Hogwarts Slytherin

Room of Requirement.

"Reggie, are you sure you want to do this?" Lily felt her breathing become rapid, as if she were stepping on a huge marshmallow, her whole body felt light and dizzy.

While saying this, her watery green eyes looked at Reggie.

Stared at by such eyes, Reggie nodded without hesitation.

Curiosity, excitement, and expectation, different people fixed their different eyes on Lily.

Or rather, the bottle in her hand.

Yes, this is Reggie's trophy in the inter-school wizard competition - the elixir of life.

When Lily was in second grade, Evan Rozier used black magic to carve the extremely insulting word "Mudblood" on her face, although she later covered it up with a lily tattoo at Reggie's suggestion. live.

However, lilies are still best when they are pure and flawless.

Will the broken lily be restored to its original state one day?

Lily didn't know, she didn't seem to care about it, and even liked it very much, but that was just to not worry others.

Occasionally, when passing by Flint and Avery, they would stare at her with disgusting eyes.

At this time, Lily instinctively felt another stinging pain on her face.

When you are subjected to black magic, it hurts.

It also hurts when I get a tattoo.

She thought that this lily would accompany her throughout her life.

Now, Reggie tells her there's a way to make it go away.

When leaving the principal's office that day, Nick Flamel said that the elixir could be used to treat wounds caused by dark magic, and the first thing that came to Reggie's mind was Lily.

Of course, the only person around him was Lily who was permanently "traumatized" by black magic.

what?

Three years ago, Bellatrix gave her a heart-breaking blow at the Black Mansion?

Forgot, long ago.

Just for the sake of safety, while Reggie was busy studying the formula of wolfsbane potion with Snape, he still learned information about dark magic like this that left a mark through many channels.

It must be ensured that it falls within the range that can be restored by the elixir of life!

Otherwise, if it doesn't work, it's the elixir of life - he'll be really heartbroken.

It's just that the Philosopher's Stone is Nick Flamel's personal belongings, and there is very little information available about the elixir of life.

Reggie had no choice but to put some thought into making a magic notebook - this was Nick Flamel's previous request, and then sent an owl to France with his own troubles attached.

Then the waiting begins.

Fortunately, Nick Flamel did not keep him waiting long. He first praised the magic notebook he made, and then told him with absolute certainty that Lily's condition was within the range that could be cured by the elixir of life.

So there was today's scene.

Lily's question just now was already the third time she had asked it.

Because of understanding, Reggie understood that this gift was too precious to her.

But she's worth it.

"Now listen to me, I'll give you two choices, either drink it or I'll use it to feed Bibi Dong." Reggie looked at the red-haired witch with a confused look on her face and simply gave her an ultimatum.

Lily looked at him reproachfully, finally stopped squirming, raised her head and drank the red liquid in one gulp.

Snape's hand couldn't help but tighten.

Lily couldn't help but close her eyes, a strange feeling surged through her body, and then...she felt a little itchy on her face, which was the location of the tattoo.

She felt happy, it must have worked.

Soon, that wonderful feeling subsided.

Lily opened her eyes.

But the looks on their faces made her look confused: "What's wrong? Sifu, your face doesn't look good."

Snape pursed his lips tightly and turned pale.

The smile on Reggie's face also froze.

Seeing that they were all staring at her face, Lily raised her hand and touched the tattoo on the side of her face with some hesitation, and then...she was also startled, but she quickly recovered her smile.

"It's okay, Reggie. I'm sorry for wasting such a precious potion. I will try my best to compensate you in the future."

Seeing her eyes becoming moist, but her first reaction was still to put on a smile to comfort herself, Reggie couldn't help but feel even more distressed.

How come it has no effect? !

No, it's impossible.

Nick Flamel had no need to joke with him.

In his letter he made it clear that the elixir could cure the marks left by black magic!

So what's going on now?

What happened in front of him made Reggie confused——

and many more.

Cure Black Magic…

Tattoos are not considered black magic!

Reggie pulled out his wand, "No, Lily, close your eyes."

"what are you doing!"

Snape hurriedly stepped in front of Reggie's wand.

There was a moment of surprise on his expression, and Reggie smiled bitterly: "You misunderstood, Snape, it's not over yet."

He couldn't explain it for a while, and besides - he wasn't very sure whether this speculation was correct. If the situation didn't happen as he thought later, saying it would only increase the disappointment of a few people.

"Sev, it doesn't have to be like this, I believe in Reggie." Lily also spoke quickly.

Snape moved aside stiffly.

Blocking the wand was an instinctive reaction. Regardless of everything else, Lily was the most important woman in his life, and protecting her had become an instinct of his body.

On the other hand, it also shows that Reggie has a heavy weight in his heart.

So, he chose to put his own safety at risk.

The moment he saw Lily being pointed at by the wand, his instinct told him to stay in front of danger.

In front of Reggie's wand, his instinct made him not pull out the wand, but chose to use his body to stop it.

"Close your eyes." Reggie sounded a little excited.

Although Lily couldn't figure out what he was going to do, she still closed her eyes in cooperation.

What she was thinking about was such a precious potion...what would she use to repay it.

"No trace."

Along with a green light, Lily's face began to change.

The lilies began to fade—disappear.

disappear!

Anthony and Snape's eyes widened.

A bright smile finally appeared on Reggie's face.

谷财

"Maybe you should look at this, Lily, and open your eyes."

Slowly opening her eyes, Lily took the mirror from Reggie's hand, and the next second, she let out an exclamation!

"Boom"

The mirror fell to the ground, and she covered her mouth in disbelief.

Fortunately, there was a thick carpet on the floor and the mirror was not broken. Lily immediately knelt down and picked it up.

"R-Rigi! Sif! Is this true?!"

Snape couldn't hold back the smile on his face and nodded vigorously.

forget how long it is.......

Tears fell from her eyes as if they were broken. Lily couldn't help but strode forward and hugged Reggie forcefully.

The expression on Reggie's face softened.

The smile on Snape's face was unbearable, and the momentary stiffness was fleeting.

But soon, his expression turned into astonishment.

Because Lily walked up to him again and gave him a big hug.

Snape felt extremely hot, and his face turned red almost instantly, making him look like a cooked shrimp.

Then Anthony got the same treatment.

He almost pulled out his wand!

Sure enough, women only affect the speed at which he draws his wand!

Finally, several people looked at each other and laughed loudly.

A withered lily continues its wild growth.

When the three returned to the Slytherin common room, there was no one in the room.

"Thank you, Regis, and, I'm sorry." Snape said dully.

Reggie patted him on the shoulder and did not answer. In his opinion, Snape's behavior was very understandable and moved him very much.

No one will break up with a person who would rather be hurt than hurt his friends, no matter what he does.

"I would be grateful if you could speed up the research and development of Wolfsbane potion." Reggie raised his eyebrows, "For Merlin's sake, we don't have much time. Believe me, I have a hunch that someone There are people somewhere who are doing the same research as us. If they get ahead of us——"

Reggie covered his heart and made a heartbroken expression.

Snape did not speak, but secretly vowed in his heart to develop the wolfsbane potion as quickly as possible.

As for the possibility of Reggie cheating on him?

impossible.

But how did Reggie know that someone was also researching wolfsbane potion?

Maybe it's some kind of prophecy from a wizard.

In the magical world, wizards sometimes have a special sense.

******

One week after the final exam, the exam results are posted on the bulletin board in the lounge of each college.

Reggie still performed steadily, and his grades in Charms, Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Care of Magical Creatures, Ancient Runes, and History of Magic were all O (excellent).

Seeing others gave them a toothache.

Snape got an A (pass) in Care of Magical Creatures because he habitually wanted to dissect Mothras during his lesson.

Anthony's History of Magic and Transfiguration classes held him back a little.

All in all, the results of the two are very good compared to others.

Everyone is not clear about the situation in other colleges, but this does not prevent them from beginning to assume that Regis is the number one in the grade again this year.

In fact, it is true.

Sure enough, during the information exchange in the auditorium in the evening, someone finally tallied it up.

Reggie is still No. 1 in grade. Surprisingly, Lupine is second in grade, Umbridge is third, Snape is fourth, and Emily is fifth. This makes Slytherin's third-year wizard very special. Satisfied, I feel I have beaten Gryffindor again at the end of this school year.

Most of Lily's grades were very good, but her grades in the Divination and Charms classes were lagging behind, especially in the Divination class, where she even received a failing grade, which also made her depressed.

James and Sirius were particularly talented in Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts. They got full marks in these two subjects, but their results in Potions were not good, and they also suffered from divination.

For this reason, Sirius crumpled James' hair into a chicken coop in the dormitory.

Because after James found out about Lily's elective courses, he forced Sirius to take the same courses together.

Due to Slytherin's full energy, the House Cup finally fell into the hands of Slytherin. When the silver and green decorations did not fill the year-end dinner, several Slytherin students had wet eyes.

These sentimental guys must be seventh grade students.

After the year-end dinner, Rodolphus handed him a watch, "Father asked me to give it to you."

After handing over the things, Rodolphus's eyes showed no nostalgia, leaving only Reggie calmly putting the watch into the storage bag.

Rodolphus looked sullen, for reasons Reggie could guess.

He graduated this year, which also meant a wedding to Bellatrix on Christmas Day.

Thinking of that Hufflepuff witch... Reggie closed his eyes and walked towards the lounge.

School departure day soon came, and the dormitories in every college lounge in Hogwarts were emptied, and everyone was packing their luggage.

The Hogwarts Express has docked at the Hogsmeade platform. This year, compared to the past, there are more unfamiliar figures on the platform. They are all Aurors specially sent by the Ministry of Magic.

Will those Aurors feel that they are overqualified and insulted?

Oh, for Merlin's sake, they were running out of people.

Not everyone is a lunatic like Alastor Moody. Being able to become an Auror proves that they are excellent wizards. Most people cherish their lives very much.

Compared to hunting down those hard-boiled Death Eaters, where one might even risk losing one's life, guarding the Hogwarts Express was simply a dream job.

Reggie was sitting in a carriage with Anthony, Snape, and Lily, chatting about various plans for the vacation, mostly listening to Lily talk.

During this period, James and the others came over once to say hello, but soon it became clear that they had some plans for the holiday, and even gave up the great opportunity to pester Lily - you know, they are on the train now, and Lily has no plans at all. There is no place to escape.

The journey back became short, and soon the Hogwarts Express stopped at King's Cross Station.

The platform was bustling with people and parents who came to greet their children. Only this point remained unchanged.

Lily soon saw her parents and Petunia standing in the crowd. After saying hello to a few boys, she flew towards her family like a happy bird.

Naturally, the Evanses also immediately noticed the change in their daughter's face. No--gone?

Didn’t that professor say that traces cannot be removed?

But the joy of reunion quickly diluted the doubts in the heart, and the family hugged each other tightly, it doesn't matter, it's okay if they are gone, it's okay if they are gone.

The orphan trio barely looked around as Snape's mother died of illness not long after Christmas this year.

Snape had been mentally prepared for this. Although he was sad, it was more of a spiritual relief.

For Ms. Prince, and for himself.

He is also going to run into his own life.

He had something more and something better.

Long ago, it stopped being just that dirty shabby house in Spider End Lane.

"Okay, let's go home too." Reggie put his arms around the shoulders of the two buddies, and both Snape and Anthony smiled.

There is no gloomy look like before.
