Chapter 981 [Chapter 5] 66
Snape looked as if he didn't realize how terrible his expression was.His face was pale, his big nose became sharper, and he asked word by word: "Are you sure?!...Did you remember correctly?!"
Hermione shrank her neck involuntarily.I can't remember wrongly, Shakespeare is taught in Muggle schools, he is very important, very famous - she wanted to say that, but after thinking about it, she swallowed it and nodded heavily instead.
"There's no way I'm wrong, Professor. Swear to Merlin."
Then she found the incumbent headmaster of Hogwarts who has always been so menacing, with straight shoulders and a sense of oppression. His black robe and indifferent and rigid expression have always been like an indestructible camouflage, but now the perfect one The camouflage was cracked, although the crack was so small that it was almost imperceptible, but a kind of gloomy and deep fatigue escaped from that tiny gap, almost freezing the air in the room for a moment, turning into a hovering The dark clouds above people's heads pressed down on the people in the principal's office.
But she never felt any depression or resentment.All she felt was a certain kind of sadness and sadness. At that moment, she could suddenly perceive with the keenness of an adult woman that what was floating in this room was not a powerful and threatening pressure, but a loss. The loss and sentimentality after losing someone very important.Especially when they now realize that the person they lost was actually very important and indispensable to them.But they had no chance of redemption.
Hermione seemed to understand something, and the surprise in her eyes gradually turned into pity and sympathy.
She found that at this time, the former old headmaster who had been sleeping in the picture frame with his eyes closed and wearing a purple robe full of stars and moons suddenly opened his eyes.Originally, his posture was that his elbow rested on the armrest of the seat and his chin was supported. At this time, half of his face was still covered by his hand; He winked very slightly at Hermione, with admiration in his blue eyes, as if to say to her: "You answered very well, ten points from Gryffindor."
After Hermione left the principal's office, Severus Snape was still sitting in the chair under Dumbledore's portrait, motionless, as if he was thinking about something.
Finally, he stood up abruptly, strode towards the door of the principal's office, opened the door and walked out.
Behind him, people in the magic picture frame were discussing in amazement.
"Hey, where are you going so late, Severus—" Dumbledore, who was wearing a robe of stars and moons and a tall purple nightcap, pretended to be surprised, and stood on the wall behind Snape. shouted.
...But at this time Snape had already slammed the door back with a bang, so naturally he did not hear his shout.
Dumbledore sighed pretentiously, and said to Lady Dairis Dewent in the picture frame on the opposite wall: "...Young people, you are always easily dominated by your emotions and do impulsive things—but It is precisely because of this that we can see the inheritance of the word 'love' in the world, isn't it?"
Miss Daisy Dewent smiled and nodded approvingly.
And Snape, at the moment, was walking down the corridor on the eighth floor rolling in his black robe.
He didn't want to stay in the principal's office any longer.He didn't want to hear Dumbledore babbling on about that Lily to him again, or ordering him to use the Pensieve.Everything in that room suddenly became extremely heavy and oppressive, making it difficult to breathe.So he left there and walked the corridors of Hogwarts; thinking that he would find a moment's relief from the tightness of his throat and the constriction of his chest.
There was silence in Hogwarts Castle at night.Under his strict management, there are very few little wizards who dare to go out at night—even the Potboy who loves to make trouble no longer comes out at night to violate school rules.
That's fine.Filch's workload was reduced a lot, and he didn't have to worry about unscheduled labor services—he went straight to the painting of the silly Barnabas beating a troll, hesitated, as if Think about something in your heart.However, he stood there without moving for a long time, and no door appeared on the wall in front of him.
Snape didn't really want to go into the Room of Requirement.He just remembered that there was a tunnel leading to the Hog's Head in this room.
He remembered that on the day of the final battle at Hogwarts, that impostor had sneaked back to Hogwarts this way and met him here.
At that time, the impostor actually arranged the place as a Muggle street scene when Christmas came, and a mistletoe wreath was hung above the door frame of the Room of Requirement; The Muggle song that accompanied the dance, and then the impostor just rushed forward with his head so reckless, almost pinning him on the door—
Finally, she said: You may doubt that the stars are fire, that the sun moves, that truth is a lie; but...
but what?Why didn't she tell the truth then?
Snape walked up and down the corridor outside the Room of Requirement a few times with a little restlessness; finally he felt that he was like a little troll with a splendens in his brain, so he He turned around quickly, and walked towards the stairs with strides like when he came, intending to go back to the principal's office.
Today, however, his luck is not so good.The convenient and direct stairs always refused to turn to his side.He had to choose a not-so-convenient staircase to go around, and then he found that he was still standing on the seventh floor and only went down one floor.
He angrily walked along the corridor, intending to go to the other side to find a more obedient staircase, but he stopped abruptly after taking a few steps.
Here, he remembered.
After the Yule Ball where he was forced to dance with her, he received a note from her with a magic paper crane asking him to come to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor to give him the horn of the horned camel.But as soon as he got to the seventh floor, he saw her talking to the Potboy.
Hidden in the shadow of a nearby pillar, he heard the Potboy trying to convince her what an unbelievable, suspicious, mean man he was.
Then, she dismissed the Pot Boy, turned around and gave him the horn of the horned camel, and without pestering him, she said to him with a smile, "This is really the best!" It’s Christmas Eve”, and walked up the stairs leading to the eighth floor in front of him——
Then the stairs creaked and slowly turned, taking her to a new place.And he heard her on the stairs humming the song they used to dance to.
Snape turned sharply, looking at the magic staircase behind him.
The stairway was beginning to chug and turn, turning away as it remembered; the moonlight that fell into the castle late at night through a nearby skylight hung over the stairway.
Under his long and fixed gaze, a bluish-white phantom seemed to appear on the turning staircase; the person in the phantom was wearing a dark blue sequined one-shoulder dress and a silver-white tunic , that beautiful skirt rolled around her feet like waves when she walked around; she just stood there, holding on to the railing of the stairs with one hand, looking back at him with a smile, as if she was still humming .

He blinked, and the phantom disappeared just like that—or, that phantom should never have existed, and everything that happened just now was just from his imagination.
He unconsciously took a step forward.But that staircase has turned away.There was only an empty floor in front of him, and a dark and bottomless space behind the floor.
He suddenly wanted to say something.But he didn't even know her real name.From the very beginning, she appeared in Lily's appearance, until she disappeared, she was Lily, with Lily's identity and Lily's face——
But what is her real name?who is she?Where is she from?what does she look likeWhy was there such a surge of kindness and... kindness towards him from the very beginning? !
"Fake," he said softly.Although the referenced noun he said seemed impolite, his tone was soft and low, as if there was a hint of a sigh.
"Why didn't you have the last laugh this time? Don't you always have the last laugh?"
He stood there blankly, a small tingling pain that he couldn't tell what it felt surged from his limbs and bones, and spread rapidly; when the tingling pain permeated his whole body, he finally realized one thing.
Even the real Lily couldn't possibly save him like this.
She had deliberately let Bellatrix's Death Eaters discover her whereabouts.She was going to Malfoy Manor and volunteered to take his place on the Death Express.
It was as if she had guessed from the beginning that the Dark Lord would not spare his life.So she threw herself into the trap in such a stupid way, and then stood before the Dark Lord with a fearless look, and every word, every word she said exactly angered the man who had almost pushed the wizarding world to the point of no return. The saved person from the dark abyss allowed him to accumulate enough anger before killing others, enough to push her into that room in the Malfoy Manor, and then assign the big snake to jump forward to kill her, perhaps planning to Bite her throat——
Snape felt a sudden, piercing pain.The pain pierced his heart and lungs like a sharp arrow, forcing him to bow his waist forward, his shoulders were tense, and his shoulder blades protruded, as if he was tightening his limbs so hard , as if it could temporarily offset some of the pain caused by the stinging pain in his chest and abdomen.
His tall, always straight-backed, black-robed figure hunched deeply at this moment, as if finally in this dark night, in the corridor where no one passed by, someone from Knocked down by the deep pain in his heart.
In a trance, it seemed that on the magical staircase in front of him that turned back and forth, someone was still humming softly that Christmas song that was very popular in the Muggle world.
