Chapter 1388: Chapter 1153: The Retribution of Chu Kuang the Old Rascal_2

Maybe it’s to atone for his sins?

Maybe it’s for revenge.

Severus decided to continue being the villain, serving as the double agent between Dumbledore and Voldemort.

To gain Voldemort’s trust, Severus was even willing to shoulder everything, killing the great Dumbledore, allowing himself to be misunderstood by everyone.

But before seeing the final ending, who would have guessed:

This was something Dumbledore had actually asked Severus to do?

Before this.

They had once had a fierce argument over this decision.

“I beg you…”

Dumbledore’s final request before his death wasn’t begging Severus for mercy.

On the contrary.

Dumbledore needed Severus to kill him, thereby earning Voldemort’s complete trust.

Their argument had to come to an end.

Of course.

Dumbledore had another reason:

Malfoy could still be saved—he couldn’t let this child’s hands be stained with his blood.

It was as if Dumbledore had forced Severus to act.

It might have been one of the hardest decisions Severus ever made in his life.

After all, moments of difficult choices weren’t unfamiliar in his life.

In his guilt.

Severus chose to unconditionally and eternally protect Lily’s child.

Harry Potter.

…

Lin Yuan wrote these words while reminiscing.

When he completed the entirety of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.”

To be precise.

When he typed the words “The End” on the screen, Lin Yuan finally let out a gentle sigh of relief.

He turned back to look at the final sentence of the story:

“Nineteen years later, Harry’s scar had never hurt again. All was well.”

At this moment, Lin Yuan felt quite pleased.

Nineteen years after the story, the shadow of Voldemort had long since vanished like smoke.

Harry and Ginny took their three children to Hogwarts.

Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.

The Potter family encountered Ron and Hermione, and their two children.

It’s worth mentioning:

Harry’s kids were named James, Lily, and Albus Severus, respectively.

Just like the final sentence of the book said.

All was well.

Since all was well, it was time to prepare for publication and release.

The date was May 30.

The evening.

Around seven o’clock.

Silver Blue Books received the manuscript for “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.”

Since the novel hadn’t officially been published yet, and the Harry Potter series was unprecedentedly popular, the confidentiality level was extremely high.

Only senior editors at Silver Blue Books were allowed to read it.

The company took this very seriously and immediately organized the senior editors from various departments to read it overnight, sacrificing sleep to ensure there were no issues with the book.

Lin Yuan had no idea about this.

After finishing the novel, he went straight to bed.

Who would have thought.

At three in the morning, when Lin Yuan woke up to use the bathroom, he suddenly heard the sound of a door opening downstairs.

He went downstairs to have a look, only to see his sister Lin Xuan had returned home.

“Why so late?”

“It’s all because of your good buddy, Chu Kuang!”

His sister gritted her teeth and said, “After Chu Kuang finished the last installment of the Harry Potter series, the company scheduled an overtime reading session. The book was classified under children’s literature, so it fell to our Fairy Tale Department to handle, and I just happen to be the head editor of that department…”

Lin Yuan was stunned.

He hadn’t expected to unwittingly be the reason his sister was working overtime.

At this moment.

Lin Xuan turned on the main light in the living room.

Under the sudden brightness of the room.

Lin Yuan looked at his sister, and his expression changed dramatically!

Lin Xuan, who usually carried herself with elegance and radiance, now completely lacked her usual refinement. Her originally beautiful Cabbeen shining eyes were dull and aimless, like someone recovering from a heartbreak, and her swollen eyelids looked noticeably different, as if she’d been crying heavily before coming home.

“Are you okay?”

“Of course I’m fine, but your good buddy is in trouble! Playing word games with readers—he better not think he’ll get away with this unscathed!”

His sister spat angrily.

Lin Yuan shivered inexplicably, then said guiltily, “You haven’t had dinner yet, right? I’ll make you some noodles—how many eggs do you want?”

“One.”

“Got it.”

Lin Yuan promptly turned and headed to the kitchen.

His sister suddenly looked at his retreating figure suspiciously: “I saw your previous live stream. Chu Kuang already told you how the ending goes, didn’t he?”

Lin Yuan coughed and said: “How about I throw in two eggs for extra nourishment.”

His sister rolled her eyes. No wonder her brother was acting so unusually considerate—she had clearly guessed correctly that he already knew the ending from Chu Kuang in advance.

But after all, it was Chu Kuang’s work.

What relation did it really have to her own little brother?

She didn’t bother to blame him further and instead said with a hint of exasperation: “Add more greens for me, and eat with me!”

…

Fine.

Eat it is.

With a sense of guilt, Lin Yuan earnestly prepared a bowl of noodles, adding two eggs and two stalks of greens.

Ten minutes later.

Two bowls of noodles were placed on the table.

The siblings started slurping and eating.

Halfway through the meal, Lin Xuan suddenly paused.

Lin Yuan curiously looked at her, only to see his sister muttering softly:

“Dobby died…”

“Severus died too…”

“Severus turned out to be a good person…”

“We all wronged him…”

“And then there’s Professor Lupin, Fred of the twin stars, Mad-Eye Moody—he was the best Auror, even Voldemort acknowledged that…”

“I know there have to be sacrifices in war…”

“But why even Hedwig had to die…”

“When the junior editors asked me what I thought of the book, I couldn’t give anything away…”

“I could only come home and talk to you about it…”

As his sister rattled off a string of deaths, tears were practically rolling into her bowl.

Lin Yuan panicked instantly and blurted out:

“I’ll help you beat him up!”

“You said it!”

His sister glared at Lin Yuan furiously.

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth: “Helping my sister vent is my duty as a younger brother.”

His sister said no more, quietly finishing her noodles, while shoving all the greens in her bowl to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan: “…”

Lin Yuan really hadn’t expected.

After all these years of Chu Kuang living carefree, karma had finally come for him—and apparently that karma meant Lin Yuan eating greens.

Meanwhile.

As the editors confirmed there were no issues with “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”—

Well, there were issues, but nothing could be done about it.

After all, in this world, who could truly call Chu Kuang to account?

In any case.

Silver Blue Books finally announced: “All is well. ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ is now complete. We will arrange for global publication soon—stay tuned!”

Online.

Readers who had been eagerly waiting couldn’t contain their excitement!

“It’s here, it’s here!”

“Ahhhh, I’m so excited I can’t sleep!”

“Chu Kuang’s speed has never disappointed!”

“Severus, get ready to die!”

“I need Doraemon to whip out a time acceleration device!”

“The ending is going to be insanely satisfying!”

“Haha, everyone seems to trust the old rascal this time.”

“Of course we trust him.”

“The old rascal already said the protagonists will be okay, Voldemort will definitively die, and Severus, the traitor, will get what he deserves!”

“By the way, didn’t Yi An say Severus is a good person?”

“Pfft!”

“Yi An definitely understands Harry Potter well, but she doesn’t understand Severus!”

“If Severus turns out to be a good person, I’ll do a handstand in the shower!”

“I’ll streak!”

“I’ll eat shit!”

“You people are going too far—in it for the free food?”

“No matter who ends up unlucky, someone’s taking a hit for sure.”

“It doesn’t matter, after Dumbledore, as long as the three main protagonists survive, this old rascal can’t possibly break my defenses!”

“Hahaha!”

“Silver Blue Books’ announcement feels like they’re hinting at something. This phrase ‘All is well’ says it all!”

It was 3 AM.

Even though it was late night, the night owls were clearly rampant—and because of time zones in certain areas, it was still daytime. The internet exploded with excitement from this news!
