Slytherin's salvation is nothingness

Sellers' academic progress has already exceeded that of her grade, and her excellent performance in the classroom is obvious to all. Every professor also likes such a student who excels in studies and doesn't cause trouble. Gradually, everyone in Slytherin became more convinced of Cyrus, and coupled with the absolute loyalty shown by prefect Kate to Cyrus, her right to speak in Slytherin is now second only to Dean Professor Snape.

The Quidditch game started, and before the game she also hinted to Flint intentionally or unintentionally not to let the players break the rules during the game. Didn't Slytherin's glory come from his own strength? Saracha would definitely be sad to see him.

Not only did she want to show support for her college because of her position, but she also wanted to pay attention to Zillo's plot against Harry. During the competition, the contestant's broom was out of control. At the critical moment when the broom was about to fall, the students from the enemy college came to help. The favor of other colleges could also increase. Zillo was really helpful.

Cyrus walked into the Quidditch players' tent to greet Flint and others, and then walked to the Gryffindor players' tent. Her green and black wizard's robe stood out among the red.

Ignoring the gazes of others, Cyrus walked up to the twins first: "Come on, George, Fred. I'm looking forward to the game between Gryffindor and Slytherin. You will find that they are different from before."

The two scratched their heads: "Cyrus, could it be that you are a traitor to Slytherin, why are you here?"

"I'm just here to support my friends. Harry, I also wish you a successful first game. I heard Flint say that Gryffindor got a good Seeker. But Slytherin will not show mercy. "Yes." Harry was a little nervous. This was his first Quidditch match. He hurriedly thanked Cyrus and followed everyone away. ·

Cyrus first showed his face in the area where Slytherin students were watching the game, and then walked through the crowd to the area where teachers were watching the game.

Professor Snape and Quirrell sat together, "Professor Snape, Flint just asked me to convey to you the newly changed game strategy." Cyrus approached blatantly and sat down with Quirrell and Snape. middle.

"Professor Quirrell, do you like Quidditch very much?" Quirrell moved to the side at a loss, "It's okay."

Cyrus blinked at Snape, who looked gloomy, and continued to observe the game. When the time was almost up, Cyrus turned towards Snape, trying to block him from seeing Quirrell cast the spell.

I have created excellent conditions for you, Chilo, don't fail. Cyrus's attention was entirely on Harry, and he didn't realize that he was so close to Snape. Snape frowned and tried to move away from Cyrus but his body did not move.

The faint smell of blood on Cyrus's body had disappeared, and the smell of blue wind chimes, not heavy and clear, lingered faintly on the tip of Snape's nose.

"I guess the viewing angle from the teachers' seats isn't as exciting as the Slytherin seats!"

Cyrus turned her head, the tip of her nose brushing against Snape's shoulder, who moved imperceptibly.

Cyrus didn't react at all. "Sir, has your leg been healed?" Snape glanced at his shoulder from the corner of his eye. "Does Miss Slytherin not know the effect of her healing spell?"

Cyrus did not disappoint. While Harry was chasing the Golden Snitch, the broom under him suddenly shook up and down uncontrollably.

There were also exclamations from the audience, and Snape's eyes became a little panicked, staring at Harry and preparing to recite a spell.

Seeing Snape's panicked eyes, Cyrus narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Harry struggling on the broom, and there was a flash of danger in his eyes.

A slender hand rested on Snape's arm and pulled him, and just as his attention was diverted, Harry fell off the broom. Snape saw water emerging from the palm of the left hand of the girl next to him, and the water quickly swam in the direction below where Harry fell.

A layer of mesh gathered in the air to catch Harry's whereabouts. Cyrus's left hand trembled slightly. It was not like she could gather magic power and release it instantly like killing a beast. Controlling the water flow and Harry's weight made her feel a little burdened. The hand holding Snape's hand was also slightly firm.

The water grid slowly fell to the ground and sank into the earth, and Harry was placed firmly on the ground. Seeing that Harry was fine, everyone saw that the water flow just came from Cyrus and clapped their hands.

Cyrus breathed out and murmured softly, "I finally understand why you hate him so much." At this time, she found that she was still holding Snape's arm, and the latter's frown could pinch her to death.

"Sorry sir, I was a little nervous just now." Snape saw that Cyrus' left hand was still shaking slightly.

"Go to my office to get the potion in a moment."

He and a group of professors came to the center of the Quidditch field. Harry was not injured and the game was ended early. Slytherin won the game, and although everyone felt unwilling to do so, the Slytherins did not use any dirty tricks in this game. Cyrus also rescued Harry, and no one raised any objections.

Snape also gave 50 points to his college because of Cyrus' timely rescue of his classmates. Everyone was more concerned about the magic spell Cyrus had just used than the academy scores.

A group of Gryffindors surrounded her on the court, and the twins put their hands on Cyrus's shoulders one by one: "Cyrus, what spell did you just use? Can you teach us?"

Harry was also in front of Cyrus, "Thank you Cyrus, I don't know what happened just now, the broom was out of control."

Ron and Hermione also ran off the stage and squeezed through the crowd to get in. Snape's eyes twitched: "Miss Slytherin suffered a serious loss of magic power in order to save some idiot who couldn't even control a broom. Now, come to the office with me to get the potion!"

When everyone saw Snape, they all made way for him. Cyrus quickly escaped from the crowd and followed Snape. "Thank you sir for helping me out. It seems that Gryffindor students are a little too enthusiastic."

Snape looked disgusted, "Huh! You're just a stupid lion!" Cyrus joked: "Yes, yes, we are the snake king of Slytherin." Snape is the dean of Slytherin, and his student is a junior Snake, then isn't he the Snake King?

Snape didn't seem to hate this title, with a hint of curvature at the corner of his mouth. The girl tilted her head and looked at Snape, "You are from Slytherin, so...you should pay more attention to your students in the future."

Snape glanced at Cyrus, who was looking innocent at the side, "Is Miss Slytherin saying that I don't do my duty as Head of House?"

The girl smiled gently, "You are our most respected dean."

"Stop saying those useless compliments!"

"Then I'm saying in my heart that you can't hear me. Can't I even praise you appropriately, Professor?"

"Miss Slytherin, do you think you are too noisy?"

Cyrus drank the potion. She did not find the bitter potion unpleasant to drink. Having lost her sense of taste for many years, she found this stimulation quite interesting.

Snape was a little amused for a moment when he saw Cyrus pouting his lips like he was tasting delicious food, but he quickly put it down. "Why did you go to the teacher's seat to watch the game?"

Cyrus couldn't think of any good reason at the moment: "The smell of garlic on Professor Quirrell's body is too strong. I'm afraid it will stink sir."

Snape seemed to be used to her sometimes being irrational, "You warned me to be careful about Professor Quirrell earlier."

Cyrus nodded, "I can see magic in my eyes, and there's something wrong with the magic in him. I can't describe what it is exactly, but it's different from everyone else's."

Cyrus could only remind him so far. Snape's tone seemed less stiff and cold: "I understand, you can go."

Soon, Christmas arrives. Cyrus looked at the various gifts piled up in the room with two dark circles under his eyes. The owl didn't stop all night. Cyrus is now very famous both inside and outside school.

In addition, Cyrus has outstanding looks. In order to create an image, she always looks elegant and gentle in front of outsiders. More and more people want to get close to Cyrus, and now they have seized the excuse of the festival to show their favor to her.

Snap your fingers and Kull appears. "Kool, help me sort out the gifts and make a list." Cyrus wasn't sure who to give gifts to. She thought that whoever would give her gifts this year would send back something of similar value, but it turned out that it was too much. . But she sent a few people away last night.

She gave each of the twins a pendant that could cast a protective spell. This time, it really could only cast a protective spell, which could be used about five times.

Then he braided a lot of black hairbands with unicorn hair, and decorated them with silver rings and hairbands to give to Salazar. Although he looked handsome with his hair loose, for him who often lowered his head to write research Said it was too much trouble. Salazar didn't lack anything, so Cyrus could only make small things that he wouldn't usually pay attention to.

Then he gave Grindelwald a white scarf, which looked great with his black lapel coat.

What was given to Snape were several books on dark magic from the Slytherin mansion. Mr. Snape seemed to be very fond of dark magic. Maybe he and Salazar will have a lot in common in the future.

"Master, it's all sorted." Kull handed Cyrus a piece of parchment filled with writings. Cyrus had a headache just looking at it...

I took a rough look at it, except for some gifts from pure-blood families and strange students. The twins gave themselves many prank gadgets they made, and Harry and others also gave themselves gifts.

Ron gave a box of chocolate frogs, Hermione gave a Muggle book "Shakespeare's Sonnets", and Harry also bought many snacks as gifts. Do they think they are old bees...

Cyrus took out the warm-up badge he made and asked the owl to deliver it to the three of them. Hagrid also gave unexpected gifts. He gave feathers and beards to many magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest. Although Cyrus does not lack these at all, he is also planning to return the gift with a book on raising magical creatures.

Draco's gift was an expensive sapphire, the same color as Cyrus' eyes. She thought for a moment, then took out a silver dagger engraved with a small snake from the ring and gave it to Draco.

Snape's gift was a thick stack summarizing in detail the improved methods for brewing various potions. It seems that the husband likes his gift very much. Grindelwald's gift was a piece of parchment stating that Cyrus had become the official governor of Durmstrang.

It's really a great gift. The identity of the school director can decide all major affairs of the school. Mr. Malfoy spent a lot of gold and galleons when he wanted to become the school director of Hogwarts.

Salazar gave himself a small silver snake earring. Cyrus held it and looked at it for a long time, and his expression gradually turned bad. Salazar put a basilisk inside and brought it to himself... As long as Cyrus inputs magic power, the snake-shaped earrings will turn into a basilisk.

Originally, Cyrus was going back to Slytherin Mansion this Christmas, but Salazar said that he was conducting important research and asked her to stay at Hogwarts.

Then Cyrus looked at Kuhl: "Kool, when you go back, inform all the house elves that they will have 3 days per month for them to do what they want to do, whether it be resting or going out for a walk. , no work required. This is your Christmas gift, and this is my order.”

Kuhl was shocked for a while: "Master, this..."

"I will be sad if you don't accept it, Kull. You have always protected Slytherin, and now it's time for Slytherin to do something for you." Kull's two big eyes shed tears.

"Thank you Master, we will always protect the Slytherin family!" Cool and the others were not oppressed by the master like the current house elves, and Salazar would not make things difficult for them. They were all happy when they stayed in the Slytherin mansion. It was voluntary, so it was very easy for Cyrus to change some of their servility. After Kuhl left, Cyrus went to take a bath. After not sleeping well all night, he felt a little more energetic after taking a bath.

She came to the auditorium, where Harry and Ron also chose to stay in school, and the two were playing wizard chess. "Cyrus, do you want to play a few games with Ron?"

Cyrus looked at it and waved his hand to refuse: "You guys go ahead and play, I don't like playing chess. Thank you for your gift. I probably won't be able to finish all the snacks next semester." The two laughed and pointed at their chests Warm-Up Badge: "Thanks for the gift, too, Cyrus. Very warm."

Ron also said from the side: "Yeah, it's much more useful than the stinky dung eggs made by George, Fred and the others." "You can like it, I'll leave first. Let's see you at the dinner."

In the afternoon, Cyrus changed his clothes and walked into the Forbidden Forest, cleaning Angus's stone monument and the surrounding snow. Afterwards, they went deep into the Forbidden Forest. When the sky gradually darkened, Cyrus, who was covered in blood, returned to the stone tablet. The red ring flashed and the corpses of beasts were piled up. She sat cross-legged on the ground and began to deal with them one by one.

"It seems Miss Slytherin is still that way - savage."

A deep and beautiful voice like a cello came, and Snape looked at the piles of beasts with some disgust. Cyrus's face was also splattered with blood. She raised her head and smiled at Snape: "This is the Christmas gift I promised to Angus."

Snape was stunned for a moment, and he stepped forward to observe Cyrus carefully. The clothes were scratched in several places, and the wounds were not deep but still oozing blood. Not sure if there were other injuries, she looked like a bloody person, it was hard to tell whether it was her blood or the beast's.

Snape took out his wand and cast the Hemostasis Charm on the wounds. The clean water was as clear as a spring, and the quick-drying spell restored them to their original state. As the spells went down, the blood on Cyrus's body and face disappeared.

"Thank you, sir. There are only a few small wounds." The movements of his hands did not stop: "Why did you end up in the Forbidden Forest, sir?"

Snape glanced at the location of the castle and said, "Miss Slytherin is busy hunting wild beasts, so she may have forgotten the Christmas dinner."

Only then did Cyrus realize that he had wandered around the Forbidden Forest several times in search of various beasts, and now it was probably too late to eat.

"Thank you sir for coming to me. You can go ahead and wait until I finish these things for Angus."

"Hmph! Dumbledore asked me to call you. Anyway, I hate festivals."

Snape was not planning to attend this year's Christmas dinner, and Harry Potter was staying at school. She didn't want to see him angry.

Cyrus is still dealing with the beast's body, and her mind is now full of memories of Angus and her past. She didn't want to appear embarrassed in front of Snape, so she kept dealing with the beast, but found that the more depressed she became, the more uncomfortable she felt.

Then she saw from the corner of her eye that the man standing next to her also sat down, stretched out his hand with a look of disgust, "Give me a knife." Cyrus looked up at him, and Snape saw Cyrus's eyes. Then he turned his head away and said in an irritable tone: "If Miss Slytherin still wants to be in time for dinner, give me a knife."

Cyrus summoned a knife from the ring and handed it to Snape, who then handled the beast's corpse skillfully and quickly. The two of them remained silent until all the bodies were disposed of.

There were all kinds of meats placed in front of the stone tablet, and Cyrus said softly: "Merry Christmas, Angus... I hope you stay safe and sound where I can't see you."

The two of them walked on the path of the Forbidden Forest, "Thank you, sir. I seem to always owe you a favor."

Snape said nothing, he kept thinking about the scene just now. The girl who had been dealing with the beast looked sad. She raised her head and looked at herself, tears welling up in her eyes but trying not to let them flow out.

The girl who was gentle, elegant and strong in front of everyone seemed to have turned back into the girl who hugged Angus and cried silently by the lake two years ago. He could always vaguely see in the girl the same version of himself who cried bitterly while holding his dead beloved, and he felt a little... heartbroken.

When they returned to the castle, the auditorium was deserted, and they completely missed the dinner. Snape was thinking about going back to the office to find something to eat, but the girl next to him slipped a note to him.

"Sir, it doesn't matter if you missed the Christmas dinner at Hogwarts. I'll make it up to you."

Unfolding the note, an address suddenly appeared in his mind - Slytherin Mansion. Cyrus snapped his fingers and Kull appeared in front of the two. "Master." Cyrus held Snape's arm with one hand and held Cool with the other.

"Kool, take us back to Slytherin House."
