[HP] look at you

Silver smoke-like gas flowed out from the tail of the wand, thin and erratic, and after a while, Snape had to put down his wand and open his eyes.

This time the patron saint failed to condense again.

Olivia knew that Snape might have a small problem with this spell, but she didn't expect him to be stagnant for so long at the very beginning, unable to even make the gas condense at the very least.

She guessed that it might have something to do with his magic power not being thick enough, and that happy memories might really be lacking for him.

Seeing that his face was not very good-looking, Olivia changed the subject.

"Let's practice defense against the dark arts."

When they were in the Room of Requirement, in addition to practicing spells and making potions, they often practiced fighting.Magic is not like cycling or swimming, once you learn it, you will never forget it, but it is like learning a new language, if you don't practice it often, you will forget it.

So when Olivia was practicing with Snape, she would deliberately suppress her magic power and fight purely with skills.

In this regard, she had been studying with Evangeline before, and was guided by Elton. She had a lot of experience, but she found that apart from taking the initiative for a while at the beginning, as Snape gradually became proficient, she suppressed the magic power in the same way as Snape. She, who was at the same level as him, actually slowly lost her advantage.

In terms of anticipation, decision-making and reaction speed, Snape has a strong talent. He can always think of what spell she will use, and then quickly make his own response, just like playing chess. Well a few steps back.

Olivia obviously lacks that kind of combat sensitivity, and her response is relatively rigid. Her strengths lie in her dexterity and agility and precise control over spells, which will not waste physical strength and magic power.

With such a balance, the two are often evenly matched.

Olivia won today's match, but she could tell that Snape was a little absent-minded, maybe it was because the Patronus Charm hadn't progressed for a long time that made it difficult for him to concentrate.

"Okay, can you tell me where is the bottleneck of your Patronus Charm?" She couldn't continue studying in this state, so she had to ask to see if she could help him.

Snape glanced at her: "It's nothing, it's my own problem."

"Okay." Olivia raised her shoulders.

Today's study time ended, the two packed their things and went back to the cellar, but they were almost spotted by Filch on the way.

Some time ago, Filch asked Filch to look after the cat. Unexpectedly, he really took it back to raise, and named it Loris.If Norris hadn't run out of Filch's office and wandered around the cellar and was seen by Olivia, she wouldn't have known.

Filch looked a little embarrassed at the time.

She pretended not to see it, and carefully told him the precautions for raising a cat.

Norris was still young, and when she was active and active, Filch would not let it out during the day, fearing that it would get lost and get stuck somewhere, or be bullied by students who didn't like him, so he was on patrol at night Take her for a stroll.

The surprise is that cats have very sensitive senses of smell and hearing, and they are so curious that they will jump to see what they find. Filch caught many fish that slipped through the net by various means.

All four Academy gems have seen small declines lately.

The invisibility cloak couldn't block the sound and smell, Olivia often fed small dried fish to Loris, which caused it to raise its neck sensitively to look around after a long distance.

"Good boy, what did you find? Take me to get their tails out," Filch said grimly.

Olivia hurriedly pulled Snape into another corridor, walking too hastily, bumping into something head-on, they took two steps back under the reaction force, half of the invisibility cloak opened.

The opposite is also true.

Both sides froze.

James wanted to speak, but Sirius covered his mouth.

However, the sound had already passed, and the sound of Filch's brisk footsteps was very clear in the silent night.

"Let me see, which brazen boy it is."

Olivia quickly pulled on the Invisibility Cloak and silently cast the Disillusionment Charm. Without her saying anything, Snape raised his feet and ran forward at the same time.

James and Sirius were half a beat behind, and quickly followed suit.

When they reached the fork, Olivia said in a low voice, "Run separately."

The instruction was clear, and before the brains of the two people had time to react, their bodies had already turned in another direction according to her words.

Mrs. Norris, who was chasing behind, hesitated for a moment, moved her nose, turned her ears, and then decisively chose James' path.

The footsteps behind them became farther and farther away, until they could no longer hear any movement, Olivia and Snape stopped and leaned against the wall to breathe calmly.

At this time, we can see the effect of insisting on exercising. They didn't make a sound of panting when they ran wildly just now.

Pulling off the invisibility cloak, the two looked at each other with a bit of dark light coming in from the window, and laughed muffled.

"Ask for trouble," Snape said softly.If the cat hadn't been given to Filch, nothing like that would have happened.

"Don't you think this adds a little excitement to our nightlife?" Olivia thought this experience was very interesting.

Snape said indifferently: "No."

On the way back to the cellar again, this time there was nothing wrong with the journey, and the two returned to their dorms safely.

Opening the door, the room was dark. Snape listened to the movement, walked in after making sure there was nothing unusual, and turned on the lamp beside his bed.

Although he has always been wary of his roommate, he doesn't even bother to make noises at night to annoy them.After washing as silently as possible, Snape walked out of the bathroom and found that Hugh had got out of bed and was sitting on a chair thinking about something.

Hearing him come out, Hugh looked up.

Snape glanced at him and walked nonchalantly to his bed.

"Snape."

Snape took out his SOME and turned it over, without looking up, "If you want to say something, just finish it in one breath before I go to bed. I don't have time to listen to your hesitation."

Xio didn't know whether it was because of the light or embarrassment, his face flushed slightly.

He was silent for a while, before Snape closed his notebook and was about to lie down, he finally said, "I just want to say, I'm really sorry, about last term... I'm really, really sorry."

Snape snorted, "This apology has been brewing longer than any of your words."

"But please believe that I am not hostile to you, it's just that someone is persecuting me..."

"If you didn't find out that Parkinson has been avoiding us recently, would you dare to say such a thing?"

The words were choked back, and Xio lowered his head in embarrassment.

"As for your saying that you have no hostility toward me..." Snape sneered, "Really?"

Hugh didn't speak for a long time.

Snape didn't bother to talk to him any more, turned over on the bed, and drew down the curtains.

Closing his eyes, Hugh's voice came from outside in a low voice: "No...I'm jealous of you, you don't even know how much I'm jealous of you..."

Snape twitched his lips.Of course he does.Anyone who is not blind can see, and when Olivia appears, his eyes can almost shine, just like Potter looked at Lily.

Bloom hated him as much as he liked Olivia.

Snape felt that this was another unwarranted disaster.He didn't stop Olivia from interacting with others, and he was timid and afraid to approach him. What's the use of hating him?

They are just friends.

Snape took out his wand from under his pillow, stared at it for a while, and whispered aloud to God's Guardian.

Before learning this mantra, he also thought that it was too difficult for him to think about happy things, but when he really thought about it, he found that the difficulty is not to think about happy things, but not to think so much.

When I took him on the broom to get used to flying, when I taught him how to dance with Lily, when I wrote a letter saying that he could inherit the Prince family, when I gave him a present on my birthday, I ate hot pot and helped him roll up the sleeves that almost fell into the pot When he got up, when he warmed his hands during the Quidditch match, when he said he would not let him go, when he saw a unicorn, when he was diving under the sea, when he was chatting on the roof...

Happy memories flashed through his mind one after another, this time without forceful interruption, Snape recalled more scenes that had been suppressed before.

It cannot be ignored or denied, Olivia is present in almost all the memories that emerge.

He originally thought that what he remembered would be the scene of chatting with Lily on the hillside when he was a child, but now he realized that at that time, he was too cautious, always reminding himself to restrain his temper, not daring to make her angry, for fear of losing his only friend and like.

And most of the time with Olivia, although she was so angry that she jumped up and down, but in retrospect, even being angry was relaxed.

It has only been more than a year since I came to Hogwarts, and those dark memories seem to be so far away that they seem to have happened in my previous life.

Silver gas continuously flowed out from the end of the wand, tumbling and agglomerating in the small space, unable to form a fixed shape.

Vaguely, Snape seemed to see a pair of wings stretched out.

With a shaking of the hand, the gas gradually disappeared like melting ice and snow.

Snape tucked his wand back under the pillow and covered his eyes with the back of his hand.

After finishing the Charms class with Ravenclaw, Olivia was stopped just as she walked out of the classroom.

"Orpington."

Olivia turned her head and found that it was Sirius.

"I have something to ask you." He leaned against the wall and tilted his head to look at her. The collar of his shirt was unbuttoned, and the tie with gold and red stripes was hanging loosely around his neck. It was sloppy on someone else, but on him. , There is a chic and unrestrained romantic temperament.

Olivia glanced at Snape, and Snape said expressionlessly, "I'll go to the library first."

It's okay, now I don't even show my face to others.

Sirius also looked a little surprised: "I thought he would follow your ass and refuse to go."

Olivia's face was light: "If you can't show respect, I don't think we have anything to say."

Sirius pouted: "I don't believe he didn't speak ill of us in front of you."

Olivia felt that there was something wrong with his mind: "He said you in front of me, and you said him in front of me. I think the nature of it is different." The relationship is different, okay?You can scold a donkey in front of a Taoist priest, but if you scold a donkey like that in front of a monk, isn't it just looking for a beating?

After understanding her words, Sirius lowered his face slightly, and soon smiled again.

When he laughed, he always had a bad boy's air: "Let's find a quiet place, it doesn't seem suitable for talking here."

Olivia raised her hand and waved her wand, casting a silencing spell: "It's suitable now."

"..." Sirius felt that the girl on the opposite side was a bit out of line.

"I know what you're going to say." Olivia guessed when she saw him, "I put the dried fish on your body."

She originally wanted to throw it out to divert Norris' attention, but unexpectedly the two of them ran out and simply stuffed it on Sirius secretly, so that Filch would just prevent Filch from thinking of her when he saw the dried fish.

After all, there are not many people in Hogwarts who bring dried fish with them to masturbate cats like her.

This is of course a bit immoral, but dead friends don’t die poor people. Anyway, they have gained experience in guerrilla warfare with Filch. Both the Taoist and the demon are increasing their heights, discovering new secret ways, and making them more difficult. It doesn't hurt to help attract firepower.

And they weren't caught in the end last night, and today she looked at the number of Gryffindor gems on purpose.

The questioner was blocked before he could leave his mouth, and the person who did the bad thing still had a calm face, with an attitude of "I did it, what can you do to me", which made Sirius grit his teeth, but laughed out loud again .

"In this way, I have done you a favor anyway, can I make you owe a favor?"

Olivia thought he was looking for trouble, but she didn't expect him to look friendly instead of angry. In contrast, she looked a little aggressive.

Even so, she didn't want to get too entangled with him, so she casually said, "Yes, I'll treat you to dinner next time I'm on vacation."

"It's a deal." Sirius smiled brightly.

After finishing speaking, Olivia waved her hand and turned to leave. Sirius caught up with her in two steps and walked side by side with her.

"What else?" She squinted.

Sirius put his hands behind his head and said with a smile, "I'm going to the library too."

"Oh."

"How is Regulus?"

"Instead of asking me, it's more appropriate for you to ask your cousin, or directly communicate with your brother in person." Although she was a little interested in Regulus, she didn't have the time to stare at him all day long.

"Except for preaching and reprimanding, I can imagine what they will say." Sirius was unwilling to come to ask for scolding.

Olivia shrugged, showing a little sympathy in a calm manner.

Finding Lily and Mary in the library, Olivia sat down and looked around, asking, "Where's Severus?"

"Over there." Lily pointed.

Olivia looked over and found that he was sitting with two Ravenclaw students she met at the Slug Club party before, so she looked away.

"Speaking of which—" Mary's expression was strange, "Why is Black here?"

Olivia also turned her face to look at Sirius who was sitting next to her: "I think you can go find your friends."

Sirius looked around casually, and spread his hands: "James doesn't seem to be here."

"That's not why you're sitting with us."

Sirius looked at Lily and Mary pleadingly: "For Gryffindor's sake, I won't squeeze any more seats."

He made such a pitiful expression on his handsome face, and usually the girls couldn't refuse it cruelly.

Lily and Mary looked at Olivia.

"Well, for Gryffindor's sake," Olivia said.

Sirius smiled triumphantly, and then saw her pack up her things and stand up.

"I, Slytherin, have to leave first."

"Wait……"

"Keep quiet in the library!" Mrs. Pince came over and shouted.

Sirius watched Olivia walk out of the library without looking back.

"She hates me so much?" He turned his head and asked.They had a good chat just now, but they became ruthless no matter how they turned their faces.

Lily and Mary looked at him sympathetically.

"You're a bit..." Lily carefully worded her words thoughtfully, "You believe too much in your own charm."

Mary said bluntly, "Ollie hates a show-off like you."

Sirius, who was hit hard repeatedly, got up angrily.

After walking out of the library, Olivia went downstairs to go back to her bedroom.

She can't say she hates Sirius, but it's also hard to have a good impression of him.And once he acquiesces to this kind of coquettish and foolish behavior, he will think that this trick is really good for everything.Even though he looks like the favorite of heaven, not everyone will spoil him.

There are always too many people who don't realize that they can't walk without eyes until they break their necks.

Speaking of which, what did he want to do with her?Inquire about his brother?Put James close to Lily?Looking for a chance to trouble Snape?Or do you really just want to be friends with her?

After thinking about it for a while, Olivia decided to give up exploring. A freewheeling person like Sirius might just find it fun, just like she sometimes does things based on interest.

Opening SOME, Olivia sent Snape a message: Do you want to go to the Room of Requirement at night?

It wasn't until she went back to the dormitory and changed clothes to talk to Kerry that Snape replied that he would help Professor Slughorn prepare the materials for class in the evening.

Slughorn now uses Snape very much, and often asks him to help prepare some basic potions. Although in her opinion, Slughorn just found a free and reliable assistant, but Snape thinks he can learn When he got something, he worked hard without complaint.

Olivia stared at Snape's handwriting, and for some reason, she always felt that something was wrong.

The ink dots on the first letter were a bit heavy, and there was obviously a long pause. Each letter was written very neatly, completely unlike the usual flamboyant look - the last time she saw him writing so seriously was on that thank you letter.

So—why do you hesitate to write an ordinary sentence?

The author has something to say:

Fol Olly Moss: Don't lie to women.
