Chapter 142 The Disposal of the Philosopher's Stone
Meanwhile, Severus and I strolled leisurely down the corridor after leaving the principal's office.
“Come on, let’s go sit at my place,” Severus said calmly.
"Okay." This is Severus's invitation, how could I refuse?
The young wizards walking nearby stared at us with curious eyes as we walked together.
We walked past them like quails, heads bowed, and then started chattering away after we passed.
When Harry and Hermione came out, they saw many young wizards nearby talking about me and Severus.
"Did you see that? Senior Ayers is really brave, he can walk with Professor Snape." A few young wizards gathered together and chattered.
“Yes, yes, Senior Ayers is my idol,” another young wizard added.
"What's going on with them?" Harry asked Hermione, completely confused.
"I don't know, it's none of our business. Let's go see Ron." Hermione just felt that I was a little different from Severus, but she wouldn't meddle. She pulled Harry along to the school hospital to see Ron.
After I followed Severus into the cellar, I locked the door from the inside.
"Severus, have you missed me?" While Severus was on the sofa, I lay down on him and rested my head on his lap.
His legs were strong and powerful, giving me a sense of security.
I gently closed my eyes, feeling his body temperature seep through my clothes onto my cheek, and my heart was filled with peace and happiness.
“You’ve grown a lot taller now, don’t you think the chair is too small for you to lie on?” Severus noticed that my legs were sticking out of the chair, so he picked up his wand and turned the sofa into the size of a bed.
"How about we don't change it back? Let's just leave a bed here like this." I grabbed one of his hands and started playing with it.
“Wouldn’t every little troll who comes here and is confined here see this bed? Ayers, do you think that’s possible?” Severus grabbed my hand and we held hands with my five fingers.
"Hahaha, just thinking about that little wizard's expression makes me laugh." I laughed heartily, holding my forehead with my other hand.
"Severus, you haven't answered me yet~ Did you miss me?" After laughing, I closed my eyes and asked Severus above me with a smile.
"Yeah, I missed you." Severus did miss me a bit; it had been a while since the two of us had met like this.
Severus's hand gently stroked my hair, his fingers lightly tracing my scalp, bringing a tingling sensation.
His movements were gentle and delicate, as if he were protecting a precious treasure.
I enjoyed his caresses, a warm feeling welled up inside me, and the corners of my mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
I slowly opened my eyes and looked up at him.
His eyes were filled with deep affection and love, which made me involuntarily captivated.
I stood up slightly, closing the distance between myself and him.
I gently kissed his lips, feeling their softness and moisture.
His lips parted slightly in response to my kiss, and our tongues intertwined, creating a beautiful melody.
I was immersed in the kiss, forgetting all my worries and fatigue, feeling only his love and care.
Our kisses grew more passionate, and our breathing became rapid.
His hands held me tightly, pulling me towards his body, making me feel his desire and passion.
I hugged him tightly in return, our bodies pressed together as if we were becoming one.
In this beautiful moment, time seemed to stand still, and the whole world became quiet and peaceful.
We were both immersed in our love for each other, enjoying this rare peace and happiness.
At that moment, I felt the power of love; it made me strong and brave, and made me willing to give everything for my loved one.
“I missed you too, Severus.” We were both a little out of breath when we parted our lips.
Then I lay down on Severus's lap, and he indulged me, letting me lie wherever I wanted.
"Ayers, why are you suddenly interested in the Philosopher's Stone?"
Severus, having recovered, suddenly asked.
"I plan to use it to customize a few rings." Actually, I planned to use that magic stone to make custom ring gemstones.
Everyone has a ring, and it feels like as long as someone owns this ring, trouble is bound to break out.
Thinking about that scenario, I feel it's better to make something else; a ring seems like it might give away something.
Although the system, backed by a wealthy patron, guarantees that things won't turn into a disaster, I still don't want to hurt the person I'm trying to woo.
"I see." Severus didn't seem to notice anything amiss, only thinking that I was just temporarily interested in the Philosopher's Stone.
"Severus, are you also interested in that Philosopher's Stone?" I suddenly became very curious as to why Severus was asking so many questions about what to do with the Philosopher's Stone.
"No, I'm just curious." Very well, Severus is a curious fellow too.
"How about I let you study it first? I can use it after you've finished studying it." I took out the red magic stone, opened Severus's hand, put it in his palm, and let him study it.
“That’s not what I meant, Ayers. This is an alchemical artifact, and it’s actually of little use to a potion maker like me.” Severus then put the Philosopher’s Stone back into my hand, telling me to keep it safe.
"Not necessarily. It seems there are a few potions that can be used with this Philosopher's Stone, but it's not a panacea. Are you really not going to try it out?" I picked up the Philosopher's Stone and waved it in front of Severus.
"No need, just keep it safe." Severus didn't care much for the magic stone. Even without the magic stone, potions could still be made; there was no need to possess it.
"Okay, then I'll keep it safe." I put the magic stone into my portable backpack. It's the safest place for it. I'll take it out again when I need it.
Meanwhile, Harry and Hermione had arrived at the school hospital and found Ron, who had woken up, explaining to the young wizards who had come to visit how amazing their adventures had been.
Thankfully, Ron had already fainted by the end, otherwise I don't know how he would have explained the situation between me and Severus.
"Ron, are you feeling better?" Hermione waited for Ron to finish speaking before pulling Harry into the circle and asking Ron how he was feeling.
"I'm in great shape right now, I feel like I could take down a giant monster." Ron boasted.
"Stop exaggerating. It's good that you're alright now," Harry said immediately when he saw Ron talking so dramatically.
