After finally figuring out all the reasons, the four children hurriedly followed the direction where the giant monster disappeared.

Because before them, Dumbledore, Snape, and Professor McGonagall had all headed towards the Forbidden Forest.

At this moment, the sky was full of stars, and at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Chen Junyu, who appeared in the state of a soul, slowly led the troll towards the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

Until a winding road spread towards the depths of the quiet forest, Chen Junyu stopped by the roadside and was no longer leading the troll.

The troll seemed very disturbed. He looked at the dark winding road leading to the depths of the forest, and then looked at the man who was as beautiful as a unicorn with silver light spots all over his body. He pointed at the forest with clumsy fingers. In the depths, he pointed to Chen Junyu again.

A group of people who arrived in a hurry stood on the edge of Hogwarts and watched, everyone had a rather confused expression.

Draco couldn't believe his eyes, the man was exactly like the one in the portrait.Speaking of the oil painting, Draco still remembered that it was a treasure hanging in his storage room.Draco didn't know whose handwriting the work came from, but he never thought that the beauty in that painting would be the person in front of him.

For some reason, he suddenly seemed a little excited.

Chen Junyu shook his head, and said weakly: "I can't leave with you, it doesn't belong to me. However, you should go back there, you don't need to be afraid, I will visit you often in the future."

After getting the answer, the troll reluctantly left.

Every few steps his huge body took, he had to look back.Until it was completely submerged in the darkness, Chen Junyu fell to the ground weakly. After he fell to the ground, Snape stumbled and squatted down in front of him.It seemed that he wanted to hug him, until his hands passed through the soul, and he suddenly woke up.

"Sir..." Snape's voice had never been so hoarse. Most people saw Snape as cold, handsome and powerful.But what was presented in front of Chen Junyu now was that kind of weak and helpless Snape who was deeply saddened.

"Sev..." Chen Junyu raised his hand and touched Snape's cheek.It seemed that he wanted to rub the top of his head like he did when he was a child, but because his hand passed directly across Snape's cheek, he suddenly realized that he was just a soul now.

He didn't have the strength to move around now, so he raised his eyes and glanced at Dudley not far away.

Dudley broke free from Harry's grasp, and ran over in a hurry.Professor McGonagall seemed to want to stop the children of her own academy, but she didn't say anything after receiving Dumbledore's eyes.

Snape looked at Dudley in surprise, he didn't understand what the gentleman was going to do?But right now, he is so worried that his heart is in a mess. Although it seems that he is just a lot sadder on the surface, only he knows that his thoughts are on the verge of collapse.

Chen Junyu got up and fell, fell and half got up again.Even if Dudley wanted to help, there was nothing he could do. After all, no one could touch a soul.

Just when everyone was about to say something in silence, Chen Junyu finally got up and fell into Dudley's arms. Dudley also wrapped his arms around him, so that when this soul touched a part of his body, In an instant, as if something had found a container, it got into the center of his eyebrows in an instant.

Disappeared.

"What have you done?!" Snape held Dudley's arms tightly, his eyes seemed to be drenched in blood, and his tone made people tremble even more.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Dumbledore hurried forward, rescued Dudley from Snape's grasp, and hurriedly urged Professor McGonagall.

"Take them back with you."

Professor McGonagall hurriedly yelled at Harry and Ron, "Go back to the common dormitory, and you too, go back to the Slytherin common room!"

Draco followed Dudley closely, while Harry looked at Dudley silently, and Ron was confused.Under the leadership of Professor McGonagall, the four were sent to their colleges one by one before the end.

On the edge of the Forbidden Forest outside Hogwarts Castle, Dumbledore patted Severus on the shoulder, looked into the depths of the Forbidden Forest, and said, "Chen's soul, perhaps only that child can maintain it..."

After all, Dumbledore was a wizard who had lived for such a long time. When he saw Chen Junyu's soul melt into Dudley's brow, he suddenly seemed to think of something.

Some people's souls can be supported. He thought of Chen Junyu's situation before he pondered.

……

After entering November, the weather becomes extremely cold.

The mountains around Hogwarts were gray and covered with snow and ice, and the lakes were as cold and hard as blocks of steel.Every morning there was frost on the ground, spreading to the grass outside the castle.

Harry was in Gryffindor Rota and could clearly see Hagrid through the window.Wrapped in a long moleskin overcoat, rabbit fur gloves, and huge beaver fur shoes, he defrosts a broomstick on the Quidditch pitch.

The Quidditch season is about to begin.

After several weeks of training, Harry has mastered the skills that most players should master.

Coming up to play on Saturday, it's his first game ever.It was Gryffindor fighting Slater, and for some reason, whenever he thought of the Slytherin he was about to defeat, Dudley's face would inexplicably flash before his eyes.

Since Hermione knew that it was Harry and Ron, Draco and Dudley who saved her from the troll, she didn't care too much about breaking the school rules.

The day before the Quidditch match, the three of them came to the cold yard during recess.Hermione used her wand to conjure a bright blue flame that could be carried around in a jam jar.They stood there with their backs to the fire for warmth, chatting about various deeds and precautions in the Quidditch match.

Just then, Professor Snape walked across the yard.

Harry noticed that Snape was walking with a limp, and behind his tall figure was the shorter Cousin Dudley.Harry, Ron, and Hermione moved closer together, not wanting the professor to spot the flames behind them.

It's a pity that Snape didn't pay attention to their cautiousness at all, because there were more urgent matters waiting for him to solve, Snape didn't even look at the three of them, and hurried with Dudley behind him walk by.

"Professor Snape has always been very dark lately..." Hermione sighed out of nowhere, she missed the class taught by Professor Snape very much.Although he will not be scolded, at least the professor will smile for no reason in class.

Since the troll incident, every class taught by Snape, everyone was too scared to make a mistake in class.If there is a slight mistake or the potion is wrong, it will inevitably be scolded by Professor Snape to death.

"He just called Dudley away..." Harry was most concerned about Dudley who followed Professor Snape through the hall with a heavy face.

He noticed that Cousin Dudley had a very serious expression on his face, as if he had encountered something very serious.This feeling made him particularly bad, and even the tense atmosphere of the game was inexplicably squeezed out.

Hermione gave Harry a weird look, patted him on the back, and signaled him to read the book quickly: "He's from Slytherin, isn't it normal for their headmaster to call him? Read your book quickly, Get ready for tomorrow's game, and we will cheer for you then!"

However, Harry withdrew his eyes in frustration. He actually wanted Cousin Dudley more, so cheer for yourself!But he didn't want to say that, lest it hurt Hermione sometime.After the incident with the troll, the relationship between the three of them seems to have warmed up a lot.Two Gryffindors and one Ravenclaw walking together did not attract much discussion.

Ron was so cold that he didn't want to participate in this unnutritious topic.Because of the financial constraints at home, the clothes he was wearing to keep out the cold didn't keep him warm.So he especially cherished the warmth brought to him by this bunch of blue flames.

Following Professor Snape quickly all the way to the staff lounge downstairs, Dudley became more and more nervous every time.I always felt that Professor Snape's limping steps seemed to be stepping on his own heart.

He felt sorry for the professor, he was obviously injured, and he didn't apply the medicine properly.He has a sullen face all day long, wishing to freeze to death any creature within three meters.

After Professor Snape sat down in his exclusive chair, Dudley stood stiffly beside the staff desk and chair, not daring to raise his head, and could only stare at his toes.

To put it bluntly, although he admires this character.But he was also more afraid of such a person, after all, he knew that Snape wanted to have a good chat with him after all those things happened so quickly.

"Dursley."

I'm coming!It seems to be an old account.

Dudley made up a series of scenes of himself being tortured by the curse, but what greeted him was a sudden sound from the fireplace next to him, a boy with red hair, hugging someone—— Dudley looked at him in surprise Chen Junyu, who was being hugged by the red-haired boy, compared to Chen Junyu who was used to seeing the state of the soul, Dudley saw the real thing at this moment, as if he was struck by lightning.

"Yes, sir. What's the matter?" Dudley snapped back to his senses, and he had just finished speaking.The boy with long red hair had already laid Chen Junyu on the sofa next to him, and made a thin blanket to cover Chen Junyu's legs.

"What's your relationship with Mr.?" Snape couldn't bear the oppression of these answers anymore, he went straight to the point, no matter whether the kid would tell the truth or not, the Veritaserum in his hand had shown something.

Dudley naturally saw the Veritaserum in Professor Snape's hand. His grades in potions were very good, even far surpassing Draco's.So he knew what the bottle of liquid represented, and instead of resisting with no effect, he felt that he could go along with the flow and release his best friend from the ring.

After thinking about it, I decided to make up a lie.

"What is the relationship between me and Professor Chen? I think you can ask him yourself when Professor Chen wakes up, Professor Snape." Dudley put on a standard Slytherin smile and asked him to make up something, when Chen Junyu woke up. Wouldn't it be a mess to come here, so he threw this problem to his best friend.
