Chapter 1102

"He grabbed Padfoot," Harry Potter said to Severus Snape as he was about to leave in Umbridge's office. place."

"Padfoot? What Padfoot?" Umbridge looked eagerly back and forth between Snape and Harry. "Snape, what does he mean?"

Snape looked at Harry with a puzzled expression.

"I don't know," Severus said dryly, and then he reached for the door to Umbridge's office and slammed it shut.

"Based on what I just said, can you guess what that little troll said?" Severus asked her after he had escaped from those damn birds and came to a safe place.

Pomona was so out of breath from running that she was too tired to speak.

"I thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out what he expressed. I didn't know that Lucius was not at home until I met Draco."

"What?" Pomona asked puzzled.

"The day before the Battle of the Ministry of Magic was Father's Day, and Draco sent a gift to Lucius, but Lucius didn't reply to Draco." Severus explained again.

"What did you say?" She still didn't understand.

"Tsk." He said impatiently, "The Battle of the Ministry of Magic was on June 17th, and June 16th in 1996 was Father's Day. Since Dumbledore left the school, they have been exchanging letters every day, reporting the situation in the school." , but Draco didn't receive the letter on June 17th, so I know Lucius is busy with other things."

"And you know Lucius is going to steal from the Department of Mysteries, so you know he's gone to the Ministry?"

"Finally you've got the hang of it!" Severus flicked her on the head.

"Lucius and Mulcello let Harry and the others easily enter the Ministry of Magic, and then implemented the plan, but Lucius messed up, you know Lucius' whereabouts, guessed the purpose of the Dark Lord, and then you Tell Phineas Black?" Pomona asked again.

"Otherwise what do you think?" Severus asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Damn it," Pomona cursed, she took George's words seriously, she really thought it was Severus who murdered Sirius.

"Who did you listen to gossip about me?"

"No one." Pomona defended George intuitively.

He was missing one ear already, and if the other was gone, his head would be a dragon's egg.

"Now you understand why I am opposed to breaking through the maze like this. I am not against guessing riddles, but I am against your wild guesses. There is no evidence to support your guesses."

"How did you get the antidote I just drank?" Pomona asked.

"The recipe given to me by the Dark Lord."

"It looks like it worked, does that count as evidence?"

"Just keep your mouth open." He said impatiently, standing against the wall, then took out the cigarette case and began to smoke depressingly.

Pomona snuffed out his freshly lit cigarette.

"It will attract those strange birds." She said fearlessly into his basilisk-like eyes. "The vulture's sense of smell is very sensitive, and it can smell the smell from a kilometer away."

Without saying anything, he put the cigarette case back in his coat pocket.

It felt strange not to speak, Pomona took out the map, they were not far from the entrance of the fifth floor.

Klitsch is with Tom, they are further away from the next entrance, Felix is ​​alone...

Pomona tugged at Severus' sleeve.

"What?" he said impatiently.

"Someone else has come in." Pomona said, pointing to the entrance of the maze, where there were five or six pairs of walking footprints.

"It seems that someone heard what happened just now." Severus stared at the map and said, "Why can't they display the name?"

"I used the soil from the maze, which can only show footprints and the names of people I know on the map." She put the map away. "Should we go directly to the next floor?"

"Only the Dark Lord knows all the plans, we still have to join him." Severus snatched the map from Pomona.

"So we're going to ambush them?" Pomona asked.

"What useful plants did you bring?" Severus looked at the map, frowning.

Pomona began to rummage through her pockets.

"Devil's net, dragon's claw vine, pimple vine, aquatic carrot, foxtail..." She said the name of every plant she found.

"Carrot?" Snape gritted his teeth and smiled "Are you kidding me?"

"It's a poisonous plant," said Sprout sternly. "You can't look down on it just because it's a carrot."

"What is foxtail?"

"A kind of aquatic plant, it can set up traps, and anyone who walks by and steps on its trigger will open the pouch and launch an attack to catch." She said holding the jar of Foxweed contentedly, "This is my new collection. .”

"Just use it," Severus said. "Let's go back to the second floor."

"Wait, the invisibility cloak." Just as he was about to turn into black smoke, Pomona took out the invisibility cloak from her pocket and put it on for the two of them, and then they returned silently to the waterway they had just passed by.

She put the foxtail algae seeds and the prepared dosage of rejuvenating agent and bluing agent solution in a candy bag, and then threw them into the pool, and soon there were waves on the stagnant water, a similar The tawny leaves of the lake's bark stick out from the bottom of the water.

"Let's go." Pomona pulled Severus to run. "This plant can't tell the difference between friend and foe."

He cooperatively left with her.

It's just that he didn't speak all the way, and only the footsteps of the two could be heard in the darkness.

When he was almost in a safe place, Severus immediately let go of her hand, and turned his cold back to her.

Nakamura Yuki has such a big mouth.

Pomona gritted her teeth and thought, not knowing what to do for a moment.

To be fair, she was the one who casually said there was something wrong with divorce, but instead of teaching Severus' stubborn personality, she was brought down by him.

She won't compromise without a bottom line. She used Legilimency on Lyle Meyer as if she didn't see it. It will only happen once, and it won't happen again.

Albus was right not to teach her the gargoyle spells, because sometimes she did lose her mind and fall in dark directions, complicating and plotting a very simple matter.

"So it wasn't Old Nott who killed Barty Crouch Jr., but Barty Crouch Jr.?" Pomona asked out of words.

"Do you know why there are so many Aurors in the Triwizard Tournament? Old Barty Crouch was the judge who sentenced Black. They were afraid that he would get revenge on old Barty Crouch." Severus said. "He has enough motivation."

"Sirius... Black wouldn't do that."

"Why do you think that?" Severus asked with a smirk.

"He is Harry's godfather." Pomona was at a loss for words to explain.

"Have you forgotten that he framed me and was almost bitten by a werewolf?"

"Back then you were all children."

"Just defend him." He said indignantly, "Harry Potter was a good liar when he was 12 years old."

"Why are you holding on to Harry?" she said feebly.

"You all pamper him, that kid has no one to discipline him, of course someone should discipline him!"

"What's wrong with him borrowing a Quidditch book?"

"If he can use the time of playing games to read two more books and fill his empty brain with knowledge..."

"Then he will become a 'nerd'." Pomona interrupted his eloquence again, "Mengnes Hagrid created this maze to remind us to make our stiff bodies flexible again."

"Then you become well-developed limbs and simple-minded, right?" He smiled bitterly. "You are even worse, not only simple-minded, but also undeveloped limbs."

Since she made a mistake first, she endured it.

"This is the first time I've heard that someone was thinking of getting a divorce during their honeymoon." He changed his expression and looked at her. "If you don't want to be with me, why did you agree to my marriage proposal?"

"I didn't say I didn't want to be with you..." she said helplessly.

"Help me, I don't understand your logic, you want to divorce me all the time, but you want to be with me again, what do you want?"

"Then what do you want?" Pomona also asked tit-for-tat. "Is it to satisfy your desire to conquer? Do you want me to listen to you in everything?"

"I want you to believe me! It's not because Albus Dumbledore thinks I'm believable, it's you who think I'm believable!" Severus' eyes seemed to look into hers" Do you know how to love?"

"Know."

"What's the first step?" he pursued.

"...Trust," she trembled.

"Then how much do you trust me?"

She couldn't answer the question.

"Don't trust a person blindly." Albus's voice echoed in her ear "or he'll have complete control over you."

"You didn't respect me at first, and then you didn't believe me." Severus pinched her chin with his fingers. "Are you pitying me?"

"I haven't thought about it that way."

"I don't want that, although you enjoy it." He said wearily. "I don't want our connection to be just that. We need something important and special that you can't do with other people."

"I won't be with anyone else...uh..."

"Sleeping together." Severus completed for her, "This is the most basic of marriage."

"Not every couple can make it..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Severus' cold black eyes narrowed.

"Are you telling me you can't even do that?" he asked in a low, dangerous voice.

"No, of course I can," she trembled.

"Then what did you say before that you were looking for someone else?"

"I frightened you!" she said regretfully.

"Sorry, I'm not a coward, you can't scare me," Severus hissed. think."

"Oh my god, we're in danger now!" Pomona motioned him to look around. "This maze is full of monsters!"

"Don't try to change the subject." Severus sneered. "Are you still thinking about Draco's handsome face?"

"I don't!"

Severus shook his head "I don't believe you."

"Then how can you trust me?"

"This is the problem between us, trust, if you still want to be with me, trust me, otherwise we will end here, everyone will go our own way!" He said breathlessly, "This is my bottom line, What do you think?"

Before Pomona could speak, there were screams in the darkness.

They took out their wands and prepared to ambush.

Although Harry was a good boy, he was a little too careless and didn't make good use of the two-way mirror Sirius gave him.

He really needs to learn to act with a plan instead of doing it without thinking, but unfortunately he chose to be a reckless Gryffindor because he listened to Rubeus Hagrid's family saying that Slytherins are dark wizards and villains. Desperately not wanting to be in Slytherin.

There are too many preconceived stereotypes, and trust cannot be generated.

Fate was actually decided before the little wizard put on the sorting hat.

Whether it's Rubeus Hagrid, Arthur Weasley, or Severus Snape, the old fool said he could trust it.

But who did he trust most?

I'm afraid only the old wizard who sat in the middle of the faculty seat and toasted everyone knew this.
