It was that familiar feeling again, just like the last time her soul was separated from her body, only this time she felt that her soul was more like a forced separation, as if her body was imprisoned in cold water, and a pair of hands slowly pulled her soul out of her body, accompanied by a piercing chill.

"Divine Guard!" A familiar voice sounded, and then a silver deer appeared in front of Sally, it crashed into the two humanoid creatures, and the two men were forced back by it, but it clearly had no intention of leaving. Sally heard Snape's voice "Sally, Sally, look at me, can you see me?"

Then the silver glow of the deer, Sally could see Professor Snape's face filled with anxiety, and she nodded reluctantly. Snape was relieved to pick up Sally, and under the cover of the deer, he left the carriage.

Sally still had a glimmer of consciousness, and this time she could at least barely control some of her movements compared to the last time she couldn't move. As Snape took her away from the train farther and farther away, Sally felt the initiative in her body return to her body little by little.

"Professor... She spoke, and as the first note came out, she felt much more fluent.

"It's coming soon. Snape said, "Out of the train, we'll move to the gates of Hogwarts, and Madam Pomfrey will heal you." ”

"I'm fine. Sally said pertinently, realizing that she was now lying in Professor Snape's arms, and her face suddenly felt like it was on fire.

Snape ignored her as he took a stand in an open space, and soon the two of them arrived at the door of Hogwarts.

Before the students arrived, Snape took Sally straight to the infirmary. Madam Pomfrey was visibly taken aback, and when she learned that it was a Dementor, she said dissatisfiedly, "The school is full of Dementors, I really don't understand what the Ministry of Magic thinks." ”

Just after Madam Pomfrey had given her a full physical examination, announced that she was fine except for a little weaker, and gave her a large piece of chocolate, Sally asked Professor Snape to attend the opening ceremony.

"Go back to the dormitory. Snape said forcefully, "Go and rest." ”

No matter how much Sally insisted that she was okay now, Snape was still tough, and after watching Sally finish a few pieces of pumpkin pie, he personally dropped her off at the door of the dormitory, watched her in, and then left.

"I already participated in the previous year anyway. Sally soothed herself. She thought that when Parkinson's came back in a while, she would find that she had not made it to the opening ceremony, and would ask questions. Decide to do nothing and sleep!

After the opening ceremony、Principal's office。

"Now you can speak, Severus. Dumbledore sat behind his desk, and it was just him and Snape in the office.

"The Dementors are going to take Sally's soul. Snape said, and he shuddered at the thought of the image. "I saw it with my own eyes, it separated Sally's soul from her body, forcibly separated. ”

"Are you sure?" Professor Dumbledore asked, his face no longer with the loving smile he had before, but with solemnity, "You need to know the seriousness of this matter, the Dementors are behind it, but the Ministry of Magic. ”

"I can vouch for it in my name. Snape said, "I've seen Sally's spirit, and I can't think of anything else about that image other than that." ”

"I'll do this with the Ministry of Magic, I trust you, Severus, but we'll have to find at least those two Dementors so we can speak to the officials. Dumbledore realized the seriousness of the matter.

"But before that?" said Snape, "the Dementors are just outside the schoolyard, and the two, or more, may come in at any time, and I can save her once, but I can't keep her with me all the time." ”

"Perhaps, you already have a better suggestion. Dumbledore's expression softened. "Let's talk about it. ”

"Lotcheurus officially extended an exchange invitation to Sally during the summer, and James Harden was willing to keep Sally safe during this time. Snape said bluntly, "I think Sally should go." ”

"I don't have any problem with that. Especially the guarantee and invitation made by James himself. Dumbledore said, "I won't hesitate to come to me and ask me to sign it." ”

At this point, Dumbledore suddenly said, "Since you have defeated the Dementors, then, your Patronus... ”

"I'm sure no one saw it. Snape knew what Dumbledore meant. "It's just me and Sally in the compartment, and I'll tell Sally not to talk out, and the Dementors, if it can talk. ”

On the second day, Sally found her class schedule for this semester on her bedside, she had only taken the Conservation of Magical Beasts class, so she would have a much easier year, for example, this morning, she didn't have a class.

She got up and went to the Great Hall for breakfast, because Pansy and Malfoy arrived a little later than she and sat across from her, so she didn't really eat anything for breakfast.

She was about to go to the library after dinner when she met a Slytherin student with a message to take her to Professor Snape's office.

Sally went to Snape's office, and when she entered, she found that Snape was not reading a book or doing experiments as usual, but was sitting there with a chair in front of him.

Snape motioned for Sally to sit in the chair, and Sally was flattered and reflexively pressed it to make sure there was nothing wrong with the chair before sitting down.

"Potter. Snape was interrupted by Sally.

"You'd better call me Sally. Sally shuddered, "I'm scared of you. ”

Snape took a deep breath and held back his anger, "I want to check on your Patronus. ”

"Here?" said Sally, surprised.

"Lack of space?" Snape raised an eyebrow, "Could it be that your Patronus is a dinosaur?"

“。。。 Not really. Sally said, glancing at Snape's serious expression and realizing he meant it. She had no choice but to get up, reminiscing about the days she had traveled with Professor Snape in Thailand.

"Divine Guard!" As the silver mist floated out in front of Sally's wand, a tall horse gradually formed, and it gently rubbed Sally's hair before disappearing.

"That's it. Sally said. "Are you still satisfied?"

"Do you know what my Patronus is?" asked Snape.

"That night, I wanted to see a deer coming. Sally recalled.

"Very well, I'm going to make you forget about the fact that my Patronus is a deer. Snape said, "If you can't, I've got a ready amount of Forgotten Water here." ”

"I can forget. Sally hurriedly said, "But why... ”

"Because I don't want anyone else to know. Snape grimaced, the orange-yellow amnesia swaying in his hand.

"Got it, got it. Sally said, "That's it." ”

"One more thing. Snape said, "When are you going to go to Legi Urus?"

"How do you ... She smiled halfway through her sentence and said, "James must have told you." Don't worry, I don't plan to go, I want to stay at Hogwarts. ”

"I want you to go. Snape interrupted. "And it's best if you and Professor Harden leave within this week, the tentative exchange time is two years, I have already discussed it with Professor Dumbledore in advance, you fill in your relevant information and give it to me, and after I sign it, you will take it to Professor Dumbledore. You don't have to go to class here, if it's fast, you can leave by Friday... What are you laughing at?"

Snape noticed that Sally was looking at him with a smile he couldn't describe, a smile that was so bright that Snape read despair, pain, and grief in it.

"You're finally disgusted with me. Sally said, "I'm clumsy, not only can't cook and do housework, but I can't protect myself, every danger depends on you to get out, I know there will be such a day." ”

"That's not what I meant... Snape obviously didn't expect Sally to think like this, and for a moment he was a little at a loss.

"I'm not leaving Hogwarts, it's my school. But I won't pester you anymore, and I won't bother you when Harry and I go to Aunt Penny's next summer. With that, Sally got up and strode out of the office. Snape was left alone, his mind blank.
