Looking at the brothers, Edward sighed in his heart and suddenly remembered a question he saw on a certain website in his previous life:
What is your biggest regret in Harry Potter?
Answer: I don't know.
Lily and James had no idea that their child would survive the Killing Curse.
Little did Sirius know that his brother, whom he called a coward, was actually a hero.
Aberforth resented his brother for almost a century, but he didn't know that his brother was repenting until his death for accidentally killing his sister when he was young.
Snape didn't know that in a few hours Voldemort would be defeated, and the boy he had silently protected for the rest of his life would let go of his contempt and hatred for him, and the abuse he had carried throughout his life would finally be vindicated.
Dumbledore didn't know that Grindelwald, who was imprisoned in the tower, would last protect Voldemort's grave from his death.
…
And now his appearance seems to be repairing these regrets bit by bit. Perhaps this is the greatest meaning of his coming to this world.
Chapter 262 Beware of Pollution
"Okay, I should get going."
Regulus smiled and took a step back, his body floating up again.
Kreacher cried and ran forward, trying to grab his master, but Sirius stood there and watched his brother go away.
"Thank you both, take care."
After saying that, he turned around and resolutely plunged into the black hole, disappearing without a trace.
Then, the Crooked-Horned Snorlax swept its tail again, causing the black hole to disappear into thin air, and turned around to leave.
"etc."
Edward quickly asked a few questions: "Excuse me, does the underworld really exist? Are you really a messenger from the underworld? Is there really a god of death in the underworld? Have you ever heard of the abode of the gods?"
The Crooked Horned Snorlax paused and glanced at them, but did not answer.
Tsk.
Should I use force to keep it? But the other party has just shown kindness and allowed Regulus to see Sirius for the last time. It would be too despicable to do it myself.
Audrey also asked at this time: "Do you remember me? We met in Alice Longbottom's spiritual world. When will they return to normal?"
"soon."
This time it actually opened its mouth, making a low sound, then quickened its pace and rushed into the darkness, disappearing.
"Why."
Edward sighed, "Let's go back."
Audrey patted his head and smiled faintly: "Maybe it doesn't know those questions, but at least... it can be considered as giving us good news, right?"
"Um."
Sirius said hoarsely at this time: "I... don't know what to say to thank you."
He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you."
Kreacher also bowed with tears and snot, "Thank you, wow!! Master Regulus!!!"
...
Ten minutes later.
They returned to the Black family's old house, and the three little ones immediately came forward and asked curiously, how could Sirius be in the mood to tell them stories at the moment?
So Audrey took on the task and told them, Lilith and Susie about what had just happened.
Hermione was shocked after hearing this: "There is actually an underworld in this world! I thought it was just a myth."
Ron curled his lips, "We have wizards and magic, so why can't we have the underworld?"
Harry murmured to himself, "So, my parents were probably also taken to the underworld by that 'messenger'? Then, will I have a chance to see them again? ?Bi¨qi\zhong, mosquito? King! /Geng′Xin*sin+full!"
Lilith jumped onto Edward's shoulder and muttered in annoyance, "I wish I had followed him just now."
"Why?"
"I also want to be as awesome as that 'Messenger'!"
Edward smiled and said, "You will be better than it in the future."
"Really?"
"Of course, because Lilith is the smartest cat in the world."
She wagged her tail happily: "Right!!"
Half an hour later, Sirius, who had calmed down, appeared with a smile, and invited everyone to enjoy dinner together. At almost 9 o'clock, the two returned to Hogwarts.
As soon as he sent Audrey back to the dormitory, Edward felt that the Mirror of Erised was reacting!
He immediately Apparated to the Room of Requirement and retrieved the Mirror of Erised.
Sure enough, a faint light flashed on the mirror again.
Edward retreated to a safe distance without hesitation, then tensed his nerves and prepared for any eventuality.
After the mirror continued to flash fluorescent light for more than ten minutes, the dark door appeared in the mirror again.
"Are you coming back?"
To be honest, Edward was still very nervous when the time came. Although he seemed calm and did what he had to do these days, that was also to make up for what he heard from Audrey before returning to the past.
What if I can't come back?
What if something goes wrong in the middle?
What if something goes wrong in these few days?
Just as he was daydreaming, the door in the Mirror of Erised slowly opened inward. This time, the pale arms did not appear inside, but Edward still did not dare to take it lightly.
After a moment, faint ripples appeared on the mirror surface, like the surface of water. A black figure slowly approached from the mirror, and then a hand stretched out through the mirror.
No, that was not a hand, it was a bony palm without flesh and skin.
Then the black shadow passed through the mirror and came into reality - it was a figure wearing a black robe and a hood, holding a scythe...the God of Death?
Edward was stunned. Although the god of death in Western mythology all looked like this, his intuition told him that the one in front of him was the one he saw through the crack of the door when he was promoted to Sequence 6 last time.
At this time, "Death" felt Edward's gaze and looked over. The two ghost fires flickering in the skull's eye sockets twitched slightly, and his chin moved, as if he was... laughing?
There was clearly no flesh, only white bones, but this smile gave Edward a sense of déjà vu.
At the same time, his mind was beating wildly: Danger! Danger! Danger!
After staring at each other for more than ten seconds, the "Grim Reaper" stretched out his bony left hand from his long sleeves, holding a magic wand, and then reached into the Mirror of Erised together with the magic wand.
Magic wand?
Edward was stunned, and suddenly thought of the Elder Wand in the story of Death and the three brothers. Dumbledore said that he had lost the Elder Wand long ago. Could it be the one in the hands of "Death"?
At this time, the "God of Death" pulled hard with his left hand, and the other Edward was dragged out of the mirror and thrown to the ground.
He closed his eyes and breathed steadily, as if he had fallen into a coma - so this is how I came back before?
After doing all this, the "God of Death" turned around and walked towards the Mirror of Erised again.
"Are you...are you the god of death?"
Edward couldn't help but ask the question.
Gaba, gaba.
The other person's jaw moved, "Yes and no."
After saying this, he took a step into the mirror that was as clear as water, and the black door closed.
Bang!
A crisp sound came from the Mirror of Erised.
The next second it shattered into countless pieces and fell to the ground.
"The Mirror of Erised… is it really that broken?"
At this moment, Lilith crawled out of his arms, sleepy-eyed: "Edward~what happened! Huh?!"
Oops, forgot about Lilith.
How about throwing her into the leather bag now?
But she has already seen her past self, it's too late to throw it into the leather bag, and we can't cast a forgetfulness spell on her.
Forget it, since my past self has returned, this matter has basically been settled. Thinking of this, Edward told the story again.
Lilith's eyes widened. "So... after using the time-turner, there will be two Edwards?"
"That's right."
"So, if Miss Lilith also uses the Time Turner, there will be two Liliths?"
"…"
Edward's eyelids jumped, and he said hurriedly: "Lilith, this... this is not necessarily a good thing! If you go back to the past and do something that goes against the facts, it may cause a big mess."
"...oh."
She nodded, "Ms. Lilith doesn't understand."
Then you are a piece of shit.
Edward shook his head helplessly and walked over to his unconscious self.
Lilith was surprised: "Wow! There really are two Edwards!"
She jumped out lightly and moved closer to her other self. She sniffed him first, then stepped on his face with her soft little pads. Then she turned around and said, "They are exactly the same."
"…"
Can it be different?
