People always say that the place with Dumbledore is the safest place in the world, because even the mysterious man has an inexplicable fear of him, even if the Death Eaters conspired to attack Hogsmeade this time, Everyone also believed that the mysterious man would not attack Hogwarts.

In fact, it is also true. Dumbledore arrived in time that day, and many officials from the Ministry of Magic arrived in time. Although Hogsmeade suffered heavy losses, there was not much follow-up.

But this does not mean that the Ministry of Magic has no countermeasures. They have been coming to people in the past few days after the incident. Even the Minister of Magic at the time came once to persuade Dumbledore to strengthen the defense of the castle, and they are willing to provide better protection. Aohu, after being rejected by Dumbledore once, they still didn't give up, and continued to bombard Dumbledore again, and finally even used the means of coercion.

Since the Ministry of Magic really considered the safety of the students, Dumbledore really didn't refuse this time.

In the next few days, there was another battle of public opinion. Many media said that they had received letters from many parents, and they kept telling the students to go home immediately. Such public opinion was confused under the deliberate instigation of some people. Many people, and Hogwarts' owl time, also began to baptize waves of letters.

However, the wind direction of public opinion is always deliberately guided by someone. When you grab a point that everyone can accept and start to circle around this point—that is, when you keep using various examples to describe the same thing , Many people will be misled by this brainwashing method of operation, and even from opposing to agreeing or vice versa, it is only a matter of minutes for passers-by to follow the same thing.

But one advantage of such public opinion is that no one has the same way of thinking, so when you think about the problem from this aspect, while others think about the problem from another aspect, a fight arises spontaneously—and the other The essence is just that the three views are different, and you can't love each other. I don't agree with you, and you don't agree with me, that's all.

As a result, some people said that they should leave Hogwarts quickly, but sensible parents wrote to say that Hogsmeade was just the first step of these thugs' temptation. If they took all the children back now, there would be no harm In the area under the supervision of the school, it is quite normal for something to happen. Perhaps the Death Eaters are waiting for the Hogwarts students to get off at King's Cross Station...

Also, everyone can see that Dumbledore came back at the last moment that day, turned the tide and destroyed the conspiracy of the Death Eaters. This also shows from another aspect that Dumbledore is still very deterrent. The safest place in the world.

And more people believed that Dumbledore would do everything in his power to protect these students.

At this moment, public opinion began to polarize, and even the students in the castle became polarized.

Things didn't go too well actually, because it happened on Hogsmeade weekend, which is apparently the closest place to Hogwarts.In fact, the people from the Ministry of Magic didn't find their own reasons at all, and didn't even use too many measures to punish them. They sent Oro to hunt them down, but they only captured a few people, and the others couldn't be found at all.Things were complicated by the involvement of the Ministry of Magic.

Because people in the school were eager to move, Dumbledore had to hold a small meeting with everyone at breakfast that day, and warned all the students to stay calm.

"Everyone, this is an eventful time. I believe that everyone here will not agree with what they have done. They have hurt many innocent people and even attacked women and children. No matter what their motives are, they have disturbed The normal order in the wizarding world has been disrupted. In fact, what I want to say today is that many of our classmates have experienced the thrilling encounter that day in Hogsmeade, and none of us died. This is already a blessing among misfortunes. But now the result is very obvious, have you seen it? Regardless of destroying everything that Hogsmeade has painstakingly managed, they even deliberately started trying to shake Hogwarts by public opinion. Maybe they have more conspiracies waiting. We, if we lose our footing, we can only let the enemy succeed. Now I tell everyone here that I will not let them succeed."

Probably because of what Dumbledore said, it really had the effect of stabilizing the morale of the army. In the next few days, the number of letters decreased significantly, and many of them were to see if their children were doing well.

Regardless of whether other people admit it or not, in fact Hogwarts is a natural safe haven, no matter how stormy or even a stormy typhoon is outside, it can keep you safe inside.

These are indeed difficult times, especially when the smoke is everywhere and everyone is in danger.

During the whole month of November, the professors and students were indeed not at peace.

For example, James and Sirius were very upset recently. They accidentally exposed four secret passages in order to save people, so these four secret passages were watched by McGonagall with armor and portraits after that day. After the matter was over, Filch began to block these secret passages.As a result, the secret passages that James and Sirius found with great difficulty were destroyed. Fortunately, although they exposed four, the other three are still there. It's just that Hogsmeade's own environment is not very good now, and it will take time to restore it. Yes, so it is impossible for them to go even if they want to.

What was even more frustrating was for the Slytherins, because their attack was exposed inexplicably, and others rushed to fight back in time. Now the mysterious people are looking for the source of the leak, or they are looking for spies among them.

Of course, the Slytherins who participated dared not say anything. They didn't know too much about the plan themselves, but because the work was not reliable, they were also worried that they would accidentally leak these things out, so they participated in the plan The students cover each other in various ways.In fact, there were no spies among them, for it was not long before they received word from their families that the Dark Arts had found a teller.

But it was little Snape who was most disturbed.

Because someone doesn't mean anything, he didn't take the initiative to contact the boy at all, and even the letters sent by the boy directly seemed to disappear without a word.

And after little Snape tried several times and got the same answer, little Snape felt a little heavy every day, and his face became darker and darker, no one dared to provoke her.

But no one knew what was going on, including his roommate.

☆☆☆

When Christmas is approaching, white snowflakes are falling in the sky one after another, and it is getting bigger and bigger. This is not the first snow this year, but it is the first time that the temperature of Hogwarts It has fallen to the point where no one dares to just go out of the castle, many outdoor activities have to be canceled, and even the Hogwarts express for students who send applications home at Christmas may be postponed because of this blizzard, such The weather has lasted for several days, and most of the students who applied to leave school are waiting and watching.

It seems that even Merlin is telling them that they should stay instead of leaving casually. In fact, some people were worried that the Death Eaters could attack Hogsmeade, so the train gradually leaving Hogwarts was attacked on the way. The possibility of an attack is probably not that small.

Such heavy snow makes many students discouraged, but many people still insist on going home, most of them are Slytherin, the annual Christmas family and family gatherings are always indispensable, even if this year has entered the This stage of gunpowder still didn't have much impact on them.

Lily suddenly received a text message from Snape one night, which even made her a little unbelievable—the act of tearing faces between Gryffindor and Slytherin began to escalate, and she and Snape hadn't even started their relationship yet. Before the first complete quarrel, the correspondence between the two always used their own codes, although there were not many, but she believed that no one would write such a letter to her like little Snape—only little Snape Pu had not written to her for quite some time, which gave Lily the feeling that something might be wrong with the boy.

Lily wrapped herself completely in a ball before sneaking to the agreed place with Snape. When she arrived, Snape didn't come. Lily was already uneasy and waited for Snape for 15 consecutive days. After a few minutes, she became more and more uneasy.

just when lily was thinking

The footsteps of "da da da" came from behind, Lily turned around, but saw a magical scene——

Little Snape was holding a milky white unicorn a little longer than his body with golden horns in his arms. His steps moved quickly, but he looked quite relaxed.

"Merlin!" Lily couldn't help but exclaimed, as soon as she opened her mouth, a freezing air rushed into her mouth, she subconsciously closed her mouth, but her eyes were still wide open.

How can it be?Is this a joke, or is it a joke?

The little unicorn nestled in little Snape's arms obediently. From time to time, it scratched the little Snape's cheek with its little hoof, and then continued to rub against the boy's arms. Such a friendly and docile little unicorn Even Lily, who has only touched a little unicorn with her hands, has never seen it before.

She didn't even hold the little unicorn in her arms! ! !How did the boy do it? !

Little Snape pointed to the direction, implying that Lily walked forward together, and the two came to a place with huge stone walls and stone benches. Windproof, with a place to sit.What's worse is that there is no sunlight at this point in time, so I still feel the coldness after bursts.

"How do you..."

"Sorry, I'm late."

Little Snape wanted to put the little unicorn down, but obviously our little prince didn't want it at all. Just when little Snape wanted to stuff it into the snow, the little unicorn struggled to hug it, and Pulling on little Snape's cloak almost scratched the fluff off it. Finally, when little Snape held it tightly in his arms, the little prince calmed down. After all this, the little prince The unicorn softened even more, it was so pitiful that no one could bear to look at it.

"I..." Lily's beautiful green eyes looked at the malicious and cute little unicorn in front of her without blinking, and she couldn't bear to move away, "Can I pet it?"

"You have to ask it." Little Snape changed the movement of his arm so that the little unicorn looked at Lily, and at this moment, the little unicorn suddenly stretched it out towards Lily. He got a little hoof and shook it friendly.

Lily looked at the fluffy little unicorn flattered, pulled its little hoof in surprise, and gently smoothed the prince's fur with the other hand, "Merlin, you are so good, how did you do it? Little unicorn The beast is not close to boys at all, and has a very violent temper." The docile and almost extinct little unicorn in front of me is completely different from the one described in the book. When you touch it, it still looks happy and shakes. He was so shaken that he couldn't even hug little Snape.

Probably because he realized that his movements were too big, the little unicorn obediently shrank back into little Snape's arms, this time it didn't mess around, but started to rub against little Snape.

"It's so nice to you," Lily admired, but what was little Snape trying to do with it?

"It's called the Prince," said little Snape softly.

"It has a name?" But that's beside the point. "Prince? It's a lovely name, but what's going on? Did you come late because you were looking for it?"

Looking at Lily with a question mark on her face, Snape nodded, "It can be said that I haven't looked for it for a long time. The snow has been so heavy these days, so I was worried about it, so I ran to have a look at it. It just now You want to come back with me, so..."

"Prince? Does this have anything to do with Harry?"

"Harry and I rescued the prince from abroad before. We brought him back from abroad. When he came back, Harry insisted on sending him to the Forbidden Forest. Harry was right. The Prince lives very well in the Forbidden Forest. ’ explained Little Snape.

"Sounds amazing," Lily couldn't help exclaiming, "so the little unicorn who took Harry to find you and James is the prince?" The girl's hand gently scratched the little unicorn's chin, The soft touch makes people want to put it down, and the little unicorn obviously likes this feeling too, and took the initiative to lie down in the direction of Lily.

Little Snape absent-mindedly made a gesture of holding the little unicorn. The prince and they sent it back to the Forbidden Forest. It would have grown up a bit and gained a little weight. Little Snape would feel comfortable holding it. Not too strenuous.

"So what did you come to me for?" Surely not for the little unicorn?The two were just chatting just now. The arrival of the little unicorn made Lily almost forget the fact that it was Snape who took the initiative to ask her to come. It's time to get down to business.

"Are you going home for Christmas?"

Lily looked at the sky that was always covered with dark clouds, "Actually, I don't plan to go back, what about you?"

"I don't know." Little Snape said in a deep voice.

I don't know if it felt the master's inexplicable depression. The little unicorn, which was being scratched comfortably by Lily, suddenly broke away from Lily's hand, turned its little head and rubbed against Snape's chest. How well-behaved.

Lily tried not to be disturbed by this little thing, "Why? Did something happen?"

"We met the other day..."

Lily opened her mouth because of it, but quickly shut it again: "You're talking about the day Hogsmeade was attacked."

"Yes." Little Snape said softly, "That was the day."

"And then?" Although the impact of that incident was not good, it has long passed. What else did Snape want to say?

Little Snape suddenly raised his head, muttered for a while, and finally said: "He told me then that he would send me a letter."

Lily suddenly realized: "So you need to find someone to talk to."

Little Snape acquiesced to this fact.

"what are you worried about?"

Little Snape raised his head, just as the little unicorn also raised his head. Both the man and the beast had their faces paralyzed.

"You know what? Bringing the prince was a mistake, it's so distracting," Lily murmured.

Little Snape obviously ignored the inexplicable nympho face of the red-haired girl, just gently rubbed the little unicorn's head, and whispered: "He has been doing some very dangerous things, such as Hogsmeade this time. You didn't mention it to anyone, did you get the news from me?"

"Of course not," Lily said angrily. "I'm not that stupid. I know that Harry even changed his name and came to teach at Hogwarts. There must be some plan. If this time has something to do with his plan, then I must not expose it."

"En." Little Snape nodded indiscriminately, obviously not very interested in what the girl said. "You were not there that day. I rescued an injured Hufflepuff. If Harry wasn't there, this person would have died,"

Lily frowned and said, "What the hell is Harry doing now?"

"I don't know," said little Snape, pursing his lips, "but if he continues like that, I'm afraid he'll..." The last words were suddenly in Little Snape's mouth, and he didn't say them, but Lily did She felt a feeling of emptiness all over her body for a while, as if something was being pulled away from her body, especially the feeling of uneasiness.

Listening to little Snape's words, Lily suddenly remembered what Harry said to her that day, she gritted her teeth, but her brain began to struggle.There were two villains fighting, one told her to tell Snape right away, while the other kept reminding him that what Harry said was true and she must never tell Snape what Harry said .

She and Harry had known little Snape for about the same length of time, perhaps more time between Harry and little Snape, but there were a few years when Harry was away, although she didn't have much time to spend with the boy, But they did grow up together, so she knew a lot of things that the young man didn't, so it was neutralized, obviously the two of them knew little about Snape just about the same.

She couldn't agree more with what Harry said, if the boy was really sure he knew what Harry was up to

But why is the boy willing to talk to her today?Is it to test whether she knows Harry's situation?

—or maybe he just wanted someone to talk to.

"In fact, he really hasn't written to me for a while, and he didn't even reply to my text message asking him whether to go back."

"He'll be fine," though Lily said, with a lingering sense of worry, "you know how strong he is."

"I don't know," said little Snape. "Harry's not in good health. It's always been. If he continues like this, I'm worried..." He paused, then continued, "And, I Can't find him again."

So then... Lily forced herself to stare at the little unicorn before Harry told her that if anything happened to him, he had to hold the boy and keep him out of the way.

Speaking of it, "I also sent him a letter, but he didn't reply to me."

"He told me that day that he would definitely contact me, but if there is no news after so long..."

"It's okay." Lily patted Snape on the shoulder. "Maybe he was just busy, or maybe the situation didn't allow it, and then he forgot about it."

Lily's words made little Snape's face even uglier, because if Lily's words were true, it could only mean one thing, Harry's was more serious.

"I have to go back and find him." Little Snape stood up suddenly, but he forgot that he had a little unicorn in his arms. Although it wasn't too big, it still had a lot of weight, which made him almost fall down. sat on a rock.

"Don't get excited," Lily said hastily, "Maybe he's not in Cokeworth, you must get his reply, right?"

"Even if Harry isn't here, I have to go back, it's my home and Harry's."

Lily suddenly felt that when little Snape said "Harry and I's home", there was a special touch in his voice. It was a kind of belief, an unshakable belief.

It is also a terrible obsession.

Lily felt that such a strange feeling could not be described in words. She had long been unable to figure out what little Snape was thinking, and the relationship between the boy and Harry was not like an ordinary father-son relationship. This feeling was particularly subtle...

—Is this a little bit more than that?

"But the train might be delayed, right?" Lily thought for a while, "Or, as the legend goes, the train might be attacked by Death Eaters."

"I have the ability to protect myself. In addition," said Snape, "if the train is delayed, it will disrupt the plans of the Death Eaters, and this is nothing to worry about, so there is no need to worry too much."

—So what exactly did Snape come to her to say?Did he show her the little unicorn, or did he strengthen his determination to go home and find Harry.

The little unicorn suddenly stretched out its little hoof, tapped little Snape, and then tapped Lily, once again making Lily's attention completely fall on the little prince.

"It's so cute, how could it be so cute, why didn't I save it," Lily lamented, "It's so cold outside..."

"It's not afraid of the cold." Little Snape said without much sympathy.

The little unicorn stretched its hooves in protest. It is really afraid of the cold, so it must be hugged!

The author has something to say: Daha is not the one who leaked the secret, don’t worry~(≧▽≦)/~

The little prince is out again to show off his cuteness. On the 12th, he will go to Xiamen to play. He is going to eat and eat while eating... There is no other itinerary haha
