[HP] Illusion

Probably because the two of them spent too much energy on the two days of Snape's birthday. On the morning they were leaving, Harry couldn't wake up—the cot in the tent was not particularly special. It was a comfortable place, but fortunately, little Snape's embrace was still warm, so Harry didn't sleep badly these two days, even better than before little Snape was on vacation.

Accustomed to the unusually warm body temperature, Harry actually woke up from the cold this morning. When he woke up, he was not wearing glasses, and before he opened his eyes in a daze, he saw a figure holding a A wand lay across the top of his head, and Harry sat up reflexively, reaching for the wand under his pillow with one hand behind his back, but soon, he found that the wand was put away, and the person holding the wand was Little Snape.

"Hmm..." Harry stretched out his hand to rub his eyes, but his hand was slapped off the next second, and the next second, his glasses were firmly placed on his nose. The bed sank, and the image of little Snape was clear appeared within his line of sight. "what happened?"

"Don't rub your eyes with your hands." Little Snape said coldly,

Harry: "..." Didn't he ask this? !

"I mean, what were you doing with your wand just now?" Harry hugged the quilt and didn't want to get up. After waking up instantly, he found that the danger was gone, and now he was a little drowsy again.

"I just wanted to wake you up," said Snape angrily. "Then what are you trying to do, attack me?"

Who wouldn't have conditioned reflexes in that situation?

Harry felt that his consciousness was not clear enough, so he planned to muddle through like this. Fortunately, Snape didn't seem to want to ask any further. The young man fell head on the pillow, and once again shrank into the quilt to wrap himself up. Like a cocoon.

"Get up." Little Snape reached out to pull Harry's quilt, but he couldn't do it for a long time. The quilt, so he didn't use too much force, "It was you who said you would wake you up at this time. I have already prepared breakfast."

Someone who still wanted to stay in bed simply wrapped himself in the quilt and covered his whole head in the quilt.

Of course little Snape wouldn't let him do it, but trying to do it from the outside wasn't very successful, so the boy changed tack.

A hand sneaked in from a corner of the quilt accompanied by the cold wind, Harry shrank in and tried to avoid the hand groping around his body, but soon he realized something was wrong, the quilt was filled with There was a burst of rust smell, although it was very faint, but Harry instantly realized what it was.

Harry was startled, and he lifted the quilt reflexively. The glasses he was wearing just now were already crooked by most of them. This action startled little Snape, "What's wrong?"

Harry fixed his glasses, stared at little Snape and asked, "Are you hurt?" It was a bit cold outside, so Harry put a warming spell on himself, and hugged the quilt tightly in his arms again, inside There is still a little body temperature left.

"Huh?" Little Snape had a slight doubt on his face.

"I smelled blood just now, did you hurt your hand somewhere?"

Little Snape opened his palm and took a look, and Harry saw sharply the boy's cut that was either long or short, "Look, here, don't you know how this is done? "

It was probably reminded by Harry that the boy did have a slight tingling sensation on his hand, but it wasn't particularly noticeable, so he took out his wand and gave it to himself, and the wound began to heal quickly, "It's nothing serious "The boy said indifferently, "Maybe I accidentally got it when I was making breakfast just now."

It was indeed just a small hole, and the boy didn't take it seriously. Harry saw that there was no big problem, so he didn't continue this topic.

Harry woke up completely at this moment, but because the weather was too cold, he got out of bed slowly, and then he remembered that today was the day of their return trip, because of this short three-day trip, he took The work that should be done in these three days has been scheduled, and he will be very busy in the next time. The boy will return to school in a few days. With his help, there will be no problem in terms of efficiency.

The first three days after returning home were the busiest three days since the opening of his studio. Even with the help of little Snape, Harry was in a hurry, and several orders were rushed to the deadline. Everything was done in a hurry, and in the next few days, Harry gradually resumed his usual work rhythm until the boy was about to go back to school.

Harry also specially arranged for this morning to send little Snape and Lily to the train station, and then he had to take the little unicorn back to the Forbidden Forest, and he returned to the studio in the afternoon.

After getting up, Harry took out another bag that sounded like a bell, and placed the heavy Galleon in front of Snape. "We seem to have forgotten one thing," Harry thought He wanted to say, "You are an adult, you can open an account of your own at Gringotts." Since he is a black household, he did not open an account with Gringotts, but Snape is not a black household, of course. Need, and with an account, many things will be more convenient.

"I'll talk about it later." Little Snape actually didn't think about this, but he didn't have much to do with it. He kept all the money in his pocket, and no one could take it away except himself.

While they were making their final preparations, young Snape took out several bottles of potions that Harry hadn't known how to brew.He also told him when to eat it, and he would send it to him after he finished eating, and told him to remember to eat, not to drink up because he was busy doing other things, etc., Harry didn't listen to it for a long time After the boy said such a long series of words, his head was a little dizzy.

Harry made an "ok" gesture, "Don't worry, I will obey you obediently."

Little Snape actually nodded meaningfully, and Harry sighed silently. Since the height of little Snape successfully surpassed him by almost a head, the status between the two of them has been fundamentally different. Feiyue, can you still have fun playing? !

"You have to take good care of yourself at Hogwarts." Now that the other party finished talking, Harry hurried back. The boy didn't look impatient, but his face was paralyzed, and even Harry couldn't handle it. Understand what he is thinking.

"Understood." After Harry said a lot, Snape said something. He looked at the time and signaled that they should go.

At this moment, Lily also came to the door with her own luggage, and as soon as she entered the door, she enthusiastically and reluctantly touched the prince's little head. She looked at little Snape expectantly: "I can still be in Hogwarts." Do you see it?"

Little Snape was silent, then shook his head slowly.

The red-haired girl actually understands the situation between herself and the boy. Although she loves the little unicorn more and more, for the sake of her friendship with little Snape, Lily decides to reluctantly give up—if she has to give up. .

"Well, I'm just a suggestion." Lily sighed, "I also know it's best not to." She gave the little unicorn a big hug again, these days Lily comes to play with him every day, the girl is ha Lily and little Snape's friends, so the performance of the prince's little friend is also very good, which makes Lily always irresistible to it's acting coquettish and cute, and one person and one beast quickly established a deep friendship.

"Okay, we can go now," Harry said, checking his watch.

"It's still early?" Lily said after thinking for a while, she continued to smooth the little unicorn's fur reluctantly, and the prince was half lying in her arms, looking very comfortable. "We can stay for a little while."

Seeing the girl's love for the little unicorn, Harry really couldn't bear to interrupt, but it didn't mean the boy wouldn't do it.

"Let's go, we have to leave here, so the time is about the same, you still have a chance to see it."

Harry thought for a while and said, "But you don't want to run into the Forbidden Forest to find it by yourself. Breaking the school rules is the second best thing. If you are really in danger, it will make people very worried."

No matter how reluctant she is, Lily knows that things will always be different.She bid farewell to the prince helplessly, and embarked on the way back to Hogwarts.

In fact, the boy would have told him to take those potions before, but it would not be like this time, telling him several times in a row, as if he would really forget.

——He just forgot something from the past, okay?He didn't forget much about recent events.

"I'll record drinking potions in my notepad." Harry even took out his own notepad at this moment and promised, "So you can rest assured."

Perhaps realizing that he was too much, little Snape's mouth was tightly pursed again.

After the boy left, Harry breathed a sigh of relief. There was something wrong with little Snape recently, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Did he know that he might be leaving soon?

But isn't there still more than three months left? He didn't show anything wrong, right?

Harry returned home, looked at the little unicorn pounced towards him, and hugged it in his arms, "Do you know what Sev was thinking recently?"

The little unicorn couldn't speak, and the only answer to Harry was its soft and sweet cry. It also raised a hoof to try to touch Harry's face, but because of the wrong position, it could only rest on Harry's. on the neck and collarbone.

"It seems that you know," Harry pinched its little hoof, "but you don't know at all, I don't even know when he made these potions." Arranged the potions in order, and put them bottle by bottle into his own interspatial bag.

"Okay, since you're useless, I'll put you back in the Forbidden Forest." Harry lifted the little unicorn up in the air, and then put it down again. The little unicorn seemed to be hurt by something. He hugged his calf tightly as if frightened, but soon, it wanted to climb up quickly again, bouncing and bouncing, as if it was very interested in the game just now.

It was almost noon at this time, and Harry still had a lot of things to do in the afternoon, so he just played with the prince for a while before taking him to the Forbidden Forest.

The prince's departure naturally marks the complete end of this year's Christmas holiday, and it also seems to indicate that Harry's stay here has entered a three-month countdown.

☆☆☆

In the following month, Harry and Snape continued to maintain a stable contact, but the number was not too many. Most of them were when the boy let him drink the potion on time. At this time, no matter how busy Harry was, he would Back to him, even with just one word.

But as his affairs increased, the situation outside became more tense, and his orders also increased.Harry's time was getting tighter and tighter, sometimes he didn't have time to pay attention to these little things, and the frequency of replying letters became less and less.

Harry had too many things to juggle, and Voldemort's side was enough for him to take care of himself, and now he had to juggle another job, providing some information to Dumbledore in private.

Harry didn't tell the other party who he was, but he suspected Dumbledore knew.

There really wasn't much progress on the Horcrux side. With his time running out, Harry changed his strategy and began to have closer ties with several other families at the same time. It has spread to most of the UK, so the orders of these families have gradually increased.

Among them, the closest to Harry was obviously Malfoy, which seemed to be closer than Harry had imagined at first.

Harry has been hinting at the danger of Malfoy Voldemort more than once. The other party's expression did not change at the beginning, but there was a hint of worry on his face. Harry guessed that his policy towards Malfoy was successful.

Just one month before Harry left, a war initiated by Voldemort swept across the whole of Britain like a whirlwind without warning.

The whole of Britain fell into a panic almost instantly. The Death Eaters almost pervasively began to cleanse all industries and daily affairs.

A while ago, because of the emotions that the newspapers had been stirring up, many people were instigated to some extent. In the end, they even expressed that they wanted the Minister of Magic to step down.

It seems that from a certain day, people's distrust of the Ministry of Magic began to grow gradually, so this time because of the Ministry of Magic's inability to deal with it, the Death Eaters were rampant, and even some Aurors were blamed for their crazy behavior. was seriously injured.

Recently, there have been fewer big families coming to Harry to place orders. Obviously, they have already stocked up on the goods. The current orders are all orders from small families or individuals, but these orders alone are enough to keep Harry free. I can't come down.

There was a lot of war outside, and Harry was making his own potion as if he didn't hear it, but in private, he had more things to do than appeared on the surface.

Because he had a deep understanding of war before, and then he had studied it in Hogwarts, so Harry had always been extra careful about these things.

Carefully passed on the news, carefully concealed his whereabouts, because he used his method to discover a lot of plans about Voldemort, and successfully passed on the news, and it was obviously not good for those who relied on this information to succeed. Stopped many Death Eaters who were overwhelming at first.

Because Dumbledore is too efficient, and the cost of Voldemort's side is constantly increasing, Harry, who is worried that his actions will be discovered, even carefully designed a trap, trapping one of the Death Eaters in an attempt to make Voldemort Thinking that the inner ghost was the Death Eater, he finally learned from Malfoy that this extremely murderous Death Eater had been locked up.

Harry thought about all the possibilities at that time, and tried his best to clear himself up, so that all guns were aimed at this Death Eater. Now that he heard that it was successful, despite the worry on his face emotions, but cheered silently in my heart.

"So when is this fight going to be?" Harry gave a mock sigh. "It's had a huge impact on my business."

Malfoy frowned slightly, but even for this action, he did it with incomparable elegance, "Isn't it? A lot of people have been injured recently, will your orders be more or less?"

Harry shrugged, "They probably don't have time to take care of it." His business is actually not bad recently, but even if he lied, it's obviously impossible for Malfoy to be able to find out his order by magic.So Harry is also particularly fearless.

"I think they'll realize soon enough that you've produced a good product." It wasn't a particularly flattering word, but it was very nice to hear from Malfoy.

Harry waved his hand embarrassingly, "It's okay, I was too busy a while ago, and recently I have a little leisure time, other things are not too important." No wonder.

——It's not unimportant, but really too important.

"After all, many people think that the potion you made is very good." Malfoy said pointedly, his voice was very low, "I don't know if you have helped that person make potion recently."

"Yeah." Harry nodded roughly, "Actually, the portion isn't much, but it takes a long time, and that's the more troublesome part."

"I see." Malfoy nodded.

Although Harry was a little puzzled by his "I see", he thought about it.

After both parties got the information they wanted, the two broke up again.

In mid-March, Harry found that there was only a little bit of his hourglass left, and it should be less than a month before he returned.This time he has been here for 16 months, more than a year. According to this rule, he may be able to stay for 32 months next time he comes here.

But he didn't finish everything—well, it's because he invested in greater interests—so Harry was a little anxious. In fact, he didn't plan too well at the beginning, after all, he didn't I don't know what will happen to things like Horcruxes that basically no one knows.

In fact, all he knows now is that so far, Voldemort has not given those Horcruxes to any family, so these Horcruxes should still be injured by him, which is more problematic than Horcruxes in other people's hands, Harry asked himself It should be impossible to fight against Voldemort, and there is another bad thing about doing this, that is, if the other party finds out, all his previous efforts will fall short.

Things were more troublesome than he imagined. Harry originally wanted to focus on finding the whereabouts of the Horcrux, but one day, Harry suddenly received several orders from several orders, asking for the same number of items but different contents. Much the same.

Originally, he took it as soon as he picked it up, but the series of several strokes made him feel puzzled.

In Harry's view, these potions are indeed not a big problem, but when he put these orders together, he discovered an amazing fact - as long as these potions are mixed together, it will become another potion. A potion, and such potions are not drinkable at all, in fact, they are so destructive that they give off poisonous fumes.This knowledge point is a potion prescription that he accidentally wrote down from a book "Encyclopedia of Poison Potions". He didn't expect to come across it today.

If it is said that from the beginning, Harry still held that they would not know the properties of the mixed potion, until the Carlo family placed an order for an antidote from him, which made Harry sure that they must have known the properties of this potion. properties of the drug.

But the biggest problem is that Harry doesn't know when and where they will be used by whom, so he made a more risky decision, because he has not delivered these goods to the customer, so he put them Two of the bottles in each order were replaced with potions that could detoxify.

In this way, if they want to mix these, some of the toxicity will be decomposed, and the remaining ones are not too strong, enough for the unlucky ones who inhaled these poisonous gases to retreat completely.

At the same time, Harry reported this information to Dumbledore anonymously, and by the way, he also gave him the remaining antidote that he had made before. Now that the matter has come to this point, in case Dumbledore has not made any preparations, Then the Order of the Phoenix led by him will obviously fail completely. If Dumbledore has an accident because of him, then it is meaningless for him to come here.In this way, Dumbledore should be prepared, but if he does this, he may be suspected.

While Harry was thinking of countermeasures, the Death Eaters had already started their plan.

After much deliberation, Harry thought about giving the matter to the Carlo family. After all, what they had in their hands was the antidote, but this was even more reckless. After all, the Carlo family was loyal to Voldemort. , then while doubting the Carlo family, he would think of him who made the antidote by the way.

But at this time, the conditions did not allow Harry to think too much, because Voldemort's plan this time obviously failed, and no one died because of their plan. In this regard, Voldemort was the one that failed.

The author has something to say: Thanks to the little cute Qiao Feiyuan for the grenade.
