"Okay."
Manus took back Wand, turned to Eileen and Severus and told them the address of their new home.
So the new home that had just disappeared in front of the two of them, and could not even recall the disappearance process, reappeared in front of the two of them.
It's like it grew out of thin air.
Maybe it's because the houses here in Cokeworth really can't be sold. Hogwarts's Christmas holiday is only a short time in total, and Muggle, including government departments, also have a short holiday during this period.
Under this circumstance, Manus was able to see Severus and Eileen move into their new home before the holiday ended...
Looking at the new home in front of him, which was neither luxurious nor big, Eileen was very emotional. He turned to Manus to thank him and invited him in as a guest.
Manus is also quite emotional. He has watched Severus's family change step by step until now. He even played a role in these changes...
The new home does not have water and electricity yet, but Eileen said that there is no need for such things. Originally, the infrastructure conditions of Snape's home were not very good. The daily use of resources like water depends entirely on Eileen's magic.
You can't expect that in an old suburb like this, if facilities such as water pipes and sewers break down, someone will come to repair it quickly.
"Manus, thank you."
When Eileen went to prepare snacks and tea, Severus suddenly said to Manus.
Manus eyebrows raised slightly:
"With the relationship between us, we shouldn't say such things... In addition, I have already given you this year's birthday gift in advance. Even if you say so, I will not give you another one."
Severus was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head:
"I know, but this time is really different."
He looked around. The furnishings and decorations of this new home were simple, but neat and already made people feel warm. He felt a little dazed:
"A long time ago, I also thought about buying a house in the future, moving out with my mother, and staying far away from that guy. My mother would also hide secretly when she didn't need to cast spells..."
Manus blinked, it was indeed very early...
After Eileen changed a little bit under the influence of him and Severus, this situation should not happen anymore. At least Manus has seen Eileen cast spells in front of Mr. Snape.
After careful calculation, it seems that it was not that early, probably seven years ago.
It's just that they have just celebrated their fifteenth birthday, and seven years have already been half of their lives in this world, so it seems like a long time ago.
"Although this idea has become a goal with a visible direction, and the possibility of realization is getting bigger and bigger, I didn't expect this day to come so early - and this is entirely because of you."
Whether it is to turn this fantasy into a goal that can be achieved, or to make the possibility of realizing this goal continuously increasing, or to make this day come so early.
All because of Manus.
"Oh~Severus..."
Manus looked at Severus, whose eyes were red, and stretched out his arms to hug him and pat his back:
"I just provide you with a choice. You are the one who makes the choice, and you are the one who works hard on this road--"
"Even without me, you can still enroll in Hogwarts and become a person who can support this family. But without your own efforts, none of this will really come true. This is the harvest you deserve."
Theoretically, hard work may not necessarily bring good results, but when good results come, don't belittle the credit for this hard work.
Severus just shook his head silently, feeling that what Manus said was too ideal...
However, now that we look closely at who is responsible for it, it is really hard to tell.
They have occupied each other's lives for more than ten years, like two materials that have been boiled into a pot of Potions. How can they eliminate each other's existence and carefully understand what their lives will be like without each other?
After about two minutes, Manus patted Severus on the back again:
"Although I don't mind hugging you for a while longer, it seems that Aunt Eileen is about to take care of things."
This house was originally a complete ruin. After Eileen used magic to dismantle the original site and built a house at night, he just moved the luggage over and cleaned it with magic.
Therefore, it is obviously impossible for Eileen to start from scratch and make snacks that require baking or other foods that take a long time. It is just taking apart the ready-made candies bought by Honeydukes and placing them on the plate.
With the simple steps of making tea and hot milk, you are almost ready now.
Severus then quickly woke up from the surging emotions, quickly let go of his hands, sat upright and rubbed his face:
"How do I look now? Do I look miserable?"
"Well... to be honest, it's a little bit. Speaking of which, it seems like it's been a long time since I've seen Severus cry."
A long time ago, Manus saw Severus crying because of things at home, but later on, as Severus's heart became stronger and stronger, he never saw him cry because of anything again.
Although it is a good thing, I have to say that it does have a subtle regret.
"You--"
"Take your hands away."
Manus removed Severus's hand, stretched out his finger and scratched it a few centimeters away from Severus's face, and used the Human Transfiguration spell to erase all Severus's tear stains, slightly swollen eyelids, sweater indentations on his cheeks and other details, restoring it to its previous appearance.
"Okay~"
Regarding the Transfiguration adjustment for facial details, especially when used on others, the Transfiguration Spell of this world has particular merits... but a considerable part of this is due to the characteristics of the magic of this world itself.
Manus thought of his work on the combination of Transfiguration School magic and Transfiguration Spell, and it has been a long time since he continued to push forward...
At that time, I thought that as Alchemy progressed, this work would become easier and simpler, and to be honest, Manus did not have enough time on such a big topic.
Small projects such as expanding and exploring the magic system that has been explored and analyzed can be regarded as mental relaxation activities for Manus out of interest, while large projects will actually consume a lot of energy.
However, now that Wizard Sage Party is here, he is increasingly able to outsource the details of the project, and Manus's own time has also increased due to factors such as the departure of Severus and Lily.
Perhaps this work can be put back on the agenda?
If Transfiguration Spell can be used well in this world, it will indeed bring a lot of convenience to life.
"Here comes the snack~Manus, your hot milk."
"Ah, thank you Auntie Eileen~"
