Chapter 791 Ravenclaw’s Blessing

( ) Snape stopped for a full six or seven seconds before he came back to his senses. He slowly raised his head and looked at the statue with unprecedented complexity. The wand appeared silently in his hand.

The Ravenclaw statue turned a blind eye to his vigilant movements and demeanor: "You will not be able to get rid of your regret for her until death, and your pain and regret will follow her to the grave." [Author's Note: In the Victorian period in England, people I like to communicate in the language of flowers. In the language of flowers, each flower has its own specific meaning. Different flowers will have different meanings when combined together. Sun orchid is a type of lily (Lily Evans' name Lily means lily), and mugwort is an herb with a sweet and bitter taste, so it also means bitterness and sadness. In the first Harry Potter book, the Philosopher's Stone, the answer to the potion question asked by Snape to Harry is the above meaning when combined. 】

The wizard, who had been re-opened with the biggest wound in his life, grabbed the lapel of his chest, his hand holding the wand trembling slightly, and his face was full of sadness and regret that almost overflowed.

There was a snap of fingers, and Snape tried to look in the direction of the sound, but the feeling of a foreign object in his palm made him hesitate slightly. He stretched out his hand, spread his palm, and then suddenly opened his eyes. A black diamond-shaped stone with the symbol of the Deathly Hallows in the middle had appeared in his hand. With the snap of fingers coming from the direction of the statue, the stone turned three times in Snape's palm through the air.

At this time, the wizard heard a slight movement behind him. He turned around, his black robe raised in an arc, and stared at the person standing quietly behind him, the person who haunted him in his dreams and made him feel heartbroken. A beautiful witch with long crimson hair and almond-shaped green eyes.

"Lily..." The wizard called the other party's name in a deep, trembling voice. The greasy hair hanging down because of his lowered head made him moan in pain like some kind of wounded beast. His body leaned forward, his hands stretched forward, and his raised face seemed to have spent a hundred years of suffering. His breathing was weak and feeble, until the suffocation made him shake his head violently and let out a sob.

As if he wanted to prove that the person in front of him was not a phantom that would disappear when he woke up, his voice was trembling and suppressed, "Lily, how I wish, I wish it was me who died." Snape's usually cold eyes were now separated by a layer of The painful heat mist made his whole body bend down, as if he could no longer support himself.

"Severus." Lily's green eyes that were exactly the same as her son's met the eyes of the Slytherin wizard. This voice seemed to give the other party infinite courage. His excited and painful cheeks suddenly rose, and his whole body He staggered towards Lily and wanted to hug her, but Lily ducked slightly and he hugged her in vain.

The wizard let himself fall to the ground sluggishly and turned his head, but Lily disappeared in front of him like a phantom bubble. He crawled forward and reached out to hold it back, but all he caught was air. He suddenly looked down at his hands, only to find that the resurrection stone he had previously held in his hands had disappeared.

Professor Snape, who had always been sharp and gloomy in the past, was now kneeling on the ground. The deep-seated regret that had haunted him all his life was pierced the moment he saw Lily, and the arrogance he used to protect himself and distance others disappeared. , Lily was the only light in his life. Lily's sudden disappearance made him confused and completely lost his past magnanimity. He crawled and turned around to face the shrine, kneeling in front of the statue, "Ms. Ravenclaw , please, that Resurrection Stone, that Lily..." The wizard begged in a hoarse voice, "Give it to me, in return, anything will do."

But the shrine didn't answer him right away, and it looked like Ravenclaw had already left.

After a while, "The person who came out of the Resurrection Stone is not the real Lily, at least most of them are not." Ravenclaw's voice broke the silence in the room that almost suffocated the wizard.

The wizard was silent. How could he not know that the Lily just now was not as real as a living body, but much more real than a ghost. Her long hair was spread behind her head, and she was wearing the same clothes she wore when she died that night.

After a moment, Snape's entire figure shrank, "I understand what you mean, wise Ms. Ravenclaw, but please, I need the Resurrection Stone, and I can pay for it." everything."

"You don't need to give everything," Ravenclaw's calm voice seemed to have magic power. At this time, it had a soothing effect. The emotional wizard breathed more freely, and when he began to slowly control his emotions , the statue continued to issue the order, "After the holiday is over, find my elect, and he will guide you."

In front of the shrine that no longer emitted blue light, Snape, realizing that the other party had left, barely restrained himself and rushed to find Alan Harris. Years of experience had taught him to obey orders and be patient.

But when he left St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, he couldn't help but stand in the high corridor and look at Alan who was being interviewed by reporters from a distance.

"Someone has a cold?" Snape half-squinted his eyes. In the chaotic crowd, he just caught a therapist handing Allen several bottles of potions, and then noticed that the phoenix on Allen's shoulder was using His head kept rubbing against Allen's cheek.

Snape stared at the close relationship between Allen and Phoenix without saying a word, hesitating in his heart, but to his horror, he recalled the word electorate. He realized that he had been here for so long, but his daily prayers were still not enough. When Len Harris met, the attitude between Phoenix and Alan Harris was far more intimate than that between Dumbledore and Fawkes. It was not like the first time they met.

Alan Harris himself was sorted into Ravenclaw House, coupled with his recent unscrupulous relationship with the Ravenclaw house ghost, Ms. Gray, and since a few years ago, Ms. Gray refused to be like other students. Like a ghost, providing Dumbledore with news about Ellen...

Dumbledore and he completed the investigation when his father Owen brought him to the Potter Muggle School before the other party entered the first grade. The other party was just an ordinary little wizard with some talent and intelligence, but to their surprise, he After entering Hogwarts, Allen's rapid improvement far exceeded the strength of normal young wizards and even ordinary wizards... Could it be because he had become a Ravenclaw voter long ago?

Snape turned his head and focused his gaze on Katie Bell, who was outside the reporter circle and was watching the interview. He no longer had any doubts about whether Allen and the others could solve the soul fragment in Harry, but what made him even more horrified was However, this series of events made Snape, who has a deep sense of conspiracy, realize the connection between them, "What...what do you want to do?"

Snape, who was in a dream, finally stopped thinking, and he apparated back to a suburban street in Cokeworth, a small town in central England (the original fictional work), where the surrounding environment was very dirty. The streets were full of Muggles dressed as workers, but no one noticed the wizard who suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of them.

Dementors and natural forces created an icy mist that floated over a filthy river. The banks of the river were overgrown with weeds and the ground was full of garbage. A towering huge chimney remains in the abandoned mill, which looks very eerie and ominous. Except for the gurgling whisper of the black river, the surroundings were dead silent, and there was no sign of life. Only a fat fox quietly slipped down the river bank and deftly picked out a few leftover fish and chip wrappers. Look for these high-calorie foods.

This is Cokeworth, where Petunia Evans and Lily Evans and Severus Snape grew up, an industrial town as its name suggests. [Author's Note: The "coke" in cokeworth means "coal"]

The Dursleys arrive at Cokeworth with Harry trying to avoid a letter inviting him to Hogwarts. Maybe Harry's Uncle Vernon, a Muggle, had a romantic idea - as an industrial town, there is no trace of magic here, and letters will not come here. But he should know better; after all, it was here that his wife Petunia's sister Lily grew up to be a talented witch.

The alley in front of Snape was lined with rows of dilapidated brick houses. The windows on the houses looked dark and lifeless in the night. An old railing separated the river from a narrow cobblestone alley. Snape quickly walked through an alley between the houses and turned into another almost identical street. Several street lights were broken. The wizard's figure was sometimes illuminated by the lights and sometimes shrouded in darkness, just like him. The mood is the same at this time.

Snape stopped in front of the last house, UU reading www.uukanshu. netThis is Spider End Alley, and it is also his hometown.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor did not try to brew potions to kill time as usual after returning from St. Mungo's. Instead, he slumped down on a worn and fluffy sofa in the small living room, thinking about everything that had just happened. After a long period of struggle, Snape made up his mind and looked up at the furnishings at home. The environment that he usually never felt uncomfortable now felt like a dark, soft-walled cell.

Several walls are covered with books, most of which are old black or brown leather covers; a candle-lit lamp hangs from the ceiling, casting a dim circle of light, in which a book is placed crowded together. A frayed sofa, an old armchair and a rickety table. This place has a desolate and deserted atmosphere, as if no one usually lives there.

"Lily won't like it..." Snape stood up in a hurry, came to the desk, picked up a quill and dipped it in ink. He decided to renovate his old house and renovate these lifeless old buildings. All the furniture has been replaced. For daily chores and house maintenance, a Mr. Handyman can be ordered, and the wizard TV must also be installed - he thinks this will make it easier to follow the developments of Ellen Harris and Ravenclaw, and obtain Enough information, try to satisfy them, and Lily can stay with her here.

"Ravenclaw bless."
