Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

After Severus Snape left, almost all of Hogwarts immediately rang the bell to summon students.

Liu Quan superimposed the invisibility spell and the neglect spell on himself, and walked carefully along the corner of the wall.On the stairs, she saw the menacing Carlo brothers and sisters standing on the higher steps, staring at these weak-looking underage wizards.

Liu Quan tried his best to hide his aura, quickly followed the footsteps of the last students, and entered the auditorium together with the students who were lined up in several rows.

The Great Hall door creaked shut behind her.

Snape, dressed in black, strode through the students lined up on both sides, the corners of his black robe dragging on the ground behind him, making a small rustling sound.The air in the room is suffocating.

He stepped onto the podium, put his hands in the pockets on both sides of his trousers, and turned around slowly.His pale face was gloomy and flat, his chin was raised slightly, and he looked down at the group of sleepy-eyed, terrified little trolls below the stage.The Carlo brothers and sisters stood beside him, one on the left and one on the right, with proud and sinister faces.

"Many people must be wondering why I summoned you at this time," he began, his tone like smooth silk.

"As far as I know, someone saw Harry Potter in Hogsmeade earlier this evening."

The little monsters in the audience all lowered their heads.Different from the joyful and lively atmosphere when Dumbledore was alive, the atmosphere in the Hogwarts Great Hall at this moment is particularly oppressive and tense.Only when the name "Harry Potter" was mentioned, they couldn't help whispering to each other.

"Now," Snape's voice came quickly, interrupting the brief exchange. "If anyone - whether a student or a staff member - tries to help Mr Porter, they will be severely punished for their behaviour."

He deliberately slowed down his speech, biting the words "severe" and "punishment" heavily and clearly.Liu Quan saw that Professor McGonagall, who was standing on the side of the Gryffindor square, and Professor Slughorn, who was standing on the side of the Slytherin square, showed expressions of horror and disbelief.

"One more thing," Snape added, his face seemingly covered with a grim and rigid mask of paleness, devoid of emotion. "If anyone learns of this act and fails to report it - it is the same crime."

He deliberately slowed down his speech, emphasizing the sentence "the crime is equal" syllable by syllable.In the light of the braziers blazing on the walls of the Great Hall, thick shadows danced on his gloomy face.

Liu Quan suddenly felt sad, and had to blink his eyes vigorously, lest the blurred vision interfere with his last chance to watch him calmly before the battle.

"Besides," Snape walked off the podium slowly, his black robe trailing behind him, his dark eyes swept across the group of little trolls who seemed to be trembling in the audience; his steps almost It didn't make any sound, like a poisonous snake stalking in the dark night, ready to strike at any time.

"If anyone has any knowledge of Mr. Potter's actions tonight, I hope they will come forward." He stopped in the middle of the students, looked around, and spit out the last fatal and threatening word.

"Now!"

There was a dead silence in the auditorium.

No one moves and no one speaks.Snape stood in the middle of the aisle, the deep marks carved between his brows seemed to be more obvious.

Then, a person strode out from the Gryffindor square, and also stood in the middle aisle, a few meters away from Snape, looking at the current headmaster of Hogwarts calmly and bravely.

There was an uproarious discussion among the students, Snape raised his eyebrows, and his expression at that moment was as terrifying as wanting to get rid of Avada.

"It appears that, despite your best defenses, there is a security breach here, Mr Headmaster."

Harry Potter, wearing a Gryffindor robe over the Muggle clothes he had worn on the run, stood erect, his green eyes sparkling with anger behind his round spectacles, and shouted at said Snape.

Almost at the same time, the door of the auditorium not far from Liu Quan's side suddenly opened.A group of people walked in without making a sound.Everyone held wands in their hands, and slowly lined up in a neat row at the door, facing Snape, holding their heads high.

It was the Weasleys, Hermione, Neville, Lupine and Kingsley Shacklebolt.

Harry cheered up, and added sarcastically, "...and the problem is not small."

He glanced back at his allies, then turned back, with clear hatred in his eyes, glaring at Snape and shouting sharply: "How do you have the face to stand where he used to be?!"

The students around them spread out to both sides, and Snape's expression remained unchanged, staring at Harry indifferently and rigidly, with a hint of arrogance and defensiveness in his expression.

Only Liu Quan could read the pain beneath his expression.He opened all the spikes on his body calmly like a hedgehog, but he didn't really want to kill people, just to resist the unknowing stab wounds from others.Behind him stood two veritable vicious Death Eaters, surrounded by the students of Hogwarts that he promised Dumbledore would do his best to protect, and those in front of him didn't understand what he had been doing all this time colleagues in the Order of the Phoenix, and the son of the woman he loves the most, Harry Potter, the savior, whom he fought so hard to keep safe.

Ornate and historic, huge and expansive, the Great Hall has been filled with warm lights and voices for as long as they can remember.But there was no one here who was really on his side, who believed in his character without hesitation, respected his sacrifice, and supported his decision.

And Harry Potter was still yelling at him sternly: "...tell them what happened that night!"

Snape's lips were drawn into a line, and the lines on his cheeks tightened.

"Tell them how you looked into his eyes and killed the elder who trusted you completely!" Harry roared, his emerald green eyes filled with blazing rage and tears of grief.

Snape finally moved a little - his hands were withdrawn from his pockets, as if to put his hands on his hips in disdain for Harry's accusation.

Liu Quan finally decided that he could not listen any longer.Because if he listened to it any more, the pain he hid deep in his heart would turn into tears and rush out of her eyes.

She silently lifted the spell on herself, and slowly walked out from the dark corner next to the door, passing the backbone of the Order of the Phoenix by the door, and stood in front of them - just a few meters behind Harry - silently staring at Snape opposite.

There was another commotion in the auditorium.Lily Evans, the former professor of Muggle studies who was wanted by Voldemort for a whole year but found nothing, and no one knew her whereabouts and life or death, unexpectedly appeared in front of everyone at this moment without incident!

Liu Quan saw the expressions of excitement and joy on the faces of many people, and heard "Lily!", "Professor Evans!" and many other exclamations from behind him.Even Harry, distracted by the little commotion, put aside Dumbledore's death and the accusations against Snape for a moment, and looked back.There was undisguised surprise and delight in his green eyes when he saw her standing at the forefront of the Order.

Her eyes stayed on Harry's face for a second, and she bent her eyes towards the boy to show his comfort, then turned her eyes to the man in black robe opposite, and then didn't look away, as if In an instant, everyone else in the auditorium disappeared.

The moment her eyes fell on him, Snape shuddered imperceptibly.

Those calm and empty eyes looked back at her beautiful green eyes that belonged to Lily, and Liu Quan found that he had used Occlumency to face her.But what is the need?Did he think she, too, had come to accuse him of unforgivable crimes?

Liu Quan blinked his eyes, trying to suppress the sourness and mixed feelings rising from his chest.

About 10 minutes ago they were hugging where no one else could see-well, even if she hugged him one-sidedly, but if he really hated her approaching so much, he couldn't stand her touching him for a second If not, he would have a stronger magic to get rid of her completely, wouldn't he? —but now the distance between them is only a few feet, but it seems that a whole world and life and death are separated.

As in the poem she and Ariana loved, will time pass, will the rose wither?

Liu Quan quietly stared at the man she had treated with heart for more than 20 years—whether it was for the mission or for something else—the ups and downs in her heart gradually calmed down, and finally turned into a pool of unhappiness. The stagnant water is as quiet as a deep pool.

That is a determination that cannot be turned back and cannot be changed.

When darkness falls, will the last light in their lives be lit again?

However, Harry seemed to find a sliver of strength in this brief silence and the appearance of Lily Evans. He glanced at her urgently, as if he suddenly remembered the night Dumbledore died, and the female professor in front of him was in that evil place. Like the Death Eater headmaster who protected him.He hurriedly said to her: "You were there that night! Professor Evans! You protected me, you repelled him..." He pointed to Snape in front of them, as if he wanted to say something else , but the despicable and vicious murderer in his mind suddenly interrupted him.

"Stupid, naive people!" he hissed like a sneer, as if out of breath, in a rapid tone. "Without the ability to find out the truth, it is ridiculous to listen to what others say!..."

"So what's your claim?!" Harry was furious, snarling at him with all his might. "Didn't you cast a killing curse on him?! Didn't you want my life outside the Forbidden Forest?! Didn't you intend to hurt Professor Evans?!" His face was flushed with extreme anger It turned red, then purple again, and shouted at Snape, "What's your claim?! Say it!"

Snape suddenly drew his wand and pointed it at Harry Potter.

There was a terrified uproar from all.The students ducked to the sides, and some even pressed their bodies against the wall, as if they were afraid of being affected by the battle.Professor McGonagall quickly ran out of the Gryffindor phalanx, stood in front of Harry, pushed Harry back, and also drew out his wand, pointing at Snape.

Snape's right hand holding the wand retracted a bit, and even loosened his fingers, as if he hadn't thought that Professor McGonagall would rush out to confront him.There was a brief moment of confusion on his face, but he reacted quickly, straightening his right hand again, and pointed his wand at Professor McGonagall.
