[Comprehensive British and American] Painting ghosts

Recently, there was an extremely explosive news among the Hogwarts first-year students——

The Gryffindor first-year foursome made up with Snape of Slytherin!Blake and Snape even gave each other portraits, were named and praised by Professor Shen in the art appreciation class, and their works were exhibited!

In that class, all the little wizards felt that the sun was coming out of the west, and their jaws were broken.

James looked at Sirius's "extremely handsome but hard to recognize that this is actually a snot" Snape, and looked at Sirius in shock, feeling that his world view had been refreshed.

Sirius and Snape's small faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot - Professor Shen didn't say before that he would put these eye-catching paintings on display in class!

After class, the young wizards teamed up in groups of three and discussed the suffocating operations of Black and Snape.And Sirius was trying his best to explain this matter to his friends, while Snape took his textbooks and ran back to the cellar early. Even Lily didn't get any explanation from him, and could only go on under the drive of curiosity. Listen to Sirius' explanation.

Sirius spoke eloquently in the corridor about what had happened.

"Wait..." James listened, suddenly feeling something was wrong. "What did Snape report?"

"Didn't Professor Shen call you into the office to criticize you because Snape reported that you bullied him?" Sirius wondered. "Otherwise, how did you change your gender? Don't tell me you really don't like it..."

James covered Sirius' mouth, his face flushed, and he took a peek at Lily who was standing aside.

It was only then that Sirius noticed that he had almost revealed the secret of his good brother, so he quickly changed the subject: "...I don't like bullying snot-nosed people anymore."

"I... I just think it's wrong to bully others. We are still students, and the legitimate competition should be to beat him in terms of academic performance!" James blushed, and finally came up with a high-sounding reason, and then peeked at One look at Lily. "It's not because of the snot... Snape snitched!" He said the last sentence in a very low voice.

Sirius couldn't restrain his mentality that was about to explode, grabbed James by the shoulder, said in a low voice and gritted his teeth: "Why didn't you say it sooner! It made me and the snot-nosed man sit opposite each other for two full hours. To beautify him and draw a portrait of him! I almost vomited out the overnight meal!"

Remus and Peter Pettigrew, who were watching the whole process, said: You didn't ask others, didn't you decide everything on your own?

……

After a while of flying around, the struggle between the Gryffindor foursome and Snape—or the foursome's bullying of Snape was silently killed in the cradle.Moreover, no one in the four-member group felt that there was any complaint. Instead, they felt that it was their own responsibility, which misunderstood and misled others.

That night, Shen Yanzhou listened to the portraits in the corridor and talked about the recent anecdotes about the little wizards. He was also relieved to hear that James and Sirius no longer bullied others.

A distorted growth environment can destroy a person, and Shen Yanzhou has personally witnessed the birth of a destroyer.

The days were spent in unchanging tranquility until the end of the semester, the seventh grade was about to graduate, and Hogwarts was about to attract a new batch of first-year students.

Before the end of the semester, Shen Yanzhou met an unexpected person in his office——

Lucius Malfoy.

Lucius is indeed a very good student. He has always been among the best during his studies at Hogwarts, and even became the prefect and the chairman of the male student union of Slytherin College. He is very prestigious in Slytherin College because of his blood and personal strength.

Of course, as his deceased father, Abraxas, said, he was very interested in art, especially painting. For this reason, he often came to Shen Yanzhou for advice. Generally, teachers and students come to get closer, and they will give each other gifts during festivals.

"You're going to graduate this year too..." Shen Yanzhou looked at Lucius and sighed.

The scene of Abraxas's graduation is still vivid in his memory, and he has witnessed the growth of two generations before he knew it.

"Yes, thank you very much for your seven years of care, Professor." Lucius said, his aristocratic tone has not changed in the past seven years.

Shen Yanzhou smiled and shook his head: "Don't be so polite. Well, let me think about it, what kind of graduation gift would be better for you?"

Lucius' eyes fell on the bookshelf behind him, he hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said: "Professor, can you let me have a look at your book collection?"

Shen Yanzhou didn't think much, and nodded: "Are you interested in my books? Just look around, most of the books here are also in the library, and a few of them are bought from other places. If you like You can take it away as a graduation gift."

"Thank you, Professor." Lucius said politely.

He walked around Shen Yanzhou and walked to the bookshelf, he could almost hear the beating of his heart.

For so many years, he had been waiting for this moment.

He stretched out his hand, and on his wrist was wearing a bracelet that looked very old but was still extremely delicate—not so much a bracelet, but a pendant worn on his wrist as a bracelet.As if the bracelet was guiding him, it led his hand to a book with a black cover on the top shelf.

His hand was getting closer and closer to the book... Finally he touched the book, the cover was very cold to the touch, as cold as the pendant on his wrist, but also dark and evil And fatal attraction.

The burning sensation rose in his palms and wrists at the same time, and the pain made him almost groan, but he still held it back forcefully, only his eyes turned black.It wasn't until a pair of cold hands pulled out the notebook from his hand that he woke up from the severe pain, and looked at Shen Yanzhou in front of him with a confused expression.

"What's wrong with you?" Shen Yanzhou looked at him worriedly.

Lucius felt his back was drenched in cold sweat, he shook his head: "It's okay, professor, this is..."

Shen Yanzhou looked at the diary in his hand, didn't say a word, put the book back to its original place on the shelf in silence, and then said: "Sorry, Lucius, this is the only one that doesn't work, the others are fine."

Lucius nodded, an almost imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth: I don't want this book, Professor.My mission has been completed, and everything that follows has nothing to do with me.

……

The summer holidays are coming, Shen Yanzhou basically won't go out of school during the summer vacation due to his health, so he stays in his office all the time.

But this year, he didn't stay alone like in previous years, and there was one more person in his office——James Potter.

"Godfather, I don't have anyone at home anyway, so I'll live with you!" James said with a smile.

Shen Yanzhou thought for a while, but couldn't find any reason to refuse, so he simply nodded in agreement.

And this year's summer vacation, Shen Yanzhou also noticed something different from usual - he always felt that someone was watching him.

Whenever he felt this way, he would subconsciously look at James, but most of the time James was doing his own thing and had no intention of looking at him at all.Although Shen Yanzhou felt strange, he didn't know where the problem was.

……

When Voldemort woke up from the boundless darkness, the first image he saw through his Horcrux was the back of Shen Yanzhou sitting in front of the desk.

He looked at the person he hadn't seen in more than ten years, and suddenly felt a little dazed.

He was lucky enough to survive because the last Horcrux still existed in the world, and his soul was possessed by Nagini. After surviving in the Albanian forest for many years, he was found by Abraxas and transferred his soul to Slytherin. on the pendant.With the nourishment of the powerful magic power contained in the pendant, his soul gradually recovered, but to fully recover, he had to find his last Horcrux—the diary.

Abraxas was indeed a very loyal servant. He dutifully searched for the diary, and even entrusted his son to continue to complete this task after his death.

And Voldemort himself has been in a state of slumber, until Lucius finally came into contact with his diary just now, and merged his two remnant souls into one, he finally regained his consciousness and was able to clearly see outside world.

And the first person he saw was also the last person he saw before he died, the last person who died under his Avada Kedavra, his professor—Shen Yanzhou.

At that moment, he suddenly doubted whether he was resurrected or really died, whether what he saw was a living person, a dead person, or a hallucination.

He killed him with his own hands, and he watched his body fall on the cold, dewy grass, like a lifeless puppet, but he miraculously resurrected.If he could escape death from the basilisk, he could also escape death from his own hand.

The anger, sorrow and final death at that time seemed to him like yesterday.He died as the evil and crazy Dark Lord, and it has been more than ten years since he was resurrected and woke up again.

However, Voldemort was still alive, and he himself did not expect that he actually escaped this catastrophe, because his first horcrux was preserved in perfect condition by Shen Yanzhou.And Shen Yanzhou, who was supposed to die under his hands and fell into the eternal night with him, and was doomed forever, is still alive and well.

Even, there is a new love.

He watched a completely strange boy run up to Shen Yanzhou's side, smiled and approached his ear, talking to him.Shen Yanzhou turned his face to look at the boy, with a doting smile on his face that he had never shown to himself before.

Look how happy he is.In contrast, I was simply a poor wretch lingering in the narrow abyss, half asleep and half awake in the dark, groggy, holding on to my last breath until the moment when I saw the sun again.

After trampling on his dignity, betraying his trust, and selling his life, what face does he have to live so happily?Why is he?
