Ashes of Hogwarts

Charon, the ferryman in the River Styx, is responsible for ferrying the souls of the dead to the other side of the River Styx.

Legend has it that as long as the living paid Charon, the god of crossing the Styx, he would ferry them across the river, but his boat would become extremely unsafe due to the weight of the living.

"So, doesn't it look like that?"

Looking at Snape who looked shocked, Charon raised his eyebrows.

It can't be said that it's not similar, at least it has nothing to do with it.

Virgil once described the image of Charon in "The Aeneid", a dirty old man holding a long pole and breathing fire from his eyes.

As for the man in front of him, Snape had no doubt that he could kill Hagrid with one punch.

"It's not like that."

Charon rowed the boat quickly, and Snape felt that he could already see the banks of the River Styx covered with bright red flowers.

"I was once a glorious Spartan warrior, but because of an irreparable mistake, I lost the love of my life."

Seeing that Snape didn't respond, Charon started talking to himself.

"So I went to the underworld, hoping to bring back the soul of my beloved. Unfortunately, everything in this world comes with a price."

Charon quietly told his story.

Snape suddenly felt that he was very similar to Charon. He was also a living person, and he also wanted to bring back his beloved soul.

So, will I have to pay the price then?

"So, Mr. Charon, what's the price?"

He asked Charon his question.

"Everything in the world is a drink and a peck. If you want to take away a soul from the underworld, you must naturally send a soul, and it needs to be the soul of a living person."

Having said this, Charon took a deep look at Snape.

Snape then noticed that when this gentleman looked at him, he looked like a similar person.

It’s clearly the way he looks at the goods.

Cold sweat instantly wet his back.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you now. Although Pluto has asked me, my ultimate goal is to wait for a suitable product like you. As long as I sacrifice you to the Wall of Sighs, I can Brought my dear Lysandra back to the world. So, obey!"

Snape began to regret why he asked for this person's name.

That way, at least everyone will be safe until they reach the other side.

He began to secretly deploy his magic power, but just as Ash guessed, he could hardly cast any magic.

"Stop struggling, wizard. At least on the Styx, you can't use any power. If you want to attack me, you must at least be the owner of that soul anchor."

"You mean, if he shows up, he can stop you?" Snape thought for a while, wondering whether he should just call Ash out here.

"I advise you not to. There will be no good end for a living person falling into the River Styx. And how can you find the underworld so easily? This is just his magical weapon and not himself." Charon said in a calm voice: "You can also put the soul anchor In exchange, at least it can be regarded as a living soul. In this case, you can stay in the underworld like me, and maybe you can stay with your lover."

Snape was moved by these words.

So what if I could be with Lily, even in hell.

"No matter what, can you take me to see her first, so that I won't have any regrets." Snape hesitated for a while and then said.

It seems that many battles between heaven and man have gone through in my heart.

"Ha, I appreciate such an affectionate person like you, so this matter is all on me." Charon glanced at Snape with a slightly teasing look: "But we have to look for it carefully when the time comes. When can we meet? When it comes to her, it depends on how much you miss her."

The boat finally reached the other shore.

The light groups in the cabin floated forward one after another, and gradually disappeared behind a small canyon.

"Let's go. I hope you have a way to block your perception, so that I don't need to rush around to clean up those miscellaneous fish."

Snape saw Charon take out a piece of clothing embroidered with gold patterns from the cabin. After putting it on, his whole aura became ethereal.

Just like those ghosts.

Snape then remembered that he had brought Harry's invisibility cloak with him, and he immediately put it on himself.

"It's of good quality. At least it's a cloak that can only be obtained by high-ranking nobles."

Charon praised, and then led Snape forward.

"Originally, the river bank of the underworld was provided to the dead with strong obsessions to make their last wishes here, so that the souls without obsessions could completely reincarnate themselves. Unfortunately, since the guy who grabbed the business woke up, Hades had to cancel With this business, the task of population management in hell has become increasingly arduous.”

Charon took Snape through the endless sea of ​​flowers.

Flowers of the other side are blooming everywhere here, and from time to time there will be gray light groups floating by and disappearing into the sky.

"Mr. Charon, where should we go next?"

In Snape's field of vision, there was only an endless plain, which was in great contrast with the towering mountain walls behind him.

"It's easy, just close your eyes and move forward."

Snape had never experienced anything like this before. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

There was no need for Charon to lie to himself. Anyway, he had already taken action just as he was about to take action.

Snape stepped forward slowly.

In his mind, the scene of being with Lily when he was a child kept replaying.

That amusement park, that grove, that Hogwarts Express carriage that's brighter than the sun.

He stretched out his hand gently and seemed to touch a cold face.

"Sev, is it you? How is that possible!"

An incredible voice sounded.

Snape opened his eyes and saw a woman looking at him with disbelief.

It's Lily.

Although she looked exactly like the Lily in his dream, Snape could clearly feel that she was the real Lily.

"What's going on, Sev, were you killed by Voldemort too? I've told you before that you shouldn't follow him."

Lily slept for a long time, unable to feel the passage of time.

From Snape's young face, she thought he died at about the same time as her.

"No, Lily, I...I just dressed up a little. In fact, it has been 12 years and your child Harry has grown up."

Snape swallowed, but he didn't know what to say.

"Wizard, cherish your last chance to communicate with her. Maybe you can give up and return to the human world and stay here with her."

Charon's voice came from the fog, and then drifted farther and farther away.

"What have you done, Sifu? Why are you here? Oh my God, you are still alive. Leave now..."

Lily started to ramble.

But Snape enjoyed the moment.

Not to mention anything else, he has started to practice Ash through the soul anchor.

What a joke, I came here to resurrect my lover, how could I get myself into it again?

Inside the Dragon Academy's flying dragon stone sculpture, Ash suddenly closed his eyes.

"found it."

He said.
