3 hours later.

3:05pm

Ministry of Magic, Basement 3.

The cracked wooden door was broken into pieces, and the floor of the corridor was covered with cracks and scorched black.

Jim lay unconscious on the ground, with bruises on his head from the blow, blood all over his thighs, and bones from the lacerations.Lupine sat down beside him and coughed a few times. He didn't turn his head until all the dust in front of his eyes cleared, and hurriedly shook Jim, who had his eyes closed.

"Jim!" Lupine hurriedly waved his wand, giving temporary first aid, "Wake up!"

The other party closed his eyes and did not answer him.

Lupine stroked his chest, and he said to another Auror running up, "He's alive! Need first aid! Call someone!"

The screaming and fleeing Ministry staff from the sudden explosion basically evacuated the floor, followed by the Aurors and others, and Kingsley hurriedly asked, "What's going on?!"

The therapist who arrived took Jim away.Lupine barely stood up, his arm hurt.

"Rodosov ran anyway."

Kingsley frowned, and said in a calm command, "Continue to evacuate the people on the fourth floor, check how many casualties there are, and be careful."

"And..." Lupine paused, "If there is still hope, hurry up and find Adolf, maybe he is still alive."

The Aurors who arrived beside him, as well as the people from the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters took over the rescue and management one after another. Finally, Percy, who followed Kingsley, got the order and left in a hurry.Lupine was also scheduled for treatment, but he did not leave the Ministry of Magic.

After half an hour.

2nd floor, Auror Command.

The late Snape and Professor McGonagall met the injured Lupine.

"What happened?" McGonagall asked worriedly when she saw Lupine who was dealing with the wound, and the entire Ministry of Magic fell into extreme hectic, even slightly chaotic.

Lupine smiled wryly, he and Snape looked at each other, and he said, "You are late."

"Rodosoff escaped?" Snape asked calmly.

Lupine nodded softly. "He noticed it too. He found us on his trail."

"Predictably," said Snape. "As for throwing the Ministry into disarray?"

"His last plan? Maybe he didn't count as an escape." Lupine sighed and lay back on the chair. "Before he left, he gave us a goddamn gift, which almost blew up the memory write-off headquarters on the third floor. !Maybe in the next period of time, our energy to hunt him down will be diverted, and the media will no longer receive any rumors. I think we should think about how to stop the nonsense newspapers..."

Snape raised his eyebrows because of this information. He glanced around at the people on the 2nd floor who were rushing to repair the destroyed 3rd floor. He glanced behind him, "I don't seem to see Potter and Wes Lai."

"Of course." Lupine coughed, "They're still training, so they probably don't know what's going on here."

Mag asked inexplicably, "Rodosov is in the Ministry of Magic? How did he get out of the Ministry of Magic?"

"He's not at the Ministry of Magic, or rather, he didn't show up. He was here the other day, disguised as someone from the Ministry of Magic, remember Moody? That's it... Polyjuice Potion, and the long-term supply of The person whose hair made him pretend. However, he hasn't come since yesterday." Lupine coughed, "but today he sent things to the Ministry of Magic through someone else's hands."

"Who? What did he send in?" Mag asked immediately, "How do you know he left early?"

"We got the information yesterday. Remember when you said that you suspected Oro who was staying at Hogwarts?" Lupine closed his eyes, "It was Adolf's wife who finally confirmed our suspicion. She actually found out that there was something wrong with her husband ...We finally found some clues, she quietly asked for help from the Auror we sent to inquire, and we suspected it. But obviously Rodosov also expected that he would no longer return to Adolf's house."

"We're going to try to negotiate with Jim the next day." Lupine moved his head. "He's often with Adolf and they have a good relationship. We thought he might know something."

"Then?"

"He didn't know anything. He couldn't even believe our suspicion. We were on the third floor and we had an argument," Lupine continued. "He didn't believe our words. He was holding something , He said it was evidence—then he opened that thing on the spot, and I knocked it out out of vigilance—and it exploded in the corridor on the spot, almost blowing up the entire memory write-off command.”

"Captain." An Auror came in and said to Lupine, "No one has died yet."

"That's good." Lupine breathed a sigh of relief.

"Also, the 4th group found Adolf himself under the floor of Adolf's study 45 minutes ago—"

"—so Rodosoff gave the Ministry a silly present and disappeared?" Snape cut in on their conversation, interrupting the conversation between the strange Auror and Lupine.

This unfriendly remark caused him to be glared at by the strange Auror next to him, but Snape didn't care.

"So far it looks right," Lupine replied.

"It doesn't look like the Ministry of Magic has anything he wants," Snape stated calmly.

Lupine was silent, sighing at their failure.

It took 3 days to repair the damage caused by the explosion, but serious black cracks were still left on the wall, like imprints that could not be erased.

A sudden outbreak, a sudden end, may not be considered a node of the end.

This case sank quietly and in despair.The center of the vortex quietly fell silent, but the outside world began to make noise, and the media began to report the whole story of this incident.The attack on the Ministry of Magic and the deaths in Diagon Alley are finally revealed.

The follow-up was undisturbed, used to prove that the Aurors weren't all that useless, at least they confirmed: Jim had been tipped off by Rodolph.

In a way, he was almost an accomplice, which made the Aurors miserable.Moreover, Jim himself hated Death Eaters extremely, so far, he still refused to believe that Snape was innocent.

Rodosov has absconded and is thoroughly wanted by the entire wizarding world.But no one found a trace of him.

Another week passed, and Snape, who was completely free from suspicion, was still living an ordinary life in Hogwarts, which was still empty and deserted.

The only news, which is said to be from informants, was that Rodosov had been found on the British border.But this shows that Rodosov has successfully left the UK.

But these have nothing to do with Snape.

The Aurors stationed at Hogwarts have long since been evacuated.

On Saturdays, Snape still showed up repeatedly in the Muggle pub, quiet and alone.

Nothing has changed.

Snape still returned to Hogwarts again.

Time continues to pass forward.

He is used to every time he appears at the bar, he is also used to the gaze of the bartender at the bar, and the indifferent gaze.

It's already the end of the month.

On the second day of the month, Snape was called to the Ministry of Magic again. It was Lupine who wanted him to come to the Ministry of Magic. Snape had no reason to refuse.

Even if they knew that for now, any investigation would be useless.

"I'm sure—impossible!" The people in the office were arguing.

In the morning, on the basement 2 floor of the Ministry of Magic, in front of the Auror office.

Snape was still outside the door, and a fierce roar pierced the wall from inside.

"Listen, Jim! You were brought down to suggest—"

"I know! I know I've been tipped! But, that Severus Snape, he absolutely—"

"There—Jim! You know your suspicions have been proven wrong!"

Snape stood by the door, and heard a loud roar coming from the half-open door, "... Absolutely - he was involved, even if there is no evidence, I still insist on prosecuting him!"

"Listen, Jim, your request is unreasonable." Lupine's voice became stiff. "Now, I think you need to calm down. Listen, as of today, you are suspended until you calm down— —”

The door was suddenly pulled open from the inside. Snape squinted as Jim rushed out from the door and bumped into him head-on. Snape looked at Jim coldly and quietly, and Jim didn't turn his head. Back and rushed out.

Snape looked away at Jim striding away, then turned to look at the open door.

In the interior of the Auror's office, Lupine spread his hands towards Snape outside the door. He put away the anger that had not subsided on his face, and showed a friendly smile.

"Quite a wonderful reception," Snape remarked, not looking at Lupine.

"Well, Severus, you're still not coming at the right time," Lupine said with a smile.

Snape didn't speak, his eyes slipped from the messy desk, there were many pens and papers on the desk, and on the other side, stood two familiar people.

One of them, sitting at the table, looked up at his... Harry Potter.

Harry was holding a pen in his hand, as if he wanted to write something, and beside him was Ron Weasley, Harry looked straight towards the door.The clean green eyes blinked slowly, and Snape approached the office, his dark eyes scrutinizing Harry as before.

Surprisingly, Harry Potter is actually hiding here.

No, not unexpectedly, essentially... as it should be.

And Lupine continued to speak to Snape, "Perhaps you should come later, and then I can try to keep you from coming to the Ministry."

"Because the investigation is meaningless." Snape responded casually, his eyes still casually falling on Harry, not even looking at Lupine.

Harry, who was still holding a pen in his hand, put down the quill, folded his hands neatly on the desk, and stared awkwardly at Snape's black eyes.

"Um - hello, Professor Snape, long time no see?" he said.

Snape's eyes swept over him slowly, and by the way, he glanced at Ron beside Harry, as contemptuous and arrogant as ever.

Both Harry and Ron looked a bit reluctant.

Lupine walked among them and said with a smile, "Harry and Ron just joined the job yesterday, and their training camp is finally over, and they seem to have achieved good results, which is worth celebrating."

"Maybe." Snape glanced Harry up and down, such a contemptuous word made Ron beside Harry secretly stare.

Harry put down his hand on the table, and he stopped Ron beside him, "Hmm...you guys still need to be busy? By the way, we still need to do housework! Let's go first." After speaking, Harry stood up hurriedly, pulling looking at Ron.

He nodded to Lupine who was smiling at him, and dragged Weasley out of the office.

Five minutes later, Ron was pulling Harry, "Don't go so fast! We're out of the office!"

Harry slowed down and said nonchalantly, "I think we should hurry up."

"Well, maybe." Ron agreed. "Where are we going?"

"Meet with others first..."

Harry continued to walk up the stairs with Ron. He blinked his eyes without any soreness, and only felt a slight strangeness.

An unremarkable encounter.

Just like him and Snape, just acquaintances.

Harry only felt their past.

Strange, estranged teacher-student relationship, perhaps a bit hostile.

That's a damn poor consolation.

Insignificant, Harry couldn't help denigrating himself, as it should be to them.

He grabbed Ron's hand, as if comforting himself, without any cold feeling, normal temperature, as if this damn reality would not be shaken by his questioning, he just calmed down and thought about the relationship between him and Snape occasionally matter……

They still meet, that's all.

a familiar stranger.

They won't see each other, they won't remember having it, they won't even have a brand too ugly to forget.

Good, Harry convinced himself, that was a pretty good result.

Fuck that nice result!

No, it's really good - it's just that the idea is very difficult, and Harry actually regrets that if he is stalking a little bit?They might end up ugly, and it would be nice to make Snape hate him - no, Harry pulled himself together and didn't think about it.

His eyes were on Ron, and he stroked the wand in his hand. He still had to work.

Just passing by in a blink of an eye.

That night, when he returned home, Harry, who had become quiet, fell into a dead silence.

Finished training camp, work.

Blank, unable to think.

The dark bedroom had no light at all, it was gloomy, and it didn't even have a window. Against the background of the darkness, the walls looked like a prison. Harry suddenly understood the thoughts of Sirius who was once imprisoned here... only the green writing floating in mid-air, Like a living life beating, changing little by little, 11:01,11, 02:[-]...

He alone suddenly straightened his body lying on the bed.

Late at night, Harry left Black's old house.

The author has something to say: So, the bad guys are not always just caught, they may just escape ahhhh... There are bugs to complain at will, anyway, the author's IQ has been eaten by Pikachu
