HP trickle down

Snape House was very quiet at night.

Although the environment at the end of Spider Alley is not good, there are still tenacious insects alive, playing cheerful music at night.

Severus touched the cover of the book, didn't want to read it, but couldn't sleep.They had electricity in the house, but Severus didn't want to turn on the lights to save money.

The eagle didn't know if the thing was brought...

Closing his eyes, Severus tried to clear himself, trying to fall asleep.

When Bert landed in the courtyard of Snape's house, the grass was still taller than people, and it was not as exquisite as Alfred's garden. Bert couldn't figure out his strange feeling about this place.Severus' letter was terribly short, but it made him happier than those nobles' high-sounding words of praise.Severus is not a person who can express himself, it is not easy to remember his birthday like this and send a gift.

In the dead of night, Burt didn't choose to knock on the door, nor did he choose to use Apparition, the voice was really uncontrollable.He didn't want to just look at the dirty window, he wanted to see Severus.

So, he decided to climb the wall!

Bert walked to the wall, carefully observed the condition of the wall, and after confirming that there was enough leverage, he climbed up neatly regardless of the dress he was wearing.

Struggling to grab the frame of the window, Burt pushed it hard, and narrowly fell onto the narrow window sill, carefully choosing a foothold and jumping into the room.

Severus was about to fall asleep, but he heard a discordant sound, and when he opened his eyes, he saw someone squatting by his window, which startled him.And the man's leisurely attitude of strutting, and the way he fell into the room, Severus instantly recognized that it was Bert!

Satisfied that he didn't make any noise, Burt patted his hands and dust off his body, and turned around to see Severus who was lying on the bed sitting up.His black eyes seemed to be shining, and he stared at him.

"Damn it, you like to be independent so much?" Severus was so annoyed that this guy climbed the wall without leaving the front door!

Burt was a little embarrassed, and explained dryly: "I'm afraid that you will fall asleep, so I will disturb your sleep..."

"Oh," Severus sneered, "doesn't disturb my sleep?"

Bert choked, but in a moment he frowned again: "What are you doing up so late?" Severus was malnourished, staying up so late was ruining his body.

Now it was Severus' turn to be silent.

"Great birthday present, I like it very much."

Severus said stiffly for a moment: "That's not a birthday present! Which eye of yours saw me give a birthday present?!"

"Well, that's not it," Burt was a little amused in his heart, "then Sev owes me a happy birthday!"

Severus froze. He had never seen anyone ask for birthday wishes like this.After holding back for a long time, I said, "Why should I say, are we familiar?"

Burt pretended to be sad, and threw himself on Severus, his eyes locked on Severus's: "Sev, we are friends!"

"My friend?" Severus asked back.

"Of course!" Burt replied firmly.Although he hadn't been with Severus for long, he definitely regarded Severus as a friend.Otherwise, he would never have joked with Severus or received his gift so happily.

"So, doesn't Severus say happy birthday to his friends?" Burt smiled, kneeling on the bed, looking at Severus, expecting his reaction.

Severus clenched his fingers unconsciously, turned his head to give up on himself and said, "Happy birthday." The voice was very soft, but Burt could hear it clearly.

Burt was very happy, happier than hearing a hundred birthday wishes from those nobles, the corners of his mouth widened, laughing so hard that Severus couldn't help but kick him.

"Thank you." Burt threw himself on Severus, and Severus tried to push him away, but he couldn't help it.

"I just wanted to see you, but I didn't expect you to be awake. I'm very happy to receive your birthday wishes." Bert's voice flowed into his heart through his ears, and the heat continued to smoke Severus' ears .

Severus felt very uncomfortable, and pushed Burt away: "Ha, I'm not your only friend, just say something, and other people will come up to you and tell you!" Even Lily Her ordinary friends, Burt's friends are definitely not missing.

"You are my first friend." Burt said seriously, "That was the first time I left home, and I was lucky to meet you..."

"You thought I would..." Believe? !

Severus swallowed the words back, Burt's expression was too serious for him to say such a thing.

"It's a pity there's no birthday cake for you," Bert regretted, then suddenly remembered something, "How about going somewhere with Severus and me?"

"It's so late," Severus said with a half-smile, "your living habits are really unflattering."

"Let's go!" Bert thought he agreed, put the pendant around his neck on his hand, and took Severus's hand with the other hand, so that Severus' hand touched the pendant, and then Said: "Alfred Manor!"

Severus felt that the eyes were all white, and the light was so dazzling that he couldn't help but close his eyes.

"Here we are." Burt's voice sounded, and Severus opened his eyes.

The dark environment couldn't tell how beautiful the room was, but Severus could feel that the room was very big, and the bed in the middle was also very big, bigger than his room.And there was a huge portrait on the wall directly opposite the bed, and the room was filled with the fragrance of irises.

"This is my bedroom," Bert explained to a puzzled Severus, "come with me."

Not giving Severus a chance to refuse, Burt took Severus' hand and ran.

Severus stumbled as he followed Bert, and he had no time to remember the winding corridors.Bibert's house, his house was small and dilapidated, and Severus felt a little inferior.

Bert didn't know what was going on in Severus' mind, he finally stopped, pushed open a door, and turned on the light.It was only then that Severus realized that this was the kitchen.

"It's still 43 minutes before my birthday is over," Bert used a time to appear, "Let's make a cake together!"

Shocked by Bert's words, Severus wandered his eyes on the kitchen utensils, and said unconfidently: "I won't, I've never done it..."

Bert didn't care if Severus had done it, as long as he knew how to do it, he took out a bowl, and a mixer, and beat a few eggs in it himself: "Like this, Severus." Then Pushing the bowl into Severus' hands, Severus took it and mechanically imitated Bert's movements.

Burt dug out the flour, butter and other ingredients. The ingredients in their house are still good, and it is still very simple to bake a simple cake.Seeing that Severus was completely out of shape, Bert couldn't help feeling evil, and wiped his hand on Severus' face, and Severus suddenly came back to his senses, the veins on his forehead twitching: "Asshole! ' Grabbed a handful of flour and dabbed it on Burt's face.

Severus was annoyed by Burt's need to play and make batter at the same time.

After 15 minutes of frantic work, Burt finally finished the semi-finished product, stopped Severus from throwing the wet dough, put the mold in the oven, and carefully adjusted the time.

"Wait for half an hour." Burt estimated the time and frowned, so that the time passed.He turned to kneading noodles again, wanting to cook two bowls of longevity noodles.Severus couldn't participate now, stared at Bert for a while, then went to the oven.

Burt had three minutes left to cook his bowl of noodles, and the oven was still baking the cake. "Severus, let's eat together." Although the longevity noodles are eaten by birthday stars, he is willing to share them with Severus.

Severus picked up the fork and looked at the noodles in the bowl, surprised, "One?"

"Well, this means wishing the birthday person a long life." Burt explained casually, eating up his noodles in one go.

Severus was surprised that Bert could eat so ferociously, he followed Bert's example and ate it all at once, and found that the taste was very good.The noodles were hot, hot enough to keep Severus warm.

"I didn't get the cake on my birthday, but the longevity noodles are also good." Bert smiled contentedly.

But Severus suddenly felt Bert's heart, lonely and longing for company.So is he...

"Ding" The oven door is loose.

Bert put on his gloves and removed the mold.Put it on the table and open the mold.The butter cake inside is baked just right, exuding a strong aroma.

"Although I'm full, why don't you try the cake we made together?" Bert looked at Severus curiously and called him over.

Severus couldn't believe that this cake had his own credit, it was obviously batter, why did he see such a "perfect" cake after a few 10 minutes?

Burt broke off a piece and held it to Severus' mouth.Severus opened his mouth to swallow, the sweet taste relaxing his mind.He hadn't eaten this for many years, and Tobias had ruined it long ago when his mother had bought him a small piece of cake with what little money she had.

"By the way, Severus," Bert remembered the potion, "how is Irene's potion brewed?"

"It will be done tomorrow."

Bert thought for a while, and then asked Tobias: "How is your father?"

"Not drinking made him feel bad, and he was sent to the hospital." Severus replied coldly.

"Stay at my house for one night, let's go to your house together tomorrow." Burt was sure that Severus hadn't learned Apparition, and his Apparation wasn't strong enough to take a person, and if the magic failed, they might not be able to Completely alive.

It happened to be sleepy too, and Severus wanted to go home, but Burt's tone didn't sound like a proposal, it was more like a begging, so he could only agree hesitantly.

Bert sent Stephanie away, and he will pick up Stephanie tomorrow.Severus agreed and he was relieved. If Severus insisted on going back, he had no reason to stop it, but it would be too troublesome.Tomorrow, he could take Severus back in a more comfortable way.

Because the two were childishly playing with flour, the whole kitchen was in a mess, and they were also messed up, like cats.Bert had to wash the dishes and kitchen utensils with Severus, tidy up the kitchen, and then took Severus to take a shower together.

Finally, they said good night and fell asleep peacefully...

Burt woke up early, and he had morning exercises, so he got up as quietly as possible so as not to disturb Severus' sleep.After washing and changing into training clothes, Bert went to the garden training ground to practice basic skills.

Lance ignored him and went to take care of the flowers in the garden first.

"Teacher, I brought a friend back last night." Bert panted and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Lance nodded coldly, indicating that he understood.He didn't ask Bert when he went out and who he brought back.

"Bring Stephanie back after the fighting training is over today." Lance thought of Stephanie, it was a helpless move to leave a little girl outside alone, and Stephanie would be sad.She should be taken home as soon as the matter is over, lest she be cranky.

Bert nodded quickly, and he would have done it even if Lance hadn't said it.Fanny, sometimes I don't want to hurt her, but I can't help myself when I have choices.And every time this happened, Bert resented himself for being powerless.

Lance put away his tools, tightened his cuffs, tied up his hair, and his handsome face became colder in the sun.He looked at Burt, Burt took a deep breath, rushed to Lance, and attacked Lance's bottom.Lance skipped easily and slammed his leg into Burt's back.Bert rolled to the ground to avoid the attack, his eyes calm.

……

Severus woke up with a soft bed under him, covered with a quilt that smelled of sunshine.The blue curtains were blown by the wind, and the air was filled with the fragrance of irises and fresh smells.And Severus saw the portrait as soon as he looked up. The men and women in the painting were both beautiful, and their eyes didn't fall on the bed.Severus remembered.

This is Burt's house.

Looking around, the room is ridiculously large.But after making cakes together yesterday, Severus no longer felt inferior.

Getting off the bed, Severus stood on the blanket with bare feet, his pale feet were bony. He approached the painting and looked at it carefully for a long time.Burt was very similar to them, especially the woman in the portrait, with almost the same eyebrows and eyes, exquisite and picturesque.

It must be a very close relationship with Bert to hang the portrait here, it should be his parents.

"click"

Bert closed the door gently, and saw Severus standing on the balcony, the morning sun shone on him, warm and lonely.

"Sev, you can have breakfast after washing up." He smiled.

Severus didn't know why his heart beat faster when he saw Bert's smiling face, and his ears slowly turned red: "Where is the bathroom?"

"There." Burt pointed to a door.

Severus fled into the bathroom.

Burt found a set of clothes from his closet and made them into the right size with a spell, knocked on the bathroom door and said, "Severus, I left the clothes at the door, and I took off my pajamas and changed them into yours. The clothes are still drying after being washed by the elves." Although there is a drying spell, not all magic is good.

After Severus changed, Burt naturally led the way and took Severus to the restaurant.

Lance didn't eat and waited for Bert.He took the second seat, Bert took the lead naturally, Severus sat next to him, and Ruili brought the food.

"Teacher, this is my friend Severus Snape."

Lance nodded slightly to Severus.

"Sev, he is my teacher, Lance Moonlight."

Severus thought the last name was a bit strange, but nodded politely to Lance.

The three finished their breakfast in silence. After Bert took Severus and Lance to say goodbye, Bert and Severus got into the carriage and left the castle.
