The Mysterious Return of Hogwarts

At midnight, Neo stood in front of the Hogwarts castle.

More than 40 years have not changed this castle. It is still silent and towering, absorbing the youth of generations of young wizards and feeding back their dreams and hopes.

But it's so gloomy, it gives these dreams a darker tone.

"As a school it should be brighter, why not paint the exterior pure white or sky blue?"

Neo said to Snape who opened the door to greet him.

Snape didn't know how to answer. For a while, he only said: "Leave the sleeping dragon alone."

Neo agreed with this statement and nodded.

"I thought simply. Magic should have its mysterious and simple appearance."

Snape led the way. For tonight's visit, Neo came alone, but looking at Minerva McGonagall walking out of the hall on the first floor, and the faint sound of wooden prosthetics hitting the floor, he A feeling of joy came to my mind.

Dumbledore was still polite, and in order to welcome him, he attracted many familiar friends.

"Snape, has Albus told you everything?"

The figure in front stopped for a moment, and Snape said hoarsely: "Yes...my master."

This child betrayed the Death Eaters after Tom's death. He originally thought that when he faced the nightmare again many years later, he would feel angry and pull out the wand to avenge his guilt over the years, but he felt the rich darkness behind him like a shadow. , he intuitively felt a new kind of pain appearing in his heart, so he chose to walk in front with his back to Neo.

It was he who told that half of the prophecy, and jealousy made him ugly.

He would rather be killed like this to atone for the mistakes he made.

Neo felt the inner conflict of this former servant after discovering his identity. On the one hand, he wanted to turn around and put a wand to his head to shoot 'Shen Feng Wu Ying', but on the other hand, he He found that this could not hurt a single hair on Neo's body. His weakness tortured this extreme idiot, and his emotions made his face stiff and twisted.

He was unwilling to even face himself, and Snape's self-destructive tendencies became even more intense after the memories were evoked.

The two walked in the hall one behind the other, their footsteps echoing in the gaps.Neo suddenly spoke, provoking the servant's thoughts.

"You are worried that just destroying me tonight will not end the danger, Severus, right?"

The light from the fire illuminated Snape's expression when he suddenly turned around, and the bridge of his sickle-like nose twitched.

"You have a sense of humor, I'm a...real Death Eater."

Snape used a tone full of cold hatred that he was familiar with in the past years. He never showed his awe and fear of Voldemort like other Death Eaters. This kind of confidence made him look highly upon Tom. , feels that talents should be respected, and so does Neo.

"I think highly of you, Severus. From the past to the future, I have regarded you as a true family member. Therefore, when I stand in this castle now and see the pain in your heart, I think... ..I want to give you a belated explanation..."

"What are you talking about?"

Snape obviously couldn't stand the pity in Neo's eyes. He hated this kind of hypocritical and disgusting sight, especially when it looked at him from a very low angle, and he was looking down. which one!

You, a monster, a tyrant who calls himself the Dark Lord, what nonsense are you going to say!

But height never determines inner status. The natives of the magical world have been brainwashed by blood and power theories for too long. Severus's inferiority turned into darkness from the beginning, making him breathless.

"I said, I didn't want to hurt that girl at the beginning."

Neo passed Snape who was stunned. He was familiar with this castle and didn't need a guide.

"I just walked into that room and killed the stupid James Potter who had the gall to point his wand at me... and then I found the child from the prophecy, just like Dumbledore expected Like that, but I am very disappointed, he is just an ordinary baby, not some magical animal, demon or god born with great power, Severus, do you understand?"

Snape stood there without answering. He was already collapsed, from his shoulders to his spirit.

"I was a little confused at the time, and even suspected that the prophecy was wrong, until the girl used her own life to release a powerful ancient spell. Before I failed and died, I really hated myself for not looking at it for a while. Its principle is How was it."

Neo continued to walk forward, and when he finally opened the next door and was about to walk out of the hall, the last words reached Snape's ears.

"Of course, these words have nothing to do with the explanation I want to say. It is just a sentence. The killing curse cannot affect such a powerful witch. She committed suicide."

The moment the door closed, Snape had fallen to the ground, and Neo noticed that he covered his face.

"Oh, fragile and helpless baby."

When Snape failed to fulfill his role as a guide, the new guide walked up to Neo, and Minerva stared at the short Neo with a look like a pest.

"What did you do to Severus?" she demanded, a wand peeking out of her right sleeve.

"I remember you, Miss Minerva McGonagall, are you so old?" Neo smiled, "As for Severus, I told him the truth about Lily's death. After all, except for me as the perpetrator, , who else knows better what happened that night.”

"You villain."

Minerva raised her hand and pointed her wand at Neo. She had never treated a child like this... The ghost in front of her in the skin of a child was not really a child.

"No, I am your future colleague. For at least a year, I will ask you for advice on how to teach."

Neo is very satisfied with his ability to anger others with just one sentence, and he has recently been working tirelessly to explore the mysteries of emotions.That kid Quirrell was basically spoiled.Dobby dug out all the memories that could be related to happiness from his mind and let him relive them over and over again. Under the influence of the Patronus Charm, his soul tortured by darkness and pain seemed to have improved.

How did Neo observe this? Of course he saw it when he held Quirrell's soul in his hands...

"how dare you!"

Minerva's wand emitted a red light, which was a disarming spell, a spell with powerful impact. Judging from the concentration and angle of the magic power, she probably wanted to hit Neo with a concussion.

"Iron Armor Protection."

Neo pulled out a wand and said it softly.

The light of magic was offset, but before Mag could utter the next spell...

"Okay, stop it, all this is meaningless."

An old man wearing moon-white robes walked out of the air, and the flames of the phoenix forced Mag back.

"Albus!"

Professor McGonagall was very angry. She felt that Dumbledore did not use the Elder Wand to fight alongside her, but instead stopped her. This was simply unreasonable!
