Newt and Snape had a preliminary guess in their minds, but this guess was too scary.

The real murderer is hidden in Hogwarts, showing himself with a familiar appearance.

However, they didn't guess who it was. In other words, everyone was a suspect, including Snape and Newt himself, and even Dumbledore was a possible suspect.

Newt feels that the murderer is lurking in Hogwarts now, and all the students are like fish on the chopping board, and will be killed like Susan at any time. He thinks that the school should be on holiday and let the children hide in their homes until the murderer is arrested and imprisoned. prison.

Snape expressed great agreement with Newt's idea. The other party was in the dark and his strength was unknown. At least he did kill someone under his nose.

Newt sent Jiang Li back to Hufflepuff's dormitory.

"Although I want to tell you to be safe, it seems a bit redundant. To be honest, Snape and I probably can't beat you." Newt tilted his head and looked at her through the dim light.

"You're right, I'm strong, I know it." Jiang Li dug around in the Qiankun bag for a long time, and then stuffed the shrunken moon soul into Newt's hand, "I'll lend you the moon soul, if you want Be safe, you are old after all.”

After all, you are older...

Newt almost wanted to faint. Is this what a person could say?

Even with Jiang Li watching him eagerly, he still put the Yue Soul into the inner pocket of his coat, but he didn't think about using the sword. The main problem was that he didn't know how to use it.

"Snape should send Eleanor and Hannah back. You should go back and rest early." Newt gently patted the top of Jiang Li's hair and watched her walk into the dormitory before leaving.

After leaving, he immediately wrote an application to suspend classes and submitted it to the Ministry of Magic. However, considering that the Triwizard Tournament was being held, Fudge rejected his application, saying that there was no way to explain to the students from the other two countries.

When Snape returned to the office, he saw two girls sleeping sprawled out on the sofa in the office. His speechless emotions reached their peak at this moment.

No, Professor Scamander really only sent Jiang Li back, so the two children just left him alone, right?

"Ahem, Miss Abbott, Miss Branstone, the professor's office is not the dormitory, and the teacher's sofa is not the bed for you to sleep on." Snape put his hand to his lips and coughed twice, frowning and turning the two girls away. Shouting wake up.

"Oh, sorry Professor, Hannah and I fell asleep while waiting. Where were Li and Susan?" Eleanor rubbed her eyes and looked at Snape, but did not see the other two roommates.

Hannah also looked at Snape longingly.

"Professor Scamander has sent Jiang Li back to Hufflepuff's dormitory. As for Miss Burns, she had some accidents. Professor Dumbledore has contacted her parents to pick her up." Snape Answered expressionlessly.

"Okay, don't ask any more questions. Now follow me and I will take you back to the dormitory."

"Eleanor, what kind of accident do you think it would be? Susan's parents actually asked her to take her back."

"Professor Snape doesn't want to say it. I guess she might be pregnant with Zabini's child. The head of Slytherin will naturally defend their students."

Snape: ...This is getting more and more outrageous. Can I tell you the real situation? This must scare you both silly.

Hogwarts was eerily silent at night. The only sounds in the castle could be heard were the dripping of water and the sound of moving stone steps. The two girls were obviously scared and held each other's arms tightly.

The faint sound of footsteps can be heard vaguely, making the corridor at night even more terrifying.

"Snape...Professor Snape, can we grab your clothes?" Hannah's voice was trembling, tears were about to fall, she was very uneasy.

Snape frowned, vaguely feeling something around him. He nodded, took a candle from the wall and gave it to the two girls, trying to dispel some fear.

The two girls immediately reached out and grabbed a corner of his long clothes and followed him closely.

For the first time, they felt that the journey back to the Hufflepuff dormitory was so long.

Snape was getting more and more uncomfortable as he led them away. They had been walking for almost half an hour, and for no reason they hadn't arrived at Hufflepuff's dormitory yet.

"Professor, look here!" Eleanor's voice was already crying. She pointed to the wall, where a candlestick was obviously missing.

"What's wrong!" Snape immediately became alert and took out his wand in a defensive posture. "You two, take out your wands!"

He regretted a little. He should have asked Scamander and Thornhead to go back to the office together just now. At least they had a chance of winning with three and two. Now that he was dragging two burdens by himself, it was hard to say.

A powerful wind blade struck Snape, and he quickly used all his guards to defend himself. The two girls behind him were completely frightened, holding their wands with dull eyes. He could not expect them to do anything.

He suddenly felt that it was better to stab the head. In this case, the stabbing head had already begun to fight back.

A figure wearing a black cloak appeared in the dark corridor not far away. A name came to Snape's mind, and then he looked at the dark mark on his wrist. There was no reaction, it was not him!

The other party said nothing, and a green curse struck Snape.

Avada Kedavra!

The other party is directly coming to kill him, maybe he is the murderer who killed Susan!

Snape waved his wand and quickly defended and counterattacked, but the opponent's magic power was higher than his, and he gradually began to fail.

Hannah and Susan were very scared, but they thought about their usual practice scenes with Jiang Li, gritted their teeth and kept casting armor spells and recovery spells on Snape.

Because there were two nannies behind him who were weak but had a large supply of milk, Snape also fought back and forth with each other.

His death curse hit the man's left hand, and the surrounding environment seemed to be peeled off the oil paper to reveal its original appearance, and the spell that trapped them was lifted.

However, the opponent was still not dead after being hit by the killing curse, and even suffered only minor injuries.

"Leave him alone, kill that girl, she saw it." Suddenly another figure with an unclear face walked up to the man and pointed his wand at the two girls behind Snape.

Snape's expression changed greatly, and he quickly used the armor spell to defend himself. He pushed the two girls to the stairs on one side, which led to the basement. Maybe Scamander and Thornhead were still at the door of the dormitory.

"Run quickly, get down quickly, and find Jiang Li and Scamander!"

Hannah looked hesitantly at Snape, who was already injured. Eleanor gritted her teeth and pulled her over, rushing downstairs.

"Don't even think about running away!" The black shadow that appeared later chased in the direction of the two girls.

Snape quickly went to intercept him but was knocked to the ground by the first black shadow with a curse.

He fell to the ground, vomited a large mouthful of blood, turned around and hugged the pursuer's calf tightly.

"It's really a desperate matter!" An eerie voice appeared above his head.

There was a sharp pain in his knee, and a sharp dagger pierced directly into his knee. The pain made him sweat coldly and gasp for air.

But he didn't let go.

It's strange that the guy whose feet weren't held by him didn't pursue him.

"You delayed my business, Severus Snape. I can only send you to see your mother."

The gleaming dagger passed by Snape's eyes, and the cold edge was close to his throat.

A little further down and he would die that night.

Sorry, I'm going to miss my appointment.
