No.22 Gold Coin 3 (Reverse)
So Snape, what do you want me to say about you......
You deserve it all because you can't catch up with Lily, don't you see that even the good-natured Opal can't stand your rotten mouth!
Hum!
PS: V Danai, don't smile at me so gloomily, according to the outline, you still have a few chapters to play...... Give me back, bastard!

Gold Coin 3 (Reversed): Vulnerable. 、

For Snape, his life in recent times can only be described as "things have not gone well".
Not to mention that Opal didn't know why, as if he was about to drown himself in a book and lose his normal routine—there shouldn't be anything wrong with that Malfoy kid staring at him anyway. Just when he went to the Forbidden Forest some time ago to find medicinal materials equipped with sleeping potions and nutrients, he was teased by the silver young beast, which was enough to make his face darken by three points.
God knows how that damn half-giant trained his three-headed dog to attack people indiscriminately. And that yellow tooth...... It's been a long time since that half-giant brushed his teeth!
Originally, the injury suffered some time ago due to the idiot's self-inflicted cleverness of Quillo was almost healed, but it didn't take long for that guy to give him a leak, and he would even remember to use the "Imperius Curse" on Filch to let him enter that hallway!
If it weren't for the fact that he happened to pass by when he was about to go to the medical wing because he was worried about Opal's condition, it is estimated that Filch would have become the first victim of the three-headed dog whose brain size was smaller than that of a troll, and whose whole body was of no other value except for medicine.
But thanks to this, the wound on his leg that had been almost the same was torn again—and now he didn't even have to think about the use of going to Madam Pomfrey, which was great!
If that's all there is to it, why was his embarrassed appearance seen by that bastard Potter kid when he was doing the initial treatment of the wound with the help of Filch! Originally, it wasn't a big deal, and the next time he took Potions class, he could adjust it by asking that Potter kid a few simple questions.
But the problem is that in today's Quidditch match, someone is casting a curse on the broom on which the Potter boy is sitting.
Sure enough, because they haven't experienced anything major for a long time, the brains of Hogwarts teachers have degenerated into slug slime? I don't want to think that so many people - even the older Ravenclaw students are involved - if you cast "Reducio" on the air in the same place, that is, directly under the rampaging broomstick, almost 10 meters above the ground, even the air will become a diamond-like progress?!
They want to see the savior fall off the broom and then fall directly 10 meters above the ground. If you have that idle kung fu, you might as well cast a "compression spell" on the air, and you might as well cast a spell on that broom!
Although Snape himself hated the Potter son, he had promised to take care of him, and although he looked like that damn bastard from head to toe, the glasses were completely similar to Lily, so he could only reluctantly cast the curse, but- damn it, it was better not to let him know that the bastard actually burned his favorite robe! Otherwise, even if he is a Slytherin student, he will have to deduct points!
Finally, he waited for this farce-like competition, but when he was about to go back, he found that the Dark Mark on his arm was starting to burn with pain, and the Potions Classroom and Office were now in the cleaning stage, and he didn't want to go to the Medical Wing again - and this Dark Mark was not easy to show, so Snape came to Moon Lake in line with the principle of proximity, and wanted to make himself feel better through the water of the lake, which has a purification function itself, but ......
Who can tell him!
Why has he been hiding all this time, and basically only comes out at night (Tianyin: Professor, it's not like I'm complaining about you, you really can't think that it's safe during the day just because you've only met Opal at night...... The silver unicorn is out now!

[Ah...... Should I say good afternoon or long time no see? ]
Because he knew Snape's "sullen" personality too well, if he didn't speak first, then he would never hear the other party say a word first, so Opal finally broke the deadlock between the two of them and spoke in a relaxed and slightly mocking tone.
“…… Why are you here? ”
As Opal spoke, Snape couldn't continue to feign silence, so he squeezed a few words out between his teeth.
[It's almost winter, and I'm saying goodbye to some of my friends.] ]
With his brain racing, Opal, who had completely recovered from the shock at this moment, was naturally unwilling to let go of this rare opportunity - just kidding, it was rare to encounter a chance like Snape to throw himself into the net, and those who did not seize the opportunity were stupid!
So after apologizing to the animals around her, and promising to make up for them after the beginning of spring a small singing party, Opal's eyes were full of smiles, and she moved her body as if inadvertently blocking someone's path, [Speaking of which, why is Snape here?] ]
"It has nothing to do with you anyway."
Snape's demeanor and tone were as hard as a thousand-year-old cold stone - but this attitude was insignificant to Opal, who was in unicorn form at the moment.
[Are you hurt?] ]
Sniffing his nose, Opal was a little puzzled by the smell of blood mixed with a faint smell of medicine, and then subconsciously sneezed - of course, in Snape's eyes - and then looked at Snape's legs.
Could it be that the injury from being bitten by a three-headed dog with Quillo is still not healed? Hasn't it been nearly a month? Or is it ...... He's hurt again?
"If you can't smell blood, just flash me away, I don't want to be charged with hurting a unicorn."
Moving his injured leg back without a trace, Snape struggled to ignore the burning pain coming from the Dark Mark on his arm, and said in a hoarse voice.
Something seems to be wrong......
After walking around Snape suspiciously, Opal raised his head, looked at Snape with blood-red eyes, and said seriously: [Snape...... You feel very wrong right now, what's going on? ]
"As I said, it's none of your business."
With a cold face, Snape, who was in a somewhat irritable mood at the moment because of the pain of the Dark Devil Mark, pursed his lips, and after looking away from Opal, he said quickly, "Although I don't know what to see about Moon Lake approaching winter, but at this time, you don't obediently stay in the forest to prepare for your hibernation, and run out to become the target of some energetic winter hunters?" Or do you want to try what it's like to be embedded in a Muggle bullet again?! ”
[that...... Unicorns don't use winter ......]
Taken aback by Snape's rare long sentence that wasn't about potions, Opal, who was three points weaker in momentum, opened his mouth - but his voice grew smaller and smaller under Snape's glare, and he reflexively swallowed back the last few words.
"Really? I think your IQ is about the same as that of a cold-blooded reptile, so I thought you were a special case among unicorns. ”
Snape admits that he was spitting venom on purpose, but he can't do it now - the increasing pain of the Dark Mark on his arm suggests that the man is still alive and gradually regaining his strength, and he has heard of the recent attacks on unicorns in the Forbidden Forest.
In every sense, he didn't want the horse in front of him to be quite simple (Tianyin: The professor really misunderstood...... The silver cub was caught up in trouble.
[Snape ......]
Opal sniffled, and his eyes moistened quietly as he watched Snape, [Even if you don't want to see me, you can't wait to get me away...... Nor do you need to ......]
Say something like that, right?
She was genuinely worried about Snape's situation, and whoever it was would not feel good to be maliciously rejected in return.
But even though there was water vapor in his eyes, Opal still subconsciously thought that he shouldn't cry and couldn't cry, so he just stood there blinking his eyes vigorously, trying to dispel all the water vapor that had not yet fully condensed - but this appearance fell into the eyes of others, but it was a vulnerable appearance that was being strong alone.
Although a large part of a person's personality is innate, no one can deny that environment and experience are also important factors in the formation of a person's personality - and they account for a considerable proportion.
Even if she was reincarnated and reborn, Opal, who grew up in the forest since she was a child, although she had the memories of being "Situ Lingran" in her previous life, but her relatively simple life over the years also made those memories blurry - her attitude towards life in school was more based on a subconscious intuition to make judgments.
What's more, "Situ Lingran's" own social circle can't be considered good, if it weren't for the guidance of "Senior Sister Qianwei" who is a senior, I'm afraid that in such a school environment, she would only become more introverted and autistic.
In general, Opal in this life is more simple than "Situ Lingran" in the previous life, but he is also stronger and purer.
And Opal's mind at the moment can be said to be only slightly more mature than her current age by 2 to 3 years.
Although he has the title of "Son of Gaia", it is not possible to tell what it will bring to Opal before this ability is awakened.
It can be said that the current Opal is just because he has a vague memory of the previous life, so he likes to think more about things when he encounters them, is a little more curious about some things, has a stronger hands-on ability, is a little more sleek in dealing with people, and can be rational when things come to make choices.
Stripped of the flashy crown of "Son of Gaia", Opal is just an ordinary girl who is a little precocious.
Therefore, she will also have quite negative emotions such as injury, irritability, and grievances, but she always suppresses this feeling with her excellent willpower, but suppression does not mean that it will disappear. Those negative emotions are just silently dormant, waiting for a suitable catharsis
One so moment.
In fact, the feeling of missing something that had haunted Opal's mind since she went to school had been a dull ache in her heart - but thankfully, she had met Draco, Fred, and even Pansy. In a way, these people made her completely idle, in a sense, to wonder what was the reason for that sense of absence.
But there's no denying that this sense of absence is slowly affecting Opal's state - which is why she's been increasing her dose of "boosting potion" every morning lately.
Although Opal had decided to follow the clues she had obtained from Harry because of her own curiosity and to pass the time, it was now a headache for her to get out of the mysteries one after another, and it was difficult for her to get out of it - because her curiosity and her self-esteem would not allow it.
But she couldn't even say anything about the confusion and annoyance she could say except Nagini, with whom Draco and Fred were so well along, for Opal wasn't sure what kind of trouble would get them into if she said it.
Perhaps even Opal herself didn't realize that in her relationship with Snape in unicorn form, she had unwittingly regarded him as a reliable pillar to confide her thoughts on—even if these things were to be told under other guises, and there were so many animals in the Forbidden Forest that a little lie didn't hurt.
Some time ago, Snape didn't know why he had been avoiding her, and in a sense, it was like a worse situation for Opal, who was already depressed because of those things that could only be held in his heart.
Today's hard-won chance encounter, Snape's cold and blunt attitude can even be described as "full of hostility" Lay, like a hole in the gate of "sanity" in Opal, which made her very rare emotions out of control.
Belch...... He seems to have gone too far......
Because of Opal's unexpectedly fragile appearance, a conscience called "guilt" sneaked its head out of Snape's venom-filled heart, but he immediately smashed it back into its previous form with a stick.
"Anyway, you give me a good chance of going back to your forest to improve your IQ, and you won't be allowed to come out until the beginning of spring."
After saying this, Snape forced himself not to look at the eyes that were even brighter with tears in his eyes, like the blood rubies of the finest pigeon, and turned his head and dragged his legs away.
{Miss Opal, are you all right?} }
After confirming Snape's departure, Nagini climbed onto Opal's neck and hissed.
[Nagini, I'm fine......]
After Snape's magic disappeared from her circle of perception, Opal, who had regained her human form, hugged Nagini's cold body wrapped around her arm and buried her face in it, [though I knew he didn't want me to get into trouble...... But...... But......]
She's just an ordinary person, and she feels uncomfortable because of other people's words!
And that person is still ...... Still is......
{Miss Opal, don't cry......}
Nagini rubbed her head against Opal's cheek, {if Miss Opal is upset, Nagini will be sad too......}
[I didn't cry ......]
The pigeon's blood-red eyes were full of mist and finally disappeared after blinking hard.
Hugging Nagini's body tightly, Opal spoke sullenly, [But, let me do this...... Hold back for a while, okay......]
{Okay.} }
