Chapter 329
Chapter 329
If you think that this story can end with "they lived happily ever after", that would be too routine (no
In fact, after Willow Quan was indeed the "other party to the promise" in Snape's mouth, and she showed this incredible combination (fog!) in front of Dumbledore with him, it didn't take long for her to Was summoned again by Dumbledore to the headmaster's office at Hogwarts - alone.
After coming out of the principal's office, Liu Quan had already changed her face—she dressed up as Bigenia, left Hogwarts through the fireplace, and then apparated to the mission location.
By this time, night had fallen.Under the cover of the night, her face was tense and solemn, without a trace of a smile.
The scene she saw in the pensieve in the principal's room earlier was still deeply etched in her mind.
On a dark and moonless night, a grown man stood on the hillside.The man turned in awareness of the presence of the master of this memory - Albus Dumbledore - his wand was tightly clenched in his hand, as if waiting for someone or something; his fear Even Liuquan was infected.
Suddenly, Dumbledore raised his wand, and for a split second there was a blinding, zig-zag flash of white light in the air.The man fell to his knees, his wand flying from his hand.
With that white light, she finally saw clearly that that person was actually Snape.
For a moment, she had only one thought—this scene still happened...why did this scene still happen? !What happened to the direction of the plot?Or, even without Lily as Harry's mother, this plot cannot be changed? !
Objectively speaking, Snape at this time did not have the cold, stern, powerful, and intimidating characteristics he had in the Potions class at Hogwarts.Liu Quan trembled when he heard his voice.
"Do not kill me!"
"That was not my intention." Dumbledore answered him in a cold tone.She listened in disbelief as the kind old wizard spoke to him in a grim tone.
"Well, Severus? What message does Lord Voldemort have for me?"
"No—no message—I came for myself!"
Snape wrung his hands and looked a bit distraught, his black tangled hair flying around his head.
"I - I brought an alarm - no, a request - please -"
"What can a Death Eater ask of me?" Dumbledore asked calmly.
Snape stammered. "That - that prophecy... that prophecy... Trelawney..."
"Ah, yes," said Dumbledore, "how much did you convey to Voldemort?"
"Everything - everything I've heard!" said Snape frantically, "so - because of that - he thought it meant Beryl Foggton!"
He mentioned Harry's mother's name, and Willow shuddered subconsciously.A shiver of confusion, anxiety, incomprehension, and other more complex emotions ran down her spine.
"The prophecy didn't say a woman," said Dumbledore, "it said a boy born at the end of July—"
Snape's voice rose suddenly. "You know what I mean! He thinks it's Beryl's son, and he's going to hunt down Beryl—kill them all—"
"That's interesting," Willow heard Dumbledore say in a tone that bordered on sneering.Perhaps from some indescribable anger, the old wizard's voice was sneering.
"Just last month, I thought Lily Evans was the one who meant a lot to you. That's when you came to me together, and you said it was so heartfelt—what did you say? You wish you could A chance to propose to your childhood friend, the Flower of Gryffindor at Hogwarts?—you are a lucky man, I say, Mr. Snape."
Snape's expression was contorted, pale even in the night.He twitched his lips, evidently unable to speak in defense of himself.
"I don't—I don't know if you understand why, but I...I'm definitely not without reason." Snape finally managed to speak, his voice trembling as if he was trying to hold back It's like suffering great and indescribable pain. "Everything... everything happened so suddenly and unbelievably, I..."
His nostrils fluttered, and his voice stopped abruptly, as if he didn't know how to speak anymore.
"Well, let's put Lily aside for now. A poor fiancée—she must have no idea what you've come to see me for today," said Dumbledore, finally stopping his taunting at Snape, " Since Beryl is so important to you, surely Voldemort will spare her death? Can't you beg him to spare that mother in exchange for her son?"
"I—I begged him—"
"You disgust me," said Dumbledore in a contemptuous tone.Snape seemed to shrink a little. "Then you don't care about the life or death of her husband and children? They can die as long as you can get what you want?"
Snape said nothing, just looked up at Dumbledore.
"Then hide them all," he said hoarsely. "Keep her—their—safe. Please."
"And what will you give me in return, Severus?"
"In -return?" Snape looked at Dumbledore gaping.
After a long time, he struggled to utter a word, a word that almost everyone who watched HP would never forget: "Anything."
This memory ends here.Liu Quan remembered that when he raised his head from the Pensieve, Dumbledore, who was sitting behind the desk, was staring at her side with his hands on his chin.When he saw the expression on her face, there was a gleam of pity and comfort in those wise, gentle blue eyes.
"I think you should know about it anyway," he said softly, with a slightly wary look. "I can't hide the truth from those who should know the truth because Severus plans to secretly join the Order of the Phoenix..."
It seemed to him that the betrayed Flower of Gryffindor had taken a moment to clear her mind.Finally she spoke.
"Thank you very much for thinking so, Professor Dumbledore."
Lily Evans looked up and looked directly at him.Dumbledore found shock and disbelief still in her beautiful green eyes, but her face had regained its composure.The sad expression that had appeared on her face the moment she lifted her head from the Pensieve was gone.
"I had a guess at first—there was some reason for his sudden marriage proposal. Now I think I can probably guess... the mysterious person told him to do it." Her voice even regained her composure, Doing analysis.
"Or the mysterious person thinks that by doing this, he can whitewash the fact that Severus once joined the Death Eaters? Maybe he thinks that when the identities of other Death Eaters are almost exposed and are deeply guarded by others, a Reformed Death Eaters who were not previously involved in their evil deeds could help him gather more information—like you intend Severus to do?"
She said, suddenly smiled and shook her head.
"I was really surprised...but I think this truth is not unbearable for me-because probably in my subconscious, I was prepared for it."
Dumbledore looked at her with a little concern.
"Lily... To be honest, I was a little surprised when you guys came to find me - there are not many things in this world that can surprise me."
The old wizard tried to speak to her in a very gentle tone - very different from his attitude towards Snape.
"At that time, I also found the news that you two were going to get engaged to be unbelievable... But at the time I thought, since you think it's good, what can others say? Severus is the one you grew up with since childhood." My good friend, although his personality is not good, but he has undeniable talent, and I thought..." The old wizard paused for a rare moment before continuing, "...his feelings for you are very sincere of."
He saw a wry smile from the young red-haired woman in front of him.
"Oh, he is," she said.
"...it's hard to explain how it all happened...but you can continue to trust him," she continued, astonishingly.
"And in order to continue to confuse the mysterious person, it doesn't matter if our engagement is not dissolved for the time being. There are always things in this world that are more important than personal feelings... I believe you can understand this."
In Dumbledore's rare surprised expression, she said something even more astonishing tonight.
"Also, if you need someone you can trust to contact him as a member of the Order of the Phoenix, please allow me to recommend—Bigonia Columbine."
……
Putting away the short and inappropriate memories, Liu Quan, who used the [Advanced Disguise Technique], set foot on the hillside outside the village.
At this time, the houses, flowers and trees lit by the Death Eaters in the distance were still burning, bursting into the sky in the deep night.
Against the light, a billowing figure in black robe rushed up from the hillside.The tall figure gradually revealed its full view from under the cover of the hillside, and Liu Quan coughed quickly.
She is now going to pretend to be a completely different person in front of the most famous and best disguised double agent in the HP world, so it's better to be careful to ensure that she will never be exposed from beginning to end.
She coughed, lowered her voice, and quickly came to Snape.
"Albus sent me to meet you." She deliberately only called Dumbledore by his Christian name, as if she knew him very well.
Snape, however, stared at her suspiciously.
In fact, it is no wonder that he has doubts.The fact that Snape joined the Order of the Phoenix was a shocking secret - even an outsider like her with the ability to see the plot did not know the exact time; until he was summoned by Dumbledore earlier today , to learn the truth.
With some precautions, he raised his head slightly, stared at her condescendingly, and said mockingly: "Who are you? A ridiculous clown who wants to take credit from me?"
I have to say that this sentence is really wonderful.If she was a Death Eater he had never met, then whether she had come to test him on Voldemort's orders or not, she would have answered Voldemort's satisfaction in his questioning.If she was really a new member of the Order of the Phoenix as she said, then she would only take his question as a mockery of her eagerness for quick success and quick success.
Too bad she wasn't anyone he imagined.
She is fake Lily.
She said calmly, "Peryl Fogerton—you should be familiar with this name, right?"
His face turned imperceptibly pale for a moment, and an offended light flashed in his gloomy black eyes.
She pretended not to see his expression, and continued to say flatly: "Albus told me that she was the reason you joined the Order of the Phoenix. And I know—and am proficient in—Occlumency, so your secret is very important to me." Safe...Now, can you trust me?"
In the darkness, his lips seemed to twist for a moment, and he finally asked: "...What is the password for the principal's office tonight?"
She was slightly taken aback, and suddenly felt a little funny.
God, what a mess this is all about.The battlefield where the Death Eaters had just ravaged was a mess, and even he didn't look very well—she could tell from his pale face and slightly trembling body that he must be having a bad night—maybe Is it a Cruciatus Curse?Or having to kill with those crazy bloodthirsty people is uncomfortable and disgusting, but you have to do it?
She just wanted to gain his trust as soon as possible and get out of here.Death Eaters were not vegetarians, and if they found out that Snape had come to meet up with an Order member, she thought they would all be in trouble.But his trust is not so easy to gain, and she still can't show her true colors-although she knows he will be convinced by her Lily Evans face, no matter how much he hates her, the robber who stole Lily's body and A thief; but in that case, the answer she wanted would probably never have the chance to actually get it.
That answer would answer the questions he still had about joining the Order of the Phoenix for just one person—James' wife, Harry's mother.
She sighed helplessly, and replied with a little black line: "Everyone loves cockroach piles."
Snape was silent for a moment.
Then he handed something out.When Liu Quan received it, he realized it was a parchment scroll.
"This is what those people... were looking for in Mr. Grantis' house. I couldn't save him, but I managed to find it before anyone else."
Liu Quan lowered his voice.
"Okay. I'll definitely give it to Albus right away," she replied, then hesitated for a moment before adding something.
"Be careful with everything, too."
Probably because of receiving her last words of concern, Snape was silent again.
... just can't get used to caring and kindness from others, Severus?
For some reason, this thought made her feel a little funny for a moment, but also a little apologetic and pity.
"As long as I contact you, I will be in charge. Only Albus and I in the Order of the Phoenix know the fact that you joined, so you can rest assured." She nodded at Snape , However, in such a deep night, just a little light from the fire on the street in the distance, I don't know if he saw it.
Snape snorted, as if to indicate he knew.

February 8:
So there will be a reversal immediately today [being kicked away

=================================
Liu Quan still wants to say something, but now is not a good time to say anything.
Standing on the hillside in the dark night, the flames in the distance seemed to outline a bright outline of the silhouette of the black-robed youth in front of him.
Now she knew that no matter how many times he had to do it again, Severus Snape would still repeat his fate and fall in love with the girl who married James Potter.
Doesn't matter if that girl's name is Lily Evans or not.
When she heard the news from Dumbledore, she was shocked and shocked, as if her brain had been cleaned up for a moment, and her mind was briefly blank.
After thinking about it, she desperately killed the serial CALL system bacteria in her brain, and asked it about the plot of the original novel, but only got a cold sentence "Yes, the plot of the original novel is also the same".
Angrily, she asked the system bacteria, "Then why did you [beep——] get rid of Lily?! The character who looks more supple is replaced by Beryl, right?!", but the answer she got was even more unexpected.
[To sue or not to sue, it can no longer be the final judgment standard.Because everything we do is to save the world.The reason why the player chooses the plot character [Lily Evans] at this time is because the system comprehensively judges that the player can better complete the task as this character.above. 】
By the way, there is also a piece of advice.
[About all the questions raised by the players, some of the answers will not be made public because the answers may affect the stability of the world and the rationality of the strategy process. 】
... Do you think this is Du Niang? If you search, you will come across sensitive words! !
Swallowing a sigh back into his throat, Liu Quan simply said "see you next time" to Snape, then turned and Apparated away.
Since Dumbledore entrusted her with the task of secretly connecting with Snape, they will meet many times in the future.
She would one day figure out why she had taken Lily's place instead of James's, and Snape would still join the Order for the woman who married James.
... Just because it was Harry's mother?If the plot has not been drastically changed, then Harry is still a dangerous target for Voldemort?But Snape wouldn't be so noble as to want to save the mothers of all the boys who fit the prophecy?Like Mrs. Longbottom who was also victimized - Neville's mother, whether in the original book or now, Snape didn't seem to care at all...
What is the inevitable connection between these, so that Snape once again embarked on the same path as the original book?
She will surely find the answer.
