There is an area in the Atlantic Ocean that is surrounded by thick fog all year round and is known as the Devil, which is something that everyone on the nearby land knows. Countless people want to challenge this place and discover its secrets, but often they are either unaccounted for or discovered in an incredible place years later. When the ship arrives, the wreckage can only be found in the nearby waters, and if the plane passes by below 10,000 meters, it will disappear from the course forever.

For hundreds of years, without exception.

"You're a lot quicker than I thought, Sally. James said happily in a gray wizard's robe.

"Plans don't always keep up with change. Sally looked at the sea creatures around her, nothing like what she had seen in the Slytherin lounge, more varied and strange. Yes, the only way to reach Lechurus, the legendary Devil's Sea, is to take this boat specially designed to transport students and teachers, and dive to a distance of four or five hundred meters.

"You've changed a lot. James was keenly aware of Sally's point.

"Really?" said Sally. "Perhaps. Even though it's been four days, her mind is still full of what she's seen.

"It's not a good sign. "James wasn't very happy. "Your mind is occupied with something unimportant, which won't do you any good in your future studies. You know, what you originally intended was to be two years has now been cut in half. ”

"Don't worry. Sally withdrew her gaze and smiled at the corners of her mouth, "These memories only make me work harder to become stronger." ”

James didn't speak, looking at Sally. After a long time, that bright smile bloomed on his face again.

"It's the best. ”

Three months later ...

"Sally, Sally, wait for me. A boy with skin as white as snow, red lips and white teeth, holding a large stack of books, tried to catch up with the red-haired girl walking briskly in front of him, his long golden hair was waist-length, and was blown away by the wind as he trotted, revealing his pointed ears.

Hoyt, a hybrid of elves and humans.

"If you're so slow, don't be in a group with me. Sally said this for the Nth time, a month ago, when they were studying the Dangerous Animals course, they needed to be divided into two groups, and James forced Hoyt and her to be assigned to a group, and explained that any course experiment must be done together.

Hoyt finally caught up with Sally out of breath, he put one hand on Sally's shoulder, gasped and said, "That's not good, we're partners, how can we give up our partners so easily." ”

Sally couldn't help but roll her eyes, a month of getting along with her made her clearly understand the pestering nature of this guy. He took his arm off his shoulder, and walked forward on his own, ignoring his wailing.

Three months of study made her understand the rules of this school, it does not teach you to be a person, it does not teach you anything, from 7 o'clock in the morning to 12 o'clock in the afternoon, from 2 o'clock in the afternoon to 6 o'clock in the evening, from 7 o'clock in the evening to 12 o'clock in the night are arranged to be full of study, even so, after 12 o'clock, you can also see many students in the library, or young, or old, there are professors on duty 24 hours a day in the library, to deal with any problems at any time.

Sally seemed to like to sleep, but every time she closed her eyes since she saw them, what came to her eyes was what she had seen with Snape, over and over again, lest she forget, and it looped before her eyes. She could only sleep on and off for two or three hours a day, and her body should have collapsed long ago. But staying up all night seems to be a normal thing here, and sleepless liquid can allow you to minimize the harm of not sleeping to your body.

Sally had completed all of the OWLS courses in a month and passed the exams, and now she is aiming to get at least two O's in the NEWTS exam after Christmas.

"What do you think?" Hoyt's words pulled her out of her runaway.

"It has nothing to do with you. Sally said, looking down at her book. After the NEWTS exam, it will be followed by the Animagus and the Phantom Shifter exam, and if she can't pass it, when she leaves here, she will have to wait until she is an adult to use it.

"I don't understand why you're fighting so hard. Hoyt said. "I always thought that I could get NEWTS fast enough in half a year, but I didn't expect you to get it in five months. ”

"The Academy's fastest record is less than four months away. Sally said.

"That's right. Hoyt agreed, "Genius and freak, no one can tell if it's more powerful, by the way, when are we going to practice Occlumency? I remember there was one item in the NEWTS exam." ”

Sally's hand as she flipped through the book paused slightly, she didn't want anyone to invade her brain now, because she didn't have to think about it to know what was going on there.

"Let's talk about it. ”

"It's a must-have for the exam," Hoyt said incredulously.

"I know. Sally said impatiently.

"Okay, well, I don't know where you put so much thought into it at such a young age. I've lived decades less than you think. Hoyt complained as if it were true or false.

"If you don't keep your mouth shut. Sally pulled out her wand and pointed it at Hoyt. "I wouldn't mind experimenting with my newly-invented little spell on you. ”

Hoyt made a zipper motion with his hand on his mouth, lowered his head and went on to finish his homework.

After class at night, it was already twelve o'clock. She went to James's office, and sure enough, she saw that he hadn't slept yet.

"Haven't you given up yet?" James was not surprised to see Sally, who had come here every night for half a month to borrow his meditation basin.

"I had to figure out how to sort through these memories. Sally placed her textbook on the table next to her and walked straight to the meditation basin.

"Good luck. James said. Sally used her wand to pull a silvery memory out of her head and toss it into the basin, then sank her face.

She saw Snape's memories of when she was a child before she entered Hogwarts and her mom Lily, and their story at Hogwarts, and as they graduated, Sally felt her breath heavi.

"Take care of Sally. Lupin. "The brunette man, who was supposed to be her father, gave her as a baby to the man named Lupin.

"But... Lupin looked at the girl in his arms with her eyes closed and breathing steadily, and said, "Where are you going to put her, you know, I... ”

"Anywhere. Jaime said. "Don't let her be in front of us. ”

"Is there really no way?" said Lupin reluctantly.

"I'd really like to find a way, Lupin, but I don't have the time right now. I've spent two months taking her to all the famous doctors and even witches I know, but no one can explain her state, like a dead person, and yet her vital signs are normal. Jaime looked like he was about to break down, "Lily can't stand the torture, and neither can I." We didn't have the time and experience to take care of her and sending her away was the best option. ”

"If you don't regret it. Lupin understands the pressure his friend is under in an age where no one can say he'll die in the next moment. She picked up Sally. "Then I'll find a place to put her. ”

"Thank you. With that, Jaime snapped and vanished.

She saw how much Snape liked Lily, and she knew why Snape wouldn't let her say that his Patronus was a deer, because it was her mother's Patronus, and when she saw Snape summon the Patronus again, she finally couldn't help but lift her head out of the meditation basin.

She sat on the ground, gasping for air. Covered in cold sweat, James thoughtfully handed her a handkerchief.

"Failed, right?"

Sally wiped away the sweat that might not have existed on her face, steadied her breathing, and said, "I think, yes." ”

James thoughtfully handed Sally the prepared hot cocoa, who drank it slowly and felt much better.

"I'm going to try again. She stood up. James interrupted her, "If you don't know what the problem is, then it doesn't matter how many times you try." ”

He picked up another glass of cocoa and took a small sip of it elegantly. "So, aren't you going to admit what I told you?"

James was with Sally the second time he witnessed her memories.

There was silence in the room. "Perhaps, I was just because my father abandoned me... ”

"Don't be stupid, kid. James couldn't help but interrupt her and said, "That's not what you care about at all, I can see it very clearly next to you, and I'm fifty-six years old, and I'm confident I know more about it than you do." You can understand the choices your father made in the context of that era, so your father is not the main reason, admit it, although I think it's incredible, but you do like Severus, maybe, I can use the word love?"

He took another sip of cocoa and said, "Your IQ is far superior to that of your peers, so on the other hand, I won't be surprised at all that you are precocious, but I can't understand why you spend so much effort to deceive yourself and don't want to admit this obvious fact, you must know that it is much more difficult to deceive yourself than it is for you to deceive others, I suggest that you don't try again, you might as well think about how to face this feeling, it may be much easier." ”

He got up and left the room, leaving all the space for Sally.
