950 945 [Return Chapter 5] 35

It's like the old madman with a sweet tooth who also came out of Gryffindor, Albus Dumbledore, the greatest white wizard alive, who forced him to make vows during his lifetime, and still hold his heart like chains, weighing him down.

And now this lioness, who had also inherited his crazy side, had risked her life to infiltrate Hogwarts at such a grim time, ignoring the Dark Lord and the Death Eaters' pursuit of her - yes, she should always have a way of knowing all the predicament she was facing - just to upset him, and inexplicably wanted to roar, and by the way, let him promise him that he would never forget everything he had promised the old bee to do?!

Just as Willow Springs opened his mouth slightly, as if to say something, Snape's face suddenly sank. His expression suddenly became very ugly, and that ugly look was obviously not caused by the person in front of him—he was clutching his left arm, and a muscle on his face twitched invisibly.

Liu Quan was taken aback by his expression. She reacted almost immediately, it must have been the Dark Mark on his left arm that was causing trouble again, but she didn't know why, as if this summons from the Dark Lord or the Death Eaters were different from the usual, implying the fear and danger of death and mortality.

Without saying a word, Snape turned around and strode towards the door of the Room of Requirement.

Willow Springs, who chased him a few steps behind him, stopped him in time, "Severus......! What's the matter?"

Snape stopped at the door, but didn't look back.

"That Potter infiltrated Hogwarts. I have to go to the auditorium right now and gather all the students. He said lightly, "I can't make those people suspicious right now." Besides, I'm curious how the Broken Kid was able to break through the Death Eaters and Dementors' defenses and infiltrate the castle with such a heavy guard. It has to be said that all Potters have a special and evil talent when it comes to night wandering and causing trouble. ”

He finally turned his head to stare at her behind him, a sneering smile on his face, as if thinking of his old rival.

Liu Quan's heart sank suddenly!

An irreversible plot...... Was she prepared and determined enough to save his seemingly irretrievable life when it was all over?

At the moment when he was still standing a few steps before her, all her foreshadowing, planning, preparation, and determination suddenly vanished, and only a brief moment of dazedness and subtle uneasiness remained in her heart, which drove her to suddenly lose her mind, and let out an incredibly weak pleading.

"No, Severus...... Please don't go......" she pleaded with him in vain.

"Harry won't ...... There will be no danger......" This sentence said that even she herself was extremely weak. Because she knew that Harry Potter would die soon, when he got the memories Snape had given him.

However, she still hoped that she could stop Snape from dying before Harry at Hogwarts.

"Harry will live to this day, no matter what happens...... I promise he'll live safely, so please don't go to that guy again......"

Before she could finish her words, the system bacteria suddenly roared in her head: "Hey!!Are you crazy!!If things are so simple, what do you want to do here?!]

Liu Quan was startled, and his voice suddenly stopped.

Snape was silent for a second, then glanced back at her coldly.

"I didn't know you still had prophetic blood, impostor. But I have to go, I have to do it. The Hogwarts battle you are talking about has not yet begun, and I must continue to lurk at 'that man' to spy on him. "Have you forgotten?" he reminded her sharply, "Is this not what your most respected and trusted Albus has told me to do?"

Liu Quan shuddered.

She could hear his determination in his sarcasm. This frightened her. Although she remembered that in the books the decisive battle at Hogwarts was May 2 - and it was only the night of May 1 - that did not mean that the days before that date were not dangerous. Maybe the details of the plot quietly changed in something she didn't know?

Willow Springs' heart already knew a little in her heart that it might be a complete failure for her to venture into Hogwarts with Lily Evans as she really was. She couldn't convince him.

But she was still a little unwilling. So in vain she tried one last time to dispel him.

"Harry, they've been looking for and destroying 'that man' Horcrux...... As his Horcruxes were destroyed one by one, his soul became more and more unstable...... He must have realized that things had come to an end...... He could kill everyone!Don't leave anything to chance, Severus, 'that man' doesn't care about anyone's life or death!He only seeks his own eternal life!Please don't go-"

Almost at the same moment, the system bacteria burst out again in her mind without warning: "Hey!!Plot Leak Warning!!Can't Say It Again!!If you don't want to destroy the world before Voldemort can do it!!]

Liu Quan was once again forced to stop his attempt to challenge the inertia of the plot. Anger and helplessness mixed and a strong flame and sadness swelled in her heart.

But Snape had apparently lost patience with her explanations. His face was extremely gloomy.

"I'm not afraid of death. If that's what you want to remind me of. He interrupted her dryly, a sneer on his lips. "And if I'm not mistaken, protecting the Savior Harry Potter from 'that man' was one of the promises Dumbledore asked me to make—you see, he made me swear too many oaths, and when those vows clashed one day, did Professor Dumbledore, whom you respect and trust, tell you which one I should obey?"

Willow Quan stood in front of him, watching him twist his lips into a mocking smile that was even a little miserable. He didn't know if he was laughing at others, or if he was laughing at himself - but in short, the wheel of fate had begun to turn, and no one could stop him.

In this moment, it became clear to her that she could no longer stop him.

Then let him go.

"You should keep all your promises. She regained her composure, staring straight at Lily's pale face and hollow dark eyes with her frighteningly green eyes.

...... He even used a brain glenceration on her, but why bother? She didn't mean to peek into his heart.

She stared at him and said word by word, "...... All promises. None can be forgotten, and no one can be violated. These promises do not contradict each other, and you will soon understand......"

She will make sure that these commitments do not conflict with each other, and that he will not give his life when he needs to live tenaciously. He only needs to do the first part, and the second part is the trouble that she will solve for him.

She didn't need to tell him so much, so clearly. And there is no time for them to explain it again. Snape turned away from her again, his right hand had already secured the handle of the door of the Room of Requirement, and with a slight force he could open the door and get out of her sight, and she no longer knew what was going to happen, or whether fate would lead them both to the unpredictable side.

How...... How could she allow this to happen?!Did she wait here for so long just to watch the situation get out of hand at the end, to see him quickly forget what he had promised, and to die in such a deplorable way with only the only and ultimate goal in his mind to "protect Lily's son"?!

A foolish impulse surged up from her chest, prompting her to run a few steps forward, and with that swift and swift momentum she threw herself on his back, clasped him tightly from behind, and pressed her cheek against his back. His temperature still faintly came through the heavy clothes and robes, and she was sure she could almost feel his powerful pulse and heartbeat.

"You...... What are you doing!" Snape froze, then roared loudly in anger. Although his roar sounded terrifying, his body did not dare to move, and he stood as stiff as a statue.

"Let go, impostor!" he commanded, barely suppressing his anger and in a dangerous tone.

She ignored it. He continued to wrap his arms around his waist and even closed his eyes.

Even if they can survive after the war, it's time to say goodbye. After completing the mission and successfully clearing the level, she can go home.

...... What a failure.

She thought silently in her heart.

In this world, how much frustration and disappointment do people have to feel in order to be successfully saved?

But anyway -

As long as you survive today, it is possible for this world to be saved. Leave the rest to the great Merlin in whom you believe.

At that point, I won't have any more chances to disappoint or anger you, Severus.

So...... Let's hug and say goodbye to these decades of waste?

Tears stubbornly crept out from under her closed eyelids, trembling dangerously on her long eyelashes.

But if I succeed tomorrow......

In that case, the decades of my life that will be written off in the future will not be wasted?......

The heavy sentimentality almost drilled out of her chest and directly into the air. She swallowed hard from the lump between her throats, feeling as if her throat was filled with gravel, rubbing against the softest muscles of her throat with each swallow, and it quickly festered, as if invisible blood was gurgling out, making her mouth bitter.

The record player in the corner of the room was still singing:

“’Coz I just want you here tonight

Holding on to me so tight

What more can I do

Baby, all I want for Christmas is you...”

This song is singing wrong. Wrong from the start. She thought vaguely.

This world, where is a beautiful world? A world full of sudden, reluctant parting of life and death, where can it be so beautiful.

But maybe that's why they're going to embark on a journey, and they're going to fight for a world as beautiful and full of love as the one in the song.

Snape's hands fell to his sides, clenched into fists and released, then clenched into fists again. After repeating this several times, it seemed as if he had been subjected to great torture, and a muscle on his face trembled indistinctly, and sweat broke out on his forehead. He straightened up as hard as he could, and at last he stretched out his right hand to grasp the handle of the door, but when his hand was over the fine bronze handle, the back of his hand seemed to spasm, and the movement of his right hand was hindered, and he did not open the door.

June 3:

I'm sorry, but I'd love to write this kind of cliché romance meme.

I've always felt that this kind of back-hugging waist killing is very emotional!

I've rewritten it three times, and I still feel like it's a bit insufficient...... But that's the only way to do it.

Next update: 0:00 tomorrow.
