Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

He tensed his face subconsciously, and retorted: "...Don't you believe that I can keep a secret in front of 'that person'?!"

However, after hearing his questioning, she just supported the sofa with one hand and stood up, looking at him calmly, those black eyes were clear and bright.

"I trust you, Severus," she said. "I just don't believe that the Dark Lord would trust you so much that he would not be willing to lay hands on you—if he thinks it is necessary, the Cruciatus Curse, the Imperius Curse, or even worse...he will not hesitate to inflict it on you." On you, it's like he is wantonly torturing others."

In the quiet and dark room, there was a slight smell of dust, and the smell of firewood burning in the long-unlit fireplace.Her voice was gentle and calm, but what she said was thrilling.

"The Dark Lord doesn't trust anyone. If he thinks you might be harboring Lily, or if you don't know about Lily's whereabouts, he will do it to you too. Severus, I don't think Lily will tell you her whereabouts, will you?" I hope you risk something for this."

Snape: "..."

He still felt a surge of anger—and a brand new anger welling up in him, but he had nothing to say.

The last image of Kerry Debbudge, who was hanged upside down at Malfoy Manor, suddenly came back to memory.At that time, she recognized him and cried his name, as if begging him to save her, or at least give her a good time; Sitting empty and indifferent at the long table, numbly listening to Bellatrix's shrill laughter and the Dark Lord calling out "Avada Kedavra"—

He had to admit that after imagining the face of Kerry Dibbaji replaced by Lily Evans in his mind, he actually felt a cold and merciless sense of gratitude - thankful that even with all the black The devil wanted to kill and then quickly, that fake Lily still escaped the death eaters and hid in a place that even the Dark Lord didn't know; Someone whom that old lunatic Dumbledore trusted [-]%, yet refused his normal concern for his companion's life and death - that kind of stupid attitude is simply annoying!

Although I know that what she said is probably the truth, but this kind of attitude makes it impossible to accept her words happily.Besides, she probably didn't remember that she herself was about to burn herself to death in that dark alley earlier tonight--he kindly took her in, and she recovered with his potion; And now, standing in his house and blaming him, all right, all right—oh, Merlin, that's really nice.

Willow heard Snape snort irritably.All of a sudden, she felt that the pain and high fever that had permeated her whole body just now were not so obvious.In other words, the persistent high fever has numb her body.

She even had the mood to jokingly say: "Oh, don't be so grumpy, Severus. You... act as if you care - I'm sure Lily will be very happy if she finds out; but The Dark Lord just..."

Snape's fidgety humming got louder, so much so that his voice lost its composure and seemed so distraught.

"I'm assuming you haven't lost your mind with the heat, Miss Columbone. Then you should understand that you're not standing in front of a nice guy, but a veteran Death Eater—not a good subject for a joke..."

Liu Quan frowned, and responded briefly: "I knew what kind of person you were from the beginning, Severus."

Snape choked, and soon found an excuse to fight back.He smiled slickly, "Oh, of course, of course. An undercover hero who endured humiliation—if that old bee told you so. Unfortunately, I'm not what he portrayed me as…"

Liu Quan sighed and interrupted him again. "We've known each other for many years, Severus. I don't trust you just because of what Albus said. A person's character is the key to whether others decide whether they are worthy of their trust."

Snape choked - how rare that was!The speed of his venom spraying has always been synchronized with his rapidly spinning brain. Being able to temporarily stop this kind of all-round indiscriminate attack should be a sense of accomplishment, right? ——It seemed that it took him a long time to find his voice, hissed like something stuck in his throat, and said angrily: "...Your brain was indeed stepped on by a troll, I think."

Although Liu Quan still felt a little unwell, he couldn't help laughing.

It's rare to be able to take advantage of words in front of him.Even when she boldly hinted that "Lily will be very happy because of your concern" just now, he seemed to have forgotten to strongly deny it because he was in a hurry to explode? ——Sure enough, for this boring and dull old bachelor, straightforward words like "confession" are the big killer?

Her laughter made Snape even more depressed.He said angrily: "Your attitude... makes me feel very familiar."

Liu Quan's laughter stopped abruptly.She tensed up for a moment.

Dumbledore's Permanent Confusion Charm couldn't possibly go wrong.So what was wrong with her words and deeds? ……This is impossible.He hasn't suspected anything for so many years... What's more, doesn't he hate her to the bone, the impostor who stole Lily's body? ...

Liu Quan didn't dare to think about it anymore.

She spoke quickly, and replied with seeming ease, "Oh, of course. We've known each other for a long time, haven't we? As fellow members of the Order, how many years have we known each other? —Seventeen? Or eighteen?"

Snape seemed to regain his composure.He coughed leisurely, and returned to his previous cold and smooth voice like a piece of silk.

"Maybe 17 years. You showed up suddenly, you know. And not long after you showed up, You-Know-Who disappeared..."

He seemed to think of something for a moment, and choked up suddenly.

Liu Quan pretended not to hear the slight fluctuation in his tone.

"Oh?...Maybe you don't know, I wasn't responsible for meeting you before. Who knows what Dumbledore suddenly thought at that time... Or, he finally thought that my ability is qualified to be at the forefront... "

Her interruption brought him back to normal quickly.He was silent for a second, then suddenly asked: "... When did you join the Order of the Phoenix? And when did you know what I... really do?"

She didn't expect him to ask such a question, and she didn't think of how to answer it for a while.There was a sudden, startling silence in the air.But she quickly whispered, "...much earlier than you know."

Snape was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "...In this way, I don't seem to have any impression of your time as a student at Hogwarts. It stands to reason that an old bee who is so outstanding will personally recruit him into the Phoenix The little wizard of the society should not be silent in the school, not attracting attention—”

Liu Quan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately replied, "That's because you don't pay much attention to Hufflepuff."

Snape's facial features were distorted at that moment, and Liu Quan immediately realized that he probably thought of Beryl Fogerton - the real Lily's soul possessed person, who was also a person who was unnoticed in school. Hufflepuff.

She pretended not to notice Snape's expression, and continued: "I did have mediocre grades in school, and I never thought about joining the Order of the Phoenix. But everything changed after my parents were killed by Death Eaters... They are all innocent Muggles, but unfortunately they passed the place where they planned to kill Muggles on the day, at that moment, when the Death Eaters started killing... Later I went to Professor Dumbledore, and I said that no matter what I had No matter how powerful you are, you must do something... He took me into the Order of the Phoenix, but until I was sent to meet you, he kept saying that my skills were too ordinary, and that it might even be difficult for me to protect myself when it came time to fight , so I am not qualified to rush to the forefront... I tried my best to practice all kinds of spells, and learned them ten times harder than when I was at Hogwarts. Finally, one day, he called me and said that they needed a Members with unfamiliar faces who have appeared in front of anyone to meet you, so that no matter whether it is the Death Eaters, the Order of the Phoenix or the Aurors, no one will have any doubts about your true identity and mission..."

She had thought about these words a long time ago, and she even made up a memory for it, so that no matter who saw it, she would not reveal her true face.Even Dumbledore marveled at her knack for telling stories.So Snape had no doubts about it either.When he was studying at Hogwarts, apart from a limited number of people—whether they were friends or enemies—it was potions, a mediocre Hufflepuff?Nature is not in his eyes.

Snape frowned suspiciously, but her story sounded so convincing that he couldn't think of anything to criticize for a moment.So he responded in a tone full of complaints, as if he was bored: "...So, another person who was tricked here by Dumbledore's so-called 'lofty ideals and goals'? The level of darkness is not forward-looking, so enthusiastically devoted to your so-called noble cause, maybe one day you may sacrifice your life in vain—”

Liu Quan suddenly interrupted him.The smile on her face disappeared, and her expression was extremely serious.

"Our sacrifice is conceivable. But, Severus, you'd better live."

Snape seemed terribly taken aback.His eyes, which were always tired and bored, suddenly opened wide.His eyes wandered around her face full of doubts and vigilance, but he seemed to find nothing; finally, he tensed his jaw repressedly.

"It's really strange," his voice as smooth as a cello reappeared.But Liu Quan knew that whenever he started talking like this, it must mean that the anger accumulated in his heart had reached a certain stage.

"I thought you would say 'as long as you can defeat that person, any kind of sacrifice is acceptable'—"

Liu Quan blurted out: "How is it possible?!"

Snape blinked as if caught off guard by her sudden outburst.

Liu Quan decided not to think about other things, but continued speaking in one go.

"Listen, Severus, you have to live... No matter what happens in the future, as long as that person leads the Death Eaters to attack Hogwarts himself, there is hope..."

He looked very surprised, as if he wanted to reject her immediately; but she suddenly leaned forward with a force from nowhere, put her hands on the back of the sofa, arched her back and lowered her upper body, just Staring at him so firmly, if he doesn't obediently follow her advice, she will jump over this sofa and grab him.

"You must live, Severus. Hogwarts still needs you, too many people have died, innocent people... there can be no more senseless deaths, Severus, you can stop this Everything, the premise is that you must live..." She raised her head to look at his half-hidden face in the darkness with a bit of sadness and pleading, and said with difficulty: "You can't die here, and you can't die here. You can't die at Hogwarts, because the reconstruction after the war also needs you, have you forgotten Albus's request?"

Perhaps thinking of something, his face instantly darkened, and his body also became stiff.He answered her dryly: "No, I haven't forgotten...." Endure all difficult circumstances, face unfair prejudice and comments, even if you have to bear a ruined reputation, life will have no light; as long as Hogwarts You cannot disappear without rebuilding the honor, solidarity, and ruins of the world... Even if no one in this world really understands, even if everyone in the world treats you with malice, you can't back down; because you deserve it, you deserve it. Must bear.'—if that is what you mean."
