935 930 [Return Chapter 5] ·21
That morning, as he entered the Great Hall of Hogwarts for breakfast, Willow met Snape at the door.
It wasn't easy, especially when she had been hating to keep a low profile in Hogwarts Castle lately, and Snape had been haunted by what he's up to.
As the Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters provocative step by step, and because of the rebound of the "plot inertia" that could not alarm this already dangerous world again, Willow Spring became more and more low-key, and finally it was almost dormant now. At such moments, she doesn't want to be noticed, let alone give someone a handle.
However, they only exchanged glances and did not talk. The door of the auditorium was full of people, and the two professors standing at the door were undoubtedly too conspicuous to speak.
And Willow Spring couldn't think of anything else to say to Snape at such a moment. Do you want to talk about Dumbledore's blackened right hand, or about the unbreakable spell he made with Narcissa Malfoy?......
She noticed that Draco Malfoy's face was getting paler and nervous. However, when one day Willow Springs, she suddenly noticed a nervous and abnormal flush on his pale face, and that night, before curfew, when she noticed that Dumbledore and Harry did not seem to be in the castle, she finally understood that the day of fate was coming.
In fact, Draco Malfoy had maintained this nervous expression for most of the semester, and what really alerted Willow Spring was a small incident that happened that evening.
As the story progressed and the important date she didn't remember the exact time loomed, Willow Springs had been dormant for a while. Under the double pressure of the Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters, fewer and fewer students took Muggle studies courses, and this year it was almost three or two big cats and small cats. Willow Springs' suspicion that Hogwarts continued to offer this class, in addition to showing that Dumbledore and the righteous side valued and protected Muggles, or did not succumb to the attitude of the evil forces, presumably to give her a reason to be captured and killed by the Death Eaters in the finale.
So she hid around the castle and rarely spent time in the office when she wasn't in class. Of course, that doesn't mean she won't go back to her office--bedroom to work or rest.
So when she returned to the Muggle Studies Professor's office after dinner, she always felt that something was wrong.
She searched around for the reason that made her feel wrong, and finally she understood.
The book of poems written by the great Muggle poet she had lent Dumbledore to read was in the middle of her desk. As she wondered who had quietly returned it, Dobby, Harry's loyalist house-elf, appeared and told Willow Springs that the book had been brought to her office by the great Headmaster Dumbledore in the evening, and that it should be placed squarely in the middle of her desk.
Willow Quan was stunned for a moment, as if she realized something, she hurriedly thanked and sent Dobby away, and then immediately turned around and rushed out of the office, all the way to the principal's office on the eighth floor. After giving the password, she found that the headmaster's room was empty. She ran to the Gryffindor common room again, and met Hermione at the door, who had just returned from the library.
She hurriedly asked Hermione where Harry was. Hermione told her that Harry had been called away by Headmaster Dumbledore, saying that they would be doing something "important" together that night.
Liu Quan seemed to understand in an instant that this night would be an extraordinary and full of twists and turns, and that when everyone woke up tomorrow morning, everything had changed.
She thanked Hermione, hurried to the corner where no one was around, took out the refreshing potion from her pocket and drank it down, and then rushed down from the eighth floor to the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor's office on the fourth floor, not forgetting to give herself a phantasmagion charm first.
The door of the office was locked, and Liu Quan looked around, at this time, it was just curfew, and the corridor was already empty, and it was very deserted. Only the occasional sound of the characters talking in the frames on the walls could be heard.
Liu Quan lifted the illusion spell, cast a mute spell around him, and then slammed the door hard.
The door was rudely pulled open from the inside without two thumps. Snape grimaced, holding his wand in his right hand, as if he wanted to immediately distract the unknown disturber Avada outside the door.
Liu Quan didn't have time to greet him, and the conversation in the corridor was too conspicuous. She had a Gryffindor-esque recklessness, pushing him in the chest, pushing Snape back a bit, stumbling a few steps to keep her balance, and retreating into the office. Willow Spring followed him inside, slammed the door behind Snape before he could roar, and said quickly, "Professor Dumbledore and Harry are not in the castle. ”
Snape looked angry and wanted to snarl at her, but when he heard her, he calmed down, and the corners of his lips curled into a malicious smile.
"That's why you're not busy going on night patrols after curfew and attacking your colleagues here?" he asked sarcastically, "when will Gryffindor be able to travel with their brains?"
Ignoring his daily venom spray attacks, Liu Quan said anxiously, "Don't you know what they're going to do?" I don't believe you'll know anything about it—Severus, you should know that it's the last moment—"
"yes, so what?" Snape interrupted her coldly, raising an eyebrow to show his displeasure and contempt for her. "Can you help them? or can you help me?—— can't? Then you should hide and do what you have done these days—and watch the whole play in peace, instead of scurrying around the castle like headless flies like you are now......
His venom attack stopped abruptly. His left arm trembled slightly, and then his brow furrowed even tighter, and his face became much darker. He took a deep breath and suddenly reached out to her as if he couldn't stand it, grabbed her right arm, and then turned sideways and dragged her towards the inner part of the office.
Liu Quan was caught off guard, and staggered a few steps with his movements before he could stand firm. Then she noticed that the two of them had reversed their positions - he was standing closer to the door, her wand in his hand.
Liu Quan was stunned for only a second before he realized what he wanted to do. The Death Eaters must have entered Hogwarts through Draco Malfoy's repaired Vanishing Locker by now, so that the Dark Mark on his left arm would start to ache, as they were summoning him to come along, go up to the top of the Astronomy Tower, and then do everything Dumbledore had arranged beforehand, and cast a Curse on the venerable Old Headmaster of Hogwarts!
The night...... From then on—
Dumbledore's wise, calm, old face came to her mind for a moment. What then emerged was a fragment of a movie she had seen in her life many years ago.
At the top of the Astronomical Tower in the twilight, Snape's silky voice rang out, with an irrepressible sense of anger and boredom.
"Have you ever thought of asking too much of me, and making everything I do for granted? With your incomparable wisdom, you never thought that I would never want to do these things again?!"
…… However, from then on, the gears of fate began to gradually close, rolling and turning, ignoring the will of mortals, pushing the darkness to the deepest depths, and the light to the farthest places—
Suddenly, a poem came to her memory.
[Now is the time to say goodbye, just like the wind has stopped and gone again.] Like a shadow, promising never to come back, for the love that has always been hidden, for the little grass that kisses my tired ankles, and the little steps that follow me, it's time to say goodbye. Now when night falls, will the candle be lit again?]
This made her nerves suddenly snap, like crazy, and she almost didn't think about it before she pounced on the black-robed wizard standing at the doorway!
Snape probably didn't expect to act like this after she lost her wand, and for a moment she couldn't react, and she stood there without moving. Almost a second, Willow Spring had pounced on him, clinging to his upper body, his right hand had nimbly climbed up to his left arm, which was aching from the Dark Mark in a matter of seconds, and withdrew his wand from his left hand, clenching it in his hand quickly.
But after regaining her wand, she didn't let go of him right away.
Snape didn't come to his senses until then. He stood up straight, as if trying to avoid more physical contact with her, and his pale complexion flushed with extreme anger and irritability, and he lowered his voice and shouted, "Let go, impostor!"
I don't know if it was out of sympathy or compassion, or because of the plans and strategies that were going to take place next—Willow Spring's arms wrapped around his arms like vines, clasped his hands behind him, and clasped his hands behind him, clasping his upper body so that he couldn't move, and she replied that his voice seemed to come from the deepest part of his body.
“…… Are you afraid, Severus?"
Snape was stunned.
The question was asked so abruptly and inexplicably, but in this urgent but ambiguous situation, it inexplicably calmed him down. He stopped the faint resistance of his arms outward, and did not try to break free from her restraint again. He just stood there straight, his tone flat and cold.
"I have nothing to fear. ”
Willow Spring's face, which was almost buried in his chest, had an inappropriate smile on his face because of this answer.
“…… Like that year when you answered Igor Karkarov?"
Snape was stunned for a moment, a bruise bursting from the corner of his forehead, apparently suppressing great anger.
"You were already peeping around at that time, impostor!Who made you do this?......"
Willow Quan smiled, unashamedly pressing his cheek close to his chest. She heard his heart beat vigorously beneath the layers of black robes.
"It's me. Severus, everything I do is because of my own decisions. ”
Snape was about to have a seizure, and as if sensing something, his face was cloudy, and finally he softened his tone slightly, as if he was going to patiently coax some important news out of her mouth.
"You...... What are you going to do?"
Liu Quan was silent for a moment before answering him, but when he spoke again, he didn't answer the question.
"I have nothing to fear. So I'm not afraid. ”
Snape's limited patience was almost immediately drained by this answer. Angrily, with great force, he broke free of her restraints, grabbed her shoulders, pushed her away, glared at her coldly and ordered, "Stay here, don't come out no matter what happens." Don't let me see you doing stupid things again!"
Then he turned and opened the door, and strode away like a gust of wind.

May 19:
Are you ready?The end of the Half-Blood Prince and the Deathly Hallows quest are about to begin.
Glass slag warning!
In addition, although I write in the third person, I basically use the girl's perspective most of the time, which means that you may watch the professor say something excessive, but he doesn't really think that way in his heart.
Next update: 0:00 tomorrow.
