Slytherin's salvation is nothingness

Sirius stood up and glared at Snape, "Snape, why do you blame Harry and the others? They only care about their friends. Don't friends have the right to understand each other?!"

Snape stared at Sirius as he spoke word by word, "Then what qualifications do you have to talk about her?"

A hand pulled the two apart, and Cyrus put his arm around Snape's shoulders, his whole body swaying. "Oh, I accidentally drank too much. Severus, please take me back. You continue, Remus, keep an eye on Sirius."

Cyrus hooked Snape and staggered out of the door. Sirius was also stopped by Lupine because Harry and others were still there and he couldn't reveal Cyrus' identity for this. He sat down angrily and drank glasses of wine.

Cyrus led Snape out of the Leaky Cauldron to an alley. He let go of his hand and looked calm, "Thank you, sir. You don't actually need to refute anything for me. I don't care about that at all."

Snape's face was gloomy and terrifying, with anger in his eyes. "How much did you hear?"

Cyrus was confused, "What's wrong? I just heard Harry and the others talking about what happened to me before. Then you had an argument with Sirius. Did they say anything before?"

Snape turned his head and said, "Nothing."

Cyrus nodded and stopped asking. Although he felt that his husband's behavior today was strange, he was not rejected by any of his affectionate gestures. If I make an even more egregious move, won't my husband refuse...

He put his hands on the man's shoulders and turned his head to look at him, "Severus."

The moment he saw the magic power working on the man, Occlumency was triggered again.

Cyrus put on a playful tone and pulled his hand away, "How about we go beat Sirius up?"

Snape turned his back to Cyrus, his tone full of impatience, "Go back!"

"I'm with you."

Now, rather than getting what he wants, Cyrus hopes to maintain a close relationship with his husband, and no longer wants to force his husband to do anything.

It was as if after that night, as long as Cyrus pretended that nothing happened, he could continue to be by his side, and the relationship between the two would return to what it was before.

"Okay, sir."

The two pretended that nothing happened and apparated back to Hogsmeade. The two walked side by side, sometimes close and sometimes distant. When they returned to Hogwarts, Cyrus immediately said goodbye to Snape.

Snape stood in the dark corridor, silently watching the girl's disappearing back, "Shouldn't you pursue the person you like boldly?"

The stupid dog's words rang in Snape's mind, and the girl expressed her feelings to him that night after drinking the Veritaserum. But does she really know what this means? The relationship between the two has become unclear.

Every time Snape faced a girl, the suppressed possessiveness in his heart drove him crazy, but in what capacity should he stay with the girl. He still has the next mission. If he is too close to the girl...she will have no future with him like this.

A tragic character like Snape will be worried and afraid of losing it again before he gets it.

Cyrus returned to the dormitory and saw several letters on the table. He opened them and looked at them with a more serious expression.

According to Rita's investigation, Bertha Jorkins, a member of the Ministry of Magic, did not return after the holiday. Because she has always been unsocial and has poor popularity and a bad memory, people thought she had forgotten the end of the holiday.

Cyrus knew the story of such a poor man. When he was working under Barty Crouch, he accidentally discovered that he had rescued his son who was imprisoned in Azkaban and hid it at home.

The discovered Jorkins was cast on a forgetting spell, and the side effects made her become trance-like and have poor memory. While on vacation in Romania, she was discovered by Peter who was still alive and looking for his master, and was brought to Voldemort. Only then did they learn about the existence of Barty Crouch Jr. and the upcoming Triwizard Tournament next year.

Now that Peter is dead, Jorkins is still captured by Voldemort, who will probably possess her again to find Barty Crouch Jr.

And Voldemort will definitely be eager to be resurrected, so his plan to obtain all the Horcruxes should be advanced. She wrote to Rita and Lupine to ask them to pay attention to Jorkins' whereabouts, and Lucius should also remind them.

Voldemort will temporarily hide in Riddle House before he is truly resurrected, and his first target is the Gaunt family's ring. We are now half a semester away from the end of the year.

The next day was Saturday, and most of the students headed to Hogsmeade to rest, and Cyrus showed up early in the morning to have breakfast in the Great Hall.

It is not difficult to obtain the Gaunt Ring, and it is unguarded, but there are some dark magic traps. But it was a challenge for Cyrus. In his memory, even Dumbledore was bewitched by the resurrection stone in the ring and lost his mind, thus his right hand was cursed.

Cyrus once talked to Salazar about the Resurrection Stone, and he also said that it was actually just a phantom projected from a person's heart. The soul of his lover seen when holding the Resurrection Stone was not real, and it could not truly resurrect them.

Cyrus's frown relaxed a lot when he thought of this. Everyone has a desire in their heart. This time he can only go alone.

Riddle House is located on a hill, like a symbol of high existence overlooking a cemetery below the hill.

Cyrus saw Tom's father's tombstone. Did he kill a family with his own hands and then set up a tombstone for them so that he could use black magic to resurrect himself later? Cyrus did not touch the tombstone. She was looking forward to Voldemort's resurrection more than anyone else.

Riddle House has long been in decline and depression, and has been abandoned here because of its poor location and too gloomy location. There was only one Muggle guard nearby, and Cyrus still appeared as Sean.

A middle-aged man walked out of a shorter house nearby. He saw Cyrus standing in front of Riddle House and walked up to greet her. "Hello, are you Mr. Sean?"

Cyrus nodded, "You must be Mr. Dylan. I'm here to take a look today. I'm very satisfied. Someone will contact the real estate company to sign the house purchase contract."

Dylan was also surprised that such a gloomy mansion had been left there for a long time without anyone buying it, and now this young man decided to buy it without even looking at it. But he was also unambiguous. After the house was finally released, he didn't need to look at this creepy place every day.

Shaking hands with the young man excitedly, "That's great, Mr. Sean. If necessary, I can take you in to have a look."

His brain was dizzy, and a vague voice came: Today's transaction with Mr. Sean was successful. You have decided to move out of here. Go back and pack your things and move out now.

Seeing Dylan walking back to his house in a daze, Cyrus walked into the Riddle House. The floor was already covered with dust and creaked, and Cyrus looked around cautiously. The magic force probed over and over again, targeting a bedroom on the second floor. Sure enough, there were plenty of dark magic curses.

His eyes swept over them, thinking in his mind that although there were many in number, they were not in danger of the curse set by Salazar in Slytherin Mansion, and he could handle it.

It would be nice if Salazar was here, but he has never left the house since the last time he went out to look for Gryffindor and others. Are there still restrictions?

Cyrus carefully removed the spells one after another and looked around from time to time. After removing all the spells nearby, he looked at the closed bedroom door.

Cyrus frowned, he seemed to be becoming more and more inflexible. After casting the Silence and Illusion spells on the entire house, no one outside could see any changes. Then he took out a small, heavy wooden box from the ring, placed it against the door, and then walked out of Riddle House again.

After checking the silence spell and a series of protective spells again, he took out a small button from the ring, "Let me think about it... remember they said just press this."

Cyrus was attracted to this small box when he was buying pistols and other weapons from the black market in the Muggle world. They said it was a highly destructive high explosive.

It just so happens that I can try it this time. The house belongs to me anyway, it doesn't matter whether it's blown up or not. I just don't know whether it's the explosive power of the dynamite or the magic spell cast by Tom.

When the button was pressed, the protective spell on the outside of the house trembled violently and then shattered. Fortunately, there was no big noise. However, after the enchantment on the outer layer of the house was broken, the house that was half destroyed by the bomb was revealed. Fortunately, Cyrus added the enchantment in time.

Cyrus re-cast the spell and walked into the Riddle House, and smoke filled the house. The curse blew away the black mist, all the stairs on the second floor were blown up, and the house was crumbling.

After casting Repair, Cyrus came to the bedroom where a large gap had been blown out. The wall near the bedroom door was also completely blown away, and the furniture inside was broken and scattered. He whistled, "It looks pretty good. I can buy some more powerful stuff to play with later."

With a wave of his hand, the ruins inside the room floated up, and Cyrus looked for Gaunt's ring.

A small, dark box floating in the air caught Cyrus's attention, with a curse attached to it.

"It seems that bombs alone cannot be destroyed. Is it not powerful enough, or is it because of the special characteristics of the Horcrux that it cannot be destroyed..."

Cyrus's blue eyes reflected bright light, and he endured the pain to lift the spells, and the small box slowly opened a gap.

A ring set with black gemstones came into view, but Cyrus did not step forward. The black mist gathered and slowly emerged from the ring: put it on... Angus can be resurrected... put it on, and your wish will come true!

Originally, Cyrus looked calm and was not at all bewitched by the cursed language. Black mist enveloped her, gradually obscuring her figure. In the black mist, a shadow appeared.

The moment the phantom appeared, Cyrus' figure was completely hidden in the black mist.

In the principal's office, Cyrus, who looked pale and tired, picked up a cup of coffee and drank it. The ring on his left index finger flashed slightly.

Dumbledore's eyes focused on the ring on Cyrus's hand, with a solemn expression on his face. "Which number is this?" Cyrus stroked the ring and chuckled, "The one I destroyed is already the third one." Diary Ben, Ravenclaw's crown and Gaunt's ring.

"You can ask me to come with you, Cyrus."

Dumbledore looked at Cyrus' pale face. Cyrus smiled gently, called out a large piece of strawberry cake for Dumbledore, and pushed it in front of him. "This is your Achilles heel. The great Dumbledore cannot fall before I am fully prepared."

Dumbledore sighed, "But it's also a hurdle for you. How did you escape its temptation?"

Cyrus rubbed the ring and narrowed his eyes, "Thanks to Salazar, he told me in advance that the resurrection stone cannot really bring back the dead. But this thing is really evil, even my eyes Can’t see the slightest problem with the souls it gathers.”

"The existence of such a thing is a mistake. Like the Mirror of Erised, it is a form of torture for those who are too obsessed with it." Cyrus shifted his gaze and no longer looked at the ring in his hand.

Dumbledore's eyes focused on the bandage tied under Cyrus's black shirt, and he noticed the old man's gaze. Cyrus waved his hand, "It's just a necessary means for me to stay sane. It's better than being cursed."

Although she said this, the smell of blood and the strong smell of herbs still made Dumbledore frown.

Cyrus took off the ring and placed it in front of Dumbledore. "There is no more curse. Maybe you should keep it for me."

Dumbledore pressed his left hand firmly against his right hand, fighting internally, and lowered his eyes after seeing Cyrus. "You take it, kid... I think it's time for me to move forward."

Cyrus nodded after a moment of silence and took back the ring, "Maybe you should think about your retirement life. It would be good to travel with Gellert."

Dumbledore returned to his smiling face, "Yeah, maybe one day."

After walking out of the principal's office, Cyrus noticed prying eyes and looked at a dark figure in the corner. After confirming who was coming, Cyrus hid the dagger in his hand back at his waist. He waved to the other side and smiled: "Sir, have you started to like peeping as much as your father?"

The step that the shadow was about to take stopped, as if it wanted to leave but didn't want Cyrus to see through.

Cyrus waved to Snape, who was having an awkward moment, and said, "Sir, I'm going back to rest first. You should also rest early."

She turned and left quickly. Snape had a special status and could not let him know about the Horcrux. Stay with Voldemort if any memories of the Horcruxes are discovered. Cyrus had no time to save him.

By the time Snape chased him around the corner, Cyrus could no longer be seen.

Cyrus returned to the dormitory and took off the bandages wrapped around his body. What happened was not as easy as she told Dumbledore. There were marks on her thighs and arms where she had stabbed her with a knife, and there were scratches on her chest.

As long as there is a chance, she will not give up the idea of ​​resurrecting Angus. Even though she knows that the resurrection stone cannot do it, she is still bewitched. Fortunately, she lost too much blood and did not have the strength to wear the ring suspended in the air. The stinging pain all over her body summoned her last sense of reason, and she inserted the dagger stained with basilisk venom into the ring.

"When Sirius comes to Hogwarts, ask him to take me to the Black Mansion..." After saying that, Cyrus lay on the bed and fell asleep.
