Harry returns from Hogwarts Legacy

Chapter 99 Eternal Love (4000th update, words)
When Harry came to his senses, Lily had already walked away with big strides, without a trace of hesitation.

Without even looking at his father who was still bullying Snape, he turned around and followed him.

He didn't want to see the scene here anymore.

He could still hear his father's voice.

"Ah, who of you wants to see me pull down Snotlout's dirty underwear?"

He followed his mother all the way back to the castle, but he found that his mother was walking towards a place that he was very familiar with...

Harry's heart trembled, and he hurriedly followed, wanting to confirm his guess.

really……

It's a map secret room.

He remembered what Professor Dumbledore had said before, that his mother had used an ancient spell to protect him...

It seems that mom 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?"

Vivi's voice rang out.

“Weiwei…”

Lily seemed to have let down all her defenses when she came into the secret room of the map. She was no longer as strong as before, but knelt on the ground, covering her face with her hands and crying.

"What's wrong? Lily?" Vivi's voice was gentle.

"me……"

Lily sobbed and told Vilatia what had just happened.

In front of Velatia, Lily did not hide anything at all, as if they were best friends who could talk about anything.

"I... I endured the cold stares from the whole school, but I still regarded him as my best friend..." Lily cried, her voice trembling, "His friends cast evil spells on my friends, but he said it was their freedom... Everyone was questioning why I made friends with such a person, and everyone was despising me for being close to Slytherin despite being a Muggle-born..."

"I pulled out my 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, unworthy of being his friend..."

Lily looked really sad, she was crying.

"Lily." Weiwei comforted softly: "When people are extremely angry, they will lose their reason. Mr. Snape may just have made an unintentional mistake."

"An unintentional mistake?" Lily sobbed. "Even if it was an unintentional mistake, this is too much. What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong..."

"You didn't do anything wrong, Lily." Velatia said gently, "The ones who did the wrong thing were those scums who were so arrogant and thought their bloodline was superior..."

The voices gradually became quieter after that, and Harry had no idea what they were talking about.

Once again, the world was spinning in front of me.

The older mother appeared in front of Harry again.

Lily has lost some of her childishness and seems to be more confident and dazzling than before.

“Weiwei!”

She is greeting the girl in the portrait.

"Do you have any interesting things to share with me?" Vivi's violet eyes were curved and very beautiful.

"I've been a little distressed lately—" Lily stood in front of the portrait, looking tangled up, "You know, the Potter I always told you about before—he pursued me endlessly, and said he could do anything for me, and could change everything..."

Harry noticed that Vivi's expression was dazed for a moment.

After seeming to hesitate 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 best friend is also a Potter, Vivi -"

"What more can you ask for from a man who is willing to change for you?" Weiwei seemed to sigh softly, "Seize this opportunity, I believe Potter is serious."

"Okay - I'll consider your suggestion..." Lily scratched her fiery red hair.

"It's not a suggestion, it's a prophecy." Vivi said softly.

Although Vivi said this, Harry still noticed that her hands were unnaturally holding her hair.

This is a sign that she is lying.

Why...why did she lie to her mother?
……

“Weiwei!”

The one who appeared in front of Harry again was a slightly more mature Lily.

Her belly was slightly bulging and she had a maternal glow.

"Lily, it looks like you're pregnant. Congratulations."

Vivi said very happily.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm pregnant."

Lily reached out and touched her belly and said to Vivi happily.

Veratia placed the book in her hand on the table in the portrait and said to Lily, "I think you will give birth to a boy this time..."

"Why?" Lily asked with interest.

"You forgot that I have the gift of prophecy." Veratia said, fiddling with her hair.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot." Lily stuck out her tongue and asked, "If it's a boy, I think... he should be named Harry. I still remember the story you told me about the man named 'Harry Potter' - he is your good friend, right? I hope my child will be as strong as him."

"He will." A bright smile appeared on Vivi's face, as dazzling as her hair.

The picture spun again.

"Wormy, Pads——"

Lily's voice rang out, and she was holding a large bowl filled with beef stew.

Little Harry was sitting on a stool not far away, and he seemed to be holding a bottle of milk in his hand.

"Oh my god, what's that smell?!" Lily put the bowl on the table and yelled, "James? Honey? How many times have I told you! Always close the door when you go to the toilet!"

"Sorry, honey—" James' voice rang out from the room, "I'm brewing a potion..."

The man whom Lily called 'Banban' laughed happily. He took back his hand that was teasing Harry with the small flying broom, nudged the short and fat man sitting next to him with his elbow, and said with a grin, "Look, James' talent in potions is still as hard to describe as always."

The short and fat man was amused by Banban's words and laughed out loud, holding his belly.

"Okay, you two."

Lily knocked on the table and ordered the two people, "You, Banban, go take out the garbage - Bug, go to the Muggle district to buy some black pepper. We have run out of black pepper at home."

"As you command, ma'am!"

The two of them stretched out their hands, high-fived each other, and walked out happily.

Harry watched his mother go into the kitchen, and a moment later she was directing her wand into the dining room, carrying a basin of soup.

After putting down the pot of soup, Lily asked loudly: "James? Darling? Are you still brewing potions?"

What Harry didn't expect was that there was a rustling sound coming from the toilet.

James's muffled voice came: "No, honey, I'm in the bathroom--"

Harry burst out laughing. He didn't expect that his parents' interactions could be so interesting.

It seems... Lily obviously has three big children - James, Banban and Bugs. ...

The scene rotated again, and Harry and his mother returned to the Chamber of Secrets on the Map.

Harry noticed that the mother who appeared before him this time looked more haggard than ever before, and even a little tired.

“Weiwei…”

My mother's voice was no longer full of energy as usual, but rather tired.

"Long time no see, Lily." Weiwei said cheerfully, "Your little Harry... should be almost one year old, right?"

When Lily heard 'little Harry', her tears immediately flowed down.

Vivi was a little flustered. It was the second time Harry saw this look on her face - the last time was when he was hit by the Lanlock curse.

"Vivi, Professor Trelawney made a prophecy," she knelt on the ground, looking very helpless, "She said that someone with the power to conquer the Dark Lord was born, and appeared in a family that had defeated the Dark Lord three times - born at the end of the seventh month, the Dark Lord marked him as his greatest enemy, but he had a power that the Dark Lord did not understand... One must die at the hands of the other, because both cannot live, only one survives... The person with the power to conquer the Dark Lord will be born at the end of the seventh month."

After hearing what Lily said, Vivi was stunned for a moment, then she asked 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 predictions... are very accurate."

"This should be something to be happy about, why are you crying?" Vivi asked.

"Because... because the prophecy has been known to the Dark Lord somehow, he wants... he wants to take action against us..." Lily sobbed.

"Are you scared?" Vivi asked.

"No, I'm not afraid of death, but Harry..." Lily said sadly, "Harry is less than one year old... How can you expect a child to defeat the Dark Lord? Only one of them can survive, my poor Harry... He... He hasn't had time to see the world, hasn't had time to learn interesting magic, and hasn't played Quidditch - you haven't seen him riding on a broomstick, he's really cute... But... How can you be so cruel... How can you..."

Seeing his mother so helpless, Harry couldn't help but shed tears.

No one can remain calm in the face of a mother's tears.

Weiwei was silent for a long time.

Just when Harry thought Vivi would remain silent, he didn't expect her to speak.

"Lily, we...are the descendants of ancient magic."

Vivi said softly.

"I know that the evil dark lord used some kind of dark magic to make him invincible, but..."

"But what?" Lily heard the turn in Vilatia's words, and hope lit up in her eyes.

Vivi paused for a long time.

Harry saw the struggle and confusion in her expression.

"Vivi..." he murmured.

"I know a spell, an ancient spell." Vivi said softly, "This ancient spell can not only transfer your ancient magic heritage to Harry, but can even cast a protective spell on him, isolating him from the damage of the Cruciatus Curse and the Killing Curse forever, and will rebound to those with malicious intentions..."

Lily's emerald eyes sparkled with hope.

"Teach me, Vivi, I...I am willing to learn..."

A trace of pity flashed across Weiwei's eyes.

"Lily, you have to know that this kind of spell has a price..."

Lily said firmly, "You tell me, I can accept any price - as long as Harry can live healthily and happily."

"you……"

Veratia closed her eyes.

“I’m really willing to give…”

Harry saw that his mother's expression became unusually determined.

"Anything!"

Hearing Lily's words, Vilatia nodded slightly.

Harry had a bad feeling in his heart.

Weiwei's voice was gentle, but with a hint of trembling.

"This spell... requires you to pay with your life as the price. You... need to die in front of little Harry as a sacrifice to protect the spell..."

"No! Mom! Don't!"

Harry shouted loudly, but his words could not reach Lily's ears at all.

"Vivi! Don't tell her! Don't teach her this spell!"

but,

It's just a memory.

Lily's expression was extremely firm. She nodded calmly and said to Vilatia, "I am willing to give everything for Harry, even my life!"

Harry watched as his mother followed Vivi's movements in the portrait and carved a mysterious ancient spell on her arm. He shouted to try to stop it, but he was unable to affect the mother in his memory at all.

He stretched out his hand and tried in vain to pull at his mother, trying to stop her movements, but he could only grab nothing.

He would rather die like this than see his mother sacrifice her life to protect him.

The spell was completed, and a violet light flashed on Lily's arm.

"Thank you, Vivi."

A bright smile appeared on Lily's face again, and that bright girl was back.

But she saw that Vivi in ​​the portrait was already squatting on the ground.

"I'm sorry, Harry, I'm sorry..." she murmured.

Lily didn't know what she meant, so she just said to her in a light tone: "Don't worry, Vivi, I did this voluntarily. No matter what... Harry won't blame you... Well, let me copy some of my memories into the Pensieve..."

"I suggest you copy more so that Harry... can see you more. It would be best if he includes his father and your former best friend." Vivi's tone was gentle.

"Nice suggestion."

Lily smiled happily, walked to the meditation basin, stretched out her hand to pull out the magic wand and placed it on her temple. Strands of silver-white silk threads were pulled by the magic wand, picked out from her temple, and dissolved into the meditation basin.

"Maybe this is the last time we meet, Vivi." Lily said softly, "Thank you for your guidance..."

"professor……"

Vivi's eyes turned sad, and her violet eyes looked at Lily.

"get out of class is over." Her voice trembled.

"Goodbye, Vivi!"

Lily raised her right hand high and waved it vigorously at Vivi, with an extremely happy smile on her face.

Then she turned around and walked towards the door with brisk steps.

Memory stops at this moment.

Harry pulled his head out of the Pensieve, reached out to grab his collar, and breathed deeply and hard.

The sound of footsteps was still echoing in my ears, as if my mother had just left the secret room in the map.
