Chapter 185 Night
On the weekend, Snape, who originally planned to stay at Hogwarts, suddenly received a message from Alice, but when he came back, he found that the house was completely dark.
Snape saw Alice sitting in the middle of the living room at a glance, and Snape sighed helplessly: "Are you drinking again?"
Alice, who was in a daze, came back to her senses. She waved her wand and lit the fireplace. The jumping firelight reflected on the wall of the glass, making the whiskey in it very attractive.
"It's only the end of October," Snape reminded.
There was only a shallow layer of wine left in the glass, and Alice filled it up again: "I just think the fireplace and wine are more suitable."
Her speaking speed was slower than usual, and her tone of voice rose at the end of the sentence, obviously she was already half drunk.
"Should I compliment you on the quality of your wine?" Snape approached, and sure enough, he saw the half-empty wine bottle on the table, "I'm afraid I have to consider locking the wine cabinet."
"Report! It should be a spell, we are wizards!" Alice held up her right hand, "But I can break the spell if you cast it."
Under Alice's regretful eyes, Snape used the Levitation Charm to remove the bottle: "No, you can't."
"Why are you so sure?" Alice patted her chest unconvinced, "Who am I? I'm Alice Hall, a business tycoon, the youngest herbalist, and the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. Psychological counselor and employment guidance, can't even open a wine cabinet?"
"I found that your articulation becomes more articulate when you're drunk." Hearing Alice's non-stop words, Snape raised his eyebrows.
Her vision was a little blurry, Alice shook her head: "Don't change the subject, how can I not even open a wine cabinet?"
"IQ doesn't seem to be affected either," Snape said. "Are you sure you understand all spells, including the Dark Arts and my own creations?"
Alice was stunned for a while, then repeated blankly: "Magic created by myself, oh yes, I saw it in your Potions Notebook."
Hearing this, Snape was a little proud, and added: "That's just some of my thoughts when I was young, and there are still many shortcomings."
Nodding perfunctorily, Alice stretched out her hand to the glass on the table, which was still full of whiskey.
Covering the cup directly, Snape asked, "So what's the matter you're looking for me?"
With such an interruption, Alice completely forgot about drinking.She patted her head and said: "Look at my memory, the spy found it, it was Draco, he found Harry himself and confessed."
After a long time of no response, she looked over and found that Snape's expression was very complicated.Half clear, half puzzled, and a little shocked?
"I'm not so drunk, am I?" Alice rubbed her eyes, "Why is your expression so strange?"
Snape quickly suppressed the emotions in his heart, and explained calmly: "I do guess that the mysterious man will find a student to be a spy, and the student is likely to be Slytherin. But I didn't expect that he really found a student."
"Don't you think that's contradictory?" Alice asked.
"I thought he wouldn't look for students at school. After all, there are very few people who joined the Death Eaters when they were students," Snape said after a sudden pause. "Did Draco join the Death Eaters?"
"Oh, I didn't ask about that. I'll go to Harry tomorrow and ask him to ask again. Maybe it's a sympathy between rivals? I always feel that Draco is more willing to confess to Harry." Alice said inquiringly.It's a pity that over the years, she only has a few friends and enemies that she keeps in touch with, and there is no such interesting rival.
"You find it funny? Neither Potter nor Draco, I'm afraid," said Snape sarcastically.Even with Lucius' request and Alice's help, the relationship between Draco and Potter has improved, but that's all.If given the chance, the possibility of a duel between them is still very high.
"If I were Harry, Draco would have been beaten to the ground by me!" Alice lifted her chin imitating Draco's appearance, "No one dared to mess with me since I was a student! Isn't it fun enough to defeat the enemy? ?”
Snape didn't know what to think of, and even smiled: "It's really interesting."
But he immediately added: "Draco took the initiative to confess to Potter, probably because he thought he was easy to deceive. I don't think Draco confessed everything like us."
"Slytherin—" Alice said in a drawn-out tone, before falling on the sofa, "what do you think of us telling his dad?"
"Lucius?" Snape frowned and thought for a while, and found that this was really feasible.With Lucius' temperament, knowing that his son was "suspected" to join the Death Eaters, Draco would definitely be scared to tell the whole truth.After all, if even Malfoy's next heir joins the Death Eaters, then there is really no way for their family to retreat.
"Didn't he talk about telling Dad when he was in the lower grades? Although I corrected it later under my guidance," Alice thought about the big Malfoy's reaction, and couldn't help laughing, "Draco really needs it now. He was taught a lesson, and it was just right to hand it over to his father."
Seeing that Snape didn't refute, Alice stood up happily, intending to swig the whiskey she had forgotten.It was the movement of her getting up that made Snape see the amber necklace dangling out of her clothes.
"What's the matter?" Snape asked while stopping Alice from taking the wine, pointing to the necklace on her chest.
Alice also felt a little aggrieved after being blocked repeatedly, she grabbed the necklace and said, "Vladimir sent it, saying that the research has improved, and now I will not be affected anymore. And there is a certain probability that I can Unilateral perception of the presence of Voldemort or something."
"What else?" Snape asked.
"He didn't elaborate, maybe the Horcrux." Alice tugged at the necklace on her chest irritably, pointed to the wine on the table and asked, "Why don't you let me drink it?"
Snape's attitude did not waver at all: "First of all, you are drunk, and second, why do you have to drink? It can't be because of Draco, right?"
After a moment of silence, Alice asked, "Do you know when Voldemort plans to attack Hogwarts?"
"Soon, I think it will be this term," Snape replied.
Alice tilted her head and looked at Snape for a long time, then said, "You are very calm, more calm than I imagined."
Seeing Snape's puzzled expression, she smiled: "I have told many people that I have the qualifications of a psychological counselor. I may know you better than you think. What you are most worried about right now is Hogg The safety of Watts students, the least of my worries is my own safety."
Snape wanted to speak when he heard this, but was interrupted by Alice: "It's okay, because I am the same. In addition to ensuring the safety of Hogwarts students and the safety of those innocent people, I also want Voldemort to die."
"I think this matter can be discussed next time." Snape finally found a chance to speak, seeing that Alice seemed to be getting more and more drunk, he planned to end today's topic directly.
Alice didn't seem to hear Snape's words, and said to herself: "It's been so long, it seems that the furball really won't come back. It said in the letter that life is constantly meeting, parting and meeting." .”
This time Snape didn't interrupt, just listened quietly.
"I thought I would think about it, but now it seems that I don't. I can accept my possible death, but I can't accept the departure of people around me. So in the final analysis, from the time I was a student to the present, I have always A selfish person who only cares about his own feelings."
Snape's eyes flickered, "I'm not leaving."
"It's not up to you, or it's not up to you now," Alice shook her head firmly, "Everyone's choice at each stage is different, maybe your current choice is just a spur of the moment I have always believed that death requires more courage than living, because choosing death means giving up friends, relatives, lovers and all the good things in life. But if you really choose to die, there must be someone more courageous than the above. important reason."
She finally stood up and made a summary: "It means that whether to leave or stay, whether to die or live, is a personal choice, and it is a choice that one does not know until the last moment. So although I cannot accept others choices, but will still support them because I know I can't empathize with the reasons for their choices."
"...you're thinking too much," Snape said, "I said I wouldn't leave."
"Don't be sentimental!" cried Alice suddenly. "I'm not just talking about you."
Snape was taken aback for a moment, and then saw Alice swaying twice, as if she was about to fall down in the next second.
Hugging Alice quickly, he said helplessly, "You're already so drunk, go to sleep, you have class tomorrow."
Alice stubbornly broke free, and said unyieldingly: "With that little salary, I still have to teach seven grades! That's seven grades!"
Helping Alice to prevent her from falling, Snape said, "Let me explain that the dean's salary is not much higher than that of ordinary professors."
"I knew it earlier." Alice murmured, and was about to lean towards the table.
"You must drink this glass of wine?" Snape asked.
Alice's hand had already touched the wall of the cup: "It can't be wasted."
Nodding, Snape took the glass and drank it down.
"I finally know why you are so drunk," he said in disbelief. "You even added vodka to it? You insisted on drinking it because you were afraid I would find out?"
"A small attempt by a novice bartender." Alice said guiltily.She dared not say that she was inspired by Gavin, since she drank vodka with Gavin last time, she has been wanting to try again.
It took a long time to suppress his anger, and Snape said, "Can you go to bed now?"
Alice nodded obediently. Anyway, the matter has been revealed, so there is no point in holding on.However, although it is a foregone conclusion that she will be settled by Qiuhou, she still wants to find her place again.
When she walked to a room on the second floor, she stopped suddenly: "May I visit your room?"
Snape took a deep look at Alice: "Are you sure you want to visit my room in the middle of the night after drinking?"
"Is there a problem?" Alice asked innocently, blinking.
"No." Snape still looked at Alice, but opened the door with his right hand, "Please, Miss Hall."
This time it was Alice's turn to be coaxed. She took a few steps back and said weakly: "I thought about it carefully. It's really not good to visit the room when both parties have drunk strong alcohol. And I did a big cleaning a few days ago. I’ve seen it all the time, and it’s nothing to look at.”
"Really?" Snape had already stood in the room at some point, "Unfortunately, I just changed the layout of the room yesterday."
It could not be more obvious than the hint, maybe whiskey and vodka are too intoxicating, and by the time Alice realized it, one of her feet had already stepped into the room.
They are all adults, so it is obviously inappropriate to quit now.But she still said: "Tomorrow is Monday."
"There is only one sixth-grade class, and I can take it for you."
Alice watched Snape close the door, and asked again; "Are you sure you're not drunk?"
"Just a glass of wine."
Forget it, enjoy yourself in time, anyway, you may not be able to live long.Feeling the warmth of Snape's hand, Alice relaxed her body and fell down on the bed in a rare meekness.
"I've been waiting for you to make a choice," Alice said, looking at the dark ceiling, "at least at this moment you did make a choice."
Even the sheets seemed to smell of bitter potions, she thought.Then came Snape's slightly forbearing voice: "I won't leave."

The author has something to say:
The following content jj is not allowed to write, it is a pity that I have so many outrageous inspirations.
[My suggestion is to read the next chapters. 】Because it is coming to an end, I want to increase the emotional line while the plot progresses, that is, sprinkle sugar.
In addition, the first copy of the next HP is put in a column.It was supposed to be posted a long time ago, but I forgot. (The copywriting is very unserious, but the content should probably be a little more serious. The overall style refers to this book, but it is more nonsensical)
