* S# w) V+ B" w" f9 b/ pDraco opened his eyes, or thought he did. He could not see anything with them, not blackness, not anything. Harry, he tried to say, but he had nothing to say it with - no throat, no voice. It was like dreaming, and knowing he was dreaming, but not being able to wake himself up.

And as if that jump had cracked some glass he was imprisoned in, light and color came rushing at him like a river in full flood. He stared ahead into green-gray mist, and blackness, and a thousand shadows suggestive of nothing familiar.

He saw the darkness caked all over the front of his shirt and knew it was the blood from his face; he touched his cheek gingerly and felt the cut, but no pain.www.hpfans.net7 Z, H$ W3 T% z8 E9 k$ X+ m
I'm dead, he thought. He didn't feel anything particular about it, other than a sort of bemused astonishment. I guess I should have killed Wormtail when I had the chance, he thought, while knowing, in his heart, that he couldn't have done it.最棒的哈利波特专题大型中文网站，丰富、及时的新闻、图库、视频、同人、下载，还有热门的哈迷讨论区。这是你真正的魔法家园。) w!

He took a step forward into the mist, and another, and abruptly it thinned out slightly, showing him the contours of the place he was standing. An unadorned, rocky plain stretched behind and to the sides of him, gray and barren-looking. Ahead of him were more shadows, that as he neared them took on the form of a narrow but fast-flowing river. Its water was also gray, and on the opposite side of it were more huddled grayish shapes. Rocks? Trees? It was hard to tell. He took a step toward the river.0 _% _% K. I2 } V
A voice spoke out of nowhere.

Stubbornly, Draco stomped forward, his boots making no sound whatsoever on the brittle ground. The misty shapes across the river surged as he neared the banks - he squinted into it - and at that moment, the mist came into focus, and he knew what they were.www.hpfans.net4 y$ s.

Spirits crowded the opposite side of the river, seething and numberless, seeming somehow both extremely close and very far away. If he looked closely, he could see their individual faces and bodies, but when he stopped staring, they seemed to meld together into a formless gray mass. He shook his head, stared again, and saw movement this time - not aimless, but directed movement. Several of the spirits seemed to be shoving their through the packed masses, like rioters at a Quidditch match. He had the feeling, he could not have said why, that they were trying to get at him.

It seemed to be true. Draco stood and waited at the river's edge as the struggling spirits - there were three of them, two women and a man, he could tell that much now- broke free of the rest of the crowd and came to stand at the very edge of the river, just across from him. The taller of the two women gazed at him, her ghostly mouth open in an O of surprise.( E9 a3 @* e ?. d! a9 @' p
"Salazar?" she said.
' V# b: Z. M9 L8 ^Draco froze. And stared. And as he stared at the three spirits, they seemed to leap into sharper focus, their outlines solidifying, color surging into their faces, their clothes. A tall man with clipped, dark hair -a small, round woman with a long tangle of flaming red hair and Ginny's dark eyes - and the woman who was gazing at Draco, her blue eyes filled with a terrible sort of indefinable longing and fear -

$ ]6 Z" T. y6 b& Lwww.hpfans.netThe dark-haired man - Godric - stepped in front of Rowena and glared at him, his outline wavering but distinct. "So at last you are dead," he said. "We have waited a thousand years for someone to give you the punishment you deserve and to end your worthless, stolen existence-"
5 _: v/ g2 f/ G9 DGodric looked rather as if he meant to go on in this vein for quite some time, so Draco interrupted him. "I'm not who you think I am," he said. "I'm not Salazar Slytherin."哈利波特,霍格沃兹,罗恩,赫敏,罗琳,harrypotter! ~( ]# B6 o9 }8 D6 [- V" o. T" z

"Look at me," insisted Draco.

They all stared at him. Draco was indignant. "I'm sixteen. I'll be seventeen in a few weeks."

Draco looked down at the blood on his shirt, and back up. "I do not have my death wound," he said crankily. "I drowned, and anyway, there's a bargaining for me."

Draco glared at him. It struck him that he did not like Godric. It also struck him that in order to free himself from the Tragic and Destructive Cycle of History Repeating Itself, it might be wise to try to like Godric.

Draco could now begin to see how Godric resembled Harry, a grown-up Harry. A grown-up Harry who had spent a lot of time working out with heavy weights. His arms were huge. Draco was glad Godric didn't seem to be able to cross the river either. He didn't know what it would feel like to be punched in the face in the afterlife, and didn't much care to find out.哈利波特爱好者论坛1 T( W9 n; T% r2 q0 V Q f
