Chapter 1248 (1/2)
Harry turned to look at Van Lin and Hermione, who gave him an uncertain look.
It seems that Hermione didn't understand what Shannon ferrius said. ”Death saint?”
”Yes,” said Shannon ferrius, ”you've never heard of them before? I'm not surprised. Few witches believe it. At Weasley's wedding, that ignorant young man attacked me just because I had the mark of the famous black wizard! This is really stupid behavior. In my eyes, at least, these saints are not dark. This sign is only used to identify themselves so that they can take care of each other in times of difficulty
He added a few pieces of sugar to his godigan potion and took a few sips.
”I'm sorry...” Harry said, ”I still don't understand...”
Out of politeness, Harry also took a few puffs, but the result was not as simple as Harry thought.
Why would he believe in the Lovegood taste? Or it's just as unreliable as believing in Hagrid's crustaceans.
Harry almost didn't vomit: it's disgusting. It's like a glass of liquid goblin flavored beans.
Seeing this situation, both van Lin and Hermione politely put down the cup they held in their hands. Death was not the same as death in the normal sense.
”Well, as you can see, the believers are looking for the holy one of the dead.” Shannon ferrius said nonchalantly, smacking his lips, apparently feeling that the godigan potion was delicious.
”But what is the Deathly Hallows?” Asked Hermione.
”Is this The Deathly Hallows? ” Fanlin felt a little impatient. Shannon ferrius was too wordy. In fact, more and more Fanlin didn't want to try that weird drink.
”You know?”
”I don't know if you said it, Deathly Hallows...”
”If it's the Deathly Hallows, there's no mistake.” Said Shannon ferrius, taking a sip of his drink and putting his empty tea cup aside.
Involuntarily, the larynx of the three people rolled involuntarily, as if they were infected, but it seems that Lovegood doesn't intend to bring out some new drinks
”Mr. Lovegood, what you should say is the story of the three brothers?”
”Yes,” Shannon ferrius nodded solemnly. ”Well, well, Mr. Porter, don't look at me like that. The whole thing comes from the story of the three brothers I seem to have a copy here... ”
His eyes glanced over the pile of parchments and books in the room, but Hermione said, ”I already have one, Mr. Lovegood, right here.” Then she took out the book from the Pearl embroidered bag.
”Original?” Shannon ferrius asked eagerly. When he saw Hermione nodding, Shannon ferrius said, ”well, then, why don't you read it out loud? There is no better way for us to understand
”Er All right, ”agreed Hermione nervously.
She opened the book and Harry saw that the sign they were studying was at the top of the page. Hermione cleared her throat and began to read: ”once upon a time there were three brothers who traveled along a lonely winding road at dawn...”
”Is that the story?” Halliday paused, but Hermione looked at him impatiently.
”Well, I'm sorry...”
”Go on, Miss Granger!” Said Shannon ferrius, turning his back, his eyes fixed on the window.
”When the three brothers arrived at a river in time, it was a deep and fast river that could not wade through or swim across. But the three brothers were magic, and they just waved their wands to build a bridge across the river. However, when they were halfway there, they found a man in a hood blocking their way.
”Death spoke to them...”
”I'm sorry,” Harry interrupted abruptly. ”Did death speak to them?”
”It's a fairy tale, Harry!”
”Oh, sorry, go on.” Harry looks at Vaseline uncertainly. Somehow, Harry becomes very sensitive to the word ”death”. He is not sure. This is what happened to Voldemort
However, Hermione obviously thought of something. She hesitated, but she puffed up and went on reading.
”Death Death spoke to them. He was angry that he had been fooled by the three new victims, because travelers usually drowned in the river. But death is cunning. He pretends to praise the magic of the three brothers, and because he has cleverly avoided him, each will win a prize. ”
”The eldest of the three brothers was a combative man, and he asked for a wand stronger than any existing one: a wand that would always help its master win a duel, and a wand deserved by a wizard who defeated death! Death cut down the branches of an old tree on the Bank of the river, made a magic wand, and handed it to the elder. ”
”Then the second of the three brothers, an arrogant man, wanted to make death more disgraceful, he asked for the power to call others back from death. Death picked up a stone from the Bank of the river and gave it to the second, telling him that it had the power to revive the dead. ””Death asked what the youngest wanted. The third was the most modest and the most intelligent. He did not intend to trust death, so he asked death to give him something to enable him to go beyond the jurisdiction of death. Death gave him his invisibility cloak very reluctantly
”Got an invisibility cloak from death?” Harry interrupted again.
”Yes, invisibility cloak, you heard me right, Harry!” Fanling was sure that Harry's hand was unconsciously in his pocket.
”Please continue...”
”Then death stood aside and let the three brothers continue to talk about their adventures and the gifts of death.”
”The three brothers separated for their own purposes.”
”After traveling for more than a week, the elder brother arrived in a remote village to look for a wizard who had quarreled with him. Naturally, with the elder's wand as a weapon, he could not lose any of the following duels. His enemy fell to the ground, and the elder brother went on to a hotel where he boasted about the powerful wand he had got from death and how it made him invincible
”That night, when the elder brother lay down, another wizard crept into his room and soaked his bed with wine. The thief stole the wand. To be on the safe side, he cut his big brother's throat So death got his brother's life. ”
”At the same time, the second brother returned to his own home. There he took out the stone that could summon the dead, put it in his hand and turned it three times. To his surprise and joy, the girl he once wanted to marry but died suddenly appeared in front of him
”But she was sad and cold, and separated from him with a veil. Although she came back, she didn't really belong there. She suffered. Finally, the second brother went crazy in the endless despair. In order to truly integrate into her world, he committed suicide So death got the second brother's life
”But death has been looking for many years, but there is no third brother. It was not until he was very old that he took off his invisibility cloak and left it for his son. He greets death like an old friend. He is happy to go with death, and they all die in the same way. ” Hermione closed the book.
It was a little quiet in the room now, and it was a long time before Shannon ferrius realized that Hermione had finished reading. He withdrew his gaze from the window and said, ”well, you all know that?”
