The Years Welding at Hogwarts
Chapter 259
A dark wave spread from the Resurrection Stone. Snape’s eyes stared straight into the void in front of him, but nothing happened.
“This is…Severus?”
A slightly confused voice sounded behind Snape without warning.
The moment this familiar voice that had haunted him for more than ten years sounded, Snape was ejected from his chair as if he was electrocuted. He stood up, and the armchair under him was knocked backwards by his calf.
The figure behind reached out to help hold a chair, but her hands were empty, and the chair was unimpeded. The ground passed through her hand, as if the chair was just an illusory projection.
No, to be precise, she was the illusory projection.
Lily’s current appearance does not look like the inside of Hogwarts Castle. Those ghosts floating around are not living people of flesh and blood.
She is just a memory that is almost turning into a physical entity. It is not as solid as the body of a living person, but it is much more real than ghosts.
Looking at this very familiar figure in front of me , Snape spent a lot of perseverance to suppress the tears in his eyes, and did not slip out from the corners of his eyes.
Lily’s appearance still stayed on that night more than ten years ago, even the clothes on her body were long and long. Her crimson hair was spread loosely behind her head, and her green eyes, which were exactly the same as Shirley’s, revealed a bit of doubt.
“Severus, haven’t I already……”
Snape took a deep breath, his tone involuntarily trembling,”Voldemort will kill you.””
“Anne and Harry……”
“They are both doing well now, I adopted Annie and Harry was adopted by his aunt’s family.”
When he said”They are all doing well,” even with Snape’s level of Occlumency, it was difficult for him to keep his old face from blushing. Lily was as smart as she could see through Snape’s lies at a glance.
With her sister’s mean temperament, she would have been thankful if Harry could live at a level of food and clothing after being adopted by them.
Lily did not choose to expose it.
She lifted up a few strands of hair hanging from her ears. Behind the ear,”You adopted Annie? Can I meet her?”
Hearing Lily’s request, Snape nodded without hesitation,”Of course.”
But then he realized a very serious problem, that is, in the more than ten years since he adopted the Potters’ daughter Anne, also known as Shirley, he had never told Shirley the truth about her life experience..
He even changed the name of his daughter, and even the surname was changed to Snape.
Shirley Snape
“Ah no, no.”
Snape regretted it as soon as he said the words, and he hurriedly tried to make amends,”No, I didn’t mean that, I meant Snow… uh, Annie, she is going out to play with her friends now.”
The hurried exit seemed to reveal something terrible. A trace of cold sweat broke out on Snape’s forehead. The old face that had become expressionless due to Occlumency was also lying at this moment. And an abnormal red color with a ghost inside emerged.
“Yeah?”
Lily’s eyes fell on the inconspicuous black stone in Snape’s hand.
There were several shallow lines on the simple stone, which were connected with each other to form a triangle, circle and vertical line. A strange pattern.
Any wizard who knows something about the Three Deathly Hallows will not be unfamiliar with this pattern, especially since the Potter family is the descendant of the three Peverell brothers who originally held the Three Hallows.
“That’s the Resurrection Stone, right?”
Looking closely at Snape, Lily said in an almost pleading tone,”Please, Severus, I just want to see if my children are doing well, even if it’s just from a distance..”
In response to Lily’s request, Snape was completely unable to utter any words of rejection, not even a simple word”no”.
He lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.
“I can arrange a meeting between you and Anne, but……”
Snape’s heart was in turmoil. He didn’t know how he was going to tell Shirley about her true life experience.
Lily said it lightly, but the actual situation was not as simple as she said – if Snape only needed to reveal her true life experience to Shirley, then he wouldn’t have to worry about it.
Just imagine, when Shirley, who has never felt maternal love, learns that her biological parents are the Potters, what is the most likely thing she will do?
It must be that you want to understand what kind of people your biological parents you have never met are like through various channels and aspects, such as descriptions from your parents’ relatives and friends.
She would want to know everything about her parents, their lives, how they died… and this was the most difficult thing for Snape to tell Shirley.
In the eleven years after Lily was killed by Voldemort, Snape never spent a day without regret. Even adopting Lily’s daughter could not alleviate the guilt in his heart – because , the death of the Potters was, to a large extent, inseparable from him.
Eleven years ago, it was he who eavesdropped on the prophecy made by Sybill Trelawney in the Hog’s Head pub about the relationship between the savior of the British wizarding world and the Dark Lord Voldemort.
It was precisely because he informed the master he was loyal to at the time of part of the prophecy that he eavesdropped on that led Voldemort to mark Harry as his old enemy.
Of course, if Sirius Black hadn’t been clever and changed the secret keeper of the Potters’ hiding place to Peter Pettigrew, who had already secretly turned to Voldemort, then the Potters would not have been found by Voldemort.
But Snape didn’t know about this.
Even if he knew, with Snape’s character, he would not leave his share of the blame to Sirius who made his own decisions.
In his opinion, Lily’s death was entirely his fault.
Although only very few people knew about this matter, Snape had already made a mistake eleven years ago, and he was unable and unwilling to continue on the wrong path.
He must tell Shirley the truth.
However, when Shirley learns that the adoptive father who has adopted her for eleven years is actually one of the culprits who killed her biological parents, will she still accept herself?
Although such an approach was selfish, he had already lost Lily, and he could no longer accept Shirley leaving him.
Snape slowly closed his eyes.
After a long time, he opened his black eyes again.
In the state of Occlumency, Snape’s black eyes no longer showed any complicated emotions, and were replaced by a pool of stagnant water.
“I will arrange for you to meet Annie, but you have to give her some time to accept it.”
Lily just smiled and nodded.
As Snape put down the Resurrection Stone in his hand, Lily’s figure disappeared into the air suddenly, as if it had never appeared before. It was all just an illusion of Snape’s. That’s all
……
After leaving Snape’s study, the first thing Noah did when he returned to his room was to tear the time turner that Snape had given him into pieces.
In the standard Gringotts errand that day, Shirley was just a tourist.
As the daughter of the New York Police Commissioner, Gwen said that she would not”collude” with Noah and other gangsters, so she just stood there and was responsible for protecting Shirley’s safety, and did not participate in the whole process. The sacking of Gringotts.
The only remaining main players involved in the robbery were Noah, Bucky and Fox.
As for Snape, under Noah’s entrustment, when all the power of the Ministry of Magic was almost exhausted, he quietly used the underground tunnels extending in all directions to go to another place – the Department of
Mysteries in the deepest part of the Ministry of Magic headquarters.
The Time Chamber of the Department of Mysteries preserves one thing that Noah has been obsessed with getting since he discovered that he traveled to the wizarding world.
At the same time, it is also an ability that Kama Taj Supreme Mage must master, and that is time.
Time has always been a supreme rule in the universe, at least in Noah’s three-dimensional universe.
Even if it is Kama Taj’s Supreme Mage, this refers to the real Supreme Mage, such as the first-generation Supreme Mage Agamotto who created such an artifact as the Eye of Agamotto, not a parallel import like Noah.
But even if he is as strong as Agamotto, he can only use the time-related one among the six infinite stones to pry into the mystery of time, and use this to control time to a certain extent and gain insight into the mystery of the universe.
However, the wizards in this world are quite unnatural.
Without the Time Stone, and with such a backward magical civilization, they actually managed to glimpse some of the mysteries of time by relying on the idealism of magic?
Whether it is a magic that can reverse time and space, such as the Hour Reversal Curse, or a time converter created by introducing alchemy based on the Hour Reversal Curse.
Even if placed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe next door, this kind of magic and props involving time are a kind of existence that can be called heaven-defying.
Therefore, when Noah realized that he had traveled to the magical world written by Aunt Rowling, the time turner stored in the Ministry of Magic became one of his goals.
Obviously, Noah’s actions in Gringotts created a perfect opportunity for Snape to act.
If time were not limited and some large time turners were troublesome to transport, Snape would have to evacuate all the time turners stored in the entire Time Hall.
In just over a year of hanging out with Noah, Snape also learned what it means to be shameless.
He didn’t even let go of the semi-finished time converters placed in the Time Hall.
In the current Time Hall, except for some super large time turners, there are only a few ultra-small time turners that can only reverse two or three hours that were not packed away by Snape.
The reason why they can continue to stay in their original positions safely is because one day in the future, a top student from Hogwarts will need to use them.
The courses in Hogwarts are divided into compulsory and elective courses starting from the third grade. Students can freely choose from several elective courses provided by the school according to their future plans and interests.
At least two courses are required, but if you are interested in them all, you can enroll in all elective courses, even if some of the courses have time conflicts in scheduling.
After students who have enrolled in all courses have been evaluated and approved by professors, the school can apply to the Ministry of Magic for a time-turner.
This is the origin of the time turner used by Hermione when she was in third grade in the original time and space.
If it weren’t for this reason, Snape would have packed up all the time-turners he could take away from the Department of Mysteries.
Today’s Snape already has a bit of the shameless demeanor that Noah had in his previous life when he incarnated to stimulate the special forces on the battlefield, scraping the ground and not letting go of any bullets or supplies.
In the room that had been expanded by the Traceless Stretch Spell, Noah took out all the time turners that Snape had collected.
The entire room was immediately filled with clocks of various sizes and shapes.
There are huge floor-standing clocks, small travel clocks, wall-mounted clocks that hang on bookshelves or on the wall, and watches or pocket watches that can be carried around.
There are even many ancient hourglasses. These primitive timepieces were all placed by Noah on the bookshelf originally filled with magic books.
The sunlight outside the house shines into the room through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and falls on the glass dials of the clocks, reflecting the jumping light that sparkles like diamonds.
But the most eye-catching thing is the bell-shaped crystal glass dome standing tall in the middle of the house.
Noah raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect that Snape had even moved this thing out of the Time Hall. He was indeed a promising partner of Shaflin.
Just because of his shameless spirit, he is a rare talent at first glance.
The bell-shaped crystal glass dome was almost as tall as Noah and was filled with a swirling, sparkling air current.
A small bright object rolled in the airflow inside the glass cover. It looked like a small bird egg, but it was as shining and bright as a gem.
This tiny bird egg doesn’t always retain its egg shape.
It keeps making dizzying”8″-shaped movements in the airflow.
When at the bottom of the loop, it is in the shape of an egg.
But when it was blown upwards by the airflow in the glass cover, the bird’s egg cracked open at an extremely fast speed, and a hummingbird broke out of the eggshell and flew straight to the top of the glass cover.
In this process, this little hummingbird flies through its fledgling stage at a speed visible to the naked eye, grows gorgeous feathers and ages rapidly.
When it flew to the top, it looked very old and could no longer flap its wings.
But as it fell with the airflow, the feathers of this old hummingbird were soiled and wet again. Until halfway down, it still returned to the wet chick that had just hatched out of its shell.
And at the very bottom of the glass cover, it was shut into the egg again.
From birth to maturity, from maturity to aging, and from aging back to birth… this complete cycle is repeated endlessly in the glass cover.
In this glass dome, Noah clearly felt a somewhat familiar force. He could never mistake that familiar feeling— that is, infinite primitive power.
Although Noah only deserves the status of cannon fodder among Kama Taj, even if Ancient One and she ran away at the speed of light in a rather outrageous way of death, leaving a big mess to his junior brother Doctor Strange.
When Kama Taj was at its most turbulent and chaotic, Noah had no access to artifacts like the Eye of Agamotto.
But he had been exposed to it on the battlefield of the Endgame.
Not only did he pull out a space gem directly from Iron Man’s hand, he also slapped Tony Shit in front of everyone on the battlefield.
Although this slap was very satisfying, the price was that he would explode.
However, Noah was also able to have close contact with the Infinity Stones at that time.
Although the aura belonging to the Time Stone coming out of the glass cover appears to be very weak, the source does come from the Time Stone among the six Infinity Stones.
Noah firmly believed that his judgment would never be wrong.
He rubbed his chin with interest, where there was already a slight stubble,”Yinqustin.”
