Chapter 30: Inquiry
Since that day, Snape and Gloria have been caught in an endless cold war, Gloria had thought about easing the relationship, but she thought that the fundamental contradiction between the two was Voldemort, and neither of them would retreat from this step, so she didn't try anything, she thought, everything during this time was too fast, too unrealistic, so she was a little confused, plus endless nightmares around her, Gloria felt that she should think calmly.
Snape is also very struggling, he pursues power, he also has enough ambition and ability, which is the fundamental reason why he entered Slytherin as a half-blood, so he is not willing to take this step back, but he is even more reluctant to give up Gloria, so, he does not dare to act rashly, he is afraid that if there is any more argument, everything he dreamed of at hand will be shattered.
The main reason is that the Dark Lord asked Snape about the people in the Pendragon family who had lived a very long life, and lived for nearly seven hundred years, how could Snape not understand the Dark Lord's words, in this regard, he just said in distress that Gloria is very difficult to serve, often angry, and recently I don't know why I'm angry, and I'm ignoring him, but he will do his best to coax her as soon as possible, and then help the Dark Lord ask for the result he wants.
The Dark Lord came from a humble background, and when he was initially weak, he once relied on a handsome face to get along with a few girls in the aristocracy, and he couldn't understand the stupidity and pride of the noble girls, Gloria was only special in his heart, and he was not interested in exploring the "princess disease" of a noble lady, but he was still satisfied with Snape's very good answer, and he valued this hybrid like him more.
Lucius had guessed Snape's thoughts, and he had also inquired about it from the side, but Snape kept silent, and Gloria indifferently said that she didn't know.
"Gloria, would you like some honey water, oh, the honey is so fresh this time. Dumbledore said kindly, the lenses obscured by the rising mist, making it impossible to see the colors in his eyes.
"I'm looking forward to it, Professor, and I hope it's as delicious as you say. ”
Gloria took a sip, her happy eyes narrowed, only at this time, some innocence belonging to a girl would emerge in her, and she was too quiet on weekdays, so that Dumbledore couldn't help but ignore her age.
"Professor, the snacks and tea are delicious, but I don't think you called me here to eat?"
"You're smart, kid. Dumbledore sighed, as if wondering where to start.
"I think it's about my ancestors who lived a very long life, right?"
Dumbledore was stunned, "The Dark Lord's men have already looked for you?"
Gloria shook her head, "Not yet, but I've been asked a few times in Slytherin, but I think it should be at the Dark Lord's behest." ”
"So, child, may I take the liberty of asking, why?" Speaking of this, Dumbledore was also a little curious, there was no one who lived the longest than his friend Nick Meller, but Nick Meller was because of the Resurrection Stone, and he had never heard of it before, and there was no record of it, what was it that the ancestors of the Pendragon family lived so long? Could it really be that there is some magic handed down from ancient times?
Thinking of this, Dumbledore's expression was a little solemn, if there is really such magic, I don't know what the price is, Tom's pursuit of immortality is already a little crazy, no matter what the cost, he will do whatever it takes.
Gloria smiled, "Professor, I've seen you and Nick Meller know each other on the Chocolate Frog card, so you should know that before the Resurrection Stone, there weren't any records or legends that said that there were alchemical items or potions similar to the Resurrection Stone, right?"
Dumbledore nodded, and Gloria continued, "There is a legend that many elves were martyred because they often fell in love with humans, and the difference in lifespan always separated their lovers. ”
When Dumbledore heard the word blood contract, his expression was in a trance for a moment, but it quickly disappeared again, and he nodded suddenly in realization, "I see, in this way, the blood of the elves will be awakened in your body." ”
Gloria nodded, and Dumbledore was a little worried, "This blood pact...... I mean, a contract can only be made by two people who love each other with all their hearts, right? Will you be in danger, my child, you know, your blood will be less and less difficult to hide, I fear ......"
She understood the old man's unfinished words, and felt a warm current flow slowly in her heart, "Don't worry about me, professor, this contract is to prevent people with intentions from deceiving the elves with feelings for the sake of life, as long as one of them is not sincere, then the contract will not succeed." ”
Dumbledore seemed relieved and relaxed, and continued to gently invite Gloria to taste the snacks he had brought back from the Muggle world.
