[HP] Elena must be a genius
Chapter 76 Staring
"...Professor Snape. I'm sorry, but I won't do anything to trouble you in the future."
Snape moved his eyes listening to Elene's unreal voice under the blanket.
"I hope you do what you say."
Listening to his emotionless reply, Yi Renee wiped her tears silently.
Snape watched her movements, his expression gradually changed back to a blank expression, and he left the school hospital.
When he returned to the cellar, he sat in his seat and meditated for a moment, opened the drawer, picked up a slightly withered lily from it, put it on his desk, and closed his eyes.
Elene's fever was intermittent, and she didn't get better until the fifth day.Madam Pomfrey was already a little anxious, and Irene would be given some fever-reducing medicine by her every day.Fortunately, she didn't stay in a coma this time.
"Get well soon, Nina."
Elene smiled at the worried Hermione, she felt much better, and her mind was not as groggy as it was a few days ago, and the fever subsided by noon.
"Go and rest Hermione, I'll be better soon."
Irene watched her leave the school hospital and let out a sigh of relief.It's just a lovelorn, no, I haven't even been in love, I can't be so depressed, and her friends need my love.
When Snape came in again with the stabilizer, Elene didn't avoid him anymore, and drank it calmly under his gaze.
Snape watched her frown on his smiling face, and left the school hospital with the medicine bottle without saying a word.
Yi Renee was lying on the bed and counting the grids on the ceiling of the school hospital. Although she had done this thing countless times in the past five years, she still did it tirelessly. It was still difficult to wake up at night.
There was a gust of wind blowing in from outside the door, Yi Renee blinked and pulled up the quilt.
Who was the last person to go out?Like Snape.
Yi Renee frowned and thought about it, then sighed and slowly got out of bed to close the door.
"!"
Irene was taken aback by the person standing outside the door and patted herself on the chest after seeing that it was Harry.
"Harry... what are you doing in the school hospital so late?" Irene frowned when she saw that he was not wearing an invisibility cloak.I have only myself in the school hospital these days, and the side effects of Fred and George's skipping class sugar will only work for half a day.
"...Irene. If you are unhappy, let's explore the Forbidden Forest."
Listening to his calm voice, Irene looked him up and down suspiciously.
I wear glasses, my eyes are calm, and my clothes are neatly dressed, but I always feel that something is wrong when I come to take a patient to the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night.
"Did Fred and George give you their experimental products again? The side effects of their experimental products are so serious that you can't eat them indiscriminately—" Before she finished speaking, she was dragged away from the school hospital by him .
Elena appeared behind them frowning, and followed them closely.
"Let go of Harry—I'm not wearing a robe—" Irene gritted her teeth and tried to grab his hand on her wrist, finding herself too weak from illness and his hand was very strong.Thinking that she didn't even bring a wand, Elene turned pale.
"He is under the influence of Voldemort, stop him now."
She froze when she heard Elena's warning behind her, why Voldemort asked Harry to take him to the Forbidden Forest.
When she was about to move the stairs, Yi Renee looked up to the empty space on the eighth floor.If he makes a noise here, Harry's state will definitely be discovered by Umbridge, and maybe he will seize this opportunity to let him drop out of school...
Yi Renee grabbed the handle of the moving stairs on the first floor and frowned, staring at his expressionless expression. After a while, she relaxed her expression.
"Harry, I'll go back first—" She frantically imagined in her mind how to let Dumbledore know Harry's current state.
"Irene. I didn't eat anything wrong."
Irene stared blankly at Harry who was smiling at her, a chill rose from the bottom of her heart.
She was talking face to face with Voldemort. 'Take a chance to get his wand, don't just stun him. 'Irene nodded slightly after hearing what Irene said.
Before he could think of what to do, Harry took him into his arms and hid him in the shadows.Elene watched Filch and Mrs. Norris passing by from a distance, and finally couldn't help shaking.
How could he perceive them so far away?
"……What are you doing."
Elene's eyes blurred when she heard Snape's cold voice, it turned out that it wasn't Filch who was hiding but Snape.
Snape sent the stabilizer to Elene and watched her drink it, then went back to the cellar and began to watch the night.When I patrolled from the eighth floor to the second floor, I saw the open door of the school hospital.He frowned and looked inside and found that the only resident of the school hospital was not there.
He went down with a dark face and was about to look for the uneasy little badger just in time to see Potter taking her into his arms and hiding in the shadows.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a tender show, disgustingly I want to—" Snape couldn't help but sarcastically staring at Harry's hand on Irene's waist, before he finished speaking. See Yi Renee bumped into her arms.
He felt Yi Renee's trembling and frowned.
"Professor Snape, lend me your wand..." He heard Elene in his arms whispering in his ear, noticed something frowning and turned his eyes to Harry.
He was still standing in the shadows with his head bowed.
"'Deformation Appearance'!"
Irene snatched his wand and turned her head. According to Irene's statement, she cast a spell on Harry to confuse Voldemort. Seeing that he didn't respond, she knocked him down in a daze.
"..." Elene returned the wand to Snape and couldn't help but hug him again.She was just too scared.
Facing Voldemort directly, she couldn't reveal any flaws, she couldn't reveal any idea that Harry was his Horcrux in front of him, she couldn't harm Harry.
"...Let go." Elene hugged Snape tighter when she heard Snape's gnashing of teeth.Only in this way can she truly realize that she is standing here.She couldn't contain her fear at the thought that Snape might still die at the hands of Voldemort in the future.Desserts are nothing, if he is alive now, she is willing to let him drop hundreds or thousands of snack boxes.
"...Harry, he is possessed by the Dark Lord..." Snape was stunned hearing Irene's crying in his arms, seeing that she was still trembling uncontrollably, he subconsciously cast a warming spell on her.
Feeling the warmth around him, Yi Renee hugged him even tighter.
"..."
Snape was a little annoyed at his subconscious actions.
Elene followed Snape to move the unconscious Harry from the first floor to the principal's office on the eighth floor.
Dumbledore was sitting at the headmaster's desk in his purple star nightgown, writing a letter.Hearing the knock of the door, he looked out and saw the red-eyed Elene and the dark-faced Snape leading the comatose Harry Potter in.
"What happened?" Dumbledore folded the letter and put it aside and got up to check Harry's unconscious state.
"...Harry he just grabbed me to go to the Forbidden Forest - Voldemort's thoughts are affecting him."
Elena stared at Harry who was still asleep with a cold face under Elena.
"Have you been discovered by him just now?" Dumbledore hesitated for a moment, raised his head and saw Elene shaking his head, then fell silent.
A moment later Fawkes flew in through the open window and honked, and Dumbledore stroked its glowing red feathers.
"There are no abnormalities in the Forbidden Forest."
Elena frowned when she heard his reply. How could Voldemort take the risk of being discovered by Dumbledore to bring himself into the Forbidden Forest without any abnormalities?
Snape stood aside with a stiff face. Dumbledore's attitude and Irene's appearance clearly showed that Dumbledore knew about Irene's existence, so the abnormality that he had been hiding from Dumbledore before was also there. Dumbledore's default...
He was still thinking when he saw Dumbledore and Irene staring back at him.
"...Severus..." Dumbledore's piercing blue eyes fixed into his empty ones, "...didn't you just—"
"Tsk." Hearing Elena's cold interruption, Dumbledore understood and did not continue. 'what are you guys saying……'
Yi Renee became confused watching their riddle interaction.Just now, I just hugged Snape...'...'
It was really a good plan, using a thought intrusion to almost find out whether Elene is the prophet, understand the connection between Harry and him, and even almost verify Snape's loyalty.
Is this really the Voldemort who split seven of himself and caused his behavior to be confused?
Fortunately, she didn't do anything more outrageous just now...
Snape thought about it too, frowning and rubbing his wand.
"I'll take care of her."
Elena retracted her gaze and said to Dumbledore indifferently.
After staring at Snape, Dumbledore continued to stare at the expressionless Elena, pondering for a moment and said, "...Maybe sometimes it's better to let nature take its course."
Seeing Elena turning her head to stare at him, he smiled at her, and turned his gaze to Harry who was still asleep.
Harry woke up dazed.
"...Irene, Irene is okay—" He suddenly sat up and looked around, and he was relieved when he saw Irene standing beside Dumbledore with a cold face.Gritting his teeth, he touched his scar.
He just woke up when he was pulling Irene down the stairs.But no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from the invisible shackles. He could only watch helplessly as he dragged Elene to the Forbidden Forest. He also saw himself avoiding Snape strangely, and Elene ran into it...
Harry looked at the expressionless Snape, who paled.
Seeing him awake, Dumbledore turned his gaze to Elena.
"Does he know about you?"
Elena glanced at Harry's pale face and slowly frowned. Prophecy?She didn't quite know that Yi Renee said something when she was drunk for the first time.She was also drunk the second time and can't remember.
"...What's the matter?" Harry looked at Elena who was staring at him with a pale face. "If it's about Elena, I know we both know—"
"They don't know much." Harry closed his mouth at her indifferent voice.Don't they know much?
"...We can't wait any longer, Severus." Snape frowned when he heard Dumbledore's words. He vaguely understood something, but there was still a fog in front of him, and he couldn't figure it out.
"...I need to know the details." Seeing the suspicion in his eyes, Dumbledore opened his mouth and looked at Elena who was still silent.
"...Harry, you go back first."
Dumbledore lifted Boot from the table and watched it jump on Harry's shoulder before turning to Snape as he watched them leave.
"...on the night Voldemort tried to kill him, Lily used an ancient spell to deflect the Killing Curse back on Voldemort. A part of him lived inside Harry and could connect minds. We don't know what happened tonight. I don't know if he understands this, but we know that he can connect Harry's mind in reverse—" Dumbledore paused and looked at Snape's shocked expression, "As long as this soul fragment is still on him, With Harry's protection, Voldemort will not die."
"...Then, he must die?"
Elena stood beside Dumbledore and listened to their conversation silently with a cold face.
There was a long silence, and Dumbledore's eyes wandered to the silent Elena.
"Yes. And it must be done by Voldemort himself."
Hearing Elene's cold voice, Snape stared at her sharply.
"...Then how do you know?"
"...she is the Prophet, Severus." Dumbledore sighed and paced a few steps to block Elena from Snape's gaze on her.
"who is she?"
Snape saw Dumbledore fall silent and looked at himself frowning mildly.
"...you already knew...I was a spy for you, weaved lies for you, risked death for you, you said all this was for the safety of Lily Potter's son, but now you tell me, you Raising him like a pig waiting to be slaughtered?"
Elene drifted away from them and listened to Snape's frightened anger.It was the first time she had seen him lose his composure in several years.
"Are you really starting to like that boy?"
"……like him?"
Elena watched as he waved his wand, and a silver doe hopped a few steps on the floor and turned to watch them pass through the window.
"Lily..."
Dumbledore looked at the Patronus with tears in his eyes.
"It's been like this for so long?" 'It's always been like this. '
"……always like this."
Listening to what Elena said to herself in her heart, Elena slowly sat down and covered her face, she understood what it meant.
Elena closed her eyes and handed over control of her body to Elena, left her body, and floated into the air to watch them.Snape had already retracted his wand and didn't know what he was thinking.
"...Don't worry about Professor Snape, Harry won't die...Professor Dumbledore, can I go back and rest first?"
Dumbledore was stunned when he heard Irene's no longer cold voice behind him.Snape frowned when he heard her resolute words.
"...Wait, kid." Dumbledore called to stop her walking out the door covering her face. "...The next thing is about you."
"...your father came to me during the summer vacation three years ago and explained your... to me." Dumbledore watched her trembling and sighed. "Your mother obviously didn't intend for you to have any part in this, and it's clear you're innocent."
"...A person who is possessed by the prophecy, do you think she will stay out of it?" Dumbledore paused for a moment when he heard Snape's angry tone suppressed, and continued, "She will keep everything including those things." Take it upon yourself, Voldemort is staring at her now, so she won't be coming back. It's clear from tonight that Voldemort has his eye on you. We all want you to... live..."
Snape frowned at the end, live?
Irene wiped away her tears listening to Dumbledore's last few words. It turned out that Leona had indeed abandoned herself in order to escape from Voldemort's eyes.
"...I want to apologize to you..." Dumbledore walked slowly to her and hugged her crying into his arms. "...Son, if I hadn't coerced your parents into bringing you to England, you wouldn't have encountered these things..."
Dumbledore patted her trembling shoulder, his expression darkened.It wasn't until Xi Ke told him the truth about Leona's Horcrux making that he realized how many innocent people he had hurt by studying Voldemort's Horcrux.
Elena floated in the air and listened to his words with a blank expression. A hint of understanding flashed through her eyes. Dumbledore didn't know that she was a visitor from another world. He only thought that she was a natural prophet and a person who made a Horcrux. Parents are still hiding something.
"...I think even if that incident hadn't happened, I would have come to Hogwarts. After all, this is the best wizarding school in the world."
Yi Renee sniffed and tried to smile at him with tears in her eyes.
"Put away that diary of yours and don't let Voldemort get it." Listening to Dumbledore's whisper in her ear, Elene nodded and left the principal's room without looking at Snape again.
"……you do not trust me."
Dumbledore turned his head and smiled at him when he heard his sarcasm.
"You always knew she was accompanied by a seer."
"These are her private affairs, and I wouldn't know about them if Sickle hadn't voluntarily told me. Besides," Dumbledore's sharp blue eyes paused. "I thought you knew—" He remembered how Snape had kept the Resurrection Stone from him long ago.
"Know what! Know that one of the two children I've been protecting is a pig waiting to be slaughtered, and the other is a perennially dangerous container possessed by others?"
If Harry was already furious at having to risk death in the end, now that Voldemort's gaze on Elene broke his last string, he couldn't hold back his fear, ever since they entered school, Yi Renee has always been the one who was the most injured. From the passive wrist slitting in the first grade to the almost death in the third grade, he understood that the god of death seemed to be watching her all the time.And the cause of this death may be Voldemort.
"... container?" Snape frowned when he saw Dumbledore turning around in surprise.
"It's not a container. You forced her parents to keep her on the verge of death because of the prophecy spoken by the unknown prophet—"
"You seem to value her more than Harry, Severus."
Snape's face flushed as if his neck was strangled.
"...you have seen my Patronus—"
"I didn't say what kind of value it is, Severus." Dumbledore raised his glasses and looked through the lenses to see Snape's face stiffen for a moment, and his angry eyes became hollow again.
"...We all know it's impossible." Snape closed his eyes, he was so angry that he completely lost his usual composure and was caught in a loophole in front of Dumbledore.
He'd been aware of his problem since the first time Elene got drunk.Whether it's the puppet left secretly or he doesn't want to be alone in the room with her anymore, he asks different students to give her potions to find out who she has a crush on, he can feel that she is different in his heart...
When Yi Renee was drunk again and said those words that shocked him, he could find out whether those words were drunk words or not from her behavior afterwards.Some hidden corners in his heart couldn't help but jump, but he couldn't.
The dessert was too sweet and so satisfying, he couldn't accept it and was afraid to accept it.
The path he has taken is a path that cannot be turned back. He can no longer implicate anyone he cares about, even just a little bit.Every faltering night he would summon his patron saint, and he could only feel at ease by looking at the doe.
And this different starting point... Snape opened his eyes and stared at Dumbledore.If he hadn't let himself protect her, he wouldn't have been paying attention to her; if he hadn't let her come to England, he wouldn't have met her; if he hadn't—
"I do believe that anything is possible."
Dumbledore interrupted his thoughts and looked at him mildly.
"Severus, we have to start teaching them Occlumency, especially that kid."
"...Well, it depends on whether Potter's talent can be learned, but in my opinion—" Snape subconsciously referred to the child as Harry.
"...It's not Harry, it's Elene. Voldemort has already set her sights on her, we can't take the risk of letting him get the real prophecy." Dumbledore looked at Snape's astonished expression and pulled at him with a wry smile Mouth.
"... Her mother didn't teach her?"
"They never took her soul out."
After Yi Renee came out of the principal's office, she went downstairs in a daze and went back to the school hospital to lie down again.
"...you already knew...but you didn't tell me..." Irene didn't wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"I told you not to fall in love with him. Don't go near him."
Yi Renee stared at the grid on the ceiling and wondered why she fell in love with a man who was so many years younger than herself who loved someone else in his heart.
"Did you really fall in love with him without any other distracting thoughts?"
"Are you sure this love has not been affected by the previous life?"
Yi Renee closed her eyes sadly listening to her calm words.She couldn't deny that her liking for Snape did have a very high foundation. Since the first grade, she had disagreed with Hermione and the others on Snape many times.
But... In her heart, Snape was indeed different, and she was also excited by Snape's attitude towards herself sometimes being different from other people. She was confused and couldn't realize when she started to like him of.
Maybe it's the more or less companionship after each dangerous moment, maybe it's the warmth that is different from his usual indifferent appearance every time I stick to him and hug him, or maybe it's the influence of my previous emotions...
It wasn't fair to the Snape she knew.
She decided to let go of the question of whether he would like her first, and first think about whether she is qualified to say the word "love him".
The author has something to say:
Do you want to see sweetness?If I want to, I'll make a new episode first?
Snape moved his eyes listening to Elene's unreal voice under the blanket.
"I hope you do what you say."
Listening to his emotionless reply, Yi Renee wiped her tears silently.
Snape watched her movements, his expression gradually changed back to a blank expression, and he left the school hospital.
When he returned to the cellar, he sat in his seat and meditated for a moment, opened the drawer, picked up a slightly withered lily from it, put it on his desk, and closed his eyes.
Elene's fever was intermittent, and she didn't get better until the fifth day.Madam Pomfrey was already a little anxious, and Irene would be given some fever-reducing medicine by her every day.Fortunately, she didn't stay in a coma this time.
"Get well soon, Nina."
Elene smiled at the worried Hermione, she felt much better, and her mind was not as groggy as it was a few days ago, and the fever subsided by noon.
"Go and rest Hermione, I'll be better soon."
Irene watched her leave the school hospital and let out a sigh of relief.It's just a lovelorn, no, I haven't even been in love, I can't be so depressed, and her friends need my love.
When Snape came in again with the stabilizer, Elene didn't avoid him anymore, and drank it calmly under his gaze.
Snape watched her frown on his smiling face, and left the school hospital with the medicine bottle without saying a word.
Yi Renee was lying on the bed and counting the grids on the ceiling of the school hospital. Although she had done this thing countless times in the past five years, she still did it tirelessly. It was still difficult to wake up at night.
There was a gust of wind blowing in from outside the door, Yi Renee blinked and pulled up the quilt.
Who was the last person to go out?Like Snape.
Yi Renee frowned and thought about it, then sighed and slowly got out of bed to close the door.
"!"
Irene was taken aback by the person standing outside the door and patted herself on the chest after seeing that it was Harry.
"Harry... what are you doing in the school hospital so late?" Irene frowned when she saw that he was not wearing an invisibility cloak.I have only myself in the school hospital these days, and the side effects of Fred and George's skipping class sugar will only work for half a day.
"...Irene. If you are unhappy, let's explore the Forbidden Forest."
Listening to his calm voice, Irene looked him up and down suspiciously.
I wear glasses, my eyes are calm, and my clothes are neatly dressed, but I always feel that something is wrong when I come to take a patient to the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night.
"Did Fred and George give you their experimental products again? The side effects of their experimental products are so serious that you can't eat them indiscriminately—" Before she finished speaking, she was dragged away from the school hospital by him .
Elena appeared behind them frowning, and followed them closely.
"Let go of Harry—I'm not wearing a robe—" Irene gritted her teeth and tried to grab his hand on her wrist, finding herself too weak from illness and his hand was very strong.Thinking that she didn't even bring a wand, Elene turned pale.
"He is under the influence of Voldemort, stop him now."
She froze when she heard Elena's warning behind her, why Voldemort asked Harry to take him to the Forbidden Forest.
When she was about to move the stairs, Yi Renee looked up to the empty space on the eighth floor.If he makes a noise here, Harry's state will definitely be discovered by Umbridge, and maybe he will seize this opportunity to let him drop out of school...
Yi Renee grabbed the handle of the moving stairs on the first floor and frowned, staring at his expressionless expression. After a while, she relaxed her expression.
"Harry, I'll go back first—" She frantically imagined in her mind how to let Dumbledore know Harry's current state.
"Irene. I didn't eat anything wrong."
Irene stared blankly at Harry who was smiling at her, a chill rose from the bottom of her heart.
She was talking face to face with Voldemort. 'Take a chance to get his wand, don't just stun him. 'Irene nodded slightly after hearing what Irene said.
Before he could think of what to do, Harry took him into his arms and hid him in the shadows.Elene watched Filch and Mrs. Norris passing by from a distance, and finally couldn't help shaking.
How could he perceive them so far away?
"……What are you doing."
Elene's eyes blurred when she heard Snape's cold voice, it turned out that it wasn't Filch who was hiding but Snape.
Snape sent the stabilizer to Elene and watched her drink it, then went back to the cellar and began to watch the night.When I patrolled from the eighth floor to the second floor, I saw the open door of the school hospital.He frowned and looked inside and found that the only resident of the school hospital was not there.
He went down with a dark face and was about to look for the uneasy little badger just in time to see Potter taking her into his arms and hiding in the shadows.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a tender show, disgustingly I want to—" Snape couldn't help but sarcastically staring at Harry's hand on Irene's waist, before he finished speaking. See Yi Renee bumped into her arms.
He felt Yi Renee's trembling and frowned.
"Professor Snape, lend me your wand..." He heard Elene in his arms whispering in his ear, noticed something frowning and turned his eyes to Harry.
He was still standing in the shadows with his head bowed.
"'Deformation Appearance'!"
Irene snatched his wand and turned her head. According to Irene's statement, she cast a spell on Harry to confuse Voldemort. Seeing that he didn't respond, she knocked him down in a daze.
"..." Elene returned the wand to Snape and couldn't help but hug him again.She was just too scared.
Facing Voldemort directly, she couldn't reveal any flaws, she couldn't reveal any idea that Harry was his Horcrux in front of him, she couldn't harm Harry.
"...Let go." Elene hugged Snape tighter when she heard Snape's gnashing of teeth.Only in this way can she truly realize that she is standing here.She couldn't contain her fear at the thought that Snape might still die at the hands of Voldemort in the future.Desserts are nothing, if he is alive now, she is willing to let him drop hundreds or thousands of snack boxes.
"...Harry, he is possessed by the Dark Lord..." Snape was stunned hearing Irene's crying in his arms, seeing that she was still trembling uncontrollably, he subconsciously cast a warming spell on her.
Feeling the warmth around him, Yi Renee hugged him even tighter.
"..."
Snape was a little annoyed at his subconscious actions.
Elene followed Snape to move the unconscious Harry from the first floor to the principal's office on the eighth floor.
Dumbledore was sitting at the headmaster's desk in his purple star nightgown, writing a letter.Hearing the knock of the door, he looked out and saw the red-eyed Elene and the dark-faced Snape leading the comatose Harry Potter in.
"What happened?" Dumbledore folded the letter and put it aside and got up to check Harry's unconscious state.
"...Harry he just grabbed me to go to the Forbidden Forest - Voldemort's thoughts are affecting him."
Elena stared at Harry who was still asleep with a cold face under Elena.
"Have you been discovered by him just now?" Dumbledore hesitated for a moment, raised his head and saw Elene shaking his head, then fell silent.
A moment later Fawkes flew in through the open window and honked, and Dumbledore stroked its glowing red feathers.
"There are no abnormalities in the Forbidden Forest."
Elena frowned when she heard his reply. How could Voldemort take the risk of being discovered by Dumbledore to bring himself into the Forbidden Forest without any abnormalities?
Snape stood aside with a stiff face. Dumbledore's attitude and Irene's appearance clearly showed that Dumbledore knew about Irene's existence, so the abnormality that he had been hiding from Dumbledore before was also there. Dumbledore's default...
He was still thinking when he saw Dumbledore and Irene staring back at him.
"...Severus..." Dumbledore's piercing blue eyes fixed into his empty ones, "...didn't you just—"
"Tsk." Hearing Elena's cold interruption, Dumbledore understood and did not continue. 'what are you guys saying……'
Yi Renee became confused watching their riddle interaction.Just now, I just hugged Snape...'...'
It was really a good plan, using a thought intrusion to almost find out whether Elene is the prophet, understand the connection between Harry and him, and even almost verify Snape's loyalty.
Is this really the Voldemort who split seven of himself and caused his behavior to be confused?
Fortunately, she didn't do anything more outrageous just now...
Snape thought about it too, frowning and rubbing his wand.
"I'll take care of her."
Elena retracted her gaze and said to Dumbledore indifferently.
After staring at Snape, Dumbledore continued to stare at the expressionless Elena, pondering for a moment and said, "...Maybe sometimes it's better to let nature take its course."
Seeing Elena turning her head to stare at him, he smiled at her, and turned his gaze to Harry who was still asleep.
Harry woke up dazed.
"...Irene, Irene is okay—" He suddenly sat up and looked around, and he was relieved when he saw Irene standing beside Dumbledore with a cold face.Gritting his teeth, he touched his scar.
He just woke up when he was pulling Irene down the stairs.But no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from the invisible shackles. He could only watch helplessly as he dragged Elene to the Forbidden Forest. He also saw himself avoiding Snape strangely, and Elene ran into it...
Harry looked at the expressionless Snape, who paled.
Seeing him awake, Dumbledore turned his gaze to Elena.
"Does he know about you?"
Elena glanced at Harry's pale face and slowly frowned. Prophecy?She didn't quite know that Yi Renee said something when she was drunk for the first time.She was also drunk the second time and can't remember.
"...What's the matter?" Harry looked at Elena who was staring at him with a pale face. "If it's about Elena, I know we both know—"
"They don't know much." Harry closed his mouth at her indifferent voice.Don't they know much?
"...We can't wait any longer, Severus." Snape frowned when he heard Dumbledore's words. He vaguely understood something, but there was still a fog in front of him, and he couldn't figure it out.
"...I need to know the details." Seeing the suspicion in his eyes, Dumbledore opened his mouth and looked at Elena who was still silent.
"...Harry, you go back first."
Dumbledore lifted Boot from the table and watched it jump on Harry's shoulder before turning to Snape as he watched them leave.
"...on the night Voldemort tried to kill him, Lily used an ancient spell to deflect the Killing Curse back on Voldemort. A part of him lived inside Harry and could connect minds. We don't know what happened tonight. I don't know if he understands this, but we know that he can connect Harry's mind in reverse—" Dumbledore paused and looked at Snape's shocked expression, "As long as this soul fragment is still on him, With Harry's protection, Voldemort will not die."
"...Then, he must die?"
Elena stood beside Dumbledore and listened to their conversation silently with a cold face.
There was a long silence, and Dumbledore's eyes wandered to the silent Elena.
"Yes. And it must be done by Voldemort himself."
Hearing Elene's cold voice, Snape stared at her sharply.
"...Then how do you know?"
"...she is the Prophet, Severus." Dumbledore sighed and paced a few steps to block Elena from Snape's gaze on her.
"who is she?"
Snape saw Dumbledore fall silent and looked at himself frowning mildly.
"...you already knew...I was a spy for you, weaved lies for you, risked death for you, you said all this was for the safety of Lily Potter's son, but now you tell me, you Raising him like a pig waiting to be slaughtered?"
Elene drifted away from them and listened to Snape's frightened anger.It was the first time she had seen him lose his composure in several years.
"Are you really starting to like that boy?"
"……like him?"
Elena watched as he waved his wand, and a silver doe hopped a few steps on the floor and turned to watch them pass through the window.
"Lily..."
Dumbledore looked at the Patronus with tears in his eyes.
"It's been like this for so long?" 'It's always been like this. '
"……always like this."
Listening to what Elena said to herself in her heart, Elena slowly sat down and covered her face, she understood what it meant.
Elena closed her eyes and handed over control of her body to Elena, left her body, and floated into the air to watch them.Snape had already retracted his wand and didn't know what he was thinking.
"...Don't worry about Professor Snape, Harry won't die...Professor Dumbledore, can I go back and rest first?"
Dumbledore was stunned when he heard Irene's no longer cold voice behind him.Snape frowned when he heard her resolute words.
"...Wait, kid." Dumbledore called to stop her walking out the door covering her face. "...The next thing is about you."
"...your father came to me during the summer vacation three years ago and explained your... to me." Dumbledore watched her trembling and sighed. "Your mother obviously didn't intend for you to have any part in this, and it's clear you're innocent."
"...A person who is possessed by the prophecy, do you think she will stay out of it?" Dumbledore paused for a moment when he heard Snape's angry tone suppressed, and continued, "She will keep everything including those things." Take it upon yourself, Voldemort is staring at her now, so she won't be coming back. It's clear from tonight that Voldemort has his eye on you. We all want you to... live..."
Snape frowned at the end, live?
Irene wiped away her tears listening to Dumbledore's last few words. It turned out that Leona had indeed abandoned herself in order to escape from Voldemort's eyes.
"...I want to apologize to you..." Dumbledore walked slowly to her and hugged her crying into his arms. "...Son, if I hadn't coerced your parents into bringing you to England, you wouldn't have encountered these things..."
Dumbledore patted her trembling shoulder, his expression darkened.It wasn't until Xi Ke told him the truth about Leona's Horcrux making that he realized how many innocent people he had hurt by studying Voldemort's Horcrux.
Elena floated in the air and listened to his words with a blank expression. A hint of understanding flashed through her eyes. Dumbledore didn't know that she was a visitor from another world. He only thought that she was a natural prophet and a person who made a Horcrux. Parents are still hiding something.
"...I think even if that incident hadn't happened, I would have come to Hogwarts. After all, this is the best wizarding school in the world."
Yi Renee sniffed and tried to smile at him with tears in her eyes.
"Put away that diary of yours and don't let Voldemort get it." Listening to Dumbledore's whisper in her ear, Elene nodded and left the principal's room without looking at Snape again.
"……you do not trust me."
Dumbledore turned his head and smiled at him when he heard his sarcasm.
"You always knew she was accompanied by a seer."
"These are her private affairs, and I wouldn't know about them if Sickle hadn't voluntarily told me. Besides," Dumbledore's sharp blue eyes paused. "I thought you knew—" He remembered how Snape had kept the Resurrection Stone from him long ago.
"Know what! Know that one of the two children I've been protecting is a pig waiting to be slaughtered, and the other is a perennially dangerous container possessed by others?"
If Harry was already furious at having to risk death in the end, now that Voldemort's gaze on Elene broke his last string, he couldn't hold back his fear, ever since they entered school, Yi Renee has always been the one who was the most injured. From the passive wrist slitting in the first grade to the almost death in the third grade, he understood that the god of death seemed to be watching her all the time.And the cause of this death may be Voldemort.
"... container?" Snape frowned when he saw Dumbledore turning around in surprise.
"It's not a container. You forced her parents to keep her on the verge of death because of the prophecy spoken by the unknown prophet—"
"You seem to value her more than Harry, Severus."
Snape's face flushed as if his neck was strangled.
"...you have seen my Patronus—"
"I didn't say what kind of value it is, Severus." Dumbledore raised his glasses and looked through the lenses to see Snape's face stiffen for a moment, and his angry eyes became hollow again.
"...We all know it's impossible." Snape closed his eyes, he was so angry that he completely lost his usual composure and was caught in a loophole in front of Dumbledore.
He'd been aware of his problem since the first time Elene got drunk.Whether it's the puppet left secretly or he doesn't want to be alone in the room with her anymore, he asks different students to give her potions to find out who she has a crush on, he can feel that she is different in his heart...
When Yi Renee was drunk again and said those words that shocked him, he could find out whether those words were drunk words or not from her behavior afterwards.Some hidden corners in his heart couldn't help but jump, but he couldn't.
The dessert was too sweet and so satisfying, he couldn't accept it and was afraid to accept it.
The path he has taken is a path that cannot be turned back. He can no longer implicate anyone he cares about, even just a little bit.Every faltering night he would summon his patron saint, and he could only feel at ease by looking at the doe.
And this different starting point... Snape opened his eyes and stared at Dumbledore.If he hadn't let himself protect her, he wouldn't have been paying attention to her; if he hadn't let her come to England, he wouldn't have met her; if he hadn't—
"I do believe that anything is possible."
Dumbledore interrupted his thoughts and looked at him mildly.
"Severus, we have to start teaching them Occlumency, especially that kid."
"...Well, it depends on whether Potter's talent can be learned, but in my opinion—" Snape subconsciously referred to the child as Harry.
"...It's not Harry, it's Elene. Voldemort has already set her sights on her, we can't take the risk of letting him get the real prophecy." Dumbledore looked at Snape's astonished expression and pulled at him with a wry smile Mouth.
"... Her mother didn't teach her?"
"They never took her soul out."
After Yi Renee came out of the principal's office, she went downstairs in a daze and went back to the school hospital to lie down again.
"...you already knew...but you didn't tell me..." Irene didn't wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"I told you not to fall in love with him. Don't go near him."
Yi Renee stared at the grid on the ceiling and wondered why she fell in love with a man who was so many years younger than herself who loved someone else in his heart.
"Did you really fall in love with him without any other distracting thoughts?"
"Are you sure this love has not been affected by the previous life?"
Yi Renee closed her eyes sadly listening to her calm words.She couldn't deny that her liking for Snape did have a very high foundation. Since the first grade, she had disagreed with Hermione and the others on Snape many times.
But... In her heart, Snape was indeed different, and she was also excited by Snape's attitude towards herself sometimes being different from other people. She was confused and couldn't realize when she started to like him of.
Maybe it's the more or less companionship after each dangerous moment, maybe it's the warmth that is different from his usual indifferent appearance every time I stick to him and hug him, or maybe it's the influence of my previous emotions...
It wasn't fair to the Snape she knew.
She decided to let go of the question of whether he would like her first, and first think about whether she is qualified to say the word "love him".
