HP One More Chance.

The Dark Lord stretched out his finger and pointed to Bella on the right, "...you go and bring that 'cute' guest up, so that everyone can meet..."

A burst of joy that implied killing intent and pride bloomed at the end of the last syllable that disappeared.

"Yes, my master."

After getting permission, Bella walked to the center and stretched out her wand, and laughed along with the trembling voice,

"Human form appears!"

The light that pierced the darkness and mist that suddenly appeared at the end of her magic wand unexpectedly circled straight behind Snape and Lucius, and then there was a sound of objects crashing to the ground.

--"later……"

Both Snape and Lucius winked at each other who were almost standing next to each other, but they never dared to turn around to see what happened behind them—even if Bella yelled that After the incantation, all the people present, including the Dark Lord, looked at the two of them with different eyes: some were not surprised, some were surprised, some were panicked, but most of them were...gloating.

"What's the matter, neither of you intends to welcome... the guests behind you?"

The Dark Lord grinned at the corner of his mouth, the smile was still twisted and ferocious, "I will not reveal until you come, but you are planning to spoil everyone's interest, why? Are you afraid to see her or does she not know you?"

Obviously, watching Severus say the last sentence.

However, Snape, who was being questioned, and Lucius, who accompanied him to be "questioned", chose to keep his head down, as if he knew it, and remained silent.

"Of course, we are all acquaintances, Severus," Bella, who was standing with her head up, interrupted with contempt, "I saw you go find her with my own eyes..."

"Shut up, Bella."

The Dark Lord spoke, and stopped Bella before she finished speaking, but his eyes were more intriguing than a moment ago, neither the so-called anger nor the so-called indifference, "I didn't want to Keeping her alive until now, but since there is some... connection between you? I would like to hear your opinion."

--Opinion?what did he know...

"I never stop you from telling the truth, but the premise is that the person concerned should have the right to tell me in person what kind of... misunderstanding all this is?"

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

But there is no fourth second.

"Master, I know her, but I only met her once, because she claims to be a potion genius, so I let her have a try. After all, master, you want Miku's family to disappear, and I am very distressed about it. "

Everyone here knows or has heard of Miku's family more or less.

As the first batch of pure-blood families recruited by the Dark Lord, the Miku family attracted his attention because of their possession and mastery of a large number of ancient magic books and ancient magic power.

However, the Miku family, which was prosperous a hundred years ago, gradually declined with the departure of their ancestors.

But it is not so much a "decline", it is better to say that the family chose to do so voluntarily.One day they seemed to suddenly realize something, and their family moved to a deserted place and began to live in seclusion.In the wizarding world, it is hard to hear about the descendants of the Miku family anymore.

In addition to the legend about Miku's family, there are also rumors of immortality and immortality.

Of course the Dark Lord would not let them go so easily.

Lucius raised his head, smiled apologetically, and shrugged while looking at Snape, who was suspected of pretending to be calm.

"Then...Lucius, what do you mean, I killed them by mistake?" The Dark Lord's voice became deeper and deeper, and although the tone of intentional reproach was small, it was enough to shock everyone here.

"Don't dare, my respected master." Lucius quickly bent down and lowered his head again, "If the people who should disappear don't disappear, it will only be more distressing. Because of my task mentality, I reluctantly asked that lady to work with Severus temporarily, and it just happened to take Miss Miku's place, right?"

He posed the question to Snape, who had remained silent the entire time.This time, what the other party was thinking in his heart matched him impartially, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Is that the case, Severus?" the Dark Lord asked, turning to him.

"...Yes, I know her too...Because I don't want to miss the task you entrusted to me, but please forgive me that I am not confident that I can complete it within the deadline, so I need help."

Severus spoke calmly, reporting one by one to the Dark Lord who was far enough away from him but kept "showing face" to him.

"You're not confident" you'll meet the deadline? That's not what you'd say, Severus."

However, no one knew that before he spoke, the Dark Lord had secretly used Legilimency on him to read that time—the last meeting between him and her.

"Stop lying, you and her are very familiar, I have seen it!" Bella retorted unceremoniously, but instead of the devil, she provoked the flaw.

"On the night of the full moon, I followed the trace of Sirius to the wasteland, and I saw who you were talking to in front of the house!"

This time, the Dark Lord didn't stop her again, allowing her to speak.

He didn't ask "how do you explain it?" He just let them know with a look. If they choose to cheat, they should be very clear about what will happen.

"That's why I said, we're just here for work, we don't know each other well, Bella, did you take a good look at it? Or did you forget to add a blind eye to yourself when you were chasing that big dog at night?" Curse? Although logically speaking, I should trust you, but this is the fact, I can't help but believe it."

Lucius showed Bella a Malfoy-style signature smile confidently, "For Narcissa's sake, I will certainly forgive your misunderstanding, but I am obliged to make it clear to you, Master, that we have done nothing. "

"Did nothing? How can you say this..."

"Enough is enough, Lucius." The Dark Lord told him to shut up, "Bella, you also step back."

"Yes, master..."

The two quarreling had no choice but to take a few steps back resentfully, making way for the Dark Lord to stand up from his seat and come straight to Snape.

"The job was done well, but... I have to remind you, a smart person shouldn't do this because of a woman, and..." After a pause, he raised his hand again, and pressed his wand against it. His head, "I don't want to destroy you with my own hands one day, understand...but I can't tolerate stupid people trying to cover my eyes with nonsense again and again."

"I did not lie to you, Master."

Snape quietly closed his eyes, still calmly speaking the words of loyalty.

"I realized that there was something wrong with her, so I took the risk to find her that night when the moon was full. When I discovered her flaws, I wanted to kill her immediately, because she knew too much, so I didn't kill her. Otherwise, our situation will become very dangerous... It's just that she has set a sealing spell outside the house that I can't break, so I just pretend to be friendly, and then put the poison at the door. If you step out of the house, you will definitely die, but...miscalculation is inevitable, and accidents are unpredictable, master."

"Then, you killed her, and here you kill her," the Dark Lord pointed his wand at the bloodstained figure curled up behind him, "otherwise, I wouldn't trust you for nothing, Severus .”

——has escaped questioning, but no one has ever escaped the suspicion of the Dark Lord.

"Yes Master."

"Avada Kedavra!"

Several things happen simultaneously:

Just when Snape turned around and was going to raise his wand to face the person bound on the ground behind him, there was a sudden death curse with a dazzling green light from Lucius's wand, pointing directly at her on the ground, almost hitting her It hit her, but it missed by a few centimeters. The spell hit the iron chain beside her, and the shackles broke the shackles that bound her.

"What are you doing, Lucius!" The Dark Lord asked with a rare surprised expression (well, if you can still tell what it is).

"I can't let her go... After thinking about it, I still think it's a shame to be cheated by her. She despised my dignity as a Malfoy, so I have to kill her first, because she is Damaged my dignity."

Lucius hastily explained with an unquestionable tone, like an actor who is reading a dialogue from a stage play,

"I want to kill her with my own hands. No one else can interfere with this. Therefore, I ask the master to hand her over to me, because I really can't swallow this breath, even though I am a nobleman with dignity."

As he said this, he never forgot to show resentment in his eyes, holding the magic wand tightly in his hand all the time, and pointing at the unconscious woman on the ground.

"You have no objection, Severus." He asked the people around him symbolically, and the other party responded to him very cooperatively:

"If you think doing this can relieve hatred, then as long as the master promises, you can do it, I have no objection."

——Now, just wait for the Demon King's consent.

At some point, the Dark Lord's pet Naniji also ran out to join in the fun, spitting out a letter wrapped around the Dark Lord's hand, and "hissing" in the owner's ear as if watching a show, as if saying something.

"...You want to say, you want to eat her?...Oh, this is not possible, not yet, but it is not this time, you have to bear it..."

The Dark Lord smiled strangely again, however, he did not agree to Lucius' request to kill her for Snape, he just pointed at her limp on the ground, "Resuscitate quickly."

As soon as the spell to break the curse was blurted out, the people on the ground gradually seemed to be alive.She began to pant heavily, but because her eyes were always covered, she didn't know where she was at all, so she could only stay where she was and let others deal with her.

"I have to introduce, this is 'Shirley Lou Miku'...our 'lovely' guest."

——Sure enough, it was her.

From being half sure and half guessing before to being completely sure now, Snape knew who she was better than anyone else.

The traces of torture on her body are clearly visible, completely different from the noble lady who lived in a boudoir and knew nothing about the world when we met last time: the original copper-green dress has become tattered, and the deep red blood is on the It turned into a black mark, and the honey-colored short shoulder-length hair was also stained with black iron-colored coagulated blood. The originally clean and white arms were covered with scars that had just scabbed over, and even the amber eyes were also stained. It was lifeless as if it had been smeared with ashes.

This look is no longer elegant, and even embarrassed is not enough to describe it.

"...you..." She struggled to get up from the ground, but fell to the ground again gasping for breath due to her weakness, and could only watch the Dark Lord, who was facing her back, speak in a disgusting voice while walking away further away.

"What's wrong with me?... Ah, yes, I don't want you to die now, because Nagini said he wants you to be his dinner.

However, it is a pity to destroy you like this. If you are willing to tell me where the necklace of your Miku family is, or hand over the ancient magic of immortality, I can keep you longer, at least you don’t have to die like this. Even if you don't die, there's not much point in surviving. "

The Dark Lord returned to the throne, supported his head with his hands, and stared at the poor woman crawling under him with disdain.

"………… It is you, Voldemort... who should die.... Let me go... If not... You will have to pay the consequences sooner or later..."

Xue Lilu dragged her body covered in blood and scars, and actually planned to crawl forward in this completely invisible space, "...I'm going to kill you...kill you devil..."

Every time she said a word, the bloodstains on the ground became longer - yes, in this almost dark space, the smell of blood permeated, but watching her crawling away from her side step by step, trying to get closer to her master , Snape, Lucius and everyone else present were stunned.

No one planned to stop her, because everyone knew in their hearts that such a dying woman could not threaten them at all.Even the Dark Lord stared at her with the same mentality, watching how she was dying in front of her powerful self.

She appeared here today—especially when she appeared here in a human form after being tortured, but the Dark Lord invited everyone to witness with their own eyes how cruel the so-called cruelty can be.

"...I'm going to kill you...kill you demon..."

She still couldn't help muttering, as if she had lost her normal consciousness, leaving only a so-called stubborn and vulnerable belief in her heart.

"If you can do it, I'll wait for you here," the Dark Lord said in a nonchalant tone, his right hand kept stroking the giant snake wrapped around him, and his leisurely look was completely opposite to her, which made people can't help feel chilled.

Because he has power, he is a king, so he has to stand on a high platform and look down on the world weaker than himself with a lifelong attitude.

This is the reality, those who follow him admire him, and more people bow down under the power he possesses.Just like now, he can easily take away a person's life with only one finger's strength, it's so simple.

"You have wit and strategy, but you can't kill me with these alone. The Miku family should have disappeared from the list of pure-blood families, because they are too ignorant of current affairs, especially your cousin's family , I reached out to them 20 years ago, but they rejected me indifferently, and said that I was whimsical, but now I am fine, I have proved to them, who is whimsical now, and who deserves to die. "

"...a demon who killed people, you deserve to die..." She recited angrily, raising her red eyes to look up at the mighty demon king without yielding.

"Oh, so you say, shouldn't that old man Dumbledore deserve to die? He also killed people. In your words, isn't he still a demon like me?"

"...You don't...don't push...the sins to...others..."

A mouthful of blood spat out from Xue Lilu's mouth, she coughed in pain, another cold blood flower bloomed on the ground.

"If you can't speak, just shut your mouth obediently. To be honest, very few people can survive more than a dozen Cruciatus Curse in a row, but you are so stubborn, so tenacious, but you are just like me. It will inevitably arouse my interest, maybe the death curse is not the best punishment for you?"

No one dared to answer the devil's question, and the audience was almost silent.

--enough.

"...you can torture me, but unfortunately you can never kill me."

Shirley Lu said word by word with difficulty, "You think...you can live forever...don't be stupid...a devil like you who lives with sin...impossible..."

—a devil like you who lives in sin.

For some reason, when Snape heard these words, some thoughts that had been tightly locked in his heart were touched again and overflowed.

He remembered again that he had killed her.

——No one can live forever and have infinite life.

However, he ended her life prematurely.

This is a sin.

-----------------------------------------------------------

for a long time.

"Master, I have a way to make her tell where the necklace is."

Snape ventured forward to break the suffocating silence in this space, and was the first to speak his own opinion, "I can get the necklace, and...to prove that I didn't lie to you, I'm willing to bet on my life, as long as you are willing to give me..."

However, the Dark Lord ignored him.

"Bella, take her back to the dungeon, don't let her die, even if she is about to die, find a way to make her life worse than death... And you, Lucius, you should explain to me in detail what happened tonight , although I don’t think you would come to me and say a bunch of useless words for personal grievances.” He decisively interrupted Snape’s speech, let go of the pet in his hand, stood up and turned around , with his back to everyone.

"Yes, Master." Lucius and Bella took the order and replied at the same time.

"As for you, Severus... you don't have to go to the siege in a few days, and today's matter... I hope that when I ask you next time, you can make an end. And..." He deliberately said There was a pause here, and after Bella bound Shirley Lu away again, she continued:

"During this time, you have to prepare. As I said before, I want you to go to Hogwarts to watch over that old man Dumbledore. Do you understand?"

"I understand, master."

Snape nodded his understanding.He didn't say any more, because it's useless to talk too much, it's rare that the master doesn't embarrass himself anymore, so he just does what he wants.

Since the master does not intend to kill her for the time being, then she and he will meet again.

Thinking about it this way, even though he couldn't imagine how dangerous it would be to meet her again, he really wanted to find out who she was.She must not be an ordinary person, she must know what she wants to know.

——In the conversation at Miku's house that day, how much of what she said to herself was true and how much was false?

He really didn't know, and he really wanted to know.

There are too many unclear and unclear fragments, he needs to pick them up piece by piece before he can truly understand everything.

"Let's go, that's all for today, get out of here, go back and carry out your tasks well."

As soon as the Dark Lord waved his hand, the black robe flew away from the secret room with a bang.

Tonight's party came to an end, and the dark green fluorescent lights in the room went out one by one.Everyone hurriedly put on their black robes and hoods that could cover their entire faces, and left the dark room angrily, returning to their appearance before they arrived, burying mystery and terror in the darkness.

"Let's go, don't be in a daze."

Watching everyone leave but Snape still stayed where he was, Lucius, who was halfway there, suddenly turned his head and walked behind him who was distracted, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't you think that tonight's What, do we need another pair of lines to each other? I'm at a loss, and obviously you are too, my dear colleague."

"But I'm rather curious why you are willing to bet your dignity as Malfoy to speak for me."

Snape spoke indifferently as usual, the only difference was that there was less aggressiveness in his tone.

"It's just each other, they are all people who can't protect themselves."

Lucius smiled, as if he had Apparated here at the same time in the beginning, when he was about to leave, Snape decided to Apparate again with him.

The author has something to say: I have thought for a long time, how to write about Voldemort without being so annoying?

After all, V University should belong to the kind of person who is very dignified but not too unreasonable. It's just that the truth he agrees with is different from that of ordinary people.

As for Lucius, before actually starting to write his plot, he deliberately checked a lot of information. Of course, he also read some parts of the original book where he appeared, not just relying on the impression in the movie.The final personal conclusion is that although his role is neither righteous nor evil, as a person from the Slytherin and Malfoy families, he abides by the principles of life. Will be a great friend.

As for Xue Lilu, it is still a mystery, and it will be revealed slowly in the next article.

☆, 10.2

- "So you walk far far away and the moment passes by.

why not fly to the moon and rest in peace but rather choose to stay."

The song of fate and its cruel roar clamored in the moonlit night.The chaotic memory is like a puddle of muddy water, and the once clear gaze has long since disappeared.

In the cold and damp dungeon of the Riddle Mansion, Shirley, covered in scars and blood, was hanged by chains and passed out.

At this moment, she hoped that death would take away all the pain. However, whenever she felt her heart start to weaken, someone would always shout the same words to her:

"You can't die before you reach the truth in the dark depths."

That was not her voice.

— “That the room is brightly litin which there is notexit.

Isthetollingtollingbelloftherelease..."

In this sad world, everyone is seizing the last minute to say goodbye to the person they love the most.

Whether it's her, or him, or him, and her.

"......... Everything will pass..."

-----------------------------------------------------------

"what!"

An exclamation came out of the boy's mouth as his eyes suddenly opened.

Regulus was shocked and sat up from the bed with difficulty, his eyes couldn't hide the look of panic when he encountered the nightmare just now.Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and his consciousness was full of the real pain brought to him by the almost real dream just now, which made him feel at a loss what to do.

"What's wrong, did you have a nightmare?"

A female voice that was gentle and warm like the spring breeze blowing from the winter snow had just melted sounded from beside him. Eve, who was lying on the bedside and fell asleep, woke up with her sleepy eyes opened because of Regulus' alarm. .

With concern, she stretched out her hand to smooth his frowning brow with her fingertips, and then handed her light blue handkerchief to him to wipe off the sweat.

"...Thank you, but..."

——Not Alice? !

The black-haired boy who just woke up looked at the beautiful lady like a doll who was taking care of him with another kind of surprised gaze, and he didn't take the handkerchief she handed over for a long time.

The expected common sense turned into a completely unfamiliar situation.

"I know what you want to ask." Seeing that he refused to answer, and letting her hands hang in the air, Eve simply sat on the low stool beside the bed and sat on his bedside to wipe his sweat personally. The move undoubtedly made Regulus dodge subconsciously.

"You want to ask, where are you now, who am I, and what happened to yourself? Is it like this..."

"Yeah...Thank you, that's all right, I'm fine."

He was so embarrassed that he could only thank her again, and his face slowly flushed, and finally he had to take her handkerchief himself.However, watching him act like a child by his side, Eve couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling uncontrollably.

"Don't be so alien, I'm not some strange big sister."

"...No...it's not like this, it's nothing...I just...just want to know..." Regulus quickly explained to her, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

——How could it suddenly become like this?

"...Where is that... Alice?...I mean is there a..."

"Here, I am the master,"

Seeing the anxious look on the boy's face, Eve sat beside his bed with a completely different and leisurely look, resting her chin on one hand and blinking her big eyes at him, "In front of a lady who cares about you, Don't you think it's inappropriate for you to ask about other women as soon as you open your mouth?"

"I didn't mean that..."

Regulus was immediately taken aback by the other party's words, and looked at her innocently: "That's not the case, I didn't mean that... I just want to know myself..."

He hesitated to speak, he didn't know how to explain it now, not to mention that he just woke up and still didn't know anything.

Looking fixedly at his natural appearance of a good boy, Eve smiled even more happily.

"...Okay, okay, I won't embarrass you anymore, you really can't stand being teased just like your brother."

She waved her hand apologetically, then knocked on the table beside the bed in front of him, and familiarly summoned the maid waiting outside the door to bring her a new pot of black tea and sugar water.

"Here, ordinary sugar water, although I don't know if you will feel hungry, but there is really nothing else for you to eat."

She picked up the glass next to the bone china cup that was handed over, and handed it to Regulus who looked at her with a blank face, "Drink it, maybe you will feel better if you do it like this, at least it won't cause anything I can’t even remember...you’ve been in a coma for too long..."

"Then how long have you been in a coma..." Regulus murmured softly, seeing her handing over the cup seriously, this time he also took a sip generously.

——My Merlin, super sweet syrup!

He couldn't help turning his face away from the other direction facing Eve and sticking out his tongue, "...how much sugar did you add...this can't be considered water anymore..."

"So, this is sugar water, 'sy-ru-p', didn't I tell you a long time ago? You can't eat anything else, but I don't know if you will feel hungry, so I drink it Well."

Eve blinked her shining eyes again, staring at him and the glass in his hand with a more innocent look than Regulus just now.

——What kind of logic is this...

Regulus looked at this woman who had been inexplicable from the very beginning without anything to say.

"...Then, can you tell me now, what's going on?"

——You have been punished again, the "sugar water" has been drunk, and you have been staring at me for so long for nothing, miss, you should honestly tell me what is going on...

"I never said I wouldn't tell you..."

As if the trick had finally succeeded, Eve showed a satisfied expression, then slowly returned to her seat and took a sip of her cup of black tea that had just dried.

"Since you're awake, you can just sit here and listen to me retell the story to you from beginning to end... But of course, no matter what you hear, you must not doubt it in the end."

An innocent smile appeared on her face again, and even her eyes seemed to be sprinkled with gold, and the golden pupils were full of unknown meaning.

"Then let's begin."

She motioned for Regulus to stretch out his hand, and then held her small hand on the back of his hand, transmitting the warmth of her palm to his hand bit by bit.

Regulus could feel that she was using magic on him.

"If I'm not mistaken, you met Alice until a month ago, and... stayed with her all this time?"

"Yes...but... wait, you said it was a month ago? Why do I only remember that it was a little more than a week ago?" Regulus, who was being asked, searched vigorously My own memory, but got this untimely answer.

"Because you have been in a coma with me for almost half a month, and this is the Muggle world, you are no longer in the wizarding world."

Eve clarified the facts one by one: "I don't know why you were injured so badly back then, but Alice asked your brother, Sirius Black, to bring you to me... ...By the way, I almost forgot to introduce myself." She paused for a moment and then continued, "I am Eve, Eve Hebrew, and I am a wizard just like you, although... I haven't used magic for a long time, and now I'm just an ordinary doctor in the Muggle world, and it's not a doctor who stays in the hospital honestly, but a reclusive person, so probably no one knows that I live here."

"But... E... Eve, why have I been in a coma for so long?"

"You were already like this when your brother sent you to me. Because of the magic backlash, you almost became a squib. This is what I can understand. Why Alice sent you to me, because She really doesn't want you to be a Squib, but there's nothing she can do about it..."

"You know Alice?" Regulus interjected.

"Obviously..." Eve still looked at him with a smile, as if to say 'please don't ask questions knowingly', "The Hebrew family and the Miku family are family friends, although... the last time I saw her was ten years ago However, we had an agreement that in the future, if either party needs help from the other party, the other party must agree to the death without hesitation and do their best to help."

"So, that's why she begged you?"

"It's not all because of this... How should I put it, the reasons are very complicated, and I don't know how to tell you to make you understand."

Having said that, Eve could only smile apologetically.

"Can you remember? Before you fell into a coma... During the time you spent with Alice, did she ever mention to you... about future plans?"

"No...she didn't mention it to me." Regulus lowered his head sadly, secretly digesting the ins and outs of what he just learned.

If he fell into a coma half a month ago, then he must have had an accident during that meeting with Senior Snape.But it's strange, when I think of this, I can't remember what I did when I was in a coma.

The memory is completely blank as if it ends here.

"You don't have to be shy about anything. Even if Alice followed Voldemort before, it doesn't matter if I know it. As for... what happened to Miku's family, I am also very sorry," Eve showed a trace of sadness on her face. He lowered his eyes and stared blankly at the floor under his feet, "But since you saw Alice a month ago, it means that Alice didn't actually die in that fire? But, she will kill you Send me here... If she hadn't intended to do something, she wouldn't have sent you to me unless it was absolutely necessary."

"What do you mean? You know she..."

—Since you know so much, why are you asking me?

Regulus looked at her puzzled, "Why do you say she can't come to you for help unless it is absolutely necessary? And...she..."

"My agreement with her is based on death."

Eve suddenly said with a bitter smile, "You probably don't know," she put her eyes on the black-haired boy who was kept in the dark, and looked at him quietly as if she was looking at her old friend: "Ten years ago, we made an agreement that if the other party sensed that he was about to die in the future, he could use the Xuemei hairpin as a token to entrust his important things to the other party. The reason why we made this promise was because I As my mother visited Miku's house, I stumbled upon her secret."

Speaking of these... Now it seems that this is actually a very childish move, but we still made an agreement at that time.After all, we are all still children.
