Vol 2 Chapter 421: on the right path
Popular recommendation:
Voldemort's incompetent fury did not stir Sherlock's heart.
At this time, he was silently observing the state of Voldemort's possession on Harry, holding the crown in his hand, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
Under the tense gazes of Professor McGonagall Snape and Lily, Sherlock suddenly stretched out his finger and tapped at Voldemort's head, causing him to faint.
Sherlock stood up and looked at Snape and the others said solemnly.
"If it were under normal circumstances, I should have had nothing to do with Harry's current situation. The connection between him and Voldemort is very deep. Under the influence of the Horcrux's effectiveness, Harry's soul has already been with Voldemort. The remnants of his soul are entangled together, which is probably why he appeared on Harry after Voldemort was killed."
Snape and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Sherlock's words were not finished.
"But he took this golden tiara out of the Room of Requirement on his own accord, which is actually giving us a chance."
Sherlock raised the Ravenclaw golden crown in his hand.
"Voldemort's Horcrux can bring me a great improvement in a short period of time. With my current state and the improvement during this period, I should have the opportunity to control Voldemort's soul and remove him from Harry's body. separate from."
Snape's face didn't improve much, and he still asked with an ugly face.
"What do you mean by chance?"
"Literally, because I tried that yesterday afternoon, and it failed at that time, failing to separate Voldemort's soul from his body. Harry is in better condition now than that. It's not much better once, so I can only say try it, no guarantee of success."
"What if it doesn't work?"
Sherlock turned his gaze to Harry, who was lying on the ground.
"Harry's life is indeed tied to Voldemort, and killing Harry is killing him. But in the same way, if he dies in Harry's body, then Harry must have no chance of living. If If it doesn’t work out, I will give up trying temporarily, keep the situation stable first, and then think of other ways.”
At the end of his words, he did not look at Snape, but set his eyes on Lily, whose figure had become so illusory that it was like a bubble.
"Even if the problem on Harry's side is bad, we can still find a way to solve it later, but you don't have much time."
Sherlock's words made Snape, who had been suspicious of Lily's changes, suddenly become alert.
"Lily is she like this?"
Sherlock's voice was calm with some emotion.
"She's not Lily's real soul. I told you before that the spell I asked you to send her was just an attempt. Even if this attempt is successful, it will only retain a part of Lily's soul. You can Think of this as a variant of Horcrux."
"And Harry is the soil in which she lives, but if the broken soul is likened to a flower that is about to wither, then Harry's flower pot is also limited. Now that Voldemort's remnant soul is squeezed into it, it is equivalent to putting her The remnant soul was uprooted. As you can see, without the soil, she has no way to exist in this world for long."
Snape turned his head in disbelief to look at Lily, who had been extremely illusory, and then stared at Sherlock with bloodshot eyes, his voice became hoarse and excited.
"Can't I do this soil? Sherlock...you can do it, right? Let Lily survive on my body..."
Sherlock shook his head silently under Snape's desperate eyes.
"Let's not say that you don't have the connection between defensive magic and Lily at all, it's like empty soil but only dry soil. Even in terms of close relatives, you don't meet the requirements. So, I'm sorry, Severer Well, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you'd better cherish the time now. I'm getting ready for Harry."
Compared to Snape's despair, Sherlock and the others were silent, but Lily, who was the client, was very calm.
With a gentle smile on her face, she looked at Harry lying on the ground, and then moved her gaze to Sherlock.
"Thank you very much, Professor Forrest, for the opportunity to be a part of Harry's nearly two years of growth. Thank you for teaching and caring for Harry while I was away, and for allowing us both mother and son. There is still a chance to meet again after so many years, you have done enough for us, and Harry will ask you to help take care of him in the future."
Sherlock waved his hand and didn't say anything, but clenched the crown in his hand and squatted in front of Harry again.
Lily also expressed her gratitude to Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, and at last she turned her gaze to Snape, who had his head bowed and his body trembling slightly.
"Sorry......"
Snape's voice was shaking too, as if he was in a cold cellar, not feeling the slightest warmth.
"Apologizing, you said it to me many, many times twenty years ago, Severus."
Lily looked at her with no complaints or disgust on her face, just a smile like the warm afternoon sun~www.NovelMTL.com~ You apologized to me when you were in school, but I never said any forgiveness to you at that time because I don't think you've changed at all. But...people always change, don't they? "
Snape didn't speak, or rather, his mental state made him have no idea what kind of syllables were supposed to happen when his mouth was opened.
"So you must remember the promise I made to 'Professor Slughorn' at the professor that night, right?"
I don't know where Lily's words started, and Snape felt that his cheeks were a little itchy, and the liquid that slipped from the corners of his eyes had washed his face.
Lily's question made him cry, and he could only say it like a lake.
"I...I remember..."
"If one day, he really reforms himself, no longer entangles with those people, no longer studies those messy magic, and honestly studies the potion he is most interested in, it is best to come to Hogwarts When Tsz became a professor, it means he has really changed for the better. At that time, I will look at him with admiration, and maybe we can be friends again.”
In the identity of Lily twenty years later, she and Snape, who was now showing her true colors, reiterated her promise that day with a smile.
Lily Invance tilted her head, with a smile as bright as sunshine on her face, just like the summer vacation before she received the Hogwarts admission letter, the boy and girl were in the gray spider's end alley, Talking about magic, looking to the future happily.
"Severus, as my best friend in life and after death, you must stick to the right path in the future."
