Chapter 45: Prophecy
Lou Luo stayed at home, boredly looking through a few magic books that he had "borrowed" from the Ministry of Magic.
Originally, the purpose of "borrowing" these books was to find the spell in the name of love, but for so long, there was no record in the books. It is very likely that the source of that spell came from Old Man Deng's guidance, and if this was the case, he would not have to bother so much.
Today, Snape went to the Ministry of Magic. He was very irritable these days, because in these two days, it was Lily's due date, and his daughter was about to be born, but it was not him who was the father.
Imagine that hateful, shameless, calculating James Potter being called daddy by his own daughter, and he felt his heart ache like a pinprick. Lily was his woman, and to this day he still thinks it was his status as a Death Eater that made Lily leave him. Tempted by his position and power, Snape fought fiercely, he loved power, power, and the feeling of being able to control everything. However, he loves Lily more.
Lily can't come back, he knows. The moment Lily knew she was a Death Eater, her eyes filled with disappointment and anger. At the moment of leaving the door, there was even a hint of relief in Lily's final decision, and every time she thought about it, Snape tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
He really regretted that he abandoned the person he loved the most for a so-called dream. And is the Dark Lord he is following really as omnipotent as he imagined? At the very least, he couldn't help himself to have Lily again, even if he was strong enough to kill everyone in the Order of the Phoenix and forcibly retake Lily from that group of people, it would be just a compulsion, and with Lily's resolute character, if he did that, there might be some accidents.
Snape regretted it very much, no one in the Death Eaters except Lou Luo knew why he had been so irritable for the past few months, like a wounded lone wolf, Snape seemed to choose someone to devour anytime and anywhere.
"Sun, I just got a message from the Ministry of Magic!" Snape looked worried when he arrived, "There's a crystal ball there, it records ......"
Sure enough, it wasn't too late for what was supposed to happen, and Snape still found the prophetic crystal ball that recorded that the boy born in July would defeat the Dark Lord, and in this case, Snape's only option was to tell the Dark Lord about it, because at least he was still in the Death Eater camp.
In the past few days, Snape has been running to Loulo twice in three days. It was his only friend left, and besides, that friend had never coveted him anything, at least Snape seemed to be.
For the first time after the loss of his lover, Snape felt that having a friend was such an important thing. When he was about to be swallowed up by his sorrow, he could listen to himself and give himself ideas, although most of the time Lou Luo was eating Haisai on the sidelines. He can get drunk in Muggle hotels with him, he can analyze the situation with him, he can calculate other Death Eaters together, he never likes to get involved himself, he only wants to work behind his back. This was the opposite of himself, Snape felt that he preferred to do everything himself, and he had never been disdainful of messing with things behind his back.
Having Sun Qihang as a friend made Snape feel that he had received unimaginable support and help in his predicament, so during this period of time, the relationship between Lou Luo and Snape has become very iron, and Snape is willing to discuss anything with Lou Luo, the "dog-headed military advisor", in order to achieve perfection.
This prophecy ...... What do you think of the realism? Lou Luo asked with a frown.
"The prophet's surname is Trelawney, and you're not unfamiliar with it, right? She is the descendant of one of the great prophets of history! Snape looked like he had done some research after the fact.
"I've heard of this guy who prophesied through those well-known techniques of astrology, tea, crystal balls, dream interpretation, etc., and with all due respect, according to my investigation, most of them were just swaggers! In the words of fellow prophets, these are "human beings made up to frighten people." It has no practical meaning at all, it is just a means to try to protect his reputation as a prophet by intimidating others. ”
Lou Luo sneered, but it didn't take long for him to frown again: "However, your investigation reminded me. The ability to prophecy cannot be transferred into knowledge, the talent of the prophet only belongs to the prophet herself, she inherited that bloodline, she must have the talent of the prophet, it may ...... She doesn't even know how to activate her skills, and what the crystal ball records is exactly what she inadvertently activates the skills!. ”
"We have to talk about it, and we can't let it rot in our stomachs." Snape frowned, "We can't carry this burden!" ”
"What do you want to say?" Lou Luo's eyes narrowed, "Do you want to tell the Dark Lord, or do you want to tell Dumbledore?" ”
"Dumbledore already knew, to be precise, he was the first to know about this prophecy!" Snape gritted his teeth, in fact, he really considered whether he should join Dumbledore's side, after all, the person he loved the most, and his own daughter were in Dumbledore's camp.
"What did you think about what I said last time?" Lou Luo seemed to be clueless and asked.
"What I said last time ......" Snape was stunned for a moment, but reacted instantly, "I've thought about it seriously, but I still think I can't leave the Dark Lord for the time being." He taught me a lot of dark magic, and I couldn't have reached the level of magic I have today. ”
"You mean that you still intend to be a safe and secure Death Eater?" Lou Luo sneered coldly, "Don't forget Grindelwald, that eloquent dark wizard has not succeeded, the Dark Lord may be similar to that one in terms of ability, but in terms of means...... Do you think the two of them are comparable? Don't forget, Dumbledore is still alive! ”
"People should always have some persistence. The Dark Lord is really nice to me, I can't just leave him for no reason! Snape looked like he was struggling, Lou Luo shook his head, he didn't really want to do that, but Snape's attitude disappointed him.
"Well, it's up to you." Lou Luo shook his head, "Then the prophecy news you just got should be reported quickly, maybe you can get another reward!" ”
