[HP] This deer is not a deer

Dumbledore left the quiet ward, and he returned to the headmaster's office.

The smoky silverware was still tinkling, causing the entire principal's room to be filled with smoke. Professor McGonagall was walking back and forth in the principal's room. Dumbledore was reading the letter carefully. He put down the letter paper and wrote a reply carefully before going to the crescent moon. He wiped his glasses carefully, rubbed his browbones, stood up and handed the letter to the owl who was squatting beside him.

Professor McGonagall looked a little anxious, and said, "Well, they can't deny these things at last."

Dumbledore nodded lightly, and Professor McGonagall sighed, "Has Severus not come back yet? It's been a whole day, and Hogwarts' potions classes were all suspended yesterday."

Fox on the perch was still combing his feathers. It spread its wings and flew to Dumbledore's side, and lightly pecked Dumbledore's thumb. Dumbledore seemed to be thinking, and he gently touched Dumbledore's thumb. Fox's little head didn't respond to Professor McGonagall right away.

Professor McGonagall went on, "I can't imagine what could have happened, luckily Harry is alright - although the spell was just as bad, I wish Severus hadn't used it..."

Dumbledore looked up and was about to speak when the closed door slammed loudly!Professor McGonagall was taken aback, the door was shaken by the rude slap, and a familiar man in a black wizard robe strode into the room.

"——Severus?" Professor McGonagall turned to look, and suddenly reacted and said, "Merlin! You're back! You suddenly barged in and surprised me. This is the principal's office!"

Snape strode up to the two of them, his straight hair hanging on his shoulders was a bit disheveled, which made him look a bit embarrassed, Snape turned his head and looked around the room, he glanced at Professor McGonagall, walked to Deng In front of Bullido.

Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him, and he said softly, "It's okay, Minerva, I told him the password to the headmaster's office. You're back at last, Severus."

Snape stood there in silence, his breathing a little violent, his black eyes fixed on Dumbledore.

"It's getting late, Minerva." Dumbledore looked at Snape, then turned to Professor McGonagall, "The curfew is coming soon, I think you need to go and see those disobedient students Have you settled down? I have something else to discuss with Snape alone."

A portrait who came back from a visit suddenly interjected, "I just saw the Weasley twins again, and they stuffed Crabbe upside down into the toilet."

"Oh... no," Professor McGonagall nodded at Dumbledore, and she said secretly annoyed, "Where are Fred and George now? Then I'm going. I really hope they can be more peaceful someday... ..."

She left in a hurry, the principal's room was suddenly quiet, only Dumbledore and Snape were left, Fox waved his wings, flew up and landed on the perch, and was looking at the room with wide eyes The only two people.

Snape moved his lips, his breathing was a little difficult, and he asked in a low voice, "How is Harry?"

"Harry is badly injured and may have a scar, but he will be all right," said Dumbledore. "Sit down, Severus."

Snape pursed his lips and walked towards the chair opposite Dumbledore.

Dumbledore turned his head and asked, "Have you seen Riddle?"

Hearing this, Snape finally seemed to react a bit. His expression was a little pale, his arm resting on the armrest trembled slightly, and he quickly calmed down again.Snape sat down quickly, nodded and said hoarsely, "He still needs me, don't worry."

"You need to drink some potions and take a good rest." Dumbledore said worriedly, looking at him seriously.

"It's just a Cruciatus Curse, and I can bear it." Snape twitched the corners of his mouth, and said indifferently, "Obviously, touching someone who shouldn't should be punished."

"But now you should go back and have a good rest. Severus, we will take care of the rest, you go back and have a good rest." Dumbledore said, but Sneh didn't leave, he sat there like a log.

After a while, Snape moved his lips, as if he wanted to ask something, but he couldn't.

Snape's shoulders slowly lost the strength and gradually fell down weakly. The hand used to brandish the wand trembled slightly, and the voice in his throat was hoarse and indistinct, as if cut by a saw.

"Harry is fine, he is safely in the hospital, Severus." Dumbledore looked at him with blue eyes and said softly, "If you are worried, you should go and see."

"I almost killed him... Lily..." Snape whispered hoarsely, he seemed to be tightly strangled by the throat, trying to restrain his trembling emotions, he was panting violently and silently, Dumbledore was looking at him sadly.

After a while, the fierce struggle on Snape's face was finally suppressed, and his expression returned to calm.

"You can go and see Harry," said Dumbledore again.

Snape just nodded indifferently, but he didn't want to act as if he had listened in. He turned and walked out of the principal's office completely indifferently, but as soon as he left the principal's office, Snape's pace suddenly changed and he quickly walked towards the school hospital. He strode in the direction he was going, but when he came to the second floor, he stopped suddenly in the corridor.

He stood there, looked and looked towards the direction of the school hospital, he was quiet for a few seconds, then turned and left, and walked back towards the cellar.

He hadn't seen Harry.

Even though Snape knew that Harry had been lying in the school hospital for a whole week.

Hogwarts at the end of the term became even more hectic, and soon the news spread that Harry was lying in the school hospital. Everything about the Ministry of Magic was clearly published in the newspapers, which almost made people panic. Among them, Ron, who knew what had caused Harry's injury, became resentful and hostile every time he saw Snape, and even Hermione Granger always stared at him warily.

Snape just continued to teach his potions ruthlessly, increasing the homework again and again, causing all the students to complain. At the same time, the homework of several subjects also increased. The pressure of classwork left the students almost no time to think Too many things.Snape didn't see Harry until the end of the term.

When Harry recovered, the end of the term was completely over, and Dumbledore exempted Harry from all the exams for this semester, and he left Hogwarts on the day Harry was discharged from the hospital.

……

Hogwarts was almost empty during the holidays, and Snape naturally wouldn't stay here.But he'd come back periodically to the Order of the Phoenix, or that old boring mansion full of screaming dark magic items, and just go get some good-for-nothing stray dog, and Blake couldn't get over his pathetic sinner status. , for which he had to be sheltered by the Order of the Phoenix and escaped from St. Mungo's.

Of course - he'd also meet a real werewolf.Occasionally Snape found something interesting, even though those things also bored Snape.

He saw Tonks' Patronus, and he remembered that it wasn't like this before, and while it had nothing to do with him, why not if it could make things difficult for them? The tense and lifeless activity adds a bit of luster, at least, from his point of view.

Two months later.

When school started, Snape returned to Hogwarts.

Harry wasn't at the Gryffindor table again.

As always, Harry got into trouble again, and he was late again.

Leaving the hall, Snape strode towards the gate of Hogwarts with a lantern in his hand. There was someone standing there, and that figure was so familiar that Snape recognized it all at once.As he drew his wand, he tapped the lock once, and the chain retracted like a snake, and the door creaked open.

The two standing there spotted him, and the light fell on Harry and Tonks, Harry turned to look in his direction, and Snape gave Harry a careful look, staring blankly into Harry's green eyes .

This year, Harry is already in the sixth grade.

"You've shown your face at last, Potter, though you obviously think wearing school robes would spoil your looks."

Harry was in a mess, he looked terrible, the blood on his nose was still wet, and he looked like he had just had a fight with someone.Snape's eyes turned cold, and Harry was a little uncomfortable and silent. He wiped his face with his hand, and stared down at the grass, as if trying to calm himself down.

"I can't change, my suitcase—" he was interrupted by Snape.

Snape wasn't going to listen to his defense, saying to Tonks, who had safely escorted Harry back, "There's no need to wait any longer, Nymphadora. Potter is very - er - safe in my hands."

"I was supposed to break the news to Hagrid," said Tonks, frowning.

"Hagrid, like Potter, didn't make it to the start-of-term banquet on time, so I took it." Snape narrowed his eyes, and he took a step back, letting Harry pass by, who didn't speak or look at him. , seemed disturbed by his presence.

They didn't trust him, Snape sneered indifferently, Harry turned to look at Tonks frequently, Snape stared at Harry, then at Tonks.

Harry kept looking back at Tonks.

Snape narrowed his eyes and whispered slowly to Tonks, "By the way, I'm interested in your new Patronus." Max slammed the door shut in his face, tapped the chain with his wand again, and with a clang of metal, the chain snapped back into place like a snake.

Harry looked anxiously at Tonks who was locked outside the door.

"I think the old one is better," Snape continued to her through the door.

Harry stood next to him, glancing at him over his shoulder.

Because he said something mean to Tonks?That's what Snape no doubt guessed, his voice revealing nothing but more malice, "The new one doesn't seem to have any strength."

Snape flicked the lantern, and a look of anger flashed across Tonks' face, but then she was enveloped in darkness again.

The author has something to say:

I just found out that Snape had such an evil line...
