[HP] Illusion

"James? He and Sirius are investigating Regulus?" What is this for, and the most important thing—"I can help you with this, or rather, this is a favor for ourselves, but I want to get to the bottom of it first, what have you guys been up to these days? Did you say that to me because of Harry?"

Little Snape was startled, and then his thin mouth gradually narrowed into a line, "From the beginning we were divided into two houses, Harry was away for a few years, maybe he didn't know what we went through, we The differences may not lie with us at the beginning, but from the two colleges, but we have been receiving completely different information in the past few years, and we have seen more real things, so our ideas are getting farther and farther. In fact, , I don’t think those words are wrong, although we grew up together, we have stood on both sides of a river, and there is no bridge between us.”

"There are many people with different ideas, different habits, and different interests, but they can get along very well..." Lily was still puzzled by this, "Harry is our bridge, you see, now he has let us get along again Unite together at once. You want to figure out what he's doing, and so do I." The girl's eyes are full of sincerity, in her eyes, you can never see darkness, only let people bathe in sunshine warmth.

"I don't know, it can't be forced," Little Snape kept making the worst assumptions, "Whether you admit it or not, from the beginning, you will not agree with my actions, maybe one day, you will Dispute again about my plans or what I'm going to do, some Slytherin stuff you might not approve of..."

"Enough, what Slytherin Gryffindor..."

"No, Lily, don't you still understand? It's not that you said that it has nothing to do with Slytherin and Gryffindor, and it really has nothing to do with it. Why are we separated? Because from the very beginning, we have the characteristics of this house. There is no way to change it at all. In fact, it is the same, every house has its own ethos, Gryffindor looks upright, and Slytherin is cunning and insidious, like two worlds."

"Are you trying to convince me to help you?" Lily suddenly laughed angrily, "No one would talk like that." This is totally unreasonable.

Little Snape closed his mouth, but the worry in his brow still did not dissipate.

Lily looked at the silent little Snape for a while, as if thinking of something, she said, "I see, you got close to those two Slytherins for Harry, right? Harry has been close to Slytherin this school year." , and now he even managed to get himself labeled as the Slytherin faction.” The more Lily thought about it, the more she was right, since last semester, Gryffindor had faint rumors that Prince favored Slytherin, and since After the practice assessment and the public opinion war started, Harry completely became a Slytherin, which made him very powerful, but Harry, who was criticized for this, made all the Gryffindors stay away from him , and it was the same with the little Snape before. It seems that the little Snape has been mixing with those people since the end of the assessment. "So, you too, you need to get on good terms with Slytherin so you can find out why Harry keeps letting himself be labeled 'Slytherin'"

"It's not like that." Little Snape denied it almost without hesitation, his face was paralyzed, and he really couldn't see any expression.

"You don't need to deny it, Severus," Lily has already confirmed this thought, "I know you always remember what Harry told us, I did misunderstand you before, but what you said to me later Those words are intended to mislead me and misunderstand you, aren’t they?”

Lily has always been a smart girl, but her level of intelligence is a little bit beyond Little Snape's imagination. I just want to give her a point, and she can connect the lines that can connect this point. Snape was surprised.

"Don't jump to conclusions so early, I still have that opinion," said Snape Jr. "I may do things that you would not agree with at all to achieve my purpose. This is Slytherin, and Gryffindor , will only follow the rules and move forward step by step.”

"It's good that I know you haven't changed." After thinking about all this, Lily's heart was completely relieved. Little Snape was still the same little Snape, and he put Harry first in everything, and Harry was also a very A good role model, this kind of Harry can make Snape go on the right path even in Slytherin.

Lily never doubted this.

"Let's make up, Severus."

Little Snape: "..."

"I'll ask James what he found." Lily promised, "If I find anything, I swear I will tell you without reservation."

It's exactly what we want, but the only problem now is: "You can't just ask that directly, we have to get the information that James has, but we can't let him know what we are looking for, because Harry doesn't want anyone else to know."

"This...may be a bit difficult." If she couldn't let James know what he was looking for, then maybe she wouldn't be able to get any information at all, and the matter involved Sirius' younger brother, and Sirius might not be happy that others knew about it Son, as she begged James not to tell anyone else about her owl's letter to Harry, "but I'll try."

"This matter must be kept secret," said little Snape worriedly. "Even if we need to check, if we destroy Harry's chance, it may make him lose all his previous efforts. He seems to have worked hard for almost a year. That's why I told you not to tell anyone about it, I don't trust those two Gryffindors."

Lily looked at little Snape's completely non-joking expression, nodded subconsciously, and made a zipper movement on her mouth.

"So, shall we make up?" Lily stretched out her hand first.

Little Snape hesitated for a while, then reached out and took Lily's hand.

☆☆☆

Almost at the same moment when Lily and Snape were "discussing" about reconciliation, Harry was also meeting with someone. In fact, he had been thinking about this issue since last night.

The target of James and Sirius was obviously Regulus, that's why they appeared in his office. After being caught by him, there was a meaning between the lines in their words. They hoped to find Regulus by themselves. What exactly is Lus studying, or, they have already learned that Regulus is studying the soul.

Yes, that makes sense.

In his last meeting with Regulus during the Easter break, Regulus once said that his brother has been pestering him recently, as if trying to dig something out of him, which has never happened before passed.

Although Sirius does not seem to have much affection for his younger brother on the surface, if a person who is related to him by blood is walking towards a road of no return, most of us will choose to stop before that, instead of Watching helplessly as he embarks on that dangerous journey.

In fact, neither Sirius nor James knew that it was he who made Regulus notice about the soul. They still thought that Regulus himself was curious, so they came to ask him, so in order to know Regulus What did Si want to study, so they boldly came to ask him.

If he didn't do what they wanted, they probably wouldn't let it go.

That's why Harry secretly found Regulus out that day.

This time Harry didn't use any tricks, and said straightforwardly: "Regulus, don't do any more research on the question you were interested in before, I don't want you to get deeper and deeper."

"What do you mean?" Regulus was startled, "I..."

"That's what it means, maybe I shouldn't have told you such a dangerous thing from the very beginning," Harry said with annoyance on his face, "If other people know about all this, then the direction of the matter is beyond my control."

"No, no, no!" Regulus said "no" three times in a row, "Professor Prince, I did it voluntarily, and you didn't force me."

"Trust me, you're not going to want to go any further," Harry whispered. "I know some people are getting suspicious?"

"What?" Regulus said in surprise, "How is it possible, I have always been very careful."

"Someone came into my office yesterday, and they asked me about you," Harry said in a low voice, but he spoke very slowly, because he had to ensure that Regulus could hear every word he said clearly, "We got close a while ago, so they thought you were asking me for your opinion on your little problem, yes, it seems to me that they already know your little secret, maybe next, they You'll know exactly what you're doing, and trust me, Regulus, it'll get us all in trouble."

"So that's why you asked me to give up?" Regulus said in surprise, "Is it my brother and his good friend?"

Harry gestured to show the tacit understanding.

"But how could they know?" He also wondered why his good brother kept harassing him during the Easter holiday before, but now that Prince said so, things can indeed be connected.

Harry said that he didn't know, "But obviously they have evidence, don't go on, Regulus, I will deal with the next thing, remember what I said to you during the Easter holiday?"

Regulus frowned tightly, and nodded after a long while.

"Very well, listen to me, don't do anything, at least for a while, study hard, I think you will find the right direction." Harry said softly.

It can only be like this, right?Regulus looked at the serious Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, feeling powerless in his heart. Things might be more troublesome than he knew. If his brother found out, then things would obviously go wrong. worse.

"Professor, you also have to be careful." Regulus said extremely worried.

Harry: "..."
