38 years of past events

It's 9:48, and the scheduled sailing time has been delayed by an hour, but the sunny sky just now turned dark, and the clouds above the head began to thicken, and a large area of ​​darkness came from the distant sky .The Muggles on deck said it was going to rain, a violent downpour.

I closed my eyes and took a breath, the smell of decay and death was approaching, I felt the long-lost black magic!

Subconsciously, I immediately wanted to grab my wand, as I have done for countless days and nights in the past, but when the robe turned into a crisp suit and felt a cloud of air from the pocket, I realized that it had already been locked in the old in the suitcase.

The black clouds in the distance had already pressed to the top of the head, and it was about to fall. At this time, the man who came out of the cockpit of the ship muttered something to everyone in a Russian accent. I don’t know if someone didn’t understand him. Meaning, for a while, the Muggles were in a heated mood, and then there was a quarrel, a large quarrel, some people clamored to refund the ticket, and some clamored to get off the boat.

"Bang!" The light ball hit the crowd, and a violent explosion sounded, smashing a deep hole on the deck, and then emitting a burning smell.

Time only paused for a second, and suddenly someone screamed loudly, "Run!" For a while, the crowd swarmed and stepped on each other, blocking the exit of the boat, and I was forced to squeeze in the crowd and drift with the tide.

Worse things continued to happen. I saw pairs of rotten hands protruding from behind the dark clouds, and they were floating in the sky in large and worn-out robes, panting with death.

"God, what the hell is that?" a Muggle exclaimed in amazement.

"Keep your head down!" I warned him, but it was too late, the dementor spotted him and hugged him closest.

"Go to hell, you monsters!" "Bang bang!" At this moment, someone fired a gun into the sky, but it was useless. In time, they spread all over the sky, enveloping the crowd. Sadness made everyone feel depressed, as if they had lost their strength, they all fell to the ground, whimpering in fear and crying in sorrow.

In this chaotic environment, I wanted to grab the locket on my chest, but there was nothing but emptiness.

I was stunned for a moment, the locket of the Slytherin house was gone!

I searched my body, and finally I could only believe that this terrible thing really happened.

Merlin!Nothing is more trouble than this now!I tried my best to control the horror and panic in my heart, trying to search for some clues in my mind.

However, the noise made by the Muggles in Zhoucao made my head hurt even more, and the uncontrollable rage and bloodthirsty seemed to revive from my body again.

At this moment, a ray of light suddenly shot out from a distance, bright and soft, illuminating the entire dark sky. For a moment, starting from the direction of the light, the dementors scattered, the haze receded, and a silver doe appeared in the light. Outlined, jumping in the mid-air amidst dark clouds.

"Guardian!" A few seconds after I reacted, black shadows appeared from the clouds, and they flew over the heads of Muggles wearing silver Death Eater masks and laughed wildly. The gust of wind hit the crowd, causing screams and panic.

They were flying in the direction that sent out the summoning guard, in the southwest not far from the port, oh, what a familiar direction.There seems to be - Spider's End!

Snape!

It was Snape!

He had been hiding in the Muggle world, no wonder the Death Eaters couldn't find him!

The war in the distance had already begun. After finding Snape, the Death Eaters and Dementors all concentrated in that direction. Fighting spells streaked across the air, bursting out with dazzling light, like beautiful shooting stars.

My hand chooses between loosening and clenching.

To be a wizard and continue the bad past, or to grow old in time as a powerless Muggle?

Many years later, after the dust of the world has settled, I met the boy who survived the catastrophe again across the English Channel. He gave me the most accurate and sad evaluation of my life. What is really different about Del's man, then maybe, Tom Riddle will never compromise with mediocrity to fate, but I am always wandering at the crossroads of choice, those pretended strengths just come from being unbearable under the solitary courage Strike, and his insurmountable back.

In the end, the suitcase was torn apart in my hand, and the familiar yew wood wand returned to my palm. Amidst the astonishment of the Muggles around me, I turned into smoke and returned to the sky that belonged to me.

"Avada Kedavra (Avada Kedavra)!" The green light instantly hit the Hushen guard with an unstoppable force.The silver doe was scattered, and turned into countless shiny silver shavings with a bang, falling from the air in a pyrotechnic manner, and even the surrounding dementors were scattered away by the dazzling glare of the light. The Death Eaters led by Ra and Mulciber turned around and took off their masks, looking at me with a look of astonishment beyond belief.

When a long time passed and the sky became dark again, Alecto opened his mouth stiffly and took the lead in saying, "Welcome back, Randolph."

After all, I didn't escape this land that made me tired and tired, like the smog that never disperses in England, we are lost in it, but no one knows where the next intersection is.

"You are right, the war has begun. The yew wood is more suitable for me." The last sentence, I seemed to be speaking to myself.

"Bella, Mulcyber, you lead people to continue hunting for Snape, Amycus Carrow, you and Travers go back to Hogwarts, closely monitor every move there, especially McGonagall and Don't let them play tricks, Slughorn. As for Alecto, you stay, we have something important to do now!"

As in the past, I immediately worked out a detailed plan and distributed it to everyone in a short period of time. When they received the order, they all turned into fog and disappeared in London. Only Alecto and I were left on the ground. Looking at me, I wanted to say something, but I closed my mouth knowingly.

"Better keep your mouth shut forever about things you're not supposed to ask." The next second we're disapparating.

The surroundings flew by like the wind, and Alecto was quiet all the way, so I started asking her, "When you found me the other day, were there other people around?"

"No...no." She was always like this, and every time I was left to ask her alone, she would stutter.

"Then did you find anything suspicious around, I mean strange things that were left behind."

"No...nothing."

I saw her eyes twinkle at that moment, and I warned her: "Tell the truth!"

Apparation stopped at the gate of Malfoy Manor, she fell on my chest unexpectedly, I grabbed her arm and forced her to look at me, "Don't try to lie to me!"

"me……"

"Do you know why I asked you to come back with me?"

She shook her head.

"Because my Horcrux is missing!" I said, pointing my wand at her, "but I thought about it and found that you were the only one there, so now I can forgive you if you tell me the truth."

"No, not me!" she said.

"Who is that? Look at me!" I raised her head, looked into her eyes, and Legilimency entered the depths of my memory.

In the dim Malfoy Manor, with the sound of glass shattering, everyone kneeling on the ground trembled. Alecto knelt in front of him, lowering his head tightly.

"You've disappointed me! It's terrible!" The Dark Lord paced among them, his low voice full of anger.

"You've got no way of finding that damned boy, not even Randolph! I'm beginning to wonder what's the point of keeping you fools!"

The dark lord's icy wrath could be felt throughout the house now, and everyone bowed their heads as if they were about to hit the ground.

"Alecto, tell me—" The Dark Lord came to Alecto Carrow's side, Alecto sobbed and shook his head violently.

"How dare you lie to Voldemort! Crucio! (Crucio)!"

"Ah!" Alecto fell to the ground in pain.

"I saw it, I saw it in your head! He was hurt, why didn't you bring him back! How dare you disobey Voldemort! Crucio (Crucio)..."

I came out of Alecto's memory, her green pupils reflecting me deeply, the same look I had seen in another girl's eyes, at least a long time ago.

"You should confess to him. Nothing can be hidden from Legilimency. Even if you did, I wouldn't know."

"No... I, I said... I won't betray you, so I definitely won't..." When she said this, her tone was very firm, and I even couldn't bear to look at her.

"Forget it, now it's important to find the Slytherin locket."

We turned into Malfoy Manor, and surprisingly, all the Death Eaters were gone, including my father.

Looking at the empty Malfoy Manor, I felt unspeakable doubts in my heart: "I've only been away for a few days, what happened here?"

"The Dark Lord is gone, taking everyone with him! They went to Hogwarts, right now." At some point, Lucius was already standing at the door.

Through the dim light in the room, I could see the bruises on his face, and the long, meticulously combed hair was messily scattered on his shoulders.

He noticed the look in my eyes and just turned his head slightly to the side, as if it could hide the scar on his face.

I think I can already guess what's going on, "Mission failed?"

I looked at Alecto again, and she bowed her head too.

"Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley escaped, and they rescued many of the Mudbloods being held in the dungeons," said Alecto.

"Just the two of them?" I couldn't believe it.

"There is another elf, from the Malfoy family." As he said, Alecto glanced at Lucius intentionally, "The elf named Dobby can travel through space freely, so the Dark Lord was furious after this happened. Even if you are not here..."

"Carol, stop talking!" Lucius scolded.

"So, he didn't take you to Hogwarts this time?"

"He asked me to stay in the manor and take care of the things underground by the way."

"What is it?"

Lucius hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered, "Fifty tons of poppy."

"Merlin!" I took a deep breath, "What do you need so many poppies for?"

Lucius smiled: "Do you think we have been smuggling poppies from Germany just to improve our own black magic?" He shook his head: "No! More than 50 years ago, someone discovered its greater For every four kilograms of poppy coffee plus some special potion and drug mixture, it can produce unimaginable power."

"You mean explosion!"

"No! It's bombing! Violent magic bombing!"

"So, that's why Father puts up with Snape again and again, we need him!"

"It used to be like this, but now, since Snape defected, we haven't found him for a long time, but fortunately, we found that Evira's potions class is also outstanding."

"Evira?" I laughed in surprise, someone I once trusted and swore to be loyal to, but only now did I realize I didn't know them.

"Yes, in fact there is more about Evira, but I don't think you want to know, especially since he often reports everything about your whereabouts to your father."

"Enough." I stopped Lucius from telling me more unknown things. "So Snape's value has become insignificant. Regardless of whether he has betrayed us or not, the Dark Lord will decide to kill him at the end!"

That's why, no wonder, a long time ago, no matter what Bella and I talked about about Snape, my father would always be indifferent, but now I finally understand that it was his smile when he passed the crowd and saw death.

I asked Lucius, "Are they all heading to Hogwarts now?"

"Yes, no accident, the war is about to start, between today and tomorrow." Lucius said, "I have a hunch."

I pondered for a moment, turned around and was about to leave, but Lucius called me from behind: "Are you going to Hogwarts now?"

"Correct."

"Then let's make a deal." Lucius said, his words fell a bit unusually in the empty room, "As a bargaining chip, I will rot about Popa in my stomach forever."

"What are you talking about Lucius?" I turned my head and half-closed my eyes.

"Help me find Draco! Please, Randolph."

I smiled sarcastically: "What? The war hasn't started yet, did Mr. Malfoy conclude so quickly that we will lose?"

"I don't want to care about winning or losing now. I know it's come to an end. We can lose everything, but we can't lose Draco! Help me find Draco, I will offer my loyalty unconditionally, otherwise... ..." He looked into my eyes and said firmly: "I can't guarantee whether fifty tons of poppy will appear in Malfoy Manor tomorrow."

"You! How dare you join the Order of the Phoenix! I can kill you right now!" I threatened him in a low voice.

"Randolph, you don't have children, and you never loved someone. You won't understand. Draco is everything to me and Narcissa!" He paused and continued: "The day Alecto came back, your father Asked me a question, what should I do if Draco never comes back? I said Draco is all I have! I just want him to be happy. Then he gave up looking for you after that."

My heart seemed to be hit suddenly, and those childhood memories seemed to be suddenly unsealed, and all of them flooded into my mind, such as the pronunciation of the first spell, the recognition of the Slytherin family emblem, the whisper in the dark, etc. Wait, it's so full that it gives me a headache.

"Randolph?" Alecto noticed my abnormality, and she called me softly.

"Nothing!" I shook my heavy head vigorously, and continued with everything just now.

"I'm sorry to tell you this, I just hope you can understand the heart of a father, please help me."

Looking at Lucius' eyes, I don't know why, that moment made me give up Legilimency: "I can help you, but I can't guarantee whether Draco is safe, I mean, if he takes refuge, he shouldn't take refuge in him." people, then there is nothing I can do.”

"Thank you." Before leaving, Lucius contained all expectations and hopes in that grateful look, which I can't forget.

Later, Alecto asked me why I didn't just kill Lucius. If he betrayed us once for Draco, he would betray us a second time.

I stopped apparating, stopped on the open grass, and when I looked up, the sky was still dark, and I said wait...

If the betrayal of Lucius fulfilled my only understanding of my father, then those youthful impulsiveness and recklessness have become ridiculous and not worth mentioning. The back that I tried to surpass is my father standing there never changed direction.He used the most silent way to protect that youthful pride. It was not until a long, long time later that I realized that in that era, many people knew better than me, whether it was Evira or Lu Xiu s.

It's just that I was too young at that time.

The author has something to say:

Lao Fu is proud, and Xiaolan, who is also a descendant of Slytherin, is also proud. When Xiaolan thinks he is smart and exposes Snape's betrayal to Lao Fu again and again, Lao Fu actually understands it in his heart. As a father, Fu protected his son's pride in his son's rebellious youth, and concealed many things, such as Lucius' infidelity, such as Evira who was not completely loyal to the little basket, but always told the old Fu After explaining the current situation of Xiaolanzi, all these things were under the silent love of Lao Fuzang. He created Xiaolanzi's intelligence and ability centered on Death Eaters, and protected his son's pride. This is what this article wants to express most about the father. The silence and depth of love.
