The heavy rain finally stopped, and the remaining rainwater dripped down from the eaves.

Snape strode towards the hospital wing, his black wizard's robes billowing behind him, holding the potion for Lily.

Madam Pomfrey was sitting in the lounge. When she saw Snape coming in, she raised a smile and said, "Snape, are you here to deliver the medicine?"

"This is Lily's." Snape nodded, placed the potion in his hand on Madam Pomfrey's table, then turned around and took out more other potions from his pocket, preparing to put them in fixed locations.

The potions on the medicine shelf were quite full, which surprised Snape. After all, he hadn't replenished them in two weeks.

"Ace came here not long ago, and the reserves are still sufficient." Madam Pomfrey explained, "Ever since I got you two little guys, I haven't seen Professor Slughorn come to the hospital wing for almost several semesters. ”

Snape was noncommittal, replenished his energy and walked out of Madam Pomfrey's office.

Sirius and Peter happened to pass by the door and saw Snape coming out. Sirius curled his lips and bumped into him hard as he passed by.

"I wonder when Mr. Black lost your eyes?"

Hearing Snape call out the title he hated most, Sirius turned to look at Snape, his classically handsome face filled with gloom.

Thinking of something, Sirius sneered, "Do you become Voldemort's lackey just because of this mouth? Snotlout?"

"If you are curious, I can make a recommendation for you. But Mr. Regulus Black must know better than me." Snape's face was calm, without any anger.He didn't know how much trouble he had suffered during this period.

"Hey, who would be curious about your dirty and evil organization, Ace?"

"Now the entire Black family, except for you, is more than just curious. It's a shame that Ace still considers you a friend."

Seeing Snape say this calmly, Sirius looked gloomy, "You are not qualified to judge the Black family. Besides, who needs a friend who is a Death Eater? Waiting for her to send me to Voldemort?"

"If that day comes, I think my place at the long table will be higher than the Black family."

"You will die by my wand, just wait, Snotlout."

"Oh, maybe." Snape glanced at Sirius, who was too lazy to play these childlike games with them.

Watching Snape leave, James helped Lily walk out, "You heard it, he has made his choice."

Lily's face was pale, and her green eyes stared at Snape's back, watching him gradually disappear into the corridor.

Unexpectedly, I just went out for a walk and heard such a conversation.

Lily didn't believe it when she heard Snape officially responded to the rumors that he would join the Death Eaters. She always believed that Ace and Snape would never work for the Dark Lord.

But now that she heard Snape's own words, "I will be more advanced than the Black family," Lily's last hope was shattered.

"Go back, James." Seeing Snape's back disappear, Lily turned around and returned to the ward.

In the afternoon, Lily refused the potion sent by Madam Pomfrey. She knew it was prepared by Snape. Lily also did not accept the Easter gift brought by Jerry. She made a statement - refusing to associate with Death Eaters. .

Looking at Jerry flying back and the letters and gifts that he failed to deliver, Ace sighed and took them down. This was good.

Over the next few months, Ace almost entirely distanced himself from his former friends.

Whether it's Asta, Diane and Orville, or Lily, James and others, Ace is no longer traveling with them.

Ace and Snape were on a strange line. Neither the decent wizards nor the Death Eaters welcomed them. The decent wizards expressed a strong dislike for the two of them, especially Snape.The Death Eaters were jealous and fearful of the two, especially Snape.

Snape received more malice than ever before, while Ace received the most confusion and disappointment from everyone.

Lucius strongly welcomed Ace's intention to join, and even invited her to attend a gathering of reservists.

Narcissa was shocked when she saw Ace. After nearly ten years of friendship, she knew about Ace's risky behavior almost instantly, but she did not tell her fiancé about it. Maybe this was another way out?

Everyone whispered about Ace's appearance. She was an impossible person to become a Death Eater in everyone's eyes.

She possesses all the opposite characteristics of Death Eaters - gentleness, kindness, sunshine, brightness... none of these words would appear in Death Eaters.

And such a person would actually want to join the Death Eaters.

However, due to the authority of Senior Lucius and Ace's own profound magic power, no one dared to raise objections.

After all, no one wants to be like Yaxley, who took the lead in a sneak attack on the long table and was knocked away. Now he is still lying in Madam Pomfrey's hospital wing and can only lie to the outside world that he accidentally broke his leg.

The reservists were very boring about the gathering. They only talked about their fanatical admiration for the Dark Lord and their determination to serve the Dark Lord.They will even promote some filthy remarks that insult Hemp wizards and some absurd male chauvinism, as if the existence of witches and Hex wizards is a stain on the magical world, and the existence of female Hex wizards is an unpardonable sin. .

Ace only heard a lot of extreme opinions from it, and got far less useful information than what Ace and Snape had done at other times.Fortunately, Lucius was busy with graduation and didn't have much time to lead everyone in this meaningless gathering.

In the Room of Requirement, a training session was taking place.

Snape thought about the news he heard at the assembly that Voldemort would use "Legilimency" on his subordinates from time to time, and asked Ace to strengthen his training in Occlumency, even though he was now relatively proficient in using this spell.

"legilimens!"

Seeing yourself in someone else's memory is a very strange and wonderful thing.

Ace saw the first time Snape saw him in Spider-End Alley - his immature self, interrupting the bullying of Snape by those boys.

Ace could clearly feel Snape's surprise and excitement at that moment when he discovered that he was also a wizard.

But in just one small moment, Snape drove Ace out of his mind.

"You're pretty good at it now, Severus."

"not enough."

……

This semester, except for the news that Snape had become very good at Occlumency and obtained two Horcruxes suspected of being Voldemort's, there was almost nothing gained.

Even the counter-curse of the Killing Curse has not made any progress.
