Chapter 147 Returning to the Severus House
Chapter 147 Returning to the Severus House
It felt like there were more and more people in the compartment. Now, in addition to the six of us, even the Harry Potter trio had come into our compartment.
"Ayers, are you reading a letter?" Fred, sitting next to me, looked at me curiously as I held the letter and read it.
"Well, it seems my family needs to go abroad this holiday, so I'll probably be alone at home for a while." I read the letter, and it seemed that Riddle and my older brother had some business to attend to and needed to leave home, so they probably wouldn't be able to spend the holiday with me.
I wonder what those two are up to now. Let them do whatever they want.
"Ayers, don't you live with Professor Snape? Isn't he home for the holidays?" Oliver asked me curiously, noting that his family wasn't home for the holidays.
"Senior Ayers, do you live with Professor Snape? My neighbor is Professor Snape?" Before I could even answer Oliver's question, Harry reacted so strongly.
"No way, Ayers is Harry's neighbor?" Ron was also surprised.
"Wait, how am I supposed to answer all these questions at once?" I put the letter down and put it in my portable bag. I still need to reply to Riddle at some time.
“First of all, I lived with Professor Snape for the first half of the time. For the second half, I lived in my own house, which was Harry’s neighbor’s house.” I answered Oliver’s question first, and then Harry’s question.
"I'm curious, who lives in your own house, Ayers?" Cedric immediately spotted the problem.
“My brother and one of my…” I almost said it was my son, because legally speaking, Riddle really is my adopted son.
The thought of having a son who is taller than me makes me want to laugh.
"What?" My pause piqued everyone's curiosity, and seeing me smile only fueled their curiosity.
"I can't tell you who he is right now. Just know that he's one of my men." Riddle's identity really can't be revealed too much to them right now, especially with Harry here.
“Your words make us even more curious.” It was the first time George had ever felt that I could suddenly laugh when I mentioned someone, which proved that this person held a high place in my heart.
"So, are we still going to Diagon Alley together that last week?" Fred was used to us going to Diagon Alley together every semester.
"Let's go, I'll come see you guys in my last week." Anyway, I'll be spending the first half of the holiday with Siever, and the second half at home, so having a week free to go to the Burrow is no problem.
"I should be fine." Cedric was fine with anything; he didn't have any plans.
“Me too.” Oliver didn’t have any plans either, so he could also go to Diagon Alley with us.
"And you guys?" Fred asked the trio.
"I'm not sure right now, we'll see if it works then." Harry lives with his aunt and uncle, so he might not be able to go, but he doesn't know yet, so he'll have to wait and see.
"I should be fine." Hermione's parents could still let their daughter arrange her own schedule.
“Great, let’s go to Diagon Alley together then.” George said directly, not giving Ron a chance to speak.
When the Hogwarts Express arrived at the station, we all got off one after another.
I spotted Severus immediately in the crowd; his black robe and serious, upright posture made him stand out starkly from the crowd.
Each of us walked away from the person who was supposed to take us home.
"Severus, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." I walked towards Severus with a suitcase in my hand and holding the long-sleeping Moon in my arms. My luggage was the least; most of it was just a portable backpack.
"No, I just arrived." Severus reached out and took my hand. With a 'Phantom Shift,' we returned to Severus's house.
"Have you cleaned up yet?" When I got back to Severus's house, I didn't see any dust in the living room.
“I haven’t cleaned the rooms yet; I only cleaned the hall.” Severus picked up his wand, intending to continue cleaning.
"Go buy some groceries and come back so I can cook. I'll take care of the cleaning." I stopped Severus from cleaning and told him to go buy some things.
“Okay, then I’ll go out to buy things, and you can stay home and tidy up.” Severus used Apparition again; he was really fast.
Since the lobby has already been cleaned, I'll go clean the rooms.
He went up to the second floor and came to his room. He used a staffless spell to clean the room, which he hadn't lived in for a long time, and made it spotless.
Then I placed the sleeping moon in my hand into the cat's bed.
"Mingyue has been sleeping for a bit too long, hasn't she? The main thing is, my cat has been sleeping in the dorm all this time, and none of my roommates have even asked about it?" I'm curious myself, Draco and the others haven't even asked.
In fact, Draco and the others had wanted to ask him for a long time, but they always missed the opportunity because of something else. They wondered if it was because of the identity of the Moon Demon, and they always avoided questions about him.
I stroked Mingyue's jet-black fur; it felt so good to touch, the texture was amazing.
After playing for a while, I opened the curtains in the room a little bit. I opened the window slightly to let in some fresh air, and worried that Mingyue might get cold, so I gave him a thin blanket to cover him up.
Then she changed all her bedding into a new set, which she put in her portable backpack, and even brought her own clean bedding.
After finishing tidying up his own room, he closed the door and walked toward Severus's room.
I don't know if it's because of our current relationship, but the Severus room that used to be locked is now open to me.
I pushed open Severus's room, went in, and first cast a 'Clean Up' spell without a staff to clear away the dust from the place that had been uninhabited for some time.
They also replaced Severus's bedding with a new set, and threw the old ones back into the mobile backpack, cleaning them up with the system's black technology.
They also opened a window slightly to let in some fresh air for Severus, and placed the lily scented diffuser they had previously given him on the table, and put the lily shampoo in his toilet.
Then I went downstairs to the kitchen, and 'cleaning it up' became a basic operation. Just as I finished cleaning the kitchen, Severus came back with bags of things.
I was stunned for a moment. This Severus was so lifelike, no longer the serious and cold Severus I knew. It was as if I had dragged him down to earth.
"Ayers, what are you standing there for? Come and help me with this." Severus saw me standing there in a daze and handed me what he was holding.
"Why did you buy so much?" I looked at Siever with curiosity, it was the first time I had ever seen him bring back so many things.
"These are all your favorite foods, so I bought too much without realizing it." Severus wasn't sure what he was thinking at the time; he only realized it after he finished buying them.
"That's the most beautiful love confession." I looked at Sievere with delight.
"Then I'll trouble you to make me something to eat. I might need to go and refine some potions later; I have an order that might be a bit urgent." Severus placed the food on the table.
"Okay, I'll call you when it's time to eat. You can go ahead and get busy." I pushed Siever out and let him go about his business.
