[HP] Mermaid in the Black Lake

After finishing, he said angrily: "Esmeralda, how can you say that about Severus?! He is my friend!"

"Okay, okay, I really don't know why you like being with that guy so much, even I am behind him." Esmeralda shrugged and said with some taste.

"Severus just has a bit of a fierce mouth. In fact, he is very gentle, and he almost fell from the second floor when he was a child, so he has a slight fear of heights. You can't deny his talent because of this. He is the most gentle person I have ever seen. Smart man!" As Severus' female knight, Lily was of course obliged to safeguard the honor of the "Prince".

"Don't say it, I still think John is smarter." John is Esmeralda's fiancé, a smart Ravenclaw.

"Understood." Lily rubbed her arms a little unbearably, and then asked strangely, "However, why does Severus know how to ride a broom? Doesn't he hate brooms?"

"He did it to save you."

"what?!"

Flight Lesson ([-])

The author has something to say: This is not Xiao Ran's attack on the Madonna mentality, he is just entangled in his past.

PS: Get an anti-crash backup.

Severus was taken to the infirmary by the flying professor, and Madam Pomfrey scolded her bloodily: "Oh, another one! Alice, why do people get hurt every time in your class? Flying The class really should be revoked!..."

While teaching the young flying lesson professor Alice Wick, he did not forget to give Severus a test spell, then took out a few bottles of potions from the cabinet, and fed them into his mouth with a gulp , "Mr. Snape, I think you need to stay here for two days, I need to observe your condition."

Severus loved making all kinds of weird potions, and now that he finally tasted the bitter fruit, there was a slush taste in his mouth, but he could only nod obediently: "Okay, ma'am."

"Very well, now, Alice, you can leave, this child needs to rest!" Madam Pomfrey smiled at Severus in satisfaction, and the Queen said to Alice with full force.

Alice blinked at Severus, and ran out quickly, obviously terrified of Madam Pomfrey.As far as Severus knew, Madam Pomfrey was one of the two queens known as Hogwarts. Even Dumbledore did not dare to rob her of her edge. Looking at it now, she really deserved her name.

The infirmary was cleaned up, Madam Pomfrey left, and Severus was the only one in the entire infirmary.

The effect of the potion was very good. At this moment, his painful area was surrounded by a warm stream of heat, and the pain soon disappeared, leaving only the numbness and itchiness of his bones telling him that the injury was in the process of healing.It's just that the bitter taste in his mouth still doesn't go away, making him feel that he can smell the extremely stench in his breath.

The upper window of the infirmary slammed slightly, which immediately attracted Severus' attention. The window opened from the outside, and a mermaid was slowly lowered down with a huge arm wrapped around its waist.

"Xiao Ran!" Severus shouted in amazement as he knew who the mermaid was when he saw the silver tail.

Xiao Ran patted his wrists and feet with a smile, and after letting it go away, he jumped to the side of the bed and said, "I heard that you have entered the infirmary, so please ask Rui Erwei to bring me to see you, now I feel How is it? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"I'm fine..." Severus hesitated for a moment, then murmured thanks.

Xiao Ran suddenly felt that the future cellar snake king should be lonely. After Lily died, he wrapped himself tightly with a layer of icy ice. People outside were afraid of the cold and dared not come in. Only Dumbledore and Lucius as friends could understand him.The little wizards always saw his vicious side, and no one saw how lonely and soft his soul was in that layer of ice.

Severus Snape was just a cub now, not yet in self-imposed exile, still waiting for warmth.Just like he used to be, looking for his parents in the ocean, looking forward to redemption, after experiencing countless setbacks and despair, he realized that people in this world can only rely on themselves, and no one can always rely on themselves.

They are so similar, but they react differently in the face of despair - Severus chose to destroy himself, while he chose to play in the world.

Maybe it's because Severus' feelings are hotter than his!

Turning back and forth in his heart, Xiao Ran patted Severus' head, and said with a smile, "We are friends, thank you for what?" Severus's hair is very greasy, but it is very smooth. I don't know how many girls I want to envy, Xiao Ran tore Severus' hair into a chicken coop in satisfaction, and finally was willing to let him go.

Severus' face was dark, and he wanted to resist, but felt that being touched on the head was a novelty, so he could only stare at Xiao Ran viciously.

"Tsundere is very bad, Severus, you have to learn to express your emotions." Dealing with Gryffindor's straight-hearted lions, restrained, sullen, iceberg, etc. are all unacceptable, because their energy is exhausted. Go jumping and jumping, how can I have a second nerve to think about the hidden meaning in your words.So for Severus's big plan of chasing girls, Xiao Ran began to impart experience.

Severus gritted his teeth, wishing he could throw this insatiable guy out: "If this is your wish, I think Mr. Xiao Ran can explain whether his head is made of Achnatherum splendens or Mandrake ? Is it true that I have to sing praises to the famous mermaid to express my feelings? Maybe I should learn how to write sonnets of praise, what does Mr. Xiao Ran think?"

Feeling the sharp venom of the future professor, Xiao Ran gasped. He could finally understand why Severus would occupy the first place in the list of "most hated professors" after 20 years—if it wasn't for him Knowing the inside story, it is difficult for someone to think about other issues when facing such venom, right?

Xiao Ran remembered that he was only 12 years old when his legs split, and he went to junior high school on land to cover up, and there was such a gloomy girl in his class.The children are always naive and cruel, and they can't help but bully them when they see her image. The treatment is exactly the opposite of his treatment who is popular because of his beautiful appearance.

Strange things were scribbled on the books, caterpillars were hidden in the stationery box, glue was smeared on the chairs, the homework handed in was torn up, and someone pushed it down the stairwell... all kinds of things He greeted her one by one with the moves, and in the end even made her go crazy, so her parents suspended her from school, and never heard of her since.

Xiao Ran didn't want Severus to become a person with extremely low self-esteem, he couldn't tell why, maybe it was because the two were too similar in their childhood, he pinched the other's face that was not baby fat but still soft, and smiled Said: "Okay, why don't you write one for me, and let me know how you praise my beauty in your heart."

"Damn it! Need I praise your kinship with the merfolk of the lake?"

"Oh, forget about the relationship!"

"Maybe you're like a toad when you're on land?"

"Severus, you can't describe a mermaid like that!"

This is what Dumbledore saw when he opened the door and came in - the new resident of the Black Lake groaned bitterly at Severus Snape, who was so imposing at a young age, while the other There was a smug smirk on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were soft. It was obviously a beautiful picture, but it made him smell something unusual.

Is there anything he doesn't know? "Cough cough, excuse me, dear children. Oh, my lord mermaid, welcome to Hogwarts, are you here to see Mr. Snape?"

"Nice to see you again, Principal Dumbledore. I heard that something happened to Severus, so coming to visit him shouldn't violate the Hogwarts treaty, right?"

"Of course, of course!" Dumbledore walked to the hospital bed and handed Severus a piece of candy, "Did you just drink the potion? You will feel much better if you take one. From now on, Your Excellency the Mermaid can come to Hoag as you like." Watts, every magical creature is welcome here. If you want, you can come and chat with me. When people get old, they always talk a little more. Nowadays, children don't want to listen to old people..."

Ignoring Severus' refusal, Xiao Ran insisted on feeding the chocolate bought from Honeydukes into his mouth, seeing his expression of swallowing a fly, and said in a good mood: "Okay, Dumbledore Principal Lido."

Dumbledore laughed, and the bell on the bow made a crisp sound, and then said to Severus: "Does Mr. Snape like chocolate balls? This is my favorite snack recently, and there are various flavors in it." Ice cream, I remember the last time I had a slug flavor, it was impressive..."

Severus was in full swing, and the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly.

"...get down to business, Mr. Snape," Dumbledore dragged his beard to change the subject, as if he didn't expect his old problems to make the child so angry, "Bobby hopes you can check in the infirmary for a few days, you know Yes, she's always been so caring, so I've given you the next three days off, good luck, kid."

As soon as the words fell, the queen's menacing voice came in from outside: "Dumbledore, what do you mean? Do you think I can speak ill of me because I can't hear you? This semester, no, never let me Make you a tooth decay potion, never!!"

"Oh, no, Poppy, I didn't mean that..." Dumbledore gave Severus a sad look, and rushed out quickly, probably to beg for mercy.

The infirmary was quiet for a while, and there were two bursts of laughter. The two looked at each other and smiled, obviously not expecting Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, the greatest white wizard of the twentieth century, to be so embarrassing.Usually they only saw Dumbledore's colorful and bright clothes and all kinds of cute bows on his beard, but due to the reputation of the great white wizard, they took it as a disguise, but who could be sure that it was not Deng Xiaoping? Where is Bullido's true face?

"Xiao Ran, since Headmaster Dumbledore is willing to come and see me, it means that he doesn't have much resentment towards Slytherin, but why doesn't he stop the fight between the two houses?" Severus asked with some doubts road.

"There are some things that he can't stop. Gryffindor and Slytherin were deadly rivals thousands of years ago, and now this antagonism has penetrated into the bones of the two colleges. Moreover, since the rise of the Dark Lord, the people headed by him The Death Eaters, the Order of the Phoenix headed by Dumbledore, and the Ministry of Magic are fighting more and more frequently, and more and more people are dying. Maybe there is someone's parents and grandparents among them... Seeing the enemy , or a friend's enemy, coupled with the usual friction, the two colleges will naturally become like this, even if Dumbledore is the greatest wizard, he can't stop his son and grandson from avenging their elders, right?"

Severus seemed to understand, he had been immersed in the ocean of learning since he entered Hogwarts, and he didn't understand many things very well: "Then whose fault is all this? I always thought that the school was a warm place. home, but when I arrived, I realized that the reality was far from what I expected.”

"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, even schools are no exception. Severus, you can't let yourself live in fantasy. In troubled times, you must have the most powerful mind and strength to protect yourself. Own."

"Then will you help me?"

Facing Severus' serious eyes, Xiao Ran felt as if he had returned to the past in a trance.

He learned about the place where the mermaid lived from the deep-sea blood whale, and when he ran to find his mother alone, the beautiful mermaid ignored his pleading eyes, and drove him away with the words "Your life is your own responsibility". out.Since then, he has never looked for his relatives again.

Xiao Ran smiled lightly, and replied: "Of course, dear Severus." Perhaps, it was God's will that he could come into this world?Just let him see what the future will look like for this child who took the opposite path with his help...

Flight Lesson ([-])

Said it was help, but actually Xiao Ran couldn't help at all.

He is a mixed race of high-level Chinese and Western blood. What he has learned is the power of the deep sea and the art of cultivation in the East, which is completely incompatible with the systematic learning of the magical world.But power always leads to the same goal by different routes. Xiao Ran told Severus some prerequisites for learning various powers, and asked him to pay attention to physical exercise and learn to control the magic power in his body.

It stands to reason that every kind of energy can grow continuously, but Xiao Ran found that once the wizards in the magic world reach adulthood, their magic power never grows again. The so-called strong strength is just a matter of combat effectiveness.

This can only show that there is still room for the magic power to increase, but the wizards have not thought of the direction of increase.However, Xiao Ran's comprehension technique is a level higher than magic power, but it can operate in the body to absorb the free elements between heaven and earth. Does it also mean that magic power can imitate this method?

"Hello, Headmaster Dumbledore, I'm sorry to interrupt your chat with Madam Pomfrey, I just want to ask about Severus' situation." Lucius' voice suddenly came from outside the door, only Madam Pomfrey He replied, "Mr. Snape is fine, Mr. Malfoy, if you want to see him, he only took the potion in 3 minutes, and he needs enough sleep to ensure his health."

"Your friend is here to see you, Severus, so I'll go now. If you want to see me, call Rielway in your heart. He has signed a contract with Hogwarts and will appear when needed." In front of his people." After Xiao Ran finished speaking, an arm stretched out from the window to wrap around him, "Remember to be honest and tell your friends how you feel in your heart."

Are you honest?Severus thought for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he saw a shiny platinum head, and a gorgeous aria sounded in his ears: "Dear Severus, I heard Gordon say that I have to Say, you did something rather un-Slytherin."

Did he come here to blame himself for losing face to Slytherin?Severus thought to himself, silently drooping his head and not answering.

"However... it's not impossible to go to Gryffindor once in a while for the one you love, but my friend, your appreciation level is really not very good. What's so good about that red-haired Gryffindor? Slytherin There are so many beauties here, as your dear friend, how about I introduce some elegant, beautiful and dignified girls to you?"

"...I never knew that the Malfoy family started their business by drawing red lines and being matchmakers, Mr. Malfoy." Severus was slightly taken aback, and replied sharply, "Or is it that the Malfoy family's property has been seized?" You have run out of beauty potions, and you have to rely on being a matchmaker to continue to support you in drinking beauty potions like water?"

"How is it possible? Malfoy is always the richest." Lucius raised his chin and said proudly, and then persuaded, "Severus, you are too impulsive this time, the professor will protect everyone at Hogwarts." The safety of the students, so when you are impulsive next time, please consider yourself first, I don't want to hear the news of you lying in the infirmary again."

"It is an honor to be a friend of the famous Malfoy."

"Don't change the subject of Severus, we're friends, so you can be honest, Slytherins are never polite to friends."

It's honesty again... Severus didn't think it was a bad thing, Xiao Ran was a powerful deep-sea mermaid, if he didn't really regard him as a friend, how could he get close to him, a greasy little bat?Malfoy is the No. [-] nobleman in the wizarding world, and even part of his approach to him is due to his talent in potions, but there are so many potion masters chasing and wanting to become Malfoy's subordinates, why would he condescend to be a half-blood friend? ?

Yes, he was willing to believe that it was all because of him, "Thank you, Mr. Malfoy." Severus finished speaking hastily, only to find that it wasn't that difficult to be honest.

Lucius pretended to be displeased and said, "You still call me Mr. Malfoy?"

"...Lu...Lucius." Severus opened his mouth and called out dryly.

"Very good," Lucius raised a pleasant smile, which gave Severus a bad feeling, "Then, as a friend, you don't mind brewing some beauty potions for me, right? The guy from the potion shop packed up his bags and fled abroad, and I haven’t had any beauty potions for two days, and I won’t dare to go out if this continues.”

"……"really……

"Of course, I will provide you with three materials. As a thank you, I think you will be interested in some small spells, right?"

"Yes, it's an honor to serve you, Lucius." Severus understood from Lucius' hidden meaning that this was specially given to him by Lucius so that he could fight back against the robbery foursome Otherwise, how could the person who wanted to make potions for Malfoy find him a first-year freshman—even if this freshman was a true potion genius!

After the two communicated, Lucius left calmly. As the head of the year, he needed to lead everyone to have a meal—the time he came to visit Severus was taken out between the end of get out of class and lunch—and then Will stop by the kitchen once and have the house-elf bring Severus some light food.

When Lucius left the infirmary, he said goodbye to Dumbledore and Madam Pomfrey politely, and then left gracefully.

It wasn't until the hem of his robe disappeared around the corner of the corridor that Madam Pomfrey said sternly to Dumbledore: "I am determined, Albus, you must take care of Potter and the others, Mr. Snape's health is very bad , is very detrimental to his future development!"

"You know, Bobby, I have asked James to talk to it several times, but it was useless. The conflict between Slytherin and Gryffindor is too deep." Dumbledore smiled wryly, "Although James admires me, but He is a very assertive child, and this is the age of rebellion, what he hates to hear the most is the words of the elders."

"Then let it go like this?" Madam Pomfrey said angrily.

"No, of course, maybe we can ask Lupine to talk, he is the only person who can control James and Sirius, but because of those fluffy little problems, he always has low self-esteem, afraid that James and the others will dislike him, I need to give He has a little confidence." Dumbledore blinked happily when he thought that James and Sirius always had nothing to do with Lupine's gentleness, in exchange for Madam Pomfrey's blank stare.

"I'm just a medical doctor, no matter what you do, as long as there are results." Madam Pomfrey thought for a while, and continued, "Mr. Snape's multiple bone bruises have not healed so far, and he still has serious nutrition. Bad, you have to find a way to make him take some potions regularly, how to say it is up to you, don’t just tell the truth, it can be seen that it must not be a good experience... Poor child, what is his previous life? How painful is it?" Madam Pomfrey, who loved little wizards, finished speaking, her eyes blushing.

"This can be handed over to Horace, he is the head of Slytherin." Dumbledore laughed, and immediately shirked all responsibility.

Poor Professor Slughorn, careless in making friends.

"So, Poppy," Dumbledore rubbed his beard and looked expectantly at Madam Pomfrey, "can you give me some moth potions? My face hurts..."

"Didn't you ask Horace to do it for you?" Pomfrey looked carefully, and as expected, he found that his left cheek was slightly swollen, but it was usually hidden by the beard.

"You know, he's trying to reject that person, and he's struggling every day."

"..." Madam Pomfrey was speechless. Facing Dumbledore's invincible starry eyes, she could only scold Slughorn over and over again in her heart, so Slughorn, who was drinking red wine in the office with a happy face, Raghorn suddenly sneezed very inelegantly: "Fortunately, no one saw it. Could it be that I have a cold?"

Halloween Banquet ([-])

After three days in the infirmary, Madam Pomfrey finally showed mercy and allowed Severus to go back to class.If the little lion of Gryffindor met these three days of experience, he would definitely tell his tragic experience in tears after returning home, while the sullen Slytherin future snake king could only secretly swear in his heart that what he would do in the future The potion must taste worse than Madam Pomfrey's, so others can experience it.

Severus, who was not going well at first, finally returned to class, but saw Lily and James sitting together talking and laughing, so his mood sank to the bottom.

When he dryly asked Lily about the "arrogant Potter" after class, Lily said sternly: "Severus, stop talking about James like that, he's just naughty, not arrogant." Arrogant, you are my friend, he is also my friend, I hope you can live in peace!"

live in peace?What a ridiculous word!Do the Gryffindor trolls know what it means to live in peace?Severus sneered in his heart, bitterness slowly spreading.

Potter likes Lily, this is a fact that every bystander can see clearly, so it is a matter of course that he will save Lily.If Lily heard that Potter felt that saving her was more important than saving Longbottom, would Lily praise him for being a "gentleman"?

What's more, he forgot the insults and provocations Potter and his three companions who were also domineering towards him, and asked them to live in peace...

Severus didn't know whether to retort angrily or stay silent, he seemed to see a gap slowly opening between the two of them.This gap not only represents the distance of the college, but also the understanding of the future and the values ​​of life.

What will the future hold?Severus refused to think about it, because he was vaguely aware that this would never be a good outcome...

Because Lily and James got closer, the time spent with Severus decreased again. It seemed that Lily was unilateral in every snub. Her enthusiasm, cheerfulness and beauty brought her many friends, and Severus She had only one friend at school... well, now maybe a shiny Malfoy, always bartering rare books for beauty potions—he was pretty much every A few hours a week is set aside to brew a few bottles. Lucius' demand for beauty potions is frighteningly high. He definitely drinks it as water!

Severus was the only one who went to the lake to read every day. Fortunately, Xiao Ran was with him. Xiao Ran's singing could always make him feel better.

The days passed slowly like this, and the time quickly came to the end of October.

Xiao Ran found that Severus was not as focused as before when reading a book, and would often stare at a page in a daze. This situation became more and more serious as the Halloween banquet approached. He thought he should have a talk with Severus. Tan: "Severus, what are you worrying about? Maybe you can talk to me..."

Severus came back to his senses, and quickly replied: "It's nothing." He lowered his head and continued to read, Xiao Ran shrugged, continued to slap the lake, and closed his eyes to enjoy the rare sunshine.

A moment later, Severus's hesitant voice sounded: "That... Xiao Ran..." "En?" "You said, if I went to a banquet on Halloween, what would be the best dress?" Xiao Ran opened his eyes in surprise, "Severus, are you going to a banquet?" He remembered that Severus disliked crowded places the least, was it different when he was a child?

Severus' eyes wandered, a little impatient and a little expectant: "Well, the professor requires all students to be present, and it must conform to the theme of Halloween..."

"It's pretty good, do you want to pretend to be a mermaid? My appearance should be in line with Slytherin's appreciation level." Xiao Ran swung the fish tail proudly, the silver tail shone in the sun, it was extremely beautiful !

"...Could it be that Mr. Xiao Ran wants me to become like you, emitting excess hormones everywhere? Or do you think gloomy, greasy little bats pretending to be mermaids can scare Hogwarts trolls into tears?! "Severus wished he could peel off Xiao Ran's head to see if it was achnatherum splendens. What made him have such a terrible thought...a greasy mermaid?

Xiao Ran put his lower body and Severus' upper body together in his mind, and was horrified to find that the effect was too terrifying, so he had to change his mind... Vampire, elf, werewolf?So corny!Zombies, Himalayan snowmen, goblins... Thinking about each one, and finally fixed on one of them, Xiao Ran's eyes lit up, looking at Severus like a [-]-watt light bulb, emitting a green light...

"What... did you think?" Severus asked warily, his eyes wide.

Xiao Ran replied with a smile: "Leave it to me, dear Severus, now, let's talk about your invitees."

After class the next day, Severus did not leave immediately, but waited at the door of the classroom, and stopped her when he saw Lily coming out: "Lily, can we have a word alone?" Alone is of course Cueing James walking next to Lily.

Lily smiled happily: "Okay, Severus." Talked to James, in exchange for 5 minutes of "free" time, if it was before, Lily would have scolded him bloody, but this This time, he just gave him a helpless look, then nodded in agreement, which made Severus' heart sink heavily.

The two walked to the edge of the corridor, and Lily asked, "What's the matter, Severus?"

"I... want to ask," Severus felt that his tongue might have been taken away by the cat, and his formerly sharp teeth were semi-paralyzed at this moment, he could only keep cheering himself up in his heart, "that's it ...I want to ask..."

"What?" Lily asked amusedly, "Severus, you seem to be very nervous, why do we need to be so polite? If there's anything to say, just say it!"

"Just wanted to ask..." Severus took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Would Lily come to the Halloween party with me?"

Lily's eyes widened, and she said apologetically, "Sorry, Severus. I already promised James, I thought...you don't like banquets, so I said yes when James invited me."

"No, it's okay." After Severus finished speaking, he turned and left the corridor, even though Lily called him from behind without looking back.

Passing through the corridors and stairs of the castle, and through the grass outside, Severus didn't go to the secret base, but found a more secluded grass and hid himself in it - when he was still in Spider's End Alley, After his father beat him the next time, he would go to the river to hide himself, licking the wound alone, from sad to numb.

That afternoon, Xiao Ran didn't see Severus, so he couldn't help frowning.

From the time he met Severus, except for the three days in the infirmary, Severus would come to the lake to read and chat with him every day, what happened today?

Xiao Ran waited by the lake until night fell, but he didn't see a familiar figure. He didn't know if Severus was being bullied by the Jiedao four again, so he entrusted Rielway to see if Severus was there. In Slytherin's bedroom.

Relway stretched his arms and legs to explore somewhere at the bottom of the lake—there was the location of the Slytherin lounge in the cellar—then replied in a low voice: "No, he's not here."

Where would he go then?Not in the infirmary, not in the potions classroom, Lily and James were still fighting... Severus was gone.

Xiao Ran pursed his lips and swam towards the direction of the castle. At this time, the darkness had completely covered the entire sky. Except for the place where the lights of Hogwarts were illuminated, the rest of the place was almost pitch black.As soon as Xiao Ran poked his head out of the water, he felt something hitting him, he reached out to catch it, it was a small box.

Relying on Xiao Ran's good night vision ability, he saw Severus curled up in the bushes by the lake, his black eyes like starry nights lost their spirit and looked empty, staring at the lake in a daze.

"Severus, why are you here?" Xiao Ran felt a little angry, in order to provoke those people who made Severus become like this - most likely it was Lily Evans - the Severus he knew Adams should be proud and sane, not an abandoned rag doll.

Severus focused on Xiao Ran blankly: "Xiao Ran..."

"I don't know what made the proud Severus look like this, but you should know that what a real Slytherin needs is an unyielding spirit!"

"I didn't give in..." "But you are questioning yourself! You are hiding here complaining about yourself, instead of trying to get what you want, Mr. Snape, you are trying to impress Merlin with your own experience, so that he will put the so-called Is my happiness for you?"

"I didn't! I was just thinking... what is a friend..." Severus said with a sob in his voice, "She didn't ask me, she thought I wouldn't like a Halloween party, and even with my enemy The fight was fierce...Xiao Ran, do you think she regards me as a friend?"

So it is!Xiao Ran sighed helplessly: "Of course she regards you as a friend, but a friend is not a partner, each has its own living environment and circle of friends, you can't ask her to have only you as a friend, can you?"

"...yeah." Severus replied softly.

"Would you like to go to the Halloween party?"

"No, I don't want to go to any banquet anymore!" Severus replied firmly.

Could this be the reason why the future Snake King has a dark face every time at the banquet?Xiao Ran felt that he was the truth, but this kind of unsocial habit is not worth advocating, so he stretched out his hand in front of Severus: "Dear Severus, don't you have a ready-made dance partner that you haven't even thought of inviting? "

Halloween Banquet ([-])

November 11st, Halloween, is a day for offering sacrifices to the dead.

For the little wizards of Hogwarts, it is a rare rest day. They can sleep happily during the day, and then dress themselves up as various magical spirits at night to participate in the Halloween banquet held in the Great Hall.

Whether it is a professor or a student, they can put down their classes and have fun on this day, although no one understands why Halloween is a rare holiday in the wizarding world, just as no one understands what Christmas has to do with the wizarding world.

Maybe it was Merlin's belief before becoming a god?Who knows!

With a decent smile, Lucius walked through the corridor of the boys' dormitory to the innermost part, and knocked lightly three times on a door that looked completely different from the front, but there was no response from inside.

"Huh? No? Where would he be going so early? Did he run away because he didn't want to attend the Halloween party?" Lucius glanced at the box in his hand. It was the dress he specially prepared for Severus, and A false brace that allowed Severus to look like a vampire.

"It's not a Slytherin's job to break away from the group, Severus." Lucius thought evilly in his heart, called the head of the first year, and explained a few words to him, so that he could see Severus Les told him that he was looking for him, and then hurriedly returned to his dormitory—there was only 10 hours before the banquet, and he himself had to make careful preparations.

But until the banquet was about to start, Lucius did not find Severus in the crowd.

At this time, the auditorium has completely changed, and the four pictures in the center
