happy life?strange

When the sun rose again like thousands of years ago, Severus had already cleared up his mood. Some things and things, once passed, can never come back, like running water like quicksand, the more you want to keep it, it will only disappear more Hurry up, no matter how heart-piercing memories and remembering will only bring more unspeakable heartaches, so no matter how much you sigh and regret in vain, it will only increase unnecessary troubles.However, he pursed his lips tightly. The death of Aunt Thompson still left an irreparable regret in his heart, a never-healing wound on his heart that he would never forget for the rest of his life, a wound that would never be healed. Whispers that forever condemned his conscience.

I used to think that no matter how far I went, there would always be someone waiting there with a smile;But in the end, all the water is flowing, and the falling flowers will not stay.

Wipe off the tears that belonged to last night, dry the messy face before dawn, re-arm the unshielded heart that was opened at night with a strong shell, and take off the dirty pajamas that were crumpled and crumpled because of a night of curling up.He told himself that he was Severus Snape, not the desperate and helpless soul from another world who secretly cried and wanted to go home last night, even for the original owner of this body, he had the obligation to take care of himself To live on, even if one day the real soul comes to ask for his own body.

In the early morning of the next day, wrapped in the same simple and sea-smelling summer atmosphere as before, Severus silently washed and wiped all the items loaded with Vidi's memories carefully, his eyes Concentration, the hand is so gentle that it seems to be the hand of a parent who caressed a sleeping baby. He slowly arranged all the visible and takeable things one by one, and then, as if holding a difficult memory, put it in After entering the simple blue room upstairs that had been prepared for Vidi, he leaned the naive teddy bear on the soft white pillow, carefully folded the thin blankets for summer, and put all the The clothes were all sorted and stacked into the closet, the windows were closed, and the curtains were drawn. The room was full of light like a fish tank.Outside the window, the wind was light and the clouds were light, and a few wisps of white clouds lay lazily like torn flakes.

Putting all the memories into this room belonging to another person as much as possible, all the decorations frozen the feelings and life at this moment, Severus closed the door at the slowest speed and locked it.Since it shouldn't exist in the first place, let him also completely abandon it. The long river of time can erase all memories and feelings.All the memories that should not be there, all the dripping pain that should be discarded, are quietly left in this room.When the years pass silently, this room will reappear all the breath and taste of the present like amber.

Standing at the door, Severus looked down at the copper key in his hand, he still had a little hesitation and some kind of expectation that he knew was impossible. He knew that it was impossible for Viddy who once belonged to him to come back, even if No matter how painful he is, life still needs to go on.He still has a long life. On the journey, people come and go, no matter how much he believes that one person wants to go on hand in hand, it may be another person who will accompany him in the end.Viddy wasn't even a temporary passer-by in his life, because there was no such thing as Vidy in the world, and the few years of Severus' life were just a self-defeating joke.

If you should let go, let it go completely, there is no need to continue to torture yourself for someone you don't know, Severus thought, closed his eyes, smiled and threw the key into the trash can, at that moment, in his heart It was extremely painful as if a piece had been torn off.Only when the pain is extreme can there be real forgetting.The key has been thrown away, so that even if I regret it, I can no longer open the door that closed the memory.

After that, he carefully cleaned the whole house, cleaned every corner, and made his own breakfast as before. When he saw that unconsciously made two more portions, he silently poured the rest of the breakfast into the sink.After breakfast, he sat down to write a letter, to Mrs. Thompson's brother, as he thought about it.Some things, although they can no longer be repaired, are like a broken vase, no matter how it is repaired, it will leave scratches like scars, but if it is not repaired, only fragments will remain on the ground.

After writing the letter, Severus braved the scorching afternoon sun to post the letter, and at the same time made a long, long phone call that spanned the scorching afternoon sun.

Everything in life seemed to be on track again except that there was no longer a child in the house waiting for him to come home, and Severus spent the afternoon shopping for new textbooks for the regular school, while he was still going to school early on weekends. Going to church, helping Father Cliff prepare the things needed for the service, during this holiday, he also does odd jobs from time to time, and goes out to make phone calls from time to time. Except for the lack of people, everything seems to be the same.

In his spare time, he completely immersed himself in the vast ocean of learning, books in the magic world, textbooks in ordinary middle schools, he greedily absorbed all the knowledge like an insatiable person, every day, he studied until his eyes became watery The mind has no room for other thoughts.Even the memories of Vidi, who was in pain at first, were squeezed into an inconspicuous corner by the super-intensive study deliberately arranged by Severus.

During the holidays, Hogwarts' owl sent a list of textbooks and supplies needed for the new semester. This time, Severus could stop buying second-hand goods. He had just visited Gringotts not long ago. I have to admit that the arrogant Mr. Zabini is still a very generous and even a little prodigal nobleman. The bright golden Galleons piled up all over the room up to the ceiling made his eyes open a little. No, even if he doesn't understand the exchange mechanism in the magic world, he still knows that the coins in this room are definitely enough for him to live well for several lifetimes.Moreover, the strange-looking goblin in Gringotts became more polite and bent deeper when he got his key, all of which showed that this room had a certain status in the magic bank.

Originally, Severus wanted to go to Diagon Alley to buy all the necessary supplies at any time alone, but unfortunately, not long after he resumed the habit of going to church, he met an old acquaintance - Lily Evans.

After Lily entered Hogwarts, she thought that she was already a wizard and there was no need to go to church. She now believed in Merlin instead of God.However, although her parents still love and dote on her so much, her elder sister Penny is even more indifferent and ignoring her after seeing her not praying before meals and not praying on weekends.Lily felt aggrieved. As a courageous and honest wizard, she should follow the wizard's belief instead of forcing herself to believe in God.

One day, Lily was still preparing her courage to find a certain boy in Spider's End Alley. Although Vidi's shadow didn't disappear, it became bigger and bigger. Sometimes, Lily would have nightmares about that little boy at night. Holding the wand at her, the boy whispered a spell, and a green light flashed.Every time Lily woke up from the bed covered in cold sweat, the night was dark, just like the boy's black and gloomy eyes.

"Petunia, did you see Snape today? I still like him very much. It is said that their school just ended." Mrs. Evans said affectionately to Petunia while taking off her coat.

"Snape, although he is small, he is still very polite. It seems that other people in the church like him very much, Mom, why haven't I seen him before?" Petunia replied with a shy smile.

"You also know that he is an orphan and has to raise a younger brother, so he is usually very busy working part-time. Such a child, Petunia, do you want to be friends with him?" Mrs. Evans joked that she was always serious eldest daughter.

"Mom..." Petunia was a little bit reluctant.

"Mom, is the Snape you're talking about Severus Snape? He's going to church now?" Lily, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, jumped up and shook her mother's hand coquettishly. As he spoke, he pushed Penny out of the conversation.Petunia shook her head angrily, but didn't say much.

"Lily, do you know Snape too? Well, he goes to church every weekend now and helps Father Cliff with work. What a good boy."

"Mom~, I'm going to worship this weekend too." Lily smiled very cutely.

"Lily, didn't you say you won't go anymore?" Mrs. Evans felt a little strange.

"Mom~, I want to go, can't I?" Lily deliberately pretended to be angry, and Mrs. Evans immediately agreed.Penny snorted coldly beside her.

So, in the church, Lily chatted with Severus naturally, and successfully invited Severus to go to Diagon Alley with her with the help of her parents.Afterwards, after accidentally learning that Viddy had been found by relatives and left, Lily ran to Spider's End again and again, although Severus often went to work or to avoid Lily's disturbance. Study in the nearby library, but she will always meet her two or three times.Lily always had a bright smile and was as energetic as a newborn fawn. Severus, who had no other friends around him, unknowingly regarded Lily as a very distant sister No matter what, Severus will never forget those Gryffindors who were by Lily's side. Even if his relationship with Lily improved during the holidays, he doesn't want to wait until the beginning of school to provoke someone because of Lily. Those arrogant noble students.

At this time, Severus suddenly realized that during the years of ordinary people's life, he completely focused his life and sustenance on Vidy, like a butterfly surrounding a flower, every moment All my thoughts revolved around Viddy.Now, he doesn't even have a single friend by his side.

"Severus, how do you see this topic? I don't even know how to do it."

"Well, you want to write like this, right, and then you can read the potion book, let me read it? Your writing is very good, Lily." After being praised, Lily covered her cute face with her hands, and her face turned red with a smile up.

"Severus"

"Ok?"

"Going to Hogwarts this time, let my father take us there..."

"This... I'll think about it." Severus really really didn't want to appear in front of certain people with Lily.

On the day the vacation ended, a thick letter was mailed, and Severus still found an excuse to get on the train by himself with a suitcase that was much smaller than last semester, got into the empty compartment, He just picked up the book and flipped through it. The study habits during the vacation made him plunge into the fascinating world of books without paying attention to his surroundings. He didn't realize that no one else entered this box until the train arrived at the station. It seemed, this box It exists in a four-dimensional space independent of the Hogwarts train.
