HP Peter Can't Be That Cute

Severus Snape was very upset at this time, because his textbook was lost, which caused Lily to be caught for skipping classes. If only he had persuaded Lily to take this damn flying class. He shouldn't have spent too much time looking for the textbook, he should have gone to the professor to solve the problem earlier.

However, the culprits of the problem should be those four annoying guys. He recalled that Black and Potter were the most suspicious, so when Peter came in, Snape, with a stern face, showed an expression of disgust.

In the past, Snape just thought that Peter was a stupid lackey, but now he felt that he had made a mistake. He was clearly a fox in sheep's clothing, very insidious and cunning. He dared to threaten him, so he would not be polite to him.

Alayya felt the unfriendly gaze from the black-haired boy and consciously stood in the corner farthest away from him. When Lily saw him, she even showed a comforting expression of "Don't worry, me too". Alayya was a little touched. Fortunately, there are still good people here.

Professor McGonagall's attitude towards Snape and Lily was obviously different from Peter's. It was like the dean would be a little more lenient towards students with excellent academic performance, but they could not avoid labor service.

"I know Mr. Snape has always been prejudiced against Quidditch, but being biased in one subject is not what a good student should do. I will tell your dean about your absence from class." The serious look of the much younger Professor McGonagall made Snape not refute, but just accept it obediently.

Alaiya was very surprised at that time, wondering why he accepted it so obediently. Later she found out that he was actually looking forward to the labor service with Lily Evans, but he didn't expect to have her as an additional person.

"As for you, Miss Evans, you skipped classes for your friend. Sometimes Gryffindor does not encourage such righteousness."

"We're very sorry, Professor McGonagall. We know we were wrong~" Lily's answer satisfied McGonagall, mainly because of her sweet smile and sincere attitude. It was hard for people to continue blaming her in this world where appearance matters.

But when she turned to Peter, Professor McGonagall's blood boiled again. "As for you, I've heard Professor Horn say that you disrupted the discipline of the Potions class and even skipped class?!"

Alayya shrank her neck guiltily. Although she also wanted to act like Lily and act coquettishly, unfortunately she was a "man" now and would probably be considered a pervert.

Silence is golden. She tried hard to cosplay the simple and honest Alaya, but in the end, Professor McGonagall gave up on her. In the end, she deducted ten points from her and made them do compulsory labor together.

Alaia actually expected that there would be compulsory labor, but she didn't expect Professor McGonagall to be so ruthless and selfless. She suddenly felt a little flattered and thought that her "unlucky and weak" physique could be changed. Maybe one day she would be more likable?

But Snape became more and more resentful of the annoying foursome, especially Peter. He could have gone to the Forbidden Forest alone with Lily to complete their compulsory labor, but now there was an extra burden and an annoying person.

Their punishment came quickly. That very night, old Filch excitedly took a lantern and took the three of them to the Forbidden Forest, cursing. They needed to find the lost owl in the Forbidden Forest and send it back to the Owl Tower before the storm came.

"Let a few students go to the Forbidden Forest to catch owls? It would be better to let us go and catch trolls directly!" Snape thought of countless ways of labor, but he didn't expect it would be the worst one. He didn't want Lily to get hurt in the dangerous Forbidden Forest.

"Keep your voice down, Severus, he will hear you!" Lily pulled Snape's sleeve with a look of disapproval. She was worried that old Filch would take the opportunity to punish them. It would be bad if he left them alone in the Forbidden Forest, although as a little lion she was eager to try.

On the other hand, Alaia felt as if she was treated preferentially by old Filch, because she was the only one with a kerosene lamp, and even Filch looked at her kindly? He never swore at her and always spoke to her in a "calm" tone.

Was it because he felt a sense of sympathy for the unlucky "Peter"? They were both unpopular and had a low sense of existence, so he felt a genuine kindness towards Peter?

No matter what, Alayya followed Filch closely, afraid of getting lost. Behind her were a group of good friends holding hands. She could also clearly hear Snape's voice as he pretended to be calm and comforted Lily Evans, which was indescribably gentle and tolerant.

"Look at Sif, did the trees move on their own?"

"It might be the wind. Don't think too much... Look at that branch too." Snape put his arm around Lily's shoulders and explained to her shyly but firmly.

"You're right, Sev, we can't scare ourselves." Lily raised her wand and used Lumos. This way they could see the way clearly.

Snape did the same thing. The two of them standing together in "unity and friendship" made Alaya look sideways. They really have a good relationship~ Alaya looked at Lily with some envy.

How can she be a "traitor"? In addition to Peter, it would be fine if she became Professor McGonagall. At least the current Professor McGonagall is still young and promising.

Just as Alaia was in a daze, Filch in front of her disappeared. What happened? Would he really let the three third-year students complete the task alone?

Suddenly, the forbidden forest in the darkness became full of dangers. The howling of wolves could be heard in the deep forest, and the cries of unknown creatures swept in with the night wind, filling her ears. From time to time, plants with small thorns scraped against her trouser legs, entangled her hair, and even scratched the back of her hands.

Alaia now regretted walking in front to "open the way". She wanted to go around behind Snape and the others. Just as she was about to take a step, she heard Snape's dry and mocking voice, "What? Is the brave Gryffindor warrior scared?"

"No... I was worried that you would sneak away..." Alaia cursed Snape inwardly for being a good-for-nothing and deserved to not be able to find a partner. She turned around to look at Snape, only to find that he was stunned for a moment and then quickly looked away.

Snape was indeed stunned for a moment. In the dim moonlight, he suddenly saw Peter's big wet eyes. He was indeed very fond of crying and looked very weak, but he had never noticed that his eyes were so bright, like starlight in the dark night.

"Don't make fun of him, Sif. Peter is just a little timid. Let's walk side by side~" With the invitation of the little beauty, Alayya stepped back without any grudge and forcefully inserted herself between the two of them.

Snape was stunned. How could this guy shamelessly walk between him and Lily?

The three of them continued to walk deeper into the forbidden forest with different concerns, not knowing that they had already exceeded the range of exploration and that danger was waiting for them ahead...
