Back to 1975

At the beginning of 1977, the new year had just passed, and it had been almost three months since the evil incident in Mark's Pavilion. The Dark Lord finally couldn't bear the loneliness, and his mark began to appear frequently in people's vision.

Five times, the Dark Mark appeared five times, and each time someone died.People gradually began to hate this mark, but they didn't panic too much. It was just Auror who came forward and arrested the criminal.They believed that this was a vicious serial murder case, not an organized and premeditated gang.

No matter how much Harry raised his middle finger, he couldn't erase the irritability in his heart.

He was annoyed why people were so careless, why the Ministry of Magic only paid attention to face-saving projects, instead of making these inside information public and making people aware of the danger of the situation.Even the empty-headed Slytherin kids were aware, or rather, their parents had some information.

Voldemort's followers have existed for a long time, but Voldemort has been working hard to expand his influence, and has always been trying to establish a positive image, participate in some public welfare activities and use public opinion to build momentum for himself.

And now, he's a little crazy.

Currently, his Dark Mark is not widely known.But after a while, people will understand it more deeply, but the tuition fee is too high.

Whenever Voldemort or his disciples killed someone, they would leave the Dark Mark on the body or house.The gigantic skeleton seemed to be composed of countless green star-like things.It will rise higher and higher in the sky, waving its teeth and claws in the dark night sky, like a new constellation, but it does not have any beautiful meaning, what it represents is only death.

Every time people see it, it means that a person or several people have disappeared from this world.

And now it is less than five years from October 1981, 31.

In the past five years, people will continue to die, people will continue to disappear, and countless people will be persecuted.Including Harry's relatives.

But 1981 is not the end of the nightmare. Voldemort will be reborn, and the people Harry loves will die one by one.

His parents, his godfather, Remus, his beloved Headmaster Dumbledore, his friend Fred, and Severus Snape.

And the funny young Auror Tonks who always changed her appearance, she also died, leaving only the baby Teddy with Remus.

And the innocent Cedric Diggory and Colin Creevey, the stern Minister Rufus Scrimgeour who ended up defending justice with his life, and old Alastor Moody , Emmeline Vance, and Regulus Black.

And, of course, there's former Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald.He committed a heinous crime, but at the last moment of his life, he refused to bow to Voldemort and was killed by Voldemort in Nurmengard's cell.

Gryffindor was hit hard. In the defense of Hogwarts after Voldemort's resurrection, more than 50 Gryffindor students died in battle.

Dobby died too, as did Hedwig, who had been with Harry all along.

In the end, Harry was victorious, and justice triumphed over evil.But why, why did they pay such a high price?Harry lost all his family, even an owl.

~~~~~~~~~

Harry locked himself in the dark room.He's in the Room of Requirement right now, everyone else is out, and he's in the darkroom, developing the pictures.

There was no light in the darkroom, and it was so dark that you could hardly see your fingers.Harry stood in front of the photo developing tools, cleaning the photos one by one, soaking them in the potion over and over again.

Suddenly, the sound of the door opening came from behind Harry, and he immediately turned his head away, heaving a sigh of relief after realizing that no light had come through.

"Harry, you've been here for almost four hours, haven't you finished yet?" Lily walked forward cautiously in the dark, her foot accidentally kicked a bucket, and she was too frightened to move any further. up.

Harry turned around and helped her to his side, and went back to processing the photos.

"It's so dark..." Lily muttered, "Where did you learn this?"

Harry showed a mysterious smile, but Lily couldn't see his expression at all, "It was taught to me by the person who sold me the camera."

While they were selling second-hand, Harry met a boy who wanted to sell a camera.He planned to replace it with a better one, so he resold the camera to Harry at a low price, and taught him how to develop photos.

"I'm going to make a photo album for Snape's birthday on the ninth."

"Don't Snape Snape's, it should be Severus. Can't you call him by his first name?"

Harry pursed his lips, and complained a little bit unconvinced, "He doesn't call me by my name properly, he calls me all day long, we are just exchanging courtesy."

"Someone has to bow first." Lily seemed to be dissatisfied with Harry's attitude, she reached out and grabbed his clothes, "It's not that you don't know Severus' character, but you always call him Snape, it's really too much." It hurts."

Harry couldn't help but put the photo into the black potion, pinched it with a long clip and shook it gently, "Unless he calls me Harry first, don't think of me calling him by his Christian name."

"Harry! You can't keep thinking like that, you have to call him Severus, S, F, L, S—"

Severus - Harry couldn't help shivering.Be friends with Snape, go out with Snape at night, give Snape a birthday present, and call him Severus in a nasty way.Harry rubbed the goose bumps on his arms vigorously, forget it.

"Anyway, it's enough for you, a sweet sister, to call him Severus kindly."

Lily couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "It's not me that he likes, no matter how sweet I am, what good is it?"

Harry couldn't help but glance at her, Snape didn't like her, so who would he like?

Almost all of Snape's life revolved around Lily, defecting for Lily, protecting the Savior for Lily, and finally, dying to atone for Lily.Snape didn't care about anyone but Lily, didn't care about anyone.

Harry switched on the red light and couldn't help a wry smile, even he couldn't help feeling sorry for Snape.

He has already started the final step of developing the photos, concentrating on the photos he has worked so hard to produce.Lily leaned next to him by the red light and watched him fiddle with the photos and hang them up to dry on the rope one by one.

"Look, the photo has moved!" Lily exclaimed in surprise.

She stood in front of the photo, looking at Snape who was smiling, and Harry who was gesticulating beside him.She turned her head to stare at Harry's profile, and suddenly laughed, and whispered in his ear, as if afraid of being overheard: "Harry, don't you think Severus likes it?" You?"

With a bang, the clip in Harry's hand fell into the potion, he turned his head and stared at Lily with wide eyes, and shouted as if the world was ending: "Please, auntie, please do me—! "

Lily laughed, she ran to the door quickly, said see you soon, opened a crack in the door, and got out.

~~~~~~~~~

After Sirius was stripped of his pants, everyone fell in love with gambling.

The bet is good, the bet is wonderful, it is a means of blessing for the lazy, and a leisure game for the rich.

Want to get rid of poverty overnight?No problem, come and bet with us!But if you lose your fortune and lose your pants... sorry, this is purely a matter of character, please don't ask grandpa to sue grandma, it doesn't work, no one can guarantee your luck.

Poor Harry also embarked on the road of gambling.

The only thing that made him lucky was that he didn't need to use his pants as a bargaining chip, all he needed was a mask—the vampire mask that appeared on Halloween last year, which was very similar to James's.Lily seemed to like it a lot and seemed to be planning to make a pair with James's.

That mask is not cheap, Lily struggled for a long time, and took out a set of out-of-print antique poetry collections as a bargaining chip.Harry didn't like poetry books, but he didn't care too much, because he had planned to give Lily the mask in the first place.

It's just that the content of the bet is a bit...

Harry looked at the ceiling in distress, his teeth ached just thinking about that bet.

Lily looked at the clock. It was already eight o'clock in the evening. She touched Harry to signal that it was time for him to connect, and gave him a small note.

There were some abnormalities inside Slytherin. They often discussed something in private. Harry guessed that it must have something to do with Voldemort.The Slytherins have been in a panic recently, and their relationship with Gryffindor has become more and more tense, and Snape, who has a good relationship with Gryffindor, has naturally become the target of being targeted.To make things easier for Snape in Slytherin, they stopped acting together, and only occasionally met in the Room of Requirement at night.

And today, January [-]th, was Snape's birthday.

Regardless of what Lily called him, Harry remained slumped in his chair and just took the note.When he opened it, his entire face turned red.He couldn't help covering his face and crying, he could almost imagine the scene, and the landslide and the end of the world couldn't describe his feelings.

He regretted it, he didn't want to bet anymore, he would rather die than do such a stupid thing!

"I can give you the mask directly...Lily, can I not go?"

Lily pulled Harry hard, and stuffed his bulging schoolbag into his arms, "You have already promised, Gryffindor has never been a coward, we are honest, brave, and trustworthy, as long as we promise, we will not go back on our promises." !" She pushed Harry out of the door forcefully, "Remember, you must read to Severus according to the content on the note!"

"But... cocoa cocoa me..." Harry tried to get back on his warm couch again, "Can I read instead of the note?"

Lily pushed Harry to the door with a firm attitude that could not be overwhelmed, "I will keep my eyes on the Marauder's Map, don't try to cheat, I will go to Severus to prove it in person tomorrow. If you dare to cheat even a little Behavior—I'll let James strip you naked and throw you on the court! You're naked, not even your underwear!"

Lily didn't feel that her behavior violated the lady's code at all, she raised her chin like a Malfoy, and said triumphantly: "Remember to give Severus our gift."

The door of the common room was closed before Harry's eyes. He stood at the door in despair, wishing he could tear the note in his hand to shreds!

"Don't look at me with such deep eyes, baby, oh, this reminds me of the country poet who pursued me 300 years ago-oh-" The fat woman held her little heart intoxicated.

Harry: "..."

In the common room, James looked at Lily blankly, "What did you bet on?"

Lily shrugged deliberately pretending to be relaxed and unrestrained, trying to hide the excitement in her heart that seemed to be galloping past thousands of muddy horses, "Ahem, it's nothing, we're just betting...whether Snape likes Harry or not."

"what?!"

Lily immediately opened her arms and blocked the door of the common room like an old hen protecting her cubs, "You don't want to cause damage, if you want to go out, you must put me down first!"

James: "..."
