HP Miss Paranoid and the Old Bat Professor

'Miss Benay, how do I know you're not lying to me? 'Perhaps An Nan's words gave Riddle a glimmer of hope, and his expression returned to the unpredictable one before.

"You can't know, but if you really want to find Miss Brown, you have to trust me." An Nan straightened her back, and her tone was full of sincerity.

Riddle stared at An Nan for a few seconds, then retracted his wand, and asked with great interest,

'Miss Bennett, may I ask why you would want to help me? '

An Nan, who finally felt that her life was saved, couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, she showed a faint smile, "perhaps it's because I believe in love"

Such a simple answer was beyond Riddle's expectation. He carefully looked at An Nan in front of him, perhaps this girl was more interesting than he thought before.

Suddenly, a phoenix's cry came out from the water pipe in the wall. The corner of Riddle's mouth showed a contemptuous arc. He snapped his fingers. In the next second, a huge phoenix appeared in the pond on the right side of the house. The vortex, followed by a huge brown basilisk emerged.

An Nan suddenly lowered her head and stared at the soles of her shoes, she didn't want to be petrified.

'Miss Bennett, I'm sorry, I'm afraid our meeting can only go so far' The young gentleman's demeanor was impeccable, 'Leonard will take you outside'

'Leonard? !That's the one...wait a minute, was it brought me here before? An Nan looked desperately at Riddle and nodded slightly. Her stomach couldn't help but her face turned pale. She was afraid of snakes!

"Sorry, Miss Bennett, I still have some unfinished business to deal with." Speaking of this, a fierce light flashed in Riddle's eyes,

'Trust me, Leonard won't hurt you without my orders, you can close your eyes if you're scared'

Just before An Nan planned to let the basilisk roll itself to the ground, she suddenly thought of something, and quickly took out a small white jade bottle from her pocket and threw it to Riddle,

'This is for you, it will be useful at critical moments! '

With her eyes closed, An Nan resisted the soft discomfort of the basilisk wrapped around her body. After a few seconds of tunneling, she was finally thrown back to the ground by the basilisk's tail. In a second, she happily fell into that familiar embrace full of security.

'Annan, are you okay? ' Severus hugged Annan tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his arms.His voice was trembling slightly due to excitement, and at this moment the heart that had been hanging in his throat was finally returned to his chest.

"Professor, I'm fine." An Nan also hugged her professor tightly back, pressed her small face against Severus' cheek, feeling the warmth of the professor's body contentedly, her heart was full The joy of being reborn after the catastrophe.

After returning to the potion office, An Nan, lying in Severus' arms, truthfully repeated the conversation between her and Riddle to her professor. How dangerous the experience was, but Severus, who had faced the Duke of Darkness who went mad afterwards, was afraid for a while.

"I'm sorry, Annan, I didn't protect you well" Severus pulled the little girl into his arms, guilt and fear still lingered in his heart, he couldn't imagine what would happen to Annan...

"Don't worry, professor, I can protect myself." An Nan raised her head, her tone was full of childish confidence.

Severus looked down at the familiar pure watery eyes and bright smile of the little girl in front of him, and his heart returned to temperature.The corner of his mouth not only revealed a touch of pampering, he lowered his head and gently pressed a kiss on the little girl's forehead.

An Nan heard Severus whispering in her ear,

'Youdon'thaveto.Youhaveme'

(you have me here)
