[HP]Blue Soul

Chapter 71 The Ugly Dark Mark

Severus sat on the sofa and rubbed his left arm constantly, he could still feel the pain from the soul.At that moment, he lost many things, his future, his happiness and... his love.

Before Christmas, Severus received a letter from Lucius stating that Voldemort had asked him to attend the Death Eaters' Christmas dinner by name.This puzzled Severus, because all the time Voldemort had communicated with him through Lucius.The last time Voldemort summoned him was when he made the Soul Stabilizer.

On Christmas Day, he came to a luxurious manor with the portkey that Lucius sent with the letter.When he hurried into the hall, there were already many people in the hall. They were all dressed in gorgeous dress robes, gathered in twos and threes, talking in a low voice, and Lucius was among them.

Severus frowned and tugged at his black robe, which didn't suit the occasion, and walked to a corner with fewer people.There was already a person standing there, Regulus Black, leaning against the wall with a stern face, and he didn't know what he was looking at with scattered eyes.Severus didn't greet him, but leaned back into the corner, hiding himself in the shadow of the potted plant.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly condensed.Voldemort walked down the stairs slowly, with a huge adder crawling beside him, hissing and spitting.

As Lucius said, Voldemort is no longer Voldemort.He is stronger, and the magic pressure is more suffocating than before.His face was not as handsome as before, but became more and more blurred, and his red eyes gave everyone a terrible sense of oppression.

Severus touched the bell that Qiubai had sent him in his pocket, and activated Occlumency. He had already instinctively started to weave memories for himself. Voldemort asked him to come by name, and it couldn't be as simple as attending a party.

Voldemort sat down on a chair in the middle of the hall, raised his hand, and his low sticky voice wafted through the silent hall, "Welcome to this great gathering, Death Eaters."

A woman with a crazy expression shouted joyfully, "Welcome to the arrival of the master." Then she knelt down devoutly on the ground and kissed Voldemort's robe feet.

The woman's movements were like a switch, opening the floodgates for the servants' obsession.No matter how brightly they are dressed, they still need to kneel down like dogs one by one to kiss Voldemort's robe feet.Even the proud Lucius who never bowed his head was no exception.

Severus held the bell tightly, suppressing all his emotions, his eyes were getting more and more hollow, indifferent like an iron man.Regulus Black, who was a few steps away from him, trembled slightly, his fists clenched so tightly that Severus couldn't guess whether he was afraid or excited.

Voldemort seemed to be in a good mood. He waved his hand and interrupted the endless kneeling. When the crowd reached their sides, he stroked the raised head of the Viper, laughed twice, and said, "This is a very meaningful event." Gathering. It not only means that our great journey has stepped on a new level, but also means that we will usher in new blood."

Severus's heart skipped a beat, and then he fell into an ice cellar.Will he be a member of this new blood who was named?But he hasn't graduated yet!

"Black!" Voldemort yelled, and a middle-aged man knelt on the ground behind the mad woman. Voldemort didn't even look at the kneeling man. "The Black family has always been an important force for our Death Eaters. Although they have recently done things There's some weakness..." Severus saw the middle-aged man trembling while Voldemort was playing with his wand, "but their young heir is willing to join us early to make up for his father's mistake..."

"Reculus Black!"

As Voldemort called the name, Regulus Black clenched his fists, walked up to Voldemort with a straight back, and knelt at his feet. He cupped Voldemort's robe and feet with trembling hands and kissed them for a while, then bowed his head and said : "Regulus Black is at your service, my master."

Voldemort laughed happily, and he said to Regulus Black at his feet, "Raise your arms."

Regulus still lowered his head, raised his left arm, and rolled up his sleeve.

"I will give you the powerful Dark Mark, Regulus."

Voldemort put the tip of his wand on Regulus' raised arm, and as Regulus' body trembled, a black skull and a snake swimming out of the skull's mouth slowly emerged from his arm.

Severus was almost out of breath, he couldn't believe it, Regulus Black was only in sixth grade and he wasn't graduating for a year.Why……

"Well done, Regulus. I'm glad I've acquired a young force strong enough and powerful enough. Next, Severus."

Voldemort's red eyes just looked at it, and Severus was dizzy for a moment.He frantically runs his own Occlumency, he can't expose himself, even if he has fear, anger, sadness, and despair in his heart.

He suppressed all these emotions at the bottom of his heart, and only put his long-lost admiration on the surface. He knelt down slowly like Regulus, picked up the hem of his robe and kissed it.Said: "My Lord Dark Lord, please command."

"I need to give you a grand introduction." Voldemort said happily to the crowd, "Severus Snape, a very talented young man, is a hundred times better than those poor potion masters. He has been serving me for several years, and recently he did something that made me very happy. I wanted to reward him well that day, but I resisted the urge because I should have given him this in a more appropriate occasion. Glory. So, Severus, are you ready?"

Severus gripped his robe tightly, his head covered with cold sweat, but he still said calmly and grimly, "Ready, my lord."

"Raise your arms, Severus."

Severus raised his left arm, and the cold tip of Voldemort's staff rested on his arm.But Severus felt that the tip of the staff was piercing his heart, his blood began to freeze, and his breath became cold.

Severus' arm seemed to be on fire as Voldemort's magic pierced through, and a pain ran from his arm to his soul.He gritted his teeth and trembled uncontrollably.He seemed to feel distinctly that an ugly mark had been branded on his soul.For him, both his body and his heart were suffering enormously, and he seemed to be getting farther and farther away from that girl.

The torment was not over, however, as Voldemort's wand tip fell from his arm, before saying, "Lift up, Severus."

Severus' palms were sweaty, but his grip on the robe was getting tighter and tighter. He tried hard to get rid of all distracting thoughts, let out the memories he made up, and magnified his pursuit of black magic, using what he could Looking up at Voldemort with the most fanatical look he could do.

The moment he raised his head, he felt something was flipping through his memory, he held his breath, and quietly set up a barrier in his brain, letting his best memory, the most real emotion All hidden behind.

"You did a good job, Severus." Voldemort said slowly, "Although there is not much of that strange silver water, I hope that all the potions you give me in the future will be this improved version."

Severus lowered his head, as if he was really following Voldemort's orders. He finally knew the reason why these things happened today. What kind of negligence was it that made him give the soul stabilizer made of silver light water to Voldemort? !

"I never doubted your loyalty, Severus." Voldemort seemed to appease and pressure, "but some little guy told me that my loyal servant always mixed with mudbloods and squibs? It's no good , they should all be purged from the wizarding world, shouldn't they?"

"Yes, my lord." Severus replied against his will.At this moment, he was no longer worthy to have the answer he wanted. If he could, he even wanted to jump up and die with Voldemort, but he couldn't.

"You should stand by my side, Severus." Voldemort waved his hand, "Come, Severus, come to my side."

Severus got up and stood beside Voldemort.

"Yes, I allow you to stand by my side, Severus. That's where you should be, not those fearless Mudbloods and Squibs, are you right, Severus?"

"Of course, my master, they don't deserve my favor."

"Yes, yes. That's how it should be, and I'm sure you won't let me down, Severus."

Standing beside Voldemort like a statue, he could see the faces of all the people in the hall.From the corner of the crowd, Wilkes was watching him in horror.Severus suddenly understood who the "little guy" Voldemort was talking about was.

Hearing Voldemort's next deployment to the Death Eaters, Severus twitched in his stomach. He had never felt the blood of the Death Eaters so intuitively, attacking Muggles, eradicating Muggle wizards and their families, and Unleash a large Dark Mark.

Severus was sickened by the way a few deranged Death Eaters raised their wands at the end of the party and yelled "Bone reappeared."But the most disgusting thing is that at this moment, he is also one of these lunatics.

As the party cleared, Lucius and Severus walked down a dark corridor.Severus' flickering face remained cold and emotionless.

"Think about it, Severus." Lucius said, "Since you still have to go this way, you can only go on."

Severus was suddenly marked, something Lucius hadn't expected.This cut off not only Severus' retreat, but also his.He looked at the dark, lightless sky, like Malfoy's future.

Back in Godric's Hollow, Severus sat on the sofa until dawn.The house was empty, without the clingy little white snake, or the house-elf who was always busy in the kitchen, and without his Miss Smith.

—that was the Miss Smith he could no longer have.

It was dark and dawn, and Severus just sat on the sofa, eyes open and closed, day and night.As if that would take away the ugly mark on his arm, but it was still hot, telling him how powerful Voldemort was.

"Sev?"

Severus thought he was hallucinating until the girl fell into his arms.The warmth of Severus' palms, the blue smile in his eyes told this was no hallucination.

"Sev, what's the matter with you, Sev? Why are you in a daze." Charlotte cupped Severus's face in her hands, looking greedily at the face she had missed for a long time.

Her hair is a bit oily, it must be because of too much potion; her face is pale, she must have not slept well; her nose is still big, cute and cute; her lips are dry, as if she didn’t drink water...

Emboldened suddenly, Charlotte decided to help Severus' dry lips with her own.She didn't close her eyes, but looked into Severus' obsidian eyes, which contained shock, satisfaction, and emotion.

Severus lifted her into his lap, took the back of her head with his right hand and pressed her against him, and began to savor the fragrance he had been dreaming of for a long time.At this moment he put aside the damn Dark Mark, the damn Death Eaters, the damn Voldemort.

Charlotte wrapped her arms around Severus' neck, quietly and happily accepting his offer.It wasn't until she was out of breath that Severus let her go.Belatedly and shyly, she buried her face in the socket of Severus' shoulder.

"I miss you, Sev."

"Me too."

"I sent Xiaobai to the forest. It looks like he will become the king of the forest. With her around, no magical creatures dare to approach."

"Ah."

"I attended a wedding in Huaguo, and the bride was very beautiful. I...I think so too."

Severus hugged Charlotte tightly.

"Yes, you will be beautiful."

Why can't he watch her put on a beautiful wedding dress and hold her in his arms?

"Sev, I think Huaguo is pretty good. After you graduate, shall we go to Huaguo? There are no Death Eaters or Muggle wizards there, so we can live a good life."

Severus kissed the girl's curls, the fuzzy black hair on her forehead, and took a moment to snort a "hmmm".

"Well, if you don't like Huaguo, then don't go, anywhere, as long as I can be with you." Charlotte thought that Severus' hesitation was because he didn't like Huaguo, after all, When he was asked to learn the bracelet activation spell, he was really pissed off.

"Anywhere, anywhere," Severus murmured.

Charlotte got up, frowned and looked into Severus' eyes and said, "Sev, I think there is something wrong with you." She took Severus' face again, resting her forehead on his. forehead, staring into his eyes, "So, what's the matter with you?"

"Charlotte..." Severus seemed to be drowning in the pure blue, "You worried me too much before, I was afraid something happened to you, I think you will be fine."

So you can't be by my side, or you're in danger.

Charlotte felt a little guilty, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it either. But, is that blue bird good-looking? And that bell!"

Charlotte took out the bell from her pocket and shook it twice, and soon there was a muffled ringing from Severus' pocket.Severus took the bell out, because the moon on the bell had cracked a crack because of too much force at Voldemort's banquet.

"Huh? Why is it cracked?" Charlotte took it over and looked at it.

"Because I've been holding it," Severus said.

He drew his wand and said a spell, and soon the crack in the moon disappeared.Charlotte blushed again, holding something all the time, was she thinking about what she meant?

"If you miss me in the future, just ring the bell." Charlotte said.

"Ah."

Charlotte threw herself into Severus' arms again, and told him everything she saw in China.Severus' legs were a little numb, but he didn't want to let go of the girl in his arms.Talking until it was daylight, Charlotte's voice became smaller and smaller, and she fell asleep leaning on Severus' shoulder.

It was already dusk when Charlotte woke up again.Charlotte tried to summon the stars in the room, but there was no response the first two times, and the third time the stars suddenly appeared in front of Charlotte.

"Miss Lottie, Miss Lottie! You're all right!" Xingxing screamed in surprise when she saw Charlotte, her long nose kept wriggling, and it looked like she was about to shed snot immediately.

The pillowcase on his body became dirty, his head was bandaged, his fingers were thick and swollen like five sausages, and he looked like he had been tortured.

Charlotte put her finger on her lips, "Shh...don't be so loud." Then she took Xingxing's hand, "How could it be so swollen? Didn't you use Apparation when I teleported away? I'm sorry, I couldn't summon you in Huaguo before, and I didn't dare to summon you in front of Sif, so where did you go?"

Big tears fell out of Xing Xing's eyes, his ears were limply on both sides of his face, he lowered his voice, choked up and said: "I saw blood, Miss Lottie. Xing Xing didn't protect Miss Lottie well, Xing Xing Should be punished. Star hit the wall and put his hand in the oven. It's great that Miss Lottie is all right."

Charlotte opened her mouth, looking at Xing Xing's shiny and wrinkled head, feeling mixed emotions in her heart.She said to Xingxing seriously: "Ellen ordered you not to allow self-punishment before, do you remember? Now that he is gone, then it is up to me to order you, and you will never allow yourself to punish yourself in the future."

"Miss Lottie..."

"This is an order! Mr. Steward."

"Xing Xing understands, Xing Xing most respects Miss Lottie..." Xing Xing began to cry again.

Charlotte had a headache, "Go and treat yourself, and the family still needs you, Mr. Housekeeper."

"Okay, Miss Lottie, the stars will go now."

The twitching stars disappeared, and Charlotte collapsed on the bed as if discouraged.After dawdling for a while, when she finished changing and washing, Severus was already sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book.Charlotte hopped to Severus' side, bent down and kissed his cheek.

"Good morning."

Severus took Charlotte's hand, and Charlotte sat down beside him. "It's getting late, it's time for dinner. Can you sleep at night?"

"I don't know, I'm quite refreshed right now." Charlotte leaned on Severus' shoulder, playing with Severus' yellowish fingertips.

"Do you want me to provide the water of death?" Severus asked.

"It's okay if you can't fall asleep." Charlotte said with a smile, "Maybe I won't be able to recover in the past few days. The time difference between Huaguo and here is too big. Do you want to prepare more water of life and death?"

"Okay." Severus grabbed Charlotte's restless hand, which was about to draw circles in his palm, "Then may I ask, where has your butler gone?"

"Ah, he has something to do..." Charlotte smiled, "Are you hungry? Let me show off my cooking skills today! I have seen waiters making pastries in Huaguo, so I think I can try it .”

Charlotte kissed Severus on the cheek again, and ran to the kitchen to vomit.The ingredients in the kitchen are complete, but there are still some missing items for Huaguo snacks, so Charlotte had to make a relatively simple potato pie.

"The craftsmanship hasn't deteriorated, has it?" Charlotte said proudly.

Severus responded with action, and he ate everything that was left.After the meal, Charlotte wanted to wash herself, but was snatched by Severus, perhaps to enjoy the happy atmosphere, Severus didn't use magic, but scrubbed the dishes by himself.

Unwilling to be left alone, Charlotte hugged Severus' waist from behind and hummed a melodious tune.Although Charlotte is tone deaf, her humming is not out of tune at all.In the midst of this beautiful tune, Severus finished washing the dishes, turned around and gagged her, exchanging a slightly potato-flavored kiss with her.

This is the taste of happiness, Charlotte thought.
