HP: Let professors walk towards the light

Snape walked down the stairs and slowly approached Reyna.

"Sorry, I have to go now."

For some reason, Reina suddenly felt a little nervous. Looking at Snape's approaching footsteps, Reina raised her leg and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, Snape grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

Reina looked up at Snape in shock, and their eyes met. Reina's wizard hat fell on the stairs because of her large movement.

"What are you doing?" Rena frowned and felt a little flustered for a moment, but when she saw that Snape did not recognize her identity, she forced herself to calm down and questioned Snape in a cold voice about his slightly impolite behavior.

Snape stared at Reina deeply and slowly loosened his hand.

"Have we met somewhere?"

Reina took a step back and distanced herself from him, and said, "This gentleman's chatting skills are inevitably a bit poor. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid my answer will disappoint you."

Snape's face darkened, and just as he was about to say something, Dumbledore's voice came from above.

"Severus."

Snape turned sideways and looked at him. Dumbledore walked down with a smile on his face and glanced in the direction of Lena.

"Excuse me for interrupting your conversation, Severus, I have something else I want to discuss with you."

Snape looked hesitant and was wondering about the timing of Dumbledore's appearance. Lena continued along with Dumbledore's words: "Since you have important things to do, let's not waste time. So, sir, can I leave now?"

?

Inside Malfoy Manor.

Reina has lived here for two weeks, and there has been no movement from either side. This is what makes Reina most uncomfortable. Dumbledore's side is ok, but even Voldemort is surprisingly quiet. She thought that Voldemort would be more relaxed after what he said before, but in fact he was not.

Yesterday, she met Snape for the first time at Malfoy Manor. With Voldemort's introduction, the two of them officially "knew" each other as Death Eaters.

Today, when Lena was about to go downstairs, she ran into Snape.

"May I ask you why you are here? From what I understand, someone should be preparing her thesis." Snape looked at Rena seriously, with a hint of reprimand in his tone.

"I've been here for a while, but this doesn't seem to have any business with you, does it, Professor Snape?" Reina glanced at him casually.

"Really? It seems that you really like the dark arts to the extreme. I didn't expect that you would become a Death Eater. What do you think you can do? If you don't have that ability, I advise you not to come out and attract attention." Snape said sarcastically.

"I won't bother you any more. I have already sent the paper to the academic association and the newspaper. Don't worry, your name is on the advisory professor list."

"It seems you still know that I am your professor, Tallos!"

"You also know that I am Talros, professor. I am trying to find a way out for my family. Don't forget your position. Since we are all followers of the master, in other words, it is better for you to do your part here." Rena passed Snape and was about to go down.

"Have you been threatened?" Snape lowered his voice and asked softly as Rena passed by.

Reina paused, feeling uncomfortable as if someone grabbed her chest. Even though the reality was in front of Snape, he was still making excuses for himself. Didn't he want to believe that he came here voluntarily?

"If you have any trouble, I can help you. After school starts, he won't be able to get into Hogwarts, and Dumbledore..."

"Severus Snape, I think Hogwarts may not be able to teach me anything, so I won't bother you. Besides, the master is teaching me the dark arts recently - what, do you want the master to give me to you? If that's the case, then go and ask for instructions. I look forward to it. After all, Potions is really interesting. What do you think, Severus?"

Reina turned her head to look at Snape. She had to interrupt Snape and looked at him with eyes full of teasing and disdain. After hearing these words, Snape's expression completely froze. Through his eyes, Reina saw her appearance at this moment, and even she felt disgusted.

"Now you have made progress. Although you didn't have much ability, you have become more courageous. You even dared to talk to me like this. I really underestimated you." Snape turned around and grabbed Rena's shoulders.

"Even if you get Voldemort's approval, what can you do? With your little tricks, how long can you fight here? A year? Two years? Or... half a month? Even if I'm not your professor, your status among the Death Eaters can never be compared to mine. You'd better be more respectful, otherwise you won't know how you died."

Snape threatened Reina word by word, his grip getting stronger and stronger, then he suddenly let go, snorted coldly, threw his robes around, and went up to the third floor.

"It's really... an unpleasant meeting..." Reina rubbed her shoulders and looked at Snape who disappeared around the corner of the stairs, muttering softly, but she was actually relieved in her heart. She didn't know how Voldemort controlled the entire Malfoy Manor, but based on yesterday's deliberate arrangement, the relationship between Reina and Snape was more awkward than Draco's.

"Tsk tsk tsk, look, the beauty is coming down." Bella sneered loudly, causing the Death Eaters to sneer.

Lena glanced at Bella. Voldemort often summoned people alone recently. Snape just went to the third floor. Bella in front of her also often ran to the third floor recently, and she was particularly excited.

"Didn't the master teach you the dark arts? How is it? Do you know how to use the Killing Curse? How about the Cruciatus Curse? Do you want me to test you?"

Reina frowned. She had never said anything about this before.

"It seems that some people are not studying hard enough. That's really not okay. How can we allow them to waste their master's time?"

"Bella, it's almost time. She's just a child."

Narcissa spoke out to stop her. Bella glanced at her, snorted at Lena, and walked over to sit next to Narcissa.

"Are you okay?" Draco walked up to Lena and asked.

Lena was a little confused. Bella's words were not enough to make Draco so worried.

"What happened?"

"There have been some bad comments recently about you and Snape." Draco looked around and saw that many people were paying attention to this side.

"That's a really dirty idea." Reina sneered.

Draco frowned, ruffled his hair and whispered, "That's not what I meant."

"Someone is questioning your and Snape's loyalty."

?

Rayna had been tricked—tricked by Voldemort.

Ever since Draco reminded her of the message from the Death Eaters, everything seemed to be getting out of control, with unexpected things happening one after another.

Lucius was sent by Voldemort to control the Ministry of Magic. Rena and Draco were called by Voldemort at the same time. Draco was given the task of repairing the Vanishing Cabinet, while Rena was directly asked by Voldemort to drop out of school.

Of course, these were still within Reina's expectations, but when Reina and Voldemort met alone, Voldemort was playing with something in his hand, which was the Hufflepuff gold cup.

That day, Voldemort used the excuse of teaching dark magic to say a lot of nonsense to Reina, including the matter of Horcruxes. Reina's alarm bells immediately rang. She never thought that she had reached the point where Voldemort could trust her with the details. She suddenly remembered the rumors about her infidelity that Draco had said.

Talros has impure intentions...

Tallos has revealed his master's secrets...

Tallos tipped off the Ministry of Magic during the Department of Mysteries...

Tallos secretly visits Potter...

Tallos expands his influence among the Death Eaters...

True and false, false and true, no wonder Reina always felt uneasy, but when Reina explained to Voldemort he didn't care, he just told Reina not to pay attention to those annoying rumors.

This was very wrong. Reina felt that she was in a passive position. Regardless of who started these rumors, the Hufflepuff gold cup was taken back by Voldemort. Counting Nagini, the two Horcruxes were controlled by Voldemort. The balance of the situation immediately began to tilt towards Voldemort.

Why did he suddenly take back the cup? There were still two years before the war. During this year, she was the only one who could contact Voldemort. However, she couldn't destroy two Horcruxes at the same time, not to mention a thinking beast.

Voldemort had a faint smile on his face and stared at Lena.
