They've chosen a hidden path that won't meet nightwalkers - thanks to his ghostly friend Prince, who has figured out the secret passages of Hogwarts.

As for the Astronomy Tower, luckily no one came to visit them, and they might be the last guests tonight.

They came to the astronomy tower, outside the castle, and at a glance they could see the Black Lake quietly reflecting the moonlight under the moonlight, and the Forbidden Forest where the shadows of trees swayed in the dark. With the ice edge, the earth is full of moonlight, gradually approaching the full moon, so that the lake and forest can be seen at a glance.

And looking up is the starry sky full of stars, the stars are extraordinarily bright against the moonlight.

Harry took a deep breath. The top of the Astronomy Tower was obviously much colder than the inside of the castle, and the outside was still below zero. On the walls, you can vaguely see the thin ice formed by the melted snow from yesterday floating on the bricks.And his glasses were covered with a layer of fog since they came out, so he had to raise his hand and point his magic wand at the glasses to cast the defog spell.

The cold wind whizzed in, making Harry's hair even more messy. He couldn't help but reach out to support the frame of the mirror. The wind seemed to have a knife blade, which made the skin on his face sting, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes.

Soon the wind stopped.

"Are you cold?" Harry looked at Prince beside him, the pearly white ghost seemed to be emitting a soft light from the inside out under the moonlight, making him unable to help staring at him.

Snape shook his head, and he cast a wandless warming spell on Harry, "Have you forgotten my state? The only person who will freeze to death will be you. The bonus of watching the stars is the one in the school infirmary." A day trip, plus a cup of hot cold medicine, is really a unique idea.”

"I just forgot how cold it was outside." Harry blushed when he was told, and then he blinked, those emerald green eyes looking at Snape through the lenses, as if he were some strange creature, "I never You can use magic even after seeing ghosts, Prince, you are even more magical than Peeves - but you are very smart and different from them, maybe one day you can also make potions yourself Research continues!"

"I'm looking forward to it." Snape pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.Maybe this time and space he will become a ghost and he can have a physical body.

But at this moment Harry looked up at the sky, and the stars really fell into his eyes.He couldn't see the smile on Snape's face.

"They're so beautiful, and every time I look up and see this patch of stars, the ones that make my brain buzz and make me feel sad or cranky, all those troubles just go away. It's the most amazing thing I've ever encountered magic." Harry marveled at the stars, the specks of crumbly sparkle on his glasses and in his emerald green eyes.

"Stars are distant images, the speed of light is constant in a vacuum, and these stars are very far away from us, and it took tens of thousands of years for them to reach our sight." Snape looked up at the night sky Stars, his eyes were fixed on Harry as he turned his head.He recalled what he saw in the book, and gently told this foolish Potter who thought there was calming magic hidden in the stars.

"I just remember that in the astronomy class, Professor Sinistra said that the north pole of the sky has been moving with time, and the one we mark as the North Star is not the same as the one in 1000 years." Harry racked his brains to figure out He picked up astronomy from the corner of his memory. As for constellations and divination, he handed them back to the professor after the exam.

"That is to say, the changes we have seen, this piece of sky, is actually a projection tens of thousands of years ago, but we don't know what they look like now."

Harry turned his head and looked at Snape, his eyes were full of excitement and joy, "We have been separated from these stars for such a long time and space, so Prince, isn't it that we are now sharing the past tens of thousands of years ago?" Under this night? It's really amazing! Moreover, this sky is changing every moment, and the starry sky we see now really belongs to us. Tomorrow or many years later, they It's all different."

This is their starry sky only - Snape was stunned by Harry's words, his eyes became hot, staring straight at the unconscious Harry right in front of him.The pearly white he presented made his gaze cold, even if Harry looked at him, he couldn't detect the turbulent and gradually rising heat hidden in it.

"You too." Snape whispered, "It's the first time I've ever watched the stars with someone else. I invited a friend a long time ago, but she didn't come. And then I lost her relationship with her." He His voice was like the erratic wind, accompanied by the whistling cold wind, Harry could only vaguely distinguish his words from the sound of the wind.

"We can look at the stars together in the future." Harry said immediately, he didn't want to see the disappointment on Snape's face, even if it wasn't showing on his face now.

Prince has always been so calm and caring.He is such a warm hearted person.And the friend he mentioned—"she"—that girl, how could she give up such a good friend?

Harry suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and the twinkling stars couldn't relieve his sudden depression.

The wind stopped again.

"Harry." Snape said.

"We can really make stars together in the future, and we can come if you want to." Harry showed a bright smile, and he continued, "Originally I planned to become an Auror after graduation, but I have you, you are mine Friend. How can I leave you alone at Hogwarts—so, I want to stay in school and become a professor, maybe Defense Against the Dark Arts or maybe flying classes, and I'm good at these two subjects! "

Snape looked at Harry quietly, his complex and deep eyes reflected only the sincere and warm Harry who was smiling at him in front of him.

How can he be so cute?

Harry was watched as if all the blood was pooling towards his forehead, and the volcano was erupting in his mind, and the heat was rising up - this was definitely not the effect of the Warming Charm.

Maybe he should give Prince a hug? — After all — he was so lonely after all.

Thinking of this, Harry stretched out his hand, but it only passed through the translucent body that was as bright as the moonlight, his fingertips fell into the air, and the cold mist-like touch felt like a thorn instantly. transmitted to his brain.

"Prince, I can't touch you again." Harry looked at his ghost friend in confusion and loss, as if yesterday's touch was just his personal dream.

"Harry, I'm sorry," was all Snape could say.It's not the first time, but he hates the current ghost state the most, he can't hug his Harry, his fingertips can't touch his soft and warm cheeks, and he can't lift him away when he is blown by the wind Hair tangled up to cover his eyes.

Not to mention giving him a kiss, using his cold lips to touch those hot and plump lips, comforting his friend who is worried about gain and loss - no, he will not become friends with a Potter.

Never will.

"It's enough that I know you're here with me." Harry took a deep breath, and he gave his ghostly friend a smile, pulling himself together.

The cold wind had cut a fingernail-long cut on the back of his hand.

Snape noticed the new gap, but the Gryffindor in front of him, obsessed with the urge to look at the stars, didn't notice.

He couldn't even hold this hand and put it in his pocket.

"Go back, we'll see the stars next time," said Snape, adding another Warming Charm to Harry.

Harry nodded, and looked up at the bright sky before leaving - anyway, he will be with Prince for countless days and nights in the future - they will not miss these lights that have taken thousands of years to come here.
