HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

Lycoris watched Snape go upstairs, then turned and walked towards the nearest window.

The blackout curtains were opened, and the outside was still a thick ink color, not just because of the evening.

Cokeworth is an industrial town. The technology in the 1990s was not backward, but it seems that this industrial city has been forgotten.

Licoris opened the window and looked out the window. There were chimneys standing in the sky as far as the eye could see. She saw billowing smoke coming out of the chimney, and she seemed to smell an unpleasant smell on the tip of her nose.

The girl knows that this is her imagination, but...

She raised her hand and looked at the fingertips that had just touched the window sill. These black and gray are all real.

It rains a lot in the UK, and the temperate maritime climate is rainy. Finally, the weather will be better from June to September, but the fresh air brought by the good weather does not seem to favor Cokeworth at all.

The prevalence of pneumoconiosis here must be quite high, Lycoris thought to herself.

When she closed the window and drew the curtains, she saw lights lighting up the neat road.

The girl took out her wand and cast a spell, and the air in the room suddenly became fresh.

Licoris turned on the light in the living room at the entrance, and light came.

Luckily it still works, a little better than I thought.

Licoris thought there were no electrical appliances in this house, but she was just trying to see if this thing could be turned on.

But when Licoris arrived in the kitchen, she was speechless. The kitchen felt as if no one had ever used it.

In fact, it is not accurate to say this.

There are visual signs of use, but no one has come in to use it again for a long, long time.

Are the refrigerators, microwaves, ovens, etc. all broken?

At this time, Licoris was really glad that there was such a thing as magic in the world.

She used her beech wand to cleanse the entire kitchen. At the same time, all the various products that were not working were fixed.

After the girl finished everything, she looked at her pocket watch and saw that it was almost seven o'clock.

He took out the pie from his pocket, peeled off the parchment paper, placed it on a clean plate, and put the plate and plate into the cleaned oven. He took another bowl of water and put it aside for reheating.

It was originally planned as a late-night snack, but now it was dinner. Pie probably never thought that he would end up like this.

The rest are just snacks and cannot be eaten as a meal.

Licoris thought, let's just have a casual meal tonight and go outside to take a look tomorrow.

However, she didn't have any high hopes for the taste of the food she could buy outside. This place was in the suburbs, and she wouldn't be able to apparate.

The little girl was working noisily below. When Snape returned to the room, what he thought about was that no one else had lived in this house for too long. He then apparated to London, intending to buy some daily necessities.

Severus Snape's life was as boring as a pool of stagnant water.

When I work, I live in Hogwarts offices, classrooms, and staff lounges.

Summer vacation is all about going back to Spider End Alley, reading, making potions, and sleeping.

Until he returns to Hogwarts and repeats his previous work life.

He has always been alone.

Live alone, walk alone.

If he had to add some other places, his life wouldn't be much different.

For example, going to Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, he occasionally needs to buy and sell things. And... I was invited to give lectures at Malfoy Manor.

London.

A bedding store that looks great.

"Please wrap this one up," Snape turned around and looked to the other side, "Those guys are also here."

I don’t know what she likes, it seems like she doesn’t have any special preferences.

For example, what color do you prefer, what kind of food do you particularly like.

Snape could only choose colors that he thought were "suitable for little girls".

"Do you have many boys in your family?" The shop owner thought he would be very fierce, after all, he seemed not to be trifled with. But he didn't expect that he would buy several three-piece suits in a short time, ranging from pure cotton to silk.

She went to strike up a conversation with a big client with bright eyes.

"A little girl."

Snape didn't even know there was a hint of showboating in his tone.

"Little girl? Like this kind of dark color? We also have some light colors, do you want to see it?" The shop owner looked sharply and saw a little black stain on the customer's shoes, guessing that it was soot. “If you’re coming from an industrial city where the weather is always bad, light colors make you feel happy.”

Is that so?

No wonder she wanted to decorate the room.

"Please get some more light-colored ones, thank you."

"Welcome to visit us next time!" The shop owner was very enthusiastic and smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his teeth.

Snape carried many three-piece suits and quilts to an unobtrusive place nearby and put them away.

If you only have bedding, it doesn’t seem to be enough.

Next time let her choose by herself.

Snape was not good at choosing these and planned to let his daughter choose on her own.

Snape was about to go back and smelled the sweet smell. He walked a few steps and saw an exquisite dessert shop at the corner.

I thought of the girl eating pudding. She seemed to like it very much?

On Christmas Day, she ate the pudding bite by bite with a flower-handled silver spoon...

The man looked at the desserts in the window and opened the door.

"Ding dong dong -" the wind chime rang again, and the man was holding two caramel puddings in his hand.

When I go back, I want to tell her that she can't just eat the pudding given by other boys, but I can buy it for her.

When Snape came back, he put everything on the table in the only guest room and, of course, used a cleaning charm.

As far as I can remember, no one has ever lived here.

Who wants to visit relatives and friends in a house where someone is drinking and experiencing domestic violence?

Snape couldn't help but think about the past.

"Father, it's time to eat!" The girl called him at the top of the stairs, pulling him out of his negative mood.

An apple pie was evenly cut into eight pieces and placed on the dinner table. She didn't know where she found a tea set with black tea in it, and a small saucer with a handful of milk, honey and sugar in it. A small bowl filled with air-dried beef strips, which seemed to be her snack.

I forgot to pack some food and came back, Snape thought as he stood at the top of the stairs.

"Dinner," Licolis pointed at the apple pie, "Father, don't worry, this is something you won't get tired of."

I asked the school house elves to make it myself. They were very happy and so was I.

"This is dessert, and this is tea," Licolis pointed at the candies and black tea, "some sense of ritual."

The girl smiled and said, "And this."

She raised the two glasses in her hands, with green leaves floating in them, "Pepper mint, mint water with pie."

"You have this for dessert."

Snape walked up to the table and held up the two crème brûlées he was holding and handed them to her.

"Is it for me?" Licoris put down the cup and took it. How did he know that he liked caramel pudding?
