Chapter 977 [Chapter 5] 62
Later - after that day, and the many days that passed in futile effort - Dumbledore did tell Snape a lot.
Including the agreement and exchange conditions between him and that Lily, including why he and that Lily created a fictional character named "Bigonia Columbon"—
Even including some minor details.For example, Dumbledore told him why that Lily chose to enter the Ministry of Magic after graduating from Hogwarts.
Because she told Dumbledore that she was going to be an Auror, just like the real Lily who decided to fight for justice alone.
Ah, no, how could she look like the real Lily.If the crazy story unfolded in his dream is the truth as the truth should be presented-then the megalomaniac James Potter should have been with her until the end, in order to protect her and her before she died. Their son - that Harry Potter - died.
But not Bigonia.She didn't choose James Potter like the real Lily, and she didn't alienate him like the real Lily—
And the real Lily isn't struggling alone like she is.
Thinking about it now, even though she did not reveal her identity as the real Lily, Beryl still had a husband, a son, and friends by her side—but that latecomer, Lily, whom no one actually knew her real name, no matter who she met Whatever difficulties and twists and turns you encounter, you can only face them by yourself.
Dumbledore did see her as an important student and backbone of the Order - but Dumbledore had too many things and people to worry about.She doesn't seem to have any other friends at Hogwarts who can extend her friendship long after graduation, although she seems to be very kind to everyone; but that kindness is like a gentle barrier, separating her from everyone else. exist.Snape thought about it carefully now, and found that the existence she could slightly call a "friend" besides himself - although he was reluctant to admit it - was actually the big black dog, Sirius Black !
Yet Sirius Black also didn't give her a lot of time and attention.In the student days, although they were both Gryffindors, the trouble-making skills of the Predator Four seemed to make that Lily angry more than once, which is not to say how solid a foundation of friendship could be built; after graduation, although the two of them They are both Aurors and new members of the Order of the Phoenix, but Sirius seems to prefer to hang out with his good buddy James, and James has been categorically rejected by that Lily, so there is something between the two of them. Embarrassment - so Sirius' position was even more delicate.And in the final analysis, as a high-spirited young man at that time, Sirius Black may have many aspects in his heart that should be paid attention to and attracted; Lily Evans, an ordinary friend from school days, is really nothing...is it?
Then, everyone was misled by the conspiracy of that Wormtail, and Sirius was sent to Azkaban as the criminal who killed James and Beryl; Hiding in hiding, and finally regaining his freedom, within two years, the messy thing in the Department of Mysteries happened... So even though he hated that stupid dog, he had to admit that even if that stupid dog made such a mess "Pretending to be a fiancé so as to inherit the Blake house" was a poor drama, and he wasn't any closer or knew Lily any better than anyone else—
Just as Snape was frowning, trying to clarify the proposition [Lily's relationship], suddenly, a burst of green flames burst from the fireplace in the principal's office.Aberforth Dumbledore's face emerged from the flames, and he yelled at Snape impatiently: "Hey! If you have time, come to the Hog's Head Bar, Arianna said there is something for you! "
Snape's thinking was interrupted, but he quickly came back to understand the meaning of this sentence, and stood up abruptly from the chair in the principal's office.However, after shouting these words, the flame in the fireplace suddenly dimmed and went out.Aberforth's face disappeared from the fireplace.
Snape's eyes turned from the fireplace to the portrait of Dumbledore who was dozing on the wall with his chin resting on his head, and his head was lowered, bit by bit, he seemed to be asleep.
Dumbledore opened his eyes instantly, as if Snape's gaze was an annoying alarm clock.He stared at Snape, smiling, waiting for him to speak.
Snape looked as if he was about to be driven mad by the three Dumbledore brothers and sisters, he managed to let out a breath, suppressed the roar that was about to burst out of his mouth, and asked in an extremely calm tone: "Your sister is going to give me what?"
Dumbledore shrugged that he didn't know either, and urged him to go to the Hog's Head as soon as possible.He wore half-moon glasses crookedly on the bridge of his nose that had been broken several times, and a pair of blue eyes shone behind the lenses.He said with interest, "Ariana doesn't give people things very often - not once, in fact, since she entered the portrait... Severus, I'm looking forward to what she will give you. Oh... ...Don't worry, Ariana is a good kid and will never give you some pranks-"
Snape snorted, ignored Dumbledore, turned and stepped into the fireplace.
He'd wager that the fireplace in the Hog's Head hadn't been cleaned for at least a few years.He had to clean himself up first, so that when he saw the little girl in the portrait, he would not look so bad and disrespectful.
But none of this seemed necessary.Aberforth ignored him at all, and just pointed to the fourth floor, which meant that he should go up by himself, and there was resentment written on his face, "You came here last time, you acted like you understood the structure of this place very well" and so on.
Snape didn't bother to argue with him anymore, and quickly went up to the fourth floor, only to find that Ariana was still in the portrait above the fireplace.
Seeing him coming, Ariana showed a short smile, probably because Aberforth was not there, she seemed a little timid, and she didn't dare to look directly at Snape's unflattering face, He just lowered his gaze, pointed to the old book on the mantelpiece, and murmured in a voice as thin as a mosquito gnat: "That...that's for you."
Snape patiently thanked her as politely as possible, but it only made her look more reserved and tense.Arianna hugged the book in her arms tightly in the portrait, lowered her head and rubbed the corner of her skirt uneasily, and added in a low voice: "I...I mean, there is a piece of paper in that book...the paper Paper, I think, sir . . . you should look at it."
Snape took the book down and looked at it. It was the most common culinary magic book "The Magic of Baking Bread".The cover of the book was covered with a thin layer of dust, the pages were turned in a mess, and even had rough edges, and the paper was yellowed. It seemed that it had been frequently read by people, and it was so dilapidated that it was out of shape.If Ariana hadn't added something just now, telling him that the piece of paper in the book was what she was going to give him, he would have thought that all this was a business plan created by the three Dumbledore brothers and sisters. nasty joke.
He opened the book as carefully as he could, and sure enough there was a piece of parchment in one of the pages.The parchment was also dusted a little, but it looked much better than the book—and most importantly, he recognized the handwriting on it.
He raised his head suddenly and stared at the portrait above the fireplace.Arianna seemed taken aback by his actions, and involuntarily took a step back in the frame.
Snape realized that the little girl was not mentally stable in the first place, and if he frightened her, he wouldn't be able to ask anything, and the angry Aberforth and Albus Dumbledore would join forces to bring her back. He shreds.
He took a deep breath, tried to ease his expression, and even smiled at the portrait, asking as gently as possible: "Miss Dumbledore, this piece of paper...is Lily Evans Did you stay?"
He brought up Lily, which made Ariana seem to feel better.She cautiously stood a little further away, as if she was about to escape from the frame at any time, and answered him in a low voice: "Yes... yes. This is what Lily left for me before she left here for Hogwarts."
Snape waited patiently for her to finish.Maybe it was his silence that made her feel that he was not so dangerous at last, she continued to explain after stumbling: "We...we have chatted together many times, once she recited this poem to me, I...I think It was touching. That day... you could see she was nervous. Me... Aberforth and I tried to talk her out of taking the risk at Hogwarts. But... but she said she had someone she had to save— I think that's you, sir."
Snape's black eyes were instantly ablaze with a pale and bright flame.He looked like he was pissed off.But in order not to frighten Ariana, he quickly lowered his head, seemed to be staring at the paper in his hand, and hummed, indicating that he was listening to Ariana's narration seriously.
Arianna probably wanted to end this frightening conversation as soon as possible, and her speech became very fast, almost speaking in one breath.
"In order to relieve her tension, I suggested that she help me read the poem again, so she magically wrote the poem on this piece of paper, and then glued it to the wall opposite my picture frame. On. Shortly after the recitation, she left and never came back...then...the next day, the piece of paper also fell off the wall..."
Snape's right hand holding the paper suddenly convulsed, and clear veins emerged on the back of his tense hand.He managed a hoarse "Thank you, thank you very much, Miss Dumbledore" through gritted teeth, and said nothing more;
Ariana appears to have escaped from the frame.
The author has something to say:
February 7:
Let me explain first, according to everyone’s comments yesterday, I decided to write all the abuse memes I thought about.
If you don't like it, you can skip it, I think ten chapters can almost finish w
What Ariana showed the professor was the long poem called "The Song of Narcissus".
The girl and Ariana discussed the poem, and finally used a sticking spell to stick the paper with the poem on the wall, in Chapter 942.
Everyone should know why the paper fell off the wall.
[Also, let me explain, I updated the content of the HP episode in Chapter 310,
Because I think the content of the original episode is still suitable to be placed in the main text, so that the emotional development will be more continuous.
So I replaced that chapter with a new episode! !The number of words is also a little more than the previous episode w
The background is assuming that the girl is the same as the previous worlds, if she has 24 hours to say goodbye to the professor after completing the task, what will she say hhh
So everyone can go back and watch the new episode, is it a little bit of sugar? 】
