Chapter 408 Vigilance is the price of freedom

September 2nd, 1972, was exactly Saturday. Neither Lily nor Severus bothered Pomona to go to Hogsmeade again, because they had both had a very rich school opening dinner the night before, and neither of them has yet Digested, and at the same time they were not interested in Quidditch, so they asked Pomona to take a walk in the Forbidden Forest.

   "How was your summer vacation?"

   "Don't mention it." Lily said listlessly, "Penny screamed when she saw the tree monkey frog eggs in my pocket, and told me not to approach her."

   Severus gave a sneer that he already knew would be so.

"I can’t blame her. We were having afternoon tea. I wanted to share the eggs with them, but they all turned into tadpoles. Didn’t you tell me that the tadpoles of the tree monkey frog would jump around like monkeys? jump."

  Lily looked at Pomona with a condemning gaze. Pomona imagined the scene. At that time, how many girls were running and screaming, afraid that the tadpoles would run into their hair.

   "How was your summer vacation? Severus?" Pomona quickly changed the subject.

   "I have been doing experiments." He said in a dry voice that a 12-year-old shouldn't have, "I still have shortcomings in flattering skills. I may not be able to go to his house next summer."

   "Oh, where will you go for summer vacation then." Pomona groaned.

   "Go to your place." Severus said to Pomona without hesitation.

   "I told my mother that I would take my friends to my house for the summer vacation." Lily stuck her waist and said, "Also, you can't help but go home, Sev."

   "I don't want to go back." Severus frowned. "I told you that one day I will leave there!"

   "That's when you are an adult. Now you are not an adult. If you don't go back, your mother will be bullied by your father again..."

   "Enough!" He drank Lily like a shame.

   "Let her go on, Severus." Pomona said blankly.

   "Siefer won't let me say it, I won't say it." Lily said obediently, "That's his privacy."

  Severus was relieved secretly as if the tight string had relaxed.

  While he was unprepared, Pomona pointed her wand at his head, and used the mind-trapping mind.

The picture that appeared in his mind was only endless quarrels. The freshest picture was a man in a leopard shirt with a hooked nose just like him sitting in a deck with a woman dressed as a waitress. Joke.

  She was quickly pushed out, Severus's face was pale, and her eyes were full of hatred.

   "How did you get home?"

   "It doesn't matter to you!" Severus yelled at her angrily, then ran into the castle, Lily did not chase him.

   "Why don't you chase?" Pomona asked.

  "They quarreled again. The police are here this time. My mother said the only solution is to get a divorce." Lily copied her hands and said, "We should help Irene find a place to live."

   "Sounds like a good idea." Pomona nodded in agreement.

  "I told my dad about the school. I don’t need my money. Severus has done a lot. You should give him his salary."

   "I'll think about it." Pomona muttered, her little money should be more than enough to buy a slum house.

   "You can't just think, Irene really needs help, my mother can't bear it anymore." Lily said sharply, "If you don't promise you don't come to my house for summer vacation."

  Lily’s threat did not scare Pomona, but she made her firm stand.

  Furthermore, a house deed seems to be a good Christmas gift.

  Pomona agreed without much thought.

   January 15, 2005.

  "The werewolf transformed on the night of the full moon, shouldn't we come at that time?" Dylan Ernest asked while searching for the werewolf in the deep forest.

"Werewolves who have not transformed are not dangerous. Werewolves who have transformed are several times more dangerous. After transformation, they will be weak for a period of time. During that time, they will not leave the hiding place. They will have to wait until their bodies can move normally. They will not come out until later.” Anna has to walk in front with a deep foot and a shallow foot. “They will look very pale. They have stolen the gas stations and supermarkets in the town.”

  "Werewolves steal?" Dylan whistled frivolously, "They are all fierce muscular men in the movie."

"That's a movie, and the vampires are not Cain's heirs. They are all made up. Count Dracula is a fictional character." Anna looked around with a wary face. "The book says Cain will live forever but he doesn't say he wants Vampires, real vampires are not handsome, they look no different from ordinary people."

   "You will be disappointed when you say that those vampire admirers." Dylan sneered and said, "I know several chicks, all day long watching being bitten by the blood, gaining eternal youth and beauty."

  "Do you know the famous Jack the Ripper in London in the 19th century? Scotland Yard couldn't find the murderer, so I asked the Ministry of Magic for help. The Ministry killed a vampire for the crime."

   "You mean, Jack the Ripper is a vampire?" Dylan's eyes widened like a mouthful of mustard.

   "No, Jack is a cannibal. He destroyed all the bodies of the victims and took away some organs. The vampires just sucked blood. They made a mistake."

   "What is the Ministry of Magic? Is it a secret department?" Dylan asked.

  Anna turned her head and looked at him in disbelief, "Do you really know nothing?"

   "I've heard some rumors, but I don't believe it." Dylan rubbed his nose in embarrassment.

   "Yes, this is an advantage, keep it!" Anna praised, "You are much better than people who spread rumors without their brains."

  "Why did you choose me?" Dylan asked, "I mean, many people on the football team are stronger than me, and they are not the kid in the city."

   "My cousin Oliver, he is the pride of the family, he looks perfect in everything." Anna rolled her eyes and said, "I can't believe he is a wizard."

   "Then what do you think a wizard is like?" Dylan asked with interest.

   "I don't know. Anyway, I shouldn't be as honest as him." Anna looked at Dylan and said, "There should be a mysterious temperament."

   "That's why you like me? Because I look mysterious?" Dylan held Anna's waist, very intimate with his forehead against her forehead.

   "No, I just need a tool man." Anna stroked Dylan's cheek and said, "You are a good tool, Dylan Ernest."

   "Then do you plan to use it again now?" He looked at Anna's blue eyes and said, "How about getting back to my car?"

   "How many women have been in your Porsche." Anna smiled and pushed him away. "It's all over for dinner, it's time to hunt, dear."

   "I bought macaroni."

   "Keep it for yourself to eat." Anna said without looking back, stepping on the snow.

  "How old did you start hunting?"

  "Starting when my dad believed that I could walk without a walker."

   "So experienced hunter, why do you take me to hunt?"

  Anna turned her head and smiled at him slightly, "Others won't follow me into the depths of the woods, only you dare."

   "Why don't they dare?" Dylan asked inexplicably.

   "How do you say, because you don't know as many of them." Anna carried the shotgun behind her back and tied her curly hair with a rubber band. "The ignorant is fearless. That's why I chose you."

  Dylan looked up at the dark forest around him, wondering if it was his illusion, he felt a little cold.

   "There is a cave in front, we will go there to rest tonight." Anna whispered, "We have two days left."

  "You will not hunt anymore?"

   "I told you, I want to leave this place, no matter whether my revenge is successful or not, I don't want to stay here any longer, how about you?"

  Dylan did not reply.

   "Oh~ Do you still want to be a good child with your mother?"

"You are like a wild animal, Anna, the city is not suitable for you." Dylan said in a sincere voice. "Those people live with masks. You never know what monsters are hidden under the masks. It is not suitable for your life. ."

   "So what do you suggest?"

   "I don't know." Dylan thought for a long time and then shook his head. "But now I feel that life in the country is not as boring as I thought. I can try to stay."
