Slytherin's salvation is nothingness

Cyrus, who first entered the Forbidden Forest, was very careful and only wandered around the perimeter. After memorizing the general terrain, she gradually went deeper. During this period, she also saw Hagrid on patrol with a sturdy black dog.

She feels more at ease in the forest. She likes the feeling of hunting. She can only experience the pleasure of blood expansion when fighting enemies. Soon, she spotted a snail-horned goat grazing.

Its size is very large, even larger than the previous giant wolf. The double horns on the head are spiral-shaped, which is very special. Cyrus signaled Angus to stay far away and hide, and she held her breath and leaned forward slowly approaching. The dagger behind her waist was already in her right hand, and she took a deep breath.

Suddenly, both feet rushed towards the goat's side with force. The spiral-horned goat was startled, and its forelimbs jumped up and prepared to dodge in the opposite direction. Unexpectedly, the person who attacked it quickly jumped onto its back from behind, and when it was banging around wildly, trying to knock the person off its back.

A sharp dagger jumped over its curled horns and stabbed hard from directly above the head. With a stab and a twist, the huge body slowly fell down amidst the stirring sound of blood, flesh and brains.

Cyrus drew out the dagger and jumped back at the same time, and a figure suddenly jumped out from where he was originally lying. Without giving Cyrus any more time to think, the four-eyed ocelot that failed to attack roared and lunged towards her face and bit her.

Cyrus made a move with his feet and fell to the ground while rushing towards the ocelot. He raised his leg and kicked the ocelot in the abdomen. The four-eyed ocelot is medium-sized but moves quickly. After being kicked down by Cyrus, he immediately stood up and adjusted his position. It saw that the person in front of it was not easy to mess with, and stared at the person closely, trying to find any flaws.

Cyrus was also in a defensive posture, but the corners of his mouth, which were covered by his hands, were raised. Humming a melodious melody, Cyrus rushed out and came directly in front of the ocelot. The ocelot didn't seem to expect such a straightforward attack. It raised its sharp claws and slapped the girl, roaring and biting the girl's neck. Cyrus hummed, his body moving lightly to avoid the ocelot's claws.

He turned sideways, turned his whole body, and stabbed the ocelot's neck from the side with a dagger in both hands. The moment the ocelot's body froze, she grabbed the ocelot's head with one hand and pulled the dagger horizontally with the other hand. Tear...the ocelot's head and body split into half, and blood spurted out instantly.

The jungle was quiet and eerie at this time, with the sound of dripping liquid and slight humming.

Somewhere in the Forbidden Forest, there is a huge lake. The air was filled with the smell of blood, and this smell stimulated the surrounding beasts.

Some beasts couldn't resist the temptation and entered this area and never came out again. They just emitted a stronger smell of blood. A girl sits by the lake cutting and decomposing the carcasses of beasts. Next to her sat a dog with a large basin in front of him.

The girl put the cut flesh into a large basin, and the dog barked at her and began to feast on it. Every time Angus uses the flesh and blood of magic-eating creatures, there will be magic fluctuations, but he is just like a normal dog, except that he grows taller and has no other abilities.

Cyrus took off the bandage and looked at Angus carefully, his blue eyes carefully looking at the hound beside him. After a moment, he sighed, closed his eyes, and lay down on the grass. As long as you are alive...I will protect you...

Many wild beasts thought that this lake was occupied by a dangerous overlord, so they stayed away from this location. Cyrus felt the breeze and the moment of peace, if only it could always be like this. In the distant jungle, there were many sounds of horse hooves trampling on the grass. He raised his gun and took aim.

"We mean no harm!"

Cyrus did not lower the gun he held, but became more cautious. The people who can appear in the forbidden forest full of beasts are more dangerous than magical creatures. Soon, people with beards, wild and rugged looking people, with human upper limbs and horse bodies gradually came out of the woods - horse people.

They drew their bows and arrows fully, and aimed them all at Cyrus. Cyrus said nothing and looked at the leader, who was stronger than the other centaurs and had a fiery red mane. He held his bow and arrow, not aiming it at Cyrus. He was too tall, so he could only lower his head and look at the girl

"The heir to the awakening and return, I am the leader of the centaurs tribe, Ronan."

"........."

"We mean no harm. Centaurs never harm foals. Apokolips guided us here through the dark clouds."

Ronan waved his hand to signal the other centaurs to put down their bows and arrows, and then looked at the beast carcasses piled next to the girl, "Hunting is also a custom of us centaurs from ancient times to the present. I respect your powerful hunting skills. We Having been living in this forest, the centaurs do not want or fear to be enemies with the wizard. I hope that we can both maintain a certain amount of respect and not disturb each other in the future."

It may be that Cyrus's appearance disturbed the centaurs. They didn't like the wizard entering the forest and were wary of Cyrus. Cyrus put down the shotgun. Centaurs are a being between humans and animals.

But they prefer to distinguish themselves from others and are an independent race. Cyrus has no feelings for humans. Perhaps because of Angus, she is more accepting of animals that don't show any malice to her.

"I won't disturb you, I will only come here every day to hunt wild beasts... What does it mean to wake up and return as the successor?"

Ronan turned around and left without stopping after receiving a positive answer from Cyrus: "Centaurs are bystanders who fear fate."

Cyrus watched the centaurs leave and thought about Ronan's words. Sure enough, there is a problem at Hogwarts, but it will be fine if it doesn't affect Angus and me. After she made a fire and simply roasted some meat and ate it, she continued to process the beast carcasses, cutting off valuable parts and putting them into different glass vessels according to the magical animal records recorded in the book.

After packing everything, he got up and washed his hands covered in mud and blood in the lake. Cyrus doesn't like wearing gloves, which diminish the feeling in his hands. He put away his weapons, put on his shirt and school robe, put on his invisibility cloak and walked to Hogwarts.

It was already four o'clock in the morning, and the night sky was gradually getting brighter. Cyrus went into the bathroom to make sure there was no more blood on him, and walked to the Head of Slytherin's office.

She gently placed the bottles of processed glassware at the door of the office, and then quickly returned to her dormitory. Cyrus was unable to use preservation magic, so the results of that night's hunt could only be sent to Snape immediately.

Thinking of the first time he entered the Forbidden Forest, he accidentally caught a few wild beasts in order to establish his authority. Their flesh and blood was still stored in his pocket. It would be great if he knew the Preservation Charm. After thinking about it, Cyrus went to the door of the office again and piled all the remaining beast corpses at the door of the office.

At this time, she felt a voyeuristic gaze and saw a beautifully carved green snake on the door, hovering on a black disk in the center. He was spitting out the letter and looking at Cyrus. It should be something similar to the portrait guarding the lounge.

Cyrus pulled out the dagger from his waist and held it against the green snake's body seven inches, then put his index finger between his lips in a silent threat. The green snake immediately backed up, then returned to the gap carved in the disk, and then turned back into a black sculpture.

When the weak sunlight in the early morning shone on the black stone door through the castle windows, the veins on Snape's face popped out, and his face was stiffer and gloomier than the stone door as he looked at the beast materials piled up into a hill at the door of his office.

"Boom!" The huge sound of closing the door resounded throughout the cellar, but the hill at the door of the office disappeared.

Over the weekend, when Snape entered the Forbidden Forest to replenish herbs, he passed by a lake. The sun was shining brightly, shining silver on the lake. Came the light, soft laughter of a girl. Snape thought for a moment that he was hallucinating.

Sitting by the lake was a girl with long hair, holding a small ball in her hand. A dog beside her was wagging its tail and barking excitedly at the girl. It waited for the ball to be thrown by the girl and then quickly retrieved it. Sit obediently in front of the girl and wait for praise.

Although the girl covered most of her face with bandages, you can still see that the frost on her face has melted, and her smile is as gentle as the spring breeze.

"Please explain why a first-year wizard would be deep in the Forbidden Forest with her dog, Miss Sean!"

"This is the place Angus found. It's beautiful, isn't it." Cyrus seemed to be in a good mood.

Snape's face turned dark and he said to her, "It seems that the school homework is too easy for Miss Cyrus, so congratulations on getting the confinement time for the next month."

"Come to my office every night for dinner! Now, follow me!"

After saying that, Snape turned around and strode away in his trademark way, and Cyrus immediately got up and chased after him. Following Snape to the door of his office, Snape turned back and frowned,

“I don’t want my office to smell like wild beasts!”

Cyrus was silent at the door for a while, signaled Angus to wait at the door, and walked into the cold office. Snape snorted, waved his wand, and jars of glassware containing beast eyes, teeth, and entrails appeared. He sat on the office chair and stared at Cyrus coldly.

"Miss Sean, what do you mean?"

"Angus only needs part of their flesh and blood, and I have no use for the remaining organs and fur. I read in the book that these can be used as potion ingredients."

"Oh? So this is a charity from Miss Sean?!"

"No, sir."

"Take it!"

"........."

After a few days, Snape encountered Cyrus's rogue way of chatting again, which was like a punch to cotton. A few days ago, I saw a glass container placed at the door of my office and thought it was the potion ingredients I ordered. But when I took a closer look, I didn't expect it to be the internal organs of various magical animals.

Although not very precious, these are also dangerous existences in the Forbidden Forest. At that time, he vaguely thought of a figure. The Medusa guarding the door did not say who it was. I originally wanted to wait until next week when it was my turn to do night training before observing. Unexpectedly, this child was blatantly playing in the depths of the Forbidden Forest as if he were in his own back garden.

The two fell into silence for a while, looking at each other as if they were engaged in a silent struggle.

"I don't think the hundreds of house elves at Hogwarts will be so busy that they won't have time to prepare food for you and your pets."

"Angus can only eat the flesh of magical animals, sir."

"I didn't expect that even Miss Sean's pets are so delicate. What a ridiculous excuse. Could it be that the hundreds of house elves at Hogwarts would poison everyone's food in order to murder you?"

Snape had become accustomed to the girl's silence as a way to avoid questions she didn't want to answer. He waved his wand and took out two buckets of slugs for the girl to deal with. Then he started to lower his head to mark the homework.

There was a faint smell of blood floating in the herb-filled office, and both of them were doing their own thing in silence. It was too easy for Cyrus to deal with the slugs, which were so disgusting to other students. The knife turned the flowers in her hand, and in a short time she had finished processing two large buckets of slugs.

Snape looked at the girl who made quick and precise moves, and thought that she was also nimble in Potions class and would not be like those idiots who didn't understand what she was talking about.

Snape's face softened a little. I thought this girl would have a lot of problems after entering school, but the past few months have been surprisingly peaceful.

Old man Dumbledore must have known about Cyrus running to the Forbidden Forest at night, but he didn't stop him. Snape felt his eyelids twitching, no matter what he did, this kid was so outrageous.

For some reason, Snape remembered the scene when he was petrified, and he suddenly felt irritated. "I hope——Miss Sean won't show up in the school doctor's office with missing arms and legs one day!"

"Now—get out!"
