Harry Potter: Impossibly Cute

Bury your head in the crook of your partner's neck.

"It came back pretty quickly this time. I thought I would have to wait for decades."

Although it was a teasing remark with a smile, one could hear the hidden sadness in the words.

"This time I really tried my best to come back as soon as possible, but I didn't expect that it took so long. It's my fault."

Ling Bai's words were full of sincerity.

Gellert chuckled, his expression and actions were obviously more relaxed than at the beginning.

“I didn’t expect you to apologize.”

"It's just like how unreasonable I am."

Gellert's eyes fell on Snape, who had been following him without saying a word.

"So that's why you didn't come to me first?"

Ling Bai's body stiffened, the smile on his face became awkward, and he glanced at Snape guiltily.

"Because I landed in the Forbidden Forest, I went to find Sif first."

"Then you are the first one to come to see me?"

"the second"

Gellert raised his eyebrows, his expression clearly showing some disbelief.

“It’s really the second one”

"Without hesitation?"

Ling Bai fell silent again.

He found that this little fox who was used to lying was becoming less and less able to lie.

Or maybe he no longer wanted to lie to them.

"Forget it, no matter if you didn't hesitate or not, at least the second one came to see me. Now that we are here, let's play here for a few days and then go back."

Gellert had a harmless smile on his face, but everyone could hear what he was thinking.

"Don't try to trick me, or do you want to fight Tom again?"

"He, he's working himself into a rage right now. If you don't go find him, he might be the last one to know that you're back."

"What do you mean by that?"

"After you left, I heard that he devoted himself almost wholeheartedly to his career, but he is a boss who likes to exploit his subordinates, unlike me, who let my subordinates run free."

The little fox sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"Let's go, let's go back first"

Gellert shrugged. He just said it casually. After all, he knew that the person in front of him would not stay here with him for a few days before going to look for them.

He's not such a selfish person, right?

The three left Nurmengard.

"You really treat this place as your home, coming and going as you please. Aren't you afraid that the caretaker here will be pissed off by you?"

"It would be so boring for me to sleep alone in such a big place. I prefer to sleep more comfortably in this small square space."

Ling Bai was stunned, and his laughing expression subsided a little.

"Don't think too much"

Gellert instantly noticed his change in mood and reached out to touch his head.

Ling Bai felt a little sad and uncomfortable.

He really owed them too much.

After returning, it was almost evening, and Ling Bai planned to go directly to find Tom.

"You just picked me up and you're going to find someone else."

Gellert was unhappy.

"Gellert, I'll go see if Tom is back. You know, he's a tough guy to please."

"Okay, okay, we are too easy to please, so we are not important, right?"

Ling Bai looked at the opponent helplessly, and Gellert was defeated instantly.

"Forget it, I won't bother with you. I'll go back and find you early tomorrow morning."

Ling Bai smiled at Gellert and then looked at Snape.

"Professor, can I come to your house tomorrow night?"

Snape's eyes lit up and he nodded.

"Then you must remember to cook my favorite food."

"Well, I'll wait for you at home."

After seeing off the two giant Buddhas, Ling Bai returned to Tom's manor.

When I came back, the room was still empty, with no one in it.

Ling Bai sighed helplessly.

"I never thought that Tom would become a workaholic in his lifetime"

Ling Bai called out "Dobby", and the house-elf who had been hiding somewhere else in the manor ran out immediately after hearing someone calling him.

"little Master"

Dobby's face was full of surprise, followed by a burst of ecstasy.

"The little master is finally back, that's great, Dobby really missed the little master, everyone missed the little master very much"

Ling Bai smiled and calmed Dobby down.

"Dobby, can you tell me when Tom will come back? What has he been doing in the past 10 years since I was away?"

"Okay, the master's return time is not fixed, but it is basically after 12 o'clock in the evening. After returning, he spends most of his time in the study and leaves again early the next morning.

He seldom returns to his own room to rest, but generally when the owner is tired he will go to the young master's room. In the first few years after the young master left, the owner would often go to the young master's room.

Later, we went there less and less frequently, and the master never allowed us to clean the little master's room."

Ling Bai frowned slightly after listening to this.

"He really doesn't know how to take care of his body at all."

"Everyone has become very different since the young master left. Although Master Malfoy and his companions occasionally come to the manor, they always leave after discussing business.

After the little master left, everyone seemed to become silent, and Dobby could feel that they were not happy at all."

Ling Bai was stunned for a moment, his thoughts were churning and his mood was very complicated.

"I understand. Go and rest, Dobby."

"What would the little master like to eat tonight? Do you need Dobby to tell the master that the little master is back?"

"No need, I'll just make something for dinner. I guess he won't be back for dinner, so I'll wait for him here."

Although Dobby didn't quite understand, he still obediently left.

The minute hand on the wall turned round and round, and the sky outside gradually darkened and was shrouded in moonlight.

As Ling Bai waited, his eyelids began to feel heavy.

He managed to keep himself awake and looked at the time.

It's already 11pm.

Ling Bai had no plans to go back to rest, so he just sat on the sofa.

The entire living room was dim, with only a table lamp next to the sofa on, emitting a faint warm yellow light.

Ling Bai gradually lost consciousness and fell asleep on the sofa.

At 1 a.m., the closed door was opened.

The man in a suit opened the door and didn't notice anyone on the sofa at first.

He frowned slightly as he looked at the dark house and turned on the light.

As he walked in, his eyes swept across the sofa and saw a person lying on it.

The man was lying on the sofa and his face and figure could not be seen clearly.

Tom was stunned for a moment, then frowned tightly.

Who would be so bold as to sleep on the sofa in his house?

Tom strode over.

As he got closer to the sofa, the person sleeping on the bed came into his sight.

The walking movement suddenly stopped, and the man just stood there blankly beside the sofa, three or four steps away from it.
