Chapter 193 Lily's Forgiveness
"You are actually a very capable wizard."
Bella's voice echoed in the hall, and she was not stingy with her praise for Sherlock, and even tried to throw an olive branch to him.
"If you are willing to take the initiative to plead guilty to the Dark Lord and become his most loyal subordinate, then maybe the master will no longer pursue the things you have done."
Sherlock sat on the ground, took out a golden locket with rust on the surface from his pocket, and nodded.
"This may indeed be a good choice. Join the Death Eaters and keep yourself alive. As long as you offer your loyalty to the Dark Lord. And I am not an Auror, and I don't recognize the Ministry of Magic. Even if I rebel, I have no psychological pressure at all."
His words were very sincere, making Bella really think that he was moved, but Sherlock suddenly changed his tone.
"But I killed three of you, one of whom is your husband's brother. If I join the Dark Lord, you two won't kill me in secret, right?"
Everyone focused on the conversation between Sherlock and Bella, and almost no one noticed that the black slate that was pointed at by countless wands and was next to Sherlock was getting closer and closer to him.
"With the Dark Lord's order, who dares to touch you!"
Bella said as she waved to the Death Eaters behind her, slowly approaching Sherlock and putting pressure on him.
The black slate was now in Sherlock's hands.
He held the slate in one hand and the locket in the other, and the smile on his face became brighter.
"But what you said now is just your one-sided statement. The Dark Lord is not here, how do I know I can survive? Unless you let the Dark Lord come here in person."
Bella had a gloomy face.
"Master, what is his identity! How could he come here in person for such a thing!"
The smile on Sherlock's face gradually became playful, and he stared at Bella's left arm.
"Is that really the case? Then why did you summon him in the first place? And now basically all the main forces of the Death Eaters are here, right? With such a large formation, why hasn't he come yet when you summon him so anxiously?"
Bella's gloomy eyes met Sherlock's eyes. Sherlock did not avoid it at all, holding a slate and a locket in each hand, and said with a smile.
"Could it be that he had an accident tonight? Even if you summoned him so eagerly, he couldn't come, right?"
"Shut up!" Bella screamed sharply.
And at this moment, a chilly and ominous black fog suddenly penetrated around this bright hall!
The black fog seemed endless, constantly gathering from all directions!
When Bella and the Death Eaters saw this black fog for the first time, they all showed surprise on their faces.
"Master!"
Sherlock noticed something was wrong when the black mist appeared.
He had gone too far. At this time, Voldemort in his prime had really come!
He didn't hesitate any longer and directly put the locket that brought him and Snape to this time together with the black slate!
A burst of golden light instantly enveloped the two objects together!
As the golden light shone, the black mist gathered around Bella and solidified into a handsome wizard in a black robe with a cold temperament.
The moment the wizard appeared, all the Death Eaters behind him, including Bella, knelt on one knee together.
"Master!"
Tom Riddle, who had not yet become noseless and whose appearance was still online, and whose IQ had declined but not yet reached the lowest point, did not even look at the men behind him.
From the time he appeared until now, he had been staring coldly at Sherlock, who had been wrapped in a burst of golden light, and then stretched out his pale and slender right hand.
Black smoke spread in the hall, surrounding the golden light, as if trying to interfere with the changes.
However, when it was about one meter away from Sherlock, all the black fog could not move forward any further!
The sound of the hands on the clock suddenly sounded.
There was no source and no sign, from weak to strong, the "da da da" sound became louder and louder and more rapid!
It was like the last cry of a person being hunted.
Then, with a sound like something breaking, all the sounds stopped instantly!
The golden light suddenly shrank, and the place where Sherlock was originally standing was empty except for a black slab suspended in the air.
The hall fell into silence, but this silence lasted less than a second.
The slab broke into countless pieces in front of everyone!
The Death Eaters kneeling on the ground, after hearing the sound of the slab breaking, everyone trembled involuntarily.
Riddle's face was very pale, it was an abnormal paleness, he seemed to have just experienced a very intense consumption, which made him in a very bad state.
Seeing the scattered stone slabs on the ground, he clenched his fists tightly. The pendant with the venomous snake inlaid on his chest swayed violently with the violent ups and downs of his chest, and the angry roar echoed in the hall.
"Waste! You bunch of waste!"
......
"How...how have you been at school lately?"
Snape, who turned into Slughorn, suppressed the trembling in his voice and tried his best to ask calmly.
Lily relaxed and leaned back on the chair, crossed her fingers, straightened her arms, and tilted her head as if thinking about how to answer Snape's question.
"Actually, it's not bad. Although I don't really have anyone to talk to, I have a good relationship with everyone."
"A close friend?" Snape asked casually, "Don't you have the best relationship with Severus? Doesn't he count?"
Hearing "Slughorn" mention Snape's name, Lily's face looked a little gloomy.
"Don't mention him again, Professor. He and I have completely broken off. We are no longer friends, and we will never have any relationship in the future."
Hearing such words, the corners of Snape's mouth couldn't stop twitching. He seemed to want to smile, but his body couldn't control it. No matter how hard he tried, his face was still full of sadness.
"Why? Is it because he scolded you? I heard that he already knew that he was wrong and kept apologizing to you."
Lily's attention was not on Snape's face, so she didn't see "Slughorn" show such a strange expression, she pouted and muttered.
"I know he didn't mean it at the time. What Potter and those people did really went too far and provoked him, so he said that."
"What he really has a problem with is hanging out with guys like Russell and Wilkes all day long, and you know what kind of people they are. Those people's life-long goal is to follow that person. He was chatting with me before. I never hide my admiration for that person.”
"He also invented the dark spells that are popular in the castle, such as the hanging of the golden bell, earplugs, and tongue and throat locks."
"He is becoming more and more different from before. I am very scared. I am very afraid that he will become that person's servant and a thug who burns, kills, loots, and commits all kinds of evil."
"I tried to persuade him and stop him, but he never really gave up. He seemed to be born for those dark things. He could chat with those people so well, and his mastery of black magic was so good. skilled."
"It wasn't until the moment he cursed me that word that I really made up my mind. He and I were never on the same path. He tried to pull me to his side, and I tried to pull him to mine. But none of us succeeded."
"Instead of doing this, it is better to cut it off completely. Even if we become enemies in the future, we will not let ourselves feel embarrassed for the other party."
Lily was like a young girl who had found someone to confide in, and she spoke out all her innermost thoughts.
But she didn't notice that the expression on Professor "Slughorn"'s face became increasingly painful.
"Then...will you forgive him?"
"Hmm~"
Lily raised her head, as if she thought of something wonderful, and said with a smile.
"If one day, he really changes his ways, stops entangled with those people, stops studying those messy magics, and honestly studies the potions he is most interested in, well, it would be best to come to Huo Gwartz becomes a professor! The professors in the castle are all good people. If he can become a professor, it means that he has really changed for the better. Then I will be impressed by him, and maybe we can be friends again. ”
Her words struck Snape's heart like a sledgehammer.
He stared blankly at the smiling girl who seemed to have thought of a beautiful scene, and the complex emotions in his heart burst out together in the skull cavity!
Snape didn't know whether he should cry or laugh now.
In the end, he had fulfilled all Lily's expectations for him. He had met her standards for being able to forgive him. He had fulfilled all her requirements!
But the person who was hoping for forgiveness is gone...
Lily's death made him wake up, but after he woke up, whose forgiveness was he trying to win?
Tears streaked down Snape's face silently. He opened his mouth and wanted to cry out, but no sound came out of his throat.
He looked at the girl sitting next to him alive in front of him, and an extremely crazy idea suddenly came to his mind.
He wanted to tell everything, and he wanted to tell her that he really got better as she expected!
If she didn't believe it, he would pull out his memory and let her see it with her own eyes!
No longer care about the agreement with Sherlock, and no longer care about the history!
Tell her everything! Let her know everything that happens next!
Just when Snape had planned to do it regardless and was about to speak, he suddenly disappeared into this classroom!
It took Lily five seconds to realize that she was the only one left here. She looked around with a blank expression and shouted in confusion.
"Professor Slughorn?"
However, there was no response in the empty classroom. Only the magic notebook in her pocket could prove that someone really had a conversation with her just now.
