The Snake Wife of the HP Professor

Ch.05: Daily life

Spider's End, like a big dark and dirty dump, crossed dilapidated houses, and the last house at the end of the alley was Snape's house.Zenobia stood in front of the dilapidated door and looked around. The towering black chimney not far away was crumbling. The cold and desolate environment made her feel inexplicably heavy.This is where Snape grew up. Even if she didn't remember the description in the original book, she could guess how much this man had suffered here.

"Is the scenery at Spider's End so 'beautiful' that Miss Hayes can't wake up?" Snape noticed that the girl didn't follow into the house, and stood at the door looking out with his head in a daze, his tone worse than before, "I have to Say, your taste is really worrying."

"Ah, I rarely go to human settlements, so I'm a little curious."

Zenobia put away her inexplicable emotions, walked into Snape's house with a smile, and then looked at the house.To be honest, the feeling of this house is really bad. It is dark, cramped, gloomy and depressing. Except for the two walls full of books, there are only a few pieces of old furniture left.

Snape waved his second-hand wand a few times, and simply tidied up the house: "Miss Hayes, your room is on the left-hand side of the second floor. I think that the housework magic you are so proud of is completely capable of tidying up by yourself."

"Of course." Zenobia grinned happily, "I'm just about to test the spell I learned! I figured it out, you're always so busy with potions that you don't even remember to eat. House hygiene and three meals a day Just leave it to me, anyway, I usually have a lot of free time, and I just happen to be more familiar with the spell."

"I don't know when you have the goal of being a house-elf!" Snape sneered, "It seems that Miss Hayes is a little self-aware. Since you feel that you are usually free, I think there are many more worth studying than housework magic." question."

Zenobia knew that he wasn't sincerely sarcastic, so she explained: "I'm a little embarrassed to always eat and live with you."

Snape raised his eyebrows and was noncommittal. After sending his luggage into the room, he went to the basement without resting, and plunged into the world of potions again.Zenobia pursed her lips, sighed "Crucible Control" in her heart, and went upstairs to clean her room.

There is only a bed, a chair and a table in the room, not even a wardrobe.But the fewer things, the more convenient it is for her to dress up, and she feels a little impatient.You know, she hasn't lived in a human's house for a long time. Although this is not her own home, but no accident, at least for the last few holidays, she will always live here, so it is natural to decorate it well.

Taking out the staff she hadn't seen for a long time, she tried a magic spell that she was not yet proficient in, changing the room: the dilapidated wooden bed was transformed into an oversized bed, the four pillars at the head of the bed were raised, entwined with silver-green patterns, snow-blue The bed curtain swayed and dragged to the floor; the chair turned into a spacious single sofa; the desk became newer and bigger; the abandoned low cabinet in the living room was turned into a standing cabinet for clothes; the ceiling and walls turned lavender, dotted with flowing starlight ...The quilts and pillows, after dozens of cleanings, were replaced with light blue silk embroidered with silver snake patterns—no way, although she wanted to go to the store to buy some new ones, but she was not familiar with the place here, and she Since he couldn't fully transform himself, Snape probably didn't have the patience to buy these things.

To Zenobia's delight, the guest room was connected to a small balcony. She used a spell to restore the glass on the window, making the balcony clean and bright, and took out a few flower seeds—her favorite magical colorful vine Seeds - thrown in the four corners of the balcony.Soon, lush green vines climbed around the balcony, and the vines fluttered irregularly and fell down to the first floor. Small light blue, light purple, or silvery white flowers bloomed irregularly among the branches and leaves. Butterflies and birds make this cold house suddenly come alive.

The overall layout of the room consumed a lot of Zenobia's magic power. After all, she was not familiar with the spells here, so in order to achieve the perfect effect, she could only consume a lot of her own magic power.Although she felt a little tired, she was still ready to continue to renovate the rest of the house - anyway, Snape did not refuse the proposal she said earlier to clean the house.

Snape's bedroom and study room, without the master's consent, she couldn't make decisions without authorization, so she made major adjustments to the stairs, hall and kitchen, and even the gate and the deserted courtyard behind, according to her preference and Slater's. The characteristics of Lin changed the color of the house into a low-key and noble silver-green, the furniture was completely new, the kitchen was clean and tidy, the glass was shiny and translucent, in front of the windows, there were magic vines fluttering from time to time, and faintly dancing flowers could be seen.

In the yard, the weeds were cleared away, and on the flat open space, a thick and towering tree grew, with umbrella-shaped branches and leaves on the straight trunk - the big tree is naturally for the giant snake to climb around - Although there are no flowers, there is a refreshing and elegant fragrance swaying from time to time.This kind of tree fragrance can help people fall asleep and relieve fatigue at the same time.

When Snape came out of the cellar before dinner, he was surprised to see the great changes in his home. Facing the open windows, the setting sun pierced through the big trees and magic vines, and the house was full of silence.He stood still, and it took him a long time to regain his dazed expression—the house that has been inhabited for decades has never been so warm and beautiful, with a kind of... homely atmosphere—he couldn’t give birth to this unexpected change Repelling mentality, her eyes fell on the silver snake sleeping on the spacious sofa in the living room, and her body-length staff was hanging on the tail of the snake a little casually. She seemed to be very tired when she was sleeping...

Snape's eyes were complicated.Pursing the corners of his lips, he walked out of the house, stood in the empty backyard, stared at the big trees and vines that appeared out of thin air for a while, and finally looked back at the dilapidated house outside, raised his wand, waved it back and forth, and said reciting a mantra.

Zenobia vaguely heard a deep and mellow male voice calling her name in her sweet dream. She twisted her snake body, and the pleasant voice made her sleep more soundly. As a result, her body lightened suddenly, as if she was about to float up again. It seemed that he was about to fall to the ground, and he couldn't help waking up.

"Hiss~ what are you doing?" She raised her head after falling to the ground, and spit out the letter in dissatisfaction, "I'm sleeping soundly."

The hissing snake language always reminds people of some bad memories, Snape subconsciously froze - his body, because of the contractual relationship, he could not understand but he could understand the meaning of the other party's expression, and replied coldly: "I I think, with Miss Hayes' obsession with eating, she doesn't want to miss any meal, I don't want someone to stay up late at night, clamoring for supper..."

The silver snake simply rolled over on the ground a few times, was too thirsty to remember, stretched its body lazily, and lay on the ground with its belly up.Snape twitched the corner of his mouth quickly: "Hmm, it seems that after Miss Hayes became a snake, her brain also degenerated."

"Hiss~ I can't transform now." Silver Snake said aggrievedly, "The magic power is overdrawn."

Snape frowned, "What happened?"

"I ran out of mana while decorating the house, hiss..."

"I'm assuming that Miss Hayes has always been confident in your advanced magic, and a few housework magic made you like this?"

The silver snake shook its head: "It's the magic colorful vine and the fragrant devil tree. They are the high-level magic plants of Galga, and they need to absorb a lot of magic power for birth and growth...I guess I was wrong..."

"Will there be a problem?" Snape sighed, feeling very helpless with this silver snake that was sometimes steady and sometimes off-line, and occasionally couldn't help but laugh.The relationship between the contract and getting along with each other these days made it impossible for him to ignore the other party. At this moment, sitting in his brand-new, deserted but full of warmth, his heart trembled slightly. Knowing that the silver snake's magic power was overdrawn, he couldn't help worrying: " I'll make you some magic supplements."

"Hiss, don't bother me. I'll be fine in two days." The silver snake hurriedly rolled on the ground, stopping the young man from going to the potion room. "Actually, the occasional overdraft of magic power is good for me. Help. It’s better to eat quickly, I’m so hungry,” the snake’s head tilted up to see the simple food on the floral tablecloth, “The rice you cooked is sizzling, I haven’t eaten it yet!”

Seeing the silver snake gradually regaining its vitality, Snape pursed his lips, temporarily gave up the idea of ​​brewing potions, sat back at the table, and enjoyed his dinner.

Snape sat down on the sofa after eating and drinking, with an old black book on his knees, rubbing the edge of the book with his fingers, he looked at the silver snake drinking a large jug of milk, and glanced at the other's huge body, Thinking of the weight of the other party's dinner, I was a little confused: "Are you full?"

"Hiss~ I'm full, I eat less when I turned into the main body than when I was in human form."

Hearing this, Snape smirked, "I thought your appetite in human form would be enough to feed a magic pig to death."

Silver Snake was embarrassed, she was just greedy for something to eat...well, she changed the subject and asked, "Is there any food in stock at home? When I cleaned up the kitchen today, the cabinets were all empty... I will cook later , I’m afraid you need to buy ingredients, after all, I can’t go out like this.”

Snape snorted: "I don't think you need to worry about starving to death. You'd better cultivate your body first, and I will take care of the food."

Thinking of the state of the other party's complete obsession once he brewed the potion, Silver Snake expressed disbelief: "Anyway, it's magic cooking, so I don't get in the way..." She proudly showed off, "My cooking is delicious!"

"Hmm...I don't know if the food you cook is good or not," Snape laughed. "It's possible to poison a basilisk." Thinking of the girl's weird taste, he reserved his opinion.

"Hmph, at least it tastes better than yours." The silver snake hissed dissatisfiedly, and noticed the "basilisk" said by the other party, "Basilisk? What is that? Is it also a snake? Where can I meet it?" As she said that, she became a little curious. It seemed that there was a snake in Hogwarts. She couldn't remember the specifics. It seemed very complicated.

Snape was just talking casually, but when he was asked, he suddenly remembered the thousand-year-old monster hidden in the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets. Seeing that the silver snake was obviously curious, he couldn't help frowning: "I assume, Miss Hayes will not Like those stupid lions, they want to provoke a thousand-year-old basilisk in order to satisfy that trivial curiosity."

"Of course hiss!" Silver Snake thought he wasn't arrogant, "I'm just curious."

Snape thought for a while, and felt that it was necessary to explain the danger of the basilisk: "The basilisk has a pair of murderous eyes. Anyone who looks directly into its eyes will be killed instantly. Its fangs are also very powerful."

"Hiss..." Silver Snake pondered for a while, thinking about going to see the basilisk sooner or later, but he decided to forget it before he understood clearly and made full preparations, "It's normal to have strong poison, what's the matter with the murderous eyes? ?”

"The eyes of the basilisk are cursed." Snape briefly explained his confusion, sensing the idea of ​​the silver snake's squirming, and threatened fiercely, "I hope Miss Hayes will not be caught by me doing something reckless, otherwise, I don't mind having the corpse of the only silver king snake in the world as a potion material in the potion room."

"Hiss, holy spells can restrain most curses. Of course, I won't deliberately provoke the basilisk." The silver snake slapped its tail, the red stripes on the snake's head gave off a faint halo, and retracted its staff on the sofa. Then he climbed up the stairs, "I'm too sleepy today, go to bed first, and Mr. Snape should go to bed early too. Good night, hiss!"

When the commotion upstairs completely subsided, Snape whispered, "Good night." Then he looked down at the book in his hand.
