Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

William was a little dumbfounded when he heard this.

"Slytherin's name is famous even as far away as the New World." William quickly explained, "As for your Gaunt family lineage...don't you know what you are talking about in your sleep?"

After hearing this, Aesop broke into a cold sweat: Are you talking in your sleep?How come she didn't know she still had this problem?But this seems to be the only reasonable explanation.

"Let's get out of here first. Didn't you tell me earlier that you weren't comfortable staying here?" Aesop awkwardly changed the subject.

"That's great!" Seeing that Aesop didn't continue to ask, William felt like he was being pardoned and ran into the forest first.

"I will come back to find you." Aesop whispered in the direction where the horned water snake left.

……

After sensing that Aesop was in danger, Dean arrived here long ago.

After he discovered that the horned water snake had no ill intentions towards Aesop, he simply did not show up, but was protecting it secretly, so he had a clear view of the farce that followed.

Dean didn't expect that William would find such a lame excuse in the end, and couldn't help but secretly hold his forehead: It seems it's time for William to leave Aesop, otherwise the secret will have to be exposed.

Just when Dean was thinking about how to reasonably let William leave Aesop, Snape walked out of the mini alchemy laboratory and stood next to Dean.

"Why didn't you tell me that Aesop has the blood of the Gaunt family?" Snape asked softly.

Dean couldn't help but shudder. He was very familiar with Snape's tone. Under normal circumstances, it meant that Snape was very angry.

"Godfather, I don't think it's important, so I didn't say anything." Dean took a sneak peek at Snape's expression and found that although his expression was as gloomy as ever, he was exuding low pressure from all over his body. .

"Dean, I know a way that may change everyone's fate." Snape looked directly into Dean's eyes and said.

"Change everyone's fate?" Dean was a little confused, "I don't understand."

"For example, Lily will not die, for example, your father Brian Shaw may survive, for example... the Dark Lord will not even be born." A trace of sadness and memories flashed across Snape's face.

"Is there really such a way?" Dean was delighted.

If Voldemort, the root cause of the Second Wizarding War, was never born, wouldn't the "rescue" mission be completed in an instant?

Since Snape knew this once and for all method, why didn't he tell him earlier?It wasn't even used in the original work until his death?

"Of course." Snape took out his wand, "As long as all the Gaunt family bloodlines in this era are killed, history will change."

"Do you want to attack Aesop?" Dean's expression changed.

"Aesop has the blood of the Gaunt family, so naturally he is included in it." Snape curled his lips and said.

"This, this is crazy. Godfather!" Dean raised his voice, "You know the consequences of changing history better than I do. Not only will Voldemort not be born, but you, me, Principal Dumbledore, and even Lily, My biological father...these people we care about might not have been born, and that would be a completely different world! What's the point of changing history like that?"

"Answer me Dean, are you afraid that history will be tampered with beyond recognition, so you stopped me, or..." Snape's voice deepened, "Are you afraid that Delphi will not appear because the Dark Lord was not born? "

Dean was embarrassed for a moment, and after being stunned for a long time, he stammered and asked: "Godfather, I don't understand what you mean."

"Don't pretend to be stupid." Snape said with a cold face, "You have a crush on Delphi."

"It's just a good impression." Dean tried to defend.

"Don't deny it, you know what I mean by good impression..." Snape said in a voice that almost only he could hear: "Just like the good impression I had on Lily."

For the first time, Dean regretted having the hearing power that he was once proud of. He seemed to have heard words he shouldn't have heard. He wondered if Snape would silence him for this...

Of course this is impossible!

But Dean still felt very embarrassed and didn't know how to face or comfort his godfather who was completely immersed in memories of Lily.

This was probably the first time Snape mentioned his feelings for Lily in front of anyone other than Dumbledore.

"Answer me, Dean. Do you have that kind of feeling...love for Delphi?" Snape asked uncharacteristically and aggressively.

"I, I don't know, I think it's a bit too early to talk about this at my age." Dean said in a panic.

Dean, who is not very old in his previous and present lives, has never been in love, so there is no way to accurately judge his feelings for Delphi - Dean admits that his feelings for Delphi are indeed a little different from other women. Same.

A sarcastic smile appeared on Snape's face: "If your feelings for Delphi are true, then for your father's sake, I can give up the method of completely changing history; otherwise I would rather pull that Let’s destroy this dark era together!”

"Don't - please, your idea is too crazy. Even if you kill everyone with the blood of the Gaunt family and let that history cease to exist, Lily will not come back to you." Dean blurted out.

Snape's face suddenly turned horribly pale. He nodded stiffly and said, "Very good, I finally know what you really think."

"I'm sorry, Godfather, I didn't mean to!" Dean was frightened, and he realized how deeply what he just said had irritated Snape.

"Of course I know." Snape turned around suddenly and said in a low voice: "If I don't force you like that, how can I make you face your feelings? I don't want you to wait until you lose it like me. You’ll regret it later.”

"Lost? How is it possible?" Dean couldn't help laughing. "Delphi is the most tenacious person among all the people I have met. I even think that even if I die, she will live well."

"That's just what you think." Snape reminded, "I once naively thought that Lily was strong enough to protect herself. Unfortunately, in the end we all knew what happened. No one knows what happened tomorrow or the accident. First...are you sure that no powerful person will suddenly appear and kill her?"

Dean couldn't help but think of Vivian. Even when he faced Vivian, he felt powerless to resist, let alone Delphi. And if Vivian turned against her, she would definitely have enough reasons to kill Delphi.

Dean suddenly realized that he had made a serious mistake. He took it for granted that even if Vivian wanted to harm them, she would not act in such a hurry.

But he seemed to have forgotten, why would Vivian keep letting them grow to the point where they could resist or threaten her?

Once Vivian discovers that their existence is a hidden danger to her, or that what they do touches her interests, she will probably kill them immediately.

Time suddenly became extremely tight.
