Chapter 23 "Break Up"

After a good night's sleep, Harry yawned heavily, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and stretched on the bed before turning over and sitting up.He glanced at James beside him, except that Remus was not on the bed, the other three were all asleep with their heads covered.During the last two months when the moon was full, they stayed with Remus, and when the night was over, they would sneak back to catch up on sleep.

He pushed the sleeping James hard to wake him up, and then went to grab Sirius and Peter.

"My God..." Sirius leaned against the head of the bed, "It's better not to come back to sleep."

Peter wrapped himself up and pretended to be a sea cucumber: "I'd rather sleep forever..."

Harry sent them out of bed, and the four of them missed breakfast and rushed to the classroom.

The first class in the morning was herbal medicine, and they had to hurry to the greenhouse outside the castle to attend the class.It takes several minutes to run from the dormitory to the greenhouse.

The students had already arrived at Greenhouse No. [-]. Harry waved to Lily and looked at Snape beside him.

"Hi, your complexion doesn't look good, didn't you sleep well?"

Snape watched his expression change slightly, he looked at Harry Potter with no expression on his face, but there was a mockery in his eyes.

Snape's face was ugly, with obvious dark circles under his eyes, and he looked as if he hadn't slept in three days.

Harry stared at him for a moment, leaned over and asked him in a low voice, "You didn't meet Sirius yesterday, did you, and Remus?"

Snape's lips pursed suddenly, and he remembered Harry's previous warning to ignore Sirius Black no matter what in the last few days.His eyes narrowed, looking at Harry suspiciously.

He glanced at Harry, walked towards the direction of the Slytherins without looking back, chose the last seat, facing the podium, and placed the textbooks on the table.

Lily and Harry looked at each other, "What happened to him?"

Lily shrugged, "Maybe you're in a bad mood?"

Harry pouted, and also took out his textbooks, ready for class.He glanced at Lily. In such a short few minutes, she still didn't forget to take out her class notes and rolled her eyes involuntarily.

"Let's go to Hogsmeade and have fun."

Lily's eyes widened again.

"Stop staring, it's almost cross-eyed." Harry didn't dare to say it out loud, but just muttered. "You can't always learn like this, or you will go crazy sooner or later. Why don't you go back to Hogsmeade to relax. I heard that there will be new robes and accessories on the shelves before spring and summer, and Zizi Honey Bee Candy should also It’s going to be sold at a discount.”

Lily laughed suddenly, her smile was bright and soft, her red hair set off her fair face, making her look even more beautiful in the bright glass greenhouse. "Thanks, Harry."

After class, there was still some time before lunch. At noon when the weather was bright, some students simply didn't go back, and rushed out of the classroom to spend time on the lawn outside.

Harry stopped Snape, took him and Lily together, found a quieter place, and sat down.As usual, small floral cloths were spread on the grass, and Lily took out a book of class notes from her schoolbag as if by magic, and distributed them to Harry and Snape.

"My God..." Harry almost wanted to jump into the Black Lake.

Snape looked at Harry coldly, and didn't make a sound, not even the usual snort.

"Shall we talk about something lighter, like Hogsmeade week?" Harry tried to change the subject, "Take a break from studying, nervousness and stress for a day?"

"Harry, it's me and Severus who should relax, so you don't have to." Lily said mercilessly.

"...Gather at six o'clock on Saturday morning, meet at the gate?" Harry selectively ignored Lily and looked at Snape, "Then while it's early, we can play together and go to the herbal store to see look."

Usually, the better the goods are in the morning, I believe everyone knows that.In particular, the Hogsmeade Herb Store seems to be a wholesale point, and there are always people buying in batches.Scattered small customers like them have to go early.What's more, the quality of herbal medicine is always the best in the morning.

Both Lily and Snape were fans of potions, Lily looked at Harry and compromised, "Okay, okay, then let's go shopping."

Harry smiled brightly and turned to look at Snape.

"I'm not going." Snape replied stiffly.

"Severus! Go, just stay with me."

"Yes, and I can only go shopping with you. At nine o'clock, I will go to Mark's House to help. How about it?"

Snape frowned suddenly, "Who do you think you are, why should I go?"

Harry froze for a moment, "Then...then you come to set a time?"

It felt as if he had punched cotton, or as if he had punched himself.Snape's mouth was tightly pursed, and he glared at Harry Potter angrily, "I said, I'm not going!"

"Snape! Did you take the wrong medicine? We didn't mess with you!"

"Aha." Snape looked at him, feeling suddenly worthless for himself, "How should I judge you? Self-righteous, arrogant, arrogant?"

Lily stared at Snape with wide eyes, "Stop it, stop talking! What are you talking about?" She looked at Harry, "Harry, you... don't take it seriously, really, Severus's His temper is not very good, he didn't mean it."

Harry's head was still in the dark, and he didn't know what was wrong with Snape. "What do you mean by that? Did I provoke you and make you use such vicious words to retaliate against me?"

Snape didn't speak, he stood up, picked up his schoolbag, and left without looking back.

"Harry..." Lily looked at him nervously, "You won't...you won't blame him, right?"

"Now I'm not blaming him, but he's angry at me! And I still don't know why he is angry!"

"Hi!" James ran towards them. He sat next to Harry, pointed to the distance and asked, "What's wrong with the snot? Have you had a fight?"

Harry frowned and scratched his hair vigorously, "Don't ask."

James shrugged, "Okay, don't ask if you don't ask. But Snape has a weird temper, he has a bad temper, he doesn't speak morally, so it's hard to hear anything."

"James!" Lily grabbed the notebook and threw it at him.

"Hey!" James stopped him. "You have to admit it, he's like that! He's got a weird temper."

Lily stared dryly, but couldn't refute, at least Snape's temper this time was really weird.

Harry glanced at James and asked him in a low voice, "Did Sirius succeed in his prank?"

"No." James said with certainty, "I swear he didn't succeed. And I didn't help him, and the raiding team didn't mess with him."

Just played him a little bit.James looked at Harry with a genuine smile.

"How about we have a picnic here?" James suggested.

Lily seemed hesitant to speak. She glanced at James, but before she could speak, Harry preempted her, "Okay, let's get something to eat."

The two boys strode towards the castle, and James patted Harry on the arm, "Don't worry, it's no use thinking about it. Snape has a bad temper, you can make up once or twice, but Nobody can stand arguing all the time."

They walked into the hall one after another, and the two of them took a lot of food and brought some drinks along the way.James greeted Sirius and Peter. Remus was not there, and he didn't want his brothers to eat alone in the hall.The four of them walked out together carrying copper trays full of them.

James glanced in the direction of Slytherin. He deliberately lagged two steps behind his friends. It seemed that he wanted to say something to Harry, but finally he kept his mouth shut.

Harry gave him a suspicious look, and James grinned and caught up with his friends ahead.

Lily didn't seem very happy at the picnic, although it wasn't too obvious, but Harry could tell.

Lily loved the company of Harry and James, and she once said that it gave her an inexplicable sense of happiness and satisfaction.Although not very happy, Lily chatted with them for a while.

In front of the castle gate not far away, Snape was standing there, looking at the few people who were talking and laughing from a distance.

See, as he thought, their lives were still good without him.

Snape smiled coldly, gave the five people a hard look, and strode back.

~~~~~~~~~

Snape walked briskly down the corridor.

He glanced at the portraits on the wall. Some of them were chatting together, while others were busy with their own business.Perhaps it was because they were already dead, so even if they were clamoring and clamoring for a duel, it would not make people feel frightened, but lively.

They were dead, but they looked at ease and peace.

Snape looked back, walked quickly down the stairs, and walked towards the cellar.

Harry was coming up from the ground floor, but stopped when he saw Snape.

"Hey!" Harry called Snape suddenly, "You didn't go to dinner tonight?"

Snape, who was going to walk around him, stopped suddenly. He turned to look at Harry Potter standing beside him, showing a sneer with contempt.

Harry pretended he didn't see it, and continued, "Let's go to Hogsmeade together at six o'clock on Saturday morning as planned."

"Harry Potter, your audacity is unmatched."

Harry's hands clenched into fists, "Snape! I warn you—"

"Warn me? You warn me?" Snape interrupted him, "Potter, you are more than just a cheeky word to describe, maybe you also have that unmatched honeyed belly sword."

"A sword in the mouth?!" Harry seemed to have heard the biggest joke of the century.

"Isn't it?" Snape stared at him, his deep voice was like a hissing snake, and more than its fangs were vicious, "Noble Harry Potter, condescending to approach a lowly Poor mixed-race, even pretending to be sincere, but do you really treat me as a friend?! When facing me, I acted hypocritically, but secretly played tricks on me mercilessly."

Snape looked at Harry's expression, he seemed to have a devil living in his heart, clamoring to stab others.He sneered, "Hypocritical, contrived, you are disgusting! What about your smile, don't stare at me, it just shows me how ridiculous you are!"

Harry's clenched hands shook uncontrollably, and he swung his fist to hit Snape's face with all his might!

He grabbed Snape's collar, and the anger in his heart surged upwards uncontrollably. He looked at Snape's disgusting face, "I have a sword in my belly, but you are sinister and vicious!"

Harry pushed him away, "Maybe we can't be friends, James is right, you can only be friends with sinister people, because in your eyes everyone is unpredictable!" After finishing speaking, he turned to After turning around, he went upstairs without looking back.

Snape stood leaning against the guardrail with his left face covered, his originally ferocious face became uneasy.His lips quivered a few times, but he couldn't utter a word, so he could only watch Harry leave.

He went downstairs in a daze, returned to the dormitory, sat on his bed, and lay down stiffly.

His eyes were fixed on the ceiling.

Maybe it was a mistake, maybe it wasn't Harry... no!impossible!He is James Potter's brother, and he will do anything to help his brother pursue Lily!He is insidious and cunning, he...

He said... he said be friends with me...

Think about that note!Think about that note with the title unsigned!Think of that gracious Severus!

Snape's face suddenly turned pale, and he sank deep into the soft bed, as if he had fallen into a swamp.

He grinned mockingly, but couldn't even maintain a smirk.

He just wanted an explanation, just wanted an apology... But in the end, he lost a friend.

Check it out and see what you messed up.You stupid, stupid--!

------------

In the original book, Lily helped Snape, but because of his embarrassment, he called Lily a mudblood instead.

He couldn't help it, it seemed the only way to preserve his last bit of dignity.Once he feels that he has been hurt, he can't help stabbing others to cover up his pain and show his indestructibility.But it was this kind of temper that made him go further and further away from his friends.
