After ending the interview at the St. Mungo Magic Hospital and sending off Hermione who had to return to her parents' house for the holiday after the charity event, Allen teleported back to the shrine room and found Luna who had been pretending to be a goddess for the whole night outside the window.
"The news you just sent me is really surprising. I didn't expect Snape to go to such an extent for Potter …" Allen leaned out of the window and carried Luna back into the house. "When can you give him the Resurrection Stone? I don't need him to do anything for us."
"If we give him the Resurrection Stone now, he'll commit suicide soon." After returning to the room, Luna tidied up her clothes and tucked them back into her pants. "That's not the real Lily Evans. It's just the remnant of Lily's soul in the underworld and Snape's own memory. She's neither a ghost nor a living person with flesh and blood. She's somewhat similar to the thing that escaped from the notebook of the mysterious person you encountered in your second year. However, other than the holder, no one else can see the resurrected dead. The Resurrection Stone is a tool used by Death to deal with the three brothers. No matter how the thing that comes out of it treats you, its ultimate purpose is to lead the holder to his death."
Allen nodded in understanding. In the story "The Legend of the Three Brothers" in the collection of Peter the Poet, the lover of the second brother of the Peveril family died. He wanted to resurrect her, so Death gave him the Resurrection Stone, the Resurrection Stone. However, the resurrected lover was unusually cold to him. In the end, the second brother could not stand all of this and committed suicide.
According to the original plot, the dead people that Harry Potter saw after using the Resurrection Stone did not have a cold attitude toward Harry. However, their words were really guiding Harry to his death. Allen even thought that although Dumbledore himself had the idea of not wanting to live long ago and it had something to do with the fatal curse on his hand, during that short period of time when he discovered and held the Resurrection Stone, it might have also accelerated the process due to the influence of this thing.
"How about using the ritual you did back then?" Allen could not help but ask on behalf of Professor Snape.
"Lily Evans is just a mortal wizard. She can't keep her soul intact in the underworld like I can. In fact, it's been so long, most of her soul should have been absorbed long ago. It's just that some things like memories that Death doesn't need are still floating in the underworld." Luna, whose nose was a little red, stared at Allen with her protruding eyes and answered, "I can only give it to him after I've dealt with the Death."
"That's going to take a long time … I understand Snape's feelings … I've also experienced it briefly …" Allen sighed. His gaze stopped on Luna's red nose. He changed his mood and touched his waist bag while teasing her, "You sneezed when you were bathing in the moonlight. You almost exposed us … I wonder what Katie's expression would be if she found out the true face of the goddess she worships."
"You don't know how cold it is to float in the sky at the end of December … It didn't take much effort to expel these people's curses, but in order to create a holy atmosphere, I had to spend some of my collected believers …" Luna, whose expression softened because of Allen's words, raised one of her eyebrows when she heard his last sentence. However, a snot bubble came out of her nose immediately.
Allen, who was taking out the potion that the healer just gave him from his waist bag saw this and immediately wiped his goddess's nose with his sleeve. "You're such a great goddess but your nose is still running …" Then, he shook the potion as if he had a telepathic connection with Crabbe on the train this semester. Using the same action, he pressed Luna's head and forced the potion to Luna despite her refusal.
When Allen was about to wipe Luna's mouth with his sleeve, Luna put her face close to Allen's shoulder just like what she did a thousand years ago. Her lips, which were still stained with the potion's juice, brushed against Allen's shoulder. Her pink lips were squeezed until they changed shape and returned to their original shape.
"Cluck cluck cluck!"
After a ball of flame appeared out of thin air, a red-feathered phoenix suddenly appeared between the two, destroying the warm scene in this cold weather and raising the temperature even higher.
The female phoenix followed. As soon as it saw the wicked witch seducing its mate, it immediately attacked Luna. Its sharp beak pecked fiercely at Luna while its claws scratched at Luna. Caught off guard, the blonde witch could only use her hands to protect her head and teleport away. However, the phoenix persevered and followed her movements, always accurately pecking at Luna. Allen, who wanted to stop the fight, was always half a beat slower than the witch and the bird.
Luna, who was constantly dodging, was now suffering from the effects of the potion. White smoke billowed out from her ears under her hair. She looked as if her head was on fire due to her anger. However, there was really a fire around the female phoenix.
After a while, Luna, who was a little dazed from the surprise attack, was no longer in a daze. She reached out her hand and grabbed the air. The female phoenix was pulled away by an invisible hand and was thrown to the side.
This time, Allen's judgment was accurate. He instantly teleported to the direction where the phoenix fell and caught the female phoenix in his arms.
"It's just a bird." Then he quickly reached out to Luna and comforted the witch. "Give Anka some time. It will get used to you."
After that, Allen gently touched the wings of the female phoenix he named Anka, straightened out its messy feathers, and finally put it on his shoulder.
Standing on Allen's shoulder, the phoenix Anka's rolling eyes glanced at Luna from behind Allen's head. When it found that the wicked witch was looking at it, it deliberately turned its head and intimately rubbed against Allen's cheek.
"Damn bird." Hearing Allen's persuasion, Luna was still a little unhappy. At least, that was what the smoke coming out of her ears and the red marks on her white skin expressed.
The next day, in the shack outside Ottery St. Catchpole Village.
In the kitchen, Mr. Skillful Hands waved his three arms, chopped the washed onions and carrots, and handed them to Molly and the Tonks who were making lunch.
"When are you going to have your wedding?" Molly mixed the stuffing together, and her fat double chin trembled. For Mrs. Weasley, she had always wanted to put the heart-shaped girl in front of her with her eldest son, Lupin. Now that Lupin and the Tonks were together, she was happy for Lupin, but also regretful that such a lovely girl like the Tonks couldn't become a real family member.
Bill missed such a good girl, and he didn't know when he would be able to bring his girlfriend home. Molly sighed when she thought of her eldest son who was once the president of the Student Union and got 12 "O" s in the LS exam. Bill was outstanding enough, but his personality was too individualistic. Unlike when he was still in the Hogwarts, his current job as a Gringotte spell dispeller made it difficult for him to come into contact with suitable witches in the surrounding environment, except for those goblins.
"Remus has always been worried that his identity as a werewolf might hurt me, and he's also worried about the unknown consequences that it might bring to us in the future. That's why he's been trying to hold our wedding in a low-key manner, so that our union won't attract too much attention." The Tonks were a little shy, which was rare. "Allen and Daisy have threatened Remus several times. If he doesn't treat me well, or if he secretly holds his wedding without inviting everyone, they'll play the video of Wuli … embarrassing Remus on the TV station …"
Recalling Remus's deflated and helpless expression every time they talked about this matter, the Tonks flipped her pink hair and hugged Molly's arm with a smile. Her voice was light as she said, "So don't worry, when the time comes, other than the Harris family, you'll be the first ones I'll invite."
Molly squeezed out a smile of blessing at the Tonks. Molly could not help but feel a little unhappy when she heard that Allen was the one who set her up with Lupin. It was such a pity that such a capable, pure, and cheerful girl like the Tonks could not become her daughter-in-law.
However, she thought that if it were not for Allen's sharp eyes that hired Arthur with a high salary to modify the Muggle products that she looked down on in the past, her family would not have been able to get rid of their tight financial life and live such a comfortable life. Moreover, it was also Allen who brought her children to the hospital when Arthur was attacked. Molly had always been grateful to Allen because of this.
After calming down her thoughts, Molly hugged the Tonks back and touched her hair that was no longer dry. "That's great, my dear. You're very happy. And he seems to be much happier than before. "
After letting go of the Tonks, Molly raised her chin towards the wizards sitting in the living room. Sirius was lying lazily on the sofa, and Lupin was talking to Arthur. His complexion had changed a lot compared to before. Not only did he look healthier, but he also looked as if he was in the honeymoon period. Of course, their conversation was not suitable for the ladies to hear.
"My dear, did your Highness put on weight again? My dear, where did you buy those shoes? I think they're quite tacky. My dear, can you stop talking? I'm watching the Quidditch game right now. Remus, if you want to live a happy and long life, don't ever say these words to your wife, "Arthur put his hands on Lupin's shoulders and solemnly reminded him while looking into his eyes.
Lupin looked at Arthur's fearful face and thought that he was joking. He asked, "What will happen if I say these words?"
Sirius, who was once again enjoying his life in the Burrow, put one leg over the other and said proudly, "I don't have this kind of trouble. The ladies I meet are considerate and warm. They just caress my face and say 'Oh, my poor Sirius'."
"Your girlfriends are at best, not lovers to spend the rest of your life with." Seeing Sirius' proud look as if he was a golden bachelor, Lupin laughed and said, "Next week, I'll arrange a trip for you next week.
I didn't ask you, but I know you're generous enough to think that it's okay. You're not bad at cooking, but you're not as good as my mom. My dear, your eyes are swollen. Are you sick? Happy wedding anniversary. I modified a Muggle treadmill for you to lose weight. Remus, if you want to live a happy and long life, don't ever say these words to your wife. " Arthur seemed to be immersed in his own world and didn't pay attention to the teasing between Lupin and Sirius. Thinking of the horror he caused every time he was careless, Arthur looked at his wife in the kitchen with eyes full of horror. His hands were clasped together to prevent himself from trembling with fear.
"Uh … Arthur?" Lupin felt the force on his shoulder and the other party's state of recollection. Only then did he realize that the other party was not joking...
Sirius also unconsciously put down his legs and sat up straight on the sofa. His expression was a bit like Ron when he faced Harry. He said to Lupin with a serious face, "You better listen to him."
