"Some secrets are worth keeping, even if you have to die for it"
***************************************
Severus went straight away to that address with Noworry sitting on his shoulders and soon spotted an old hut.
The house of the old lady was very simple with less or you could say no facilities. There were trees around the house which were in full bloom. Despite being a simple house, the location of the old lady's home was very beautiful.
Severus waited for 5 minutes while examining the surroundings. The place where the old lady lived was far away from the local town area. It was odd for an old lady to live alone, on top of that living alone in the wilderness. When Severus saw that there was no one near the house, he knocked on her gate.
Severus waited patiently for someone to open the door but after waiting for several minutes no one opened it He knocked again but there was no response. He was going to knock again when the door opened from inside.
An old lady wearing tattered clothes greeted his site and from the hand gestures, he knew that she was blind
" Hello grandma. I am Severus", Severus greeted her with a smile.
The old lady became confused after hearing the voice of a stranger." Sorry, mister, I didn't recognize you"
" Yes, yes you don't know me, but I have some questions for you". Severus asked in non-chalance
"What questions do you have for someone who is old and blind. Hey lad, are you here creating trouble for me? Or mocking me for my disability?" the old lady asked in annoyance
"No grandma, I am not here for mocking you or creating troubles for you. I am just curious by passers-by and heard something from people, so I came here to confirm my doubts if you don't mind." The old lady looked at him suspiciously but this time she didn't reject him.
"Come inside ", the old lady offered.
Severus entered the house and to his surprise, he found that the old lady's house was decently decorated from inside.
Severus sat on a cushioned sofa while the old lady served him some tea and crackers.
" Grandma let's get straight to the point. If you don't mind me being Blunt? "Severus asked straightaway. He didn't want to stall time as he was running short on time.
The old lady's hand which was holding the cup shook slightly and her expressions froze for a moment before returning to the nonchalance
" Sure. Go-ahead."
"What do you know about the massacre which took place 26 years ago?" Severus asked with a straight face.
" I know the same what everyone knows", the old lady replied calmly.
"Fair enough", Severus replied
" So, what do you know about Nesseyes language?" Severus questioned her.
The old lady flustered but she denied the question and replied," I don't know what you are talking about "
"The day was the Black Day in the history of Resen town"
" That day was the Black Day in the history of reason town"
" That day was Black Day in the history of reason town"
Severus repeated this sentence like a spell.
The cups shattered and the old lady looked at him like she was looking at some monster.
"How...H…...how?" she stuttered.
"How the heck do you know about this?", she asked in Madness
On seeing her madness Severus didn't fear instead he just remained quiet.
The old lady heaved in anger and stared at Severus with resentment and anger.contemporary romance
" Blood moon shone high up in the sky
Reflecting the bloody thirst of him
floating dandelions of daffodils
took the souls Away "
" What lovely poetry isn't it grandma?", Severus grinned.
The thin strand of rationality and patience which the old lady was storing was finally broken and she asked through gritted teeth, " How the heck in the world do you know about this poetry? "
