Chapter 107 Calling God to Guard
"Severus, why are you here?"
Jiang Li was a little surprised to see Snape actually walking up to him.
Snape stared at Jiang Li intently and said in a deep voice: "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
"I don't understand what you said." Jiang Li pretended to be stupid.
"You made me faint on purpose so that I could attend the funeral alone, right?" Snape said angrily.
Jiang Li must have known that Voldemort would appear, so he deliberately sent himself away, not wanting to put himself in danger.
"No, I saw you fell asleep, so I came here by myself." Jiang Li said calmly.
"Gardenia, I'm not a fool."
Snape stared at Jiang Li, watching the rain dripping from her hair, and said in a deep voice: "I can obviously help you, why don't you believe me."
"I don't disbelieve you." Jiang Li said helplessly, "I just don't want you to get hurt."
"So you're asking me to hide away like a coward and leave you to deal with these things alone?" Snape sulked.
Jiang Li didn't expect him to be so angry. He felt a little headache and just leaned on his shoulder.
"I'm so tired and can't walk anymore. Just carry me back."
The wet hair soaked his collar. Snape said angrily, "Gardenia, don't try to fool me."
"Yes, yes, I have deeply reflected on my behavior and I am very sorry to you. Please don't be angry, okay?" Jiang Li said perfunctorily with a sincere face.
fraud.
Snape cursed in his heart but did not push Jiang Li away.
Lucius looked at the way the two of them got along and felt something was strange.
He had always thought that Jiang Li and Snape were siblings, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"Let's go back."
Feeling that Snape had calmed down, Jiang Li held his hand and Disapparated directly.
Inside Hogwarts, little Barty was startled when he saw Snape and Jiang Li suddenly appear in front of him.
Snape subconsciously stood in front of Jiang Li.
"Is the memorial service over so soon?" Little Paris asked in surprise.
"Well, it ended early."
Snape said as he pushed little Barty to the other side, "There is nothing for you to do here, you can go back."
Little Barty didn't react and just watched Snape pulling Jiang Li away.
Jiang Li let him pull him, looking at his back in a daze.
It feels like time has passed so quickly. Has Severus grown up so much already?
This school year is gradually coming to an end.
The Death Eaters' movements became more and more noisy, and many people still joined them.
At the same time, the game "Second World" also began to become popular in the wizarding world.
This game is different from previous games. It can make people completely immersed in another world and forget the troubles in life.
As more and more wizards played "Second World", the game became more and more famous, and everyone knew the name of the game without even needing any promotion.
This summer, Jiang Li did not go to Paris, but returned to his residence with Snape.
Mia clutched her handkerchief and cried excitedly.
"Great, Mia can spend the holidays with her master!"
"Mia, this is for you."
Jiang Li gave Mia a pendant with an elf pattern carved on it and smiled gently, "I didn't know what you like, so I made a pendant for you."
Mia took the pendant with care, her big eyes filled with tears and she blew her nose with a handkerchief.
"Master... Master gave Mia a gift, Mia is so happy! Master is the best wizard in the world!!"
Mia couldn't control herself when she got excited. She clenched her fists and hit her head.
"Mia, you can laugh when you are happy, but don't express your emotions in a way that hurts yourself." Jiang Li ordered.
Hearing this, Mia immediately stopped what she was doing, still holding the pendant box in her hand, biting her upper lip with her lower lip, looking like she was trying hard to hold back tears.
"Okay, go clean up the room. I'm going to be out for a while and will be back before dinner."
Jiang Li really didn't know how to deal with this situation. House-elves tended to be self-abuse when they got excited.
Although Mia had been told not to do this, it obviously had no effect.
She put on a black cape and went out. Just as she reached the door, she felt something pulling on her.
Jiang Li turned his head and met a pair of dark eyes.
"Take me with you." Snape said in a deep voice.
"I'm going to see Penny, do you want to follow me?" Jiang Li raised his eyebrows.
Snape and Petunia didn't get along well, and they always made sarcastic remarks to each other whenever they met.
"I don't think Miss Malfoy needs to wear a cloak with the Death Eater symbol on it to meet her friends."
Snape stared at Jiang Li's light blue eyes and said with certainty: "You are definitely going to do something dangerous. What exactly are you going to do?"
As children get older, it becomes increasingly difficult to lie to them.
Jiang Li looked at Snape helplessly and said, "It's inconvenient for me to take you with me."
"Believe me, it would be even more inconvenient if you didn't take me with you."
Snape approached Jiang Li, grabbed her right hand, and forcefully squeezed his fingers into her fingers, tightly grasping her. He stared into her eyes and said, "You are going to get Voldemort's Horcrux, right?"
Feeling the burning temperature in his palm, Jiang Li was actually a little afraid to look Snape in the eye, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.
"Okay, I can take you with me." Jiang Li compromised.
She originally wanted to go to the Gaunt family's old house alone to take away the ring that Voldemort had placed there, but she was discovered as soon as she went out.
"You stand out like this, change your clothes."
Jiang Li gave Snape a black robe and put it on him, and also gave him a mask with a confusing effect to put on his face.
This way, even if the other party knows that the ring is missing, they will not be able to track down who stole it.
After finishing the preparations, Snape held Jiang Li's hand.
Jiang Li's fingers struggled slightly.
Was it necessary to watch her so closely just because she wanted Snape to leave someone behind? And she was holding her fingers tightly, were they so afraid that she would run away?
The two began to Apparate, finally stopping at a dilapidated wooden house near Little Hangleton.
Jiang Li didn't expect the Gaunt family's old house to be so dilapidated.
The whole house exuded an air of decay, with green moss covering the stone steps, many tiles on the roof having fallen off, revealing the rafters underneath, and tall weeds growing in the yard.
The windows were thick with old grime, and a dead snake was nailed to the door.
Who would have thought that Voldemort had hidden a Horcrux here?
Jiang Li took out the crystal ball, and the black soul inside began to become restless.
There was a faint glow on her fingertips as she drew a magic pattern in the air, which landed on the crystal ball.
The next moment, the magic pattern fell on the black soul through the crystal ball, and the soul inside let out a sharp and piercing scream, as if it was being burned.
Four white lights lit up in different directions, one of which pointed to the village in front of them. The light was particularly conspicuous in the somewhat gloomy sky.
"I'll go first, you follow me."
Jiang Li walked towards the house and was pulled behind by Snape.
She looked at Snape holding his wand and looking around vigilantly. Her heart warmed slightly, and she pulled out her wand and cast a spell towards the house.
