"Hermione—" Lockhart slowed down, "and Ginny, this time I can guarantee that Snape is from our side, and you can trust my judgment once." ”

"Dumbledore also made us trust his judgment!" Hermione argued, "but he was—"

"But he's right," Lockhart said, "The Order of the Phoenix often says that Dumbledore never trusted anyone other than Snape, but I've proven that Snape didn't defect, so don't worry." ”

"How can you rest assured! If you get your ideas wrong, it will kill us all!"

"I have no other way to recover my body. Lockhart had no choice but to say, "Either you just watch me grow old and die as a baby, or believe me to take a risk, this body can't grow up." ”

"Okay. Hermione hesitated for a moment, but finally made a choice, "Ginny, do you have a class in the morning?" ”

"Yes, I'm going to class later. ”

"You take the map with you, be careful, try not to let anyone else see it, and if Snape is alone and there are no other Death Eaters around, you call him over...... Let's just say I need his help. ”

"Okay. Ginny took the map of the living spots, "Then you guys should hide first, I'll go." ”

"Ginny," Lockhart called to her, "come back early, or you can suck some blood on me before leaving, I'm afraid Hermione won't be able to take it......"

"I'm fine!" said Hermione.

"I'll go find Snape right away!" Ginny shuddered and fled out of the Room of Requirement.

――

Hermione approved the Cloak of Invisibility, found a bed that looked like one of Gryffindor's classmates, sat down, and waited nervously.

"Maybe when Snape comes in, I should hide for a while and see how he reacts. Hermione said, "If he can't find us, scold Ginny angrily or ......," she thought. Standing up, he walked over to the portrait, "I opened the portrait and made it look like we had escaped through the tunnel, and—"

"No, Hermione, I trust him. Lockhart said helplessly.

"It's a little bit safe. ”

Hermione was restless and couldn't sit still, touching it here and there, standing up and pacing for a while. After a while, he took out the bottle and asked Lockhart if he was hungry and if he needed some blood......

About two hours later, the door to the room opened, and Hermione stared nervously at the door: Ginny walked in with her neck hunched, and then Snape, dressed in black, and I don't know if he had no other clothes or if all his clothes were like this, and Lockhart had barely seen him in any other way.

Snape walked to the middle of the room with a blank face and looked around.

"So you little things are hiding here, no wonder the Caro brothers and sisters can't find ......," Snape said coldly. "What about others?"

"I—I don't know......," Ginny said nervously, "Hermione, Professor?"

Hermione didn't dare to respond, wanting to see how Snape was doing. But Lockhart took the initiative to speak: "Severus, I'm here. ”

Snape glanced at the source of the sound. Of course, nothing can be seen.

Seeing this, Hermione had no choice but to pull off the invisibility cloak, but she still nervously hugged Lockhart with one hand and protected him sideways. One hand held his wand at Snape.

"Granger, put down your wand. Snape said with his hands down, expressionless. "If I want to deal with Gildero, you can't save him with ten. ”

"Hermione, put down your wand. Lockhart said. "And, Severus...... She is now my wife and no longer has the surname Granger. ”

"Oh yes, I think I heard that Rochenthal guy. Snape saw Lockhart in his infant state and squeezed out a smile that looked like a mockery. "The fool still has a crush on your little wife, and he says that Mrs. Lockhart, though not the most beautiful woman he's ever seen, has a very touching frown......" He looked at Hermione's face, "Tsk, why don't I think so?"

Hermione had been staring at Snape with a frown, and was so embarrassed to hear what the Death Eaters said about herself, she didn't know whether to continue frowning or change her expression, but she still put down her wand.

Snape also put the wand in his sleeve back into his robe and walked over, Hermione unconsciously taking a step back.

"Tsk, anti-dark magic fighter, is this the way to hang now?" The news of Lockhart's death made Snape extremely depressed, although he was relieved to see Lockhart alive at this time, he still couldn't help but taunt a few words, "It seems that you were killed by the Dark Lord himself, and you forced him to hurt a little? In order to save your little wife......?

"Don't ram around, Severus. Lockhart spoke. "Do you know what potion the mystery man used to resurrect, and do you have these materials? ”

"Yes, the Dark Lord has told all the Death Eaters he trusts about the recipe, and told each of us to go and collect at least one in case we need it. "Coincidentally, I've gathered all the materials......

"Give me a body recovery," Lockhart said. "The material cost is mine. ”

"Hehe, how do you calculate the cost of materials, there are a lot of materials that can't be bought on the market......" Snape said unhurriedly, "what do you pay?" ”

"Garon, it's fine to be under a million. Lockhart said.

"What's the use of asking for money!" Snape snorted softly, "and your money is now nominally Barty Jr.'s property, do you understand?"

"Are you a Order of the Phoenix!" Ginny said angrily, "Helping Professor Lockhart still wants something in return!"

"Adults speak, little, don't interject!" Snape turned his head to glare at Ginny, "Gildero, why don't you use the Philosopher's Stone, what are you going to do when you are resurrected, run away with your little wife?"

"The Philosopher's Stone is no longer in my possession...... If I could run, I would have run long ago," Lockhart lay in Hermione's arms, but stared firmly at Snape, "I'll find all the Horcruxes of the mysterious man, and then kill him to avenge Alastor and them." ”

"Very well, your promise is enough. Snape nodded slowly, his eyes swept up and down Hermione's body, revealing a look of disgust: "I'm going to prepare something, and then brew the resurrection potion here—before that, I suggested that this frowning lady Lockhart go take a shower and change her clothes first, she looks so sloppy!"

"I-" Hermione blushed, "no matter how sloppy you are, it's better than washing your hair once a month!"

"Well-who said I wash my hair once a month? Snape said suspiciously, but inadvertently exposed the details, "Who said that, dare to slander me!"

"Severus, don't pursue such frivolous things. Lockhart coughed, which he had made up two years ago when he was writing a novel about the Order of the Phoenix, but it had not yet been published...... Hermione must have seen the manuscript while digging through her bag, and she took it seriously. "Nine times out of ten, some of the students you scolded are just making things up, so hurry up and prepare something. ”

Professor Snape ...... realizing that Snape was really his own, Ginny emboldened, "Why would you want to kill the mystery man, did he do anything to be sorry for you?"

......

"The mystery man killed Severus' favorite woman. Lockhart explained for him.

"Why!" asked Ginny and Hermione, both in surprise, "who?"

"Don't be nosy!" Snape suddenly became furious, "Gildero, if you dare to say a word of nonsense, I can guarantee that you will not be able to have a married life with your little wife after you are resurrected!"

"Okay, well, I won't say more, I promise!" Lockhart hurriedly spoke, even if Snape didn't ask for it, he wouldn't talk nonsense, Snape liked Harry's mother...... It's going to make it difficult for them to get along with in the future. "Come on, Severus, I'll rely on you. ”

Snape glared at him, and angrily exited the Room of Requirement.

――

"He's not going to tell his master. Hermione said worriedly, "Maybe he's embarrassed to turn his face directly with you, or he's afraid you'll have something to do with it......

"Don't think about it, my dear, now, go take a shower. Lockhart comforted softly, "Students and professors can't go to the bathroom, only the prefect's bathroom, and there is usually no one there." ”

"Hmm. ”

"Where's the prefect's bathroom?" said Ginny curiously, "can you show me there, I've never been to it before." ”
