Chapter 91 Do you have hair growth liquid?
There was a long silence, and the air became somewhat stagnant.
"If you don't want to say it, you don't have to." Jiang Li said.
"There's nothing to hide. Irene came to see me today. She said she remembered what happened in the past and she hoped I could go back to the Prince family with her."
Snape's voice didn't fluctuate much. As he recalled what happened today, there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"Sev, I'm sorry."
Snape was called out by Professor McGonagall in the afternoon. He was still a little confused as to who was looking for him. As soon as he went out, he was hugged by Irene.
Irene was wearing an elegant burgundy wizard robe and had a rosy complexion. She looked nothing like the timid person she was when she was with Tobias.
Snape's body stiffened.
He is not used to being too close to someone, even if that person is his biological mother.
"I remember everything now." Irene didn't notice his abnormality. She hugged Snape tightly, her voice choking. "I'm sorry it took me so long to come to you."
Snape felt no wavering when he heard the apology.
"What do you want from me?" he asked calmly.
Unexpectedly, Snape's reaction was so indifferent. Irene looked at him sadly.
"Do you still hate me, Sev?" She looked at Snape and said guiltily, "I couldn't accept Tobias' death at that time, so I said those words that made you sad.
I know you are my child, but I really...I really don’t know how to face this.”
Snape looked at Irene quietly, at her meticulously groomed hair and the light makeup on her face, and said slowly:
"You don't need to face anything. Just treat the past as if it never happened and forget about it. You can live your life in peace. Your life should be good now. There's no need to come to me again."
"You are my child, how can I give up on you?" Irene looked at Snape distressed and guilty, "You must have suffered a lot while I was by your side."
"..." Snape couldn't help but sneered at Irene, "Do you just like deceiving yourself? Do you think I'm not doing well now?
I am living a good life now. Someone will take care of my food, clothing, shelter and transportation every day. I will never be beaten or scolded again, I will never go hungry, and I don’t have to watch my mother compromise because of damn love. "
Irene stared at Snape with eyes wide open in disbelief, "How could you say such things to your mother? Who taught you to say that?"
Snape rubbed his brow in annoyance, looked at Irene and said, "If you don't have anything else important, I'll leave first."
"Wait." Irene stopped Snape who was about to leave and said quickly, "Your grandfather saw the paper you published in Potions Weekly. He admires you very much and knows that you are a very talented child.
Sever, change your last name to Prince, your grandfather will teach you the knowledge of potions himself, and you will become a great potion master. "
Irene's eyes lit up when she talked about this.
Snape withdrew his hand, looked at Irene calmly and said, "I won't go back. My life is good now. I hope you won't disturb me."
Originally, he had one last hope, hoping that Irene came to him because she couldn't bear to leave her son. Now, the last bit of delusion has been shattered.
It turned out that I saw the value in him, so I came to find him.
It has been so many years since Irene returned to the Prince family. Snape didn't believe that it took her so long to realize that there was something wrong with her memory. After all, he left many loopholes at that time.
If Irene had wanted to investigate, she would have been able to remove the spell he cast long ago.
But after so many years, Irene seemed to have just realized the problem with herself, which made Snape find it a little ridiculous.
In his previous life, too, people from the Prince family had approached him after he became famous, trying to use Irene to rekindle the bond of family affection between them.
I didn't expect it to happen in this life.
"Today I will pretend that you were not here and we will forget about this matter." said Snape.
"Sif..."
Irene called out his name sadly.
Snape didn't want to continue chatting with her and left.
This conversation made him feel bad. He wanted to go out for some fresh air when no one was around, but he bumped into Jiang Li who had just returned, and was discovered.
"Help you deal with Irene?" Jiang Li asked.
"No, I've made it clear to Irene. She won't come again." Snape said slowly.
"Okay." Jiang Li rubbed his head, paused for two seconds and asked, "Do you have hair growth liquid?"
"No, do you want it?" Snape asked.
"It's fine if you don't."
Jiang Li gave Snape a sly smile, and before he could react, he released flames from his fingertips, burning half of his hair. He quickly fled, laughing wildly.
"Gardenia!!!"
Snape was so angry that his head was cracking, and smoke was coming out of his head as he chased Jiang Li.
James and Sirius, who were out for a night stroll, heard the roar and shuddered in fear.
"Sirius, were there two strange figures floating through the castle just now?"
"It seems like... one of them is still smoking."
Sirius swallowed, feeling like he had touched something dirty.
"How about...we go back tonight and come out tomorrow?"
"No, aren't we trying to find out what Lupin does every day? We're already halfway there, how can we give up halfway!" James said in a serious voice.
"It's possible that Peeves was playing a prank just now. Let's go quickly, or we'll lose track of him."
They are brave Gryffindors, how could they be scared by a little difficulty?
Sirius thought so too, and the two of them put on invisibility cloaks and secretly headed in the direction of this year.
"I was wrong. I saw that you were too sad about Irene's matter, so I wanted to divert your attention."
Jiang Li was chased to the corner by the angry Snape and yelled at. He confessed with a look of regret on his face. He caught a glimpse of Snape's half-bald head from the corner of his eye. The corners of his mouth, which he had tried hard to suppress downward, kept rising up, and his expression became a little distorted.
"Pfft..."
Snape gave Jiang Li a death stare, and seeing that she could still smile, he clenched his fists.
Jiang Li immediately admitted his mistake sincerely and said, "It's okay. Although you are bald, it doesn't affect your handsomeness at all. If you are angry, we can go get some hair growth liquid now, hahaha..."
Jiang Li, who was trying hard to hold back his laughter, couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw Snape's hair.
Snape's face turned black as the bottom of a pot. He looked at Jiang Li and said, "You can ask me to forgive you, but I have a request."
Jiang Li:?
Ten minutes later, Jiang Li looked at his half-bald head in the mirror and felt like crying but had no tears.
She looked at Snape who was making a hair growth potion at the operating table and asked, "How long will it take to make the hair growth potion?"
Snape looked at the potion ingredients, turned his head expressionlessly to look at Jiang Li, then silently looked away, his mouth slightly twisted and his eyes filled with smiles.
"I can't make the potion today because I'm missing an important ingredient." He lowered his head and didn't look at Jiang Li's face. He suppressed a smile and said, "If I had known that your hair burned by the flames didn't need a hair growth spell to grow, you shouldn't have done this kind of thing."
Jiang Li: “…”
She was wrong. Forcing her to go to class with a bald head was more painful than killing her.
Jiang Li squatted in the corner silently, drawing circles, and his whole body had lost its vitality.
Seeing Jiang Li so sad, Snape coughed lightly and said slowly: "There are not enough materials here, but there are a lot in the Forbidden Forest. I saw the materials we need in the Forbidden Forest last time. Maybe we can go to the Forbidden Forest to collect them."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to the Forbidden Forest now!"
Jiang Li immediately regained his energy, picked up Snape and rushed to the Forbidden Forest.
