live in your heart

Dorothea had a hard time, and in the two months after Severus left, she had to be trained daily as a Quidditch Seeker.Although she personally thinks it's unnecessary.You can't ask an elf born with wings to rely on a broom the way the average wizard does, and even without practice, Dorothea would be the best.

It was another month and she hadn't heard from Severus.Maybe he has also been to Hogwarts, but he didn't meet him.Life Sharing gave Dorothea a lot of confidence to focus on training while worrying about someone every day.

In November, Dorothea didn't know whether to say it was good or bad.On the second day of Halloween, all the teachers and students of Hogwarts were summoned to the auditorium by the headmaster.Dorothea was standing in an inconspicuous place in the Ravenclaw line, next to Estella.

She noticed that both Principal Dumbledore and the professors couldn't hide their joy.

"I called everyone here today, first of all, I want to announce a surprising news—" the old principal's voice echoed through the audience, and the students who were still whispering fell silent.What is the news?

"Voldemort—" the first words uttered by the old Headmaster, who couldn't say his name, startled everyone.Probably only Dumbledore could call him that.The timid one had already started to tremble, and Gryffindor also showed indignation on his face.And Slytherin, Slytherin still maintained a calm and elegant face.Even though their dean hasn't been back for a long time.

"I received the news this morning that Voldemort is dead." He said in such a calm tone that everyone could not be calm.

"Is this true?" someone asked.

"How is it possible?" Some people couldn't believe it.

Everyone was staring into Dumbledore's blue eyes, eyes full of honesty, Voldemort, the Dark Lord whom everyone dreaded was really dead.

"No, it's impossible! How could the Dark Lord..." The Slytherins panicked. At this moment, they almost completely abandoned the elegant and indifferent coat, and began to worry about their family members and their own future.

"Are those Death Eaters also arrested?" The Gryffindor prefect was the first to ask this question, his eyes were full of hatred and joy.Except for Slytherin, how many family members died at the hands of Death Eaters here, and his father was tortured to death by Cruciatus.

"Most of them have been caught," Dumbledore said meaningfully, and the shiny lens slid across the pale faces of the Slytherins, but stayed on Dorothea.Her face was even uglier than the Slytherins. "He will be judged the day after tomorrow."

Dorothea couldn't hear what was said later, and her mind was already filled with Dumbledore's few words.The Dark Lord was dead, most of the Death Eaters had been arrested, and there was still no news from Severus... She thought, she must have a private talk with Headmaster Dumbledore.

Despite being here many times, Dorothea still couldn't get used to the "festive" colors of gold and red in the principal's office.What's more, this time she was not summoned by the principal but she came uninvited.

"Come on, please take a seat, Miss Stoke, this is really a good day, I am very glad that you can come to share his joy with a poor old man." Dumbledore still warmly greeted Dorothea, and put on his thousand-year-old Sweet drink.

"I think Principal Dumbledore should know the purpose of my coming." Dorothea was expressionless, only feeling that Dumbledore's joy was too dazzling.Even if it wasn't obvious that she was worried about Severus, it wasn't just the Dark Lord who died last night, but also his three favorite students - Potter, Lily and Black.How could he still be smiling so heartily?

That's right, on the night of Halloween, in Potter's house, there were five lives, and only Harry Potter survived in the end.The Dark Lord, Lily, Potter, and Black all died in that cozy house.What's ridiculous is that Potter and Black were poisoned to remove magic before they died, while Lily was killed by the Dark Lord's death curse.

The plot in this is ridiculous to say, the potion in Porter Black was given by Lily, the woman who lost her face and lost her husband deliberately pretended to forgive her husband and Black's "love" on Halloween night, but privately drove away the family. Elf, under the poisonous hand.Many people feel sorry for this.If Lily hadn't taken the medicine, with the magic power of the three of them, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.At the same time, Lily is a great mother. She protected the savior of the magic world and let the Dark Lord die.Of course, there may be the effect of the newspaper sent by Dorothea.It was for this reason that Dorothea felt a little guilty.

"Miss Stocker, would you like a lemon dip? This is me..."

"Severus! I just want to know where he is." Dorothea cut off Dumbledore's enthusiasm with a frown.

Dumbledore seemed to sigh, "Why bother? You're only a second-year kid." The Dark Lord was dead, but the headmaster was as kind as ever.But he couldn't hide the calculation in his eyes.

"Do you think the Dark Lord really just died like this and will never come back again?" Dorothea sneered at him, but Dumbledore suppressed his smile.With Dorothea's words out, he will no longer treat her as a child, but at the same time he will take precautions against her as an adult.

"Severus, where is he?" she asked again.

"In Azkaban, to stand trial with the Death Eaters the day after tomorrow."

Azkaban!Dorothea felt as if her heart had been cut by a sharp knife, and she couldn't breathe due to the pain. "What a most just court!" She mocked sharply, "If I remember correctly, only those who are convicted will be imprisoned in Azkaban, right? The trial of Severus is still the day after tomorrow!"

"Don't get so excited my child," Dumbledore took a sip of his tea, "You know, Severus is a Slytherin, and this time he was confessed by the Death Eaters."

The Death Eaters confessed?Dorothea regained a little calm, "How to save him."

"It's a little difficult."

"But he's still a spy for your Order of the Phoenix, isn't he?"

Dumbledore glanced at Dorothea in surprise, not expecting Severus to tell her this as well. "You really surprised me, Miss Stock, that Severus can trust you so much." He said slowly, "I'm sorry, I will try my best."

This promise sounded almost like nothing to Dorothea. "Hmph, I should have known." She raised her head, took out a simple small box from nowhere, put it on the side of the table, and motioned for Dumbledore to pick it up and look at it. "It was given to me by Severus last time."

Instead of giving it, it's better to tell Dorothea to keep it well.Dumbledore didn't trust Severus, how could Severus trust Dumbledore?That snake-like man was not some impulsive and brainless Gryffindor.

"Wonder if Miss Stock could tell me how it got here."

Seeing Dumbledore picking up the locket, his face gradually turned ugly, Dorothea continued happily, "This Horcrux was found by the second young master of the Black family from a cave, Severus rescued him, and he also put Give it to Severus to destroy."

"Miss Stoke is really knowledgeable and talented," Dumbledore praised with a smile, as if he wasn't the one who panicked about the Horcrux just now. "Since Miss Stoke knows, she should also be aware of the dangers of the Horcrux, why not..." Let him destroy it.Both Dorothea and Dumbledore knew the meaning of the latter sentence.

"Thank you," Dorothea replied indifferently, "but I have to remind you that if there is one such Horcrux, there will naturally be a second one."

Dumbledore's eyes lit up quickly, "Then, Miss Stoke knows that the second one is..."

"I don't know." Dorothea was quite innocent, emphatically emphasizing, "Severus gave it to me. He is in Azkaban now. I don't know if I want to!" She couldn't understand what she meant, The things were given by Severus, if you can't save people, you can find them yourself.

"Of course Severus will be fine."

Dumbledore answered very frankly this time, but Dorothea despised him very much. "I want to see him, before the trial, now!" Her tone was firm and unquestionable.

There was a trace of embarrassment in Dumbledore's eyes, "I'm afraid not Miss Stoke, but I can assure you that Severus will be fine."

"But I can't trust your headmaster, I have to see with my own eyes that Severus is fine, right now!" Dorothea noticed Dumbledore's faint dissatisfaction, and she knew that her request was too much.But that wasn't the end of her story.Dorothea took a deep breath and continued, "I can remove the Dark Mark."

One sentence was like thunder on the ground, and the old headmaster knocked over the teacup in his hand.He tried to calm himself down, and met Dorothea's serious eyebrows, "If it's true, it will have a great effect on proving Severus' innocence."

Dumbledore didn't say the latter words, but Dorothea had guessed it. "My powers are not limited to one person, Headmaster. There are many Death Eaters who have the ability to escape or fear the Dark Lord - people like Master Malfoy, and I am happy to help." This was her last card, and she knew Dumbledore would be tempted, "After Severus is all right," she added.

This was probably the best news Dumbledore had heard in two days.As Dorothea said, most of the Death Eaters were pure-blood nobles in the wizarding world. It was not difficult to get out of Azkaban by relying on family power, and at most it would cost a little money.But it would be different if they could remove their Dark Mark. According to Voldemort's temperament, he would definitely not let them go, and they knew that.Then, whether it is active or passive, there will always be some people who will form an alliance with the Order of the Phoenix.

"When does Miss Stoke want to go?" Dumbledore smiled again, even more kindly than Lily Potter.

"Now." Dorothea was firm.

"I probably know why Severus likes and trusts Miss Stoke so much." Dumbledore agreed with a smile. "A clever little girl."

Dorothea squinted at Dumbledore, and suddenly smiled sweetly, completely without the sharp determination just now, like an ignorant girl. "Then you're wrong, I'm about to ask you, don't tell Severus about my communication with you today, he will be upset."

"Hehehe, don't let me down Miss Stoke, come with me." Dumbledore stood up, "There shouldn't be many people in Azkaban at this time, and I still have some friendship with the Ministry of Magic."

"Thank you, Headmaster."

On the way to Azkaban, Dorothea didn't say a word, as if the seemingly forbidding and terrifying environment was completely ignored by her.Even the dementors guarding the gate were directly ignored by her.But when she was brought to a small and dark prison door, when Dumbledore left and she was left alone, and when she saw Severus with his eyes closed and meditating inside, Dorothea couldn't help but blush orbital.

How could those people treat him like this!Dorothea looked longingly at the man's thin and haggard face, and the scorching gaze made Severus open his eyes as well.

"Dorothea?" She saw his lips move, but didn't hear his voice.

Surprise flashed quickly in the man's eyes, but soon turned into vigilance and distrust.He raised his head high, even if he sat there weakly, he fully demonstrated the arrogance and elegance of the Snake King. "Miss Stoke? This doesn't seem like the place where you should appear. Why is Dumbledore so weak that he can't protect his students? Or is Miss Stoke already a Death Eater at a young age? That really surprised me."

Dorothea fought back her tears, she had to let Severus know she was fine.She knew what men were wary of, but she didn't need to explain it in words.The silver light spread all over her body, and she changed from a 12-year-old girl to a 20-year-old girl.This is the best proof of her identity.

"Dorothea!" Angrily, Severus stood up abruptly and walked across to Dorothea. There was a layer between them, but it could not hinder their communication.He didn't look happy but angry.

"Severus," Dorothea seemed completely unaware of the man's anger, smiling brightly and innocently, with a black cloak covering her whole body.

"I am coming."

She didn't explain much, but the familiar little face and full of concern were enough to dispel all his anger. "Well, I'm fine."

very good?This is of course false. "I'm fine too, I just miss you." Dorothea said, grabbing the man's left arm and shaking it gently, as if she was acting like a baby at home instead of being in prison.

Severus frowned as he looked at the little girl's white and soft hands. His clothes couldn't be called clean, and there were bloodstains on them. Those little hands were very eye-catching, but he didn't break free.The words of concern were firmly suppressed, and the words were simple and domineering, "Go back and wait for me to come back."

The comforting tone carried strong confidence, and in an instant he faded away from the decadence that he had just shrunk in the corner, calm and proud, just like the man she was familiar with.

"Okay, but I have one more thing to do." Dorothea agreed with a smile, lightly grasping the man's arm and putting it on her chest, her fingers brushed over the hideous Dark Mark, "You can't stop this time me."

"Am I such a stupid troll?" The man mocked himself as usual.

"By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you last time." Dorothea quickly removed the disgusting Dark Mark, and turned to look at Severus cautiously, but at the same time couldn't hide her complacency.

"what?"

"I'm Ravenclaw's Seeker now, wait for you to come out and watch me play!"

... "Dorothea!"

"Cuckoo-"

A brief meeting made Dorothea feel relieved, and obediently returned to Hogwarts to wait for news.The trial began two days later. Although Severus was revealed by the Death Eaters, he did not have the Dark Mark on his arm, and Dumbledore proved that he was allied with the Order of the Phoenix. He was acquitted after the trial.

Walking out of the Ministry of Magic, Severus saw the girlish Dorothea without accident. He knew she would not obediently wait for him to go back at school.If he didn't rush in directly, his education of more than ten years had already played a role.

"Go home first, I think you need to take a good bath." The little girl had an innocent smile on her face, but it almost melted the man's heart.

"Well. You go back with me." It was also rare for him to be willful.

"Yeah, what about the school?"

"Dumbledore will take care of it, Miss Stoke just needs to follow her future husband."

"By the way, I gave Dumbledore the Slytherin locket." Future husband, she liked that word.

"I know." Otherwise, I wouldn't have seen her in Azkaban, "Good job."

"Yeah? Won't you be punished?" The words were full of words, come and punish me!

"It seems that Ms. Stoke has already realized her thoughts, and I hope that she will not disappoint your professor when she puts it into practice."

"Well... can I say I regret it? Professor, I was really wrong, please don't be polite and let me go." Punish me.

"Hmm, it seems that the one-month slack has made Miss Stoke forget her lesson, speed!"

"Sev, did I say a word to you?"

"what?"

"I love you."

"Stupid words...me too."

"Well, you can punish me."

"Go home first."
