to another life path

When Snape came to the dining table at Evans' house in the morning, he saw Lily holding Petunia with red eyes and unwilling to let go. He knew that he had cried.Both Mr. Evans and Mrs. Evans were considerate and didn't ask too much. The children have reached the age where they should have a little secret.

After getting on the train and finally leaving Shirley, Aisha and Lily's gossip women, Severus couldn't wait to care about his girlfriend: "Lily, what's the matter?" They just met yesterday, and they were still fine at the time , nothing unpleasant happened throughout the festival, except that Vernon didn't show up because he went to his aunt's house in New Zealand, everything was no different from last year.

Perhaps this is the biggest difference?

"Sev." Lily leaned her head on her boyfriend's shoulder, holding her boyfriend's fingers with both hands and twisting them non-stop, "I'm worried about Penny."

"Huh?" Severus thought to himself, "Sure enough."

"Vernon's family hopes that Penny can take care of her husband and children at home and be a housewife after marriage. But you also know that Penny is talented in desserts. Her dream is to cook delicious food all over the world and open a restaurant of her own. She I have already received invitations from the French Gastronomy Association. If you become a housewife, you will not have to live your whole life around your husband and children." Lily felt very sorry for her sister, and her words were a bit incoherent, "Of course I don't mean to be conservative. It’s not good to be around family members, but people should have dreams, right? Isn’t everyone promoting women’s rights and equality between men and women now? Since Penny has the ability and has such an opportunity, she has to compromise because of love and marriage. Vernon is He doesn't want to wrong Penny, but he can't ignore the thoughts of his family. So what should they do? The reality has suddenly become so cruel, with love on one side and dreams on the other, can't love and dreams coexist?"

Snape was silent, he couldn't answer the question.Not only because of Petunia and Vernon, but also because Lily and herself are standing at this fork in the road.One side is love, one side is dreams; one side is the sunshine, love and home brought to him by Lily and Evans, and the other side is the olive branch symbolizing strength, ambition, power and future thrown by the Duke of Darkness.The Dark Duke was a chance for Snape, a chance to get rid of the half-blood bastard, a chance to become a "half-blood prince", a chance to do whatever he wanted and no longer be at the mercy of others.Snape really wanted to join the Dark Duke's camp. He wanted to compromise the Prince family who was unwilling to admit him, and to make those who looked down on him submit.However, the Muggle expulsion theory advocated by the Dark Duke really worried him.In fairness, to a certain extent, Snape thinks the duke is right, Muggles are always selfish, arrogant and ignorant, never think that they are at fault, and only blame others, such as his blood " Father", Tobias Snape is a complete piece of trash.But Lily is a Muggle wizard, and Evans's family is all Muggles. He has to admit that there are people worthy of friendship among Muggles, so does the Duke know?Judging from the duke's consistent behavior, black is black, white is white, and there is no gray area.Severus Snape was terrified for the moment.He was afraid that once he made a choice, he and Lily would no longer be able to deceive themselves into embracing each other.

So, do you want to reject the Duke of Darkness?Want to reject a leader who is unpredictable and crazy?His subordinates are all elite soldiers and powerful generals. Even a nobleman like Lucius bowed his head in front of him. How would he treat the little people who dared to reject him?No one can tell whether the Duke will take back the olive branch indifferently, or kill chickens to make an example to show that those who obey will prosper and those who oppose will perish.

Not to mention that I have never concealed the relationship between Lily and him, just because... Thinking of this, Snape stretched out his arms to hug Lily, his eyes deepened.

Lily relaxed herself into Snape's arms, wrapped her arms around Sev's strong waist, and felt the surge between the two with half-closed eyes.Lily's early sadness was not only because of Petunia, but also because the two sisters actually encountered the same problem in love and felt angry.At this time, she didn't know whether to pray for the protection of God or Merlin, because neither God nor Merlin obviously took the emotions of these little women into their hearts.It's not that Lily doesn't understand Sev's thoughts, since he went to Slytherin, he was destined to embark on a path of chasing power and power.Sif always keeps a tight string, constantly absorbing knowledge like a water-absorbing sponge, and never misses any opportunity to make himself stronger.Whether it is applying for the private teaching of Professor Slughorn or cooperating with Malfoy to earn Galleons, it has truly proved his ability.But at this time, the Duke of Darkness became more and more powerful, and Hogwarts was also affected, talking and talking everywhere, and there were not a few people who immediately drew their sticks to meet each other if they disagreed.The Jiedao foursome have calmed down strangely recently, and they didn't deduct points for night tours anymore. During the day, they like to provoke Slytherin as always. Sev has already fought with them several times, and they no longer use the incisor match Innocuous little curses such as big stick and tarantella dance, but spells such as fast imprisonment and fragmentation that should only appear on the battlefield.The contradictions are slowly intensifying, and it seems that even Dumbledore can't quiet down the campus.

Gryffindors are all rumored, and all Slytherins have turned to the Dark Lord.Lily didn't believe this kind of statement, it was as ridiculous as the Dark Lord thinking that Muggles should die.But Lily still couldn't help worrying, she could avoid the strange eyes in the college, and ignore some people's childish difficulties, but she was afraid that she couldn't hide from the stubborn stone in front of love.She knows Sif's talent and dreams, and she even feels Sif's faint admiration for the Duke of Darkness, but she is not optimistic about the Duke of Darkness's political views, just like what Penny once said about the failure of the German Nazis. Big, how can it be so easy.Not to mention her family members are all within the scope of this so-called Duke of Darkness's "slaughter".What should she do?What is her family going to do?What about their love?

What about their future.
