HP Starlight

When Esther found Hagrid, he had recovered a little.Yaya rubbed against him, seeming to be scared too.Esther conjures a bar of chocolate and hands it to Hagrid, and conjures a piece of jerky for Fang.

"Thank you," said Hagrid weakly. "These things still affect me so much."

"That's because you were hurt by them. Alright, Hagrid, if you feel better, we'd better go to the Forbidden Forest quickly. I'm worried that something else will get mixed in after a long time." Estelle He looked worriedly into the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid took a big bite of the chocolate, and forced himself to cheer up and lead Esther into the Forbidden Forest.They groped along the edge of the defensive spell bit by bit.After walking for about half an hour, I finally found the damaged place.The wet soil was stained with blood, and there was a faint green glow from the cracks in the spell.Apparently, the protection was destroyed by sacrifice using black magic.Esther tries to unravel the engram of black magic, but with little success.

"The black magic that invades the human body should try to destroy it from within or divert it to other directions. But this kind of black magic, as long as there is enough magic power and will to suppress it is enough." Snape walked from the bushes, using Speaking in a voice that was only slightly louder than a whisper, it seemed that he was just teaching a lesson.He didn't look at Esther, but raised his wand and cast a spell at the blood on the ground.The bloodstain slowly gathered and disappeared, and he waved towards the crack again, and the green light disappeared from the defensive barrier.

After making sure there were no other problems in the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid took Fang back to his cabin.Tonks and Sirius had probably finished their investigations, and the venue was empty.Esther walked to the gate of the castle silently to check if there were any omissions.Snape followed her not too far away, which made her a little at a loss.

"We should talk." Snape's deep voice came softly from behind.

Esther stopped and looked at Snape, ready to hear what he had to say.

"Maybe we should end our wrong relationship." Snape said calmly, "I'm sorry for giving you undue expectations. It was just my impulse as a man, you know, every man is The woman who comes to your door can't bear to refuse. You are too enthusiastic, not that I am really interested in you. I hope you can recognize the reality and give up unrealistic ideas. You are no longer Lily. "

Esther sneered, his humiliation gnawing at her body and mind like a fiery fire.It is obviously an elegant and charming voice like velvet, but the words that come out hurt people like knives.

"Is that what you want to say?" Esther gritted her teeth and spit out a few words through the gap, "You can continue to ignore me, why are you so straightforward and make me sound like a frivolous woman. It's very interesting to insult people ?"

"I just want to make things clear, and it seems to me that some of your actions were not prudent." Snape said with an unchanged expression.

"Very good, Severus Snape, very good." Esther was incoherent angrily.She strode towards the castle, eager to get rid of the people behind her.But Snape didn't want to let him go, and seemed determined to crush her self-esteem completely.

"So are we clear now? You won't pester me anymore, will you?" Snape asked.

"I've never pestered you, Professor! I don't think we've spoken for four months. If it's pestering you just by being in front of your eyes, then I'm sorry, it's Dumbledore's job, you can let him Transfer me away from here." Esther tried to use the last bit of reason to restrain himself from giving the man in front of him a head-on blow.

"Then stop imitating Lily," Snape said relentlessly.

"I don't understand what you mean, Professor." Esther stared at Snape with anger burning in his eyes.

"Close to Slughorn, join the Slug Club, give him that fish, aren't you imitating Lily?" Snape said earnestly, "And the doe, you asked me, didn't you? You think I'll fall in love with you if I have the same Patronus as her, don't you?"

"Severus Snape!" Esther grabbed the hem of his robe, his arms were shaking with anger, "I'm not close to Slughorn, and I don't know about the Slug Club! I just Accepted invitation to his Christmas party! That fish Dumbledore made me conjure up for him! As for the doe, I didn't mean to, and I didn't want it!"

After Esther finished speaking, she pushed Snape away, turned her head and strode towards the castle.

"Then I hope you can change it back as soon as possible. The doe is not suitable for you. It looks a bit annoying." Snape said deeply,

"Shut up! Snape! Shut up!" Esther pulled out her wand, the tip of which flickered on and off.Her emotions and magic surged between her and her wand.

Snape still watched her cannibalistic eyes calmly, waiting for her spell to be shot at him.

After a stalemate for a while, Esther put down her wand and ran into the castle, disappearing into the dark corridor.

Esther returned to the room and could no longer control the burning anger.The uncontrolled magic power exploded in the room, shattering the potion on the shelf.She collapsed on the bed, letting tears of anger and sadness drown herself.

The next morning, Hogwarts officially entered the Christmas holiday.Esther tidied up the mess slowly.She hadn't slept all night, and Snape's hurtful words kept ringing in her head, choking her with pain.

Instead of using magic, she picked up the shards of glass from the ground one by one like a Muggle.She didn't care about the tiny cuts that ooze blood from her fingertips.She couldn't figure out why Snape, who had just protected herself at the Christmas party, suddenly changed his attitude and wanted to hurt herself so much.Did he really not care about himself?Were the previous kisses, caring expressions, and emotional eyes all fake?He came to visit him in the middle of the night, and he boiled medicine for himself, isn't it from the heart?

Maybe it was true as he said, he just didn't know how to reject his enthusiasm.And his similar behavior to Lily touched his bottom line, which made him decide to make a complete break.Because she defiled the perfect lover in his heart, he wanted to hurt her severely, and let her know that she was not worthy to be compared with that lily.

Why is it that the dead get his love, but hers are worth nothing?What did she do wrong again?Esther put the stabbed finger into her mouth and licked the wound. The taste of the mixture of potion and blood was bitter and salty, just like her heart.

There are not many students left in the castle during the holidays. In the current situation where people disappear without reason every day, parents hope that their children can be with them.Dumbledore seems to have returned to Hogwarts after Malfoy left school.He asked Esther to meet at the office.Esther accidentally saw Grindelwald sitting there comfortably, as if sitting in his own office.

"Professor, are you looking for me?" Esther ignored Grindelwald who was looking at her with a half-smile.

"I heard that when Slughorn held a Christmas party, someone put a dementor in it. You were the first to find out?" asked Dumbledore.

"Yes, Professor. I only found him when I was about to leave the Forbidden Forest. He was of medium build and quick to strike, but I didn't see who it was. Did Tonks and Sirius find him?" Estel replied.

"No, some guests have already left, and it's not easy to find out who it is." Dumbledore shook his head.

"Is he trying to attack the guests?" Esther asked.

"I think he must have other plans, if he's not found out so quickly. But he's partly successful. The dementors terrify Horace and his guests. He did not choose his punishment. The blow was undoubtedly effective and Professor Slughorn has decided not to hold such events. It was very hard on him."

"It's a pity," Esther said absently.

"You don't like this party?" Dumbledore asked with a smile.

"I'm not very suitable for this kind of activity." Esther said with an excuse.

Suddenly Dumbledore asked Esther as if he just remembered, "I heard that your Patronus is a doe?"

Esther's expression twisted, as if he had drunk the bitterest potion.But she quickly restrained her expression and became nonchalant.

"No, it's a horse," said Esther.

Dumbledore's blue eyes looked at her from behind half-moon lenses, but he didn't question her lie.

When Christmas was approaching, Esther received an invitation from Molly to spend the holidays with her at The Burrow, but she politely declined.She felt like she couldn't fit into the festive atmosphere.She hasn't gotten out of her emotional slump yet, and she has no interest in anything.

On Christmas morning, she routinely opened the few Christmas presents she had.Sure enough, Snape did a great job this time, and didn't even give her a card.She laughed to herself at her undue expectation, then set up the cauldron to find something to do for herself.The brain is best kept quiet during labor, which is the most useful conclusion she has come to these days.

She kept herself busy until it was getting late before stopping to rest.There was probably a Christmas dinner in the auditorium, but Esther didn't want to go downstairs to attend, and since there were not many people, it was inevitable that he would have to eat at the same table as Snape.Since people clearly told him not to harass him, then he should do as he wished.

She stared blankly out of the window. The field was covered with a thick layer of snow, which became brighter and whiter in the darker and darker environment.She was so absorbed in watching that she forgot about her hunger and time.

After midnight, a black figure suddenly appeared at the gate of Hogwarts.The black shadow seemed to be shaking a little.He paused for a moment, trying to steady himself.After walking a few more steps, he finally failed to stop and fell on the snow.

Esther recognized Snape from the first sight, and she wondered why he didn't attend the Christmas dinner when he came back from outside.But she didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, after all, she had decided not to appear in front of him as much as possible.But when he fell out of control and fell into the snow, she finally couldn't help but rushed out of the door and rushed to the gate of the castle.

She picked Snape up from the snow, and he seemed a little unconscious.She conjured up a stretcher and dragged Snape onto it.Then directed the stretcher to rush to the school hospital.

Snape's mouth seemed to move.Esther stopped and put her ear close to Snape's mouth, and a faint voice came out of her hot breath, "The cellar."

Esther had to change his mind and go to Snape's office.She directed the stretcher into the unchanging office, and easily opened the secret door of the bedroom hidden behind the shelf.She moved him to the bed again with all her strength and examined his body with a spell.

Was tortured by the Cruciatus Curse without a doubt, and there must have been other spells.Snape's forehead was hot, his hair was sticky with sweat, and he looked a bit embarrassed.

Esther picked some potions from his storage room and took them to his bedside, and poured them into him bit by bit.The heat seemed to have subsided a bit, but Snape still frowned, as if trying to endure the pain.Esther gritted her teeth and reached for his robe.

It stands to reason that in St. Mungo's she did not undress the patient once or twice.But facing Snape, she hesitated.She couldn't promise that she could really test him without any emotion, and she wasn't sure if Snape would accept her test, after all, their relationship was so tense now.

At first she unbuttoned him carefully.But seeing the blood oozing out of it, she didn't hesitate so much.She tugged at his robe and flipped off his shirt, revealing the wounded skin underneath.A series of hideous bloodstains meandered on the pale skin, and there seemed to be something burning in the outward wound.Esther took a breath, cruel magic.Just now he couldn't see it under the cover of his black robe. He didn't expect the wound inside to be so deep.She drew her wand, carefully testing the wound.Cursed injuries are the most difficult to heal, because their injuries are always different, and there is almost no unified treatment method.Fortunately, Esther worked hard at Bivis and learned a lot, so she decided to solve the burning problem first.

After trying many times, she finally found the most effective and fastest way to break the curse.She hastened to remove the magic attached to each scar, and then cut away the carrion that had been burned to death by the spell.Finally, he used the healing spell and Bai Xian to connect the damaged flesh.Each scar is an independent magic damage, which adds a lot of trouble to Esther.She patiently treated them one by one, and there might be a little scar left, but it shouldn't be serious, at least not more conspicuous than those old scars.

After treating the wound on the front, Esther took off Snape's clothes and turned him over.The back is more severe than the front.Esther took a deep breath, then settled down and continued to work.

When Estella pulled down her trousers, she felt a little tangled in her heart, but it didn't affect her too much.She convinced herself that this was normal behavior for a therapist, and that she could pretend that Snape was just a strange patient.There are not many injuries on the legs, and Esther is already very skilled.She quickly finished the treatment of the last few scars, and changed him to a comfortable position to lie down.

Snape looked much more relaxed.Esther breathed a sigh of relief.She cleaned him from head to toe again, then pulled the covers back over him.After everything was packed, Esther went to the desk outside to put the cauldron on the shelf to prepare another potion for recovery.

Since the treatment process required accurate and stable spellcasting, Esther's arm holding the wand was a little sore, and it was difficult to use force when grinding the moonstone.She put down the hammer and shook her arms, and took a short rest before continuing to grind the crystal gems into a fine and uniform powder.

After more than an hour, Esther finally poured the boiled and cooled potion into the glass.She walked into Snape's bedroom with the potion, and Snape was already awake.

"Get out." Snape's lips barely moved, but the meaning was clearly expressed.

"Lock your tongue!" Esther chanted a spell at Snape without dragging his feet. "I'm the therapist, you're the patient. I can ignore your attitude, but you can't interrupt my work. Drink this."

Snape glared at Esther angrily, as if disapproving of her casting the spell on him.

"I believe you can cast a curse on me even if you don't speak, but I advise you not to do so. You are seriously injured, and it is better to rest. When you are fully recovered, I will fight with you. Now hurry up I drank this." Esther said impatiently.

She undid Snape and held his head up.Snape struggled a bit, Esther raised the cup to let the liquid rush to his mouth.He had no choice but to stop moving and let Esther pour the whole cup of potion into his mouth.

Snape turned his head the other way and didn't bother to talk to Esther again.Esther cleaned the glass leisurely, and then naturally put her hand on Snape's forehead, which earned Snape another glare.

Ignoring Snape's eyes, she used her wand to make the fire burn brighter.Then he picked up a book on the shelf at random, and sat on the sofa with his back to Snape, flipping through it lazily.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Snape said angrily.

Esther turned a page of the book and said without looking back, "Even if you can't treat me like a gentleman like Narcissa, please be a little more polite? Anyway, I just finished treating your injury."

"Please - get out," Snape said almost through gritted teeth.

"Okay," Esther put the book back and shook his robe, "Don't worry too much, your injury is not so easy to heal completely, I'll come back for a checkup tomorrow."

"No!" Snape refused.

"Then I'll let Madam Pomfrey come?" Esther looked at Snape defiantly.Snape was finally defeated, and Esther left with a soft snort.

The next morning, Esther came to Snape's office with the potion.Snape was writing something on the table.He glanced at her sullenly with a dark face, and said in a low voice, "Let it go."

Esther opened the secret door of the bedroom rebelliously, and said calmly, "Go in and take off your clothes."

"This is my office!" Snape growled.

"Then do you want to go to mine? Or should I go to the school hospital to apply for a bed?" Esther suggested seriously.

Seeing Snape's angry and unwilling expression, Esther put on a straight face and said impatiently, "Hurry up, don't waste time, aren't you a child? You're still cowardly when you treat an injury."

Snape probably had never seen Esther look like this before, he froze for a moment, then walked into the bedroom hesitantly.

Esther watched him finish his potion and reached out to unbutton him.Snape flinched back and said nervously, "I'll do it myself."

Esther ignored him, quickly undid a row of buttons expressionlessly, and opened the shirt inside.The wound wasn't very good, and Snape probably didn't take good care of himself, and some places were bleeding again.Esther frowned and took off his clothes completely.She pressed the ointment onto Snape's back with her index finger, feeling the muscles under her finger stiffen instantly.

Probably the wound was involved, Snape hissed and took a breath.

"Relax." Esther said and quickly spread the ointment.But when it was painted on the front, Snape still didn't let his body relax.Esther was also a little uncomfortable, she could feel his warm breath, his tangled eyes, and his slightly trembling body.

Esther tried to stay calm with Occlumency.After wiping the last scar on her belly, she wrapped Snape up with a magic bandage, and looked down at Snape's leg.

"Pants," she said, clearing her throat.

"I'll do it myself." Snape didn't allow Esther to refute, and snatched the ointment from her hand.

Esther didn't insist this time.Instead, she turned and walked to the fireplace and sat down with her back to him.

"Can you get out?" Snape's tone was no longer tough.

"No. And you'd better hurry up, I have to bandage you. I have other things to do in a while, don't take too much time, okay?" Esther said.

There was a sound of clothes rubbing behind him.Esther stared at the fire, trying to give her full attention to the crackling fire.But the sound of Snape's breathing and the small rubbing sound of applying the ointment still inevitably entered her ears.Esther felt his face get hot.

Finally the movement behind her stopped, but Snape didn't call her.She felt that she shouldn't take the initiative to go there, otherwise her behavior of paying attention to him would be exposed.But waiting like this doesn't seem to be the answer.

In the end, Esther stood up impatiently.Reflexively, Snape tugged his trousers in front of him.Esther didn't speak, went straight to him and squatted down, glanced at the few scars.The ointment wasn't evenly applied, but Esther didn't want to reapply it.She directly took the magic bandage to bind up the wound, and then fled Snape's office without a word.
