Harry Potter: Impossibly Cute

"Ling Bai, do you like me?"

Ling Bai was stunned for a moment, then quickly put on a well-behaved smile.

"Of course, why else would I be with you?"

Snape stared at Ling Bai closely, as if trying to see from the expression on his face whether he was lying.

But unfortunately, there was no way the little fox could let him see the flaw.

"Professor, did anyone tell you something? Who was that person?"

"What do you like about me? I'm old-fashioned and boring, with a cold personality. No one wants to get close to me. Since I was a child, they called me a freak. After I entered Hogwarts, I was bullied by James Potter and others."

Before Snape could finish his words, Ling Bai stepped forward and covered his lips.

"Don't say that, Professor, don't say that"

Ling Bai's voice was choked and he seemed very sad.

Why be sad.

This was Snape's thought at the time.

Ling Bai nudged in Snape's arms like a little kitten trying to make its owner happy.

“That’s not the kind of person I think a professor is.”

Snape gently took away Ling Bai's hand that was covering his lips.

“Do you want to hear my evaluation of you?”

Snape nodded seriously.

Ling Bai stared into Snape's eyes seriously.

"In my mind, you are a person on the edge of contradiction, a person who is abandoned by love but sticks to his promise, a hero who surrounds his heart with indifference."

“Why do you think so?”

“I never judge a person by his appearance. I saw a beautiful soul underneath the professor’s seemingly zombie-like body.

What is the professor's patronus? A female deer, so beautiful and silvery-white like moonlight, holding her head high elegantly. Such a gentle and beautiful patronus, how could a professor with such a patronus be as unbearable as you say?"

Snape felt as if his heart was burned.

"Do you really think so? You are not kidding me."

"Of course not. Do you think I am lying to you? I have been lying to you since the beginning of the school year and have been lying to you until now. I am really persistent."

Snape was suddenly amused.

Ling Bai's head was pressed against Snape's shoulder.

"Professor, I know you are not a brave person. You have been hiding in your shell for too long. So, will you allow me to pull you out of your shell?"

Snape's hand tightly grasped Ling Bai's palm, wrapping his small hand in his big palm.

"it is good"

"So now professor can you tell me who said something that upset you"

Snape was silent again, and Ling Bai thought about it seriously.

"Excluding everyone else, there are only two people who would say something like this to you. One is Tom and the other is Gellert. Gellert was teaching us last class, so it's only Tom."

Ling Bai noticed that Snape's body stiffened for a moment.

“Did I guess right?”

Snape hesitated, then nodded.

"If it's really him, I'm going to give him some trouble."

"If you leave one day, will you take one of us with you?"

Ling Bai was silent. The room suddenly became quiet, and Snape's heart grew colder.

"It doesn't matter. What I'm best at is waiting. I'll keep waiting."

Snape's words made Ling Bai feel a little sad.

"sorry"

Ling Bai's voice was a little hoarse, and it seemed like he was having a hard time saying these three words.

I'm sorry for provoking you for no reason because of my love. What's the difference between giving you hope without being able to make promises and pulling you out of an abyss and then pushing you into another abyss?

Ling Bai felt a rare sense of guilt.

"It's okay, I'm ready."

In order to comfort Snape, Ling Bai spent the rest of the morning with him.

Even lunch was prepared by Snape.

Tom and Garlot searched for the whole morning but couldn't find anyone. They had already guessed where Ling Bai was.

So Ling Bai was stopped by two people just after he finished his first class in the afternoon.

"What to do"

Ling Bai's tone was not very good, and it sounded like he was in a bad mood.

"Who pissed you off again?"

Gellert, unaware of the situation, laughed and joked.

When Tom met Ling Bai's gaze, he felt a little guilty, which was rare.

As the second generation Dark Lord, when had he ever had such a guilty feeling? But since he fell into the hands of this little guy, this feeling became more and more frequent.

"Tom, don't you have anything to say to me?"

"I……"

Gellert obviously sensed something was wrong as well, and he looked back and forth between the two men.

Then he burst into laughter, very mercilessly.

"It seems like you have done something wrong, but what could have made the little darling so angry?"

“It’s none of your business”

"Okay, okay, I don't want to get involved in this mess. Since my little darling is angry with him, why don't you just come with me?"

Ling Bai shook his head.

"I have a class to finish later, and I have other things to do."

Garlot uttered a sigh.

"Baby, you are really partial. Which of your little boyfriends are you going to date again?"

Ling Bai ignored the two people and walked towards another classroom.

Watching Ling Bai leave, Gellert looked at Tom.

"What did you do to make him so angry?"

“Nothing done”

Tom was obviously in a very bad mood.

"Come on, who would believe you? According to your personality, you would not embarrass the younger generation. The only one left is Snape."

Tom was silent, and his silence apparently made Gellert feel that his guess was right.

"You provoked someone, and they got angry. As a result, they sued you, and you were the one who suffered in the end. You lost both the wife and the army."

"To shut up"

Tom, who was furious, was like a wolf whose tail was stepped on. He bared his teeth at the person in front of him and turned away.

Gellert chuckled.

"How childish! I would never do such a thing."

After saying that, he left humming a little tune, and then went to complain to his friends.

Dumbledore, who was leisurely enjoying afternoon tea in his lounge, was unaware of the coming danger.

At this moment, she was happily making tea until the door opened and Gellert walked in with a devilish smile.

After Ling Bai finished class, he went straight to Snape's office.

Snape was still teaching the first-year students. Ling Bai was sitting on the recliner specially prepared for him, eating the snacks on the table.

As I waited, I began to feel sleepy.

Ling Bai yawned and slowly closed his eyes.

When Snape came back, he saw the little figure curled up on the couch.

The corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and he took out a small blanket and covered the person on the recliner with it.

Looking at that sleeping face, Snape's thoughts gradually drifted away.
