HP: Let professors walk towards the light

"You've been scolding me for an hour, you should just take a rest." Lena made a gesture of covering her ears.

Snape looked at her coldly.

Reina took out all the alchemical props she found, six, but still missing one. There was such a big forest and no one knew where it fell. It was her first time to experience it personally, and it was really a bad start. She also brought Snape with her.

Life is not easy, Lena sighed.

Snape on the side didn't say anything else, just sat quietly, looking ahead.

Looking at Snape's appearance, Reina inexplicably recalled how the professor spent the countless nights after losing Lily. Loneliness? Pain? Self-blame? Guilt?

Looking at Potter's face which is exactly the same as James' but with a pair of Lily's eyes, who is the first person that the professor thinks of?

No one could defeat Lily in the professor's heart. His heart was filled with those memories, and she, Hermalena, was just an ordinary student. It was ridiculous that she even wanted to be looked at differently by the professor.

Did that illusion really dig out the darkest side of himself? He tried to get the professor's attention by killing Lily? But in the end, he would only get the professor's hatred...

What if I cast Obliviate on the professor and then take him abroad? I'd find a place where no one could find me and start a new life with him, a life without Lily and Potter. Or I could just escape to the Muggle world...

"Professor, will you continue to teach at Hogwarts in the future?" Reina took the initiative to start a conversation.

Snape looked at her and said slowly, "Maybe."

"Have you ever thought about finding another job? It seems like the professor's job at Hogwarts is pretty hard, with so much work to do every day."

"Yes, but there are some troublesome students who are not smart enough to show sympathy for teachers. They always give their old professor extra work. It is indeed hard work."

Who this sentence refers to? You can tell without thinking by considering the current situation.

"I didn't mean to cause you any trouble..."

"If secretly learning the dark arts, going out at night every now and then, trespassing into the forbidden forest, harming magical creatures in the forbidden forest, and fiddling with dangerous formations are not considered troublesome, then my job shouldn't be that hard."

Reina was speechless again. Every time she brought up the topic, it would always end with Snape scolding her in a sarcastic tone.

"I just...have a wide range of interests..."

It’s obvious that you violated a lot of school rules when you were studying.

Just as he was thinking about it, Snape suddenly stood up, raised his wand and quickly fired a spell in the direction of Rena. The magical light almost brushed past Rena's head.

While Rena was still in shock, thinking that the professor finally couldn't bear it anymore and started to attack her, Snape waved his wand again and brought Rena to his side. He raised his wand, pointed at the darkness, and protected Rena behind his back with one hand.

For a moment, there was silence all around, with only the occasional rustling sound coming from where Lena had just sat.

Reina held her wand forward, trying to use the light to see ahead, when suddenly, a pair of huge red eyes appeared in the darkness.

The hissing sound unique to snakes completely broke the silence.

The snake crawled out and revealed itself in front of the two men.

This size, pattern...

The appearance of Nagini appeared in Reina's mind. Without hesitation, Reina decisively fired a "Split into Pieces" forward and quickly pulled Snape away.

"run!"

Where exactly is this place? Why is Nagini here?

Reina's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she cast a spell behind her.

Running away was not an option at all. There was no way they could outrun such a huge snake. Rena grabbed Snape's hand and without saying a word, Apparated with Snape to where they landed. Although it was not far, it was good to be able to keep some distance.

Damn, where the hell is that other alchemy item?

"What is that? Do you know it?" Snape grabbed Rena's shoulder with one hand, "If I remember correctly, you haven't learned Apparition yet."

"There's no time to explain. The snake will find this place soon. We have to find the last alchemical item and go back!" Lena said anxiously.

"When you go back, you'd better tell me everything clearly." Snape looked at her deeply.

However, they had to face the reality that they had already searched thoroughly for this area, but the result was that the last alchemical item did not exist.

Not long after, Nagini came to the door again.

The good news is that it brings the last alchemical item.

The bad news is that the chain of the alchemical tool was entangled in Nagini's body.

"Merlin's beard, must it be so tragic?" For the first time, Reina felt that fate was playing tricks on her.

The flying spell was useless, as Nagini was staring at the two foreign intruders hungrily.

"Are you sure it's yours?" Snape asked.

"If I weren't blind," said Reina.

"Then you'd better pray that your eyes are still intact." Snape took two steps forward, standing in front of Reina and blocking Nagini.

"Go prepare your magic circle. I'll take care of the snake."

"No! It's...it's dangerous..."

"Do you want to teach me how to set up a magic circle on the spot? If you can handle it, then I can consider learning it." Snape stopped Rena with his hand and pushed her back.

Reina looked at Snape's back, gritted her teeth, turned around and started fiddling with the magic circle.

Nagini seemed to sense the two people's thoughts and began to attack Snape, and even wanted to jump over Snape and pounce on Lena, but was blocked by Snape.

Nagini quickly changed its attack method. It dodged Snape's spell and started to fight with him.

Snape was not in a panic. He focused on fending off Nagini's attack while casting the spell as much as possible on the chain of the alchemical tool.

Here, Reina's magic circle was almost ready, with only the last one left.

"I'm ready, Professor!" Rena shouted at Snape.

"Invisible Sharpness!" Snape immediately cast several spells, the light of the spells flew towards Nagini like a sharp blade. Nagini could not dodge in time and was hit by several spells, but the snake's scales protected it well, but the alchemical props were successfully cut open.

"Alchemy tool is flying here!" Reina immediately used the flying spell to take back the alchemical tool, put it where it belonged, and began to chant the return spell.
