Gloria specially asked for a bottle of very fresh perfume from the guardian lake fairies around Avalon, and was going to give it to Lily, and after thinking about it, she chose a potions recipe book from hundreds of years ago from her study at home, and copied it word by word.

Soon it was the appointed day, Lily and Snape waited in the woods, watching a carriage slowly drive by in the distance, it was a very retro carriage, the two white horses pulling the carriage did not have a trace of hair, looking very simple and noble, but there was no trace of magic fluctuations, Lily did not understand, but Snape understood very well that the Pendragon family was an ancient nobleman, and not a pure-blood nobleman that Slytherin was pursuing.

Gloria briskly got out of the carriage, "Hi Severus, hi, Lily. ”

Lily waved happily, "Hey, Gloria, your carriage is so beautiful. ”

Gloria smiled in thanks, and Snape nodded slightly.

Gloria took out two wrapped boxes from the carriage and handed them to each of them, "Thank you for inviting me over to play, this is a gift for you." ”

Snape scoffed at what she said "you", let out a snort from his nose, took the gift from Gloria's hand, and gently pinched it, it looked like a book, which made him feel a lot better, and Lily was very happy, "Thank you for the gift Gloria, can I take it apart?" Gloria smiled and nodded, Lily excitedly ripped open the package in her hand, "Wow! it's so beautiful! It's so fragrant, I've never smelled anything like this." ”

"This is made from plants that are unique to my house, and I think it will suit you. ”

"I love it! By the way, I've brought a lot of food, let's eat over there!"

Gloria looked in the direction Lily was pointing, a large leafy tree, and she nodded.

A few people were eating cream cakes and cookies made by Lily's mother under the tree, chatting about their opinions on various magic from time to time, and the two knew that at the end of the last semester, Gloria was studying with Professor Flitwick, and they also asked some things about the fairy elves with interest.

Severus didn't talk much, most of them listened silently to the two of them, and only interjected from time to time when he heard something he was interested in, Gloria noticed that when Severus heard what he was interested in, his two black eyes seemed to turn into two deep whirlpools, dark and unpredictable, as if all the light had disappeared in his eyes, and Gloria felt that her soul seemed to be sucked in.

The sky gradually darkened, the sunset sprinkled on the surface of the lake, sparkling, the golden light reflected in the blue eyes, every strand of hair seemed to merge with the sunset, with the flow of the eye waves, the afterglow of the sunset exuded a bewitching beauty, the heavens and the earth were reduced to a foil, Snape turned his head a little crampedly, as if he realized for the first time that Gloria was so good-looking.

In fact, with the awakening of the bloodline, Gloria's appearance is gradually changing, if the delicate and delicate porcelain doll in the past, the princess in the tower, is now the elf in the mountains and forests, every move is soul-stirring, but it is full of vitality, fresh and clean.

Snape came home, and in an instant he was free from his happiness, and he quickly recovered to the poor and gloomy teenager who was at No. 19 Spider's Tail Alley, where the house was eternally disheveled, filled with the smell of alcohol and mold, and the occasional men's angry scolding and women's cries, all of which made him feel depressed and unbearable.

He walked back to his attic in silence, clutching a gift box in his hand, blue with a blue bottom, a golden ribbon, and a brilliant and beautiful color just like its owner, Snape was in a trance for a moment, and opened the box, and a book without a cover lay quietly inside, the first page read:

"To my dear friend Severus"

- Gloria

He opened it, and the delicate font came into view, not the flower font she commonly used, and the font was as regular as a textbook, just on the first page, there were many potion recipes that he didn't know, and there were also principles and annotations of the ancestors below, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect Gloria to give such a desirable gift, and there was a card under the box, the flower font of mathematics, " Severus, this is the magic recipe I found at home, it was left by my ancestors hundreds of years ago, I can't give it to you, but I did copy it carefully, there is absolutely no mistake, I hope you enjoy this gift. ”

Snape pursed his lips, picked up the card, thought about it, and carefully tucked it into the book.

A little afterglow shone through the dirty window on the young man who was reading seriously, and he frowned, as if he was a little dissatisfied with the light, and pulled out a well-packed box from under the bed, which he had bought for his own wages by making potions, and he had to carefully hide it every day so that it would not be taken away by his parents, who could not afford anything.
