[HP]Blue Soul

Life in Hogsmeade was a bit difficult, because I couldn't see Charlotte, and I couldn't gather any big information.Every day is just a few trivial things, but Wilkes is still happy to report it.Severus didn't know where Voldemort's bottom line was, so he allowed a clown to jump around in front of him.

Maybe Voldemort didn't even look at it, otherwise his crazy servant Bellatrix Lestrange would definitely come to him for months, and even give them both a Cruciatus Curse.

——Bella has never been used to anyone who can speak up in front of Voldemort.

The environment of the Pig's Head Bar was not very good, especially after a nagging woman moved in.The woman claimed to be a descendant of a prophet, wearing a pair of large glasses that can magnify her eyes several times, and always looked at everyone in the bar with a look of "you will suffer bad luck soon".

If you talk to her, she will grab your sleeve and desperately try to divination for you. If you agree to the divination, she will take the opportunity to knock you off.

Don't ask Severus how he knew, that idiot Wilkes had been blackmailed for a few Galleons and had been cursing for days, he didn't have the guts to make trouble in the Pig's Head.The eccentric owner of the Pig's Head Bar will throw people out in a bad mood.

"Did that damned woman grow up in the Hog's Head? Let's see what I do with her when she's out." Wilkes muttered, "Snape, what news have you got lately?"

Severus didn't speak, but glanced at Wilkes indifferently, watching him cringe and shut his mouth in satisfaction.Ever since Wilkes had enjoyed the pain of the invisible front, he had been afraid of Severus.

"Are you still going to the three brooms today?" Wilkes asked again.The Three Broomsticks, where people chat and drink butterbeer, is Wilkes' favorite place.

"No, the Hog's Head," Severus whispered.

The Pig's Head Bar has never been a good source of news for Severus, because the people here cover themselves tightly and speak in an extremely low voice.Unless you successfully strike up a conversation, it is difficult to get any news.Severus wasn't good at picking up conversations, Wilkes was.

Sitting at a table in the corner, Severus drank the canyon water, tapping his fingers on the table unconsciously.His eyes flicked to the table where Wilkes was, whispering to a hooded figure.

He thought it was another fruitless day, but Severus unexpectedly saw Dumbledore appear in the Hog's Head.With the iconic long hair and beard, he broke into the bar without any cover.Dumbledore sat at the table next to Severus.The bar owner angrily threw a glass of canyon water to Dumbledore.

Like a mouse smelling fishy, ​​Wilkes also quietly sat opposite Severus, pretending to rest his cheeks, but in fact his ears were pricked up.Who among the Death Eaters didn't know that Dumbledore was the leader of the Order of the Phoenix, and he would definitely get news from him.

Severus pulled up his hood to cover half of his face, his eyes fell on the table, and he drank the drink in his hand calmly and calmly.

"You... hello, Principal Dumbledore, I am Sybill Trelawney, the person who applied to you for the position of professor of divination." The mumbling woman sat opposite Dumbledore, looking I feel a little nervous.Wilkes clenched his fists, as if hearing her voice was torture.

"Hello, Ms. Trelawney. You stated in your cover letter that you are the great-great-granddaughter of the famous prophet Cassandra Trelawney, but we don't know what your lineage is. So let me ask , what are your achievements?" Dumbledore asked.

"Of course, of course. I am the first person in my family to have a second vision since Cassandra. My third eye always allows me to see unusual things. I think I have an excellent talent for divination." said Sybill Trelawney tremblingly, not looking too confident.

Dumbledore fumbled for a candy in his pocket and put it on the table, "Ms. Trelawney, you look a little nervous, would you like a candy?" Sybill Trelawney shook her hand and refused, Dumbledore Lido continued to ask, "So what is the specific achievement? Specific."

"I prophesied Louis Scott's death just a week before his death, poor old Louis, and didn't believe me at all," said Sybill Trelawney, her voice getting louder. More and more vague and distant, "People always hope that they will misread the signs of the future, and talent may become a burden, you know..."

"Mr. Lewis was diagnosed with dragon pox a few months before his death. I don't think his death needs to be predicted." Dumbledore said slowly.

"No, no, you can't talk like that." Sybill Trelawney retorted, her neck stiffened, her voice was a little shrill because of the high pitch, but she couldn't refute why.

"Is there anything else? Ms. Trelawney." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"I just made a prophecy the day before yesterday, Headmaster." Sybill Trelawney lowered her voice and moved forward. "Soon, a beautiful sapphire will lose its luster."

"Sapphire?" Dumbledore frowned. "I think there are a lot of sapphires in this world. What kind of prophecy is this?"

Dumbledore didn't understand why, but Severus, who was listening the whole time, held his cup tightly.Although this Trelawney looked like a swindler, Severus couldn't help linking the "sapphire" to Charlotte.

"No, that's not an ordinary sapphire. My third eye has seen its power." Sybill Trelawney said seriously.

Dumbledore was silent for a minute, which made Sybill Trelawney a little uneasy. She said tremblingly: "Mr. Headmaster, you don't seem to believe in divination? I have to worry about your sincerity in recruiting a professor of divination. Divination This noble art requires a gifted man, and I happen to have this gift."

"This is also my doubt, Ms. Trelawney." During the conversation, Dumbledore saw Trelawney's "liar" attribute, but did not see any talent in her, "I regret to inform you , this position is not suitable for you."

Trelawney, who was rejected, was already speechless with trembling lips.Wilkes, who had been listening all the time, laughed silently as if he had been avenged, and Severus was still stuck in the sapphire prophecy, panicked in his heart.Dumbledore got up to leave.

At this moment, Trelawney suddenly stood up.She propped her hands on the table as if possessed by a demon, and said in a low, hoarse voice that was completely different from her previous one: "The one who has the ability to defeat the Dark Lord is approaching..."

Dumbledore stopped in his tracks and looked back at Trelawney in surprise. She looked very strange.Wilkes pricked up his ears, and Severus frowned.

"Born in a family that resisted him three times, at the end of July..."

Wilkes' eyes widened, and he stood up suddenly, almost knocking over the table he brought.Severus had to stand up, and the bar owner's sharp eyes pierced him.Severus gasped for breath and cursed Wilkes for being an idiot.He was about to leave the Pig's Head Bar, but he was a step too late, and was directly punched out by the bar owner with a spell.

He gouged out a look at Wilkes, who was also down at the door of the bar, and got up in embarrassment. His hood was knocked off, and all the wizards in the bar poked their heads to watch the commotion.Severus vaguely saw Dumbledore standing where he was through the barkeep standing by the door.

"I don't know the so-called eavesdropper, don't even think about entering my bar again." The bar owner said rudely.

Severus turned his head and left, Wilkes followed behind cursing, but with a smile on his face.He kept repeating: "Big news, big news. Tell the Dark Lord he will reward me."

Severus felt anxious for no reason, and his whole body became anxious.When he just walked to the owl post office, his left arm suddenly felt hot, which meant that Voldemort was calling all the Death Eaters.The last time someone didn't heed the call, it didn't end well in the end.Severus took a deep breath and Apparated to the spot where Voldemort had summoned him.

He wasn't the first to arrive, there were already several people waiting there still in Death Eater robes and masks, with a dying man tied at their feet.Voldemort was sitting not far from them, with no expression on his blurred face, but the atmosphere was so solemn that Severus felt chills all over his body.

The Death Eaters arrived one after another, and Wilkes stood in front of the crowd without shrinking back.Severus consciously stood at his fixed position - beside Lucius, and used Occlumency habitually.

"I summoned you because I discovered an interesting thing." Voldemort played with his wand, and said casually, "The reason why the Death Eaters' actions were repeatedly destroyed by the Order of the Phoenix has finally been found out." He said like It was like singing and exclaiming, "Bella, you are doing well."

Bella knelt down on the ground and kissed Voldemort's robe feet frantically, and laughed as if she had received some great reward, "Master, this is what I should do, Master."

Bella's gesture succeeded in pleasing Voldemort. He let out a hoarse laugh, and stroked the head of the viper coiled beside him, "My most loyal servant, I should give you a reward." He took out of his arms A very fine cup of solid gold. "Keep it well, Bella."

Bella held the gold cup in her hands as if holding a priceless treasure, her voice trembling with excitement, "Thank you for your generosity, Master, I will definitely put it in the safest place."

"Then..." Voldemort leaned slightly, looking down at the people on the ground, "It's time to deal with the traitor. I'm disappointed, he—"

"Jason Smith, master," said Rodolphus Lestrange.

The name Smith made Severus clench his fists.

"Oh, Jason, I'm really disappointed," Voldemort continued. "What good can the Order of the Phoenix do to you, that you would rather betray the great Death Eaters and our common interests."

Jensen, already full of blood, spat at Voldemort and laughed maniacally, his red eyes filled with hatred.But this behavior angered Bella, she raised her wand and cast a Cruciatus Curse on Jensen, who twitched on the ground in pain.

"Severus." Voldemort's sudden roll call made Severus's heart tighten, but he didn't show his face, knelt down in front of Voldemort calmly and coldly, kissed his robe, and said, "Please You command, my master."

"Go and see what he's hiding," said Voldemort.

"Yes, my master."

Severus walked up to Jason, drew his wand and used the incantation.Severus felt a deep sense of despair in Jason's memory.

Jason is pure blood, and he has a childhood sweetheart who grew up with a Squib lover.After finally persuading his father to agree to marry Qingmei, when he told Qingmei about this surprise, he saw the huge dark mark that had not yet dissipated and his dead lover who was tortured like a broken doll.It was this huge hatred that made Jason join the Order of the Phoenix.And volunteered to infiltrate the Death Eaters and provide intelligence to the Order of the Phoenix.

Severus clenched his trembling hands, and told Voldemort what he had seen in Jason's memory in a cold voice.

But Voldemort sneered lowly: "Love, what an ethereal and useless thing." He turned his head and let out a cold and hoarse hiss at the adder entrenched beside him.

Severus knew that Voldemort was giving orders to the Adder in his Parseltongue.

Soon the Viper was crawling to Jason's side, wiping Severus' robes.For a moment, everything around fell silent, and the suffocating sound of the giant snake swallowing and rubbing resounded in the silent and suffocating space.Severus held his breath, trying his best not to think about a giant snake eating a man not far from him.

"Severus, you are doing well." Voldemort turned a deaf ear to the horrific scene. Instead, he tapped the armrest of the chair with one hand and propped up his chin with the other in pleasure, "but... a while ago you made me I'm not very satisfied..."

Severus' palms began to sweat, and he knew that Voldemort's dissatisfaction was that he had not been able to develop the wolfsbane potion.

"All the news from Hogsmeade these past few months came from you?" Voldemort asked seemingly in a good mood.

Before Severus could speak, Wilkes jumped out. He knelt on the ground excitedly and said, "It's me, it's me, Master. I've collected a lot of things."

"Oh? So it was you, Wilkes." Voldemort laughed again.Wilkes kept nodding, as excited as if he would be rewarded soon, but what he received was Voldemort's three-minute Cruciatus Curse.He kept rolling on the ground, except for howling in pain, he couldn't say anything else.

"I didn't expect such trash among the Death Eaters." Voldemort withdrew his wand and began to play with it casually. "So, Severus, are you like him?"

Severus' forehead was already covered with fine sweat, and his knees on the ground were already aching, but he didn't dare to move under Voldemort's pressure at all. He took a deep breath and said, "I heard a prophecy, Master. It comes from the prophecy of Sybill Trelawney, the great-great-granddaughter of the famous prophet Cassandra Trelawney." Severus lowered his head, and he said with some anxiety, "Master, please don't Angry, are Trelawney's words. He who has the power to defeat the Dark Lord draws near, born of the family that has resisted him three times, born at the end of July."

As soon as Severus finished speaking, the Death Eaters seemed to explode.Voldemort stood up in shock and gave Severus a Cruciatus Curse.Pain swept through Severus's body in an instant, and he clenched his teeth to keep the pain from escaping his throat.

"No one can give me death! I am Voldemort." Voldemort laughed wildly.The Death Eaters echoed in unison, as if Voldemort really flew from death just like his name.

"Sorry, Severus." Voldemort said to Severus insincerely, "Although it is nonsense, this is good news." He looked at Lucius again, "Lucius, I want to know who the child in the prophecy is, as soon as possible."

"Yes, Master." Lucius replied with a salute.

"As for you, Severus." Voldemort swallowed Severus, "continue to brew potions for Death Eaters, we will have a big fight. Developing wolfbane potion, I hope you Keep working hard. I always have your place by my side."

Back and forth, Severus' mission was back to square one.Out of the hall, Bella leaned over and sneered, and left angrily when she saw that Severus ignored him.

"Oh, it really is his loyal Bella." Lucius, who was walking beside Severus, said angrily, "The reward for her is a gold cup, and the reward for me is a broken notebook with nothing written on it."

"There are so many pregnant wizards, where can I find a baby born in July? No, the family that has resisted the Death Eaters three times must be the Order of the Phoenix. I'll go check it out."

Lucius, who was talking to himself, finally found a clue, and finally found out that something was wrong with Severus.Severus' face was frighteningly pale, and his whole body was trembling, "Severus, are you okay? Didn't you bring a palliative with you?"

"Yeah." Severus took out the demulcent from his pocket and poured it into his mouth. When the empty bottle was put back in his pocket, it jingled against the hard moon bell.Severus stroked the moon bell, wanting to see Charlotte more and more, to make sure she was okay.

The scene seen in Jason's memory was still etched in Severus' mind.Same long black hair, same Squib, Severus feared he would end up with Jason.

"I'm going first, Lucius."

After Apparating, Severus appeared in the familiar courtyard.There was still no one here, and Severus first cast a Disillusionment Charm on himself, and then went in another direction.

Charlotte and Lily are enjoying the sun in the yard.Mrs. Bagshot was there too, just sitting on Charlotte's right, smiling, stroking the black cat in her hand.

Severus stood under the tree where he had once stood again, and from his angle, he could just see Charlotte's soft profile.She was holding a book and reading sentence by sentence.

"You've been reading for three days, Charles." Lily said helplessly, leaning on the back of the chair.Her belly was so big it looked like she had stuffed a pillow in it.

Severus, who just found out that Lily was pregnant, frowned.

"You asked me to read." Charlotte closed the book and put it aside, "Because when I read, little Charlene moves." She reached out to touch Lily's stomach, but it was quiet inside. .

"Oh, I didn't ask you to read it for three days. I swear, my little Charlene will never like History of Magic. - Mrs. Bagshot, don't take offense." Lily rubbed her hands at the smiling Mrs. Bagshot, then lowered her Said in a voice, "Fork and I are neither good at history of magic, I guess the baby will be a good flyer in the future, and Fork and I both love to fly."

"If the baby has all O's in subjects like you, I will definitely buy him the latest version of the flying magic broom." Charlotte said.

"Then I can tell the baby, this is my Nimbus 1500, and it was bought for me by your godmother. Your mother was the number one in the school back then, so let's go." Lily said with a high air, Then he said in a languid manner, "I haven't touched my Nimbus 1500 for a long time, I miss the feeling of flying so much..." He said and looked at Charlotte with resentful eyes.

Charlotte said helplessly: "It won't be long before you can ride it."

"When is the due date?" asked Mrs. Bagshot.

Charlotte replied: "From the end of July to the beginning of August, we will go to St. Mungo at the end of July. We have no experience. It should be much easier to have a therapist in St. Mungo with spells and potions."

Charlotte has always understood these things better, who made her "Mother Charles".

"That's right." Mrs. Bagshot said, "You can invite me for the full moon wine or something."

"Of course I will invite you, Mrs. Bagshot." Lily agreed without hesitation. Although neither she nor James wanted to make a fuss, Mrs. Bagshot, who was so close, still wanted to invite her.

There was a pleasant conversation over there, but Severus here was like falling into an ice cellar, "end of July or beginning of August" kept echoing in his ears.

No, it can't be such a coincidence... The child in the prophecy can't be Lily's child... Merlin, don't make such jokes.

Severus thought apprehensively.
