Atonement of HP

"Oh, Severus, I'm glad you came to Lily's wedding." Dumbledore stood with Snape in a corner of the hall, and Snape was facing the door. Easy." His words meant something.

"I don't understand, Mr. Dumbledore." Snape didn't want to call him "Headmaster" any more.

"Oh, Severus, you should trust me more, what happened last time..." Snape interrupted Dumbledore before he finished speaking.

"If you're talking about the fifth year thing, I don't think we have anything to say, Slytherin's not a fool, Dumbledore 'headmaster'." Snape didn't realize it himself, and when he said this, his face His expression was very much like Lucius.

Dumbledore was in a daze. From Snape, he seemed to see the Malfoy Patriarch who sneered and threatened him afterwards. For a moment, he felt a little guilty for causing trouble between them, but he immediately suppressed down.This is for justice, he told himself. "Severus, you've learned to be tolerant." Dumbledore's expression on his face was very kind, "At that time, everyone was still a child, but you see, now you are all grown up, and James is married today. "

"I thought the whole reason I'm here today is because I received an invitation." Snape restrained the expression on his face.

"Of course, Severus, you want Lily to be happy?" Dumbledore's words were full of hints.

It was the first time for Snape to feel the speechlessness that Lucius had ever felt. Dumbledore was right in front of him, with a look of "I know your secret", which was really helpless. "Mr. Dumbledore, I thought..." Snape wanted to ask what you wanted me for. Facing the White Wizard, with his current status, he didn't need to endure many things.

But a figure appeared at the door, the groom was laughing and hugging the visitor, Snape shut up.At the same time, like two ends of a magnet, the visitor immediately saw Snape in the corner, James Potter's best brother - Sirius.

"Severus, I know you..." Seeing that Snape didn't speak, Dumbledore thought he was thinking something, and he continued his speech, because of the angle, he didn't notice anyone else approaching.

"Principal Dumbledore." So when Sirius' voice sounded, Dumbledore subconsciously became alert. Although he relaxed immediately, he did not escape the attention of Snape and Sirius who had been paying attention to him. Note that there is a quick trace of injury in the latter's eye.

Sirius had had a rough time since the war broke out.In fact, ever since they graduated, Sirius had a rough time.Different from the work of the classmates at the same time, and the inheritance of the family business, Sirius is more like a ghost that no one cares about, floating around within the scope of Hogwarts.

Few in the wizarding world dared to offer Sirius a job—it was because of the power of the Black family. Although there were no other rumors, Sirius' open hostility was well known. Yes, in this case, no one wants to get themselves into trouble.

Simply, Sirius inherited an inheritance at this time - from a distant relative of his, who was also said to have been kicked out of the house.

Sirius, who just found out that he had received an inheritance, was filled with endless gratitude. The cruel reality told the former young master that he could not live without Galleon, and what surprised him even more was the inheritance The person turned out to be Narcissa.

Since Narcissa married to Germany, Sirius has never seen her again. As the eldest son who was expelled from the house, Sirius was not even eligible to attend the wedding. In the summer of the fifth grade, he and Bella's "fighting side by side" resembled It was a dream, and now, after waking up from the dream, the Miss Black family got married, and Sirius couldn't attend.

Sirius still remembered Narcissa's worries. As the family member who had the closest relationship with him at Black's house, Narcissa told him a lot of things he didn't know.

For example, how his mother was worried about him, and even secretly put part of her jewelry in this inheritance; for example, how his father covered him in front of the Dark Lord so that he would not be listed as a The target of the attack... Also, his younger brother, the current heir of the Black family, even brought him a very well-collected ring, Tonacisa, in his father's study.

Sirius knew that this was Regulus' promise to himself, once he became the head of the house, he would take his brother home.

Unfortunately, Sirius was too proud. He just glanced at the ugly black stone ring and let Narcissa take it home.He, Sirius, could accept his mother's support and father's protection, but he couldn't accept the promise made to him by his younger brother who took his place.

It's not that Narcissa is not disappointed, but she is now married to Germany. Although the Black family is her natal family, there is the matter of the Malfoy family in the front, and the development of the Black family in the back. Narcissa is also very entangled.

Although Sirius did not accept Regulus' "promise", the black ring was considered to have drawn a strong stroke in his heart.

Then the war broke out, the situation gradually deteriorated, and Sirius faced an important choice in his life - which side to stand on.If it was Sirius who was still in school, there was no need to answer this question at all, but Sirius, who knew something through Narcissa after graduation, was a little hesitant, but soon, this hesitation came with the arrival of James Potter The smoke cleared.

The old Potters were dead, murdered by Death Eaters.

Probably the Black family is born with paranoid blood, Sirius decided that the Death Eaters killed his family, and since Mrs. Potter was once a Black, so he chose the Order of the Phoenix, this is for justice, you see, convince yourself it's actually really easy.

But... Sirius didn't get the recognition he dreamed of. Maybe Principal Dumbledore still trusted him, but others... He came from the Black family, which is now the most powerful among the Death Eaters. He was once a pure-blood noble family. Heir to the family, he can now live off the inheritance, his family is almost all Death Eaters now... what else is there to say?Sirius' whole body was covered with the label of "not fully trustworthy", so the battlefields he could go to were few and marginal, which in turn aroused Sirius' viciousness.

Soon, the name of the Black family's "Mad Dog" began to spread, but this time, whether it was the Death Eaters or the Order of the Phoenix, they all put him together with "Crazy Bella". Well-deserved reputation.

The feeling of being somewhat accepted by both sides, and somewhat rejected by both sides made Sirius feel uncomfortable, so there were also James and Peter.

Peter joined the Order of the Phoenix directly at the beginning of the war, which surprised Sirius and the others. Later they learned that Peter's old father was killed by Death Eaters, which also made Peter hate Death Eaters.

Finally, with the foundation of the previous friendship, Peter soon became good friends with Sirius and James again, but Lupine... Sirius didn't know, and Lupine hadn't heard from him since he left.

"Oh, my child," Dumbledore's kind voice interrupted Sirius's thoughts, "you must be the best man, oh, then you are late!"

"Principal Dumbledore, I'm in a hurry." Sirius tucked his wand into the back of his trousers, staring at Snape blankly. Since the wedding, Sirius hadn't seen Snape so closely. Common.Seeing the "snot man" whom he despised the most in the past standing there with an unimaginable aristocratic demeanor and temperament, he felt a little ashamed at first, and then the anger of being humiliated, which was directly expressed in his tone: " Yo, isn’t this a snot? What? That poisonous snake Malfoy loosened his tail and let you out?”

Sirius' purpose was of course provocation, but his words always sounded a little different, and it was precisely this meaning that made Dumbledore look at Sirius in surprise, and suddenly began to guess other possibilities in his heart.

"Stupid dog!" Snape confronted Sirius, even in the next life there will be no peace!What's more, thinking that it was because of him that Lucius almost turned into a werewolf, Snape couldn't forgive Sirius, "I hope your dog stuffed with splendens has something else in his mind, knowing that today I was invited Guest, the most important thing you should do is put on your dog leash and wag your tail at your master, instead of barking here!" A long stream of sarcasm poured out almost without stumbling.

"You bloody snot!" It was strange, but Sirius felt indescribably happy after being drenched from head to toe in Snape's venom. He pulled out his wand and felt that he was in the Order of the Phoenix during this time. The depression of doubt was swept away.

"Oh, children." Dumbledore hurriedly stood among them. How did he not know about the "personal relationship" between Sirius and Snape before? "Sirius, it's time for you to be the best man, put away your wand, today is a good day for James."

Coincidentally, Peter ran over and saw the swords in the corner, and shrank subconsciously. Sirius curled his lips disapprovingly when he saw Peter's reaction. There were mice everywhere, even if they were with Peter. The restoration of friendship cannot hide the fact that Peter is timid.

"Sirius, James...James is looking for you." Peter pulled Sirius' sleeve nervously, and the latter opened his mouth maliciously at Snape, and the mouth shape was "Malfoy's." bitch".

Sirius walked for a while, neither Dumbledore nor Snape spoke.Sirius' last behavior was a joke at all to the "they feel sorry" that Dumbledore just mentioned.

"Ahem, Sirius has been a little too nervous lately..." Dumbledore rarely felt embarrassed. He said haha, knowing that today he can only get straight to the point, otherwise he doesn't know when the next time he will see Snape alone. "Severus, what do you think of the current wizarding world?"

"This is Lucius' business." Snape was expressionless, and Occlumency was activated. In his previous life, he had never had the experience of instigating the White Wizard, but he was not sure in this life.

"Severus, although little Mr. Malfoy is also my favorite student, but I have to say..." Dumbledore showed a look of embarrassment: "He restricts you too strictly, Severus, You are the head of the Prince family, if this goes on, the Prince family is very dangerous. Oh, maybe you don’t know yet, I am very good friends with the old Prince, it’s a pity that he left.” His tone It's full of sadness.

Snape rolled his eyes in his heart. When did my grandfather know Dumbledore very well, and my grandfather knew Aberforth almost as well. How many times did my grandfather go to drink at Aberforth when his mother was away? It is precisely because of this experience that Snape and Lucius knew the "details" of the owner of the Pig's Head Bar.

"Lucius will take care of it." Snape's voice was obviously stiff. According to his plan with Lucius, now he still needs to deepen the outside world's impression that they are not harmonious.

"Oh, Severus, for the sake of old Prince, you can come to me with any questions, my child." Dumbledore looked at Snape, with love for the younger generation in his eyes.

I don't know why, at this moment, what Snape remembered was the last time Gellert looked at Lucius at Malfoy's house, compared with the middle-aged appearance of the former demon king, he was still handsome when he met Dumbledore. Lido wore pink wizard robes. Snape, who had never paid much attention to his appearance in two lifetimes, suddenly understood why Lucius was so keen on maintaining his "beauty". The external conditions were definitely flawed!

"Thank you for your kindness!" Finally Snape said dryly, with a standard aristocratic salute, his purpose had been achieved, he needed to make Dumbledore obscure his position.

"Oh, by the way, my child, you will keep in touch with Miss Evans, after all, Lily will have no family from now on, and the only relative she has in the Muggle world is you." Dumbledore said in Snape spoke from behind.

Snape paused, thinking of the Evans couple who were imprisoned because Lily was a wizard in the previous life, and Petunia who was so afraid of magic that she was almost terrified, "I will." His voice was soft, but his eyes were full of excitement. It was cold, he had never missed Lucius as much as now, and everyone had to pay the price for their choices.
