[HP] Don't talk to me

Chapter 38 Growth

Snape stared in surprise at Tal Effah in front of him. Seeing that her face had turned from red during the quarrel to pale in an instant, she stared at her father in disbelief.

"What did you say?" She said in a very small voice, "Can you say it again?"

Ori Efa probably also felt that he had lost his composure just now, he is a man who does not show timidity in front of others.He smoothed his wrinkled robe, coughed lightly and said, "Tata, your mother died. I received the news the second year after we arrived in England from Finland, but you are too young, I don't plan to Tell you. Now that you're about to turn 16, I guess I'll tell you, it's okay."

"She's dead..." Ta Effa said to herself with a certain tone, "No wonder I always dream of her, so..."

Seeing that her daughter was no longer acting violently, Ori Efa stepped forward and pulled her again. Unexpectedly, Ta Efa quietly took out his magic wand and hid it in his cuff at some point. Seeing him approaching, he quickly raised it: "Talan Terra dance!"

Ori Efa groaned in pain, and then danced a strange dance with his teeth and claws.Ta Effa did not let him go, and immediately continued to cast the spell: "All petrified! Fuchsia! Bat-spirit curse! Flocks of birds! Thousands of bullets fired! Flames—"

Standing aside, Dumbledore took off his glasses and wiped them slowly.

On the other side, Snape has been carefully observing the movement. He has no good feelings for Ori Effa, and there is no need to rescue him.But when he heard Ta Efa yelling "blazing flames" and a tongue of flame rushed towards Ori Efa who was lying on the ground and was pecked by a group of birds, he still shot and blocked Ta Efa almost crazy and shouted at Ta Effa: "Divide by weapons!"

Ta Effa's wand bounced off the floor aside.Snape dispelled those terrible spell attacks on Ori Effah.

"Is this how you treat your father? Little bastard, are you really tired of your life!" Perhaps too embarrassed by the spell, Ori Effa finally started talking nonsense after getting up from the ground. "You are as good as that stinky bastard!"

"Mr. Effa, please pay attention, this is a school!" Snape reminded with a frown as he blocked Ori Effa who wanted to rush towards Ta Effa.

"Do you still know that this is a school? Mr. Snape? Principal Dumbledore, I suggest that you should immediately dismiss Mr. Snape from his teaching position! He hooked up with his own students and took them outside to open a room! God knows my daughter Or is she not a virgin? Who on earth is morally depraved despite being sanctimonious?" Ori Effa yelled loudly, reaching out to hit Snape, but Snape grabbed both his hands and couldn't move.

"Mr. Effa, let me just say this once - nothing happened between me and Tata, she, just, was, my, student!" Snape was trembling all over, and he was so angry that he roared .He felt extremely insulted, not against him, but against Ta Efa: a man questioning the innocence of his underage daughter in front of others?

Ori Effa gritted his teeth and looked at Snape, and Snape also stared at Ori Effa, neither of them wanting to make a difference.

"Enough! You, you, stay away from me!"

Sobbing, Tal Elfah picked up his wand from the ground and ran out of the principal's office, leaving behind two men who were at war with each other.

Hogwarts was more lively than ever today. The returning students were chatting and laughing, walking in twos and threes in the castle.The joyous atmosphere of the Christmas holiday has not faded away, and even Peeves doesn't make trouble anymore, just floating around the ceiling and humming.

Ori Effa is gone.

Although he was clamoring to sue Snape for touching his daughter, but when he heard Dumbledore talk about it, he simply went to the Ministry of Magic to use the Pensieve to look at everyone's memories. Seeing that Snape had no objection, he But flinched again.He asked Dumbledore to persuade Ta Effa not to apply for the protection of minors, but he would still pay her tuition and living expenses on time.

"Then can you stop bothering her, as she wishes?" Snape demanded.

Ori Effa still stared fiercely at Snape, and murmured, "What's an interruption? I'm her father, and I have the right to ask her to go home during the holidays. Is this an interruption? "

Snape said coldly: "If she doesn't want to, it's called interruption. Mr. Effa, I think you can understand what I mean."

"I understand? You mean to let you take her away during the holidays, just not to disturb? Not to disturb your plans, Snape! What else do you want to do to my daughter? You walked in together just now, I I just feel something is wrong. You are very clear about whether you have done anything dirty or not!" Ori Efa said, his voice raised again.

Snape gritted his teeth, "I've already said it, and I don't want to repeat what I just said."

"You are guilty, aren't you?" Ori Effa snorted coldly, "I can see that Tata treats you—don't forget your identity, taking advantage of others is extremely shameless! Mr. Snape, we They're all men, don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about, don't pretend that nothing is the same!"

Snape clenched his fists, almost wanting to throw away his wand, and hit Ori Effa on the head first with his bare hands.Dumbledore finally stepped forward, took Ori Effa out, and escorted him all the way to the school gate.

Snape came out of the headmaster's office, hesitated at the intersection, and finally chose to walk towards the dormitory building of Ravenclaw College.

Natasha and Ellie were coming out of the Ravenclaw dormitory. The two planned to visit Hogsmeade with half a day of free time left, but they were called out by a cold voice.

"Miss Fisk," Snape first greeted Natasha who was walking in front, "have you seen Tal Effah?"

Natasha shivered, and took two steps back to lean against Ellie.The two girls looked at each other, and then at the same time, they looked at Professor Snape who was dressed in black and looked very bad because of the quarrel with Ori Effa just now.

"No, Tata is not in the dormitory." Natasha swallowed and replied in a low voice.

"Then where will she go?" Snape frowned and asked softly.

"I don't know." The two girls responded at the same time. "really do not know."

Seeing that Snape turned around and left, the black robe flew away.

Ellie let out a long breath, winked at Natasha and said, "Oh my God, you came here to find someone just after school started? I feel more and more sympathetic to Tata, she's a free child laborer!"

"Actually, I'm suspecting another possibility..." Natasha approached Ellie's ear and whispered.

Snape didn't know that he was being gossiped by the two girls, and he wanted to find out where Tal Effah was as soon as possible, after all, she seemed to be in a bad mood when she rushed out of the headmaster's office.Countless possibilities flashed through Snape's mind, each of which was terrifying.

He went to the Astronomy Tower, went to the hall and several classrooms, and went around the outside of the castle, but there was no sign of Ta Efa.In the end, he had no choice but to turn back to the cellar resentfully, but unexpectedly, at the door of the potions classroom, he saw Ta Effa leaning against the wall silently.

He froze for a moment, and walked towards the girl who lowered her head and said nothing.The girl hid in the shadows, not moving.

"Tata..." He tried to call her. "So you came here and caused me to search all over the school."

Tal Effa remained motionless and did not seem to hear Snape's voice.

"Tata, what's the matter with you? Your father has already left." Snape moved closer and stood directly opposite the girl.

Ta Effa finally moved a little bit, and she slowly raised her head.In the dim light, Snape noticed two lines of tears on her cheeks.She was crying, that was inevitable, and Snape wasn't surprised.He frantically reached into his jacket pocket for a handkerchief and handed it to the girl.

"Don't let others see, wipe your tears quickly!"

Ta Effa shook his head, numbly, slowly.

Snape felt sorry for this girl, her family, her experience, and her tears now were not for nothing.

"Don't cry, silly girl." Snape raised his handkerchief a little, almost touching Tal Effah's cheek.Ta Effa resisted unexpectedly. She dodged to the side, took a step, and turned her head in the direction of the shadow not far away.

"Leave me alone, Professor," she said, in a sobbing voice that sounded especially heartbreaking.

"Tata..." Snape was momentarily at a loss for words, he felt something strange.It was completely different from the atmosphere of Ta Efa's trust in him when he returned to school just now, but after only a few hours, she seemed to have a little distance from him.

"I'm just your student, you don't need to always worry about me. There are so many students in Hogwarts, what right do I have to ask you to help me all the time?" Ta Effa's tone became colder and more alienated . "I've stood here for a long time, and I've thought about it for a long time. I won't bother you anymore in my spare time, Professor. I always come to you, and I will definitely cause you a lot of trouble. I... I know I You're not happy about pestering you."

Snape felt stunned, his whole body was suddenly cold from head to toe.A tremor struck, and his brain was overwhelmed by an inexplicable bewilderment.

"I don't think so." He whispered, "You are no trouble to me."

"No, professor. I've caused you too much trouble. You don't have to try to comfort me. My father is a lunatic. I watched you choke with him, and I was very scared. I don't care about myself. I dare to attack him today. I have long wanted to use the method to fight, because I don't... want to live too much." Ta Efa suddenly grinned and smiled silently. "But if you are hurt by him because of me, I will spend my whole life in pain. I thought I had the courage to take that step, but today I saw him arguing with you, and I decided to give up. I don't want to His waywardness made you also be targeted by him."

"What are you talking about?" Snape suddenly felt his chest was tight and he couldn't breathe.

"I mean—no, Professor, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Speak clearly, what are you going to do?"

Tal Effah turned around and wanted to leave, but Snape stretched out his hand to hold the wall, and the range of body movement was confined within his arm.

She looked up, looking into Snape's eyes. "Professor, I mean, I won't come to you alone again." She smiled again, this time, it was a grin.

"What if I want you to come to me?" Snape's breath became short of breath, and he felt very uncomfortable. A determined back flashed in his mind, the back that had appeared countless times in his dreams, for the first time in Such a true reproduction in reality.He was afraid of losing, he was that person back then, but now——

Ta Effa moved the corners of his lips, as if something was about to come out, but he didn't say it in the end.She shook her head, stretched out her hand and lightly took Snape's hand off the wall, then quickly withdrew it.

"Professor, I am your student. If you want me to come, I will come. But, I will not come to you, that's all." Ta Effa passed Snape, took a few steps, and Turn around at the top of the stairs and look back again.

Snape was still facing the wall, standing still.

"Professor, I still want to thank you. Happy new school year, see you in Potions class tomorrow." She clutched the strap of her satchel tightly, and walked away decisively, and finally didn't look at the man behind her again.
