Chapter 237 Snape and Lily
Snape's psychology is very complicated.
This man hated Harry's father, James Potter, and was also often a little soft-hearted about Harry because of Harry's mother Lily.
Now that Lily's ghost has arrived at Hogwarts, Snape is also thinking about whether he has a gentler attitude towards Harry. Just seeing Harry Potter's face like his old rival James Potter makes Snape feel that his blood pressure is raised...
never mind.
Harry was an accident.
And it's just a child.
A child who is likely to sacrifice in the future.
What Snape is more concerned about now is how he and Dumbledore should explain to Lily that her son Harry is one of Voldemort's Horcrux...
Hogwarts Library.
"Harry's body is Tom's Horcrux..."
Dumbledore understood Snape's thoughts. Before Snape returned to the library, he explained Harry's situation to Lily: "When the blood curse caused by your blood killed him, his soul was attached to the nearest living creature, that was little Harry's body..."
"At that time, Harry became Tom's Horcrux by chance... If we want to kill Tom completely, we must clean up all his Horcruxes..."
"…What?"
Lily looked at the old man in a hurry...
The great mother was a little surprised to find that she thought she had saved her son, but she didn't expect that she would get her son into greater trouble!
"do not be afraid…"
Dumbledore softly soothes her emotions, hoping that she can remain calm, and continued softly: "Lily, now the most important thing for us is to protect Harry first. Tom's enemy has been staring at him and trying to kill him. Peter the little dwarf has been watching Harry..."
"Peter?"
Lily looked at Dumbledore with some anxiety, recalling the contact between herself and Petite Peter, and whispered: "He is a good friend to us... But I have contacted him once after I woke up, and Peter made me feel very strange..."
"Because he is not that timid student anymore."
Dumbledore shook his head and explained, "Now he is the real Dark Lord, a dark wizard who is more dangerous than Tom... The tragedy of your family was created by Peter seducing Tom... He is the real Dark Lord... Maybe..."
"How did Peter...because he became like this?"
Lily looked at Dumbledore in disbelief.
Who can believe that a friend who has always been so timid turned around and turned into a dark devil who made Dumbledore find it difficult?
"He's just good at disguising."
Dumbledore frowned, remembered the secret that Snape told him about the owner behind Peter, and nodded on his own: "Maybe it was the guidance of others... No matter what, Peter is very dangerous now!"
"Peter is searching for Tom's Horcrux..."
"Peter could not let Harry go, he could not let Tom go..."
"Now we must protect this child before Peter wants to kill Harry, and solve the soul fragments left by Tom on him..."
Now is the most troublesome time...
Although Petdwarf Peter has never hurt Harry, no one can tell whether Petdwarf Peter will attack Harry next time...
In short, if he destroyed Voldemort's other Horcruxes, he would definitely attack Harry. This is Dumbledore's judgment.
so…
If you want Harry to make sure he survives...
It is necessary to protect the boy before Petr attacks Harry, but Petr disregards Hogwarts' defenses...
Therefore, the best way is to clean up the other Horcruxes of Voldemort before Pete cleared out Voldemort's Horcruxes, Dumbledore thought he also cleaned up the soul fragments on Harry, so that this little guy would not be worthy of being killed by Pete Peter...
Dumbledore asked a key question: "Lily, the blood protecting curse you cast on Harry before your death... Can you introduce it to me in detail?"
Dumbledore continued: "If your magic can protect Harry from death, maybe we can kill the soul fragment on him by attacking Harry..."
“It can only work for one person…”
Lily shook her head, her expression couldn't help but feel a little worried: "That's an ancient magic, it can only work on specific enemies...it can only help Harry against Voldemort."
“…”
Dumbledore fell silent.
The old man took a deep breath and suddenly spoke, "If Tom used magic to kill Harry... can that spell ensure that Harry survive?"
This is Dumbledore's last resort.
If you really can't find a suitable solution, this method is the most dangerous gambling that can make Harry survive, and anyone who lives or dies is likely to die!
“…”
Lily fell into silence immediately.
After thinking for a few seconds, the mother nodded and shook her head, "Maybe, maybe not, because that magic will continue to weaken with Harry's age, and it may not be able to resist Voldemort forever. This is too risky..."
"So we need to take advantage of that magic still has power..."
Dumbledore recalled the prophecy made by Trelawney, a teacher at Hogwarts, and he whispered these things: "Professor Trelawney once made a prophecy for Harry and Tom..."
Dumbledore slowly looked at the bookshelf next to him, reached out to pick up a book that fell to the ground, patted the dust on the book, and slowly placed it on the bookshelf: "...one person must die in the hands of another person, neither person can live, only one person can survive... I think Harry is the hero who can kill Tom."
After saying this, Dumbledore shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, we should have time to slowly find other solutions... The one who was made into a Horcrux by the Dark King in school... is not just Harry..."
Although Harry is Voldemort's Horcrux, he has the blood curse left by his mother, and he may survive this way of fighting against Voldemort...
but…
What about Weisen, who was made into a Horcrux by Petr?
How should that child survive?
"I will write to Grindelwald tomorrow."
Dumbledore slowly packed up the scattered bookshelf area and whispered: "Let Grindelwald see what Harry and Weisen are doing in person, and hope we can find other ways to keep the children alive..."
"Grindelwald?"
Lily looked at Dumbledore with some confusion.
How come the name Grindelwald sounds a bit old...
"Peter lets Grindelwald out..."
Dumbledore turned around and explained softly: "But now I have reached an agreement with Grindelwald, barely considered our friend. His dark magic skills are much higher than mine. Maybe there is a way to solve the troubles of the two children..."
Take advantage of this opportunity.
Dumbledore also wanted to warn Grindelwald some, so that his old friends would not have snatched up the Ministry of Magic in Europe and then started another wizard war.
In addition.
Dumbledore also wanted to ask Grindelwald to see if he had any other connections with the master behind Petdwarf Peter, and if he knew any news...
"…Thanks."
Lily looked at Dumbledore gratefully and nodded.
"I just happened to have something else to ask him..."
Dumbledore shook his head, turned to look at Snape who had walked into the library, and greeted Snape loudly: "Severus, please help Lily find a place to settle..."
"…yes."
Snape hesitated for a second.
The man slowly stopped in place. He looked at the ghost floating in the air and asked indifferently: "Where do you want to live? Potion Laboratory?"
"It will be all right…"
Lily was still focused on Harry. She asked casually as if she had thought of something: "Is the small pavilion above the Potion Laboratory still there? It's the place we often went to in the first grade..."
"…certainly."
Snape nodded calmly and slowly.
