94 Diagon Alley

Being a typical Gryffindor, this must be bad for you. "

Snape wanted to praise Lily for her unusual insight, but he just moved his lips, and the only politeness left him swallowing his words.

"Is there anything you want to say to me? Severus." Lily turned to look at those dark eyes.

Snape also lowered his head, meeting his familiar green eyes. After a long time, he looked away.

"I...sorry, Lily."

The little red-haired girl didn't seem to expect this sentence, and was stunned for a while.

"I'm sorry," Snape continued, "I broke your heart. I killed you, and it was all my fault."

"You did make me cry for several days." The girl's face showed the sentimentality of the girl, "I hated you so much."

"I...the rest of my life in repentance, I want to make amends, but it's too late...there's no use in doing anything..."

"You've done enough, Severus." Lily got up from the swing and walked across from her old friend. "Look, I know you've been protecting Harry."

Snape didn't answer.

"I forgive you, Severus," Lily said. "Is that the answer you want to hear?"

He looked up at the girl's glowing holy face.

"I want you to know that I forgive you." Lily was a little awkward, "Actually, I forgave you a long time ago. But we've gone down different paths then...you become Now..." She sighed, not wanting to say these things. "I'm sorry too, Severus."

"No, you've never done a bad thing." Snape immediately retorted, waving his hand, trying to drive away Lily's excessive politeness.

"I do feel sorry," the red-haired girl insisted. "If only I could talk to you...I'm too idealistic sometimes..."

"That has nothing to do with you." Snape was a little irritable, "It's all my fault, I made the wrong choice."

"You have to say you forgive me." Lily pouted, "That's what I want to hear too. I don't need you to explain my guilt, Severus. I want to I'm the same as you, I just know you don't hate me, we're still best friends as before."

Snape opened his mouth, and his stubborn temper came up again. No matter how he thought about it, he didn't understand why Lily wanted to apologize.

The girl's beautiful green eyes widened, like an angry little lion.

"I...I forgive you, Lily."

She laughed immediately, like a lily blooming, dispelling all the haze.

"That's enough, that's enough. But I have to complain about your hair, your clothes, and your ghastly look - look, Severus It's really not going well."

He doesn't care, Snape thought. He's dead anyway.

"I miss you so much." He must be crazy, Snape cursed in his heart, he actually said such a bold thing.

"I've been gone for a long time, Severus, long enough to be forgotten." Lily said maturely, walking around behind him.

"But I always... miss you." Without her face, Snape could express himself more easily.

"Do you want to go on a swing?" Lily said suddenly witty, "I know you've always been envious - Penny used to play with us, and you were always embarrassed to sit on the swing. "

"That's what girls do..." Snape tried to explain, and wondered if he should tell Lily about her sister's abuse of Potter.

"Stop quibbling, Severus. I'll push you." She pushed her hands to Snape's back, and actually made the swing swing with ease. "Let's hurry, you have a place to go. As for me, Harry needs me and James later."

Snape felt that he was really dead, otherwise he would be sitting on the small swing in the children's playground and being pushed by a child half his height.

"You gotta know, Severus. I'm glad to see you," Lily whispered as the swing dropped.

The swing flew up.

"But this is not the time for us to meet again."

The swing is flying higher.

"Promise me, and live your own life from now on, Severus," she said, before pushing the swing all the way to the top.

Snape had an ominous foreboding, he wanted to look back, but the rope of the swing suddenly disappeared. Little Lily waved goodbye to him on the ground.

He was falling, but his flying magic didn't work. The sense of weightlessness reminded Snape of countless horrific memories, violence, humiliation, and the **** mouth of a snake.

Then he woke up.

In the dark he saw one of his students - Ollivander, who was not talented. She stared at herself with a smile, and there were several unsightly crystal bottles beside her.

"I'm so sorry, Professor," she said, "I had to save you with a badly boiled white essence and blood tonic."

"But you have to admit, my potions skills are yours too—you were scary at school," Gwen muttered, watching Snape's neck from time to time. two snake teeth prints.

A elf appeared in the screaming shack after the blast, holding a red bird in its arms.

"Dobby is here, Gwen Ollivander. Dobby is here with Dumbledore's pet." Fox struggled in his arms.

"God, what's wrong with your eyes." Gwen took Fox, shaking his hands from the flames on his feathers.

Dobby had one eye open, and the other was swollen and bruised, with only a small slit showing. "Dobby to save Luna Lovegood from the werewolf Fenrir."

"Thanks Merlin, you must not have any trouble." Gwen whispered, then let go of Fox.

The magnificent, bright red bird, dragging a long gleaming tail around the Shrieking Shack, landed on Snape's neck. The golden claws dig into his flesh, causing him to ache.

Large, pearly teardrops rolled down its lustrous feathers.

The pain also gradually subsided, and Snape's vision became clear.

"Phoenix tears..." Gwen muttered to himself, staring at the faded black wound, "It's healing, so now we don't have to worry about snake venom. You see, Professor, Dumbledore Professor Lido hopes to help you."

Snape also raised his hand and touched his throat.

"Why do you look desperate? Isn't it a good thing to escape?" Gwen was a little strange, "It seems that he is not ready, Dobby, can you please put Sri Professor Nep to St. Mungo's? Apparate, I have to get back to the castle quickly."

A hand grabbed her wrist.

Snape looked at Dobby, gritted his teeth, and said, "Take me back to Hogwarts Castle."

Kings Cross

"Professor—" Cedric ended the fight at Ravenclaw Tower and hurried to the Astronomy Tower. "Gwen and Dobby came back and they took Snape. Harry was seen entering the headmaster's office."

"Thank you for the news, Cedric." Dumbledore turned and smiled. "Now, I want you to go to the Great Hall to help look after the wounded wizards."

The young Order of the Phoenix nodded and ran down the battered stairs in three steps.

A figure emerges from behind the wall on the other side.

"You look like you're going to die in the next second," he said sullenly.

"Not sure." Dumbledore's face was white, his lips lost color, and he leaned against the wall.

"To protect the wizards who fought?" The old man grinned, as if telling a joke, "Do those people know what they're dying for?"

"Trust me, Gellert." Dumbledore had to take a breath before continuing. "They know exactly what they're fighting for."

"Huh, so I can call you Albus now?" he said irritably, "I don't see a difference, whether it's Riddle, or what you call justice. It's still the magic world, where most people are flies and dogs..." He interrupted Dumbledore's long lecture.

"Don't speak to me—tell you, I saved the boy." Grindelwald lifted his chin, "as a gift in return for the 'kind' reminder you arranged for me."

"Then I should say thank you." Dumbledore nodded, and Phoenix Fox flew back to his shoulder.

"Aren't you going to meet the boy? Before he loses his life?" Grindelwald's gaze rested on his old foe's new wand.

"No," Dumbledore shook his head, looking sad, "he had to die voluntarily—I'm not entirely sure if my presence would give him a futile hope..."

"Think you can defeat Voldemort?" Grindelwald sneered mercilessly, "However, you are already a dying old man, your limited life has been greatly shortened by the curse, and now it is still for you The - let me quote you - 'comrades and students' using that ancient magic? Albus, with all due respect, that Riddle could easily kill you."

"The most important thing is that I'm not a man of stone-" Dumbledore said, looking at the dilapidated Hogwarts campus.

"Humph." Grindelwald sneered. "I was amused."

"I can't tell Harry with my own mouth that we will trade his young life for peace." Dumbledore said calmly, "Although I know this is the only way to success, this It was cruel and unfair to him."

"Stupid prophecy." Grindelwald muttered. "Let's see if this saviour is fooled with him
