HP John Snape

Chapter 45

After waiting for a while, Charlie passed the documents over. After everything was settled, John had no reason to stay any longer.

"Then I'll take my leave, Miss Somerville." Although John said to the girl, his eyes kept squinting at Snape beside him.

Somerville looked at Mr. Snape's side in confusion - of course, she saw nothing.

"Oh, uh... bye."

- Her eyes suddenly became clear, and she obviously found a reason for John's weird eye movements, and her expression also became a little pity.

John didn't see it. He turned around and returned to the car. After the professor also came up, he drove the car back.

Snape was sitting in the passenger seat, his expression as calm as ever.

——John is more likely to be immersed in memories because of the girl's appearance.

"Let's go back to the set now. Severus, is it time to make me a pick-me-up?" John asked pitifully.

There was no jealousy, no anger, and no longer the coldness just now. John's face was very normal, and he even had a faint smile, blinking and waiting for an answer.

Snape seemed a little uncomfortable with him for a moment, paused, and then nodded.

"Great, I've had enough of the sound of this bad cold!" John complained in a low voice, and the speed of the car increased.

Snape's eyes couldn't help but look at him inquiringly.

…There’s something wrong with John.

His normal appearance... is even more unsettling than today's cold smile.

This time, John didn't even look at Snape. He had a smile on his lips and concentrated on driving, looking as happy as if he were on an outing.

——He is feeling aggrieved now.

Look, the professor was in a very bad mood because of him. So in order to make the professor happy, he thought about it and finally found the person who could make him happy the most.

On the one hand, he had to endure his jealousy and talk to the girl about business affairs in a pleasant manner; on the other hand, he had to watch the person he had a crush on looking at the person he had a crush on!

It happened that he couldn't say that he liked Snape even if he was hurt internally. It's okay if the two of them know each other well, but if the window paper is broken, he can't guarantee what will happen next.

He started to admire himself so much.

Well... he was the one who proposed to come to Somerville, and he is the one who feels wronged and sad now.

He was the one seeking death, so why should he be aggrieved?

——But he was frustrated.

I can't comfort the person I like, I can only find the person I least want to find.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. John smiled brightly, stepped on the accelerator hard, and drove the car very fast.

Snape's eyes stayed on the brilliant curve of the corner of John's mouth, and his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something dryly comforting. But he remained silent.

His eyes became cold and empty - that was an obvious sign of Occlumency.

In the end, he said nothing.

The two of them maintained a weird atmosphere like this until they returned to the rest room at the filming location.

Snape disappeared with a slight explosion, and soon appeared again, this time with a cauldron and potion ingredients in his hand.
