[HP] Alchemy and Love

"Why can't you use offensive magic?" Sirius repeated, as if surprised at how she'd brought up the subject so suddenly, "Well... at first I thought you were just being too timid. Then I found out that you would too. Attacking Death Eaters in other ways, but you just can't use magic, so I think you may be a kind of magical species between Squibs and normal wizards."

"Almost." Lorenthia said, curled up, her forehead resting on her knees, without looking up.Even though she knew that even if she raised her head, Sirius would never be able to see her clearly, "I do have a magic flaw. This matter is very complicated...Have you heard of silence?"

"I've heard it," said Sirius. "Let me think about it... Some young wizards who are oppressed by their surroundings and people around them will try to suppress their magic, which will create Obscurity. Obscurity will kill its host , and has tremendous destructive power to the surrounding environment and other life. It is one of the most dangerous and darkest magic. That's all I can remember."

"That's enough for you to know," Lorenthia said. "When I was seven years old, I almost became an Obscure."

"You what?!" Sirius asked in surprise.

Lorenthia buried her face deeper.Saying these things is more difficult than she imagined. After all these years, it still feels like tearing old wounds. She never thought that she would say this to Sirius—they are just ordinary friends, and their relationship is far from comparable. Her relationship with Remus, Lily and even Casey.But under the circumstances, it was her duty to tell Sirius about it, and Sirius needed to know. "Barely," she emphasized, "I haven't really been an Obscure."

"I don't understand." Sirius asked in shock, "You live in a wizarding family! Why did you become an Obscure?!"

"At that time, my mother had a job and needed to go abroad for a long time, and only I lived with my father. My father was more obsessed with his alchemy experiments than he cared about me. I can talk to him no more than ten sentences a day." Lorencia said, although Those things have passed for a long time, and now she still recalls it with bitterness, "I...we lived in a house next to a Muggle village, and I was sent to that Muggle primary school because my parents thought I knew better Muggle society is a good thing - they are actually right in their point of view. But at that school, my magic was discovered by a few boys older than me.

"They thought it was evil and started ... bullying me. It was verbal at first, then it started throwing my stuff, and it turned into physical violence. To avoid the teacher finding out, they will not be on my exposed body parts. Leaving obvious marks and threatening me not to report to teachers and parents. I told my father, but he underestimated the seriousness of the matter at the time, just thought that I could not get along with my classmates, and never took it to heart. I was bullied by them For a long time, the silence in me slowly started to form during that time."

Sirius uttered a stream of obscenities under his breath.

"Then one time, I couldn't take it any longer. Instead of silently letting them bully me after school, I ran away towards home. When I was about to get home, they chased me, and then...a magic happened Outburst. It could have turned into a silent outburst, but luckily I met Newt. He saved me and the Muggle kids."

"Can Obscurity be stopped?" Sirius asked.

"According to Newt, once silence is formed, it is irreversible, but he caught up with my magic power and cut off the corrupted magic power in advance." Lorencia said, "I met him once, knew he was a wizard too, and I trusted him—so he used a special magic to prevent me from turning into the Obscure. After that he and Professor Dumbledore cast a very complicated trick on me. Magic, part of the magic in my body was 'cut' out. Fortunately, I was still young at that time, and the remaining magic power would gradually recover as I grew older. They hoped that when I grow up, I can gradually return to the magic level of a normal wizard, But no, maybe because of that accident, I've never been able to cast offensive magic."

"Where are the boys?" Sirius asked.

"I don't know." Lorenthia said, "I think they should have their memory erased. After that, I haven't paid attention to their situation. After all, they are Muggles, and the Ministry of Magic can't punish them. "

"That's it?!" Sirius asked angrily, "It's just erasing the memory?!"

"What else?" Lorenthia took a trembling breath, "I didn't become an Obscure, I can still use magic, and I even got to know Newt because of it--this is already extremely lucky .”

Sirius was silent for a while. "Why are you telling me this now?"

"What happened to me may be the first case in history," Lorenthia said. "Even Dumbledore couldn't predict what the aftereffects would be. But he did say... said I The magic power will be more unstable than normal people. I don't know, if something happens...if something happens... maybe you can find a chance to escape..."

"Don't even think about it!" Sirius flatly refused. "Who do you think I am? Do you think I'd be the kind of coward who leaves you and runs away?"

"I don't think that if something happens, I will still be able to escape later." Lorenzia said softly, she really didn't have the energy to quarrel with him, "It's good if I can escape one more... and you can find someone to rescue you I……"

"I escaped and left you at the hands of this mad woman, Bellatrix? Nonsense," said Sirius. "Needless to say, I would never do that."

Lorenthia sighed, put her head on her knees harder, and stopped talking.She could only hope that if something did happen, Sirius, as an Auror, would know how to deal with it better than she did.Sirius seemed to wait a moment, seeing that she would not continue the topic, he asked, "Does Remus know?"

"I don't know." Lorenzia said, "This time I'm back...I've always wanted to talk to him, and I wanted to talk to him about it."

After saying this, she suddenly felt sore, and quickly closed her eyes tightly, but she felt that tears were still gathering in her eye sockets.Now she may never have that chance.Remus would never understand her feelings in the end.Will he regret it?Will he feel sad?Could he have mistaken her for being angry?

The two years of separation made it easier for Remus to avoid her, and had already established a much stronger barrier between the two than before.Lorenthia suddenly realized clearly at this moment that if she died here - which was a very likely thing - it would mean that no matter what she and Remus had in mind, the estrangement between them would be forever, There is never a chance to disappear.

Before returning to England, she had already thought over and over in her mind countless times, how to meet Remus, and what to say to him.All those words have been silently recited in her heart countless times, so that she can recite them by heart.But at this moment, all the well-arranged words disappeared, leaving only one strong thought:

I want to see him.Let me see him one more time.

When Lorenthia woke up again, she was awakened by a scream again.

This kind of experience is too much once in a lifetime, and what's more, this time she immediately recognized that it was a female voice-her heart sank.Undoubtedly the worst happened, and the Lestranges actually caught Frank and Alice.

When she opened her eyes, she was immediately stung by the light and burst into tears.She squinted her eyes and looked around hard, and saw the Lestrange couple walking down the stairs, and there were two tightly bound figures lying at the bottom of the steps, obviously Frank and Alice who had just been pushed down.She shivered uncontrollably, and subconsciously leaned towards Sirius next to her—then realized that Sirius was no longer by her side, but at the other end of the room farther away from her.Apparently, while she fell asleep again unknowingly, he fumbled through the room again in the dark, however, it still seemed like he found nothing.

Her head was unbearably hot, and she began to feel a burning pain like being burned.She had never experienced this feeling before, but it gave her an almost intuitive sense of familiarity, as if all of these came from a certain force in her body that was slowly spiraling and unfolding, wanting to break through this body outward. Physical bondage.

After her eyes, which had been in the dark for a long time, slowly adjusted to the light, she saw the Lestrange couple clearly.Compared with the previous time, they looked more gloomy and crazier.

"Why did the Dark Lord fail? What kind of power does that child in the prophecy have? Answer me!" screamed Bellatrix.

"We don't know," Frank said.

"Liar, you must know something!" cried Bellatrix. "Crucio!"

The room was filled with harsh sounds—Alice screamed, Frank and Sirius yelled at Bellatrix at the same time, so that Lorenthia couldn't make out a word.She felt her head almost explode.All she saw in the chaos was Rodolphus raising his wand, and the next moment a beam of red light hit Frank, who screamed too.

"Say, tell me, what did the Potters do?" Bellatrix asked sharply again after the painful screams of the two gradually stopped.She's scarier than last time—don't know what happened while she was gone, but Bellatrix seemed so mad at this point that she didn't even bother to separate them for interrogation." Tell me! How could the great Dark Lord fail!!"

"I don't know!" gasped Alice, brokenly, "we don't know—"

"You dare to lie to me, I swear I will make all of you regret it-- Cruciatus! Cruciatus!"

"Stop!" Lorenthia couldn't help shouting, but her voice was completely drowned in the shouting—everyone seemed to be screaming, and Bellatrix and Rodolph His Cruciatus Curse makes this screaming chorus always full of pain.I don't know how many rounds of the Cruciatus Curse it was, but Rodolphus suddenly turned his wand to Lorenthia: "Cruciate!"

Lorenthia didn't even hear him chanting the spell in the chaotic voice, but the ubiquitous pain immediately surrounded her.She fell from her back against the wall and writhed in vain, screaming and ringing in her ears.Her head is about to explode - it is said that when the obscurity erupts, it will turn itself into a torrent of magic power, so what about the incomplete obscurity?Will it evolve into a human bomb?

I don't know how long it took before the pain subsided slowly. Lorencia lay on the ground, her whole body was numb, and her ears were buzzing.It took a while for the surrounding sounds to reach her ears, and besides the screams of Alice and Frank, Sirius was insulting Voldemort endlessly, as if trying to distract Bellatrix Attention: "...a pathetic, arrogant lunatic, why do you wonder why he failed? It's beyond my expectation that he didn't torture himself to death sooner..."

"Shut up!" Rodolphus pointed his wand at him, "Crucio!"

Amidst the screams, Lorenthia saw Bellatrix look grimly at Alice, who was struggling and twisting at her feet, and then at Sirius.For some reason, she suddenly understood Bellatrix's expression—the expression that said, "He's useless."

She raised her wand at Sirius.Lorenthia read her mouth: "Avada—"

"Stop!" she yelled desperately.

Something finally broke through the chains.She felt the torrent of magic force breaking through her body and rushing past her. She didn't know where that force led, but felt her body gradually receding, and finally her consciousness returned to complete darkness.

"I'm going to kill her." It was her last thought.

The author has something to say: never brought benefits to the heroine until now (?) hang up.

Lorenthia doesn't know it herself, so it can't be reflected from her perspective at all, but it's not without reason that Newt and Dumbledore care about her beyond ordinary people.At the beginning, they both had a certain amount of empathy for Loren. Newt thought of the little obscurant girl he failed to save because of her, and Dumbledore thought of his sister because of her.Of course, a deeper relationship gradually developed later.

End countdown.The next day will be updated to the end (there are not many chapters left).
