The Mortal

Successfully inflicts damage on your brain for a short period of time. "Snape extinguished the fire under the cauldron. "I remember the one I gave you last time is the only precious possession I have. "

Of course Harry hadn't, and he remembered that Snape couldn't brew Veritaserum because of the need for magic.He just hoped that some exceptional good luck would befall him, but the reality obviously didn't cooperate.

"Okay." He nodded nonchalantly. "Then let's continue Legilimency at night."

"Not yet." Snape refused bluntly. "That's too often. You'll have to wait at least a week."

"But I learned it to use it at a certain time, and if I miss the time, it will be a waste of effort." Harry tried to persuade him.

But Snape had his own set of principles.He was completely unimpressed by the young man's smile, which captivated most wizards (at least on the surface), and by the approaching source of heat. Harry stopped very close to him. He first glanced slightly curiously at the potion that hadn't completely dissipated the heat, and then touched the oddly shaped potion ingredients piled aside, until Snape, who was concentrating on his work, couldn't bear it any longer. The tools are heavy.

"You won't stop until you reach your goal, Potter?" Snape sneered at him.

"But you used to read Legilimency to me many times in a row." Harry was trying to make himself look reasonable, "Since I had no problems when I was 15..."

"That's different." Snape cut him off. "To crash your Occlumency, that's all I can do - though I still have reservations about Albus' overly aggressive decision."

"You disagree?" Harry asked him in surprise.

"You have to figure it out, no matter how much great aura you have on your body, it's not the magic you should learn at your age - even today. And Demention," with a very short pause and a cold snort, "simply and briefly Turning up some unnutritious pictures in your mind is enough for you to suffer for a long time. But now, I am afraid that you are the only one who can't imagine that what you let me do to you is several times deeper and several times more dangerous than that. I still Don't want to see a totally idiot Potter rolling on the floor the next morning."

What he didn't say is that you let me go too deep and too far.

Everyone has an instinctive self-protection response, even Muggles are resistant to mental abuse.But Harry had an uncanny lack of reservations about him, trusting him enough to allow him to go into every unbearable corner.

In the end, their respective persistence ended with the failure of the omnipotent savior.He couldn't handle Snape with a hundred academic subjects, let alone his safety - for Merlin's sake, it didn't seem like Snape rejected him for that reason - anyway he was in the program After the defeat, he reluctantly accepted the reality.

Just hope nothing happens.

The captured old duke has been handed over to MI5. Ed's vicious gaze before leaving makes people have expectations for Muggle interrogation skills.As for the two wizards who fell to the Savior, they were not so lucky, Harry had to hand them over to the Ministry of Magic after trying to use Legilimency on them to no avail, and they probably needed to stay in Azkaban for a while pending trial.But Harry was not so happy about it. He didn't know if there were any enemies within the Ministry of Magic that needed to be dealt with. If there were still, then his wandless magic would be known, which was not a good thing.

The application of Veritaserum is not so easy.Ever since the accident of the Potions master - that is, Snape - the amount of veritaserum left on the market has long been in jeopardy, and now this controlled potion has been completely reduced to a treasured item.It is worth mentioning that he and Hermione had doubts about the effectiveness of Veritaserum, and it was indeed proved that it can only make people answer what they think is the truth under hypnosis - that means there may be subconsciousness Exaggerations and omissions do not guarantee a complete recovery of the full picture of the facts.

This is also the reason why he is obsessed with learning Legilimency.

Later Harry dragged Snape into yet another kiss.He grabbed Snape's arm with one hand, and slowly worked his way down the forearm until their palms intertwined.He rubbed the callus on the other's hand, thinking that it would not be a good idea to become harder at this time, and kissed deeper. It is really a difficult task for a 20-year-old young man to completely restrain his sexual impulse.But not much more, he's getting better at not allowing himself to be too aggressive, because he's getting more surprises after showing weakness properly than being rejected when he goes further - he doesn't trust Snape at all No, Snape lingered more receptively when he wasn't so eager to ask for something, as if he couldn't resist the intimacy and tenderness of it and fell into it.

Too bad he couldn't hold back the groan that came out - it wasn't all his fault because Snape's lips and breath were on his ears - and then he felt Snape pause, as if suddenly aware of something, and talk to him. Pulled away.They didn't talk, and Harry ended it with a little firm hug at the end, before consciously making the bathroom his temporary home.

When he was in the bathtub, he suddenly remembered the feeling of struggling in the lake in the seventh year, which was completely different from this time, and if Ron didn't jump off without hesitation, he would have sunk at the bottom of the lake long ago - but Snape was there, and he used The Patronus led the way to his good brother to rescue him, and Harry wondered what Snape would do for his life if there was no one else, if there was no one else.

He surfaced at the last moment holding his breath to the limit.

"Alive?" An unfriendly voice sounded. "Really unfortunate."

Harry tensed his back reflexively, and the next moment he found Snape standing by the bathtub with his arms folded, staring down at him.

"You... how did you..."

"Apparently someone was in the bathroom for four or 10 minutes and didn't respond to the outside world. Due to the level of trouble cleaning the body, I had to waste a minute of my time to ensure that I would not be identified as a murder suspect."

Harry wanted to duck under the bathtub in embarrassment - but come on it's only so damn big and you can see everything.Then, obviously, his cheeks and ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.He wasn't sure if Snape's eyes had scraped every inch of his skin when he was still unconscious at the bottom just now.

"Sorry, was just thinking about something." Harry sat up, legs bent, arms draped over his knees, which at least made him barely notice the fact that he was naked. "By the way, take a hot bath to relieve fatigue, and have a good day." He explained.

His back arched in a graceful arc that he was completely unaware of, and the water droplets from the tips of his hair slid over the back of his neck and spread all the way down his spine.

Snape responded with a snort.He quickly glanced at the wound on the boy's back, the purple black had faded a lot and turned into a closer to healthy red, but the edges were a little whitish from the blisters.

"That doesn't need to be reported to me," he said, and strode out of the steamy bathroom.

But maybe it was an illusion, Harry stared at his back and thought, Snape's voice seemed to be extra firm, and his pace seemed to be a little faster than usual.

Watching two Aurors fumble through a crowded supermarket under an invisibility spell is a lot of fun.That's probably worth all the dodge training put together - the housewives snapping up promotional items are highly combative and take a weird and unpredictable route, and the two wizards behind them looking like they're on the verge of tears.This may have entertained Snape, who was forcefully dragged out to replenish the ingredients to a certain extent, at least when he came back and met Mrs. Anderson on the first floor, he didn't directly scare her away, but simply responded with a straight face under Harry's various obvious hints a few sentences.

"I suddenly realized," Harry said while hooking the door with his legs, "you must have a very hard life without me."

"And I think the opposite is true," Snape corrected.

"Are you serious? Even if no one prepares delicious food for you, no one is eager to help you with potion ingredients, no one... ah, here comes the owl."

He tactfully changed the subject before being retorted, then waved open the window, and a tan owl flew in and landed on his shoulder.He stroked its feathers, then unwrapped a less formal roll of paper - yes, not even an envelope, or neatly folded, scrawled on it, and surprisingly it was from Hermione's handwriting.

It didn't take long for him to read between the lines why.

It had only been a few days since things on the Muggle side had gone wrong again in the wizarding world, and finally, the Molfys were not spared after the blow to their small family of pure-blood supporters.The other party obviously knew that they were not that easy to deal with, so they stayed at the end to deal with it, and the owner of Molfy, who was able to miraculously avoid prison after the war, was able to make a proper response even though he did not have the shelter of the former luxury manor.So all in all, the process was thrilling but the result should not be too worrying, Draco's slight injury can also be regarded as harmless
