No.8 Holy Grail 6 (Reversed)

The plot is starting to go off track. Speaking of which, in fact, since Sirius ran out before the second year of school I arranged, the plot itself has begun to deflect, and the third year ...... It can be said that it is an eventful season......

But it doesn't matter, anyway, my Xiaoao's sesame bag is still very safe.

This chapter continues to foreshadow, but this foreshadowing has already been written in the second volume, so it can only be regarded as a rehash of the same old tune...... Timeline, parallel time and space, it's a pretty troublesome thing, huh.

===================================================

Holy Grail 6 (Reversed): Bad memory.

Diagon Alley, England

The summer soon ended with a lion, four small snakes, and a dog fighting with each other, and in order to avoid trouble, Harry moved out of Cappadocia Manor in Opal a few days early, and was taken to the Weasley house by the twins.

Of course, the only person to see off at that time was Opal, otherwise Harry felt that with the personality of the twins, if Draco, Pansy, and Blaise were also present at that time, the scene would definitely become quite chaotic.

It's just that Harry can only secretly admire the good relationship between Opal and the twins and the familiar interaction that was obviously not established in a day or two - but he also felt that it was a little natural, after all, Harry thought that Opal's character was so good, it was difficult to have someone who could really hate her, right?

At least Harry felt that if something really happened, he probably wouldn't be able to hate Opal in the first place. (Celestial: It can be seen that for a Gryffindor, making a good first impression is the only way to make a good friend.) )

After that, Harry managed to reunite with his friends Hermione and Ron, and of course, he was once again broken by his impulsiveness during the holidays. Ron said that he had always been haunted that it was Opal who helped Harry avoid the trouble of the Ministry of Magic, of course, and then he was violently suppressed by Hermione when he was saying bad things about Slytherin, and Harry calmly looked away from the side, pretending not to see Ron's distress gaze at all.

Seeing his friends from the same house again made Harry feel happy, and the pleasant experience of spending time with the four Slytherins during the holidays, and Opar's kind reminder at the end, also taught him what to say and what not to say - people always have to learn to deceive with good intentions, otherwise it will be difficult to calm down by always telling the truth.

It was Harry's deepest feeling after being read by his two friends all afternoon.

Although Pansy and Blaise had helped him with the books, after receiving the owl's third-year book list, he made a trip to Diagon Alley with Ron and Hermione to fill in the missing books. But...... After watching the "Monster Book of the Monsters" that made the Blotchy bookstore ramp up with the same birthday present Hagrid gave him, Harry twitched the corners of his mouth and accepted the fact that there was probably one class in the third year, and it was not peaceful.

As for the Defence Against the Dark Arts class...... In fact, after all the baptisms in the first and second grades, even Hermione no longer expects anything from the teacher who teaches this subject.

"No matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than that straw bale peacock vase Lockhart in the second grade, right?"

These were Hermione's words with an unknown black aura behind her, which made Ron and Harry on the side look sideways, and then very wisely kept silent about it.

After Hermione bought a cat named Crook Hill as her pet, and Spotted, who had been staying on Ron's body, was so frightened that he jumped out of Ron's body in a panic, causing chaos in the pet store - and since then, Ron has been in a state of low pressure and Hermione is in a state of cold war, because Spotted can't find it after he runs out.

Of course, Ron didn't know that in the box on the other side of the Blotted bookstore in Diagon Alley, the mouse named Spotted was hovering above the left hand of a silver-haired and red-eyed girl, but it fell asleep and did not move after the girl skillfully poured it with a few drops of potion.

And beside the girl, a big black dog with a bright coat and a well-proportioned body was staring at the mouse with hatred - Fang Cai, if it weren't for the girl's quick movements, I'm afraid that Banban would have died directly in its mouth.

[Don't be so excited.] ]

The other hand patted the big dog's neck soothingly, and the corners of the girl's mouth slightly hooked up a slight arc, [Some things, let's talk about it when we get to school.] I think Headmaster Dumbledore would be interested in this mouse. ]

I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting thing just to come to Tumbledown Alley to buy something. Like the big black dog, it has a highly intelligent mouse, and looking at the reaction of the big black dog, it seems that the two animals still know each other?

Well, I really should take the time to look through Pansy's memories a little one day, otherwise this feeling of something happening and not being able to grasp anything is really annoying, anyway, Pansy has always been defenseless against her, and it is easy to fool. (Pansy: Hmm, why is there a sudden chill?!) )

The big dog barked twice at first, as if to express his disapproval, but after hearing the girl mention Dumbledore's name, he didn't bark again.

[Gone, I still have a lot of things to deal with.] Well, by the way, you don't mind catching this mouse for me, right? ]

Shoved the mouse back under the Great Black Dog's paws, the girl's hand pressed against its collar, using the portkey she had with her.

The light flashed, and a man, a dog, and a rat left without attracting anyone's attention.

And in the store, after a period of panic, Harry looked at Ron, who was not in good spirits because of the loss of his pet, and pursed his lips but didn't say anything, just pulled Hermione together to pay for an owl that Ron had always wanted, of course, he didn't say anything "compensation" on the surface, but just said that Hegway was lonely and unaccompanied, so he bought one by the way, and asked Ron to take care of it occasionally.

And so the matter was resolved without a hitch.

Ha, Griffin multi-style feelings.

Then, inexplicably, looking at Ron's renewed smile, and Hermione's helpless expression rolling his eyes on the side, Harry thought of the almost identical exclamation and the hint of mockery that Draco, Pansy, and Blaise could almost describe as "exactly the same" when Gryffindor was inadvertently mentioned in the Cappadocia Manor.

It seems that some of them understand......

The emerald eyes behind the lenses flashed, and then the light silently vanished.

==========================I'm the dividing line ===================== the switch scene

King's Cross Station, United Kingdom

After a while of panic that made people feel like they wanted to go black when they thought about it, everyone boarded the express train to Hogwarts without any problems.

Bidding farewell to the Weasleys, Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked down the hallway, looking for empty carriages, but because they arrived late, all carriages were almost full, except for the last carriage.

There were unexpectedly two people in the carriage, one of whom was wearing a shabby-looking wizard's robe, patched in several places. He looked sick and tired, and though he looked young, Harry had noticed that the wizard's pale brown hair was already mixed with a little gray hair.

And the person he talked to......

"Opal?!"

Hallileo let out a stunned startled voice.

And the two people, who had stopped talking because of the action of several people opening the carriage door, were looking at them standing at the door. Opal then smiled: "Someone is coming, so it's time for me to give way.] Professor Lupin, I look forward to your teaching this academic year. Well, this big dog of mine is in your hands to take care of it. ]

"Walk slowly."

The wizard bowed slightly, and smiled at Opal with a faint but warm feeling, "This time, I really need to thank you. ”

A small metal cage covered with cloth was sitting at his feet, and the big black dog that was lying at the wizard's feet, wagging his tail because he saw Harry, barked twice.

[No problem.] To each his own, he takes what he needs. ]

Opal smiled and bowed politely, then turned around and bowed slightly at Harry and Hermione, then ignored Ron's muttering and left the carriage.

She didn't see the fleeting look of sadness in the eyes of the wizard and the big black dog who were staring at her back after she turned, and who was missing someone through her.

"Why did she come here on purpose?"

Staring at Opal's back with some resentment, Ron was just muttering in a customary way, but after being taught so many times by Harry and Hermione, he had finally learned to be polite when confronting Opal alone, which was rarely seen alone, as she was usually surrounded by other Slytherin students, especially a minor platinum nobleman.

Over there, Harry was already happily and cheerfully pounced on his big dog, and a moment later Ron joined in.

Strange to say, Crookshan, who was taken by Hermione, seemed to have a good relationship with this big dog. Hermione, on the other hand, was very polite in talking to the wizard author who seemed to be supposed to be a professor in Defence Against the Dark Arts.

It's a peaceful and nostalgic scene, isn't it?

While talking to Hermione about magic, the wizard couldn't help but smile as he looked at the two people and a dog who were playing.

After returning to Malfoy's exclusive carriage, Opal sat down in his special seat and pulled out a copy of "Advanced Potions Analysis" and read it, while Draco, Brace, and Pansy on the side knew that she didn't like to be disturbed when she was reading, so they played the Muggle game that Opal taught them - fighting the landlord.

By the way, in Slytherin, Opal's recommended Muggle games such as Landlord Fighting, Mahjong, Strong Chess, and Count Twenty-Four are considered to be casual games that have swept the entire academy, and are much more popular than wizarding chess anyway.

The Hogwarts Express made steady heading north, the scenery outside the window getting wilder and darker, and the clouds overhead getting thicker. Outside the door of their carriage, there were people walking back and forth incessantly. Then, by about the afternoon, the sky began to rain, and the outline of the rolling hills outside the window blurred.

Then, as if to foreshadow something, the rain grew heavier, and the window panes took on a thick, sticky gray that deepened until the lights in the hallway and on the luggage racks came on. The train swayed, the rain knocked on the windows, and the wind howled.

[……]

Suddenly putting down the book in his hand, Opal looked up at the window.

This feeling......

"Opal, what's wrong with you?"

Somewhat strange at her movements, Draco looked sideways at her, "Still hungry?" I still have some snacks here. ”

[Stay here and don't move.] ]

Just as Opal looked at them earnestly and gave this advice, the slower and slower train suddenly shook and stopped.

Even in a well-soundproofed private box, you can hear a "popping" sound outside, indicating that luggage has fallen off the shelf.

Then, all of a sudden, all the lights went out, and they were thrown into complete darkness.

"O'...... Opal?! ”

Draco subconsciously shouted.

At this moment, a soft light lit up in the black box, and then spread throughout the box, and it was Opal who silently cast a "Lumos.Maxima".

[Stay here and don't move.] ]

After emphasizing it again, Opal stopped Draco from following her out, then glanced thoughtfully at Pansy, who had shrunk behind Blaise and pulled out a small bag of chocolates a little nervously, and then walked out of the box.

Then, she saw a figure that was gradually coming out of the depths of the hallway, and heard screams coming from the surrounding room.

Wearing a cloak, his face is completely hidden under his turban, and his height reaches the ceiling...... Dementors.

Chilly.

Abhor.

Disgusting.

Hate.

The reason why human beings are greedy and work hard is because their lives are too short to see the decline of prosperity. 〗

The whole world was silent, and there was not a single sound, and it was full of decay, the remains of war that she didn't know how many times she had seen.

Collapse in a twisted spiral is the end of the development of primate knowledge. 〗

No one knows how many times the succession of rise and fall has been reincarnated, and no one knows how many victims have disappeared with that rise and fall.

Historical records are only brief numbers that determine the end of a species.

How do you choose? 〗

The emerald green lawn stretched as far as the eye could see, the sky was a crisply clean pure blue, and the sun was so bright that there was not even a trace of floating clouds. The blood-colored path spread out in the shape of a tree, and the iron-gray stone tombstones on both sides were neatly lined up like a lawn.

Each tombstone represents a species that has gone extinct.

And the "Qi tribe" representing Riddle is among them.

So how do you, who are destined to bear this "sin", choose? 〗

It develops because of desire, it is distorted because of desire, and it ends because of desire.

On which tombstone will the human beings who committed such a grave crime be inscribed?

Endure humiliation and coexist or resolutely break up, the choice is yours. 〗

I don't need to!

Because you are the "Lord" we have chosen. 〗

This is not the identity I was expecting!

Giving everything for the "Lord", we have no regrets. 〗

I am not your savior!

What does Riddle's absence have to do with me even if it is destroyed?!

Dreams that I once thought had been blurred with the passage of time clearly surfaced on the surface of consciousness. The fear of loss has turned the once colorful world into black and white.

It's so heavy that it's breathless and suffocating.

It's about power, it's about responsibility, it's about choice.

As the son of Gaia, even if you don't like it, you can't refuse or ignore such a scene. Identity represents glory and status and rights, but no one has ever wondered if such an identity is what she expects.

Even if you don't like it, you can only accept it.

But admitting this power, this responsibility, is just to better protect the existence you want to protect, if the person you want to protect is gone, then this world has nothing to do with her!

[You ugly guys......]

The conflict between the racial camps, coupled with the gray dreams that appeared on the surface of consciousness, caused the magic pressure on Opal's side to soar higher and higher, and then, erupted.

[Get.Out! ]

The silvery-white mist accompanied by a whirlwind that swept across the train aisles, spreading all the way.

White scales, blue eyes.

The silver python, which had manifested its form as if it had been summoned, condensed its form in the mist, hissed, and rushed towards the disgusting monster without Opal's command.

As if purified, the monster screamed, and then vanished with a sound that seemed to be something exploding.

After that, the silver python penetrated the carriage and appeared on the periphery of the Hogwarts Express, destroying the several identical Dementors that had already appeared in the carriage in the same way, and then forming a snake formation to protect Opal, who was a little shaky due to the magic riot.

Raising his head and looking at the blue eyes of the silver python that was unexpectedly looking at him with gentle eyes, Opal was a little stunned.

These eyes really look like Riddle......

Eventually, she lost consciousness and fainted on top of her Patronus.
