Chapter 421 Walking on the right path
Voldemort's incompetent rage did not arouse any turmoil in Sherlock's heart.
At this moment, he was silently observing the state of Voldemort possession on Harry, holding the crown in his hand and wondering what he was thinking.
Under the nervous gaze of Professor McGonagall Snape and Lily, Sherlock suddenly stretched out his finger, pointed it at Voldemort's head and tapped it gently, and he fainted.
Sherlock stood up and looked at Snape and the others and said with a serious expression.
"If it were under normal circumstances, I would have no choice but to do with Harry's current situation. The connection between him and Voldemort is very deep. Under the influence of the Horcrux's effectiveness, Harry's soul has been entangled with Voldemort's residual soul. This is probably why he appeared on Harry after Voldemort was killed."
Snape and the others all took a breath, knowing that Sherlock had not finished speaking.
"But he took this golden crown out of the house of requests by himself, which was actually giving us a chance."
Sherlock raised the Raven Crowgin crown in his hand.
"Vodemor's Horcrux can bring me a great improvement in a short period of time. With my current state, with the improvement during this period, I should have the opportunity to control Voldemor's soul and separate him from Harry's body."
Snape's face did not improve much, and he still asked with an ugly face.
“What does it mean to have a chance?”
"It's literally because I had made such an attempt yesterday afternoon, but it failed at that time and failed to separate Voldemort's soul from his body. Harry's condition is not much better than that time, so I can only say that I can give it a try, and it cannot guarantee success."
"What happens if it doesn't work?"
Sherlock turned his gaze to Harry lying on the ground.
"Harry's life is indeed bound to Voldemort. Killing Harry is equivalent to killing him. But similarly, if he dies in Harry's body, Harry will definitely not have a chance to survive. If he does not succeed, I will give up trying temporarily, stabilize the situation first, and then think of other ways."
To the end, he did not go to see Snape, but instead focused on Lily, whose figure had become illusory as if it were.
"Even if the problem on Harry's side is bad, we can still find a way to solve it later, but you don't have much time."
Sherlock's words made Snape, who was already suspicious of Lily's changes, immediately alerted.
"Lily, is she like this?"
Sherlock's voice was calm and filled with emotion.
"She is not Lily's real soul. I told you before that the spell I asked you to send her at that time was just an attempt. Even if this attempt was successful, it would have intercepted part of Lily's soul. You can regard this as a variant of the Horcrux."
"Harry is the soil where she lives, but if the broken soul is compared to the flowers that are about to wither, then Harry's flower pot is limited. Now that Voldemort's remnant soul is squeezed in, it is equivalent to uprooting her remnant soul. As you can see, without soil, she can no longer exist in this world for long."
Snape turned his head in disbelief to look at Lily, who was already extremely illusory, and then stared at Sherlock with bloodshot eyes, his voice becoming hoarse and excited.
"Can't I make this soil? Sherlock...you will have a solution, right? Let Lily continue to survive with my body..."
Sherlock shook his head silently under Snape's desperate gaze.
"Not to mention that you have no defense magic at all, it means that there is only soil but only dry soil. Even if you are close to the conditions of being close to each other, you will not meet it. So, I'm sorry, Severus, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you'd better cherish the time now. I'm going to prepare for Harry's affairs."
Compared to Snape's despair, Sherlock and others' silence, Lily, as the client, was very dull.
She looked at Harry lying on the ground with a gentle smile on her face, then moved her eyes to Sherlock.
"I am really grateful to you for having the opportunity to participate in Harry's growth for nearly two years. Thank you for your teaching and care for Harry when I was away, and thank you for allowing us, mother and son to meet again in so many years. You have done enough for us. In the future, Harry will have to ask you to help take care of him."
Sherlock waved his hand, and did not say anything, but held the crown in his hand tightly and squatted in front of Harry again.
Lily also expressed her gratitude to Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall. Finally, she set her eyes on Snape, who was shaking slightly and was in a distraught and despair.
"sorry......"
Snape's voice was trembling, as if he was in a cold cellar, and he could not feel any warmth.
"If you apologize, you have said it to me many times twenty years ago, Severus."
Lily looked at her, with no complaints or disgust on her face, only a smile like the warm afternoon sun.
"You apologized to me when you were in school, but I never said anything to forgive you at that time because I don't think you have changed at all. But... people always change, don't they?"
Snape didn't speak, or rather, his mental state now made him not sure what kind of syllables should happen after his mouth was opened.
"So you must remember, the professor that night, my promise with 'Professor Slughorn', right?"
I don't know which sentence Lily said, but Snape felt his cheeks itchy, and the liquid that had slipped from the corners of his eyes had washed his face.
Lily's question made him cry and could only say it vaguely.
“I…I remember…”
"If one day he really reforms, no longer gets involved with those people, no longer study those messy magic, and honestly study the potions he is most interested in, and it is best to be a professor in Hogwarts, that means he has really improved. At that time, I will look at him with admiration, and we might be able to become friends again."
In the identity of Lily twenty years later, she recounted her promises with a smile and retelling her promises that day with Snape again.
Lily Evans tilted his head, with a bright smile like the sun on his face, just like the summer vacation when he had not received the Hogwarts admission notice, the boy and the girl were talking about magic in the gray Spider-tail alley, looking forward to the future happily.
"Severus, as my best friend during my lifetime and after my death, you must also stick to the right path in the future."
