[HP] Don't talk to me

Time seemed to stand still.

Snape could hardly believe his ears, and responded quickly, "Can you repeat that, please?"

"I mean," Ta Effa raised her voice, pointing at Snape and back at herself for clarification. "Professor Snape, you, go to the headmaster again and ask him to expel me."

Now that Snape heard clearly, he immediately asked the question anyone would ask immediately: "Why?"

Ta Efa grinned, her teeth were white and straight, and her smile was clean and beautiful, and it was extraordinarily brilliant.

"Because I don't want to read anymore."

It would not be surprising if this reason came from the mouths of those youthful and restless Hogwarts students in the sixth and seventh grades who had strange ideas.But the girl in front of her is just in the first grade, and the semester hasn't passed halfway yet.Most students in the same grade haven't even gone through Hogwarts Castle, and they often hear that people get lost.She said such a thing at this time, which had to surprise Snape.

"why?"

"Professor Snape, you seem to like to ask why." Ta Effa shook his head, "There is no reason, you just don't want to study, can't you?"

"Study weariness?" Snape thought about it again, and felt that it was not impossible.Although there are many students like him who have been looking forward to coming to Hogwarts since they were young, there are also some who start to cry when they get on the train, and some even jump over the train.

"Perhaps," Ta Effa said, "just consider me tired of studying, Professor. Anyway, you don't like me as a student very much, so it would be in your favor to expel me early, right? I I know you have already looked for the headmaster once. Go for it again, and maybe you will succeed."

Snape was even more surprised when he looked at the calm girl in front of him.

"why?"

The third question, Snape seldom asked such a question, but he couldn't help but continue to ask it.

"I originally wanted to ask other professors for help. As a result, I told Professor McGonagall about it. Not only did she not want to help me, she didn't go to the principal to sue me, and she tolerated me when I made trouble. Help me solve all my mistakes. She said that I just entered school and couldn’t get used to it. But Professor Flitwick saw me sleeping in class, instead of scolding me, he asked me to stay after class to make up lessons.” Ta Effa’s tone Full of grievances, she sighed, "The other professors are similar, alas. No one has the guts to go to the principal to sue me. They always think of me as someone who is about to become a good student, but I am not. "

Snape twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Only you, Professor Snape." Ta Effa raised his eyes and stared at Snape's mixed expression, and continued, "You really went to the headmaster to sue me last time, this is what I want of."

"...don't go."

There seemed to be a choke in his throat, Snape turned back to the podium and sat down, picked up a stack of homework that he hadn't corrected, and ignored the stunned girl in the distance.

"Why?" Ta Effa asked this time.

She rushed over, holding down the scroll that Snape was flipping through.

"Get out, Miss Alpha." Snape raised his eyes, his eyes were stern. "I'm going to work."

"If you don't promise me, I won't leave."

"Then you can stay here for as long as you want. As long as you don't get found out when you stay overnight, I don't care." Snape said, "You can stay here for a long time, and you can apply to the school." He After speaking, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.He knew that most students were afraid to avoid this cold and gloomy place, and no one would be willing to stay here for a long time.

"Okay, then I'll sit here until you agree." Ta Effa turned around, brought a student chair from the side, sat down beside Snape, and then continued to stare at him motionlessly .

When Snape entered the dining room, it was past the opening time.There were only two or three people at the staff table, Dumbledore was biting off a piece of creme brulee, Filch was talking to Mrs. Pince, and Sprout was the first to see Snape and beckoned him to eat today's pumpkin pie.

Snape was absent-minded during the meal, eating in a hurry.Immediately after eating he went back to the cellar.Pushing open the door and looking around, the seats next to the podium are empty and there is no one there.

It appears to be gone.Snape was relieved.When he went to eat, he saw Ta Efa still sitting with his mouth pouting, and he couldn't laugh or cry.He originally wanted to punish the little devil in front of him in the same way as an ordinary student, but he knew that she wanted what she wanted, and maybe she would make more and more trouble.His mind, filled with spells, potion formulas, and black magic clues, went numb, and for a moment he couldn't think of anything to do with her.

To be honest, he really doesn't have much experience with girls.When he was studying, except for that person, he basically didn't have a few words with any female classmates.After graduation, there were many chaotic gatherings among Death Eaters. He knew it well but never participated, just because he was mentally clean.In the past two years since he entered Hogwarts to teach, except for the female professors, he didn't communicate much with the female students in the classroom.

There is no class in the evening, and no one will come again.

Snape seemed to have solved the fiercest battle, and finally loosened his coat while packing his things with ease, put it on the back of a chair beside him, and undid the two buttons on the top of his shirt.

"What's in it?"

The voice behind him sent a chill down Snape's spine, and he shivered.

"This thing looks really disgusting." Ta Effa raised the transparent glass jar in his hand and walked out of the storage room. "Could it be polychaetes? I've seen similar ones in a book in the library, and it seems to be like this."

"You—" Snape took two steps back, grabbed his robe and tried to put it on.

Before it was too late, Ta Effa's sharp gaze had already cast over. "Professor," she said with a smile, "your shirt is very nice, if only it wasn't black."

"Why haven't you left yet?" Snape buttoned the robe upside down on his body in a panic, and had to take it off again, extremely embarrassed.

"Why are you nervous?" Ta Effa shrugged and said, "I'm only 11 years old, not a 21-year-old girl."

Just because he is only 11 years old, it is not normal to say these words in his mouth!Snape collected himself and said quickly, "Put the lacewing in your hand back into the storage room immediately."

Tal Effah stuck out his tongue, seeing that Snape was in a lot of embarrassment, he no longer forced himself, turned around and walked away with the glass jar in his arms.

Snape straightened his clothes, and when he saw Ta Effa coming out of the storage room empty-handed, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed her arm. "Come on, I'll take you back to the Ravenclaw lounge."

"I didn't say I was leaving!" Ta Effa said, "I just wandered around this room because I was so bored."

"Then what do you want?" Snape said coldly, "You want me to spell you out? There is a limit to everything, Miss Alpha, my patience with you is approaching the limit."

"I just want you to promise me, and then go to Headmaster Dumbledore." Ta Effa raised his head and stared at Snape blankly, without any fear. "Is this so difficult?"

"Why don't you just go to him yourself?"

"I've already had a face-to-face discussion with him about what happened in the confinement room last time, and he didn't agree! Even if he knew—something I wouldn't tell others at all, a very important thing, he still didn't agree. Agreed! I can't leave here until I get fired, I can't stand it!" Ta Effa said, "Dumbledore is a big villain! He doesn't show emotion at all!"

Snape was a little surprised, he saw that Ta Effa's expression of a playful smile suddenly changed, and two lines of hot tears rolled down her cheeks.

"You go to him, but he doesn't agree. Could it be that if I go to him again, he will agree?" Snape couldn't see the girl cry, it would remind him of some deep pain in his memory.He turned his head away, and his tone was a little comforting. "You think too much of me."

"I do not care."

"what?"

"I don't care, I'm going to try, try any method." Ta Effa unexpectedly hugged Snape's hand holding her arm, and hugged her tightly.

Snape felt a surge of warmth in the girl's thin hand, and the restrained posture looked stubborn and serious.He was silent for a moment, and said, "I can help you if you want, but - you can't do anything that violates the school rules. You know that even if that happens, Dumbledore won't expel you."

"Are you willing to help me?" After all, it was a little girl, Ta Effa wiped away tears, and immediately turned from worry to joy, "You said that Dumbledore disagreed, so what should we do?"

"This is a big problem." Snape deliberately paused, glanced at the girl's eager expression, and said slowly, "I can only say that I can help you if you want. But I have a condition——"

"What conditions?"

"If you can get the first overall score in Ravenclaw College in the final test of this semester, then I will use all methods to help you."

It was only a month before the final exam, and due to the recent nonsense, Ta Effa's grades in Ravenclaw College fell from the top few to the middle.Maybe if you work hard, you will be able to rank in the forefront at the end of the term, but it is hard to say how much you will succeed if you get No.1.

Snape had to admit to himself that he set up this goal to make the girl quit.Seeing Ta Effa's tears, he realized that Dumbledore's words made sense.It is cowardly and harsh to expel a student at random, regardless of whether he or she has made a mistake.

He has made many mistakes, but this one must not be included.

The classroom was silent for a long time, Ta Efa frowned, as if he had been thinking.Finally, she let go of Snape's arm and said in a firm tone, "Okay, then I'll try!"
