Chapter 208 The warmth of a hug

After Severus Snape learned his daughter's secret from his good friend's son Draco, before he had a frank chat with his daughter, his daughter came to him first.

"Are you saying that you plan to continue the second-year duel training in private?" Snape knew the purpose of her visit. She came to ask him to control the field to avoid accidentally hurting his companions. "Okay."

Snape agreed.

During the summer vacation, he always played against his daughter in person, and she basically never won against him.

Now that there is an opportunity here, it is a very good idea for her to compete with children of the same age.

"It's okay, Dad, I'm leaving first." After saying that, Lycoris was about to go back to the Slytherin common room, but was stopped.

"Riko, wait." Snape called to her.

Watching his daughter turn around, Snape noticed that her cheeks had become much thinner and her eyes appeared larger.

Now these eyes are full of doubts, as if they are asking Dad, is there something wrong with you?

"Don't feel bad when I get bitten by a snake in the Shrieking Shack."

"Click." The beech wand in the girl's hand fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Licolis felt her heart suddenly tighten.

impossible.

Dad, how did he know the cause of his death?

Looking at the expression on the girl's face at that moment, Snape confirmed that his guess was correct.

He looked at his daughter's brown eyes and used Legilimency. Lycoris was shocked by her father's words, and the Occlumency that had been running stopped for a moment.

Snape saw it.

A giant python bit him on the neck bit by bit, and blood flowed down his neck.

The splattered blood splashed on the glass wall, and he leaned there weakly.

Snape also saw Potter - Harry Potter.

Licoris quickly closed her eyes. How could her father use Legilimency on her?

Snape watched his daughter close her eyes as he thought about the images he saw in her mind.

It turned out that Porter was with him before his death?

Snape was very satisfied to be able to see those green eyes one last time.

"You were negligent, Rico." Snape stood up and walked step by step from the desk to his daughter. He watched her eyes tightly closed, her eyelashes trembling slightly due to excessive exertion.

Snape knew clearly that Voldemort would come back in the future.

Otherwise, Old Bee would not be so caring about him and would not found any Order of the Phoenix.

Apart from anything else, Snape still recognized the old bee's planning ability.

"I will be bitten to death by a giant python in the Shrieking Shack." Snape said with certainty.

"...Yes." Licoris spoke with difficulty, forcing out one word - "Yes".

"The last person who accompanied me was Potter." Snape's lips trembled slightly as he looked at his daughter.

"...Yes." Licoris couldn't explain what she was feeling now, her mind was confused.

"I didn't get to see the final victory." Snape watched as his daughter's body trembled as he asked his question.

"...Yes." Licoris's mood changed drastically, making her body feel a little uncomfortable now.

Snape reached out and hugged the girl in front of him, held her in his arms, and patted her back comfortingly.

"It's hard to suppress these things, isn't it? It's okay."

Snape felt sorry for her that she had suppressed these things for three years, and even after becoming his goddaughter, she still carried them on her own.

"I was so relieved to see Potter for the last time."

"I know now that we will win in the future, which is good."

"Death is something that everyone will experience. It is a wonderful feeling to know the cause of your death in advance. Don't blame yourself too much for it."

Snape comforted the girl in front of him. She refused to say anything. Was she afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear it?

She always thinks of others, without even thinking of herself.

Lycoris raised her right hand to cover her eyes, tears streaming down her face.

"Riko, this is my fate, my destiny, not your responsibility."

"You've already worked hard, carrying so much."

"It's okay, you can stop."

Even Nott knew something was wrong with Lycoris. As her father, how could Snape not know about her problem?

She is like a dry sponge, frantically absorbing the water source of knowledge.

She works too hard.

"Leave your research to me."

"What...what research?" Lycoris sobbed, her voice filled with tears.

"Aren't you studying snake venom potion?" Snape touched the girl's hair and said, "Leave it to me."

Dad, he actually knew that he was researching snake venom potion? !

Didn't I just dissect a basilisk in front of him? Can you guess this?

"...Okay." Licoris nodded.

It's great that my dad is willing to help me since my dad is a potions master and my potions skills aren't high enough yet.

"Are you still researching something related to potions? You can leave it to me." Snape knew that his daughter liked innovation. For example, she improved the previous invisibility potion.

"Okay." Licoris nodded.

Snape looked at the tears on his daughter's face and said, "You can tell me anything you want to tell me, Rico, we are father and daughter."

"Okay." Licoris felt supported for the first time.

"So, the snake venom potion is not a responsibility you have to bear. You can be happier." Snape looked at his daughter and sincerely hoped that she would be happy and be as happy as a child.

Severus Snape only found out today that the snake venom potion she was researching was for herself. She had really been trying to do what she said, "I want to change your destiny."

"I accept all my fate, good or bad. As a father, I don't want you to have such a hard life." Looking at his daughter's thin face, Snape knew that she must have used the time turner to the extreme. .

"Dad." Lycoris lay on his shoulder and kept crying. She always felt that she could do it.

Now that my father cares about me, I feel aggrieved.

"The Time Turner is very useful, but don't overuse it. People's energy is limited, learn to make choices." Snape deliberately pointed out her problem, hoping that she could relax a little bit.

Licolis nodded, sniffed, "Okay, Dad."

The father and daughter communicated for a while, and Licoris returned to the dormitory.

How did dad guess the cause of his death?

Lycoris thought hard, and then thought of her Boggart.

In the plot, Dad targets Neville Longbottom because of the cross-dressing incident.

Now that Dad knows about my Boggart, he can piece together the truth.

I think I know who the informer is.
