Blessing Potion [Comprehensive British and American]

"Ah, a port city. A deep-water port." Cyril pushed the baby carriage and looked at the bottomless seawater beside the seawall and sighed.

"Yes, the port. There is no beach." Severus put one hand in his trouser pocket, looked at the dark blue sea and the distant sky, and observed this rarely populated place in a good mood.

A large cruise ship sailed past with a "woo----", and the silver-edged waves "hua-hua-" slapped on the black reef by the port.

"Pfft, then why didn't you stop me when I said to bring a swimsuit. I also brought a toy steamboat for the little ones..." Cyril parked the retro baby stroller at hand, and remembered something I laughed first.

"Swimming doesn't conflict with this outing. Just because you can't swim in Marseille's seaside doesn't mean you can't swim elsewhere. And... I thought you'd like the seafood here..."

Severus frowned, and he couldn't be blamed for being narrow-minded. During the family dinner last time, "Saint Laurent", the big-tailed wolf from France, who would be his "brother-in-law" in the future, came to Cyril I muttered to him recommending French attractions and delicacies, showing off my sexy French nasal voice (Roland denied the triple, I didn't show off, I only have Lin Xiao in my heart, I just sent "four" out of concern for my family !), showing off French cuisine, which made Severus, who is a daily "vinegar barrel", a little concerned.

……

————“When you go to Marseille, you must eat Provence fish soup (Bouillabaisse). It’s very special and has a strong taste. My family likes it very much. Well...it’s different from Bai Zhi’s grandmother’s fish soup...it’s not so thin, The soup should be much thicker, rich in texture, with mayonnaise, and you can dip the bread and sprinkle chili powder..."

On the surface, Severus was as usual, he helped Cyril cut the beef, grimaced coldly in his heart and rolled his eyes, and imitated Saint Laurent's accent strangely: Grass carp slices?butter? ?Garlic and mayonnaise? ? ?The taste is very strange, and Cyril will never like it, even if Cyril has one-eighth of French mixed blood.And he just needs to bring Cyril here, taste it, and stop this curious greedy fox idea...

———— "...you can find a local tour guide, the local Muggle students will have part-time jobs in this area during the summer, you can find out..." Saint Laurent was still chattering.

Severus casually took off the napkin and put it on his lap, took a small spoonful of chicken soup stewed by Grandma Angelica, made a bend in mid-air, skipped Noah's mouth, and fed it directly to his eldest son. He really didn't like soup Living up to expectations, little Egger pursed her lips and stuck out her little tongue, and sprayed the soup with flecks of oil on her daddy Sif's silk shirt.

——— "You have to deal with your shirt quickly, Severus, silk ones are not easy to take care of, and it's not good to use magic spells all the time." Lin Jiu suggested pertinently.

Cyril glanced back quickly, and could only smile regretfully at Roland, then turned around and took her husband upstairs to change clothes with her wand.

Severus felt so ironed in his heart, he didn't forget to refute in his heart, huh, tour guide? ———No, no need.

……

Cyril looked around. Marseille is located on the other side of the Mediterranean Sea. The scenery here is beautiful and the climate is pleasant. The city is surrounded by limestone hills on three sides, giving people a sense of openness and peace of mind.Suitable for living, vacationing and playing.

"What kind of shell is that? On the reef? Can it be eaten?" Cyril pointed to the shellfish growing close to the rock on the side of the large black reef near the sea.

"Oysters and mussels or... Muggles call them mussels. You'll see them at the dinner table tonight." Severus stared down Cyril's fingers, raising an eyebrow in a habitual fake laugh.

"I thought you weren't interested in these little knowledge..." Xi Ruier imitated Xi Fu meaningfully and raised his eyebrows, and suddenly remembered the French self-help travel guide that my husband had placed on the bedside table two days ago——Chinese version, Xi Rui Er suspected that it was given by his mother Lin Jiu, and found it very interesting for a while.This is the unsmiling Severus... Who would have thought that one day he would secretly study travel guides?

Cyril pushed the stroller and walked two steps forward, then turned around and asked, "Where do we live at night?"

"I contacted a friend, and the luggage has already been delivered." Severus glanced at the pocket watch in his jacket pocket and replied calmly.

Cyril nodded understandingly, "So live with him?"

Severus glanced at him, neither saying yes nor no.Taking the baby stroller from Cyril's hand, "Don't you want to take pictures? There are few people now."

"The scenery is really nice... I just took some photos and sent them to Old Deng and John..." Cyril fiddled with the camera hanging around his neck——one of this year's Christmas gifts, facing the sea, blue sky and rocks The seagulls who rested for a while paused to take a picture and pressed the shutter, and ran farther and farther.

Severus took out the sunglasses he had bought in Italy from his jacket pocket, and pushed the trolley far behind. The two little ones in the stroller were asleep again. Pushing steadily along the coast, accompanied by the sound of regular waves and occasional seagulls flying over and singing, constitute a wonderful sleeping environment for the little foxes.

Cyril wears the same style of sunglasses as Severus on the bridge of his nose, and has a camera hanging around his neck. He is slender, wearing white cropped jeans and a gray T-shirt, and a straw hat with a narrow brim on his head. It's like a college student who comes out for a summer vacation.

——— "Ha! You put that boat right on top of me!"

———— "Never mind honey, it just looks like you have a lot of hair, maybe it looks like a fancy hat~~"

——"Nancy's right, look! Send this to Alex, and he'll probably remember you right away!"

——— "Hahahaha! Get away from me, you crazy girl~ You're going to squeeze me down!"

Several blond female students wearing striped short skirts and denim shorts were standing on the edge of a large rock and taking pictures, chattering and laughing with photos that could be printed on site, one of them was holding a Polaroid camera The short-haired girl poked the other girl in the long-haired off-the-shoulder suspender dress, pouted her mouth in the direction of Cyril, and blinked again.

"Handsome guy~~ high quality..." the short-haired girl whispered to her companion in French.

The laughing voice stopped for a while, and the long-haired girl turned around when she heard the words, and she saw a tall and handsome guy holding a camera to take pictures of the cruise ship.Under the light-colored straw hat is a delicate side face half covered by sunglasses. The bridge of the nose is straight and the chin is perfectly proportioned. The short hair on the side of the face is curly dark brown, reflecting the luster of silk in the sun. Adding mysterious charm to his quiet temperament, his neck is slender, his back and legs are straight, the skin exposed is healthy milk white, his standing posture is elegant, and his clothes are also very good...

It is enough to show that the family is rich and personable...

Gudong.It's really high quality...

"Julie, go up and say hello. He looks much more handsome than Alex from the school team!" Another girl also smiled and began to push and push the little friend wearing a suspender skirt.

"Wait—hey! Don't push me, you crazy girl!"

Julie was a little embarrassed by being pushed by her friend, her apple skin was red, but her friend had already helped her.

"Hi! Handsome guy! Can I trouble you to take a group photo for us?~~" The short-haired girl waved loudly.

"Yeah, handsome guy, can you help me?"

Cyril put down the camera that was held horizontally in his hand. He seemed to have captured a seagull that was gliding just now, and it was perfect for a postcard.A call not far away finally caught his attention.The white fox boy looked around, it was empty and sparsely populated, and this group of glamorous French Muggle girls seemed to be calling him.

"Yes—it's you! Can I help you?" The short-haired girl smiled brightly.

Cyril looked back at his partner who was pushing a baby stroller some distance away from him, and asked back in English, "What can I do for you, ma'am?"

———— "Wow, the British. You listen to his aristocratic accent~~The voice is not bad~~"

———— "Huh? The British. Julie, doesn't your dad like the British?"

———"It doesn't look like a British person, it's a bit like an oriental..."

——— "This accent sounds much better than the teaching assistant in the Faculty of Arts!"

——— "Julie, go teach him how to use a camera!"

Julie was pushed forward two steps, her face was completely red, she tried her best to suppress the little joy in her heart, touched the curly hair on her shoulder, and cleared her throat.

"Nancy, is my hairstyle okay? Are the shoulder straps showing?" the girl asked in a low voice, holding her voice and not looking sideways.

"Renmei has big breasts, go for it!" Nancy snickered behind her.

"Quick! Give me the camera!" Julie stretched out her hand and tried to gesture behind her.

"Hello? Can you take a photo for us?" Julie gestured in English——thanks to the elementary school for consulting parents. My mother took English courses in addition to learning German. At least the daily communication was acceptable. . [Note] "Of course, my pleasure." Cyril took the camera with a calm face.

——— "Teach him how to use it!" Nancy whispered in French from behind.

Julie took the opportunity to move closer to Cyril, pressed against his arm, and began to press the keys.However, Polaroid does not have any buttons, so after two sentences, Julie has nothing to say.

Cyril swayed to one side indiscriminately. The strawberry-sweet perfume on this little girl was too strong. Holding the little fox for a while would definitely lead to protests.He didn't want to see his two little ones sneezing in turn.

Julie secretly raised her eyes to look at the big boy beside her. The boy took off her sunglasses, revealing beautiful gray-green eyes. Her exquisite facial features were compelling, and she looked handsome and elegant as she looked at the camera seriously with her downcast eyes, as if her hands were not plastic shells. Instead of a toy camera from the Louvre, Julie felt her heart beating like thunder and it was difficult to breathe.

"So just press this button, and you can see it from the small window, right?" Cyril confirmed it politely, the English pronunciation that was personally slapped by Professor Snape made people get goosebumps.

In Cyril's eyes, this long-haired girl is no different from the students he teaches at school, they are all children—although Cyril himself often forgets that he is also quite young.

Julie heard herself reply dryly, "Yes, thank you."

"You're welcome. Please pose with your partner... The photo is a one-off, and I will try to succeed once." Cyril observed the pink Polaroid camera in his hand like a toy with great interest.

"It's okay to take a few more photos... We have enough photo paper..." Julie looked at Cyril's eyebrows and eyes obsessively, and replied in a faint voice.

There was a pause in the movements of Cyril's hand, and a cloud happened to pass by, and the sun's rays hit Cyril's fair and slender fingers directly, and the ring on the ring finger instantly reflected a stunning light.It hurt Julie's eyes.

ring? ? ?wedding ring? ? ? ! ! !

Julie stared at the ring on Cyril's right ring finger and didn't move.The only thing left in my head was the sound of waves hitting the seawall.

"Then...thank you..." With a huge sense of loss, Julie walked back to her companion in a nonchalant manner.Nancy and another friend pressed on the reef and posed for a photo.The smile is a bit forced.

With a vague smile on the corner of Cyril's mouth, he raised the camera with a pink Bling——Bling sticker, and pressed the shutter.

Nancy and the others were far away, and didn't notice any rings, nor did they pay attention to the stiff face of their friends, and they whispered suggestions in Julie's ear: "Tell him to take two more photos, ask him if he is here to play, if you want No French-speaking guide... do you want a companion..."

———— "Handsome guy! Two more photos! Thank you~~" The girl in denim shorts and cropped navel made a 3 gesture.Cyril nodded and replied OK.

"Uh, why don't you forget it..." Julie felt a sense of embarrassment that she couldn't rest her hands and feet. She wondered if her best friend had discovered the wedding ring. Ever since she saw that ring...

What gem is that?I've never seen it before... I guess it's very expensive... She actually doesn't like men wearing gorgeous jewelry, she will be like... a short-legged nobleman in the 17th century wearing white tights, high-heeled leather shoes, and a wig with a drooping face the sense of sight.But when she saw the already quite gorgeous ring on Cyril's finger (the gem's color and brightness are astonishing), she didn't feel that it was inconsistent and tacky at all, but it was pleasing to the eye and noble.

Julie felt that the light reflected by the ring was shining brightly, piercing her eyes from any angle, flaunting her presence in the sun.

"You can't give up just because of the British! If you are an aristocrat, a member of the royal family or something—it looks very temperamental, be confident! I have Thomas, and you can work harder!" Nancy praised Said with a dreamy face, and by the way, matched with everyone's changing poses, and smiled with dazzling white teeth.

Severus pushed the stroller and stopped at the corner, which happened to be the blind spot of a group of people. Even though he was very upset that Cyril took a picture of a Muggle—a Muggle who was scantily dressed, behaved indiscreetly, and showed off, but Adhering to the basic etiquette, I still stood silently, waiting for my partner to finish shooting and leave here.

The conservative Comrade Severus regretted it a bit. He shouldn't have set up the first stop of the excursion at the seaside, even though it's not like Brighton's seaside, it's covered with cloth (Cyril: it's a bikini!) An inappropriate Muggle wearing a bath towel, he specifically chose a port city where he could only take a boat, but ignored the fact that Muggles still dress with good taste even when they are not on the beach.

Even if he was unhappy, he still had to maintain a basic demeanor. Mr. Snape, who didn't go up to snatch the camera and throw it back, was ecstatically looking at the endless sea.

——— "What's his name?" Nancy nudged her very dull friend today with her elbow.

----"I do not know……"

——— "...you went up and talked to him for a long time, what did you say???"

——— "How to use the camera... He seems to have never used a Polaroid, so he is very curious..."

——— "It's understandable... After all, what he wears on his chest is the Leica Zero series that I saw in the last photography exhibition..."

——— "What is that? Are you sure?"

———— "A nobleman in a camera with a terrible price, the appearance is too rare, I don't think I can admit it. But it doesn't matter... After a while, you ask him if he wants to travel with him, and ask him where he is going next, we will make a big deal Play with you again! Is he alone?"

——— "Perhaps... Nancy... or forget it?" Julie said hesitantly.

———— "Why?! They say this port is a holy place for love encounters! You should at least get to know each other with him..."

——— "Nancy, the ring..."

——— "Huh? What ring?"

Here Nancy was still wondering what Julie hadn't finished speaking. Cyril had already taken the photo, and handed the camera back, along with the photo that had come out in her hand.

"This camera is really interesting and cute. Do you think it's okay?" Cyril avoided the other's fingers, and politely handed over all the things, keeping a distance of more than half a meter between them.Julie twitched the corners of her mouth, Nancy flicked the photo casually, glanced at it, and nodded her thanks with a smile on her face.

"As a thank you—may we take a picture of you? Let's see you alone——"

Cyril's eyes lit up, and his tone was brisk: "Is it really possible? Thank you so much. Use your interesting camera and take a picture of me and my family."

"..." Looking around, the girl in the navel dress who didn't see the so-called other people fell silent.

"...Family?" Nancy stuck.

Julie looked calm.

A gust of sea breeze blew, and several seagulls flew over, perhaps because of psychological effects, and the effect of calling out crows was actually produced.

"Severus, come take a group photo." Cyril turned around and took the wizard's hand on the baby carriage from the rock on the other side of the corner.

A group of girls saw a cool guy in sunglasses who was taller than Cyril, with a more perfect figure and an imposing manner.Ironed and straight trousers, a perfectly shaped long-sleeved shirt, the cuffs are just right at the elbows, two buttons are loose at the neckline, Oxford handmade leather shoes are retro and elegant, and under the sunglasses, they are more angular than Cyril, with more facial features With a deep face, he was pulled by Cyril's interlocking fingers with one hand, and held a baby carriage with the other.Although he couldn't see his eyes, it could be seen from his tightly pursed lips and straight jawline that this was a serious man——full of demeanor of a cold and domineering president.

"..." Nancy gasped.

The pram... the crop top girl took a step back and grabbed Lucy's arm.Lucy silently freed her little arm from the bone claws of her friend.

What day is it today, can you meet all kinds of superb men? !

"Can you take a picture of me and my lover?" Cyril's aristocratic arrogance, literary temperament, gentleness, and gentlemanly dignity all faded away in an instant. Sunglasses will blind everyone's eyes.The boy in the hat was on the verge of grabbing Severus' arm and giving it a hug.

"..."

The girl in the navel dress who was about to say that we took a photo together slowly closed her mouth and silently raised the camera.

"The background is the sea...is that okay?" the French girl holding the camera said nah.

Severus held back the sneer that came to his lips—the background here doesn't look like the sea, does it look like you?But Cyril pinched his arm and dragged him down.The wizard habitually thought that his little friend had something to say, so he tilted his head slightly.

"Chirp—" A short kiss landed on the side of the wizard's cheek.

"Crack." The camera happened to faithfully record this moment.

At the same time, Julie saw the same ring on Severus's hand as Cyril's, and it was on the two hands they held, which complemented each other.

"Wow--"

"Wow----"

Two earth-shattering baby cries erupted from the stroller. Cyril took the photo to thank him, squatted down and opened the lace curtain of the stroller, and carried out the eldest son, Egger. Severus took Noah tacitly.Two tiny, dainty babies appeared before the silent girls, with Cyril's gray-green eyes.

……

Dinner was eaten in a private restaurant. On the open-air balcony, there were only two tables, each holding a corner, far away without disturbing each other.From this position, you can directly look at the sunset by the sea, and it seems that you can reach the boats by the pier and the seagulls soaring in the distance.The two cubs stopped crying a long time ago, and each obediently held their own feeding bottles and sucked sweetly.

The two summoned the house-elf just now, and the idealist Cyril finally resigned to his fate.He'd thought well before—mum and dad didn't have to rely on house-elves to raise them, so could he and Severus.Cyril still felt that there was nothing wrong with this view until he was grabbing applesauce with his two sons on the train.

A small episode later changed Cyril's mind——Egbert and Noah "shown" their magical talents one after another. Summoned Severus's cup of black tea (the big red robe that the flight attendant asked for just now), Cyril still maintained the appearance of a fox a second before the incident, flicking his tail to show off happily, cheating and cheating drink.

Everything happened too fast, Severus threw away the half-scratched apple and spoon in his hand, and saved the cup of scalding tea from being poured on everyone's heads and faces with a wave of his wand. The eldest son, Little Egger, couldn't control Containing his magic power, he was embraced by the human-turned Cyril at the very moment of his rapid fall.

There was no danger, but it scared the two fathers enough.For a moment of confusion, both of them felt the helplessness of the father who had two magical babies.Little Aiger and little Noah showed extraordinary magical talents prematurely. Regarding this, the two fathers are still very pleased --- but they are obviously more frightened.

—— "Severus, I think we need to talk." Cyril looked serious.

——"That's exactly what I meant, Cyril." Severus panted and stuffed the two little Fluffy into the cradle and fastened the safety buckle.

——— "Although our starting point..." Cyril spoke after deliberating.

——"You're right, this is just the beginning..." Severus agreed with a look of agreement.

Now, Cyril feels that the times are developing and society is progressing, and the specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail, for example, he and Severus have two little friends—the kind who can turn into a fox with magic, Obviously, even though the two of them are young and strong, "hands can lift, shoulders can resist", but every parent who has raised twins knows that taking care of two children at the same time is by no means a 11=2 problem. Geometric progression is not an addition operation.

So everyone was happy, the family of four was on the way to the beach (the two little flannels were sleeping) and they already had apple and banana puree, asparagus puree, carrot puree, hot milk and fish paste, which were kept fresh by magic, according to Severus , He has sent Dorji, who is invisible to follow, to decorate their room in advance, and when they go back, they can see ready-made baby products and various baby equipment that have been assembled.

For dinner, Cyril had the Provence fish soup strongly recommended by Roland. He himself didn't have much preference for it, and he perfectly showed the respect that a tourist should have for the local food and the curiosity of trying it for the first time, but Severus He sneered at the sticky soup in front of him.After taking a sip, I set my sights on the fresh oysters.

"Actually, I'm still not used to eating it raw. It looks like you've adapted well?" Cyril pressed the corner of his mouth with a napkin.

Severus squeezed the lemon just right on the fresh and tender shellfish, raised his arm, and ate it directly into his mouth, noncommittal.

"I remember... "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" wrote 'long-term clothing, strong joints, killing evil spirits, and prolonging life'. But... rumors..." Cyril watched Severus wipe with a napkin excitedly Wiping the corners of his mouth, he raised one eyebrow.

"What?" Severus asked calmly.

"It's nothing."

Cyril curled her lips and thought silently, it's better not to say that someone eats this kidney tonifying and strengthening yang. Since the two little fluffy were born, the two of them have hardly done a full set of "healthy exercise in bed", not because of lack of sleep , because it was forcibly "interrupted" in the middle of the process.

Severus probably really hurt the three foxes to the bone, so he didn't have the heart to let the house elf carry the crib to the nursery that he had prepared before. Merlin knew that when he saw Cyril get up secretly in the middle of the night How his heart softened when he went to kiss the forehead of the sleeping baby in the crib.

The two of them were just at the time when they were young, and they had finally opened their minds. They had just explored a little "doorway" to each other, and now they are considered very good if they don't have any troubles. !

After dinner, the family of four walked to the port again.

"Live here at night?" Cyril looked around, no matter how it looked, it didn't look like there was a decent house to live in.

"Here." Severus supported the stroller with one hand, and pulled the people around him to an extended pier with the other.It was already evening, and the boats were densely parked on both sides of the extended plank road, like rows of pacesetters standing upright waiting for inspection, the two of them passed by all the way, Cyril looked at all kinds of boats, Very curious.

The little foxes fell asleep again, and this time Cyril estimated that they would not wake up until eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening.

Severus stopped in his tracks, and spoke to the right, with a flat tone: "Daniel."

"Mr. Snape, Mr. McLean." A bearded man stood on the deck of a white three-story medium-sized yacht and waved enthusiastically, speaking English with a strong Welsh accent.

Cyril looked up at the tall white guy who didn't realize until he got close, looked at the people around him in surprise, and a guess came to his mind.

"Athena——all are ready for you. Brand new, self-driving, safe and beautiful. It is the most perfect work of mine in the same period, and she is a good girl." Daniel stroked the railing of the yacht fascinatedly , jumped off the deck.

"Hard work." Severus nodded, holding out his hand.

"It's my pleasure to serve you, and you can find me whenever you need it. If you don't have time to take care of it in the future, I'm willing to help you at any time." Daniel smiled heartily and shook hands with Severus briefly and forcefully. The face turned to Xi Ruier, briefly grabbed Xi Ruier's hand, blinked and said: "I wish you a happy night. You can open the skylight in the master bedroom at night. The night sky over the sea is the most beautiful."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, Athena is also very happy to have finally found a master, you will like her, she is much more than just a small boat."

As if in response to what Daniel said, Athena hung down a staircase with railings from top to bottom, and even thoughtfully provided a slope on one side for pushing a baby stroller, which landed right in front of the family of four.All the decorative lights on the white yacht were turned on in an instant, Beethoven's Ode to Joy sounded, and the word "Athena" shone on the side of the hull.
