[SSHP] End of life

"May I buy you some Goldigan tea? We made it ourselves." Xenophilius said, pouring out a dark purple liquid like beet juice. "Please sit down and add some sugar."

Harry took the tea, the liquid in the cup giving off a strange smell.He hated himself for not being able to learn both herbalism and potions well. Now he couldn't tell whether this so-called tea could poison them with the steam it gave off, and wondered if Hermione had bezoar.Seeing that Hermione had no other special indications, he also held the cup between his hands.Although I don't plan to drink it, it's good to warm my hands.

"Then how can I help you, Mr. Potter?" Xenophilius moved a stack of old newspapers off the armchair and sat across from them.He crossed one leg and put it down quickly, and in the brief moment Harry noticed his knee was covered in bruises and scrapes.

Harry frowned secretly.

"About the logo, actually," said Hermione, pulling out her book and pointing to the page with the logo on it. "Harry said he saw you wearing it at Bill and Fleur's wedding. We want to know about it." has no meaning."

"You mean the symbol of the Deathly Hallows?" Xenophilius looked at the book in Hermione's hand.

"Deathly Hallows?" Harry couldn't help interjecting, "but Krum said it was Grindelwald's mark."

"I'm not surprised that you haven't heard of this sign," Xenophilius said. "Young people always refuse to read more books and understand the world from a deeper perspective. This is not the sign of a dark wizard. , at least not in that humble sense. People just use the symbol to show themselves to other believers, hoping to get help in their quest."

believer?The term sounds dark enough.

"I'm sorry, I don't quite get it," Harry said. "What believers? What are they looking for? Are there still many people doing the same thing?"

"Deathly Hallows," Xenophilius said. "The faithful are looking for the Deathly Hallows. I assume you are all familiar with The Tale of the Three Brothers?" Although he asked, it seemed that he didn't ask at all. meaning, but to tell the story from the beginning.Neither Harry nor Hermione interrupted him, but in truth Xenophilius told little more than what was in the book, except for a few details.

"What we saw was similar to what you described, except that you described it in more detail." Harry replied truthfully, he had read this little story in Grimmauld Place, and Hermione also had it in the book of stories, Deathly Hallows The sign was painted just above the title of that story, "But it's just a fairy tale, does anyone really believe in such a thing?"

"There are many times when the truth is buried in irrelevant legends." Xenophilius said seriously, he did not seem to be joking at all, "If you want to hide a piece of history, you will put about it The record is trying its best to find and destroy it, or will it be compiled into a legend that even children know? Destruction can never prevent the spread of secrets, and countless records in history prove this. However, because it is a legend, So people don't believe it. But often it's true."

Harry shrugged. "So you believe in the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Invisibility Cloak?"

Hermione glanced at Harry.

Harry smiled back.They had one of the Invisibility Cloaks, but he didn't think it was enough to prevent death.Death is invisible, it always comes from multiple aspects, and no one can escape.

"Of course I do. How could you not have noticed whether you have attended your classes well? The bloody traces of the Elder Wand are all over the history of magic!"

History of Magic is also one of the subjects Harry is not good at.In fact he wasn't good at anything but Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts.He glanced at Hermione, who didn't contradict what Xenophilius had said.

"I seem to have read related records." After a while, Hermione thought slowly and said, "Antioch, Ignotus, and... I can't remember."

"Exactly, girl. That's not an extension of the fairy tale, it's true. In fact, Ignotus Peverell was the original owner of the Elder Wand. His tombstone is still in Godric's Hollow Woolen cloth."

Godric's Hollow.Hearing this name, Harry's heart seemed to be pulled by someone.Godric Gryffindor, founder of Gryffindor House, the valley is named after him.Deathly Hallows, Godric's Hollow, Gryffindor's Sword - Dumbledore must have meant to use the Deathly Hallows symbol to remind them of Godric's Hollow, where Gryffindor originated, where he hid the sword in there!

He stood up impulsively and tugged at Hermione's sleeve: "Thank you, Mr. Lovegood. I think we should go—"

"Harry!" Hermione exclaimed dissatisfied, her face was full of complaints about not being able to ask for more detailed knowledge.

"No! You can't go!" Xenophilius' face turned pale in an instant, and after a few seconds, he seemed to realize that he had overreacted, smiled and eased his tone, "I haven't finished talking about death yet. Other stories about the Hallows." He said, pressing Harry's shoulder involuntarily, and took out a bottle of ink from the side, and drew on the paper.

"First the triangle, which is the Invisibility Cloak. Next the circle, which is the Resurrection Stone. Finally, the vertical line, which is the Elder Wand. Only the Elder Wand of all history is easier to trace, because to gain its allegiance, only Can pass and defeat its previous owner." He kept talking, looking out the window very nervously, "You must have heard many legends, the evil Egbert..."

"We can't bother you any longer, Mr. Lovegood, and thank you for telling us about the sign," said Harry, looking into Xenophilius' face critically. "If we stay here too long , may bring you danger."

"No, I don't mind. No one has been here for a long time, let's have lunch together." Xenophilius said, standing up without refusing, "I'm going to prepare some materials, please wait upstairs for a while meeting."

"I thought he didn't welcome us, the way he looked when we first walked in." Harry shrugged, tried to get up, but sat down again.

"He's always supported you, hasn't he? You shouldn't insist on refusing an elder's kindness." Hermione said so, but she frowned slightly, "But... I always feel that there is something else wrong. He is so Of course we were welcome, but I always felt like he was trying to keep us from leaving."

"That's right." Harry sneered, he was facing the window, and several black figures on broomsticks streaked across the sky, "Here they come."

Hermione looked confused, but she didn't ask any questions, and quickly pulled out her wand with Harry.There was a loud bang downstairs, probably because the door was roughly knocked open.

"Didn't I tell you not to worry, Travers? This madman must be talking nonsense again! I don't know why we have to come here, every time!"

Harry put his fingers up to cover his lips.Compared with the calm Harry, Hermione looked shocked and angry. She and Harry were alone, hiding at the head of the stairs.They looked at each other and shook their heads to signal each other not to look down.

"Potter is upstairs!" Xenophilius' voice seemed to be choking with pain.

"Go up and see, Selwyn," said a calm voice. "If he's talking nonsense again, we're going to do something about it."

Harry pointed his wand at a cabinet under the stairs.The cabinet was tall, and without showing his head and hands, he could hit the top half of it perfectly.

"Fractured!"

The cabinet exploded.Something extraordinary seemed to be contained in the ordinary-looking cabinet, and the explosion was unusually violent.Splinters of wood, glass, and gravel slammed and thumped like bullets.Thick white dust fell from the ceiling, and the sound of coughing and spells downstairs rang out.

"Potter's upstairs? You lying bastard! I guess you're calling us here to blow us all up!" yelled furiously, followed by Xenophilius' scream.

"Potter—Potter's upstairs!" Xenophilius yelled, with a clatter as he seemed to be wrenching himself free from under the debris of something. "He's upstairs! Luna, please put the My Luna..."

With a twitch in Harry's mind, he poked his head halfway down the stairs. The Death Eaters seemed to be busy punishing Xenophilius and cleaning themselves up, and no one paid attention to the upstairs.

"Stupid!" he yelled, as the cursed light shot past a Death Eater's head, "Disarm!"

"Maybe it's Potter!" shouted a Death Eater. "Standard Potter spells!"

"You can have your daughter back, Lovegood. If you go and bring Potter down from above," said the calm voice. "If you fail to bring him down, you know best what will happen."

Harry held out his hand, motioning Hermione not to move.He took a step back and rolled forward quickly onto Hermione's side, deliberately exposing his face in the middle.Two streaks of green light brushed his body and hit the printing press behind him.

"All I have left is Luna! They took Luna away! I can't live without Luna, she's all I have!" Xenophilius staggered up the stairs, his long hair tangled and looking crazy And shocking.Harry looked at Xenophilius, his face and hands exposed to the landing were bloodless, as white as paper.

It was a face full of guilt and unbearable pain, even if it burst into tears suddenly, it was not surprising.At that moment, several images seemed to overlap with his face shaking.

"Forget it all." Harry whispered, pointing at Xenophilius.Before he passed out, Xenophilius was still struggling to reach out his hands to catch Harry. He fell on the stairs, half of his body was on the second floor, and Harry stared at him for a few seconds.

He pulled out the Invisibility Cloak and put it on Hermione, held Hermione's hand tightly, pulled her as far away from Xenophilius as possible, and pointed his wand at the wall.

"Bones to pieces!" he roared, blasting a big hole in the wall.He leaped out of the hole, dragging Hermione, and the Death Eaters in the kitchen turned their wands, which had been pointed at the landing, on them in amazement.But Harry spun in the air, and the last thing he saw were a few streaks of green light shooting at them before he sank into darkness.

The author has something to say: I have never been able to write a summary of the content, saying that I am really happy to skin it~~~~

In the original book, Cheno is more firm, and he didn’t say so much about betraying Harry. I don’t think he’s that crazy. He belongs to the kind of...artist?Very stubborn and super awesome scholar type.What I'm focusing on here is a very kind father image who can break through the bottom line for his daughter, and add a strong material to Xiaoha's psychological breakdown.If he hadn't collapsed and was always so determined to save the world, I wouldn't be able to write this article.laugh.
