Polaris

It was warm in the cellar, and the touch in his arms was cool and soft. Snape moved and opened his eyes. He felt light all over his body. The antipyretics he drank yesterday had taken effect, and it might be because of last night. His mind was no longer dizzy, but his body temperature was still high. His eyes fell on Poloris who was sleeping soundly in his arms. Her body temperature was always low, and she was like a cool jade when hugged. It was the slightly cool temperature last night that allowed him to sleep peacefully.Snape picked up the birch wand by the bed and took a while to appear, the green light emerged, at 11:30, the two of them obviously slept a little longer than last time, he missed the Ravenclaw potion in the morning class, and he was about to miss the advanced potions class of the sixth grade in the afternoon, but it was rare, he didn't want to move at all, he just wanted to hold her quietly, he adjusted his posture, and turned his head to face her.

Poloris was in a deep sleep, and Snape's movements didn't wake her up. Her face was a little pale, her crow-wing eyelashes cast two small shadows under her eyes, and her pale lips were a little red and swollen. His gaze continued downward and landed on her neck and shoulders, where she looked a little embarrassed. There were ten purple-black finger marks on her snow-white neck, and the finger marks were covered with fine hickey marks like atonement. He hesitated and reached out to touch her, as if it hurt her, she frowned and backed away, Snape pulled her back, she rubbed against her, found a comfortable position and continued to sleep, like last night Really tired.Thinking of the darkening of Snape's eyes last night, he admitted that he was a little out of control last night. The vent that he suppressed for half a year made Poloris sleep in the bathtub, and his eyes fell on the finger marks on her shoulders. On her chest, there was an abnormal sag in the bones. He clearly remembered how Bella's death curse was cast on it. That dispute caused them both to lose too much. His fingers caressed the little girl. The pit, the sinking is not big, the tip of the index finger is just stuck in it, the depth is less than half a centimeter, the skin color there is different, it is a darker pink color, it doesn't look hideous but it almost took away everything from him, Thinking of the child who died instead of Poloris, his heart was a little sour. Even though he knew it was useless to regret, he had thought more than once, would everything be different if he left her that morning?Maybe she wouldn't forget everything and force him to make that choice?He hugged him tightly, and the low temperature of Poloris came over. The heartbeat rhythm of the two gradually became unified, and an unprecedented sense of satisfaction filled his heart. He only hoped that this moment could last longer.

Poloris woke up at one o'clock in the afternoon. When she opened her eyes, she felt sore as if her body was falling apart. Her mind was buzzing chaotically. The warm breath around her made her brain stop for a moment. She looked up blankly. , Snape was looking at her without blinking, it was like a firework exploded in her mind at that moment, the colorful colors made her already unconscious brain even more confused, she kept that movement still, after a while After a while, she suddenly turned her head and raised her hand, and a time appeared, her whole body seemed to be stabbed by something.

"It's over, I'm late." The defense against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon had already begun, and she tried to free her two arms to sit up, but was pressed even harder on the bed.Snape's face was dark, and his shoulder-length black hair fell over her face, tickling her.

"You want to see Professor Riddle?" His eyes swept across her distressed neck. "Is that so?" Snape never expected that Poloris's first words would be late when he woke up. Didn't this heartless little bastard plan to say something?Obviously last time...

"You misunderstood, Severus." As if touching the bruise on her shoulder, Poloris moved with some discomfort. "If I remember correctly, you don't have a sixth grader this afternoon..."

"Cancelled." He cut her off decisively.

"Huh?" Poloris blinked suspiciously. There should be nothing wrong with her fever-reducing potion, otherwise last night... "I'm sorry I haven't woken up yet." She stopped, her mind was still groggy , Could it be that he was infected last night?She thought helplessly.Sensing her escape, Snape reached out and snapped her head back.

"Did you... regret it?" This is the second time he asked this question, last time he was the one who regretted it, what about this time?He remembered that he was not gentle last night, he could even be said to be rough. He ignored her pleading and her slack eyes. If she said regret now, it would be a very normal thing.

"Looking at your eyes, I feel like you've asked this question before." Poloris looked at him unblinkingly with a pair of gray-green eyes, and there was a smile in it. She clearly felt that he was getting more and more serious. Faster heartbeat. "Depending on the situation, you were the one who regretted it last time?" Otherwise, why didn't they stay together?Snape's eyes wandered a little, he turned his eyes away from her, she always seemed to have the ability to defeat him.

"Never again." He whispered, his tone serious as if he was making a promise.

"But I regret it." Poloris's tone sank, Snape turned his head suddenly, his whole body was stiff, he looked into those eyes without the slightest hint of joking, his heart sank gradually , His lips trembled, but he didn't say a word.She should regret it, he never understood why Poloris loved him so much from the beginning.Poloris pulled herself up, her head pressed against his shoulder, and Snape felt her lips touch the scar. "I can't bear you, I can't bear to die, what do you want me to use to deal with Tom?" After discovering the truth, she can no longer be the same as before with him, a slight mistake is an inevitable conflict, her only The only card in the hole is herself.

"Don't worry about that." The unexpected answer brought him back to his senses. He stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly. They always do this. Last time, this time, they will never live a good life. Now, he understands that Poloris The mood was off.Poloris lowered her eyes from an angle that he couldn't see. She won a huge gamble that was sure to pay no loss, but she had to face the next gamble. Who could guess what the Dark Lord was thinking?She still doesn't understand the reason why Tom has been pestering her, is it because he wants to grasp the weakness of the unbreakable curse?But the emotion in those eyes is sincere, maybe there is still a turning point?She blinked, suppressing her thoughts.

"I missed class in the afternoon," she said softly.

"I asked for leave for you." Snape was very curious about Tom Riddle's expression when he saw the arctic fox. He believed that the Dark Lord would be able to guess everything in an instant. This time he should be replaced by Poloris Solving his worries, he narrowed his eyes, thinking in his mind.

"Thank you, Professor Snape." Poloris rolled her eyes, Tom definitely guessed everything, even though it was normal to ask for leave, Poloris still felt that there was some anger and demonstration here.

"Sev." Snape corrected. "Call me Sif like you did last night." Poloris's ears turned red, and she flinched. The images of last night kept popping up in her mind, and she raised her hand and snapped her fingers , the whole person disappeared like smoke, Snape frowned, and there was a sound behind him, and he saw Poloris standing by the open wardrobe, she was wearing his shirt, and she was wearing her shirt with her head bowed. Buttons, two white straight long legs tucked away, looked only in better condition than her neck, Snape looked her up and down, she was thinner than in fourth year, her ankles looked too slender.

"I'm hungry." Poloris turned and walked into the bathroom after buttoning up the buttons. Snape sat on the bed and looked at the messy clothes on the floor. He picked up his wand and threw a dozen and disappeared. If they are all scrapped, there is no need to keep them.

The speed of the house elves is always amazing. After washing up, Poloris saw that the table was full of food. She picked up the honey milk on the side and sat down. Even though she had missed three meals, she still didn’t need it. Too much food, and after years of recovery her stomach still can't digest much solid food.When Snape came out, the milk in her hand had almost run out. He glanced at the untouched staple food and didn't think that Poloris was only holding the glass of milk because he was waiting for him. He was too familiar with her cup of milk. Bad eating habits too.

"If I heard you right, you mean you're hungry?" He sat across from her and his eyes rested on the milk in her hand.

"These are enough." Poloris put the empty cup on the table in a satisfied tone.Snape was silent for a moment, then changed tack when he realized the low air pressure wasn't working.

"I don't want to eat alone." There was a trace of disappointment in his tone, and he let go of the hand holding the knife and fork.

"Sev, your acting skills are terrible." Poloris said in a disgusted tone, but she still picked up the knife and fork resignedly. "I'll only eat the main course with you, and I'll throw up the rest."

"I don't mind providing you with stomach potion." Not minding Poloris' dislike, Snape's tone was rarely brisk.

"No." Poloris said decisively, she curled her lips and cut open the orange under her hand.

"Io." Snape suddenly stopped what he was doing, he put down his knife and fork and looked at her seriously.

"Huh?" Sensing something wrong with his tone, Poloris raised her head, and she saw Snape pursing his lips, looking a little nervous, she blinked suspiciously, it wasn't an illusion.

"Although I think it's a bit sudden now, I think it's a bit late." He reached out and took Poloris's left hand, his eyes squinting at the burning fireplace.

"What's the matter?" Poloris followed his line of sight, the flames were still warm and bright, nothing unusual, suddenly she tightened her middle finger, and Snape had already moved away.

"It's nothing." He picked up the knife and fork and continued to eat with his head down. Poloris raised his left hand, and there was a slender and neat snake-shaped silver ring on the middle finger, and the snake's eyes were bright green diamonds.She looked up at Snape, who was pretending to be calm, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

"My ring is gone, just take it with you." She stroked the ring lightly and whispered.
