HP One More Chance.

It is because it can guarantee that only you, the dear brother who loves his brother, will read it. "

Alice calmly smiled and explained to the guest in front of her whose complexion was half darkened immediately, and led him around the dark house familiarly, as if her eyes still had night vision function, and even a little There was no thought of using candlelight.

Of course, he is not surprised by this.

When he came here before, he knew that in order to prevent people from finding out that this haunted house was still inhabited, Alice didn't even dare to turn on the lights, and kept letting the house exist in the dark, so that there was no light. the point.

"What happened again? Didn't you say you would keep him safe?"

While walking, quietly clenched his wand from his sleeve, Sirius asked Alice without hiding his anger.

Although he said before that he didn't care about this matter, but it was his duty to come here, but in fact he was worried.Although, from the moment he entered the door, the other party had always maintained a kind attitude towards him, and he didn't intend to embarrass himself, but he heard that his younger brother was "something serious" at the moment, and he couldn't calmly reconcile him anyway. The woman in front of her who pushed her younger brother into misery time and time again had a good exchange of views.

"You'll understand when you see him... don't quarrel, okay..."

Alice lowered her voice as much as possible, walked upstairs step by step with light steps, and finally led him to the only bright room at the end of the top floor with the door open to the visitor.

"Regulus..."

Sirius left her and ran straight to that room. When he saw his brother lying motionless on the bed and barely breathing, his eyes were full of sudden and inexplicable surprise and sorrow.

In his impression, Regulus was not so weak.

"How could this be...how could he be like this!"

Even when he reunited in this mansion after a long absence last time, when he saw him, it was obviously not so serious.

After a long time, the people behind followed his footsteps and quietly stood at the door:

"...I know that you won't be patient or willing to listen to my account of what happened to Regulus and me after you left, but I still have an obligation to tell you that your brother's situation is now It’s really not optimistic.”

Alice knew what he was thinking, no doubt.

She folded her hands on her chest and leaned against the door frame, watching silently from behind as he stared unabashedly at Regulus who was sleeping on the bed.She secretly used Legilimency on him, knowing that he really had the slightest thought to kill herself immediately.

The last time the two brothers met each other here is still vivid in my mind.

—that almost killed her.

Therefore, in order to prevent a fierce battle like the breakup in the middle of the last negotiation, it is necessary for her to pay close attention to every trace of this "good brother"'s emotional changes until she knows it well.

——If not, what I want to say today must be impossible to say.

"Magic riots, no one can predict this... What's more, he has long lost the most basic ability to be a wizard, even..."

"Basic ability!?...Alice Miku, how dare you treat Rael like this! You are an extremely vicious witch! If I had known this, I shouldn't have believed you!"

Sirius turned around and interrupted her. The hand that dropped his wand suddenly grabbed the collar of Alice's shirt tightly, as if trying to strangle her to death, and cursed himself continuously with red eyes.

"... I shouldn't... I shouldn't... I would believe you!"

However, Alice was unmoved.

She knew why he acted like this, she knew very well.

——That was his younger brother, and the one lying in front of him was his own younger brother.

"..."

She remained silent, just letting him stare straight into her eyes with hatred and sorrow, making these rough actions to herself, but she didn't resist.Except that she was about to be suffocated by him, she couldn't even utter a single word or syllable at this moment.

She knew that he was too excited, but he didn't have any murderous intent.

"...you vicious witch!"

Seeing that she didn't resist at all, but silently responded to him with the same sad eyes, Sirius suddenly came back to his senses and realized what he was doing now.

"you!"

He yelled, unwillingly let go of his hand holding her collar, and turned around to stop looking at her.

"Cough...cough..."

Finally, when he let go of his restraint, Alice weakly held the door frame, bowed her head and sucked in a big mouthful of air as if she was relieved.

--and many more.

"...I...haven't finished yet...ahem..."

Panting for breath, she finally waited for her breath to calm down before she resumed her original indifferent tone and continued in a low voice:

"...you... Sirius Black... Do you know how much Regulus has always admired your brother, even the night before he passed out here, I asked him why he didn't go back to Black's house, The answer he gave me is still because of the responsibility of you and the Black family..."

She said sternly, and ran to Sirius who was dazed and pointed at the sleeping Regulus, hesitating to speak.

--You do not know.

"He has always assumed the responsibilities of your family for you... Just think about it, if it weren't for you, would your good brother Regulus join the Death Eaters voluntarily? If you didn't leave him that day Everything in the family left Black's house without looking back, if you chose to stay and inherit everything from Black that day, then at this moment, he will definitely not be like this!"

——If it weren't for you, he would never be like this.

"It's because of you...because...you are the elder brother he has always admired but will never be able to match!"

Alice couldn't help talking more and more excited, just like Sirius just now, her eyes were frighteningly red, but she forced back the tears that were about to fall.

"I really naively thought that since the two of you met last time, all misunderstandings have been solved. It turns out... so you are still..."

——Such stupid brothers.

He didn't know, and never believed, all of this.

Even if it was his biological brother who grew up with him since he was a child, he had always been ignorant of his truest and most sincere thoughts.Even if he finally found out, until now he still doesn't want to believe it, this is the truth.

He, as the eldest brother, still claims that he knows everything, understands everything, understands everything... including that useless younger brother who chooses to serve Voldemort!

——All of this turned out to be because of him, really because of him.

Because, he is such a useless brother.

Sirius suddenly pursed the corners of his mouth coldly, his eyes were filled with a terrifying emptiness and loss.

"He could have gotten out of there like I did...he's capable...yes, he's capable like that isn't he..."

He looked at Alice with a dumbfounded smile, and then looked at his younger brother who was lying on the bed and sleeping peacefully in disbelief. His eyes were still full of despair and haze that could not dissipate.

"Ah……"

A sarcastic sneer broke his self-pity.

—It was ridiculous.

"You still don't understand that Regulus is different from you."

——Completely different, even if the two of you are brothers.

"He will never choose to turn his back on his family until he dies, and he did and did it..." Alice quietly retreated to the door frame, her tone uncompromising, "He...isn't like you ... When you left, did you think about your own parents, did you think that they might be punished and retaliated by the Dark Lord because of you, did you think that for your own personal freedom, what you sacrificed It's the future of the entire family... From the beginning to the end, you are simply looking out for yourself, and you have never put yourself in your family's shoes!"

—Look, you really belong to Gryffindor.

The atmosphere turned cold to freezing point in an instant, but the two looked at each other but remained silent again.

If he decided to leave home at the beginning to follow the true belief in his heart, then from the moment he stepped out of the house without looking back, his younger brother—— Regulus Black, he also Like myself, I decided to follow the firm belief in my heart without any regrets.

His belief turned out to be him—Sirius Black.

In order to clean up this dilapidated home, Regulus used his own efforts and his youthful shoulders to support the future of the entire family.Just like him, Sirius, became an Auror for his faith, and Regulus became a Death Eater for his family's faith.

But he never said a word like "come back" to him, even if the two brothers finally met outside the battlefield - like last time in Miku House, it would definitely be because the atmosphere was too dignified or All kinds of grievances are still entangled and there is nothing to say, and they come to a bad end.

"But, it doesn't matter if you talk so much, no matter how wrong I think you are, no matter how much it makes me want to scold you and beat you up...but...but I have always been very grateful to have you This brother's..."

——He remembered that the last time Regulus said this to him in a tone of no regrets, he knew that he was really facing his younger brother.

"My brother..."

He muttered unconsciously, taking a deep breath.

"If... I tell you now, there may be a chance to turn him back into a wizard... Are you willing to take the risk to trust me again and pay me the corresponding price in exchange?"

Alice, who was leaning on the door frame, raised her misty eyes and looked at the lost brother again, as if reciting a spell, she said this sentence to him in a tone without any extra emotion talk.

A request...or, a petition.

"... Would you like to, maybe this time..." She repeated it again, afraid that he couldn't hear clearly, but before she finished speaking, he interrupted her to continue.

"I……"

This time, he turned his head and nodded slightly to her.

—He wants to save his brother.

"Tell me... no matter what the price is, as long as..."

"That," she said more seriously than before, she straightened her body, and shifted her eyes to Regulus unswervingly.

"Please tell me where Lily Evans or James Potter is now."

The author has something to say: As for the author, the author lady has been stupid recently and a little crazy. In short, this chapter was written hastily. If you feel something is wrong, just ignore it.

Mr. Author started to go to class.

☆, 8.3

Apart from the so-called magic, she is just a very poor woman.

—I have nothing but myself.

"If it weren't for the surname 'Miku', I, Alice, would be inferior to any Muggle people. At least...they can choose their own path, but I was born with no choice."

Sitting in the living room of Potter's house, Alice lowered her eyes and kept staring at the cup of hot coffee in front of her but never took a sip, sighed and remained silent.

It has been half an hour since I came here, but the atmosphere is always dignified.After Sirius greeted Potter for him in advance, she came here alone, as if visiting an old friend who had been away for a long time, but came to visit empty-handed and brought nothing.

If it was just a visit this time, she might also feel sorry for coming empty-handed.

but not.

Of course, James was also skeptical of her at the beginning, but Lily, who had a tough attitude, persuaded her husband and agreed to Sirius' request, which allowed her to come, otherwise ...

"Alice..."

"Well... Long time no see, Lily, sorry to bother you so suddenly..."

Alice greeted a little strangely.Even though the person sitting opposite him was Lily Potter, a friend who had disputes in the past, it was obvious that at this moment, he did not come here to bring up the past disputes.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Lily had already sent her husband James to another place before Alice arrived, and there were only the two of them in the reception room at the moment, and no one else.

"... Lily, I just... don't know how to open my mouth for a while, so that I can explain to you the things that have been going on for a long time..."

——How should I start talking?

She subconsciously pulled her coat in, as if suddenly feeling cold.

In fact, after graduating from Hogwarts, just a few years of completely different experiences and situations have already rebaptized each of them.

Not long after graduating from Hogwarts, Lily married James as expected, and joined the Order of the Phoenix under the control of Dumbledore. Everything seemed so logical and natural.

Except her, Alice Miku.

Until the moment before graduation, she still didn't know what her future was, let alone how to plan it.Quietly looking at the cheering classmates around her, she suddenly felt that she walked out of the gate of this school silently with her luggage, in such a hurry but could not stay for a moment.

"Let's go back."

She can only do so.

"Goodbye...if I may."

"...Don't worry, there is a chance, Alice."

"See you."

After saying goodbye to the person behind her who saw her off, she boarded the train aimlessly, closed her eyes, and let it take her back to Miku's house without a word, following a dream she couldn't wake up from.

——The place that has been sealed in memory for seven years.

In order to forget some delusions that should not have existed, she chose to inherit the fate entrusted to her by her family, and then put away all restless emotions to resist to the death in the vaguely turbulent era.

—Maybe... that is her final destination?

She smiled self-deprecatingly.

"It's been so long since I've been able to meet you...and since we met after graduation, I didn't expect it to be like this, Lily."

Alice smiled bluntly, just like the hasty smile that day before saying goodbye.

"...Don't say that, Alice, it's been a long time since we've seen each other, what happened in the past...do we need to mention it now?"

Hearing the other party's unfamiliar words after so many years, Lily, as the host, did not feel strange at all after being away for so many years.She took the initiative to sit beside Alice familiarly, and covered her cold hand with her warm palm, whispering:

"I know what you've done all these years. The Miku family... Actually, it's hard to tell, isn't it? James also mentioned something to me... I'm sorry, Alice, I couldn't be by your side at that time , as your friend..."

"Hmm..." Feeling some warmth in her trembling palms, Alice clenched her hands and shook her head, "You don't have to mind this...you don't have to feel sorry for this...I ..."

"But, at least I can be sure now that after you have gone through something like that, you will be on our side now, aren't you?"

Lily took her words, with a look of enthusiasm and discord in her eyes, which made Alice, who suddenly raised her head to meet her eyes, feel tighter.

"No, no...it's not like that..." Now, she didn't know how to explain it even more, so she could only continue to smile apologetically, "I will never stand on any side, you know, Lily, let's not talk about it My family, just my own thoughts... you know, I don't want to fight for either side."

She shook her head again, but she had expected that the other party would ask her the reason for this visit.

"Believe me, despite this, I'm telling the truth."

"I know...it's okay, you can continue talking, it's okay..."

Lily let go of Alice's hand, "We are friends, so there is no need to say polite words, Alice."

"I hope so too, it's just..."

——Sure enough, we haven't seen each other for too long.

"I am very grateful to you and James for trusting me... It's just that I'm not here this time to show you my position, let alone simply reminiscing about the old days..."

Alice paused, removed the cold cup of coffee in front of her, and took out a royal blue velvet jewelry box from her coat pocket.

--That is?

She didn't open it, but just stretched out her hand to signal Lily to open it herself.

"what is this?"

"Open it first and have a look..."

Seeing Lily slowly open her jewelry box with some hesitation, Alice suddenly closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Do you really want to do this?

She didn't even need to look to know what was inside.

——That necklace is the whole life for me.

The moment the box was opened, the dazzling water-blue gemstones were flickering peacefully but actively inside the box, as if they were rubbed into the tears of a mermaid, and the cool breath that emanated immediately took one's breath away.

"……This is!"

Lily exclaimed involuntarily for a moment, and looked up in surprise at Alice who had reopened her eyes and looked at it calmly.

"You read that right, Lily...so..."

"How is this possible? This necklace is something that they want to get at any cost and even destroy your whole family. You actually..."

Lily interrupted her first, and immediately returned the jewelry box to her in panic.

"Wait a minute...please listen to me, Lily..."

Alice sighed, calmed down and pushed the box to her hand again calmly, and stated calmly, "Sorry, it may be a little sudden for me to say this, but I hope you can bring it, at least ...If anything happens in the future, it will give you a chance to live forever, only once..."

"How could there be an accident? How could it be... Isn't everything going well now? And Sirius is our secret keeper, no one knows where we are now..."

Lily was confused by her words for a moment, and raised her green eyes to look at her for some unknown reason, as if she had lost her mind for a while.

"Believe me, the days of peace won't be too long...I didn't lie to you, really, I don't want to see you in an accident, including your family, I don't want them to have an accident, but I know..."

Alice stopped suddenly, as if avoiding something, stopped talking, and silently closed her mouth.

"What do you know? Why didn't you say it all of a sudden?" Seeing that she had stopped listening, Lily asked anxiously at this moment, feeling even more confused in her heart.

"I……"

--sorry, I……

"……I really……"

Alice really wanted to speak, but reason drove her to remain silent, which suddenly plunged her into an unprecedented contradiction, which was extremely painful.

"Sorry, forgive me... I don't know if it's appropriate to tell you at this time."

——If you tell her, it will be tantamount to wasting everything I did before.

I don't want this, and I don't want to.

Sorry.

No matter... it's for him, her, or "you" in the end.

"Sorry, really."

The author has something to say: a late update....

It was supposed to be updated in February....

The authors were busy with their own work, but it was delayed until April.

Haha....If you want to resent, then resent Xiao Er.

☆, 9.1

"Stop what you're doing, Snape, you're not that stupid."

It was no one else who said that, and it couldn't be anyone else, but Snape himself - the bewildered man who was doing something stupid right now.

When he realized that his thoughts returned to his brain, he did not know when there was an extra bottle of wine in his hand, and it was just opened. It seemed that he was going to foolishly hold the wine and plan to drink it down.

—that was something only his stupid father would do.

"……impossible."

What happened today?

He immediately put down the bottle of wine in his hand, got up and walked back to his room, facing a huge row of bookshelves, staring at one of them, but just looking at it without doing anything else up.

"……madness……"

——"You are really too stupid today, my dear colleague." Lucius shook his head unhurriedly, and took a sip of the mellow red wine with closed eyes: "I mean... It is rumored that the amulet of the Rimiko family has been passed down from generation to generation. If you have inquired a little bit, you will know that their ancestors used that 'talisman' to escape death."

--amulet?

He actually knew about it, even if he had only heard it once. However, out of curiosity, he wanted to know the rest of the story, so he briefly recorded it in the notebook he used at the time.

I said it was a notebook, but in fact, it looked like a draft book that would be burned when it was used up, because it was filled with the drafts I wrote for preparing potions when I was a student. Of course, the things in it were actually worthless, because I tried Later, I learned that most of the so-called "experimental" recipes were wrong.

The correct formula has already been put into my brain.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

"You mess up the ingredients like this, be careful to blow up your cauldron and die."

He was constantly stirring a pot of ready-made potion in front of him, Snape turned his head to look at his partner on another production table not far away, watching her clumsily and recklessly playing with the table The materials on the table were thrown into her cauldron in a weird order that he found unimaginable and intended to prevent her from blowing up the classroom.

"...Hi, are you calling me?" As if asking knowingly, especially when it was after school at this time, when there were only the two of them left in the classroom, Alice continued to bury her head in her pot triumphantly "Dynamite", obviously did not consider its danger at all.

"Miss Miku, if you plan to make some 'explosive' inventions, please wait until I finish the potion I'm going to make and leave here safely before you continue, I don't want to die with you. ' Snape shot her a serious look.

"Oh...that, I know." Alice smiled and continued to develop her natural dullness.

"Now that you know it, you're still going on. Are you really stupid or fake?" At this point, Snape suddenly felt a little angry, and the potion he was stirring in his hand just finished the last round of stirring amidst the sound of reproaches. Well, after he extinguished the fire, he turned around and was about to carry her out of this place together with the pot of dangerous things.

"Hey, hey, stop! How can you do this!" Seeing that he raised his wand and was about to come over and destroy his achievements, Alice turned around and blocked the other party and her own behind him. In front of the crucible, "Tell me I know! This pot is not the 'dynamite' you mentioned. I am experimenting with a new formula... I am about to succeed. Do you know that it is not an 'dynamite'..."

"I don't want to die, miss." Snape gave her a helpless look. "At least, please don't do things that threaten others or make me feel threatened..."

"But I won't die, sir." Alice looked up into Snape's black eyes seriously, "What are you worried about? I won't have the idea of ​​killing you, so please rest assured .”

"You don't know when you're going to die, so... I'm not stupid enough to think that you can kill me, just threatening..."

"Okay, okay," Alice suddenly felt that he actually wanted to express something, so she wanted to laugh but tried not to laugh out loud, "How about this, since there is no one now..." She He casually leaned against the table, and after extinguishing the stove, he was not in a hurry to bottle the potion, with a meaningful look.

"Didn't you always wonder...why do I do so many daring things and never worry about dying?"

Whether it was a sneaky sneak into the most secret place in the Hogwarts library, staying up all night in order to find those forbidden books on black magic, or holding a time converter, secretly in the middle of the night Dodging patrols and sneaking into Slytherin's common room, I don't know what I want to do. In short, this restless Ravenclaw has almost done a lot of heroic things comparable to Gryffindor.

"No, I'm not interested in knowing your heroic deeds at all, and I don't even want to find out why you are not afraid of death, Miss Miku."

Snape said indifferently, his tone full of "don't waste my time".

"Oh, come on, Severus," Alice suddenly changed her name, and after a playful smile, she waved her hands in front of his eyes, "Anyway, but today Miss Ben just wants to tell you something something, so listen up..."

"Don't tell me that you secretly drank alcohol before coming to class today, you must be crazy today..." Snape thought to himself that Alice Miku, who started "talking crazy" in front of him, must be She was so stupid, so she wanted to tie her out of the cellar immediately, lest she really have to tear it down.

"Listen!" She stared into his eyes, "I, Alice Miku, because of the prophecy and the necklace left to me by my family, I will definitely not die before the person I love the most kills me .”

"Prophecy? Necklace?" Snape grabbed Alice's hand with his backhand and pulled her to the door of the cellar. "Are you sure your thinking is normal today?"

"It's normal!" Alice yelled, struggling.

"...Okay, you are normal, I'm crazy... Oh, yes, I was driven crazy by you, so you go, if you continue like this, you will either commit suicide or I will kill you..."

After he dragged her to the door, he pushed her out and closed the door immediately. By the way, he cast a few sound-proof spells and sealing spells, mercilessly keeping that "crazy woman" out.

--no.not like this……

"...Necklace...It's a necklace...Alice Miku..."

her necklace.

He finally remembered why she suddenly went mad at him that day, and then yelled crazy words like "I won't die".

"If Lucius is telling the truth, then the master wants me to kill her just for the purpose of..."

——He is afraid of death, so he wants to get eternal life.

Obviously, after the prophecy appeared, the biggest threat to the Dark Lord was the boy born at the end of July who appeared in the prophecy and would usher in his own demise.However, before the prophecy is fulfilled, if he has obtained enough protection to ensure that he will not perish, then now he does not need to waste time to have people hunt and kill Lily's family...

In other words, Alice Miku died, but the necklace was missing.

"... Lucius knows... no, he knows something..."

He stood up suddenly, dropped the notebook in his hand, turned around and disappeared into the darkness again.

The author has something to say: Ms. Author PS: When I wrote these things, I went to Jinjiang specially before preparing for the academic proficiency test, and read some new comments at the back of the article.So, suddenly the idea of ​​writing down has always been in my heart, so, while writing my new work, I also re-read this thing, and then continue.

When I read the chapters I wrote before, I would be surprised that "I can write such a thing", which is a bit unbelievable, but writing with the author's husband has always been so unbelievable.

☆, 9.2

After sending Regulus away, he was really the only one in this dilapidated house.

"...Where are you?"

Falling exhausted in a dark room, Alice felt as if all the strength had been taken out of her body, and even her breathing became so difficult and weak.

——The pledge in March was destroyed in Fusang in June, a family was destroyed because of selfishness and guilt, the mermaid tears linked to life smashed the lover's heart, death is inevitable but can rewrite fate twice, All axioms will end in the disguised justice, and then they will be reborn safely in the arms of the mandala, and will be dissolved for a bunch of blue irises in the hands of the loved one...

"What the hell does that mean?"

She closed the dilapidated but well-preserved "Constraint and Restoration Law" that lay flat on her lap, and after a long sigh, she paused, and once again tried her best to cling to the wall beside her Standing up, he stomped on his legs that had become numb and tingling from kneeling still.

"... Hiss..." The fingers accidentally touched the cold limestone wall, which touched the wound, causing a heart-pounding pain to flow from the fingertips into his own nerves.She suddenly lost her support and fell to the ground with a slam, gasping for air helplessly on the ground.

All ten fingers have been scratched by her.In order to find out the method to activate the legendary magic written in the family's ancient book, she tried countless times with her own blood, trying to draw the most perfect formation, but failed again and again.

—I didn’t expect you to have today, poor Alice.

Many years ago, the crazy woman who was once powerful, omnipotent and fearless in someone's eyes was really "crazy" at this moment: Not only did she have to work hard for these things that she knew had little chance of success, she also had to be stupid. You have to be naive enough to wash away the sins he has committed for the sake of the person who will never look back at you. What's even more unreasonable is that you can't even get love, and you think you can protect the love of others , as stupid as you can be, and it's really pitiful to risk your own life on credit from Merlin for the sake of your life.

"……no……"

There is not much time left.

"Three days... There are three more days..."

Three days later, under the shroud of darkness, that new round of assassination activities will proceed as scheduled.

"...No, it must not happen...Yes...No, I have to continue...I have to find out...If not..."

—to survive.

In such a night, a sudden gust of cold wind poured into the room from nowhere, instantly blew the wound on her cut finger numb, the blood stopped suddenly, and the numbness of the wound scab seemed insignificant.Alice regained her composure, patted herself on the cheek, casually grabbed a manjusawa hairpin decorated with bronze on the low table, tied up her hair, stood up vigorously and walked to the messy magic circle in front of her. inside.

--Certainly possible.

Pick up the knife, close your eyes, and use the calmest and deepest feeling to complete this spell that sincerely requires the caster to enlighten from the heart.

"...Afterwards, she was reborn safely in the arms of the mandala, and was dissolved for a bunch of blue irises in the hands of her loved one. Life and death are all..."

She was about to cut her finger for No. 11 to let her blood flow out for her to continue writing her formation. The knock on the door startled her, and nine out of ten spells she had chanted stopped abruptly.

"……Who?"

There was obviously an impatient look in her brows, and she looked at No.11 with her eyes open.
