Chapter 8: Fate

Section I

That day, Sauron delivered Fleur to his doorstep, said goodbye, and then apparitioned and left. Back at the hotel, recalling the brief time with Fleur, I felt a trace of inexplicable relief, and then, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile self-deprecatingly.

Early the next morning, Sauron left his room and left Paris.

Colmar is a quiet and beautiful town, with streets filled with the scent of flowers and wine, mixed with a charming atmosphere that is unique to France.

On the street crowded with tourists, a thin middle-aged man, wearing a rough brown tweed suit, his face was pale, he stumbled and ran, looking very weak, attracting the people around him to look at him carefully, and the man kept shouting, "López...... Come on...... He's coming...... Run. ”

Soon, two policemen arrived, and they stopped the man and looked at him alertly.

"Are you alright, sir?" The officer asked.

The man looked at him, still muttering, "Sue Sù López...... He's coming...... Come on...... It's all my fault...... Come on. ”

"Sir, please calm down, can you tell me what happened?" The policeman frowned and said loudly.

The man seemed frightened, he looked at the police fixedly, and then he ran backwards, shouting as he ran, "López...... Come on...... He's coming...... Run...... Leave me alone. After running a few steps, he fell to the ground and fainted.

The police rushed to the hospital, found him unconscious, and called for him to be taken to the hospital.

At night, there was no one in the man's hospital room, and a person appeared in the house out of thin air. He looked around nervously, then walked over to the man's bed. With a wand glowing, look at his face.

"Oh, Merlin is on top." The man with the wand said in surprise. He pointed his wand at the man on the bed, "Rise quickly." ”

The man on the bed opened his eyes and looked very unrefreshed, his eyes were blank, and he began to mumble again, "He's coming...... Lopez...... Come on...... It's all my fault...... I can't resist asking...... He's coming......" He wept and cried, looking scared and nervous.

"How are you here at Boggs, damn it, what's going on, old friend? Who made you like this? The man looked at Boggs helplessly, he understood that Boggs had been tortured for a long time, and now he was very unconscious. Okay, old friend, it's okay, I'll take you away. With that, the man grabbed Boggs and disappeared into the ward in an instant.

In a cottage on the outskirts of town, a man appears in the living room with Boggs. A woman walked up quickly, looking at them worriedly.

"Honey, López, is he okay?" The woman asked in a whisper.

"It's okay, dear." López looked worriedly at Boggs lying on the couch, "Poor guy, it's really him." It seems that he has suffered a lot. What about the child, is he sleeping? ”

"I put him to bed early." The woman whispered, and he looked at Boggs again, "How did he end up like this?" ”

"Don't know?" López shook his head, he frowned, "It seems that someone has been torturing him for a long time, and it seems to have something to do with us." ”

"Something to do with us?" The woman looked nervous when she heard this, "Honey, the person who tortured him can't be a Death Eater, right?" The Ministry of Magic isn't going to do that. ”

"I don't know, but we'd better be prepared, we might be in trouble. If it doesn't work, we'll have to get out of here. López took his wife's hand, "It's all my fault, Arya, if it weren't for me, you and the child wouldn't be in danger." ”

The woman didn't speak, she hugged the man and rested her head on his chest, "It's okay, I love you, López, we'll never be separated." ”

"It's really impressive." A hoarse voice said. The López couple were startled, they turned around and found Boggs lying on the couch who didn't know when to sit up, he looked at the two of them with a cold gaze that made people frightened.

López jerked his wife behind him, pulled out his wand and pointed at the man in front of him, "Who are you?" You're not Boggs. ”

"Clever", Boggs got up from the couch, and then, he began to convulse, looking pained, and made a hehe sound, and a trace of black smoke emanated from his body and seven orifices, condensed in the air, and finally, turned into a man in a black robe. At his feet, Boggs lay motionless, blood pouring from his eyes and nose, looking horrible.

"Who are you?" López shouted loudly, clutching his wand tightly to the person in front of him. His wife was behind her, her body trembling slightly.

"Don't be nervous, relax." The man spoke, his voice low and cold. He removed the hood of his robe, revealing the face of a child, but that did not ease López in the slightest—the child with terrible eyes and golden pupils as sharp as knives, staring at him coldly, and then he fell into an ice cave.

"You...... You're the Potter kid...... You're Sauron......" López stammered.

"You're Pelos? Linkor, it seems that you haven't severed your ties with the wizarding world all these years, and you can recognize me, hum. "Well, then, I guess you know what I'm here for." ”

"I, I don't know what you're talking about." López said nervously, "I just want to live a peaceful life with my wife and children, and I don't want to get involved in trouble anymore." ”

Sauron smiled, "My question is very simple, back then, it was Peter Pettigrew who betrayed my parents, I want to know if he took the initiative to find you, or if you forced him to say it." ”

Pelos looked at Sauron with a complicated expression, "I said, will you let us go?" ”

"I just want to know the truth back then, and I don't want to do anything superfluous."

López hesitated, "When we got the news that Peter Pettigrew was your parents' secret keeper, I caught him, and then he told him what he knew. ”

Sauron frowned when he heard this, "What you said is true?" ”

"It's true, I don't have to lie to you." López looked at Sauron, "He's a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and when the Dark Lord tempted him, he said a word." What's more, he's dead, isn't he, blown to pieces by Sirius. ”

Sauron pondered for a moment, then he looked up, "Thank you, now, say goodbye." ”

Frightened, López pushed his wife away, and shouted at Sauron with his wand, "Get rid of your weapons!" A red light shot at Sauron, and he shouted at his wife, "Go, take the child away, I'll stand in his way!" ”

Sauron sneered and waved his hand to dispel the spell. Raising his wand in his right hand, he said, "Avada suo." A green light shot at López. López recited a spell, and a shield of silver smoke appeared in front of him, and the death curse passed through the shield and hit him, causing López to fall on his back, lifeless.

Sauron pointed his wand at the wall again, and said, "Broken bones", the spell blew the wall to pieces, Sauron walked through the hole, López's wife looked at Sauron in horror, she raised her wand, Sauron waved her hand, she was knocked out, and the wand fell to the side. She staggered to her feet and watched as Sauron held his wand at her, "Please, spare my child......"

Sauron froze, but a green light shot out from the tip of his wand, taking the woman's life. The woman lay on the ground with horror and sorrow on her face. On the small bed behind her, a small child crawled on the bed, staring at Sauron with large, terrified eyes. Sauron looked him in the eye steadily, lowered his wand, and walked to the bed in distraction, slowly reaching out his hand.

"Shhhh A burning pain that reached the soul brought Sauron to his senses, and he looked at the finger that had just touched the child's face, and the bright red burn was so stark. Sauron's face had a complicated expression, and for a long time, he reached out and grabbed the child's neck, choking it tightly, letting the pain from his hand burn his soul.

The child stopped breathing, and Sauron stood still, head down, no expression in sight.

"Uh-huh-hmm...... Hehehehe...... Hahahaha......" Sauron sneered under his breath, and the laughter grew louder and louder, and finally laughed out loud, with a hint of pain and unwilling hatred in his cold laughter.

Harry, who was far away in England, suddenly woke up, and an inexplicable sadness welled up in his heart, which made Harry feel uneasy, and he instinctively thought that something might have happened to Sauron.

Sauron stood outside the hut, looking at the burns on his palms and smiling bitterly. He raised his wand to the hut, and in an instant, a raging black flame engulfed the hut, turning it and the four dead into nothingness. Then, Sauron himself turned into a black fire and disappeared in its place.

O evil fate......

Section II

In the evening, Sauron stood quietly by the guardrail of the bridge, the waters of the Seine flowing slowly under his feet. The sun has sunset below the horizon, and the sparkling river reflects the lilac sunset on the horizon, enveloping the riverside in a soft purple. Forbertol lay on Sauron's shoulder, watching the sunset on the horizon. Pedestrians on the bridge ignored them and continued to come and go in a hurry.

"Is that a phoenix?"

Sauron looked back in surprise, is it Fleur? Delacour, the girl he walked with that night. She looked at him curiously, or rather at the Ford on his shoulder.

"Yes, his name is Forbertol, a dark phoenix." Sauron smiled.

"It's beautiful, it's mesmerizing." Fleur walked up to him, "Can I touch it?" ”

Sauron was a little surprised, "You're not afraid of Forbertol?" It's a dark phoenix. ”

Fleur shook her head and reached out to stroke Phobertol's feathers, but Phobertol meekly did not resist, and looked at Fluffeur with her bright eyes. "It's hard to believe that I'll have the chance to pet a phoenix, and it's a dark phoenix." She turned to look at Sauron, "I can't believe it would surrender to a child, and you don't look as old as I am." What's your name, please? ”

Sauron looked at her beautiful blue eyes and hesitated, "My name is Sauron—Sauron?" Porter. ”

Fleur's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Sauron, "I'm sorry, you mean your name is Sauron?" Porter? ”

Sauron smiled and asked, "What's the problem?" ”

"Oh, sorry. A ...... of you and mine Friends have the same name. Fleur was a little embarrassed, "By the way, you and that boy Harry?" What is the relationship with Porter? ”

"I'm his brother, we're twins, and of course, most people don't know my. What about you, what is your name? ”

"Fleur? Delacour. My mother gave me the name and I went to school in Beauxbatons. Fleur smiled, she hesitated, and asked tentatively, "Your brother is also very good, isn't he, just like you?" ”

Sauron raised an eyebrow, "Why do you ask?" Besides, I'm not great. ”

Fleur showed a sly smile, "Although I am still a student, I know that Phoenix only recognizes the powerful. As for your brother, he was the one who defeated Voldemort. ”

Sauron was stunned for a moment, he turned away, looked at the horizon, and said slowly, "If I sue you, it has nothing to do with power, do you believe it?" The tone revealed sadness and helplessness.

Fleur looked at Sauron, the inexplicable temperament that made her feel familiar, and she whispered, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked." After saying that, she also leaned on the guardrail next to the bridge and looked at the river in the distance. After a while, she said, "By the way, thank you for sending me that night." ”

"You're welcome, it's just a gesture." After saying that, Sauron was stunned, "How do you know?" ”

"I guess." Fleur smiled triumphantly, "The name is the same, but more importantly, you feel familiar to me." I guess that's what you really look like now, you should have drunk the polyjuice decoction that night. ”

Sauron glanced at her, "yes, I drank the Polyjuice Potion. Unexpectedly, Mr. Perfect turned out to be a child. ”

Fleur looked at him and said slowly, "I don't think you look like a child, if I didn't know that you were only twelve, I think the one that night was what you really are." You know, children don't show the same look as you when they look at the scenery, to be honest, you and I feel very mature, even a little vicissitudes, like an old man. After saying that, he smiled mischievously.

Sauron smiled wryly, "Well, it's just that I'm not in a good mood. Something happened, and although I understood it, it was a little uncomfortable. ”

"Would you like to talk to me?" Fleur whispered, "I mean, it's better to say something. ”

Sauron shook his head, "Forget it, it's useless to say it, there are some things that should be borne by one person." "Besides, I'm afraid you won't like to hear it." ”

Fleur's bright blue eyes stared at Sauron, and after a moment, she whispered, "Actually, I know a little bit about you. I asked my father, who worked at the French Ministry of Magic, and I asked him if he had ever heard of Sauron? The name Potter, at first he refused to tell me, and then under my questioning, he told me a little bit about you, do you know what he said about you? ”

Sauron turned to look at Fleur, green eyes to her blue eyes, "What does he say about me?" ”

"He said you're dangerous." Fleur smiled and said, "But I think you're attractive?" ”

"Is it a figure of speech peculiar to the French language to say that a twelve-year-old boy is attractive?" Sauron was helpless, and then he said in a somewhat low tone, "Besides, I am indeed dangerous. ”

"I don't think you're in danger." Fleur said a little mischievously.

Sauron sighed, which made Fleur put away her smile, "What's wrong with you?" She asked cautiously.

Sauron didn't look at her, "I can let you see the real me, but that might scare you, and then you'll think I'm dangerous." ”

"I'm curious." Fleur said in a relaxed tone, but her voice seemed to tremble a little.

Sauron turned around and faced Fleur, he looked into her eyes, the cold golden pupils appeared in front of her, seeing the horror in her eyes, Sauron's heart felt a pang of pain and disappointment for no reason. Sauron was about to turn around, but to his surprise, Fleur grabbed him by the shoulders and looked at him a little stubbornly, even though Sauron could feel her hands trembling slightly. Sauron smiled with satisfaction, and directly hid the golden snake pupils. He could see a faint tear in Fleur's bright blue eyes. "I'm sorry, I might have scared you."

Fleur wiped her eyes a little panicked, and after a while, she whispered, "Your eyes were terrible just now, and I saw endless coldness—" She hesitated, "and loneliness." ”

After hearing this, Sauron looked at her in surprise, and after a long time, he whispered, "Thank you." ”

The two stood face to face, neither of them spoke, and the eerie silence lasted for a long time. Finally, Sauron broke the silence, "I'll send you home." It was getting late. ”

Fleur looked at him, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, no, I still have to wait for someone.

Sauron didn't feel comfortable for some reason, and he smiled a little awkwardly. "Oh, that ......"

Fleur looked at him, and the smile on her face became more obvious, "I'm waiting for the handsome gentleman who walks with me by the river." ”

Solo looked at her in disbelief, but he was very happy in his heart. He also smiled and said, "Actually, I was also waiting for the beautiful lady who walked with me." ”

The Seine flows quietly, and at night, it looks particularly gentle and beautiful......
