HP One More Chance.

In the next second, another young blonde woman revealed her face in the darkness.

"you……"

Before he finished speaking, the person who was playing the role of "master" at one moment, coughed violently and spit out a mouthful of blood the next moment, then knelt down on one knee weakly, with an extremely painful expression on his face.

"Oh, oh, this is troublesome."

The person called the master was stretching out his trembling hand with difficulty, but fortunately, she was there and took his hand by his side.

Her clear and long female voice, like a copper bell, condensed more and more clearly in the darkness:

"This body is too fragile, you should have a good rest."

But when the other party heard this, he immediately threw off her support with one hand:

"...Heh, after pretending to be your good lady, is Ken back?"

"Master, if you don't trust me, I will be very distressed."

A hearty laughter that was completely opposite to his expression passed by his ears, and penetrated straight into his impatient head, "You know, master, you have always planned things like a god, until now, everything is going well. It's going well, isn't it... If this is the case, I will be sincerely, very sincerely, happy for you."

After all, she walked up to him, knelt down respectfully and humblely, raised her hand to gently wipe away the blood from his mouth, and at the same time raised her head, and pressed a soft and warm kiss on the other's lips, accompanied by a trace of tenderness. The smell of blood spread in the cold air.

Her long platinum-blond curly hair tangles with the black hair at his temples, rubbing against his temples in a time that may have stopped.

"I..."

"Ilya," she closed her eyes, and gently stroked his cheek, which was colder than her own hand, "Call me... Ilya..."

— my dear master.

The author has something to say: 19.1

In fact, it was the first time Alice appeared in a relatively big scene after her death and resurrection.

The rivalry with Allen began to step into the bottomless pit of (later Harmony Ten Thousand Words).

Why did Alice find Alan as a lifebuoy (say by Mr. Author)

In fact, I think it should be because of... ([-] words were deleted later)

Chapter 19: Words Buried in the Mist

19.2

He didn't know when he fell asleep last night, or in other words, he was sleepless all night, just sitting blankly on the cold ground, his mind was blank, he couldn't think of anything, but he was so eager to wait until Dawn breaks in the sky, gradually getting brighter.

On his wrist, the black imprint that once represented his so-called "glory" in the past was aching at untimely intervals—this was a feeling that was impossible to have again, he once thought that maybe this kind of pain Just because I fell into a deeper dream, so...

However, everything is true.

That person is back.

— Alice.

Over the years, he has always wanted to ask a question: why he and she have been running desperately around this world, but still can't escape the endless loop of each other's desperate fate.

The terrible fate has kept them under house arrest on the tall abandoned castle.

"Damn!"

Suddenly, without warning, with his own anger, he punched the wall behind him, and the slender wound on his left middle finger split open again, bleeding profusely.

It was when the man in black who had been ambushing behind the woods for a long time and came prepared to cut him with some sharp weapon while fighting the Nether Corpse.The strange thing is that any healing spell that Snape could think of immediately was useless at that time, his own injured finger was still bleeding, and the crimson blood kept running along the small cut on that finger Drop by drop.

The moment his hand touched his warm blood on the cold skin, he couldn't help trembling.

But these physical pains couldn't wake him up completely after all.

"Can't……"

["You don't know... living in this world, for me... is no different from dying... You don't know, I don't want to see you anymore, I don't want to see us...to be together again ..."]

--don't want.

["...Even if you shouldn't love me, but I can only love you, but I have no choice but to obey... The only thing I can do is, by myself, choose to leave you... ..."]

--no.

He had no choice, but he couldn't refute it with a word.

"...Alice."

In front of Alice, he has always maintained that majestic appearance - in her impression, he may have always been like this.Compared to keeping her from knowing his feelings, he didn't want her to notice his hidden uneasiness and anxiety.

Absolutely not.

Because it only takes a little while for her to quickly discover all these hidden dangers.

——Then, are you going to be desperate for someone again?

No.

absolute.

With such a mood, he admired himself for arguing with her, and at the same time thought of hiding the wounds on his fingers with a cover-up, and using such a rough method to "treat" his wounds—yes, the ground In addition to Alice's blood, part of the blood dripping on the bed belonged to him.

But the most important thing was not this. What made him feel uncomfortable was that someone seemed to be happy to see that Severus Snape was injured.

"I added medicine to the air in the Forbidden Forest, so that the wounds of all the injured people would bleed profusely, so that even if they escaped, the bloodstains would be followed, or they would lose too much blood and die on the road... Heh, he already... "

In fact, everything was faintly revealed to that strange enemy to know her current whereabouts.

That person's purpose, after all, came back to her.

—Have you come this far yet?

An indescribably weird feeling never disappeared after he saw the person he had been seeing all this time, but became more and more intense.

If he hadn't reacted immediately and took Alice and Ian out of there immediately instead of wasting time arguing with Alice in that place, he probably would have fallen into someone's arms.

What should come, will always come.

He sighed helplessly.

In his dizzy mind, the only thing that can still be thought of, perhaps, is the only instruction about her last night, the sentence that had nothing to do with him:

【"As for Ian's matter... I can't take him away immediately, and your school will not allow it, so... Please, take care of him... Anyway, I will go back and explain to his parents what happened today everything, and you just need to make sure that his injury is not serious..."]

—Ian Adler.

With some difficulty, he stood up slowly while leaning on the wall, casually picked up a large amount of hemostatic medicine from the medicine shelf and sprinkled it on the wound. Walk quickly towards the medical wing before the sun rises.

--------------------------------------------------

No matter what time it is, Malfoy Manor will insist on maintaining its inherent aristocratic atmosphere and the practice of "entertaining irrelevant guests for nothing". Therefore, generally few people will take the initiative to come to this place to "disturb".

Moreover, since Mrs. Malfoy and her son are going to France to visit an old friend recently, in this huge manor, only the "abandoned" owner who is here to look after the house is left, and——he is a bit terrible friend".

"Don't tell me, while Narcissa is away, you are here to prepare for the party."

Alice looked bitterly at the elegant platinum-blond long-haired man coming from the entrance of the manor in the distance. With his hands on his hips, he pulled away politely on the edge of a round table covered with tablecloth. Stool, but still can't sit down.

"Oh, Miss 'Brad Miku', of course not."

Lucius was holding a bottle of champagne in his hand, and gave her a symbolic shake, "Looking at you, it seems that something wonderful happened last night, so... I think I'll celebrate it for you. "

"If you are sure that you want to start teasing me as soon as we meet, I can only answer you, this is really not the time." For some reason, when he said this, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and responded with wry smile.

"Now is not the time, so what is the time?"

Lucius put the champagne on the pre-arranged round table, and then, out of nowhere, conjured up a basket similar to his son's picnic outing, unlocked the lock on it, and opened the top cover.

It contained, unexpectedly, a large number of jars and jars, and many of them sealed the openings with some idiosyncratic substance.Since these things have been placed for a long time, the seals on the seals have begun to turn yellow.

"Although I promised you at the beginning to provide you with what you wanted, but...not to mention that your request is getting more and more strange every time, if this continues, I guess I can't satisfy your needs even if I go bankrupt," said Bu. Miss Ryder-Micoud."

He smiled jokingly, but then he sighed helplessly—that was a rare expression for him, and there was some regret in the seriousness.

"...You call me that again, believe it or not, I will continue to add more names after 'Brad Miku' tomorrow..." Alice murmured with her head lowered, she didn't want Lucius to Getting involved made things even more complicated, "... I am also deeply sorry for bothering you to save me."

"If you're self-aware, you might as well go straight back to your 'Mr. S-N-P-P', or else."

He calmly dug out a small glass bottle from the pile of things in the box, opened its seal skillfully, quickly and carefully poured some orange powder into the bottle of champagne he brought over just now, and shook it uniform.

If possible, he would really like to mix a bottle of wine that can quickly dissolve a large amount of deadly poison, so that she can drink it and die immediately.

But things are not that simple, it can end.

Lucius just glanced at her with some weird eyes, and when he saw her start to look back at him with an innocent face, he gave a disdainful "sneer", then continued to focus on bartending, and decided not to Worry about issues that are unnecessary for now.

It looks like ordinary orange powder mixed with full moon night grass and some rare and rare potions.Many of the potions, if it weren't for Lucius, probably wouldn't be found by now.

He wasn't sure if any of these things were useful to her, she just said, she needed them.

"Is it that difficult? For you...you just need to say one sentence..." He had some extra time, thought about it, and finally decided to say one more sentence to her, "In your current situation, since there is only him... "

"Enough, who is he?"

Even the tone of question is, directly is the tone of affirmation.

--who is he.who he thought he was.

She didn't want to hear it.

"Okay, I won't say it." Lucius closed his mouth wisely, and threw the champagne that had been re-corked in his hand directly into her arms, "Remember the last sentence, don't drink too much , and you need to find a place to hide during your drowsy period, otherwise... I'm afraid you'll frighten your——your fiancé."

"Can't you make it less side-effected... Last time I slept for three days and three nights."

Holding the bottle of "medicine", Alice complained to the indifferent Lucius with an ugly face, "Even if Alan doesn't find out what I look like, if I don't go back for three days and three nights, Alan will be worried." ah."

"That's your own business," and it has nothing to do with me—he took out his wand, and after reciting a clean-up spell on the table, he clapped his hands and picked up the things he had just put aside, intending to turn around and go back.

"I can't just find someone to drink the potion to look like you every time just for this, and go back and pretend to be his fiancée."

He knew, and she knew, that all of this must come at a price.

——The so-called "side effects" cannot be avoided.

The mental damage caused by the incident two years ago is inevitable. However, more importantly, for her, even if the physical damage can be recovered little by little within two years, her spirit will never recover. And it is weakening a little bit, everything will only become more and more serious, irreparable.

That's why with each treatment, the lethargic period gets longer and longer.

That was an extremely painful thing.

"Your life was given to you by him. Leaving him will not do you any good. Although, even if you don't leave him, you will still die in his hands in the end... But I always feel that even if you are in a dilemma, This shouldn't be the reason for you to run away, at least...you were once a nobleman, you used to bravely face all the difficulties that happened behind you..."

——Whether you die or live, no matter what the outcome is, at this moment, what is really important.

Alice was taken aback when she heard that, and stood there in a daze for a moment:

"Wait, Lucius."

She suddenly stopped the person who had walked quite a distance, and murmured:

"...He, knows, he already knows."

--yes.

As expected, the other party sighed helplessly, lowered his head and smiled:

"Thinking about it now, back then, that night, when I handed the key to Snape, he was the last... that person, and it was right to say that he was a bit stupid—he still decided to take the key and sneak into the dungeon without fear of death. When the 'Shirley' was rescued, as a Death Eater, Severus Snape, unless I misunderstood the person, otherwise, he shouldn't have that kind of kindness..."

After a pause, he turned around suddenly, and took another serious look at the people in the distance behind him:

"So, I thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out. For a person like him, if the real identity of 'Shirley' was Lily Evans, maybe he would really do this, but instead of you……"

——Alice Miku.

She already knew what he was going to say.

"No!"

She walked up suddenly, grabbed the other person's arm with some excitement, and stood in front of him, "...Lucius, do you know that person..."

"Miss Alice Miku," but the tone of the other party suddenly became tough and serious, and she stopped her words sharply, "No, absolutely, no."

Before she finished speaking, he already knew what she was going to do. The request that she could make her stop him so excitedly in an instant must be something only he knew and could do.

But he had to savagely dismiss the idea.

"Do you remember, a long time ago, when I first invited you to join here, to cooperate with him, to serve that person together, what I said?"

He turned his head and looked at her with a pale face, with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "I have to advise you, you are still not on our side...Although, if you really want to join us, I will also stand for that person." You are welcome, but..."

——If you don't have this idea, then you'd better be smart and keep a proper distance from Severus Snape.

"You have to know that the distance between you and him is no longer the same as it used to be."

All these things are no longer up to you alone.

"Lucius..."

Alice's throat suddenly choked, and she felt that she couldn't say anything more.

"Don't always make up your own mind, Alice."

He walked over and put his hand lightly on her trembling shoulder, "Seek good luck, I can't tell you more things, and I may not be able to help you with the rest, but you should do your best to help me." This is a joke Merlin made for you, no matter what you plan to sacrifice, you will never get rid of it in this lifetime."

— Fate is always making its merciless judgment on you.

After finishing speaking, he turned around and didn't say any more, just silently picked up his things, and gradually disappeared before her eyes, leaving her alone in a daze, thinking about something and thinking about it.

It seems that the world has fallen into the abyss from a long time ago, so I am lost on the way back, and it is impossible to return to the original time when everything returned to silence.

Everything is restless, everyone is so deeply disturbed.

She felt that the life of rebirth that she had finally adapted to was about to collapse again.

--------------------------------------------------

In the end, what is considered to be escape, and it is impossible to escape.

"Holy Mother, I don't know."

Like an ordinary Muggle girl, she knelt down in the chapel where she always liked to stay, raised her head, stared at the sculpture of the White Jade Virgin, and remained silent.

——The pledge in March was destroyed in Fusang in June, a family was destroyed because of selfishness and guilt, the mermaid tears linked to life smashed the lover's heart, death is inevitable but can rewrite fate twice, All axioms will end in disguised justice, and then they will be reborn safely in the arms of the mandala, and will dissolve for a bunch of blue irises in the hands of the loved one.

In the end, when will it end?

One after another reincarnation, beginning, no end.

Muggles believe in gods, because in the real world, they need something that exists like a god in spirit, and when they lose their direction and are confused, they need to guide them.

But who has really seen him, just when he felt that his heart was full of sins, he got up and came to such a holy place, knelt down, and prayed silently.

Will it work, no one knows.

But that is at least a psychological belief.

"But I don't even know what to believe, what else to believe."

Her sins would not lead her to come here, just like the most ordinary person, trying to wash away all kinds of guilt in her heart through such actions.

She didn't want to believe it, and what she should believe was the whole truth.

In the place where she lives now, there is no less tranquility than in Miku's other courtyard that day.Every day, as long as you do what you want to do peacefully, with someone who will cherish you, and think about nothing, even if it is a kind of deception, it will also make people feel sincerely comforted.

Therefore, when Ellen Brad planned to leave London and return to her ancestral mansion in Sistine to recuperate at that time, she agreed to him almost without thinking and went with him.

It was also at that time that Allen held her hand openly, and happily announced to the people around him:

"Thank God, Xilea, you will become my second wife, cherished and cherished by Alan Brad."

At that time, she should be happy.

Because she should have got what she always wanted but didn't have.

However, she didn't.

——In my heart, there is a sense of guilt, which is getting worse day by day.

It was as if there were two absolute forces with completely opposite opinions, tearing apart desperately in my heart.

However, she knew in her heart that it would take a long time to get used to all new things for herself.So, she doesn't care about these things, she just cheers up again, hoping to start another part of her life from here, in this place, with a certain person.That way, as long as you believe in this, you should be able to get better soon.

"I'm Shilea... Brad."

I'm just her.

"Even if God wants me to pay a huge price, or even take away my body, as long as he can live well and be happy, I will... willingly accept all of this, your punishment for me. "

— Atonement.

"Do you think I will be willing?"

—to make you fool yourself here?

Suddenly, the door of the church was pushed open, and a tall figure appeared behind her unexpectedly with a familiar voice, causing her to open her eyes wide and startled.

"……you……"

Shilea—Alice knew who it was.

The author has something to say: Miss author:

Oh my dear (just omit a hundred words later) Lucius finally appeared again.

Then I met Alice as soon as I came out (so I said that my brain is too big)

If Sev knows that there are so many male bankers around his future wife, will his head be fuming... (the brain hole is too big)

Well, let's go to the last part soon, Miss Author is playing a big game of chess.

Mr. Author:

I'm looking for the BUG written by Ms. Author below...

Sev, no, professor, your days are going to be good...

☆, 19.3

The medical wing has been a little too quiet lately.

Since Ian moved in, no one has visited him in the medical wing except his sister Elena came to visit yesterday.But it's true to think about it, I am such a troublesome ghost who likes to cause trouble on weekdays, let alone friends, even if I don't hate myself, there are not many people who "don't hate" me.

"... I don't know what happened to Miss Xilea after that day..."

In the middle of the night, he was lying on the hospital bed looking at the empty ceiling of the medical wing. He opened his eyes and counted the sheep in his mind in a bored way. He remembered that he had never seen him since he lost consciousness after his accident in the Forbidden Forest that day. Even if she asked Elena about the whereabouts of Miss Xilea, she said with a sigh that she had never contacted Xilea again.

——"Also, my father said, if you sneak into places like the Forbidden Forest again, you'll come to Hogwarts right away and break your legs with a cane."

Thinking of this, Ian felt that he was really useless.

It was obviously hard for her to trust her and let herself do something very important to her, but in the end it was because of him that the whole thing was messed up.

"...that necklace."

When he woke up, the necklace that was supposed to be given to Xilea in his hand was gone.Just like he didn't even know who attacked them and who saved him, he didn't know the whereabouts of the necklace, he only knew that everything disappeared after one night like a dream.

——Do you want to sit still and wait for death?

He suddenly felt a little startled, but he was surprised that he suddenly had an idea in his heart:

"...Being broken by my father seems to be... not bad."

After reading, he dragged his body that was a little stiff from being bedridden for a long time, and tiptoed out of the bed. After looking around to make sure that there was no one in the medical wing late at night, he quietly sneaked to the door, and then ran in the huge empty corridor. .

The temptation of the Forbidden Forest to him may be far more than the thrill of disobeying the elder's order.

He may have been doing these "rebellious" things all the time, which is why he appears so rebellious and disobedient in the eyes of others.

But who knew that he was actually frightened a long time ago, maybe.

The weeds and pebbles in the Forbidden Forest made his feet hurt, and he regretted that he came out in a hurry without even putting on his shoes.There was a vague fluorescent color around it, as if the eyes could distinguish the outline of things in the darkness of night after the eyes got used to the darkness.

"The last time Shilea and I were there..."

He tried his best to recall the place where he lost consciousness for the last time, but the huge taboo place was like a maze to him.Trying to find an exact place is like looking for a needle in a haystack, let alone looking for something that you don't even know exists.

"……necklace……"

——If I can still find that necklace here...

Then, maybe we can meet Xilea.

He hoped so earnestly, that's why he has been running without hesitation.

But who he will meet on the road has never been his final decision.

"You look pretty good, you don't seem to be frightened at all, Ian Adler."

A familiar voice appeared in his ears unexpectedly, and Ian stopped in surprise, but unexpectedly tripped over his feet and staggered back and fell to the ground.

He obviously rushed here in a hurry, but suddenly he deliberately slowed down his pace when approaching the target, as if he was afraid that others would know his origin——Snape walked slowly through the gloomy forest, only glanced around At a glance, Ian Adler was found, and the whole process didn't take much effort.

"...Snape taught...professor..."

——In fact, Ian wanted to say that he was frightened by Snape.

He didn't dare to think why the other party came here at this time, and he actually ran into him.

"You...why did you come here!?" He was a little excited and forgot the proper etiquette, and pointed at his professor, shouting, "I...I'm not..."

Being caught at the scene of a crime by the professor who didn't like him the most, although it wasn't the first time he encountered such a thing, but being caught under such circumstances, he knew that he would definitely not be able to evade it this time passed.

It's a pity that my younger sister didn't witness this scene, otherwise, she would definitely die laughing secretly in the dormitory alone under the pillow when she went back.

"Oh, looking for you."

Snape stated in the usual flat but intimidating tone, completely ignoring how disrespectful his students were to him at the moment, but his attitude seemed surprisingly good, "You should know why I came Find yours..."

Although no matter what his attitude was, his face was always expressionless, but Ian still couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.

"Looking for me?" Why are you looking for me... Ian looked at him with wide eyes. Although he was pretending to be puzzled, he knew in his heart what he was looking for.

——It's over, my father will definitely break my leg when I go back now.

His mouth was kept wide open, which made Snape amused too - of course, he didn't laugh easily.

"Don't be so surprised, I didn't come here to boil you for potions."

He suddenly let out a long breath, and recalled the scene a long time ago in his mind - Snape knew the child Ian Adler, definitely not because he became his student.

"Ian Adler, I actually met you in London a year ago before you entered school."

At that time, he left the wizarding world and returned to the place where Muggles stayed, wandering aimlessly alone - the house in Spider's End had been vacant for a long time, but he didn't plan to stay there for long.Of course, he wanted to find her, but he didn't know where to start.

On the bustling street, people who come and go are people he doesn't know.The only advantage of this is that no one will know his identity, so he can hide here unscrupulously, as a person without identity.

However, to his surprise, he was far from the only person who had this idea.

"Your father—the Duke of Adler, he is a very outstanding person. He can use his status and identity to find the best sales channel for magic potions in the Muggle world. This is what I know Admired."

At least, that's the truth.

but.

"I don't know, do you remember, about two years ago, when you were sitting on the steps of your father's drug store, someone who looked like a four-fifth uncle came up to you and asked, do you What's in the bottle you're holding?"

"Bottle?" Ian frowned and lowered his head trying to recall, "There are no bottles..."

"Think again? There must be something, anyway, what are you holding in your hand?"

Snape relentlessly asked him again, "Impossible, you must know."

--Is that so?

Ian frowned, and paused in distress, as if he suddenly thought of something, and clapped his hands with a "snap", "Oh? You mean, a palm-sized glass bottle?"

—Oh, of course I remembered.

He said, probably that day.

"...If you are talking about that day, it is actually my sister's and I's birthday. My father said that he would take us to the Sistine to meet a sister, so we were going to set off... Before we set off, my father took another There is something shiny in the glass bottle... By the way, it looks like a grass... In short, it was given to me, and it was said that I would give it to Xilea in the Sistine as a gift."

He unconsciously uttered the familiar name "Xileia", but he didn't expect that when the other party heard him say this name, his face had already changed more than half.

Ian blinked his brown eyes, and looked at the person in front of him with some inexplicable eyes.

"Hileia, but I like my sister very much... So, even if the professor hates me because of the things I messed up in your class, I won't regret that it was Sileia who taught me magic."

As he said this, the corners of Snape's mouth rose quietly for a second, flashing an expression of joking or joy.

"you like her?"

That day, when Snape single-handedly decided to follow the Adler family to the Sistine, he found that the person who came out to greet them was a man named "Alan Brad"...

"...I..." Ian suddenly felt a little shy, and reached out his hand to touch the back of his head in embarrassment, "She just treats me like a child, and I like this..." He hesitated to speak, and looked up It was the eyes of the "third person" who was eager to know what happened to him and her before——Professor Snape's eyes, which he always felt made people tremble.

But he also felt that the trembling was not all the terrible feeling he felt before.He froze for a moment, thought of something, then suddenly changed his mind, and blurted out:

"Let's not talk about this... Oh, yes, I suddenly remembered that the person who greeted us that day was Xilea's fiancé, Mr. Alan Brad, although my father asked me to address him as Professor Brad , but, how should I put it... In short, we actually gave that bottle of shiny grass to Mr. Brad in the end."

As for the person standing next to Brad, she introduced herself as "Hileia Brad".

"Mr. Adler..."

Snape paused, interrupting Ian's continued thinking. After thinking for a while, he spoke again, "Ian, tell me what kind of person you know Shilia Brad."

He wanted to know this, because for him, maybe he really didn't know anything about her in the past two years.

——Even if he knew where she was, he never knew what she meant.

Maybe that's why, Severus Snape, he was rejected.

"Miss Xilea..."

Ian suddenly blushed again, and after taking a deep breath, he slowly said: "She...she is a very good person, gentle and kind, and he doesn't care that I'm a...uh, I He's a troublesome troublemaker, everyone around me says so, so..."

"Oh, do you know that that woman is also a troublesome ghost?"

Snape clicked his tongue, "Who is she, do you know?"

"I know," Ian suddenly became confident, or in other words, when he was suddenly asked this way, he felt a little angry in his heart, and said it as if he didn't understand at all:

"Miss Xilea is from London. Later, because her parents passed away, she went to the Sistine with Mr. Brad to settle down. She likes gardening and reading. Every time I go to her place, she doesn't mind
