HP One More Chance.

May death not leave, go to death without fear.

Now, she is still alive, and she has the opportunity to choose her own life again, but she is still obsessed, and she just wants to dedicate herself to the devil again for the sake of the people around her as the price for others to live well.

——What a fool, Alice Miku.

How stupid are you?

Even though she was nothing to him, she was still her, undeniable.No matter how ordinary a person is, no one else can do things that deprive her of her life over and over again.

——But Severus Snape, how could you be so indifferent?

In the dungeon, Lily pointed at him and scolded him, as expected.

He, Severus Snape, now it seems that he is indeed a person who has become unscrupulous for what he wants, and has become no different from an inhuman devil.

"…………I……"

Will not.

——I already owe her too much.

"...Wake up, Alice...Alice! Wake up!"

He called her name over and over again, but there was still no response.Although Harry was still crying hard behind him, he ignored it and couldn't hear it at all.

He just hugged her who was almost breathless, desperate as if he couldn't do anything.

"...Don't go."

【"But, you forgot, so why should I bring it up?"】

She has always been hiding her feelings for him just like he hides the most sincere self in his heart.

"Hey, Severus, if...if, you could..."

Ah, forget it.

He fell asleep, completely unaware of her sitting beside him and watching him quietly.

In addition to feeling a warm feeling covering his skin, maybe she reached out and gently stroked his pale face.The movement was very light, as if he was afraid of disturbing or breaking something.

Indeed, for a quarter of an hour, he felt a sense of peace of mind, allowing him to maintain this state of sleep for a whole day.

——It's too tiring.

"Well, you need to rest."

I know it, I've always known it...

Alice knew that he was the kind of person who would risk his life for what he wanted to protect.She actually wanted to do that too, at least on this point, she admired Severus for doing it.

However, the consequences of doing so are often not good.

"If you don't want to get up, then just keep sleeping and don't bother you."

She spoke to herself, and after she finished speaking, she got up and planned to turn around and leave, but she didn't expect that just as she was about to take the first step forward, her hands were tightly grasped by another pair of cold hands.

"...Don't go."

His hoarse voice came to her ears through the air, and he held her hand tightly. Even if Alice instinctively wanted to break free at first, he would never let go.

Holding hands tightly, don't let go.

——Who is the person in front of you?

"I am me, you know that?"

——This is me, not her, have you made it clear?Severus.

"...Is there really nothing I can do about you...heh..."

She chuckled helplessly, but it implied that she was laughing at herself.

"Sev, I'm not leaving."

She turned around rashly, and pushed back his hand that was on hers.Then, as if nothing had happened, he sat back beside the sofa naturally, watching him fall asleep quietly.

Just like that afternoon, with a smile and a mixed feeling.

——What he can't see through, what he can't understand, what he doesn't care about.

"Maybe, the person I love the most now is you..."

only you.

Longhandwrittennotedeepinyourpocket

The long handwritten note has already fallen deep in your pocket

Word how little they mean when you're a little tool

Every word is so important, but it's too late

Goodgirlshopeforthere'llbeandlonelywillwait

The girl waited with hope, but all she got in return was loneliness

"Alice, what a pity..." A sigh came out of Kuro's mouth, and the constantly changing pictures in the crystal ball finally stopped in the darkness, as if deliberately preventing people from seeing clearly what happened inside. nothing the same.

—Secrets, tricks, ulterior motives, hatred.

All intertwined.

"Hey, Merlin, I said earlier that if you arrange things like this, it will only make them more miserable in the end."

The magician with dark blue hair came out slowly from the heavy curtains, and the round glass lens refracted the only light source in this space in front of his eyes - the ever-changing candlelight, enveloping all the thoughts buried in his eyes.

No one can clearly see the development and follow-up of the plot.

"Well... But, little Crow, I told you, don't rush to draw conclusions so quickly... You know, everything is still unknown."

But the voice refuting him came from another direction. The old man in the silver-green robe calmly walked to the crystal ball, and with a wave of his sleeves, the muddy crystal ball became bright again.

He raised his head meaningfully and glanced at Clow, "Look, cute little Alice is coming."

"Ok?"

After finishing speaking, Kuro turned his head interestingly following his words, and looked outside the door that was suddenly opened with a "squeak".From the darkness of nothingness, slowly walking towards the two "old men" was the dying person who appeared in another world in the crystal ball just a moment ago.

—Like a water-blue iris, a blue fairy.

Alice Miku.

Fortunately, she didn't seem to know why she was here.

"Long time no see, good evening, Miss Alice Miku."

Crow narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled and greeted the girl walking towards him kindly.

"……Who are you……"

Seeing the almost unfamiliar scene in front of him, the other party answered blankly, with a bewildered expression on his face, "He is... Grandpa Merlin, and... wait, why am I here again..."

"It's best to ask yourself this question, little Alice." As if she had predicted it early in the morning, Merlin suddenly let go, showing an inexplicable smile, "...Do you still remember when you were reborn? , what did you promise me?"

--correct.

Back then, when she died for the first time, she met the old man Merlin in the sea of ​​consciousness, and then Merlin granted her a ridiculous wish.At first, she thought it was a joke, but she didn't expect that everything came true after that.However, as the price for this wish, Merlin asked her to swear, "As long as you promise me that you won't give up your life for the second time."

"I...I...I'm not..." Alice opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Are you serious? How is it possible..."

--no way.

"But... If my wish can't come true, then I can't promise the promise you made me promise at the beginning."

Alice suddenly answered so confidently, "Grandpa Merlin, are you kidding me?"

If he wants to live freer and happier than himself, he can only exchange it with himself. This is the only rule.

Obviously, it has always been like this.

"Is that so, that's what you thought."

"what happened?"

"It's nothing." Hearing the girl's reply, Kuro, who had been on the sidelines, stepped forward to talk to her, "Do you think...it's really like this, so simple? Before you see the facts clearly, why did you again…………"

Suddenly, he stopped talking and just sighed:

"But all of this...it's not like this, Miss Miku, Alice..."

At least, you are wrong.

After finishing speaking, he fell into silence again.The three of them looked at each other without saying a word, and they seemed to agree with each other, until one of them felt that something was wrong, so he brought the topic up again.

"Why can't it be like this? Opportunities can only be obtained by exchange." Alice said seriously, word by word.

"Do not."

Ku Luo smiled, took a step forward, and interrupted her nonsense, "Do you think this would be the best way? Or, even if we give you another chance to be reborn, would you still Will you still do it?"

This time, his questioning put Alice in a situation where she couldn't answer.

——Even if we give you another chance to be reborn, will you still do this?

However, apart from being able to do this, I have long been useless.

Is not it?

She suddenly felt that there was a feeling of sadness welling up in her heart, like a rough sea tide beating against the rocks on the shore, but finally died on the uninhabited beach, without a good end.Because the other party's words actually made her feel that she was actually a much more pathetic person than she imagined.

"But I... have no choice but to do this."

——There is no doubt about it.

"yes."

Crow smiled wryly, and instead walked slowly to her, getting closer to her.He squatted down, raised his head and quietly looked up at her aqua blue eyes inherited from the Miku family blood, meditating but no longer speaking.

——When did this originally clear azure become so cloudy?

There, like an abyss, people can't see how deep it is, but people can see through the superficial appearance from the rippling water surface at a glance.

"...Until the very end, you lived and died for him, Alice... Do you know that you are really similar to your father..."

"Alike? You mean, me and my father?"

"Yes, you, and your father."

——Sometimes, the road of no return does not mean that there is no turning back, but it just shows that this road may not come to an end in our entire life.

He said meaningfully, reaching out to caress Alice's cheek, but silently reciting a spell in his heart, examining her soul condition.

Gray and dark blue are intertwined, cloudy and gloomy - it represents that her soul is heading towards the stage of shattering.

"Is it necessary? Just for one person," he asked again, but his tone was not a question but an endless sigh. "You could have chosen a better one..."

"But to me, he has already surpassed the existence of this world to me."

- This, for me, is good enough.

Alice suddenly closed her eyes in pain, and chose not to stare at the powerful magician in front of her, and tried her best to forcibly close her heart and not allow him to look at it.

"Enough, let's call it a day."

"That's it."

Crow had no choice but to turn around and smile apologetically at Merlin who had been watching their conversation behind him.But Merlin also replied with an apologetic smile, expressing that he was overwhelmed by this, and there was nothing else he could do.

The two magicians gave each other a wink. Although they didn't say it clearly, they both knew what to do.

moment,

"Okay then, since that's the case, let's go."

"Ok?"

Before Alice figured out the situation, she only heard a snap of her fingers, and then a powerful magic dragged her into the vortex of time and space.She suddenly disappeared in front of the two magicians with a puzzled look, just like she had appeared here in an instant at first.

The crystal ball placed on the table has returned to a state of pitch black at this moment.But both Merlin and Kuro knew that at this moment, in another world, everything was changing up and down, not the monotonous black they saw.

Nothing is too simple.

"Am I right? She will definitely change a lot of things." After a long time, Merlin walked up to Kuro confidently, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Together with the tragedy."

"It's too early for you to say that, Merlin." With some disdain, Ku Luo seemed to see the meaning of the other party, and chuckled, "If she...wasn't just born in Miku's house, and Miku The Ku family... just happened to be favored by you, and inherited a small part of your

If the bloodlines are divided, I am afraid that her soul will have disappeared in the morning, "

What's more, it is extremely difficult to restore her severely injured soul.

"I would say, don't always judge so prematurely, little Craw."

Merlin turned around, then slowly walked to a bookshelf behind him, carefully searched for the titles of the books, and then took out one of them from the bottom row of books, "Alice Micoud".

——The Book of Yuan Zu.

"Trust me, she will be fine. Since...she is not afraid of death anymore, what can trouble her? She has been very strong to achieve her goal." Merlin responded confidently.

"You know?" Kuro glanced at him, "I don't even know."

"Of course, you're just Kuro, and I'm Merlin."

Merlin laughed loudly, "Look carefully, she is the one who will perform miracles next."

The author has something to say: Regarding the conversation between Merlin and Crow, please go back to the end of 8.1.

The few English lyrics used in 12.1 are from "TaylorSwift-SadBeautifulTragic", hereby noted.

Starting from Chapter Twelve, I finally waited until the author came back to clean up the mess...Suddenly, it seemed like a heavy burden was relieved, and I let out a long sigh of relief.After discussing with the author for two nights, I also readily finalized the content of the next few chapters, which is great.

Come on.

☆、Small Theater III

The author has something to say: Happy New Year~~~

This year is the second year of OMC serialization~~

special update

Thanks Miss Author...

Thank you all for your support! !

【Goat vs. Bat.】

1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 10 minutes, half an hour...

"...what happened, Severus?"

When little Alice finally stood impatiently behind the big tree, she flashed her little head and began to look around nervously.She naively thought that when she voluntarily surrendered, the somewhat "cunning" Severus hiding in another dark place would catch her in one fell swoop.

In fairy tales, the wolf eats up Little Red Riding Hood like this.

——A pleasant game of hide and seek.

But, but.

"Who are you..." Little Alice opened her watery blue eyes wide and stared at the old man in white robes who floated over at some point in front of her, "I don't know you, Mr. Goat, you who is it?"

That old man has a long beard, like a snow-white goat.

"Oh, little Alice, it's good to see you."

Dumbledore showed a kind smile, walked over kindly and reached out to hug this "shrunk version" of Alice, but she suddenly avoided it mischievously.

It just so happened that when he stepped back again, his back bumped into a firm embrace.

She laughed in surprise, and when she saw those warm arms wrapping her around her waist, she knew it must be her dear Severus who had found her.

"Sev!" Her voice sounded as sweet as fresh strawberries to Severus.

"Alice," he leaned close to her ear and whispered in a low voice, "If you call him (pointing to Dumbledore standing opposite them by the way) Old Bee, I think it would be more appropriate."

But Alice started to be naughty again, and she started to mess with Severus' clothes:

"But, Sev, Grandpa's style of clothing is much better than yours! It smells like milk and fluffy white clouds."

— not like you, look, dressed in dark, like mold.

Alice suddenly turned back to stare at his black eyes with some frustration, "It's like hiding in a cave in a deep mountain... Well, what a scary bat, Alice is afraid..."

Severus suddenly felt a sense of crisis emerge from the bottom of his heart, "What did you say?"

Alice only felt that his hand holding her was getting tighter, so she pursed her mouth and looked at Uncle Goat with red eyes, and said softly, "...well, Uncle Goat, Sev... Sev he……"

Dumbledore shot Severus with a bad look.

—Look, you scared the kids.

But that was the subtext after all, Dumbledore didn't say it, just smiled and said to little Alice, "Then grandpa took you to eat sweets? I just brought back a lot of sweets from the Duke of Bee that you must like." .”

Hurry up and go with grandpa.Dumbledore was waving to Alice temptingly, as if he was already holding a bunch of lollipops in his hand, and it was Alice's favorite honey milk flavor.

"...But, but..." Alice continued to poke her mouth, but her eyes had already become sparkling, "Severus said not to eat too much sweets, it will cause tooth decay..."

In the next second, looking back, little Alice started to blink and attack Severus.

"Sev, don't be angry."

Severus was struck by her expression all of a sudden, and his heart seemed to bloom with joy.

——Bingo~

A kiss fell on little Alice's smooth face without paying attention, and crimson immediately covered her sweet smiling face.

"Chu~ Little Ais loves Sif the most!"

Grandpa goat or something, probably just a cloud.

—What is in the eyes of the lover Severus?

"Of course it's the super invincible and cute little Alice!"

☆, 12.2

"...Don't go."

[If you don't leave, you won't stay here and wait for me. 】

"...Hey, Alice, don't be kidding, wake up... wake up! I'm here... wake up... wake up..."

Snape kept shaking the person in his arms in panic, shouting at the top of his voice.

The long echo lingered for a long time, but even so, she had no way to respond to him, not even one sentence:

【...You finally recognized it? 】

--How long?How long have you forgotten me.

It's been so long that this world has already reincarnated twice, but I still die in front of you, and I can't escape such a tragic ending.

— Goodbye?

【Do not. 】

The faint breath that was still there disappeared without a trace in an instant, and with the passage of life, it fell into an eternal stillness.

Indreams, Imeetyouinlongconversation.

Weboth wake in lonely beds, and different cities.

Andtimeistickingasweetsummerraceinyou.

And you've got your demons and darling they all look like me. (I turned into a devil and an angel, live in your heart)

Causewehadabeautifulmagiclovethere. (Just because we had a love, dreamy, beautiful)

Whatasadbeautifultragicloveaffair. (And now, it's just a beautiful tragedy)

So, maybe it's the last.

Suddenly, a strong wind swept in from the window, burying the two of them in a dark vortex.

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

"Hey, wake up...Hey, wake up...Who are you, why are you in my room...Hey..."

Feeling a cold touch slapping his face rhythmically, Snape reluctantly opened his eyes, but found that a glaring light stimulated his eyes, and it was very difficult to open them to see .

—Who is it?

"...Hey, if you pretend to be asleep again, I'll just throw an expulsion spell on you and throw you outside...Hey...wake up..."

The voice lingered in his ears more and more clearly, but before he could hear what the other party wanted to say, a sudden spell really mercilessly hit the floor beside him with a "cracking" sound.

He opened his eyes suddenly and quickly turned over to avoid the arrogant spell.

"I told you to be careful, my wand doesn't have eyes."

Telling you to pretend to be asleep, you deserve it, hum.Alice crossed her legs and hugged her chest, sat on the low table next to the bed and stared at him with a displeased face, muttering nonstop.A very neat Ravenclaw school uniform doesn't feel too outlandish on her, but her long brown hair that grows to her waist looks like she just woke up, messy, and doesn't take care of it To make myself look more refreshed.

"...Alice!"

After finally seeing the person coming, he couldn't help exclaiming for a moment.

But the other party didn't buy it at all, obviously tired of his pretending to be stupid, and continued to say mercilessly:

"Hey, stranger, why do you know my name!" Her tone was full of impoliteness, and her breath was like a cat with a blown hair, "Why did you appear in my room if you didn't tell me? Be careful I really throw you out of here right away!"

After finishing speaking, she walked to the wall next to the bed where his back was facing, and with a "wow", she opened the curtains and pushed the glass window open.A gust of cold wind rushed in through the small open window, and Snape couldn't help shivering.

"Why don't you tell me? I'm in danger now, and... don't cheat in front of me, be careful that I'll tie you up and drag you to the square to wait for the dormitory supervisor to clean you up!"

He was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.

--stranger?

"You don't know me?" he asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Nonsense, if I know you, do I still need to ask who you are?"

Alice frowned angrily, and glanced at him impatiently, "...see you dressed like a ghost... oh, no," she paused, realizing that she It was too early to draw a conclusion, so she leaned her head slightly and examined him as if observing a strange creature. After a long while, she uttered a few more words, "Like a bat, an out-and-out bat."

"Do I look weird? You really don't know who it is?" Snape asked her again, confused.

"If you don't know, you don't know. Now... I just know that you are a vicious intruder dressed like a thief!"

"I look like a thief?" He suddenly smiled wryly at her pretending to be surprised, "Ghost, bat, thief... I am, I really want to know what other adjectives you can use to describe me, Alice Miku."

"Don't call me by my name directly! You and I don't know each other!"

She spoke confidently, and immediately made people feel that she had the demeanor of a noble lady—of course, the premise was to ignore her words that were not "ladylike" at all.

"I'm Severus Snape, don't you know me?"

"In the 17 years since I was a child, I have never had the impression that I have ever known a person like you, and his name is still 'Severus Snape'... What a joke, you want to evade or explain you You can tell me a lot of reasons why you appear here, but you just want to make up the most ugly one, saying that you know me...it's obviously a lie..."

The second half of the sentence was obviously said by Alice herself, and a disdainful smile appeared on her face.After saying that, she turned her head to the side, no longer looking at the person "full of lies and nonsense" sitting on the ground, but the wand in her hand was pointing at him involuntarily.

"You have two choices now, either, disappear from here immediately, or, you can enjoy the private treatment of Miss Ben, personally tie you up to find the dormitory supervisor, and then you..."

"And then you're going to hand me over to him and tell him I'm an intruder... so what?"

Snape interrupted her, but a menacing sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth again, "Think about it, this lady...do you think I will be threatened by you so easily, and then obediently listen to you If you leave?" His tone suddenly became serious again, "I don't think I can be threatened by you, besides, if there is a fight, I might kidnap you, but I don't think it will be you who kidnapped me. Bound and dragged away."

--interesting.

That's funny, the one who says he doesn't know him, Miss Alice Miku.

"You...you...if you dare to touch me, I will cut off your hands and feet!"

At this time, Alice, who had always been fearless, finally realized that something was wrong, and began to panic. She stepped back quickly, and then held her wand tightly with both hands and yelled at him. .

--Ah.

"As an elegant lady, don't say that this will not intimidate others, but also scare others

If you make people laugh, please pay attention to your image... and, "

"Shut up." Snape said, and pulled out his wand from his robes with lightning speed, and rushed straight to Alice, who was frozen in place, and grabbed her by the left hand. hand, and then covered her mouth with his right hand, and dragged her who was struggling into the open wardrobe behind her.

"Hey, what are you doing! Let me go! I... um... um..."

"If you keep arguing, I'll turn you into a dumb... Shhh..."

There are people outside.

He kept silent, hid in the closet and waited intently for the person who suddenly entered Alice's room to appear.At the beginning, he didn't intend to let go of his hand covering her mouth at all, until Alice struggled desperately just now, and pulled his robe desperately, almost tearing his clothes When it was torn, he turned his head and saw her flushed, and realized that she seemed to be unable to breathe, and was looking at him in pain.

"...Uh...uh..." Alice stared at him with wide eyes. Although she couldn't see anything in the dark closet, she knew that if the other party didn't let go, she might die like this Lost.

"Sorry, someone was going to come in from outside just now."

He quickly let go of his hand, and then cast a soundproof spell around the two of them, "It's all right, I offended you just now in a hurry, sorry."

"...You...Of course you..." Alice suddenly looked at him with resentful eyes, her hands were still pressing on her chest, trying to catch her breath so that she could say a few words, "...Okay Yes, you won... I now believe that you are not a thief..."

What a wicked bandit!Describing him as a "thief" is too cheap! ——Alice thought so in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it in front of him, she could only show a resentful expression, and obediently closed her mouth.

——If you say it, you may be killed by him in the next second.

But the other party had no intention of killing her at all.

"As I said at the beginning, I didn't mean anything malicious, and..." Snape kept his voice down as much as possible, while keeping an eye on the movement outside the closet, he continued to speak to her:

"Alice Miku, it doesn't matter if you don't know me now, can you please... tell me, where is this place now, and what is the time?"

"Time? Don't you know..."

—Yes, without a doubt.

Snape thought for a long time, and finally realized what was wrong with all this.

"I want to know the current location and time. Of course, I can guess some things even if you don't tell them, but I just want to know the exact information."

"How simple is that..." Alice smacked her lips, "Here is the dormitory for Ravenclaw students in Hogwarts, my room...Of course, there are two other people living here with me ... As for the time, let me think about it," she pondered, then paused and continued, "I can't tell you how many minutes and seconds, but I know the date, December 1977, 12 .”

—December 12th...?

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered that she still had an important banquet to attend tonight.

"……Oops,"

——Tonight is Christmas, that is to say, the awarding ceremony of the Potion Competition of the Academy Cup will also be held tonight...

"Oops..."

She was shocked for a moment, turned her head and planned to get up and push open the door of the closet and go out from this narrow space.Unexpectedly, without saying a word, Snape held down her hand that was about to open the cabinet door, grabbed her hand again, and pulled her to his side.

Now, she really couldn't move.

"...Do you want to run away?" He sneered, and the other free hand was holding his wand against her forehead, "Or...do you want to die here now."

"If you are not polite to me, you will be the one who died."

Alice's voice suddenly became sly, "Do you want to try it? Don't think that if you grab my hand, I really can't move."

"It's up to you," Snape said disapprovingly. He obviously felt that she had nothing to threaten him, and he didn't even look at her. "You're really noisy... Hey! Shut up! You!!"

Unexpectedly, he suddenly yelled in the next second, and a heart-piercing pain instantly came from the hand that was holding her.He gritted his teeth and looked in the direction of the other party, only then did he see that the woman who was driven mad by him was opening her mouth to expose her "fangs" and biting down on his hand fiercely.

"Let go! Hey!"

— let go!

The person who shouted "Let go" now is not Alice who was at a disadvantage a moment ago.

Snape desperately withdrew his hand from her teeth, and then looked at her smugly in front of him, although he knew she was beside him in the dark, but he couldn't see anything clearly.

Suddenly, an incredible and familiar feeling flowed through his heart like warm water, making his heart tremble inexplicably.

There was still a trace of heat on the back of his hand, and a circle of neat tooth marks left on his hand mercilessly with blood.He was at a loss, even though he recited a hemostatic spell to himself, the tooth marks were still there and couldn't be removed no matter what.

Silently guessing, Alice saw through the panic under his pretended calmness, and said triumphantly:

"Look, I won't let you win for long."

"You crazy woman!"

Fortunately, it was not in a bright place outside, otherwise, when Snape could see her current appearance clearly, he would be so angry that his seven orifices would be smoking.

"You think this is fun?" Strangely, saying this
