[HP] Astringent

It was finally the weekend, and Vanessa was so happy that she hugged Snape's arm and wrapped him around to lie down for a while.Perhaps Snape also felt that since the beginning of school, the time the two met had plummeted, and it was rare to indulge her in sleeping for an extra hour.

Snape was going to boil the potion, and Vanessa followed him to the laboratory.It was like back in the fifth grade, Snape occupied the abandoned classroom to make potions, and she sat beside her, painting her nails and staring in a daze.Vanessa was writing a new book, and she had almost finished sorting out the information on the Bahariya Oasis. She walked over to Snape, resting her chin on his shoulder.Snape was transcribing an experiment report.

"I'll still come."

Vanessa took the parchment, the only thing she used to be good at.Snape's handwriting was thin and long, and there were always many letters crowded together tightly, and there were many places for random scribbling.But this is not a problem for Vanessa. She wrote the experimental phenomenon neatly, leaving a two-inch border on the right side to record unresolved problems and precautions, and then compared the potion book to write the changes in double digits. Mark out the horizontal line.

After getting this perfect experiment record, Snape couldn't find any faults.He looked at Vanessa's expression begging for praise, peeled a piece of fruit candy and stuffed it into her mouth.Vanessa said happily: "I didn't expect to remember your habit of sorting out materials."

"That's because you had to copy it over three times before, and it's not as fast as I summed it up myself." Snape raised the corners of his mouth, showing a faint smile, "Should I be grateful for your IQ over the years? Significantly improved?"

Vanessa shook her finger: "Then your IQ really remains the same, and you didn't even see that I made a typo on purpose." Seeing Snape's suspicious expression, she smiled, and pushed the candy to the right with her tongue. He puffed his cheeks and said vaguely, "If I do everything right at once, what reason can I find to cling to you?"

Snape thought for a moment, called a storage box on the top shelf of the bookshelf, and took out a stack of bound and yellowed parchment.He pulled the cranky Vanessa into his arms, pointed to the scratches on each page and said: "Obviously you overestimated your IQ, and you are not all right once. Write purslane as purslane, flower caterpillar Write 6.5 grams as 0.5 grams, and copy the second step into the third step..." Vanessa looked at him puzzled, and he sighed softly, "Nisa, I could have had countless reasons to drive you away. go out."

Vanessa looked at him and blinked slowly: "Sev...Have I ever told you that I have liked you since the fifth grade, and I have liked you for a long, long time..." Somehow she began to feel aggrieved, Different from the grievances in the past, it is the grievances that some people like to use as a tool for coquettishness.

Snape looked at her, the lights reflected in the dark pupils converged into a galaxy: "I see."

Vanessa buried her head in the crook of his neck embarrassingly, her cheeks burning.Fortunately, they only missed 18 years, which is not too long.

After the two lingered over their lunch, Snape sat on the sofa and read a book on Potions. He was never idle.Vanessa napped on his lap.It was a quiet afternoon, suddenly Snape put down the book and covered his left arm.

Vanessa didn't sleep soundly, she woke up immediately: "He summoned you?"

Snape looked serious, and nodded slowly.This period of time passed peacefully, and Vanessa would even forget that the war was just around the corner.Her heart was raised: "Can you not go? Just say that you can't do things that make Dumbledore suspicious."

"I'm afraid not..." Snape also couldn't figure out why he was summoned at such a time.

Vanessa paced the room in a panic, desperately trying to find a way to go with Snape, from the Animagus to the Cloak of Harry's Ears.Snape saw through her thoughts: "You wait for me here."

"But you are too dangerous alone!"

"At least for now, the Dark Lord still needs to have an eyeliner in Hogwarts." He let go of his burning left arm to make his words more convincing, "It shouldn't be long." He didn't want Fanny Sarah was too worried.

"Can……"

Snape shook his head, and picked up his robe.Vanessa followed her like a little tail without stopping.He sighed and lowered his voice: "Nissa, be obedient."

Vanessa bit her lower lip and said worriedly, "If you don't come back after an hour, I'll go to Professor Dumbledore."

When Snape entered the drawing room of Malfoy Manor, there were a few people sitting sporadically at the long table.Everyone wore hoods and masks, but he could make out most of them.Before he could speak, a Cruciatus Curse was his meeting gift.Suppressing a cry of pain, he fell to his knees at Voldemort's feet.

"Severus, I thought you wouldn't show up if I didn't ask Weasley to come over first." Voldemort finished in a icy voice, and everyone shuddered.Snape was no exception, he hurriedly said in a reverent tone: "I'm sorry my master, it took some time to get out quietly under the nose of that old fox Dumbledore."

While stroking Nagini's head, Voldemort ordered: "Lift your head up." Immediately afterwards, Snape felt a consciousness break into his brain, and recent memories were skimmed like postcards.After a while, Voldemort was satisfied that he didn't find any wrongdoing in him, and his tone softened a bit: "Sit down, Severus."

"Thank you, my master." He bowed his head deeply, made a humble salute, and then sat down next to Malfoy.

Voldemort looked down at Nagini and hissed, with a hideous grin on his face that made one shudder.Nagini got some order, walked around the long table, inspected the crowd, and finally stopped in front of Malfoy and Snape, raised his huge head, stared into the black eyes shining with cold light, and spat out the letter.Malfoy trembled, and showed a flattering smile: "I don't know what else we can do for you, my master?"

"But I can't quite trust your abilities, Lucius. You lost my stuff and brought it to my enemies."

Malfoy lowered his head in trepidation and assumed a humble attitude: "I don't understand..."

"What did I give you before I left briefly?" Voldemort sneered shortly. "Shall I go on?"

Malfoy immediately got out of the chair and knelt down in front of Voldemort: "I don't know, Master. I'm too stupid to know how important that thing is..." His unfinished excuses all turned into painful exclamations.Seeing his distressed appearance, Voldemort put away his wand in satisfaction: "If you can successfully help me get that prophecy, I will forgive you. Go back and sit down, Lucius." He raised his hand contemptuously, Mal Fu gritted his teeth and dragged his painful body back to his seat.

"Let's talk about you again, Severus. I remember you taking my little thing with Dumbledore." Voldemort's eyes were bloodshot. "Tell me, is it still there?"

Snape nodded slightly, and he replied neither humble nor humble: "It's still there, my master. I guess Dumbledore didn't understand its mysteries."

"What about you? My wisest servant, do you know what that is?"

"I don't know, master. Dumbledore was cautious and suspicious, and he put away the ring without letting me take a second look." He looked directly at Voldemort's with empty eyes, "I would like to help you find a way Take back."

"If you succeed, you will get your reward." Voldemort recalled Nagini with satisfaction.

The focus of the meeting finally shifted away from Snape and Malfoy, and the other Death Eaters actively advised Voldemort on how to subdue the Dementors in order to save their loyal old colleagues from Azkaban.Snape listened attentively while estimating the time, he was afraid that Vanessa would be too worried.

Finally, Voldemort showed mercy and let Snape go back to Hogwarts first.He couldn't wait to get back to Hogsmeade, and Vanessa was waiting restlessly for her at the gate.She stretched her neck and looked into the distance, the wind made her face red.The moment she saw Snape, she ran like the wind, and stopped before she was about to fall into his arms.Her eyes were red, and she kept opening her big warm brown eyes, looking him up and down.

They walked towards the school together, neither of them speaking.When passing by a towering tree, Snape grabbed Vanessa's cold fingers under the cover of the tree trunk. With a "boom", she felt her heart finally fall back into her chest.She seized those few seconds and shook back those same cold hands.Then the two opened up the proper distance between colleagues.

Snape and Vanessa walked quickly down the stairs and into the office.Vanessa couldn't hold back anymore, she turned around and hugged Snape.Snape felt himself being pulled back to the world by the warmth of his arms.

After a while, Vanessa raised her head again, with tears in her eyes, she held his face with both hands: "Did he make things difficult for you? Are you not hurt? What happened?" A series of questions were asked It came out, so that Snape didn't know where to start.He gave up answering and pulled Vanessa into his arms again.Vanessa's heartache didn't lessen, she gently patted his back like coaxing a child.You must know that this is only one time, and he will not know how many times he will be on the verge of life and death in the future.

Vanessa was so absorbed in her emotions that she didn't notice that Snape's hand stroking the end of her hair was trembling slightly - he wasn't suffering from the Cruciatus Curse he suffered, but he almost exposed it at that moment His own brain, as he recalled how Vanessa had persevered through a hundred times the pain.

After Vanessa fully believed that Snape returned safely, she blushed and let go of Snape: "Look at how useless I am, I don't deserve to be a Gryffindor..." she murmured , "But you like brave girls."

"I like you." He thought it would be difficult to say easily, and slipped out from between his lips and teeth when he was distracted.

Snape looked at the person in front of him with deep eyes.If Lily is like the sun, which used to be his only light, Vanessa is more like a furnace, warm but unstable, always worried about when the flame will be blown out.But people can never embrace the sun, he is willing to be a firewood, so that she can burn longer.

Vanessa was stunned: "Even if I never... can't be as good, kind, and beautiful as Lily?"

Before that, Snape would never have imagined that the look of denying himself in every possible way would appear on Vanessa's face, which didn't suit her at all.His Vanessa is obviously a girl who is arrogant no matter what others say.Snape replied without hesitation: "I don't think there is any difference." The tone seemed to believe in the potion he had brewed.

Vanessa was hot all over, and felt like she was going to melt into those deep obsidian eyes.This time it was her turn to cover Snape's eyes: "Stop looking at me like that, Sev. You know I can't love you more."

Snape didn't take her hand away, but tightened his arms around her, brought her to a place where he could touch her with a slight bow, and offered her the only thing he could give her at the moment - a deep kiss .

The author has something to say:

The professor can be regarded as a spoiled wife. (Since letting the professor fall in love is considered broken, I might as well let the professor break even more.)

PS Wine and Voldemort can compete who is the biggest matchmaker in this article XD

By the way, I finished watching "Wuthering Heights" recently, it's so good, and I think the professor is similar to the hero in some aspects! ! !Bai Yueguang married someone he hated or hated, and Bai Yueguang died early QAQ

It couldn't be more fun to bring the professor's face into the whole process!I actually want to see Wuthering Heights AU! ! !
