Snape:!?
Willow Springs: ......
Dumbledore's gaze narrowly slid over Snape and Willow Spring, and finally landed on Snape's left foot, which was becoming more and more limp as he ran as he approached Hogwarts Castle.
"You seem to be hurt, Mr. Snape. The old headmaster smiled softly and said, "Maybe we'll talk about tonight, right?" now you need to go to the school hospital—Lily, maybe you can go with him?"
Before Willow could speak, Snape frowned sharply, and his voice sank, as if he were holding out some kind of exasperation.
"I don't need to go to the hospital, Professor Dumbledore...... As you can see, what makes me feel better is how you and the other professors feel about this terrible thing that has happened......"
"Oh, of course, of course. Dumbledore said perfunctorily, squeezing his eyes at Willow Spring. "We'll make sure this is well resolved...... Now let's go where we should go. I'm going to the Screaming Shack, and Mr. Snape's foot injury must be treated promptly and well—I'm sure Miss Evans will come back to the Headmaster's office to report to me the whole of tonight, am I?"
Liu Quan: ?!
Snape said irritably, "...... I don't need her to follow!And, Professor Dumbledore, she didn't see all the things I saw at the beginning tonight! Just listening to her account will leave out some key parts of things, such as—"
"Oh no," Dumbledore smiled meaningfully at Snape, "I think Miss Evans knew the whole truth and chose to go to the Screaming Shack tonight." ”
Snape opened his mouth as if he wanted to argue something, but one of the points in Dumbledore's words seemed to hit him in a nerve, and his face was still angry, but there was a hint of doubt and contemplation. Finally, he glanced at Dumbledore, and then, without saying a word, suddenly walked around the old headmaster, straightened his back, and walked towards Hogwarts Castle.
Willow Springs, glancing at Dumbledore, received the signal "Go, go, it's okay tonight, we'll come back tomorrow for a long talk" from the latter's smiling eyes, and hurriedly chased after Snape.
Although the school hospital is located on the second floor, the road seems incomparably long in the dark and huge castle after midnight.
I don't know how Snape's foot was injured or what the injury was, but on two occasions during this journey, perhaps in the wrong way or at the wrong angle when he stepped on the ground, he suddenly limped very badly, startling Liu Quan, who had been following him all along, but who had never reached out to help him because he knew some of his sky-high pride, and subconsciously reached out to him and held his arm in time, so that he could avoid falling to the ground - or her- as soon as his leg was weak of the crisis.
But the feedback she got on both occasions was not very good. The first time Snape almost immediately broke free of her grip, and turned his head and shouted at her, "I don't need your pretended kindness, impostor! You think you can—"
"Shhh The knight in the magical portrait hanging on the wall of the corridor, who had been woken up by him, complained at him with dissatisfaction, "If you have too much energy, rush out and fight those magical monsters!
I don't know if this sentence happened to poke Snape in the sore spot, he looked even more angry, his lips pursed tightly, and the silhouette of his big nose looked sharp and mean.
But he didn't say anything more—it wasn't until he was about to go up the last two steps that the staircase turned around. Caught off guard, he suddenly stumbled under his feet and stumbled forward.
Willow Springs rushed up to the second floor in three steps and two steps in time, and then grabbed one of Snape's arms with one of his hands, and before the staircase turned completely, he once again used his strength and stamina, and dragged the rather thin young Snape up the second floor, and his foot thus grazed all the way up the last two steps, and seemed to touch his foot for a moment, so that for a minute or two he was so painful that he didn't seem to speak.
Of course, Liu Quan's strength value was not high enough to go against the sky, and in general it was more in line with her current status as a sixteen-year-old girl, so in the few minutes that Snape shrank her feet in pain and couldn't stand, she couldn't support the young man's thin body, and the two of them sat down on the second floor with a bang.
Now that the staircase had creaked completely, they sat together near the edge of the overhanging slab, and in front of them was a large hole with a great drop. Liu Quan looked up at the first floor, then shrank back, shook his head, and said to himself, "...... It's too dangerous. ”
Snape, who was sitting next to her, suddenly waved his wand—eighty percent of the time casting a mute charm—and turned to her with a look of rage, his tone sounding terrible.
"So, you Gryffindors still know what danger is, eh?" His voice was muffled with rage, and his voice, which was almost on the verge of a voice change, sounded very close to the silky, beautiful, cello-like voice of a future Potions professor.
"You know Potter and Blake...... Oh, maybe Blake was so kind to reveal the secret of how to get into that broken house out of ...... out of a sudden and kind way What are you going to do?Do you deter me, the 'evil Slytherin', from seeking the truth?...... You want me to die or become a monster like Remus Lupin?!"
"Seaver!!" Willow Springs, he had to shout louder at his dangerous reasoning. However, after shouting this, she felt a little speechless for a while.
Although she could understand Dumbledore's decision to give Lupin a chance to study at Hogwarts on an equal footing with other young wizards, Siris maliciously revealed the Screaming Shack to Snape, who was eager to seize the handle of the Marauder Four, and used Snape's desire to find the truth in order to defeat them, and tricked Snape into going to the Screaming Shack on a full moon night.
In her opinion, this is no different from tricking a classmate who can't swim into going into the river, or giving bread coated with peanut butter to someone who is allergic to peanuts?...... At the very least, the consequences are predictably severe, or even fatal!
Of course, James later ran to pull Snape in time - a very dangerous move before he himself had fully practiced the Animagus - but could it be regarded as a remedy for Siris's over-the-top joke?
“...... I'm sorry. After thinking about it, Liu Quan could only say such a sentence in the end.
Hogwarts Castle was eerily quiet late at night, and the lights in the long corridors that only lit up every long distance were now almost all extinguished. The dark corridor used to have only the glimmer of light from the fluorescent spell on the tip of the Willow Springs wand, but now that they were both sitting on the ground, the glowing spell was gone.
In the dark silence, her voice suddenly sounded, and her tone contained sincere apologies and helpless sorrow, which made young Snape slightly stunned.
As she stumbled all the way back with James and the others, the system bacteria had already made a good time to popularize the detailed events for her. After all, this event was not described in detail in the original book, and now that Snape has personally entered the screaming shack - instead of just seeing Lupin transformed into a werewolf in the distance in the tunnel, as the original book says, the horror and danger have multiplied several times, so according to the system, "it is necessary to pay extra attention to the little details of these fandoms that are played out randomly", because "it seems that a little knowledge of the original is not enough to get through the level".
However, as soon as the incident unfolded, she felt even more regretful, angry, sorry and helpless.
Both sides are bear children - but Ciris is certainly more excessive. However, neither Siris, nor James nor Lupin will be severely punished for this incident. It's no wonder that the Potions professor later became so disgusted with the Marauder Four, not because he was a Slytherin and they were Gryffindor - but because, in his eyes, the Marauder Four were the bad guys who had killed him in danger and feared for his life, and then were unjustly shielded.
Willow Spring sighed, got up from the ground, and held out a hand towards Snape, as if intending to pull him up as well.
"Siris has done a far worse than a prank...... I'm very sorry for that. She said, her gaze piercing through the deep darkness, gazing at the young man's pale face in the faint moonlight cast from a high air window not far away.
Snape snorted, not trying to hold the hand, but instead braced his hands on the ground, intending to barely hold himself up.
"You don't think that a 'I'm sorry' will heal your Gryffindor sins and make you all look innocent, innocent, and innocent like silver unicorns, do you?"
In the darkness, her gaze seemed to flicker.
"No, that's not the case. She replied, watching Snape struggle to his feet, a little shaky for a moment, and the hand she stretched out to him was so stagnant in the air that he deliberately ignored. However, she did not show the slightest embarrassment.
Even when treated so rudely, there was still an element of self-restraint in her expression, gentle and calm - it gave him more evidence to convince himself that she was just a fake, because the real Lily had a much more distinct personality than she did! Instead of rushing in front of those bad guys like this impostor, trying to solve the matter on their own without alerting anyone, pretending to be a caring gesture, in fact, they just want to cover up this big secret for those bastards!
As a result, the next second what she said was out of his expectations.
"Next time if they do something bad to you, I'll be on your side. ”
Snape: "......"
Hearing Lily's voice say this, a secret layer of smugness appeared in his heart subconsciously - but after a moment, reason returned, and immediately reminded him that this voice represented nothing more than the hypocrisy of an impostor!
“...... I don't need your hypocrisy, impostor!" he replied hatefully, shaking off her outstretched hand and limping as he walked slowly in the direction of the school hospital.
"If you really want to do me a favor, then let Lily come back!" he said as he walked, gritting his teeth and not looking back.
Somehow, he just knew that she would follow, and that he would hear what he said—he wondered what else he could say to stimulate her nerves, so that the imposter would leave sooner rather than later, for he had come to realize that it was not easy to prove to others that there was a forgery in Lily's shell, and that no one believed what he said, not even the one who claimed to have a good opinion of Lily. None of the cocky Potters, or his sinister friends, could see the difference between the imposter and the real Lily!
Then he heard the imposter chuckle.
His answer was no surprise to him.
"What are you talking about, Seaver? I'm Lily. ”
Snape slammed his brakes down the hallway, and his injured left foot began to ache again and again from the action, but he was already about to be blown up by the impostor's arrogance, and such a trivial matter as a foot pain could certainly be ignored for a moment.
"Don't try to fool me, just like you fooled the other fools - what are you going to do with that werewolf tonight, impostor?! The real Lily won't play your tricks, and she won't yell like you did in that house, trying to control everyone present! So—"
"So, I was just worried about your safety, Seaver. He heard the imposter smile, a gentle, calm smile in his voice.
...... Lies, lies! he thought angrily. Everything she said was a lie! It was all a lie to whitewash her innocence and exonerate herself! He wouldn't believe a word! This cunning impostor, who thought she was so successful in pretending to be a Gryffindor, was actually full of flaws! If she were to wear the Sorting Hat again, she would definitely be sorted into Slytherin!
...... No, it seems to be far away.
He felt even more irritable as he watched the imposter walk ahead of him, knock lightly on the door, and then give Madam Pomfrey a well-behaved smile at the door as she came to open the door, pointing at him behind him, and quickly explaining something.
This world, when will you be deceived before you will understand, impostor?!
