MTL - In This Hogwarts Without a Savior-Chapter 446 444. Picnic
Chapter 446 444. Picnic
Jon froze on the spot.
In the normal timeline, what should have happened that night, he clearly remembered and never forgot.
Lily died at the hands of Voldemort. Voldemort actually planned to fulfill his promise to Snape and save Lily's life, but Lily was unwilling to let go anyway in order to protect Harry.
So this made the original Voldemort lose his patience, killed Lily, and when he was about to kill Harry again, the death curse was rebounded by Lily's love magic, leading to his own death.
But it was not until today that Jon really understood what the changes that happened in the middle were from the mouth of the only person who survived that night.
Voldemort actually held his temper, didn't use magic, didn't violate his promise to Snape to let Lily go, and stunned Lily first?
And what happened to Lily's description of his expression at that time?
Why did Voldemort suddenly show that expression?
Or was Voldemort II already present at that time? And not after killing Harry Potter?
Just as Jon was thinking more and more, Lily's voice didn't stop there.
"By the time I woke up again, it was already midnight." Her voice was visibly trembling, "Albus came to my house, he woke me up from the coma, and then, the first time I He rushed to Harry's crib. He was not breathing, completely... completely turned into a cold corpse."
"I yelled like crazy, I want to go to Voldemort, I want to go to revenge for him, for my husband and my son. But Albus held me tightly, he didn't let I was sent to die like this, and in fact, I didn’t know where to find him. But I couldn’t listen to anyone’s advice and words. In the end, they could only find a way to continue to stun me with the Stunning Curse, and bring me to To a safe place."
Listening to her story, Jon could imagine how desperate Lily felt when she woke up from a coma that night.
Overnight, the original beautiful family disappeared. This is a huge blow that no one can bear, especially the enemy who caused these things did all this in front of her eyes.
Lily's voice gradually became normal after a brief silence. Although she couldn't restrain the hatred in her heart when she recalled this past, it was precisely because of this hatred that she could better control her Hold your emotions.
"That is, in the month that Voldemort disappeared from the wizarding world, Albus told me everything he knew. The whole wizarding world knew about that prophecy, and it was because James knew that we were going to face each other." In the right situation, he cast the loyalty spell in our house, but he chose the wrong secret keeper. Originally, this candidate was Sirius, who was worthy of everyone's trust, but because he was taken for granted, James played a trick. It's a little cleverness to choose Wormtail, who has actually secretly taken refuge in Voldemort."
"I know who my two biggest enemies are, one is Voldemort who did all this with his own hands, and the other is Wormtail who betrayed James' trust! But Albus was staring into my eyes, his voice was very Shen, very serious, let me know another piece of news. That is who leaked and told Voldemort this ridiculous savior prophecy. That's when I knew that on the night Voldemort came to my house, Snape went to After finding Albus, he actually begged Albus to help save my life!"
A cold, sarcastic and resentful smile appeared on Lily's face.
"When he leaked the prophecy to his master and wanted to use it to claim credit for Voldemort, the only thing he missed was that the family that gave birth to the child in the prophecy was my family! He has no scruples, vicious and cruel In this way, he sacrificed the life of a family as a stepping stone to his superiority, and repaid Voldemort's trust and appreciation for him! He didn't start to feel scared until he knew that the mother who gave birth to this child was actually me, James said That's right, Snape never showed me his only little bit of humanity, and other times he was not stingy compared to his master. He begged his master to let his master keep my Just kill James and Harry, my life is worthless to Voldemort."
"He also clearly knew that Voldemort was not a very trustworthy person at all. Even though his master who was extremely harsh and stingy to his subordinates gave him a promise, he was still afraid, and then showed that the only thing he would show in me was He found Albus, betrayed his master, and told him that Voldemort knew the secret that the boy in the prophecy would be born in my house. Albus showed me that memory, he Didn't hide from me, Snape burst into tears, he hoped that Albus could save me, and said he once offered Harry in exchange for letting me go! He can hate James, I don't expect him to Let go of the previous hatred, but even if he gives Harry a little or even a little bit of mercy!"
Lily clenched her teeth.
"He thinks this is treating me well? He thinks that I should thank him? It is he who makes me live in a world like **** every day! Every night, I can think of Harry's Crying! I often wake up from nightmares. I dreamed that Harry was crying, and he cried and said why I failed to save him! Why did I let my own child die in front of me!"
Jon listened to Lily finish all this in silence.
To be honest, Snape is definitely an extremely tragic character in the original book. Even his treatment of Lily in the first half of his life was all wrong, and of course he was also bullied.
But in the original book, he used the rest of his life to repay all this. In order to make up for Lily's death due to his own fault, he did everything he could.
But now it is different, Lily is not dead, so he naturally has no possibility of making amends, following Voldemort all the way to the dark, so that he has no trace of sadness, but is so hideous.
No one would have a slight liking for Snape after hearing such a tragedy as Lily, even Jon who knew what choice Snape made in another world line.
So far, Jon has not seen any sparkle of humanity in him, and he is completely a selfish crumb.
The so-called doing Lily’s best is also his own wishful thinking, just to make him feel at ease, and he doesn’t care how Lily is doing.
"So, Professor." Jon helped to throw Lily's inedible cone into the trash can, "Now that we know that Snape will definitely stay in Spider's End, how do we find him?" ?”
Lily looked towards the lawn.
"He cares about me very much." When she said this, her voice was not the slightest bit warm, "so he also cares about the memories of being here with me, as long as he chooses to stay here, there will be a day Come here again."
Jon looked at the lawn and shrugged. He could only blame him for being a straight man. He really couldn't understand Snape's thinking.
But at least Lily's words let him know the purpose of their continued stay here.
While the school public trial was in full swing in Lyon, Jon and Lily lived together near Spider's End Alley.
It has been more than half a month since the end of the Triwizard Tournament. After entering May, the weather gradually began to rise, and early summer began.
Even in this city full of industrial atmosphere, there is no way to hide the coming summer.
The leaves of the trees on the side of the road are getting denser and greener. Jon and the others have been here for a whole week. During this week, they can obviously find that there are often some very strangely dressed people near Spider's End Alley.
Those are obviously Aurors from the British Ministry of Magic. Their imitation of Muggles is not professional, and they have the unique temperament of wizards, which can almost be seen through at a glance.
Not to mention the Death Eaters who made the city's law and order worse and worse recently. Even if they carried out Voldemort's order and were willing to temporarily put down their arrogance in order to catch Snape, they would not Low-key when confronting Muggles.
There have been many fights near Spider's End, such as the one in front of Jon.
A man who was still wearing a thick trench coat in early summer and a top hat on his head, just because passers-by around him took a few extra glances at his weird attire, he cursed unscrupulously, and then went up to punch him Hit people.
Jon, who just came from a bakery holding a paper bag of various desserts, pretended to be a crowd of onlookers, watched the Death Eater secretly use magic to restrain the Muggle's movements, and began to punch him Hit and kick.
There were people fighting around, some people ran to the nearest phone booth to call the police, and some people stood aside to watch the fun just like Jon.
It's just that Jon didn't stay here for long, he "tsk tsk" twice, and left the scene.
Based on the performance of these Death Eaters, it would be a ghost if they weren't discovered by Snape, and I don't know if the local Muggle government will be overwhelmed by such security during this time.
Jon came to the lawn.
He and Lily have changed their appearance. Unlike those Death Eaters, both Jon and Lily are very knowledgeable about how to hide themselves.
He always maintained an appearance and appeared every day on this lawn that hadn't attracted the attention of those Aurors and Death Eaters. Maybe it would make Snape suspicious.
So even if they come every day, they never attract the attention of the people around them.
Today, the two dressed up as a mother and son going out for a picnic. Such a combination is not uncommon in this lawn. The recent weather is very good, even in this heavily polluted industrial city. There was a clear sky.
Therefore, many families chose to go out today and chose this lawn.
Jon placed all the desserts he bought on the tablecloth, then picked up a bottle of juice, and finished it in one go.
"When I came here, I saw Death Eaters making trouble again. Those Aurors are probably going to have a headache. Not only can these people not help them at all, they will also mess up their arrangements and tasks."
Lily was taking out all kinds of washed and cut fruits from the dining basket one by one. She was wearing a red knitted coat and a floral dress. Except for a smile on her face, she was with a woman with a child. Muggle women out on a picnic were no different.
"The current Voldemort simply doesn't know how to get things done."
Lily said in a low voice, from the perspective of an outsider, it would only feel like they were chatting casually.
"These purebloods who are used to being pampered and pampered are becoming less and less willing to pay. They just want to ask for it. When Voldemort has the same interests as them, such as chasing and killing us, they will pay about 60% But when Voldemort's ideas go against their demands, for example, the capture of Snape is not beneficial to the purebloods at all, then they will act quite negatively. Because if Snape is captured After returning, no one can guarantee whether he will return to the previous high position, if that is the case, it will inevitably make some things that have been eaten into the stomach by the pure blood now spit out again."
Of course Jon can see this clearly, but Voldemort alone can't see it clearly at all.
He thought that the people under him would still succumb to his violence and power as before, but in fact, his other self had already re-established a clear rule for these purebloods.
Voldemort's current behavior is to break this rule and return his power to the disordered state of more than ten years ago. This will undoubtedly make many people who have already enjoyed the benefits of a stable order conflict.
While Jon was enjoying this pleasant time, lying on the lawn and watching the sky deliver the fruit Lily had just taken out to his mouth, he suddenly noticed Lily standing up from the ground out of the corner of his eye.
Jon turned his head in doubt, and then he saw Lily staring in one direction.
There was a group of children who came out for a picnic to play. In the beginning, some little girls blushed and wanted to pull Jon along, but he ruthlessly refused them all.
And on the bench next to this group of children, an old man was sitting at some point.
He was wearing a neat suit, his silver-gray hair was carefully combed, and he was holding an old crutch in his hand. He looked like an old gentleman.
But Jon keenly caught a different emotion in the old man's eyes.
And this kind of emptiness, like indifference, is almost unique to the other person.
Lily obviously also noticed the abnormality.
