Alice's Travels

Snape finally decided to confess to Lily.Alice was happy to see what happened, and immediately planned with him to ask Lily out to make her heart clear.

However, the scene of Lily agreeing to the invitation was noticed by Potter, and the four of them quickly blocked Snape and Alice in a slightly narrow corridor.

"What are you going to ask Lily out for—" Potter gritted his teeth and said angrily, "and what tricks are you trying to play!"

"None of your business, Potter," said Snape coldly, casting him a contemptuous glance. "This is between me and Lily."

"Stop putting on such a stinky air, snotluck." Black looked at Snape disdainfully, and there seemed to be hatred in his haughty eyes, "You don't deserve to be friends with Gryffindor at all!"

"What are you, Black?" Snape sneered, and said to Potter without looking at him, "don't try to show your arrogance and arrogance in front of me, it will only make people Nausea!"

Potter pulled out his wand without hesitation, "Come on, Snotlite. You can fight me one-on-one if you have the guts—"

Snape immediately confronted him with his wand drawn.The eyes of the two collided fiercely, and there seemed to be an atmosphere of tension in the air.

Lupine moved his lips and stood aside with Black.Peter stared silently at Alice from a position set back beside them.

Alice looked at Potter coldly, her lips pursed.

Snape's and Potter's wands aimed at each other and emitted a white light at the same time. The two lights rushed together before being scattered by another light that suddenly appeared.

"Stop, children." A loud voice broke in suddenly.

Several people turned around and saw Principal Dumbledore walking over quickly, looking at them with serious eyes through the half-moon glasses and said, "Now is not the time to fight, and there is a limit to being mischievous, right? Children, you I think such an action needs to be punished with a confinement."

"Professor, I think you can take some time out of your busy schedule to pay more attention to the management of the students?" The stagnant atmosphere in the air was broken, and Alice immediately said to Dumbledore, "After all, the conflict among the students is serious. It is also very likely to have serious consequences."

Dumbledore's expression became serious for a moment, his eyes hidden behind the half-moon glasses flickered, he turned to look at Alice and said, "Oh, you are—"

"Alice Altman, Professor."

"How long have you been here—what grade are you in, Alice?" Dumbledore asked gently, looking at her insightfully.

"Fourth grade." Alice suddenly had a strange feeling for some reason.She lowered her eyes slightly and stopped looking at Dumbledore.

Snape glanced at them, took a step in Dumbledore's direction, stood in front of Alice and said, "As you can see, this is my hand with Potter, Professor. Alice shouldn't be punished, right?"

"It seems that you have always been good friends?" Dumbledore said in a mysterious tone.

"Professor Dumbledore! I can testify that what he said is true-the fact is that there is only a duel between James and Snape. It really has nothing to do with Alice!" Peter suddenly stood up from behind and said loudly.

Dumbledore's gaze flicked over the four of Potter, then over Snape, and finally landed on Alice.

"You have known each other for four years, but I have never noticed—" Dumbledore suddenly said softly, staring carefully at Alice's clear black eyes, "So, have you noticed any difference in yourself, Alice?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about, professor..." Alice looked up at him inexplicably, "I'm just an ordinary student—"

"No, Alice Altman, you're not like anyone else, you're not a student anymore—"

"What do you mean..." Alice felt her heart tremble slightly, as if something was about to burst out of its shell.

"You are a ghost, Alice." Dumbledore slowly told the truth under the shocked expressions of everyone.

But it is definitely different from ordinary ghosts.

A special soul who can hide himself at any time and influence the thinking of those around him.

It can only be seen by certain people, it can affect the memory of other people, and it can even pretend to be a normal person and live among the many students and teachers in Hogwarts.

Dumbledore conjures up neglected memories of the ones he's been affected by - a glimpse of ghosts sitting at the Slytherin table at Commencement, Halloween and Christmas dinners.The soul wandering in Hogwarts all the time, wandering around forgetting its own past and its own death.Even before the soul voluntarily revealed itself, no one ever noticed.

Alice's pupils dilated for an instant.

Countless memory fragments exploded in her mind, connecting the past, present, and future to form a timeline of her own.

She remembered—

Why did no one take the initiative to talk to her in the first place, why everyone ignored her, and why she couldn't sleep at night.Not even the mirror could see her at all—all she saw was what she imagined in her mind as she remembered it.

She forgot about her own death.

Forgot... Draco.

Alice finally looked down and saw her transparent body floating on the ground.

As if in the blink of an eye, Alice's body gradually dissipated like a mist, starting from the feet and spreading upwards - after she realized her own death.

The time of the past and the future are intertwined, and in the long time axis of the universe, there are countless timelines unique to each person, running parallel or interlaced through their independent past and future.The air seemed to vibrate like a circle of ripples.

"Professor, please trust Sif..."

Alice only had time to say one last word to Dumbledore before she disappeared into thin air.

"No!" Peter screamed suddenly.

Snape stared in shock in the direction Alice disappeared, his face pale.

In the next second, several people closed their eyes at the same time.Dumbledore immediately waved his wand to catch their falling bodies and slowly put them on the ground.

Everything seems to be back to normal.

Dumbledore stopped where he was, a peaceful light shone behind his half-moon glasses.

The disappearance of the ghost also took away the memories she had left at Hogwarts.Unless someone stronger than her can not be affected by this special ability, everything will return to the original.

Only Dumbledore preserved the memory of Alice.He speculated that when Alice, who was hovering between life and death, learned the truth, she might have gone to another destination, or she might be about to welcome a new life—reincarnation.

Snape asked Lily to go to the big lawn outside the castle, sat under a lush tree and chatted happily all afternoon.They reconciled.

For some reason, Snape suddenly had the idea of ​​telling Lily the darkness about himself, and he immediately twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly, and put that ridiculous thought behind him.

After the sky darkened, Lily happily waved goodbye to Snape.When she left, Snape turned and walked down the stairs, stopping suddenly before entering the Slytherin lounge.

His feet walked in one direction as if uncontrollably, habitually bypassing those stairs, until he stopped in front of a stone wall.Snape narrowed his eyes, looking at the wall unpredictably.

Today... seems a little strange.Snape stood expressionlessly for a while, then walked back to the dormitory.

Hogwarts remained as calm as water.Time moves forward as usual.

Your past is my future, and your future has lived through my past.

After Alice disappeared from Hogwarts, she came to a white space with two heavy wooden doors standing at both ends.One black and one red seem to represent two destinations.

Alice put her hand on the handle of the black wooden door. She hesitated for a while, and was about to open it when she heard a faint voice coming from the other side.

Alice walked to the red door on the opposite side, and gradually heard the faint voice coming from inside the door—like a person's sobbing and weeping.

It's Draco.

Alice reached out and opened the door, and a wonderful suction quickly pulled her body into the intense light.

Everything is silent again.

A howl of pain suddenly sounded in the huge Malfoy Manor.

Peter hugged his head in pain and curled up on the cold floor, tears streaming down his face.

The memories that had been blurred suddenly came back—those memories engraved in the bottom of my heart, the person who was carefully placed on the top of my heart and wanted to be cared for forever...

Alice -

Alice -

She came alive.She was reincarnated.

But God, look what he's done to himself!

He actually dedicated his most beloved girl to the Dark Lord with his own hands! ! !

Alice.

Peter opened his bloodshot eyes in an instant, his pale face twisted and trembling.

He pushed his faith to the brink.

Heartbreaking, but that's all.
