[HP] look at you

Olivia and Snape stayed at Tara's house for a month before rushing back to England before school started.

When leaving, Tara held Olivia's hand reluctantly, her grape-like eyes were wet.Olivia pinched his nose amusedly: "It's not that I won't come, I still have a lot to learn from your grandpa."

Tara was not very happy: "Just to learn from my grandpa?"

"It's up to you." Olivia added.

Tara wrinkled her nose: "You're kidding me, don't think I don't know."

Snape snorted inwardly.With her personality, it would be nice if she is willing to coax you.

Tara bared her teeth at Snape as if she heard it: "Don't be complacent, just wait and see."

"Tara doesn't seem to like you very much." On the way back, Olivia and Snape said.

Snape pretended to be surprised: "Is this something unusual?"

"Not quite the same."

Snape's words and deeds are indeed easy to cause stress reactions, but Tara has a bad attitude from the first moment he saw him. Could it be that he has divined something?It can't be that in the future Snape will catch that brat and hang him, right?

Snape said coldly, "I don't care what the difference is."

For Snape, it didn't matter whether others liked or disliked him, or rather, he was more used to dealing with unfriendly glances.

Olivia glanced at him with a smile: "Then, are you satisfied with this vacation?"

"I'm assuming, you want to hear me say very satisfied or exceeded expectations?"

"No, I'm satisfied if I can get an A from you." She didn't expect to get any flattering answer from this picky guy.

"Unfortunately—" Snape took out the blanket and got ready for bed, "I hit E."

Olivia raised her eyebrows in surprise, looked at Snape covering the blanket with his back to her, and smiled softly.

After returning home, before Olivia had brought out the gift, Elton hurried up to meet him, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Malfoy has passed away."

Olivia stopped laughing, walked quickly to the study and sat down.

There was no childish expression on her face at all, and she asked in a particularly indifferent voice: "What's going on?"

"In the second week after you left, the Death Eaters suddenly attacked several wizard families who refused to submit to the Duke of Darkness. The organization was orderly and the actions were swift, so it should have been premeditated." Elton explained concisely and quickly, " A total of 11 people were killed, two were seriously injured, and they were evacuated before the Order of the Phoenix and the Aurors arrived, so there should be no deaths on the Death Eater side."

Olivia tightened her shoulders: "Among the dead, is there a little wizard?"

"...There are two, a Gryffindor, fifth year, and a Hufflepuff, second year."

There was a moment of silence in the study.

Elton continued: "The news of Mr. Malfoy's death came out on the third day after the attack. It is said that the cause of death was..." He paused subtly, "Dragon Pox."

Olivia blinked: "Huh?"

Dragon pox is similar to Muggle chickenpox. Wizard children can get it easily, but it is not fatal. It leaves a few pockmarks on the face at most, which is easy to cure.There are also people who didn't get dragon pox when they were young will be unlucky and get infected in old age, when it will be more dangerous.But Abraxas was only in his 40s, and he was still in his prime no matter whether it was placed in the wizard or for Muggles. How could he have such a disease and died?

But to say that this reason is false... The IQ of the Malfoy family should not find such a mentally retarded reason.Could it be that it's really dragon pox?

Olivia looked at Elton, both of them had doubts in their eyes.After all, the time of death was so close to the time of the attack that there was no room for people to think about it.

Flicking her finger on the table twice, Olivia suddenly remembered the conversation Lucius had with her before the holiday, and Lucius' random question before leaving...

The fingers froze.

Elton saw that Olivia's face seemed to have been painted with white paint, and all the blood faded instantly.

"Miss Olivia?" He took two steps forward worriedly.

Olivia stood up, feeling a little out of breath.

Snape was also stunned for a while when he heard the news.

Irene looked anxious and panicked: "The Daily Prophet reported this every day in those few days, and the wizarding world really became more and more chaotic."

Snape saw the fear on Irene's face, and comforted him, "This place has been hidden by the Fidelity Curse, and they won't find it."

"What about you?" Irene grabbed her hand, controlling herself not to shake too much.She walked around nervously, "What are you going to do at school? What if... just in case someone wants to hurt you... Don't Death Eaters dislike mixed races?"

"Death Eaters don't like anyone who's not on their side." Snape said coldly, "whether it's pure blood or half blood."

Seeing Irene biting his lips tightly, Snape sighed inwardly, and tried to soften his voice as much as possible: "There are the headmaster and professors watching at the school, no harm will be allowed, and I can protect myself Yourself. Just stay at home and don't worry me."

Erin was soothed and no longer shivered like a frightened mouse.

She is obviously an adult, but she can't handle things at all, and even a little trouble can make her panic.Snape didn't even know how she had the courage to leave the family and marry a Muggle in the first place.

Olivia shouldn't even feel nervous.He couldn't help thinking.

Then startled.

Snape suddenly remembered a sentence that Malfoy dropped lightly when he walked past him after he finished talking with Olivia at the end of the term.

"Keep an eye on her, don't run around."

At that time, he thought that Malfoy was telling him not to let Olivia run around in the United States, and thought he was meddling in his own business. Now thinking about it... Could it be that Malfoy told him not to let her go back to England?

On the day of returning to school, although the atmosphere in the station did not change significantly, if you look carefully, some parents and students were in a hurry with solemn expressions.

Lily and Mary didn't realize it at all, and they were still lively when the four met.

"Ollie, Severus, thank you for your birthday present, I like it very much." Mary looked slightly changed, her freckles faded, her eyelashes grew longer, and her skin was delicate and radiant.She deliberately took out a cat's paw-shaped wallet and shook it. The palm-sized wallet freely zoomed in and out in her palm.

Olivia and Snape were still in the United States on Mary's birthday, but both returned presents.What Olivia gave was a wallet made of skin of a deformed lizard. When shrunk down, the cute shape can also be used as an ornament.Snape sent a beauty potion, which was much faster and more effective than Muggle plastic surgery, and it was safe and harmless.It is of course impossible to become a fairy, but some small defects can be improved on the original basis.

Judging by Mary's appearance, the effect is good.

"Ollie is taller and Sev is fatter," Lily said after observing.

Olivia immediately gave a thumbs up.She didn't feel it in the United States, but after she came back, she found that the robes of the last semester seemed to be a little shorter. After measuring them, it actually grew by three centimeters in two months.She is now 160 centimeters, and Elton said that if Ivan looks like her, she should be able to grow to at least 160 centimeters.

As for Snape, he fell in love with fried chicken nuggets and hamburgers when he was in the United States, so it's no wonder he didn't grow meat.But he was already thin, but now that he has gained weight, he looks healthier.

"You and Mary have also grown taller." Olivia said after comparing each other.

This is the age when girls begin to develop, and they can grow very quickly in the blink of an eye.Among the three of them, Mary is the tallest, Olivia is in the middle, and Lily is the shortest. Generally speaking, they are all of medium height, and they are all within a few centimeters of each other.

The three girls couldn't help but look at Snape in unison.

Snape, who was slightly behind, twitched the corner of his mouth.

Olivia said earnestly, "Drink more milk."

Snape rolled his eyes at her.

"Speaking of which," Mary asked suddenly, "when is your birthday, Ollie?"

Lily and Snape also realized that they had known Olivia for a year, yet they hadn't celebrated her birthday yet.

What a coincidence to ask this question.Olivia laughed: "It's today." The first day of school, September [-]st, happened to be her birthday too.

Well, Virgo, it's all right.

"What?" The three of them couldn't help shouting.

Lily suddenly said, "No wonder you were wearing this gorgeous and beautiful dress when I saw you last year and today." She thought it was some kind of tradition of the wizard family.

"The family had a little celebration before leaving, so dress more formally." Speaking of this, Olivia opened the food box, "This is Tiantian's birthday cake for me, let's eat it together."

Mary said angrily, "I didn't even tell you in advance, I didn't prepare a gift for you at all."

"You guys are not writing my summer homework, this is my birthday present." Olivia didn't care.If it wasn't for Elton and Tiantian who insisted on helping her celebrate birthdays, she would have forgotten where she would have been.

"That's a losing bet, how can it be a gift." Lily was very serious.

Snape said grimly, "And if no one asks, aren't you going to tell?" It was definitely something she could do.

Mary and Lily immediately cast condemning glances.

"..." Olivia glared at Snape, who had fallen into trouble, and changed the subject wittily, "Do you want to see the photos of me and Severus traveling?"

The two girls complained a few words reluctantly, but they were still attracted by the stack of photos she took out.

"It's a beautiful shot."

"It's like a postcard."

"This angle...could it be taken from the sky?"

"My God, is this the bottom of the sea?"

The three girls gathered around and chattered at the photos, Snape sighed how easy it is to be fooled, and couldn't help but look at them one by one.

He has been to every place in the photo, but it seems to be a little different from the memory.It seemed that all the scenery he saw would be more beautiful in her eyes.

"Huh? These are Sev."

Snape looked at the stack of photos in Lily's hand and was stunned.

The one in the photo looks like another person.

Some frown, some stare, some hold candied haws and look distressed, some look disgusted at stinky tofu, some eat hamburgers with puffy cheeks, and some lie on the beach with a happy expression.Eyes wide open nervously while surfing, lips pursed excitedly while gliding.

Snape never knew that his face could express so many expressions. In each photo, he had different expressions and different emotions, so vivid that he seemed to jump out of the photo.

The photo flipped over and changed from color to black and white.

Lily gave a soft "Yeah": "These photos... feel different."

Snape in the black-and-white film was completely different from the lively atmosphere just now.The long reflection in the setting sun, the silent side face when meditating, the hem of the clothes blown by the wind, the fingers picking up the shells.Here, he seems to... exude a deep and heavy temperament.

Is he like this?Snape couldn't believe it.

Olivia reached out and picked one out: "I like this one the most."

This photo was taken at the hotel where they were staying.On the spiral staircase, Snape stood at the bottom of the building, looking up.In the black and white tones, the interlacing of light and shadow creates a mysterious meaning. He is in the center of the spiral, with no redundant expression on his face, and his black eyes are looking deeply at the camera, showing a kind of careless indifference.

Snape vaguely remembered that when he was downstairs waiting for Olivia to come down, she suddenly called him from upstairs, and he casually raised his head.It's obviously a very common scene, why is there a picture that even he is unfamiliar with in the photo?

"It doesn't feel like the Sev I know anymore." Lily said honestly.

"Of course you know." Olivia put her fingers out of the photo frame and put it in front of her eyes. "Everyone has many faces. Sometimes, you just miss it in the blink of an eye. The charm of photography lies in capturing that moment. Zoom in on that tiny detail."

Lily nodded if she felt something, and then said with a smile: "I always think that in Oli's photo, Sif is very handsome."

Olivia smiled and winked at Snape: "Our Severus is already handsome."

Snape turned away from her.

"However, it really depends on the skill of the person taking the picture." Mary looked at the stack in her hand speechlessly, "You take such good pictures of him, what the hell is he taking pictures for you?"

Either it was out of focus or it was crooked. Finally, Zhang Zheng’s came. His hair covered his face. After picking and picking, only one of them could be seen.

"Huh? It's this one."

In the photo, Olivia is sitting in the Ferris wheel, looking sideways at the sunset outside the window. The silhouette in the backlight is blurred and blurred, which is very artistic.

It's the Ferris wheel on the beach in Santa Monica.

"I also took pictures of this one." Olivia flipped through it for a while, found another one and put it aside.

The same location, the same angle, the same pose, but the character was replaced by Snape.

The two photos put together look like a group photo.

Lily and Mary watched it for a long time, and agreed: "It's better for you to take the picture."

Olivia shrugged: "I am very grateful for his help to press the shutter." Don't expect a straight man to take good-looking photos for you.

Snape groaned at that.

The train arrived at the station in the dark. After getting off the train, they, who had already reached the second grade, did not need to take a boat to go to school, and were led to another open space.

Olivia was shocked by the scene in front of her and took a breath.

Hundreds of black creatures dragging carriages stopped there. They had a dragon-headed horse body, a pair of bat-like wings, and a long and slender tail. They had no flesh at all, unless there was a layer of black fur that clings tightly to them. I thought they were all dead skeletons.Silver-white eyes without pupils, like will-o'-the-wisps in the night, staring faintly at the little wizards in front of them.

One or two people in the crowd screamed, but more people were at a loss.

Lily looked at Olivia suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"Why aren't these cars harnessed to the horses? Are they going to fly by themselves like the first-grade boats?" Mary looked curiously.

They couldn't see... Olivia suddenly realized, yes, this is thestral.

When they got into the carriage, in the eyes of the three other than her, the carriage really moved forward by itself.

"It's amazing."

Olivia looked out the window. Thestrals were walking silently on the rugged mountain road, as if they were going to take them to another world.

"What's there?" Snape followed her gaze.

"Thestrals."

"what?"

"A creature that can only be seen by those who have seen death," Olivia whispered.

Snape turned his gaze to her.

Outside the window, Hogwarts was getting closer and closer, and the rows of lit windows looked extraordinarily bright and warm in the darkness, as if they were their homes waiting for them to return.

Olivia asked suddenly: "Which do you think is better, Hogwarts or Ifamoney?"

"Hogwarts, of course." Snape blurted out without hesitation.

Olivia laughed.

Snape raised an eyebrow: "Do you have a different opinion on this?"

"No, I just think this question is a bit silly."

"really."

Although the meaning is different, the two have reached a subtle harmony.

Entering the school, the hall was still resplendent and resplendent as before. They sat on the long tables of their respective colleges, watching a group of freshmen come out of the room one after another, looking around curiously and timidly.

"Do you feel like you saw us last year?" Olivia found it interesting.

Snape reservedly put on a senior look: "We weren't so shy back then."

That's because there wasn't a mirror in front of you at the time.Olivia complained inwardly.

With a sweep of her gaze, she found that the people on the professor's desk had changed, except that the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts changed every year, and Mrs. Blanche from the library and Mr. Pringle, who was guarding the door, were also gone. The two newcomers sat their position.

Obviously different from the gentle Mrs. Blanche and Mr. Pringle, the two new professors have a serious face, one is serious and the other is gloomy.

Hope the one on patrol likes to drink too.Olivia prayed for her future night travel life.

When looking back, he accidentally glanced at the long table in Gryffindor, and suddenly found that several people were staring at this side with hatred, and a girl had red eyes and a face of resentment.

Olivia moved slightly in her heart and sighed.

When she looked again, she met another person's eyes.

Sirius?

He seemed to be in a daze, and looked at her absent-mindedly for a while, then suddenly came back to his senses, and suddenly turned his head and lay on the shoulder of James next door, so that James, who was trying to talk to Lily through the other person, was almost stuck. to Lily's face.

Lily rose angrily and exchanged places with Mary.

James turned around and shook his fist with Sirius, and Sirius hurriedly said something flatteringly.

Olivia couldn't help smiling.

The author has something to say:

Thank you for the landmines given by the high school students in the second period, thank you for your love!

Special thanks to Sihai for the suggestion, just paste it for everyone to see, I hope everyone can give me advice.Because stupid authors have never written an outline, so they often miss something and don’t understand the meaning, please bear with me and bring it up, let me correct it(,,
