"Sally, are you really leaving?" On the edge of the docks, Hoyt and James were there, and they had come to see Sally off.

"I've been dragging my feet for a month, Hoyt, because someone has asked me to revise my book on magic medicine over and over again. Sally gave a white look at the hippie-smiling James. "But don't worry, once I'm outside, the first thing I'll do is find a way to get the werewolf's saliva and blood, and give it to James, believing that the slowest is the slowest, and we can spend Christmas outside together. ”

"Well, that's kind of giving me hope. Hoyt said, "Have a safe journey." ”

"Take good care of yourself. The two hugged, and Sally hugged James as well, "Help me say hello to Severus." "I will. ”

Boarding the boat, she ended her studies in Lechurus and returned to a world full of opportunities, dangers and challenges as she slowly lowered the boat to the bottom.

As for what to do first thing there, she had already thought very clearly.

When I arrived at Hogwarts, because of the Goblet of Fire, the students had a holiday two or three days earlier than usual, and when Sally arrived, the train also left Hogwarts, so Sally didn't see Harry, so she had to say no regrets. But now that she could use magic outside of school, it wouldn't be too hard to find Harry. She decided to get down to business first, so the top priority was to go to Professor Snape~

Unfortunately, the Potions office was empty, and Sally guessed that maybe he was going to see the students off, after all, he was the head of Slytherin, so she went to Dumbledore first?

Luckily, there was someone in Dumbledore's office, and she heard the familiar and confident voice say, "Who?"

"It's me, Sally, Professor Dumbledore. Sally said. A moment after she finished speaking, the stone door slowly opened, and she walked inside.

"You're back, Sally, a little sooner than I thought, did you graduate?" Dumbledore said.

"There's no such thing as graduation, Professor. I did come back early, though. Sally laughed.

"You're right, then you're coming to me now, did you tell me or something else?"

"One more thing, sir. Sally's expression was serious. "I want to join the Order of the Phoenix. ”

The air fell silent, and Dumbledore's expression became serious.

"Where did you hear that name. ”

"Professor Snape told me. Sally said, in fact, she had found it from Professor Snape's meditation basin.

"I want to hear the truth. ”

“。。。 Okay, but you have to keep it a secret. So Sally selectively told Dumbledore about something she had accidentally seen in Professor Snape's meditation basin.

"This reason is acceptable, but Sally, since you already have a preliminary understanding of the Order of the Phoenix, then you should know that the Order of the Phoenix only admits adults, oh, I know that you have passed the NEWTS, and you know that many advanced spells, but this is not enough, you know that you can't enter the Order of the Phoenix just because you are underage and can't perform spells outside of school. Dumbledore said.

"That's not a problem. Sally pulled out the Einsatzgruppen credentials from her bracelet, "With this, I can perform magic outside of school, and I can do it openly." ”

"Can I take a look?" said Dumbledore, Sally nodded, and as soon as she let go of her hand, she flew into Dumbledore's hand, and after he looked at it carefully, he said, "It's true, but in this case, there is another problem." Child, a more serious question. ”

He paused, and looked at Sally with a serious expression, "Do you belong to the Ministry of Magic or the Order of the Phoenix, if there is a conflict between the two orders." ”

Sally was stunned for a moment, in her acquaintance, these two organizations were enemies of Voldemort, and it stands to reason that they should be on the same front.

"Maybe you don't know the situation yet. Dumbledore handed the papers back to Sally, fingers crossed in both hands. "Just a few days ago, at the final level of the Goblet of Fire, your brother Harry witnessed Voldemort's resurrection. Yes, Sally, Harry is on the scene, don't be nervous, he's outstanding, he's not injured, you can ask him about the situation. The problem is, after we reported the news to the Ministry of Magic, the Minister was reluctant to believe it. Yes, self-deception, then that's the problem, because we all believe that Voldemort has returned, so we will definitely take measures, and the Ministry of Magic will definitely prevent us from doing these things in order to spread all the illusion of peace. Well, during the time when Voldemort appeared in front of everyone, although I believe it would not be a long time, we did have some contradictions with the Ministry of Magic. After he said this simply and clearly, he looked at Sally, "At this time, you belong to that side." ”

Sally looked at the ID in her hand, she only hesitated for a few seconds, then raised her head, smiled and said, "Headmaster, the situation you said is so complicated, I dare not say that I can understand who is right and who is wrong, but there is one thing. She paused, then smiled even more, "I'll always be with Severus, and if he chooses the Order of the Phoenix, then don't doubt my loyalty." ”

"Oh, I hadn't thought of that answer. Dumbledore said, his expression softening. "It seems that Severus, the godfather, is very competent. ”

"Forget it, Professor. You already knew that, didn't you?" Sally waved her hand and said disdainfully, "At the ball, if you look at my expression, I know that even if others don't know, you've already got seven points in your heart." ”

"It's just seven points, kid, I don't dare to say that I am sure of this matter without a judgment of nine points. Dumbledore had a smile on his face, but his tone was serious, "So, you like Severus." ”

Sally played with the wand in her hand, and with a flick of it, a silver deer ran out and disappeared after Dumbledore ran around with astonishment and grace.

"My Patronus was originally a horse, I believe you know. Sally shrugged at Dumbledore's surprised expression, "So, you said I liked Severus, no, sir, it was love." I knew I was in love with Severus when I found out that my Patronus had become a deer a year ago. ”

"But... Dumbledore softened and said.

"I know that age, status, identity, whatever is the reason why we can't be together, but sir, love is love, and I spent a year trying to kill this wrong emotion, useless, useless sir. I also know that he loves my mother deeply, just as I love him, and maybe, I am here to pay off this love debt for my mother. Sally still had a smile on her face and a relaxed tone, but Dumbledore could hear the desperation in her words.

"Love is not wrong. Dumbledore said, "Child, no love, as long as it is sincere, is not wrong. ”

"Thank you, sir. Sally said, "I don't plan to let anyone know about this relationship, as long as I can be around him, I am very happy, even if I have been using the status of a student or even an adopted son, I am very content." That's all I want. ”

"If I'm rejecting you, then I'm being too unkind. Dumbledore said. After a moment he sighed. "I allow you to join the Order of the Phoenix, and Severus will take you to our headquarters. ”

"Thank you sir. Sally got up, "Anyway, I didn't see Professor Snape in the Potions office just now. Do you know where he went?"

"Ah, maybe I'm going to drop off the students, you can wait a little bit in his office. Dumbledore's tone was a little unnatural, but Sally didn't care, nodded goodbye and left.

As the stone door slowly opened and closed, the bookcase in the principal's office slowly opened.

At Hogwarts, it's not just the Potions Office that has a dark room.

Sally didn't think Snape would be back so soon, so she went back to the bedroom and cleaned up her salute. She waited until she had cleaned up before returning to the Potions office, this time luckily, Professor Snape was inside.

"surprise~" Sally said, successfully attracting Professor Snape, who was looking down at the book. "I'm back! why don't you look surprised?"

"Dumbledore has told me. Snape turned, "So, you saw my meditation basin?"

Tsk, why did Dumbledore tell Professor Snape everything. Sally secretly reproached Dumbledore in her heart, and then put on a flattering smile, "Sir, I didn't mean to, and I only looked at a little, a very small one." ”

Snape looked at her, and Sally was ready to be criticized, only to hear "No next time." ”

Of course, sir, there is no next time. Sally immediately laughed. "Now that you've met Professor Dumbledore, when are we going to the Order of the Phoenix?"

"Excited? huh?" Professor Snape got up and began to salute.

"It's not exciting. Sally said, "It's just that I have some things I want to see Professor Lupin. ”

When Sally returned for Christmas, she heard about Lupin and Sirius.

"Lupin?" Snape asked, confused, "what are you looking for him?"

"Uh... Sally hesitated, "Perhaps, something you need him to help with?"
