[HP] Don't talk to me

Chapter 43 Struggling

According to the usual practice, on the first day of Hogwarts, all the faculty and staff will get together and go to the Three Broomsticks bar in Hogsmeade for a drink after the work of welcoming new students is over.

Snape walked at the back of the crowd, watching Dumbledore and Taefa walking side by side in front, and several professors surrounded them talking and laughing.

He was immersed in extreme shock and had no intention of blending into the group at all. He pursed his lips and followed slowly with a pale face.On the outskirts of Hogsmeade in September, the large bushes between the houses exuded a natural fragrance, but Snape was breathing deeply and even choked.

Taefa met his own brisk eye for a second before turning around in the hall to introduce himself to the students.From her gaze, he didn't see any meaning of explanation.And he felt that she really needed an explanation.

They walked to the door of the Three Broomsticks, and Dumbledore stepped in first, followed by McGonagall, Flitwick, Sprout and others.Taefa waited for everyone to walk in, then turned to look at Snape, who was standing by the side of the road, staring at her sullenly.

"Let's go." She whispered, not because of nervousness or restraint, but to hide her joy.

Ever since she heard that Hogwarts was sending a professor of Muggle studies, for nearly a year, she had been secretly preparing for returning to school to work after graduation.She spent a lot of effort, went to the library for self-study, and read quietly all the time. She was so stressed that she often sat up in the middle of the night and hid in the corner under the quilt to secretly wipe her tears.

But she succeeded in the end. When Dumbledore found out that he was interviewing a student who had just graduated, he could see his shock, but her professional knowledge was so rich that the old headmaster couldn't doubt whether she was competent, and she Her personal conditions are so excellent, there is really no reason not to hire her.

She couldn't tolerate her own failure, because she was afraid that once she left, she would never be able to return to the place where she could see him.

She was sure that she liked him, the Head of Slytherin at Hogwarts, and a man named Severus Snape.

There's nothing strange about a woman falling in love with a man.

Although she was a late bloomer, she was no longer a child who knew nothing.Starting from hiding under the covers and reading the magazines Natasha and Alise gave her, coupled with the natural laws of adolescence and the influence of people around her, she already knows what she wants in her heart.However, she has been secretly hiding it, not daring to reveal it in a hurry.Because she was afraid that if she was too reckless, she would end up in an embarrassing situation.

Mainly, she was not sure about the other party's intentions.

She felt as if she knew Snape very well, but very little.His life trajectory is very simple, and the bottom can be seen almost at a glance, and in his private life, she carefully observes, and can confirm that there is no trace of any woman.

But at the same time, she always felt that he was closed, like a black wall, strong and solid, and there was no door for people to walk in.

She is a bold and straightforward person, but this is the first time she has been troubled by this matter and dare not speak up.After all, there is still a teacher-student relationship between them. If she puts him in an embarrassing situation because of her expression, she will feel ashamed.

Therefore, the only way is probably to change the relationship between the two.

From a teacher to a student, to a colleague—from then on, even if she pursued passionately, who would dare to say anything?

Snape stood where he was, with some complicated emotions in his heart that had no place to vent.He looked at Taefa, the girl had bright eyes and a smile on her face.But this smile made him a little angry.

She must have made up her mind to come back to teach, but when he asked her about her future plans, she was unwilling to tell herself in advance!

They stood there in silence for a few seconds.Until Taefa suddenly hesitated and stretched out his hand, gently pinching the corner of Snape's clothes. "Sorry, Severus, I didn't tell you about my return."

Severus - Snape froze, she had called him that at the prom a few months ago.At that time, he didn't react, and she left in a hurry, so unrestrained that he didn't give him room to think carefully.Now she called him that again, calling him by his Christian name naturally and affectionately, and his heart suddenly tightened.

His memory was instantly awakened. A few years ago, there was also a girl who called his name like this.It's just that the girl has thick red hair, as if she is always going to burn a fire in his heart...

He took two steps back, letting Taefa's hand holding the hem of his clothes come off and hang in the air.

"Then go in, Professor Efa." He restrained the trembling in his voice, tried his best to cover up the panic on his face, turned around and walked into the bar as if fleeing first.

This time, Taefa was taken aback.She stared at her hand that was still hanging in mid-air, her face was smeared pale.

In the private room of the bar, several professors have already taken their seats, chatting and joking with each other.After Snape entered, she sat on the empty seat next to Dumbledore, and Taefa came in after a while. Instead of sitting on the empty seat beside Snape, she walked a few steps further, Sitting next to Professor Trelawney.She stared straight ahead blankly, and did not communicate with others except for greetings.Snape, on the other hand, kept his head down, as if the tablecloth with a lot of tea grease stains in front of him looked so good, he almost stuck his eyes on it.

The people in the room didn't notice the subtle change in the atmosphere between these two people. When Dumbledore proposed to raise a glass together to celebrate the arrival of the new term, Snape raised his glass and took the opportunity to look towards the place where Taefa was sitting. After taking the first glance and this glance, he was a little surprised to find that the girl was also staring at him, but her eyes were full of grievance and loss.

He secretly clenched the cup tightly, but he didn't have any thoughts in his mind, only feeling that it was very messy.

"Tata, I didn't expect you to come back. This really surprised us." Professor Sprout put his arms around Taefa's shoulders, and smiled affectionately at the student he liked quite a bit.She has become her colleague from a student. She is so young, but it is really not easy.

"Thank you, Professor Sprout." Taefa nodded and forced a smile.They took their seats, and she lowered her head again.

She doesn't want to think about anything now, she is very angry, but feels that she has nothing to vent.Snape ignored her almost the whole night, not even looking at her!It wasn't until the toast just now that he quickly and perfunctorily looked at her for a second.In his eyes, she couldn't see a trace of joy or even welcome about her return, only countless dodges, dodges, or dodges!

What is she coming back for?Was it to win his dislike?

Or, she should really go back to Finland, having spent her entire senior season preparing for job interviews and planning to visit her hometown was cancelled.

She began to hesitate, not knowing whether what she did was right or wrong.

A group of people came out of the Three Broomsticks and walked along the road to Hogwarts.

Taefa was the last one, and when the others had left, he raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky.

It was late at night, and the sky was dyed in black, occasionally a few stars hung alone in the corner, shining dimly.

Without a shining star, she can feel more or less at ease.

She wanted to run away in frustration, the people in front had gradually disappeared into black dots until they were submerged in the night.The voice of the conversation was also broken, as if a thread was broken in two.Only the entrance of the bar still revealed the hustle and bustle inside, but she felt that it had nothing to do with her.

She had only one cocktail tonight, and it tasted nothing special.If I had known that she would be so upset, it would be more refreshing to drink a few more glasses of wine to get myself drunk.However, she has her first class tomorrow morning. Although she has made preparations, she is still a little uneasy.

"Let's go?" A man's voice came from behind.

She turned her head and found that Snape did not leave with the crowd, but was standing behind her.

She thought he had already left with Dumbledore and Flitwick.When she walked out of the bar, she clearly saw Dumbledore say a few words to him, and he nodded.So - he didn't actually leave with the others, but chose to stay and observe her?

Is it to observe how lost her soul is?

Does he understand?Does he understand?He should be very, very clear—

Taefa felt oppressed, feeling as if a volcano was hiding and was about to erupt. She took a deep breath.

Snape had been watching Taefa since he left the bar, yes, he had been watching.As a man, he has a normal intuition, but he has been deliberately ignoring it, and rarely thinks about it.But Taefa felt too strongly for him to think about it.

But he thinks it shouldn't be.

But he was thinking, maybe he was thinking too much, he was too pretentious——

Before he had time to speak to her again, he suddenly felt the figure in front of him move violently.A pair of slender hands stretched from his armpits to his back, and the palms tightly grasped his robe, almost tearing it.And his chest was pressed by a head with a faint fragrance. They were different in height, so his waist carried the power from her chest shape, a kind of strength that seemed to melt herself into his arms strength.

"I like you, Severus! I came back for you, did you hear? Taefa, for Severus Snape, back to Hogwarts. Without you, I would have left long ago England. It's because you're here that I call this home my home. I like you, I like you!"

Taefa babbled softly, with occasional hints of crying.She seemed very excited, trembling all over her side as she talked.She seemed very serious again, speaking every word clearly, and the mouth that was pressed against his chest kept opening and closing towards the inside of the chest cavity.

Snape was cold all over, he raised his hands slightly, hanging on Taefa's shoulders, he didn't hold her in his arms and hugged her domineeringly at the same time as Taefa imagined.He was a little at a loss, apart from remembering to stand still, he had already lost the ability to think in an instant.

In the Three Broomsticks bar not far away, someone seemed to have won a card game. Cheers erupted from the crowd, and they went straight to the side of the road through the window sill. Accompanied by the sound of insects in the grass, the night became darker. .
