[HP] When a son dresses up as an old man

Chapter 16 People are stupid and have more money

Blinking his eyes, James was deeply moved. After so many years, it was the first time he saw the professor appearing in this image. It was so touching. He should bring a camera to record this scene.

Snape just wants to quickly find a crack in the ground to get in. The neat mother-in-law's head has been trimmed into layered hair, and the clean hair is loose and fluffy. Snape has a lot of hair, and the hair quality is quite good , black, thick and shiny, the barber kept sighing beside him, why didn't he wash such fine hair frequently?

"It doesn't look much better this way!" James pulled Snape over and looked at him contentedly. With Snape's black eyes, paired with this black hair, slightly pale face, and thin lips, James couldn't find it except that his nose was a little bigger. If there is any other problem, and whoever said that the nose is bad, he thinks it is very good.I don't understand why those people think the professor is not good-looking, and why he thinks he is so handsome.

"I've had enough of my embarrassment, James, you'd better prepare the coffin now." Snape warned in a low voice, as everyone around him stared at him, almost unbearable.

"It looks so good, we have to change clothes." James led Snape out, and went straight into a clothing store opposite.

"James Potter!" Snape was already annoyed, but there were so many Muggles and he couldn't use spells outside the school, and his physique couldn't match James, so he could only be dragged into it by force.

James picked left and right, made a set, and insisted on Snape changing it.A black and white plaid sleeveless sweater with a black shirt and a pair of black slacks underneath. James looked at his masterpiece with great satisfaction, it was completely reborn!Who dares to say that this kind of Snape is not good-looking, he will go to hell with that person!

"James, have you had enough fun!" Snape was wearing such...'fashionable' clothes for the first time, most of his clothes were his parents' old clothes.

"Look in the mirror!" James stood behind Snape, forcing Snape to look up and look at himself in the mirror.

The face is still the same face, but it is true that people rely on clothes, and Buddha depends on gold clothes. With such a dress, they really have a bit of temperament. Snape himself was very suitable for black, his hair was also neat, and his clothes were tidy, as if he had changed suddenly. James was slightly taller than Snape, and he stood behind Snape, with his hands on Snape's shoulders. The two of them stood together, their eyes met in the mirror, and there was a strange sense of harmony.

"Cough." Snape coughed in embarrassment. In fact, he was quite good-looking... It's not that Snape has no aesthetic ability, but he has always paid little attention to his appearance and never took care of himself.

"Have you had enough fun? It's time to eat." Snape was so hungry that his chest was on his back.

"Yeah." James nodded, pulling Snape away satisfied with a pile of shopping bags.

With Snape dressed up like this, he was much more energetic, coupled with his slightly gloomy temperament and his unsmiling face, he was particularly eye-catching in the crowd.Standing with James, the two of them turned heads more and more.

"Have you ever eaten at McDonald's?" James suddenly asked when he saw a McDonald's on the corner of the street. At that time, there were not many McDonald's in the UK, only a few.

"What?" Snape gave James a puzzled look.

"McDonald's." James pointed to the red, yellow and yellow signboard. What Snape hated most was the bright eyes. Seeing the small shop frequented by children, Snape frowned.

"what?"

James had such an expression on his face, Snape had never eaten in a restaurant outside, and his life was so monotonous that it was like living in the Jurassic period.

"Let's go to McDonald's!" James dragged Snape into McDonald's, Snape's life should be a little more popular, he was lifeless at such a young age.

The brightly colored decoration, the hustle and bustle of people, and the sunlight shining in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows make the whole store look vibrant. James ordered a bunch of hamburgers, fries, Coke and the like, and the two of them sat among the kids and ate.

Snape looked at the children around him, and his head started to hurt. Besides robbers, he hated little buns the most!The children were buzzing in his ears like flies!

"You don't like children?" James asked, it was hard to imagine that Snape, who hated kids so much, would end up as a teacher.

"It's not that I don't like it." Snape gave some brat who accidentally bumped into him a hard look, almost making him cry.

"It's very annoying!" Snape declared solemnly.

"If you become a teacher from now on, won't you be bored to death?" James smiled viciously.

"I'm not going to be a teacher, not even die!" Snape said firmly.

James' heart skipped a few beats. It's the kind of person who hates being a teacher. He gave up his ideals in life because of him. He is willing to guard his lover's son in Hogwarts. He hates being a teacher so much, but he loves his students so much and stays up late to correct homework. , will seriously study the best teaching plan, and will replace Albus in the darkest moment to guard Hogwarts, becoming the last firm line of defense, protecting his most hated kid.

"Why are you looking at me?" Snape was stared at by James, his eyes were disgusting, James' eye circles were red, what the hell was he doing!

"Severus, you're really fine." James lowered his head and took a sip of Coke, the sweet taste diluted the bitterness in his mouth.This time, the professor can have his own life, he can do the things he likes, neither he nor Hogwarts will be the fetters of the professor.

"I'm eating, please don't make me sick!" Snape gave a chill, it was disgusting enough that James actually said he was fine, my God!He diverted his attention and took a bite of this so-called hamburger. It tasted pretty good, and he solved one of them three times and two times, feeling much more comfortable in his stomach.

The intertwined shadows of the two formed a warm scene, James raised his eyes and glanced at Snape's youthful face, his heart beat faster and faster, inexplicably hoping that such a peaceful life could last forever, just him and him, the two of them... ...Maybe from this time on, life has been different.

There was a sound of car horns on the street. James looked over and saw a black limousine parked outside.

"The butler is here to pick us up." James quickly finished his share of food.

"You still have a butler." Snape raised his eyebrows, he was indeed a child of a rich family.

"Well, you also know that my parents passed away, and now the housekeeper is taking care of the house, and there are a few house elves." James said.

Snape didn't make any more sarcasm, James' parents must have been very kind to him, he still remembered the first time he saw James, he had intuitively identified him as a boy spoiled by his parents, high-spirited, confident, neat On the outside, he seemed to be pampered by thousands of people, and he was very envious of James at that time.Later, they disagreed and almost fought. From then on, he hated this much-loved boy. He didn't know the sufferings of the world, was domineering, and took other people's pain as his own happiness... Since when did they start? There has been a change, James seems to be a different person, being beaten and scolded by him but not saying a word, dueling with others for him, being criticized by the whole school...

"James, I actually told you about your duel with Lestrange." Snape said calmly suddenly.

James froze for a moment, yes, they had given Filch a sleeping potion at the time, but they were still discovered in the end, and it turned out that it was Snape who informed him. James lowered his head and smiled, as expected in the professor's style.

"You're not angry?" Snape wondered at James' lack of response.

"Angry." James said exaggeratedly, his eyes met those dark eyes.

"Why aren't you angry! I went so hard with others for you, but you lit me up in the backyard. I'm so sad." James pretended to be sad, very depressed.

Snape was silent for a long time, in fact, it didn't matter why he and James got into trouble.The former enemy was suddenly reborn, and Snape didn't even know if the person in front of him was really James or not?He no longer felt James' contempt and disgust for him, maybe... the death of his parents hit James too hard, so James grew up?

All this is unknown, Snape followed James into the black limousine, which was very spacious and comfortable, and the driver was an old man with silver hair, wearing a well-regulated black suit and white gloves, with a kind smile on his face .

"Kevin, how are you doing recently?" James greeted relaxedly. This was the first time he saw the Potter's butler. He had heard about it many times before and had seen it in photos. He seemed to be a shrewd old man. I hope it doesn't show the horse's feet.

"It's still bearable." The old housekeeper smiled.

"Is this young master's friend?"

"Well, Snape is my 'very good' friend at school!" James put his arm around Snape's shoulders to emphasize the word "very good", Snape pushed James away in disgust, don't always hug, there is not much between them familiar.

"So it's Mr. Snape. I'm the butler of the Potter family, Kevin Potter. The young master has caused you trouble at school." The butler's opening lines are always the same. In fact, he has basically never heard of the young master and a friend named Snape. There is one enemy, who is always talking about snotty nose and stinky rice bucket. Could it be the same person?

"He did cause me a lot of trouble." Snape was not polite, and gave James a shame as soon as he came up.

"The old man can just call me Severus." Snape said indifferently, he was never a pleasant person, and he was not good at showing favor to strangers, but as a Slytherin, Snape's etiquette was always in place.

Severus Snape, it was indeed the same person, the butler nodded understandingly, if he remembered correctly, this Severus should be a Slytherin, Potter was from the Griffindor family, everyone including the butler was from Griffindor.The butler began to wonder, could it be reconciliation?Or is the young master planning to play tricks on the family?

He is just a housekeeper. The young master has always had a bad temper, so he can't control it.In fact, it's not that he has any objections to the young master, it's just that he thinks that the young master has been spoiled since he was a child. It's okay to be rebellious, talk back and be unfilial, but when the old lady passed away, the young master still didn't show much sadness. Immediately set off to go to school with those friends, which really made the old housekeeper very dissatisfied and chilled.And those friends of the young master, he has seen that Sirius Black quite a few times, that person is bohemian at best, but immoral at worst, messing around with men and women all day long, the old man still prefers obedient children, but The young master likes it, and the master and wife are not good at saying anything, so they hold it like a son and speak well.The old butler hopes that the young master can make some serious friends who love to study and have serious business, and don't always associate with those dubious people.

The car flew up slowly not far after driving out of London, passing through mountains and ridges, and the magic space not far away was looming.The mysterious ancient castle stands proudly on the top of the mountain, and magical creatures can be seen from time to time in the open and dense jungle. Snape looked down the car window, and the huge manor loomed in the shape of a hexagram, with the castle in the very center.

"Welcome to Potter Manor, Severus." James was so excited.

Snape glanced at the smug guy next to him, couldn't help but roll his eyes, couldn't hold it back for a moment, and fell into James' trap, he firmly believed that he had been lured into this place.But thinking about those potions, I felt much more comfortable. What a sacrifice he made for academics!

"Don't get too excited, and state in advance that if Mr. James Potter has any personal accidents during this holiday, Severus Snape will not be responsible, and you will be responsible for everything." Snape said and gave James a blank look.

"Yes yes yes, Lord Snape."

"Also, I keep my own accounts for all my expenses. Don't worry, I will pay you back slowly, and I won't owe you any money." Snape stated again that he hated owing others, especially James. .

"Ah..." James gave Snape an aggrieved look.

"Do you need to be so clear, Sirius and the others often..."

"They are them and I am me!" Snape interrupted James' thoughts.

"Like I said, I won't spend your money, and my brothers have to settle accounts, not to mention our relationship, we can't even be considered friends." For Snape, there was something between the robbers that made him What I don't understand is that the money relationship is very confusing. It was common for Sirius to run away from home every now and then. Sirius didn't want the Black family's money. Snape could understand that he had integrity, but Sirius didn't use his own family's money but went to use the Potter's money, which made Snape very puzzled . What does Sirius think James is?bank?Take advantage of?The same goes for many others, Lupine's family is very difficult, so James is usually responsible for Remus's expenses, basically living the same life as the young master in school.Snape, who also has a difficult family, believes that if the family is difficult, he should save money and not to owe others favors for those vanity things, it is a symbol of cowardice.As for Petter, don't say anything, that guy is a fool, he usually likes to take advantage of it very much, it seems that he is by James' side just to gain momentum and save face.Seriously, he doesn't like any of James' friends, including James!

James could clearly see Snape's impatient look, and yes, given Snape's personality, it would be strange if he could accept his money.

"James, maybe you think I'm judging a gentleman with a villain's heart." Snape said suddenly.

"But I think that if you are a really good friend, then you should not be involved in money. Money is the fruit of a person's labor. If your friend does not respect your labor, then he will not respect you personally. In the past, Snape would never have said what was in his heart, but recently James has been really nice to him, so he kindly reminded him that James spends like water on his friends every year, just like It's like buying friendship with money.Everyone says it's tacky to talk about money, but it's ridiculous that you can't even get through a day without that tacky stuff.

James is stupid, he never thought about this level... between friends... James suddenly remembered Ron, yes, Ron never spent his money after growing up, and after that he helped Ron buy things, Ron would be very angry. At that time, he still felt that Ron was stingy and had too much self-esteem, but when he thought about it carefully, if he really respected Ron, he shouldn't use money to insult Ron's dignity. If he couldn't even do this , There is no qualification to talk about good friends.

In just a few words, it hit James' weakness, and also touched the heart of the old housekeeper!No!That Sirius always came to the Potter family to cheat food and drink, and even said complacently that he refused to use the Black family's money.And Lupine, who refused at first, but then slowly became a habit.Now the Potter family has raised four children at once. Although the Potter family can afford it, the old housekeeper can't see the people who are taken for granted. The master and madam are not caring, as long as the young master likes them, they won't say anything , but as a recipient of favors, one cannot take other people's favors as due.

The old butler had a good impression of this young master Snape in an instant. Although he was a Slytherin, he still understood the truth!

The car slowly stopped in front of the castle, opened the door, and several house elves came out to drag the luggage away. Even James couldn't help but praise when he saw his house, it was so on time!

Snape finally realized the gap between himself and James, it was more than just a little bit. Looking at James' face again, Snape's mentality was balanced again. God is fair. If you open a window for you, you will close the door, like James This situation is standard... people are stupid and have a lot of money.
