Back to 1975

Harry had never felt so unlucky, no, hopeless.

Teacher-student romance is not news, but not every student is mentally prepared for it.

Maybe everyone has a fledgling plot, but not every student has such a strong heart to challenge the most terrifying professor at Hogwarts, even though he is still a fledgling now.

Snape!That's Snape!Greasy, dark, evil and poisonous old Slytherin bat!My God... If it was Ron, he would rather eat roasted slugs than make such a bloody bet!

Harry wanted to turn around, how could he bet on such a nonsense, maybe Lily cast some spell on him, made him faint, and then agreed to her to read some goddamn love poems to Snape !

Harry took several deep breaths, tried his best to build himself up mentally, and walked towards the Room of Requirement step by step.

You must know that they have been hostile to each other for seven full years!Apart from ridiculing each other, that is torturing each other, there is nothing else but staring and sneering.But now?He was going to talk to Snape, and remember his face damn it!Let's see if he really likes me!

He only felt that his face was about to burn, and his head was swollen.

Snape liked him?How can it be!What the hell!Could there be anything good to say about Snape's snarky mouth, Harry was sure it was the stupidest thing he'd ever done in his life - giving him the perfect opportunity to satirize himself to the brim.

He checked the time, it was almost 15:[-], and he walked for [-] minutes from Gryffindor Tower to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor.

Harry stood in front of the door of the Room of Requirement until the door was almost gone, then took a deep breath and flung it open.

Snape was standing in front of the door, only a few steps away from Harry. He was wearing a black school robe, and he looked at him with a black face expressionless.

For a moment, Harry felt as if he had turned into Little Bean Ding again, facing the head of Slytherin, wishing he could turn around and run away.

Even facing the adult Professor Snape, Harry had never been so embarrassed.

Snape glanced behind Harry, and closed the door for him casually, "You're a full 23 minutes late, Mr Pott."

Pot!Pot! !Break your sister's special——!

Harry tightly clutched the small note in his hand, walked around Snape without saying a word, and sat on the sofa in the study.

Snape frowned, and looked back at Harry, as if dissatisfied with his attitude.

Picky guy.Mood and anger, no, he was never happy.Difficult to please, bad temper, bad mouth, and his greasy hair and smell!And he actually wanted to confess his love to this guy!

Snape walked up to Harry and looked at him, "What's the matter with you?"

Harry raised his head awkwardly, this condescending feeling made him very stressed, "Can you...can you sit down and talk?"

Snape sat down, but he was staring at him, and Harry would have liked to find something to cover his eyes, if Snape would agree.

Harry awkwardly opened the schoolbag, took out the presents one by one and handed them to Snape.His photo album was quite big, and it was placed at the very bottom. Harry took out the photo album and handed it to him, "I made this...Happy birthday, birthday."

The photo album is not packaged, and the cover is gilded, which looks very important.Snape took it, he pursed his lips as if smiling, but then he said, "Don't be reluctant, I didn't ask you to give me a gift."

...Damn snot-nosed man!Harry suddenly understood James, and now he wanted to hang Snape upside down too!

Harry took a deep breath, and while Snape was flipping through the photo album, he spread out the small note in his hand, "I, I have something to say..."

Snape glanced at the hesitant Harry suspiciously, then continued to look down at his photo album, "Say."

"You, you, you are excellent, better than everyone I've ever seen..."

Snape suddenly looked up and looked at Harry in surprise.It nearly made Harry choke on his own saliva, his head was buzzing and blood was rushing to his face.

"I, I, I..." Harry was tongue-tied, he looked at his hands in a panic, trying to make out the small words, "I...I can't control my eyes, I want to...go..."

Snape froze, looking at Harry and his flushed face in disbelief.He subconsciously grabbed the photo album, but immediately after, he calmed down and narrowed his eyes slyly, "What's in your hand?"

"It's nothing!" Harry withdrew his hand all of a sudden, and put it behind his back.

"Give it to me." Snape leaned forward and held out his hand, "Potter, take out what you're holding—"

"I have... nothing in my hand."

Snape stood up suddenly, took a big step forward, and reached for the note hidden behind Harry.He looked at Harry's flushed face, persistently begging for that insignificant thing, even Snape himself couldn't explain why.

"No! S...let me go!"

Harry flinched back and sank into the sofa, struggling to keep his little note.But Snape didn't intend to let him go at all, and wrapped his hands around Harry's back, grabbing his hand.

"Let go!" Snape looked down at Harry, grabbed his wrist and tried to break his hand away, but Harry didn't cooperate.

Harry leaned on the sofa, clenched his hands violently, no matter how much Snape tugged, he couldn't pull them out.

The situation is deadlocked.

Snape clutched his wrist and said nothing, and neither did Harry.The two seem to have made up their minds to fight to the end.

Harry was pinned down on the sofa, and Snape's hands were tightly clutching Harry's wrists, more like a hug than a fight.

Harry smelled that smell again. There was a strange mixed smell on Snape's body, it was not pleasant, it was faint, a bit like potion.Harry took a breath, like the water of life and death.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Harry moved his body, but found that he couldn't sit up at all.Annoyed, Harry squeezed his eyes shut, "Let me go!"

Harry's messy black hair kept rubbing against Snape's chin and neck, as if itching back and forth.Harry's face was very red, and even his ears were pink, which made people want to lick them.Maybe as long as he bites his earlobe and scratches his chin again, he won't struggle anymore, and obediently stretches out his claws, handing over the little secret in his hand.

Snape felt as if he had been enchanted. He stared at Harry's earlobe, and his whole body was a little bit flustered.

Suddenly, Harry pushed Snape away and ran out with his ass on fire.

Harry felt his heart beating fast, as if it was going to pop out of his throat, and ran back to the common room in one breath.

"Harry!" Lily grabbed him. If he didn't stop him, Harry probably wouldn't even know that someone was calling him.

Lily stared at Harry's face, her eyes lit up like searchlights, "How is it, Harry? What's Severus' reaction?"

Harry opened his mouth, he looked at Lily, and the robbery team next to him, and then he remembered that they still have a bloody bet!

"He and I……"

"What?" She looked at Harry with wide eyes, clear and bright green eyes, blinking curiously.

"...I don't know." He broke free from Lily, and returned to the dormitory without daring to raise his head.

Harry really didn't know, he didn't even see his face clearly, only saw that he was wearing a black sweater with a round neck, the collar was frayed, and he might have been boiling the water of death before.Other than that, Harry knew nothing.Should he tell Lily that they've been grabbing a little note all this time? !

Lily didn't stop him from asking for more details, she just squinted and watched Harry run into the entrance of the boys' dormitory.She turned around abruptly, with her long hair twitching in a beautiful arc, she sat down opposite James and Sirius in style, and stretched out her hand towards them, "Here, gentlemen."

Sirius exclaimed, "Take what? There's no way Harry likes him!"

"I would like to accept the bet, Mr. Black." Miss Evans looked at Sirius Blackhead Black with a confident look, "Harry blushed and was very flustered."

"So what? It doesn't mean that he likes snotties!"

Lily curled her lips at him rather unceremoniously, and suddenly put on a smiling face, "Sirius, in fact, it's you I've always liked."

Sirius froze for a moment, then turned to look at James.

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously. Actually, I really like you, but it's pure friendship." Lily shrugged and smiled meaningfully, "Do you understand, Mr. Black? Harry is serious."

Sirius was speechless and slammed the Marauder's Map on the table in Lily's hand.

"For the Advanced Wizarding Examination, you'd better start working hard now." Lily shook the map in her hand and put it in her pocket.She looked at James who had been sitting silently, "What's wrong with you?"

James stood up suddenly, and Lily was startled by him, "What's the matter, James?"

"Go kill the snot-nosed man!"

"How dare you!" Lily stood in front of him, "If you still want to put me down⑴, James, you'd better not touch a single hair of Severus, and you are not allowed to bully Harry!"

James: "..."

~~~~~~~~~

"Hi, Harry." Lily quickly caught up with Harry, "You're walking so fast."

With his schoolbag on his back, Harry kept walking, head down as if rushing to reincarnate, and walked forward.He glanced at Lily awkwardly, stopped, took out the mask from his bag, and handed it to her, "Even if I lose...don't mention that, okay?"

Lily took it happily, put it on her face, and looked at Harry innocently with wide eyes, "What's the matter?"

It's just that in Harry's view, Lily now looks like a ferocious vampire, and the pureness is just an illusion.

"It was just yesterday...it's nothing." Harry let out a long breath, and couldn't help laughing bitterly, "Are we...going to class?"

"Let's go." Lily took off her mask and put it in her schoolbag. She looked at Harry and smiled slowly.

Harry couldn't help but glanced at her more, and asked hesitantly, "What's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me?" Lily once again showed an innocent expression, looking at Harry innocently, but the next sentence made Harry almost want to hit the wall: "Harry, since you gave me the mask, Does that mean... Severus likes you?"

The author has something to say: Note 1: Put down Lily, added a little joke after the end of the last chapter, thank you Shuangran~! ! =3=
