[HP] Blast! Word Small Universe

Jane went down to the cellar with a package on Christmas night, and this time Snape didn't answer the door.She guessed that Snape might not be in the office, because he would never shut him out even if he didn't want to see her, after all he would be worried about what trouble he might cause him.

The cold north wind made Jane shiver, she stood there alone holding the gift, and stomped her feet vigorously.She thought maybe she could give him his Christmas present tomorrow, and maybe she'd freeze to death in front of Snape's office standing here in the air.

Jane walked back holding the gift, and when she reached the corner of the corridor, she heard someone talking.She stopped in her tracks and listened carefully for a while, realizing that it was Snape who had spoken.

"That's not the way, Albus. Sooner or later, people will find out, and you will be held accountable by the board of directors." Snape's voice sounded terrible: "It's too risky for you to hire him, and you There is no guarantee that there is no relationship between him and Black—he must know something! At least he knows why Black escaped from Azkaban!"

Immediately afterwards, she heard Dumbledore's voice: "Severus, I know your worries. As you said, they used to be friends, so Black will definitely go to Lupine. If he comes to Lupine Ping, we have a chance to find him, don't we? And I believe Lupine, he will not betray James like Black, they were once friends."

Jane gasped, her eyes widened in disbelief: Dumbledore actually said that Black, Lupine, and Harry's father used to be friends!

Immediately afterwards, something even more unexpected happened to Jane——

Snape almost gritted his teeth and said, "But he's a werewolf! If he goes mad and bites a student, Hogwarts will be closed!"

"And you, Severus, and your wolf potion, he will get himself under control." Dumbledore said, "Okay, don't talk about it anymore. I have to go back. I still Gotta write a letter to the Ministry about the hippogriff."

Jane stood there motionless, digesting what she had just heard.She couldn't imagine that the mild-mannered Lupine had always been a werewolf - no wonder Snape was always so wary of him!No wonder Lupine was always weak!

She heard a series of footsteps coming towards her from far and near, and when she turned a corner, she saw Snape looking at her in surprise.

"Why are you here! It's curfew, Gene!" Snape said grimly.

Jane didn't care about Snape's angry appearance, she looked at Snape and didn't speak for a while.

Snape looked at Jane's weird look, and quickly realized that she should have heard the conversation between him and Dumbledore just now. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at her: "You heard what you just said."

Jane looked at Snape without chewing.

Snape took a deep breath and dragged the man from the corridor back to his office.Closing the door, he lit the fireplace: "If you want to tell Potter—"

"I didn't intend to say it." Jane said suddenly, and she interrupted Snape: "I believe that Professor Lupine didn't want to hurt Harry, and I also trust Professor Dumbledore's judgment."

Snape snorted coldly, and said viciously, "That's because you haven't seen your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor turn into a werewolf!"

"What about you? Have you seen it?" Jane asked back.

Snape caught his breath, missed Jane's gaze, and said coldly: "Let a werewolf stay here, and you will regret it sooner or later."

Jane watched Snape walk away angrily, she knew what she said must have upset him.She understood what he was thinking, because sometimes Snape didn't think about Harry alone, he was worried that Lupine would hurt other students, and he was also worried that Lupine's incident would get Dumbledore into trouble endless trouble.

She watched Snape go to his desk and look at the thick stack of parchment on the desk, which was the students' homework.Jane put the gift in her arms on the armchair beside her, walked over slowly, reached out and hugged Snape.

Snape didn't push her away, maybe he was used to her hugging from time to time, or maybe he didn't have the energy to struggle at this time, his expression looked extraordinarily empty, staring blankly at the parchment on the table .

"I'm sorry for saying that just now." Jane whispered, "But I think you should give him a chance."

Snape pushed her away, pulled his chair and sat down, put his hand to his forehead, he looked very tired: "Let's go, go back."

"I don't think I can leave now. Your condition seems to make me worry." Jane said worriedly. She had never seen Snape showing such obvious tiredness. Most of the time, Snape in her eyes was A lifeless, expressionless or malicious, sinister and mean guy, from time to time sneers and sneers: "What is hiding in your heart? What makes you feel so tired? You are always so mysterious, let me I can't see through you."

Snape closed his eyes, his brow furrowed slightly.The light from the fire in the fireplace cast shadows around his yellowed cheeks, and his head rested on rough, yellow hands, and his greasy hair covered his face.

Jane reached out and pulled his hair behind his ears, stroking his face softly.At this time, she couldn't tell what kind of feeling she was feeling in her heart, she just felt a little bitter in her heart - she had been trying very hard to understand him and get close to him, but she found that he kept her isolated in another world.

Why should he protect Harry?

Why should he hate Harry?

Why did he treat Malfoy differently?

What kind of relationship does he have with Lucius?

Why does he hate Lupine?Is it just because Lupine is a werewolf?

Everything is like one mystery after another tightly wrapping him together, no matter how hard she tries, she can't find the real answer.

"Sev..." Jane whispered softly, this was the first time she said his name so intimately.

Snape shivered slightly as he felt warm breath on his chapped lips.He figured he should run away, he shouldn't have accepted it all.But he found that he didn't have the strength to escape at all, or he didn't want to escape at this time, he just wanted to let another thing take him out of this quagmire - when Jane asked him if he had seen Lupine transform into a werewolf , He couldn't help thinking of the time when he was in the fourth grade.He walked into the secret passage of the Whomping Willow and saw a horrible nightmare.If it weren't for his sworn enemy, maybe he would have died there.But even if James Potter saved him, he wouldn't be grateful to that guy - he just didn't want Lupine's affairs to be exposed.

He was well aware of this, but Lily was not.She always thought that it was James Potter who saved him, and he should be grateful to Dade for that.But in fact he thought it was Lupine and his friends who should thank him for keeping this secret which was of no use to him.

A soft kiss fell on his lips, driving away the bad memories of the student days from his mind with moisture and warmth.Snape let himself indulge in this kiss, just not to recall the painful memory.

It wasn't the first time Jane kissed Snape, but compared to the last revenge kiss, this time the kiss was much gentler.And to her delight, she got a response from Snape, instead of messing around in his mouth like she was the only one venting last time.Her hand fell on his shoulder, and Snape pulled her away from him and sat her in his arms.

The beating flame of the fireplace kneaded the shadows of the two people together, and only the slight sound of the two kissing could be heard in the quiet office.

It was not until a long time later that they ended the comforting kiss.

Jane kissed his forehead and whispered, "Merry Christmas, Professor."

The author has something to say:

I actually think Jane would be internally hurt if she knew what was going through Snape's mind during the kiss.So, it's a good thing Jane doesn't have mind reading skills.But from another perspective, the professor is using this kiss to numb himself.Although it looks like a jerk, but anyway, the professor is also the beginning of becoming more and more unable to control his feelings.
