[HP Doujin] 1943

Six o'clock in the afternoon, August 1955, 8, Randall House, Bernard Vale.

The dim twilight fell in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the white curtains curled up tiny daisy petals, dancing softly and gracefully in the wind, the movements were so beautiful and peaceful, as if they were also alive.

Elizabeth was wearing a long apple green dress, her long chestnut hair was pulled back into a low bun, and a few fluffy bangs fell on her forehead.She sat quietly on the sofa, the white furniture cast shadows on her lap, the brass record player was slowly turning, and the diamond stylus was shining quietly, in the dark living room, it seemed like darkness A twilight lighthouse on the vast sea.

She closed her eyes slightly, tilted her head back, and lay quietly on the sofa.The explosion outside the window was getting closer and closer, and the sound of windows shattering and cars exploding kept coming, but her expression became more and more serene, and there was even a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Elizabeth!" A furious voice came from the driveway outside. After a few seconds, a person rushed in the door, the black cloak was covered with leaves and blackened sawdust. Tony stepped to the sofa and pulled it down. He took off his hood and snapped off the record player, his honey-colored hair dripping with sweat, his dark blue eyes gleaming with anger and anxiety.

"What are you doing! Follow me immediately!" Tony grabbed Elizabeth's arm and dragged her up. Elizabeth's expression seemed to wake up from a dream. She looked at Tony and tried to break free from his hand, but her The arm was so weak and limp, it was completely useless.

"I'm not leaving," she whispered.

"Do you know what you are doing?" Tony said loudly, "Bernard's Valley has been surrounded by more than 100 Aurors right now, and the group of black wizards headed by Tom Riddle is on the hill, and the next round of attacks will happen at any time." will begin!"

A faint smile appeared on Elizabeth's pale face. She turned her head to look at the flames and smoke outside, and repeated: "I won't go."

"Tony!" Someone shouted outside, "Tony!"

"Claudia!" Both Tony and Elizabeth looked towards the door, and saw a thin woman jumping off the broom and running into the door, her hair was loose from her bun, and there were several scratches on her face. The expression was terrified.

"Elizabeth! For Merlin's sake, you must leave here with us immediately!" Claudia walked over, grabbed Elizabeth's hand, and said, "Why are you back again?"

"Why are you back?" Tony looked at Claudia with a furious expression on his face, and grabbed her by the shoulder, "Didn't I tell you to go back to London with the child?"

"The child and everyone else have left safely," Claudia said quickly, with an expression of disbelief on her pale face, "I'm here to take you away."

Before Tony could answer, a huge explosion came from the front, blasting the driveway into a crater, sending black smoke billowing into the indigo night sky.

"Get out of the back garden!" Tony yelled, pushing the two women, drawing his wand and roaring, "Here comes the broomstick!"

The broom that Claudia threw outside the door whizzed in, Tony grabbed the broom, and the three of them stumbled to the back door, coughing from the smoke, and ran across the lake to the low-lying Violet Creek. Gu ran away.

A new round of battle has already begun, the sound of explosions and roars is getting closer and closer to them, and the people from the Ministry of Magic are approaching the mountain step by step. "We're going to the lower ground," Tony said. "Riddle's men hold the hill, and the Aurors are attacking it."

While he was speaking, the rocks and mud rolled down, blocking the mountain road in front of them. The landslide caused by the spell and the explosion made a deafening sound. They retreated while avoiding the rolling rocks.

"Who are you!" A hooded voice rang in the air, and Elizabeth looked up in horror. She had seen Tom fly without a broom before.

"Wait, that blond man is from the Ministry of Magic, I've seen him in the paper."

"Avada—"

But Claudia moved faster, a red light shot out from her wand, and it precisely hit the hooded Death Eater, another Death Eater roared angrily, and a silver light flew away Coming over, Claudia screamed, Tony hugged her who fell down, and Elizabeth grabbed Tony's arm, firing spells into the air indiscriminately.The Death Eater let out a piercing laugh. "Is that a spell for a slug-stealing three-year-old?"

All three of them fell to the ground, and the Death Eaters' spells seemed to attack them one after another. Tony held Claudia and shot blocking spells into the air, but they were no match for the two dark wizards at all.At this moment, another black shadow swooped out from the woods. It's over, just as Elizabeth was thinking, the new Death Eater quickly knocked Tony down, using his body as a He blocked a bright red spell.

Was this Death Eater under the Confusion Curse?Just as Elizabeth was thinking, her hood slipped down, revealing Ida Woodson's face. Before Elizabeth had time to feel surprised, a dazzling golden light swished out of Ida's wand, and suddenly Knocked down the two Death Eaters who hadn't reacted yet.

"Woodson, you traitor!" one of the Death Eaters yelled as they fell into the woods.

At this time, the road under their feet collapsed, Tony hugged Claudia, Elizabeth held Ada in his hands, and the four of them slid down the gravel slope. Elizabeth picked up the broom that Tony had thrown away and jumped to As we got down, the sky became darker and darker, and Elizabeth couldn't see the two of them at all in the dust.She ran down with difficulty, fell several times, and scraped her knees and arms.

It was getting darker, and she heard Tony's hoarse roar, and she limped in the direction of his voice.

Elizabeth dragged Ada who was already unconscious and walked over. Tony took Ada from Elizabeth and exclaimed. Terrible black liquid came out of her mouth and ears.

"Can you hear me?" Tony said loudly.

Ada nodded weakly, and twitched the corners of her mouth, probably as if smiling at him, but it didn't work.

"How could you be a Death Eater?" Tony asked, "I've never—"

"Tony, Riddle knew that you never followed him sincerely, he always knew." Ada said in a weak voice, "After Riddle returned from Albania, I started to monitor you for him. He threatened me , you know. After arriving in France, he arranged me to work next to you. Although I peeked at your files every day and revealed your whereabouts to Blake and Riddle, I can see you every day. I think Even selling my soul is worth it. You think I'm pathetic, don't you? I'm going to die, but that's okay, if I survive, Riddle will kill me, because I've betrayed him."

Elizabeth, Tony and Claudia all looked at her in shock.Tony was perhaps the most shocked.During those years at Hogwarts, he rarely noticed the ordinary girl next to Elizabeth. He would never have imagined that she would always love him, and was even willing to block a death curse for him.

"I've been in love with you since the first grade." Ada continued, stretching out a weak hand, and gently grabbed the robe on Tony's chest, "After the sorting ceremony, I ran all the way down, I accidentally tripped over the corner of the robe. At that time, a blond boy stretched out his hand and pulled me up, and said to me with a smile, welcome to join Ravenclaw. At that moment, I really felt that I had joined a wise, sincere, Great old school. Tony, that blond boy is you. I was in my first year, wearing my sister's old robe and using my sister's old book. Once I lost my spell book and sat alone Crying on the stairs outside the common room, you found out and went to Lihen Bookstore to mail order a new book for me. Maybe you don't remember at all, because you are so good to everyone, and I am It's so inconspicuous. But Tony, when you gave me the book, I kissed you on the face, and I fell in love with you at that time, why don't you know it until now?"

Speaking of which, Ada seemed to have no strength left.She closed her eyes and gasped for a while, then looked at Elizabeth and said, "Lizzie, you told me on the train that we will definitely go to the same college because we will be good friends for life. Our children will go to Hogwarts together in the future. The Sorting Hat once hesitated to sort me into Hufflepuff, but it saw my persistence. The Sorting Hat also told me: 'Your friends and Loyalty from a lover is destined to make a great Hufflepuff, but in Ravenclaw you will meet the best friends you will never forget'. When I walked to the house table, you stood on the chair and clapped your hands Red. Oh Lizzie, you were always my best friend in school, do you remember the boys we used to talk about in the dorm? You remember the wreath I used to love to make for you Is it? Sometimes I really want to turn back time and let us go back to the time when we were in class together, writing papers, and gossiping. But I know this is impossible. Because of my jealousy and stupidity, I always I mistakenly thought that Tony liked you, I have no time to apologize to you, but I hope you can forgive me..."

"Of course I forgive you," cried Elizabeth, "you silly girl."

Ada had no strength to speak any more, her breath became weaker and weaker, the expression on Tony's face was extremely complicated, he lowered his head, and kissed Ada's forehead lightly.

"Thank you," Tony said, "I'm sorry."

There was a last gleam of light in Ada's eyes, and they closed slowly.

Slowly Tony lowered Ida to the ground, stretched out his wand and dug a deep grave in place.Elizabeth sat next to Claudia, who could no longer walk, and watched him bury Ida in silence.Claudia's leg was seriously injured, and the ivory white robe she was wearing was already stained with a lot of blood.

They were silent for a while, Elizabeth picked up the broomstick on the ground, handed it to Tony, and said, "Take Claudia away quickly."

"And you?" Tony said.

"I'm staying here."

"What the hell are you thinking?!"

Claudia reached out and took Latoni's hand, and said weakly: "Don't...don't get angry with Lizzie. The reason why she came back may be the same reason why I came back to you."

"I'm sorry!" Elizabeth said, "I didn't think that you two would be trapped here because I was also injured... You must take Claudia away immediately. We are now in the low-lying part of the valley. Within Luo's control area, they dare not come over, you just need to walk through the valley, and then leave with a broom, you can leave the Bernard Valley from the south. Be careful not to fly too high."

"You come with us!" Tony growled roughly.

Elizabeth shook her head, showing a firm and pale smile: "I haven't found what I lost yet. Don't worry, I will go home safely."

After speaking, she shook Claudia's hand and said, "Both Estella and Tony need you."

Tony was about to say something more, but Elizabeth turned and limped up the stairs.Tony held Claudia, who was weak and almost unconscious, and stood on the rock looking at her. The black robe on his body was flying up and down in the smoke, and countless expressions flashed across his face - reluctance, sadness, Helpless and hopeless.

"Goodbye, Tony." Elizabeth called out not far away.

"Goodbye, Elizabeth," he said. "Take care!"

Elizabeth turned away, scribbling her back to him and waving.She didn't want him to see the tears in her eyes.Her back quickly disappeared into the increasingly thick darkness.

After the previous round of attacks ended, everything seemed to be quiet again. She didn't know whether the place she was in belonged to the range of the Death Eaters or the range of the Aurors, but she just kept crawling higher in the dark.

The main road had been completely blown up and sealed off, and she groped her way to the highest hill, relying on the impression of the terrain she had left while riding in the woods.She remembered always riding with Claudia through the valley, through a sparse beech forest, and galloping all the way to a flat prairie on the high hills.Overlooking the entire valley on the grassland, the eyes are full of greenery, and you can see the azure harbor on the other side of Monte Carlo, with colorful flags flying and private yachts galloping away in the blue water.She said to Claudia: "Although Tony looks like a dude, he is actually the most responsible person I have ever met. When I was young, I had no family and my temper was very rebellious. Lost tantrums, but I never told him, he was the only one who gave my family warmth during my childhood."

Claudia's blond hair looked soft and charming in the sun. She smiled and said, "Yes, that's right. Many people's hearts and appearances are actually completely different, especially men. It often takes several times to understand a man. Years or even ten years, because they always say what they say, you have to watch their actions, not listen to what he said. I had a particularly bad relationship with my mother when I was a child, and Francis gave me a lot of comfort. Although he seemed He is a strong and indifferent person, but he is a good person who hides his secrets."

Elizabeth kept climbing up in the dark, recalling the conversation between Claudia and her, her sentence "It often takes several years or even ten years to understand a man, because they always say what they say, you have to watch them actions instead of listening to his words" was in her mind for a long time, lingering.Indeed, even if Sylvia told her the secret, she felt that she hadn't seen through Tom so far.

But she knew exactly what she was going to do.When she summoned the Patronus of the arctic fox on the sunny hills, she knew what she had to do.She walked up the hill with both hands and feet. Although the soles of her feet kept slipping, every step she took was so firm.

Although she was tired and hungry, her heart was unexpectedly calm when walking on the dark mountain road.Ada's dying face kept appearing in front of her eyes, and her words echoed in her mind.Memories of the past are always people's most precious treasures, and the love of the past will always accompany her firmly, walking bravely through the slow and dark road of the future.

When she was walking alone in the dark, she inexplicably remembered the melody that Tom sang long ago in the wine cellar of the Stuart Manor:

Oh! How far you are from home

Oh, you're so far from home

Mornieutulie (Darkness has come)

darkness has come

Believe and you will find your way

Believe that you will stick to the creed

Mornie alantie (Darkness has fallen)

Even though the darkness

Apromise lives without you now

But you promise not to forget

Mayitbeshadowscall

May the call of the evil shadow

Will fly away

just fell

May it be your journey on

May your long journey

To light the day

light up the starry sky

This dark valley seems to be her paranoid and thorny life. She will be hurt, she will suffer, and she will regret, but in the end, she is still far away from her sweet hometown, and walks towards the land where darkness descends without hesitation.

Even in the darkness, the stars shine, this is her long journey alone.
