Sally opened her eyes, and the first thing that caught her eye as she adjusted to the light was Professor Snape's expressionless expression. Memories suddenly flooded back, and Sally subconsciously closed her eyes again.

"Now that you are awake, open your eyes. Snape said coldly. Sally subconsciously closed her eyes even tighter.

"If you asked me to figure out a way to get you to open your eyes. Snape's tone became more serious, "Then we'll have more to settle later." ”

Sally was extremely complicated and opened her eyes. Snape sat on a stool beside her bed, and when he saw her eyes open, he got up and went to the door to call Madam Pomfrey.

Madam Pomfrey quickly finished examining her, and said to Professor Snape with satisfaction, "Phoenix tears, plus the potion you provided, she recovered quickly, except for some flesh wounds that are difficult to heal, all the toxins have been cleared. ”

Snape nodded at her, and Madam Pomfrey turned to walk out understandingly, and Sally was about to ask her to stay a little longer, when Snape gave her a look and swallowed the words back.

Snape sat back in her seat, and Sally looked at her, the wound on her shoulder was still healed, so she could only smile desperately flatteringly

"I almost burned down the entire wall with a corrosive potion, and if you disobey the professor, do you need me to read the dozens of school rules you violated one by one?"

"I swear. Sally said quickly, "I only used a little bit of corrosive potion. ”

"A drop can corrode a table. Snape said, "If you accidentally get on your body, you will be reduced to a puddle of thick water before I can get there." He still remembers how he felt when he saw the whole wall covered in green pus.

"But I saved Ginny. She suddenly remembered something, "Where's Ginny, how is Harry, is Voldemort dead?"

"Don't call that by that name. Snape said in a low tone. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Dumbledore push the door open and enter.

"Sorry to interrupt your conversation. Headmaster Dumbledore said, "But I'll have to go to the Board meeting in a moment, and if I don't say a few words to Sally now, I'm afraid it will be a few days away." ”

"I'm done, Headmaster. Snape got up, didn't look at Sally, and walked straight out.

"I don't see the joy of the aftermath on your face. Professor Dumbledore sat down in the place Professor Snape had just done and said. "Harry and Ginny, or all of Gryffindor, were celebrating, and I added 200 points each to Harry, Ron and you, but I'm sorry that Slytherin was still over twenty points behind. ”

"Are they all alright?" said Sally, "are they all right?"

"They don't have anything to do, and I'm afraid I won't have time to tell you the details in detail. But don't worry, since you're sober, they'll get the news soon, and they'll tell you in detail when the time comes. The Weasleys are very grateful to you, and if it weren't for your sip of resurrection, I'm afraid Ginny wouldn't have lasted that long. ”

"The rejuvenating water was concocted by Professor Snape. Thinking of Snape, Sally fell into despair again, "He's mad at me, I'm afraid he'll never forgive me again." ”

"Silly boy. Dumbledore smiled. "Do you know who worked the hardest during the half month you were unconscious? It's not Madam Pomfrey, it's Professor Snape, who used all kinds of methods to crack the residual poison of the giant snake on your body, and it was he and Professor Spratt who used all kinds of methods to pull you back from the ghost gate. Of course, Fawkes' tears protect your heart, and I should give it credit. ”

"But as soon as I woke up, he ... Sally remembered Snape's serious face and couldn't help but pout.

"I believe that he is absolutely not as angry with you as he is at himself. Dumbledore said, "Actually, he's always felt that he didn't think highly of you. ”

"Professor Snape has done his best, it's me... It's so disobedient. Sally said.

"It's so weird, you feel it's your responsibility, he thinks it's his responsibility. If you see him sleepless for three days and three nights without even attending classes in front of your hospital bed, you should know that he won't be angry with you. ”

"Listen to what you say. Sally smiled. "I feel a lot more at ease. By the way, you said that I was in a coma for half a month, so the exam...."

"Exams have been cancelled this semester. Dumbledore said. "Actually, you're going to go home the day after tomorrow. ”

"Okay. Sally said. Looking at Dumbledore, he had no intention of leaving. "Perhaps, is there anything else you want to say to me?"

Sally thought about it and realized that everything that should have been said had already been said, had she forgotten what she had said?

"Harry told me what Riddle said to you. Dumbledore said, "By all indications, he does have an interest in you. That's the main reason why I came to you, do you remember a few attacks you encountered last summer?"

Sally nodded, once at the hotel, once at the Leaky Cauldron Bar, she remembered it well.

"It turned out that those men were Voldemort's Death Eaters, the only ones left, one of the few Death Eaters. You see, after Voldemort's defeat, most of the Death Eaters either surrendered to us or were imprisoned in Azkaban. The few Death Eaters who were left were extremely precious to Voldemort. But even so, he used three people to find you, not to kill you, but to find you. This shows that you are extremely useful to him. Dumbledore paused, "So I want you to know the seriousness of the matter, Sally." During the summer I want you to listen to Professor Snape, at least for the next two months, and do what he says, okay?"

"Yes, Headmaster Dumbledore. Sally understood Snape's concern, it turned out that Voldemort had been trying to find her, and this time she was too reckless.

"Well, the time is almost up, and if you don't leave, you'll be late. Dumbledore stood up. "Recuperate, Sally, and we'll see you next term. ”

"Goodbye, Professor Dumbledore. Sally said, thought for a moment and added, "Thank you for the hint." ”

"It's our little secret. Dumbledore winked mischievously and left.

Harry and the Weasley family felt the first thing about her bed, and Mrs. Weasley was crying.

"What do I have to repay you, Sally, for saving Ginny's life. ”

"Perhaps. Sally thought for a moment, pretending to be serious. "The next time you mail me a Christmas cake, you can give me something bigger, bigger than Fred George's combined. ”

"No problem, no problem, what a good boy. Mrs. Weasley cried, and Mr. Weasley kindly helped her out, and Fred George and Percy said a few words and left. Harry, Ron, and Ginny were left to tell Sally what had happened.

Ginny couldn't stop crying when she finished speaking, and Ron took her out. Only Sally and Harry were left in the ward.

"It seems like at the end of every semester, we have to see each other in the ward. Sally said humorously. "Can't you change places?"

Harry wasn't in the mood for the slightest joke. He hesitated for a long time, as if he was considering how to speak.

"If you're obsessed with it until now for me pushing you in the Chamber of Secrets. Sally said. "Then I'll look down on you too much. ”

"You almost died. Harry said, "Professor Snape said, even if it's a minute late, you'll have no way back. If you do die, then it's all my fault. ”

"But I'm not missing that minute. Sally said. "And it's not your fault, Harry, if I were standing there and facing that situation, would you have made the same choice?"

"I don't know. Harry said, "I... ”

"You will. Sally said categorically, "When facing Riddle, you subconsciously blocked me from behind, doesn't that mean everything?"

"But... ”

"No, but. Sally said solemnly, and the next second she laughed again. "We are brother and sister, isn't it normal to do this kind of thing? I think my mother didn't hesitate at all when she stopped in front of you and saved your life. ”

"If. Harry said, "No, no, I won't put you in danger again, even if it's a potential danger." ”

"Good. Sally reluctantly said, "Actually, you're only a few minutes older than me, Harry." ”

"That's big, too, and besides, shouldn't you call me brother?"

"Yes, brother. ”

With Madam Pomfrey in her care, Sally's shoulder healed that night. She returned to the Slytherin common room, where people kept coming to ask her what had happened. As far as she knew, many of the parents of students in Slytherin were Death Eaters, or former Death Eaters. So she didn't say that much, only that she fainted.

Malfoy's attitude towards her was much colder, partly because she was obsessed with studying this semester and did not spend as much time with him as she had in the previous academic year. On the other hand, the opening of the secret room made him feel inexplicably betrayed by Sally. He also knew that this feeling was very unreasonable, but he just couldn't control himself, and his father was removed from the board of directors, which made his bad mood even worse.

In fact, they didn't talk much either, and the next day they left the school on the express train. In the cubicle, Harry kept telling Sally that she wasn't going back to privet with him. Hermione and Ron both sent her an invitation, agreeing that she would go back to see them if she had the chance, but she was going back to the orphanage. She didn't say that Snape was her godfather, perhaps because she didn't know how to speak, especially Harry, who would have broken down if he had known that Snape was her godfather.

Seeing that the students at the station were all taken away, she was the last to get off the train with a salute, and at the place where Professor Snape had last put her on the train, she was not surprised to see Snape leaning against a pillar.

He took Sally's salute and prepared to leave without saying a word. Sally stood still, refusing to move.

"If you're still mad at me. Sally said aggrievedly, "I'll go and find Aunt Harry's family before they go far." ”

Snape finally sighed as he looked at the aggrieved pouting man in front of him.

"Gone, home. ”

The two disappeared into thin air. Sally knew that Professor Snape was no longer angry, and that she would have a good time this summer.
