I'm in Hogwarts, what the hell is the Honghuang system?

Chapter 75: Xifu, it’s all over (35)

Looking at the translucent soul condensed in the photo - that was exactly what Lily looked like, Snape made a trembling sound.

But the next second, his face turned pale and he lowered his head in pain.

He was not yet ready to face Lily.

I am a despicable traitor.

If it weren't for me, Lily wouldn't have died.

Fortunately, at this moment, after Lily's soul was initially confused when she was called back, her attention was focused on the sleeping Harry.

The feeling that blood is thicker than water made Lily shed tears of excitement.

"Harry?"

"is it you?"

"My Harry has grown this big?"

But after a moment, Lily looked at Harry's outfit and makeup with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

"But isn't my Harry a boy? Why does he look like a beautiful girl now?"

Rhine, who was still trying to summon the soul, said this.

"Hello Aunt Lily, I'm Harry's roommate and good friend. My name is Rhine."

"Harry saw your photo back then and wanted to be closer to you, so he dressed as a woman."

Lily looked at Harry with pity and guilt.

"Poor child, I was never with him when he was growing up."

Immediately, Lily thanked Rhine again.

"Rhine? You're a good kid with incredible abilities. Thank you."

"Can you please wake up Harry? I want to hear him talk."

Rhine shook his head at Lily's request.

"Not yet, Auntie."

"Harry has just started attending Hogwarts. He still has a lot to learn. If he were to see you now, he would not want to do anything but think about reviving your soul every day."

"It's not good for him."

Lily sighed softly but nodded.

"You're right, this is not good for him."

"But we'll have a chance to meet again, right?"

Rhine nodded affirmatively.

"Yes, when Harry is more mature and ready, you can meet."

Lily smiled delightedly and tried to touch Harry.

Even if she couldn't touch him, just glancing at Harry's outline made Lily shed tears.

Harry, who was in a coma, seemed to have sensed something and couldn't help mumbling in his sleep.

"Mother?"

After a long while, the crying Lily's soul finally calmed down.

Then her gaze fell on Snape beside her.

"Severus?"

Lily's surprised voice sounded.

"Why are you at Hogwarts?"

Snape's voice was low and trembling.

"After the You-Know-Who was defeated by Harry, I was invited by Dumbledore to become the Potions Professor at Hogwarts and the Head of Slytherin."

"Lily..."

Even though it had been many years since the seventh grade photo, Lily still reacted the same way as the photo did when she heard the news - joy that her old friend had turned over a new leaf.

"That's very kind of you, Sev."

"Harry, you're already this old now. It's been many years. You've finally stopped doing those wrong things, right?"

"You must be a renowned Potions Master and a respected professor by now. I've told you long ago that this path will also allow you to obtain what you want."

Even when her eyes fell on Snape's hair, Lily sighed.

"It's your hair. How come after all these years, you still won't listen to my advice?"

"Have you washed your hair properly? I gave you shampoo before, and you're still angry. If you keep this up, you'll become Bald Sif."

Snape smiled the brightest smile Rhine had ever seen since he met him, as if the dark clouds were finally penetrated by the sun.

He nodded obediently.

"I know. I'll wash my hair properly."

Then Snape clenched his fists and fell silent.

Lily looked at Snape.

"What's wrong, Sev?"

Snape bit his lips hard, pierced his fingers into his palms, blood dripped down, and his eyes were already red.

"Lily, it's me." "Back then, I overheard Trelawney's prophecy. I told the prophecy to that person about the child..."

"I never, never thought it would be your child. I, I..."

Lily looked at Snape with a complicated expression.

Under her gaze, Snape lost all ability to defend himself, lowered his head dejectedly, and said miserably.

"I'm a despicable person."

"I am indeed... not as good as James Potter."

Lily let out a long sigh.

"Siv, you did something wrong."

"But have you been happy all these years? Have you been happy even for one day?"

Snape seemed to be half laughing and half crying.

"Every day is like hell."

Lily held out her hand to him, a look of pity on her face.

"That's pathetic, Sev."

"I can't say anything for James, and I can't say anything for Harry, but if it were me..."

"I just want to tell you, Sev, it's over."

"If you really want to repent and atone for your sins, then let yourself go, live a good life, help me protect Harry, and teach the students well."

"I'm glad you came back, Sev. I'll always remember our friendship."

Lily's words made Snape feel like he was struck by lightning. She stretched out her hand towards Snape with pity, and her hand brushed past Snape's fingertips.

Then, Lily's figure began to fade.

Snape growled as if he were being gouged out by a knife.

"No!"

"Stay, stay a little longer!"

He was answered by Rhine's struggling voice.

"Professor, you have to distinguish between having a full meal and not having enough every meal."

"Do you know how tiring it is for me to maintain the Soul Summoning?"

Snape turned his head and saw Rhine with a pale face.

Rhine's forehead was covered with sweat. He had not expected that the consumption of maintaining the soul summoning would be so huge.

And with every passing second, the consumption is rising.

The earth spirit, the one who feeds on wind and drinks dew, and the ghost of the night, could not hold on even if all the spiritual energy was poured into it, and it also absorbed Rhine's own blood.

At this moment, Rhine felt like an ordinary person who had run ten kilometers, his legs were shaking.

After a moment, the soul-calling effect completely failed, and Lily's soul faded rapidly.

Snape growled unwillingly.

"Lily, I will revive you. I will definitely revive you!"

But the next moment, fear appeared in Lily's soul eyes.

"Sev, don't..."

"Resurrection, taboo, horror..."

The fragmented words were gone with the wind.

Rhine gasped heavily and collapsed to the ground.

Looking at the distraught Snape, Rhine spoke.

"Professor, come back to your senses. You need to cheer up."

"Did you hear Aunt Lily's last words?"

Snape shook his head sharply.

"Resurrection is taboo and terrifying. She told me not to try it."

But he clenched his fists tightly, his eyes burning with fire.

"But how could I not try?"

"No taboo can stop me, not even the god of death!"

Immediately, Snape looked at Rhine, who was extremely tired, moved his lips twice, and uttered a sentence with difficulty.

"Thank you."

Rhine's eyes widened.

Information appeared on the system screen.
