HP: Let professors walk towards the light

It was a rare day for Reina to come out of the dormitory to bask in the sun. Because the school was filled with the filth of the prisoner who escaped from Azkaban and the Dementors, Reina suddenly began to wonder, is Hogwarts really that safe?

"La la la ~ Hogwarts Hogwarts Hogwarts, please teach us some knowledge..."

Reina was walking while humming the school song happily.

"Hey, the sun is shining, why is it so cold—"

As Reina was walking, she suddenly felt a chill from head to toe and shivered unconsciously.

Really, I finally got out, but it's still so cold. It's so annoying. It's known as the safest place in the world, but so many things have happened since the start of the school year. Since you know that the escaped criminal is looking for Potter, why don't you just send Potter away? Why does he have to come to school and implicate other students...

Reina grumbled inwardly, and her good mood just now disappeared in an instant.

"Why is it getting colder?"

Just as she was muttering, a rotten cloak suddenly floated in front of her, and a dry and scabby palm attacked Lena's face. Lena's eyes widened in horror. Under the cloak was a face like a rotten corpse, and a dark hole slowly approached her.

It's a dementor!

Damn it, why is there a Dementor in this school! Reina wanted to escape, but for some reason, her feet seemed to be stuck in place and she couldn't move. The unstable center of gravity caused Reina to fall to the ground, and the Dementors quickly captured Reina's position.

The sun...disappeared, it's so cold...it's like falling into a black lake...it feels like it's going to freeze...

"I'm sorry to inform you, child, that your parents have been registered as dead." The words of the Ministry of Magic clerk rang in Reina's ears, "We will send you to a wizard orphanage. Children who have lost their parents will go there, and the Ministry of Magic will always provide them with..."

"I won't go! Get out, get out! Biss, kick them out of the manor and never let them in again!" Little Lena screamed loudly.

There were no remains, no traces, and no witnesses. How could they conclude that Mom and Dad were dead based on a magic wand in half a year? No one wanted them to come back. Why couldn't they look for them again? How could they close the case so hastily?

I won’t go to the orphanage, no! I obviously have a father and a mother, I’m not an orphan, they love me very much… love me… but… they won’t come back… they lost me… why did they leave me alone at home… it’s so cold and dark… there’s no one… except for the termination letter, there’s not even a condolence letter… Reina was abandoned, Reina is a child without parents…

Living alone is so boring... No matter how hard I try, my parents won't come back. They didn't want Reina anymore, so...

"Call the gods to protect you!"

A white light flashed, and Reina's eyes went dark. She fell forward, as if something caught her.

……

"Are you satisfied now? I have long said that Dementors are not good things. Who can guarantee that they will not attack students? If I had not arrived in time, that blind creature would have caused me to lose a student!"

"Dumbledore, this child has indeed been in contact with Dementors for a long time. What if the same thing happens to other students..."

Reina was dazed and seemed to hear the voices of Professor Snape and Madam Pomfrey in the medical wing.

Oh, yes, she encountered the Dementors -

Reina slowly opened her eyes and saw the three people standing beside the bed.

"Professor—" she said in a hoarse voice.

"Oh my God, child, you're awake. How do you feel?" The gentle voice of Madam Pomfrey responded to her.

"I don't feel well." Reina said with difficulty.

"Oh, let me check you out." Madam Pomfrey examined her body.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Tallos."

Dumbledore walked to her bedside and explained in a kind tone, "After the Quidditch match, I had already driven all the Dementors out of the school. However, because Sirius Black had broken into the school, the Minister of Magic did not withdraw them. The Dementor that attacked you was likely to have followed Sirius's trail. I will apply for compensation from the Ministry of Magic for this matter."

"Compensation? Just compensation?" Professor Snape said in a gloomy tone, "Which school's students would almost have their souls sucked away by Dementors and become a walking corpse because of wandering around? Let me remind you, Tallos from Hogwarts is one of them."

Reina saw that Professor Snape was a little angry and even rolled his eyes at her. Uh... so her crime was wandering around?

"Severus, you know the style of those people in the Ministry of Magic..." Dumbledore sighed deeply, glanced at Rena, and left the medical wing helplessly.

"I'll go get her some medicine, Professor Snape. You can take care of her for a while." Madam Pomfrey instructed Snape before leaving. "Be gentle."

In fact, all of Madam Pomfrey's thoughts were whispered to her, and Reina saw an awkward expression on Professor Snape's face.

The scene was very embarrassing.

"Are you--okay?" Snape asked a very stupid question.

“It’s okay…” Reina smiled reluctantly.

Snape said nothing but stared at Reyna.

Eventually, Reina succumbed to that death gaze, let down her guard, and spoke her mind.

"Professor Snape, am I really useless—"

"Hmm?" Snape asked as if he had heard something strange.

"When I met the Dementors just now, I thought of my childhood. At that time, I suddenly had a feeling that it would be better to die than to live a meaningless life alone. I am not good at studying, Quidditch, or business. The company left by my father can only keep it running for a while. I feel like I can't do anything well. One more or one less of me won't make much difference in the world, and one less of me won't make much either..."

Snape frowned, walked to the bed, looked down at Rena, sat down as if he had made a difficult decision, and put his hand over Rena's eyes.

Reina felt a warm current flowing from her eyes to her whole body.

"If being ranked tenth in the grade is considered a bad student, then those trolls behind you can all commit suicide. Ravenclaw even has sports nerds who can't ride a broom. Even if you hate Quidditch, Hogwarts won't expel you for it. Look at those other people who live in their comfort zone. They can't even learn simple algorithms, let alone business."

"Although I don't have a deep impression of you, I also remember that you are the only student in recent years who took the initiative to ask questions about Potions." Snape stated in a light tone, as if he was giving an insignificant speech.

"But I don't know any of the questions you asked..."
