【British and American】My miserable life studying abroad

After finishing a late breakfast, Wei Shengling wanted to urge Sherlock to go to rest, but Sherlock said that it was suitable to go to bed one to two hours after a meal, otherwise it would be bad for the stomach.

Two hours later it was eleven o'clock, Sherlock went to sleep and woke up in time for dinner.

So now there are two people browsing books in the library.

Sherlock and Wei Shengling both turn pages very quickly, and reading ten lines at a glance is their basic operation.

After flipping through four or five books without finding any clues, the girl rubbed her eyebrows and her eyes felt a little sore.

Sherlock put down the book in his hand and said, "Take a break for a while."

"Two hours are up, Sherlock."

Sherlock: ...

Ok.

It seems that even long periods of mental activity couldn't make Ling forget about this matter.

After Sherlock went back to rest, Wei Shengling was alone in the library flipping through books. Although he didn't find many clues, he saw a lot of interesting stories.

“Isn’t this the accomplice of the Snotlout?” Wei Shengling felt the light in front of him was blocked, and a familiar disgusting voice came, “Why are you here alone? Have you been abandoned——”

So sometimes troubles come in groups.

Without even raising his head, Wei Sheng Ling raised his voice, "Madame Pince - someone is violating the library rules here -"

She didn't have time to deal with these annoying guys now.

Madam Pince loved books very much and could not tolerate students violating school rules. She appeared here as if teleporting and said, "Let me see who has violated the library rules. Sirius Black, James Potter and Peter Pedrillou - now, please get out!"

Madam Pince was very thin, and she was very scary when she was angry. Wei Shengling added a bad luck debuff to the trio, and then thought about whether there was a sack in his space.

When you have time, just put them in a sack and beat them up.

Madam Pings drove the three people away, looked at Wei Shengling deeply again, and left without saying a word.

She had a bad temper, and anyone who destroyed the books or violated school rules in the library would be scolded or kicked out by her.

This one doesn't have one either.

She put down the "Anthology of Rare Potions" in her hand. This was the book that Sherlock took over to screen after he had read half of it. The potions in it were rare, but there was nothing related to the soul, right?

Could there be a "Precious Potion Anthology" in there?

It's really a headache.

She looked up and looked around. It was a huge library with numerous bookshelves and densely packed books...

Then look at the piles of books on your desk.

It looks like a lot, but it is insignificant compared to the entire library.

It's not a solution to look for a needle in a haystack like this.

When will Voldemort strike?

"Hello?" Wei Shengling noticed someone coming and thought he was looking for a seat. After hearing the low voice, she looked over and saw a person with red hair and green eyes.

"Lily Evans?"

"It's me. Hello, Suki." Lily breathed a sigh of relief, looking a little embarrassed. "Forgive me for calling you like that...your last name, I wanted to say it but it's too difficult to pronounce. You can also call me Lily."

"Lily." Wei Shengling picked up the pile of finished books on the right and put them back in their original places one by one - Sherlock left a note indicating where these books belonged.

"Let me help you." Lily shared half of the work for Wei Shengling and put the book back. The two sat back in their chairs. Looking at Wei Shengling who had picked up another book, Lily asked, "What are you looking for? Do you need my help?"

"Nothing, just taking a look." She turned a page of the book. Well, this book is quite interesting.

"Well," Lily took a deep breath, but still couldn't hold back her words, "I want to ask, what happened to Severus?"

"Is he mad at me because of that egomaniac?"

"That time, Severus and I secretly read Dumbledore's reply to Petunia. When we met again later, Severus had changed." Lily's eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement. "I don't know where he changed, but overnight, he made me feel different... It made me feel that there was a long distance between us."

Wei Shengling paused for a moment.

The eleven-year-old girl knew nothing. She only knew that overnight, her only wizard friend in the Muggle world changed and a distance grew between them.

On the Hogwarts Express, he met two strange people, and then there appeared a friend that Severus had never mentioned before -

She seemed to be excluded all of a sudden.

Until now, she still didn't understand why the two of them suddenly became so unfamiliar with each other.

Now Severus is actually an adult, but Lily is a real child...

"Lily, it's inevitable that we'll end this," Wei Sheng Ling said, "Perhaps it's because you can only go this far, and then you each have your own goals."

"Is it because of the college? I don't understand. They all say that Slytherin is an evil dark wizard, but Severus likes it here very much. But when I was with him before, he was obviously not that kind of person..."

Those ideas seemed too advanced for a child.

Wei Sheng Ling was just wondering how to answer when he felt someone walking towards him.

"Lily, let's talk outside."

Oh, Severus is awake.

The two walked out of the library, and soon Watson also entered the library. "What was Severus talking to Lily about?" He asked curiously. "I saw Lily crying."

"How should I know? Wait until Severus comes back and ask him." Wei Shengling handed Watson a book he had never read. "Come, let's read it together."

Snape soon came back and looked at Watson and Wei Shengling who seemed to be hesitant to talk. The corners of his mouth twitched. Just as he was about to speak, Wei Shengling made a pause gesture and opened the mental link.

Some things are not suitable to be said in public.

"I just made it clear to Lily."

"We each have our own paths. I am destined to follow the path of the Dark Arts, whether I join the Death Eaters or not. She is different. We have different philosophies."

"It's better to talk it out now than to have a falling out later. At least we can nod and say hello to each other when we pass each other in the future."

Wei Shengling nodded, this was indeed the best result.

They are destined to drift apart.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Sherlock came to the library again.

"Excuse me, Severus, make some room." He knocked on the book on the table, making a dull sound. Snape didn't say anything, but just moved to the side and watched Sherlock sit in the empty seat next to Wei Shengling. The two smiled at each other before starting to read.

Tsk.

Okay, we are both redundant, right?

The cold and gloomy Potions Master had already learned to roll his eyes expertly.
