[HP] Start from Spider End Alley

Chapter 31

"Sev, how long has it been since you ate?"

"... three... days..."

"How long have you been here?"

"...three days..."

"I see……"

10 minutes later--

"Sev, go and get two eggs, forget it, four..." Lance stood by the stove, putting on an apron, washing the pot, busy.Severus hadn't come out of his previous daze, and he seemed to be standing on the side and getting in the way.Seeing Lance busy, he didn't know what he was going to do. After hearing Lance's words, he digested for a while before hurriedly taking out four eggs from the box on the side and handing them to Lance.

"Sev, go to the vegetable garden outside and pick a handful of greens and a few scallions."

Severus, who was waiting for orders, hurried to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden again...

"Sev, get the bacon out of the cupboard over there."

After picking and washing the vegetables, Severus ran over...

"There's not enough salt, bring the unopened salt from the cabinet over there."

Severus ran over after cutting the bacon...

"Sev, take out the dried seaweed and soak it."

After pouring the salt, Severus ran over...

Another 10 minutes later—

"I have to eat half of the vegetables, and two bowls of soup. Here, I'll finish all these four eggs..." Lance ignored Severus' embarrassed eyes after finishing the task, and sat across from him, sipping drink soup.Facing so many steaming and delicious dishes, Severus didn't know what mood he was in at the moment.Originally thought that Lance would not talk to him anymore, but when he was sad for his mother's death, Lance came to him unexpectedly, forcefully pulled him out of the house, and pulled out the uncontrollable grief.In this way, let him, no matter what to do, he can't give up at all.

"Eat quickly, there is no leftover!"

Swallowing, Severus began to work hard on the task, although he wanted to say that he didn't want to eat vegetables, but...Look at Lance...Forget it, let's eat...

Under the watchful eyes of the cell boss Lance, he swallowed the last bite of food with difficulty, Lance nodded slightly to pass the test, and then Severus covered his mouth, he was so supportive...

Lance pretended not to see and squinted and smiled, telling him not to eat for a few days, making him disobedient, now he will suffer.Even if he didn't know how to use these kitchen utensils, wouldn't he know how to use his crucible? The meals made with the crucible and other potion utensils that time were not bad, so dare she stay in the small black room!Dare not to eat!

"Sev, eat well, you still have 10 minutes to rest and prepare." Lance put down the soup bowl and said, clearing away the empty plates on the table.

Severus: "...?" Ready... what?No, he wants to throw up...

When Severus felt better, he stood up on the chair and moved to the kitchen, seeing...

Lance boiled a large pot of hot water, and the water in the pot rolled into boiling bubbles. Lance threw something down from time to time, stirred it with a spoon, and the smile on his face...as if a witch was brewing poison...no, why did he Can imagine Lance as a witch!Although it's really similar... Severus felt his hairs stand on end for a while, especially when Lance turned his head and smiled softly and said to him: "Severus, are you ready, it will be here soon Alright, huh..." At the time.

Severus didn't know that Lance's state was ferocious, so he just subconsciously took two steps back.

What to do with boiling water, of course, to wash things.Sigh... Lance sighed, Sev's shortcoming really needs to be corrected, he doesn't pay much attention to hygiene, well, she needs to tolerate Sif, a problem that most boys have.

"Sev, come here obediently." Lance rolled up his sleeves to run water and test the temperature.Severus hesitated at the bathroom door and refused to go in.

"I can do it myself..." His hair hasn't been washed for several days, and he can't bear to look at it so dirty, let Lance wash it... If his hair is still clean, he doesn't care about letting Lance wash it...

"Sev, the water is going to be cold, come here quickly." Lance didn't understand why Sev always looked so awkward every time, it's been a few years, he should get used to it.

"Lance, are you going to take a break?"

"Come here..." If he asked him to do the washing himself, it must be a perfunctory washing.Lance ignored his change of subject, folded his arms and asked amusedly, "Are you coming here by yourself, or let me take medicine? Let me tell you first, if you take medicine, you won't be able to move, so I'll take the bath for you as well. Then..." Before Lance finished speaking, Severus at the door came in obediently, squatting on the edge of the basin consciously, bending over and bowing his head.

Lance smiled and shook his head, picked up the water and poured it on... Lance lathered slowly and washed it three times, which took an hour.Severus felt his neck ache, his feet numb, and his scalp washed off.

"If you wash your hair unconsciously next time, I'll wash it for you. If, Sev, you think it's better for me to come..."

Threatened, Severus silently decided to wash his hair diligently in the future, his face turned red on the ground, did Lance dislike him for not being clean?

"Don't you need my help to take a shower?" The door was quickly closed to answer Lance.Lance slammed his back, really exhausting her.Resigned to his fate, he packed up the house, depending on the situation, it will take a long time for Sev to take a shower.

"Let's go." Lance saw Severus come out with a pile of dirty clothes, drank the last sip of tea in his cup, and stood up and said. "Huh? Put the clothes in the basket over there, wash them for me later, and put on your shoes."

Severus walked out of Lance's house with Lance, and at first he wanted to ask where Lance was taking her, but soon he knew what it was.This is a desolate land, and the stone monuments erected one after another look desolate and depressing.This is a cemetery. The poor people in Spider's End Lane have no money to bury their dead relatives in a good cemetery. They can only find a place to bury them in this barren hill. Over time, countless simple graves have been erected here.

Lance stopped in front of the three tombstones. The two big ones were written with "Seth Soinaro" and "Ally Soinaro" respectively, and the small one in the middle had no name written on it.Next to the small stone tablet with no name written on it, there are unknown wildflowers, with small purple flower buds, which are different from the monotonous loess behind other tombstones, full of vitality.

Lance stepped forward and raised the small water bottle in his hand to water the wildflowers. Only then did Severus know why plants grew only in that place. It seemed that Lance often came here, but why did Lance ...Who is buried in that small stele...

"Lance, this is you..."

"Well, my parents died when I was eight years old." Lance said indifferently, without any trace of sadness, and fiddled with the weeds that looked tender since they were watered.

Severus remembered that it was then, the first time they spoke, that he knew she was his kind.Until then, Severus had seen her as nothing more than a strangely cute little girl.The first time I saw Lance was the first day their family moved in.She was dressed brightly, out of place in this dilapidated spider's end alley, and she still had a smile on her face.He remembered that he was still thinking sarcastically, wondering if she would still be able to laugh after living in this place for a long time.

Later, he saw her several times. The clothes she wore became more and more shabby, and she carried a wooden bucket to fetch water from the river. It could be seen that her life was getting worse and worse, but her smile never changed, obviously I don't know him, but every time I see him, I smile at him.Severus didn't know why, it's just that he never paid her any attention either.

Until that day, I heard that her parents died and she became an orphan living alone in the house at the end of Spider's End Lane.Severus was just curious at the time, would that little girl still laugh now?There is really nothing he can do in his life other than being beaten and picking up trash, and he can't help thinking this way when he is idle...

That day, he occasionally saw a few older kids in Spider's End alley going to trouble the little girl.For some reason, he clearly thought that it had nothing to do with him, but he followed her unconsciously, and then found out that she was a witch, and then, they became friends.Until now, every time he thinks of it, he will be glad, fortunately he followed...

Severus couldn't help but smile when he thought of this, he was lucky to meet Lance, what would his life be like if he hadn't met Lance?It would be nice to be with Lance like now, and to take care of her all the time.

"We're the same again, Sev." Lance, who was squatting there, raised his head and smiled and said, "Let's be relatives. At least for now."

"……it is good."
