He subconsciously tensed his face, and sneered at each other: "...... Don't you believe I can keep a secret in front of 'that person'?!"

However, after hearing his questioning, she just stood up with one hand on the sofa and looked at him calmly, her black eyes clear and bright.

"I believe in you, Severus. She said. "I just don't believe the Dark Lord would trust you to do anything to you—if he thinks it's necessary, the Heartburn, the Imperius, or even worse...... He will not be stingy in inflicting it on you, just as he tortures others with all his might. ”

In the quiet and dim room, there was a faint smell of dust, and the smell of firewood burning in the fireplace, which had not been lit for a long time. Her voice was gentle and calm, but what she said was thrilling.

"The Dark Lord doesn't believe anyone. If he thinks you might be harboring Lily, or doesn't report Lily's whereabouts, he'll do it to you. Severus, I guess Lily doesn't want you to take any risk if she doesn't tell you her whereabouts. ”

Snape: "......"

He still felt a wave of anger—and a new wave of anger welling up in his heart—and yet he had nothing to say.

The last appearance of Keredi Bubbagi, who was hanging upside down in the air at Malfoy Manor, suddenly floated in his memory. At that moment, she recognized him, and cried and called his name, as if begging him to come to her rescue, or at least give her a good time, but he could only activate the Occlumency, and sat at the long table with a hollow and cold expression, numbly listening to Bellatrix's shrill laughter and the Dark Lord's shouting "Avada Suothe"—

He had to admit that after imagining the face of Kerry Bubbaji in his mind as Lily Evans, he felt a cold and merciless sense of happiness - glad that even with so many Dark Lord's desire to kill quickly, that fake Lily still escaped the pursuit of the Death Eaters and hid in a place that even the Dark Lord did not know, but now the female member of the Order of the Phoenix- The same man whom Dumbledore, the old madman trusted 100 percent, rejected his normal concern for the life and death of his companions - that kind of stupid attitude was simply infuriating!

Although I knew that what she said was probably the truth, this attitude was really unpleasant to accept her words. And she probably didn't remember that she herself was about to burn herself to death in that dark alley earlier tonight by her high body temperature—he kindly took her in, and she got better with his potion, and now she stood in his house and barked at him, looking right, high-sounding—oh, Merlin, that's wonderful.

Willow Springs: He heard Snape snort irritably. Suddenly, she felt that the pain and high fever that had permeated her whole body just now were not so obvious. Or rather, the constant high heat has made her body numb.

She was even in the mood to laugh and say, "Oh, don't be so grumpy, Severus." How do you ...... As if she cared—I'm sure Lily would be glad to find out, but the Dark Lord ......"

Snape's irritated snort grew louder, so much so that his voice lost its calm and seemed so distracted.

"I'm assuming you haven't been robbed of your mind by the heat, Miss Collenbon. Then you should understand that the person standing in front of you is not a good man, but a veteran Death Eater - this is not a good person to joke about......"

Willow Springs' eyebrows curled and replied briefly, "I knew what kind of person you were from the beginning, Severus. ”

Snape choked, and soon found an excuse to fight back. He slickly smiled, "Oh, of course, of course. An undercover hero who endures humiliation - if that old bee told you that. Unfortunately, I'm not as ...... as he portrays me."

Liu Quan sighed and interrupted him again. "We've known each other for years, Severus. I don't trust you entirely because of Albus's words. A person's character is the key to others deciding whether they are worthy of their trust. ”

Snape choked - what a rarity! His venom spray had always been synchronized with his rapidly spinning brain, and it should have been a sense of accomplishment for him to temporarily stop this all-round indiscriminate attack?—— he seemed to have a half-day to find his voice, hissing like something was in his throat, and said angrily, "...... Your brain has indeed been trampled on by a troll, I think. ”

Although Liu Quan still felt a little unwell, he couldn't help but laugh.

It's rare to be able to take advantage of words in front of him. Even when she had just boldly hinted in her words that "Lily will definitely be very happy because of your concern", he seemed to have forgotten his strong denial because he was in a hurry to blow up his hair?—— sure enough, for this boring and dull old bachelor, is the straightforward words like "confession" a big killer?

Her laughter made Snape even more depressed. He said angrily: "Your attitude...... It feels familiar to me. ”

Liu Quan's laughter suddenly stopped. She tensed for a moment.

Dumbledore's Permanent Confusion Charm couldn't possibly go wrong. So what's wrong with her words and deeds?...... That's impossible. He hadn't suspected anything for so many years...... What's more, didn't he hate her to the bone, the imposter who stole Lily's body?......

Liu Quan didn't dare to think about it anymore.

She spoke quickly, and replied with a seemingly relaxed attitude, "Oh, of course. We've known each other for a long time, haven't we? How many years have we known each other as fellow Orders of the Phoenix?—— seventeen, or eighteen?"

Snape sounded like he had regained his composure. He coughed for a long time, and then changed back to his previous cold, silky sound.

"Maybe seventeen years. You showed up out of the blue, you know. And not long after you appeared, the mystery man disappeared......"

He seemed to think of something for a moment, and suddenly choked.

Willow Quan pretended not to hear the slight fluctuation in his tone.

"Oh?...... Maybe you don't know, I wasn't in charge of picking you up before. Who knows what Dumbledore suddenly thought at that time...... Or maybe he finally thinks I'm good enough to be at the top......"

Her interruption brought him back to normalcy very quickly. He was silent for a second, then suddenly asked, "...... When did you join the Order of the Phoenix? and when did you know me...... What are you really doing?"

She didn't expect him to ask that, and she didn't think about how to answer for a while. There was a sudden and frightening silence in the air. But she quickly whispered, "...... Much earlier than you know. ”

Snape was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "...... That said, I don't seem to have any impression of what it was like when you were a student at Hogwarts. It stands to reason that a young wizard who is so good that the old bee has to personally recruit into the Order of the Phoenix should not be silent and unnoticeable in the school—"

Willow Spring's heart thumped, and he immediately replied, "That's because you've never paid much attention to Hufflepuffs." ”

Snape's features distorted for a moment, and Willow immediately realized that he was probably thinking of Beryl Fergton, the real Lily's soul-possessed and unobtrusive Hufflepuff at school.

She pretended not to notice Snape's expression and continued, "I did have mediocre grades in school, and I never thought of joining the Order of the Phoenix. But that all changed after my parents were killed by the Death Eaters...... They were innocent Muggles, but unfortunately on the day the Death Eaters went on a killing spree, at that moment, they passed by the place where they intended to kill Muggles...... Then I went to Professor Dumbledore and told me that no matter how much I was able, I had to do something...... He took me into the Order of the Phoenix, but until I was sent to pick you up, he kept saying that I was too ordinary to even defend myself when it came time to fight, so I was not qualified to rush to the front...... I practiced all kinds of spells with a lot of hard work ten times harder than I did at Hogwarts, and finally one day he called me and said that they needed an unfamiliar member to pick you up from someone who had never appeared in front of anyone, so that no one would doubt who you really were or what you were doing, whether it was the Death Eaters, the Order of the Phoenix, or the Aurors......"

She had already thought of this, and she even made up a memory for it, which could guarantee that whoever saw it would not reveal her true colors. Even Dumbledore was amazed by her ability to make up stories. So Snape had no doubts about it. When he was a student at Hogwarts, he had nothing but a limited number of people, friends and enemies, as potions, and a mediocre Hufflepuff was not in his eyes.

Snape frowned suspiciously, but her story should sound convincing, so he couldn't think of anything to fault for a moment. So he replied in a complaining tone, as if annoyed: "...... So, another man who has been deceived by Dumbledore's so-called 'lofty ideals and goals' to come here, who has no foresight of the level of darkness that might develop to this point, and who is so eager to devote himself to your so-called noble cause, may one day sacrifice his life in vain—"

Liu Quan interrupted him suddenly. The smile on her face vanished, and her expression was extremely serious.

"Our sacrifices are conceivable. But, Severus, you'd better live. ”

Snape seemed taken aback. His eyes, which were always tired and tired, widened. His gaze swirled suspiciously and vigilantly over her face, but seemed to find nothing, and at last he tightened his jaw in a suppressed manner.

"It's a surprise," his cello-smooth voice reappeared. But Liu Quan knew that every time he started to speak like this, it must mean that the anger that had accumulated in his heart had reached a certain stage.

"I thought you'd say, 'As long as you can defeat that person, any sacrifice is tolerable'—"

Liu Quan blurted out: "How is it possible?!"

Snape blinked as if caught a little off guard by the momentum of her sudden outburst.

Liu Quan decided not to think about anything else, but went on with a bang.

"Listen, Severus, you have to live...... No matter what happens in the future, there is hope if you can wait until that man personally leads the Death Eaters to attack Hogwarts......"

He looked astonished, as if he wanted to reject her at once, but out of nowhere, she leaned forward and put her hands on the back of the sofa, arched her back and lowered her upper body, staring at him so deadly that she would have crossed the sofa and grabbed him if he had not obediently followed her advice.

"You must live, Severus. Hogwarts still needs you, there are already too many people who have died, innocent people...... There can be no more senseless deaths, Severus, you can stop this, provided you live......" With a little sadness and pleading, she looked up at his face that was half-hidden in the darkness, and said with difficulty, word by word, "You can't die here, and you can't die at Hogwarts, because you will need to rebuild after the war, have you forgotten Albus's request?"

Maybe it was because of something, his face instantly darkened, and his body became stiff. He replied dryly, "No, not forgotten." ......'Endure all the hardships, in the face of unjust prejudice and discourse, even if you have to carry a ruined reputation, you will not be able to lose your life as long as the honour, unity and ruins of Hogwarts are not restored...... Even if no one in this world really understands, even if everyone has malice towards you, you can't back down, because this is what you deserve, what you have to carry. —if that's what you're referring to. ”
