Draco and the three of them quickly got up and rushed to Snape to ask about Catherine, but the Potions Professor didn't answer at all, and just led the way out of the Great Hall.

The three of Harry ran to congratulate Hagrid before they hurried to find Lupin, and the new DA professor only said that he would not ask questions for a while, and led them to the medical wing, and by the time they arrived, Dumbledore and Madam Pomfrey were already standing in front of Catherine's bed.

"Based on Snape's description, I think the reason why the Dementors had such an impact on Catherine was not only because of her rough past, but also because of her summer experience." Madam Pomfrey began to explain when she saw everyone.

"Catherine has been running around this summer, not getting a good rest, the magic consumption is very large, almost exhausted, and even the soul has left the body, although the examination at that time is not a big problem, but after all, it still reduces the body's defense, so when it is stimulated, it will cause a magic riot."

"Now she needs to recuperate, no one but Snape can come and disturb her, and I'll arrange a visit time when she's sober." As soon as Madam Pomfrey gave the order, all the minors were driven away, and Lupin was also led by Dumbledore to find his way and solve the luggage problem by the way.

Madam Pomfrey, after checking on the patient's condition again, left the room, leaving room for Snape and Catherine.

Snape sat on the edge of the hospital bed, quietly watching the sleeping Catherine, but his mind couldn't help but recall the thrill of their return to the medical wing.

"Severus," Madam Pomfrey said with great sadness as soon as she checked the red-haired girl's condition, "Catherine's soul fluctuations are very faint now, as if she could disappear at any moment. ”

"Wasn't Dumbledore very good at soul magic? I'm going to call him back right away! Snape immediately ran to the door of the medical wing, but was stopped by Madam Pomfrey.

"No way!" Madam Pomfrey shouted, "Dumbledore's attributes are the same as Catherine's, and any action he makes can cause damage to Catherine, even if he stays at Hogwarts." will aggravate her condition. ”

"Is there no way?" Snape froze in disbelief.

Madam Pomfrey hesitated for a long time before replying, "Not for nothing!" It's just that this method is too vicious! ”

"How?" Snape hurried back to the bedside and shouted.

"Deprive other creatures of their vitality and replenish Catherine's body!" Madam Pomfrey trembled violently, "This is a felony worthy of life imprisonment in Azkaban. ”

"Perhaps," Snape's love ...... suddenly calmed down, "no need to sin. He pulled out a white bead the size of a pigeon's egg from his pocket.

"What is this?"

"The soul bead, the crystallization of the soul, is also an unformed life." Snape spoke, suddenly pressing the white bead in his hand against Catherine's right palm.

The soul bead cracked a crack and let out a strong silent wail, which instantly turned into a powdery white crystal and disappeared into Catherine's hand.

"It's murder!" Madam Pomfrey screamed as she grabbed her collar.

"Since those who have abortions are not considered murderers. Then it doesn't count as murder either. Snape said coldly, and sat on the edge of her bed, holding Catherine's hand tightly, and staring at her intently.

Madam Pomfrey opened her mouth, but finally didn't say anything, just quietly exited the hospital room and rushed to the headmaster's office to inform Dumbledore of the incident.

When the memories ended, Snape couldn't help but look out the window, when the full moon was already hanging in the sky, and when he looked down again. Catherine's eyelids twitched slightly, which made his tense heart relax and a smile on his face.

Catherine slowly opened her eyes and saw Snape bathed in moonlight. She couldn't help but whisper, "Professor, you look so good when you smile!" ”

Snape was stunned for a moment, then reached out and gently stroked Catherine's hair, "You are beautiful when you open your eyes, too." ”

Catherine was dumbfounded, she stared at Snape for a long time. Then he suddenly asked, "How does it compare to my mother?" ”

A familiar face suddenly appeared in front of Snape, but her eyes were closed forever, never to be opened again. Heavy grief instantly welled up in his heart, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression lost all warmth.

"Promise me not to close your eyes again, okay?"

"How is that possible!" Catherine smiled wryly and closed her eyes, hiding the deep disappointment and stinging pain in her eyes, "No one can open their eyes forever." ”

Snape suddenly gasped, he actually took Catherine for Lily again! I still haven't done what I promised to do!

Snape was remorseful! He knew he had broken Catherine's heart once more, and at a time when she needed it most.

He opened his mouth to say sorry, but he knew that it was the worst excuse, that there was no sincerity at all, and that he would only hurt her again.

"Professor!" When Snape hesitated, Catherine suddenly closed her eyes and said, "I want to rest." Before he could finish speaking, he broke free from his hand and turned his back to him.

Looking at Catherine's back, and then at his empty left hand, Snape gritted his teeth and got up to leave the room, leaving not a word.

The cool flowing water instantly became bitter and unbearable.

Catherine didn't know when she had fallen asleep, and when she opened her eyes, it was already noon the next day, and she was stunned for a moment before calling Dobby to help.

Sensing the movement in the ward, Madam Pomfrey also hurried over to check, and as soon as she saw Catherine awake, she immediately examined her body, and explained the situation to her.

After hearing Snape's actions, Catherine couldn't help but regret for a while, she shouldn't have been so careful, but if she changed her principles at will, she wouldn't be Catherine.

So Catherine could only silently listen to Madam Pomfrey's nagging, silently finish her breakfast, silently send out her shopping list, and silently dig out the parchment listing the things to do this year, until it suddenly became noisy outside.

Catherine listened intently for a while, and realized that Hagrid's first lesson on protecting magical creatures was about Hippogriffs, and as a result, Draco unreasonably angered one of them and was scratched by the other, which made the red-haired girl's face suddenly look ugly.

"Madam Pomfrey!" Catherine suddenly cast a loud spell on herself, "He must stay with me in the medical wing for three days." ”

Outside, it was silent, except for the busy voices of Madam Pomfrey, followed by the whispers of others leaving, and finally Draco's footsteps.

Draco pushed open the door and walked over to Catherine's hospital bed, but the red-haired girl ignored him, and the platinum boy didn't speak until an hour later.

"I'm disappointed." Catherine's head still didn't lift, "Do you know why?" ”

"Yes." Draco pulled his head and said in frustration, "There are so many ways to do this, but I chose the stupidest one." ”

"For the sake of your father's heart, I will not pursue it again."

"I will handle the subsequent developments without letting others suspect them, and I will not arbitrarily wronged the innocent."

"Humph!" Catherine snorted coldly and changed the subject, "What was the reaction within Slytherin last night?" ”

"There are so many people whispering, Torah. Kensaut even called you a coward. ”

"He's Kensaut's younger brother?"

"Yes." Draco suddenly smiled wirrikingly, "He's very interested in the chief competition and didn't miss any shots at all." ”

"Oh!" Catherine replied meaningfully, "What about the other freshmen?" ”

"One is named Alexander. Thatcher's boys helped the senior in Ixissi take people back to the freshman dormitory. ”

"Uh-huh!" Catherine finally stopped what she was doing, but her head still didn't lift, "Tell Senior Ixasi for me and ask him to help me prepare a challenge for an unlimited number of people." ”

Draco was stunned for a moment before answering the question, "Yes!" ”

"Where's the time turner?" Catherine continued her work, "A few people got it this year. ”

"It's just me at the moment." Draco said helplessly, "Dumbledore adjusted the course, and the others had no excuses, and the dean directly asked Ixissi to reschedule." ”

"Then reschedule!" Catherine put down her quill and took the parchment in her hand and studied it for a moment before saying, "Stay here for three days, but don't bother me unless your father has news." ”

"I understand! You have a good rest first! With that, Draco gently left the room.

Catherine pulled up the quilt and lay down, and before she knew it, she fell asleep again, even until Tuesday.

When she didn't open her eyes, she smelled a familiar scent of moonlight flowers, but when she opened her eyes, she didn't see the familiar black figure, looked around, and found that there was a glass bottle hanging upside down at the head of the bed, and a needle was pierced on the back of her right hand, but her right hand, which had been hanging outside the quilt for a long time, did not feel the slightest cold, and was even a little warmer than usual.

Catherine closed her eyes hard and swallowed the bitterness that was about to pour into her throat.

Eating and reading, apart from not being able to get out of bed, Madam Pomfrey did not forbid Catherine to do anything else this time, and really arranged a time for her to be a guest.

At noon on Tuesday, Harry hurried to the medical wing to visit him as soon as he had finished his lunch, and when he saw that Catherine was really fine, he began to complain about Draco and worry about Hagrid.

In the end, Catherine simply assigned the whole task in the address book - to design a reasonable curriculum for the protection of magical creatures, and try to get Hagrid to do it, so Harry became the object of everyone's complaints.

But when all the members had experienced Hagrid's outrageous interests, they were all very cooperative, hoping that the whole mission would succeed as soon as possible.

"About Blake! Katherine, do you know why Mr. Weasley asked me to never go to him? It wasn't until there was nothing else to talk about that Harry hesitated to ask what was most important to him. (To be continued......)
