The Bard at Hogwarts

Granger House.

After Ino slowly played the harp, he stopped talking.

This time, he planned to personally visit the strange-eyed prophet trapped in the tower and find out the whereabouts of Voldemort's last Horcrux.

Unlike him, a fake fortune teller, he can only use dice to determine the success rate of things.

A prophet with vision is a person who can see what he wants to see through a crystal ball, either future events or the present.

Compared with Trelawney, who is sometimes ineffective, Eno believes in Grindelwald's ability more, although it may cost some to ask the latter.

But compared to Voldemort, Grindelwald, a wizard who was once all-powerful but now mourns more than his heart, seems very safe.

…

In London in mid-August, time seems to slow down.

It seems that every breeze carries the unfinished warmth of summer and the coolness of early autumn.

On the seventh day after the story ends.

Granger House welcomed its first visitor, an expected and reasonable guest.

Ino was not surprised at all when Snape came to visit him. He could wait a full week, which was considered restraint.

"Professor! Some things can be copied, but some things are truly unique."

In the guest room, Ino chose to get straight to the point.

Hermione's resurrection cannot be replicated, and not to mention the golden apple, the world where Teacher Hans lives alone cannot be entered again.

The pages of the album recording the story were torn apart, it was like having children separated from each other. Although the ancestral home was familiar, there was no reason to live in it again.

On the other side, Snape seemed to have expected this answer and did not show too much excitement.

But after knowing clearly that resurrection was impossible, the look in his eyes dimmed a lot.

"I knew it..." Snape said calmly.

Seeing this, Ino was helpless and could only respond with silence.

Although he still had ice flowers which were of no use, could this thing resurrect a person who had been dead for more than ten years and whose bones were rotting?

The answer is naturally unknown.

Since it was unknown, he didn't want to say anything more.

After all, the cruelest thing in the world is to give someone hope and then be unable to fulfill the promise in the end.

As for Snape, Ino didn't want to use tricks to hang him up, even though it was easy and he could easily conquer a potion master.

But there are some things you can do and some things you can't do.

…

In the guest room.

Ino and Snape sat opposite each other, and silence seemed to prevail.

Faintly, you could still hear the sound of the TV outside the room, and Hermione's laughter from time to time.

"I understand! If you need any help, you can write to me at any time."

After waiting for the real answer, Snape slowly stood up and wanted to leave.

"Professor, wait." Seeing this, Ino quickly called out to stop the other party.

"Professor, what solution have you come up with regarding Harry?"

To be honest, he didn't really have much idea about the protagonist of this story, but sometimes he couldn't ignore Snape's feelings.

In fact, looking at the entire story, it only tells one thing in seven years, Harry discovers and destroys Horcruxes.

Interestingly, in the end, Harry also wiped himself out.

Although due to the intervention of fate, the ending was happy for everyone, Harry did not really die as a result.

The so-called happy ending probably also requires a prerequisite: Harry's blood is needed to resurrect Voldemort.

But things are different now. After all, Voldemort was resurrected with the blood of Old Barty Crouch.

The difference is more than a tiny bit.

…

In the guest room.

After hearing Harry's name, Snape slowly sat down again.

"I'm trying to figure out how to solve the problem and fix it with a potion."

"Potion?" Ino raised an eyebrow in confusion.

He didn't doubt the other party's ability, but he had never heard of a magic potion targeting the soul.

other side.

Regarding Ino's doubts, Snape had no intention of hiding anything.

In fact, there is probably no one in this world who is a real fool.

Snape knew very well that Ino could easily be resurrected to lie to him, or even control him.

And even if he knew it was a lie, he would still be willing to be driven by it for the sake of that illusory hope.

But in fact, the promise he expected did not appear, and the student in front of him just confessed that he could not be resurrected.

Regarding such a result, Snape was also very complicated. I felt both unfortunate and a little lucky. These two contradictory emotions came to my mind at the same time.

"Yes! The magic potion, Wolfsbane potion inspired me..."

With conflicting feelings, Snape calmly expressed his thoughts.

Wolfsbane has been a problem that has troubled wizards for thousands of years. So far, no one can fully explain what it is and why it comes from.

Although there are many speculations and explanations about wolfsbane, just like when people discuss nightmares, there is never an authoritative and accurate answer.

Even if Wolfsbane potion comes out, it will be the same. If there is no answer, there is no answer.

…

at the same time.

Snape's narrative continued.

"...the venom of Aconitum, Blackroot, and Acromantula... is extracted and boiled, and you will get a slow but irreversible poison, a poison that damages the soul!"

Snape spoke calmly, especially when he talked about poison, his tone was as smooth as drinking a glass of pumpkin juice.

Unlike the calmness of the narrator, Ino's heart was quite up and down.

At this moment, he really admired Snape, whose talent in potions was not exaggerated.

Inspired by the wolfsbane potion, developing a self-damaging potion was not something that ordinary magicians could think of.

If it was really like what the other party had, this would undoubtedly be the safest way. After all, Voldemort's soul fragments were acquired, and their strength could not surpass Harry no matter what.

But the only thing that surprised him was how Snape knew the effect of the potion.

You have to know that a potion that damages the soul, especially a slow damage, is not something that can be answered by opening the lid and smelling it, or using the Scarpin Apparition Charm.

Although he was surprised, Ino did not intend to dig deep. Everyone has secrets, just like Snape never asked about the details of resurrection from beginning to end.

For some things, it's good to have an answer, and the details are never important.

Just like now, Harry's question has an answer, and Ino is more confident about what will happen next, and the snake will not be bitten again.

Similarly, at this moment, Ino felt sincerely that fate seemed to be really magical.

Voldemort, who advocates pure blood, had his own fate determined in a Muggle's home.

…

Austria is located in central Europe and is affected by the Atlantic sea breeze. It has a typical temperate broad-leaved forest climate.

In late August, the temperature in Austria has actually dropped to around 10°, which is very refreshing and pleasant.

As an inland country, Austria does not have much to show off.

For Muggles, only the world-famous attraction built in the Roman period, the Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, can be world-renowned.

But for wizards, especially some elderly wizards, there is a castle that many people can't forget - Nurmengard.

20 kilometers away from Nurmengard Castle, the small town of Alpbach welcomed a pair of young men and women today.

…

The passage of time brings not only character and experience, but also a growing body.

Hermione is wearing a silver-gray sportswear and pure white sneakers. This outfit makes her tall figure look even more heroic.

Beside her, Ino was also wearing the same sportswear, but the color was plain black.

"Hermione, you can walk around by yourself for a while, I have to complete the purpose of this trip first."

While speaking, Ino raised his head slightly and looked towards the sunset in the west, although there was only a wide and sparse forest in sight.
