[HP] Illusion

In fact, it's not that Sirius doesn't trust his good brother, but that he can't accept this fact, so the person who goes undercover in Slytherin next time becomes Sirius, and the target of Padfoot naturally becomes his. dear brother.

Just kidding, the soul is not fun, Sirius likes to do some small research and inventions, and is even willing to learn Animagus, but regarding the soul, he thinks he is good, and there is no need to sacrifice himself to study these messy things, He still holds the same view. His younger brother is only under 15 years old, so there is no reason to study such profound knowledge.

But when he really found out that his younger brother was holding a book called "Theoretical Research on the History of Potions" to deceive others, but he was actually studying the chapter about the soul carefully, he really felt a little bit annoyed.In fact, most people were interested in the "History of Potions" that Regulus held, so so far, no Slytherin had discovered his unscrupulous research.

Of course, Sirius is not completely brainless, and he didn't directly attack his brother in Slytherin, exposing himself to the eyes.

But even when he got back to the dormitory, he couldn't think of a way to correct his brother's thinking. Is he going to tell him that I sneaked into the Slytherin common room and found you working on some damn things?First of all it's damned indefensible, and what's more, his brother usually just likes to contradict him.

Regulus didn't seem to be too smart, and he had been overwhelmed by him since he was a child, but Regulus had never been a person who liked to be jealous. Obviously, he preferred the way of adoring his brother to being jealous. To express the feelings between brothers, but since he entered Gryffindor and was determined to rather die than surrender, all the hopes of the Black family have been placed on him, and the originally harmonious brotherhood has gradually evolved into what it is today.

Their positions had long been different, but that didn't mean he was willing to watch his brother die without stopping him.

"Why does he study the soul?" Sirius and James were the only two people in the bedroom at this time. Sirius almost growled and said to James, "Don't he understand how dangerous it is? Obsessed with it will only harm him Own."

"For me, this matter may not be as simple as we imagined." James touched his chin. He has grown a lot of beard recently, and he has to shave it off every morning to prevent it from being prickly. Fortunately, his beard is not like his It's the same as my hair, no matter how I cut it, it will return to its original shape, and I can't change it in a natural way. "You know, Slytherin is weird recently."

"What do you mean?" Sirius blushed with anger, his usually flexible brain was useless now.

"I don't think he suddenly became interested in this matter." James looked in the mirror with satisfaction, "In the courses we have learned, there are no courses about the soul. You said that a person has to suddenly The odds of studying the soul in a whimsical way are not high."

"You mean someone guides you?" Sirius frowned, and began to think along James' words.

"I'm just saying that there is a possibility that at home, or somewhere else, he met someone who made him suddenly interested in this," James tried to guide Sirius, "Did you ever feel that there was something wrong with him? It was last year's Christmas holiday, didn't you go home?"

"How do I know—" Sirius said angrily.

"Isn't he your brother?"

Sirius glared at James. James was an only child, and he really couldn't understand Sirius at this point, but Sirius was burning with anger now, and he had better stop fanning the flames.

James raised his hands in the air and waved them twice, trying to make Sirius calm down: "Generally speaking, research has a certain purpose, otherwise such research is meaningless."

"I don't believe it, what does he want to use his soul to do?" Sirius said through gritted teeth,

"Calm down, buddy, I didn't say that," James really didn't think that Sirius' reaction would be bigger than expected, he thought he would just care a little bit, and finally simply said "fuck him" or something, "I mean, maybe the person who got him interested in this wanted to do something to the soul... By the way, can't you really remember if he has any abnormal conditions?"

Sirius' facial expression was distorted for a while, and finally he nodded reluctantly, "Even at home, we don't know how to talk, and we only treat each other as air..." So he couldn't feel each other at all. abnormal.

"Then maybe it's not from your family..." James nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly thought of one, "He seems to be very close to Prince, right?"

"It's him again?" Sirius felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the name, "Why is it him again?"

James felt that he could hardly communicate with Sirius. As soon as this person's brain became hot, his IQ would become a negative number. He was completely unsuitable for discussion. He would blow up at one point. Obviously he didn't mean that, but this person could immediately magnify the problem.

"Maybe it's the mysterious man behind the scenes again." James said angrily.

Sirius' eyes widened.

"It's not impossible."

"The mysterious man wants to avoid Prince. Prince is very close to my brother. My brother is studying souls..." Sirius murmured.

James: "..."

Why does it sound like the three are not compatible, but there is a strange sense of connection, such a tall thing like the soul is obviously not something ordinary people like him dare to touch, so what if it is a mysterious person?

But in this way, is Prince also studying the soul?

To be honest, the trend of this matter is getting more and more weird, and the situation is beyond their control

James actually wanted to report this matter to Dumbledore, but Sirius didn't seem to want to do so. Now all their reasoning is based on guesswork. In the absence of more evidence, even if he told Dumbledore , Dumbledore may not believe them.

"Will Regulus be home this Easter?" James asked after a moment's thought.

"You want me to go back too?" They didn't have this plan at first, but if necessary, they can change the plan temporarily.

"Then you go back." James waved his hand, "Maybe I can lend you the Invisibility Cloak, and you try not to arouse his suspicion."

"Things are getting more and more complicated," Sirius exhaled. "You-Know-Who, Prince, Snotlite, Regulus, and the Unicorn? Why do I always feel like we're thinking too much."

James: "..."

"However, although it sounds unbelievable, we can't let go of any possibility." Sirius squinted at James who was arranging his clothes and looked ready to go out, "You dated Lily?

"Well," James nodded, "She has to go home for Easter. I stay at Hogwarts, and we won't see each other for a long time... Do you think I can go home with her?"

Sirius almost rolled his eyes. At this time, this person still thinks about such unreliable things. Has his IQ been eaten by dogs?

"You're going on a date with her today, so I have to remind you of one thing." Sirius said, "She used to have a very good relationship with the snot-nosed man. Although it seems that the line has been drawn recently, the two are in They knew each other before entering Hogwarts, so the bond between the two of them may be deeper than we imagined."

"That's all you want to talk about?" Although he didn't dare to say that he had a comprehensive understanding of Lily, recently Lily really didn't pay any attention to Snape.

"I just want to remind you that the snot has been getting very close to Avery and the others recently. You tell her to be careful not to hook up with the snot again."

James punched Sirius casually: "Can you speak better?"

"I just kindly remind you..."

James shook his head, reconfirmed that his clothes were fine, then turned around and waved his hands, "Thanks, buddy, but I won't let such an unpleasant incident ruin my date with Lily."

But the problem is that it's not that James wants to, so he won't be affected by the other party.

No, before they left the castle, they saw little Snape walking with Avery and Murseb in an aisle. Little Snape's face was still serious, while the other two obviously looked at him. Woke up laughing happily.

They saw each other, and the other party naturally saw them too. Snape glanced at them and turned his eyes away naturally. On the contrary, Avery and Murseb really seemed to want to provoke, but they also I've heard of Potter's combat value and Evans' strength. Even if they have Snape on their side, the third team and the second may not be able to take advantage of it. Besides, Snape obviously has no interest in this matter. , so the two of them had no choice but to give up this idea in despair.

Everyone's river water does not violate the well water, anyway, there are opportunities.

As soon as the three of them left the line of sight, Lily's sullen face became even more ugly. James knew what she was thinking, but he didn't know how to speak. If Lily thought he was sowing discord, wouldn't it be a bad idea? rice?

"Don't pay attention to them, they only dare to bully others when there are a lot of people," James finally choked out a sentence and opened up the conversation.

"For a while, I thought I misunderstood him again." Lily's voice was heavy, and it was self-evident who the "he" in her words was worth. "Maybe it's the same this time."

"Misunderstanding?" James caught a word.

"The boy I know has never bothered to do bullying." Lily sighed, "It's like this every time..."

"You sound like you're convincing yourself.

Lily looked at James with those emerald green eyes. Perhaps she was indeed like this. The other party was in Slytherin, and such an environment itself was easily polluted. She couldn't guarantee that little Snape would not be tempted, but She is still willing to believe that boys have their own principles.

It's just that she didn't know that she had seen Snape with Mursabeau and Avery once. How notorious these two were in Gryffindor, Snape must have known it too. From the looks of it, Snape Jr. and Avery looked very familiar, otherwise Snape wouldn't have walked with those two given his personality.

☆☆☆

Compared with Hogwarts, which is becoming more and more calm, or the undercurrents are becoming more and more obvious, the outside world is still full of storms. Every day, there are a large number of letters urging the resignation of the "incompetent" Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. In the war of public opinion, neither the Ministry of Magic nor Hogwarts will be spared.

Accompanied by this turbulent sea, there are still many people looking forward to the Easter holiday, but it is also because of the arrival of the Easter holiday that the future direction of this matter has added various uncertainties.

It stands to reason that many people are willing to go out during the Easter holiday. Such voices may disappear as these people go out. The arrival of the holiday also means that everyone has free voices. Bloggers' attention-grabbing remarks once again appeared, making people focus on this, so the discussion on this matter will probably be more intense than it is now.

However, neither the turbulent waves outside nor the temporary tranquility in the center of the typhoon can actually affect Harry very much. With Dumbledore on top, he can do whatever he wants, and the students have gotten used to it anyway. The way he teaches, there are no "brainless ANTI fans" who want to throw rotten eggs at him.

Harry had decided to teach at Hogwarts for one year, and he really shouldn't think too much about it. It is a tradition that the professorship of Defense Against the Dark Arts changes every year. At the end of the semester, he has a great chance. would resign, especially after making such a plan.

Now his minimum requirement is to finish teaching this school year and personally send the current students to enter OWLs and NEWTs. This is considered complete and there is no regret.

The fact that he had the chance to meet his parents, his godfather, and... young Snape for the biggest moment in their lives, he felt was worth the price of admission to be here.

In fact, Harry’s life has been very painful recently, especially when little Snape started to find out that someone was following him one day, and after he no longer lived with him, getting up every day was a battle, which was much more painful than before. ten times.

Sure enough, people should not be too easy to become dependent. After the boy disappeared, Harry felt that his whole body was going to be bad.

But fortunately, the boy's medicine is obviously more powerful than he imagined. Recently, he feels that his body is better than before, at least in terms of drowsiness, it seems that it is not as serious as before. Maybe little Snape's potions , can really make his body better.

Snape didn't come here very often recently, and every time he came, he was asked to drink this medicine, and he didn't stay for a long time, so he didn't know what he was worried about.

They were going back to Cokeworth tomorrow, and Harry thought little Snape wouldn't show up today, but unexpectedly the boy would come around the time of curfew and bring the potion.

"Can't you drink it tomorrow?" Having said that, Harry drank the medicine that Snape gave him in one gulp, and licked his lips by the way.

As a result, as soon as he finished this action, he felt a strange gaze, "Why are you looking at me like that?" Harry asked inexplicably.

Little Snape turned his eyes away very naturally, "What are your plans when you go back tomorrow?"

Harry raised his eyebrows, "Probably go buy a camera first? Isn't that what you want?"

"Sell the potion by the way?" Little Snape asked.

"Yeah." Harry clicked on the map as a matter of course, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you a share of the money."

Little Snape: "..."

"I was just kidding." Harry laughed to himself, but seeing Snape's speechless face, he suddenly felt that it wasn't so funny.

—It feels bad to be silently mocked.

"Where do you want to take pictures?" Harry felt that if he promised Snape, he should do it, and he also hoped to keep these pictures, so that no matter where he went, he could take this as evidence instead of his own fantasy.

"Let's talk about it after we buy the camera." Little Snape had a plan in his mind, but it's hard to say now, anyway, the vacation is not too short, they can think about it slowly, they can review or make potions in other time.

"You want one, and I want one too," Harry scratched his hair casually, "You go with me, and I go with you, isn't that a good plan?"

Little Snape nodded with a slumped face.

Little Snape stared at Harry, and asked abruptly, "Are you going to resign?"

"Huh?" Harry blinked, "You want me to resign?"

Little Snape: "..." He didn't say that.

Seeing the boy's lips gradually pursed into a line, Harry spread his hands, "The position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is originally changed every year. If possible, of course I want to stay," he did. Thinking about it, but this "if" is too difficult for him, "After all, the environment here is much simpler outside, and there is more happiness here."

"But you can't implicate Dumbledore?"

"Ah, how did you know I wanted to say that?" Harry said in mock surprise.

Telling nonsense with your eyes open, who wouldn't?Little Snape twitched his lips.

"The matter was not as serious as imagined, and the recent rumors in the school seem to be that someone is playing tricks." Little Snape said, "I heard two Slytherins say that."

"Slytherin?" Harry asked in surprise.

This is the academy where he supports him, and there are still people who are taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble behind the scenes, but this is indeed the rhythm he wants, "It's okay, let them go, anyway, the worst result is just to resign. I'm mentally prepared. The principal has already received too much criticism and attacks for me, if other people don't understand and accept this matter, then obviously resigning is the best way."

With a cold face, Snape asked dryly, "You've wanted to do this from the very beginning, right? I mean, resign."

"No," said Harry again, "I like teaching at Hogwarts, it's my favorite thing to do."

Having been with this person for so long, little Snape could tell whether this person was telling the truth or not.

This sentence, he said the truth.Little Snape could tell that this man really liked teaching.From the fact that he had devoted himself to teaching him and Lily when they were children, this man did have a passion for education.

——But what is this man planning?What has he been through before?And that experience was painful for him.So he'd rather give up what he loves to do the most and do something he doesn't?

Is it planning revenge?Snape half-closed his eyes.

To whom?Could it be the mysterious person?But... why does this person want to do this.

One day he will find out.

The youth has been trying to get close to Slytherin, so maybe he can also find the answer in Slytherin.

Little Snape has indeed started to act. Murseb and Avery are indeed good targets. They are not smart, but the family behind them is very powerful. There is no one better than these two people. up.

☆☆☆

The arrival of the Easter holiday has made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. These days, apart from the pressure of the external environment, the pressure of learning... all kinds of pressure are overwhelmingly pressing on the fifth and seventh graders. The closer to the end of the semester, the sooner their death will come.

——But, this is youth!

But they can only take a break during this holiday. Once this holiday is over, the fifth and seventh grade students must enter the more severe review battle.

Sure enough, Harry bought the camera back as he said, but it was not enough to just buy it back, he had to learn how to use it, otherwise even if he bought it back, it would be useless.

Little Snape also didn't know anything, but it's better if two people study together than alone.Harry bought the simplest style, and the cameras of this era were not much behind the ones he was familiar with, anyway, the principles seemed to be similar.Harry also specially bought a camera stand, so that he can take a group photo of the two when no one is around.

After figuring out the function of the camera, a practical problem was put in front of the two of them.

"Have you thought about a good place?" Little Snape didn't say it last time. Now that the camera is bought this time, it's time to say it, right?

"Why don't you go home now?" Little Snape suggested.

"Is this where you want it?" Harry asked in surprise.

"This doesn't count."

"Ok."
