Life in Spider Tail Alley began with the constant quarrels in the small grey houses.

Did the noise in his ears wake up the person who was drifting between dream and reality? Or was it a living creature?

So noisy. Lin Sipu opened his eyes. A few seconds later, he opened his mouth in disbelief and rubbed his eyes.

God, are you kidding me?

In front of him was not the familiar windowsill that Lin Sip was familiar with before he fell asleep. In fact, when he woke up, he was in an environment that was not even in the same room.

Look, there were dilapidated grey brick houses, muddy and dirty brick paths, winding forward. Not far away, black smoke drifted out of a factory, dyeing the already colorless world even darker.

This environment almost made Lin Sipu think that he had been maliciously abandoned in an abandoned town at the end of the world.

But obviously, from the noise around him and the little stars shining through the small houses, this was not an abandoned town.

The most intense quarrel was probably in the house deep in the alley.

Lin Sipu unconsciously moved closer to the house.

It was an unfamiliar tone, but Lin Sipu could understand it.

"Please, Tobia, don't drink anymore," a female voice pleaded, but it was obviously useless.

"Go away, Irene, it's all your fault, you witch!" Slap! It was the sound of someone being slapped, accompanied by the soft sobs of a child.

"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be in such dire straits!

Go away! "the male voice scolded.

"Tobia, no, Tobia, that's the last of the money, we still need to eat," the female voice kept pleading.

"Go away, I'll use this money to win more money. How can I, Tobia, Snape, live in a small broken house!"

Bang! The door was knocked open. A sloppy man broke through the door and walked past Lin Sipu towards the casino in his memory.

There was no light in the house. Obviously, this family was so poor that they couldn't even afford a small candle. But through the sunlight from the rising sun, he could see a woman kneeling on the ground and sobbing softly. There seemed to be a small child curled up in the corner.

‘！！！’

Lin Sipu was shocked when the man walked past him. He couldn't be seen by others?

How could this be?

And — — Tobia, Snape?

It couldn't be what he thought … The crying woman seemed to be called Irene … Irene, Prins!!

God, what was going on?

He was just sleeping, why did he become transparent and even in Harry, Potter's world?

Lin Sipu was still immersed in the world of Harry, Potter, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Young Severus had wiped his tears and was about to leave the house. He carried the old basket and tried to go to the back of the mountain, hoping to see …

To reveal the truth of the matter, An Die Building

"Hello, sir."

Lin Sipu's attention was drawn back by the young voice. He looked around and realized that young Severus seemed to be talking to him. "You — — can see me?"

"Yes, sir, I'm very sorry. Father just walked through your body." Severus's small face was full of apology.

"Then, madam —"

"I think I'm the only one who can see you, sir." The small face was conflicted again. "I'm very sorry, sir. I don't know how to make it up to you."

Lin Sipu was instantly charmed by the young professor who hadn't yet turned into the greasy bat that the Hogwarts students called him. "It's okay. You see, you're the only one who can see me. If you don't mind, can I stay by your side today and talk to you a little?"

This was perhaps the simplest compensation Severus had ever heard. He said briskly, "It would be my pleasure, sir."

Lin Sipu was sure that he could walk, but he couldn't be seen by others.

He could only follow Severus in silence. Lin Sipu didn't talk to Severus when there were many people around. It would make Severus look weird.

Soon, Lin Sipu followed Severus to the back of the mountain, a place full of all kinds of plants.

On the way, Lin Sipu learned a bit about life in Spidertail Alley. Of course, Severus was the one who talked the whole way. Lin Sipu was obviously a good listener for a child whose parents didn't care about him.

"Sir, I don't even know your name," the boy stopped and asked softly.

"Prins," Lin Sipu answered after thinking for two seconds. He had once given himself a name after his favorite professor's family. It obviously came in handy now. "What about you?"

"Severus — Severus Snape." The boy's eyes lit up. "Sir, you have the same family name as my mother!"

"It's my pleasure," Lin Sipu said.

"My mother rarely mentions her family name, sir. She says she comes from a noble family," Severus talked to Lin Sipu as he searched for wild vegetables.

"Sir, are you from this family as well?"

"I hope so," Lin Sipu said. "But I'm not."

"I'm sorry, sir."

Severus could hear the regret in Lin Sipu's voice. "My father says it's a dangerous family name. Hmm … I mean, sir, do you know about wizards?"

"I'm very interested."

"My father said that being a wizard would bring bad luck. He said that it was all my fault that he became so poor. My mother also forbade me from asking about these things. She even showed me some interesting books, until I let a book fly in front of my father. After that, my mother locked the books in a box."

Severus suddenly turned around and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you afraid of me, sir? My father says I'm a wizard just like my mother. Wizards are all monsters."

"Afraid?" I'm not even afraid of losing, Lin Sipu thought.

"Of course not. Others can't see me, but you can. Aren't you afraid?"

"Sir, you look very nice. I'm not afraid of you, sir." Severus shook his head.

Then, as if he had discovered something, he bent down to pick it up. "Ah!" the boy shouted.

Lin Sipu saw the cut on the boy's hand. He hurriedly took out a band-aid and put it on the wound, forgetting about his ghostly body.

But something unexpected happened. The band-aid in his hand materialized as soon as it touched Severus' finger.

Severus's eyes widened. "S-sir!

Are you a wizard too? "he asked in surprise.

"Well …" Lin Sipu didn't know how to explain it to the boy. "Probably." Why could he still use his dimension?

Then, did that mean that he could use his own special ability?

With this thought in mind, Lin Sip opened his palm, and a stalk of Achillea Grass grew slowly.

"You must be a powerful wizard," Severus said.

"Well, being a wizard isn't that dangerous, is it?" Lin Sipu tilted his head and looked at the boy.

"Here, see if you can touch it."

The boy obediently stretched out his small hand. "Ah!

I touched it, sir! "The boy was a little excited." What is it, sir? "

"Needlegrass," Lin Sipu thought. That's probably one of the words you'll use the most in your taunts.

Whenever Lin Sipu came into contact with a plant, information about it would appear in his mind. Thinking back to the description of needlegrass, Lin Sipu understood why the Potioneering Professor would use that word.

But if Severus could touch these things, perhaps he could secretly feed them to Severus. After all, the Professor's childhood was terrible.

Lin Sipu took out an apple from his dimensional pocket and quietly placed it on Severus' head.

Severus raised his head in surprise. "Sir?"

"Since you're the only one who can see me and touch them, I think this is a miracle from Merlin," Lin Sipu said calmly. "It's yours now."

"Thank you!

Sir!

I want to give it to my mother. Is that okay? "Severus asked shyly." She hasn't eaten fruit in a long time. "

"Leave the good for your parents. You deserve better." Severus, your heart is always so kind. There's a softness hidden under that cold exterior.

Lin Sipu suddenly felt sorry for Professor Snape, who was still young and ignorant.

His eyes gradually became dangerous. Thinking of his infuriating father, his weak and useless mother, and all the hardships he would have to endure in the future, Lin Sipu wanted to kill someone.

"Sir —" Severus keenly sensed Lin Sipu's displeasure and immediately became afraid. The environment he was in made the four year old child sensitive to all kinds of emotions.

"Sorry, I just thought of something."

Lin Sipu smiled apologetically and took out two more apples. "Then go. I hope you'll be happy today." Although he wasn't happy about Severus's love for his terrible parents, what could he do?

Lin Sipu was also confused about his current situation. He couldn't even take care of himself.

"Thank you, sir!" Severus happily took the apples. "Sir — you look so good when you smile."

"?" Look good when I smile?

"Thank you for the compliment." How long had it been since he lived in the apocalypse and walked on the edge of danger every day?

"Sir, I think it's time for me to go home."

Severus lifted the basket. Before he knew it, it was already covered with a layer of wild vegetables. There were three apples in the corner. For Lin Sipu, it was nothing, but it was enough to satisfy the family of three for a day.

Life in the slums was always so difficult.

Severus carried the basket that was half his height and walked with difficulty to the gloomy house.

"Sir, will you be there tomorrow?" Severus asked secretly before he entered the house.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I should be." Lin Sipu suddenly felt sleepy, but it was only noon.

"Then, see you tomorrow, sir." Severus said goodbye to Lin Sipu and walked into the small, run-down house.

"Goodbye.

Future Grand Potion Master. "The last four words were almost inaudible.

Lin Sipu felt his eyelids grow heavy. He could almost hear Severus talking to Irene about the three apples. Irene didn't seem very happy, and Severus cleverly didn't mention Lin Sipu's existence. In the end, Lin Sipu fell into darkness.
