Chapter 17 17

It was raining heavily the day I left.The icy rain and the cold wind were blowing on the face, the dark clouds were under the dark sky, and there was a familiar cold taste in the air.The flowers and plants in front of the manor were withered and yellow, and the remaining emerald green became lifeless under the pressure of the rain.Even the house-elves have abandoned the area, hiding in their houses and refusing to go out.

Edith insisted on seeing me off.Such weather is really not friendly to her, but in the end we compromised with her.Even if she is no longer the patriarch, the prestige is still there.Mr. Alston held up a large umbrella with his wand, and shaded them both from the rain.When I came here, there was a group of people to welcome me, but when I left, I was alone.It is really sad to think about it.

Edith is no longer able to send out men.Her trusted subordinates either died long ago in the hands of the enemy, or were imprisoned, and some directly betrayed the saints.Only a few were protected by her.And she can't let this kind of people take the risk of being caught and send me to England.

Of course I understand her.She is willing to take me into this family, which is enough for me to thank.Alice Hellman.She gave me the Hellman surname, so I finally had family and a place to stay.That's enough for me to thank her for my life.

Maybe I should have cheered up and revived this family, but there was nothing I could do.My body has not allowed me to do this under my squandering.I have never regretted my revenge, because they are also the enemies of the Hellman family.If they don't die for a day, Hellman's blood will be threatened, and the gift of this family may bring disaster to the world.

While the Saints led by Edith have wreaked havoc on the world, that's just her.She is not enough to represent the entire Hellman family.

I chose Muggle transportation from Germany back to England.I left Germany for France by the special passage reserved by the saints, and from France I returned to England by steamer.

I stood at the gate of the manor and said goodbye to them one by one.Christon is a man of integrity. He is passionate and upright. Although he has broken with Edith, he loves his family and his family after all.He is also good at handling family affairs, and plans to marry his lover in a while.Handing over the family to him was a wise decision.

I said good-bye to Mr. Alston again.He was the person who stayed with me the longest in Hellman.He took good care of me and taught me.I thank him for everything, for making me feel less alone here.

Finally I said goodbye to Edith.At this time, both Mr. Christon and Mr. Alston left, we were holding an umbrella, she pulled me, stared at my face, smiled gratified and sad: "Every time I see you... It's like seeing your mother, You are so similar. Almost every night I dream about her in my dreams. When she left the family, I often woke up from my dreams."

"Alice, you are so gentle and kind, just like your mother."

"I...gentle and kind?" I looked at Edith uncertainly.Gentle and kind, these are not words to describe me.I hurt people, I kill people, my heart is crazy, my hands are covered with blood.I gradually understood what Edith had said, that Hellman didn't need these.What we need is cruelty, viciousness and insidiousness.I had long forgotten arguing with her, long forgotten Hufflepuff's dick.

"I know what you're thinking, Alice. But your nature is a gentle person. Those people deserve to die, and no one would let them go. They deserve to die. If they didn't hurt you, you wouldn't I will do this. I know that you are a person who longs for light in your heart. I'm sorry. I thought it was the right decision to take you into the Hellman's house. I thought it would protect you, but on the contrary, it makes you feel lonely here. There's no familial warmth here. There's only responsibility, honor, and I know, that would drive a man crazy. I'm so arrogant, and I'm sorry, Alice."

"No--"

"That's what drove your mother away. She cried in front of me the day she left. She was sadder than any of us. Forgive me, Alice."

"...you have never done anything wrong and have nothing to forgive."

Edith's eyes were full of sadness.It makes me sad too.I seem to see her past again, where my mother, Grindelwald and Dumbledore are.Her youth was brilliant and brilliant, but she ended up alone.I want to cry for her, but I have no more tears to shed.

"You've given me a family, and that's enough of my thanks, Edith."

That's enough, really enough.I want to convey this feeling to her.Edith laughed, so sadly that she seemed to be crying.There are too many emotions in it that I can't understand. She is so helpless, like a little girl who has never experienced anything in the world.Maybe she wasn't apologizing for me, but for her past, for everything.

I do not know.

"This may be the last time we see each other, Edith. Please be happy, I don't want to think of you when you are sad. There is really nothing to be sad about. I love you, Edith. I love you The family. I thank you for everything."

Edith certainly didn't smile as genuinely as I'd imagined.She stretched out her hand to straighten my wind-blown hair.This is presumably what a mother would do for a child traveling far.Edith says she thinks of her sister when she looks at me, but so do I.Seeing her makes me think of my mother.

Maybe I have already regarded her as a mother.

"But that's all... that's all."

I heard her whispering as I left.I turned to look at her and she was looking up at the sky.She didn't hold an umbrella, and the rain poured in, drenching her whole body for a while.Her silver hair was sticking to her face wetly, her eyes were dusty but crystal clear.She's crying, I thought, leaving this broken family.

The road from Germany to France was not easy.Almost all the secrets of the saints have been revealed by traitors.Inspections and hunts by the Ministry of Magic of various countries are everywhere.In the end I fortunately gave up the saint's passage and took the Muggle train to France, but I still ran into trouble at the German border.In the end, I killed two members of the Order of the Phoenix and got rid of the members of the French Ministry of Magic a few times by detours. Only then did I successfully arrive in Paris.

What a hassle.I thought angrily, and drank another bottle of potion.The apparition and various spells along the way made me breathless, but fortunately my body can still bear it.Christon had previously improved the formula to strengthen the effect of the potion.This made me feel better.

Although one shouldn't rely too heavily on drugs.

It rained heavily in France as well.Naturally the ship was delayed.I drank the compound soup prepared in advance and escaped the interrogation.After another rush, I finally arrived at the pier and got on the ship to England.

"Miss Hellman."

The moment I stepped on the deck, I breathed a sigh of relief, but the people around me called me that.My passport didn't have the name Alice Hellman on it, and I gripped my wand immediately.

"Please rest assured. I am sent by Lord Voldemort, in order to allow you to return to England safely. We have already dealt with the people from the French Ministry of Magic. Please leave the trouble to us for the rest of the journey."

Sent by Voldy.Perhaps he had already planted men in Germany, and said that Edith blocked Germany.He's just trying to lure me back to England.There is nothing wrong with his actions, but he just used lies to give me the opportunity to return to the UK.

I looked at his men.This is a dark-skinned woman with an extremely long scar on her cheek, and a respectful and determined look in her black eyes.She must be very loyal to Voldy, she takes him as her faith.Since she is a trustworthy person, I will leave the matter to her with confidence.

The journey back to England was uneventful. Voldy's men killed a man who looked about my age.She used the Confusion Charm to keep the rest of the ship from finding out.Other than that nothing else happened.

After disembarking I was taken away by direct apparation.When I opened my eyes again, I was already hugged by Voldy, and his subordinates were no where to be seen.It was unbelievable, and I reached out to him in return. Voldy's chest was warm, he really was a real person.

"Glad to see you again, Alice." Voldy laughed.He has always been gentle with others but keeps others away thousands of miles away. He will never show such a bright smile to others so wantonly.It made me wonder for a moment whether he was really Voldemort or not.

"Voldy..."

"How is your health? I know you went from Germany to France first. You lost the people from the Ministry of Magic, and I almost lost my men. I was worried about you after I met you that day."

Before waiting for my answer, Voldemort took me to the restaurant without any explanation.I'm looking around here.Very similar to the one in my dream, but not the same.That forest is probably not British.It's just that for a person like him who doesn't like decoration, probably the houses are similar everywhere.

Voldemort's butler was a Squib from a pureblood family.This reminds me of Mr. Alston.I tried not to think about the Hellmans' affairs, but when I saw this butler, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.I even doubt that this is deliberately arranged.But what's the point?

"Voldy, I..."

After I finished eating, I put down the knife and fork, and looked up at Voldy who was sitting across from me.

"There's something I want to discuss with you, Alice."

Voldy interrupted me again.This is not a discussion, I thought, how can I deny his affairs.But I still focused on listening.

"Let's get married, Alice."
