HP One More Chance.

Alice's own room was placed next to the dressing table.This happened to block the only window in the room, making the room completely dark while it was still daylight.

She took out the match, lit it with a swish, and then lit a half-melted candle on the dressing table.

"From now on, you can no longer use magic."

She looked at the reflection of "myself" in the mirror in front of me, and said to "myself" lightly.This is not a soliloquy, because the person reflected in the mirror at this moment is no longer "Alice Miku".

"I am the current me, she is the past, not to mention... she is dead."

The potion has been drunk for a long time, and she has been shutting herself in the room since then, quietly waiting for another person to appear: the long brown hair that has not been taken care of for a long time has become a refreshing short hair of honey color, and the blue His eyes have also changed to amber.Everything has become completely strange.

Even the necklace around her neck was taken off with her own hands, which meant that the last line of defense that could protect herself had been completely abandoned.

"you are not me."

——From this moment on, you are no longer Alice.Miku is gone.

"I'm Shirleylu Miku, the new heir of the Miku family."

The author has something to say: Miss the author is currently struggling with homework tasks in science,

Then after watching a certain animation, the nerve cells were overactive,

So much so that R and Alice in this part become (pseudo) CP...

Afterwards, if the update is slow, in short, most of them are too busy to do their homework. ==

At present, Miss Author is in pain (don’t ask me why it hurts),

Lying at the computer desk struggling to do homework...

There are also code episodes, all kinds of...

In short, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also bitter.

"Can you come out now? Allie... Shirley Lou."

Regulus fidgeted and paced in front of Alice's room, finally couldn't bear the dead silence, stood in front of the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door lightly, asking.

No one should.

"Shirley Lou," he asked again without hesitation, "Senior Snape is coming soon, can you tidy up and come out?"

But the result was still the same, no one answered him a word.

"Shirley Lu...I've been waiting for you outside for a long time, can you come out?"

"..."

"Alice! Are you in there!"

He yelled, and finally couldn't bear it after being asked the third question mark in a row and still couldn't get an answer. If it wasn't because of due etiquette, he would have rushed in and hugged the procrastinating lady straight away. Out.

"Ai..."

"You can hear you shouting so loudly even if Snape hasn't arrived yet."

Unexpectedly, at the same time as he was about to shout for the fourth time, the closed door was suddenly pulled open from the inside, and a gust of wind flowed into the dark room along with the airflow.Suddenly, a woman with short honey-colored hair and a long aqua blue dress came out of the darkness and appeared in front of him, looking at him with her amber eyes impartially.

"Besides, I told you not to call me 'Alice' anymore. I am Shirleylu Miku, Mr. Black."

"What? You..."

Regulus suddenly lost his mind, looking at the person in front of him who had completely changed from his memory, he could only open his mouth but didn't know what to say to her.

"Why did you change your appearance? Merlin is here...I can't believe it..."

"What's so unbelievable... Am I ugly like this?" Alice was confused by his words, subconsciously looked down at her own attire, and then ran back to the room to look in the mirror again: everything It's normal, everything is fine, except for the change in appearance, the person in front of the mirror can't be seen as "Alice Miku" at all.

There is a feeling that even I have forgotten my original identity. A strange sense of strangeness invades my heart, but I am forcibly turned back to a normal state by my own will.

"Very good, I think the current appearance is much better than the original me." She turned her head and smiled and said to Regulus who was still in a state of astonishment, as if she justified herself.

"It's very good, yes...but..."

——If I hadn't known the inside story early in the morning, I almost wouldn't have recognized who you were.

"No... I don't know who you are at all, I mean I think..."

He found that he couldn't take his gaze away from Alice, and a blush that shouldn't have appeared on his face now flooded his cheeks.

"Reculus, what's wrong with you?"

After realizing that he was staring at her all the time, Alice felt a little abnormal, so she frowned and asked the other party.Of course, there is actually no other meaning in it, just a reminder.

"No...nothing...I mean it..."

Being reminded of his strangeness, Regulus quickly turned his face away unnaturally, then pretended to be indifferent and deliberately walked away a few steps, and after a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said casually:

"By the way, if there is no problem... why don't we just go down, counting the time, it seems that Senior Snape will arrive almost soon, it would be bad if he finds that there is no one downstairs..."

"Wait, I haven't worn my shoes yet, what are you in a hurry for?"

Alice walked up with bare feet, and at the same time stretched out her hand to hold Regulus's hand, signaling him not to go first, "At least wait until I put on my shoes and accessories before walking together."

——But "accident" is something that no one can predict.

Regulus, who had already turned around, even stepped out, but he never thought that Alice would catch up and hold him back.

As a result, after being pulled by her like this, my center of gravity suddenly lost.

"what……"

He stepped into the air, and because he couldn't maintain his balance, he could only fall directly backwards.And the instigator of this incident—the innocent "stupid" Ms. Alice, obviously didn't expect that a small action of hers would cause such a big chain reaction.

She was about to be thrown to the ground by Regulus, and she was pressed down by someone.Watching him rushing towards her with wide eyes, she could only maintain this state and look at him, even so surprised that she couldn't even speak.

"..."

A heavy fall sounded on the wooden floor, a very exaggerated sound.But what followed was the pain of the bone being forcibly hit the ground, which was not what it should have been when falling to the ground.

"... Alice, are you okay..."

The pressure surrounding her body loosened with the words, and only then did Alice realize why she didn't feel pain.It was before the two of them were about to roll down the stairs that Regulus hugged her tightly, protecting her in his arms.

"...No...it's all right..." She was still in shock and managed to spit out a few shapeless syllables.

But now, the distance between the two of them has completely become close to each other, maybe not even a centimeter apart, so that she can clearly feel the warm breath of the other party flowing on her face.

She didn't dare to move, she was completely stunned, as if petrified.

Looking at him from such a quiet distance was the first time since she knew him, and even when facing Severus before, she had never looked at him from such a distance.

——Does this mean that he and she now...

She could no longer think calmly.

For a moment, in such an absolutely still and rigid atmosphere, a warm feeling covered her lips.

——? !Alice came back to her senses in an instant, and immediately pushed away Regulus who was still pressing on her with all her strength, and stepped back in embarrassment, hoping to keep a certain distance from him.

Even if she didn't need to look in the mirror, she knew that her face must be flushed at the moment, especially from her snow-white skin, which was extremely attractive.

"...Regu...Les..."

But the other party's attention was obviously no longer on her reaction.Just when the scene happened just now, there was another sound of "bang, bang, bang" footsteps in the stairs, which was no less than the sound they made when they fell on the floor together.

The abnormal noise caused Regulus to get up quickly and walk down the stairs quickly, leaving only Alice watching him in a daze, not knowing what happened next.

She turned to look at the source of the sound, followed Regulus' footsteps downstairs, and what abruptly entered her line of sight was another kind of darkness that blended into the already dark space.

She froze.However, it only lasted for a few seconds, and soon the voice of someone coming made her more sure of where she was now and who she saw.

- Severus... Snape...

The man in black was standing beside the stairs with his back turned to her.She couldn't see what his expression was at the moment, but the atmosphere here told her that there were probably no pleasant expressions on his face.

——If he guessed correctly, he should have been impatiently waiting downstairs.

Moreover, maybe he also saw the absurd "kissing scene" between her and Regulus just now.

"So that's why you 'sincerely invited' me here, Mr. Black? Just to let me enjoy the intimate scene between you and the lovely lady beside you."

Snape's tone was full of sarcasm, and all kinds of dissatisfaction and displeasure were evident in his every word, without any kindness at all.

"It's really a pity that you made me have to give up the precious time of preparing potions. It seems that if I stay here to spend time with you, it will be tantamount to harming myself..."

He said coldly, however, Alice stopped him:

"Severus Snape."

She murmured calmly, her eyes were particularly sharp.

The author has something to say: All kinds of CPs are messing around, anyway, please don’t get me wrong... OTZ

It really wasn't written that way on purpose.

——Even without bidding farewell, weseparated.

Even without any farewell, we are far away.

She never thought that meeting him again would be such a situation.

"Severus Snape."

Hearing the sound, Snape turned and looked behind him. Apart from Regulus who tried to keep him back just now, that strange lady also appeared on the stairs at some point, and looked at him with complicated eyes.

He knew she had called his name.

—How would she know who I am?

"Miss, it's the first time we met. Although I'm sorry for what I said just now, I think I'm going to leave. I hope you and Mr. Black are all well, forgive me for leaving first."

He didn't understand why the other party could call out his name directly when they met for the first time.But in his opinion, maybe that lady did it unintentionally, or maybe she just heard what he said sneering at Regulus just now, so it's not surprising that she would feel angry from her standpoint .

Such insignificant details, you don't need to worry about it.

--and many more.

"Wait! Mr. Snape, don't you want to hear a correct explanation?" Seeing that Snape was about to leave the mansion again, just before he was about to disappear from her sight, she never He lifted the hem of the skirt under the stairs and ran straight there.

At the moment when the other party was surprised by her behavior, she stood still in front of him, raised her head and stared firmly into his eyes:

"Mr. Black and I really didn't invite you here to make fun of you wholeheartedly."

This time, he was finally able to see her clearly.

——Honey-colored shoulder-length short hair, skin as white as snow without applying makeup, amber eyes like gems, and a silver ring hanging between his collars.

The colored pendant is very conspicuous.

Seems...deja vu, especially in such a tone of voice.

He froze for a moment.

——"If you want my life, I will give it to you, and it will be considered that I owe you, and we will not default on each other from now on."

The person who said those firm words in front of him... felt exactly the same.

"Do you think I will lie to you? Do I need to play with you like this for you who have never met?" Seeing that he didn't answer, 'Shirley Lou' asked again.She grabbed his arm unconsciously, but Snape instinctively flung it away.

"Then forgive me for being rude. I didn't mean to express in words that I think you guys are deceiving me. At least what I have seen so far is real."

"yes……"

She lowered her eyes, her face was overshadowed, and her hands that stayed in mid-air began to tremble a little.However, she immediately put her hands behind her, and stepped back step by step until she was beside Regulus behind her.

"Sorry, but I was the one who was rude."

——Looking from afar, I can see someone with long brown hair vaguely in the honey-colored short shoulder-length hair, and the lingering

Strange feeling, or familiar or strange.

"Shirley Lou..."

Seeing her retreating to his side, Regulus gave her a questioning look with concern, but she was absent-minded and didn't realize that he was worried about her at all.

Before they could react, the conversation returned to normal after Snape's reminder:

"Since you already know my identity, miss, can you also explain yours?"

"Yes...of course you can..."

'Shirley Lou' turned her face away to look at the empty floor, as if she could see something, "I am Shirley Lou Miku, the property manager and heir of the Miku family, Too……"

"What is it?"

He pressed the question, but someone else answered the rest of the sentence for her:

"No, she actually wanted to say that she is also my girlfriend now, Senior Snape."

At some point, Regulus put his hand on Shirley Lou's shoulder, and announced to Snape who was standing opposite him what this person was now.

=-=-=-=

A cup of fragrant black tea and a cup of black coffee that seemed to have nothing added were properly placed on the glass coffee table in the reception room, but they were never drunk.

Alice has left.At this moment, he was the only one left in this space with a straight face and him with his head down. The atmosphere didn't seem to be full of gunpowder, but it was freezing cold.

Regulus looked at Snape who was sitting across from him, while speculating on the other party's current state of mind, while thinking about how to start a new conversation between them.But obviously, the other party is also doing the same behavior at this moment, so it's meaningless to compare first, just to see who is better.

After coughing unnaturally a few times, Regulus decided to be the first to interrupt the silence.

"Master Snape, I really appreciate you coming here."

"It's not at this time to be grateful, Regulus." After hearing the sound, Snape raised his head, narrowing his eyes and staring at the 'junior' opposite him who was tensing his nerves, "Besides, thanks to Miku just now Miss also thanked you, if she hadn't come out and said, I thought you were here to invite me to watch a farce this time."

"So to apologize, can I thank you again? You are the one who met me, senior."

Regulus bluntly opened the corner of his mouth and smiled, but it was obviously more than just a simple joke.Maybe his cynical skills are not as good as the senior's, but at least they can be used.

"Stop talking politely, just a word, what's your business with me?"

——Since you said it so straight to the point, you really saw the kissing scene just now.

Regulus couldn't help thinking this way, but what emerged in his heart was not the regret that he should have done wrong, but a sense of joy.

In fact, things are not as bad as imagined.

"... Senior... I need your help, that's all."

"Does this mean that Mr. Black, who used to be powerful, has now abandoned the last bit of rationality, and then deliberately lowered his voice and lowered his head, trying to ask for help from a person whose situation is not much different from his own?" With Ironically, Snape sneered.

"You can say that, I don't mind."

Regulus was not surprised that he would swear at himself like this:

"It's just that I'm serious this time, and you should understand that I won't bother you unless I have to."

He casually picked up the black tea that had been on the coffee table for a long time and took a sip, feeling the coldness attacking his senses, and a bitter metallic taste slowly spread from his mouth.

— the smell of neutralizers.

The potion master with a keen sense of smell has already discovered that the tea on the coffee table has been "sprinkled", but he didn't intend to stand up immediately to remind the other party who was drinking the tea without any sense of crisis, but just watched him drink it. When, always keep a straight face, expressionless.

"For example, this cup of black tea, although to be honest, I think it is really hard to drink, but I have to drink it anyway, because it is related to my own situation."

Regulus narrated plainly, without changing his expression, as if what he just drank was a cup of black tea with a slightly weird taste like ordinary pumpkin juice.

"What is your own situation?"

Snape really didn't know what he was trying to do.He frowned and stared at him, thinking that everything might not be simple anymore.

"Regulus, what happened to you during your disappearance?"

"How about you guess it? I think you should be much more interested in it."

Regulus's smile hung on his face again, and he asked the other party "do you know?" with an innocent look of "I don't know anything", which made people feel that the roles were completely reversed.

"Did you do something that is not allowed to the Dark Lord? If not, the master would not have easily arranged for Bella to keep looking for your whereabouts."

"It should be, unfortunately to tell you."

Regulus agreed disapprovingly, while Snape continued to ponder his own understanding with a straight face.

It's just that he didn't expect the following words to shock him:

"Master... No, it was the Dark Lord who asked me to find the residence of the Potter family... If my estimation is not wrong and the information collected is correct, he should intend to kill all of that family."

Not only did the person who said this understand what it meant after the words were uttered, even the face of the listener on the opposite side turned pale in an instant, and the blood faded away.

"No... the master told me he would let her go...theirs."

"You really believe what that devil said?" Regulus shook his head in disappointment, "Is that why you used Alice's life as the price in the first place in exchange for the safety of Lily Potter's family, senior? grown ups?"

There was a sudden silence, and the vulnerable fragility was cut open at some point.

"No...it won't be like this..."

"Severus, it's true."

Seeing Snape hesitating to speak in front of him, as if he had changed suddenly, Regulus couldn't help but secretly sighed for Alice.

—Alice, why did you fall in love with this person?

Not worth it, you know.

The author has something to say: Miss the author said that she wants to marry Regulus...

The night fell, as if it was about to fall into the abyss and never recover.

"I thought you wouldn't come, Mr. Snape."

Standing on the far edge, as if intentionally preparing herself for a certain distance, Alice watched the only wooden door leading to the balcony being slowly pushed open. She couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then walked straight over holding her breath. Meet the eyes of that person.

It's a pity that the self he sees in his eyes is no longer the real her.

She didn't know how long she had been standing here waiting. After all, as a restless host, it was not appropriate for her to secretly hide in a corner and listen to the conversation between Regulus and Snape.

And after that, when their conversation was over, she mustered up the courage to run out from nowhere and stopped Snape once again, who was determined to go, and left a sentence in his ear, "Please come to the rooftop on the top floor here." One trip, I'll wait for you" is even more presumptuous.

——But it doesn't matter, because I'm just "Shirley Lou" now.

"From my point of view, I don't think it's appropriate to refuse a lady's polite request. Although I don't want to come, I should at least explain to you."

As always, Severus returned the other party's indifferent gaze with a blank face. Although the tone was not very repulsive, his attitude really made people feel that he would be cold to death if he stayed for a second longer.

"Then should I be sincerely lucky for your gentlemanly demeanor?"

For some reason, when she was about to approach him and was about to meet him, Alice suddenly chose to take a few steps back.In order to conceal this unnatural movement, she immediately turned her back to him, and turned to look at the endless starry sky.

Just like many nights in the past, standing against the wind under the empty starry sky, alone, listening to the silent narration.

She wanted to do it, if she could.

——But at that time, I believed that beyond this vast sky, there was always someone who would stand with her and look forward at this height.

Even if the expectations are different, at least she can know that they are still living in the same world.

"Mr. Snape, do you know why I invited you here?"

After a long time, she asked, but the person who was asked obviously didn't intend to answer her question well, so she said disapprovingly:

"...Sorry, if you invited me here to watch the stars with you, to be honest, I'm not very interested in it."

"Of course not, besides, I'm not qualified enough to ask you to watch the stars with me."

Alice couldn't help shaking her head and smiling wryly when she heard that Severus refused before hearing her announcement.

"Since you're so straight to the point, I won't beat around the bush anymore." She knew that if she didn't get to the point, the person opposite would get impatient sooner or later, "I've heard that you and my cousin are friends before, isn't it?"

"If you think normal partnerships and all that sort of thing count as friends, then so be it."

"That's all."

She sighed, and secretly relaxed a little, "To be honest, I have never seen her before I came to this mansion to inherit the things left by Miku's family... Regarding 'Alice Miku', I I have only heard some fragments from my father all this time. You should also understand that if it is not a last resort, I will not be the heir here, after all, in terms of family relationship, my father has left the Miku family for a long time. "

"yes."

He responded vaguely, and his eyes once again fell on her blue figure soaked in the night.

The feeling of deja vu resurfaced in front of my eyes again, hazy.

"Yes... so I don't like to face such things, especially when it comes to my family identity. But then again, whenever my father mentioned to me about my cousin's family, she always said that she was A very good and bright kid, full of praise in his speech."

Her voice gradually dissipated in the increasingly cold wind and disappeared without a trace.

"Are you jealous that she is better than you? Miss Miku." Severus sneered, and his words began to be blunt again.

"Please call me 'Shirley Lou,' Mr Snape."

Suddenly, as if touched by something, Alice suddenly turned her head and stared at him, her amber eyes became extremely deep and impenetrable.

"...About your question just now, I don't think it's necessary, Mr. Snape. What's more, your joke is not funny at all, please don't misinterpret my meaning, I invite you here, just hope you can As far as you can remember, let me hear the real story about her."

"Then can I refuse your request?"

He didn't even need time to think, just after hearing the other party's purpose, Severus refused without hesitation.Even the tone of voice never questioned, but directly affirmed.

"Why? I don't think it is difficult to recall a person's past, at least for you, is it possible that Mr. Snape has some secrets between you and my cousin? If that's the case No wonder you don't want to..."

"Okay, Miss Shirley Lou, you don't need to say any more."

Facing Shirley Lu's inexplicable speculations, rather than being ridiculed, he might be more willing to satisfy her request to tell what he knows.

——It has nothing to do with me, it doesn't matter if I say it or not.

"Your cousin Alice and I are just working partners. You should also know that she is very skilled in potions, so I have worked with her for a while. But to be honest , I actually don't know anything about her and her family, after all, it has nothing to do with me. Even if I have been a classmate with her for a few years, the meeting is only limited to Potions class."

He stated it plainly, as if dealing with her according to the script.But obviously, Shirley will not let him go so easily:

"Wait, these are not important. What I want to know more is... about her personality and your impression of her."

--impression?About Alice Miku?

who is she.

For one's own world, whoever is the dazzling sun has melted his frozen heart with warmth; whoever is the clear moon has touched his face with silvery gentleness and wiped away tears.

But my eyes seemed to have been burned, and I stayed in the dark for too long, and even my eyes were going to be blind, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

The only thing that can still be felt is the unreal tenderness, like the moonlight, living in the darkness but being able to contain everything with the silver light, no matter it is sin, guilt or resentment.

——Actually, she was not completely blank for him.

At least, in the past days when he was with her, he felt very comfortable and safe, as if he could forget the cruelty of reality.

"She seldom speaks, or she doesn't say much in front of me. Of course, I don't deny that it's because I don't know her very well, so I don't have as much contact with her as you might imagine. .”

——Obviously a person who was born in a noble family, but she likes to read one after another solitary book at any time, instead of being happy to deal with other nobles and try to become a higher-level person.She never thought of her status as high as other nobles, nor did she like to dress up like other noble ladies. Every time she saw her, she looked like she had just woken up.

She never told him that she was an aristocrat. In front of him, she was like an ordinary girl, always smiling, and remained silent.

"I don't think she is as annoying as some people, but I can't say that she has any good feelings that can impress me, except..."

After reading this, he suddenly stopped and stopped talking.

"What's the matter? Why didn't you continue talking?" Shirley asked puzzled after hearing him stop talking.

"Forget it, let's stop here, Miss Shirley Lou, I've already told you everything I want to say. I can't remember any more things now, please forgive me for not being able to go on. In short, she is indeed a I think the better ones are, at least when it comes to making potions."

——That was destined to be his nightmare forever.

The dazzling green light pierced the silent night, the deadly spell was uttered tremblingly, and the wand was pointed at the opposite person who had accepted death unsuspectingly. meaningless.

"From now on... we will not default on each other."

The words that lost the ending reached his ears, even if he realized it for a moment, it was too late, the woman who was standing in front of him just a second ago had fallen silently into his arms, no matter how he called, he would always Never opened my eyes again.

——Those water-blue eyes will no longer look at him.

"Then, one last question."

Shirley didn't seem shocked by Snape's refusal again, as if she had prepared for it long ago, even the conclusion had already been drafted and it was only a matter of time before she asked.

——This is your purpose.

"Have you ever liked her? Even if it's just for a moment."

"No."

The atmosphere suddenly became frozen, and even breathing became heavy and difficult, almost suffocating.

— never?

Yes.The person he likes has always been Lily...

Why did he ever like me.

but……

—Alice, why are you still thinking about him?

As Sirius said, don't forget that fellow Snape betrayed you to Voldemort.

——But don't forget that you have always loved him deeply, the one who loves magic deeply.

……

"...Miss Miku, are you alright?"

After waiting for a long time, there was still no response from Shirley Lou. Snape couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his absolute tone just now, which scared the other party.

It was also a reminder out of sympathy, so he added: "Miss Miku, please don't misunderstand, what I mean is... Iris and I are just friends, very ordinary friends."

"I know."

She forced a smile on her face, ignoring that the other party changed her address back to the well-behaved "Miss Miku" inadvertently.

"It's just... I thought that my cousin had always been happy, but who knew that she had always..."

——It turns out that I have never been loved by you.

"Miss Miku, what do you mean by these words?"

Snape squinted at her disapprovingly.However, under his unhappy gaze, the other party still pretended that nothing happened, and continued to wear the mask with a ladylike smile until the end.

"It's nothing...I'm just a little emotional. Please don't mind Mr. Snape. Just pretend you haven't heard what I just said. It's just my thoughts."

--enough.

"...Thank you tonight, thank you for letting me hear a lot about my cousin... But I'm sorry, the wind here is getting stronger and stronger, I feel a little cold... So, I'd better leave first and go back .”

She raised her hand and wiped it out of her eye sockets, very quickly, before he could see clearly, she returned to her original state.

"Forgive me for not being able to send you away, goodbye."

After finishing speaking, she lifted her heavy steps and passed him resolutely.The hem of the skirt unsettledly raised a small gust of wind in the air, but the sound of howling wind soon overwhelmed the traces that had stayed there.

- Severus Snape, you are very annoying.

The door of the roof was opened again, seeing the inappropriate words and behaviors of those who left,
