"The professor said that - it was so sad! Obviously, everyone has been living in this cellar with the professor for so long, how can the professor not know people? Obviously, the other day, we got along very happily! ”

Hermione's teasing left Severus a little at a loss.

Don't look at Severus who is not young now, his godson is so old, but others are unexpectedly innocent.

This is something that Severus's good friend, Lucius, who is also a Slytherin graduate, is very surprised until now.

You know, the senior students of Slytherin House have always held some "small gatherings" every once in a while to relax everyone.

However, neither he nor Severus attended such "gatherings" at the beginning.

Although he knew that the nobles' secret life was very □□, but as the heir of the Malfoy family, how could the children of those small noble families be worthy of him.

And Severus - although he is at the top of Slytherin, and Severus has also proven his ability.

But his never-groomed appearance, his ever-greasy hair and gloomy personality, his unbearable poisonous tongue - no one would have thought of inviting Severus to those "little parties" so much.

This is understandable.

But then, after joining the Death Eaters, Severus was dragged to attend several special parties held by the Death Eaters due to the pressure of the war.

After all, they had captured a lot of captives at that time, and those female captives became toys for everyone at the party to vent.

Fortunately, Narcissa was from the Black family, and the Dark Lord's affection for the Malfoy family, for him, and for Bella allowed him to avoid those parties.

However, Severus, who is also a potions master who also flies the Dark Lord's weapon, the Dark Lord's right and left hand, has no prominent status, so he has become the object of those petty nobles.

It's just a pity that those people slapped the wrong sycophants and dragged Severus to those parties.

He remembered that none of those people ended well.

It's just that he's really curious, after going to a few parties like that, how Severus "kept himself" and at the same time made himself so innocent?

Not to mention Lucius, after fusing the memories of this world, even Hermione was very curious.

However, after thinking about who Severus was doing this for, Hermione was unhappy again, and raised her eyebrows, making her smile even more coquettish.

As a nine-tailed fox, the fragrance that comes with it is no longer fully suppressed.

She's originally a "vixen" who is good at seducing and seducing men, isn't she?

Severus bit the tip of his tongue to keep himself awake, and he worked his Occlumency to the extreme.

"You're Hermione Granger?"

"Does Severus call people 'Min'! You used to call me 'Min'! ”

"Let go of me, what are you talking about? Teasing your own professor? Then I'll have to deduct 10 points for Gryffindor. Also, confinement until the end of the period! ”

"Good! I was already in the cellar with Seaver, wasn't I? Confinement is the same for me. ”

Severus's face was almost dripping black now, but if you looked closely, you would see that Severus's face was actually red.

Thinking back to what she had heard from Draco last night about this damn imp, Severus really couldn't connect this troll that hung on her now, as if she hadn't seen a man, like a flattering baby in heat, to the man Draco had spoken of.

Although Draco didn't say a lot of things because he didn't have permission from the troll.

"Seaver already knows a lot of things from Draco!"

With that, Hermione took the hand around Severus' neck, let him go away from her side, and then took her leg off Severus' shoulder as well.

Although Severus is quite fun, it is not too much.

Severus left Hermione's side as soon as he was freed.

Step aside and start sorting out your clothes.

Hermione felt a little uncomfortable as she watched Severus leave her so eagerly.

There was also a hint of grief in his eyes when he looked at Severus.

Severus was annoyed by Hermione's eyes like a "negative man".

Damn it—

In the situation just now, he was the one who was taken advantage of!

"Is Miss Granger ready to 'confess' to his poor professor?"

"What does Seaver want to know? I'll tell you anything you want to know. Know that I never hide it from you, as long as you ask me! ”

"Call me Professor, Gryffindor deducts ten!"

Although he had been used to being called by her name before, after what had just happened to him, Severus felt that he really couldn't calmly listen to Hermione call him that.

"Okay, Seaver~ You know, I don't care about Gryffindor's score at all, you just deduct a negative score, and I don't care."

It's good - the deduction of points doesn't work anymore, and confinement doesn't matter, maybe I should think of a more useful means of "punishment".

"Miss Granger, then, can you tell the poor professor what he ought to know?"

The two sat on the couch, with Severus sitting on the separate single couch on the other side, facing Hermione.

Hermione waved her hand, and a tea set instantly appeared on the coffee table.

Hermione gracefully made a pot of tea, poured a cup and handed it to Severus.

"Taste it! Green tea from China, you used to like it a lot. ”

Ever since Hermione Granger became what she is now, there has been a kind of intimacy in her words and actions.

He was curious, but he didn't ask anything.

Maybe he didn't subconsciously want to know the answer.

Because that answer may break his long-term life, and even change the ending he has arranged for himself a long time ago.

Picked up the cup of tea and took a sip without hesitation.

Although he was suspicious of Hermione Granger, he believed that she would not harm him, so he could drink what she gave him without hesitation.

Contradictory?

Perhaps!

The tea soup is bitter in the mouth, but after the bitterness is gone, it has a sweet aftertaste.

Although he was not very used to the smell, he did not hate it.

"Like Draco, I came here from the 'future'. But unlike Draco, who came back because of the temporal storm, I came back after I 'committed suicide' myself. I thought I was dead, but I didn't expect that when I came to consciousness again, I would find myself back in Hogwarts. ”

After hearing Hermione's words, Severus's original tea drinking movement paused significantly.

In fact, when he heard Hermione mention wanting to kill Dumbledore more than once yesterday, he knew that something must have happened.

Otherwise, Draco, who had returned from the "Future" and had become a qualified Malfoy, and had also rebuilt the Malfoy family after the war, would not have been able to stop her.

You know, if you want to kill Dumbledore now, it won't end much better than the Dark Lord in the future.

And last night, when he and Lucius asked about Hermione Granger, Draco was clearly hiding something.

It's just that he never thought that Hermione Granger would end up - suicide!

You must know that life is always good, even after Lily's death, he was captured in Azkaban like a walking corpse, and he did not choose to commit suicide.

What kind of despair would make a young girl choose to commit suicide!

Especially after they have been victorious, and after enjoying the fruits of victory, they are finally able to live in an era of peace.

What's more, this girl actually finished such a play in front of them so calmly after she chose to commit suicide and woke up without dying-

It's really horrible!

Hermione seemed to sink into a memory after saying that.

She sat there, her eyes empty, the expression on her face constantly changing, sometimes sweet, sometimes resentful, and finally despairing.

The almost materialized despair made Severus feel like she understood why she had chosen to die before.

Hermione, who finally woke up from her memories, looked visibly tired.

Rubbing her forehead, Hermione was suddenly in no mood to think about what she was going to "confess" to Severus.

"If there's anything you want to ask, just ask! Although Draco investigated a lot of things back then, there were many things that only the parties concerned knew. ”

So - let's let Severus have anything to know, just ask!

"What's the deal with Horcruxes?"

Sure enough, in Severus now, the most important thing is to destroy the Dark Lord!

Or should I say - protecting the life of Savior Potter is the most important thing.

"Horcruxes are the splitting of people's souls and then storing them in a vessel for preservation, so as to achieve the purpose of immortality. After all - the soul is immortal, life is endless. This is a very evil black magic where splitting souls is done by killing people. And the Dark Lord is also because of the Horcrux, so he can still not die after being hit by the rebounding Death Curse. ”

Although Hermione was smiling the whole time as she spoke, Severus could feel it—

She's crying!

I don't want to be surrounded by unsolvable despair like before, but this faint sadness makes people feel even more sad.
