[HP] Illusion

`P`*WXC`P``P`*WXC`P`When Harry woke up again, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning the next day. Fortunately, it was the weekend, and Hermione had something to go to the Ministry of Magic, and Because Ron was worried that Harry had been staying at home, Harry didn't move at all when he woke up in the morning. The young couple studied Harry's sleeping state for about half an hour with fear, and finally had to be thrown away by Harry. A detection spell, when he gets up and moves, Ron can sense it immediately.

As a result, Harry habitually stayed in bed.

When Ron came in, although his body moved a little bit, he still didn't open his eyes. The typical symptom of waking up is that he doesn't want to get up and try to go back to sleep.

Ron put his hand on his arm, pushed it and pushed it, and said loudly, "Harry, it's on fire!!!"

Harry: "..."

"Hurry up and put out the fire!"

For a moment, Harry really wanted to kill someone.

—that's a stupid excuse.

"When it's on fire, don't you rush to put out the fire, are you waiting for the fire to burn down your house? Are you still a wizard?" Harry slowly opened his eyes, probably because he was still a little concerned about getting angry recently, his eyes It was stuck, he rubbed it carefully, and then sat up.

Ron: "Merlin, you're finally up, do you know how many hours you slept?"

Harry looked at his watch pretendingly, "Well, a dozen or so is not much."

Ron: "..."

"Just kidding," Harry waved his hand in front of Ron's stunned face, "how can you stay in a good mood if you're not kidding."

"Merlin, Hermione and I are almost scared to death by you." Ron sat down on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand and gave half a punch to the collarbone that came back, "how many hours have passed since last night? That's too much? Yesterday you fell asleep suddenly, and Hermione told me that when you fell asleep, I thought she was just kidding," the Auror team leader was still very excited.

"Didn't you guys try to call me this morning?" Harry hugged the quilt and scratched his uncomfortably pressed hair on the back of his head. He pretended to be confused and said, "I fell asleep all of a sudden yesterday? Okay?" , there is really such a thing..."

"Of course there is... I have never tried to wake someone up and almost killed half-life," Ron continued to talk about what he and Hermione did last night, what new attempts he made this morning, and finally Losing to Harry's sleeping skills, we can only let him continue to sleep, "

Harry yawned enormously, but little Snape could always wake him up.

"You didn't call me seriously, did you?" Harry spread his hands,

Ron was so choked that he couldn't begin to speak. He tried all kinds of methods, but he was almost at the end of his attempts. How could this person still say that he was not serious? !

Looking at Harry's normal appearance, Ron couldn't help but worry and said, "Have you been sleeping like this? How long have you been sleeping the longest? What if you can't sleep anymore, bah bah bah——"

"Didn't I wake up?" Harry blinked. "Don't curse me."

Ron apologized hastily. He was really worried yesterday. If it wasn't for the fact that Harry was still breathing... probably he would think that this person has...

"I'm hungry." Harry jumped off the bed neatly, "I remember I didn't seem to have dinner yesterday?"

Ron was still babbling in his ear while he was brushing his teeth.

"Well, you've seen it too," Harry said with his toothbrush in his mouth, and the foam was smeared around the corners of his mouth, which looked like a small half circle of white beard, "I'm afraid I'll give the students a beard." I would fall asleep during class, so I resigned."

Ron thought for a while: "Has this been the case a year ago?"

"Don't worry, I can eat and sleep... well, I can sleep too much." Harry spit out the instant noodles in his mouth, quickly cleared his mouth with water, and murmured, "Instead of following behind my ass Watch me brush my teeth and wash my face, why don't you get me something to eat... If you haven't eaten yet, then wait until I get you some, I'm better at this than you—"

Ron: "..."

"You should have told us earlier." Ron frowned tightly. "We said before that we can face anything together."

——Some things are impossible.

They are getting older and have more and more things, and they are no longer like when they were in school, they can be very chic, they can pretend to be carefree, and only move forward for the highest goal.

Now they are still struggling, but the goals they are striving for are not the same.

His was a dream, but Ron and Hermione's were unrealistic things.

Harry apologized repeatedly when he left Ron's house, and Ron gave him Hermione's handwritten cheesecake recipe. "We can figure it out together."

"Okay." Harry nodded, his expression didn't look like...that kind of...

It seemed natural, but something was missing.Ron suddenly had a bad feeling, but felt that he was thinking too much.

After Harry returned to Black's old house, he wrote a letter to Ron and Hermione himself, then took it to the Owl Post Office, ordered the regular delivery service, and bought a lot of things to put in his space pocket.

When everything was ready, he returned to Black's old house, ready to enter that world again.

The time he stayed in this world was longer than he expected. Although the time there could wait for him, he couldn't wait for it.

But before that, he had to correct all the memories, and he had to pick up and put back the memories that had been put in the Pensieve before. The memory seemed to be broken. Although he knew which part of the memory it was, it was really When I tried to recall the details, I found that I couldn't remember them at all.

Harry first pulled out his modified memories and adjusted them one by one, then stuffed them back in, but when he searched for his own memories in the Pensieve, he found that he couldn't find them.

A drop of cold sweat suddenly ran down his back, and Harry shivered inexplicably.

There weren't many memories in the Pensieve, but there was white smoke coming out of the Pensieve, probably because of this, he couldn't find it carefully, so Harry moved his eyes to the Pensieve and looked carefully.

Harry put his hand in and stirred, and the next second he realized he had made a serious mistake, as he found himself planted upside down into the Pensieve, headfirst into a dark In the cold liquid.

Harry: "..."

——He hasn't changed his clothes yet!

——Here is summer and he is still wearing short-sleeved shorts!

Harry was extremely embarrassed when he landed on the floor, but fortunately, the temperature around him was not particularly low, and there was no ice and snow as imagined. There was no one around, and it seemed that only the aftershocks from his free fall hit the floor.

Not knowing exactly where he was, Harry got up quickly, only to realize that he should be in a corridor in Hogwarts Castle. Probably because it was Christmas, there were red and red decorations everywhere in the corridor. Green looks like a Christmas decoration, but there is no one in this corridor.

But this does not mean that he can relax, Harry quickly entered a classroom, and then quickly applied several heat-retaining spells to himself, and took out a piece of clothes for four seasons that he must have all year round in the interspatial bag I added one piece to myself, and soon wrapped myself into a slightly fat bucket.

Only then did he quickly take out the Marauder's Map and confirm the current time.

It was 10:30 in the morning, and after Harry set his watch back to the time of this world, he carefully studied the Marauder's Map.At this time, there were very few footprints active on the Marauder's Map. Harry carefully looked at the parts with footprints, and roughly compared them. In fact, all the footprints could be matched with the retention list that he had paid special attention to before. , he took another look at the headmaster's office, and found that Dumbledore was not in it.

No one else was there, including his father and godfather Lu Ping, and Lily followed them back to Cokeworth, which is also true.

Only then did Harry breathe a sigh of relief.Sure enough, he returned to the original time and space.

"You are indeed here." The ghost suddenly appeared from behind, and Harry was taken aback, unprepared.

"Helena," Harry said with lingering fear, "even though you are a ghost, you can't be so scary."

What's the logic, Helena looked at Harry with contempt.

"Is this your real face?" Helena carefully looked at the "plain-faced" Harry.

It was only then that Harry realized that he hadn't made a good disguise at all, and began to frantically add a transformation spell to himself, and a lifetime spell to the right.

"I think you look familiar." Helena said solemnly. "I seem to have seen it somewhere."

Harry didn't have time to pay attention to her, and only listened to her talking to herself. After he finally transformed the appearance of "Edward", he realized that he was completely unnecessary. He didn't plan to come back to Hogwarts for Christmas, nor did he He intends to appear in front of everyone, since the father who owns the invisibility cloak is not there, it is not a problem for him to slip away wearing the invisibility cloak.

Bai has been busy for so long.However, just be careful when sailing for ten thousand years.

"These are actually not problems," Helena's voice gradually became less ethereal, "Didn't I tell you not to come back again? Do you know—"

"Whether I know it or not, Helena," Harry's expression became serious, "I have to come back, I thought, you knew it before."

"You came here, are you ready? Everything is ready?" Helena seemed to be confirming.

"Of course," Harry said without thinking, his expression looked quite firm and would not change easily. "If you mean death."

He heard the sound of Helena's gasping, and somehow he thought it was quite funny, after all, a ghost can't breathe, "However, I won't die so easily."

Helena looked at Harry hesitantly.

"Now," Harry whispered, "can you tell me today's date, have I missed Christmas?"

Helena tried hard to think about it, but still couldn't remember it. For a ghost like her that has been wandering for more than 1000 years, dates and festivals are not in the scope of her attention. It's a Christmas dinner." In fact, she was more concerned about the lively Christmas dinner.

"Thank you," Harry originally thought about going back to the office to check the date, but now there is no need, such clues are enough, "Now I have to leave, thank you for believing in me and supporting me."

"I didn't—" Helena broke out, she had support there, she obviously—

Harry had already put on the Invisibility Cloak and turned transparent. The classroom door was opened and closed again, leaving only the ghost of Ravenclaw standing in place for a long time.

Coming out of the Screaming Shack, there is a heavy snowfall outside, which is smaller than the first snow of this winter, but the thick clouds in the sky look a little scary, just like the weather that day, the wind is getting stronger The bigger it gets, Harry predicts a new snowstorm is coming.

Harry obviously added a lot of clothes and several insulation charms to himself, but when he walked outside, he was still a little bit frozen by the ghostly weather. He rubbed his hands and shrank himself completely. Inside the mink cloak, the hood with a circle of white fluff was also tightly worn, and there was a layer of cotton wool inside, and he was wrapped in a woolen scarf... The whole person looked extremely weird.

He shook the snowflakes off his body, found an open corner, and tried to go home when the blizzard fell.

I have to say that Harry is really very wise. When he arrived in Cokeworth, the snow had already started to blur his vision. Harry was staggering in the snow, and he walked home from the yard by magic. the door.

When the door was opened, it was dark inside, and the curtains were tightly covered. Harry didn't hear any movement. It's noon now. Did little Snape go out?

The constant temperature spell in the room was in sharp contrast to the ice and snow outside. Harry quickly closed the door, and finally felt a little warmth. He took off all the clothes on his body, shook off the snow on them, and hung them on the On a hanger not far away.After returning home, he took off all the camouflage on his body.

"Sev?" Harry called out.

no respond.

If little Snape wasn't home... Harry headed down to the cellar.Could it be making potions?

There was still no one in the cellar. Harry looked at some potion ingredients he had made up before he left, and found that there were not any missing. This meant that little Snape probably hadn't made potions these days.

what happened?

Harry climbed to the first floor again, shouted a few more words, got out?He still went to Lily's house. If he went out... Where would he go in this weather? The latter is better, at least he doesn't have to worry.

Probably because in the past few years when he came back, the boy was always waiting for him in the house. This seems to have become a habit. Today, the boy is not here, which makes him feel flustered and afraid that something will happen.

Although he kept persuading himself not to panic and scare himself, Harry still had a bad premonition in his heart.

Just when he walked to the room on the first floor that used to be a guest room, but now it seems to be a bedroom for two people, he found a raised object in the sheets on the bed.

Harry stepped forward quickly, and opened it...

The boy gripped the quilt so tightly that Harry couldn't pull it off at all. The young man became anxious and knelt down on the bed and wrestled with the boy.

"Sev? Severus? Is it you? What's the matter?" Harry tugged on the quilt vigorously, but found that he didn't have much strength.

And then...Harry awakened his wizarding instincts—

"Fractured."

Little Snape: "..."

In the next second, the boy who was lying on his back grabbed a corner of the piece, which was still a large piece, and turned over on the bed, burying his entire face on the pillow.The room was a bit dim, and Harry couldn't see the boy's expression clearly, but the slightly heavy breathing gave him a familiar feeling.

That kind of breathless breath, a trace of sadness also overflowed.

"What's the matter?" Little Snape remained silent, and Harry became more and more anxious. He leaned into Little Snape's ear and said, "Tell me, what happened?"

Almost half of Harry's body was pressed against Snape's back, "Didn't I come back?"

Little Snape's body was motionless, and the ups and downs of his body were not too big, but every move seemed heavy as if there was something...

Realizing that he was overwhelming the boy, Harry moved away a bit, "Is something wrong? I'm here, so you just tell me..."

He had never seen little Snape with such an expression, even when he was awkward with him, angry, or even various roundabout temptations when he was young.

"No more..." The boy's voice was unbelievably hoarse, and he muttered to himself in a very low voice, which sounded like he was suppressing some great pain.

"What's gone?" Harry gasped when he heard that voice.

"There's nothing..." the boy said softly, it sounded like he was in a bad state of mind, not even conscious.

Harry was taken aback when suddenly he heard someone ringing the doorbell.

He glanced at little Snape who was still buried himself on the bed, and then quickly jumped out of bed.

"Harry—"

The door was opened, and a burst of biting cold air hit Harry, who was not dressed too much. Harry quickly pulled Lily into the house, closed the door, and then shivered fiercely.

"Merlin, I heard the commotion here, and you are indeed here." Lily said panting, "It's a good thing you're back, is Severus here, I haven't been able to find him for the past few days, the outside is about to blow There's a blizzard—"

"He's here," Harry said, glancing at the guest room, "but..."

"Do you know?" Lily looked at Harry anxiously, "Did he tell you..."

"what?"

Lily was panting heavily because of her anxiety, Harry patted her on the back to calm her down before continuing, but the red-haired girl couldn't wait any longer, "The Snapes, they are Severus' parents... ..."

In fact, Harry only heard the beginning, combined with the boy's reaction just now, he suddenly knew what happened.

"What's going on?" Harry carefully pulled Lily into the kitchen, and then activated the soundproof spell, "What happened to the Snapes?"

"Don't be so anxious." Lily finally calmed down, she wanted to say it, but Harry interrupted him again and again, "I don't know exactly what happened, we were fine the day we came back, but we On the second morning when we came back, a few police cars came from the Spider's End. In the afternoon, the bad news came from the Spider's End. Both of them died. At that time, Severus was with me. He ran away after that, and he was gone when I chased him out." Cokeworth is very young, so all news spread quickly, let alone one person died, this time he died once and a couple died The couple said, "But the exact cause of death was not announced by the police."

"He's actually here," Lily grabbed Harry's arm, "what should I do now? The police couldn't find Severus, and they were going door-to-door asking, if it wasn't for the coming blizzard, they are still going on Looking for it."

Lily actually didn't know the truth very well, and she spoke vaguely. Harry failed to understand the truth of the whole thing, but he knew that this incident was a heavy blow to Snape.

Although he didn't have a good relationship with the Snape couple, and they were his biological parents after all, even if he didn't have much relationship, he wouldn't be indifferent.

No wonder he said that there was nothing left.

"Many people suspect it was murder, because there are rumors that a person who looked like Severus had returned to Spider's End that night." Lily's voice was very low, and even with the sound-proof spell, she was afraid of stimulation "But that can't be true at all," Lily said anxiously, "I don't believe Severus would do such a thing..." She hastily stated.

"I also believe, don't worry, the truth will always come to light, hasn't the police announced it yet?" Harry comforted Lily, "The police are still looking for him? Maybe it's just because they want to inform him that his parents have... …”

"That's right," Lily said in a low voice, "but he has been hiding here and won't go out, and the rumors in the town are getting worse and worse..."

"Don't bring it up in front of him," it's an insult to the boy, "don't say anything about it."

Lily nodded solemnly.

"It's snowing outside," Harry put a layer of protection on the red-haired girl, "you go back first, he's a little unstable right now, he might not want to see people," the young man said with a deliberate tone, "I'll figure out the whole thing Don't come out again until the blizzard stops."

"Also, if the police still come, just say you don't know, and don't tell me about my presence." Harry carefully ordered.

In fact, he was really not worried that little Snape would murder the old Snape and his wife, but before things became clear, he would definitely save unnecessary trouble by doing so.
