dumb wizard

The next day was August 8th, Lucius came to Snape's house through the Floo network, Snape and Xiu were waiting in the living room while reading a book, and there was fragrant Pu'er tea on the table.

Seeing him coming, Snape closed the book in his hand, patted Xiu on the shoulder, "Let's go." Xiu put the two books on the bookshelf.

Lucius raised his eyebrows slightly at Snape, "Severus, you are not going to tell me that you are going to take Mr. White with you?" This is not like Snape's style.

"What? Can't you?" Snape asked back, and Xiu walked over to him.Lucius frowned, "Severus, this is very dangerous, Mr. White doesn't have enough self-protection ability."

"I will protect him." Snape said flatly, "It's time to go." The platinum nobleman pursed his beautiful thin lips and said nothing more.

The three of them Apparated to Little Hangleton, and Xiu fought back the urge to vomit, not wanting Snape to worry about him.A bottle of bright blue potion was brought to his lips, Xiu turned his head to look, Snape pursed his lips, and did not look at him.Xiu took it and drank it down, and the feeling of nausea quickly disappeared.

Gaunt's old house is located on a hill and looks dilapidated.The three walked up the weedy path, and soon the whole picture of Gaunt's old house came into view.

The house is not very big, gloomy, and has a creepy feeling. The crooked door is dirty, the doorknob is crumbling, and a shriveled dead snake is hanging on it.The snake's eyes were open, dark green, and its head was facing their direction, as if staring at them.

The chef's habitual thinking made Xiu start to think about a hundred ways to prepare snakes. The snake soup is very nourishing, and I don't know if Sev would like to eat it.But Slytherin's symbol is a snake, which seems too disrespectful.

Snape and Lucius carefully observed the surroundings, one detection spell after another was used, as expected, there were indeed several defensive spells and warning spells around, whether it was left by the Dark Lord or the great White Wizard Albus Dumbledore.

After removing those warning spells, Snape checked again carefully, and after confirming that there were no other spells, he turned his gaze to the tightly closed old door.

Lucius took a look at him, held his wand warily, and stepped forward, "Alahoh hole is open!" There was no movement at the door, it must have been cursed backwards.Lucius threw a detection spell on the door, and sure enough there was a wave of magic, but fortunately there was no attack magic.He stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door, which creaked open without even locking it.

The room was dirty and messy, dust was flying all over the sky due to the sudden movement of air, Hugh felt his nose itchy behind Snape and wanted to sneeze.

Lucius already frowned, for a Malfoy who regards appearance as his life, such mess is unbearable!

Snape wasn't badly adapted to this environment - he had lived in a house not much different from this for several years, cast a dozen detection spells on the house, and dispelled two warning spells and one attack spell.

The original book did not explain the specific location of the ring, only that it was in Gunter's old house.Snape used special detection magic, and after more than ten minutes, a faint wave of black magic finally came from under a floor in the center of the room.

Snape and Lucius looked at each other, Snape turned his head and said to Xiu, "Stand back, Xiu, be careful." Xiu nodded and stepped back obediently, keeping his eyes on his lover for a moment.

Lucius cast several detection spells on the floor tile that was emitting black magic fluctuations. The floor tile itself does not have any warning spells. It seems that the Dark Lord is very confident in the black magic on the ring.

Lucius stepped forward, squatted down, and slowly lifted the floor tile.Snape also walked up, looking warily at the things under the floor tiles.

There was just a dark ring under the floor tiles, and there wasn't even a rudimentary box to hold it.There is a black, inconspicuous stone inlaid on the ring. It is the legendary soul-returning stone, which is said to bring the dead back to life.

Lucius used a Flying Charm and a Levitating Charm without a sound and a wand, but as expected, the ring didn't respond.He reached for it, but Snape stopped him, "Lucius Malfoy, have your head been eaten by a troll so that you can't feel the evil black magic on it? How dare you go so rashly?" take!"

Lucius raised his eyebrows, "Severus, of course I know it's dangerous, but you've seen it too, you can only hold it with your hands, can't you?" Snape frowned, "Get out of the way, I'll take it. "

"Severus, do you want me to stand by and watch my friend take risks?" Lucius said dissatisfiedly, frowning.Snape raised his eyebrows, "Of course not. You need to stop me when I'm about to put on the ring. Also, protect it and fix it."

Lucius looked at him intently, Snape didn't back down, and in the end he could only compromise, "Well, since you insist." He took a few steps back in Xiu's direction.

Snape turned to look at Xiu, his little lover looked worried, but the amber cat eyes were full of support and trust for him.He feels at ease.

Snape reached for the black ring, and the scene changed in an instant.

He saw himself sitting on a throne symbolizing absolute power, overlooking all living beings, aloof, decisive, and controlling the fate of everyone.

Snape snorted coldly, this kind of temptation is simply ridiculous!But he didn't take it lightly, he knew that this was just the initial temptation of the soul piece in the ring.

The scene changed again, surrounded by countless money and beauties, Snape was even more disdainful, and didn't even take a second look.

Then he felt an irresistible force probing his heart, and after a few seconds, countless precious potion ingredients and lost potion books appeared before his eyes.Snape sneered, finally getting a little level.

Soul Piece seemed to feel his contempt, and angrily increased the power of the invasion.Snape's eyes went dark, a gust of wind blew past, and there was ruins not far away. He stumbled over and walked over. The beautiful red-haired girl fell on the ruins, her bright green eyes were tightly closed, silently.

Snape's heart clenched violently, Lily!

A seductive voice came into my head, "What a beautiful girl! What a pity to die like this. Do you want her to come back to life? Do you want her to open her eyes again? Put this ring on! Just wear Get on it, and you can revive this girl!"

Snape's eyes were a little distracted, and a thought echoed in his mind: as long as he puts on the ring, as long as he wears the ring, Lily can come back to life, come back to life...

He raised his hand slowly, the ring almost touching his fingertips.

No!No!Lily is dead!The dead cannot be resurrected!It is impossible to revive no matter what you do!She is dead!

Snape withdrew his hand abruptly, clutching the ring tightly in his palm, his expression became firm.

The image in front of me disappeared instantly and became brighter.Then he saw a white building with a small courtyard, and as if something was calling in his heart, he walked towards that house.

He pushed open the white fence door, walked in, and saw Xiu sitting in front of the blue-gray stone table.Xiu looked a little older than he knew, seventeen or eighteen years old, his immature and excessive beauty faded away, revealing a kind of gentle heroism.

He was sitting at the table reading a book with calm eyes.Snape was about to go up to call him, but saw the door of the house behind him open, and a man in black clothes and black hair came out.Snape frowned slightly, this should be him a few years later, he hasn't changed much, but he seems to be healthier and ruddy than the current him.

The man came over and hugged Xiu who was reading a book, and they exchanged sweet kisses.Immediately afterwards, another person walked out of the house. It was a child, probably only two or three years old, and he walked unsteadily.The man let go of his lover whose eyes were moistened by the kiss, and walked over to pick up the child.

The kid was adorable with his black hair and sculpted amber cat eyes.Snape heard him call his future self "Father" and his future Xiu "Daddy" in a childish voice.

The sun was shining, and everything looked so beautiful and happy that he couldn't believe it.

The seductive voice appeared in his mind again, "Ah, they look so happy! Are you envious and longing for such happiness? Put on this ring, it will make all this beautiful Make it real. Wouldn’t it be great that you’d have a tender partner and adorable kids? Put on a ring and you’ll have it all!”

Snape frowned in pain, trembling all over his body, trying his best to resist this temptation.

"Don't you want it? Think about it, your tender and beautiful little lover will be your life partner, and you will have one, oh, even more children, combining your features, black hair and amber eyes, or light brown hair and black eyes! How lovely they are. They'll call you father, and you'll have a wonderful family."

The voice was so seductive that Snape was shaken even more.

A home, a home with him, Xiu, and their children.

"Put on the ring! As long as you wear it, you can get a beautiful home, and everything you want will be at your fingertips, so why hesitate?"

Yes, what is there to hesitate?

Snape slowly let go of his clenched hands, the black ring in the center of the staff exuded a strange red light.

He felt a surge of excitement and triumph in his heart.

Snape sneered suddenly, his eyes were full of determination, and he tightly squeezed the ring in his hand.

ridiculous!A gentle and beautiful partner, a cute child, a warm family, his little lover will fulfill all of his wishes, what else do you need this ring for!

The power that had invaded his mind was driven out, Snape's mood also became stable, and the illusion in front of him disappeared without a trace.He took a few quick steps and left the room, followed by Lucius and Xiu.

"Severus!" Lucius called him worriedly, his forehead covered with cold sweat, standing two steps away from him and looked at him worriedly, looking more nervous than Snape who had just experienced the baptism of black magic .

Snape curled his lips at him, signaling that he was fine. "Lucius, the box!" Lucius on the side quickly handed over a mithril box, and Snape put the Resurrection Stone Ring in it and closed the box.

Xiu lost his worries, walked up quickly, carefully checked whether Snape was injured up and down, and dared not touch him with his hand, for fear of accidentally getting his wound.

Snape put his hands on himself, "I'm not injured, don't worry." Xiu's tense nerves finally relaxed, his feet went limp, and he almost fell down, Snape hurriedly supported him.

terrible!Just now when he saw Snape almost putting the ring on, his heart almost stopped, and he almost rushed to stop him, but fortunately Snape stopped soon.

After getting the ring from the Gaunt family, the three quickly apparated away to avoid being discovered by Dumbledore.After all, the title of the greatest white wizard is not false, and no one knows whether Dumbledore has other means to know what happened here.

The ring was destroyed in the secret black magic practice room in Malfoy Manor, without any accident, the most dangerous thing about this ring is the temptation magic.
