Sally stood in front of a sign with the words 'Demolition' written on it, refusing to leave for a long time. The reason why she refused to leave was because she didn't know what she should do next.

The Star Orphanage was demolished, and no one told her, let alone a message or signal for her, and asked a few passers-by, all of whom said that they didn't know why it was demolished, and they didn't know where the demolition went.

Sally had left most of the money to Harry, which had been given to her by a wealthy family who had adopted her, and she didn't have enough money to buy another ticket back.

None of this is the point, even if she scrapes together enough money to go back, and then what? The reason why she is so justified in the Dursley family is because she has a way out, a backer. She could come back to the stars at any time, and she still remembered what the dean had said to her, "We will always be here for you, and you can come back whenever you want." ”

But now, she has completely become a person with nowhere to go.

As night fell, she decided to find a place to stay, carrying two huge suitcases, and walking for half an hour before finding a hotel that she could afford, not to mention the environment, at least now there was a place to stay.

All the money she had on her was barely enough to pay for three days, and when Les came tomorrow, she was thinking of something else.

Because she has no money on her, she can only sleep to avoid meal time. There was candy from Weasley and Malfoy in her luggage, which kept her from getting dizzy from hunger. She wasn't going to go back to Privet Road, and she was hesitant to go to the Burrow, she knew she would be warmly welcomed there, but was she really embarrassed to bother Mr. Weasley to pick her up in the car and let her eat and drink for the summer?

It seems that the only choice is the Malfoys, and perhaps Professor Snape. But Sally wasn't sure if he would allow her to go, and she wasn't even more sure if she should. Although she had always used Professor Snape's preference for her own house as an excuse, Sally knew deep down that Snape treated her specially, even if she didn't know why he was doing it for what reason.

In the evening, Les found her exact position, and Sally strapped a letter to Malfoy on her legs to soothe her awkward little emotions (Sally also felt embarrassed, and only let Les drink a few sips of water, not even stuttering). She breathed a sigh of relief as she watched it fly back into the sky.

Hopefully, even if Malfoy doesn't take her in, he'll be able to send her some Muggle coins for the sake of his former friends.

Until ten o'clock in the morning of the fourth day, Schiller still did not bring back any information, and he had to check out before twelve o'clock at noon, and there were only two pieces of candy left in his pocket, which was lunch at noon today. Sally lay on the bed, her heart empty, she felt that she had no choice, after all, in this world, the people she could rely on didn't know who else.

Knock knock. At the rare sound of knocking on the door, Sally was shocked, and suddenly full of hope, she sat up, and the door rang three more times. Someone had come looking for her, had Malfoy come to pick her up? She opened the door and found two men in suits standing in the doorway she didn't recognize.

"You are ... She asked suspiciously, and then became vigilant, and her hands were ready to close the door at any time.

"Sally Potter. A man said in a low voice. Sally nodded, and saw the man take out his wand from his cuff, and Sally reflexively closed the door, only to hear the door vibrate violently and make a sound.

The man outside knocked on the door, and Sally locked the deadbolt and picked up the hotel phone, only to find that it was nothing but a fixture, and not even a phone line was plugged in. She ran to the trunk and pulled out her wand and pointed it at the door. The knocking on the door stopped suddenly, and then suddenly, the entire door shattered into several pieces.

"Who's fighting, I've already called the police. The proprietress downstairs finally heard the noise and ran up, but was knocked unconscious by a spell from one of the men in a suit, and the rest of the hotel closed the door.

"You, who are you?" said Sally, pointing her wand at one of them.

"Come with us. The man in the suit said, "If you don't want to get hurt." ”

Sally's nerves were tense, she felt her hands tremble, and her stomach felt like a twist. She already had stomach problems, and she had reached the limit without eating for a few days, and now she had no chance of winning at all, and she had used up all her energy just standing and confronting them.

"The Lord wants to live. Another man in a suit said, "It's better that there is no damage at all." ”

"It's just a little girl, no problem. The man in the suit said, putting away his wand. The other was still facing her. Seeing the two of them approaching her step by step, Sally's hands trembled more and more.

"Except for your weapons" and "all petrified"

I saw that behind the two men in suits, two more casually dressed men appeared, raising their wands, because the men in suits were defenseless, so they were unloaded in an instant and petrified in place.

"Sally, are you okay Sally?" the two people came running like Sally, but Sally felt that it was dark in front of her, and finally fainted.

12 Grimmauld Place, attic.

"There's no way to put her here all the time. A man's voice said. "She's still too young, and she's not so well defined. ”

"But she's Lily's daughter. Another female voice faintly came. "Look at the way she looks. ”

"But the mysterious man came to Harry to kill him, and she was to be caught alive and intact. Do you understand what that means?" said the man again.

But she resisted. Another male voice said. "We've all seen it. ”

There was silence down there for a while.

"When is Dumbledore coming. ”

Sally got up, still a little dizzy, but her stomach was better. She leaned against the wall and walked step by step.

It was a spacious living room, and it was a little dim because there were only a few candles and the curtains were drawn. But Sally could roughly tell that there were six or seven people.

"Kids. You're awake. A woman with blonde hair was the first to see her and came to help her. "You shouldn't have come down child. ”

"I'm sorry. Sally said, "I'm just trying to see if I can get something to eat, I'm so hungry." ”

"Look at me and I forgot. She said. "You go back to your room and wait, I'll get you something to eat, and I'll serve it." ”

"Thank you, I can go up myself. Sally said, leaning against the wall, and as she went up, she couldn't help but glance back, recognizing that the man who had defeated one of the men in black was sitting there.

After waiting in the room for a while, the woman came up with hot honey porridge and some pancakes, and she said apologetically, "That's what I found in the kitchen." ”

"It's okay, thank you, I don't know what to call it. Sally asked.

"Oh, you don't have to know my name. "Actually, the less you know, the better." ”

"Dumbledore, your headmaster, is coming soon, and he'll tell you where you should go for the rest of your summer." With that, she closed the door and left.

Sally drank some honey porridge little by little, even if she was hungry to death, she didn't dare to eat too fast, years of experience had taught her that eating too fast would not do her fragile stomach much good.

She couldn't hear the voices of the underclass, so she sat there, and before she knew it, she fell asleep again.

"Child, wake up. A familiar voice woke her up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the bespectacled, bearded Dumbledore smiling kindly.

"Headmaster. Sally felt her eyes redden. "I can't find my home, I don't know where I'm going, can you help me find it?"

"I'm afraid there's nothing I can do, kid. Dumbledore said. "But if you want, you'll have a new home, put on your shoes, and I'll be waiting for you below. ”

After saying that, he left first. Sally put on her shoes and followed her into the hall, where there were a few more candles and it was much brighter, and on the chair sat a pale, ragged man, and Professor Snape, who was leaning against the wall and looking at her steadily.

Sally followed Dunledo, afraid to look into Professor Snape's eyes. She may be in trouble, and the principal may be expelling her.

"I don't think there's anyone better suited to be a Witness, Lupin. Dumbledore said. He pulled a letter out of his sleeve. "I've been looking for the right time to make an announcement, and I don't think there's anything better than now. ”

"Lily Potter's will. Dumbledore unfolded the letter, saying, "To her loveliest child, Sally." ”

Lily Potter, her mother, Sally stood in place, as if she had been immobilized under a spell.

"My dear Sally, forgive my mother for writing this letter in advance, and in these turbulent times, I leave it to the most trusted and at the same time the most reliable Professor Dumbledore for safekeeping. If you are unfortunate enough to hear or see this letter, child, I want you to know that Mom and Dad will always love you. ”

"My biggest regret may be that I can't watch you grow up in person, but I remember how you were born, and my little hands grabbed my fingers tightly, and from that moment on, I knew that I was willing to give everything I had for you. I have so many things to say to you, I want to see how you become a lady, watch you become a good magician, Dad said you look very much like me, I think so too, I have watched you fall asleep countless times and thought, we go on an outing as a family, you will use your sweet voice, follow behind me and call me Mom, I will hold you high in my arms, I even sometimes think of the scene when you got married, in my heart, I have lived with you all my life. ”

"I love you, so if I leave, I'll put you in the hands of someone I think is most trustworthy. Severus Snape, my friend, I don't know if this decision was the right one, but I don't think anyone will work harder to protect you than he did. Let him be your godfather, at least you can be guaranteed that your life is worry-free. ”

"Child, I only want you to be healthy... Dumbledore wiped the tears from behind his glasses and said, "That's all the letter is about." Child, it's your parents' opinion, but I'd like to hear your opinion on whether or not you'd like Severus Snape to be your godfather. ”

There was silence in the hall, no one spoke, only the sound of candles burning silently, and after a long time, Sally finally spoke in a very small voice, "Professor Snape, do you want me?"

Professor Snape was in the darkness of the room, and Sally couldn't make out her expression. A long time passed, so long that she thought Snape hadn't heard her, when she heard a word that cut through the silence and put her dangling heart back where it should be.

“yes”
