Chapter 2 You are precious to me

"It's all your fault, you monsters. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be broke!"

Snape heard the sounds of smashing and smashing coming from the living room and knew that Tobias had returned.

"Tobias, don't be like this. This is your living expenses for the next week. Don't use it to buy alcohol."

From outside the door came the familiar and humble voice of my mother pleading.

"what!"

The next second, there was the sound of fists hitting flesh and the mother's suppressed screams.

Snape finally couldn't help it. He pushed open the door and yelled at Tobias, "Don't hit my mother, you bastard! You lost your job because you are useless. It has nothing to do with us! Don't take the money that my mother worked hard to earn."

Because of anger, his magic power began to get out of control and everything around him floated up.

Tobias looked at this scene with horror in his eyes and shouted, "Monsters, you are all monsters, I will call the police to arrest you."

"Tobias, this is a misunderstanding. Our child won't hurt you. He just can't control himself."

Irene anxiously comforted the frightened Tobias, then turned to Snape and ordered, "Severus, didn't you agree not to use magic in front of anyone?"

"Mom, he doesn't deserve to be my father. He is a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong. We don't want to be here, okay?" Snape said loudly.

He was really fed up with it all, and without Tobias, he and Irene could live a little easier.

"He's just a selfish, useless jerk. He doesn't love us at all."

"Snapped!"

There was a loud slap.

Little Snape was hit and staggered back a few steps, staring at Irene in a daze.

Irene's eyes were a little flustered. She reached out and grabbed Snape and explained, "You shouldn't talk nonsense. Your father loves us. I..."

Before she could finish her words, Snape couldn't stand it anymore and pushed her away.

It's the same again, it's always the same answer. He really doesn't understand why Irene, a wizard, would be so cowardly. It's obvious that with just one spell, he could make his Muggle father obey him, but he insisted on being beaten by Tobias.

Snape ran to the street wearing only a thin maternity dress. The biting cold December wind penetrated into his clothes, making him shiver with cold, but he didn't want to go home.

Little Snape walked on this street for a long time, snow falling on his shoulders and making him shiver all over. He did not wait for Irene to come out to find him, and no pedestrians on the street looked at him.

Maybe, but who cares about a monster?

The snow seemed to be taking away his soul. Snape didn't know how long he had walked on the street. The things in front of him gradually became blurred. Before his sight disappeared, a warm hand fell on his face.

Dying?

Snape thought dazedly, and everything went dark before his eyes.

Jiang Li brought the boy back to his residence. Seeing that the little boy was so dirty, he couldn't help but wash him and found a smaller set of clothes for him to change into.

Jiang Li felt distressed when he saw the bruises, some new and some old, on the little boy's body.

This child must have suffered a lot.

She washed him clean, used a spell to remove the moisture from the boy's body, put him on the bed, used a warming spell on him, and began to make a potion to cure his cold.

Jiang Li has also made a lot of potions recently, but he felt that he would not catch a cold, so he did not make this type of potion.

The little man lying on the bed moved.

Snape felt that he must be dead, otherwise why would his whole body be warm and he could smell the faint scent of gardenia, as if he was sleeping in a cloud.

He opened his eyes with difficulty and looked at the intricate patterns on the ceiling. When he lay on the comfortable and soft big bed, he became more certain of this idea.

Is heaven so warm?

"you're awake."

A gentle voice sounded, and Snape saw a girl who looked like an angel holding food in her hand. She smiled at him in a friendly manner and subconsciously shrank into the quilt.

Seeing the boy's actions, Jiang Li smiled, walked to the bed, put the small table on the bed, put the food in front of him, reached out and touched Snape's forehead, which was still a little hot.

"You should be hungry. Eat the food first, then take the medicine."

No one had ever spoken to him so gently. The girl in front of him was extremely beautiful. Snape looked at her blankly and said, "Am I dead? Are you sent by Merlin to pick me up?"

The girl chuckled, gently rubbed his washed and somewhat fluffy hair, and said softly: "You are not dead, you fainted on the side of the road, I will take you home."

Snape was a little disappointed when he heard this.

He thought it would be better if he died, so he wouldn't have to see the annoying Tobias and Irene...

"You are so young, why do you think so much? Eat your meal quickly, your stomach has been rumbling several times."

Jiang Li pinched his cheek, looked at his pointed chin, and wondered what to feed the child so that he could gain weight.

As if to confirm her words, Snape's stomach immediately rumbled.

His cheeks were a little red, but his intense hunger still made him subconsciously stuff food into his mouth.

Snape felt that this was the most delicious food he had ever eaten since he was born. Every piece of food was so delicious that it was indescribable. It turned out that the steak in the restaurant was as delicious as he imagined.

Jiang Li held his chin and looked at the boy, then picked up the book next to him and started reading. When he noticed that the boy had almost finished eating, he used magic to put away the tableware.

Noticing that he had eaten so much food, Snape felt very embarrassed. His face turned red and he whispered to Jiang Li: "Thank you, I am very full."

"It's good to be full." Jiang Li took out the potion and handed it to Snape, saying, "Drink this, and your cold will get better."

Snape took the potion from her hand and drank it without hesitation.

There was nothing worth scheming about him, so he was not afraid that the beautiful lady in front of him would hurt him.

As soon as he finished drinking the potion, Snape felt a warm current surging through his body, washing over his body again and again, making his whole body warm.

The next second, two streams of white steam came out of Snape's ears, which looked a little funny.

Jiang Li didn't expect there would be such a side effect and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It’s so fun.

Snape was confused, and it took him a few seconds to realize that he had drunk a bottle of potion. He immediately felt a little regretful. Such a precious potion should have been well preserved.

Feeling the warmth on his forehead, Snape looked at Jiang Li with his hand on his forehead and said with satisfaction: "The fever has gone down. It seems that there is nothing serious."

"By the way, remember to drink these two bottles of medicine." Jiang Li reminded.

One bottle is a potion for replenishing nutrition, and the other bottle is a potion for replenishing depleted magic power.

According to her observation, the little wizard must have just experienced a magical riot, and the magic power in his body is now very unstable.

This time Snape did not drink it directly. He took the potion carefully, pulled out the cork, sniffed it gently, and felt the fluctuations of magic inside.

"It's a potion!"

He cried out in surprise, looking at the potion in his hand with shining eyes, as if he was facing some rare treasure.

"Are you sure you want to give me such a precious potion?" Snape asked Jiang Li cautiously.

"These are just two bottles of magic potion. It's not difficult to make. To me, you are the most precious one." Jiang Li said seriously.
