"Karl, shall we go to the library together today?" After the potion class, Sever invited Karl to the library as usual. Karl would usually agree, but at this moment he frowned, hesitated a little and then refused him.

"Forget it, Sever, I have something to do today." If it was just once, then Sever might really think that Karl was busy, but this was the seventh time this week, and it was obviously not right.

What happened...

Even if it was a big deal, it would not be hidden from me. My hands unconsciously clenched the textbook, and the corners of my lips slowly pursed into a line as my mind tightened.

Did he remember that today was his birthday? Lily obviously remembered it and gave him a gift.

He walked to the library alone and opened a book. Obviously, he would be more focused without the chirping sound, but now he felt uncomfortable no matter what.

He forced himself to focus on Karl's book. After about twenty minutes, Sever finally couldn't force himself to go on.

Today I must ask him what he has been doing these days!

He snapped the book shut, packed up the books and planned to look for it. He had to ask clearly today. The gloom on Sever's face was visible to the naked eye.

But where would Carl be at this time? When they just parted, he should have wanted to go upstairs. Maybe he could find it if he looked along the stairs.

Sever thought about it and went upstairs decisively to try his luck. After passing a few stairs, Sever saw Carl from a distance across an aisle. He was about to call Carl, but he saw Carl holding something and talking to the people next to him very happily.

It was Black and Potter, so Carl was with them these days, and then he declined him seven times, seven times! I don't know why a wave of anger rushed to Sever's head. He continued to want to rush forward to ask Carl immediately, but his fingers clenched and released, and he still didn't go forward. He just stood silently for a while and planned to leave.

"Severus?" As soon as Severus turned around, he heard a voice that seemed to be Carl calling him. Severus paused, and then...

——————

"It was so hard to make it." Carl was holding the cake and scratching his head. His newly braided hair was messed up by his movements.

"Let's talk about it. The cake must be kept secret. I also want to give Lily a surprise! So I'll send it privately!" James poked Carl next to him with his hand. Carl's chassis was very stable, so there was no sign of shaking at all.

"I understand, but Lily is really pitiful. Not only can she not eat the delicious cake made by her sister, but she can't eat the slightly normal cake made by me. She can only eat the dark cuisine made by you." Carl smiled and said to James jokingly.

"What is dark cuisine!" James was not convinced. How could Carl slander someone's innocence out of thin air? What he, James Potter, made, can it be called dark cuisine? It's so rude, too much!!! This should be called not perfect.

"Did the chocolate burn through the bottom of the pot? Did you add salt when whipping the cream? Or did the chiffon cake collapse many times?" Carl said innocently, and stated the facts that should be stated. James' mouth corners went up and down for a while, and finally he had to admit that what Carl said was true.

"Well, you still have half a month to prepare, but my cake is finally perfect. It's great, hum hum hum..." Carl's mouth corners curled up again when he thought of this, and he hummed a few light tones with pleasure.

At this moment, the sharp-eyed Carl suddenly saw Sever standing across the corridor. Sever's hands were tightly clenched. Looking into his eyes, Carl had a vision of the confrontation when Penny and Sever first met three years ago. At that time, Sever's eyes seemed to be almost the same as now.

His heart inevitably skipped a beat, and Carl stretched out his hand and shouted, "Sever!"

Sever's footsteps paused slightly, and just when Carl thought Sever was going to turn around and run again, he suddenly turned around and walked towards Carl.

Unexpectedly, Carl thought that Sever would turn around and run again, and then he would chase him, but Sever actually walked straight over.

Carl turned around and looked at Sirius and James behind him, signaling them to leave quickly. After all, the most basic way to stop two animals from quarreling is to cover their eyes. The same goes for people, who need to be separated.

Sirius and James looked at each other, shrugged helplessly, and then left wisely.

Seeing Sever walking towards him, Carl subconsciously shrank himself a little.

Wait, he obviously did nothing wrong, why did he act like a thief, so guilty, Carl suddenly felt something was wrong when he thought of this, he straightened up, then looked directly at Sever and shoutedHe asked, "Sever?"

Sever didn't say anything, and Carl just stared at him. In the end, Sever sighed first. His voice was a little awkward, but he still said what he wanted to say, "What are you doing these days?"

"It seems busy, with Potter and the others? You rejected my invitation seven times, and in one week." It seemed like he made a great effort, but Sever still finished what he wanted to say with difficulty.

He skipped the fact that he had declined Sever's invitation in the past few days. So to speak, Sever's behavior was also reasonable. It was completely putting the cart before the horse to make his friend sad for a birthday gift!

Did he do a terrible job as a friend! No, Sever wouldn't be different, this kind of thing should never happen.

Thinking of this, Carl immediately handed over the packed cake in his hand, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said apologetically, "Sorry, Sever, I didn't mean to ignore you, because I wanted to..."

Sever looked at Carl's face, and felt a little bit of hatred for his own incompetence. It seemed that no matter what Carl did, as long as he smiled, he couldn't really get angry. For example, now, the anger and anxiety in his heart have been mostly wiped out.

Sever took the things in Carl's hand and weighed them slightly in his hand, wondering what was inside.

"I made you a cake for your birthday this year, not deliberately refusing your invitation, please forgive me." When Carl saw Sever took the cake, he immediately took advantage of the victory, clasped his hands together, and showed a pious look, so as to soften Sever's heart. Although Sever had softened his heart, Carl didn't know it.

"Okay, but in the future, don't be upset because..." Severus started to speak, but Carl immediately followed up before he finished speaking, "Don't worry, I will never do such a thing in the future, and I will never make Severus feel uneasy. After all, I am so reliable, and this kind of thing will not happen for the third time!"

Carl's little mouth was like a machine gun. Severus Snape used a flat attack, and Carlos Coster, because the flat attack was a combo and followed by a flash.

"Isn't this the first time?" Carl said everything he could say, and Sever naturally didn't have to force himself to speak out, but wasn't this the first time?

"No." Carl shook his head, and the smile on his mouth never fell, "It was the second time, when you and Penny first met, remember?" Carl blinked his eyes, and Sever lowered his eyes and thought for a while.

"Your eyes..." Carl said something nonsensical, and Sever didn't know how to talk about eyes, and Carl continued.

"Your eyes are very similar to those back then, but they seem to be a little more fierce now." Carl smiled slightly and snapped his fingers. He was trying to liven up the atmosphere.

"How could it be..." Fiercer, this sentence was not said, because Carl next to him started talking again, "But it's great that Siver didn't run away immediately like before, but was willing to stop and listen to my explanation~" Carl was in a good mood for this. At least Siver was willing to actively communicate with him instead of running away blindly.

"I just want to stay and listen to your sophistry." Siver said this, but after a while he added, "But didn't you say..."

"What did I say?" Carl thought for a while, and his brain frantically searched for important lines that he might have said, but in the end he didn't find any.

"If you can't remember, forget it. Your memory is so bad." Sifu pulled Carl's sleeve and walked forward with him, "Let's go to the auditorium to eat cake. Since it's a cake you made yourself, I'm looking forward to it."

"That's right, I spent a lot of time on it." Carl couldn't help being proud, and Sifu could only answer him, "Yes, yes, you are great."

"Oh, right." Carl suddenly stopped, he turned his head and looked into Sifu's eyes, and after making sure that he was not uneasy, he continued slowly, "Sifu, happy birthday, it's great to meet you."

Me too, Sifu thought so in his heart, he wanted to condemn himself a little, he had thought about it just now, and he would definitely say whatever he wanted, but he couldn't help but retreat when the words came to his lips.

——————

Time went back to when Sifu turned around, he wanted to leave immediately when he heard Carl calling him, but for some reason, he heard what Carl said on Halloween.

"I guess you're going to leave me behind again... running away is so lame~" Carl was very proud at the time, his mouth almost raised to the sky, as if he had seen through him completely.

Yes, running away is the worst option, so go ask him, at least this time, don't run away yet.

Thinking of this, Sif steadied his steps.
