"We don't call it a fight! It should be called finding fault! ”

"Is there a difference?"

"The 'degree' is different!" Lu Pingyan said, "As long as you have a good grasp of the 'degree', you can let both parties vent their bad feelings, but if you simply vent, it will definitely only get more and more angry." ”

"There is some truth to that." Dumbledore touched his beard, "Anyway, things have come to this point, and it's impossible to stop both sides for a while, so why don't you give it a try!" Even if the effect is not good, the 'firepower' of both sides will be almost exhausted, and it will be much easier to stop it. ”

"You're the most unreliable headmaster ever!" Phineas cursed and turned away from his portrait.

Dumbledore shrugged his shoulders and asked the two young men with a smile, "Do any of you want to stay and have tea with me?" ”

“NO！” "No!" Faced with this question, Lupin and Snape behaved in unison, and before the words fell, the two scrambled to leave the headmaster's office.

"O young people now! I really don't know how to respect the old and love the young. Dumbledore sighed, summoned his teacup, and drank as he "admired" the three-dimensional map of Hogwarts.

Because of the professors' personal "protection", the number of attacks on Slytherin was greatly reduced, but secretly, the battle continued, and even intensified, but in order to avoid the teachers interfering, both sides tried to avoid too many injuries, so as not to cause Madam Pomfrey to be angry and all of them suffered.

This continued until an announcement was made - the time of the first Hogsmeade weekend.

The students' attention was immediately drawn away, with the third year excitedly planning what they were going to do, and the first and second years listening enviously to the senior boasting about their experience, but Catherine began to worry about her Hogwarts weekend consent form.

Catherine got it from Percy on the day she left for Africa, but then she completely forgot about it, but her current guardian is Snape, so she doesn't have to call back to Little Whinging before school starts, like Harry. Signed by Dursley.

But when Catherine ran to find Snape. He refused to sign on the grounds that Sirius was still on the run.

"Everyone knows that Sirius kept saying 'He', not 'She', and he didn't come out of prison to find a woman, so why can't I go to Hogsmeade?"

"Because there are Dementors there." Snape paused for a moment before he said in a tone of strange concern, "I don't want anything to happen to you again." ”

Catherine shivered violently, and all the hairs on her body stood on end.

"Professor!" Catherine blinked and pleaded, "Can you please stop changing your tone of voice like this?" ”

Snape's habit of talking to her has changed dramatically over the past month. Often it is clear that the first half of the sentence is still a habitual sarcasm, and the tone of the second half of the sentence suddenly becomes gentle, this 180° turn, Catherine was completely frightened at the beginning, and then even if she was used to it, she still couldn't adapt to it.

"Would you rather listen to cynicism than enjoy soft talk." Snape's tone soared from the poles directly to the equator again.

Catherine couldn't help but reach out and rub her arms together to smooth the goosebumps there.

"It's not that you don't want to, it's that your tone changed too suddenly." Catherine smiled wryly. "You don't need to change your speaking habits at all."

"I do!" Snape stared at her, his tone very forced.

Catherine felt a warmth in her heart, followed by an even more violent throbbing.

"Professor!" Catherine closed her eyes hard to keep her unbearable pain from leaking out. "If you just love the house and Wu, please don't be so kind to me anymore, because every care you have is a disservice to me. I can't take it anymore. So—"

The red-haired girl opened her eyes weakly, and barely showed a smile: "Please don't care about me like this anymore." She bowed slightly, then turned and walked briskly out of Snape's office.

Catherine, who has always been strong. It was the first time that Snape was completely stunned by such a weak side, and he didn't even understand what she was saying, and by the time he remembered what she had said, he hurriedly got up and chased him out, and she was completely gone.

Snape searched frantically for a long time, searched all the places where Catherine had been, but found no trace of her, asked everyone who had a relationship with her, and did not find out her whereabouts, until he forced Dumbledore to resign, and learned that she was still at Hogwarts.

After making sure that Catherine was safe, Snape's heart that had been hanging was relaxed, but this relaxation made him completely collapse, and he actually fainted in the headmaster's office on the spot.

"I really don't know what to say?" Madam Pomfrey was so angry with Snape's physical condition that she couldn't get angry at all, "As a potions master, not only does he not take care of his body, he doesn't deal with old injuries and new creations, and even tests drugs at will from time to time, it's a miracle that he has survived until now!" ”

"Now that he's in my hands this time, I've been lying down for a year and a half, don't expect me to let him out of the medical wing." She rolled up her sleeves vigorously, showing her determination to make a big splash.

"Bobby, what about the kids' Potions lessons?" Dumbledore asked pitifully, where did he find a competent substitute teacher now!

Although the previous Potions professor was still alive, he had been wandering around since he resigned, and Dumbledore couldn't find the whereabouts of the other party for a while.

"I'll do it!" Catherine's voice suddenly entered the hospital room, "I can use the Polyjuice Potion to transform into Professor Snape's appearance, and with the time turner, Madam Pomfrey can be treated with confidence, and the other people's classes will not be delayed." She walked over to the bedside and gently took Snape's left hand.

Catherine really didn't expect that she just said a few heavy words, and deliberately avoided Snape to find it, so that his heartstrings that had been tense would break directly, since the mistake was caused by herself, the consequences would naturally have to be made by herself.

"Catherine! You should be well aware of how severe the sequelae of using a decoction of the opposite sex are. Madam Pomfrey looked disapproving.

"Not anytime soon, is it?" Catherine smiled confidently, "So you'll have to hurry, ma'am!" ”

Madam Pomfrey frowned and pondered for a moment before she spoke again: "Ten days! It can only replace ten days at most! Ten days later, if Albus still can't find a substitute teacher, I'll wake Snape right away. ”

"I understand!" Catherine smiled, but Dumbledore noticed that her smile was a little bright.

There were not many people who could stand Snape's cynicism, such as Dumbledore, Madam Pomfrey, Leopin, etc., and even Harry had understood that he only needed to master the language of the Potions professor to figure out what he really meant; But the only one who could learn from him to speak, pretend to be his annoying look, and not show his flaws, was Catherine.

For one thing, they had spent more time together in the past two years than the others combined, so Catherine was well acquainted with Snape's habits; Second, Catherine's Occlumency was taught by Snape, and naturally he also learned his method of controlling emotions; Three of Catherine's wands had used Snape's wand and knew exactly how it fit into herself.

So when Dumbledore went to inspect incognito, he really couldn't believe that the black figure who was lecturing was not the real Snape, because his words and deeds were no different from Slytherin Dean himself, the only difference was that some of Catherine's sarcastic metaphors were more vivid and closer to life, such as:

"Could it be that your skull is actually tofu? No! The taste of tofu is still exceptionally delicious, but your brain is as bad as tofu dregs! ”

"Don't you notice that the bile is similar in color and texture to pumpkin juice, and even their usage is very similar, pour half into it, not enough to quench your thirst, pour it all in, and make you want to vomit, only pour no more, no less 9/17 cups, the best effect."

It's just that this makes it difficult for the students to eat after every Potions class, and they feel sick to their stomachs when they see anything, which scares the Hogwarts house-elves into hitting the wall after every meal. The good thing is that every student will never forget the potion they just learned, because the impression is so impressive.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of other faculty members, Catherine would occasionally go to the Great Hall to dine in the same way as Snape, or patrol the castle, and naturally go to the Forbidden Forest to find potion materials, and by the way, she could also find Sirius's whereabouts.

But every time Catherine struggled to find the big black dog, as soon as the other party saw "him", she immediately turned around and ran away without a trace, and the speed was even faster than the latest fire ballista.

"What kind of grudge do you have, and why does he turn and run away every time he sees Professor Snape?" Once or twice, Catherine didn't pay attention to it, but after the third time, she went straight to Lupin.

"At first it was just because of Lily." Lupin touched his nose in embarrassment, "James somehow fell in love with her, and Snape was her friend, so the two became-for-tat, and then it became more and more intense, and it slowly became a conflict between Snape and the four of us.

Severus's observation was keen, and he soon spotted my anomaly, and he was particularly interested in where I went every time the moon was full, and Sirius told him how to stop beating the willows.

So when Madam Pomfrey and I walked across the meadow on a full moon night, he knocked after him, and thankfully James spotted him in time to pull him back, but he still saw me, but Professor Dumbledore wouldn't let him go. ”

"I just want to ask—" Catherine's tone suddenly became very cold, "Sirius, did he know what the consequences of that would be?" (To be continued......)
