[HP] Secret Love Diary

Snape didn't follow me back to school.

"Aren't you going back?" I couldn't help asking before I entered the fireplace.

"Now? Dumbledore wouldn't want me at school." His look told me it was a stupid question.

Think of the black-faced Severus Death Eater Snape surrounded by a group of celebrating students, oh, probably surrounded by all of us Slytherin "bad guys", I immediately felt that it was a wise decision for him not to go back.

Maybe I should put my thick skin on here too...

The dean's office was unexpectedly peaceful, and there was no noise outside.I walked carefully down the corridor back to the lounge, the cellar was so quiet that I didn't encounter a single ghost.

The doubts in my heart were quickly answered when I saw the announcement in the lounge: "In order to celebrate the defeat of the mysterious man, Hogwarts school will be closed for one month. Please enjoy this moment of celebration for wizards all over the world. Principal: Dumbledore profitable"

... I might as well have been shameless and had come to Snape's house.

But now it was too late to think about it, so I simply packed my luggage and dragged my suitcase to find the Headmaster—the Hogwarts Express could not go to France, and I had to rely on his fireplace to get home.

"The other students have already left school by the eight o'clock train in the morning, Miss Rose." Dumbledore looked at me through the half-moon glasses, and there was no escape from my wise eyes.

"I got up late, sorry." I lied without changing my face, since Annabelle wasn't there anyway, he couldn't verify the authenticity of my words.

He didn't answer, just continued to look at me, as if waiting for me to confess myself.

I quickly recalled the loopholes in the above sentence. It is unreasonable for a lie of this level to be seen through at a glance, unless he can use Desperation.If it is not the problem of the conversation just now, there is only one possibility——

The Floo system of Hogwarts, in this special period, maybe the headmaster will have records or something like that?

I can't say what the penalty for leaving school late at night would be, but since I didn't technically "sleep" off campus, the penalty shouldn't be too severe.

But the question is, do I dare to take the risk now?

After quickly weighing the pros and cons, between being punished and taking the initiative to confess, I decided to confess: "Sorry, I lied to you just now, but I was not in the dormitory this morning."

"Professor Snape saved my friend Annabelle from the Death Eaters. He came to inform me this morning to help, but something happened on the way, so I came back first." I suddenly remembered that the situation in front of me This is one of the most prominent figures in the White Wizard. If the headmaster helped Snape speak, his punishment would be much lighter.

I began to change the focus without any trace: "Professor Snape has cared for students very much since the beginning of school. Even though Annabelle was not his favorite, he still rescued her from the hands of Death Eaters recklessly. Deng Principal Bullido, I beg you to protect this good Hogwarts professor in future courts."

It turns out that I can also say flattery, shaking, why do I feel that the Snape I described and the Snape in reality are completely two people...

"Thank you for your frankness," said Dumbledore with an expected look, "So is Miss Rose interested in being a witness at the trial? I think Professor Snape will be very happy that you are willing to testify for him."

It's okay to be a witness... It's just that the conversation is developing a little faster, isn't it?

"I'll be there, too," he added. "You don't have to worry."

After receiving the personal assurance from Headmaster Dumbledore, I readily agreed.

——*——*——

In the first few days of the holiday, the first thing I did when I woke up was to check the mailbox.The Daily Prophet was often able to give the official perspective of the British Ministry of Magic, while the few French tabloids my father subscribed to provided a lot of scraps and gossip.

The one that astonished me the most was the imprisonment of Sirius Black.

The man who firmly scolded Snape as a Death Eater at the beginning was imprisoned in Azkaban for murdering the Potters and making Muggle terrorist attacks. He didn't even have a chance to defend himself in court.

I couldn't help but worry about Snape's future.He was more likely to be believed to be a heinous Death Eater than Blake of Gryffindor, even though he had saved Annabelle - how could he explain his presence at Malfoy Manor then?

Then I got a letter from Dumbledore setting out the date of the trial and the testimony to be prepared.I didn't know what he meant by "will be there" until I saw the byline - Chief Wizard Dumbledore.

I can't help but wonder how much school holidays have to do with the principal's extra money.

Time passed quickly, and on the day of the trial, I packed up early, greeted my parents (using the excuse of going to a classmate's house, of course), and was teleported all the way to the Ministry of Magic by the Floo system.

There was already a witch in a purple robe waiting by the fireplace: "Amelia Bones, Director of Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore asked me to take you there."

I am very uncomfortable with this kind of cold official tone, but I don't dare to speak.I could only silently follow behind her and listen to her talk about the judicial process.

"Miss Rose, please keep quiet until the judge calls your name later in court."

"Ok."

"Avoid expressive words when answering questions."

"OK……"

"At the judge..."

I wasn't too nervous at first, but after her nagging, when I finally arrived at the gate of the court, I felt a little limp...

Snape was already sitting on the trial bench with a calm expression on his face, and I suddenly felt like I had spent all my troubles in vain a few days ago.The interrogation seats were already full, and there was a purple color in front of them.He glanced over at me slightly before I stepped on the witness stand, Dumbledore probably told him earlier, and he didn't look surprised at all.

At the beginning of the trial, one of the interrogators read the statement of the case for a long time, including a series of terms that I have never heard of, such as the crime of intentional injury, the crime of harming Muggles, and the crime of creating terror. All mixed together, colliding in the sky...

"Is this Miss Lily Rose here?"

"Yes." When my name was called suddenly, I stood up immediately.

"Have you volunteered to give evidence against Severus Snape, and certify that everything you say is true?"

"Yes." I swallowed, Snape had been looking at me since the beginning.I should have written a letter to him myself before, and came here as a witness in a feverish manner. What if he doesn't want others to know that I have a relationship with him?

But it's too late to think about it now, I cleared my messy thoughts and started to concentrate on dealing with the problem.

"Please state your testimony."

"I certify that Mr. Snape is innocent. On the night of October 1981, 10, he rescued Annabel Ryan from a brutal Death Eater party, and he notified me immediately, and I Let's do her postmortem together."

"What is your relationship with Miss Ryan?"

"We were roommates and best friends at Hogwarts."

"Mr. Snape, why did you rescue Miss Ryan?" The interrogator turned to Snape, and the first question made me nervous.

About the Unbreakable Curse, I didn't talk to Dumbledore, not just now.Although I don't think the court will be able to detect the pre-improved ancient spells, the existence of this contract is undoubtedly detrimental to the trial.

He was silent for a few seconds, and after almost a century for me, who was dying of nervousness, he finally spoke.

"She is my student."

There was a moment of silence in the courtroom, and then, without knowing who started it, everyone present gradually began to applaud enthusiastically.There were a few shouts of "Set him free" in the middle, and it took Dumbledore a few gavels to bring the situation under control.

I immediately became less nervous, and even felt that even if everyone were asked to show their hands to vote for the conclusion, they would release Snape in court.

Next is the testimony of Dumbledore. It seems that there is no law that stipulates that being the chief wizard cannot be a witness. He narrates how Snape joined the Order of the Phoenix and how he became a spy in order to defeat the dark forces of the mysterious man.There will not be any magician in this world who is more authoritative than the headmaster of Hogwarts. The trial has confirmed that Snape is not guilty by a majority, and he will be freed immediately.

I stood on the witness stand, wishing I could rush up and give him a hug right now.

Walking at the end of the officials, I managed to squeeze out of the crowd, and saw Snape standing on the side of the corridor.He seemed to be waiting for someone, and when he saw me passing by, he nodded to me.

"Professor Snape, congratulations!" This was probably the first good news after Anna's disappearance, and I grinned heartily at him.

"Thank you," he said conservatively, "Is it convenient for you now? I have something to say."

The author has something to say: I just found out that an accident at home might have to sell the house to save the tuition fees... I think it’s so bloody, this kind of thing can’t happen, it’s unscientific, but I’m still looking at schools that give scholarships (⊙o ⊙), the science majors are the easiest to apply for the award, just kneel when you see it... Sorry for the late update, I have been discussing with my friends about the way out. The focus of this chapter is not these... Cough, in fact, the focus of this chapter has been moved to the next chapter. It is rare for me to delay the plot == This is an update on the 25th, and there is still more
