HP Winter Memories

In the boundary between daylight and darkness, night falls quietly.People put down their work and embrace this pure moment.

—— "My Journey and Memoirs"

The wand is a very delicate thing, and the production of the wand is also handed down in one continuous line. It is in charge of a special family such as Oliband. They even have a special connection with the wand, and no one except them can know the deeper mysteries.Even Voldemort's quest for the Elder Wand was to go after Olliband.

It is really rare to talk about the fact that two people can share a wand, just as Oliband would say solemnly and mysteriously to every little wizard who went to buy a wand for the first time: "It is the wand that chooses the wizard." Usually a wizard will only use one wand in his life, because the attributes of the wand are the same as the personality of a person. Lazy, pewter stubborn, hazel delicate.A wand of elderberry that never flourishes.There is even an old superstition about wands: his wand is oak, hers is holly, and the combination of the two is unlucky.

After listening to Snape's narration, Harry suddenly felt that even after living in the wizarding world for so many years, he still couldn't understand magic and things related to magic, such "magical" existence.

"But why do you want me to investigate? I don't know the situation as well as you, or I don't know anything at all except what you just said. Where do I need to investigate?"

Harry said confusedly, besides, because he was cast with the improved tracking spell and still didn't know it, he also didn't have the ability to investigate this witch whose ability was obviously superior to his.

"I just formed a preliminary guess from the usual details, and I need you to find an opportunity to help me verify it. You just need to cooperate with me or we may need to use compound soup occasionally. Just like the results of your test just now, some spells I can't It's done independently, I need you to test her with magic, just like you just tested me, cast a spell to check her current magic power." Snape explained quickly, and at the same time he pulled the curtain on one side and looked out .The outside was completely enveloped by the darkness of the night, and street lights were lit up far away, but the few street lights within the visible range near the window were not turned on, it seemed that Snape had turned them all off before.

"You suspect that there is also a problem with her magic power? Because of the improved tracking spell she used for me before?"

Just a few words just now gave him the impression that her magical power should be comparable to that of Snape when he was normal, and she is also a powerful wizard, especially her improved tracking spell that Snape praised. The magic power is growing again, is she going to stand shoulder to shoulder with Voldemort? !

Harry began to nervously rub the cup in his hand back and forth. Although he was often recognized as having strong magic power, judging from the relationship between the two people in front of him, he must belong to the type with abundant magic power and strong magic application and control skills. Although he also experienced war and Auror training, this incident made him feel unfathomable than any other test, and he directly "failed to die and expose".But what Snape said next took him by surprise.

"I'm sure both of our magic powers have been changing lately, but I'm more inclined that she's waning and the best outcome is that the magic power is completely gone."

The best outcome is to disappear completely?Is there anything worse than this?It's just that the loss of magic power already feels like a broken limb, and Harry doesn't know what to think while holding the cup.

"So, I need you to use a spell to confirm. I will explain the rest to you slowly when I have a chance. As far as I know, she is going to sketch in the Paro Valley tomorrow, and after getting the result, go to the place where I met for the first time." Look for me at work. This, burn it after you finish reading." After speaking, Snape stood up quickly, and stuffed a palm-sized note into Harry's hand, and disappeared in Harry's hand before Harry could react. Snape was in front of his eyes, and when Harry regained consciousness and climbed on the window to watch, Snape had already walked out of the darkness, and his figure gradually elongated under the streetlight.

Harry sat down in the chair at once, and he unfolded the piece of paper. On it was a spell in runes. The slender handwriting should have come from Snape. He read it for half a semester in sixth grade. Of course, the font was from the Half-Blood Prince. notes.The spell worked just like the one Moody had shown Harry the first time he went to 12 Grimmauld Place, except this one was a little simpler, because Liesel's Tracking Charm would have been known to the other party if he had just cast Liesel's Tracking Charm.Harry finished reading silently and then tapped his wand, the paper automatically burned and dissipated into the air together with ashes.Looking at his wand, could he assume that he now has a new profession, the private eye in Muggle novels?And he has been authorized to hire?But the most troublesome thing is how to use the spell.

Snape took advantage of the night to "sneak" home. Although he was sneaking, he would not call his behavior sneaky, especially when he saw that the lights in Liesel's studio were still on.He "overturned" the fence and walked around to the backyard generously and swayingly, and with a raised hand, he distorted his shadow projected in the house and replaced it with himself, as if he had been sitting here reading a book and never left.

After a while he heard Liesel splashing the painting or "washing the painting" with turpentine, he sighed, it has happened several times in the past few days since he used the listening spell to detect it, Liesel rarely appeared in the painting before Even if you are not satisfied with the situation where you wash off all the painting after painting, it will not destroy a large area.Moreover, he will not come to him for "criticism" without a work structure for a week in a row.And the letter from her gallery partner hadn't appeared at their dinner table for several days.He closed the pretend book, stood up and walked into the house.

"Lissel, I remember someone reminded me that we have a pot of yucca that is going to bloom at night, let me not miss it so that we can enjoy it together. Is this beautiful scenery exclusive to me now?"

He first knocked symbolically on the door, and then pushed away Liesel's studio at home.Liesel was standing in front of the canvas with his back to the door. The splashed painting could no longer see the original scenery, and the semi-viscous oil paint was slowly seeping down under the action of gravity.Brushes and paint slabs were also scattered on the ground, and there were several shapeless paintings all around.Snape's heart stopped beating, not because of his "artistic beauty" or this rare messy atmosphere, but because of Liesel's back, the kind of helpless and lost back, he sighed silently He took a deep breath and walked over, hoping that this was just a momentary illusion.

Liesel heard Snape walking towards her, put down the painting in his hand, and the moment he turned around, he had sorted out his emotions, and there was only the same calmness in his eyes as before, even when he met Snape's black eyes. It's just warm and indifferent, and dissatisfied with him wanting to monopolize the beautiful scenery.

"Of course not! The pot of yucca is the result of my 'serving'. Besides, I know that you probably want to watch it together because of the yucca moth. The whole world knows that you are a dull man with no interest. Just love potions and potion ingredients."

Snape couldn't deny it, but as if thinking of something, there was a smile that couldn't be erased from the corner of his mouth.Waiting for her to change out of the paint-covered clothes, and then taking the opportunity to help her take off the hair tie she wore while painting.Her curly hair gently entangled his palm, spread out between his fingers in an instant, and then slipped out of his fingers with nostalgia.He slowly opened the mouth and said:

"For now, you yourself have indeed been used as potions and potion materials for me. Now, can you guide me, a dull man, to develop a new interest in flower appreciation. In this wonderful night, in the In our lovely garden." Snape stared into her eyes, and as he leaned closer to her ear, he plucked his fingers from her hair, let them slide down, and rubbed his thumb on the side of her cheek. A faint drop of color remains.

Immediately, Liesel dyed the cheeks with crimson, and dyed the tips of the ears.Snape's occasional overly gentle and flirtatious words are always kind of tender and shy, especially the sentence that states the truth but has a double meaning: she is his potion.Liesel didn't bother to say anything, just nodded before being pulled away by Snape.

The yucca, the central protagonist of their discussion, has quietly stretched and bloomed in the garden.Among the sword-like leaves stands a flower stem alone, on which hangs a string of white bell-like flowers, as if they would jingle together as long as the wind blows.Snape and Liesel sat side by side, the fragrance of the flowers lingering slowly.This reminded Snape of the night he was "picked up" by Liesel when he almost died that year.At that time, he was escaping from the hunt as a Death Eater. He was seriously injured and didn't know where he had gone. Although the picture in his memory was blurred, he still retained the sound of her heartbeat and the scent of flowers mixed with it. The smell of paint, that was the first time he tasted safety in the first half of his life.

A few small yucca moths slowly emerged from the cocoons of the blooming yucca flowers, crawling unsteadily among the stamens, and the fragrance of the flowers was strong.

"Yucca, the wind can't carry its sticky pollen, and bees have no interest in its stamens. Only certain yucca moths can pollinate it. And yucca moths are also produced in yucca flowers, no other The host only eats the seeds of yucca, otherwise they would rather starve to death. The yucca blooms and feeds the yucca moth, and the yucca moth helps it pollinate and enters the cycle of life again. His mouth was as flat as a lecture, and he seemed to be the one who talked the most tonight.

But Liesel didn't say anything about it. She knew that what Snape wanted to say and ask was not a simple superficial question. How could someone as sensitive as Snape fail to see that the problem of her painting was not There is no creative inspiration or simple dissatisfaction, but the stagnant output of magic power, which makes her unable to control the coherence of the lines.But she couldn't reveal anything, could only hold Snape's hand tightly, sending the same heartbeat.It was Liesel's saving of Snape's life all those years ago that made the two of them "symbiotic" to some extent like this yucca and its yucca moth, but it may not be like this now. They've been the same for as long, and even though it's something Liesel doesn't want to see, she never regrets it.

"I have adjusted your new paint for you. I remember that you haven't been to Paro Valley for a long time. It rained heavily there today. You once called that place the residence of your muse. If you wish, I can go for a walk with you." Snape looked at her, the tenacity in her eyes was the same as before, but it made him even more unable to get close.He knew very early on that the two of them were of the same type, and he was determined not to let the other party know no matter how painful they were.And he can only use the story of the yucca to tell her that they can always live together like this.Even if she doesn't tell him he will find his own way.
