The weather is getting hotter day by day. Lily wore the skirt that Peacock gave her today. She liked it so much that she brought it to school.

"It's almost vacation time." Lily sighed.

"Well, the exams are coming up." Snape looked at the few people around the Black Lake. It seemed that there were quite a few students cramming at the last minute.

When the banquet ended, their first year at Hogwarts ended quickly, and with the hum of the train, Snape and Lily boarded the return train.

"Lily, I won't be going to that grassy slope again this holiday," Snape said to Lily.

He was not planning to go home. His cooperation with Malfoy had brought him a lot of money. He could rent a house by himself and no longer have to go back to the home that made him depressed.

"Can I ask why?" Lily was reluctant. Snape had never revealed any information about himself, and without that grassy slope she didn't even know how to find him.

Snape answered briefly, not wanting to reveal his family in front of his friends: "I'm going to settle in London."

"Well, have a nice move, and see you at the start of school." Lily knew she couldn't stop him, so she could only wish Snape the best: "If you run into any trouble, please don't hesitate to come find us."

"Yes, I will." Snape agreed.

Snape was not planning to go home, but he sent some money to Irene in batches, in the form of gold Galleons. He just said that he had some talent in potions and had earned some money, so he could live outside and she could use the money however she wanted.

Whether she used it to return to the wizarding world or to let her husband squander it on gambling and drinking was up to her.

Irene only replied with one letter, which contained only one sentence: "Don't worry about it. I don't need money. Just take care of yourself."

Snape ignored the reply and continued to send money every two months.

After Snape transformed, he rented a two-story detached house in London as an adult and started a bumpy life with Peacock.

After the transformation, there was a kind of perfume that became his must-have item - an age enhancer.

In order to prevent being recognized by acquaintances, Snape simply pretended that he had taken an aging potion. People who took aging potions would have a medicinal smell on their bodies, and some people who were knowledgeable about potions could smell it. If he wanted to disguise himself, he had to do it thoroughly, so he specially researched perfumes with the smell of aging potions.

He also did a great job with the details.

The house was cast with a Muggle Ignore Charm, and the only difficulty the two had now was that Snape's cooking skills seemed to be a bit difficult to feed himself.

Snape's cooking skills are very strange. The ingredients are normal, the process is not normal but understandable, the appearance of the finished product is normal, but the taste is a little strange.

Even though he had used the scale and measuring cups he was good at in the kitchen, the things he made were still...

Peacock took a bite, wrapped it elegantly in a tissue, and spit it out, rinsing his mouth. "It has a smell of industrial wasteland."

First blood

"Invite James and the others to dinner next time."

Double kill

"It's a violation of human rights law to put them in prison."

Triple kill

"It makes people feel the despair of the world's destruction."

Quadra Kill

"Never would these rotten ingredients have imagined that they would have a taste of technological progress."

Penta kill

"Please don't treat me to a taste next time. I don't want my life to be limited."

Legendary!

Snape took a bite, but he didn't believe it. He then spat it out silently: "Let's go out and eat."

"You go by yourself. I've thought of two outfits that would suit this meal." Peacock refused to go with her because she didn't like eating. To be honest, Snape's cooking wasn't very good, but the others were pretty bad too.

Ever since Snape was able to protect himself, Peacock has let Snape do what he wants. Most of the time, they do their own things and don't interfere with each other.

"Don't forget to bring your wand." Peacock reminded Snape. A few days ago, when they went to Gringotts to exchange gold Galleons for pounds, they went to Diagon Alley and bought a new wand in an adult manner. Peacock also bought some materials and prepared to start learning how to make wands.

They had said they would learn it before school started, but they were only starting now. Snape even heard Peacock say, "I'm really capable of taking action. When the time comes, I'll definitely give the wands I made to my sisters as gifts."

Snape: ...

But none of this matters now. Snape took his wand and wallet and went out with an umbrella. It was drizzling outside and the temperature had dropped a lot. The weather forecast said that this kind of weather would last for a few days.

If the food he cooked wasn't so unpalatable, he really wouldn't want to go out.

The rain suddenly got heavier on the road. Snape watched as people on the road began to run frantically or seek shelter from the rain in shops. At this time, he saw a person standing in the rain without a drop of water on his body.

He is a wizard.
