Chapter 99 Eternal Love (5th update, 4000 words)
When Harry came to his senses, Lily had strode away without any trace of sloppiness.
Without looking at Snape's father, who was still bullying him, he turned around and followed him.
He didn't want to see the scene here again.
His father's voice could still be heard in his ears.
"Ah, who of you wants to see me take off Snotty's dirty underwear?"
Following his mother all the way back to the castle, he found that his mother was walking to a place that was very familiar to him...
Harry's heart trembled, and he quickly followed, wanting to confirm his guess.
Sure enough...
It's a map secret room.
He remembered what Professor Dumbledore said before, that his mother used an ancient spell to protect him...
It seems that my mother is also the heir to ancient magic?
Lily stopped in front of the door of the map secret room, picked up the ancient magic mark on the ground, and walked into the map secret room.
"Lily?"
Weiwei's voice rang out.
"Weiwei..."
After arriving in the secret room of the map, Lily seemed to have taken off all her guard. She no longer seemed as strong as before, but instead knelt on the ground, covering her face with her hands and crying.
"What's wrong? Lily?" Weiwei's voice was very gentle.
"I...I..."
Lily sobbed and recounted to Velatia what had just happened.
In front of Velatia, Lily didn't hide even a little bit, as if the two of them were best friends who talked about everything.
"I...I still regard him as my best friend despite the eyes of the whole college..." Lily cried, her voice trembling, "His friends cast evil spells on my friends, but he said this was their freedom. ...Everyone is asking me why I make friends with such a person, and everyone is despising me for being a Muggle but being close to Slytherin..."
"I pulled out the wand for him, but what did he do? He...he actually called me a mudblood. It turns out that in his heart, I have always been such a lowly existence, and I am not worthy of being his friend..."
Lily looked really sad, she was crying so hard.
"Lily." Vivi comforted softly: "People will lose their minds when they are extremely angry. Mr. Snape may have just made an unintentional mistake."
"Inadvertent mistake?" Lily sobbed and said, "Even if it is an unintentional mistake, such words are too much. What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong..."
"You didn't do anything wrong, Lily." Velatia said warmly, "What was wrong was those scum who are pretentious and think that their bloodline is superior to others..."
The voices became quieter and quieter after that, and Harry didn't know what they were talking about.
Once again, there was another round of spinning in front of me.
It was his older mother who appeared in front of Harry again.
Lily's body has lost part of her childishness, and she seems to be more confident and dazzling than before.
"Weiwei!"
She was greeting the girl in the portrait.
"Do you have anything interesting to share with me?" Weiwei's violet eyes are so beautiful.
"I've been a little troubled recently -" Lily stood in front of the portrait and said with a troubled expression, "You know, the Potter I always told you about before - he pursues me endlessly and says he can do anything for me. Things, everything can be changed..."
Harry noticed that Vivi's expression was stunned for a moment.
Seemingly struggling for a moment, Weiwei said: "I think Potter is a good choice..."
"Ah?" Lily raised her head, "You can't persuade me to choose Potter just because your good friend is also a Potter, Vivi——"
"What more can you ask for from a man who is willing to make changes for you?" Weiwei seemed to be sighing softly, "Seize this opportunity, I believe Potter is serious."
"Okay - I will consider your suggestion..." Lily scratched her fiery red hair.
"It's not a suggestion, it's a prophecy." Weiwei said softly.
Although Vivi said this, Harry still noticed that her hands were holding her hair unnaturally.
This is her lie.
Why...why did she lie to her mother?
……
"Weiwei!"
What appeared in front of Harry again was a slightly mature Lily.
Her belly was slightly swollen, and she had a maternal glow about her.
"Lily, it seems you are pregnant, congratulations."
Weiwei said very happily.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm pregnant."
Lily stretched out her hand to touch her belly and said to Weiwei happily.
Velatia put the book in her hand on the table in the portrait and said to Lily: "I think you must have given birth to a boy this time..."
"Why?" Lily asked with interest.
"You forgot, I have the gift of prophecy." Velatia said, fiddling with her hair.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot." Lily stuck out her tongue and asked again: "If it's a boy, I think... it should be called Harry. I still remember the one you told me about was named Harry. Potter's deeds - eh, he's your good friend, right? I hope my child will be as strong as him."
"He will." A bright smile appeared on Weiwei's face, as dazzling as her hair.
The screen rotated again.
"Wormy, Pads——"
Lily's voice sounded as she held a large bowl with beef stew in it.
Little Harry was sitting on a stool not far away, seemingly holding a milk bottle in his hand.
"Oh my god, what does this smell like?!" Lily put the bowl on the table and roared: "James? Honey? How many times have I told you! You must close the door when you go to the toilet!"
"Sorry, sweetheart -" James's voice sounded from the room, "I'm brewing the potion..."
The man whom Lily called "Slab" laughed happily. He took back the hand that was teasing Harry with the small broomstick, used his elbow to crook the short and fat man sitting next to him, and said with a smile: "Look Ah, James’ potion talent is still as indescribable as ever.”
The short and fat man was amused by Banban's words, holding his belly and laughing.
"Okay, you two."
Lily knocked on the table and ordered to the two people: "You, Banban, go take out the garbage - Chongchong, you go to the Muggle neighborhood to buy some black pepper. We have run out of black pepper at home."
< br>
"Yes, ma'am!"
The two reached out and high-fived together and walked out happily.
Harry watched his mother enter the kitchen, and soon commanded the wand to float a basin of soup to the dining room.
After putting down the basin of soup, Lily asked loudly: "James? My dear? Are you still brewing the potion?"
What Harry didn't expect was that there was a rustling sound coming from the toilet.
James's irritated voice came: "No, sweetheart, I'm going to the bathroom-"
Harry burst out laughing. He didn't expect his parents to get along so well.
It seems... Lily obviously has three older children - James, Banban and Chongchong. ……
The screen rotated again, and Harry returned to the secret map room with his mother.
Harry noticed that the mother who appeared in front of him this time looked worse than before, even a little tired.
"Weiwei..."
My mother's voice was no longer full of energy as usual, but tired.
"Long time no see, Lily." Vivi said briskly, "Your little Harry...should be almost one year old, right?"
When she heard 'Little Harry', Lily burst into tears.
Vivi was a little flustered, and this was the second time Harry saw this look on her face - the last time was the moment he was hit by Lanlock's curse.
"Viv, Professor Trelawney made a prophecy." She knelt on the ground, looking very helpless. "She said that a person with the energy to conquer the Dark Lord was born and appeared in a place where he had defeated the Dark Lord three times. The head's family - born at the end of the seventh month, the Dark Lord marks him as his rival, but he has powers that the Dark Lord does not understand... One must die at the hands of the other, because both cannot live , only one survives...the one with the energy to conquer the Dark Lord will be born at the end of the seventh month."
When Vivi heard Lily's words, she was stunned for a moment, then spoke again to confirm: "You mean, prophecy? Professor Trelawney... what is her relationship with Cassandra Trelawney?"
"She is the great-great-granddaughter of the prophet." Lily wiped her tears and said, "Her prediction... is very accurate."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"This should be something to be happy about, why are you crying?" Weiwei asked.
"Because...because this prophecy was found out by the Dark Lord somehow. He wants...he wants to do something to us..." Lily sobbed.
"Are you scared?" Weiwei asked.
"No, I'm not afraid of death, but Harry..." Lily said sadly: "Harry is less than a year old... How can you let a child defeat the Dark Lord? Only one of them can survive. , my poor Harry...he...he hasn't had time to see the world, he hasn't had time to learn interesting magic, and he hasn't even had time to play Quidditch - you haven't seen him riding a broomstick, really. So cute...but...how could it be so cruel...how could it..."
When Harry saw his mother looking so helpless, he couldn't help but shed tears.
No one can remain calm before his mother's tears.
Weiwei was silent for a long time.
Just when Harry thought Vivi was going to remain silent, he didn't expect her to speak.
"Lily, we... are the descendants of ancient magic."
Weiwei said softly.
"I know that the evil Dark Lord used some kind of black magic to make him invincible, but..."
"But what?" Lily heard the twist in Velatia's words, and hope ignited in her eyes.
Weiwei paused for a long time.
Harry saw the struggle and entanglement in her expression.
"Weiwei..." he murmured.
"I know a magic spell, an ancient magic spell." Vivi said softly, "This ancient magic spell can not only transfer your ancient magic inheritance to Harry, but can even cast a protective spell on him. Let him be permanently insulated from the damage of the Cruciatus Curse and the Death Curse, and it will be reflected back to those with malicious intentions..."
Lily's emerald eyes flashed with hope.
"Teach me, Weiwei, I...I am willing to learn..."
A trace of unbearability flashed in Weiwei's eyes.
"Lily, you have to know that such a curse comes with a price..."
Lily said firmly: "Tell me, no matter what the price, I can accept it - as long as it allows Harry to live healthily and happily."
"You..."
Velatia closed her eyes.
"Really willing to pay..."
Harry saw that his mother's expression became extremely determined.
"Anything!"
Hearing Lily's words, Velatia nodded lightly.
An ominous premonition arose in Harry's heart.
Weiwei's voice was gentle, but with a hint of trembling.
"This curse... requires you to pay the price with your life. It requires you... to die in front of little Harry as a sacrifice to protect the curse..."
"No! Mom! Don't!"
Harry shouted loudly, but he couldn't reach Lily's ears.
"Weiwei! Don't tell her! Don't teach her this curse!"
However,
This is just a memory.
Lily's expression was extremely determined. She nodded calmly and said to Velatia: "I am willing. For Harry, I am willing to give everything, even my life!"
Harry watched helplessly as his mother followed Vivi's movements in the portrait and carved a mysterious ancient spell on her arm. He shouted and tried to stop it, but it was unable to affect the mother in his memory at all.
He stretched out his hand to pull at his mother in vain, trying to stop her movement, but he could only catch her in vain.
He would rather die like this than see his mother give her life to protect him.
The spell was completed, and a violet light flashed on Lily's arm.
"Thank you, Weiwei."
A bright smile appeared on Lily's face again, and the bright girl was back.
But she saw that Weiwei in the portrait was already squatting on the ground.
"I'm sorry, Harry, I'm sorry..." she murmured.
Lily didn't know what her words meant, but she just said to her in a brisk tone: "Don't worry, Vivi, this is of my own free will. No matter what... Harry won't blame you... Well, let's do this. I copied part of the memory in the pensieve..."
"I suggest you make more copies so that Harry... can take one more look at you, preferably his father and your former best friend." Vivi's tone was gentle.
“A good suggestion.”
Lily smiled happily, walked to the Pensieve, reached out and took out the wand and put it on her temple. Strands of silver-white silk threads were pulled by the wand, picked out from the temples, and melted into the Pensieve.
"Perhaps this is the last time we meet, Weiwei." Lily said softly, "Thank you for your constant teaching..."
"Professor..."
Vivi's eyes became sad, and she looked at Lily with a pair of violet eyes.
"get out of class is over." Her voice trembled.
"Goodbye, Weiwei!"
Lily raised her right hand high and waved it vigorously at Weiwei, with an extremely happy smile on her face.
Then, she turned around and walked toward the door with brisk steps.
The memory stopped abruptly at this moment.
Harry pulled his head out of the pensieve, reached out and grabbed his collar, and breathed hard.
The sound of footsteps still echoed in my ears, as if my mother had just left the secret room of the map.
