[HP] Don't talk to me

Snape felt that Tal Effah seemed a little strange these days.

When she was in Potions class, her eyes would suddenly look far away, and she would not be able to regain her senses until he couldn't bear it and walked to the side.Moreover, she will not confront him in class as before, standing up and debating material issues.She just lowered her head, didn't even look at him, and sat in her seat all day without saying a word.

He has been very busy these days. Recently, he read about the preparation method of Wolf Potion in an ancient potion book, which inspired his thinking. He plans to try to make this difficult potion himself. If he succeeds , the sense of accomplishment will be unparalleled.

And at this time, he suddenly realized that he had unknowingly allowed Ta Efa to get too involved in his life.

He was originally a person who did everything by himself, but his family unfortunately cultivated his independence.But in the past few years, there was an inexplicably added little assistant who pestered him all day long to ask for things to do, and he also gave her many things to do for her.Cleaning up potion ingredients, cleaning storage rooms, cleaning crucibles and test tubes, sorting out students' homework... He was used to just waving his hand, and Ta Effa would come over earnestly and anxiously to ask him what's the matter.When he was doing experiments in the cellar, he had already regarded the movement when listening to Ta Efa tossing as a normal state.

But in the past few days, although Ta Efa would go to the cellar to help at the agreed time, he didn't approach him, and left quickly after completing the task.The way she looked at him made him feel as if there was a long distance between them and they were no longer close.

When Tal Effah continued to remain silent in the cellar again, making no more noise than a cauldron, Snape couldn't sit still any longer.Even if the research and development of the wolf elixir reached the most critical moment, he still had to ask the reason for Ta Efa's abnormal behavior.

"Tata, haven't you been feeling well lately?" Snape asked in as calm a tone as possible.

Tal Effa turned his head in surprise, and finally exchanged a glance with Snape, but Snape then lowered his head even more puzzled. Pu could also notice that her face was a little red.

Ta Effa sighed, shook his head, and continued to stir the cauldron in front of him with a spoon.

"If you don't feel well, tell me about the symptoms. The potions I have here are so precious that the medical wing can't match them."

"No discomfort, Professor."

"No?" Snape narrowed his eyes.He felt that Ta Effa was 100% lying.There must be something wrong with her, it's just that he can't grasp the clue at once.

"Maybe, I should get a bottle of Veritaserum," he threatened.

Sure enough, after hearing the word Veritaserum, Ta Effa changed a hesitant expression, and then shook his head pitifully. "No...professor, please."

"Then tell the truth."

"I...I..." Ta Effa blushed even more, and lowered her head.She sat before the cauldron, wringing her fingers. "I had a dream."

"What dream?"

"It's just a dream..."

"What content?"

"A man...a woman...they..." For some reason, Ta Effa, who used to know everything about Snape, hesitated at the moment.She stole a glance at Snape, and when he frowned and stared at her fiercely, she became even more flustered.How could she tell what she had done in her dream?Hey, a man and a woman, anyway, I can't tell which man and which woman it is...

"A man and a woman?" Snape grasped the key words, and immediately tensed up.He is not an idiot who doesn't understand anything. Although he has seen that he has not had a real relationship at the age of 24 or [-], he also knows that at the age of [-] or [-], a girl dreams of a man and a woman together, which is definitely not true. what a simple matter.

"What did you do?" He asked immediately, his voice rising unconsciously.

Ta Effa's face was flushed red like a fire in a fireplace, exuding scorching heat.

"I, I can't remember. Anyway, I just dreamed of a man and a woman. It's weird."

How could Snape believe Ta Effa's childish and clumsy lies? He was about to grab Ta Effa and use Legilimency, but he didn't pay attention when he saw the girl in front of him jumping up from the chair, He rushed out of the room with one stride.

"I'm leaving first, goodbye, professor!" The girl's voice drifted away and disappeared quickly.

Snape didn't go after him, just looked at the door that was being pushed open and was swinging back and forth, and clenched his fists.

Ta Effa rushed into the common room of the Ravenclaw house dormitory almost at the speed of a [-]-meter race.Along the way, instead of turning red, her face became hotter and hotter.There was only one word in her mind: idiot!

Why did she honestly mention her dreaming?Such a shameful dream, she didn't want Professor Snape to know at all!Moreover, comparing the stern-faced Snape in reality with the Snape in the dream, they are simply not the same person. Does she have a brain?What is she thinking?How could he suddenly blush while looking at the real Snape in front of him!

Her mind seemed to be covered with a layer of paste now, dripping wet and confused.In the public lounge, Natasha and Ellie were sitting on the sofa, flipping through a magazine, and the two of them were whispering and laughing happily.When they saw Ta Efa with a strange expression on his face, they immediately smelled an extraordinary aura.

"What's the matter, Tata, shouldn't you be in the cellar?" Ellie took the first step, grabbed Ta Effa who was trying to hide in the dormitory room with her head down, and pulled her to sit on the sofa. "What happened again?"

Ta Effa gritted his teeth, tried to calm down, and said softly, "No."

"Don't pretend, you look like this, you can see it—" Ellie and Natasha exchanged a knowing look, and then giggled together.

"Did Andrew look for you?" Natasha rubbed Ta Effa's shoulder, lowered her head and whispered in her ear, "A date?"

what?

Ta Effa was bewildered.Dating?and Andrew?

Ellie handed the magazine that the two of them were reading just now to Ta Effa, and then turned to Natasha and said, "You also bring the stocks we looked at earlier and show Tata. You know how to run to the cellar at night, you don't even know these things, if those poisonous scorpions in Slytherin find out, you must laugh at our Ravenclaw girls!"

Ta Effa blinked and saw the name of the magazine in his hand: "Wizards in Love: One Hundred Ways of Handling Techniques".

Before she started flipping through it, Natasha had conjured up a bunch of magazines and books out of nowhere, such as "Vela Weekly", "Complete Flirting Magic Spells", "Dating: What You Should Wear", "Peach Heart Girl's Guide to Love" and stuffed it all into her arms.

"Lend it to you, study it slowly, don't rush to return it!" Ellie and Natasha looked at her at the same time, and said in unison, with weird smiles.

That night, Ta Efa hid under the blanket, squinted his eyes and opened the first magazine at hand...
