HP in the name of Slytherin

When Catherine returns to Hogwarts, she only needs to say hello to Dumbledore. She will apparate herself and go from Herbo Castle to the outside of Hogwarts in the blink of an eye.

Dumbledore was deeply relieved when he heard that she was going to the mysterious classroom on the eighth floor. "We all call it the Room of Requirement, because it always fulfills the wishes of the little wizards and creates corresponding rooms for them."

"It seems you know what's inside?" Catherine asked. "I remembered some things and speculated on some things. I can check with you later."

The elderly Dumbledore is also good at taking advantage of rules. Hearing this, he said happily: "This is the best. To be honest, I am a little worried about the current situation. You have always been conservative towards Tom before, so I am actually a little worried."

Thinking of Voldemort's strong magic field, Catherine could not help but sink her face: "I know what he is doing. Our previous analysis was wrong. The Ministry of Magic is indeed controlled by Voldemort..."

Catherine gave Dumbledore a little talk about the effects of magic fields.

"They look the same as usual, but in fact their minds have been controlled by Voldemort. I was supposed to be the only one who knew this magic..." Catherine frowned slightly, "Even if I had some memory problems before, I would not teach such a dangerous magic to him. he."

Dumbledore still believed this, "Tom is a genius. I knew he had extraordinary talent when we first met him. Over the years, he not only collected magic books by himself, but the Death Eaters also provided him with their own collections. Now he has My understanding of magic has probably reached an unimaginable level.”

He is a magic field created by himself according to his own needs, just like Catherine once was.

This realization made Catherine silent.

Dumbledore patted her shoulder, "I don't know how to enter that room. It requires a certain thought to open. I originally thought I had to wait for you to recover your memory before you can enter."

He paused and said considerately: "But I think you should want to get in touch with him yourself first."

"Thank you," Catherine thanked Dumbledore sincerely. "I really need to talk to him alone. I will find you later."

Dumbledore took Catherine to the eighth floor. Sirius and Severus, who had been guarding the corridor, stood up suddenly when they saw the two approaching.

Sirius was scratching his head out of boredom, trying to interact with Severus, while Severus was leaning aside and reading quietly.

The scumbag and the top student are clearly distinguishable.

Dumbledore silently glanced at Sirius, who stood upright when he saw him, and then at Severus, who was quiet and elegant... The little lion of his own academy could only endure it.

"Boys, it's almost time for curfew and I thought it was time for you to have a quick chat before heading back to rest."

"Yes, Professor!" Sirius gave a funny salute, which looked very lively and drowned out Severus' reply.

Dumbledore nodded to Catherine and left the corridor with his sleeves rolled up.

He said boys, don't be late, but what does that have to do with the girl Catherine? She was even recorded in school records as the little wizard who came home for the holidays.

After Dumbledore disappeared from sight, Sirius walked back and forth in the corridor several times without saying a word.

Severus whispered to Catherine about the day's events, and when Sirius stopped, he heard Catherine's gentle thanks: "Thank you, Mr. Black."

She spoke so naturally, making her already pleasant voice even more pleasant to listen to.

This made Sirius, who was already awkward, feel a little shy. He scratched his head unnaturally and pretended not to care, "I just found it casually. Since you are here, I won't care about it."

With that said, he strode away with his head held high.

Hey, after all, he helped the famous Miss Slytherin and returned her favor, so he was totally worthy of being proud of.

Catherine glanced at Severus before opening the door, and the latter understood, "Then I'll leave first, Miss Catherine."

In his mind, Catherine must be feeling very complicated right now. After experiencing her sudden disappearance (in Malfoy Manor, blocked by the manor's magic and Voldemort's magic field), and suddenly sensing her violent mood swings (in the Quiet Room), I thought that she was about to meet a mentally disturbed person. For those who had hurt her, Severus felt that Catherine's current mood must not be better.

He wanted to ask, but Catherine was acting normal now. If he forced her to ask, she might instead remind her of unhappy things.

He is always prone to thinking a lot... He is afraid that he has done something wrong and will lose what he cherishes now, but he is too proud to say anything. He is afraid of embarrassment, fear of being lost if he is not answered, and fear that if he speaks out, his precious things will be lost. Self-esteem is also lost.

Catherine discovered that after she recovered the memory of her first time travel, she actually began to subconsciously read Severus's emotions and thoughts... This was not good. She realized it and immediately restrained herself.

"Don't think about it." She raised her hand to help Severus tidy up a strand of hair that was hanging slightly down while he was reading a book. "It's late today. I have to go see Professor Dumbledore later. Tomorrow I will Let’s go find you, okay?”

Her gentle voice and firm and gentle eyes always made Severus feel at ease. His chaotic mind suddenly cleared up and he returned to his previous clarity and tranquility.

"Okay, then I'll go back first..." He said, but he didn't leave immediately, and Catherine didn't leave immediately either.

She just looked at him quietly, her expression soft and quiet.

After a few seconds, the black-haired little wizard gathered all his courage and whispered: "Miss Catherine, if you need me for anything, please tell me."

He clenched his fists and lowered his eyes after saying this, not daring to look at Catherine again.

Hearing Catherine's chuckle, it didn't contain any mockery, but seemed to be a little happy.

"Thank you, Severus, I will," her voice rose slightly at the end and returned to a light state, "after all, you are my loyal squire, Mr. Severus, have a good rest tonight. Very busy."

At the familiar joking name, the tips of Severus' ears turned slightly red, he coughed lightly, said "Good night" and ran away.

【Good night. 】Catherine waved back to him through Haier.

The little wizard ran faster, and Haierbo was surprised. "This little wizard ran so fast, he seemed to be faster than Haierbo~"

[Okay, let’s go. 】Catherine covered the little basilisk's mouth to prevent Severus from having sparks fly out of his legs.

Opening the mysterious door that emerged from the wall, the dim firelight disappeared, and the classroom was brightly lit, like daylight.

It was the "empty classroom" where [Catherine] once practiced magic with Tom.
