The Snake Wife of the HP Professor

Ch.06: Growth

When Snape came out of the potion room, he saw the exquisite dishes on the table at a glance. The effect of the Warming Charm made the plates faintly mist.He couldn't help but look at the big tree outside the window, remembering the first time he ate the food made by the silver snake, the other party's complacent attitude made him unable to help but deliberately spit out the venom, wanting to file her good self-feeling.Sitting at the dining table, eating absent-mindedly, he unconsciously glanced at the big tree.

Summer is coming, the silver snake is very afraid of the heat, and it always wraps around the incense devil tree - the tree not only smells fragrant, but also promotes sleep, the trunk is always kept in the shade, the dense branches and leaves just block the sun, and it exudes a magical atmosphere She is very popular with animals, so Zenobia spends almost all day entangled in the tree except for eating and at night, sleeping, occasionally flipping through books, and looks lazy all day long, which makes people think that snakes not only hibernate but also aestivate .

The lazy look of the silver snake made Snape wonder how she cultivated her so-called holy magic power.

Of course, in fact, the fragrant devil tree and the magical colorful vine have also made the potion master think about it... Unfortunately, although these two strange plants are very magical and sometimes very useful, they really have no value in potions .Snape pouted dissatisfiedly.That lazy snake has collected a lot of extremely precious and rare ingredients for potions, but there are still a lot of things that she collects purely because she thinks they are interesting, fun or to satisfy a comfortable life. objects, the silver snake's soul space is naturally too small).

"Miss Hayes," the young man who had eaten walked up to the incense devil tree and said to the silver snake hidden in the branch, "I'm going to Diagon Alley in the afternoon..." After finishing speaking, the potion master suddenly felt a little awkward , I always feel that this kind of reporting behavior...is a bit weird.In fact, his original intention was to ask Silver Snake if there was anything he wanted to buy.It's just that the sudden discomfort made him unable to speak.

Zenobia didn't give the other party any time to struggle, she stretched out her upper body and said flatteringly to Snape, "Take me with you?"

"I assume, Miss Hayes, that you should know your own situation."

"I can become a snake-like mimic." Zenobia suddenly lowered half of her body, hanging in the air from a tree, keeping face to face with the young man, "Stay in your pocket or behind your hat, if you don't object, I can also Wrapped around your wrist..." She raised a hand and swore, "I just want to see what Diagon Alley looks like, and I promise not to cause trouble for you."

Snape refused mercilessly: "No. If you don't have anything you want to buy, I'm leaving."

"...I want enough chocolate frogs, cockroach piles, and lemon sherbet candies for half a month," Silver Snake shouted decisively when the boy turned and left, "and don't forget the ice cream, every kind All flavors."

"Damn it!" Snape slammed the door viciously, extremely dissatisfied with the lazy snake's same hobby as the old bee, and growled angrily, "Don't think I wasted Galleons to buy some worthless rubbish back."

Hearing the heavy slamming of the door, Zenobia laughed triumphantly: Hehe, since you don't take me out, I have to be disgusting and disgusting, you hiss~

Diagon Alley, the shopping street for wizards, is always buzzing.Snape came out of Knockturn Alley, looked at the snack shop and ice cream shop opposite, frowned bitterly, very dissatisfied with the idea of ​​wasting Galleons on these disgusting snacks.

Sighing silently in his heart, he finally moved away with difficulty and walked towards the snack store in disgust.

It's just...he suddenly stopped in his tracks, silently looking at the dazzling and beautiful red hair of the girl across from him, and...the messy hair that the boy hates.The girl looked angrily, cursing something at the boy; the boy smiled flatteringly, without the slightest dissatisfaction, and tried to hold the girl's hand from time to time, but was thrown away by the other party, but never gave up again and again.In the end, the girl seemed to give up, she looked away angrily, but she didn't struggle anymore.

Snape watched their interaction in a trance, a little disappointed, but unexpectedly he didn't have the bitter jealousy he had experienced before, and of course his dislike for old Potter remained undiminished.Pompous Gryffindor!He cursed secretly.

The handsome men and beautiful women who attracted the attention of most of the surroundings looked so coordinated and well-matched.No matter how much Snape hated Potter, he had to admit that Potter had fully demonstrated Gryffindor's courage, enthusiasm, persistence and fearlessness in front of Lily. Compared with himself, the other party might be more suitable for Lily.Severus Snape, a poor half-breed, a potion genius, is an inferior and proud Slytherin. He is used to being mean and gloomy, awkward and poisonous, and may never be able to express his heart honestly.

And Slytherin and Gryffindor are doomed that he and she cannot choose the same path. Even if he no longer wants to follow the Dark Lord, and even looks down on the fame and power of the name, he and Lily are absolutely impossible to get together. The gap between philosophy and cognition is destined to keep diverging and going further and further apart.He could never approve of Gryffindor, just as Gryffindor had never admitted to trusting him.In his previous life, in order to atone for his sins, he had no choice but to choose Dumbledore.And this time, he will not repeat the same mistakes, although perhaps, he admires the great white wizard in his heart.

The master of potions, who had spent his whole life and finally redeemed his sins at the cost of his life, was reborn. When he saw those old people, he was left with only relief and loss.Even for Lily, the youthful sprout, because of guilt and redemption, suffered and endured in black and white for nearly 20 years. After a death, she was found without a trace. The only thing is to hope that the other party can escape this time. Wish for a happy life.

On the opposite side, the red-haired girl suddenly looked over as if sensing Snape's gaze.Snape's body froze slightly, and Potter also turned his eyes along the girl, and it was not difficult to guess what insulting address the other party uttered by looking at his mouth.Lily Evans quickly turned her head away, and the anger that had calmed down seemed to surge again. She shook off Potter's hand vigorously, turned and left without hesitation.Potter also ignored his old enemy, and hurriedly chased the girl away.

The unexpected encounter made Snape's mood worse, he calmed down his chaotic emotions, he lost his mind to buy snacks for Zenobia, and hurried home.

As soon as Snape walked into the living room, he heard messy noises behind him, he couldn't help clenching his wand, and walked towards the door vigilantly, only to see half of the silver snake in the room, its tail still dragging in the backyard, lying between the door, twitching Holding the body of the snake, there were occasional messy hissing sounds, as if in pain.

"What's going on?" Snape was a little surprised, approached the silver snake cautiously, stretched out his wand, hesitating whether to check the silver snake.

Fortunately, Zenobia was still sane. When she heard Snape's voice, she reluctantly replied, "Slough...skin! It hurts..."

Snape was relieved, but seeing the other party's pained look, he still asked: "Are you okay?" It is said that this is not the first time the silver snake has shed its skin, "Do you need me to do something?"

"...It's okay," Silver Snake replied weakly, "Can you... hiss, send me to the bathroom? I need water...a lot of water..."

Snape waved a Levitation Charm, quickly sent the silver snake into the bathroom, and put the silver snake into the bathtub while running water.It's just that the snake is too big to fit in the bathtub: "Be patient." After speaking, he quickly waved his wand, quickly expanding the space by more than double.The silver snake slid into the pool, rolled over, and slowly squirmed on the bathtub.

Seeing that the silver snake was obviously much more comfortable, Snape filled the water, went to the living room, found a few books about magical animals, magical creatures and snakes from the messy bookshelves, and quickly looked them up.

Zenobia felt like her whole body was on fire, and the pain made her want to shed tears. She didn't expect that she would suddenly reach maturity and fall from the tree, and she didn't even have time to enter the house... The scorching sun in the afternoon shone on her His body exacerbated the pain, and the pain was not relieved until he was put into a bathtub filled with water.

The belated maturity period and the loss of magic power suffered by Shattered Time and Space have made this moulting more difficult and painful.

"...Hayes, Hayes."

Zenobia vaguely heard the boy's voice calling her, and slowly spit out the letter a few times.

Snape was standing next to the bathtub with a large bottle of potion, and found that the silver snake seemed to have fallen into a coma. Make potions to ease the other party's pain.Except for a bottle of potion soaked in water, the bottle in his hand had to be drunk by the silver snake.Helpless, he could only feed the potion to the silver snake with his own hands: "Open your mouth..."

When Zenobia finally woke up, she found herself sleeping in her big soft and comfortable bed.She raised her upper body and looked down at her new skin: the original thick silver faded from the coldness, and the seeping milky white made the snake's body look soft and charming, and there were more inconspicuous dark lines.This time shedding the skin made the magic power that was occasionally too active in the body quiet, thick and stable.

The upper body turned into a human body, and Zenobia swam out of bed—probably because Snape’s potion was very effective, she had fully cultivated in a few days, and she was completely free from the weakness after shedding her skin before—opening the door, she came to the living room , Seeing the rich food on the table, I immediately ran happily and ate it hungrily.

"Mr. Snape?" The girl quietly pushed open the door of the potion room, and found that there was no one she was looking for. Entering the living room, "You're back." Did she know that this shedding was thanks to Snape's potion.

The girl greeted her happily, which made Snape shake his head: "Yes," the human figure of the silver snake looked a little bigger after shedding its skin, with a hint of girlish charm, and a touch of enchantment in the snake-like temperament.Snape pursed his lips, suppressed his discomfort, and handed over an interspatial bag, "The candies and ice cream you want." His tone was also tinged with disgust.

Zenobia froze for a moment, and then showed a big smile: "Thank you, sir."
