"The oath is established!"
House Elf Coffy finished speaking.
From the intersecting wrists of Lockhart and Snape, light golden threads emerged one after another, intertwined with each other to form a complex rune shape, and then disappeared into the arms of the two people.
Lockhart felt the contract information emerging in his mind and nodded slightly.
Snape felt that the contract was successfully signed, and a flash of excitement flashed in his heart. Then he looked eagerly at Lockhart opposite him, and asked in an expectant tone: "Lockhart, can you tell me how to resurrect Lily now?"
Seeing the eager look on Snape's face, Lockhart smiled slightly, pointed to the desk and said, "Don't be anxious, Snape, sit down and let speak slowly."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the desk. Seeing this, Snape walked towards the desk eagerly.
The house elf Coffy on the side turned around and left when he saw that he had nothing to do.
"Snape, this is your wand, put it away first."
Lockhart sat at the table, stretched out his hand, and a wand appeared in his hand. He pushed it in front of Snape and said softly.
Snape looked a little complicated when he saw his wand, but he didn't have time to think too much.
He put it away directly, and then looked at Lockhart opposite, the urging in his eyes.
Seeing this, Lockhart waved his hand gently, and the teapot and teacup fell in front of the two of them, and he slowly poured tea into it. Then he looked at Snape opposite and asked slowly.
"Snape, do you remember the lightning scar on Harry's forehead?"
"Is Lily's resurrection is related to the lightning scar?" Snape nodded and then asked.
"Yes." Lockhart nodded slightly, took a sip of tea, and continued, "Harry learned meditation from me before."
"I detected Voldemort's soul fragment from his lightning scar, and that's when I learned that Harry had become Voldemort's Horcrux."
Hearing this, Snape clenched his fists subconsciously.
"I am personally very curious about Horcruxes, especially humanoid Horcruxes."
"So I found an opportunity to do some research. Guess what I found?"
When Lockhart said this, he paused and asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Snape frowned, as if thinking about something, and then quickly reacted, eyes widening, full of disbelief.
"You mean"
"That's right." Lockhart nodded slightly and said, "From the lightning scar, I not only detected the fragments of Voldemort's soul, but also the aura of Lily's soul, and of course, James."
Upon hearing James' name, Snape frowned visibly, with a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes.
But he didn't express anything. Instead, he confirmed again: "Lockhart, are you sure about Lily's soul.?"
Lockhart nodded slightly and said, "I think the ancient magic Lily performed last is closely related to the soul."
"Otherwise, it will be impossible to resist the Death Curse and even absorb Voldemort's soul fragments."
"Since he can absorb Voldemort's soul fragments, he can naturally absorb Lily's, James's, and even other souls later."
Lockhart has specifically explored this point and made some guesses.
In the Goblet of Fire, Harry fell into a trap and had to fight Voldemort one-on-one, but managed to escape in the end.
the last help of Lily and James' soul.
It's all the result of this magic.
The effect of this magic is likely to absorb the soul fragments of all those who died in front of Harry, thus transforming them into protection for Harry.
After hearing this, Snape's face lit up with joy.
"But."
When Lockhart mentioned it, Snape's expression immediately returned to normal and he stared at Lockhart.
"If you want to resurrect Lily, there is a problem, and that is the fragment of Voldemort's soul."
"As I told you before, Harry is now a Horcrux of Voldemort."
"To put it mildly, Voldemort will always have the possibility of resurrection unless Harry dies."
Snape frowned when he heard this, his face serious.
"What's even more troublesome is that if Voldemort's soul fragments are not removed, it may be more difficult for Lily to be resurrected."
"Lockhart, what can you do?"
Snape is not stupid. There must be a corresponding solution when Lockhart proposed it. What's more, this is also mentioned in the contract.
Hearing Snape's question, Lockhart smiled slightly.
Instead of answering directly, he asked: "Snape, do you think Voldemort's talent is strong?"
Snape was a little confused about this, but he still nodded and said, "Strong, very strong!"
"So, what do you think of Harry's current talent?" Lockhart asked again.
This time, Snape thought about it carefully and said slowly: "Harry's magical talent is not weak. Whether it is the growth rate, intensity of magic power, or actual combat talent, it exceeds that of student of the same level."
Then, with a smile on his face, Lockhart said word by word: "Then what do you think the combination of Harry's and Voldemort's talents?"
Hearing this, Snape frowned, as if he thought of something. Looking at Lockhart's eyes, a hint of horror flashed through his eyes.
Seeing this, Lockhart took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Since Harry has been Voldemort's Horcrux for so many years, then as a price."
"Harry devoured the fragments of Voldemort's soul and gained his gifts."
New York, Queens.
Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
Peter was in the living room at home, picked up a broom, and hurriedly cleaned up the garbage in every corner.
Seeing that the sofa was a little messy and wrinkled, he quickly ran forward and smoothed it out carefully.
At the same time, with a wave of his hand, a spider thread shot out and wrapped around the mop placed aside.
Pull it in front of him, and start digging the ground carefully to remove dirt on the ground. At the same time, shoot out spider web, open the window, and ventilate.
May went to work early, and now he is the only one left at home.
And the reason why he is so busy is because he received news not long ago that Teacher Lockhart will bring a friend to his home.
He said that he wanted to check his body and plan a route for him to develop his strength.
He was so excited at the time that he thanked his mentor Lockhart repeatedly.
But then, he saw some traces of mess in his bedroom, living room, etc., which made him feel a little embarrassed.
So there is the scene of hurriedly cleaning the house at this moment.
It's a pity that he hasn't mastered magic yet, otherwise he can quickly clean the house with a simple spell.
He had often heard Vera and the others talk about the convenience of magic.
He hope that after this guidance, he will be able to gain magical abilities.
If that's the case, that would be great.
When he thought of this, Peter became a little excited and continued cleaning with great enthusiasm.
Soon, the cleaning was completed.
Looking at the clean environment around him, Peter clapped his hands, put his hands on his hips, and showed a satisfied smile.
Immediately afterwards, Peter seemed to have thought of something and hurried to May's bedroom and took out a large gray cardboard box from the cabinet.
There are teapots, teacups and tea leaves inside.
This was a benefit that Lockhart, as the boss, gave to his employees when May worked at the Vientiane Book Cafe. Everyone had it.
Unfortunately, May wasn't interested in drinking tea, so she kept it in the cupboard.
But Peter has not forgotten. He knows that his teacher likes tea the most, and his friends should be the same.
Well, since May is not interested, let him use it today to entertain his mentor and guests.
With his thoughts turning, Peter opened the box, took the teapot and teacup in his hand, and hurried to the kitchen for simple cleaning.
After finishing, start adding tea leaves and slowly brew the tea.
With everything ready, Peter raised his right arm, opened his sleeve, and looked at the golden dragon mark on his arm.
Focus his mind, and then gently call his mentor.
He seemed to be asking when he would arrive.
Not long after asking, suddenly
Buzz!
On the living room floor, a red flame-colored circular portal appeared.
Peter saw his mentor Lockhart walking straight out, followed by a middle-aged wizard wearing black wizard robes with an expressionless face and a gloomy temperament.
Peter quickly stepped forward and said hello: "Good morning, mentor."
Then, he couldn't help but look at the wizard next to him. He exuded an aura that made Peter feel like a villain in a movie.
In addition, he felt a strong dangerous aura from the other party.
Keep Peter looking sideways.
"Peter, this is Severus Snape. From now on, you can just call him Professor Snape." Lockhart introduced: "Today, he is here to help you plan your future development path."
Then, Snape introduced: "This is Peter, my student. He is very talented. I am very optimistic about him."
After Snape heard this, he nodded to show his understanding.
"Hello, Professor Snape." After hearing the instructor's introduction, Peter said quickly: "I'll bother you later."
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and quickly stretched out his hand, pointed at the sofa and said: "Mentor, Professor Snape, sit down first, and I will pour you tea."
With that said, Peter walked to the table in the living room, picked up the teapot, and started pouring tea on the prepared teacup.
Seeing this, Lockhart ask Snape directly and sat on the sofa.
Snape, on the other hand, looked at the surrounding environment with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
When he heard Lockhart's introduction to the new world before, he thought Lockhart was bluffing him.
As a result, the change of the year, coupled with the perception of the activity of the surrounding magic, and the amplified spell.
He had to be convinced that everything Lockhart said was true.
After believing in the existence of the new world, Snape became more confident in Lockhart's promise.
With his thoughts turning, Snape turned his attention to Peter who was pouring tea, commented, and walked to the sofa.
"Mentor, Professor Snape, drink!" Peter said, passing the tea he poured in his hand to the two of them.
Then, Peter sat aside and stared at the two of them expectantly, with a hint of urgency in his eyes.
It is difficult for a young man like him to refuse the temptation of improving his strength.
Lockhart saw Peter's expression and joked to Snape beside him: "Snape, my student is really looking forward to it."
"As a top potions master, you can't let my students down."
After Peter heard this, he looked at Snape with a hint of joy in his eyes.
Snape, on the other hand, nodded expressionlessly and looked at Peter as if he were looking at an experimental subject.
He could hear Lockhart explaining the peculiarities of Peter's constitution.
But Snape's eyes instantly made Peter feel a little scared.
"Peter, hold out your hand," Snape said solemnly.
After hearing this, Peter nodded cautiously, opened his sleeve, showed his right arm, and handed it to Snape.
After Snape saw the golden dragon magic mark on Peter's right arm, his eyes narrowed, but his expression did not change, and he quickly passed by it.
Then, he grabbed Peter's wrist and lightly traced his fingertips on Peter's arm.
Peter felt the coldness in Snape's hand, and the fingertips scratching his arm like a sword. He subconsciously felt a shiver in his heart. He clenched his fists and tightened his muscles, trying to get rid of it.
Seemingly sensing Peter's physical changes, Snape held Peter's wrist, a flow of magic power, and shook it gently.
Instantly, Peter felt his arms become weak, without strength or even feeling.
Snape nodded slightly when he saw this.
snort! When refining potions, he has to deal with all kinds of magical creatures. This is the basic skill of a potion master.
And Peter felt his arms were weak, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.
At the next moment, he was shocked to find that
As Snape's fingertips lightly scratched, a tiny trace of blood appeared, and his own blood floated out of it.
Fortunately, not much flowed out, and, hr don't know if it was the effect of magic, the blood stains disappeared quickly, and the wound heal.
At this moment, Snape nodded slightly when he saw the blood appearing in front of him.
Then, he let go of Peter's arm and waved lightly. A miniature silver plate appeared on the table, and blood fell on it.
Seeing this, Snape reached out and pulled out a test tube containing a lavender liquid.
In Peter's eyes, he saw Professor Snape gently shaking the test tube, and the purple liquid fell on his bright red blood.
Soon, his blood turned purple, but then, it began to turn red.
In less than 10 seconds, it turned into bright red again.
Seeing the familiar scene, Snape nodded slightly and looked at Peter with eyes full of passion, as if he was seeing a priceless treasure.
This is the source of Lockhart's blood that has the effect of accelerating fusion.
This Peter, as long as he manages it well, is simply a treasure for a potion master.
However, the look in Snape's eyes made Peter feel a little nervous inside.
cough!
Seeing this, Lockhart coughed slightly and reminded: "Snape, have you finished the examination? Do you have any good suggestions?"
After the words fell, Snape came back to his senses.
He said to Peter: "Come here, let me check your physique again."
After hearing Snape's request, Peter looked at his mentor and nodded before slowly sitting in front.
Snape, on the other hand, was speechless when he saw Peter's actions, and said coldly: "I'm not a tiger. I will not eat you."
"Besides, you are Lockhart's student, how can I harm you?"
Well, at most take some blood and extract the blood appropriately, which will have good effects on the body.
Not to mention he still has magic potion to replenish his blood.
Tsk tsk tsk, thinking about it this way, it is entirely possible for Peter to become a blood-making machine.
Then, Snape looked at Peter sitting in front of him, stood up, and reminded at the same time: "Don't move!"
Then he touched Peter's shoulders with his hands, and the magic power flowed into his body, and at the same time, his spiritual power penetrated.
Peter only felt soft currents flowing continuously in his body.
At the same time, there was a strong sense of voyeurism deep in his heart, as if he was being placed on someone else's side. Observation under the microscope.
After a moment, Snape put down his hands, stretched out his wand again, waved it lightly, and with a flash of white light, he cast a detection spell on Peter.
Feel the feedback from the spell.
Snape closed his eyes slightly and thought silently.
When Lockhart saw this, a trace of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
He is very optimistic about Peter. He has potential and talent, and he can definitely become a top fighter in the future.
After a while, Snape opened his eyes, looked at Lockhart and Peter, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, all the inspections are done."
"Except for some small details that need to be changed, there will basically be no major problems."
"Wait for me to refine a blood fusion potion when I go back. After taking it, I will see the effect."
Hearing this, Lockhart nodded slightly, praising Snape secretly in his heart. He is indeed a top potion master.
Peter was filled with excitement and quickly said gratefully: "Thank you, Professor Snape, thank you Mentor."
"You're welcome." Snape said calmly, and then said in a serious tone: "I will take some of your blood for research first."
"Just in case something unexpected happens."
After Peter heard this, he glanced at Teacher Lockhart and nodded to express his understanding.
After a while.
Snape, looking at the somewhat pale Peter and the large amount of blood in front of him, flashed a smile on his face.
Night, Harry Potter World, Daily Prophet, Deputy Editor's Office.
Rita Skeeter looked at the white-haired man opposite, Lucius Malfoy, with an inexplicable look in her eyes.
"Ms. Skeeter, I have received the latest information. Although we tried our best to obstruct it, we failed, it was due to Dumbledore's influence."
"Top European journals such as "Magic Words" and "Philosopher's Stone" have passed the review of Lockhart's paper."
"Next, the entire British wizard world, including wizards in other regions, will welcome the arrival of meditation method."
"Now, what are we going to do?"
Hearing Malfoy's inquiry, Rita Skeeter nodded heavily and said in a deliberately cruel voice: "Mr. Malfoy, don't worry."
"Everything is ready according to plan."
"This time, Gilderoy Lockhart will die without a burial place!"
