Snape is a sullen man!

Xiao Ao, when will you not fool people...... (Opal: Isn't it your request that I fool people?) Celestial Sound: →→)

======================

King's Cross Station, United Kingdom

、

Severus felt that he had a bad year lately.

It would have been nice to receive a notification from Hogwarts, but the problem was ...... Lily, who is also a wizard, chose to go to the station with her family because she was worried about her sister Penny.

Although the appointment was made to meet on the train, the fact that the initial invitation was deflated, and the confirmation that in Lily Evans's mind, she might just be a friend who also had the gift of wizarding, and that she was far inferior to her family in terms of weight, still made Severus feel quite shocked.

Although he also knew that this situation was normal, it did not prevent him from being a little depressed about it. Besides, compared to the different path from Lily, what he has more trouble with now is his own salute.

This home in Spider Tail Alley is just a shelter from the wind and rain for him, and there is such a father, although there are books left by his mother to read, but he can't use magic at will in this home, so he just maintains the situation of "living people" here, and doesn't have much thought to clean, so it is common sense for spiders, cockroaches, and mice to regard this home as a comfortable nest.

Severus himself didn't care, but when the damned rats took the suitcase he had managed to find and the clothes he could wear to grind his teeth, he couldn't help but care.

Fortunately, the suitcase can still be used if it is barely repaired, but the clothes that have been bitten out of the hole or something......

Tut! It's better to wait until after school to see if you can fix it with magic, but if it doesn't work, you can only patch it.

Should he say that it was fortunate that his coat was not bitten off?

Severus reminisced about the contents of the textbooks he had already read, and dragged his creaking suitcase, which seemed to fall apart at any moment, on the road to King's Cross Station.

When he reached the outskirts of the station, Severus was about to follow the flow of people into it, when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him.

“？”

Severus, who was half a beat slow to react, could not recover when he was slammed into the side, and the already precarious suitcase instantly collapsed, followed by a silver-white shadow flashing in front of his eyes.

[Sorry, borrow me for a while, don't tell people you've seen me.] ]

A faint breath reminiscent of the forest came, accompanied by a hurried whisper.

"Huh? Uh......"

In the blink of an eye, Severus, who had been reacting to what had happened for a long time, looked at his scattered luggage with great depression, and squatted down to pack it up.

But before he could pick up two things, he heard hurried footsteps again, this time in groups of at least three, wearing strange black cloaks and masks.

"Where did that guy go?"

"I don't know, I saw her going in this direction."

"Just ask."

After a short few words, the man in charge of the three kicked Severus's suitcase and said unceremoniously, "Little ghost, have you ever seen a white-haired girl running like this?" ”

If Severus originally had the idea of "idleness", the approach of the three of them and their tone and attitude immediately made him choose the direction of leaning towards the person who would apologize to him.

“…… Over there......"

Raising his hand and pointing in the opposite direction, Severus continued to pack his luggage with a blank face.

"Chase!"

So the three of them immediately chased in the direction that Severus was pointing.

[Thank you.] ]

Shortly after the three men left, a pair of black leather shoes appeared in Severus' vision of looking down to pack his things, and then the soft voice that he had heard that seemed to ring directly in his head sounded again, [helped me a lot.] ]

“…… If I were you...... Won't come back here. ”

Because he didn't like to look up at people's perspectives, Severus couldn't help but put down the things in his hand and stood up, looked at the person, and then was slightly stunned, "...... You ......"

What a little ......

Originally, Severus thought that the person being chased should be an adult, but he didn't expect that the other party was just a girl who seemed to be about the same age as him, or maybe even smaller. His long silver-white hair was simply tied back behind his head, and he was wearing a casual dress with silver trim on a black background, which looked very expensive, and his eyes were like rubies...... Staring at him with interest.

"What's there to see!"

Stung in the eye by the girl's clothes, Severus immediately went into a state of high alert.

[Sorry for soiling your stuff.] ]

But as if completely oblivious to his attitude, the girl smiled kindly at him, and then waved her hand slightly—Severus's gaze caught a flash of ...... in the palm of her left hand Magic wand?!

The next moment, the luggage that had been scattered on the ground immediately seemed to be picked up by an invisible hand, and soon returned to the half-open suitcase, and then the suitcase that originally looked very shabby also became clean and tidy after automatically closing.

"Scourge and Reparo?"

Severus's eyes lit up instantly, "Silent curse? And it's a second shot? This is an advanced spell technique, right? You're also a wizard? ”

But then he reacted, and looked at the girl with a hint of vigilance in his eyes - since he was a wizard, and he could use such advanced spell skills, why was he chased?

[It's a hassle to solve, and you won't be able to catch the bus.] ]

As if to see what Severus was thinking, the girl smiled and shrugged her shoulders, "I'm Voti Yunik, what about you?" ]

How did she know that it was just a slight tease, and that those who were supposed to belong to the lower class of the Death Eaters would catch up like flies that smelled fish? Originally, I just wanted to catch someone to study the Dark Devil mark, but I didn't expect to stab the hornet's nest.

Severus ...... Severus Snape. ”

[Can you call you Syph directly?] Severus felt long and a little tongue-twisting. ]

"Severus."

[Huh?] Can't you call it Seaver? ]

"Severus."

[Okay...... It's stingy. ]

Pouting, Opal walked beside Severus, who had picked up his suitcase again, [Severus is also a new student at Hogwarts, right?] ]

"I said ......"

Frowning, Severus looked sideways at Opal, [Can you please not speak this way?] ]

This way of speaking as if it was ringing directly in his head made him feel very unpleasant, and he always felt as if he would see through any ideas he had.

[Ah, I'm sorry.] ]

With a slightly apologetic smile, Opal stuck out his tongue, [I have a congenital deficiency in my vocal cords to make a sound, so I can only do it this way...... Did it make you noisy? Then I'll keep it as quiet as I can. ]

“！”

Severus's pupils shrank slightly, "You're dumb...... Uh, deaf and dumb?! ”

Because this realization was too shocking, his question could be said to be blurted out, although in the end he changed to a more elegant wording because he woke up in time, but it was still too rude after all.

[yes.] So I think it's good to be a wizard, at least if I talk in this way, I will only be talked about by people, but not by people. ]

Opal's smile was gentle, not caring about his faux pas, and the last word "monster" made Severus unconsciously agree with him.

"Don't worry, how could those Muggles possibly understand the greatness of wizards."

Perhaps because of his innate superiority as an able-bodied person, Severus's attitude towards Opal can be regarded as unprecedentedly kind—although it is still not as good as his attitude towards Lily, "Where's your luggage?" ”

[It has already been consigned.] ]

Opal blinked and walked straight into the platform of the ninth and three-quarters of the platform, but when she turned her head, she didn't see Severus walking beside her, so she had to fall back again, [What's wrong?] ]

"Nothing ......"

Severus stretched his face, pursed his lips, and couldn't tell that he had just seen Opal directly "hit the pillar" and was timid to keep up, "Let's go." ”

Close your eyes and open your eyes.

Then I saw a crimson steam locomotive parked next to the platform packed with passengers. The sign on the train reads: Hogwarts Express, eleven o'clock.

Although he had been mentally prepared, Severus couldn't help but look back in the direction he had entered—the place where the ticket gate had been turned out to be a wrought iron archway with the words: Platform Nine and Three-Quarters. The smoke of the steam locomotive swirled over the chirping crowd, and cats of all colors walked through the feet of people. Amid the humming of the crowd and the cacophony of dragging heavy luggage, owls also chirped and chirped.

Although it wasn't crowded, it took Severus and Opal a while to get on the train. However, Severus felt that he didn't know if it was his own delusion, at the beginning, it was obviously he who led Opal forward, but when he finally entered the carriage and took a seat, it was Opal who led him?

But...... The environment of this carriage is indeed quite good.

The solemn tone of dark green with a quiet silver pattern, occasionally embellished with gold lines, although most of the patterns are snakes, but it gives people a high-end restrained low-key solemnity, and the carpet of the carriage is also very comfortable to step on, for a four-seater carriage, it is indeed a pretty good place to rest.

After putting the suitcase down, Severus remembered something, and looked slightly embarrassed at Opal, who had already taken his seat and picked up the magazines in the car that had been placed on the decorative rack of the car.

[Something?] ]

Noticing Severus' gaze, Opal looked puzzled.

"I want to borrow a friend and make an appointment with her to meet in the car."

Although he didn't understand the meaning of the pattern-like decorative patterns on the seats of the carriage, even if he didn't react at first, Severus could easily guess that the girl in front of him would definitely not be an ordinary wizard, so Severus was actually a little nervous about his request.

After all, strictly speaking, he didn't do Opal much help, and now he is sitting in the same carriage on the train, and there is no particularly good friendship between the two people, this is obviously a private request, even if it is refused, it is reasonable.

[She?] Yes, the journey will be boring if there are only two people, and it is good to have one more person to talk to. ]

To Severus's surprise, Opal agreed to his somewhat unreasonable request, waved his hand and turned his gaze back to the book in his hand, [but you have to remember that this is the 19th carriage of the Hogwarts Express, if you get lost, just ask the flight attendant, I don't want to wait to go out and find someone.] ]

{Miss, this person feels so familiar to me.} }

After Severus had put his things away and walked out of the carriage to find Lily, Opal crawled out of Nagini's wrist, hissing as he spat out the letter.

[As I said, we are now close to twenty years ago, and the future Hogwarts Potions professor just now.] ]

Opal nodded his little head with some amusement.

{The black guy with the smell of a dead snake?} It feels a lot worse......}

[Poof!] ]

Opar, who was sprayed directly by Nagini's adjective, sighed helplessly, [Although he does smell of potions, it's not that smoky, right?] ]

{Doesn't Mademoiselle know that snakes have a very sensitive sense of smell?} }

[The question is, does your nose do anything other than ventilate...... Uh, well, it's me who forgot that the snake's olfactory cells are all on the tongue......]

Opal, who reflexively wanted to plug it back, was speechless after seeing the snake letter that Nagini spit out, [But Nagini, are you sure you didn't inadvertently lick the potion on his body to comment on that?] ]

{How could I possibly make that kind of low-level mistake that is not famous!} }

What was met was Nagini's wagging head in protest.

Just as Opal was about to say something, a knock on the door with the characteristic slow rhythm of the nobles suddenly came from outside the carriage: "Is there anyone here?" ”

Wizard nobles?

Although there was a moment of confusion, Opal quickly reacted - it should be the students of Slytherin House at Hogwarts who noticed that there were passengers in car 19, which had been unoccupied before, so they came to investigate the situation.

After gently straightening her clothes, Opal walked to the door and opened it in the waiting interval between knocks, but the long platinum-blond hair of the person standing outside made her slightly stunned: [Malfoy? ]

She really couldn't be blamed for being so stunned, after all, she had lived at Hogwarts for the past three years, but there was a little master with platinum blonde hair dangling in front of her every day - and most importantly, in the entire British wizarding world, she really hadn't found a second family with this kind of platinum hair, after all, the Malfoy family was the best-preserved wizarding noble family with the Qi family's lineage.

Well, the French Dracule family mixed with the blood of the Meiwa is not counted, the Meiwa bloodline is just a degenerate species of the mythical fantasy race banshee siren, and it is not even a planetary fantasy species (Tianyin: The planetary fantasy species of the earth is a dragon and a phoenix), and when it comes to mystery, it is definitely not comparable to the remnants of Zhu Yue, who are the planetary fantasy species, the Qi tribe.

Lucius Malfoy, who was standing outside the door, was slightly stunned for a moment when he saw Opal, because of her peculiar way of speaking, but he quickly reacted and bowed to her: "It seems that you have heard of my family. I'm Lucius Malfoy, a fifth-year student at Hogwarts' Slytherin House (Celestial: I'm setting Lucius to be Hogwarts in 1966, and to 1971, when the parent generation was in, it would be exactly the fifth year, and Narcissa was one year younger than Lucius, in the fourth year this year, and Bellatrix had already graduated at this time, so he didn't know the so-called "Walty" when he met Opal in the third year. Nice to meet you. ”

[Voti, Voti Yunik.] ]

Opar didn't seem to notice Lucius's slightly constricted pupils after noticing her etiquette, and said softly, [I'm out for a trial this time, and I'm going to spend seven years of my studies at Hogwarts. I can't export the clan name at this time, so please forgive me. ]

"It doesn't matter."

Forcing himself to suppress the shock in his heart, Lucius showed a decent smile, "The heir of the hidden family has been born again, which is a prosperous time for our wizard aristocratic circle. I still know the links in this, and we won't ask more about things that shouldn't be asked. ”

[Thanks.] ]

To Lucius's words, Opal also replied with kindness, and at the same time thanked Draco, who had called himself the "weather vane of the wizarding aristocracy" in the past, and the group of Qi tribes in the secret realm of the lake who were full of food and supported the boring and moldy Qi tribe to make up for their various rituals.

"But I see Miss Yunik, your carriage seems to be empty, would you be interested in going to the other carriages?"

[No, I have my own companions too, so I should be here soon.] ]

Opal curled the corners of his lips, [Strictly speaking, I am not from the British wizarding circle, and this admission has also been specially approved by the Hogwarts higher-ups, and it is said that I have been together for nearly seven years, so I am not in a hurry. ]

"That's a shame."

Despite being politely refused, Lucius maintained a fairly good demeanor, "Well, I won't disturb your rest, the Slytherin of Hogwarts welcomes you to join." ”

[It's natural.] ]

For this subtle overture, Opal naturally nodded generously, and Lucius was also satisfied with it.

After this episode, Opal closed the door and sat back in her seat, continuing to read her book.
