Chapter 237 Snape and Lily

Snape's psychology is very complex.

This man hated Harry's father, James Potter, and Harry's mother, Lily, and was often a little soft-hearted towards Harry.

Now that Lily's ghost has arrived at Hogwarts, Snape is also thinking about whether he should treat Harry more gently, only to see Harry Potter's face is the same as that of his old enemy James Potter. , which made Snape feel that his blood pressure was rising...

never mind.

Harry was an accident.

And it’s just a kid.

A child who will most likely be sacrificed in the future.

Now Snape is more concerned about how he and Dumbledore should explain to Lily that her son Harry is one of Voldemort's Horcruxes...

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 triggered by your blood killed him, his A piece of soul attached itself to the nearest living thing, which was little Harry's body..."

"At that time, Harry became Tom's Horcrux by accident... If we want to completely kill Tom, we must clean up all his Horcruxes..."

"…What?"

Lily looked at the old man anxiously. .

This great mother was a little surprised to find that she thought she saved her son, but she didn't expect to put her son into even greater trouble!

"do not be afraid…"

Dumbledore softly comforted her, hoping she could stay calm, and continued softly: "Lily, the most important thing for us now is to protect Harry first. Tom's enemies have been staring at him and want to kill him, and Peter Pettigrew has been Watching Harry..."

"Peter?"

Lily glanced at Dumbledore uneasily, recalling the time when she came into contact with Peter Pettigrew, and said softly: "He is a good friend of us... But I came into contact with him once after I woke up, and Peter felt very strange to me... "

"Because he is no longer the timid student."

Dumbledore shook his head and explained: "Now he is the real Dark Lord, a more dangerous Dark Wizard than Tom... The tragedy that happened to your family was caused by Peter seducing Tom... He is the real Dark Lord... perhaps…"

"Peter...how did it become like this?"

Lily looked at Dumbledore in disbelief.

Who could believe that a friend who had always been so timid turned around and became the Dark Lord that even Dumbledore found troublesome?

"He's just good at pretending."

Dumbledore frowned, remembering what Snape told him about the secret of the master behind Peter, and nodded to himself: "Perhaps it was also the guidance of others... In any case, Peter is now very Danger!"

"Peter is searching for the Horcrux that destroyed Tom..."

"It's impossible for Peter to let Harry go, it's impossible for him to let Tom go..."

"Now we must protect this child before Peter wants to kill Harry, and get rid of Tom's Horcrux, and get rid of the soul fragments that Tom left in him..."

Now is the most troublesome time...

Although Peter Pettigrew has never hurt Harry, no one can tell whether Peter Pettigrew will do something to Harry next time...

In short, he destroyed Voldemort's other Horcruxes and would definitely take action on Harry. This was Dumbledore's judgment.

so…

If you want Harry to ensure his survival...

The boy must be protected before Peter Pettigrew attacks Harry, but Peter Pettigrew ignores Hogwarts' defense...

Therefore, the best way is to clean up Voldemort's other Horcruxes before Peter Pettigrew. Dumbledore believes that he should also clean up Harry's soul fragments, so that this little guy is not worthy of being killed by Peter Pettigrew...

Dumbledore asked a key question: "Lily, can you tell me more about the protective blood spell you cast on Harry before your death?"

Dumbledore continued: "If your magic can protect Harry from death, maybe we can kill the soul fragment in Harry by attacking him..."

"It can only take effect on one person..."

Lily shook her head, with a worried look on her face: "That's an ancient magic. It can only be effective on specific enemies...it can only help Harry fight against Voldemort."

"..."

Dumbledore fell silent.

The old man took a deep breath and suddenly said: "If Tom kills Harry with magic...can that spell ensure that Harry survives?"

This was Dumbledore's last resort.

If you really can't find a suitable way, this method is the most dangerous bet that can keep Harry alive. Whoever lives or dies may die!

"..."

Lily immediately fell silent.

After thinking for a few seconds, the mother nodded and shook her head and said: "Maybe, maybe not, because that magic will continue to weaken as Harry gets older, and it may not be able to resist Voldemort forever. It’s too risky…”

"So we need to take advantage of that magic while it still has power..."

Dumbledore remembered the prophecies made by Trelawney, the divination teacher at Hogwarts, and he spoke of these things softly: "Professor Trelawney once made a prophecy for Harry and Tom..."

Dumbledore slowly looked at the bookshelf next to him, reached out and picked up a book that fell on the ground, patted the dust on the book, and slowly placed it on the bookshelf: "...One person must die before another In human hands, two people cannot survive, only one 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 still have time to slowly find other ways... Harry is not the only child in the school who was made into a Horcrux by the Dark Lord... "

Although Harry is Voldemort's Horcrux, he is protected by the blood curse left by his mother, and he may survive by fighting Voldemort this way...

but…

What about Wesen, who was made into a Horcrux by Peter Pettigrew?

How was that child supposed to survive?

"I will write to Grindelwald tomorrow."

Dumbledore slowly tidied up the scattered bookshelf area and said softly: "Let Grindelwald personally see the situation of Harry and Wesson. I hope we can find other ways to keep the children alive..."

"Grindelwald?"

Lily looked at Dumbledore with some confusion.

Why does the name Grindelwald sound a bit old...

"Peter freed Grindelwald..."

Dumbledore turned around and explained softly: "But now I have reached an agreement with Grindelwald, and he is barely our friend. His black magic skills are much higher than mine. Maybe there is a way to solve the problems in the two children." trouble…"

Take advantage of this opportunity.

Dumbledore also wanted to warn some Grindelwald, lest his old friend start a wizarding war after aggressively recruiting the Ministry of Magic in Europe.

Other than that.

Dumbledore also wanted to ask Grindelwald to see if he had any other involvement with the master behind Peter Pettigrew, and if he knew anything about it...

"…Thanks."

Lily looked at Dumbledore gratefully and nodded.

"It just so happens that I also have other things to ask him..."

Dumbledore shook his head, turned to look at Snape who walked into the library, and greeted Snape loudly: "Severus, help Lily find a place to stay..."

"…yes."

Snape hesitated for a second.

The man slowly stopped in place. He looked at the ghost floating in the air and asked as if he didn't care: "Where do you want to live? The potion laboratory?"

"It will be all right…"

Lily's mind was still on Harry. She seemed to have thought of something, and asked casually: "Is the small cabinet above the Potions Laboratory still there? It's the place we often went to when we were in first grade. …”

"…certainly."

Snape nodded calmly and slowly.
