Chapter 30 Old Times (Part 2)

"Helena, what does it feel like to die?" Olivia curled up and sat in front of the Mirror of Erised. A man and a woman were reflected in the mirror. The boy holds the girl's hand, and the girl smiles.

The girl in the mirror looks so confident and healthy.

The ethereal voice of Ravenclaw's ghost echoed in the empty classroom: "Death is like falling asleep."

"You will have a choice. Those who are afraid of death choose to stay, and those who are not afraid of death continue to move forward."

The ghost . After glancing at the mirror, she floated to Olivia's side and sat on the floor with her: "Olivia..."

"I will choose to move forward." The girl gently touched the mirror.

"No nostalgia at all."

"No nostalgia at all." The girl said, "I am not afraid of death. Death is a great adventure. I want to see what is ahead. The so-called end may be a brand new world. "

She saw the figure coming from behind. She stood up with difficulty and said a little embarrassedly: "Professor Dumbledore."

"This mirror will be moved next week." Dumbledore sighed softly. After all, few people can resist the magic of this mirror like you. This mirror is too dangerous.

"Olivia, you are braver than many people. Even my soul is so small in front of your soul ." Worth mentioning."

"Professor, Eastern books once said that life and death are determined by force, and force is futile. So, professor, don't get distracted."

The picture flipped again and again.

One day, Mu Yi excitedly ran into the Ravenclaw common room. He was a bit taller than the first grade, and the boy became more gentle and personable.

But to Olivia he was always the same boy on the train that day.

"Olivia, let's go, I'll take you to a place. I discovered an absolutely secret place."

Olivia struggled to get up from the armchair, but it was in vain.

The warm soft sedan held up the girl, and there was already a bit of tenderness in the young man's eyebrows: "Olivia, I have everything."

His magical attainments were already so advanced.

This was the first time Olivia was really among the crowd. She saw everyone's laughter and felt everyone's happiness. Exquisite fireworks swirled through the crowd, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of Bee Duke candy.

Mu Yi's magic protected her very well. She no longer has to worry about the crowds of people, and she no longer has to sit in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to peer into the bustling city with her imagination. The knot under the Whomping Willow is another brand-new window in her life.

"Olivia, I won't let you leave, I absolutely won't."

"Mu, life and death have their own destiny."

"I don't believe in any destiny. Olivia, don't leave me, I have nothing but you. No more. My mother can't take care of me at all. My father only cares about his ideals. He doesn't care about me at all. "

"Don't do this... Think about the gifts he sends you every week. A must-write letter, he loves you and his ideals, but he loves you in a different way..."

"Olivia, I will find a way to save you, at any cost."

There was not a single star in the sky that night. The stars and the manic whomping willow have also restrained their branches.

Olivia shed a tear where the boy couldn't see her.

She tried her best to restart the conversation that had been interrupted on the train, but she also knew that she could not persuade him back now. Mu Yi has his own persistence and his own stubbornness. He stubbornly believed that his father did not love him at all. He stubbornly believed that his father's ideas were worthless to him. He stubbornly wanted to hold this beam of light in the palm of his hand.

For him, light can be the fuel that ignites loneliness and the medicine that numbs loneliness, but it is not warmth.

She still read his mind.

The two were just each other, but she was trapped in a trap because she tried to get more from a beam of light.

She also wanted to gain warmth from the icy beams.

Mu Yu saw them getting closer and closer, telling each other everything. Olivia will take Muyi to every corner of the West Tower, telling her the secret of the commemorative excavation. The Whomping Willow became their own forbidden land, and the knot was a secret they shared together. Mu Yi's spells became more and more powerful, and Olivia was able to sit in the Forbidden Forest under his protection and watch him practice his sword skills.

There is indescribable charm when he wields the sword. Mu Yi at this moment is so familiar and yet so strange to Olivia.

They broke into each other's world in their most youthful years and left a deep mark on each other.

His obsession with her became deeper and deeper.

"Mo, the Death Eaters are getting more and more rampant."

The strong wind at night blew through the tower, leaving a mournful cry.

"My mother was called a pure-blood traitor by them. As a descendant of pure-blood wizards and Muggles, I was the target of their elimination."

Olivia leaned in Mu Yi's arms. Over the past few years, she had almost lost weight. Growth, on the contrary, made her appear thinner. Mu Yi's eyebrows were a little colder.

The gentle boy who told me on the train that the snow in Kunlun never melts all the year round has grown up. He can never come back.

"No one can hurt you. Not even Voldemort himself." His thin lips pursed into a thin line. He gently traced the delicate eyebrows of the girl in his arms: "How about we go and settle in Godric's Hollow?"

"Your father wants you to go back and pass on his unfinished business."

"No. What business secretly brings some idiots home to teach them?" He has never cared about me."

Such words were not unpleasant to hear. Olivia frowned, but finally she let out a slight sigh.

"People die every day, especially at this time."

Mu Yi held her hand tightly: "Don't say such things. I have said before that I will let you live a long life and grow old in peace. "

Olivia gently brushed his hand away, her blue eyes clearly looking at him, but he couldn't understand the emotions in these eyes. He could easily know what eleven-year-old Olivia wanted, but he no longer knew what seventeen-year-old Olivia wanted.

"Life is as short as duckweed. Mu, I don't care about the length of life. I just want to be your bride. Even if I die under Voldemort's wand tomorrow, I will be happy with it." She looked up at the sky with some difficulty, "When While other people's children are stumbling to measure the world with their own steps, I can only use my barren imagination to describe the world through the sunshine from the floor-to-ceiling window."

She coughed lightly, regardless of whether it was Mu Yi quietly. Neither the magic potion fed to her nor the life-converting formation secretly planned could stop the flow of her life.

"When I was eleven years old, I heard for the first time that the mysterious land in the far east had so many gorgeous scenery. I really wanted to see with my own eyes what the rolling snow-capped mountains looked like, and I really wanted to climb to the top of Qingcheng Mountain , sit in the bamboo forest and listen to the sound of the mountain spring, but you can't force it." She said this very calmly, as if she was telling an unrelated story, "Because I can do it. Imagination, Mu, sometimes imagination is more wonderful than reality. But I want to be with the person who came from afar to bring the whole world to me, even if it’s just for one day, that’s what I stole.”

"Olivia..."

She closed her eyes, and a tear slipped quietly: "Why don't you understand? I'm not afraid of death, I'm even willing to embrace it. I just hope that I can leave something to this world. Something to prove that I am still alive and bringing light to others, so I applied to Professor Dumbledore to join the Order of the Phoenix. I also want to fight. Even if I am not on the front line, I can still contribute my strength in the rear, even if I die. , I also want to die brilliantly like fireworks."

Only then did Mu Yi suddenly understand what Olivia meant. He released her slightly and saw the reflection of his father in her eyes for the first time.

He was scrupulous, and from the acne of scruples, fine alienation grew, and in just a few breaths it penetrated from the surface to the bone marrow.

"You are in the Order of the Phoenix..."

Olivia saw clearly the filth and filth that grew and then disappeared in those pupils, and saw clearly the deep shadow behind this cold light, and used the opportunity to brush away his hand. : "Not being able to fight and realize my ideals is my lifelong regret."

Mu Yi hugged her tightly again, and he no longer insisted that he must save her. His eyes looked into the distance and saw the ultimate end of the galaxy. He seemed to have made some determination at this moment, but his words were extremely soft: "I understand your ideals and your pursuits, and I am willing to be with you."

That light entangled itself persistently, constantly creating specious hallucinations in the night: "Marry me. This is also my pursuit, and if it cannot be achieved, it will become a lifelong regret for me."

Olivia opened her eyes wide, She tried hard to trace the appearance of the young man who had been accompanying her, but found that she had lost him without even realizing it.

She just leaned closer to his arms and said, "Okay."

A simple wedding was being held in that house. There was no crowd of guests, no blessings from relatives and friends, only red candles burning silently to witness the beautiful couple.

Olivia was wearing a pure white wedding dress. Even though she was so thin that she couldn't even hold up the wedding dress, she still had a satisfied smile.

At least at this moment she was sure to catch the stray beam.

"This is a pair of Tongxin pendants. You put them away. If the jade is with me, I will be with you. If the jade dies, I will die."

"What are you going to do?"

He didn't say anything. He just hugged her tenderly and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. .

He came back with blood.

Mu Yu heard Youyou's scream, and Mu Yizai carefully cleaned up the blood before entering the main hall. He held a palm-sized transparent box tightly in his hand. In the middle of the box, a ball of transparent and pure white brilliance flows.

There is no such pure color in the world anymore. It is neither as dazzling as crystal nor as gentle as jade. It flows quietly in it, like water, like wind, and even more like all things in the world, that ball of light. A trace of it floated quietly toward the room.

Mu Yu couldn't help but get closer to this ball of light. This brilliance seemed to be inherently attractive to her.

fatal attraction.

"I can save you. We can be together forever."

She watched Mu Yi lock himself in a secret room day after day, setting up unknown formations and reciting complex and profound spells. Olivia's belly gradually grew bigger, making a frail person look plump.

She is pregnant.

All ideals and pursuits had to come to an end at this moment because of his increasingly weak body.

Mu Yi knelt down and tremblingly touched her newly revealed belly, completely unlike the excitement of an expectant father. Those eyes were full of surprise, panic, and confusion, but no joy.

He spends more time with Olivia and no longer shuts himself away. But every late night, he would always get up and stare at the sleeping Olivia. When he looked at that face, his eyes were always affectionate and intense, but when it fell to his abdomen, the intensity was no longer hot and pure, but turned into endless viciousness and cruelty.

Until one rainy afternoon, Olivia pushed open the door of his study.

Her belly had swelled slightly. Pregnancy failed to improve her poor complexion. On the contrary, the fetus seemed like a machine sucking nutrients, squeezing out the last of her vitality.

She herself didn't care about this, holding her belly and looking at the person who almost grew up with her in disbelief: "I know everything. You betrayed your father and stole the family's treasures. I You know what you are refining these days, what exactly are you refining?" Her hands kept moving on her stomach, and she closed her eyes, as if she couldn't even blink out tears, "This child, child... Is it a life? Or is it another way you came up with to 'save' me? A natural sacrifice in exchange for my life."

She must have been so angry that she trembled and took out the books on the bookshelf as if to vent her anger. The decorations fell to the floor. At least in this memory, Mu Yu had never seen her lose her composure like this.

Xu Yu's words kept echoing in his ears. The treasures of the Mu family, after being refined, are enough to reverse life and death, and even eternal life...

Mu Yu leaned against the wall of the study in disbelief.

What else didn't she understand?

Something was tumbling in her mind. The corners of her eyes were sore, and tears were about to burst out of her eyes in the next second, but what she wanted more was to laugh. Laughing that her life was a complete joke, laughing that the relationship between her parents that she once thought and even expected was not only broken long ago, but never even existed.

Olivia is not her biological mother, she is only responsible for giving birth to her. She has no relatives or family, she comes from nothingness. She couldn't even imagine whether her grandfather's concern for her was due to the Mu family's mission, or whether it was driven by family ties that were thicker than water.

Mu Yi's hurried explanation seemed even more false and disgusting to her.

"It's all accidents. It's all accidents. I have had thoughts that I shouldn't have, but believe me, I sincerely look forward to this child. I will love her as our common child."

The one with blue eyes The girl's eyes no longer sparkled. She just gently stroked her already bulging belly: "Your father is coming to England."

"I will explain everything to my father. We will raise this child together." Big. Everything will pass. My father is sure to cure your disease without paying any price. We will live a normal life like an ordinary family of three. This child will be a gift from God."

She was unwilling to go . Read other people's thoughts, especially him. She always believed that even if she didn't use mind reading, she would always know what he was thinking. What she loves most is Dongfang's words, which make things clear to her.

What he wanted to catch was the obsession or her. She kissed her belly gently, she never thought she would have a chance to be a mother, even if this child did not belong to her.

This child belongs to no one.

"I believe you." Her eyes were calm, just like the girl who sat in the Ravenclaw lounge waiting for his arrival every time. "Whatever you want to do, just do it."

Olivia left. When Mu Yi didn't know.

Her illusion skills are already very powerful.

Mu Yu watched her place a specific illusion formation under the Whomping Willow knot.

The Ravenclaw ghost always looked at her sadly. She had seen too much death. The fetus in her belly eroded her beauty. If she was a delicate and fragile porcelain doll in the past, now she is a broken doll. Her face was sallow, and her long hair, which had always been well taken care of, looked lifeless.

"My child will definitely return to Hogwarts in the future. She has the right to know everything, and the choice after knowing it is left to her. Helena, when the time is right, tell her to go to the Whomping Willow."

Her best years were buried there, and it was also her final destination.

When she left, she only took the Tongxin Pendant with her. The jade pendant still had a warm luster and was intact.

"You really don't think about going back." A young man blocked Olivia's way in an alley in London. He looked at her growing belly, "When your aunt passed away, your father wanted to take you back and you refused. Now even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about your child."

Olivia clenched the jade pendant in her hand and looked up at him: "Cousin, you don't know anything."

The man's voice suddenly rose and he was startled. He picked up a row of pigeons on the roof: "I don't know anything. You're right. I really don't know what happened between you and that Eastern man, and I don't care what happened between you and Dumbledore's group." All I know is that you are on the list of Death Eaters, and you can kill two people at any time! Dad is still worried about you even at his age. He is your biological uncle, and we are all your blood relatives! Husband, where is your man now?"

Olivia just looked at him extremely calmly. Rather than being calm, it was better to say that there was no trace of light and expectation in her eyes.

The man took a breath and continued to vent, "Do you think we are a family like Black? The reason why my aunt's marriage to that Muggle was not favored was because both father and grandfather saw that the Muggle was unreliable. Welfare family The blood curse has been passed on to my aunt. She is too weak to bear the betrayal of her partner. You are all too stubborn. It is natural that your family has abandoned you. Dad has been trying his best to find a way to break the curse these years. "Why can't you think about him and your children when he decides to take you back now?"

Olivia's despairing eyes made the man even angrier, and he hammered the brick wall hard. , pointing the other hand at her belly: "It's okay if the child in your belly is a boy, but if it's a girl, it will definitely be cursed. Bellatrix and the others will not let the child go mercifully. I only ask you one question. , you don't care about the child at all? How can a baby survive?"

His words were already very serious.

Olivia forced a smile at this time, but this smile was full of bitterness: "This child, whether he is a boy or a girl, will never be contaminated by the curse of the Welfare family. I have also made arrangements for the child. , her grandfather will take her to the east to raise her, away from Voldemort's sphere of influence."

The man shuddered when he heard that name, and then looked at his cousin as if he were a fool: "Olivia. , wake up, that man abandoned you, and you still expect his family to take care of this child."

"Let's go," Olivia had turned around to protect her belly and walked forward cautiously. Her delicate body was really disappointing. Terrified, she said, "Leave me alone. I don't want to implicate my uncle or the entire welfare family. There is one more thing you are wrong about."

Tears fell one drop at a time and she clutched the jade pendant tightly in her hand: "He never abandoned me. I...abandoned him. This child's grandfather will definitely raise her."

Behind the scenes, the man cursed angrily: "You are just like your mother! You are stubborn and stupid!"

She no longer cares.

She did not choose to seek refuge with the Order of the Phoenix. At this time, the blood of every soldier is precious and not worth wasting on a dying life.

This is Olivia's stubbornness, which is so ridiculous in Mu Yu's eyes. What's even more funny is that even she understands it, but Mu Yi knows almost nothing about it.

No matter how she wandered around, Olivia never let go of the jade pendant. She struggled to give birth to her child in a small apartment. A healthy baby girl. Dumbledore came to this dirty and small apartment under the first ray of morning light. The old principal sat quietly by the bed and said goodbye to this life that was about to disappear.

"Sir..." It was difficult for her to even speak, "I only wish that this child will have a safe, happy and joyful life."

Dumbledore gently picked up the crying baby and said, "She is a lovely little girl. I want to give her a name. "

Olivia moved her lips a few times, and Mu Yu swore that she must want to give her a name, but finally gave up: "Leave her name to her grandfather and he will take good care of her.

" Breathing slightly, she was groping for something. Her expression suddenly changed, and her eyes suddenly widened. She stretched out her hand towards the baby as if to grab something, but found nothing.

Her hands drooped down: "I have nothing in this life after all."

The morning sun that was about to burst out from the horizon was blocked by dark clouds at this time. Thick black clouds covered the blue sky, and a pair of blue eyes were closed forever at this time.
