Slytherin's salvation is nothingness

Sirius returned to the study with a happy face, only to see Lupine still sitting on the chair, "Where's Cyrus?" Lupine said in a tired tone, "Sirius, don't disturb her yet."

Sirius frowned, a little anxious, "What happened to her? Where did she go?" Lupine fell into silence and refused to answer any questions Sirius asked. Finally, he said vaguely, "She's not in a good mood. Give her some time."

Sirius ran out and looked around. He ran to Cyrus's bedroom but couldn't find anyone, and then ran to the dungeon. He wandered around this huge mansion, but in the end he couldn't find Cyrus. "Damn it! Kuhl! Come out quickly!!" Kuhl appeared. Before he could speak, Sirius asked anxiously: "Where is Cyrus?! Take me to find her."

Kuhl said calmly: "Master does not want anyone to disturb him. Mr. Black, please go back and rest first." Then he disappeared from the place.

At night, Cyrus dragged his exhausted body back to the room. As soon as he opened the door, he was hugged into someone's arms, "Where have you been?" Sirius hugged Cyrus without letting go. After smelling a strong smell of blood, he immediately let go and looked anxiously, "Are you injured?! What's going on? ? Remus! Come here quickly!"

Just as he was about to take her to Lupine for treatment, he was held back by the girl's cold hand, "I just went to train with Halpo and the others for a while, it's okay." Sirius was angry and anxious, and picked up Cyrus without caring about anything and ran away. Heading to the medical room, he put her on the bed and started rummaging through the medicine cabinet. Those bottles and cans are not labeled, damn it!

"Sirius, calm down, I'm fine."

Seeing that the man couldn't listen to her words at all, Cyrus sighed and got up, went to the medicine cabinet and took out a few bottles of fresh juice, then returned to the bed and took off his coat to treat the wound.

"It's just a few scratches. Compared to me, Herbo and the others were in worse condition." Sirius was speechless, but calmed down after seeing that Cyrus was not seriously injured. Lupine also walked in, and was shocked when he smelled the strong smell of blood, and came to Cyrus to treat her wounds.

"Cyrus, where have you been? Sirius has been worried about you all day." Lupine's eyes were filled with worry. Cyrus smiled and said, "I went to sparring with Herbo and the others. I haven't been active for a long time."

"Are you stupid?! Go and spar with the basilisk when you have nothing to do!" Sirius finally couldn't help it. Cyrus said nonchalantly: "I used to spar with them, it's a daily routine. . It’s just that I’ve been too busy recently and wanted to do some activities.”

"It seems that Miss Slytherin is not willing to go back to school to study even if she is bored enough to fight a basilisk."

A low voice that had not been heard for a long time came, and Cyrus turned his head sharply, "Sir! You are here." Snape stood by the door with his hands folded on his chest and his face was gloomy. Sirius beside him had already entered the explosive mode. " What are you doing here?!"

Snape's cold eyes stared at Sirius, who was baring his teeth at him, and then at Lupin, who was treating Cyrus's wounds, his brows furrowed even more gloomily.

"I'm here to convey Dumbledore's news to this stupid dog. The Ministry of Magic will make the final judgment the day after tomorrow and he needs to be present." Snape said concisely and concisely. Snape didn't seem to want to waste any more words. He just leaned forward to check on Sailor. Si's injury was blocked by Sirius.

"Got it! Let's go now!" Sirius said fiercely. The girl's eyes on him just now were so hot that Sirius was very irritated.

"Okay sir, thank you. I will go back when the verdict is over." Cyrus smiled at Snape as always, but it was very dazzling in Snape's eyes, and he felt that the girl was very alienated from him. There was nothing he could do about it. He pushed her away with his own hands, so how could he expect her to stay by his side? She deserves someone better, not her despicable self.

"Um, Professor Snape, thank you for helping us with Cyrus that day." Lupine was the first to speak, worthy of being a reliable adult male. Sirius noticed Cyrus' gaze and turned away his face and reluctantly thanked him. Normally, Snape would have ridiculed them severely.

But since he came here, his attention has been entirely focused on the girl, and he only gave them a perfunctory apology with a faint "hmm". "Tch! Pretend...just leave if you have nothing to do." Sirius still stood in front of Snape, and Snape didn't want to stay any longer. "Hmph, I'm afraid I'll be infected by stupidity if I stay in the same room with you. !" Turn around and leave.

"Professor Snape, I don't know much about herbal medicine, and I'm afraid that Cyrus's injury will be serious. Can you come over and have a look?" Lupine saw the disappointment flashing in Cyrus's eyes and gave Snape a step. .

Sirius was the first to express his dissatisfaction, "Huh?! Cyrus said she was fine, so why do you want him to do anything?" When Snape heard that the two of them called Cyrus such a good friend, his brows furrowed even more tightly and he directly bumped into each other. Kaisilis walked to the hospital bed. At this time, Lupine had already stood up and moved out of the way, dragging Sirius out of the room.

Cyrus was sitting on the higher hospital bed, and Snape was sitting in front of her. In this position, Cyrus and Snape were looking at each other. Both men immediately averted their gazes, and Snape looked at the scratches on Cyrus's arms and chest. "Why do you want to fight a basilisk?"

He took out a bottle of potion from his body and applied it to the girl's arm, touching the skin with his two fingers attached to the cold ointment. "I'm in a bad mood." Snape didn't look at the girl. He stared at her wounds and applied ointment to her carefully. "Why?" The girl fell silent, and Snape sighed, "Has the werewolf been dealt with too? I think Miss Slytherin's relationship with those two people has become very good."

Cyrus felt the force on his arm getting stronger, "It's taken care of, I need the recognition and support of the werewolves. Once Fenrir dies, I will let Remus take his place." Snape's hand After a pause, his face was as dark as ink, "Lai, Mu, Si? It turns out that you can call each other by their Christian names."

Cyrus noticed his husband's irritable mood, moved his body slightly forward and said tentatively: "Severus."

Snape's body froze, and his pupils trembled but were suppressed with all his strength. His hand with ointment reaching for the wound on the girl's chest stopped, and then fell. "Apply it on the wound every day." He quickly stood up and left.

The girl clasped the sheets with both hands and listened to the footsteps fading away. "Why did you push me away..." The weak voice accurately reached Snape's ears. He stood in front of the door with his back to the girl, who was also sitting with her back to him. The two were speechless, and then Sirius opened the door and barged in. He glared at Snape, bumped his shoulders and sat next to Cyrus.

"Cyrus, let's go eat. I see you've been busy all day. Let's go." Sirius picked up Cyrus, "My foot is not injured, please put me down."

"Then your hand is injured. I'll feed you later." Sirius didn't care what Cyrus said and still carried her out of the room. She showed an arrogant expression when she passed by Snape. When Cyrus turned back to look at Snape, her back was only left for a moment before disappearing.

"Are you sad because of him?" Sirius' voice came, not as cheerful and lively as before. Cyrus nodded, "I don't know why sir wants to stay away from me."

The hand on Cyrus's shoulder hugged her tightly, "He is so important to you? Why can't you tell me what happened before?" Cyrus said calmly: "It's not that I can't tell you, it's that I don't think it's necessary. Do I have to tell each person about my past to gain sympathy every time I meet someone?"

Sirius stood still and looked at Cyrus seriously, "What if I don't sympathize with you, but just... care about you. At least Remus and I both care about you, as your friends." Cyrus smiled. Smiling, "Friend...can you promise me one thing?" Sirius nodded, "Yes."

Cyrus frowned, "You haven't listened to me yet, aren't you afraid that I will let you inherit the Black family and submit to Slytherin?" Sirius laughed heartily, "What's the point? I don't care anyway. I can help. You're not bad either." Cyrus frowned and fell into silence, then motioned for him to put him down.

Cyrus faced Sirius, "What are you thinking about?" The man didn't answer. He approached Cyrus and put his hands on the wall. His tall figure almost completely blocked her. "I don't know what I'm thinking. Maybe I'm living for myself."

The two came to the restaurant, and Lupine sighed when he saw Sirius' depressed expression. "Cyrus, Professor Snape has gone back?" Cyrus nodded, "The day after tomorrow we will go to the Ministry of Magic to resolve Sirius's matter, and then I will return to Hogwarts. Remus, you can come back anytime. You can start working. You can live in a house near Diagon Alley. I've taken care of it. The rent will be deducted from your salary, and Sirius will also return to the old Black house." When Cyrus lowered his head, There was a moment of loneliness in both of their eyes.

"That's so boring! How about I live near Hogsmeade, so I can always find you." Sirius returned to his usual self, and Cyrus said it didn't matter, "But I will be very busy when I return to school. There’s no time to go out. You’d better take the opportunity to spend more time with your godson.”

The dinner was not very pleasant for the three of them, and after it ended in a hurry, Cyrus was the first to return to the study. I have almost finished my official duties these days, so I took out a book on soul research and read through it. He called out a glass of wine and stroked the rim of the glass. When Sirius's matter was over, he was going to go to Black's old house to get Slytherin's pendant, and also to go to the cave with the fake pendant... Since Peter was dead, now he was How will Voldemort get in touch with Barty Crouch Jr. in the Romanian forest... The notebook has been destroyed, I also got the Ravenclaw crown, and Harry...

His thoughts were interrupted, Sirius and Lupine came to the room together. Cyrus put down the book, "What's wrong?"

Sirius pulled Cyrus up and said, "Come on, let's go out for a drink!" Cyrus looked helplessly at Lupine, seeing that he, who had always been reliable, also looked at Cyrus expectantly.

Cyrus smiled bitterly, waved his hand, transformed into Sean and said, "Let's go to the Pig's Head Bar. I haven't seen Uncle Aberforth in a long time."

Sirius looked at Cyrus's appearance curiously, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pull her face, and shook her away. Cyrus frowned: "I usually show this appearance to others when I go out, otherwise it will be too troublesome. Call me outside. "Sean." Sirius pointed at himself, then at Cyrus, and looked at Lupin, "Remus, who is more handsome between me and her?"

Sirius's temperament is completely different from Cyrus's masculine temperament. Sirius's handsome appearance exudes freedom and uninhibitedness. Cyrus, on the other hand, is gentle and elegant, with a devilish and evil look in his eyes.

Sirius' words aroused Cyrus's interest, "Does Mr. Big Black Dog want to gain that pitiful victory in appearance?"

Sirius didn't show any weakness, "It seems that Mr. Sean is very confident in his charm. How about we compare who will be hit on by more people?" Lupine watched silently, Cyrus frowned, "Pig head People in the bar don’t go there just to strike up a conversation. Even if your current identity is proven innocent, it will scare away a lot of people, right?”

"Hmph! We'll see."

The three of them apparated to the door of the Hog's Head Bar in Hogsmeade. Cyrus walked in first and saw Aberforth greeting him enthusiastically, "Uncle Aberforth, I'm here to see you!" Aberforth When he saw the person coming, his tone was not as rude as before, "Here he comes, sit down!"

The three of them sat down, and Aberforth poured out three glasses of Firewhiskey and placed them on the bar, then poured himself another glass. Sirius asked curiously, "I haven't been to the Pig's Head Bar yet. I didn't expect that the owner is actually Principal Dumbledore's brother."

"Hmph! If you mention him again, I'll throw you out!" Aberforth would not restrain his temper towards anyone other than Cyrus.

"Okay, okay, Uncle Aberforth. Everything we drank today will be charged to father's account. Cheers." Cyrus clinked glasses with Aberforth, and then drank the wine in one gulp like him. "Hahaha, what a powerful little girl. Much better than your father!"

Sirius and Lupine were also a little surprised. Lupine looked at Cyrus worriedly and said, "Cyrus, you can drink slower. In fact, my drinking capacity is very poor and I can't be the same as you." Cyrus waved his hand and pretended Sirius showed off his unruly appearance, "I've had a drinking contest with Hagrid, so don't worry."

"Haha, okay, cheers!" The three of them were all amused by Cyrus and raised their glasses to drink together. As Cyrus expected, the people who came to the Pig Head Bar were all dark wizards. Everyone covered their faces and didn't even think about who they were chatting with. Aberforth also let them go upstairs and drink in the room. There were no outsiders, so the three of them drank more happily.

"Hahahaha, and then Remus plunged into the mud!"

"Sirius! Didn't you fall in with James later?" Sirius quarreled with Lupine while telling interesting stories about their school days. Cyrus looked at them and smiled from time to time. Lupine no longer looked tired, but more like an energetic young man.

In addition to attending classes and serving as a teaching assistant at school, Cyrus spent time in the Forbidden Forest, and socialized with students of the same age only when necessary. Apart from the time she was caught by the twins and had a snowball fight with Harry and others in Hogsmeade, she had no other experiences. It seems that this feeling is also very good. Is this the friend Sirius said?

"Cyrus, ah no, Sean! Why don't you say anything? Tell us about your embarrassing incident in school!" Sirius hugged Cyrus and the two of them swayed from side to side. Lupine interrupted, "Forget it, Sirius. Sean is always outstanding in school, how could he be like you?"

"Why, it's amazing that you have been her professor. Just wait, I want to be a professor too!"

Sirius patted Cyrus's head with his hand, and then rubbed it wantonly, "Come on, call me Professor?" Cyrus dodged Sirius's bear hug again, "I don't think Mr. Big Black Dog Is there anything you can teach me?”

Sirius raised his eyebrows, lifted Cyrus's chin and leaned closer, "I can teach you..."

Lupine pushed his face away with one hand and put his arm around Cyrus. "Don't listen to his nonsense, Cyrus." Sirius didn't give up on Lupine to seduce Cyrus. You pushed me, and I pushed you, which was extremely childish.

Cyrus couldn't help laughing, "Haha, you guys, haha." Cyrus felt like his stomach was bursting with laughter. He raised his eyes and found that both of them were looking at her, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" ?”

The two of them also started to laugh, "It's nothing, I just think your smile is the most beautiful and real this time."

Lupine scratched his head in embarrassment, and Sirius also echoed, "That's right, he smiles at us every day. Is it necessary? We are good friends!"

Cyrus opened his lips slightly, then smiled, "Yeah."
