Slytherin's salvation is nothingness

Cyrus returned to the bedroom, entered the bathroom and took another shower, put on his nightgown and sat on the bed. There was nothing in her bedroom except a bed on the floor in the corner. Her long black hair hung over her shoulders, with drops of water dripping from time to time, and her blue eyes looked out the window. I don’t know what sir is doing now…

A melodious humming sounded, and I hadn’t seen Angus for a long time. Thinking of Cyrus, he stood up and said, "Kool, take me to the Forbidden Forest Lake."

Putting his hand on Kull's hand, Cyrus' other hand was held by someone at the moment of disembodiment.

By the Forbidden Forest Lake, Cyrus looked at the man who was giggling next to him, "Why are you following me?" Sirius looked around, "I thought you were going to play somewhere secretly, so of course I had to follow you."

Cyrus sighed, "You shouldn't be running around now. You are still a fugitive. It will be very troublesome to be discovered." Sirius lay down on the grass and smiled heartlessly: "What's the point? Besides, this It’s a forbidden forest, and no one comes at night.”

Cyrus stopped caring about him, came to the stone monument, said hello to Angus, and prepared to go to the Forbidden Forest to hunt a beast. "Are you going to fight wild beasts dressed like this?"

Sirius pointed at the nightgown that Cyrus was wearing. She suddenly didn't even think about changing her clothes at night. It's cool in April and May, but Cyrus is still a little skimpy in an off-the-shoulder robe. A coat with a grassy smell was put on her body, "I'll do it. How can I ask the lady to do it? Wait for me here."

Sirius patted Cyrus on the head and walked into the jungle with a proud look on his face. Cyrus sat beside the stone monument and waited quietly. Not long after, Sirius came back dragging a wild boar, "Hahaha, look how big it is. It will be enough for him to eat for a while."

Seeing that the man's hair was messy, with the leaves still stuck in his hair, and his suit also had some wrinkles, Cyrus couldn't help but chuckle. Sirius dragged the wild boar over and looked at the girl's smile, which was a little dazed, "Why do you seem to be a different person as soon as you get here..."

Cyrus took out the dagger from the ring and started skinning and deboning the wild boar. Sirius snatched it away and said, "You told me to call me." More than twenty minutes passed. Seeing that blood was splattered on his face, Cyrus was in a hurry. Rees,

Cyrus said helplessly: "It seems that your potion professor was very angry with you back then." "Tsk, that's because I forgot how to do it." Cyrus pointed to a place, "Cut sideways here and dissect directly. Of course, blood will be splashed on your face if you open it. The flesh on the back is better cut, yes, do it sideways and slowly."

Sirius looked at the girl's gentle eyes with his peripheral vision, thinking how great it would be if she had been his professor back then, and his thoughts gradually drifted away. "Hiss..." The dagger cut his finger, Sirius curled his lips and said dissatisfied: "This dagger of yours is too difficult to use."

Cyrus took the dagger and stretched his hand to Sirius' palm. Light flashed and the blood stopped. "I'll do it, there's not much left. The injured will be studying aside." The girl's movements were clean and neat, and she was done in just a few strokes. Sirius' eyelids jumped as he watched. "I was really blind. I thought you were a gentle girl like Lily..."

The girl's movements did not stop. She placed the flesh and blood in front of the stone tablet and wiped the stone tablet carefully. There was a long silence, "Lily, what kind of person is she?"

Sirius recalled: "A very beautiful girl. I didn't like her very much at first. She was always against us because of that snot-nosed guy. But after getting along for a long time...she is a simple girl with a kind heart and gentle treatment. I feel like being around her , it’s very warm.”

Cyrus stopped wiping the stone monument. Sirius thought that Cyrus finally had the emotions that an ordinary girl should have, "But I think you are more beautiful, and you are so powerful, and you are Dumbledore's daughter. With Lily, totally different."

"So the person you love is a kind and sunny girl who is a little weak and needs to be relied on..."

Cyrus' voice was very low, but it was still captured by Sirius. "Huh?? Me? I don't love her, it can only be said to be a feeling between friends. And..."

Sirius stretched his head in front of Cyrus, "I think you are more attractive to me... What's wrong with you? Hey, don't..."

Cyrus felt bad knowing that she was completely different from that person. She never thought that she would become someone important to Snape. Because she knew that her husband could only have room for that one person in his heart, but he would be unspeakably sad.

Why do I feel so happy when I am with my husband, why do I feel my heart is broken when my husband pushes me away, why do I feel so sad when I know that I am completely different from the person I love in my husband's heart. Tears gradually overflowed from the corners of Cyrus's eyes, "What is love, and what is like?"

Sirius had never seen a girl cry in front of him before, but now when he saw tears spilling from the corners of the girl's eyes, he became helpless and a little distressed. "Love...how do I know what love is like, damn it! If I like it, I probably want to be good to that person, want to play with that person, go on adventures together, and laugh together."

The girl thought about Sirius's words, and then a wet heat licked Cyrus' face. A big black dog appeared next to her and licked the tears from her eyes. The girl's eyes were blank for a moment, then she smiled: "Sirius, I'm fine."

The big black dog looked at the girl blankly. He originally thought that the girl should be a devil who came out of hell, but she was so dangerous and evil that people couldn't help but approach her. But the girl tonight had a gentle and healing smile that seemed to have swept away all the gloom in her heart. Your smile made me fall for you in a second.

Seeing that the black dog in front of him seemed to be under a petrification spell, Cyrus waved his hand to release him from the Animagus state, "What's wrong with you?" The girl's voice brought him back to reality, and he saw the girl's blue eyes again, Sirius felt like a vast, cloudless night sky. When he was about to lose consciousness again, Cyrus poked his forehead and said, "Mr. Big Black Dog, if you feel sleepy, go back and rest quickly."

Feeling the girl's cold and soft fingertips, Sirius felt a burning sensation from his neck to his ears. The girl stood up and left before he could make the next move, "Kul, take us back, it's very late."

Kull took the two of them back to the bedroom and disappeared. Cyrus looked at Sirius, who was unusually silent, and took off his coat and gave it back to him. "Thank you, Sirius, you should go and rest too."

His hand was held again, "You just asked me what love and like mean?" Cyrus felt the force on his wrist was a bit heavy and frowned: "Because I can't understand what love and like are." Sirius felt a little bit A depressed voice came, "That's why you didn't respond then..."

Cyrus looked at the man who was holding him and let go of his hand to cover his face and sighed heavily, his tone became as uninhibited as usual, "You know, Lupine actually looks very funny and shy when he's drunk. Fun!”

Sirius looked at Cyrus with a smirk on his face. She seemed a little curious but gave up. She still had a lot to do. "Forget it, I need to finish the matter as soon as possible and return to Hogwarts."

"Don't be so rigid. By the way, you haven't celebrated my acquittal yet."

"It's not too late to celebrate until the Ministry of Magic's verdict is handed down. I'm going to bed, Mr. Black."

Sirius sat directly on her bed, "Call me Sirius! Also, why is there nothing in your bedroom, even the bed is on the floor?" Cyrus rubbed his brows and called out a glass of wine, "I'm used to this. sleep."

Sirius caressed Cyrus' hand holding the wine glass and slowly poured the wine into his mouth, "Then do you need me to sleep with you?" Sirius, who was knocked out of the room by the curse, shouted dissatisfied: "Can you be gentler? , not womanly!"

Cyrus was woken up by the noise at the door early the next morning, "Sirius, you are so rude. After all, Cyrus is a girl. Don't go in and disturb her."

"What? She's over a thousand years old. I'm so bored!"

Cyrus stood up and opened the door with a gloomy look on his face, "If you don't have anywhere to vent your energy, go play with Haierbo and the others. They are so noisy early in the morning." Sirius put his arms around Cyrus's neck, "I saw Those snakes feel uncomfortable, it’s too boring here, show us around!”

Cyrus felt that Sirius was several times more noisy than the twins, "Do you want to be beaten to the ground by me again and unable to get up?"

Sirius refused, and Cyrus gave Lupine a look. Listening to Sirius's shouts as he was dragged away by Lupine, Cyrus's frown eased. She went back to her room to wash up, put on her usual black shirt, and entered the study to start working.

After a while, a big black dog broke open the door and ran in, followed by a panting Lupine. Cyrus's eyelids twitched, "Remus, this is the basic information and work content of that company. You can get a general understanding of it in the past few days. There are also some details of cooperation with other families in it. People who are just starting out may be confused. If there is a shortage, then the recruitment work will be left to you. I have already drawn up the salary package, you can see if it is suitable."

Cyrus ignored the big dog beside him and handed the document to Lupin, then picked up the black coffee and drank it. Thinking about it carefully, maybe he should find an assistant. Kate will graduate next year, and then he started writing letters to Kate.

"Cyrus, the salary is normal, but why are we still providing Wolfsbane potion..." Lupine looked at her with confusion, and Cyrus smiled.

"I said, I want you to live an honest life. You must still know friends like you. If they need a reliable job like you, maybe you can ask them to give it a try. Of course, you still need to pass the interview. I don't need people who come in and eat for free." Lu Ping opened his mouth slightly, then nodded heavily. Then he sat on the chair next to him and checked the documents carefully.

"I want to be like Remus, I have nothing to do by myself!" Sirius's voice came, and he turned back into a human and sat on the armrest of Cyrus's chair.

Cyrus kept writing in his hand, "Then what do you want to do, Mr. Big Black Dog?"

Sirius thought for a long time but still couldn't find the answer. Cyrus actually didn't know what he could do. "Then I'll help you manage the company with Remus!"

Cyrus threw a ring and said, "If you can tell me the production principle within today, then I will agree with you." Throughout the afternoon, Cyrus and Lupine were either discussing or reading information or writing. What, the big black dog next to me was observing the ring very seriously at first, but then he threw the ring around as a toy.

Cyrus looked at the big black dog rolling on the ground and mocked: "Are you going to be the canary of the Slytherin family, little dog?"

Lupine on the side covered his mouth and smiled secretly. The big black dog was stunned at first, but after reacting, he kept barking at Cyrus to express his dissatisfaction.

"Harry should really be shown what his godfather looks like..."

The big black dog next to Harry's name immediately became energetic. He turned back into a human and said, "Cyrus, let's go visit Harry! We haven't seen him since we parted ways at the Shrieking Shack."

Cyrus didn't move his gaze away from the parchment in front of him, "It's probably impossible for you to do it in person, but you can get in touch with him using an alchemy object like a double-sided mirror."

Sirius's eyes shone with anticipation, and Cyrus curled his lips: "If you promise not to disturb me in the next few days, I can help you."

"Of course, definitely, definitely!"

Cyrus gave Lupine a helpless look, as if asking him if he had always been so unreliable. Lupine's eyes were also full of helplessness. After receiving the response, Cyrus looked at Sirius, "I need you to promise me that you will not reveal the details of my rescue to Harry. I took the risk of using time shift out of my trust in you." The less people know about it, the better. Also, be sure to thank Professor Snape when you see him later."

Sirius looked dissatisfied, and was about to say something when Cyrus' eyes gave him a soft look. "I know! He's just...a snot-nosed guy..."

"Why is sir's nickname Snotlout?"

Sirius didn't see Lupine's dissuading eyes and complained: "Humph! He, he is dirty and disgusting every day. He doesn't wash his hair or take a shower. What is he if he isn't a disgusting snot?!"

A sharp blade in the air cut off a strand of black hair against his face, and Cyrus's scarlet eyes were filled with a smile: "If I hear you call sir that again. Please say goodbye to your head, Mr. Black. "

Lupine spoke from the side to ease the atmosphere, "We will definitely thank him in person, Cyrus. Those things in the past... I am not proud of."

Cyrus ignored Lupine and looked at Sirius, "I need to hear your answer, Sirius Black."

Sirius did not give in this time, "Why do you protect him so much?" Cyrus paused while writing in his hand, "He is my savior, no one can insult him in front of me."

Sirius and Lupine were both a little surprised, "When did he save you? What happened then?" Cyrus remained silent and let Sirius bark beside him. Seeing that Cyrus was unwilling to speak, Lupine kept comforting Sirius. He wanted to lose his temper but was a little timid and stopped talking after that.

Remaining silent was the norm for Cyrus, and speaking was the most uncomfortable thing for her. In the end, she won the game, "I know, I will thank you... Snape!"

Cyrus smiled with satisfaction and snapped his fingers to call out Dobby. "Dobby, give this to your friend Harry. Tell him to use this to contact his godfather."

Cyrus then threw an identical mirror to Sirius and said, "Go to another room and don't make any noise here. Think about what you can and cannot say."

After Sirius left happily, Cyrus' voice sounded,

"Remus, can you tell me what happened to you back then? About you four robbers, sir...and the girl named Lily."
