Together [HP]

"Did you talk to her?" Professor Snape opened the door and walked in. He raised his eyebrows and asked in a sarcastic tone.

"Why do you care?" Dumbledore walked back to his seat quite calmly. Behind him, Fox began to gnaw on a fish bone.

"And why should you care?" Snape asked sarcastically. "Afraid of another Voldemort?"

Dumbledore stared at Snape with blue eyes, and he suddenly laughed.

"I remember you once said to me that you saw yourself and Lily in them, isn't that why you tolerated their little distractions in your class, and even used Desperation to see that child Is it because of memory?"

"Then why don't you kill her now?" Snape said gruffly, "to prevent the next Voldemort or Death Eater from being born."

"Because," said Dumbledore briskly, "a person who can cast the Patronus Charm won't be the next Voldemort. If she's going to be a Dark Lord in the future, then I think she's more like Grinwald, West." Fleurs. And, don't worry, we have Miss Granger on her, guarding, her soul."

"But it looks like her soul guardian beat her up." Snape sneered, "And, we all know what happened to Grinwald."

The expression on Dumbledore's face changed a little, he looked a little lonely, "Yes," Dumbledore took a deep breath, "Yes, Severus, thank you for reminding me, I I remember it very clearly."

"So when are you going to build a prison for her? Or maybe, she can squeeze in with Greenwald?"

Dumbledore's expression became serious, he stood up, and walked to the window, "She is not Grinwald, she knows what responsibility is. She is not Voldemort, because she knows love. They are still young, Severer Si, there is a lot of experience to toss."

"Then they should be like us." Snape still sneered.

Dumbledore raised his scorched hand, "I must say, Severus, the Grahams raised her very well, very well. She would make a fine heir. Sometimes I really I want to ask them how to raise a brave but not too reckless child."

"She's in my house, Slytherin House, Headmaster," said Professor Snape very dryly, "if you will believe it."

"Yes, I know." Dumbledore nodded, "But it is undeniable that she drew the sword of Gryffindor, which only a real Gryffindor can do. What's more, courage is divided into many things." kind."

"I don't think she would be happy to hear that."

"There are too many secrets hidden in her body." Dumbledore turned his head, with a smile in his blue eyes, "You saw her memory, didn't you?"

Snape sat calmly on the chair. He looked at the table in front of him, "You think she modified her memories? Those memories are not her real memories?"

"Modifying your own memories will reveal your flaws, Severus, do you think there is anything unreasonable about her memories?"

Snape snorted, but he didn't answer.

"We can all tell if a person is lying." Dumbledore walked back to his table and sat down, and Fox whispered cheerfully behind him, "As far as we know so far, I Don't think she's lying about Miss Granger, or, unless, she's able to fool two insanity masters like you and me at the same time. Of course if that's the case, I personally think she There's no practical point in continuing at Hogwarts."

"But you still believe her?"

"Yes, I still believe her, Severus, I still don't want to believe that her Patronus, the cat, was based on a lie."

In February, the snow around the school melted, replaced by cold and damp.Gray-purple clouds hung low over the castle, and the relentless cold rain made the lawn slippery and muddy.As a result, the first Apparition class for the sixth-grade students was moved from the playground to the Great Hall, and the class was rescheduled on Saturday mornings so as not to miss regular classes.

When Jacqueline and Pansy arrived in the Great Hall, the tables were gone.Rain beat against the high windows, and the enchanted ceiling swirled dimly overhead.They assembled before McGonagall, Snape, Flitwick and Professor Sprout (the four Heads) and a small Apparition tutor from the Ministry of Magic.He was eerily pale, with transparent eyelashes and wispy hair, and there was something unreal about him, as if a gust of wind would blow him away.People in the auditorium murmured whether his constitution had been weakened by constant Apparating and Apparating, or that this delicate form was best suited for disappearing.

"Good morning," said the wizard from the Ministry of Magic when the students had arrived and the Headmasters had silenced everyone, "my name is Vikki Tecrosse and I will be your Apparator for the next twelve weeks. I hope I can help you prepare for this Apparation exam..."

"Malfoy, be quiet!" Professor McGonagall snapped.

Everyone turned their heads. Malfoy blushed and walked away from Crabbe with an angry face. They seemed to be arguing quietly just now.Jacqueline glanced at Snape, who seemed annoyed too, though perhaps more because of Professor McGonagall's criticism of his House students than Malfoy's indiscipline.

"By then, many of my classmates may be able to take the exam," Tecross continued, as if uninterrupted.

"As you may know, Apparition and Disapparation are generally not allowed in Hogwarts. The headmaster specially revoked the magic, and lifted this restriction for one hour, only in the auditorium, so that everyone can practice. Let me emphasize, no apparition Manifesting beyond the walls of the Great Hall, it would be unwise for anyone to try."

"Now I want everyone to stand up and leave five feet of space in front of them."

There was chaos in the auditorium, and students began to disperse, bump into each other, and call others out of their territory.The deans walked among the students, arranging their seats and mediating disputes.

Jacqueline and Pansy were crowded close to the door, Jacqueline looked around, and when she found that Hermione was only 8,9 or [-] people away, she took a few steps back again.

"Are you going to retreat outside the door?" Professor Snape's almost whispering voice came from Jacqueline's side. Jacqueline reluctantly took a step forward, and Professor Snape looked at him coldly. Glancing at her, he turned to pull Malfoy and Potter away.

"Quiet!" The four deans shouted, and the auditorium fell silent.

"Thanks," Tecross said, "now..."

He flicked his wand.An old-fashioned wooden circle immediately appeared on the ground in front of each student.

"The most important thing to remember when Apparating is the three D's!" Tecross said. "Focus, which is inside the wooden circle in front of you. Now please focus on your target."

Everyone was sneaking around to see if everyone was staring at the wooden circle, and then hurriedly did as they were asked.Jacqueline stared at the dusty circle of ground in her wooden circle, trying not to think about the possibility that Hermione, standing right in front of her, would be able to escape in time if Hermione suddenly pulled out her wand. how many.

"Step Two:" Tecrosse said, "resolve to occupy the space you want! Let the desire to get in overwhelm every smallest part of your being!"

"Step [-]:" Taikros shouted, "after I give the order... spin on the spot, let yourself enter the void state, and move calmly! Now listen to my password... one."

Concentrate, Jacqueline muttered softly, trying to focus all her attention on the wooden circle.

"two."

Determined, well, yes, I'm going to get into that circle, as ridiculous as it may seem.

"three!"

Turning calmly, Jacqueline spun on the spot. She felt a little dizzy. She stretched out her hands to try to maintain her balance, but the sound of people falling to the ground sounded one after another near her.

"It's okay, it's okay," Tecrosse said dryly, as if he didn't expect any better results, "Set the wooden circle and stand back to your original position..."

The second attempt was no better than the first, and the third was just as bad.It wasn't until the fourth time that there was a little irritation.There was a horrific scream, and everyone turned in horror to see Hufflepuff Susan Burns reeling in the wooden ring, her left leg still five feet away.

The deans gathered around her, and there was a loud bang, and after a puff of purple smoke cleared, Susan was seen sobbing, her leg put on, but she still looked terrified.

"Dissociation, the separation of a part of the body," said Vikki Tecrosse flatly, "occurs when the determination is not strong enough. You must always keep your focus on the target, don't panic, take your time... like this. "

Tecross stepped forward, arms outstretched, spun gracefully in place, and disappeared in a swirl of robes before reappearing at the back of the auditorium.

"Remember the three D's," he said. "One more time... one, two, three."

But an hour later, Susan's split was the most interesting event of the class.Tycross doesn't seem discouraged.He put on his cloak and said only: "See you next Saturday, gentlemen, and don't forget: Concentration, determination, equanimity."

With a flick of his wand, he erased the wooden circle, and walked out of the auditorium with Professor McGonagall.

"I think I'm doing pretty well," Pansy said, frowning, as they walked to the Slytherin lounge with Jacqueline. "At least my legs are still growing on my body."

"I think I kind of got it," Jacqueline said uncertainly. By the third time, Jacqueline had been able to get herself into the wooden ring, though she wasn't quite sure if she jumped in. of.

"So, Harry, are you still studying the Half-Blood Prince?" Hermione's voice sounded from both sides of them, Jacqueline and Pansy subconsciously looked over, not only them, but many sixth graders stopped This made the four deans very dissatisfied.

But Harry obviously didn't expect Hermione to ask such a question suddenly, and Jacqueline didn't hear Harry's answer until they disappeared down the stairs.

"She and Cormac separated," Pansy said as Jacqueline and Pansy silently descended the stairs leading to the Slytherin lounge, and walked down the cold corridor. I've been trying to ask Granger for an explanation."

Jacqueline clenched her jaw, but she didn't speak.The two of them did not speak again for the rest of the journey.

"Are you going to continue with your Apparition class?" Pansy asked again when they finally entered the break room.

"Yes, I think so." Jacqueline nodded.

"Then you..." Pan Xi seemed to want to continue asking.

"Pansy," Jacqueline interrupted Pansy directly, "I want to rest." She said and walked directly into her room.
