HP: Let professors walk towards the light

"Professor, start it!" Lena shouted hurriedly.

Snape once again used his "Invisible Strike" to distract Nagini, and then approached Reina's position.

Reyna took Snape's hand.

"Turn back!"

The feeling of weightlessness came again, but this time, the descent did not take as long as when it came. With the experience learned from the previous time, Reina successfully used the slowing spell to slow down the descent, and the two returned to the Forbidden Forest again.

Reina was lying on the ground, staring blankly at the full moon in the sky.

"That was a close call. Actually, I don't know why Nagini appeared there. No, maybe she just happened to be teleported there. We need to be more precise. I don't know when she was teleported there. Professor, that... Professor?" Reina sat up without hearing Snape's voice.

Snape leaned against the tree, holding his shoulders, with a look of exhaustion on his face.

"Professor? Are you okay?" Lena quickly stood up and ran to Snape.

Did I waste too much time and run out of mana? No, this state doesn't look like that.

"Professor..." Reina called Snape several times but he didn't respond. Reina reached out and shook his shoulder.

A warm touch came from her hand, and an ominous premonition came over her. Reina withdrew her hand, and the bright red liquid on her fingers foreshadowed misfortune.

“Professor…Professor!”

Snape suddenly fell down and Reina hurried to support him. In the dark environment, it was impossible to tell that Snape was injured because of his black robe. Reina put Snape down, untied his robe, and carefully cut open his shirt. There were two deep scratches on his shoulders, which were obviously left by the teeth of a beast.

The magic circle's suction also brought Nagini to Snape and Reina. When Snape was about to teleport away, the clever Nagini left a deep tooth mark on the back of Snape's shoulder. Snape, who had just finished fighting, was still in a state of rapid blood flow. Nagini's poison spread with the blood. The toxicity of the magical creatures under the blood curse can be imagined.

“No, no, no… Professor, don’t fall asleep, wake up…” Reina quickly poured everything in her bag onto the ground.

Antidote... Antidote...

Reina held back her tears, dug out the bottle of potion that could be used to cure snake venom from a pile of messy things, lifted Snape's head up, and poured the potion into his mouth.

Familiar scenes overlapped in Reina's mind. The potion flowed from the corner of her mouth. Her pale face was so dazzling. The only hope was that weak breath.

Nearly half of the only bottle of antidote has been wasted.

After thinking for a moment, Lena decisively put the remaining antidote in her mouth, gently blocked Snape's lips, poured the antidote into Snape's mouth, lifted Snape's chin, and slowly left until the potion in his mouth flowed down his throat.

Snape seemed to open his eyes slightly, but still did not respond.

Given the current situation and energy, it is impossible for Reina to take Snape directly back to Hogwarts. St. Mungo's... after all, it is still a bit conspicuous...

There was no other choice, so Reina quickly made a simple hand seal with her hands - that was the gesture for remotely summoning a house-elf.

"Bis, take us back to the manor."

As soon as Lena finished speaking, Piss appeared before her.

"Pith is willing to serve the young lady."

Then, Pisces placed his thin hands on Rena and Snape respectively, and in the blink of an eye, Rena teleported back to the manor.

"Piss, put him on my bed. Lor, wash him and pay attention to the wound on his shoulder. You two should take care of him. If he wakes up, let me know immediately. Juanjuan, come to the basement to help me later."

Reina arranged the work in a vigorous and decisive manner.

"Yes, miss." x3

At the same time, Reina also scribbled a letter and asked Obers to deliver it to Dumbledore. Even if she skipped classes without reason, it would not be a big deal, but Snape was not only a professor but also a dean. There was also Umbridge at Hogwarts who was always keeping an eye on their mistakes, so Dumbledore had to help them deal with it.

The potion books and chemical equipment in the manor are usually kept in the basement. Although the antidote that Reina carries with her can detoxify many snake venoms, it is not as omnipotent as fecal stones. It may be able to relieve the symptoms, but the most reliable way is to treat the disease according to its symptoms.

The back shoulders are not like the limbs that can be used to expel some toxins by bleeding. The only way is to slow down the blood flow in the body to reduce the rate of toxin diffusion, then analyze the harmful components in the Nagini toxin, break them down one by one, and finally adjust the ratio.

Reina used her wand to separate the remaining Snape's blood on her hands. The blood might dry but the poison would still remain on it. In the following time, she could only concentrate on preparing the antidote and try to make a near-perfect potion in the shortest time possible.

It was the first time for Reina to prepare a new potion, so she was still a little hesitant, but now, there was no other way, Snape only had her.

Time passed by bit by bit. Outside, the sky was already turning pale. Reina hadn't slept all night. Long hours of high-intensity work would only increase the error rate. In a place where no one could see, she had wiped away her tears countless times.

This feeling of watching life slowly slipping away in front of her eyes was so painful and tragic. She hadn't even started her plan yet, Potter hadn't even gone to look for the Horcruxes, and Voldemort hadn't even launched an attack...

Just because of her reckless behavior, all this happened...

Nagini is a viper, but she is more than just a viper. She is the product of the blood curse and retains human sensitivity and complexity. She is the most difficult snake to deal with and the most difficult Horcrux to destroy.

In the basement, Reina, who was forcing herself to go through round after round of adjustments, could not numb herself. She was overwhelmed by a deep sense of powerlessness and self-blame, and her trembling hands had destroyed many things.

“Miss…” Juanjuan grabbed the cloth on her body and mustered up the courage to speak to Reina, “Miss, please take a rest… Lor and the others are taking care of the guest… His condition has not worsened at the moment…”

Reina raised her head that was about to be buried in the crucible. Her dull eyes finally flashed. She asked in a hoarse voice, "Really?"

Juanjuan nodded vigorously and continued, "The medicine that the young lady just fed him has taken effect..."

"Great! Juanjuan, hurry up, let's try harder, the snake venom has been controlled, Severus is also trying hard to hold on, I need to be faster, it will be fine soon...it will be fine soon..." Her voice gradually became smaller, and she continued with her hands.

Paris polyphylla, Bidens pilosa, Commelina communis… crushed and boiled over and over again…

At this time, Obos flew in from the door, flew in front of Reina and landed gently, bringing a letter and a small package.

"Juanjuan, call and take a look." Lena ordered.

Juanjuan trotted over and took the letter and package from under Obers' feet. He carefully opened the package and found some liquid in the smallest reagent bottle. He showed it to Lena.

Reina took a quick look and asked again, "What is this? A letter."

Juanjuan picked up the letter again, and Lena noticed that the paper seemed to be the material commonly used in Hogwarts.

Juanjuan cleared her throat and began her peculiar reading: "Dear Hermalena: I am very sorry to receive such news. I have already made arrangements at school and everything is going well. In addition, the package enclosed with the letter contains Fox's tears, which will have a very good healing and detoxifying effect. I hope it will be helpful. I look forward to your safe return. Also, remember to find a good reason to go out - Albus Dumbledore. Miss, I have finished reading..."

Fox is... the tears of the Phoenix!

Lena slapped her forehead suddenly. She only remembered that Phoenix's tears could heal wounds, but forgot that it also had the function of detoxification, and the effect was particularly good. She underestimated the existence of Fox.

Reina quickly picked up the potion bottle and the letter and checked them again and again to confirm. The almost full bottle and Dumbledore's familiar handwriting gave Reina reassurance.

Reina held the magic wand, which turned into a sharp blade and was dipped in Nagini's poison. She slashed her arm hard, and blood immediately gushed out.

Juanjuan, a young elf who had not been at home for long, had never seen such a scene before. She was frightened by her master's actions and screamed, shouting for things like stopping the bleeding and bandaging the wound. Even Obos shouted anxiously.

Reina ignored them and waited quietly for the poison to slowly attack her nerves. Gradually, her vision began to blur and she felt dizzy.

Lena tried to maintain her consciousness and stabbed the wound again. The pain made her regain some clarity. She quickly opened the reagent bottle and poured a few drops of Phoenix Tears on the wound. Soon, the cracked skin and muscles began to heal slowly, and she could clearly feel the snake venom slowly dissipating.

After mixing half of the Phoenix's tears into her potion, Reina finally returned to her room with the potion and the remaining tears.

"Pease, Lor, how is he?"

"Miss, the guest is still a little weak and unconscious, and he didn't wake up during the whole process." Piss replied.

"Lor changed his dirty clothes and washed him clean, without touching the wound on his back. There was no other clothes in the manor, so Lor could only change the guest into clothes that the previous owner had not worn."

"Thank you for your hard work. Go and have a rest. Leave the rest to me."

Reina waved her hand and asked several house-elves to leave the room.

Reina unbuttoned her shirt, turned over Snape's body, exposed his back shoulder, and dripped Phoenix Tears on the wound that had not yet completely healed. This time, the wound healed exceptionally quickly, and the skin on the back shoulder was still smooth and flat.

After tidying up Snape's clothes, Rena fed him the special antidote again. After everything was done, Rena sat by the bed, quietly observing Snape's condition, waiting for him to wake up.

The sun has risen and a new day has begun...

When Snape slowly woke up, Reina had already fallen asleep on her stomach, but the noise of Snape getting up woke Reina, who was sleeping very lightly, up quickly.

Facing the slightly red face, Reina called out softly, "Professor?"

"Are you dead too? You still have some conscience and come to Merlin's place to accompany me." Snape said expressionlessly.

Speak...

Reina suddenly perked up, and in a moment of excitement, she rushed towards Snape, wrapped her arms around his neck, and buried her head in his shoulder.

"That's great, that's great... You woke up, that's really great..."

Snape was a little confused by this sudden action. He reached out and tried to pry Rena's arms open, but the hot and wet touch on his shoulder made him inexplicably give up the idea. He didn't hug Rena back, but he didn't push her away either. He just let her hug him like that.

-

After venting her emotions, Reina realized that her posture was a bit awkward and slowly let go of her hand.

She looked at Snape and asked sheepishly, "Professor, how do you feel now?"

"Average, at least not so bad that I don't want to see snakes again in my life, but not so good that I need to take a year's paid leave."

Reina slowly tilted her head in confusion.

Snape pursed his lips and suddenly asked, "The potion you brewed?"

"Yes..." Reina nodded, "With the addition of Phoenix Tears."

"That's really a waste of resources. How much did you add?" Snape frowned.

Reina showed him the bottle and said, "Half bottle."

"Half a bottle?"

"There's still half a bottle on your shoulder."

"I think I should withdraw my question to you. Also, are you trying to destroy my liver by taking such an excessive amount of Oldenlandia diffusa? Tallos, I suggest you never consider the pharmacist profession and do good deeds." Snape looked at Lena with some disgust.

"You actually wasted such precious Phoenix tears. I really don't know how you learned potions..."

"Nothing was wasted--" Reyna interrupted Snape.

"What?" Snape was a little surprised.

"As long as you are well and awake, then it won't be a waste. If not, I will go and tie up Fox."

"Wait, wait, Talros..."

"I'm sorry, Professor. I got you into trouble last night. I just wanted to try out my new magic and didn't expect to appear in the forest where Nagini is. It's all my fault that the professor got hurt so badly..."

"Nagini... is the name of the snake? What's going on?" asked Snape.

"Nagini is a snake created by a blood curse, and I happen to know it."

"Blood Curse... No wonder it's so much harder to deal with than ordinary snake-like magical animals. It can even dodge my attacks. I never thought that one day I would be defeated by a snake. I really have to thank you for this."

Reina lowered her head and looked at the quilt without saying anything.

Snape couldn't help but sighed softly, then said slowly: "But your potion is still remarkable. In addition to the Phoenix Tears, it can still save a person."

"I'm sorry...I'm really sorry..."

Reina thought of ten thousand possible events and took all the belongings she could take with her, but she never thought of taking Snape with her.

What if they didn't find all the alchemy tools in time? What if she teleported a little slower? What if Nagini had become Voldemort's Horcrux?

The consequences would be unimaginable.
