Chapter 277: Grace’S Pursuit, Changing Fate Against Fate Snape
Grace's home is an apartment in the Fulham district of Inner London, and it only took Wayne less than five minutes to find the door.
"You came so quickly?" Grace was very surprised when she opened the door to see the young man arriving so quickly.
"If you finish it early, I can go back and rest."
Grace was dressed very coolly, and her silk nightgown also fully showed off her good figure.
Wayne walked in without blinking and looked at the shoe cabinet at the entrance, "Do you need to change shoes?"
"No need." Grace yawned, not caring that her sling was about to slip off.
"Speaking of which, you are not the first guest to come to my house..."
This is a small apartment with two bedrooms and one living room. The area is not large. Things in the house are placed very randomly and it looks a bit messy.
Grace took Wayne to sit on the sofa.
The door of a room opened, and Wayne saw several bookshelves and a writing desk inside, which had been converted into a study room. He couldn't help but asked curiously:
"Don't uncle and aunt live here?"
"Are you talking about my parents?" Grace sat down next to the boy, her head still hanging on his shoulders, and whispered:
"I grew up in an orphanage."
Wayne was silent for two seconds.
"Feel sorry."
"There's nothing to apologize for." Grace smiled, "I moved out of the orphanage and rented this house after I was sixteen. When I make money in the future, I will buy it and transform it into
Teacher's house. "
"It's a bit small. Have you considered changing it to a bigger one?"
Seeing that Grace really didn't care about this, Wayne was relieved and asked jokingly.
"You think I am you, Earl Lawrence." Grace patted the boy angrily: "With London's housing prices, I don't know how long it will take me to afford a house here."
Wayne took the opportunity to get down to business. "What a coincidence, I came here today just to talk about a big deal with you."
"As long as it's done, you can easily buy this house."
"You really want to support me, do you?" Grace looked strange, and put her hands on her chest pretending to be afraid, which made Wayne's eyelids jump.
He puts his hands in front of his chest for defense. What are you trying to squeeze in here? Are you trying to speed up his attack?
"Don't make trouble, I'm serious."
"Oh." Grace immediately became obedient, and her attitude changed so quickly that it took Wayne a long time to react, and he sighed helplessly.
"Tell me first, how much money have you made from following the expedition team in the past few months?"
After thinking for a moment, Grace replied: "Not counting Bojinbok's compensation, I made about three hundred galleons from selling some things.
"But I also made some money in Muggle currency. Some of the antiques in it were quite valuable, and they were exchanged for several thousand pounds 27q.'
"Then what do you think of your teammates' strength?" Wayne asked again.
"Very average." Grace shook her head: "If it weren't for the difficulty of getting along, very few wizards with powerful magic would choose to do this line of work."
"This is the end."
Wayne spread his hands and advised: "There is no future in following those bastards. You might as well listen to me and go to the Ministry of Magic to train for a while. As for exploring the ancient tombs, we will wait until you become stronger, or after I graduate. It’s okay to form a team.”
"Those tombs are buried underground, and they won't run away on their own."
"Hahaha."
Grace was amused by Wayne's description, but she still couldn't make up her mind.
after all
"May I ask, why are you so obsessed with the cause of Hufflepuff's death?" Wayne asked curiously, seeing her confused look.
"Actually...I can't tell clearly.'"
Grace bit her lip: "Before I enrolled in school, I read some basic information about the school and I was very fond of the name Hufflepuff... Before the Sorting Hat made a decision, I knew I would be sorted into Hufflepuff. "
"Then...I looked up a lot of information about Hufflepuff and became more and more interested in her. However, after the school was established, she mysteriously disappeared, and there was no subsequent record of her."
"Anyway, it's an inexplicable fate."
Grace couldn't describe this feeling.
Intuition, emotion, energy…
There are various factors.
Seeing her like this, Wayne didn't ask any more questions, but continued to persuade:
"Then you should improve your strength first and collect more information. If you really find clues, you don't think you can break into a powerful ancient tomb with just a few teammates, right?"
"What does this have to do with going to the Ministry of Magic?" Grace asked in confusion.
Wayne took out an envelope and handed it to her.
Opening the envelope, Grace took out the parchment inside. After reading it, she said in surprise: "Auror training class?"
Wayne nodded lightly: "With your grades, you can definitely apply to become an Auror. Even if you are not interested in this job, you can still use the things taught here.
He asked Mrs. Greengrass to get it.
If you want to become an Auror, you don't just have to meet the academic standards, you also have to go through a series of reviews.
Usually, before becoming an Auror, you have to train for about three years. You can only officially join the job after passing the test. The assessment items are also very comprehensive.
It not only tests a person's combat effectiveness, but also tests the law, black magic investigation, intelligence detection, and even physical fitness.
Grace will definitely gain something if she goes to training for a few years.
Wayne had done this, and Grace knew that it would be too much for her to refuse again, so she nodded lightly and agreed.
"Then I'll listen to you."
A smile finally appeared on Wayne's face.
"You're welcome. If you find anything good when you explore the ancient tomb in the future, you can sell it to me. The price is negotiable.
With that said, Wayne held Grace's hand.
"Now, it's time to mend your demons...
The last few days of the vacation passed quickly. Wayne didn't go anywhere. Instead, he accompanied Nagini to look at the store in Diagon Alley.
After discovering that he was here, Valor and McKay came to the door, and they encountered new trouble.
"Boss." Hua Luo said with a bitter face: "Those two old goblins are not satisfied with the current dividends and want more gold."
"They also threatened to lead other goblins on strike if they were not given more shares."
"I guessed it a long time ago."
Wayne wasn't surprised.
The greed of goblins is endless, never expect them to be grateful.
Seeing that the sales of Firebolts were so hot and the supply exceeded the demand, the two goblins naturally became more greedy.
Wayne was already prepared for this.
"You go find a goblin named Bell. I asked him to secretly learn the skills of those two old guys."
"If the level is about the same, bring him up and give all the goblins a little more salary. As for those two old guys, just show some flaws and let them be greedy for money. After you capture the evidence, hand it over directly to the Ministry of Magic and put them to death. Sent to Azkaban."
Hua Luo was stunned: "Boss, you actually planted a spy?"
"Basic operations." Wayne waved his hand, "Since these two goblins have squeezed the other goblins for so long, some people will definitely be dissatisfied. Remember, if Bell also has evil intentions, follow the same process."
"The most indispensable thing in this world is greedy fairies. As long as you give them money, they will betray the clan."
Valor and McKay knelt down directly.
The last day came.
Wayne just went to Knockturn Alley and took away "Magic of Zhiyu" from the Bojin Bock store.
By the way, I also received a reward of one thousand galleons.
"You can keep an eye out for any news related to Hufflepuff in the future."
Looking at Bock's respectful attitude, Wayne made a request.
Bojin Bock naturally did not dare to neglect, and said that he would take the initiative to search for it, and would also contact the pure-blood families he was familiar with to see if they had any clues.
"By the way, how do you plan to deal with the Rozier family?"
Before leaving, Wayne suddenly remembered something and asked curiously.
"Haha..." Bock showed a sneer: "I am just making you laugh. I am just a small businessman. I can't afford to offend the Rozier family, which has a large number of people. I can only give them a few gadgets to vent their anger.
Wayne knew that the gadget he was talking about was not a gift.
Bock has a roomful of dark magic items, and just taking out a few of them would be enough for the Rozier family.
Leaving Knockturn Alley, Wayne apparated to the door of Snape's house.
Only then did he realize that Snape, who had not been home for Christmas for ten thousand years, actually came home this year.
Are you not protecting Harry?
With such doubts, Wayne knocked on the door. There were hurried footsteps in the house, and the door was quickly opened.
Snape's foul face appeared in front of him.
"You finally came."
"It's vacation now, and I don't have enough time to spend with my girlfriend. Is there anything I can't talk about at school?"
Wayne walked into the room grumbling.
Just like the last time he came here, the room was very dark and depressing.
Snape turned a deaf ear to this, closed the door, cast a few ciff spells, and then came to the bookshelf.
The wand was lightly tapped on the bookshelf, and the bookshelf was pushed open from the middle to both sides, revealing a secret passage.
"So mysterious?"
Wayne became even more curious and followed Snape in.
There is a single bed in the closed room, with a man lying on the bed. There are two operating tables beside the wall, with several crucibles and various potion raw materials on them.
Wayne didn't look carefully, his attention was completely attracted by the person on the bed.
"You started doing experiments again?" He didn't bother to ask where the unlucky guy on the bed came from.
"No." Snape said coldly, "I never stopped."
"I told you, you can't succeed." Wayne sighed.
He understood Snape's obsession. Lily's death was an eternal pain in his heart, but resurrecting a person was not that simple. There were too many things to consider.
"Indeed, I haven't succeeded yet." Walking to the single bed, Snape lowered his head and said with some excitement, "But I have already succeeded halfway!"
"Half?" Wayne looked at him confused: "What do you mean?"
"Come and see for yourself." Snape motioned for Wayne to step forward.
The young man walked over and looked down at the man on the bed.
His breathing was steady, his body temperature and heartbeat were normal, but his face was paler than ordinary people.
Wayne's face gradually became serious, and he discovered something was abnormal.
At first he thought that this man was just put into a coma by Snape so that he could conduct experiments.
But after observing for a while, I rejected this idea.
Breathing is too even and much slower than normal.
It's like...
"The living dead?"
The young man's eyes glowed with blue light, and he had unknowingly used clairvoyance magic to observe the changes in this person's body.
"how did you do that."
After watching for five minutes, Wayne finally lost his magic and asked doubtfully.
"Did you catch a dementor and give this guy a kiss?"
Snape's eyes lit up: "Yes! This is the state!"
"I have never been able to find a suitable metaphor to describe it.
What you said is very good!" Snape bent down and spoke enthusiastically, as if he was admiring the most perfect work of art in the world.
When Wayne saw his appearance, he thought of the words he just said, "Half the battle is won," and looked shocked: "Don't say this person is already dead..."
"Five days, he was dead for five days." Snape said excitedly, which was very different from his usual gloomy tone.
"At that time, his body had begun to stink and was even decomposing and putrefying.
"But when I gave him the magic potion, everything returned to the way it was before. It was like... he came back to life!"
Wayne frowned upon hearing this.
This is too disgusting to say...
However, he was still very shocked. He didn't expect Snape to be able to do this.
Even with the material bonus, it far exceeded the limit of his talent, and even exceeded the limit of the subject of potions.
"Lawrence, now there is only one last step, the last step."
Snape turned his head sharply and looked at him with a pleading look that he had never seen before: "Please help me, I need more experiments, I must bring... her back.
"Professor..." Wayne sighed.
At this time, he had no intention of teasing.
Regardless of whether Snape is a good guy or a bad guy, his persistence and emotion are admirable.
He also understood why Snape stopped talking about it at school.
If Lao Deng knew about such an anti-human experiment...
Um?
Wayne suddenly thought of Ariana. If Lao Deng knew about it, he would probably want Snape to succeed immediately, right?
"I underestimated you before." Wayne admitted his mistake frankly: "Being able to turn a corpse that has been dead for a long time into a vegetative state can be called ten miracles."
Snape said nothing, still staring at him closely.
"But..." Wayne observed the 'experiment', "As you can see, this is just a body, lacking a soul."
"Soul..." Snape muttered.
"I wonder if you've ever talked to Ghost about this."
Wayne continued: "After a person dies, his soul will go to another place. Some people are afraid of death and choose to stay, so they become ghosts."
"That is to say...what you are missing now is the soul of the person you want to resurrect.'
With that said, Wayne's wand shot out a green arc of electricity, hitting the living dead lying on the bed.
The body of the living dead trembled slightly.
"Did you see it? Although the Cruciatus Curse is said to be about cutting out the heart and bones, some of its power actually acts on the soul. This is just the body's instinctive reaction.
"What's more, since this is a magic potion, the resurrected person must be able to use it, right?"
"Can you still find her complete body now?"
Snape fell to the ground as if all his strength had been taken away from him.
Everything Wayne said was a problem that he couldn't solve now.
Complete body, Lily's soul.
Where should he look?
"Don't be too discouraged." Wayne kindly advised: "This can be considered as completing one-third of the goal. As long as people are still alive, there will be hope."
"I don't need you to comfort me. Snape got up from the ground, and the brilliance in his eyes regrouped:
"As long as I'm alive, it's absolutely impossible to give up."
"I'm optimistic about you." Wayne gave a thumbs up.
Snape did give him a big surprise.
He wanted to see how far Snape could go with his feelings for Lily.
Wayne suddenly understood why Dumbledore always emphasized that love is the greatest magic in the world.
Isn't this a living example?
"What's the use of just talking." Snape returned to his usual annoying demeanor: "I've run out of materials, why don't you sponsor some?"
"Of course." Wayne kept smiling: "As long as you hand over this potion formula, anything can be said."
Snape's face slowly darkened.
This brat is still as annoying as ever!
Thanks to [Looking at the Moon under the Snow] and [19955..] for the reward.
By the way, I want to correct an error. Nicolas Flamel knew that Wayne had the Gryffindor sword, but thought it was taken away by Dumbledore and hadn't returned it yet. The previous article has been modified. No.
Just like typos, you have to wait until the review is approved before you can see the revised version.
Thank you readers for your great corrections!
Oh, yes, there will be another chapter soon, it must be too late. .
