Chapter 747: Interpretation of "Sin".
Regarding the point of "forbidden to step into the formation", Maca clearly reminded him. Whether it was Lucius, who was here at first, or Narcissa, who had just returned home, he said it very clearly.
Because of this, when Narcissa could not stand her son's pleas and subconsciously wanted to move forward, Snape's reaction could not be described as unpleasant.
Although almost no one noticed for a moment, it was clear that Snape was trying to cast a spell to stop Narcissa's actions. And with his spell-casting speed, he can easily block the opponent's unwise actions with just a wave of his wand.
But at that moment, Maka, who was warning others not to set foot in the formation from beginning to end, pulled Snape's sleeve without a trace.
When Snape turned his wand to look at Maca in confusion, the latter still stared at Draco, even with a hint of surprise on his face.
In fact, as you can tell from all the previous signs, Draco's clarity is not to be underestimated. If he still has the strength to take a look at Maca's side at this time, he may immediately realize that he is afraid that he has fallen for Maca again!
As Narcissa swooped into the formation, she took two steps in three steps and came to Draco's side, and she immediately hugged her poor child.
"Oh...... Don't be afraid, Draco...... Mommy is here! β
You can imagine the feeling that Narcissa is now holding her son...... It's probably not much different from holding a big rock.
Yes, most of the petrification on Draco hasn't been removed! The hard, cold touch is mostly uncomfortable.
But Narcissa knew very well that she was holding her precious son, and that was enough.
"Kid...... Don't worry, there's a mom here! As long as mom is here, she will definitely find a way to make you better...... Mom has been to a lot of amazing therapists during this time, and several of them have already made appointments, and they will definitely be able to say goodbye to those terrible nightmares forever......"
Narcissa hugged Draco cautiously, muttering as she spoke, and from the words she spoke, it seemed that her anomalous knowledge of Draco was still stuck in the nightmares of the past.
And the second Narcissa hugged Draco, Draco's violent gasps seemed to be much lighter. There is some kind of change that takes place in its body......
He was quiet...... Did Narcissa make a difference? Snape shook his sleeve and motioned for Maca to let him go.
"Yes," Marca then let go of her left hand gripping Snape's sleeve, "that's what Professor Dumbledore taught me...... He once said to me: The most powerful force in the world is called 'love'. β
"Mother...... ...... pro"
As if to match Maca's words, Draco let out a faint call from his mouth. This sentence "mother" is different from the previous sentences, as if it contains a particularly delicate warmth.
Almost as a matter of course, Draco's soft side was awakening.
"Hmph, it's really Dumbledore's style......" Snape whispered noncommittally.
"It does sound like goosebumps...... "Maca shrugged her shoulders as she stared at the mother and son, "but that's just a way of calling it...... If we want, we can actually call it something else......"
ββ¦β¦ For example? β
Although Dumbledore's statement was always difficult for Snape to agree, the wisdom of the great wizard was something that Snape also deeply admired.
And Maca, on the other hand, is another outstanding wizard of the new generation that Snape has to sigh about, and compared to Dumbledore, Maca's view of everything in the world always coincides with his.
Therefore, Snape was indeed eager to hear what Maca had to say about Dumbledore's words.
"Well, actually, I just understood, for example, it can be called ......"
As she spoke, Maca lifted the staff in her right hand, and almost at the same moment, Draco's throat, who was in her mother's arms, suddenly began to make a soft "Titicaca" sound.
"Sin!"
In the moment of Draco's sudden change, Maca thumped her staff to the floor. Immediately after, his magic power was quickly transmitted along the body of the staff to the rune array on the ground, and spread out all at once.
As the surging spread of the magic power, the striped paths and the magic words in the array all emitted a faint blue light in the blink of an eye. It didn't take long for Draco and Narcissa, who were still in the middle of the array, to be overwhelmed by the seemingly real curtain of light.
As for what he said earlier, "it is forbidden to step into the formation", it is obvious that it is foolish.
"Narcissa-Draco-" Professor. β
Lucius, who was standing outside, saw it and quickly wanted to do something. Seeing this, Maca immediately glanced at Snape, who simply cast a spell to freeze Lucius in place.
"'Love and sin' may sound relative, but in fact they are one."
Through the blue glow in the rune array, Maca looked at Draco, who was being hugged tighter by her mother. It can be seen that a pitch-black shadow gradually emerges behind Draco, and is constantly being dragged away from his body by some force.
"Draco was attached to an energy that amplifies sin in people's hearts, and I think that was instilled in him by Voldemort......"
But even though too great a sin has completely suppressed love, love is still there. Unless that energy completely infects Draco's spirit, there must be hope. β
After hearing this, Snape said thoughtfully, "If you want to encroach on Draco's spirit, you have to mobilize energy; And once the energy is mobilized, it is equivalent to giving you the opportunity to pull it out? β
"That's right."
Maca nodded, her attention still focused on the running formation, keeping an eye on the situation inside.
"Don't worry, ma'am, just keep holding Draco, it won't be long before you'll have a good son who is alive and well!"
Narcissa's embrace was crucial, as it brought out the pent-up side of Draco's heart and guided her son's spirit step by step towards normalcy.
This process of recovery will in turn trigger the dormant energy in Draco's body, and spontaneously try to continue to expand the other side of 'sin'.
But this is exactly what Maca wants.
Nestissa, who was in the midst of the rune array, was terrified by the large number of dark blue magic inscriptions that surrounded her and her son. But when she saw her son's eyebrows gradually stretched, she suddenly felt that nothing mattered.
Truth be told, the sight of a mother hugging her child in the midst of the crystal blue light and mist is usually emotional. But Snape, who was standing aside at this time, was not interested in this at all.
He was just thinking back to what Maka had done to make this happen.
Maca first talked to Lucius, so that the other party was fully prepared, but instead failed to reveal the purest feelings, allowing Draco to take advantage of the verbal advantage;
Then, he took advantage of Draco's slight smugness to lead the other party by the nose with a strategy that might fail. It's best if it does, but even if it does fail, it can be a distraction.
Until the end, the moment Narcissa appeared, I am afraid that it will be the moment of the real final word.
If there is one of the biggest uncertainties in this process, it is undoubtedly the time when Narcissa will return home. But even this is in the hands of Maca......
"Almost."
Snape, who was looking back a little on the whole day, was interrupted by Maca's words. He shook his head slightly, then looked in Draco's direction like Maca.
Maca could "see" the shadow energy behind it through her sense of magic, but Snape couldn't. So what he was concerned about was the change in Draco's expression.
Since Draco was still being held tightly by his mother Narcissa at this moment, he could only see a side face when he looked over from this side.
But just a glance at it was enough for him to notice that Draco's face had lost its previous treacherous appearance, and had become incredibly calm.
Maca held the staff in her right hand and took out a small dark gem with her left hand around her waist.
But he saw that he was holding the gem in one hand, and he waved his staff directly with the other, incorporating that strange energy into the gem in one fell swoop.
After the rune array lost the continuous supply of magic power, and the faint blue light gradually dimmed, Maca holding the gem could be seenβthere seemed to be a slight flow in the gem, just looking at it, it was actually quite beautiful.
Of course, if you add the fine lines engraved on the surface of the gemstone, this thing can hardly be called "beautiful". If I had to say it, there was only one word to describe it, and that was "weird".
"Professor, it's time to lift the bondage spell for Mr. Malfoy."
After tucking the gem back into her pocket around her waist, Maca said as she walked over to Narcissa and Draco's mother and son.
While Snape cast the counter-spell, he had to remove any remaining petrification from Draco's body. As for the thing of "letting the frightened mother and son enjoy more warm moments", it is better to wait until everything that should be done is done.
More than half an hour later, in the small living room on the second floor.
"Narcissa, you...... Didn't you say you wouldn't be back until after McMillan had lunch at his house? Why, did their family end their luncheon so early today? β
Lucius was surprised that his wife had come home early.
After all, the timing of her return was so accurate that it was as if it were ...... It's as if you knew what was going on at home, didn't you?
