Chapter 943 [Chapter 5] 28
She retracted her right hand into her sleeve, holding the wand in her hand in an instant.But when she saw clearly the black robe billowing violently behind the tall figure, she immediately relaxed the breath she raised, and she even put back the wand, just quietly maintaining the previous half-reclining robe. Sitting against the wall, he didn't bother to strengthen or remove the defensive spell on his body, just staring at the figure quietly.
The man stopped at the end of the alleyway. Due to the effect of the spell on Liu Quan, he didn't notice her for a while.
She thought he was here to clean up the mess, or maybe the Death Eaters had left him to check to see if any Order of the Phoenix had slipped through.She still had confidence in her defensive spell, but he stood like that in the depths of the alley, and under the shadows, the lines of his tensed face looked extraordinarily deep, making it difficult to approach.He looked around cautiously, his wand sticking out of his cuff.Although he saw nothing, he seemed unwilling to give up.
Liu Quan still watched him quietly, and didn't make a sound.
He suddenly twitched his nose, frowned more deeply, and took two steps forward to the corner where she was staying.Then in an instant, the wand protruding from his cuff slid out and into his hand.He pointed his wand straight at the corner where Liu Quan was, and shouted sharply, "Who is it?! Come out!"
Liu Quan couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
How did he see through her disguise spell?
He is so impatient.She just continued to be silent for a minute without responding, and a little red light appeared on the tip of his magic wand, as if he was about to cast an attack spell.
The current headmaster of Hogwarts repeated what he said just now: "Who is it?! Come out immediately!"
Liu Quan looked up at him, sighed, waved his wand slowly, and lifted the invisibility spell and neglect spell on himself.
"Severus."
Severus Snape's figure froze, his eyes widened for a moment as if he couldn't believe it, and the soft and deep velvet voice she was familiar with immediately sounded: "...Bigonia?! "
But he soon noticed that the magic wand held in Liu Quan's right hand hadn't been put away—in fact, Liu Quan didn't have the strength to put it back into his sleeve or pocket—his face became slightly gloomy, He bent down slightly and looked down at her pale complexion, with a smile of unknown meaning on his lips.
"Merlin's glasses, how dare you take the initiative to undo the defensive spell you put on yourself in front of the murderer who killed Dumbledore." He sighed artificially, his voice was as smooth as the best poured from a high place grease. "I guess that old and broken Sorting Hat must have been made of old eyesight and made a mistake. People with your personality should be sorted into Gryffindor."
"I did this because I believed in you, Severus." Liu Quan looked up at his unpredictable expression without flinching, clenched his wand with his right hand, and then used his five fingers that were convulsed due to loss of strength to point one Dot fumbled to slide his wand into his cuff.
Snape's expression twisted momentarily at her answer.He quickly found his usual expression, staring sarcastically at her slow withdrawal of her wand.
"What a touching trust, Bigonia," he said, in a tone like the most beautiful aria, "Dumbledore once trusted me as much, but I killed him in the end- And now you still dare to trust me like this? You are not afraid of you..."
Liu Quan sighed.
Thanks to Merlin, now her face is that of Bigonia Columbine.So can those trusts that she has been unable to express when she was Lily Evans tell him clearly when she was Bigenia?
"Severus, don't be angry." She pressed her hand between her brows wearily, "In this difficult time, apart from trusting each other, I don't know what else we can do to overcome this boundless darkness. Desperation brought on by people—I trust Dumbledore's decision, since he thinks you are trustworthy, then you are. Before he died, he told me that you promised to do everything in your power to protect Hogwarts— — I don't believe a real Death Eater would make that kind of commitment. So can we stop testing each other now? I'm tired, it's not a good time for me to fight tonight, and the Order of the Phoenix is short on manpower right now... ..."
Snape shook slightly.Perhaps he had never heard such frank words; even Bigonia Columbine, who was always frank in front of him, had never expressed her thoughts so frankly.
He was silent for a few seconds, bent down to support her with one hand, hesitated for a moment, put his hand under her armpit, supported her unsteady body, said in a low voice: "Hold on." Then he took her together Apparated.
When Liu Quan landed dizzily, if it wasn't for the big hand still supporting her body, she would have fallen to the ground with a thud.The whirlwind brought by apparation made her feel even more uncomfortable. Her chest was irritated and she wanted to vomit. She coughed violently, but she didn't vomit anything.
Surprisingly, Snape waited patiently for her to regain some strength instead of letting go and throwing her to the ground.After her violent coughing stopped, he helped her to a sofa, pulled out his wand and murmured some spell in a low voice, before letting go and letting her fall heavily into the sofa.
Liu Quan fell headfirst into the soft sofa, but unfortunately this sofa had not been sat on for an unknown period of time, a burst of dust erupted, and she choked and coughed.She had to forcefully turn around and throw a "clean up" on the sofa.
Snape strode back and forth in this room, constantly throwing "clean up" around, causing dust to rise everywhere he passed.He noticed Liu Quan's movements, and without looking back, he just said without sincerity: "Oh, sorry."
Liu Quan sat up straight with difficulty, only to realize that this sofa was the only furniture that could be seen in the room.Aside from the dust that made her cough earlier, this sofa is still brand new. Although the pattern and style of the fabric are very old, it is soft and comfortable to sit on. It is obvious that someone cast the "restore as new" spell on it first.
Liu Quan raised the corners of his lips and said softly, "It's okay. This sofa is very good, very suitable for a wounded person."
Snape clearly didn't appreciate her humor.He snorted coldly, and continued to walk in, not forgetting to order her while walking: "Wait here."
Liu Quan said "OKay" in a low voice, and his figure disappeared.She guessed he must have gone to the cellar.Although it was much more run-down than the last time she had been here, she could still recognize 19 Spinner's End, Snape's home.
He soon came back with a few bottles of potions, Liu Quan took them and drank them silently.Although the taste of these potions made her want to die, she swallowed them reluctantly, and then thanked him with a distorted face.
Snape snorted coldly, sat down on another sofa in front of her that obviously matched the one she was sitting on, but looked much more worn out, stared at her face for a while, and said in a flat tone : "You've obviously been on missions more and more recently. I have to suspect that you probably have nothing else to do, otherwise you wouldn't have so much free time to deal with the Death Eaters."
He was quietly testing her?
Don't think she didn't notice, although she did go out on missions more often than before as he said, but this time today was the first time they met after Dumbledore's death.At first on the battlefield, she had recognized him almost instantly, still wearing the Death Eater's hood and mask; but she hadn't acted rashly.At this time, it is better for them to have as little contact as possible, for the sake of his safety.
Liu Quan's heart moved slightly, he spread his hands and said, "I guess that's because the members of the Order of the Phoenix have almost died."
Snape frowned, and said coldly: "If you don't have that ability, don't rush forward bravely and wait to die."
Liu Quan sighed, ignoring the anger and sarcasm in his tone, and asked not very sincerely: "Severus, why did you appear there again? I thought you left with those people—"
Snape's jaw clenched suddenly, and his eyes were so sharp that he wanted to tear her heart out.He was silent for a moment, and then reluctantly replied: "...I am familiar with that place... I just want to see if there is anyone left to be rescued!"
Suddenly, a small flame flickered violently in Liu Quan's eyes.Then she smiled poisedly and said, "Ah, is that so... I thought I'd thank you for your kindness, Severus."
Snape looked even more uncomfortable.He stood up abruptly, and said impatiently: "...if you have nowhere to go tonight, you can stay here for a while."
Liu Quan continued to smile, and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Oh, of course, thank you for taking me in for a while, Severus."
Snape seemed to hate her repeated thanks, he quickly turned and left the living room without answering her a word.
Liu Quan watched his billowing black robe disappear at the entrance leading to the cellar, and then he leaned back on the back of the sofa without any image, stretched out a hand to press his throbbing temple, boom The roaring mind gradually calmed down in this silence; some thoughts also flooded into my mind again.
Is that street familiar, Severus?
You hate the Muggle world, and you seldom go shopping in the Muggle world; it is even more unlikely that there are any precious potion materials for you to collect on that street... Then, how do you feel familiar with that street and never forget it?
So you haven't forgotten that Christmas Eve either, have you?
...Besides, because you saw that I——and Bignania—were also in the Order of the Phoenix's combat team tonight, you returned there after leaving the battlefield with the Death Eaters, wanting to make sure that Biconia Gonia's safety, isn't it?
Christmas... anyway, is a very wonderful, special praise, special memorable holiday, isn't it?
