Back to 1975

War seems to be far away from us, as if it has nothing to do with us. It is the business of adults, the government's business, not ours.

But what about when death is all around us?

When the news of Phil Langman's death reached Hogwarts, the entire hall fell into dead silence.

The Slytherins looked a little stunned, looking at Professor Dumbledore who brought the bad news.

Just now, Sirius jokingly said, could it be that Philip finally found a girlfriend and planned to go out for two days before returning to class?But now, Professor Dumbledore said that Philip was dead.

He died in the silent night, on an inconspicuous street corner, his body curled up and buried in garbage.He died under the Dark Mark, and it was not until the next morning that people saw the mark that was about to dissipate and found his body.

"Why...?" James sat in the dormitory, together with his good brothers, looking at the empty bed in the dormitory, which originally belonged to Philip, he was at a loss, "Why him?!"

Peter looked a little uneasy, "I don't know... Fili is a pure blood."

The originally warm dormitory became dull. Harry sat alone on his bed, his tone was very calm, a little abnormally calm, "This may be revenge, a threat, or a provocation."

Hogwarts gave them a piece of pure land, keeping them away from the hustle and bustle of war, so that they couldn't understand why Philip, who was living with them, just... died.

"Don't they advocate pure blood?!" James suddenly exclaimed, "Fili is pure blood!"

Sirius grabbed him, and his expression was not very good, "I heard that Fili's father is an Auror."

"But..." James stared blankly at Sirius with wide eyes, and then at Harry, looking a bit vulnerable, "but...he...dead..."

When we were young, our parents would always tell us that the dead have gone to the kingdom of heaven. When they reached the sky, they turned into stars, stayed with our relatives, and blessed us in the sky.

But no matter how moving the parents' explanation is, death is death.Never see you again.

At this moment, James hated death extremely, and he hated the murderer who killed Fili even more, the Death Eaters and the Dark Lord!

"Maybe the next one is Lily...or me! My dad works in the Ministry of Magic, and I'm a pureblood—" James grabbed Sirius by the collar, panting heavily, "I'm a character too. Lanffindor!"

At this moment, fear is infinitely magnified, and hatred is also magnified.

James' words seemed to wake Harry up. An idea flashed through his mind, and before he could fully realize what it was, he was already in a cold sweat from fright.Oh, oh, Charles, and Doria—!

Harry remembers, he remembers James and Lily's wedding photo without Charles and Doria, he remembers someone telling him that Lily had a crush on James after he lost his parents... when they graduated, Doria and Charles are dead!

Harry's limbs turned cold in an instant. He clutched the sheets tightly, stood up abruptly, and strode out of the dormitory.

"Harry! Where are you going, Harry?!"

Remus yelled at him to ask, but Harry didn't answer, he strode out of the dormitory and ran to the headmaster's office.

The warm and gentle Doria, and the steady but seldom-spoken Charles, they gave him family affection, the kindness of his parents that he had never tasted.

What a fucking future! ?What the fuck Voldemort, what the fuck Horcruxes!Harry was running in the corridor like crazy. At this moment, he felt extremely awake, more awake than ever——

He only wants his loved ones to live——!

He gave so much, only this time, only this time - he wanted to be selfish for once.

~~~~~~~~~

"I want to go home!" Harry stood in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts. "Professor Dumbledore, I need a secret keeper! I have to go back!"

"go home?"

"Yes, Godric's Hollow!" Harry's eyes were red, "I beg you, I beg you Professor Dumbledore, I want to go back, Charlus and Doria are dying! died--!"

"...if Merlin does take back their souls, that's fate too, Harry."

"I don't care!" Harry felt that he was going crazy, and he would growl at his most beloved headmaster Dumbledore, "I want to change it! You can't stop me, I have the strength of an adult, I can fight , I can do anything—"

Headmaster Dumbledore was sitting on a chair, and he looked at Harry absentmindedly, "You've grown up Harry..."

Harry walked up to the old headmaster, anxious and earnest, like a child who has made a mistake: "Can you help me? I can't live without them... If changing the future is a felony, I can take it on my own. I just Just want to do everything I can to make sure they stay safe."

Professor Dumbledore nodded, but then he said, "It takes tremendous courage to change the future, and I'm proud of you, Harry. But have you ever wondered what would happen to Longbottom when Potter Manor was intact?" What do you do? When you are safe and sound, what kind of bad luck will Neville face? You know the pain of losing your parents, but what about Neville, won't he suffer?"

The old man who was over a hundred years old stared at Harry, his eyes had never been so sharp, even through glasses, he couldn't block the cruelty, "Even so, do you want to change the future?"

Harry fell silent, the office was silent except for the small sounds of the instruments.

It is now 1978, February 2, at 28:11 am.Just two days ago, Fili was killed.

In less than four and a half months, Doria and Charles would be dead, gone forever.

In 1979, there will be a young man who will use his life to defend dignity and justice.

In 1981, James and Lily would die at the hands of Voldemort. In the same year, Sirius was imprisoned unjustly, and he faced 13 years of prison life.

In 1982, Neville's parents were tortured by the Unforgivable Curse until they lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep forever, never wanting to wake up again.

"Then kill him—before this happens—destroy him."

~~~~~~~~~

Harry left school, and left without a sound, with James.

They returned to Godric's Hollow, reached an agreement with their parents, and Harry Potter became the secret keeper, completely hiding the Potter Manor.For this reason, Harry swore more than once before finally convincing them, but Charles still thought that Harry was making a fuss out of a molehill.

Thanks to the convenient transportation in the magic world, no one would deliberately remember the house number.Coupled with the cover of the Secrecy Charm, at least Harry can be sure that Doria and Charles are safe in the short term.

A week later, James returned to Hogwarts to continue his studies, and Harry, he planned to take the exam when he graduated, or receive a diploma.Everyone's all-important Wizarding Level exam is less attractive than a box of ice cream in the eyes of Harry Potter.

He didn't plan to go back to school to resume classes, but he didn't stay home either.He secretly joined the Order of the Phoenix, made a secret pact with the Marauders that they would not reveal his whereabouts to Doria and Charles, and pretended that Harry was still at school.James and Sirius yearned for this very much, imagining one after another thrilling battles between good and evil.Among them, Harry undoubtedly became an invincible hero in the world, and he clamored to join the Order of the Phoenix and show off his ambitions.

At this time, the Order of the Phoenix had only a rudimentary form. Besides Professor Dumbledore, the main creative members were only professors Minerva McGonagall and several officials from the Ministry of Magic.

In order to eradicate the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters as soon as possible, Harry had to undergo special training to achieve the best state of body and spirit in the shortest possible time.

Perhaps Gryffindor and Slytherin were meant to be enemies, and Potter and Snape would never be friends.

Gryffindors and Slytherins had been enemies since the day they had learned of Fili's death.The whole of Hogwarts was tense, and Slytherin was isolated by the three houses, but no one dared to provoke the evil and vicious Slytherin, for fear that they would be the next to suffer.The students secretly guessed that the murderer who killed Fili was a Slytherin student.

As for Snape, he was still working hard for his glory, he was preparing for this year's pharmacist intermediate qualification examination, he was still in Slytherin, and he still had correspondence with Lucius Malfoy.

Harry's sudden departure, the attitude of the plundering team, and the isolation of Slytherin made him more aware that he was not the same as them.

But maybe they could all be friends.When walking down the street, you can nod to each other as a good friend.

But he was wrong, they chose different paths, but how could the destination be the same?

The Raiders chose justice and friendship.

As for Snape, he had no choice but to choose glory and power.

Like Lucius Malfoy said, sometimes you have to choose.

During the Christmas vacation a few months ago, Snape visited Lucius. The young Malfoy was not so calm yet, his expression seemed to know everything, with immature maturity, he tried his best to show his Shrewd eyes and over-the-top realism.

Lucius leaned against the wine cabinet, raised his glass to Snape, and smiled arrogantly, "Malfoy is nothing without wealth." He curled his lips mockingly, "Maybe it's just like what they say I mean, I'm just a young master who only knows how to squander and do nothing. Who knows."

Snape sat in Malfoy's study, drinking the wine in his hand, listening quietly.In front of Lucius Malfoy, he always listened more than he talked, and was always a little reserved.

"My dear friend," Lucius said without any expression on his face, his gray eyes were piercing, "Potter can give you friendship and happiness, but not glory and wealth. You can't be shaken unless you are willing." Being mediocre is willing to be driven by mediocrity, willing to be inferior to Potter, and is said to be Master Potter's follower. Severus Snape, who gave up his career, is penniless, just like me, without his superior status, Malfoy Nothing."

Lucius' light-colored eyes seemed to be burning with flames, "What I want is not just wealth, what I want is that one day Malfoy will be as bright as the sun and the moon, as eternal as the stars. And I——is pushing Malfoy to The one who made it to the top."

"One day." Snape raised his glass.

Lucius Malfoy showed a determined smile, "No, it must."

Malfoy was eloquent, confident and ambitious.As for Snape, he was taciturn and speechless.

Harry Potter left school without knowing why.He came and went as he called, maybe it was really like what Lucius said, in Potter's eyes Snape had no weight at all, he was just a poor wretch.However, he was not Severus Snape!

The careerists of Slytherin decided to allegiance to the Dark Lord, so as to show their talents.

The looters of Gryffindor have also made up their minds to become Aurors and uphold justice.

A group of passionate young people are striding forward for the goal in their hearts.But the road forks, one left and one right, and the south and the north are diametrically opposed.
