Chapter 944 [Chapter 5] 29
Although she was extremely exhausted both physically and mentally, and the high fever seemed to be still tormenting her—the potion Snape gave her just now did not cure her cold, maybe he was only concerned with the exhaustion of her magic, mental and physical strength ?Or maybe he didn't have ready-made potions for colds at home? ——but she still wanted to wave her magic wand and let the Christmas song in her memory float in this dark, dilapidated and dusty house.

But she dared not do it.
Because once she did this, he would immediately realize that Bigonia was the Lily Evans who tricked him into dancing with the horn of a horned camel at the Hogwarts Yule Ball. That counterfeit!
How will he react?Will be very angry?Kick her out of his house angrily?Oh Merlin's hat, he's been using the current Muggle Studies professor as air at Hogwarts for a long time!
Liu Quan sighed softly.
She cannot stay here long.19 Spider's End was not a safe place for an Order member like her to stop - in fact, she was surprised that Snape would almost OOC bring her back here.In the original work, Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange once came here together to force Snape to set an unbreakable spell to protect Draco Malfoy's safety; the despicable traitor Wormtail also It was once designated by the Dark Lord to hide here—no matter how you look at it, this place is not suitable for a member of the Order of the Phoenix.If the Death Eaters found out, it would bring Snape great trouble——
Liu Quan sighed again in his heart, feeling that the potion with an indescribable taste just now seemed to have some effect in his body; at least, now she has a little strength and mood——
With her eyes still closed, she made sure that Snape seemed to be hiding in the basement and refused to come out; The melody in .
【All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's

And everyone is issuing
I hearthose sleigh bells ringing

She hummed very low, and didn't sing the words at all; she just jumped out of her throat one by one, and it was impossible to tell that it was a beautiful and timely song without listening carefully.However, what appeared in her mind was the brightly lit castle, the vast and magnificent hall, the teenagers and girls in fancy clothes, laughing and laughing, and the shadows on their temples——
Thinking about it now, that was really the last, warmest, and most beautiful part of this story.No strife, no danger, no darkness, no pain, no separation, no death—
She still leaned her head back on the back of the dusty old sofa and closed her eyes.There was a faint bleak smell mixed with old wood and dust in the room, but the fireplace not far from the sofa was burning, and the dancing flames cast flickering lights on her face from time to time. light and shadow.

From that day in memory, it doesn't seem to be long, but it seems like a lifetime has passed.
Dumbledore died, Cedric died, and Sirius had to hide the truth that he was still alive; how many people who enjoyed the joy of the Yule Ball in that gorgeous hall at that time were already fighting with the Death Eater? Lost his life in the battle of gangsters?
Thinking back now, how brightly Hogwarts was at that time, how dark and deserted Spider's End is now.The light is extinguished, the stars are strangled, and the darkness is overwhelming, as if to swallow everything——
However, now is not the time to stop.It's not the time to be depressed either.In order for such light to return to the world, you must risk your life and keep moving forward.because--

All I want for Christmas——]
Before she could hum the last syllable softly, she suddenly felt a gust of air flowing around her robes, and then the tip of a magic wand suddenly and silently hit her—the top of her head!
Liu Quan suddenly opened his eyes!
"...You, are, singing, what?!" Severus Snape was standing behind the sofa, and asked, gritting his teeth after each word.
Liu Quan was originally leaning his head back on the back of the sofa, but when he opened his eyes, he found that Snape's face was just above hers - of course because he was standing, His face was still some distance away from hers.She did not know when he had come up, or how long he had been listening in silence in a corner where she had not noticed; but now his expression looked terribly ugly.
He stared at her condescendingly, half of his face was covered by the hanging greasy black hair; only those black eyes shone sharply in the shadows, as if to scratch her face to pieces , Seeing through her true colors under that face.
Liu Quan was silent for a moment.Then, she raised the corners of her lips slightly and smiled at him.
"What's the matter? Doesn't it sound good? I heard it's a Christmas song that Muggles like." She replied nonchalantly.
She hadn't sung the words just now, just gutturally humming the tune in bits and pieces; that way he could tell which song it was - and it was a Muggle song, not A well-known song in the wizarding world - which only shows that he is more familiar with this song than she expected, doesn't it?
For some reason, this reasoning pleased her so much that for a moment she didn't even mind the danger of being pointed at by his wand at the top of her head and being Avada at any moment—she still looked up. With a leisurely smile on his face, he looked straight up at his gloomy face without avoiding it, and continued leisurely: "...a friend taught me to sing it a while ago."
The facial features on Snape's face were distorted in an instant following her words.He looked very ugly, his eyes flickered several times back and forth, the only stable hand seemed to be his hand holding the magic wand, the tip of the wand was still pressed tightly on the hairpin at the top of her head, and asked in a low voice: "...Your friend, how...how is it now?"
Liu Quan smiled, as if playing charades in circles with him, and replied nonchalantly: "...Maybe, he is still alive?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a sinking on the top of her head—Snape actually pressed the tip of the stick down a little harder, so that a small piece of her scalp was pressed painfully.
He seemed dissatisfied with her obviously perfunctory and casual tone, so when he spoke, his voice was extraordinarily smooth and magnetic, like a whirling violin.
"To a friend who has fought side by side with you for a long time, your description of her current situation sounds particularly... cold."
When he said the adjective "cold", he deliberately paused for emphasis; Liu Quan grinned when he heard this.
"So, what can I do for you?" she asked benignly, sounding unusually gentle and courteous; but this attitude irritated Snape almost immediately.
He jerked his wand down a little more, looking as if he was going to throw an Avada at once; but resisting the harmful urge, he just hissed through gritted teeth, "I didn't Time is running circles with you here! Know that 'the man' just executed Kerry Dibbaji - if you knew who she was!"
But the woman leaning back on his sofa seemed completely unaffected by his nervousness and anger.She just frowned and repeated the name: "... Kerry Dibbaji?"
"... She is a witch who is keen on studying Muggles! She was once well-known in the wizarding world, and Dumbledore once considered whether to hire her to be a professor of Muggle studies at Hogwarts!" Snape almost spoke from his teeth. Between the cracks, he squeezed out these two sentences of comments.
"She also wrote an article in the Daily Prophet defending Muggles...they found her and—"
His voice stopped abruptly, and a moment later, he abruptly pulled back his wand from the top of her hair.His voice was cold and stiff, sounding inorganic.
"'The Man' couldn't find Lily Evans. So to vent his anger, he took it out on Kerry Dibbaji... It's not something you can play charades or jokes about! If you know Lily Evans is now—"
His words were suddenly interrupted by the woman on the sofa.She sat up straight suddenly, left the back of the sofa, turned around and looked at him standing behind the sofa, her eyes and voice were quiet.
"So what, Severus?" she asked quietly, "I also know she's in danger—so I think it's best if neither of us knows where she is; It's not that I don't trust you enough, but... the most reliable means of keeping secrets is to be completely ignorant; right?"
Snape glared at her angrily.She felt that he was almost congested by her anger, because even in the dark room, she could vaguely see that his pale face was flushed; It's like a hundred times to Avada her.
"You're implying that I—"
Before he could finish, she quickly cut him off.
"I didn't mean to offend you. But, I don't believe in the Dark Lord."
Snape was taken aback.
