"Professor......" Cynthia still couldn't accept Lily's death, although she told Severus that she would be happy if Lily died, but when it happened, she wasn't happy at all.

"After all, Harry is still alive, Thea......" Dumbledore patted Cynthia on the shoulder and walked towards Severus, who was still crying.

"Thea, have you seen Voldemort?" Dumbledore looked around and asked suddenly.

"No, Professor! When I got to Godric's Hollow, Lily ...... Dead, but I didn't see the Dark Lord. You can ...... Ask Severus. He arrived ...... earlier than me."

"Wait, Professor!" Cynthia suddenly seemed to see something. "Look at Harry's forehead!"

Following Cynthia's fingers, Dumbledore saw a lightning-bolt scar on little Harry's forehead.

"That's ......" Dumbledore walked briskly, bypassing Severus and carrying Harry out.

"This is ......," Cynthia reached out to touch the new scar, "It should be the scar left by the formation after the requisition curse rebounded." ”

"Until now, he hasn't summoned us, so something must have happened. But he won't die, because he asked me to set up a bloody battle for him before. Moreover, he still has ...... Horcruxes. Cynthia closed her eyes, thought for a moment, and then said, "But he should be weaker now." ”

With that, she lifted the sleeve of her left hand, revealing the faint and barely visible mark of the dark devil. "He's not dead yet, but he's just surviving!"

"I see, Thea. I will inform the Ministry of Magic to issue a warrant for the arrest of Peter Pediru. Siris will be fine, you can go back and rest first. Dumbledore nodded.

"Professor, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Hogwarts this semester......" Cynthia said as she gently touched her lower abdomen.

"Why?" Dumbledore was confused.

"I'm pregnant...... I want to wait until the baby is born......" Cynthia looked at Severus with a complicated look in her eyes.

Dumbledore looked at Severus and asked quietly in a low voice, "Does he know?" ”

"Of course I don't know ......"

"Aren't you going to tell him?"

"I'll tell him, as long as he's willing to listen. Then I'll go back first, Professor. Also, the Death Eaters are now in Gaunt's old mansion. Cynthia staggered away.

"Severus......" Dumbledore turned to look at Severus.

Severus looked up, and after the last Hogsmeade, it seemed as if he had spent a hundred years of suffering.

"I thought...... Will you ...... Guarantee her ...... Safety ......" Severus' tears fell in large numbers.

"She and Jaime had mistrusted others," Dumbledore said, "just like you, Severus. Didn't you expect Voldemort to spare her life? ”

Severus's breathing was weak and weak, and he hugged Lily's cold body as if he had lost the whole world.

"Her son survived." Dumbledore said.

"Her son is still alive, and his eyes are exactly the same as his mother's. I guess you must remember Lily Evans' eyes, their shape and color, right? ”

"Don't!" Severus yelled, "It's gone...... Dead ......"

"Is this remorse, Severus?"

"I hope ...... I wish it was me who died......"

"What's the use of that for others?" Dumbledore said coldly, "If you love Lily Evans, if you truly love her, then the path ahead of you is clear. ”

Severus seemed to be in front of his eyes with a fog of pain, and it seemed as if it had taken a long time for Dumbledore's words to reach his ears.

"Y-what did you say?"

"You know how she died, why she died. Don't let her die in vain. Help me protect Lily's son. ”

"He doesn't need protection. The Dark Lord is gone—"

"The Dark Lord will return, and by then, Harry Potter will be in terrible danger."

After a long silence, Severus slowly controlled himself and breathed freely. Finally, he said, "Good. Very good. But never- don't say it, Dumbledore! Only you know and I know! You swear! I can't stand it...... Especially Potter's son...... I want you to swear! ”

"You want me to swear, Severus, that you'll never reveal the best of you?" Dumbledore looked down at Snape's agitated and pained face, sighed, "If you insist...... I promise you. ”

Cynthia returns to the gloomy Gaunt mansion, where the Death Eaters have spotted the faded Dark Mark on her left arm, and Elijah Michelson, who is suddenly out of breath.

"Cynthia, what's going on? Why hasn't the owner returned yet?! Bellatrix saw Cynthia walk in and immediately rushed over and grabbed Cynthia's arm.

"I don't know! The master was gone when I rushed over! Moreover, I have been attacked by the Blood Killing Array! After Cynthia's weak voice rang out, the whole living room fell silent.

After a long time, Bellatrix broke the silence with a scream. "It can't be!"

Then she rushed out with the Lestrange brothers. "We'll find the owner!"

Seeing this, little Barty also wanted to go out, but was stopped by Cynthia. "Barty! Help me, I need your help! ”

Barty Jr. was stunned for a moment, but still stopped, and walked towards Cynthia. "What's wrong, Thea?" He looked at Cynthia's pale little face with concern.

"Lucius!" Cynthia didn't answer his question and called Lucius over again.

"What's wrong, Thea?" Lucius also looked at Cynthia with a puzzled expression.

"The formation backlash is a bit serious...... I...... Will Lucius take us to Malfoy Manor? Cynthia knew that the Aurors would soon come to wipe out the Death Eaters, so she wanted to leave with Barty Jr. and Lucius.

"No problem, it's just ...... As for Mr. Crouch......" Lucius agreed, but wondered why he had taken Barty Crouch Jr. with him.

"I have something to talk to him...... Let's go, I may need some palliatives and blood tonics, I'm sure Malfoy Manor will have them. Cynthia coughed twice, a trail of blood running down the corner of her mouth.

Seeing Cynthia like this, Lucius did not hesitate, and grabbed Cynthia and Barty Jr. and returned to Malfoy Manor through the portkey.

"Luke, you're back! Oh, Merlin! Thea, what's wrong?! Narcissa approached with little Draco in her arms.

"Sicy, the formation has backfired, you take them to Thea's room, and I'll go get the medicine." Lucius let go of his hand, gave a few commands, and hurried to the apothery.

"Come over here!" Narcissa hurriedly walked to Cynthia's room at Malfoy Manor with little Barty in her arms.
