Slytherin's salvation is nothingness

When Cyrus woke up again, he saw himself lying on the bed. Snape sat on the chair and closed his eyes to rest. His breathing was steady and his chest was rising and falling slightly, as if he was asleep.

She looked at the bed under her body. It was made by her husband using the transformation technique last night. She was still in the study room last night. Only then did she remember that her husband didn't know where her bedroom was. It was probably a temporary bed.

He got up and walked out of bed and came to Snape. Sir, why did he come? Isn't he angry? Or is there something wrong with the research I brought him last night?

She looked at the parchment next to her. There were many marks and notes on it. Has Sir been looking at these since he came last night? She noticed the dark circles on Snape's face and couldn't look away. Mr.’s eyelashes are really long, he has double eyelids, and his hooked nose is straight and very beautiful.

After staring like this for a long time, Cyrus tiptoed out of the room and gently closed the door. After the door was closed, Snape's originally closed eyes suddenly opened, and then he raised his hands to cover his eyes with his palms, revealing the reddish auricles in his hair.

The body fragrance of the girl just now surrounded the tip of his nose, and she could still feel her breath on his cheeks, recalling the soft and light body of the girl last night again.

He received the parchment from Kull last night and found that it was a thick stack of research on solving the effects of werewolf transformation. He asked Kul what Cyrus had been doing recently, but Kul hesitated and only said that his master had not rested recently.

He hadn't seen Cyrus since that night in Hogsmeade, and he didn't know how to face this girl who had seen the trajectory of his life. By accident, she arrived at the Slytherin mansion and saw her sleeping on the table.

I don't understand Cyrus's thoughts more and more. She has done too much, and maybe few people in the wizarding world can achieve her level of success. But she is still busy, whether at school or during the summer vacation.

Snape noticed that the girl was getting brighter and brighter in his eyes, becoming more and more out of reach.

"Sir, you're awake. Let's have breakfast first." Cyrus' appearance interrupted Snape's inner struggle, and the girl came over with two plates of sumptuous English breakfast. The two of them were silent and finished their breakfast quietly.

Cyrus sat opposite Snape, and she looked at the notes Snape had written. Snape's brain was running wildly at this time, but he couldn't think of what to say to the girl, and he even didn't want to make any eye contact with the girl.

"Sir, your notes are very helpful. It seems that we have to rely on you for potions. According to the current progress, there should be no problem in formulating a more effective wolfsbane potion. But the benefits brought by this are too small. Now, I have mastered how to transform animals in the Animagus state into humans through magic.

I believe that with more experiments, we can make a potion to stop werewolf transformation. It's a pity that wolf's poison penetrates deeply into the blood and cannot completely transform into humans. The most they can do is prevent them from turning into werewolves during the transformation period. But this is enough. "

Seeing that the girl spoke first to break the deadlock, Snape said: "It seems that Miss Slytherin's next target is the werewolf group."

Cyrus was noncommittal, "Werewolves are a group full of uncertainty, and most of them can't help themselves. If they can no longer be affected by transformation, the probability of infecting other people will be greatly reduced."

Cyrus looked away and looked at Snape, "Sir, are you willing to help me?" Snape turned slightly sideways to avoid the two of them looking directly at each other, and said "hmm" lightly.

The two were busy again, and no one mentioned the quarrel at Hogsmeade at night. Cyrus also took Snape to see Fenrir, who looked desperate, and then began to study potions again.

As the holiday draws to a close, their research is coming to an end. "That's enough. Then we just need to release the news and go to the Ministry of Magic to get confirmation."

Cyrus sat on the chair tiredly. School was about to start and he needed to deal with Sirius' case. How could he successfully take away Wormtail and the Dementors in front of everyone's witness... thinking about Cyrus. Si frowned.

"Miss Cyrus seems troubled." Snape would occasionally call Cyrus by his given name when they were alone.

Cyrus rubbed his eyebrows, and then the scowl on his face immediately disappeared, and he joked to Snape: "School is about to start. Isn't this a problem for every student?"

Snape snorted coldly: "I have to see idiots with incomplete brain development every day again."

Cyrus laughed, "Are you talking about Harry? It's true that you don't like him. Out of sight is out of mind, so just look at me more. I shouldn't be that stupid."

"Then please Miss Cyrus stop saying such idiotic things."

"Okay, Mr. Severus."

"Sir, please take me back to Hogwarts in a moment. There's no need to catch the train." Cyrus didn't want to encounter those dementors.

"I'm going to Diagon Alley to buy medicinal materials." Cyrus stood up and went to pack his luggage, "I'll accompany you."

Then Cyrus turned into a young male Sean again and appeared with a suitcase, "Let's go, Severus." Snape tapped his wand on her head with a gloomy look, "Please respect your professor. .”

Cyrus touched his head and said, "I am your good friend now, Severus. Let's go!" Before Snape could react, Cyrus took his hand and apparated to Diagon Alley. After the two of them stood still, Snape shook off her hand and moved forward quickly. Cyrus didn't take it seriously and continued to follow.

I originally wanted to ask Snape to have a drink with me at the Leaky Cauldron to celebrate the success of improving the Wolfsbane potion, but thinking that Harry and others should be there at this time, it was better not to get angry again.

Cyrus, who was thinking deeply, walked into the medicine shop with Snape. "Wait for me outside." Snape blocked Cyrus.

Although he was confused, Cyrus did as he was told, "Well, sir, please take your time and watch. I'm right outside." Cyrus leaned against the wall and thought about the follow-up plan, but was interrupted by a soft female voice:

"Um, excuse me. Please..." Cyrus was about to express his habitual refusal when he turned around and saw Ginny.

"What's the matter, Miss?" Cyrus showed a perfect gentle smile, "Ah, it's really you. I wonder if you still remember that you helped me at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore last year." Ginny's cheeks turned red and she looked at Cyrus's blue eyes were slightly lost in thought.

"Of course, you careless lady." "My, my name is..." "Ginny, Ron and the others are waiting for you." Hermione also walked over.

It's really troublesome... At this moment, Snape walked out. Cyrus put his arm around Snape's shoulders and said, "Severus, you are finally done. Come on, let's go to the Three Broomsticks for a drink."

She kept sending glances to Snape, who was about to launch venom, and pulled him away. He turned back to Ginny and said, "Nice to meet you, Miss Ginny. Goodbye."

Ginny and Hermione looked at the backs of them leaving. Ginny said silently: "I don't know your name yet..." Hermione was also confused, "Is that person a friend of Professor Snape?"

"Mr. Sean, please explain to me why as an adult male you would seduce a school student?"

Snape gritted his teeth and said every word, and Cyrus looked very helpless. "Sir, please don't tease me. I helped Ginny a year ago, but she still remembers it." "Is it an unintentional help? Or did Mr. Sean happen to appear there again? Mr. Sean is really charming.”

Cyrus waved his hand and took advantage of the fact that no one was around to release the transformation spell: "Sir, why are you comparing yourself to an elementary school student?" Snape glanced at Cyrus and said,

"Transform back!" Cyrus scratched his head and used the transformation technique again. "Sir, when did you become so - fickle?" "Shut up." After a while, the two came to Hogsmeade, "Come on, sir, go have a drink at the Three Broomsticks!" Cyrus pulled Si. Nep walked into the bar.

Unexpectedly, I saw acquaintances, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick and Dumbledore were all there.

"Oh, Severus, I didn't expect you to come too. Come sit here with your friends." Snape was about to leave when Cyrus stopped him, "Let's go, Severus. Let me introduce you, my friend." Snape looked at Cyrus, who had a wicked look on his face, and then at Dumbledore. The old and the young...

Cyrus and Snape sat down side by side. Snape said reluctantly, "This is Sean, my... friend." Dumbledore first shook hands with Cyrus with a smile.

"Hello, Sean. My name is Albus Dumbledore. It's rare to see Severus out with his friends."

Cyrus also pretended to be pretentious, with an enthusiastic look on his face, "Hello Mr. Dumbledore, my name is Bert Sean. But I prefer others to call me Sean directly. Severus and I have known each other a long time ago, But then I moved to Germany. I just came back recently." Then he also greeted McGonagall and Flitwick.

Firewhiskey was called for the two of them, and Snape had been drinking quietly on the side. Cyrus suddenly said, "Severus recently developed a new and improved version of Wolfsbane potion, so I came here to celebrate with him."

"That is a major research result. Congratulations Severus."

Several people toasted to Snape in celebration. Snape glanced at Cyrus with a sharp look, clinked glasses with them, and said stiffly, "Thank you."

The atmosphere was getting better and better, and Snape would occasionally say a word or two. The group drank more and more until late at night.

"Okay Severus, let's go back to school first. Take care of Sean." Dumbledore helped Professor Flitwick, who was walking a little unsteadily, and McGonagall was walking beside him.

Saying goodbye to the three of them, Cyrus picked up the wine glass and drank the remaining wine in one gulp. "It seems that being a professor is quite good. Occasionally I go out to drink and chat with my colleagues."

Snape touched the edge of the wine glass with his index finger, "What kind of professor does Miss Cyrus want to be in the future?"

"The medical staff in the school infirmary, like Madam Pomfrey... Haha, just kidding." Seeing that Snape seemed to have heard something incredible, Cyrus changed his words: "Maybe Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, no, sir. I should go for it. Then should I be the Potions Professor? Otherwise, I should be the Headmaster. By then, Hogwarts will be Slytherin’s world.”

Snape also joked, "Then thank you Miss Cyrus for your humility."

Cyrus stretched out and said, "Let's go too, sir." The two stood up. Cyrus couldn't stand still and staggered a little. Snape grabbed him. "I thought Miss Cyrus was a drinker."

Cyrus stood up and said, "It's better than sir, isn't it?" The two walked out of the bar. Cyrus had returned to his original appearance. When he saw Cyrus walking in vain, Snape clicked his tongue and held her shoulders.

Let Cyrus's weight rest on him, "It seems that Miss Cyrus is not suitable for drinking alone." Cyrus's height has now reached Snape's neck. She turned slightly to Snape, with a warm feeling. The alcohol-smelling breath hit the man's Adam's apple, "Thank you, sir. From now on, you will also drink with me."

Cyrus was helped into the potion office by Snape. Cyrus sat on the sofa and looked at Snape who was brewing the hangover potion. "I have always liked it here. The rows of potion bottles are like crystals, so special." nice."

Snape stirred the potion in the cauldron. "Has Miss Cyrus started talking nonsense?" Cyrus held his head and sighed, "It would be great if it could always be like this..."

"I can help you."

Snape still had his back to Cyrus, "I guess being your professor won't hold you back. It's not just you who has to fulfill your promise."

"Sir is always helping me."

Snape filled the potion and gave it to Cyrus, who drank it in one gulp. "You know I don't mean the help from the potion." Cyrus looked at the potion bottle in his hand.

"Did you add new materials? Did you go to Diagon Alley to buy those today? Thank you. The effect is indeed better than before."

Seeing Snape turning his back to him and fiddling with herbs as if he was very busy, Cyrus continued: "There are some things that only Sir can do, and there are some things that Sir is not suitable for...Sir, you have always been very reliable. If I need it, you will help me." I came to ask for your help."

"Do you know the past and the future?" Snape thought for a long time before speaking. Cyrus nodded, "Yeah." Snape clenched his fists.

"Prophecies are inevitable." "What I saw is probably not a prophecy, although it has yet to be confirmed." Cyrus thought to himself that Fenrir's fate has changed. If Peter Pettigrew can be successfully killed this year, That proves that the future can be changed.

"You knew who I was from the beginning, that's why you did those things." Cyrus looked into those dark eyes, "I never cared about anyone in my memory. The strange thing is, you are the only exception."

Snape also sat down and put his hands on his face. There was no sign of happiness or sadness. "Why? Because I saved you?" Cyrus lowered his head.

"Maybe I don't know the answer either."

Cyrus stood up and said, "Sir, take a rest. I'm going back too."

After she left, Snape murmured: "Don't come... near me again."

After school started the next day, everyone was discussing the encounter with the dementors on the train. Dumbledore also introduced the newly appointed Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Remus Lupine and the Magical Creatures professor Hagrid.

Seeing Snape's eyes full of resentment as he glared at Lupin, Cyrus sighed. He was probably going to be quite angry in the next year.
