Gentleman's Night Canteen

Lan Meng, who closed the laptop, stood up in a hurry. As for Maomaowon, he manipulated the sweeper with his tail and hid temporarily. After all, Maomaowon didn't know that it was Lanmeng's acquaintance who appeared after the store door opened. Still a stranger.

"Excuse me, Mr. Lan Meng."

The black-haired boy in a black robe bowed reflexively when he saw Lan Meng walking towards him.

If the other party's actions at this time are seen by the other party's classmates, they may be shocked.

It's not that the other party is usually rude. In fact, although the other party is usually cold, his etiquette is impeccable when facing the school's professors.

Of course, it was limited to this, they had never seen such a warm side of each other.

Know that even the best Potions professor who admires him the most, treats him with the best Potions Master, he respects more than he warmly.

But Lan Meng, who didn't know about this, didn't pay much attention to it. After all, in Lan Meng's impression, Snape had always been a 'big boy' who looked cold, but was actually not good at communicating with others.

So the smile on his face became more natural.

"Don't bother, after all, if the restaurant is always empty, I will be more distressed."

Faced with Lan Meng's 'self-deprecating', Snape did not continue, but unconsciously scanned the restaurant behind Lan Meng as if looking for something.

And Lan Meng probably guessed who the other party was looking for, so he just spoke directly.

"Lysa hasn't come here yet, is there something wrong? Do you need me to call her for you?"

Because Lai Sha came to the restaurant every day during this time, Lan Meng and the other party were completely familiar, and even Lisa told Lan Meng of the other party's address.

But Snape was a little disappointed after hearing Lan Meng's words, but then shook his head.

"I'll wait for Miss Lysa here."

"In that case, would you like some snacks or drinks?"

"A butterbeer."

"No problem, just a moment."

After speaking, Lan Meng also turned around and went to the kitchen, while Snape unconsciously looked at the dining room...

Chapter 2 Voldemort is calling?

Lanmeng store now mainly serves three kinds of drinks.

Fruit juice, butter beer, sherry.

Among them, tree fruit juice is sold to all diners, but the "hidden product" "Guanling Juice" is a "special drink" that only a few regular customers know about. Of course, most people would not order it even if they knew about it. After all, this kind of concentrated juice named "Guanling Juice" is not something that ordinary people can drink.

As for the butter beer and sherry wine, they are only served to the guests who seem suitable to Blue Dream.

After all, although Lan Meng doesn't know whether the original version of 'butter beer' has alcohol, at least the version he made has alcohol.

However, to Snape's surprise, when he opened the book recommended to him by the school's Potions professor and prepared to continue studying, there seemed to be something other than a large glass of butterbeer in front of him.

Grass green strange food.

"what is this?"

Snape couldn't help showing a puzzled expression, because he smelled medicine from the strange food.

"This is the finished product of the 'Healing Pudding' that Lysa and I made during this time. Snape also participated in the preparatory stage. Now that the finished product is ready, don't you plan to try it?"

Following Lan Meng's answer, Snape instantly showed an expression of enlightenment.

Before, he and Lily had a quarrel because of the dispute with those four bastards. Under the persuasion of Blue Dream and the others, Snape decided to take the initiative to apologize, and under Shirou's suggestion, he also prepared something that he saw. Come for the right 'apology gift'.

That was the potion in the shape of a snack.

For this reason, he came to Lanmeng store to study for several days.

Although the picture of the other party wearing an apron standing in front of the kitchen counter is a bit subtle, but I have to say that as a wizard with good talent in potions, he also has good talent in fire control and other aspects, and he quickly completed his "Potion Cookies", and after completing his goal, he seldom comes to the store because he needs to inquire about Lily's situation.

He even visited Lily's friends in Gryffindor for this.

Unlike Snape, who is aloof and aloof, even in Slytherin, Lily has a lot of friends who are always smiling and good at potions.

In fact, many Gryffindor students were scared to death when Snape knocked on the door suddenly during the holidays.

After all, at this point in time, the Dark Lord, or the second-generation Dark Lord, is making troubles everywhere, and Slytherin is called a "Death Eater reserve" by the other three houses, and Snape is even more so by countless people. Considered to be 'born Death Eaters', in this case, especially some Muggle Gryffindors, what would be the reaction if Snape, who was unfamiliar or even had friction, appeared at their door?

'Voldemort calling? ! '

This is the first reaction of most little wizards.

Fortunately, it turns out that all this was just a false alarm.

Snape simply came to inquire about Lily's situation.

Although almost everyone didn't know about Lily's situation, Snape didn't say much, and chose to leave directly, but some little wizards who still kept in touch during the holiday discovered something by accident when they communicated with each other... …

'You got knocked by Snape? '

'Fuck!The same to you? '

'I'm because of Lily, what about you? '

'me too! '

Similar exchanges kept appearing in letters, and as more and more people knew about it, almost everyone knew about it. Some Slytherin students felt that Snape was a little strange. The Snape they had in mind was different.

But I don't know whether it was because Snape made too much noise, or because he really searched all the little wizards who might have contact with Lily, and finally he really found her.

At that time Lily was traveling with her family...

"That is to say, you went to France to chase the other party?"

Because of familiarity, Lan Meng was sitting opposite Snape with a glass of milk at this time. Although Snape didn't describe in detail how much effort he had wasted, just the fact that he chased the other party abroad made Lan Meng feel a little nervous. Surprisingly, this action can work.

"I'm not chasing... well, I'm just chasing."

Snape not only looked aloof, but also was very dishonest in terms of feelings. After hearing Lan Meng's complaints, his first reaction was to deny, but then he changed it back, because he suddenly remembered something .

That day, I didn't know if it was because I was drunk that I actually told all about myself. Now that I think about it, I really regret it, but fortunately, Lan Meng and the others are a group of 'trustworthy adults'.

At least what he said in the store has not been spread so far.

And facing Snape who suddenly became honest after being awkward, Lan Meng was also a little curious.

"Then what happened? Did the girl forgive you?"

Having said this, the expression on Snape's face instantly became a little ugly.

"No……"

If it was just a little cold before, then it is probably hard now.

But then he seemed to remember something, and his voice gradually softened.

"Lily, after reading the 'Potion Snack' I made, she criticized it as useless and asked me to come back and change it, so I plan to ask Miss Lysaline..."

According to Snape's observation, the people who appeared in the Lanmeng shop should not be students of the Magic Academy, but should be traditional or retro wizards. The current mainstream in the wizarding world is different, and even some drugs have different names.

But even so Snape still had to admit that although Lysaline looked not much older than him, she was far ahead of him in terms of potions.

For the first time, Snape, who had been dubbed a 'Potions Genius' by the Potions professor at the school, experienced complete frustration for the first time.

After all, even though he was the Potions professor in the school, he still had the confidence to surpass him within a few years, but he felt frustrated for the first time in the face of Lysaline, who was about the same age as him but stronger than him.

But the frustration was the frustration, and Snape didn't think about admitting defeat.

As an 'opponent', Lai Shalin is indeed a difficult opponent, but as a teammate, he has to admit that the other party is trustworthy, so after Lily complained about his potion, his first reaction was to find Lai Shailene discusses ways to improve.

It's just that he suddenly found that after he finished speaking, Lan Meng didn't even seem to drink milk, but just looked at him with a glass of stupid expression.

"?"

Looking at Snape with an innocent face, Lan Meng didn't know how to complain for a while.

Because I was complained by my girlfriend, so I asked another girl for help?

This brain circuit...

Basically hopeless...

Chapter 3 Master of Emotions·Blue Dream

Although Lan Meng's expression was very rude, fortunately, Lan Meng was not a riddler, and after being speechless for a while, he spoke again.

"Snape, what do you think Miss Lily would do if she really hated you?"

"What will you do? Beat me hard?"

Maybe Snape is the best among his peers in terms of learning and ability, but he is really a junior when it comes to emotional issues.

James's way of harassing Lily like a bear child is indeed annoying to the other party, but in a certain way it is better than Snape.

If there were no twists and turns, maybe the two would grow up slowly in this way, getting familiar with each other's existence, and then one day one of them confessed to the other, and finally came together logically.

But the premise is 'no twists and turns'.

James, the spoiler, will not be mentioned for the time being. In fact, at least for now, his existence has not affected the relationship between Lily and Snape. What he did before is more of a pure fuse. The real 'dynamite' actually stemmed from Snape's quest for the Dark Arts.

Lily's understanding of black magic is no different from that of ordinary people. In her opinion, black magic is linked to dark wizards, and she doesn't want her friend to become a dark wizard, so she tries her best to dissuade him.

But Snape believed that magic was magic, black magic could kill people, so couldn't ordinary magic kill people?

And he proudly believes that he can control black magic. For him, black magic is no different from ordinary magic. It is even more useful in this chaotic world. At least he can fight back more powerfully when facing real black wizards. .

As for why he pursued power?

Simple, because he wishes to use it to protect those he wishes to protect.

It's a pity that Snape, who is not good at words, didn't convey his thoughts to Lily, and Lily also felt that she was doing it for Snape's good, but the other party didn't listen.

Obviously both of them are for each other, but in the end they got farther and farther and even started to have a rift, and this incident completely detonated the accumulated rift between the two.

As for Snape's cognition of "hate", it naturally originated from Gryffindor, not to mention the battle between him and James and the "predators" headed by James, it is only Slytherin and Gryffindor This entanglement has been entangled for so many years that the two sides are unhappy with each other, and later because of Lily, the two sides fight every chance they get.

In his view, he 'hates' the other party!

But to his surprise, Lan Meng shook his head after hearing his words.

"No, it's ignoring."

"Ignore?"

For Snape's rhetorical question, Lan Meng once again raised a new question.

"What do you think of that 'potion' you made?"

"I think it is at least a qualified potion."

Normally, Snape would be more confident, but Lily's criticism made him a little unconfident. Lan Meng didn't comment too much on this, but continued to talk.

"As you said, the 'potion' you made should not be as useless as the other party said, so why would the other party do this? Is it simply humiliating you? At least from what you said before, the other party should not be This kind of personality, the only reason is that the other party is still angry at what you did, so why are you angry? You should know the answer better than me, but as I said before, the real hate, completely ignore your existence, If she really intends to break up with you, then I'm afraid she won't see you at all."

Although Lan Meng made a big circle, Snape still understood what Lan Meng meant.

Lan Meng was telling him that although there was friction between him and Lily now, he still had a chance... Isn't it?That's not what was discussed in the first place, is it?

"Mr. Lan Meng, we were talking about Miss Lai Shalin at first, right? Why did it suddenly involve me?"

Looking at Snape who still didn't understand what he said, Lan Meng sighed helplessly and put the cup in his hand on the table.

"What I mean is very simple. Compared with the so-called 'perfect potion', the key lies in the 'sincerity of apology'. Even if Lysa can help you make the potion more perfect, if that Miss Lily asks you Will you mention Lysa during the potion improvement process? If the other party doesn't care about you, then everything is empty talk. If the other party still cares about you, but you say that you were with another girl during the summer vacation... Do you think the other party What would you think?"

Following what Lan Meng said, Snape instantly showed an expression of enlightenment.

indeed.

As a scientific research madman, once he entered the state, all he could think about was how to complete the potion, but he ignored one of the most basic things, that is, his goal was not the potion at all, but to get Lily's forgiveness.

Lan Meng, this is simply a word that awakens the dreamer!

"Mr. Lan Meng! Thank you very much!"

"Just a little thing."

"No! It may be a trivial matter to you, Mr. Lan Meng, but it is very important to me!"

For Snape's gratitude, Lan Meng waved towards him indifferently, but judging from the fact that he unconsciously stroked the cat in his arms twice, Lan Meng was still in a good mood.

Looking at Lan Meng's confident expression, Snape couldn't help sighing secretly in his heart.

Mr. Lan Meng looks tall and handsome, coupled with his unfathomable strength, he still runs a shop in Diagon Alley. Although he is not a student of Hogwarts, he was also a man of the same age before, and there must be many The girl confessed to him quietly, no wonder she is so experienced.

Seeing Lan Meng with a happy face and Snape with an adoring face, Mao Mao Beast, who was held in Lan Meng's arms, couldn't help but tilt his head.

Because of the conversation between Lan Meng and Snape, she probably figured out the cause and effect, but she always felt that something was wrong.
