[HP] Illusion

After the summer vacation started, little Snape didn't start to relax just because he had just finished the first big exam in his life. The fifth grade didn't mean the end, but a bigger beginning. In fact, they had already finished the exam. Afterwards, Harry had repeatedly warned him that the summer vacation of the fifth grade was not just for relaxation.Really good students will use this summer vacation to make a good connection between the fifth grade and the sixth grade, in case the content to be studied in the sixth grade is too difficult to keep up with the content taught by the professors.

Harry had suffered such a disadvantage before. He had to face too many things in the summer vacation of fifth grade, including the death of Sirius, so when he returned to Hogwarts, he was quite struggling in his studies.

Of course, reasonable arrangements will make your vacation more fulfilling. After spending a lot of vacations with Snape and Lily, Harry has long learned how to arrange a vacation alone.

Little Snape had a summer vacation, but it doesn't mean that Harry also had a long vacation. After he resigned from Hogwarts and moved all his things back home, he did sleep hard for two days and then had a good rest For a few days, but time was always running out, so little Snape, who strictly carried out the summer vacation arrangement Harry had planned for him, found out that Harry was often not at home.As for what they said about going out for a trip when they were in school, there was no shadow at all. This made little Snape suspicious, because Harry's memory has some problems recently, so he has also put This matter is even more forgotten.

Of course, when the young man came back, he was not covered in scars, but sometimes he didn’t come back for two or three days, and after he came back, he needed to sleep hard because of the lack of physical strength and energy, which made it impossible to know what someone was doing. Little Snape was always in a grumpy mood.

This time, Harry hadn't come home for two days, and Snape couldn't be sure when he would be back, even if he said before leaving that he would be back in two or three days, but according to previous experience, Even if it took four or five days for this person to come back, it was nothing more than a normal thing.

What worried little Snape even more was that if this went on like this, Harry would have bid him farewell before he returned to Hogwarts.

Recently, Lily would always come to their house to study with him. Little Snape probably knew her intentions, and the girl also wanted to know what Harry was doing, especially after the girl found out that Harry was Prince.

Lily couldn't find Harry in the house that day, "He looks really busy, do you think he'll be back when our OWLs results arrive?" The girl sat down next to little Snape, Started pulling out some summer homework from my schoolbag.

Little Snape raised his eyebrows, Lily said knowingly: "It seems that you are not worried about your grades at all."

"Are you worried?" Little Snape asked puzzledly, "As far as I know, your grades are quite good." The girl's excellence is obvious to all, there is no doubt about it, so there is no need for the two of them to worry about anything score.

——For top students, they only care about whether they get all "O".

"I checked the answer with someone later, and found that I still made a few mistakes," Lily sighed, and took out her quill and ink, "But I really didn't worry as I imagined. But you still didn't answer me. question, do you think he will come back?"

Little Snape was silent for a while, then said in a low voice: "It's not a big deal, even if he can't come back, I think his own things are obviously much more important than this thing."

Lily looked at the topic above, and asked half-heartedly: "Is he still not telling what he is doing?"

Little Snape shook his head, put down his quill, and said with a paralyzed face: "He has said more than once that he wants to develop in the direction of potions, but if he wants to do that..."

Lily took out another book from her schoolbag, "You will be his best assistant? So it's impossible for him not to take you?"

Little Snape, who was really guessed this time, nodded slowly. He glanced at the topic Lily was about to write, and took two more books from a shelf behind him and piled them on Lily. In front of him, Lily glanced at the titles of these two books, and thanked happily: "Thank you, I am short of these two books, but why do you have them here? Did you borrow them from the Hogwarts library?" ?”

Little Snape: "..."

"Okay." Lily raised her hand and said with a smile, "I'm just joking, don't take it seriously."

"Harry brought back a lot of books," said Snape. "Of course he didn't bring them back, but there are quite a few books he brought back in the study room on the second floor."

Lily had already spread out the book in front of her. After hearing what Snape said, she suddenly stood up and was about to walk towards the second floor. He's changed his mind, and instead of being a potions master, he's going to be a bookseller?"

"No one knows what he's thinking." Little Snape forced himself to focus on the paper in front of him. In fact, he had already dripped several drops of ink on his parchment. After clearing away the rather obtrusive ink spots, he carefully stared at his parchment for a long time, finally put down the quill in his hand, and went up to the second floor to find Lily who hadn't come down after going up.

"What are you looking for?"

"I feel like I haven't been on the second floor for a long time." Lily was scanning the books on the bookshelf with her eyes. "It seems that there are many books that I don't know."

"Harry updated this little library." Little Snape pressed a button on the side, and one of the bookshelves began to move to the right, gradually revealing the full bookshelf behind.

"Wow, no wonder I don't think it's right here and there. It turned out to be two shelves, so the place here looks a little narrow." Lily stepped forward and looked, "This is the part I'm familiar with, wait a minute ..." She suddenly glanced at little Snape, and then at the bookshelf in front of her, "This doesn't seem to be familiar to me, are these the books we read at that time?"

"what?"

"That's it." Lily pointed to one of the lines and said, "I remember we didn't read it when we were young, right?"

Little Snape glanced at it, and then said vaguely: "I don't seem to have seen it either, probably when Harry put it in."

In fact, at this moment, little Snape regretted opening the bookshelf at the back for Lily to see. Recently, he was using the books in the bookshelf in the front, and he didn’t notice that the bookshelf in the back was still filled with some old books. There are some ancient books and manuscripts, and of course some...books that Harry has been studying recently.

——It seems that Harry is not the only one with memory problems, but he too!

"Listen, Severus, I've been thinking that since some of the books Harry brought back might give us a direction—this is what he's interested in, and what he wants to do may be in it."

In fact, Harry brought these books back largely for him to use as materials, but there are a lot of content mixed in these books, which really have nothing to do with the courses he will study now and in the future For example, they have studied some relatively high-end potions this year. At least during his Hogwarts study career, he does not need to touch this type of potion, let alone know... when will he touch it? Such a potion.

At this time, Lily seemed to have discovered some new world. She reached out and took out one or two old-looking notebooks, opened them, flipped through a few pages and closed them again, "Merlin, what are these?! It's black magic, and this is a forbidden book, right?"

"This is not Hogwarts." Little Snape put the book back in Lily's hand, "There is no restricted area here, I know you don't like dark magic, but if we don't use them on people, I think Things will get easier for you."

"I know you won't hurt anyone," Lily sighed, "but these things must not be known to the Slytherins."

"Harry won't let me take it to Hogwarts either." So don't worry.

"Are you really not considering my suggestion?" Lily flipped through a few more books, which made Snape's heart beat a little faster, because Harry's books related to the "high-end potion" he brewed were just a few steps away from her. The few books I found were not far away. Of course, Lily might not be able to think of any connection among them, but inexplicably, little Snape was a little guilty. "We wrote down the titles of the books he brought back, and then we saw what he wanted to do."

He really didn't want Lily to know what Harry was doing, but Lily's thinking might be right, perhaps he could find out one or two from the books Harry brought back.

"That's a big project." Little Snape took out one of the books. "He brought back too many books, and they were all not put together. Such a job is not worthwhile."

"So let's start with him this time?" Lily's brain turned quickly, "If he brings back some books this time, you can write it down and study it later?"

Little Snape had nothing to do with Lily, so he nodded, "I'll let you know what books he brought back."

Lily gave a thumbs up, "You have to know, not only you care about him, but I do too."

She had been fidgeting for a while since Harry had said those things to her, so obvious that no one around her could ignore it, and it was obviously bad that it wasn't until a few days later that someone said she looked better.But only she knew that she was not good at all, and she couldn't convince herself to stop thinking about what Harry wanted to do.To make matters worse, she couldn't tell Snape these words yet, but she might be able to ask Snape to check things out about Harry with her.

Will things be worse than she imagined?

Lily carefully observed the little Snape who seemed to be picking out books, but her mood was even worse.Little Snape seemed to be hiding something from her too.

Is it really interesting for them to lie to each other like this?Why can't everything be made clear?

Lily really wanted to do this, but she clearly knew that she couldn't do it.In a way, Harry was right. If she told everything, little Snape would not let it go. Taking a step back, even if she told him, little Snape would not be right She confessed.

It was much more tiring than facing other students in Gryffindor.

☆☆☆

Harry came back, on the last day of the deadline he had promised himself, and this time he didn't bring any books, but he did bring back two presents, and lots and lots of food ingredients.

When little Snape saw Harry taking out all the big and small bags from the interspatial bag, he really couldn't help asking, "Are you planning to invite all the neighbors on Hibiscus Road to a party? "These things are more than just human weight.

"This is for you to celebrate your good grades," Harry continued to take out packs of food from the space bag without stopping at all. "You and Lily, I have already gone to the Evans couple when I came back, and they will come to help."

"But..." They are not familiar with their neighbors at all, and because they come back during the holidays of the year, others are not familiar with them. If someone asks him and Lily where they study, what should they do? Answer, you can't say Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, can you?

"No but," Harry said enthusiastically, "I can use the Housekeeping Charm to clean everything up, and when the Evans and Mrs. Evans come to help, we can do it all together."

"Are you really going to do this?" Little Snape confirmed to Harry again and again. Looking at the ingredients already piled up all over the floor, he began to suspect that Harry wasn't planning to hold a party, but was planning to hoard goods for later. In case war breaks out they have no food to eat.

"Perhaps you can invite all your classmates." Harry said whimsically, not noticing that the little Snape Zheng Ziang was angry.

"Are you kidding?" Little Snape said through gritted teeth, "Do you want me to invite Slytherin, or Lily to invite Gryffindor? Or let's go together, and let Slytherin and Greg Did Ryffindor destroy our home?"

Harry finally saw that Snape didn't want to joke with him at all, so he took out the last two desserts - ice cream, and pushed one to Snape: "Eat this and you won't be angry. You Look, it hasn't melted yet, how can you not eat ice cream in summer?"

Little Snape: "..."

"Be happy, I admit that I bought a little too much," Harry hurriedly remedied seeing that Snape was about to interrupt him, "Well, it's a lot, but isn't it happy? Even if you don't want to invite other neighbors , we can also give these food to others, all these years, we seem to have failed to establish a good relationship with the neighbors except Lily, you must know that a good neighbor relationship will make your life here better."

"Is it necessary?" Little Snape asked coldly.

——This person also knows that after all these years, why did he go so early?

That's right, this person seemed to have disappeared from the world for a few years, and never came back here at all.

"There will never be a disadvantage, and with the Evans couple here, they will be more friendly to us for their own sake."

Little Snape looked at Harry suspiciously: "What are you trying to do? These people are all Muggles."

Harry moved the ingredients needed to start the party to the cooking table, and directed Snape to do the same, "Why do I think you are saying, what am I trying to do with these innocent Muggles? Sev has a One thing I think you should know is that people can not only use relationships."

"I didn't say that." Little Snape put the carrot in his hand heavily on the table.

"Well, you are afraid that we will hurt them." Harry said in a low voice, "I am Harry now, not Prince. Believe me, I will not let them suffer any harm."

So would you want anyone else involved to be harmed?Little Snape wanted to ask this question, but in the end he still didn't ask it, it was really not a question he could ask.

Harry has been doing things he doesn't understand recently, and now he says he needs to build a good relationship with the neighbors. What kind of rhythm is this?

The doorbell rang suddenly, "Is it the Evans couple? They seem to have come a little early." Didn't he tell them to come back later?

Little Snape went to open the door, and it turned out to be the Evans couple and Lily standing outside the door. As soon as Mrs. Evans entered the door, she saw the vegetables piled on the ground that hadn't had time to clean up: "My God, Harry, what are you doing? What? Maybe this is enough for a hundred people."

"Not that much," Harry said with a smile. "But I think thirty or forty people are more than enough. Also, you came a little early, and it doesn't seem to be the time yet."

"Can you really handle so many things by yourself?" Mr. Evans doubted, "So we are here to help, you can't pay and work alone, after all, you are doing it for Severus and Lily Celebrate."

"Thank you, but I insist that I finish all these first, or you can order a menu, I have a shopping list here, so that you can quickly think about what to do, but you have to hurry," Harry put the concentrated fruit again In the enlarged sink, I began to rinse vigorously with clean water, "Because I think I will be able to deal with these soon."

Lily raised her hand: "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Harry thought for a while, "You and Sev could stay and help me." He didn't prohibit spells here, but he was worried that the two of them would help more and more because they were unskilled.

Facts have proved that what Harry thought was right. Little Snape and Lily can also cook some simple food, but they are obviously novices in using magic, which almost made Harry who was pointing at the side go crazy. Finally, Harry Leigh kicked them all out anyway.

Lily and Snape came out resentfully. The girl looked at her parents who were sitting at the dining table carefully confirming the menu, but decided not to join the party. Together with Snape, she walked to the sofa and sat down.

"I really didn't expect him to change his style," Lily said with embarrassment, "Did he sweep away some market? I can't imagine where Cokeworth can get so much ingredients."

"Probably not in Cokeworth," but the ingredients looked normal, "maybe a farm somewhere."

"It makes sense." Lily touched the sweat on her forehead, "But to be honest, he seems really confident in our results. Did he get some news?"

"He didn't tell me," said Snape indifferently, "but I have a bad feeling."

"What?" Lily was taken aback by Snape's words, "What premonition?"

"Maybe it's not a celebration for us, but his farewell party."

"What are you talking about?" Lily asked puzzled, "He seems to be wholeheartedly preparing the party for us. Didn't you say that you are going to travel together?"

"So...that's just a premonition, it can't be taken seriously." Little Snape said in a deep voice.

Lily: "..."

"Actually, I still have reservations about his motives," said Snape Jr. "He even said to me just now that it is to build a good relationship with the neighbors, but we don't need to do that."

"You're right." Lily had to agree, "But I really don't understand why he would do this," and she couldn't figure out what kind of conspiracy theory it was, maybe they really thought it was complicated.

Just as the two paused, the Evans couple waved to the two teenagers, and Mrs. Evans asked enthusiastically, "This is your party, we need your opinion, I probably know that Lily likes it." What to eat, but Severus, what about you?"

"I can do it all." Little Snape glanced at the food list that the Evans couple had made, many of which were his favorites. "That's enough."

"Yes, Mom and Dad." Lily nodded, "This is enough, don't you really want to finish all these ingredients?"

"Are you going to invite your classmates over?" Mr. Evans asked ignorantly.

Little Snape and Lily: "..."

Lily said angrily: "Unless we plan to demolish this place, it is absolutely impossible. Let's invite some neighbors." At least it is more reliable.

"Okay!" Harry, who had kept the kitchen door closed just now, finally ran out at this moment, and said with a smile on his face, "Ladies and gentlemen, you can come in and help, I just said that I can definitely do it alone." Did people handle it well?"

"Oh my God," Mrs. Evans exclaimed subconsciously after entering the kitchen, "You did this with magic? Then you must teach Lily a lesson, after all, she will marry in the future."

Lily, who followed into the kitchen, stopped reflexively, and said dumbfoundingly: "Mom, what are you talking about? What are you marrying? I haven't graduated yet."

"It's okay, it's a matter of time."

Harry echoed with a smile: "Yes, it will be a matter of time."

The author has something to say: Sorry, there are really a lot of typos (┳_┳)...

They will soon... parting?This will catch little Snape off guard →_→

Fuck, there are already 90 words...can I finish writing another 30 words?

Thanks to the little cute Zuo Dao for the grenade =3=
