[hp] Pure White Age

Only responsible for keeping the wizard's property, not participating in the war!You can't take other people's stuff! "

"Then verify my identity."

"What did you say?" Griphook asked in bewilderment, and the other goblins started talking too.At the same time, Ron, who was standing next to Harry, relaxed his brows, and he lowered his head to convey his guess to Hermione. "I said, verify my identity." Harry repeated, "The security level of the Lestrange vault is the highest. Since I want to take it, shouldn't you verify my identity first?"

Griphook choked on him. He had never encountered such an absurd request in his hundreds of years of work. "Okay, okay, if you insist." He looked around uncertainly, and finally decided to lead a few apprentices to verify Harry Potter's identity for himself, to see if he was the Dark Lord.

"Hermione, I'll go in with Ron later, you stay here and keep an eye on that sword, we may need you at any time."

Hermione nodded. "No weapons of any kind are allowed in the vault!" Griphook slapped the table hard, and before he could yell a second time, both Harry and Ron surrendered their wands and passed the first and second checks.

"Okay, now it's time to verify your identity." Griphook said angrily, "As the vault with the highest level of security, we need an additional blood test for the owner..." Once again, Harry interrupted him with action , stretched out his hand.The bright red blood flowed into the golden hole, and Griphook even turned his head away from the results displayed in the verification box, but stared at Harry's face, wondering what kind of tricks he was playing.

"Merlin!"

The exclamation of the other two goblins brought Griphook back to his thoughts, and he turned his head, his eyes almost pressed against the gold verification box.After a while, he raised it violently: "No, this is impossible..."

"I told you, I am the Dark Lord." Harry's voice became colder again. "Gringotts is only responsible for protecting wizards' property, right? Now I want mine."

Griphook seemed to want to say something, but he swallowed the words and opened the second door. "Follow me." He got into the car in a daze, "We're going to Lestrange's vault."

All the way silent.Harry could see that Ron wanted to ask questions, but even he didn't know how to answer them.That voice told him everything, Dumbledore, King's Cross, the choice "he" had made between him and Voldemort... He took Ron's hand and signaled to his friend that everything was fine.Interestingly, this move succeeded in quieting the soul fragments in his body.

"I've never shaken anyone's hand." The voice sounded confused and jealous.

"Do you think it's possible for your former master to be resurrected?"

"My master?" the voice laughed. "I never had a master. The ego is taken out of your soul, and Voldemort becomes my Horcrux. Don't worry, Harry Potter, until I'm fully integrated." Your soul, you can completely sever the connection with Voldemort, and become the master of all Horcruxes. And Voldemort... Even if he can take Nagini away today, it will be difficult to integrate that piece of soul fragments back, at most become A new soul with its own skin..."

"I will not only kill Voldemort, but also destroy his body. As long as his body is alive, the Death Eaters will believe in him and do evil in his name. Today I must kill the grass. "

The voice was silent for a long time. "You surprised me." "He" said, "To be honest, I am very happy to be back in your body. This is my original home. I believe that in the future we can all teach each other some useful things."

"If I slack off, will you control me? I mean...make me a different person?"

"That's a deep question." The voice was still smiling. "I'm just a fragment of my soul, and when I left you, I was a baby like you. I didn't stop Voldemort from being what he wanted to be, more so. I won't stop you. However, now that I have traces of Voldemort, no one knows what will happen after the fusion."

Harry pondered for a while: "I will get along well with you, after all, we were originally one."

The voice didn't speak anymore, and the pain in Harry's body disappeared instantly.The whole thing was indeed horribly weird, but Harry couldn't help smiling. He finally fully understood Dumbledore's intentions.For so many years, he had shared memories and Parseltongue with Voldemort through this piece of soul, and for so many years, he had been tortured by a certain lack in his heart, and now he was finally whole.He has the confidence to integrate the "self" that once stayed in Voldemort's body very well, because he is Harry Potter, the Harry Potter loved and trusted by everyone.

Next to the Lestrange vault, a huge Ukrainian armored dragon was locked. As Griphook approached, it lowered its head hesitantly, as if waiting for orders.No one present could ignore the scars on its body.

Korrabin ignored it.The old goblin poured Harry's blood into the mechanism at the door, and the door of the vault opened slowly.

"...Ron?"

The pale boy couldn't believe the person standing in front of him, he even lowered his head and rubbed his eyes.Nagini stood up alertly behind Draco, then quickly lowered his head.Apparently, its poor vision mistook the visitor for the owner.Harry called out to the voice again in his heart, walking towards Nagini step by step.Behind him, Ron and Draco embraced tightly.

Harry stroked Nagini's head as the voice said, and it worked out well for him.

"Are you sure you want to take them?" Beside him, Griphook asked in a low voice.

Harry nodded.

Ten minutes later, he walked out the second door with Ron and Draco, and Nagini followed them docilely, unaware of his own death. "When we have the chance, we should let the dragon go," the voice said to him. "I hate snakes. Dragons are so awesome."

Harry smiled.

Hermione was waiting for them by the door, and he took the Gryffindor sword from her.

☆、Later story

01

Three days after Battle Night, the Daily Prophet confirmed Voldemort's death.The post-war reconstruction of Hogwarts is in full swing.In the streets of Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley, a large number of wizards held a parade to celebrate.

"Harry, how are you getting ready?" Hermione called to him through the door. "The meeting is about to start."

"I'll be right there!" Harry wiped his glasses.Two weeks had passed since the night of the decisive battle. During this time, he voluntarily stayed at Hogwarts like many others, assisting the professors in handling various tasks.The upcoming meeting was about the necklace, and the members of the Order of the Phoenix had been arguing with the Hogwarts professors for two days and two nights about its fate.

"Is Ron here?"

"Who knows?" Hermione probably curled her lips. "Anyway, he will appear at the same time as Draco. I haven't seen him a few times recently."

"Understandable." Harry said with a smile.

Ron and Draco were fifteen minutes late, and Harry tried not to stare at Ron's hair and lips because that would make him feel guilty.The voice kept laughing wildly inside him: "They really are a glue couple, aren't they? When will you and Lucian develop into this?" "I didn't think so much," Harry replied honestly, "You and Hogg Watts is enough to keep me occupied."

"Well, at least stay out of him until I'm gone. I need a lot of help, and you have to make it up to me first."

Harry was amused by the bluntness of the voice, Hermione next to him showed a puzzled look, he straightened his posture quickly, and beckoned Ron and Draco to sit beside him. "Good morning," said Ron briskly, and Harry gave him a teasing look.Draco nodded at him too, and took Ron's hand under the table very naturally. "A guy who is clingier than you." Harry secretly complained to the voice.

"The two came just in time." Professor McGonagall, who was sitting at the end of the long table, said with a smile, "Anything you want to share with us?"

"We stayed in the library overnight and made some new discoveries." Ron replied to the professor, and let go of Draco's hand to turn over the parchment on the table, so the other party put his arm on the back of his chair instead. "Both Draco and Hermione have searched for information about the necklace in the restricted area, but only Draco has found a book, and the information is still incomplete..."

"Draco said yesterday that the book was specially arranged by Dumbledore in order for him to discover it." Hermione said, out of a strong thirst for knowledge, she was very concerned about the nature of the necklace, "maybe the necklace was originally There are not many records left in the world."

"I agree." Draco nodded. "Last night, Ron and I checked the newly arrived books in recent years, and found no record of the necklace, but because of this, we had some bold guesses."

Hermione frowned: "You mean..."

"That necklace is most likely not a Dark Magic item," Ron replied.This sentence caused whispers at the long table, and Ron turned his head to look at the faces of the professors. Obviously, Professor Flitwick did not accept this point of view. "Not a dark magic item!" he yelled. "Just look at how it's made..."

"At present, we only found one book that records it, and that book is called "Instructions for the Use of Ancient Magic Items." Draco tapped the cover of the large tome on the table with his knuckles, "Ancient magic items... …with all due respect, it’s a very neutral word.”

"We searched all the books with 'ancient magic items' in the title, as well as other works of the author of the book," Ron stood up, and handed the parchment full of notes to the professors, "and found that many of them were collected in Items from the Department of Mysteries are documented, including the Time-Turner and the Death Veil, and we should not jump to conclusions about the necklace if we are unsure of the nature of the item in the Department of Mysteries."

"What's more, although opal stones, unicorn blood and mermaid tears are difficult to obtain, they may not necessarily lead to killing." Draco added, "We found in the library that witches in ancient tribes raised unicorns. History, as well as the legend of the merfolk at Lake Taylor who weep profusely after childbirth, are recorded to match the time when the necklace was made."

"Although the time spell and space spell needed to make necklaces have been lost, they are not black magic." Hermione took Draco's words, and it was obvious that she did not dislike this new idea. hunch..."

"This matter is very serious," said Professor McGonagall. "Are you willing to bear the consequences of not destroying the necklace in time?"

After lengthy discussions, it was finally decided to extend the Necklace's destruction plan for five years.During these five years, the research team headed by Hermione will be responsible for the follow-up research work.This necklace is a treasure that has traveled through a long history to modern times. Its functions have not been fully excavated, not to mention that the wizarding world may find the lost space-time spell through it. If it is not worried about taking risks, no one wants to watch it it destroys.Just after a light rain in the morning, Harry walked down the steps of the main building of the castle and felt the fresh air outside.Behind him, Ron was trying to persuade Hermione to go to Hogsmeade and have some fun, and Hermione didn't seem to appreciate it.

"Do you think five years is a long time, Ron?" Harry heard her say, "We're taking a huge risk every second from now if we don't find something useful in five years and the necklace in the necklace The desire space is still growing..."

"Even if the necklace is destroyed now, the desire space will always exist." Ron told her, "Remember my experience of breaking into the Department of Mysteries in Tom Riddle's space? Although those spaces are people in this world Created by our subjective will, but they have an absolute equal status with the space we live in. When a space encounters an intruder, all spaces will be affected.”

"So we will close all the doors in the necklace and forbid people from this world to enter other spaces." Draco said, "Voldemort was fearless because of ignorance. We can't repeat his mistakes and take risks for our lives. The world brings unpredictable fluctuations."

"Okay, okay, I figured it out," Hermione raised her hands in surrender, "so you guys have planned everything."

"Hey! Don't look sorry, you can still use it to study time and space spells." Ron laughed, "But there is another very important reason why we want to keep it for a few years..." After finishing, He put his mouth close to Hermione's ear, which prevented Harry from hearing what they were saying, but he wasn't worried, they would tell him later.

"Are you going to Hogsmeade yet?" he turned and shouted at his friends. "Aberforth's beer is free today, but it won't be there tonight!"

"Merlin! Then we have to hurry!" Hearing the beer call, Ron jumped down from the steps and ran towards Harry. Draco and Hermione followed him helplessly.

"Hermione,"

Hermione turned her head in surprise, the blond boy behind her was staring at her.He had never called her that in his seven years at Hogwarts.

"I'm very sorry."

He didn't explain the reason for the apology, but Hermione couldn't fail to understand.She subconsciously looked in Ron's direction. The red-haired friend had never heard this conversation, and he was running happily towards Harry.

She turned her head again and smiled: "It's okay."

02

In the first semester after Hogwarts was rebuilt, a new monument was erected in Godric's Hollow.On September [-], when King's Cross Station was once again filled with young wizards and their parents, a group of people who participated in the war returned to Godric's Hollow with flowers in hand.

"Draco didn't come?" Hermione conjured a wreath with her wand.

"His 'business' has been booming, even if it's not the weekends," Ron shrugged. "You know that."

Both Harry and Hermione had smiles on their faces.Now, they already know the real purpose of Draco and Ron's necklaces, which is to contact the afterlife world where Regulus is, to help people in this world return to their relatives and friends who died in the war, and to talk to them Minutes. "I hope that people will no longer be afraid of death," Draco once said, "because the fear of death and the desire to leap to death always go hand in hand, and they take people's attention away from what they really have. ...the world cannot afford a second Voldemort."

Because people knew they could meet real souls through Draco, the monuments to souls were relatively neglected, which was unconventional, but Harry thought it was a good thing.He also placed a bouquet of flowers under the monument, which was for Dumbledore and Snape, who had left the spirit world, so it was still the only way to mourn.Harry closed his eyes and spoke to them inwardly.

"Pansy Parkinson's here too," he heard Hermione whisper to Ron. "Is she here to mourn Blaise Zabini?"

"I think so," Ron replied. "She's been to Draco's twice, but the second time Blaise's spirit disappeared in front of her. He was very weak and didn't last long."

"Merlin." Hermione sighed. "That must have been hard. How did he die?"

"I think only Parkinson knows. After Blaise left, Draco and I tried talking to her, but she wouldn't say anything." Ron paused for a moment, "We guess he was trying to save her, They're a couple."

"But they were obviously safe at that time, no one attacked the divination classroom at all."

"That's why I said, she's hiding a secret."

Harry opened his eyes, unsure whether to tell his two friends that Pansy Parkinson had come to him unsolicited.All this time he had been living in Snape's office, until Pansy Parkinson had knocked on his door last month. "I want to talk to you," she said straight to the point. In retrospect, Blaise's soul should have disappeared by then, and the girl's face was very pale.

"About what?" he asked at the time.

"The spell that saved your life," Parkinson said rapidly. "I heard Weasley say that the spell could save someone you love. I wonder... do you remember how it felt?"

Harry wanted to help her, but could only shake his head: "I was just a baby then, all I knew was that it left me with this scar."

Parkinson's eyelashes trembled, she put down the box in her hand, and opened the sleeve of her right hand.Harry was surprised to find that there was also a flower-shaped scar on her right arm. "Daffodils," Parkinson explained. "I think that's proof that Blaise saved me with that spell."

"You don't know how he died. In fact, I don't know either." She put down her sleeves, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes. "The divination classroom is obviously very safe. We and our two children were well protected. At that time I am in pain, because since I defected, Voldemort has been torturing me through the Dark Mark, I can feel his malice and resentment, seeping into my body from the mark, I intuitively feel that he wants to slow me down Die slowly... Blaise has been comforting me, as long as you can defeat Voldemort, the mark will be invalid. I have been relying on this belief to hold my breath, but it was too painful. Later, I was exhausted and fell into a coma .”

"When I woke up, Professor Flitwick told me that Brace was dead. When they found us, the baby was crying, and he was holding my hand, and his body was already cold. They asked me if I knew how What happened, I said I didn't know, but later I discovered this scar."

Harry didn't know what to say, he felt his throat was drying up: "...Is there anything else I can do for you?"

"I want to know the exact time when you defeated Voldemort." Parkinson wiped away tears.Harry understood in an instant that what the other party really wanted to determine was whether Voldemort decided to kill the betrayer who took his children at the moment of death, and Blaise saved her with love.

"I'll give you the answer." In the end, he could only say this, even though both of them understood that the answer itself was not important.

Returning to Hogwarts from Godric's Hollow, everyone returned to work.With her excellent graduation grades and her status as the leader of the necklace research team, Hermione booked a teaching position, and she will officially become a Hogwarts professor in five years.Professor McGonagall had also offered an olive branch to Harry, Ron and Draco, thinking that they were all good candidates for teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts, but the three boys were going to reconsider, after all, they were not sure whether Dedicate your life to education.

Some revisions were made to the textbooks used by the new class of students, and Harry and the others contributed a lot to this.Throughout the summer vacation, Harry stayed in Snape's office as the headmaster's assistant, helping Headmaster McGonagall do some data sorting.Draco and Ron would come over to help every now and then, and Draco said his parents had wanted him to work in St. Mungo's, but they'd stopped talking about it after the war and just wanted to enjoy life.Ron used to want to be an Auror as much as Harry did (which Gryffindor doesn't have Auror dreams), but now it seems that he also enjoys his time doing research with Hermione.

"When I entered this school, I never imagined that I would like to read." Ron said, "But now I find that I like the process of asking questions and solving them slowly." He said A smile filled Draco's eyes as he said this. "He is the only one of us who fully understands Dumbledore's intentions." While Ron was pouring black tea, the blond boy said to Harry, "I think he does have the talent for academics. Of course, it depends on what he likes." What."

Harry smiled. "When are you going to let Molly and Arthur know about you?"

"They already knew." Draco replied after a moment of thought, "But... next month I will invite Mr. and Mrs. Weasley to my house for dinner."

"It could be the Malfoys going to the Burrow." Harry winked at him, and Draco smiled.

After the memory was over, Harry washed his face and went to Dumbledore's office through the laughing students.He walked to the Pensieve, took out the small bottle in his pocket, and poured the thoughts in the bottle into the basin.Since Snape's death, he has entered his thoughts countless times. Through the vision in the basin and Ron's dictation, Harry gradually pieced together a complete Snape in his heart, the one who loved his mother but lived his whole life. A man who never expressed.He watched how he was ashamed to strike up a conversation with a girl when he was young; how he was entangled in this unspoken secret love; how he fell; how disappointed by the girl's disappointment in him; how jealous; how he allowed ridiculous beliefs to destroy the love of his life.In the final sequence, where he slowly collapses in front of his student, a young Death Eater, Lily Evans' eyes are the last thing on his mind.Snape always knew he was dying, but he gave his life in order to convince Voldemort that he had the Elder Wand and add weight to his victory.

"You're here again." A sigh came from behind.

The black-haired boy didn't look back, his hands were still resting on the edge of the Pensieve, and his quiet breathing was rippling in the space.McGonagall stared after him until he finally turned around.She had seen Harry's tears in the days immediately after the war, but they were not so common now.

"Professor," he said, "that voice in me tells me that Dumbledore has an evil side too... like Snape."

"Everyone is complicated, Harry," McGonagall answered him. "Dumbledore was a very proud man and went after what Grindelwald and Voldemort were after. I thought Ron and Draco had put He told you his story."

The boy was silent for a long time.

"Professor, do you think... I am really competent?"

"It's up to you," McGonagall said.Beside them, a portrait of Dumbledore was sleeping behind a desk.

03

As Hermione had expected, five years was a short time.Although the research team has published many results related to space-time spells during this period, the research on the necklace cannot be exhausted, and the day of destroying the necklace is coming as scheduled.

"Mom, how long before I can go to Hogwarts?"

Hermione and Rolf looked at each other and smiled in a hurry, and Rolf knelt down and stroked his daughter's hair: "It's going to be so long since you were born before you can go to Hogwarts." At this moment, the bathroom A childish cry came from inside: "Dad!" It was Hugo who had taken a bath.

Rose obediently jumped out of her father's arms, ran to her mother and hugged her waist.Hermione took advantage of the opportunity to help her daughter tie her pigtails: "Delphie and Narcissus will also come today, remember to get along well with your brothers and sisters." Hearing this, Rose's pretty face wrinkled into a ball, "I don't like them ,” she muttered in a low voice, “Delphi doesn’t like to talk, and Narcissus always bullies Hugo.”

"He just wants to play with you and Hugo, don't you notice he's always peeping at you?" Hermione said with a smile.Rose obviously didn't buy into this reason. She waited for her mother to comb her hair, and ran to the door to put on her shoes with her lips pursed.Hermione shook her head helplessly at Rolf, who came out of the bathroom with Hugo in his arms. It was a matter of education for the next generation, and Professor Granger, who had a bright academic future, couldn't do the same.

When the family of four arrived at the appointed place, Harry, Lucian, Ron, and Draco were already waiting there. Delphi and Narcissus were holding hands and leaning against the legs of the three uncles. Behind them, a large car was parked. Thestral carriage.After discussion in the school, everyone decided not to make too much noise on the day when the necklace was destroyed, and only arranged for them to complete this task.Several people chatted on the spot, and boarded the carriage together.The destination this time is the Sargasso Sea in the North Atlantic Ocean, the Bermuda Triangle that is full of dangers in Muggle mouths and has spawned countless dramas/events. It is also the only fixed space-time rift found in the wizarding world so far.According to Hermione's research, as long as the necklace is put into the crack created by the energy of the necklace itself, the necklace and the crack will swallow each other, thus destroying together.

"The last time I was connected, I told the people in the spirit world about it." Draco said as the Thestral carriage flew through the dense forest, "Regulus didn't feel anything about it, he said He and Lily have discussed it long ago, and they will leave the soul world when the connection is severed."

Everyone in the carriage looked at Harry in unison.Harry was holding Narcissus on his lap, reading the coloring book of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" with him, met the eyes of everyone, and smiled: "They have indeed been there long enough."Ron and Draco glanced at each other. They had just arranged for Harry to meet people in the soul world last week. Probably this time, Harry Potter really said goodbye to those who loved him.

Delphi tugged at the corner of Ron's clothes, and Ron lowered his head to talk to her.He and Draco had their own ideas about the education of Voldemort's offspring.Although telling the two children about their origins was a risk, they eventually convinced Harry.Now Delphi is adopted under the name of Ron and Draco, and Narcissus is adopted under the name of Lucian. Even so, the love they have is shared, and all families care about these two children equally. Xi'an's parents and Hermione's family will also provide some support when Harry and the others are unable to get away.

"Why can't I go to Hogwarts earlier?" Delphi tugged at the hem of his skirt with some dissatisfaction, "I've already finished reading the first grade textbook, so it's not difficult at all, and it's not dangerous at all." Ron said Hold her by the shoulder, and carefully explain the reason why Hogwarts stipulates the entrance age.Compared with her twin brother, who devoted herself to Fantastic Beasts and Weasley joke shops, Delphi fully inherited the wisdom of her biological father, and showed an extraordinary interest in Defense Against the Dark Arts very early on. Difficulty communicating with peers.

"I just prefer to stay with uncles and aunts." She lowered her eyelashes pitifully, "Can't I just talk to adults? At least I can learn something from talking to you." Ruth and Hugo walked right in front of her. "Sister, do you want some candy?" Hugo said in a low voice, his expression was a little hurt, but he still tried his best to smile at this indifferent and beautiful young lady.

"Thank you, Hugo." Delphi took it with some embarrassment, and exchanged glances with Ron, "Well, can I tell you a story, Hugo?"

"Okay!"

Rose glanced at the innocent and silly little brother, and turned her head to meet Delphi's probing gaze, which reminded her of what her mother said: "Sister Delphi is a sensitive girl, and deep down, she is afraid that she will change." Be like Voldemort. She wants you to like her, but she doesn't know how to get along with others. Smart Rose can help her, right?"

She handed Delphi the book in her backpack: "Can you tell us about this?"

Delphi nodded vigorously, and carefully took the collection of fairy tales from Rose.

"We've arrived." Draco reminded everyone.In the past five years, he has used it to comfort many people and souls. No one knows better than him that the necklace is not evil. However, for the stability of the world, it is time to end all of this.He took off the necklace from his neck, and stretched his hand out of the carriage under the encouraging eyes of everyone.In just an instant, the crack opened, and the necklace fell into the sparkling sea, bringing an end to the era that had nurtured countless heroes and demons.

Ron kissed him on the cheek.The wedding ring on the red-haired man's hand gleamed mischievously in the sunlight.It was August, just as they had first met.Draco hugged his only partner in this life, and responded to his kiss. He seemed to retreat back to the time before the story, to a clean, pure white wasteland. The only thing that remains unchanged is the warmth of the lover's lips.

Looking at the lovers embracing each other, Harry felt unprecedentedly happy. "I think it's time for me to leave," said the inner voice, "I mean, fully integrate with you. You'll try to be happy too, right?"

"I promise you." He said silently in his heart.Lucian and Hermione sensed his strangeness and held his hand tacitly. "Uncle Harry, what's wrong with you?" Narcissus shook his body gently.

"Uncle is fine, Narcissus." Harry softly replied to the child, "It's the voice in my uncle's heart that has left." After a while, he said to the people in the carriage: "Principal McGonagall always wanted me to take over from her." position... I think I'll do it."

"I support you, Harry, no matter what." Ron put his arm around Draco's shoulder and smiled lazily, "At least you're not like some people who became an Auror without consulting anyone."

Draco looked away unnaturally, "After leaving the necklace, I realized that life without tasks is really boring."

Delphi blinked and turned to Ron: "Is this why you transferred from the research team to the Auror Command?" This time, the person who looked away was replaced by Ron, and the sadness in the car was wiped away. , the atmosphere became cheerful again.Harry subconsciously touched the scar on his forehead.Over the past five years, he and that voice have experienced many times of pain, and he knows that the scar will continue to hurt in the next time.

But he also knew that it was all worth it.
