Hogwarts: Becoming the White Lord from Breathing

Chapter 109 The Collapsed Blood Man Barrow

“Barrow the Blood Man found me in the forests of Albania. He wanted me to go back, but I refused. We had a fierce argument.”

"In the end, he killed me, and my mother died of grief after hearing about it."

After a long silence, Helena's expression returned to normal.

"This is what I wanted to tell you: you are too obsessed with power and glory, which will lead you astray. I hope my story can serve as a wake-up call for you. In this way, all the foolish things I have done may have a last bit of insignificant value."

As she spoke, she was about to cry again.

"Helena, this is not your fault."

The sorrowful woman raised her head and stared at him blankly.

"In my opinion, what you did was not even a mistake. You just took your mother's crown, which is no different from a Muggle child stealing his mother's lipstick out of curiosity."

The real culprit behind all this tragedy is the foolish, bloodthirsty Barrow. Frankly, I don't understand how someone as intelligent as Ms. Ravenclaw could let such an impulsive killer come to you.

"You mean to say that none of this is my fault?"

"Of course not. If Blood Man Barrow hadn't killed you in a fit of rage, wouldn't all of this have been salvageable?"

"Of course, that's what I thought too, but many of them advised me that a lot of time has passed and I should let go of the Blood Man Barrow, who has suffered for thousands of years. I think he is already reflecting on his actions."

“Of course not.” Damon sneered. “Why should we forgive people who have made mistakes just because they feel guilty? Especially for something that is fundamentally unforgivable!”
Forgiving them is Merlin's job; all we can do is send them to hell.

"I've never thought that way before, although I do hate Barrow the Blood Man. You're right, forgiving him is what Merlin should do. He did such terrible things to me, he even ruined my chance to see my mother one last time and repent! He deserves to die!"

Helena's eyes grew brighter as she spoke.

"So, Blood Man Barrow, do you have the courage to admit all of this?"

"of course."

A blood-red shadowy figure drifted forward, its terrifying appearance no longer bearing the ferocity of the past.

“I live to atone for my sins, and I will do whatever Helena wants to me.”

Helena's gaze became hesitant as she looked at Damon. "What should I do for him? In fact, even seeing him makes me sad. No matter what I do for him, I can't undo the harm he caused me."

"Well, in my opinion, death is the cruelest punishment—undoubtedly, he is dead, but there are still people in this world who remember him."

Only when no one talks about Barrow the Blood Man anymore, and no one talks about your absurd and tragic past with him, will he truly be dead.

But in any case, he is no longer qualified to live in this world as a ghost.

If he truly felt remorse, I think he should be dead by now.

Do you think that's enough?

"Can you think of anything crueler? I even think that with his thick skin, any unnecessary thing you do will make him feel comforted."

"Would you be willing to help me? I'd like to entrust this matter to you."

Helena looked at Damon. She really didn't want to face the blood-soaked Barrow anymore.

"No problem, but let me make this clear from the start: since you've chosen to hand it over to me, you can't interfere anymore."

".Can."

Damon looked at Barrow the Blood Man. He was a noble and powerful ghost, feared by most of the ghosts in the castle, but to Damon, he only felt more disgusted by him.

"Barrow the Blood Man, Helena will never forgive you."

The blood-red ghost, its face contorted in pain, lamented:

“I know I have committed an unforgivable sin that I can never atone for in my lifetime.”

“No, of course you can make amends, and it’s the only thing you can do, but are you willing to do it?” “...What is it? Why not let Helena say it?”

"You hurt Helena, yet you expect the victim to confront you? Are there any other shameless people in the world like you?"

Damon sneered, his attitude befitting a villain—but Helena no longer saw him as Voldemort.

"Then, what do you want me to do? I'll do anything to get Helena to forgive me, even just a little bit!"

"Then ascend to heaven immediately."

".What did you say?"

Barrow, the blood-soaked man, stared wide-eyed, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"I said, please stop coveting everything in this world and ascend to heaven immediately."

"What nonsense are you talking about! When did I ever covet anything! If Helena is willing to forgive me, I'd even be willing to disappear right now!"

Blood Man Barrow roared in fury!

His imposing presence was so overwhelming that any ghost standing before him would likely turn away in fear.

But Damon and Helena just watched him quietly.

"So what?" Damon's unwavering gaze remained steadfast. "Helena will never forgive you. What you did is simply unforgivable."

But if you disappear now, at least she'll be more comfortable for the rest of her life. Don't you want that?

"Of course I'm willing, but I haven't atoned yet."

A conflicted look appeared on Barrow's face.

His words became ambiguous: "I will only ascend to heaven when Helena forgives me; otherwise, I will spend my whole life begging for her forgiveness."

“Look at him, what a disgusting guy.” Damon sneered, pointing at him and saying to Helena beside him, “Even after you’ve told him all this, even though his very existence is a form of harm to you, he still chooses to continue hurting you and then finds a way for you to forgive him through that harm.”

"Barrow the Blood Man, don't you think you're despicable?"

"No, I'm not like that."

Barrow, the blood man, looked up in horror and found that Helena's gaze had changed—it was no longer filled with the entanglement of the past, but instead with indifference and mockery.

"No, Helena. Don't look at me like that. I love you. I..."

"Look at this despicable and disgusting person, who actually expects others to forgive him?"
Bloody Barrow, I'll say it again! Your immediate disappearance is the greatest help you can give Helena. As for forgiveness? Do you think what you did was something like child's play?
You killed a young girl in the prime of her life, ruining her life. You murderer, driven to rage by rejected advances, you are as despicable as a maggot in the sewers. If you want Helena and me to respect you one last time, now, immediately, disappear from this world forever!

"No! You're wrong! You're wrong!"

Barrow the Blood Man roared, his roar echoing throughout Hogwarts, waking everyone, whether they were asleep or awake.

They couldn't understand why Blood Man Barrow had gone mad.

First, Professor McGonagall appeared, followed by Snape and Professor Flitwick, and then more professors gathered together; the ghosts were all gathered in the sky.

"Fine!!!" Damon was unconcerned about the stares from the crowd. "You despicable bastard, you've once again lowered my expectations of you. Did you think that by yelling at so many people, you could cover for me?"

If you still have even the last shred of conscience, you should disappear from this world immediately!

Helena, tell him your decision!

Helena looked at the roaring, blood-soaked Barrow and felt that she had never seen him so disgusting—she even felt a little sorry for him for a few moments.
"Barrow the Blood Man, I will never, ever forgive you!"

"No, Helena...no...don't do this." The Crimson Ghost's gaze darted towards Helena, his whole body trembling.

"No!!!!!!!!"
