Chapter 202 6.10 Part 1 (Catching Insects)
The mother that Harry had only seen in photographs, statues, and memories triggered by dementors was now walking gracefully towards her, with a loving smile on her face that made Harry want to cry for no reason.
She brushed her long hair back and walked over to Harry, those same green eyes stared at Harry's face hungrily, as if she could never get enough of it.
"You..." Harry's voice was dry, "Are you real?"
Lily blinked and shook her head, "I'm just a part of you, no one else can see it."
Harry suddenly didn't know what to say. The words she had said to her mother in the cupboard to relieve her hunger in her imagination seemed superfluous at this moment. She looked at her mother heartily, as if she felt that she would be here forever Just looking at her is enough.
But, thinking of the reason why Dumbledore gave him this stone...
"You're trying to persuade me to forgive him, aren't you?" Harry asked softly.
Lily shook her head again, and as the afterglow of the setting sun dimmed further, her mother's figure became clearer.
"I think—maybe I'm wrong—what's causing you the most pain now is not your hatred for Professor Snape, but your inability to carry this hatred through to the end." Lily said calmly and gently, still using He looked at Harry lovingly.
"I'm afraid..." Harry paused, and took a deep breath, "I'm afraid to continue talking about this with him—if he said that he only revealed the prophecy to Voldemort because he didn't know that the victim would be you." ..."
Harry closed his eyes, "I will despise him even more because of this, because no matter what, he is responsible for the death of a baby and a family."
"...I always feel that if I forgive him, I will be sorry to you, I'm sorry to you and Dad." Harry finally looked up and looked at his mother with a heartbreaking and sad expression.
"I won't make any excuses for him." Lily covered Harry's face.
Harry closed his eyes, hoping to feel the touch, but his mother's hand was like air...
"We are no longer here. This is your own life." Lily said, "I can't tell you what you should or shouldn't do—what you have done is much better than we can imagine, and I and Your father is extremely proud of you. I only hope that your life will not be restricted because of me and your father, you are free, and you have no obligation to us."
"I hope that you will not be blinded by hatred, you can seize every opportunity to make yourself happy, and don't leave any regrets. Your happiness is what I care most about."
"Forgive Snape, or continue to hate him—whatever you choose to do and how you do it, we'll support you," Lily said finally.
Harry chewed on Lily's words.
"You said that you are a part of me." She turned to her mother, "Are these words what I want to say to myself?"
"To a certain extent, it is, but magic is wonderful, Harry," Lily smiled, "I am also a part of your mother." She looked up at the half-dark sky, "It's getting late, you should go back Now, your friends must be very worried."
Harry nodded, but in the end, he didn't understand what the mother's soul was like.
***************
In the Gryffindor Tower, Harley received a weeping welcome from Queenie and Hermione, saying that if she took such risks again, she would let Mr. Wayne take her back to the United States.Ron was also agitated, but he got himself under control and told Halle that she had come last on the second hurdle.Hermione hit Ron on the head with the book and said who cares about the competition now!
Harry spent a few days in a daze, and later she learned from Queenie that Dumbledore and the Aurors rescued Umbridge from the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office according to the dead man's information-she really in that big box.However, due to the Cruciatus Curse of the Carlo brothers and sisters, although she is alive, she has gone crazy and is now placed in St. Mungo's Hospital.
Karkaroff was also swapped, and the real Headmaster Durmstrang was imprisoned on his own big ship. His situation was slightly better, because the Karol brothers needed information about Durmstrang to be able to study at the school. Surrounded by students, he tries to minimize his flaws, and he is also smart enough to know how to use his value to the Carroll brothers and sisters to protect himself.
Not long after being rescued, Karkaroff ran away, and it is said that he hid in a deep mountain in Central Europe.Hermione said that Krum was angry, both at Voldemort and at his own irresponsible headmaster, but he would insist on leading the remaining students to finish the game.
Old Barty Crouch also got rid of the control of the Death Eaters and even Voldemort himself under the Imperius Curse. He resigned and confessed to the Ministry of Magic that he and his wife had rescued their son from Azkaban.
And Dumbledore also regained the trust and admiration of the wizarding world because of the fact that Voldemort was indeed resurrected.
As for Harley herself, after Rita Skeeter's report on the decapitated Voldemort, besides "The Girl Who Lived", she gained another terrible title-"Salvation". Star".It bothered her a lot.Some people even directly suggested that the third stage of the Triwizard Tournament should not be compared, and the trophy should be given directly to Harry Potter.Of course, the organizers of the competition did not do this, and the students of the other two schools would not be happy.
Only a few people know that Voldemort is still not completely dead.
***************
"You didn't go to Potions class today." Queenie hugged the book, and found Harley who was hiding in the curtain and doing homework in the girls' dormitory. "Actually, Potions class is the place where you are most likely to find peace. Believe me, no one would be so bold as to ask for your autograph in front of Snape."
Harry groaned and said nothing.
"Are you still arguing with him?"
"It's not a quarrel!" Harry protested. "You're making it sound like I'm the only one making trouble! It's a principle...a principle!"
Dumbledore once mentioned to Grandpa Afu that besides Harley, there was another boy born at the end of July who might be chosen by Voldemort.It's not difficult to find out this information, it's Neville...
But look at how Snape treated Neville - the boy he nearly killed, with relentless intimidation in every class!
Queenie pursed her lips, with a hesitant expression, but she finally spoke, "Snape said before the end of get out of class today... this is his last class."
Harry raised an eyebrow.
"He resigned. The exact words are, I've had enough of you idiots." Queenie shrugged, "But I guess... the reason lies with you. Because there are idiots every year, why did you resign this year?"
Harry sat up straight on the bed, "Lestrange and other Death Eaters are still fleeing, he resigned now...isn't he afraid of being hunted down?"
"You have to ask him yourself, I don't know." Queenie spread her hands, "The public room is holding a 'Farewell Potion Old Bat' party, Fred and George stole a lot of snacks from the kitchen, Do you want to participate?"
Of course Harley wasn't at the party, and she didn't... go straight to the Potions Master.She went to the principal first.
Dumbledore smiled, and only said that he approved Snape's resignation, "The right to resign is clearly stipulated in the Labor Law, Harry, I have no position to stop it."
Harley really wants to roll her eyes, and talk about labor laws with me at this time...
There was no other way, so Harry had to go to the Potions Master's office.The closer she got, the more hesitant her footsteps became. If it wasn't driven by willpower, she would have run away in a flash...
She gritted her teeth and knocked on the door. She couldn't let Snape leave Hogwarts because of his resignation and be killed by Bellatrix.
"Go away, I've resigned from answering any stupid questions about potions. In a word, you're all untalented!" Snape's indifferent voice sounded from behind the door.
Harry continued to knock a few more times.The Potions Professor opened the door angrily, "I told you to get lost... oh... it's you."
The anger on his face hadn't disappeared in time, and he was completely confused and shocked at this moment, as if he didn't understand Harry's appearance very much.
"Uh, it's me." Harry touched his nose, not knowing what to say next, she wanted to run away even more.
Snape also froze at the door.The awkward atmosphere almost turned into reality.
In the end, a few pointing Slytherin students passing by broke the rigidity of the two of them.
"What are you looking at! Go back to the dormitory! I'm still your headmaster!" After a few roars, Snape turned sideways and let Harry into the office.
This is the first time the two have faced each other since their outbreak.No one thought about the sofa or the seat, they just stood there dumbfounded.
"Now...is not a good time to resign, someone is going to kill you outside." After a long silence, Harry said dryly, looking at a pattern on the carpet.
"I can handle it." Snape's answer was also simple.
"If you resigned because of me and lost your life in the end, this responsibility is too great for me. I hope you can think about it again."
"Not... because of you." Snape cleared his throat.
Harry exhaled, only to realize that he had been holding his breath since entering the office.
Her shoulders slumped, "I...I'm not a person who is not grateful. I can sort out...all the sacrifices you have made to me over the years-wait, it's too narcissistic to say that... ..." Harry moved the corner of his mouth, "I understand what you have done, and it is also for the righteous side."
"Philosophers and Chicken Soup have said that young people make mistakes—I make mistakes too, and you probably do too...just, I really," Harry paused, "really can't act like everything right away. It never happened...it will take time. "
"So, can you at least not resign for now?" Harry was still unwilling to look up, "Give me some time."
Snape looked at the top of Harry's hair, the position of the swirl was the same as Lily's...
He also breathed a sigh of relief, "The problem is, Harry, I can't forgive myself."
