38 years of past events

The world was over, Muggles and wizards alike, and a lingering haze hung over the sky, like an April fog in London.A spell passed around, and everyone fled in panic.

I landed from the air and stopped in front of the broken bricks and tiles of Hogsmeade village. At this time, the Death Eaters headed by Evira laughed rough after blowing up the Pig's Head pub, and a stumbling child jumped out of the crowd. Zhong threw himself at my feet, and before he could say anything, the Killing Curse flying from beside him hit him immediately, and he fell to the ground with his big eyes wide open.

I couldn't help frowning, but Alecto Caro's expression was so calm, she was staring at the front, as if it was something she was used to.

"I joined the Volpes Knights when I was 15, and you get used to it someday," she said.

"With your brother?"

"It's my husband." She lowered her eyelashes and said without emotion.

I raised my eyebrows, a little surprised, it turns out that the tradition of inbreeding is not limited to the Gaunt family.I still remember the first time I met Alecto that year, she was a student with two dimples at the corners of her mouth when she smiled.Whenever my father's meeting started and Amycus Carrow closed the gate, she would quietly climb over the fence of the manor house and take six-year-old me to fly a kite in Godric's Hollow.Those times now suddenly feel like a long time ago.

"You seem to have changed a lot over the years." I couldn't help but also sighed, not knowing why I felt sorry for her.

She looked at me and murmured for a long time, "Azkaban..." There was something she wanted to say for a while, but she didn't say it.

At this moment, Evira had noticed us, and he signaled to all the Death Eaters around him, and they all gathered in front of him in unison for a while, and saluted me respectfully.

"Where is my father?" I pointed to Evira's head and asked first.

"Randolph?" He looked at his wand in surprise. "What's going on here?"

"Shut up! Some things will be settled with you later, and now I ask you where is the Dark Lord?"

My wand took another step closer to him, and he was very interested: "I think it may be screaming shack."

"Alecto, you stay." I hinted that she would continue to search for the Horcrux, and at the same time put away her wand and turned to leave.

"Are you going now?"

"if not?"

"It's probably inappropriate, I mean, Snape's here, you probably wouldn't want to see him," Evera told me.

"Snape? You found him?"

"He seems to be in serious trouble." Evera shrugged indifferently. "I think we have to say goodbye to the old man."

As soon as Evila's words fell, I immediately walked through the twisted space and went straight to the screaming shack. However, when the torn door panel fell in front of me, I still saw Nagini's fangs piercing his neck , the man fell to the ground, his face was pale, his suddenly enlarged eyes stared straight at the ceiling, his expression was more desolate and helpless than any other time in his life.

"There's only one Elder Wand, so I'm sorry, old chap," said Father coldly, putting away his wand.

"Okay, now it's time for me to see who's back." He turned to face me, his red eyes sparkling.

"You... really killed him." I've seen death, and I've brought death to others, but when I'm facing Snape now, I still can't control the trembling of my lips.He is my childhood hatred, the spurn of my student days, but also the teacher I can respect all my life.

"Okay, come here, I have something to tell you." He motioned me away from the Shrieking Shack.

At the last moment, I seemed to see his fingers move, and he raised his wrist with difficulty, trying to grab something in the air, Merlin, for the first time in my life, I felt sympathy, and I suddenly wanted to Go grab his hand, listen to his narration through years of misunderstanding and hatred for him, instead of abandoning him alone on the wilderness at the end of life.

However, my father was calling me.

I know that I will eventually leave him here——

Finally, when I met those sad eyes, he let go of his guard for the first time, I closed my eyes, and only read that sentence from the depths of his memory: Love is like ten years.

Many years later, when I fully understood the meaning of this sentence from Lily Potter, that moment was like a shock to my soul. It turned out that, as early as that time, my father's failure was inevitable. up.

The wind was blowing hard outside, not at all like the weather these days.My father was standing under the Whomping Willow, the withered and yellow leaves piled up at his feet, his robe was blown up, I took a step and walked towards him.

On that spider-like pale hand, a silver-green locket shimmered, "What is your purpose for coming back?"

I didn't pick up the locket because I knew he wasn't the type to forgive easily.And I'm always guessing about him.

Maybe it's because my thoughts have been understood by him, and a little displeasure appeared in his eyes: "Put down your stupid self-righteousness."

"Of course, there is nothing I can hide from you today, my great father."

However, my slick tongue didn't do me any favors, and he glared at me: "Forget about that, I know you well, Randolph."

"Really, I thought all you cared about was rights."

He froze for a moment, his snake-like nostrils opened and closed slightly, and he turned his head away without saying anything.

"Why did you kill Snape?"

"Isn't that what you wanted?"

"I didn't want him dead, I just—"

He sneered, "You used to emphasize his betrayal to me again and again, and now you tell me you don't want him dead, Randolph, you are becoming less and less like you."

I was suddenly at a loss for words, a lot of things had happened recently, but these strange emotional changes did make me panic for a while, I wandered between eating people and being eaten, hesitating between killing and stopping.Those delicate emotions confused my nerves and made me very painful for a while.

"Okay, forget about those unpleasant things, the value of Severus is over, even if you don't tell me that he joined the Order of the Phoenix, I will kill him, because the Elder Wand is destined to belong only to great wizards." He caressed Starting with the wand in his hand, he looked at its luster carefully from the side of his head.

I looked at him and felt a little sad: "Yes, you found Evira to replace Snape to develop potions for you, and Snape naturally lost his value, so whether he betrayed or not What's the point? All the things I wanted to tell you in the past turned out to be worthless."

"Nothing is worth mentioning, you are my son, and everything you bring is worth it." His arrogant and clear voice has never changed.

"So what if I say that I can no longer bring you value in the future?"

He raised his head, "What exactly do you want to say?"

I looked into his eyes and was silent for a while, all the words turned into three words on my lips: "It's nothing..."

In front of him, the wind swept gently, cutting off the distance between me and him.

"When the war is over, you can go." He said, my body trembling on my back, as if I misheard something.

"No. 48 Wells Street is Thicknesse's old house. I bought Grimmauld Place where Daisy Malfoy lived, and the Muggle cottage next to the orphanage where your mother stayed," He still wanted to say something, but in the end he just said softly: "Forget it, maybe you will find what you want."

"Father..." I suddenly discovered that such a father was something I had never known before, and at that moment I wanted to open my mouth to say something to him.

"Okay, now I promise you, help me complete one last thing, bring me back Ravenclaw's crown, and then, you can go."

you just go...

I heard it right, it really came from the mouth of the great Dark Lord, the haze that has shrouded my life for more than 20 years, the first time I opened the light of dawn, I have never cried since I was ten years old, my eyes There was a sudden wetness in his face, "Thank you, father."

He didn't say anything, just stepped forward to hold my hand, and put the locket quietly in my palm, as if entrusting him with all the deep and wordless love in his life He came over, and then his back disappeared into the apparition with the sound of the wind.

Many years later, the history has become dusty and mottled. Someone once traced it in the book. Since the establishment of the Walpus Knights for many years, the Death Eaters organization has never been able to achieve a truly complete meaning. leave.

But only I know that in 1998, my father agreed to this seemingly impossible decision for the first time in his life.

The author has something to say:

Lao Fu really loves the little basket, and he knew he couldn't keep it, so he chose to let him go, especially when he asked Lucius if Draco didn't come back, Lao Fu thought It has already been decided.
