who moved my coffin

When Severus Snape arrived at the Potters' house in Highspine Valley, it was still in the state of a crime scene.

James Potter fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, and his dilated pupils told Severus that this student opponent was really dead at this moment.

Stiff and trembling legs going up the stairs, walking slowly along the long corridor, pushing open the half-closed nursery door, Severus Snape saw the familiar figure lying on the ground with his back turned to him in an instant , as if his breath was taken away all at once, his reddish-brown hair was stained with blood in his eyes.

"Oh, no! Merlin!" Severus made a choked grunt in his throat, he strode to Lily's body in one stride, stretched out his hands but didn't dare to touch her, "How could this be? How could this be ?”

Finally unable to hold back Lily's body, the young potions master roared like a beast.

"Did the Death Eaters do it?" A familiar old voice came from behind, the grieving Snape didn't listen to his question at all, just hugged Lily and cried bitterly.

"Calm down, Severus, tell me, did the Death Eaters do it?" Dumbledore walked across to Snape, squatted down, and the old man's rarely serious expression finally returned to Snape's rationality.

"...I, I don't know!" Snape answered choked up, raised his head in confusion and pain, and looked straight into Dumbledore's piercing blue eyes.

Dumbledore squinted his eyes. Snape, who was defenseless at the moment, flooded the headmaster's mind without reservation for a moment. Except for his little reaction after hearing the bad news, it was all about being with Lily Memories of that time.

The old headmaster gave Snape an apologetic look. It was a last resort to take advantage of Snape's most distressed time and use "Legiliency". Snape's internal defenses were extremely tight, and other Death Eaters had been acting strangely lately. Although Dumbledore also had a preliminary guess in his mind, the deaths of the Potters might not be what the Death Eaters claimed, but it is still necessary to get accurate information from relevant people to be more assured.

James Potter is his beloved disciple, and the excellence of the Potters is obvious to all. The anger in Dumbledore's heart is indescribable at the moment, but he is an experienced old man after all. At critical times, it is best to calm down and look for clues. important.

"Severus, listen to me, calm down, and listen to me carefully..." Dumbledore comforted Snape patiently, "Lily is gone, we are all sad, but at this moment, the most important thing is to find their murderer , those people took the child away!"

"Why!" Snape seemed to be still immersed in grief, constantly blaming himself and regretting, but it was difficult to turn his attention back.

"Wake up, Severus Snape!" Dumbledore's persuasion was useless, he couldn't help but roared, and a spring of clear water poured on Snape's head, drenching him to the core.

Snape shuddered and couldn't help but divert his attention. When he saw that the person opposite was Dumbledore, he subconsciously emptied his mind and showed a vigilant look.

Dumbledore sighed, now that Snape finally recovered his sobriety, but the grief and forbearable anger hidden under his defensive eyes were even more obvious.

"What do you want to tell me?" Snape slowly put down Lily's body, looked at her with nostalgia, and finally averted his eyes.

"Listen, Severus, you have to find out who killed James and the others, you are a Death Eater, you have to find out if Vidy Gunther did it." Dumbledore said seriously, and he stretched out his hand He wanted to pat Snape on the shoulder, but Snape took two steps back defensively, dodging his hand.

"Don't worry, I will investigate naturally, Your Excellency, I am more concerned about this matter than anyone else!" Snape looked away, and accidentally saw Lily's body again, he couldn't help closing his eyes, but the words in his mouth implied that Unbearable anger.

"No, Severus, you can't ask Viddy blatantly, it may harm you..." Dumbledore said anxiously, "It will also harm everyone!"

"What do you mean?" Snape growled, "Do you think I'm a Death Eater and I'll let those lowly murderers go? I'm not down to that level yet?"

Dumbledore shook his head, stretched out his hand to silence, "Speak softly, Severus, there are many people who want to ignite the flames of war between the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix, don't be the fuse, You know? This is very important, don't let the real murderer go unpunished!"

Snape opened his eyes wide, thought of something quickly, sneered twice, "Understood, thank you for reminding, Your Excellency, I will not let the murderer go, no matter who he is."

Snape turned away, out of Dumbledore's sight.

The old headmaster stared blankly at Snape's leaving back, and sighed.

———Scene dividing line———

When Sirius Black showed up at the Broken Ax, bloodied, stumbling around in Harry's swaddling baby.

"My God, that's Blake!" the bar owner Tom yelled, and quickly threw him from the counter to help Blake.

Another member of the Order of the Phoenix quickly went to inform Dumbledore.

"A...a man named Emerton, he has something to do with...the deaths of James and Lily!" The exhausted Black had only time to say this, before he passed out with Harry in his arms, causing the people in the bar to turn their backs.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Dumbledore, who got the news, quickly walked out of the fireplace, accompanied by Professor McGonagall.

After a while, the flames of the fireplace lit up again, and Severus Snape strode out. He ignored the hostile-eyed members of the Order of the Phoenix, took out a bottle of potion in his hand, and was about to pour it down for Black. .

"What are you doing, do you want to kill someone to silence you?" Mad-Eye Moody snatched the potion from behind, and put it under the magic eyes to observe carefully.

"Alastor, return the potion to Snape!" Dumbledore said in a low voice.

"This is a powerful recovery potion!" Snape said coldly, "If I want him to tell the truth, I can also provide advanced veritaserum for free!"

He looked at the unconscious Black, as ruthlessly as if looking at a lab rat, "As long as I can tell from his mouth what happened that night and who the murderer is, I can provide any potion help for free, The premise is that I want to be there and hear the murderer’s name with my own ears.”

Dumbledore gave Snape a meaningful look, "Of course, it would be even better if you could represent the Death Eaters, Severus, we will never let the murderer go, I hope you will do the same Pass it on to Viddy and the other Death Eaters."

Snape just pursed his lips in silence.

At this time, Professor McGonagall took the potion from Moody's hand, and when he was about to transfer it to Snape, he took a step back, "If you are worried, you can use someone else to wake him up."

Professor McGonagall looked at the old headmaster, and after getting permission from his eyes, he walked over in person, supported the unconscious Sirius, and poured the potion bit by bit into Black's mouth which had been pried open.

They also carefully avoided the sleeping Harry Potter in Black's arms, and Sirius held the child tightly, unable to let him go no matter what.

While they were waiting for the potion to take effect, the fireplace was lit again, and Vidi Gunther, Lucius Malfoy, and several Death Eaters came out.

"You still dare to come!" Moody drew out his wand and was about to attack, but was stopped by Dumbledore.

"Calm down, Alastor, don't act rashly until the facts are known!" Moody only listened to Dumbledore, he nodded, put away his wand and stepped aside.

"I've heard of that prophecy, Your Excellency the Headmaster!" Vidi Gunther narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "I've always wondered who is the one who wants to provoke the struggle between the living and the dead?"

Dumbledore lowered his eyes slightly, and said seemingly casually, "It's too early to draw any conclusions, Viddy."

Vidi sneered twice, clapped his hands, and two Death Eaters stepped out, Histaro and Elena.

"Someone deliberately lured my subordinates to the scene. These two were the first Death Eaters to arrive at the scene. They were in charge of inspecting the movements of wizards in the Takashii Valley. Tell them what you saw, Histaro!"

Everyone's eyes turned to Histaro at once, and Snape's eyes were especially sharp.

"Ahem..." Sistaro coughed twice, raised his head and said clearly, "Last night, Irina and I received news that we found the exact location of the Potters..." He paused, Looking at the people with different expressions, he said after receiving Vidi's permission to continue, "The mission of me and Elena is to stop the Death Eaters who are trying to hurt the Potters, but we rushed to that house. By then, the Potters were already dead, and a group of people were trying to harm the child!"

"Hmph, so the Death Eaters did it too!"

Before Moody could finish his sentence, Viddy chuckled, "That group is not Death Eaters, Mr. Moody, Death Eaters never recruit dead people."

"What?" Everyone was surprised.

"What they said is true!" At this moment, Black, who had just woken up, interjected hoarsely. He sat up, carefully changed Harry's arms, and looked at Elena and Sistaro with complicated eyes. At a glance, "There is a warning spell between me and James, which can sense each other's accidents. When James was killed, the spell was activated, and I rushed to the scene as quickly as possible, "... James, James and the others have already..." , Black choked up, closed his eyes, and the eye circles were red when he opened them, "...the two of them arrived almost at the same time as me, I went to rescue Harry, but those people were too weird, magic didn't work on them, and then I We could only fight them hand-to-hand, this lady snatched Harry while they were unaware, and then we apparated together, but a strange magic trapped us, and we were trapped in a cemetery... Then, The group appeared and surrounded us!Their leader is an old man, I don't know him, but he looks like a living dead, except for the scars on his face, there are maggots, magic attacks are still ineffective against him, he wanted to attack Harry, but for some reason, the attack was reflected, and he became Ashes! "

"The attack bounces back?" Dumbledore narrowed his eyes, and nodded when he remembered something, "Indeed, it seems that Lily used that spell."

"What spell?" Snape heard Lily's name sensitively.

"Next, I'll ask my subordinates to add a few words!" Vidi turned his head to motion for Histaro to add.

"That old man is a necromancer..." Histaro's first sentence caused an uproar from everyone, and he calmly narrated, "The reason why those magic attacks are ineffective is probably because they are dead people. They were all corpses. He used the Death Curse to attack the child, but the child seemed to have a strong protection to offset the attack, and once the Death Curse failed to attack, it would backfire on the caster, so the necromancer died because of it. .”

"Necromancer? That's just the legendary evil black wizard!" Moody frowned and shook his head in disbelief.

"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway!" Vidi shrugged. He remembered that he still had a powerful necromancer opponent, and felt that this matter could not be separated from him.

"Principal Dumbledore, what kind of magic did you say Lily used, is it related to her death and the child's survival?" Snape was most concerned about Lily's question.

"Alas, an ancient but great sacrificial magic." Dumbledore nodded sighingly, "Mother saved his child with love, this magic is not complicated, but using it costs the price of life, no matter who How powerful and evil, even a child whose mother loves with her life cannot break through the protection of this love."

Viddy curled his lips, "The so-called love is nothing more than one life for another, Principal Dumbledore, now the protection on this boy is up to 17 years old, and when this little Mr. Potter becomes an adult, his danger will be the same. Again."

Sirius hugged the baby tightly, "I will protect him with my life, no one can hurt my godson."
