John looked a little uneasy, but it only lasted a few seconds before he smiled.

"Yes, he is dead." He repeated firmly.

Snape was silent for a moment and whispered: "Go home."

John nodded, and he pulled the scarf on his face again to cover it tightly. Then he reached out and pulled up the scarf on Snape's face, exposing only his eyes.

Snape let John play with it, his dark eyes just watching him silently.

He had never been so touched as in that moment.

Even though he couldn't cast many battle spells and his legs were shaking, John stood in front of him and pointed his wand at Voldemort.

He said to protect yourself.

He didn't take a step back.

Snape had no impression of this concept.

From the moment he can remember, he has faced Tobia's drunken beatings. His mother only knows how to cry and beg - maybe she will cry and give him medicine after everything is over, but he really can only protect himself.

It was the same when he was a student at Hogwarts, and even more so after he joined the Death Eaters. Still when I was a professor at Hogwarts.

He wanted to protect Lily, protect little Potter, protect the students of Hogwarts, protect the members of the Order of the Phoenix...

and now John said he wanted to protect him?

"What's wrong?" John noticed his gaze and asked strangely.

"Nothing - just a little hungry." Snape didn't tell the truth.

When he was in the magic world, he couldn't put his life in the hands of others, and he couldn't believe with all his heart that someone would protect him. Because that only means death.

——There won’t be such a person.

But it's different now, he has John.

...And John really has the strength and wisdom to protect him.

Expecting to be protected by others - this somewhat weak emotion, can he try to have it?

Once you try it, you will never want to go back to that lonely and helpless state.

He did feel tired.

——Well, and he has to change his view of John again.

Although his younger age makes him a bit...lively, John is still very reliable when it comes to serious matters.

Maybe he had to start getting used to it?

Learn to rely on your lover?

Snape thought carefully.

"Are you hungry? Then let's apparate back! I'll take you. Let Mrs. Laws make something to eat quickly." John stopped walking slowly after hearing this, and said a little anxiously.

Snape's lips curled up slightly and he agreed.

John finally fulfilled his wish when he disapparated for the first time - he hugged Snape's waist tightly, then spun around in circles and disapparated.

With a loud bang, two people appeared accurately in the living room.

Mrs. Laws screamed and quickly put down the apple in her hand.

"You always show up suddenly like this, sooner or later you will scare me." She patted her chest and complained affectionately.

George raised his eyelids, glanced at the two people hugging each other tightly in the middle of the living room, put on his sunglasses calmly, and continued writing furiously.

"Mrs. Laws, have you had dinner? We decided to come back for dinner after watching the movie...well, cook us something to eat." John said vaguely.

He wanted to help Snape sit on the sofa, but Snape couldn't help but break away.

"I'm not critically ill yet, so there's no need to be so cautious." He hissed angrily, and walked to the sofa a little unsteadily and sat down.

John shrugged and slipped into the kitchen to help Mrs. Lawes.

Snape looked at John's back, who was vaguely visible at the kitchen door, and then at George, who was busy writing at the dining table. He lowered his head and rolled up the sleeve of his left arm, with a complicated expression.

The author has something to say: Just like what "To the Oak" said, unlike the climbing flowers that use high branches to show off themselves, unlike the infatuated birds that repeat monotonous songs, and unlike the springs that bring cool comfort, she must rely on trees. The image stands with him.

That's what I expect. They just want to stand together as equals and fight side by side.

Their love shouldn't involve Snape protecting John all the time, otherwise Snape would be too tired - he was tired enough.

John is also a man, even if he is not strong enough, he will stand up and fight for Snape and will not back down.

Equality, mutual protection and interdependence of love.

That’s why I wrote the plot of the last few chapters.
