On the Feasibility of Dueling with the System

He led Jia Mo back to Snape's office, the cold cellar was empty at the moment, Qin Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, if he really bumped into Snape, he really couldn't explain Jia Mo's origin.

Jia Mo, whose five senses are much sharper than ordinary people, narrowed his eyes slightly, tilted his head and looked inquiringly at the bedroom with the half-closed door.

Qin Zhan raised his leg and kicked its fat belly, "Don't be stupid, go run around the black lake for a few times." Ignoring Jiamo's resentful eyes, Qin Zhan still couldn't help complaining, "Lucius, what did you feed you to grow so fat!"

Gamo: "...QAQ"

"Go for a run by myself. I have to rest for a while. My head hurts." Qin Zhan rubbed his temples. Skater is a weak noble boy, and he really can't bear the slightest bit of suffering.

Jia Mo rubbed against him worriedly, and walked out of the cellar after getting comforted by Qin Zhan's eyes.

Seeing Qin Zhan walking towards the guest room, Snape turned his body slightly, carefully hiding himself in the darkness.

It wasn't until the next room clicked and locked that Snape closed the door and looked down at the ground.

It's really him.

Due to the sudden incident today, Snape only remembered it after lunch and had some free time. Although the Dark Mark could not be used to determine his identity, it could also be used to prove the return of the Dark Lord and the basic condition of his magic power.

The color of the mark on the arm had darkened a lot, and Snape put down his sleeve, thinking with some relief that at least the Dark Lord was recovering well.

Just now, before the boy came back, he had already thought a lot.The details and pickiness of snacks and drinks that Skater showed when he met with Dumbledore were strikingly similar to those of the Dark Lord, including some inadvertent little actions during the meal just now, such as when cutting lamb chops, the Dark Lord treated the cut lamb The size has almost strict requirements; for example, when picking up black tea during a meal, the Dark Lord will definitely put down the knife and fork and pick up the cup with one hand, instead of holding the fork in the left hand and taking the black tea with the right...

If it wasn't just now, even Snape would not have known that he paid such deep attention to the Dark Lord, even the small details of the slight bow of the other's wrist would have been noticed, and kept firmly in his heart.

But it seems too late to talk about this now.

The moment the boy stepped out of the fireplace with the wolf cub, Snape had already established his identity.Having been in contact with Gamo before, Snape knew that the fierce-looking little wolf cub was also very arrogant, and had never been close to anyone other than the Dark Lord, including Lucius.

The Dark Lord came back, but he didn't want to trust him anymore, and he didn't even want to say a word to him. From the beginning to the end, the two of them had to talk a few times out of etiquette. He kept silent all the time, with a decent smile on his face - just like an ordinary Slytherin student facing him.

This realization made Snape flustered like an abandoned child. He would rather Voldemort punish him with a mark, or put him in a dungeon and torture him with Cruciatus, even if he was only used as a simple subordinate, It is better than the current indifference and alienation.

Up to now, Snape could only comfort himself with reasons that he himself felt were weak - the Dark Lord never forgives betrayers easily, and he is not qualified to be the only exception.So no matter what, the Dark Lord will definitely not go on like this forever. He will reveal his identity when he least expects it, and then punish him with Cruciatus, watching him proudly enduring the unbearable pain for ordinary people—— It doesn't matter, as long as he still has the qualifications to crawl at the feet of the Dark Lord, as long as he can still touch him, even if he kneels in front of the Dark Lord in the most humble and lowly posture to kiss his robe corner, no matter what the price is Snape was willing.

Yes, yes, it must be so.

Snape clenched his trembling hands into fists and kept telling himself in his heart.Now that he is at Hogwarts, and Dumbledore is still here, the boy's reluctance to reveal his identity must have his own considerations, and he must not ruin his business again.And - yes, Dumbledore.Snape took a deep breath. He knew how cunning the old man was. Fortunately, Dumbledore no longer doubted him after the battle and the protection of Potter's cub. This must be used.He wanted to cover for the young man and hide Dumbledore for him. Snape knew that he didn't have Lucius's excellent communication skills and unique family advantages, but in Hogwarts, the Potions professor still had some respect for the Dark Lord. So useful, at least, he can protect him in front of Dumbledore.

It took Snape a long time to calm himself down. He wanted to walk to the bed, but he felt a numb tingling sensation in his legs after standing for too long. He staggered a few times and stumbled while leaning on the wall Go to the wall that separates the two of them.

"Lord..." Snape pressed against the wall tightly, trying to feel the existence of the boy through this barrier.After trying hard for more than ten minutes, Snape, who couldn't even hear the slightest breath, collapsed back on the bed.

He raised his hand and used his arm to cover the sore eye sockets. The poorly made cloth on his body quickly absorbed the excess moisture in his eyes. Snape closed his eyes slightly. The land and the man who once ruled the world in memory overlapped, and finally merged into one.

"Severus."

In a daze, Snape seemed to hear the man's voice again.Low and gentle, as smooth and melodious as a cello, it is completely different from the cold image of the dark monarch in front of the Death Eaters in the past, and it is also very different from the polite alienation now.

"Lord..."

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

The opening dinner started at 7 o'clock. Dumbledore first sorted the freshmen into schools, and then introduced Qin Zhan's identity as a transfer student and explained his school affiliation.

Standing on the high platform, Qin Zhan lowered his eyes and glanced at the long table of Slytherin.Draco was easy to spot - he had the same platinum blonde hair and haughty expression as Lucius.Then looking down, Qin Zhan suddenly met a pair of calm ice-green eyes. At the same time, the system's prompt sounded again in his mind: [Ding——capture a domestic traveler.Name: Oliver Quinn; Source: American TV series "Arrow"; Identity: The eldest son of the former president of the Quinn Group, now an orphan Oliver Quinn, also known as the "social policeman", also known as the hooded man and Green Arrow wait.Does the player check further details? 】

Qin Zhan: "?????"

System: [Ding——Trigger Extended Task [-]: Assist Oliver Queen against the mutant Slade. 】

Qin Zhan: [(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻WHATTHEFUCK?!?!?!?!] The pervert in the original play, Risslade, who almost lost Team Green Arrow, is here too?!

System: [May I ask if the player has checked the detailed information of Green Arrow? 】

【……no. 】

Dumbledore's introduction to him came to an end temporarily, and Qin Zhan, who was frightened by the system, controlled himself to walk towards the Slytherin long table with a smile on his face.Draco Malfoy, who was the head of the third grade, and the male and female student council presidents of the senior grades all stood up to welcome him. After a few polite words, Draco added another seat on his right, which was the three The first seat of a grader also represents the status of the student in the college.

Qin Zhan sat down with peace of mind, he knew that it must be something Lucius said that made Draco so obedient, but he didn't care, after all, Qin Zhan didn't have much time to mess around with a group of 13-year-old kids .

After the dinner, the grade chief took the little snakes back to the Slytherin dormitory, and then the dean gave a speech, and a new round of elections with the grade chiefs.

Students sit in a circle, starting with first grade.Qin Zhan retreated to a hidden corner, and opened the note that Quinn had stuffed into his hand just now when he was going down the stairs: "Wild traverser?"

Qin Zhan: "..." He looked up at Quinn and nodded helplessly.

【So, Quinn also has a system? 】

Gamo: [Yes, if I remember correctly, it should be called the "professional brave system", but your system is much more advanced than his dear. 】

Qin Zhan: [...Really, why do I think his system name is more domineering. 】

Gamo: [Uh...ha, haha...don't care about these details, baby. 】

Qin Zhan: […]

【Jamo, you must be reading some CEO novels again, right? ! ! ! ! 】

Gamo: 【～(￣▽￣～)(～￣▽￣)～Yes, you annoying little fairy. 】

【…】

Qin Zhan decisively cut off the conscious connection between the two.

At this moment, Quinn had come to him.

"...Samuel?"

"Hello, Oliver." Qin Zhan added silence spells and anti-eavesdropping spells around him.

"Oh... Finally, there is a fellow." Oliver scratched his hair in annoyance, but he was relieved, "Do you know what's going on with this system?"

"I don't know." Qin Zhan shook his head, he really didn't know what was going on, "I died and then came."

Oliver twitched the corners of his mouth, and his expression was immediately relieved, "Then I'm luckier than you, and I came here after just sleeping."

Qin Zhan rolled his eyes, is it interesting to laugh at a hundred steps at fifty steps? !

"The system told you, I want to help you deal with Slade."

Oliver nodded, "The system says you are very good."

"……Ha ha."

...This cheating system!

Qin Zhan asked sullenly, "Does it say anything else?"

"No more." Oliver said, looking at him with some melancholy, "Tell me, what if Slade also has a system..."

"The soldiers will block the water and cover it with the earth." Qin Zhan said expressionlessly. He had a hunch that this would be a tough battle.

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

After exchanging information with each other, Qin Zhan, who can be regarded as "the same person who has fallen in the end of the world", often goes in and out with Oliver, and Draco occasionally goes with them.

During this period of time, Qin Zhan also met the savior Harry Potter, but the two didn't have much contact with each other. After all, the schools are different, so it would be good if they didn't fight.It was only in Potions class that he was forced to pay more attention to the Savior - poor baby was being bullied badly by Snape.

"Searle, do they have a grudge?" Oliver, who was cutting the daisy root, asked in a low voice.

"Yes, feud." Qin Zhan replied, "Snape loves Potter's mother, and he and old Potter were rivals and rivals in love when they were in school."

Oliver gave him a surprised look, and handed over the neatly cut daisy roots, "I can't, I think the way Snape looks at you is...cough." He fell silent.

"Snape could betray Voldemort for Evans, which was me at the time." Qin Zhan stirred the cauldron with a calm expression, "But I don't love him, so it doesn't matter."

"...Snape looks very serious." Oliver muttered, "Does he know you are Voldemort?"

"Probably, I didn't want to hide it from him, and I couldn't hide it from him. Snape is an excellent Slytherin." Qin Zhan didn't want to go any further. Before Oliver could speak, he raised his hand to signal Snape Nepe had done his homework himself.

"A perfect finished product, 10 points for Slytherin." Snape said in a low voice, looking at the boy calmly.

Qin Zhan frowned in annoyance. Slade hadn't moved for a long time. According to his mutated physique, the effect of the spell might have to be compromised. The current calm made him a little restless.

"Thank you for your high evaluation, Professor Snape." He smiled perfunctorily, "If there is nothing else, Oliver and I want to go to the library first." You can leave, Qin Zhan's obvious resistance made Snape swallow his words to give him the wound medicine, and he could only nod silently.

"Thank you Professor."

The two bowed and walked outside the classroom.When passing by Draco, Qin Zhan threw a Morse grass leaf into the cauldron, saving his dark blood tonic.

Slade's arrival came a month later, and it led to an irreparable evil result—an evil effect that even Qin Zhan hadn't expected.

That day, he was locked up by Snape in the cellar.It wasn't strictly a confinement, because the Potions Master just said, "Mr. Scat, please come to my office at eight o'clock in the evening."

During the confinement, Snape didn't say anything, just asked him to finish the potion on the list, Qin Zhan didn't ask much, rolled up his sleeves and started to work.

Under the not very bright light, Snape was able to look at him without any concealment when the young man was concentrating on preparing the ingredients for the potion.

For more than half a month since the beginning of school, he has been paying attention to Qin Zhan from time to time. However, the young man has been in close contact with that Quinn and even went in and out with him, but he has never talked to him, and he has not expressed the slightest—whether it is anger or anger. Take advantage, not at all.

Snape panicked, he realized that maybe Skater just wanted to go on like this, pretend he didn't know him, and just let the matter of his betrayal go away.Doing so can save him from punishment, but at the same time it also cuts off the connection between them, and only allows them to exist as teachers and students.

He couldn't accept this, Snape would rather the Dark Lord give him Cruciatus than be face to face with the Lord without being able to hug him or touch him.

Looking at the young man's handsome face, Snape stood up and walked to his side.

Qin Zhan thought that Snape wanted to correct his mistakes, but he never thought that there was a sound of clothes rubbing against each other——Snape knelt down.

Qin Zhan closed his eyes, and then continued to stir the crucible calmly.

Snape started to speak, and Qin Zhan always knew that he was not smooth enough, but he could handle things well.And the facts also proved that he was right. Snape's confession was very objective, and he didn't emphasize that his betrayal was not deliberate. He just confessed his mistakes and begged for forgiveness after briefly stating the reasons.

Qin Zhan put some daisy roots into the crucible, and the purple potion gradually turned light blue. He didn't speak.For a moment, the only sound in the quiet cellar was the gurgle of the cauldron boiling.

It takes 15 minutes to boil the blood tonic, 45 minutes for three bottles, and 45 minutes for two bottles of physical recovery potion.For an hour and a half, Qin Zhan brewed the potion without saying a word, and Snape also knelt on the ground in silence after telling the story, but his heart became uncontrollably desolate, as if the cold floor in the cellar could pass The contact with the knee was as cold as his heart, bitingly cold.

After filling the last bottle of stamina recovery potion, Qin Zhan simply cleaned up the table, and then washed his hands in the sink next to him, "All the potions you asked for have been made. If there is nothing else, I will go back first, Si Professor Nape," he said in a calm voice, then turned and walked past Snape.

From the beginning to the end, the man kneeling on the ground did not get half of the attention.
