Chapter 494

Cold! Very cold!

Maka is now lying in the snow pretending to be dead. The cold weather really makes him feel so cold that his joints begin to stiffen.

In addition, he had to be distracted. When he transformed a fake soul like Snape with deformation, he had to do his best to stabilize his soul, or he would be shocked out of the body by the power of the landing round mirror.

To tell the truth, almost all the difficulties in this plan from beginning to end are concentrated here. Although he had made some preparations for this at Hermione's house, who knows if there will be any complications?

Even the scam has been going well - just now, he mocked Harry severely disguised as Snape, vividly interpreted Snape's annoying side, and finally turned back and left with an unwilling face under Hermione's cooperation.

But it was so smooth that he became more cautious.

But fortunately, this time, the mysterious time rule did not cause him any other accidents. When he finally got to the end of the ticking in his ear, he suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief.

Then, he couldn't wait to get up and quickly withdrew from the influence range of the landing round mirror. In order to ensure that the whole play was safe, he looked back.

"Good, we're gone," Marca whispered to herself, looking at a position in the distance.

Last time, he decided to use the time converter again immediately in order not to delay time. This time, of course, he still had the same idea.

Although it is the same to go back five hours each time, there will be some delays. He doesn't know how many times he will go back, so he must embark on the next journey as soon as possible. So repeatedly until he completely solved the incident.

This is the third time he has used the time converter. To be honest, he has had a good experience every time, trying to catch some clues about the time rule runes in the process of tracing back time.

Unfortunately, let alone rule runes, he couldn't find more features of time rules.

But at least, he has a good direction on how to break the deadlock.

Soon, when he got out of the state of time tracing, he left here with the door key for the first time. The last time he had his thoughts sorted out before going to Hermione's house, so now he still had a chance to get there first.

……

About half an hour later, spider tail lane.

This is a dilapidated town on the outskirts of cockworth. It is lonely against a dirty river. The town is full of dilapidated old houses. In the north of the town, there is a whole piece of abandoned factories. Sparse street lights flash and go out, extending to the depths of those factories.

In the night before dawn, this gloomy town is like a ghost town directly moved out of the Muggle horror story.

At this time, a thin figure suddenly appeared in a deserted alley. He was wearing a black robe, which floated silently with his fast pace, but was inconspicuous in the dark alley.

The man seems to have something important to do. He walks step by step. But even at this time, his gloomy eyes still scanned everything in front of him in the alley, showing his disgust with the place.

What on earth made him hate here so much? So that when you set foot on this land, you will show this expression of extreme intolerance?

He walked very fast and took a big step. He just turned a corner and came to the door of a room within a few steps. The old house is similar to other buildings around it. It looks so dilapidated, but at least it is one of the few bright houses here.

"Squeak --" bang! "

Accompanied by a bitter sound of opening the door, the man walked in without hesitation and closed the door.

"Severus, you're back."

"Yes."

Not long after he went in, two slight voices of conversation came out of the door. The man's voice is still cold, vaguely with a trace of irritability; The woman's voice is still timid, but it contains a rare ray of joy.

"Didn't I say? You don't have to wait for me to come back today. Why are you still sitting here?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, but -"

"No, but!"

"OK, ok... I'll go to bed now... There's food left for you on the table..."

"I see."

"... oh."

After that, the simple conversation between the two ended. With a series of soft and inaudible footsteps, it seemed that the woman went upstairs.

But none of them found that at present, by the window outside the house, there was an uninvited guest who brought the dialogue into his ears without missing a word.

Standing outside, it was Marca who followed Snape. He knew that the woman who had talked to Snape must be TIA.

Just before that, he arrived at Granger's house before the last one, and secretly left a mark on Snape. This time, he won't deal with it in such a hurry as last time.

He took out his staff and first cast an anti phantom shape shifting spell on the old house. Then he opened the door and strode in.

This town is a Muggle Town, and the furnishings in the house are more Muggle style. Compared with the black and dirty brick wall outside, the living room Marka saw was obviously much better.

Simple dining tables with plain tablecloths, brick fireplaces with sparks, and bookshelves everywhere are easy to think of Snape himself. He is not only a master of magic medicine, but also an excellent wizard. In addition to his own talent, what makes him achieve all this is his dedication and persistence.

Even the living room, like himself, doesn't have much miscellaneous furniture. Just as he loved Lily all his life, he was also absorbed in the endless knowledge of magic.

Marca was bathed in the orange fire emitted from the fireplace, and looked at Snape with a little surprise. They both had different exclamations in their hearts.

"... you're still catching up." snape put down his fork, wiped his mouth with his napkin, and threw it aside.

"To tell you the truth, I don't want to follow," Marca looked at him, "because when I found myself in spider tail lane, I knew that you must not welcome anyone."

"Who knows?" snape shook his head lightly. "Maybe you're right. This place... Even I don't want to come back..."

This is Snape's hometown. Even if he doesn't want to admit it, it's the only place he can call home.

In this small town, in this small house, he experienced the most disgusting childhood.

As a Muggle father and a pure blood wizard's mother often quarreled, thus ignoring his life, so that he had a very sloppy life since childhood.

It is said that when he was young, he didn't have a serious dress. He was often an ill fitting old suit, plus a wrinkled shirt and dirty jeans. His hair, which was greasy since childhood, looked like it had not been washed for a long time.

Snape's childhood is a childhood without parental care.

However, it was also in this small town that he met Lily Evans for the first time. It was the girl who made him fall in love at first sight and fell in love all his life that lit up his gray life very similar to that of this dilapidated town.

For Snape, this broken hometown undoubtedly contains all kinds of bitter, spicy, sour and sweet tastes, which he will never forget in his life.

Maka stared at Snape's calm face and tasted the complex emotions behind it. After a while, he looked away and looked around in the small living room for a week.

"... TIA, how are you?" he asked inexplicably, seemingly irrelevant.

Snape heard the speech and subconsciously glanced upstairs.

"Nothing bad," he replied blandly.

They both spoke softly, obviously not to be heard by TIA upstairs. For that confused woman, Marca didn't know what Snape thought and planned.

It can be seen from Snape's leaving TIA in the house that he probably accepted the sister who came out of thin air. However, in front of lily, TIA's unexpected sister was not as important as she thought.

Otherwise, Snape wouldn't have kidnapped Hermione.

Although Marca now knows that Snape, who devoted himself to the mysterious round mirror, is actually himself. But in terms of Snape's kidnapping of Hermione, Snape would have done the same without him.

Even now, when greenward succeeds, Snape, who knows the success of the plan, may still hurry and firmly step into the area that others are afraid to avoid.

"What about after that? Will she be all right?"

Faced with Snape who was perfunctory, Maka insisted on asking.

Between the living TIA and the dead lily, Snape would still choose the latter. But in this way, TIA, who has just got a brother, will have to face the pain of losing her relatives again.

While admiring Snape's love, Maka can't help sighing for his ruthlessness.

"Hum..." snape chuckled and said calmly, "this family is not worth her coming back. Being born in this family is a pain. After today, she will forget all this - she will not remember her parents who abandoned her, nor will she remember my brother who abandoned her."
