Snape, the Sunshine of Hogwarts

Harry didn't understand why Severus had finished speaking; he just thought the scene was beautiful, like a romantic chance encounter in a fairy tale.

The gardener who went to fetch water for Xueni returned quickly. Only then did Xueni finally come to her senses, only to find that the girl who had been by the window was gone.

He became visibly distracted, but the change in the lawnmower was unbelievable to the gardener.

"How did you do that! You replaced everything with new stuff?"

Bloody is clearly not thinking about the lawnmower right now.

"Yes, that's probably it."

"But I was only gone for less than five minutes!"

"As long as it's fixed, that's fine," Bloodny said dismissively.

However, when the gardener sat down and tried to light it, he still couldn't get it running.

"Impossible!" Bloodny shouted. "Unless it was broken to begin with, I must have already fixed it!"

The gardener's gaze toward Blood Nymph had become strange.

"What exactly do you do? You didn't even know the lawnmower needed gas at first, but after I left, it's like you've replaced the whole thing with a brand new one! But it still won't start!"

Now, Bloodny couldn't pay attention to the lawnmower at all; he had more troublesome things to deal with.

A Muggle witnessed him casting a spell, and this matter must be dealt with. Otherwise, if the Aurors are alerted and the memory erasure team is brought in to handle the matter, he will receive a fine that he cannot afford!

"Can I go to the restroom? I'm in a real hurry!"

Under the gardener's gaze, Bloody ran towards the manor house.

He rushed into the house, determined to go to the third floor, but before he could even climb the stairs to the first floor, he was spotted by the housekeeper who happened to be coming downstairs.

Faced with the butler's questioning, he stammered and couldn't answer for a long time.

He only fled when the housekeeper picked up the phone to call the police.

The next second, the environment in which Severus and Harry were located changed rapidly, like slides being fast-forwarded one by one.

By the time the surroundings returned to normal, Budmington Manor was already shrouded in night.

Having fled in a sorry state during the day, and shamefully used magic to repair the lawnmower without even receiving payment, Bloodny sneaked back again.

His spellcasting skills are very poor. Any Hogwarts student who normally passes the NEWTs exams and gets three excellent grades should be better than him.

But this level of skill is more than enough to avoid those Muggles.

This time he successfully reached the third floor and found the room.

Despite having come here to have her memories erased, Blood Nymph, standing in front of the door, couldn't help but tidy her clothes and hair before using a lock-picking spell to open the bedroom door uninvited.

He groped his way in and then carefully closed the door again.

Just as he raised his wand, intending to follow the sound of breathing to find the girl who had seen him cast a spell during the day and erase her memory,

Reflected by the starlight and moonlight outside the window, he saw a pair of bright, clear eyes watching him in the darkness.

This startled Bloodni.

"Are you the wizard from the daytime?"

The bedside lamp was suddenly turned on, and Patty, covered by the blanket and leaning against the headboard, quietly looked at Bloody.

With his back pressed against the wall, Bloodni discovered the problem.

"Were you waiting for me on purpose?"

A sly glint appeared in Patty's eyes.

"You were terrified when I saw you, and you wanted to come to me then, but the butler stopped you. I knew you'd come back tonight!"

Xueni stared wide-eyed, astonished by the girl's intelligence.

However, Patty's next words left him at a loss.

"Are you here to kill me?"

"No! I don't kill people randomly. You just saw it by accident, just by accident." Bloodny hurriedly raised the wand in his hand. "Just one Forgetfulness Charm will do. One Forgetfulness Charm and you won't remember what happened during the day."

Upon hearing this answer, Patty's eyes showed disappointment.

Blood Nyx understood the look in her eyes.

You want me to kill you?

Patty didn't answer, she just looked at him quietly.

“My room is next to the maid’s. She was sent by my father to watch over me day and night. Whenever I call out, she comes over and then alerts everyone else.”

Bloody guessed what she was going to do, and he hurriedly waved his hand, trying to stop Patty.

But the girl had already shouted it out.

"Welma! Wilma!"

Hearing footsteps coming from the bedroom next door, Xue Ni panicked. Afraid of attracting more people, he had no choice but to open the window, intending to jump out.

As he climbed up to the window, Patty's voice rang out behind him.

"You'll come back to me, won't you, Mr. Wizard?"

Xueni turned around in surprise and saw Patty smiling and winking at him.

The girl did it on purpose; she deliberately drove Xue Ni away tonight so that he would come back in the future!

Before the door was opened, Bloodny finally jumped down.

As a vampire, his physical abilities were far superior to those of ordinary wizards; a height of three stories would not cause him much harm.

He could vaguely hear sounds coming from inside the bedroom at the foot of the mansion.

"What's wrong, Miss Patty? Do we need to change the diaper again?"

“No.” Patty’s voice was cold, but she didn’t mention anything about Bloodni. “The window was left open, and I need your help.”

"It's so hard to sleep all night!"

Amid the servants' complaints, the window on the third floor was slammed shut again.

Xue Ni lay sprawled out, his rapid breathing gradually slowing down. He looked up at the starry sky, motionless, lost in thought.

“Patty’s got him in trouble. He’s probably thinking about how to erase her memory later,” Harry said sympathetically.

Severus didn't speak, but just turned his head and glanced speechlessly at his straight male student.

Even Ghost Snape couldn't help but mutter softly inside him.

"Just as stupid as his shameless father."

Chapter 30 The Friendship Between Vampires and Muggles

As the surrounding scenery began to change again, another night fell.

Bloody sneaked into Bardington Manor for the second time.

Before coming here, he seemed to have gone through a very intense internal struggle and made up his mind to erase all memories of himself from Patty's mind tonight.

His steps were firm as he entered the staircase, but the higher he went, the more inappropriate hesitation and entanglement appeared on Xue Ni's face.

Until he pushed open the door and walked into the room, which had no locks on the door.

Moonlight streamed through the large French windows, its soft glow like a silver veil covering the entire room.

The girl in the wheelchair sat quietly by the window, bathed in silvery sunlight, making her look so peaceful and serene.

Seeing Patty, who was clearly waiting for him, Bloody's hand holding the wand trembled slightly involuntarily.

"Don't you sleep at night?" he asked with difficulty.

"A useless person like me can sleep at any time of day."

Patty said calmly, tilting her head to look at Bloodny.

"Are you still determined to alter my memories?"

Even a straight man like Harry could tell that Bloodny was too weak to do it. At this moment, his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't even use the most basic Levitation Charm!

But the young vampire stubbornly insisted.

“According to the wizarding statute of secrecy, Muggles cannot know these things. If I don’t do this, the Aurors will find out sooner or later, and they will send someone to erase your memory!”

"Then why can't you just kill me?" Patty still begged Bloodny for death.

Bloody became visibly agitated, frustrated by Patty's disregard for his own life.

"Why do you make death sound so simple! If you really want to die, why don't you do it yourself!"

But as soon as he uttered the second half of the sentence, Xue Ni realized he had said the wrong thing, and his face turned even paler.

Patty, however, did not feel offended; she continued to look at Bloody quietly.

"They didn't give me the chance to commit suicide. I couldn't even open that window on my own."

Blood Nymph remained silent.

He understood that Patty was right.

There wasn't a single sharp object in the bedroom, and given Patty's inability to even take care of basic needs, she had even lost the right to commit suicide.

"Have you left this room?" Xueni suddenly asked.

Patty looked at Bloody and said softly.

"They allow me to go out, but someone has to follow me at all times. Nobody wants to be treated like a dog, having to go out on a leash every day, right?"

Suddenly, Bloody walked up to Patty and grabbed one of Patty's hands.

This action made the girl hold her breath. Her eyes, which had been as empty and indifferent as if she were dead, revealed a rare look of panic and helplessness.

Xue Ni didn't care what she thought. Instead, he held her hand and helped her pull open the French windows, which were deliberately designed to be difficult to open!

The night breeze blew into the bedroom, making their hair stand up.

At this moment, Xueni released his grip.

“The window is right there,” he said, taking a deep breath. “You can do whatever you want anytime without anyone’s help.”

Patty stared blankly at Bloodni, but she quickly came to her senses.

Without any hesitation or doubt, she used the only arm she could still control to begin the arduous crawl toward the window frame!

Even though she could easily reach the open window while sitting, it was still a long battle.

Using the curtains to hold the wheels of her wheelchair in place, she relied entirely on her arms to move her body toward the window frame, like a slow, sluggish snail.

Finally, after a full twenty minutes, she draped her upper body over the open window as if she were draping a handkerchief over it!

Patty could already see the ground ten meters below. If she fell vertically, she would have a chance to fall headfirst onto the stone path that extended from the lawn.

This is a suicide option with a very high mortality rate.

She didn't let her body fall immediately, but instead made one last effort to turn back and look at Blood Nymph.

"Can I know your name?"

Xue Ni stared blankly at her, at the girl who was determined to die.

“Blood Nymph,” he murmured.

“My name is Patty, Patty Somerset. We’re friends now, aren’t we?” Patty, who would never hesitate to die, was now trying her best to keep her voice from sounding nervous.

"Yes," Xueni was also trying hard not to make her voice sound dry and hoarse.

The very next second after he finished speaking, Patty braced himself against the window frame with both arms and pushed his body off!

The wind lifted her dress and her chestnut hair, making her look so light that a gust of wind could lift her up!

Almost instantly, Blood Nymph rushed to the window and jumped down without hesitation!

As he jumped, his hand, gripping the wand tightly, showed no sign of trembling. It pointed precisely at the falling girl in mid-air as he uttered the spell!

"Zombie Drifting!"

Harry's heart leaped into his throat at the sight. He instinctively wanted to run to the window to see if the two were alright, but before he could take a step, Severus grabbed his shoulder.

The scenery around them changed, and when it reappeared, they were on the lawn outside the house.
