Hogwarts pet owl

"How did you bring Aunt Ariana back?"

Errol looked at Snape.

Of course she knew what Snape was thinking.

"Combining Aunt Ariana's soul mark with the memory of Aunt Ariana in my Grandpa Aberforth's mind, and using Grandpa Aberforth's own body as the source of magic power, the ghost of Aunt Ariana was formed."

Errol concealed the most important thing at her fingertips.

But what she said is not wrong. In fact, it is such a process.

"That means you can 'create' the ghost of a specific person?"

"That's right."

"Help me, Errol Weasley!"

The expression on Snape's face was no longer that of eternal frost. At this moment, all the hot emotions in his heart were expressed on his face.

He was very excited. The three people present could see that he was very excited.

How eagerly he wanted Lily to come back!

Errol thought for a moment and poured a bucket of cold water on it.

"Of course I can help you, Professor Snape, but do you have the soul mark of the person you want to recall? Aunt Ariana can succeed because Grandpa Aberforth has kept Aunt Ariana's portrait very well. , although the soul imprint in that portrait is weak, it does exist after all."

Snape was silent.

This is a big problem.

Snape had many memories about Lily, from childhood to adulthood, and every one of them was deeply imprinted in his mind. As Lily Evans's childhood sweetheart, Snape probably had more memories with Lily than There are more of James Brotle!

As for the magic power, Snape would never boast that it was lower than Aberforth, the old bartender!

But he didn't have anything that had Lily's soul mark.

He has Lily's relics, but they are just ordinary daily items. If Lily died not long ago, maybe traces of the soul can be found on them - the painter who painted the wizard's portrait relied on the soul mark left on the deceased's relics to create the portrait of the deceased. .

But how long has it been since Lily died?

Snape's face quickly turned gray, and the sadness seemed to drown the temperature in the surrounding air.

Snape slumped down and sat down. The fluffy and brightly colored sofa did not bring him happiness. At this moment, he just wanted to get drunk.

"Boss, give me the strongest wine."

——The greatest pain in life is to give you hope, only to have it taken away immediately.

Aberforth understood Snape's thoughts best. He sighed and gave Snape only a glass of butterbeer.

"You'd better not drink any strong liquor now, or you'll be in terrible pain tomorrow."

Snape raised his head and roared:

"I said! Give! Me! The! Strongest! Wine!"

Aberforth still shook his head.

"You are a professor, and you have to teach students on Monday."

"Go to class! Give me wine!"

Errol had never seen Snape so gloomy. The sharp-tongued but elegant professor in her impression was gone.

What she saw in front of her at this moment was just a poor man who had lost his lover.

"Is the person you want to bring back important to you?"

Errol suddenly asked - of course she knew that Snape wanted to recall Lily, but she couldn't say it clearly.

"Very important."

Snape drank down the butterbeer in one gulp, slammed the cup down on the table, and looked at Aberforth fiercely.

"Give me the liquor!"

"So does that person still have any children left in the world? Has she ever cast a long-term magic on something?"

Errol's hint was so obvious that she almost had to mention her by name.

Snape stood up suddenly, his eyes shining again.

Harry Potter!

Lily's son, Lily cast a powerful ancient magic of love on him to protect Harry from Voldemort!

This kind of magic that can last for many years is actually the same as a Horcrux, requiring part of the caster's soul fragments - Lily even used her own life to cast this magic on Harry!

If there is anywhere in the world where there is Lily's soul imprint, or even soul fragments, it must be in Harry Potter!

"Hey!"

Principal Dumbledore suddenly appeared at the Hog's Head pub,

"No, Severus, you can't do this!"

Snape roared:

"Dumbledore! You failed to protect her back then! I just want to summon her ghost now, why not!!?"

Dumbledore sighed and pointed to Ariana's portrait on the wall——

Ever since Ariana's ghost appeared, the portrait that could still make expressions was completely "dead". Ariana in the painting was motionless, just like the Muggle painting.

"Ariana's ghost was indeed summoned by Errol, but accordingly, the soul mark in the original portrait of Ariana disappeared."

Dumbledore paused, his deep gaze meeting Snape's red eyes,

"You know what this means, don't you?"

Snape gasped,

He felt that his head was very dizzy and the world was spinning.

Yes, he understood what Dumbledore meant -

If he used Lily's soul mark in Harry Potter to summon Lily's ghost, the magic Lily cast on Harry Potter would be ineffective.

Voldemort must not be dead. If the magic fails, Harry Potter will directly face the threat of Voldemort.

That was Lily's only child.

If Lily knew that she had sacrificed Harry, she would definitely hate herself to the core.

But what's the point of summoning a Lily who hates him?

"Dumbledore! Help me..."

In Dumbledore's eyes, Snape's face at this moment coincided with the begging face thirteen years ago.

"I……"

Dumbledore looked hesitant.

"Severus...I'm sorry."

……

Errol was very surprised by Dumbledore's arrival. Did this old guy also leave surveillance equipment in the Pig's Head Bar? How else would he know what Snape wanted to do?

So while the two were talking, Miss Owl began to search the room for Dumbledore's "eyes and ears".

It’s just that everything that catches the eye is filled with eye-catching furniture and decorations. Even Errol can tell at a glance that these are all her “masterpieces”.

Unknowingly, her toes dug out a Hogwarts in the void - is her drunken aesthetic so unique?

How embarrassing.

While searching, Errol restored the bar to its original state,

After all this effort, the Pig Head Bar has been renovated, and now it looks brand new.

Finally, in the corner of the bar, Errol found the reason why Dumbledore knew what was going on here——

The AD badge and several gold galleons were thrown here.

Things turned out to be clear, it turned out to be a random thing he threw out of the pendant when he was drunk and crazy.

In fact, not only the badges and gold galleons, but also the items in his pendant were everywhere in the bar, including some items that were not easy for others to see.

"Dumbledore, please... I need her back! If she can come back, I will protect Harry Potter with my life!"

Dumbledore shook his head with a troubled expression.

"No, Severus, do you know your own worth? I need you when You-Know-Who returns...you know."

Errol put the badge back into the pendant and interrupted the conversation between the two:

"that--"

Dumbledore and Snape looked over, and Errol tilted her head.

"I don't know what you are struggling with, but if Professor Snape is willing to use his life to protect Harry Potter, then I can steal the source of Harry Potter's protective magic from his mother's soul fragment and replace it with... Professor Nepp’s soul fragment..."

"It's just that if you do that, Professor Snape, you will be in great pain - after all, tearing a soul apart is not an easy thing."

One more thing, if that is really done, in order to maintain the magic, Harry may have to stay with Snape for a long time... After all, this magic requires the blood relatives of the subject of the spell to maintain the magic.

And Snape has no blood relatives, so he may have to do it by himself.

"Really? Are you sure you can do it?"

Snape jumped over and grabbed Errol's shoulders, the fire in his eyes almost bursting out!

"Well, I'm sure. I have always seen the magic in Harry, and I know the nature of that magic better than any of you."

Dumbledore said solemnly:

"Ello, don't make fun of Harry's safety."

Errol shook her head: "Professor Dumbledore, I will never joke with the lives of my friends, and I will never plot against those around me for the sake of 'greater interests'!"

Dumbledore was speechless.

He knew Errol's origins better than most people, even the Weasleys.

But now it seems that the woman inhabiting the body of the owl may be more mysterious and powerful than he imagined.

"Ello! When do we start?"

Snape was impatient;

Errol blinked and asked in a low voice:

"Are you really not going to ask Harry for his opinion?"

Because Errol was very sure that Harry Potter would never agree to "living in" with Snape during the holidays.

Just thinking about what would happen when two people who hate each other get together made Errol feel her scalp explode.
