Harry Potter: Impossibly Cute

The three of them were in a stalemate for a long time, and Ling Bai also understood the current situation.

He really had no way to convince the two people to let him go, so he could only think of other ways.

But Gellert seemed to have made an agreement with Tom, and the two of them took turns to watch over and accompany Ling Bai.

Even the time of eating is like this.

What Ling Bai couldn't stand the most was that they would watch him even when he was taking a bath.

When Ling Bai was taking a shower, they would take out the key, open the other end of the shackles and put them on their hands.

After two days of this, Ling Bai calmed down.

The only thing he could do now was to lower their alertness.

But he didn't expect that when he woke up on the third morning, the person he saw was not Tom and Gellert, but Snape.

Snape's expression was a little pale, and there were dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not slept well in the past few days.

“You are in the same group with them.”

Ling Bai leaned lazily on the edge of the bed, with no expression on his face, no anger, no sadness.

He seemed to have really accepted his current situation.

Snape shook his head.

"I didn't know they were doing this, but after I wrote to you for a few days and you didn't reply, I realized something was wrong, so I came to them."

"How did you make yourself so embarrassed?"

Ling Bai tilted his head and looked at him. The man in front of him seemed to have lost some weight, with a hint of worry and apology in his eyes.

"sorry"

Ling Bai gently shook his ankle, and the iron chain made a crisp sound.

"Why should I say sorry? Don't you know?"

Snape took a deep breath.

"They came to me and wanted me to join forces with them to keep you here. I refused, but selfishness also made me choose to hide it, so I didn't tell you.

I just didn't expect them to do that, I'm sorry."

Ling Bai reached out and smoothed Snape's hair, stroking his eyes with his fingertips.

"So you've been thinking about this for the past few days, and nothing has happened?"

Snape pursed his lips slightly and nodded.

"So Professor, are you going to help me get out of here?"

Snape was oddly silent.

Ling Bai sighed.

"As expected, you don't want me to leave. It's my own fault. I told you to wait, but I don't know how long I'll be gone this time.

I am indeed too selfish to let you wait for something that is illusory and has no end in time."

Snape clenched his fists.

"I'll find a way to make you leave"

Ling Bai looked at him sideways.

"Don't you want me to stay, Sev?"

Ling Bai seldom called Snape's name, and mostly called him Professor sweetly.

"They are both insane, but I am awake. This place cannot hold you. It may only hold you for a short period of time, but you will eventually leave."

Ling Bai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly put his hand to cover his forehead.

Her hand obscured the expression and look on her face, so Snape couldn't see clearly.

"Professor, you are really something that I can't do anything to you."

Snape lowered his eyes. Of course, he had made a great decision.

He finally chose to do so because he couldn't bear to see Ling Bai's dim eyes.

Anyway, he was already used to waiting, so there was no harm in waiting a little longer.

"How can I help you?"

"Get the key to unlock my shackles, or remove the spell on them."

Snape walked over and touched the intricate charms on the shackles.

"What are you doing? Do you want to release the little canary?"

A slightly joking voice sounded, but there was a hint of coldness in the voice.

Snape turned around and saw Gellert appear at the door of the basement without him knowing when.

He was looking at them with his arms folded across his chest and smiling.

"Snape, even now, do you still stick to your idea?"

Snape was silent for a second. He knew he couldn't go against Gellert and the others now.

Otherwise, he would have no way to help Ling Bai leave here.

"I'm just afraid that the shackles are too hard and make him uncomfortable."

Gellert nodded, not knowing whether he believed what Snape said or not.

"Baby, did you miss me today?"

Gellert walked to the bed and kissed Ling Bai.

Ling Bai didn't say anything. In the past few days, he had been indifferent to Gellert and Tom's goodwill.

Gellert obviously didn't care how Ling Bai treated him.

"Today's afternoon tea is your favorite scones, and I also made black tea for you."

A house-elf appeared in the basement with a food cart, then quickly left.

Gellert pushed the dining cart in front of Ling Bai.

The two-story dining cart is filled with a variety of small desserts.

"I recently went shopping for some interesting books, and thought you might be interested."

Gellert was talking to himself.

The wheat aroma of biscuits wafted into his nose. Ling Bai took a look at the biscuits handed to his mouth and suddenly spoke.

"Grindelwald, is it interesting to sing a one-man show?"

Gellert's smile froze, a gloomy look flashed across his eyes, and he put the biscuit back on the plate.

"Baby, you are so cruel. You don't even call me by my name."

"You should have expected that I would treat you like this, right?"

Gellert chuckled, a little self-deprecating.

"Yeah, I should have thought of that earlier."

Ling Bai closed his eyes, obviously not wanting to bother with Gellert anymore.

Gellert clenched his hands that fell to his sides, veins popping out on his arms.

Gellert glanced at Snape.

"You are really smart"

Snape said nothing.

"You stay with him, I'm leaving."

Gellert turned and left. His back seemed so resolute and decisive, yet so lonely, with a hint of pity.

After Gellert left, the depressing atmosphere was obviously a little better.

Ling Bai patted the side of his bed, apparently asking Snape to come and sit over.

Snape walked over and Ling Bai put his head close to Snape.

He took a deep breath, and his tense body seemed to relax a lot.

"Sif"

The boy's voice was soft and full of nostalgia.

"Um"

Snape's Adam's apple rolled up and down.

"I can only rely on you now"

"I know"

Snape finished dinner with Ling Bai. Tom came and drove Snape away.

Ling Bai smiled at Snape, but the smile disappeared instantly when his eyes fell on Tom.

"You really have always liked him so much."

Tom almost uttered these words through gritted teeth.

"Riddle, do you really think you are doing the right thing?"

"Of course I'm doing the right thing, baby."

Ling Bai stopped talking and just looked at the book in his hand in silence.

The night is very dark, and today's moon is blocked by dark clouds, with not a single ray of moonlight shining through.

A strong wind suddenly blew outside and rain began to fall heavily.

In the basement, Tom fell asleep with Ling Bai in his arms.
