dumb wizard

It feels like I'm dreaming until now.

Today, the 130th touched the stitched wound on his throat for the eighth time—is he about to be able to speak?is this real?

It's hard to describe the feeling.

Expectation, fear, joy, fear, all kinds of complex emotions are intertwined.

If you count the long years of wandering as a wandering soul, Xiu probably has existed for hundreds of years.In the past hundred years, except for just becoming a wandering soul and discovering that he can speak in the state of a soul, Xiu talked to himself with great interest for a few days at the beginning, and Xiu never spoke again.

When he was a wandering spirit, no one could see him or hear him.Xiu could bear the loneliness, no one talked to him, and after the initial excitement, he was able to talk and didn't want to.After rebirth, he was born dumb. No matter how angry or sad he was, he couldn't change the fact.Fortunately, he is used to it, and is ready to be silent for a lifetime.

But now, he was told that he would be able to make a sound again soon!

Xiu couldn't help but touched his throat again - if he had any extravagant wishes for this life after falling in love with Snape and being together, it would be to be able to call out Snape's name with his own mouth and tell him own love.

Sign language and words are often not enough to express emotions in a single sentence.

"Xiu, is the wound hurting?" Snape came out from the kitchen, saw Xiu touching the stitched wound on his throat, and asked worriedly.If it wasn't for the fear of affecting the effect of the magic circle, he would not be willing to let Xiu endure the pain. He could definitely brew a painkiller potion with no side effects.

Xiu shook his head, and smiled at him with the corners of his lips pursed—his bigger movements would tear the wound now, even if he could bear the pain, he was not stupid enough to make himself suffer unnecessary pain.

Snape put the bowl in his hand on the table, looked carefully at his wound, and reassured after making sure that there was no problem.Picking up the bowl again, scooped up a tablespoon of porridge and brought it to Xiu's mouth.

Xiu couldn't eat anything for the first two days after the operation, and now he can barely eat some liquid food.

Hugh had barely been fed, and Snape's seemingly perfectly natural behavior made him look away awkwardly in protest.He felt that his lover seemed to be too careful, his wound was on his throat, as long as he was careful when cooking, he would be fine, but his lover did not allow him to enter the kitchen at all.It's even more exaggerated now, and she still wants to feed him!He didn't break his hand!

It's just that his protests were completely ignored - Snape's hand was firmly holding the spoon in front of his mouth, without any intention of letting him do it himself.

After a stalemate for a while, Xiu reluctantly compromised, and obediently opened his mouth to let him feed.Snape raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction and started feeding.

Xiu slowly swallowed the porridge with almost no rice grains, his throat felt a little uncomfortable, but he could bear it.The feeling of starvation is uncomfortable, the stomach curls up and stirs, that feeling is too hard to bear!

The warm porridge soothed the convulsed stomach, Xiu narrowed his eyes and rubbed his stomach, feeling extremely comfortable.Snape's heart softened when he saw his cat-like cute reaction.

But Xiu is too thin.

Snape frowned slightly.Xiu was already skinny, and he didn't feel real when he hugged him. He seemed to have gotten thinner in the past few days, and he felt sick when he hugged him just now.But Xiu can only eat liquid food now, there is no way to fatten him up, and he can only wait for a while.At least 30 pounds heavier than it is now!

Xiu was completely unaware of the man's plan to raise him into a piglet, so he accepted the feeding comfortably, looked at the man's gentle black eyes, and felt that the pain in his throat could be ignored.

After more than half an hour, Madam Pomfrey came to check on Xiu. He was in good condition and left satisfied.

The Christmas vacation was over, and Xiu's wound was still not healed, so Snape directly asked Dumbledore to give him a leave of absence, and asked Xiu to recover before going to class.Before Dumbledore could even say a word, Snape flung his robes and left.

"Al, you Potions Professor has such a temper." After Snape left, the handsome blond man who had recovered his original appearance came out from behind a door and said jokingly.

Dumbledore glared at him angrily, "Don't say a few words!" The headmaster was already very depressed, he just wanted Snape to convey his greetings to Xiu, but he was rewarded with a back, and now this guy is still here Sow discord!

Grindelwald, who was yelled at by his lover, could only touch his nose and think he was unlucky.

Xiu didn't come to class on the first day after the holiday. Draco and the others were very surprised. They went to the Ravenclaw Tower to inquire, but they were told that Xiu hadn't come back.The three little wizards were a little worried, and unanimously decided to go to the cellar to have a look.

Draco didn't know the password of the cellar now, so he could only knock on the door.After a while, Snape came to open the door. Seeing them, his face didn't turn ugly, "Come in!"

It seems that Professor Snape is in a good mood today.The three thought silently, glad they didn't hit the muzzle of the gun.

After entering the door, they saw Xiu Anran sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, a thick book and a small plate of pastries in front of him.

"Xiu!" Biyan Xiaoha didn't see her friend for the whole vacation, and now she got excited and rushed over.He didn't succeed though - Snape grabbed him by the collar quickly and flung him onto Draco.Draco caught him just in time to steady himself before the two fell into an embarrassing ball.

Snape snorted coldly: "Take care of your hands and feet! Potter!" If he rushed over just now, wouldn't the repaired wound open?

Hugh patted his hand, Snape frowned - Hugh just indulged this kid Potter too much!

Xiu smiled at his friends and pointed to the opposite sofa for them to sit down.The three little wizards sat down neatly, and then Hermione saw the injury on Xiu's neck sharply, and exclaimed, "Xiu, what's wrong with your neck?"

Draco and Harry immediately focused their attention on Xiu's neck, and their expressions changed at the same time, "What's going on?"

Xiu smiled and pushed the people around him to explain.Snape snorted dissatisfiedly, and reluctantly said: "After an operation, Xiu will be able to speak soon."

The term surgery was no stranger to Muggle-born Hermione, but Draco and Harry, who had always played the role of house-elf in the Dursleys, were not, but that wasn't the point.

Merlin!What did they hear?Xiu is about to be able to speak? !

Simply incredible!The three young wizards were very shocked. You must know that they regard Xiu as very important, and they have thought of many ways to repair the things that cannot make a sound. They have checked a lot of information and asked many wizards with high achievements in healing. Hermione also went to several major Muggle hospitals to ask, but the answer was all impossible.

Harry jumped up immediately, "Great! Hugh can talk!" Draco was also very excited, but his aristocratic upbringing made him barely maintain his demeanor.Hermione clasped her hands, her brown eyes glistening, "Thanks Merlin!"

Xiu was moved.He felt that he had no regrets in his life.A person who loves each other, three best friends, and even he is about to be able to speak!

But the three little wizards didn't get excited for long before Snape gave the order to evict them.For the first time, Harry dared to refute the dreaded potions professor: "Professor Snape, we haven't seen Xiu for a few days, can't you let us stay a little longer?"

Snape's death glance swept away, and Harry suddenly felt chilly, "Xiu needs to rest!" The reason was high-sounding, but in fact, it was just His Majesty the Snake King's desire to monopolize.

The three of them had no choice but to bid farewell to Xiu one by one, and left unclearly and unwillingly.When he was finally going out, Snape suddenly pulled out a white mass from nowhere, and threw it at Harry: "Take this thing away!" Harry took a closer look, and it was the little snow fox, which was caught by the I was dizzy from being thrown, and I haven't recovered yet, otherwise I would have resisted long ago.

Xiu didn't have time to stop his lover from throwing his pet to others, seeing Snape slam the cellar door directly, shutting three people and one beast out, he couldn't help but smile helplessly.

Snape looked awkwardly at Shang Xiu's half-smile look, and said dryly, "That snow raccoon is not serious, I'm afraid it will hurt you."

On the sixth day, the stitches could be removed from the repaired wound.

Madam Pomfrey carefully unwired the repair, examined it, and was relieved to find that the restoration was excellent. "It's almost there, Xiu, but don't try to make a sound these two days, after all, that thing is not your own, and it will take some time to get used to it."

Xiu lightly touched the slightly bumpy throat, and nodded.He has been doing this for decades, and he doesn't mind waiting a few more days.

Although Snape was eager to hear Xiu's voice, he also knew that this matter should not be rushed, so he could only suppress his anxiety and wait.

Madam Pomfrey teased them both, causing Xiu to blush before leaving happily.

When Madam Pomfrey said that Xiu could try to speak, it was already three days later.

Xiu felt his heart beating rapidly, and the unprecedented tension made his palms sweat.Snape held his hand and looked at him encouragingly.After cultivating his concentration, he opened his mouth and then closed it - he found that he didn't seem to know how to drive his throat to make a sound.

"Take your time and try again." Snape guided him patiently.Xiu squeezed his throat, pursed his lips, coughed twice, and opened his mouth, "..." There was only a slight breath.

Xiu was a little anxious, and coughed hard again.

He obviously had a wonderful feeling, which made him sure that the operation was completely successful, and he could already make a sound, but now he found that he had forgotten the instinct to make a sound.

Snape was more anxious than he was, but he couldn't show it, or the Order would be even more nervous.He could only appease Xiu's emotions over and over again, guiding him little by little.

"...S..." Xiu finally uttered the first syllable, Snape held his shoulder, his voice trembling: "Yes, that's it, continue!"

Xiu took a deep breath, his lips trembling, "S... Se... v" His pronunciation was not standard, but Snape could still tell that he was calling his own name.

"Huh..." Snape didn't even know what to say to express his feelings, so he could only hug his lover tightly.Never in his 36 years of life had he thanked Merlin like this.

I can speak!

Xiu's mind was full of this idea.He heard his own voice. He didn't know whether it was because of the adaptation period or other problems. His voice was a little hoarse and not pleasant to hear.

But this voice sounded like heaven to Snape's ears.
