Chapter 31 Fireworks
This time, Snape also successfully missed Lily.
It was two days later that Jiang Li saw Snape come out of the Potions Room.
Snape had dark circles under his eyes, his hair was greasy and stuck to his face, and his robes looked like they had been pickled and had a bitter, medicinal smell.
It seems that he has not had a rest and has been making potions all night long.
"I think you should take it easy. You're so young, and if you stay up late every day, you'll die of sudden death sooner or later." Jiang Li stared at Snape's dark circles.
Snape rubbed his sore eyes and said, "It's just that I've been busy these few days. After the bugs are dead, the effect of the medicine is not as good as when they were alive."
Hearing this, Jiang Li let out a soft "tsk"
"Have you ever thought that if you just pick some evening primrose from the medicine field and feed it to those bugs, they won't die immediately. You can wait a few days before making the potion."
Snape: "..."
The old professor, who had always directly consumed potion materials, had never imagined that there was a path of sustainable farming.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
He suspected that Jiang Li deliberately waited until he had made the potion before telling him this method.
"I thought any normal person would come up with this idea." Jiang Li shrugged and said bluntly, "No one would stay up all night making potions."
Snape: "..."
"Remember to wash your hair before going to bed." Jiang Li reminded.
When making potions for a long time, some substances will remain in the hair, which cannot be washed away by ordinary shampoo.
Jiang Li bought the best-selling magic shampoo on the market, but Snape refused to wash his greasy hair and preferred to rinse it with clean water.
At first, Jiang Li thought Snape was allergic to shampoo, so he made some low-allergy shampoo for him. Later, he found out that Snape actually disliked the shampoo because it was from Potter's.
Jiang Li thought that he might as well replace all of Snape's birthday presents with shampoo, giving him a year's worth at a time.
Snape had no idea what Jiang Li was thinking. After taking a shower, with his hair still wet, he fell asleep on the bed without even having time to cover himself with the quilt.
When he woke up, he found himself lying in bed, his hair was blow-dried, and the potion and Christmas gifts he had made were on the table.
Snape guessed who had done it.
He got up from the bed and walked into the living room, when he saw Jiang Li, who was wearing a red velvet dress and a red beret, and looked like he was about to go out.
"You're awake. Hurry up and change your clothes. We're going to the Christmas party. I heard that the town has invited a circus to perform."
Before Snape could react, Jiang Li had already put a hat on his head, tied a red scarf around him, and gave him a light brown windbreaker.
Snape was a little uncomfortable wearing such bright and clean colors.
The city center is brightly lit and it feels like the entire city is crowded here.
Jiang Li held Snape's hand tightly to avoid being separated by the crowd.
Snape didn't like so many people and was about to walk along the wall, when he saw a hand touching Jiang Li's buttocks. His eyes instantly turned cold.
He walked directly to the outside and let Jiang Li walk against the wall.
Jiang Li glanced at him and moved his fingers, and the man next to him fell to the ground with his front teeth broken.
Hearing the commotion behind him, Snape was about to turn around, but Jiang Li excitedly pulled his hand and pointed in a direction.
"Look at that thing!"
Hearing this, Snape looked in the direction she pointed.
Several couples in love were kissing under the huge Christmas tree.
Snape's ears instantly turned red, and he said angrily, "What's so good about that?"
"Who said it's not pretty? This is the first time I've seen such a big teddy bear. Let's go over and take a photo."
Jiang Li excitedly pulled Snape over. There were many children standing next to the huge bear-shaped doll, waiting to take photos with it.
Snape then realized that he had been thinking the wrong thing and fell silent.
He thought Jiang Li was so wicked that he deliberately let him watch a couple kissing.
If it were at Hogwarts, he would definitely deduct all the house points from these couples.
Jiang Li tidied his clothes, pulled Snape in front of the puppet, and smiled towards the camera.
"Little boy, smile."
The photographer said to Snape, who had a blank expression on his face.
Hearing this, Snape forced a stiff smile.
"Be more natural and don't be so nervous."
The photographer pressed the shutter as he spoke.
They take photos for tourists here specially and have set up a quick and expedited photo development service, but it costs extra.
Jiang Li wanted to go somewhere else for a stroll, so he gave the money first.
Looking at the crowds of people around him, Jiang Li was very happy.
She hadn't felt such an aura for a long time.
In the previous life, the Tianyuan Continent was in constant war and everyone was in danger. The cultivators in the city did not dare to hold large banquets because the demons would often take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the human cultivation city and start a massacre.
When Jiang Li was ten years old, he encountered a situation where the demons self-destructed in the most prosperous place in a human city, killing many cultivators and mortals, and the smell of blood did not dissipate for a month.
It’s great that we don’t have to worry about anyone dying here.
"Severus, do you want to experience the feeling of flying?" Jiang Li looked at Snape with burning eyes.
"No." Snape refused decisively, "There are too many people here. Don't let the Muggles see you using magic."
"You really want to fly."
Jiang Li had an expression that said, "I really understand you."
"Don't worry, I have already used a confusion spell on the people around us. They won't notice anything unusual about us."
"No."
That's not what he meant.
Before Snape could finish his words, he felt himself rising into the air, getting farther and farther away from the ground, and subconsciously grabbed the person next to him.
"What are you doing! I don't even want to fly."
The feeling of weightlessness made him feel uneasy. He didn't dare to look down. He grabbed Jiang Li's clothes tightly and his voice sounded very angry.
"Don't be afraid, slowly open your eyes and look down, the scenery below is actually quite beautiful."
A clear voice sounded in Snape's ears, and he heard Jiang Li say in a mean voice: "If you don't look, I will dig your eyes out."
"..."
Snape could only grit his teeth and open his eyes.
The two of them were suspended in the air, and Jiang Li held his left hand.
Snape looked down and felt a strong sense of dizziness. He held Jiang Li's hand tightly and just wanted to leave here quickly.
"Are you bad at flying class?" Jiang Li asked.
She remembered how popular Quidditch was and how Snape, who was afraid of flying, could play Quidditch.
"I've seen enough, you can let me go."
Snape squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
"Wait a moment, I'll give you another surprise." Jiang Li said, holding his hand.
The next second, a streak of fire jumped out from the horizon not far away, leaving a trail of smoke in the air and exploding in the air. There was a loud bang, and brilliant fireworks bloomed in the dark night, just near the two of them.
Facing the brilliant fireworks directly, Jiang Li showed an expression of amazement on his face.
Snape's black eyes reflected the light of the fireworks, and he subconsciously looked at Jiang Li beside him.
Her hair seemed to be dyed the color of fireworks, and there was a recklessness and joy in her eyes that he had never seen before.
