stray in HP

Spider's End Alley is not a good place, it is dilapidated and dirty, most of the people who live here are low-level hooligans, to put it bluntly, it is a typical slum, the only advantage here is that it is cheap.

Salazar had probably never been to such a place in his life, he frowned with some disgust, and then knocked on the door of Snape's house.

The person who opened the door was a rather short and thin boy, wearing a dirty men's coat, and no matter how you looked at it, the clothes were not children's clothes, the sleeves were cut short and narrowed, but nothing else. Alteration, therefore, hangs empty-handed, so to speak.

The boy looked about three or four years old, his face was dirty, but his eyes were bright. He raised his head, looked at the person at the door warily, and said in a childish voice: "If you are asking for money for drinks, Father should still be in the tavern now, you can ask him directly!"

Li Zixu looked at the extremely messy room, which could be said to be a mess, and there were some weird smells coming from it, he pursed his lips, and finally said: "We are not here to find your father, is your mother at home?"

The boy bit his lower lip: "Mom is going to work!"

Salazar looked at the boy indifferently, and it took a long time before he said: "Little gentleman, can you let us sit in for a while? We need to wait for your mother to come back!"

"Who are you? What do you want to do with your mother?" The boy's mind is obviously far superior to his age, and his face is still full of doubts.

Li Zixu smiled lightly, and whispered in Salazar's ear: "This kid will definitely be a Slytherin again in the future!"

The corners of Salazar's mouth curled, but he still said: "Little Mr. Snape, we should be friends of your great-grandfather, and he used to be your mother's professor, because your great-grandfather died Entrust, so we found here, hoping to have a good talk with your mother."

The boy was stunned for a moment, pressed his lower lip hard, then turned sideways to get out of the way, and said a little bluntly: "If you don't mind that there is no place to sit!"

Salazar actually disliked this very much. As soon as he entered the door, he waved his hand directly, and the inside of the room suddenly underwent earth-shaking changes. I don’t know how many stubborn stains had accumulated and disappeared without a trace. The furniture has been transformed into tables, chairs, and sofas that best suit Slytherin's aesthetics. The somewhat mottled and uneven floor is covered with extremely thick carpets that are soft and long-haired that can cover the insteps of your feet. On the ceiling, The incandescent lamp that had been broken for an unknown period of time was replaced by a beautiful crystal chandelier, and even the original dirty smell in the air disappeared completely, replaced by a faint scent of mint and lemon.

However, it was obvious that the boy didn't like it. He behaved like a little beast that had been invaded into his own territory, almost growling: "What are you doing? This is my home!"

"Boy, I give you a piece of advice, don't provoke people who are stronger than you!" Li Zixu bent down and looked deeply at the boy, "Weak people have no right to speak!"

The boy clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and stared at Li Zixu without saying a word.

However, Salazar leisurely chose a single sofa and sat down, crossed his hands and put them on his lower abdomen, and said: "Then, Mr. Snape, do you mind telling me your name?" The tone of the inquiry, but the meaning in the tone is beyond doubt.

The boy swallowed hard, remained silent for a long time, and finally said in a muffled voice: "Severus, Severus Snape!"

Sarah looked at the boy with a hint of appreciation. At such a young age, the level of judging the situation is not bad. Well, she is indeed a Slytherin. What a pity to be born into such a family!

Li Zixu sat down next to Salazar, and said with a smile, "Little Mr. Snape, then, as compensation for us changing your home, I have the honor. Would you please have a little refreshment?" He also waved his hand, and the coffee table was immediately filled with all kinds of snacks, Chinese and Western, everything you need. In addition, there were two cups of steaming green tea and a large cup of equally warm milk.

The dessert tasted very sweet, and Severus Snape was obviously tempted.He is only five years old now, but he has already tasted the hardships of life, a father who likes domestic violence and alcoholism, and never comes home except to vent and beat people and take money, a man who abandoned being a witch for his own husband Everything about him, including his dignified mother, plus such a not-so-good age, hunger, cold, and violence were all the themes of his life.

He looked at the desserts on the coffee table that he knew or didn't know, and swallowed again. Those were called Black Forest, as well as chocolate mousse, tiramisu, cream puffs, and cookies with very cute patterns... In his memory, he only saw these in the window of the cake shop. Maybe he ate them when his family was in a good state, but he had forgotten.In addition, there are also some exquisite and lovely snacks that make people appetite just looking at them, and he can't name them.

He really wanted to turn his head firmly, but his stomach made a "grunt" roar unwillingly. The alluring fragrance made his stomach almost convulse, and his saliva was also secreted rapidly. He hesitated, and looked at two more. The uninvited guest took a look, rubbed his hands vigorously on the dirty clothes, then reached out and quickly grabbed a piece of chocolate mousse cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

His eating looks a bit ferocious, but this is also understandable. He has not eaten for a long time, so he is almost gobbling up now, almost not choking. Li Zixu looked at this man who was no taller than himself. The child with thighs felt some pity in his heart. He picked up the milk, handed it over, and said softly, "Eat slowly, these are all yours!"

Severus's dirty face flushed, and the blush spread to his ears. He took the milk carefully, took a sip, and then slowly ate it with an almost religious attitude.

Severus ate a piece of chocolate mousse, a piece of tiramisu, and three shrimp dumplings. After drinking a glass of milk, he stopped eating. He glanced at the two hesitantly, and bit his lower lip , asked in a low voice: "Are these really all mine?"

Li Zixu nodded: "Yes!"

Severus' eyes brightened suddenly, he almost rushed into the kitchen, and then took out a big cardboard box, put all the snacks on the table into the box, then held the box with some difficulty, and put the box Tucked it into an inconspicuous corner of the kitchen, and after finishing this, his little face suddenly glowed.

Li Zixu and Salazar didn't speak, and they didn't ask any more questions. What else is there to say about such a family!It's hard for Li Zixu to understand what kind of feelings it is to let a noble lady who has been pampered since she was a child, who probably hasn't even washed her socks, resolutely elope and marry a commoner who is not very outstanding.It might be okay at the beginning, Li Zixu has already learned that Tobia Snape was originally a successful investment agent with a very good income, and Irene can be her housewife with peace of mind.Unfortunately, when the economic crisis came, the financial industry was the first to be impacted. Tobias Snape was soon unemployed, and because of the wrong investment he made, he went bankrupt!He had to sell his house and moved to the slums.In the context of the economic crisis, investment and financial management talents are obviously not needed. Therefore, his job hunting process hit a wall everywhere, and his remaining savings were wiped out.

That Tobia Snape's career was hit hard, and he couldn't recover from the setback. What was even more unfortunate was that his three-year-old son had a magic riot, and what Irene had been hiding was exposed.

It may be a human instinct to vent anger, especially in Europe, the image of wizards is always very bad. It can be seen from fairy tales that wizards are always accompanied by various misfortunes and disasters. Therefore, Tobias only felt that he The reason why he was so unfortunate was because he married a witch and had a son who was also a monster!

Tobia began to drink heavily and beat his wife and son, but Irene, who loved this man deeply, had always been submissive, not only failed to protect herself, but also failed to protect her son.She had locked her wand a long time ago, and now she has given up her self-esteem. In order to support the family, she, an aristocratic lady who used to be untouchable, had to wash dishes and serve dishes, especially for the trustees. Biya always does odd jobs in the tavern that owes the wine account to repay the wine money that Tobia owes.

But his husband did not appreciate his wife because of this, but became even more violent.Every time he got drunk, he would come back and ask for money when he had no money. If he had no money, he beat his wife and son desperately.

Li Zixu couldn't understand this kind of love at all.In his opinion, love should be equal and mutual, but it is unreasonable for Irene to love so humblely that she even lost herself.

Sensing the complex emotions in Li Zixu's heart, Salazar stretched out his arms and put his arms around Li Zixu's shoulders. He didn't say anything, and Li Zixu was comforted. He smiled at Salazar, feeling Also calmed down.

But at this time, Severus Snape, who was sitting on the opposite side of Li Zixu and the others, was a little sleepy, his little head fell on the sofa unknowingly, bit by bit, The sofa was very soft and warm, and he curled up in a ball, breathing slowly and evenly.

Li Zixu directly took out a thick blanket and covered the little child, watching the child twist his body uncomfortably, his heart felt soft.
