Atonement of HP

Snape watched helplessly as Sirius turned into a big dog and followed a mouse into the Whomping Willow. He hesitated, as if he didn't want to do this, although his body seemed to be conscious start moving to that place.He appeared so brightly in the open space outside the castle, and it was strange that none of the night watchmen noticed.

He struggled to follow Sirius in, and vaguely felt that there was something wrong ahead, but "following Sirius" seemed to be some kind of bewitchment.Snape held his wand in his hand and walked on.

The passage behind the Whooping Willow was uneven, often requiring Snape to bend down or raise his feet. Soon, a door appeared in front of him.

"Push it away, Sirius is inside, don't you want to follow Sirius?" There seemed to be a voice saying so in the dark.

Snape pushed away abruptly, and the people in the room jumped - Remus Lupine was in the middle of the room, his feet were chained, but his hands hadn't finished.After Snape's shock, Lupine seemed to have passed a certain critical point. Snape watched helplessly that the human shadow belonging to Lupin began to tremble slightly, and then grew bigger. After that, "Aw—— "The werewolf transformed.

The howling of the werewolf was like a basin of cold water, which suddenly poured cold water into Snape's heart, as if he had suddenly pulled away a thin layer of cloth separating himself from the world.

Slughorn - Mina Prince - Sirius... The whole line passed quickly in Snape's mind. After all, Snape couldn't imagine that Slughorn would Casting a curse on himself against the contract, what did Lucius say back then?In the apprenticeship contract, the mentor must ensure the safety of the apprentice.But now is not the time to think about these things, he quickly threw out a "fainting ground", and other things can be put aside, he remembered that the werewolf's hands were not tied just now.

Snape's spell hit right away, but the werewolf just paused, not only for a moment, its hand directly grabbed the chain on its feet, and with two "clicks", the chain broke, and the werewolf was free. up.

"Kamikaze is invisible, there are many obstacles, and armor protects..." A series of incantations came out from Snape's mouth, and several bleeding gashs began to appear on the werewolf's body. It will not be indifferent to the damage caused by black magic.

"Wow..." Sirius turned into a big dog and bit Snape directly after seeing Lupine being attacked.

"Stupid dog!" Snape was furious, and with a flick of his wand, an "obstacle" was thrown out. Sirius the Dog avoided it with his amazing intuition, and "this time" the sharp canine teeth directly smashed Snape Pu's wizard robe was torn in half, and the double-sided mirror fell out, "Lucius..." Snape grabbed it and missed it, and subconsciously exclaimed.

"Drowsy!" Snape gritted his teeth and continued to throw out the spell. Just now, Sirius' canine teeth not only tore his wizard robes, but also drew a wound on his arm.

The smell of the wizard's blood obviously stimulated the werewolf, and it rushed towards Snape again regardless of its own injuries. Now Snape didn't have the energy to take care of Sirius, and the werewolf obviously wanted to kill Snape directly. With Pu torn into pieces, Sirius had no choice but to turn around and suppress the werewolf.He did intend to teach the snot a lesson, but he couldn't let the snot die here, especially by being bitten to death by Lupine.

The mouse that Peter turned into was trembling aside, and his already petite body wanted to shrink into a ball even more.Snape glanced at Sirius the Dog. The werewolf was more of a threat, especially... the moment the werewolf approached, Snape smelled the enhancer and rage agent.

Damn it!Thinking of the palliative and the water of life and death used before the chamaejasbane potion in the previous life, Snape knew in his heart that his chess piece might have been placed on the chessboard.

Where no one noticed, the upside-down double-sided mirror was shining slightly.

--------------------------I am the dividing line of the double-sided mirror lying silently------------- -------------------

Lucius has been feeling very wrong lately, and there seems to be a feeling that something is wrong.His progress in the Department of Mysteries is not very satisfactory. So far, he can only guess that different colors seem to represent different levels of contracts.But Lucius had a deeper understanding of the contract with the Malfoy family.

The magic pattern of the Malfoy family is not so much a marriage contract as a "surveillance" contract in disguise.

As we all know, marriage contracts are divided into partner contracts, perception partners, destined partners and soul mates from bottom to top, and are classified according to the degree of compatibility of souls.Among them, the partner contract is the most common, it can only connect two souls together through a marriage contract; the perception partner requires both parties to be able to perceive the same in certain aspects; the destiny partner is less, and can sign this level The contract requires the souls of both parties to be closely connected in a causal relationship; as for soul mates, it is basically difficult to sign such a top-level marriage contract.

Before the marriage contract was formally signed, no one knew what kind of marriage contract could be signed, and in view of the particularity of the Malfoy family, the Malfoys came up with a brilliant idea, which was this kind of contract unique to the Malfoy family.

It is said that this kind of contract is a "surveillance" contract, because this kind of contract can "monitor" the marriage contract level of the two contractors at the beginning, and the establishment of the contract, that is, the completion of the magic pattern, officially represents the marriage contract. conclusion.It can be said that the magic pattern at the beginning is just the beginning, but once the marriage contract is started, it is not allowed to sign another marriage contract before there is a result.

Don't think that once the contract is signed, it means the conclusion of the marriage. It is just the beginning, "monitoring" the degree of connection between the souls of both parties, and the entire contract will be realized after certain conditions are met.

So when Dumbledore saw his magic pattern, he thought he was "already" engaged, and in view of the special situation of the Malfoy family, outsiders would never know the real situation. In fact, Dumbledore could know the Malfoy family's Marriage contract is this kind of special magic pattern, which is already well-informed.

Thinking of the classification of marriage deeds, and thinking of his own records, Lucius' heart beat uncontrollably. Red was the least, which meant that blue and green appeared most in the history of the Malfoy family. According to the blood of the Malfoy family, It is guessed that the perceived partner and the destined partner are more conducive to stabilizing their souls. In contrast, the partner contract is much worse.

As for the only silver color, Lucius had a bold guess that the relationship between him and Sif was probably the soul mate who couldn't find a few records.Once he and Sif became soul mates, Lucius was so excited that his hands shook, preventing a pair of soul mates from marrying would be cursed by Merlin, so it seemed that his father's attitude was also explained.

Because of this, Lucius looked at the half-open rose on his wrist, and plunged one end into the Department of Mysteries. A contract that cannot be fully concluded cannot form a marriage contract. He has to find a way to make the contract successful as soon as possible.

The Department of Mysteries is indeed the most mysterious place in the entire Ministry of Magic. Even though Lucius spent a lot of time here, he still did not find out more about soul mates. The most recent pair of soul mates appeared 400 years ago. One party was 17 years old and the other party was 16 years old.Although the Ministry of Magic later sent someone to understand the process of their conclusion, unfortunately, when they were blessed by Merlin, Merlin also kept this secret tightly.The details of signing the contract were forbidden to be spoken out, and for hundreds of years, it could only lead to countless wizards to guess.

Of course, guessing, it’s not that there are different opinions, making Lucius one head and two heads, and there is no real reliable information at all.

Apart from this, there are many other troubles for Lucius recently.Bear the brunt of the Lord's attitude during this time.

As the patriarch of a pure-blood noble, Lucius certainly heard two rumors about him.Lucius acted like he didn't care in front of people, but Lucius couldn't help gnashing his teeth behind him.Like Snape, he also immediately judged that the old bee who couldn't stand loneliness made the move, and the purpose was to put the relationship between the Malfoy family and Snape on the bright side.

In fact, Lucius himself knew that the relationship between the Malfoy family and Snape could no longer be concealed. If he hadn't discovered the magic pattern just now, Lucius should meet Snape as soon as possible, and together Negotiate a plan.But now it was obviously impossible for Lucius to tell Snape what he had found, and from what he knew, he might have to run away before he finished talking about his Sev.

No matter what aspect Lucius considers, completing the unfinished marriage contract between them is the best choice to put their relationship on the surface, especially if it is true as he guessed, they may not only not If they are suppressed, they may be able to take it one step further, which is a guarantee for each other's safety.

Here comes the crux of the problem, Lucius doesn't know how to make the contract

signed.Just like he didn't know how Qiangwei began to change, he also didn't know what the Malfoy family's magic pattern had to "monitor" to complete the signing.

So now Lucius can only play sloppy in front of people, especially in front of Lord and Orion, and desperately think of a way in private.Anyway, Sev has already left his apprenticeship, as long as Slughorn calls him to testify and terminate the apprenticeship contract, then the bat magic pattern on Lucius' body will also disappear, and the fact that the Malfoy family used to be witnesses will be completely wiped out. hide it.

As for whether Slughorn would inform himself in private, Lucius had absolute confidence in this point, he knew how this old seal who had been shrewd all his life was unwilling to be loyal to Voldmort.Similarly, Snape, as one of his ways to solve troubles, would not be casually abandoned by him.

Lucius hadn't calculated that Voldmort's interest in Snape was more than just a potions master now, and the added value of the Prince family obviously required him to take a clearer stand.And it's not that Slughorn won't give up, it just depends on whether the price is enough.Obviously, the cunning Slytherin's determination to stay away from the Death Eaters was far beyond Lucius' imagination.

So, under the small request of the head of the Black family to "get rid of Voldmort's invitation", Slughorn still chose to do it, even though he faced the magical backlash from the apprenticeship contract, even though Snape was his best choice. successor.

Slughorn was very careful, the simpler the order, the less damage to the soul under the Imperius Curse, and the smaller the backlash he suffered.So he just gave the order to "let your guard down."

Slughorn knew his apprentices far better than the average Slytherin. Maybe he didn't know what the Patriarch of the Black family wanted to do, but he knew that as long as his apprentices behaved as usual, they might have little chance, so he also Can only choose this approach.From this perspective, Slughorn deserves to be a standard Slytherin, getting the best result for himself at the least cost. Voldmort always kept his word. Although Slughorn felt sorry for his apprentice and Lucius, Slytherin was always wise and safe.

It was this miscalculation that made Lucius realize that the magic pattern on his chest was an abnormal red color at night.

Originally, Snape's apprenticeship contract had been basically completed, and the bat magic pattern on Lucius' chest seemed to be gradually getting darker and lighter during this time.Lucius was still a little disappointed, he didn't like the thing that represented his Sev to disappear from him.

But today, when he entered the bathroom to take a shower, Lucius noticed that the bat that had turned gray-black had a strange red color.

Sev's under attack, and it's still from Slughorn!

Lucius' first reaction was to rush straight to Hogwarts with his staff, but he hesitated before going out.He couldn't understand Snape's details very well. If he said something that he couldn't solve by himself, I'm afraid that even if he appeared, it wouldn't help.Moreover, Lucius was rubbing the snake stick, the whole thing was really weird, it was Sev who had the accident, and the Malfoy family was probably the one who tested it.

to go, or not to go?Lucius was caught in a huge entanglement. His Sev was in danger. Of course he should show up. However, his appearance meant that the Malfoy family had come to the fore. Press it up.

"Sev, Sev..." Lucius walked around in the living room, often unable to make up his mind, the bat totem on his left chest was still as seductive as blood, showing its existence by cooling and warming for a while.

It was getting dark, but Lucius was still circling in the living room. He didn't light a single candle, and his whole body was hidden in the darkness.Suddenly, a faint light appeared extremely bright in the hall without the slightest light. Lucius walked over quickly, and the double-sided mirror belonging to Sev was shining.

"Sev, Sev!" Lucius couldn't care about anything, he threw the snake staff out, grasped the mirror tightly with both hands, and there was only one sentence in his mind: "His Sev is calling him" .

Lucius knew Snape well, and he would not take the initiative to contact him until the most dangerous time, oh no, it should be said that he would not even when it was the most dangerous time, as Snape described to him as " Lucius has long discovered that his Sev has a spirit of sacrifice for the people he cares about, although the last time it was for that inexplicable Mudblood!

The double-sided mirror was switched on, but there was darkness inside the mirror. Lucius quickly calmed down and heard a noisy background. The only ones he could recognize were the howling of animals, the sound of Sev's spell, and the dog Call.After a while, Lucius' expression changed, it was... a werewolf.

The Malfoy family is the school trustee, that is to say, the fact that Lupine is a werewolf cannot be hidden from Lucius, who has recently become the school trustee.

For a split second, Lucius' concerns about Snape completely overwhelmed his concerns about being behind the Malfoys' back.

"Sev, wait for me!" Lucius yelled into the double-sided mirror, took the snake staff and left Malfoy Manor. He remembered that Dumbledore's report said that Remus Lupin would Spends his full moon nights "safely" at the Shrieking Shack.
