Slytherin's salvation is nothingness

"I really saw it! She is just an ugly person, and she only hides her face."

Linna and two other girls suddenly cornered Cyrus and pointed at her face. Ever since she lived in the same room with the girl, she felt uncomfortable all over. She even felt that her clothes were smelled by the girl and her dog.

Maybe Cyrus himself didn't realize that he had an unmistakable smell of blood all year round. Although she cleaned up every night after arriving at Hogwarts, the chilling aura she developed from fighting wild beasts in the forest could not be concealed.

As Cyrus's roommate, Linna became a little afraid of this girl, a girl who was usually taciturn and whose whereabouts were unpredictable except in class. There is no trace of her life in the dormitory. When she gets up every day, she faces a bed that looks like no one has slept on it.

This weird feeling became more and more unbearable for Lina, and she wanted to get rid of this person! This time I found an opportunity to corner Cyrus.

"Hey! Are you covering your face because you're afraid of being laughed at?"

"I think you sneaked into the school by yourself. How can a wizard not be able to cast a spell? I have never seen a wizard who is blind, hahaha!"

"She never takes off the bandage, there must be something wrong!"

Linna became more and more excited as she spoke, and some students joined in the fun. A Slytherin boy named Kerry even took out his wand and joked, "How about I show you how to use the wand." Then he fired a tower at Cyrus that could make people dance uncontrollably. Rontella danced the spell, and Cyrus just turned his head slightly and hid, and even looked at Kerry with interest.

Several people were angry at Cyrus's provocation, and they all took out their wands and pointed them at Cyrus. Just when the fight between several people was about to break out, Professor McGonagall shouted angrily: "What are you doing! Stop it!"

Lina clicked her tongue impatiently, and then said to Professor McGonagall, who was walking over in a hurry: "We are teaching her to use the wand, otherwise it will embarrass Slytherin! Professor." Several classmates next to her also nodded, but they couldn't hide it. A disgusted look at Cyrus.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and looked at Kerry with a serious expression: "Mr. Frant, is it teaching to cast a dancing prank spell on your classmates? If you cast a curse on your classmates, Slytherin will deduct 20 points! And you guys , I saw clearly the action of pulling out the wand just now! Now, follow me to your dean!"

Then Mag turned to Cyrus who was next to him and was about to say a few words of comfort.

"Excuse me - why is Professor McGonagall lecturing the Slytherin students?"

Cyrus subconsciously turned his head to look at the source of the sound. After Lina and the others were deducted points, they wanted to bite Cyrus to death on the spot when they thought of facing the terrifying Dean of Slytherin. Seeing Cyrus turn his head, Lina was stunned. He reached towards the bandage tied behind her head.

Snape saw the corridor full of students and walked quickly, thinking about deducting points from the students. Seeing Professor McGonagall standing in front of several Slytherin students with a serious look on her face, Snape immediately noticed the figure holding a shoulder-length dog on his back.

What's going on? The pace is faster. Just after he asked what happened, the girl who turned to him suddenly stopped.

Then the tight bandage on her face was torn off from behind. The white bandage gradually fell off, and horrific scars appeared in everyone's eyes. The students facing Cyrus gasped. Even Professor McGonagall was so shocked that she was stunned for a moment. Lina was still smug and wanted to step forward and laugh.

Then Linna saw the nightmare that appeared in her dreams over and over again every night in the future. She felt that this person could not be called a human face from the tip of his nose.

The hideous scars were criss-crossed in various directions, one covering the other. The skin that should have been flesh-colored turned purple and black. Those creepy scars of different thicknesses and lengths were reflected in Lina's pupils. The owner of those scars had a cold face, her eyes closed, and she approached Lina step by step. Just when Lina was leaning against the wall and unable to escape,

“Does it look good?”

The words were calm and calm, but they made everyone shiver.

At this time, Lina was so frightened that her face twitched. Cyrus turned around expressionlessly and calmly took out a brand new bandage and wrapped it under the complicated eyes of everyone.

Looking at Snape who was already standing very close to her, the wand he was holding tightly in his hand was a little glaring. Cyrus said in a voice that could only be heard by two people:

"If I want to—sir, do you think you can stop me?"

The veins on Snape's hands popped out, and he squeezed out from his mouth, "Professor McGonagall, please take these students to the infirmary!" Then he grabbed Cyrus by the collar and almost carried her. Drag into the office.

The door slammed shut, and Cyrus was pressed against the wall. Snape bent down and held her shoulders, raising his wand with his other hand and pressing it against her slender neck. Their faces were very close, and the smell of bitter herbs mixed with the smell of blood. From time to time, the sound of claws scratching the stone wall could be heard from outside the door.

"Who are you! And what's your purpose! I don't know what Dumbledore thought about letting you enter the school. Do you think you can get away with it like he did 6 years ago after killing someone?"

Cyrus felt the wand pressed against her neck getting harder and harder, as if it was about to pierce her throat. The cold and waveless voice surrounded Snape's ears, "I won't do anything. Even if Professor Snape doesn't stop me, I will be killed by Dumbledore at the moment of murder. I said, I don't want to do it yet. die."

"As for who I am... I am Cyrus, and I am just Cyrus." The girl's ever-changing expression showed a trace of sadness. "I must have never been your student in the eyes of Professor Snape, but a person who should be A murderer sent to Azkaban."

Snape stopped the venom that was about to blurt out. He didn't seem to know his own definition of the girl in front of him. She shows incomparable abilities at her age, but loves learning more than any other student. If he hadn't witnessed her courage and strength in killing four adult wizards without hesitation, he might have thought that this was just a more precocious child.

The hideous scars on the girl's face reappeared in his mind, and Snape felt that he might have had some preconceptions. If the situation just happened to other students, he would only think it was the legitimate defense of a bullied person. What's more, she didn't do anything.

The hand holding Cyrus gradually let go, and Snape turned his back. "Do you know the formula of the scar removal potion..." Cyrus waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and he didn't care whether Snape saw it or not. She hesitated and asked, "Professor Snape, what do you think of blood theory?"

Snape thought that the girl was conflicted about her identity because of the rumors. "I have said before that Slytherin has always pursued strength and glory, rather than foolishly listening to rumors!"

"I expressed it wrong. Whether it is Gryffindor or Slytherin, or even this world, I have never had a sense of belonging or identity. Do you feel that the strangers passing by on the road, your students, or Are Professor McGonagall and the others the same existence to you?"

Snape crossed his arms and looked at the girl. He was not prepared to answer the question, but waited for the girl to continue speaking.

Cyrus understood, "To me, it's the same. It doesn't matter whether it's a person, an animal, or an inanimate object. It makes no difference to me. You never get hurt because of a stone on the roadside. Throw a death curse at it, right? I can sense malice, but I don't care."

"With Dumbledore here, you don't have to worry about me doing anything outrageous. Do you remember, Angus is the only reason for me to live. But if one day... I lose the reason to live - what do you think? At that time, will I still be afraid of Dumbledore's power?"

The person standing in front of Snape seemed to be no longer a first-year elementary school student, but the Dark Lord who had put Britain into panic back then. It's not that she's inactive or that she's low-key and cowardly.

But it's not the moment when she has to reveal herself. When she takes the initiative to show her fangs, no matter who she faces, she will have to withstand a fatal blow like a sharp sword.

Over the next few days, Slytherin's various pranks on Cyrus stopped. Since Cyrus didn't take action against Lena and others, no one punished her.

Linna and others were punished by copying school rules and put into solitary confinement. But the buzz around her became louder, and most people began to avoid her. Professor McGonagall had wanted to talk to Snape about Cyrus, but Snape was the same as Dumbledore. Once the subject of this girl comes up, he either passes it off with a few perfunctory words or says nothing.

Lina Shafique and her small team have not caused any trouble for Cyrus. Lina now hides in other people's dormitories every day, and Cyrus finally has a few days of peace. But every time it was breakfast time, there would be a lot of shouting letters surrounding Cyrus. How could the favored little ancestor of his family give up when he was wronged at school? Is this a pureblood who is superior to others?
