Till's excuse for leaving Hogwarts was to discuss business with Lupine. After she left Gringotts, she also went to Hogsmeade to find Lupin. Her newlywed employee husband looked radiant and clearly had a heavy workload. It was dozens of times more than when he first became an employee of Thiel, but he became more and more comfortable.

Teal had already treated the burn on his hand on the way here, and the white fresh breath had completely covered it up. Lupine was no more familiar with potion ingredients than Snape, and he only felt the look on Teal's face. Not too good, but I didn’t think much about anything else.

"How does it feel to be newly married to Tonks?" Teal smiled at Lupine, indicating that Lupine, who was embarrassed to answer, put a few ledgers on the table, and turned to him to look through them, so that the dots in his hands were white. Lupine wouldn't have discovered the traces.

The burn in the palm of her hand was worse than the injury on her ankle. She held the golden cup for a long time, and the flesh and blood in her palm was cooked by the fire spell. Till gritted his teeth and cut it out bit by bit, and then applied it with white fresh food. .

Although the wound has recovered, there are abnormal white marks. It is a small side effect left by the fresh food. It will take almost a day to dissipate.

Teal was already worried about how angry Snape would be when he found out. Her fiancé loved nothing more than to hold her hand and play with it.

Tier frowned while looking at the account book. Lupine thought there was something wrong with the account book and quickly asked her what was wrong.

"No, I'm just troubled by something. There's nothing wrong with the ledger." Till quickly checked the income and expenditure on the ledger. This was already the result of Lupine's personal review. Lupine rarely made mistakes in this regard. Till I am still very confident about his intentions.

Thiel put away his worries. Since he came to Lupine, he went over the business plan for the next few months with Lupine, especially since Grindelwald had connected several big Austrian customers for Thiel. , Thiel’s business foothold in Austria relies on cooperation with them.

Till will personally take action when the time comes, leaving small business to her trusted Lupine and Altair, while big business will be negotiated by herself. Till will sometimes use this method to tell her partners that they are the ones who are responsible for the negotiations. Thiel cooperates, or Thiel cooperates with them.

There is an essential difference between the two.

Till had not originally intended to treat different business partners differently, but she found that her desire to be fair and just turned out to be a humiliation to many businessmen. She sometimes had to imitate Lucius Malfoy and other purebloods. You must not be polite when you should be arrogant.

This is due to experience in the business world. Although Tiel doesn't like it, she is not yet in a position where she can do whatever she wants. Sometimes the general trend is the most self-interested.

Teal returned to the castle with the gold cup in the evening, just in time for dinner.

Snape stretched out his hand to hold her, and suddenly felt that the touch on Teal's palm was not right, but he glanced at Teal and did not ask any questions at the professor's chair. He just took over Teal's task of cutting the steak, and the steak was also Feeding pieces to Tier's mouth, he seemed so considerate that Tier didn't even need to eat by himself.

He worked hard and seemed considerate, but Teal became more and more worried as he ate, always feeling that Snape was holding back some emotion in his silence.

Sure enough, Snape didn't give Till a chance to find an excuse to go back to the fifth floor after dinner, and Snape took her directly to the underground. The Potions Professor's office door was gently closed, and Hufflepuff's golden cup was still in Teal's pocket.

She hesitated on what words to start with, then took out the Horcrux and showed it to Snape.

"I--" Till just started to say what he had been thinking about for a long time, but Snape sighed and turned away Till's hand, looking at the white marks with pity.

Snape's simple words made Tire swallow all his words: "It hurts, doesn't it?"

Tier's nose felt sore and he blinked rapidly, his voice choked with sobs: "It doesn't hurt, it will stop hurting soon."

"Liar." Snape lowered his head and kissed the palm of Teal's hand. He knew that Teal's hand was no longer a problem under Bai Xian's treatment, but his kiss was so light, as if the kiss was a little heavier. The one you love will be hurt by his kiss.

"I'm not lying to you, it really doesn't hurt anymore." Teal touched the side of Snape's face. She could feel the cold water falling from the corner of Snape's eyes after he closed his eyes, and she felt like crying again. It's funny again, "Professor Snape, it's me who's hurt, why are you crying?"

Teal stood on tiptoes and kissed the corners of Snape's eyes: "Don't worry, I'm very powerful. I successfully got Hufflepuff's golden cup back."

As he spoke, Teal showed Snape the gold cup wrapped in cloth. The fire spell on the gold cup had not yet expired, and the black skirt rags already showed signs of being burned, exuding a scorch. Pasty taste.

"The Fire Curse is not difficult to remove. It exists to protect the soul inside. Once Voldemort's soul is taken out, the Fire Curse will be ineffective." Teal can feel the object on which the Fire Curse really takes effect. This is why Teal is proficient in black magic. Ability that only comes after a certain level of magic.

I believe that many powerful dark wizards have this ability, and Till will not be the only one - Grindelwald can do it.

Teal was basically responsible for destroying the Horcruxes, so Snape only looked at them for a few more times before looking away and began to carefully apply medicine to the white mark on Teal's palm.

"It'll be almost gone tomorrow night, no need..." Till's face felt itchy and hot as she watched Snape carefully apply a bottle of potion on her palm.

Teal was obviously embarrassed by Snape's intentions towards her, but she was more happy.

The one you love is happy about you.

Snape didn't say anything, but applied the potion evenly. He saw with his own eyes that the white mark became more red under the influence of the potion, and it didn't look so disturbing anymore. Then he put the potion on the table and called Till tomorrow. Apply again in the morning.

Teal spread his hands to dry the potion: "Will Professor Snape still help me apply it then?"

"If Professor Emery wants to." Snape used a handkerchief to wipe off the potion that accidentally dripped between Teal's fingers. The bitter smell of the potion would make Teal dislike it, so some of it could be wiped off.

"It turns out it was my wish, not Professor Snape's." Teal pretended to be disappointed and teased the serious Snape in front of him. As soon as he finished speaking, Snape pinched his fingertips lightly.

This pinching of the fingertips had a somewhat ambiguous meaning of knowing each other. Teal and Snape looked at each other with half-smiling smiles. They could no longer pretend to be disappointed and could only shake the cloth strips on the gold cup in a panic. , letting the golden cup roll to the ground, and began to deal with the Horcrux.

The floor of the office was solid, and the fire spell on the golden cup did not cause any damage to the ground. Thiel took out his wand and pointed it at the golden cup from a distance.

She didn't want the Fire Curse to damage her wand. She had taken good care of her wand for many years and it was very precious.
