"What else?" Catherine's gaze suddenly met Snape's eyes, and he felt like two sharp swords that had been pierced into his heart.

"I ......" Snape opened his mouth for a long time, but could not give a decent answer.

"I'm sorry!" Catherine looked up and got rid of Snape's hand, "When you figure out the answer, you can ask me again!" With that, she opened the door and left the secret room.

By the time Snape chased him out, he had lost Catherine again.

"Damn!" Snape slammed against the wall, "Why can't I answer such a simple question?" He frowned, but he couldn't figure it out, "Does it have anything to do with it?" ”

Snape flicked his wand suddenly, and a silver mist emerged from the tip of his wand, but instead of a deer, it was a blurry silver figure.

"Gotta look it up." Snape waved his wand to dispel his Patronus and slowly stepped into the Great Hall, only to find that Catherine had returned to Harry's side, and his hanging heart finally relaxed.

"Severus?" Professor McGonagall wanted to inquire about their whereabouts, but found that Snape was already sitting in his chair with his eyes closed, and his face was full of tiredness, which reminded her of Madam Pomfrey's diagnosis half a month ago.

Seeing this, Professor McGonagall had to put her doubts to herself for a while, and sat down in the chair next to her, guarding the door while preventing other students from coming to disturb her, but she did not notice that her own storage had actually disturbed Snape's rest.

The front page of the second day was really about Sirius. Blake, but because the author is notorious Rita. Skeeter, so the headline is actually "Dumbledore protects Blake!" Dementors attack Hogwarts! 》

Two simple writing skills, but reversed right and wrong, causing a big uproar, even Catherine has already seen a lot, and she has to admire the skill of this one, but when she thinks that the Ministry of Magic will be under too much pressure. And relax on Sirius. Blake's attention, she couldn't help but be grateful in her heart for this reporter who likes to chase after the wind.

Thanks to Rita. Skeeter trumpeted the students' performance in the fight against the Dementors, so early in the morning a large number of owls sent condolences to the children's parents, and the professors were besieged by letters, especially the four deans.

Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitsch, and Professor Sprout all opened it himself, but Snape magically threw the letter back to the sender's child, and the unrelated person burned it, leaving only one.

The others were surprised, but Snape gave Catherine a meaningful glance and put the letter away. Resume breakfast.

Although Catherine was puzzled, she honestly went to Snape's office after breakfast, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw that the letter was placed in the most prominent position on her desk, and in addition to the address and name of the recipient, the envelope had only four more capital letters in the lower right corner: KTOC!

A strong sense of unease immediately swelled up in Catherine's heart when K wrote to herself, and she quickly walked over to pick up the envelope, and when she touched the shape of the contents inside, her face turned white in an instant. When she tore open the envelope and saw what had fallen out, she actually fell directly to the ground.

Snape never expected Catherine to be so out of shape when he realized something was wrong. When I wanted to reach out to help, I was knocked down by the red-haired girl who had completely lost any support, and when I found that she was shaking violently, all her skin lost its blood. The Potions Professor couldn't help but look at what had fallen out of the envelope.

It was a dagger, a dagger as white as jade, but without the slightest dazzling light. It is identical to Catherine's black dagger in appearance, and is clearly a pair.

"She's fine." Snape couldn't help but reassure, but found that his words were unusually weak, because K had said that this was a dagger that her father had specially ordered for them as personal protection, but now K's one was actually sent to Catherine, saying that she was okay was a bit unbelievable.

"It doesn't mean something happened to her." Catherine choked up and said, "In addition to being our personal protection weapons, this pair of daggers also has a function of positioning, and a special device installed in the handle can help us quickly find the other party's location." ”

"Doesn't that mean—" Snape didn't say anything more.

"The last contact between us has been cut off by her." Catherine closed her eyes in pain, pressed her chest hard, gasped for air, and her face was full of unbearable sadness.

Snape was heartbroken at this, and quietly took out his wand and knocked Catherine unconscious, before picking her up from the ground and kicking the dagger under the cabinet next to her, so that she would not wake up and hurt her.

Snape carried Catherine into his bedroom and wanted her to get a good rest, but seeing her restless look even in a coma, he couldn't help but think of what he saw when he arrived at Hogwarts Express on the first day of school, and he couldn't help but sit at the head of the bed, hold her in his arms, and gently pat her on the shoulder.

This familiar warmth and care made Catherine finally slowly spread her frown and fall asleep peacefully, but Snape suddenly remembered a discussion between Harry and K about her in South America.

They had just finished visiting Bermuda and were having lunch and planning their next trip, but Catherine and Snape were the only ones in charge of research, and Harry and Dobby, who had finished eating, were taken by K to a nearby cold drink stand to buy ice cream.

As Snape looked at the map and was distraught, he suddenly heard Harry, who had walked back to the table, curiously whispered a question to K, "Kate!" What was Catherine like when she was a child? ”

But K's tone of reply was a little bitter: "The first time I saw her was when she was only five years old. At that time, C was as sharp and dull as her dagger, and few people could see her for what she was, until she was stabbed to understand how terrible she really was. ”

"And then?" Harry couldn't help but ask nervously.

"Later, of course, it was the wise and martial arts that enlightened her!" K's answer was immediately exchanged for Catherine's disdainful snort, "Okay! All right! In fact, it was because the teacher only had two of us disciples, and he didn't allow us to kill each other, so I dared to approach her unscrupulously and try to make her laugh. ”

"Doesn't Catherine laugh?" Harry asked distressedly.

"She was like the old bat at first, and it took me a whole year to get the corners of her mouth upturned, and another year to make her learn to smile, so I took her to France for a month to visit the Mona Lisa at the Louvre."

"But then no matter how hard I try, I can't make her smile really smile, but that bastard does it lightly, it's so hateful!" K angrily poked the ice cream in his hand.

"Who's that bastard?" Harry's tone grew angry.

"The guy who kidnapped C!" Catherine, who heard this answer, swept a meaningful look, but this time K did not give in, "He not only kidnapped her person, but also kidnapped her heart." You know, I've been with her for six years, but every time I get close to her, C never doesn't notice it, but she lets that guy come and go around her as she pleases, this super invincible bastard who forgets his friends! ”

K directly popped the drink bottle in her hand, startling the people around her into an exclamation, she was busy pretending to be stupid, which made Snape's eyes twitch, and once again raised the purple-haired girl's unreliable Cheng dù by one level, but Catherine just rolled her eyes and stopped paying attention to her idiotic behavior, obviously used to it.

So now Snape doesn't understand what happened to make that somewhat ridiculous K, cut off the last means of contact between Catherine and her.

That K actually had the idea of going to the underworld in order to find Samael, and when the turtle boss who was marked by the U.S. Ministry of Magic as purple was listed, her ungrateful attitude was particularly intriguing, and the logo of the Vatican Inquisition on Catherine's armguard, these clues combined seemed to indicate that it would definitely not be a trivial matter to be related to it.

Thinking of this, Snape could only sigh helplessly, and hugged the red-haired girl in his arms tighter, after all, he was only a professor at Hogwarts, and he didn't have enough well-informed information channels at all, even Lucius, who had a lot of energy in the wizarding world, was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get in touch with things at that level, so ......

Snape simply gave up thinking deeply, leaned directly against the bed board and began to close his eyes to recuperate, but he didn't expect to fall asleep in a daze.

The sun slowly rises and sets again until it is submerged by the earth.

Then after two months of habit, she couldn't help but remind Catherine that it was time to wake up and eat to supplement her nutrition.

So Catherine's consciousness slowly returned to her brain, but before she could open her eyes, she heard the sound of breathing around her, and she was startled, and she violently pushed the people around her out with both hands, and at the same time drew her wand and held her dagger back.

Snape was asleep soundly at this time, but he didn't expect to be suddenly pushed, and then he felt that he was empty, and the whole person fell to the ground, but after all, he had experienced a time of war, so before his brain was completely awake, he first aimed his wand at the person who attacked him.

When Catherine and Snape opened their eyes and saw each other clearly, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded, no one expected that the first time they met each other was in such a situation, the two were stunned for a long time, until the numb body suddenly struck, and the two put away their respective weapons. (To be continued......)
