CHAPTER XXVII
Although the sudden increase in body temperature still made Severus feel very uncomfortable, it was much better than the sharp pain in his body just now. This high heat made Severus feel as if he had drunk a lot of wine, and he felt like he was floating. Then it was as if it had returned to its mother's body, wrapped in warm hot water. He felt a pair of hands caressing him, a sense of security he hadn't felt since he could remember.
In fact, Severus's feelings are real. Gale saw that Severus had entered the stage of high fever, but the whole person was still lying in the pool of blood and water on the ground, so he directly moved Severus to float and put him in the bathtub that he had conjured with Transfiguration.
Looking at Severus in the bathtub with a bloody and fishy smell, Gale took off his clothes and poured hot water into the bathtub, and began to whitewash Severus.
After the initial cleaning of Severus, Seaver, who was being fiddled with by Gail, still did not wake up from the heat. Gale looked at Severus's half-length, somewhat sloppy hair and smiled.
A slight "click" sounded in the room after that. When Gail took care of Severus's hair and looked at it from a few angles, Severus looked very fresh and handsome, then nodded with satisfaction and began the second round of scrubbing of Severus.
When Gale finished the third round of washing Severus from top to bottom, he wrapped Severus into a spring roll with a large bath towel and put it on the chaise longue, and picked up the unfinished sandwich and continued eating.
About another two hours later, as the curfew approached, Severus finally woke up from the heat: "Damn it! Gail! Severus struggled to break free from the "spring rolls".
"Hey, slow down!" Gail saw that Severus was about to roll off the couch, and hurriedly stopped the other party's movements, "You don't have anything in there!" Don't worry, beware of catching a cold! ”
As he spoke, he handed his underwear and panties to Seaver. Severus took the clothes with his hands that had broken free, and he felt that he couldn't be worse! "Does Mr. Green know what it means to be secretive? What makes you so unabashed about the secrecy and privacy of your classmates? ”
"I don't think you're rolling around in the mud for a few laps, and I'm a little worried that you'll be uncomfortable!" Gale is also a little weak about Severus's accusations. However, bathing Severus is like bathing your own little nephew! After all, Seaver is only 11 years old, and he hasn't grown anything!
But then Gale thought that this was not China, but England. Their social situation is different from that of China, and they pay more attention to everyone's privacy and other things. So Severus's anger is a matter of course!
Seaver's current love is not so much anger as it is more appropriately described as being annoyed and angry. He can be sure that the qiē he experienced in the high fever stage is not his own hallucination, but someone really soaked him in hot water, gently stroked (cleaned) himself.
Annoyed and angry, Seaver can only hide his true feelings by being angry at Gail, the initiator.
Because of Seaver's anger and Gail's weakness of mind when he realizes that his behavior is inappropriate, there is an eerie silence in the room of requirement. Gail turned around, and after Seaver had "learned about Suoso" getting dressed, he lowered his voice and said, "I'm sorry, I just ...... Didn't think about it that much. ”
"It's curfew, how are we going back?" Severus had already calmed down his feelings when he was dressed, and now he used his own attitude to show that this article could be revealed.
As soon as Gail heard this, he knew that Seaver was not angry, and immediately turned around: "Use the room of requirement!" ”
There is no shortage of people in the world who have nothing to do. Soon after the two of them returned to the dormitory, they were caught by a knock on the door.
Apparently, it was noticed that Gail and Seaver had neither attended the Halloween dinner nor returned to the dorms, but had walked in the direction of the Gryffindor Tower (eighth floor) in the afternoon.
This made those who noticed this feel that it was a good opportunity to teach the two a lesson. They had already confirmed that the two of them had been empty several times in advance, and then they went to Professor Slughorn, the head of Slytherin, to catch the two of them for violating the school rules under the pretext of caring for their younger brothers.
What childishness! Gail saw Slughorn in the doorway and Alan Avery behind him, one of the reserve squibs, and knew immediately what was going on.
Not to mention that they didn't catch themselves and Seaver on the night tour, even if they did, at most it would be a point deduction and labor service. This kind of punishment is not painful or itchy at all, right? Even if it's going to be bad when the time comes, but you're planning to make a good plan, I've had a wall ladder! Am I just a wooden man who doesn't move when it's smashed?
If you want to rectify a person, such a means is really ridiculous!
"Dean, may I ask if you have anything to do with your seniors at such a late hour?" Gale ignored Avery's look of surprise as if he had seen a ghost, and asked Slughorn, who was blushing and expressionless.
Slughorn shook a few times because of Gail's question, and the fat on his cheeks drooped a little terribly: "Mr. Avery said that you and Snape were not in the room but went out for a night trip, what do you want to say?" ”
Gail couldn't help but smile: "I thought that the room I was in now would be the best word." Senior Avery, I know that when you deal with the Magic Riot, you are very angry because you are not as quick as me, an ordinary wizard, but I hope you and your friends will not be angry with me. I'm just an ordinary first-year student, and I can't afford to be stared at by my seniors every day and night. ”
Severus also walked to the door in his pajamas and robes: "Professor, Gail and I are not on a night tour, and we are planning to sleep now. "So you guys can go?
Slughorn wouldn't apologize to Gail and Sever, so after hearing the subtext of the sentence, he turned around and walked away. But Severus said something again: "Professor, you are the head of Slytherin, the Serpent King. What is a king? ”
Slughorn didn't take it to heart, and went straight back to his office - he wasn't that capable of losing his temper with the Avery family.
The door to the dormitory closed again, and Gail was dissatisfied with what Seaver said, "Not everyone who is the head of Slytherin can be called the Serpent King!" "That's one of the highest accolades of the Slytherins!" Not everyone can afford the word "king", as a king, it is to protect his people, and Slughorn is obviously not qualified at this point.
"I just think that a good potions master can't be too bad." Severus said with a frown.
Gail was silent for a moment before he thought of his words, and his tone was a little cautious: "He's not a bad guy. He's just an ordinary person. ”
At this time, Slughorn in the cellar was also full of irritation. The rise of the Duke of Darkness over the years has made him very uneasy. He suddenly remembered what he had taught him when he was a student of Duke Dark, and he became even more irritable. Severus's phrase "Snake King" echoed in his mind for no reason, making him feel a little frustrated.
Since when did he become the echo worm of the nobles? When did he become a proponent of the bloodline theory? He loves vanity and makes friends with potential students, but when did he start to have other meanings? Obviously, in the past, Green and Snape were his first choice for friendship, but why did they become the-for-tat they are today?
Slughorn fell asleep in a tangled and complicated state of thought. On the other end, Gail was lying on the bed frowning and thinking.
The lights were off in the dormitories, and even though the Slytherin dormitories were in the cellar, each room still had a window that looked out. At this time, the window had been covered by curtains, and only a small gap revealed a ray of moonlight.
Gail looked at the white lines reflected on the ground and was a little depressed. Tonight's incident is just a small thing, but it also shows that there are still some people who are always staring at themselves and ready to grab their pigtails!
Bella's withdrawal from school is a foregone conclusion, but her fiancé is still in school, as are many people who are as supreme as she is. Some of them are graduating this year. A dozen of them, after all their existing magic power is gone, must be back to attack Gael again.
It seems that he was still too reckless at the beginning. So, is it possible to delay the time for these people to become squibs? Just a little bit more mana in their bodies. Gail made up his mind and finally breathed a sigh of relief, planning to implement the plan starting tomorrow. Thinking so, Gail fell asleep.
It wasn't until the sound of Gail's long, regular breathing came, that Severus, who had been silent and watching Gale in the dark, slowly exhaled. Accustomed to the darkness, Severus was able to see Gale in bed.
He didn't know what Gale was worried about, but what had happened after the potion had taken effect today had brought him into the hyperthermic phase had bothered him a little. The feeling of the palm of his hand caressing his body in a trance was still in his mind, and for no reason, Severus felt his face heat up. He didn't know what was wrong with him, and it was like a little beast wanted to rush out.
Vaguely, he felt that his state was not right, so he took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness and uneasiness in his heart. He just tilted his head sideways and looked in the direction of Gail's bed, gradually calmed down, and fell asleep to the sound of Gail's breathing.
