"She will be eager to find Signus." Corison lowered her voice and whispered in Lucius' ear: "She needs Signus' help now."

"But Signus won't help her, and he won't show up. Maybe Signus has eloped with Snape!" Lucius said, grabbing Corison up, taking advantage of the discussion among the crowd. Leaving the dining room, running back to the Slytherin cellar, through the empty common room, and into the prefect's bedroom.

"I know you're trying to find a reason for their disappearance." Corrison walked behind, closed the door, and said in a panic, "But can you stop being so sudden! Merlin! You can't wait until tomorrow dawn, Blake The house is going to blow up."

"Then what should we do?" Lucius turned around sharply, showing even more irritability: "The Dark Lord's things have been stolen, and he can't wait to search the whole of England. At this time, should we let him know that West Gnass disappearing for no apparent reason? I have to make sense of it!"

"You think it's reasonable to elope?" Corison said in disbelief.

"At least the period can be delayed."

"Then do you think that after Signus came back, he found that the gossip about him had spread all over the UK, and would he want to kill you?"

"Let him alone." Lucius let out a long breath, and looked at Corison: "You haven't explained yet, why did you come back alone?"

This question is really difficult to explain. Corison rubbed his nose, and started with what they discovered along the way: "...so I judge that Signus is injured, but his life should not be in danger. He was born in Hangleton. I jumped off the cliff behind the city to escape the Dark Lord's pursuit."

"What about the others?" Lucius asked.

"I didn't find him."

"And what about Severus?"

Corison looked away: "He jumped too."

"What?" Lucius couldn't help shouting out: "Merlin! He's only in the third grade! How dare he!"

Corison collapsed on the sofa, with a look of lovelessness: "We all drank the invisibility potion at the time, I couldn't see him, and there was no chance to stop him."

The matter was already like this, and the explanation was weak, Lucius rubbed the center of his brows, pacing back and forth.Several times he had already impulsively walked to the door, then forcibly pulled himself back, and continued to circle around in vain.

Corison smiled wryly: "I know you are in a hurry, why would I want to come back by myself? But it won't be long before the Death Eaters will be dispatched to find today's suspect. At this time, the two of them and I disappeared together for no reason. , It’s really not a good idea.” And if only Signus and Snape were missing, at least they could disclose their intimate relationship and divert attention temporarily.Anyway, the magic world knows that if Black's heir wants to be with a mixed blood, it is tantamount to declaring war with the family. Of course, the idea of ​​elopement is very possible.

Corison touched his nose again, and realized that he had no position to accuse Lucius of acting impulsively with such thoughts.

"Do you know what the Death Eaters are doing now?" Corison asked, slightly uncomfortable in his tone.

Lucius glanced at Corison, although he didn't say anything, the heaviness in his eyes was enough for Corison to make up for himself.

"Merlin protect Severus from anything." He sat down discouraged and muttered, "Otherwise, Signus will kill me when he comes back."

……

The night was falling, and Snape, who was deeply missed by the two senior Slytherins, was slowly waking up from the gravel beach.He woke up from the cold. Although it was only early autumn at this time, the wind in the wilderness was already icy cold, blowing on his drenched black robe, making him shiver involuntarily.

Under the starry sky, Snape restrained his trembling, barely lifted his arm and waved his wand. "Luminescence" can only illuminate a small area around it, and the places a little further away can only be illuminated by starlight, but the starlight is not enough for him to see the surroundings clearly, and it is impossible to determine whether Signus was also washed here by the river .

Some rock in the river broke his forehead, Snape shook his dizzy head and slowly got up.He couldn't see how his lips were frozen blue, and he didn't know how pale his face was like those ghosts in Hogwarts.In the dark, he just groped around with the faint light.

Maybe Signus is here?He was wounded, and he had fallen from such a height that if he had drifted down the river, he must have been around here.

The gravel beach is not big, and further away is sparse woodland.Snape walked everywhere in the shallows, but he never found any clues.

"Where are you! Damn it! Where are you!" Under the starry sky, beside the sparkling river in the dark night, Snape murmured hoarsely.

He didn't like yelling like a madman like the main character in those Muggle TV shows, it didn't help at all.But at this moment, when he was about to collapse, he suddenly had the urge to shout to release the fear and anxiety in his heart.

"Siegel..." Snape opened his mouth, but in the end he just called out the name in a low voice with a trembling voice.He took a deep breath and tried to shout again: "Siegel!"

"Siegel!"

In the night when no one was around, his voice was so small that it would disappear in a short distance without leaving even an echo.Snape shook his body wearily and sat down.When the will that had been supporting him all the time suddenly faded away, this piece of darkness where he was alone suddenly showed a threat like a wild beast, as if there were prying eyes in all directions.

The wind rustled through the woodland, blowing Snape's wet robes, and he remembered that he should use a Drying Charm and go to the woods for shelter from the wind.

His body seemed to be getting heavy, and it took several minutes for Snape to stand up again, and walked forward in silence.The forest was only a hundred meters away, but at this moment it seemed as if it was a century away. Snape thought it took him a long time to get close, but when he looked up, he saw that the starry sky was still the same as before, and the time had probably passed. Only for a few minutes.

If I can't find him, I will never go back alone, Snape thought, but his overworked body was already protesting, making him feel dizzy, and the dead leaves accumulated over the years covered the ground, making him The weak footsteps swayed even more, and finally stumbled and fell by a certain tree.

The wound on his forehead was bleeding again, Snape wiped the redness from the corners of his eyes casually, and lifted his head up while supporting the tree trunk.In the dark night, Signus' pale face suddenly appeared at such a close distance that Snape's mind went blank at this moment, as if he was in a hallucination.

"Si... Siegel?" He froze for a long time before speaking with a trembling voice. He still couldn't believe that Merlin sent Signus to him just like that.Under the faint light of the wand tip, the seventh-year Slytherin looked so fragile for the first time, his lips were pale, his face was covered with blood, and his robes were torn, with the coldness and dampness of the river.

He probably got here by the current, crawled across the shallows by himself, hid in the woods, and then couldn't hold on and passed out.Snape trembled to touch it, then raised his wand hastily and cast several drying spells on Signus's wet clothes first.

The person in front of him closed his eyes quietly, and Snape lightly touched his icy cheek, although the movement was light, it still made the comatose Signus vigilant.He frowned suddenly, trying to fight against his exhausted spirit, trying to wake up convulsively.Snape noticed that his right hand was bending unnaturally, hanging limply by his side, and his left hand was groping unconsciously, as if looking for a wand.

"It's okay, it's me, it's Severus..." Snape grasped that hand, stroked the tiny wounds on it, and finally couldn't help crying.

He didn't dare to lean on Signus, lest he accidentally touch his wound, so he sat down next to him, holding a scarred hand, and wiping off the dirt and blood on it little by little.

The familiar voice comforted Signus, and he gradually calmed down, no longer forcing himself to wake up.From time to time there were slight noises in the woods, which seemed to be wild animals, or maybe Death Eaters searching around here.Snape rubbed his eyes, not daring to lead Signus around in the dark, so he could only extinguish the dim light on the tip of his wand, and spent a long night silently by his side.

He thought it would be very difficult to bring the unconscious Signus back by himself, but the next day it was just dawn, and the person beside him who had been in a coma all night struggled to regain consciousness.

The picture in front of him became clearer, and Signus looked at Snape, and suddenly smiled, not paying attention to the wound on the corner of his mouth: "Is this a dream?"

Snape also looked at him, resisting the urge to cry, and gently stroked his cheek with his palm.

"It's so warm on you." Signus was silent for a long time, rubbing Snape's hand reluctantly, and slowly closing his eyes: "I'm sorry."

Snape sniffed, "Why do you say that?"

Signus moved his lips and repeated in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

The morning light is faint, and the sun will come out soon.Snape silently put one of Signus' arms on his shoulders, trying to lift him up.However, the 17-year-old Signus is much taller and stronger than him, and many attempts can only end in failure.

"I haven't used the Levitating Charm on anyone yet." He turned to Signus, gripping his wand in a daze.

Signus smiled: "Don't worry, we can apparate out of here when my magic power recovers a bit."

"Death Eaters may be nearby!"

Signus thought for a moment. "Did you bring Polyjuice Potion?"

"Here." Snape said, taking a potions box from his pocket.

"Drink it, then go to the river and wash it off. Remember, you are just a magical creature hunter who had the bad luck of meeting a dark wizard." Signus said, slowly turning into a huge hunter in front of Snape. magic dog.Under the cover of thick fur, at least the injuries on his body are not so obvious, only the limbs are still limping.

The giant dog stretched out its tongue and gently licked the wound on Snape's forehead, and looked at him quietly with bright black eyes, like a kind of silent comfort - it's okay, I'm here, we're together.

When Signus woke up, Snape's tense nerves relaxed instantly, and the anxiety disappeared. The big, rough tongue of the canine licked his cheek, tickling him, and he couldn't help laughing.He hugged Signus' furry head and rubbed it, got up and walked to the river, looking at his dirty and embarrassing appearance under the reflection of the river.

"We can go back safely, right?"

The demon hound beside him whimpered and nuzzled him.Snape smiled, suddenly rolled up his trousers and took off his shoes: "Do you want to eat fish?"

Of course the big dog couldn't answer, but quietly lay beside him, raised his eyes and looked at him.It was so cute and pathetic that it made Snape laugh again.

"Wait, I'll catch some fish for you."

"Wang!"

"I know, I'll be careful."

……

Not far from them, several Death Eaters stared at a man and a dog by the river behind the trees.

"It's just a fool and a dog." One of the Death Eaters said disdainfully: "Let's go, the lord's mission is the most important thing."

"What's the rush?" Another person said, "I think this guy is suspicious."

"The person we are looking for is seriously injured. You think he looks like he has been seriously injured?"

The man was silent for a moment, then spoke again: "Anyway, it is very doubtful to appear nearby at this time."
