Chapter 885: Awkward Good Guy
Seeing Potter's attitude, Snape knew that he would not tell him the true origin of the snake. Snape was wary of the snake that looked the thickness of a finger and was so docile to Potter. He couldn't forget the chill in his heart when it looked at him, to convince him that it was an ordinary magic snake, and that it was definitely an insult to Snape's intelligence.
Snape gritted his teeth secretly - the little cub of the Potter family will cause trouble for himself, and now he not only has to keep an eye on Quirrell who is obviously wrong, but now he has one more snake to be wary of! If Harry Potter wasn't Lily's child, if he hadn't brought that ridiculous feeling to himself...... Damn Dumbledore, damn Potter!
Pretending that he was the only one in the room to ignore Liu Yu's existence, Snape once again made a fierce "T" on the parchment, and Liu Yu doubted that with his strength, the parchment would be able to hold back without being cut!
Finally, Liu Yu was full, and even fed a few pieces of beef to Baqi, who was in the state of a snake.
"If you forget to come here tonight to confine, I'll let you know how many parts of a snake can be used to make potions." As soon as Liu Yu ate and put down the knife and fork, Snape coldly ordered Liu Yu to be evicted, and he couldn't wait as if Liu Yu was some terrible contagious germ that wanted to get rid of it immediately.
However, this time, Liu Yu was not deceived by Snape's cold appearance, but because of Snape's words, Liu Yu confirmed the fact that Snape really called himself to his office just to eat lunch for himself, and had no other meaning.
Although he seems very indifferent to the outside, in fact, Liu Yu is the kind of pure character who has revenge and resentment, and even if Snape appears to be indifferent on the surface, his concern for himself is real.
Although Liu Yu knew this when he read the original work, he saw it from the perspective of a bystander and experienced it himself. It still feels quite different. Therefore, for Snape, who showed awkward concern to himself, Liu Yu's expression was naturally not so cold.
Before stepping out of Snape's office door, Liu Yu turned his head and hooked the corners of his mouth at Snape very badly: "I prefer black tea to pumpkin juice, please pay attention to this next time you invite me to dinner." After saying this, Liu Yu also quickly closed the door, closing Snape's roar inside.
"What a bold child, it's the first time I've ever seen a student make Snape so angry and so calm." Medusa on the door sighed as she twisted her body.
"Really? It seems that you have one more thing to get familiar with in the future. Liu Yu said lightly, and then turned around and left when Medusa was stunned.
"Parseltongue?" It seemed that the petrified Medusa had recovered from the shock for a long time, it looked at the direction that Liu Yu left, and its body twisted into a strange shape: "I didn't expect that fifty years after that person graduated, I would still meet a parseltongue, and it was also the savior Harry Potter." That man's sworn enemy. ”
While sighing, Medusa's voice slowly became more joyful: "But then there will be someone to talk to me, so many portraits of Hogwarts don't have a parseltongue, ah, thank you Merlin!" ”
Not to mention the portrait on the door of Dean Slytherin's office, he sighed. Liu Yu had already returned to his bedroom. As soon as the door was closed, Baqi slipped off Liu Yu's wrist. Fell to the ground and reverted to the lean housekeeper with glasses. skillfully and quickly brewed a pot of black tea for Liu Yu. Yaqi's face was full of joy that could not be concealed.
"Going out makes you so happy?" Liu Yu glanced at Baqi, who showed "I'm very happy" from head to toe, and his mood improved.
"It's not just because you can get out." Baqi smiled softly and explained to Liu Yu the reason for his happiness: "I have been staying under His Majesty the God King all morning, and being able to feel the breath of His Majesty the God King at all times is what makes me the happiest." "For Liu Yu, Baqi has never hidden his true feelings.
"It's so easy to satisfy." After listening to Yagi's answer. Obviously, the curvature of the corners of his mouth is getting bigger and bigger, but Liu Yu's tone seems to be very disagreeable.
Baqi was still standing beside Liu Yu so respectfully, not caring at all about Liu Yu's insincere words.
"Since you like it so much, come to class with me if you don't have anything to do in the future." The most rear. When he left the dormitory to go to the afternoon class, Liu Yu still threw down such a sentence.
"Xie Lu, thank you, Your Majesty the God King." Baqi "swished" and became smaller again and wrapped around Liu Yu's wrist, and his voice responded softly.
When Liu Yu appeared in the Slytherin common room, the first-year snakes who had been waiting there immediately surrounded him, especially Draco, Bryce, and Pansy, who were "up and down" Liu Yu, wanting to see if there were any parts missing from him.
"Don't be so exaggerated." Liu Yu, who was standing there for everyone to inspect, had a crying and laughing expression on his face: "Didn't you just go to Professor Snape's office?" It's not a dragon's lair, what danger can it be? ”
The reaction of this group of bear children is too exaggerated, right?! However, everyone in Zhilu Dao only cared about themselves, so Liu Yu, who had never liked the contact of outsiders, did not wave their hands away.
When Liu Yu explained to them that he had just gone to Snape's office for lunch and was kicked out, everyone in the Slytherin common room was stunned as if they had been petrified in an instant. Would Professor Snape care if his students ate lunch or not? And that person is still Harry Potter that he has always looked down on?
"Oh, Merlin, Professor Snape can't have been impersonated by the wizard who drank the Polyjuice Potion, right?!" Draco wailed out the true thoughts of everyone present.
Don't be so exaggerated, Snape is actually a good guy who is twisted up! Liu Yu just said this sentence in his heart, if he really said it, he didn't know if he would be sprayed with blood all over his face. In this world, except for Dumbledore, who seems to be able to see through people's hearts, perhaps only Liu Yu is the one who knows Snape best, but unfortunately no one will believe him even if he says it.
After the afternoon class and dinner, Liu Yu came to Snape's office for the second time today. When I saw it, it was Liu Yu. Medusa at the door immediately twisted happily and hissed incessantly at him, apparently wanting to talk to him.
But Liu Yu was not interested in chatting with a snake other than Baqi, it was still a snake in a portrait, the exposed eye swept coldly, and the Medusa on the door stiffened, and the tremor that seemed to come from the soul made it immediately close its mouth and open the door.
The sound of the door opening immediately made Snape, who was originally writing something, raise his head, and his sharp gaze swept towards the door, and when he saw that it was Liu Yu, his pupils shrank first. Then the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking arc: "I thought someone was so bold as to dare to go to the office of gloomy Snape, it turned out to be our savior boy." Snape looked at Liu Yu for a moment: "Didn't the savior's reputation allow him to come to his humble Potions professor's office without knocking?" That's not a good habit. ”
Liu Yu didn't make the kind of move of going out and knocking on the door again, but naturally walked to the chair he had sat on at noon under Snape's increasingly aggressive gaze, and sat down facing Snape: "I was going to knock on the door, Professor Snape." Liu Yu said unhurriedly: "But the portrait on your door obviously didn't give me a chance." Before my hand could touch the door, it opened automatically. ”
Liu Yu's face, which had always had few expressions, actually looked a little innocent at this time: "So this is not what Professor Snape ordered?" "Medusa did open the door before Liu Yu knocked on it. But if Liu Yu hadn't looked at it with threatening eyes, it would naturally not have been frightened to do so. For this. Naturally, Liu Yu would not say it to Snape.
The young man in front of him tilted his head slightly to look at himself, his purple eyes flashing with an innocent light, this scene actually made Snape's next taunt a little indescribable. Realizing that he had relented to the little Potter cub, Snape felt ashamed, and originally only wanted Liu Yu to weigh the skin of the African tree snake, but now he immediately changed his mind.
"Grind the horns of that bucket of bicorns into powder. Immediately, immediately! With a wave of his wand, Snape flew in front of Liu Yu with a barrel full of two-horned horns. When to deal with it, when to go back and rest. The corners of Snape's mouth curled up in a malicious arc, announcing the content of Liu Yu's labor service tonight.
"Powder the horns of the two-horns?" Liu Yu's eyebrows furrowed. He looked at Snape with a strange look.
Snape thought that Liu Yu was expressing dissatisfaction and reluctance, and a smile appeared on his face that was almost pleasant, however, the smile on Snape's face had not yet fully bloomed, and Liu Yu's next self-talk made his face immediately clear and cloudy, and it was cloudy as if it was about to rain heavily.
Liu Yu's original words were like this - "Originally, I was ready to slice the caterpillar or pluck the toad skin, and even brought snakeskin gloves, it seems that I won't need it today." Liu Yu intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the place where the bucket of African tree snake snake skin was placed just now, there were obviously two buckets there, and the buckets contained the two potion materials that Liu Yu said, two potion materials that were very disgusting to handle.
At this moment, Liu Yu had a deeper understanding of Snape's cold-faced and soft-hearted Liu Yu, and a slight affection for Snape rose in his heart - this man is a model of older tsundere!
"Don't worry, Mr. Potter." Snape said with a gloomy face, even he didn't know what he was doing, and when he waved his wand over, he would subconsciously choose the snake skin of the African tree snake, the best bucket of potion materials. "If Mr. Potter prefers the caterpillar and the toad, I'll be more than happy to leave them ...... for tomorrow."
"No, I don't like them, not at all!" Liu Yu said word by word, saying that he is very serious now.
Snape was stopped by Liu Yu before he could say the last few words, and it was okay to make fun of Snape once in a while, but if it would make him suffer, it would be worth the loss.
Snape opened his mouth and was about to say, "I don't care if you like it or not", but after meeting Liu Yu's purple eyes that seemed to contain countless wisdom and secrets, the ghost closed his mouth and acquiesced.
Seeing this, Liu Yu's face finally showed a shallow, but very sincere smile - Severus Snape is really a good person. If everyone at Hogwarts knew that someone used the word "good guy" to describe a greasy, greasy old bat, I wonder how many eyeballs would fall off the ground......
Then, neither Liu Yu nor Snape spoke again, except for the sound of Snape flipping through the book every once in a while and the friction of Liu Yu weighing the skin of the African tree snake, the entire cellar fell silent.
But. Although no one spoke, the atmosphere did not seem awkward, both of them were seriously doing their own things, and for a while, this cellar, which had always been deserted and depressing, silently flowed with an atmosphere that could be called "harmony".
Snape seemed to have been infected by this atmosphere, and his heart had been straining since Lily's death, or even earlier, since he entered Hogwarts at the age of eleven and became a member of Slytherin. Miraculously relaxed. Snape never dreamed that the person who could relax himself at Hogwarts was not Lily, but Lily's son, Harry Potter.
However, nothing in this world is perfect, but there is a kind of human vocation that seems to be destruction.
"Bang bang bang bang ......" There was a knock on the door of the cellar. Breaking the silence of the room, it pulled Snape out of his relaxed state.
"You'd better have a good reason to ......," Snape waved his wand. Look at the green numbers that appear in the air. There was suppressed anger in his voice: "Come and visit your poor Potions Professor at seven-fifteen, if your brains are not stuffed with sagebrush, you should know that I am the head of Slytherin and not of Gryffindor, and I am not obliged to serve the energetic lion cub during my break!" ”
At the open door, the two Gryffindor cubs were frightened and trembling by the pressure that Snape had inadvertently emanated, and then in Snape's even more impatient eyes. One of the little lions, with freckles on his face, stumbled and explained, "We...... We're here...... Labor Services, Sri Lanka ...... Professor Snape ......"
Snape exclaimed, "It's 'Professor Snape,' not 'Snape...... Professor Snape', for changing the professor's name without permission. Gryffindor deducts five points. ”
Liu Yu, who was sitting quietly watching the play, raised his eyebrows again, if he remembered correctly, just from the time he entered school, Gryffindor had been deducted fifty points by Snape for this reason. But under the pressure of Snape's magic, how many students were able to speak fluently without stumbling?
As soon as the two poor lions explained to Snape, they remembered what had happened at noon, when he had imprisoned all the Gryffindor students. At this time, Snape suddenly felt like he was shooting himself in the foot, but saying the words was like spilling water, and it was impossible to take it back, and Snape did not regret what he had done.
However, the arrival of the two Gryffindor cubs affected Snape's mood very well, and his heart, which had just relaxed a little, tightened again, so he naturally wouldn't let the two cubs have a good time. "Finishing these two barrels of potion materials is the task of the two of you today."
You don't need to look up at Liu Yu to know what Snape let the poor two children do, it must be to deal with those two buckets of potion materials that he dislikes.
Sure enough, Snape's next words confirmed the correctness of Liu Yu's guess: "Mr. Brown skinned the bucket of toads, which is the material for tomorrow's class: Thomas slice the caterpillars, which will also be used in tomorrow's class." The implication was self-evident, that is, the two of them had to dispose of their own potions materials tonight.
"Oh no, Merlin, let me pass out!" Someone is going crazy: "Skinning a toad!" Or a whole bucket! Lavender Brown's little face turned white all at once, and God knew that the thing he hated most was a slippery creature, but there was a whole bucket of toads here!
Dean Thomas's face is not good-looking, and the caterpillar is not at all cuter than the toad.
Although the two children were very reluctant and full of resentment towards Snape, they did not dare to refute it in the slightest, and honestly squatted on the ground and began their own labor service with a white face. Experience had taught them that for Snape, appealing or anything would do nothing but double the punishment.
The two little lions who came to Snape's office for the first time to work and serve did not have the foresight of Liu Yu, and they came with dragon skin gloves, and their hands without gloves quickly became red and itchy.
Turning their heads to look at Liu Yu, who was sitting on the sofa, just weighing himself, and then looking back at himself who was sliced and thin, embarrassed, Brown and Thomas felt envious and jealous, and at the same time had a deeper understanding of Snape's partiality towards Slytherin.
There were four people in the cellar now, and although they were still doing their own thing, no one spoke, and the quiet atmosphere that had been around with only Liu Yu and Snape at the beginning could no longer be found.
It's over. Liu Yu put away the snake skin of the last piece of African tree snake, clapped his hands and stood up.
As soon as Liu Yu stood up, Snape looked over, and glanced at the African tree snake snake skin that had been weighed and divided into small portions, and Snape's eyes flashed with a vague flash of satisfaction - Potter is really talented in potions, just look at the speed at which he weighs the African tree snake snake skin, which is not much worse than himself, and accurately handling potions materials is the basis for being able to become a potions master.
"You can go back, Potter, at the same time tomorrow." Snape was kind enough to let Liu Yu leave first, and it was barely eight o'clock, far from the time he had said he was closed. (To be continued......)
