Chapter 946 [Chapter 5] 31
Liu Quan was a little surprised.
Of course she knew what Dumbledore said to Snape—although Dumbledore's original words were not so sharp and cruel—but, in fact, she was determined to make sacrifices to agree with Dumbledore. In exchange.She still remembered that in the principal's office at that time, after finishing the discussion, the old wizard sitting behind the table, with his right hand scorched black and his face a bit haggard, stared at her with pity, shook his head, and said, "Oh, my child, I'm so sorry.
Yes, she regrets too.It's a pity why it all turned out like this.Her task was originally not so complicated, but in the end, she was pushed to kill Sli by the powerful plot and irreversible fate.
She has experienced different lives and different worlds, but she has never had to carry out tasks with such a strong sense of guilt and such a low favorability as now.Even in Xinshou Village, the world that was messed up by Zhenxin Yachan, those teenagers were frank and sunny, straightforwardly pursuing their dreams, expressing their feelings for her frankly, and in the end, frankly To show their support for her—
That is, even if you are running on the tennis court at night, your heart is full of light.Very different from now.Now, even though she was standing in the daylight under the sun, she felt that the overwhelming darkness was sweeping around her, as if it was going to drown the whole world.
Therefore, in order to prevent the world from being swept by the darkness that seems to swallow everything, something must be done.
Therefore, it doesn't matter if you have to complete the task with his condemning gaze and resistance attitude from beginning to end.Because she didn't come here to gain favorability, she was for a higher goal—in a sense, a higher goal than "defeating the Dark Lord".
Therefore, she could also just watch how painful Snape was after hearing Dumbledore's words. His face was even distorted in pain, his face was pale, and his expression was unbelievable.He asked the old headmaster with difficulty: what about me?Where is my soul?
...So, even though she was full of sympathy for him and wanted to help him, she just stood aside in the end, telling herself silently in her heart: These are the prices that must be paid to achieve the ultimate goal.
She didn't know at this moment whether Snape would regret not believing her advice because he was too angry at her deceit, and she didn't know that during the days when "Lily Evans" hadn't appeared, he was It's not that I ever think of the pleasant or unpleasant things that happened in those days-but it's too late.
There was no turning back. From the moment he stood in front of the fireplace of this house and said to her coldly, "Everything is over. It's everything, Everything", they have actually parted ways and strode towards Going forward, rushing in different directions, like two straight lines that once intersected, after a brief convergence at the intersection, there is a separation that will never be seen again.
She wondered that she could still look back at him so calmly at this moment, and said in a low and clear voice: "Yes. I hope that what little reason you have left can remind you not to make unnecessary sacrifices. Since you have been in front of Dumbledore Sworn to take on this, you can't just walk away. Many people have sacrificed their lives to get this situation to where it is now, and you are the one closest to seeing the victory and making sure we won it so hard The one who can last forever. Since Dumbledore chose you to accomplish all this, you have no right to waste your life arbitrarily."
Snape pursed his lips and seemed to sneer in the darkness.
"Ah, of course, of course." His deep and silky voice sounded very close above her head, "You are all a bunch of lunatics who can even play with their own lives for the so-called victory and 'best interests' , I understand. In a sense, your madness is not much different from...'those people'." He said mockingly.
Liu Quan lowered his eyes, because he felt that he really had nothing to say.
He was right.Dumbledore did arrange his own death in advance, and the blow to Snape from this arrangement seemed to be permanent, and even with the just premise of "for the highest purpose", it did not make him die. How much better; that sense of guilt can never be washed away, she knows——
"...I really don't want to obey that old bee's arrangement anymore." He said with self-loathing, with slight self-mockery and self-contempt.
"He will never tell you what is the meaning and purpose behind the things you are asked to do. You just blindly trust his judgment and arrangements, until finally he runs to put that terrible ring on his right hand... "
"Maybe it's part of the story... part of the plan, Severus," she whispered, his body stiffening visibly.
"His plan is to let the people Harry believes die one by one, to pile up Harry's hatred for 'that person', and his determination to devote himself... For a 17-year-old child, if there is no such thing as too huge to bear Grief and guilt, he would not easily think of giving up his life to end all of this..." She continued to speak calmly.
"You know it's his mission—Albus's mission, Harry's mission. You have your own mission, Severus. A man's mission, and only he can fulfill it. Others, get to the bottom of it." , is of no use to him."
Snape was silent for a long time before he slowly said: "So, you also know Dumbledore's plan? You... also agree with his plan? Send Harry Potter to die?..."
She shook her head slightly and replied quietly, "You know it's not a matter of me disagreeing, Severus. 'The man' started it all with hate, he hated the world to conquer it The world wants everyone to fear him and prostrate at his feet... so Harry must end it all with love, to sacrifice his life bravely for those he loves, like his... mother Same--"
Perhaps at the mention of Beryl Potter - the real Lily Evans - Snape visibly shuddered.He took a step back suddenly, opening the distance between him and her—although the distance was not very close in the first place.
... He really still loves the real Lily.Liu Quan thought.
So... Now that he knew that Ginny was now the real Lily's body, why did he continue to lurk in the darkness so peacefully, planning to sacrifice everything, including his life, for Lily's son?
Liu Quan wanted to continue exploring.But now is obviously not a good time.She must first convince this man not to sacrifice herself blindly, lest in the event of having to sacrifice, she still fails to save the world after her heroic devotion in vain—deducting points is a small matter, and she can’t even go home, see Looks don't matter that much anymore; she just can't sit back and watch all the good people in this world disappear with the world, that's all—
She sighed softly, straightened her back slowly, and looked directly at him calmly.In the darkness, his pale complexion was more distinct than everything else in the room.With the moonlight coming through the window, she could see his tense face and gloomy expression.
She said calmly, "And, you're not doing things blindly to Albus's orders. You're keeping your word, Severus. You have a vow to keep... finish it, don't do it halfway. You did It's all about your own choices, your own beliefs... that's more important than anything else. Listen, you have to live. When the Death Eaters finally attack Hogwarts, your disguise will be Removed - don't listen to 'the man' again, and if possible, abandon him, go back to Hogwarts, give your memory to Harry Potter, and fulfill Albus' last order."
Snape didn't speak for a moment.The only sound in the room was the heavy breathing of the two of them.
In the end, he sneered lightly, breaking the awkward silence that had begun.
"I didn't know that the Columbang family also had the blood of prophets." He said tactfully, Liu Quan knew that this voice and tone indicated that he hadn't shown any sincerity when talking to her, he was either already angry, or he wanted to make excuses off topic.
Liu Quan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and decided to give it a go.
"I have a secret about Beryl - a big secret. But I'll only tell you on the day of the final battle." She said clearly, clearly hearing Snape gasp in surprise Take a breath.
"So you'd better try to live until the end of the day. Otherwise, you'll never know the secret."
Almost instantly Snape took a step forward and grabbed her hand.She felt his cold fingers tightly gripping her wrist.
"Who—who told you?!" His voice was extremely unsteady, and she could feel his chaotic and angry mood at the moment.This is an extremely rare thing for him who has always been calm and ruthless in the face of others in adulthood—especially members of the Order of the Phoenix who don't have a deep personal relationship like her.He could be irritated by "Bigonia", but it was the first time that a single word from Bigonia could easily cause his self-control to collapse.
"Who told you this secret about...about Beryl, so that you have an excellent opportunity to threaten me now?!"
Liu Quan gasped lightly.
There was a dull pain in her wrist; she was pale with sickness and surprise, and only her dark eyes were shining on her face.
Merlin, she knew that threatening him with the real Lily was never a good idea before she said it, but it was beyond her expectation to trigger such a violent emotional backlash from him.
But now she has no turning back.She had to grit her teeth and persevere.
And she doesn't want to regret it either.
Had he hesitated a little at the last moment because he thought of her little threat, so that he could have a slight chance to withdraw from the chaotic deadlock, then her adventure today would not have been in vain .
It was supposed to be a warm and beautiful Christmas Eve.However, what remains between them now is only the cold atmosphere, and the pale moonlight, through the gray glass window, casts on the wooden floor in front of them, leaving strange shadows.
Finally, she broke the frozen silence, and said softly, "It's Evans. Lily Evans."
