Chapter 230: Hogwarts without Della - A night of chaos caused by Miss White (2)
Crookshanks led the way, Sirius turned back into a black dog, and in order to move quickly, Miss White maintained the appearance of Lily Potter, with a blush on her face as she ran.
They moved quickly, trying to escape from the castle as soon as possible, but when they reached the stairs, Sirius looked up. He really wanted to go up and kill Peter.
"Sirius." Miss White saw what he was thinking. She called out softly, calling Sirius back to his senses, and they followed Crookshanks down again.
When they turned the hall and were almost running to the castle, Crookshanks' ginger cat exploded. "Meow--" he screamed in a long, shrill voice, and a tall, thin, dark figure stood in front of them.
"It's so late," Snape happened to be here on night patrol. He heard the noise, and his inner vigilance and his ever-present hatred for Sirius made him directly send a thunderbolt curse, "Who is there!"
He shouted, and walked over with his wand raised, and saw a furry cat, a dirty dog and a red-haired woman (person) -
"Lily!" Snape's hand holding the wand stretched forward trembled slightly. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Lily in disbelief. The girl was wearing a school uniform robe that was one size smaller.
"Severus." Miss White had read about this gloomy man from Sirius. As soon as she called out Snape's name, she felt her body squirming all over. She raised her hand in surprise, which had instantly shrunk by one size, and found that although she was still Lily, she was no longer Lily Potter, but Lily Evans.
Obviously, she responded to Sirius's request first, but once they met, Severus Snape's desire to see his old friend made her change unconsciously.
Because this man's desire to see Lily Evans was unimaginable, and because her instinct told her that this man could make her an adult in an instant, she changed unconsciously.
"You-Lily-you," Snape saw that the twenty-something Lily had turned into a 16-year-old. His brows were tightly knitted, and he realized that something was wrong. Looking at the emerald green eyes in front of him that were exactly the same as in his memory, he couldn't say anything to question it, "You-how could you-"
"Woof—" the black dog howled and knocked down Snape, who had already begun to choke. Crookshanks also pounced over and bit Snape's right arm hard. Miss White took advantage of the chaos to grab the wand that had fallen to the ground.
"Dizzy-" Miss White pointed her wand at Snape, who was fighting with the black dog on the ground. She knew she should cast a sleeping spell on Snape, but looking at Snape's bloody arm, looking at the amount of blood that was enough to make her a human, Miss White stopped the spell.
Should she really cast a sleeping spell on Snape?
The purpose of the sleeping spell was to allow Sirius to leave here alive, but her purpose from beginning to end was to complete the transition mission and become a human.
Right now, there is an opportunity to completely transform into a girl named Lily Evans.
As long as, as long as——
Miss White took a step forward, wand raised.
With enough Severus Snape's blood -
Miss White took another step forward, her wand-holding hand lowered. Although she was still some distance away from Snape, with her blurred vision focused, she could immediately touch the blood that would lead to adulthood.
"Woof!" Sirius, who was pressing on Snape, barked. Miss White paused, realizing that the dog's barking was urging her to hurry up.
"..." Miss White looked at Snape's bloody right arm, and then at Sirius's shaking body. She lowered her eyes, stroked her wand twice, and finally chanted the spell, "The thug fell to the ground!"
Snape fell down, and before he lost consciousness, the look he gave Miss White was filled with disbelief, nostalgia, love, and a bit of indescribable joy.
Lily, you're not dead...
Snape fell into darkness with this thought in mind. Sirius and his group ran out of Hogwarts Castle in the dark, but there was no Whomping Willow when they came back. They met too many people tonight, and Sirius knew that the Shrieking Shack was not safe, so he took Miss White into the Forbidden Forest.
"Huh-" Sirius, who had turned back into human form, held one hand on the tree and kept breathing, "Miss White--" He turned around and found that Miss White carefully avoided the moonlight and hid in the shadow.
"I'm sorry for making things difficult for you tonight," Crookshanks jumped onto Sirius' left shoulder. Sirius stroked Crookshanks's frizzy hair and apologized to Miss White, "I should have been more considerate of you. I let you bask in the moonlight for so long. Are you okay now, Miss White?"
"I'm fine, Sirius," Miss White, who was hiding from the moonlight behind the tree, only showed half of her face to Sirius. She used the appearance of Lily Evans in the fifth grade, and one of her eyes turned sideways to show a hazy emerald green in the moonlight. "Everyone calls me Lily, why don't you hesitate at all for my current appearance?"
"Because..." Sirius couldn't answer. When Miss White asked him this question, he realized how "Lily" Miss White was now. However, even with the knowledge that Lily reappeared before his eyes, he was not as shocked as the other three people tonight. He didn't even ask Miss White to change back to her face without facial features. "Because, because I know you are Miss White."
Sirius gave his answer and Miss White looked into his grey eyes which were always shining, and her sight gradually shifted to the waning moon hidden by clouds in the middle of the sky.
She didn't hate being Miss White, but Miss White could never live in the light. The hot sunlight and the cold moonlight could both ruin her.
And that night, she missed two opportunities to live in the light.
She read that Harry Potter wanted his mother, Lily Potter, and Severus Snape wanted his sweetheart, Lily Evans.
But when facing Harry Potter, she completely forgot about being an adult. The situation was obviously so favorable. Sirius was knocked aside, Remus Lupin collapsed to the ground, and Harry Potter only wanted his mother. She was holding the wand, but she never thought of cutting Harry Potter's arm to get blood.
The situation on Severus Snape's side was even more favorable. That was the strongest desire she had ever encountered, and the blood was right in front of her. She didn't even need to cast a tormenting spell. She could just reach out and accomplish her mission immediately.
And whether it is Lily Potter or Lily Evans, they have so many ties to them, and Lily is a wizard who is always knowledgeable and has powerful magic. This allows her to cast spells easily when she becomes Lily, and she is really a good candidate.
Miss White, who is afraid of light, cannot use spells without changing into someone else's appearance, and her knowledge is even more limited.
But when she faced Severus Snape, she almost voluntarily chose to continue to be Miss White with all the disadvantages.
Mingming's mission as a transitional personality is to become a person who can survive.
"Don't worry, I won't ask you to hide in the light all the time. I know there is an abandoned cave here." Sirius took off his clothes that were even more tattered after the fight, and used the rag to cast a shadow over Miss White's head. "I found it when I was practicing Animagus. Remus doesn't know where it is."
However, once the mission is completed, Miss White's transitional personality will disappear, and only other people's expectations will be reproduced on the doll.
"Then let's go over there," Miss White said, and she transformed back into the image of the Shrieking Shack during this period with long silver hair and no facial features but only fine contours, "Sirius."
"Okay, be careful, Miss White." Sirius didn't show any strangeness at Miss White's return to her creepy appearance. He just carefully protected her and tried his best to let Miss White be exposed to less moonlight.
Miss White understood why she did not complete her mission tonight, and as a transitional personality, she began to not want to disappear.
but--
Miss White stepped forward in the shadow that Sirius was trying to maintain, holding a few strands of red hair that she had pulled into her palm before her hair turned back to silver.
Being able to live in the light is the most important thing. After all, destruction is a more complete disappearance, and she doesn't want to experience it again.
If she had another opportunity like tonight, she would complete her mission.
