[HP] Astringent

Vanessa got up early.As usual, she rolled into Snape's arms and gave him a loud kiss.Snape narrowed his eyes and stared blankly at the chandelier on the ceiling.Then he pulled the covers over Vanessa.

Snape was really cute when he first woke up, always doing stupid things that he wouldn't normally do.For example, he is still not used to seeing Vanessa lying on his shoulder with shining eyes when he opened his eyes, so he will choose to cover her with a quilt, pretending that this person does not exist at all.

After Snape trudged into the bathroom, Vanessa sat on the bed, snickering.

Vanessa stood in the middle of the living room and gave the order: "Sev, you clean up the bookcases, I'll wipe the table and the sofa, and throw all the unnecessary things into this cardboard box." She thought it was a very simple thing, but it exposed Snape at his clumsiest.Like a Muggle, he had to first find a rag, soak it, wipe off all the books, and put the books back after wiping a layer.

"Don't you know the dust removal spell?"

Snape looked up at her reluctantly, but stubbornly pursed his lips, not answering her.Vanessa said to him as if she were a child: "Read to me, the dust will be sucked away." A gust of wind blew by, and a shelf of the bookcase was instantly cleaned.

Snape must have never imagined that there would be a day when Vanessa taught him magic.Seeing his awkward look, Vanessa secretly laughed.But she knew she would let it go, and before Snape could get angry, she stood on tiptoe and pressed a soft kiss on his lips.There was endless tenderness in her eyes: "Our Sev is the best." Snape swallowed back the sarcasm.

All the rooms were tidied up, and Vanessa was so tired that she collapsed on the sofa and did not move.Snape brought in the brewed tea, and Vanessa took a quick sip, gasping for hot air.She never missed a chance to be coquettish, so she immediately pouted and said to Snape, "It hurts."

With his back turned to her, Snape was looking for a spellbook to use on the shelf.When he couldn't see her expression, his sarcasm could stay online, so he gave her two words mercilessly: "You deserve it."

Vanessa grimaced and walked over maliciously.Relying on his recent weight loss, he got into Snape's arms from under his arms, blocking the book in his hand.Snape gasped for breath, his back tensed.Vanessa was only wearing a thin home skirt, and her soft body was tightly pressed against his chest.

"What do you want?" Snape's beating heart was far less calm than his tone.

Vanessa tugged at his front and pulled him to eye level, their noses touching.Vanessa said in a breathy voice, "Tongue hurts." As she said, she pressed Snape's mouth, and her tongue slipped in deftly.

After the kiss, Vanessa blinked contentedly, her face was still flushed, cute and charming.She put her arms around Snape's neck, throwing her weight on him.Snape brushed her hair with his fingertips, and sighed secretly: "The tea is cold."

Vanessa didn't notice his abnormality, and ran back to the sofa shaking her head.

He didn't know which grid he stuffed the magic book into.Looking at Vanessa's carefree back, Snape thought a lot.In fifth year Snape thought Vanessa was just a novelty, last year he thought Vanessa was just too lonely.Later, when he heard her confession, he still felt that this love would soon dissipate.

When Vanessa was almost killed by Voldemort, he let go of all worries.He thought, even for a short while, as long as it was what Vanessa wanted, give it to her.He wants to give her everything he can, even if it means taking his own life.

But he never thought that someone would treat him like this.Before he could speak, Vanessa frowned.When she looked at him, she only had him in her eyes, and when she didn't look at him, she was full of him in her heart.He is like a long-lost traveler, by the warm fire, never wanting to leave.Even if this fire will turn into a prairie fire one day and burn him to ashes, he doesn't want to leave.

Never before had he known so clearly that Lily had never loved him.

And he thought it was fine.

With her head back on the sofa, Vanessa smiled and said to Snape with a twinkle in her eyes, "Let's go buy a rug."

Snape desperately wanted to take back what he had thought an hour and a half ago.Give it to Vanessa as long as it's what she wants, but that definitely doesn't include going out with her.He looked at the wall clock again, and tapped his fingers twice on his knees: "How long do you need?"

"10 minutes!"

"That's what you said an hour ago." He threw the book on the sofa and walked upstairs impatiently.

Vanessa saw him and asked, "Do you think this white hat is better or this light yellow one?" She tried it on for Snape.

"You don't have to."

"No, I should cut my hair."

"I don't see a difference."

Vanessa gave him a white look, and said in a low voice, "What's the difference between aconitum and aconitum?" She caught the charm completely, so Snape gave him an unkind look.Vanessa laughed: "Harry told me."

"Actually there is no difference between the two." Snape snorted coldly.

Vanessa crossed her hips: "So that's why you don't cut your hair often, Mr. Snape." Vanessa threw down her white hat and slipped downstairs before Snape could react.

London in early July is the most beautiful season, and the streets are full of people.Vanessa was so excited because she hadn't been out for a long time.Snape stared at her intently, fearing that she might not be able to take it anymore.

Instead of Diagon Alley, they chose the Muggle shopping street.The reason Vanessa gave was that the wizards' things were too retro, and she wanted a more modern style.Snape didn't pay much attention to this and just let her have her way.

Vanessa stopped smiling after walking a short distance, looking a bit lost.Snape frowned and asked her, "Are you uncomfortable?"

"No..." Vanessa said vaguely, "I don't think we are a couple."

At home, Vanessa never felt this way.But it's very obvious when you go out.Snape always behaved not too close to himself when there were outsiders, and would only follow her. If he wore a pair of black sunglasses, others would definitely think he was a bodyguard.

"With all due respect, I don't know where you came to this conclusion." Snape said affirmatively, but couldn't help but look at the men and women passing by.

Vanessa's face darkened, but she pretended to be nonchalant and looked at the products in the window.This is more irresistible than when she is acting like a baby on purpose.Does he have to be like the pair of idiots across the street chewing on her to be satisfied?There was no way Snape would do such a thing.

"How about this dark gray rug?" Vanessa said.

He pursed his lips, even if he didn't need to use the skill of observing Voldemort's words and emotions, he could clearly see that something was wrong with Vanessa.He narrowed his eyes: "Vanessa?"

"It's okay." She raised the corner of her mouth, "It's too hot outside, I want to go back quickly."

She didn't look like this when she was desperately dressing up to go out.Vanessa greeted the clerk, ready to pay.Snape grabbed her hand and led her out of the shop.

"What's the matter, Sev?" Vanessa asked him.

"I wouldn't consider buying a rug at all if it was my preference." Snape looked away. "I mean, since you decide to buy it, you can buy what you want. Just don't dress up as a lion." Just nest."

Seeing his twisted appearance, Vanessa burst out laughing.She noticed that Snape hadn't let go of her hand.Snape turned his head in the other direction, just not looking at her: "Since you're happy to be like the other idiots shopping." A couple just happened to be holding hands and came running from across the road.Vanessa's face turned red, she never thought that his little thoughts would be taken into consideration by him.She thought that even if Snape liked her a little bit now, he would not change to accommodate her.The corners of her mouth were upturned desperately, and she quietly changed her clasped hands to interlocking fingers, and shook them gently twice.There was also a faint smile on Snape's brow and eyes.

Every time Snape pampered Vanessa, he regretted it.This time is no exception.Vanessa said she was out to buy carpets, but she started shopping for women's clothing because she had nothing to wear.But Snape specially helped her go back to get the clothes.Now most of the closet at home is occupied by Vanessa, and this is only summer clothes, and there are two autumn clothes on top of the cabinet.

After Vanessa entered the store, she had already lost her mind to Snape's sarcasm, and she was so disregarded that she didn't even bother to retaliate.Snape could only sit on the sofa chair closest to the cashier with a dark face.But Vanessa was not even willing to give him this tranquility, and ran over countless times, insisting that he choose the better-looking one among the two almost identical clothes.

"You don't need so many Muggle clothes."

"Aren't we going out on a date before school starts?" The feigned disappointment in her eyes was so obvious, Snape thought he would never compromise this time, and Vanessa called him in a low voice, "Sev..."

Snape, failing again, finally stopped Vanessa after she bought him five outfits as well.

Vanessa ate ice cream, and pulled Snape, who was carrying countless shopping bags, into the furniture store.Vanessa got Snape's order to pick things she likes.The color of the house is either dark brown or black, which is too dark, so she chose low-saturation but fresh colors such as lotus root powder and gray blue for carpets and tablecloths. She also picked out new coffee tables, hangers and shoe cabinets. The furniture of the hotel is selected with bronze and gold metal elements, which is closer to the cold and hard feeling of the original decoration of the home.In addition, there are tableware. Vanessa is obsessed with these small objects. She thinks that two people must put the same cup together.

The two of them couldn't take any more things. Fortunately, the wizard didn't have to squeeze the subway to go home.They found a remote corner and Apparated.

Snape threw his things in the living room and stared at Vanessa displeasedly: "There will be no next time."

"Okay, okay. I promise to bring the space bag next time." She happily arranged the carefully selected things.

The home has become very different from before, and many old objects with unpleasant memories are locked in the dark storage room all year round.Snape didn't know if it was good or not.It was just that sometimes when he wanted a cup of coffee in the morning and couldn't find the coffee pot, he remembered the conversation he had overheard.Old Potter complained to Black that his mother always liked to clean up his room on her own, and he couldn't even find a prank wand when he came home from vacation.At that time, he felt that he really hated that lucky boy.

The author has something to say:

Since there is a complete love line, there must be a hot love period and a dull period~ Now it is still a hot love period, so it will be a little more boring~

So to fall in love with a professor, you have to start with teaching the professor to fall in love XDDDD

I hope the professor is healed a little today~

PS When I re-read the professor's memories, there was such a description: "Under his focused gaze, her face blushed."So I am more inclined to think that Lily liked the professor, but the youthful affection has not risen to love, and it disappeared because the two chose different paths.

*** There is a saying that the difference between like and love is principle rather than degree: the object of love is personality (person), while the object of liking is certain attributes of someone (kindness, intelligence, beauty, etc.).That is to say, someone loses some excellent attributes, likes will disappear, but love will not disappear.Because this person is still a unity of memory at the same time as the past TA.

I think this statement is completely tried on Sally, so Lily no longer likes the professor, and the professor has always loved Lily.
