[HP] Illusion

It was a warm afternoon, and the bright and warm sunlight covered the not-so-spacious pebble path, the houses on both sides of the road, and the emerald green grass that was watered like a carpet, reflecting the glittering but not dazzling crystals. Bright, the shrubs on both sides of the road are sparsely dyed with new green, the birds are singing, the white flowers are in bud, and the gentle breeze sends the water vapor in the air intertwined with the unique fragrance of the green grass into the forest. between the nose of a person.

Harry, who was wearing the Invisibility Cloak, saw such a scene of spring when he landed—everything here is full of the refreshing and fresh breath unique to spring.The watery texture of the invisibility cloak did not prevent Harry from feeling the clarity here. Compared with the hot summer days and being stuffed indoors most of the time when he came here last few times, the clean and natural atmosphere at this moment is even more irresistible. .

The air five years from now is much better than it was five years ago.

At this time, he was the only one on the entire path, and this place was quite different from the landing place he had imagined before.

——Shouldn’t it just drop on the playground?

Maybe this place is close to there?After all, it's not far away.Although Harry felt that something was wrong, it was understandable—he penetrated into this world, but it was not limited to the area where Snape's memory was. corner alley.

What Harry can be sure of is that the memory he dropped is the period when Snape met or got acquainted with his mother Lily.It was just that he wasn't entirely sure if Snape had seen his mother before that, or if the boy had been paying attention to her for a long time before they met.

Snape didn't like cumbersomeness, so the memory he got was not particularly long, and he could only roughly see Snape's emotional tendencies.

Harry remembered that there was such a passage in this memory that his aunt Petunia once told his mother that it was the boy from the Snape family who lived in the end of the spider. "Famous", Spider's End is a famous slum, what about "Snape"?Isn't it synonymous with domestic violence?

He has seen this memory countless times, and judging from the sunlight, this time point should match, so now he only needs to find the playground, and he can see little Snape and his mother.

This was the moment the two met, and it seemed that Snape's attraction to his mother began.The feelings when you are young are the purest and most sincere. Maybe the feeling at that time is far from true love, but there is nothing more intuitive and pure than this.

As the only ray of warm sunshine in the man's dark childhood, perhaps until the moment of the man's death, that clear light still warmed the man's heart.Snape's memories all told him the fact that his mother was such a sacred existence to a man, and he only loved her for so many years.

In fact, it was not that Harry didn't want to get in the way. He was wearing an invisibility cloak and could use magic at will, so it was easy to destroy this friendship.But let's not talk about whether history will return to the original point quietly, even Harry himself, he feels that he is not qualified to use this method to determine the lives of others.

After thinking about it for a while, the young man who finally figured it out finally decided to let go.If there is no warm sun that can illuminate the dark corners of the heart, what kind of person would little Snape, who only had a dark childhood, become?

Harry suddenly heard bouncing footsteps behind him, followed by a little girl's crisp voice, which sounded like a bird singing.He turned around and saw a short red-haired girl with beautiful facial features not far away and another taller blonde girl with only delicate facial features walking towards him holding hands——

The moment he turned around to see the person coming, Harry lost his mind for a while, and didn't even notice that the person was getting closer to zero distance.

The two little girls are obviously in a good mood. The facial expression of the taller girl is not as bold as that of the red-haired girl, but the slightly raised corners of her mouth soften her face, which is the same as when she grew up. The stern expression is quite different.

The red-haired girl walked in front, and Harry, who was wearing the invisibility cloak, stood in the middle of the road without moving at all, so without the red-haired girl knowing, she bumped into a transparent "wall" .The girl made a prick on her buttocks, fell to the ground and couldn't react, even the blond girl screamed and staggered a few steps after being hit by her, and the two of them were forced to separate their holding hands.

Harry came back to his senses the moment he was bumped into pain, and he didn't care about the sharp pain in his thigh. He stepped back quickly but stiffly for several steps, and when he retreated a sufficient distance, he finally Realized that it should be moved a little further to the side.

—Wait, the first thing he met was not Snape, but his mother?

The red-haired girl looked dazed, she subconsciously reached out and scratched the front, but there was only air there, far from the touch of some strange "transparent object" she just bumped into - obviously not slowing down Come on.

"There's nothing there, Lily." The blond girl said timidly, she stepped forward and pulled the red-haired girl's hand back.

"I really bumped into something." Lily said with a serious face, she stretched out her hand again, and touched it back and forth several times at the same height, but found nothing there .

Watching her movements, the blond girl suddenly screamed without warning. She helped the red-haired girl up in a broken heart, and said unhappily, "Lily, Mom told you not to do that."

"What are you talking about, Petunia?" Lily looked at her sister blankly, "What's the matter with mom?"

"Don't be scary." Penny said seriously.

Lily protested: "I didn't, obviously I fell down. You can't always suspect that I did everything, you have to believe me, there is really something strange there, ouch," she grinned and touched Touching his butt, he said sadly, "My butt still hurts."

"something strange": "..."

"Should we go on the swing?" Petunia gave Lily a sideways look, not intending to continue discussing the topic she was obsessed with with her sister.

"Go! It's fun there, there's no one..." The red-haired girl said loudly, she took Petunia's hand again, no matter what strange things happened, and hurriedly strode towards a certain direction.

"Then let's talk about it first, you don't want to play that kind of trick again, or I will..." Petunia's voice became farther and farther away as the two of them moved away. The two little girls walking on the pebble path, despite their appearance They are not very similar, but the atmosphere around the two is still harmonious and relaxed at the moment, far from being strangers like in the future.

Harry stood there in a daze, watching the two's backs for a while, and finally followed slowly.

For some reason, the heartbeat of the young man who was not walking fast suddenly started to speed up.

In this quiet and warm afternoon, the "pounding" heartbeat was particularly clear, as if something was constantly beating on his tympanic membrane in his ears, rendering unknown anxiety or excitement.

☆☆☆

Harry followed the two little girls around several corners, and finally saw the scene in his memory beside a small road.

This playground doesn't look too big, the slides and other facilities look quite dilapidated, the paint on it is seriously peeled off, and it seems that there are many brown-orange rust spots faintly exposed, the only thing that looks usable is the one swing.At this time, the rusty chains and the swing board whose paint was beginning to peel off were falling quietly.There is only a gentle breeze in the afternoon, which can hardly shake the heavy chains, and the crisp beating and "squeaking" sounds are only occasionally heard.

The big chimney he saw in Spider's End before was not far away, and it looked even bigger than Spider's End.

Lily cheered and stepped forward, bouncing and bouncing as if she could enjoy everything, while Petunia looked more like a sigh of relief, and followed her up arrogantly and reservedly.

Harry, who was standing beside the two of them, was looking around for someone with his eyes wide open.

Logically speaking, this was the first time Snape spoke to Lily that day. He desperately wanted to express that he and Lily were of the same kind, but in the end he was self-defeating and seemed quite rude.

But Harry looked around a few times with his eyes wide open, and carefully rummaged around a certain bush in his memory, but he couldn't see little Snape who was supposed to be peeping at the two sisters from behind the bush.

What went wrong?

The two girls beside the swing were chattering about something, but Harry didn't care to listen. He just patiently searched around and expanded the area around him.

There are always some strange things in this world, and the general memory is correct, but many small details seem to have changed, just like the first time he met the three or four-year-old little bean Snape, he dared to There must be no memory of little Snape rushing out of the house, but it happened to him by such a coincidence.

He searched for a long time but couldn't find it, so he finally stood behind the bush in his memory, waiting for the boy to appear.The reason why the boy chose this location was because it was highly concealed and not easy to be found, so it is even more impossible for someone wearing an invisibility cloak to be found.

In fact, the bushes here are very deceiving. They look green from a distance, but they are quite fragile from a close distance. They are only as high as his knees. If you accidentally touch them, they will roll off a few pieces in an instant. green leaves.The hem of the invisibility cloak swept over a lot of leaves, and even some of them stuck to the corners of the clothes, before Harry shook them off mercilessly.

This playground is in a semi-abandoned state, as can be seen from the pruning state of the plants here - the shrubs in front of him have many and thin branches, of different lengths, and they look extremely scattered.Even though Harry pulled the cloak carefully, the overly long hem still fell into the thin and dense branches from time to time, and got stuck several times. Fortunately, the leaves and branches are quite fragile, haha Leigh pulled out his invisibility cloak without much effort.

The voices of the only two little girls in the venue became louder and louder, and occasionally a sentence or two could reach the ears of someone who was not paying attention to the two of them.

At this time, it was Petunia who was swinging high on the swing. For unknown reasons, Petunia mistakenly thought that Lily was using her strange ability, and her voice trembled even more, but it was extremely depressed.

Harry listened carefully, and he found that his aunt didn't seem to want to let others know that her sister would use strange abilities, so even if she was very scared, her performance was quite reserved, but at first glance, her His expression was a little arrogant and even rude.

——It’s really hard to like.

Harry used to hate Aunt Petunia very much. Even after knowing the truth, although he no longer had the feeling he had when he was a child, he still couldn't like such a person.

The voices of the two girls became softer again. Harry looked around and after confirming that little Snape was not nearby, he wanted to go up to see what happened to the two little girls. , but this task is still very difficult——

His invisibility cloak skimmed over the tops of the bushes, whipping up a layer of leaves and making a rustling sound.The sound was not loud, and it was nothing at all to the two girls who were arguing.

Harry took a few more steps forward, and kept pulling the back hem of the invisibility cloak during the process. He stopped and walked like this several times before he reached the best observation point, where there was only a gap between the two of them. Less than five yards in a straight line.

There was no trace of magic being used in the air, and Harry couldn't feel the magic fluctuations here, which indicated that no magic was used here at all.

But for some reason, Petunia insisted that Lily had done strange things to her swing, and Harry was not worried about his mother who kept defending him, but felt that his aunt's unreasonable troubles were really a childhood problem.

The two little girls are about to reach the age of the governor. Not only are their conversations not as naive as children, but they can also make some sense when they are arguing. The scene of the two girls refusing to give in to each other makes Harry focus on on top.

Because he was used to pulling the invisibility cloak, Harry didn't look behind when he felt that the invisibility cloak was being entangled again. The magnitude is the same as when it is blown by the wind on weekdays.

Until the hem of the Invisibility Cloak began to rustle, Harry finally felt something was wrong.But at the moment when he turned his head, the hem of the invisibility cloak was suddenly grabbed by something strong and refused to let go. Suddenly, a hole was opened at the hem, and Harry touched his wand vigilantly. The next second, he felt A hard object hit his calf.
