Snape ignored him and continued to stride forward. Fortunately, his aura had cleared all the idlers in this area, otherwise Karkaroff would have caused Snape so recklessly.

Liu Quan slowed down a little, and carefully and silently added a Ignore Charm and a Silence Charm to himself, and cautiously followed them seven or eight meters behind them, following them all the way through the corridor and towards the courtyard.

Willow Springs, seeing that Igor Karkaroff was relentlessly chasing after Snape, as if eager to speak to Snape. But Snape didn't seem to bother with the slightest intention of pestering him, and made a few quick strides through the snow to a carriage parked in the courtyard, and with a wave of his wand, the window on the carriage door shattered. A short girl's whisper came from inside, and Snape quickly pulled the door open. Two students, a man and a woman, were disneath, and hurriedly slipped out of the car with their heads down. Snape sternly said to the two students, "Hufflepuff dunks are very ......"

Willow Springs, who probably knew what the bereaved Karkaroff was trying to say, but she was still amused by Snape's performance, and a small whirlpool of laughter silently rose from the corners of her lips.

Snape seemed to want to continue his night patrol faithfully, and Willow guessed he was going to blow up the roses next time. But Karkarov followed him right behind and blocked his way.

Snape had to slam on the brakes, and a corner of his coat rolled over by inertia. Karkaroff exclaimed urgently, "That mark, Severus! you know—"

Snape cut him off coldly, "I don't know what you're talking about. Then he swept past him, strode to another carriage opposite, and opened the door to check if there were any young lovers hiding from their tryst.

Karkaroff refused to let him go, gritting his teeth behind him and asking: "Oh, really?......"

The smile on Liu Quan's face gradually froze.

In the episode of the Goblet of Fire, she only watched movie clips, or her college roommate in the dormitory hard-pulled the video she watched on the Internet, what "inventory of Harry Potter movie memorabilia" and other reviews, if it were not for the fact that this video did not have Chinese subtitles, the roommate would not have hard-pulled her to interpret at the same time.

So she only remembered that at the end of this episode, Voldemort would be resurrected, and from then on, the main tone of the next few movies became gloomy and gloomy, full of the solemn colors of life and death. But what happened before Voldemort came back to life, and how did Voldemort come back to life?

She only remembered that Karkaroff was a Death Eater. Then he'd come to talk to Snape about the Dark mark on their arm. At this time, the Triwizard Tournament was only a third of the way through, and Voldemort should not have been resurrected. So how did they sense Voldemort's power reviving from the Dark Mark mark?

Willow Springs: Come back to her senses, only to find Karkaroff talking as he tries to grab Snape's left arm. Liu Quan's heart tightened to the highest point in an instant.

Of course she knew what Snape had on his left arm. The courtyard was open on all sides, and although there was no one to be seen in the courtyard now, who knew if there would be someone hiding in the flowers or passing by a corridor not far away?

Before she was able to think calmly, she found that her body had reacted one step ahead. She lifted the Ignore Charm from her body and rushed out quickly, while Karkaroff was still angry and said, "...... Don't try to fool me, Severus, you're scared, aren't you?!......"

Willow Spring rushed between the two of them just in time, because she was running too fast, the snow was slippery, and she could barely stop the car, and she had to help Snape to stand still.

Both of them looked startled by her sudden appearance.

Liu Quan Shi Ran used his hand to pull a strand of broken hair floating in front of his face behind his ear, and then turned to face Karkarov, making a look as if he had just discovered Karkaroff's huge light bulb, and said, "...... Uh, Oh, Principal Karkaroff. You must forgive me for causing a lady to suddenly find her dance partner—it is too embarrassing for a lady. ”

Karkaroff was dumbfounded, speechless by her high-sounding cross-cutting bar, and his face was blue and white.

Ignoring the changing color on his face, Willow Spring looked back to Snape and said, "Severus, if you haven't already, Headmaster Dumbledore is giving you a small gift—it's a rare opportunity, you know. ”

Snape snorted from his throat, turned his head to stare at her expressionlessly, and looked away again.

Willow Spring felt that Karkaroff should have nothing more to say if she was so confused, so she didn't say much, just smiled and said to Snape, "Headmaster Dumbledore will tell you the headmaster's office password for tonight." Then I'll go first. As a dance partner, I think I can forgive you for the embarrassment of being tripped up by Principal Karkaroff and leaving a lady alone at the ball. ”

Karkaroff's face turned even worse. Liu Quan nodded happily at him again, and turned to walk away. Behind her, she heard Snape's calm voice.

"I have nothing to fear, Igor. ”

Liu Quan turned his back to the two of them, as if he hadn't heard, and left the courtyard with brisk steps. She first returned to the second floor, and then with a wave of her wand, a paper crane flew out of her hand and flew crookedly towards the courtyard outside the castle.

She was in front of a window on the second floor, watching the paper crane swoop straight down from the sky, running directly to the back of the black-robed figure in the courtyard. The moment the crane flew in front of the man, she left the window and walked to the eighth floor.

On the way, she meets Harry Potter, who is preoccupied. He looked terrible, confused, and with a curious curiosity and suspicion that he had discovered some great secret. As soon as Liu Quan saw him, he almost guessed that he was probably there in the courtyard just now, and couldn't help but sigh heavily in his heart.

"Harry, it's almost curfew, what are you still doing here?" she decided to go and say hello to him, and if possible, it would be best to dispel the little idea of the adventurous Gryffindors he was messing around.

Harry had his head down, as if he was thinking about something while looking at the road under his feet, when he was suddenly stopped and looked a little panicked. But when he looked up and saw that it was Professor Evans, who had always been kind and gentle to him, there was a clear relief on Shota's face.

"Professor Evans. He greeted her happily, his eyes wide open with a look like "escaped" on his face, as if he was worried that the red-haired, green-eyed witch in front of him would turn into some dark-haired and black-eyed wizard with a stern expression in the blink of an eye.

"I ...... I was just...... Uh, I'm going back to Gryffindorta, you see......" He stammered in reply, apparently interrupted by a sudden interruption, and hadn't yet thought of what lie to make up to get by.

Liu Quan smiled patiently and waited for him to continue.

Harry was clearly not a kid who was very good at lying in front of the people he loved. He stammered and stopped. A pair of green eyes, very similar to hers, blinked, and looked at her with a little pleading, as if begging her to let him go.

Liu Quan looked at those green eyes and remembered a lot of things for no reason. She sighed, waved her hand and cast a mute spell around them, then smiled kindly at Harry.

"You know if you have something on your mind, maybe you can trust me. She chose her words as carefully as she could," and ...... Headmaster Dumbledore knew everything that was going on in this school. Even if you don't think I'm very reliable, you can trust the principal, right, kid?"

Harry shook his hands desperately in a panic. "Oh, no, no, no...... I trust you, Professor Evans......"

...... But because you've just danced with that suspicious black-robed monster, I'm still going to have to hide some of my discoveries from you—because those bad things are about that wicked Potions professor, aren't they?

Willow Quan felt like he could make up the unfinished subtext of Harry. She sighed, knowing that it would be impossible to have a more in-depth conversation with this immortal boy today.

Her hand reached into the pocket of her robe, where she touched the horn of the horned camel. After a moment of silence, she decided to settle the matter about the rare horn first.

Finally, she nodded slightly at Harry and said, "...... I'm not going to force you to say anything you don't want to tell anyone...... It's normal for a young wizard of your age to want a little bit of your own secret. I just want to remind you that if you really have something you can't solve on your own, then everyone is willing to help you. Good night, Harry. ”

She turned to leave. Behind her, Harry suddenly raised his voice slightly, and said a little slurred, "...... Professor Evans!"

She paused and looked back at him. Harry, as if frightened by his sudden call to a professor, paused, his face full of embarrassment, and after several struggles, he said, "...... I—I just want to say, you...... You're a good professor, please don't ...... Uh, I mean, some people might have a little bit of a problem......"

He stumbled, and Liu Quan was shocked that he had suddenly received a brand new [Good Professor Card]. Then she realized that Harry was trying to remind her that Snape was not trustworthy, and she smiled slightly.

"I've received everything you want to say. She said, nodding to Harry again. "I wish you to solve the mystery of the golden egg soon. ”

The golden egg, which when opened, emitted a noisy scream comparable to that of twenty saws was a nerve-wracking issue for Harry. To make matters worse, Liu Quan couldn't quite remember how the mystery of the egg should be solved. So she could only watch apologetically as the little wizard with his tousled hair left dejectedly.

It's past twelve o'clock. The dance party in the auditorium downstairs must have been dispersed. Willow Springs, who had missed a staircase leading up to the eighth floor due to a brief conversation with Harry, had now turned away, and she had to choose another staircase that only went up to the seventh floor, which no one would normally choose, and the corridor on the seventh floor was rather deserted compared to the bustle of the lion cubs returning to their dorms on the eighth floor.

Walking to the staircase leading to the eighth floor, Liu Quan looked up at the corridor above him.

The chaotic footsteps of the little lions rattled through the corridor on the eighth floor, which was only one floor away, and the seventh floor was deserted as if it had been curfew.

Liu Quan took a deep breath, and before he could step up the stairs, he heard the voice of a low, silky, adult man behind him.
