[HP] look at you

After adjusting the seat belt on her body, Olivia turned her head to look at Snape. His face was a little uncomfortable, but his mood was still stable.

"Although I promise it's safe," Olivia took two steps forward, overlooking the lake below from the [-]-meter-high step, "if you feel uncomfortable, you don't have to force yourself to jump down."

Snape was not willing to show weakness: "If you want to use chat to relieve tension now, I can help you, do you need me to push you behind?"

Olivia felt that Snape was becoming more and more courageous, and he no longer resisted experiencing new things, but seemed a little eager to try.

She had an inexplicable feeling of turning people astray.

These few days they have spent in the sunshine, beach and waves of Los Angeles. During the day they go diving, surfing, and learn how to handle sailing and yachting with their instructors. At night, they go to Chinatown, Little Tokyo, Hollywood and other attractions to eat and shop, or Listening to opera and watching movies, when they really don't want to move, they lie on the balcony of the hotel enjoying the sea breeze, drinking coconut milk, listening to music, and reading.

This kind of comfortable and comfortable life made Olivia couldn't help feeling: "It's good to have money!" Although there are also ways to play poor, but there is no such chic and refreshing that you don't have to worry about everything.

She made up her mind to go back and do some business again. Nothing is more important than making money to spend.

Olivia did not forget to encourage Snape again: "It's not okay to sit and eat, we can cooperate, you can consider selling that potion in my shop."

"Your shop?" Snape raised an eyebrow.He finally understood why she never gave up on letting him develop the potion.

"That's right, you should have been to the Dumbfounded department store in Diagon Alley." Olivia didn't think there was any embarrassment in soliciting business for her own store. To engage in MLM, you must first attract people around you into the water.

The fact that Olivia opened a shop by herself didn't surprise Snape much, but when he heard the name of that shop, Snape was a little surprised.After receiving the notice, he and Lily went shopping in Diagon Alley, and were also surprised by the three-story store next to Gringotts - the layout inside was too similar to a Muggle shopping mall.

"I just want to say that your level of naming is really a mess."

"Don't you think the initials of my name are like the dumbfounded expression?" Olivia actually wanted to name it dumbfounded.jpg at first, but Elton thought it was more like a prank toy seller and rejected her proposal.

"...I think it looks more like a retarded expression."

"I'd consider naming your counter MDZZ."

"First of all, I reject this name that looks like the abbreviation of some disgusting organization, and secondly, I did not agree to open a counter in your store."

Olivia turned a deaf ear to his resolute protest, and seriously began to conceive how to develop a new business: "Or I can directly acquire your formula, and then share the profits with you?"

"Please stop talking to yourself."

"If you make it yourself, I will only charge you [-]% of the profit as a counter fee. If you sell the recipe to me, I will share [-]% of your profit. What do you think?"

"..." Snape said weakly, exhausted physically and mentally. "I choose the second."

Olivia clapped her hands in satisfaction: "A wise choice."

Turning around on the edge of the pedal, Olivia raised her arms towards Snape, she smiled and blinked: "Then I'll go down first, see you later."

She took a step back and fell from a height of [-] meters.

The body seems to be suspended in the air for a moment, and then you can feel the slight pain of breaking the wind.Olivia saw Snape looking at her from the high platform, but soon he became a black spot in her sight.When the rope bounced back, his figure could be seen becoming clear again.

Olivia has always liked the weightlessness of throwing her body in the air, as if she could fly away from the shackles of gravity, but before, she usually closed her eyes to feel the sound of the wind, or watched the ground close in her eyes Pulling away, this time she found it interesting to watch Snape's face grow bigger and smaller.

He—what will become of him?

When seeing Snape for the first time, Olivia did not expect that the two of them would get along like this.

At the beginning, she just thought that this is a tragic hero, who has been trapped in what he wants all his life, and he can hardly get what he wants to catch.He didn't live for himself, and his final death was too humiliating, let alone become a talking point in others' mouths after death.

If only I could help him.

Most people are like this, they will feel pity for other people's misfortune, even though it has nothing to do with it, they can't help but help.

It's like seeing a dying kitten on the side of the road and naturally wanting to take it home and save it from dying.Even if the cat is not good-looking, has a bad temper, scratches randomly, and sheds fur all over the ground, I want to pick it up, and I can't throw it out again.

next.Seeing it becoming lively and energetic every day, not only does it not act coquettishly, but also turns against customers, occupying the land at home as king, sometimes it is so angry that it wants to beat it, but when it gently brushes its tail Take a look at your calf, and you will feel that it is actually quite cute.

People will be emotionally invested in things that they have put their heart and soul into.At the beginning, I just felt that I couldn't just let it go and keep it in check. It would inevitably become more and more pleasing to the eye, and finally I couldn't let go of it.

However, was Snape a cat picked up on the way to her?Olivia couldn't help laughing.

Comparing Snape to a cat felt so counterintuitive, he wasn't the type to be locked up at home and meow for food.If anything, she sometimes felt that Snape looked at her like a beast for food, especially when learning from her.

He's a hungry wolf, hungry for every piece of meat that could make him stronger.

Olivia found that she was still worried, and after seeing Lucius' situation, she was even more afraid that Snape would still go the same way.

——This is the reason why she brought him to America.

He wants to become stronger, and she gives him strength.He had no choice but to let his eyes see more places.If she couldn't hold Lucius back, at least she could stop him.

Seeing that Olivia had untied her rope and jumped into the waiting boat in the lake, Snape took a few deep breaths.

The heart was beating violently, and the calf was a little weak. Even though he had done enough mental work, it was still difficult to move that leg.

This is the most primitive fear of falling for human beings without wings.

But Snape hated his own fear, which he felt was the weakness of an incompetent.Since Olivia was able to jump without hesitation, his fear would make him feel ashamed.

He didn't want to lose to anyone, especially he didn't want to show cowardice in front of Olivia.

Taking a final breath, Snape jumped down with his eyes closed.

The body loses control and is completely surrendered to gravity and reaction forces.For a while, Snape didn't even feel the presence of his heart, and he didn't realize that he was panting violently until the blank feeling of blood rushing to his head gradually receded.

It's not because of fear, but because there seems to be a pressure in the body that is resisting gravity. If you breathe quickly, it will expand and explode.

Before the rope bounced back for the first time, Snape was still in a daze, but when he fell down for the second time, his body that got used to it felt unparalleled excitement and joy.

Don't think about anything, just feel the lightness without any support.

No wonder Olivia likes this kind of thing.Snape starts to kind of understand and empathize, the feeling of freedom, addictive.

Was that why she hated the Dark Lord's style?After experiencing this kind of unrestrained pleasure, you will indeed feel disgusted with the state of surrendering to someone and losing your autonomy.

"How does it feel?"

Olivia sat cross-legged on the slender wooden boat, watching Snape who untied the rope and jumped off.The boat shook slightly because of his movement, and he quickly sat down beside her.

"It's not bad." Snape rubbed his face, the skin on his face was still tingling slightly due to the backwash of blood, "However, it's good to try this taste of indulgence once in a while."

Olivia laughed.

She knew that Snape was not criticizing, but really felt that too much indulgence would make people dependent, like taking drugs, more and more pursuing this exciting feeling, and finally feeling bored with ordinary life.

She knew that a lot of people who liked extreme sports became like that, but Snape didn't expect to discover it the first time he tried it.

Should he be praised for being too sharp, or should he be said to be too restrained with himself?

"Sweeteners, eating too much will hurt your body." Olivia lay down, closed her eyes and felt the cool breeze in the valley, allowing the blood that was hot just now to return to normal temperature slowly.

Snape's clattering eardrums gradually quieted down.

He looked up at the springboard above: "How do we go back?"

"If you're happy, go back by boat, if you're not, just apparate and leave."

"...Then are you happy or unhappy?"

"I'm brainless, and you're unhappy."

"Speak English, please."

"Patience." Olivia felt that these two words were about to become her mantra for Snape, "Now let's feel peaceful, rest, rest."

Inexplicably, he felt that Olivia's words seemed meaningful, but Snape didn't want to seriously explore them at all. Long-term experience told him that those words were more likely to be a meaningless cold joke.

Sitting in a daze for a while, Snape saw that her breathing was long, and her overexcited mind was beginning to be invaded by layers of sleepiness.He yawned and lay down too.

Olivia opened her eyes, turned her head slightly, looked at the sleeping face close at hand, and secretly pursed the corner of her lower lip.

Or do you only act like a child when you're sleeping?

She closed her eyes again.

In the quiet valley, two people fell asleep in the middle of the lake, head to head.

After bungee jumping, Olivia took Snape to experience paragliding.

A paraglider is actually similar to a broomstick. It may not be as easy to control the direction and speed as a broomstick, but it is better than a broomstick because it can be leaned on like a chair, which is more comfortable and comfortable.

There are two-person paragliders, and two people sit one after the other, letting the wind support them, floating in the air like duckweed without gravity.

Olivia was framing the camera intently, and Snape kept brushing the hair she had blown into his face from time to time.

"Why don't you use a wizard's camera?"

"The words of the characters will be more vivid when they are dynamic, but I think the scenery is still more beautiful when it is still." That momentary freeze is the charm that makes people full of reverie, "Is there a saying that is not momentary but eternal? "

"The moment that is preserved forever is eternal, and if no one remembers it, it has no meaning at all," Snape retorted.

Olivia was a little surprised that he would say this, and thought for a while: "That just doesn't make sense to you."

"If it doesn't make sense to me, it's none of my business even if other people think it makes sense." Snape's words were full of self-centered style of "I don't care if he is flooded after I die".

Olivia laughed: "It makes sense!" Regardless of whether the three views are right or not, at least she feels happy.

After turning the camera around and taking a few selfies for them, Olivia suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about making a portrait of yourself?"

Snape froze for a moment, he thought for a while and said, "I don't want to."

"why?"

He pouted: "I can't pin my safety on the protective charm of the picture frame."

Olivia couldn't help laughing out loud: "It seems that you also know that even if your temper is made into a portrait, you won't survive an episode."

Snape smirked: "If you become a portrait, I promise to split your picture frame and use it as firewood."

"I won't get that thing either." Olivia shook her head.

Every time she sees Ivan, she can't help but wonder why Ivan draws a portrait of himself.Although the characters in the portraits can visit each other, it is only from one frame to another.Except for the painted background, the world in the portrait is nothingness and dead silence.

Therefore, most of the portraits are in a deep sleep, on the one hand to avoid the loss of spirit, and on the other hand to avoid the feeling of emptiness.

She was glad to know Ivan, but she never wanted to experience that feeling.

"What's the difference between the person in the portrait and the real person?" Snape didn't know much about this.

"The shape of the person in the portrait requires the owner of the portrait to continuously inject thoughts into it when he is alive, a bit like writing a diary." This requires a lot of time and energy, so not everyone is willing to spend this effort.

"Then the master has to make sure that the portrait is not too far away from him when he dies, so that a ray of his soul can enter the portrait and make the thoughts in the portrait come alive. It can be said that the portrait is a remnant of the master, and the longer the preparation time, the better it will be. The more the portrait resembles the person, the more thinking can be done." It is rare to have prepared for nearly 100 years like Ivan. She basically has all her memories and thoughts, and her words and deeds are exactly the same as before her life.

To put it another way, it is a bit like carving, the more elaborate the carving, the more vivid it will be.but--

"The people in the portraits cannot be changed. Living people will change their opinions, characteristics and habits because of various experiences, but the people in the portraits, like photos, have been frozen in time, regardless of the outside world. No matter what happens, she will not change her original character."

That's why Olivia occasionally has a feeling that she can't make sense of Ivan. At that time, she will really feel the fact that Ivan is already a "dead person".

Snape frowned incomprehensibly: "Then why do you want to paint yourself?"

Olivia looked towards the mountains in the distance: "Maybe there's something I can't let go."

I don't know what Ivan can't let go of.

"There isn't a single portrait in the Prince's Manor." Snape didn't know whether he was satisfied or disappointed about this. It would be nice if no one gave pointers, but it would be nice if there was an elder to guide him.

"Maybe they can't stand a world without potions."

Snape thought for a moment, then nodded approvingly.

Olivia kept laughing.

After playing in Los Angeles for more than half a month, the depraved two finally remembered the reason why they were thrown, and set off for New York.

Compared with the laid-back Los Angeles, New York is a fast-paced metropolis. It is more prosperous, more advanced and convenient than Los Angeles, but it is also more crowded, noisy, dirty and cold.

"I think they might as well put the Ministry of Magic in Los Angeles. There are so many people here, aren't they afraid of being discovered?" With preconceptions about this, Snape didn't like this city very much.

"In fact, the United States is the most experienced country among all countries in avoiding Muggles." They even put the Magic Congress and ordinary people's buildings together, and they really managed to hide in the city.

Olivia glanced at Snape: "The United States is different from the United Kingdom. Previously, wizards and Muggles in the United States were not allowed to marry or even make friends with each other in private. Although this law has been abolished recently, I am willing to work with him for a while." There's still not much Muggle traffic."

Although there are pure-blood families in the UK who want to maintain their bloodlines, they don't care who others want to marry.

Snape asked, "Do American wizards also hate Muggles?"

"Well—" Olivia guessed, "I think they are afraid of Muggles."

"Huh?" This sentence was a bit difficult for Snape to understand. Although his acceptance of Muggles had improved during this period of time, in his opinion, Muggles were still weak, and a simple Confusion Curse would do the trick. Take it easy.

"The Salem witch hunt incident, you should read the history of magic in North America before you come here."

"...that's coming from someone who never took a History of Magic class."

"I'm just not happy to remember trivial matters like who made the first potions cauldron."

"It's Joseph Bruno!"

"Look, someone always remembers."

Replying to Snape's stare with a smile, Olivia stopped in front of a gothic skyscraper: "Here, this is the Ministry of Magic of the United States. According to their name, it is called the Magical Congress of America."

Snape raised his head and looked at the modern building with people coming and going.

The author has something to say:

It's been so late again... Today, no, yesterday was to watch the live broadcast of the bureau OTZ

The seat is so handsome!I bought the bureau book! !Autograph! !Happy roll.

Today, the two continue to be sweet, and every time they write about the professor, they are extra careful, for fear of being too collapsed.It shouldn't have collapsed, hahahaha (didn't dare to think).

It's a little awkward when it comes to the American wizarding world, because Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them hasn't even been released yet! !I didn't dare to write because I was afraid that my setting would conflict with the movie.

Can the Taiwanese friends who have seen it tell me, is there any American magic circle in it?Like Diagon Alley.
