Harry Potter and the Rebirth

Chapter 566 Finale

Meatball arrived at the correct timeline, where the foursome had just been formed, James and Snape were at loggerheads, Lily was fiddling with her hair, holding her roommate's arm and taking a walk to the Black Lake, and every two steps she saw the five people who were at loggerheads with each other.

One of them was actually Severus.

"You, you're here--" James rubbed his hands. From the first moment he saw Lily, he had unconsciously developed a liking for her.

But Lily now had a bad impression of James, he was just an arrogant and domineering young master. She didn't even look back and left with Severus.

James did not blame Lily, but increased his hatred for Snape. "This weird-looking slug is nothing more than a half-blood who doesn't know his place."

Lupin on the side looked over.

James then realized that his words were inappropriate. He pursed his lips, and every strand of his unruly black hair seemed to be pointing the middle finger to the sky, shouting Merlin's dirty words.

The ball was hiding on one side. It looked left and right and felt that Harry's appearance was a complete genetic mutation, but it didn't matter.

Business matters.

Snape and Lily separated not far away. He was in a very happy mood, just like drinking a bottle of iced cola in summer, exuding freshness and comfort from the inside out.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly came up to him, holding books. They surrounded Snape and dispersed after a while. During this time, he felt his pocket become heavier and a hard object was pressing against his waist.

He reached into his pocket and found a transparent photo ball. There seemed to be images slowly flowing inside, and the facial features of everyone in it began to deform and distort.

Meatball threw it away without thinking too much. He just waited quietly in the castle for two or three days, watching the arrogant Peeves bossing around and the timid Gold Digger staying in the bathroom and refusing to come out.

Sir Nico held the head that was about to fall off and tried to find a way to join the headless people's club. Although it took a long time, it was also very interesting. Meatball had no intention of showing up.

Why is there no movement yet?

It had been lying at the door of the Gryffindor dormitory these past two days. Based on his understanding of Snape, this guy was a vengeful person in a sense.

No, Dumbledore, why hasn't Dumbledore appeared in the castle for so many days?

Meatball always feels that something is wrong with the timeline of this world because of his intervention.

The Voldemort in this world has not yet fully formed. He is still a force that advocates pure blood, and his name is still Tom Riddle.

Snape walked over from not far away with a bad look on his face. When he passed the Gryffindor dormitory, he glared fiercely at the portrait blocking the road, as if he was not satisfied.

Looking at him like this, there is always a sense of frustration as if he has not yet taken revenge.

That shouldn't be the case. I have carefully screened the contents of the photo ball I gave to Snape. Could it be that the gap between him and Lupin is not very deep now?

In order to find out the reason, Meatball decided to take the risk and followed Snape to the Slytherin common room, listening to him being rewarded by Lucius. At the same time, Narcissa took out a small box from a silver bag, which contained an antique ring.

Snape took it without hesitation and put it on his index finger. Lucius laughed and patted his shoulder, and everyone around him was envious and jealous.

"Who knows what kind of luck that guy had, he found something a few days ago and told Lucius immediately, then the two of them went to Dumbledore's office, and then the headmaster left the castle -"

Crackle, clackle, clackle.

Everyone in the hall stared at the four huge holes at the deepest part.

The hourglass belonging to Slytherin suddenly had nearly half more green gems. The number was so large that even the total of Hufflepuff's two semesters combined was not less than that, which was half of this reward.

The Slytherin students present cheered, and a few Gryffindors showed anger, then dragged their companions and ran straight to the office of their own dean. These guys must have used some tricks.

The news that Snape was the biggest contributor spread like wildfire, and many Slaterin people began to be very friendly to him. Although Lily felt a little sad that her house had fallen so far behind, she still sincerely congratulated her friend for finally breaking through the difficulties around him and gaining recognition.

"But what did you do? I won't tell anyone, but can you tell me something in secret?" Lily lay in front of Snape, with her thumb against the upper part of her little finger. Her fair skin swayed in front of Snape's eyes, making him a little dazed.

He pursed his lips.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you now. This matter has been promised to Headmaster Dumbledore and he needs protection."

"Okay then..." Lily spread her hands helplessly, pouted, and looked at Snape pitifully. In fact, she still had a good impression of this silent but extremely reliable guy.

Snape watched his goddess leaving and had no choice but to use his ultimate move. He reached his hand into his ring, where there was a small space hidden, containing many rewards given to him by Lucius, as well as the big man behind Lucius.

"Don't go, Lily. I'll give you something."

Lily turned around curiously and watched her usually gloomy friend blushing for the first time. Her usual gloomy temperament disappeared completely as the boy's eyebrows softened and his cheeks flushed.

Meatball witnessed the whole process and cried out, "Oh no! Will the butterfly ruin Harry's birth?" That was not what he meant.

So what happened?

Lily was very happy when she took the thing Snape gave her. It was not gold, silver, jewelry, or books, but two simple magic props.

The power is very small. It can even be said that even if these things are placed right under the noses of the people in the Ministry of Magic, they are too lazy to open their eyes.

It's just something really unique and good for Muggles.

"I... I wasn't very nice to Penny before, but... but I found this and I can give it to her when I go back on vacation. I believe if you... you——"

The clever Snape, as long as he put aside his previous prejudices and stubbornness, was able to detect the conflict between Lily and Petunia.

The best way to deal with Lily is to start from the area that he cares about.

"Damn it! The cunning old bat inspector!" Meatball cursed inwardly, but it didn't have much time left in this world. In the normal timeline, it couldn't appear in front of people.

"No, Dumbledore and Voldemort are the key. If Voldemort insists on completing his plan, then this world line will return to normal sooner or later."

Meatball crawled to Dumbledore's side in a panic, and with the idea of ​​creating a rift between the two of them, he followed the old bee out of Hogwarts. The two met in a room in the Hogsmeade village tavern.

The talks were quite secretive.

Dumbledore took out an agreement from the document bag he carried with him. It was a letter of appointment for the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

He was looking at Tom Riddle with some vigilance at this moment. This former student of his had been causing a lot of trouble in the wizarding world recently.

Tom was extremely happy at this moment. To be precise, this was a kind of happiness and fulfillment that his long-cherished wish had finally come true.

"This is for next semester. I hope you will have time to come to school and teach the children seriously by then."

"Why did you suddenly agree? I remember you rejected me before." Tom was a little perverted at this time, but because the number of splits was not large, he could still control his soul and emotions.

Dumbledore did not explain the reason, but warned Tom, "I will assign someone to be your assistant when the time comes. I hope we can work together well."

"That's natural."

Handsome Tom showed off his tall figure, looking particularly elegant. Having accomplished his mission, he didn't care about the hidden meaning in Dumbledore's words.

It's nothing more than trust.

I successfully obtained the old guy's secret when I was a teenager. For this old bee who has already let down his guard, wouldn't it be easy for me to take it?

I just need to stop what I've been doing recently. After all, I'm teaching at Hogwarts, and if others say I'm a teacher here, I don't want to tarnish the reputation of this school.

Tom thought to himself that maybe he should change his path. Perhaps Minister of Magic would be a good choice. With the support of the Malfoy family, he might even be able to become the next headmaster of Hogwarts.

As for Muggles.

Now that he has become the headmaster, fame, power, and all kinds of invisible benefits have come. Dadi can interfere with the International Wizarding Confidentiality Agreement like Dumbledore.

This is indeed a good way. At this time, Tom thought of his good friend Abraxas, and his heart softened a little.

"No, no, how can you shake hands and make peace?"

The ball of meat rushed out and went straight to the place where Tom and Dumbledore were shaking hands.

The silver thread squirmed madly, wrapping up the two of them in an instant. It wanted to plant a subconscious mind in the two people's hearts in a very short time, and then withdraw. The laws of this world have begun to expel it, and it is not suitable to stay any longer.

Because it is the guy who often walks on the tightrope, it knows best how to balance its desires and risks.

However, if you walk along the shore all year round, your feet will get wet.

Both Tom and Dumbledore felt the shock at that moment, and then the whole world returned to normal, but there was an inexplicable connection between the two people.

"you--"

Dumbledore knew very clearly what Tom was thinking, and so did Tom.

The two of them are sitting in their current position. Sometimes, layers of masks are the greatest protection for oneself. Exposing one's thoughts to others without any cover is like running on the street with bare pants.

But at the same time, they became the people in the world who understood each other best.

Dumbledore was surprised to find that Tom did not have the evil thoughts of destroying the world as he had expected, but was actually an ambitious and loving person.

He was missing his friend Abraxas at this time.

For Dumbledore, there was nothing better than knowing this news. He was not worried about doing anything excessive for someone who had love in his heart.

Tom was also surprised to find that the old guy who disliked him and wanted to drive him away actually wanted him to have love in his heart.

It is tantamount to a world war between two countries, and the demands of each side are very outrageous. One demands that orange lollipops must not be produced, and the other demands that only salty rice dumplings can be eaten.

Both of them were silent. Smart people understood that perhaps their future might have a different color.

Just over a decade later, the day they had been waiting for finally came and they were brought to a strange world by an unknown force, where Tom had become Voldemort.

The meatball escaped at that moment, and then it realized that all its seemingly arbitrary actions were just the course of fate.

All the deviations were just previews, all the mistakes were just tracks. It watched Dumbledore suddenly change, watched the dark shadow slowly condensing under his feet, and watched Harry, who was lying on the stairwell at the familiar No. 4 Privet Drive, Whitley, Surrey, slowly open his eyes.
