Slytherin's salvation is nothingness

Cyrus' life after arriving at Hogwarts was very regular. After finishing Snape's confinement at night, he went to the Forbidden Forest while his roommate was asleep, and then appeared in the cafeteria early in the morning.

It’s just that Lena Shafique was very angry at Cyrus’s indifference in ignoring her verbal attacks. She tried many ways to anger Cyrus. Now the Slytherin students have discovered that Cyrus is just a nobody with no identity.

Even the female prefect, who had a slightly better attitude before, ignored Cyrus's presence. As a pure-blood family, Shafik naturally has the support of many Slytherin students.

After that, what was targeted by one person turned into a prank carried out by a small group. Their words and attitudes towards Cyrus became increasingly harsh, and the other Slytherin students didn't care either. They didn't bother to interfere.

In addition, every class they discovered that Cyrus had never successfully performed any magic with the wand, and everyone looked at Cyrus with contempt. In the academy, news has begun to spread that Cyrus is a squib. There is even talk that she is a mudblood.

Facts sometimes don't matter. People can make up a novel on their own with just a beginning.

Rumors are like a gust of wind. With a gentle blow, it will fly through the entire forest.

In November, the cold chill in the air makes many little wizards choose to stay indoors. Cyrus was wearing a black robe modified from beast fur and sitting with Angus next to a big tree by the black lake. She had been very interested in this big lake when she took a boat on the black lake.

She looked at the squid tentacles slowly stretching out from the lake to bask in the sun, and curiously stood up to explore. I wonder if this Angus can eat... Suddenly a black ball hit her from a distance. Cyrus immediately dodged it but was hit in the arm. She felt that a bone in her forearm was broken, and the black Bludger took a curve in the air and knocked Cyrus into the black lake.

Cyrus felt that the world suddenly became quiet, and the sound of gurgling water rang in his ears. The lake water was bitingly cold, making her whole body feel stiff. Then Angus jumped into the water, bit her hoodie and swam hard towards the lake. She crawled to the shore with some difficulty, her lower body still in the water.

The broken forearm couldn't use any strength, so she held on to one arm and gasped hard. Then she felt someone lifting her up,

"Cyrus, are you okay?" the two twins' noisy voices sounded.

Cyrus sat on the ground and refused the two's support. After looking at Angus to make sure he was okay, he thanked the twins.

Fred and George squatted next to Cyrus, looking at Cyrus who looked pale and at a loss. The two of them had just passed by the lake when they saw Angus jumping into the water anxiously, then swimming towards the shore with something in his mouth. When he got closer, he saw that it was Cyrus emerging from the lake. Cyrus gradually slowed down and looked at the two of them.

"I am fine."

She dragged her wet robe to the bathroom to change. When she finished changing and went out, she found the two people waiting nearby.

Fred's voice came with some hesitation, "Cyrus...it's not that we don't want to pay attention to you. You entered Slytherin...we are worried that others will be banned from the same house because Gryffindor approaches you." People laugh.”

"We...are friends, right?"

Cyrus didn't know how to answer and looked at the two of them stupidly. Then he nodded stiffly. After receiving the response, the twins immediately became familiar with each other. The two approached and handed Cyrus a box of candies.

"This is our newly researched Bibi multi-flavor bean, which has a more amazing taste! But don't worry, we have picked out the bad taste." The two were very angry after hearing the rumors about Cyrus and thought about it for several days. How to use pranks to get back at those people.

They wanted to comfort Cyrus, but Cyrus was nowhere to be seen after class, and the Slytherins didn't talk to them. Under the expectant gazes of the two, Cyrus finally took out a small red ball and put it into his mouth.

"How about, how about it? The red color is a mixture of watermelon and strawberry flavor."

"I can't actually taste anything, I have no sense of taste."

The excitement on their faces turned visibly worse, and they looked at Cyrus very apologetically. Just as I was about to say my apology, a magnetic low voice sounded from behind me.

"Occupy the school passage, 10 points will be deducted from Gryffindor!"

The twins turned to look at Snape and took a cold breath, then were driven away by Snape's cold eyes. Before leaving, he waved to Cyrus. Snape said with an unkind expression: "Cyrus Sean, come to my office!"

Cyrus followed Snape into the cellar, and she saw the man looking at her condescendingly. The tone has a sense of irresistibility

"Explain-why is Miss Shawn still swimming in the Black Lake in November?"

Cyrus was a little surprised to see himself falling into the water. But I don’t know if Professor Snape knew all about her, or if he only saw the scene of her falling into the lake.

"...I was knocked into the water by an out-of-control Bludger."

The girl's honesty about herself softened Snape's tone.

"The Black Lake is still some distance from the Quidditch pitch. Did the Bludger fly thousands of miles just to hit you?"

The girl fell silent again, and Snape snorted from the corner of his mouth.

"Sometimes don't be too arrogant!" As a Slytherin, he couldn't solve such a trivial matter. Where was his courage to kill the beast? As a typical Slytherin, Snape was proud.

Although he often fought with Potter and the others when he was a student, he was occasionally ridiculed by his fellow students. But as a Slytherin, he knew that if he didn't show his fangs here, he would be targeted by others.

Snape was not optimistic about the girl's failure to resist in the face of humiliation and bullying, but he was somewhat thankful that the girl did not show murderous intentions after entering school.

Now he has a somewhat complicated attitude towards this girl. On the one hand, she is a student of his academy, and on the other hand, she is a dangerous factor who may be connected to the mysterious person.

"Sir...can you lend me some dragon bones?"

Snape raised his eyebrows, looked at Cyrus, and finally his eyes rested on the arm that drooped unnaturally.

Then his frown became even more twisted, and he took out a bottle of potion from the cabinet and placed it on the table. "Drink it!" His tone sounded extremely impatient, and he motioned for Cyrus to drink it in front of him. Cyrus picked up the potion and stopped just before the mouth of the bottle touched her lips.

"Sir, you have become as oblique as Dumbledore. It is true that I have no sense of taste, but my sense of smell is still quite good."

Snape watched the chair lean forward and looked at Cyrus with some interest: "Oh? What did Miss Cyrus smell?"

Cyrus was stunned for a moment when he heard the professor calling out his name. Snape seemed to realize what was wrong just now and coughed and stopped looking at her. Cyrus straightens up

"I smell nothing, Professor Snape. That's exactly the problem."

Snape didn't show any anger at being exposed, but instead had a light mocking tone.

"It seems that the smart Miss Sean has also read the content about Veritaserum in the fifth grade. Didn't you see that Miss Sean has such a love for potions?"

"Just the overestimation of a foolish student, Professor Snape."

"No wizard is born with a disability. What caused your loss of taste?" In addition to external physical destruction and removal, Snape also thought of another possibility that could destroy the human body's senses, black magic.

Cyrus clearly had no intention of answering, and Snape's patience ran out.

She took the two new bottles of potion that flew towards her, "Bone Spirit and Rejuvenating Potion...as a reward for your labor." Snape's muffled voice came out, "Slytherin never treats cowards well. If you want to be stupid, If you make friends, then go to Gryffindor."

A few days later, the Slytherin Quidditch captain was imprisoned for a month by Snape for neglecting his equipment.
