Slytherin's salvation is nothingness

The girl understood what Snape meant and seemed to relax a little. She stood up slowly and walked towards the door slowly, walking extremely slowly. Just when Snape felt that he could not control the fingers holding the wand, the girl suddenly turned around and threw a pebble in her hand, knocking off Snape's wand.

Petrification made it increasingly difficult for him to control the magic in his body, and his wand was knocked out. Snape immediately wanted to get up but his lower body was completely petrified and he fell to the ground. But the girl didn't attack him like before, she just stood quietly.

Is she waiting for me to be completely petrified and unable to resist? Snape looked at the girl, who was calm and rational when facing a superior enemy, waiting patiently for the opportunity like a python hiding in the dark. Deliver a fatal attack at the moment the enemy is relaxed.

When Snape felt like he couldn't move his neck, the girl removed the bandage from her eye and walked towards him. Instead of the blood-red pupils that Snape had seen before, the girl's eyes were as blue and clear as the sea.

An expressionless girl with no emotion in her eyes. Eyeballs as exquisite as glassware are so empty. If it weren't for the slight heaving of his body due to the injury, he would have looked like a lifeless puppet. Snape thought of the previous scene. Was this girl also humming a song without emotion while taking the life of a man on the ground?

Seeing that the girl made no movement, she stood in front of him and observed quietly. Snape said sarcastically: "If you want to do it, hurry up. You were not so hesitant when you killed someone just now." The girl did not feel angry at Snape's provocation. She squatted down and got close to the man on the ground, seemingly not taking any precautions. .

"Do you want me to kill you?"

The girl's voice is young and cold, and her sentences are devoid of any emotion or pause. As if she was afraid that Snape wouldn't understand, she added: "I can kill you. If you want."

There was a moment of silence, and the girl who seemed to get Snape's answer tilted her head slightly, "So you don't want to die." Then Snape saw the girl's eyes gradually turn red, and they were blood red again.

The moment her eyes changed, a vague spell flew toward her eyes. The girl did not dodge, and the spell left a wound on her forehead. The wound sloped downward from the girl's eyebrow until it reached the tip of her nose.

Snape could not use too powerful a spell, and now his whole body was severely petrified. He used the only magic power he could control to turn into a sharp blade, but it could not accurately aim at the girl's eyes. As if she couldn't feel the pain, the girl looked into Snape's dark eyes. Then her eyes slowly turned scarlet, and blood overflowed from the corners of her eyes. Then the girl's eyes gradually turned back to their original blue color, but were filled with bloodshot eyes.

"I don't want to kill you either."

Snape watched the girl who finally showed any emotion turn around and leave after saying this. He slightly felt that the petrified state of his body was weakening. She unpetrified herself. He felt it carefully and found that it would take about an hour to move. At this time, he glanced at the girl who walked to the door to open the door. The corners of his mouth turned down, as if he said it with great reluctance.

"If you don't want to vomit blood and die, the cabinet against the wall...the fourth one in the second row, drink it!"

Then he saw the girl at the door staring at him for a long time, her petrified state not as stiff as the current atmosphere. He turned his head and snorted coldly and stopped looking.

As a master of potions, it was very easy for him to poison people silently. But I didn't expect that this girl would still be able to attack after being poisoned. Snape muttered "Dangerous monsters!" Then he heard the sound of rummaging through cabinets and opening potions, and then mixed with the sound of raindrops hitting the eaves outside and a biting cold wind,

"Thank you"

These two words passed through the dark and cold room, making the petrified body tremble.

When he was basically able to move, he got up and contacted Dumbledore and then lay down on the sofa. Not long after, a flame appeared in the dark and damp room. An old man wearing a blue nightgown appeared, with a phoenix with bright feathers on his shoulders.

The old man watched him fall on the sofa without saying a word, and his blue eyes behind his half-moon glasses glanced around solemnly. Neither of them spoke, and Snape's face turned dark. The old man stretched out his hand slightly and took out a chair to sit on.

"What happened, Severus?"

"Pensive Pensieve" Snape seemed unwilling to waste another word. After the old man took out the Pensieve, he pressed his wand against his temple. Then a ray of silver light was pulled out of his wand and shaken into the basin. Looking at the man who said nothing after doing this, the old man frowned and put his head into the basin.

Ten minutes later, Dumbledore appeared in the house again: "I didn't see her at the alley just now. There were only four corpses with smashed heads. The corpses were still petrified, but it was useless even if they were lifted... It seems that the child went back again, leaving no one alive... and took the puppy named Angus with him."

"There are still magic waves remaining in that area, but they can no longer be traced. It seems that she used some means of shielding magic, but this is unlikely. She should have entered some place that blocks perception."

Dumbledore's eyes under his half-moon glasses looked out the window, and his tone was no longer as relaxed as usual. Snape rubbed his still numb arms and said in a serious tone: "I don't think a child under 6 years old can do this, but there are no traces of Polyjuice Potion or Transfiguration on her body! Also! Those eyes..."

The two fell into silence again, as if they didn't want to recall the owner of the scarlet pupils like that girl. Dumbledore closed his eyes and seemed to be breathing slightly heavier: "Severus, do you remember our previous conversation?"

Snape seemed to have been stabbed in his weakness, and he glared at Dumbledore with sharp eyes: "I said I would do anything for her, anything! I don't need you to remind me again and again!" Snape didn't even look at the old man. He answered as if he was thinking about something.

"What should we do with that girl? Even the greatest wizard in the world can't find her?" Dumbledore returned to his smiling face, "Severus, you can't expect a centenarian to go there. Searching all over England to find a little girl. But I will seek help from my old friends."

Dumbledore walked in front of Snape and looked at him. Snape hated being scrutinized and said: "The petrified state is almost healed, so there is no need for Principal Dumbledore to be so concerned! As for this The ability to petrify people and freely control the release... I don't think even Dumbledore can do it."

"It seems like tonight has left us with a lot of questions, doesn't it? I don't know any more than you do. Severus."

After Dumbledore left, Snape also went to check the area, and just as Dumbledore said, he found no trace of the girl.

The next day, relevant news appeared in the Daily Prophet, "Four wizards were hit by a petrification spell and brutally killed!" The murderer is missing. "There are no more reports in the news. Snape and Dumbledore did not participate in the Auror investigation.

They had a tacit agreement to stay away from the matter and investigate secretly. Of course, there were no witnesses and no more evidence. To outsiders, it looks like these four stone statues suddenly appeared. Afterwards, Auror discovered through investigation that the four people were dark wizards, and the whole incident was summed up as a death duel between dark wizards. No one will care about the life or death of the dark wizard, and will only be glad that such danger has not befallen them.

The investigation on this girl was not going well, and Snape could find no clues at all. The Spider Alley where he was was not a safe place to begin with, so it was natural for a dark wizard to exist. Dumbledore kept silent about the matter, and as time passed, Snape continued to return to the academy to teach. He no longer focused on tracing the girl's whereabouts, and the melodious and clear humming in the rain that night gradually became blurred in his mind and forgotten.
