Liu Quan calmed down and suppressed the previous extreme surprise.Originally, she wanted to shut him out with reasons such as "it's late at night and everyone should rest after working hard all night", but she also knew that since he had been waiting here for she didn't know how long, then he wouldn't Accept this obviously perfunctory refusal.She nodded wearily, and said to little Alice in the frame, "The Dodo."

Little Alice opened the door for her.Snape soon followed Willow into the room.

Apologetically, Liu Quan asked him to sit on the sofa for a while, and rushed into the bathroom unkempt, washed his face and hands briefly, and then used beauty magic to tidy up his tangled hair like a weed.

The magic mirror in the bathroom was still picky about a few scratches and bruises on her face, but now there are visitors outside, it is not convenient to use any healing or beauty magic to slowly repair, so Liu Quan just poked with the tip of her wand The always talkative mirror went out.

She didn't dare to make the Snake Courtyard wait for long.

But it seems that the dean of the Snake Academy is still not very happy.Although she only spent no more than 5 minutes in the bathroom.

The structure of Liu Quan's office is somewhat similar to that of the potion office. Once you enter the door, you will find an office and living room, and then you will find a bedroom and a bathroom.Before she reached the living room, she saw from a distance the Potions professor in black standing in front of the bookshelf with a sullen face, staring at the bookshelf full of all kinds of Muggle books, exuding a low air that strangers should not get close to. .

Liu Quan couldn't bear the throbbing pain in her temples. While rubbing her forehead helplessly, she walked into the office, sat down on the sofa cautiously, called a house elf, and politely asked if she was still standing. Snape, who had his back to her in front of the bookshelf, needed some late-night snacks or drinks.

Snape simply refused.After thinking about it, Liu Quan still asked the house elf for a pot of pumpkin juice, a cup of hot milk, and some refreshments.

The house-elf had everything set up and delivered in almost a few minutes.For a few minutes there was silence in the Muggle Studies office.

Snape seemed to be continuing to examine the Muggle books that filled several shelves—reading was originally one of Liu Quan's hobbies, especially in this era when there were only 486, the role of books was even more important.Liu Quan, on the other hand, seemed to suddenly become interested in his own hands, admiring them several times back and forth.

Just as she was staring at a relatively obvious scratch on her palm for the fourth or fifth time, a crystal bottle suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

Liu Quan raised his head in surprise.

Snape had left the vicinity of the bookshelf at some point, and was standing in front of her at this moment.He held a bottle of Baixian with three fingers in the hand he stretched out to her, with a disgusted expression on his face.When he saw Liu Quan standing there in a daze, instead of taking the bottle gratefully immediately, his expression became even worse.

"Take it. Stop exposing your insignificant little wounds to others, it only proves how stupid and reckless you are - like a standard Gryffindor!"

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.She reached out to take the bottle from Snape, the smile still on her face.

"Thank you, Severus." She put the bottle in her pocket casually, pointed to another sofa and said, "Aren't you going to sit down? After a long night, I think we probably need it most." Just rest."

Snape frowned, stared at her face fiercely, pursed his lips for a long time, sat down heavily on the sofa, and criticized with a very displeased expression: "You look really bad. Maybe you're the worst What should go is not here, but the school hospital."

Liu Quan picked up the cup of hot milk with a smile, took a sip, shrugged and said: "Professor Dumbledore said the same thing. But I think it must be full of people tonight, I'd better not join in the fun. And these are just It's a small injury, but it will heal soon."

Snape raised his eyebrows again, "Small wounds? You call these 'little wounds'?!" He looked as if he wanted to spray the "stupid Gryffindor" in front of him with venom, but He finally held back, and just said bluntly: "...the formula of that bottle of baixian has been adjusted, so it can be used on the face."

The smile on the corner of Liu Quan's lips couldn't help getting deeper.She had to bury most of her face into the mouth of the cup, hiding her crooked brows and eyes in the hot milk.She coughed lightly, swallowing back the joyful laugh she had almost uttered, and said, "Ahem... Severus, thank you."

Snape also seemed to see her clumsy concealment, and his face became even uglier, as if her cheerfulness could kill his good mood.He cleared his throat and said in a rigid tone, "won't you explain what happened tonight?"

Liu Quan was slightly taken aback, "What do I need to explain?...I can only say that I am as surprised as you are." She said rascally, lowering the rim of the cup a little, peeking at Snape from the edge of the cup complexion.

It was really dark.

"Why did you stop me from going to the Shrieking Shack in the first place?!" Snape asked bluntly, determined not to be sloppy with the cunning woman.He knew that her skills with Si Ni were second to none, if he still used those euphemisms, they would probably be exhausted until tomorrow morning, and he wouldn't be able to dig out a single useful word from her!

Liu Quan sighed inwardly.

He really came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime.

She buried her face back in the rim of the milk glass, as if she wanted milk so badly.God knows she just doesn't know how to answer him, so that he can dispel his suspicion and anger, and at the same time not disturb that damned "plot inertia"!

Liu Quan thought for a while, and decided to perfunctory a few words first.She said vaguely: "I... I also suspect that there is some kind of connection between Remus and Sirius. You know, they used to be the closest friends..."

"Then what happened later? Why did you stop me from rushing in and grabbing that stupid dog?!" Snape refused to let her go so easily, he stared at her and asked aggressively.

Liu Quan choked, and found his own voice after a few seconds.

"I... I still don't quite believe that the informer was Sirius. If you remember that night, you should remember that I stayed in Godric's Hollow for a while... At that time, after you left Soon, Hagrid came and wanted to take Harry away... I observed Sirius' expression and performance, and frankly, I always felt that a despicable informer could not behave like he did at that time..." She Slowly recalling the scene of that Halloween night, the hand holding the milk cup slowly let go, and his eyes became slightly blurred.

"His grief doesn't seem fake, and his crying doesn't seem fake... He can't act, and there is no such element in his character..."

Snape looked a little shocked, but he quickly snorted contemptuously, and said sarcastically: "Gryffindor friendship is always so blind! ... But even so, your trust in him is far from enough. not willing to testify against him at the Wizengamot—"

Liu Quan was shocked, slowly raised his eyes, looked back at him calmly, and admitted: "Yes. At that time, all the evidence pointed to him... I have no evidence of his absolute innocence on the night of the incident, let alone To be this witness, to prove what I didn't see with my own eyes... Before I rushed to Godric's Hollow, I didn't complete the same mission as him, and I don't know that before he appeared there, he did what happened..."

Snape let out a sneer.

Liu Quan put down the milk glass, looked directly at him, and said quietly: "That's why I will prevent you from going in immediately tonight. I want to hear what Sirius said, and see if my judgment is wrong... Sure enough, later We all know what happened, and Peter Pedilu is the real culprit..."

Snape's face contorted for a moment.The mention of this name made him grit his teeth and his face turned pale.

"Peter Pedillo! I must... I must...!"

Liu Quan immediately leaned forward and interrupted his words urgently.

"No, Severus, leave him to Albus to deal with," she said earnestly, looking into Snape's face, which was so dark with excessive anger.

"Dumbledore?" Snape gave a short laugh, and said in a smooth voice: "You think he can avenge Li... Beryl without going through the idiots of the Ministry of Magic?!"

Liu Quan's throat choked, and he felt a little speechless for a while.After a moment of silence, she said in a low voice: "Even if he has to go through the trial of the Ministry of Magic, the kiss of the dementor and the permanent imprisonment in Azkaban, he still can't escape... You can't kill such a person just because you want to He paid too much for a scum, he didn't deserve it..."

"Whether it's worth it or not, you don't need to judge." Snape said coldly.His eyes slid across her face, and for a second seemed to rest on a small bruise at the corner of her mouth.But he quickly looked away, and said coldly: "I thought you might give me some clues based on your knowledge of that stupid dog... But now I think, maybe I should go and talk to Dumbledore. Lido talk."

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, watching Snape stand up from the sofa, without saying another word to her, he went straight to the door of the office, opened the door very neatly, and walked out in stride.

The door of the Muggle Studies Office made a clear "bang" in the middle of the night, breaking the silence on this floor.The magic portraits hanging on the wall in the corridor outside the office were woken up one after another, rubbing their eyes in the picture frames and asking questions and cursing.

However, Liu Quan, who stayed in the office, did not hear what happened outside.She stared at the door that Snape ruthlessly closed, and remained silent for a long time, as if she had turned into a stone statue on the spot.

Then she wiped her face with her right hand in a weary and frustrated way, without any grace at all; then she pinched the center of her brow with her right hand, as if doing so would win her back a little sobriety Same as sanity.

There was a sudden "pop" in the room, which startled Liu Quan.A house-elf suddenly appeared in front of her.

Liu Quan covered his mouth, barely able to block back the scream that was about to rush to his mouth.Her eyes widened, and she realized that this uninvited visitor was actually that Harry Potter fan, Dobby who was now working in Hogwarts Castle.

It screamed: "Honorable Headmaster Dumbledore, Dobby has come to tell Professor Evans that he wants you to find him in the headmaster's office immediately! The headmaster said that the password for tonight is 'chocolate frog'!"

Liu Quan was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Now? Why?"

Dobby's green eyes, the size of tennis balls, stared straight at her. Perhaps because of Liuquan's kindness to Harry, he looked at Liuquan with admiration and trust.It screamed: "Dobby doesn't know! But Dobby knows that the bad professor who used to bully Harry Potter went to the headmaster's office! Maybe Headmaster Dumbledore didn't want to see him! Because Headmaster Dumbledore was seeing him I asked Dobby to come to see Professor Evans before! It is Professor Evans that Headmaster Dumbledore wants to see!..."

Liuquan was dizzy from Dobby's habit of never using third-person pronouns.She had no choice but to put down her right hand that was covering her mouth, and showed a comforting smile to this house elf with a super positive outlook.

"I see. I'll be right there. Thank you, Dobby."

Dobby was very excited by her thank you, and as always, he quickly found a wall after hearing her thank you, and banged his head against the wall enthusiastically.

"Oh! Professor Evans is thanking Dobby! Actually, Dobby didn't do anything!  …"

Liu Quan couldn't help laughing at the simple three views of the house-elf.She burst out laughing, feeling that her nerves that had been tense tonight were finally really relaxed.She said commandingly, "Dobby, your job is done. You can go back to your own business."

Dobby immediately stopped banging his head against the wall, turned around, said "Yes!", and disappeared with a bang.
