Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 493: Spider’s Tail Alley
A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Appoint Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Cold! It's very cold!
Maca is now lying on the snow and pretending to be dead. It was freezing cold, and it really made him experience the feeling of being so cold that the joints all over his body began to stiffen.
In addition to this, he had to distract him. After he used Transfiguration to conjure a fake soul that looked like Snape, he would do his best to stabilize his soul, otherwise he would be shaken out of the body by the power of the round mirror.
To be honest, almost all the difficulties from the beginning to the end of this plan are concentrated here. Although he was in Hermione's house before, he had also made some preparations for this, but who knows if anything will happen?
Even if the scam has gone smoothly so far-just now, he pretended to be Snape and mocked Harry fiercely, bringing Snape's annoying side to life, and finally paying With Hermione's cooperation, she turned back and left with a sullen face in an unwilling manner.
But it was so smooth, but it made him more cautious.
Fortunately, this time, the mysterious time rules did not cause him any other accidents. When he finally got to the end of the ticking in his ears, he suddenly let out a long sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, he could not wait to get up, and quickly withdrew from the scope of the floor-to-ceiling mirror. In order to ensure that the whole scene is foolproof, he also looked back specifically.
"Very well, already gone." Maca muttered softly, looking at some place in the distance.
Last time, he decided to use the time converter again immediately so as not to delay time. This time, of course he still had the same idea.
Although it’s the same five hours backtracking each time, there will always be some delays. He still doesn't know how many times he will go back, so he must embark on the next journey as quickly as possible. This was repeated until he completely resolved the incident.
This is the third time he has used the time converter. To be honest, he deliberately felt it every time, trying to catch some clues about the time rule rune in the process of tracing back time.
Unfortunately, let alone any rule rune, he couldn't even discover the more features of the time rule.
But at least, he has a good direction on how to break the deadlock.
Not long after, when he broke away from the state of retracing time, he left here with the door key as soon as possible. Last time he sorted out his thoughts before going to Hermione's house, so now, he still has a chance to get there first.
……
About half an hour later, Spider's Tail Alley.
This is a dilapidated town on the outskirts of Cokworth. It is lonely leaning against a murky creek. The town is full of dilapidated old houses. To the north of the town, there is a whole area of abandoned factories. The sparse street lights flicker and go out, extending to the depths of those factories.
In this pre-dawn night, this gloomy town is like a ghost town directly moved from a Muggle horror story.
At this moment, a thin figure suddenly appeared in an empty alley. He was wearing a black robe, and drifted silently with his fast trot, but he was inconspicuous in this black alley.
This man seems to have something important, and he walks along his way. But even at this time, his gloomy eyes still scanned everything in front of him in this alley, showing his disgust for this place.
What is it that makes him hate this place so much? So that when you set foot on this land, you will show this expression of impatience to the extreme?
He walked very fast, with great steps, just turned a corner, and came to the door of a house within a few steps. This old house is similar to the other buildings around it. It looks so dilapidated, but at least, it is one of the few houses here that is still lit.
"Squeaky——" "Bang!"
With a distressing sound of opening the door, the man walked in without hesitation and closed the door by the way.
"Severus, you are back."
"Hmm."
Not long after he entered, there were two slight conversations inside the door. The man's voice is still cold, with a hint of irritability; while the woman's voice is still cowardly, but it contains a rare joy.
"Didn't I tell you? Don't wait for me to come back today, why are you still sitting here?"
"Oh, sorry, but—"
"Nothing but!"
"Okay, okay... I'll go to sleep... I'll leave you food on the table..."
"I see."
"...oh."
After that, the simple conversation between the two ended here, and with a string of inaudible footsteps, it seemed that the woman had gone upstairs.
None of them noticed. Right now, by the window outside the house, an uninvited guest was standing, and the conversation in it was heard word by word.
It was Maca who was standing outside following Snape. He knew that the woman who had spoken to Snape was definitely Tia.
Just before, he arrived at Granger's house before the self he was last time, and surreptitiously left a mark on Snape's body. And this time, he won't have to deal with it as hastily as last time.
I saw him take out the staff, first cast an anti-phantom shifting spell on this old house, then opened the door and strode in.
This town is a town where Muggles live, and the furnishings in the house are more Muggle style. Compared to the dark and dirty brick wall outside, the living room that Maca saw was obviously much better.
A simple dining table with plain tablecloths, a brick fireplace with sparks, and bookshelves everywhere are easily reminiscent of Snape himself. He is a master of potions and an excellent wizard, and besides his own talent, what makes him accomplish all of this is his specificity and perseverance.
Even in the living room, like him, there is not much furniture. Just as he has loved Lily all his life, he has no distractions for the endless knowledge of magic.
Maca was bathed in the orange fire glow from the fireplace, and Snape stared at each other with a little astonishment, both of them sighed differently.
"...you are still chasing." Snape put down his fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and threw it aside.
"To be honest, I don't want to follow," Maca looked at him, "because when I found myself in Spider's End, I knew that you must not welcome anyone."
"Who knows?" Snape shook his head lightly, "Perhaps you are right, this place...I don't even want to come back..."
This is Snape's hometown, and even though he probably doesn't want to admit it, this is the only place he can call home.
In this small town, in this small house, he experienced the childhood that he hated the most.
His father, a Muggle, and his mother, a pure-blood wizard, quarreled so often that he neglected his life, so that he had been very sloppy since he was a child.
It is said that when he was young, he didn't have any formal clothes on him. Each one was an extremely inappropriate old suit, plus a crumpled shirt and dirty jeans. And his hair has been greasy since he was a child, and it looks like it hasn't been washed for a long time.
Snape’s childhood was a childhood lacking parental care.
But, also in this small town, he met Lily Evans for the first time. It was the girl who made him fall in love at first sight and devoted his whole life to light up his gray life, which is very similar to this run-down town.
For Snape, this dilapidated hometown undoubtedly contains various tastes of bitterness and sweetness, which he will never forget for the rest of his life.
Maca stared at Snape's calm face, savoring the complex emotions hidden behind it. After a short while, he then looked away and looked around in this small living room for a week.
"...Tia, are you okay?" He asked inexplicably a seemingly irrelevant sentence~IndoMTL.com~ Snape glanced upstairs subconsciously when he heard the words.
"There is nothing wrong with it." He replied flatly.
They both made their voices very soft, obviously they didn't want Tia upstairs to hear them. Maca didn't know what Snape thought or planned for the woman who was in a daze.
From the fact that Snape left Tia in this home, he might have accepted this sister who emerged out of thin air. However, in front of Lily, Tia, the unexpected sister, was not as important as she thought.
Otherwise, Snape wouldn't be kidnapping Hermione.
Although Maca now knows that Snape who has been involved in the mysterious round mirror is actually himself. But in terms of Snape's kidnapping of Hermione, Snape would have done the same without him.
Even now, when Greenward succeeds, Snape, who knows the plan is successful, will probably still rush away, and then firmly step into the area that others are afraid to avoid.
"What about then? Will she be fine?"
Faced with the casual Snape, Maca insisted on asking.
Between the living Tia and the dead Lily, Snape would still choose the latter. But in this way, Tia, who just got an elder brother, will have to face the pain of losing a loved one again.
While admiring Snape's love, Maca couldn't help but sigh for his unfeeling.
"Huh..." Snape chuckled, then calmly said, "This home is not worthy of her coming back. Being born in this home is a pain. After today, she will forget all this— —She will never remember the parents who abandoned her, nor will I remember the brother who abandoned her."
