[HP] Illusion

"Need I remind you, it's already the sixth day." Madam Pomfrey's voice seemed to have regained her composure, "Are you still not going to send them to St. Mungo's?"

Dumbledore gave a rare reason he didn't use: "I told you that it's not that I don't want to, but that I can't, look at their posture, if you can explain why we can't separate two people's hands... Maybe I will think about it." Everyone present knew that this was impossible, even if they could explain it so that there would be no scandal between the two, the old man would not be able to tell the therapist why the two fell into a coma .

"Yeah, can you tell me why?" They did try their best, and their hands seemed to be tied together by some invisible chain-like force.In fact, Madam Pomfrey has been curious about this for a long time, since Dumbledore mentioned it first, she naturally wants to ask further.

"Probably some sort of protection from Severus for Harry, you know... how nervous he is about Harry."

Madam Pomfrey was already laughed at by Dumbledore, she simply turned around and left, leaving only Dumbledore standing in front of the glass window.

Another gray-haired old man suddenly appeared beside Dumbledore, "She's right, it's already the sixth day, but we still can't do anything about this situation, if they are in a coma for a month, it will affect their bodies There's been a lot of damage."

Regarding this point, Grindelwald does not need to tell him, he also knows, "But you also know that even if they are sent to St. Mungo's in such a situation, they will not be of any help, not to mention that they are still healthy. The mood also looks better than before."

Mood looks better?Grindelwald looked at the ruddy complexions of the two on the bed that seemed to represent health, and could only agree with Dumbledore's statement.

"Since you have made this decision, then I support you." Grindelwald looked at Dumbledore, "Severus must know the real situation of Harry, so they should wake up together."

Just... don't know when it will be.

"Fortunately, Sirius was tricked by his godson into Auror training camp." When Sirius came back, Harry had already started school.

"Don't forget, there are only a few days left before the end of the holiday."

Dumbledore was stunned, someone's brain circuit seemed to share the same channel with him, "It's okay to start school, you can cut Snape's hair and take a few lessons instead of him."

Grindelwald was frightened, but soon, the smile on his face continued to expand. Such an expression also made his spirit look particularly hale and hearty.

"What are you laughing at?" Dumbledore asked inexplicably.

"I'm just wondering when we'll be together again—"

Dumbledore retracted his feet as if nothing had happened, as if the violent attack just now had nothing to do with him.

But will the situation between these two people really continue until the beginning of school?Dumbledore's head began to ache again at the thought of this possibility.

"So I can indeed pretend to be the Potions Professor, what about Harry?" Grindelwald winked at Dumbledore.

Grindelwald was right, Snape could pretend, but what about Harry?Harry had two of his best friends, and that couldn't be fooled.

How about...bringing them all over?

☆☆☆

Actually this time, it wasn't Harry who insisted on staying, Snape who decided to stay.

Snape didn't know the passage of time in the outside world, but he was sure that their bodies would receive the best of Dumbledore's care for them.With the support of the potion, they could last for ten days and a half a month, even if it was longer, as long as there were no serious threats to their bodies, he would have a way to use the potion to adjust their bodies.

Obviously, Harry's mind is more important than his body.

Snape believed that they stayed here not to escape, but to face the problem head-on.

Because, here can make them feel the real problem.

Maybe it's because the effect of the medicine has faded, and the initial feeling of being magnified several times is no longer there. As long as Harry stays by his side obediently, he won't go out of his way. Snape doesn't Knowing if this was a good sign after all, but he found that Harry also started to think about what he had said before.

- where is this place?

This was the question Harry had been asking these days, even though everything here looked familiar, he still couldn't tell where he and Snape were at the first moment.

Harry couldn't help but grab Snape tightly, and Snape patted the back of his hand lightly, as if telling him not to be afraid.

They have traveled a lot these days.

Most of these places are sunny and sunny, blue sky and white clouds, occasionally violent storms, lightning and thunder, or shady trees, or idyllic villages, here is him, and Snape, here, by Snape's side, he can I feel that I have gained unprecedented peace.

He seemed no longer afraid to think about what Snape had said, although not all the time.

From Snape, he knew that this is what he had experienced, they were like sticking out of a pensieve, but this pensieve stored all their memories, so they could look through them as they needed, the largest The difference is that the Pensieve will not give them a real feeling, but here it can, because this is the memory world of their brains.

After Snape found him, the man established himself as dominant, and Harry had no intention of interfering with where the man was going to take him, he just had to stay with the man and try to accept what the man wanted to tell him. everything about him.

Snape told him that it was not time for them to "wake up".

"This is not your memory." Snape's lips were tightly pursed, and then his voice was very low, as if he had spent a lot of effort: "It's mine."

Harry froze for a moment, this seemed to be the first time Snape told him such an answer, he thought... Snape has been leading him on the road he had walked.

But that's right, they had been staying in his memory world before, but he never thought about entering Snape's memory world.

Harry looked around, but couldn't find anything different, it looked similar to where they had been before.

"It's 1981, and you come back here a few days after telling Lily not to have Peter as their secret keeper."

Harry withdrew his gaze and focused on Snape, only to find that his lips were bitten white, and he seemed to be trying to suppress something.

This made Harry's heart twitch.

"You..." Harry stared at Snape intently, a thin pain was continuously flowing from the man's body, although he concealed it very well.

Harry had never been used to being inside Snape's head, although the man had always encouraged him to do so.Maybe he didn't want to feel the feelings behind Snape's decisions back then, he just wanted to enjoy the present, which was ironic, even the present he wanted to enjoy was not the truth he really believed.

Snape said it was caused by his illness, maybe not quite so.

Snape looked back at Harry, his eyes were deep and filled with pain, he hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.

At this moment, Harry didn't understand what made Snape make such a decision-bring him here.

The feeling of heartache and breathlessness did not come from himself, but from the man with his fingers clasped tightly.

"I want you to know what I did back then." Snape said as if making up his mind.

"I know--"

"You don't want to face those things."

How sharp.

"But does that matter? I've forgiven you." Harry didn't see it as a problem.

"Your forgiveness is very important to me," Snape said softly, "but... have you forgiven yourself?"

Harry was startled, he found that he couldn't understand Snape's meaning at all.

"You said you'd forgive me, and I believe you meant it sincerely," Snape closed his eyes, then opened them again, "but you are unwilling to face this, does this really mean your forgiveness?"

If it was the former Harry, he would feel that Snape didn't need to be so entangled at all.But now, he could feel Snape's true feelings, the despair, the numbness of the soul, the pain of loss, and the firm and clear purpose.

He wasn't the only one with emotions, Snape did too.

They said to look forward, but if they haven't completely let go, then such knots will always trip them up, they don't know when they will trip up, and they will never get up.

Especially in his current situation.

Perhaps, they all need to vent.

"You're right, we all need to vent, and this is a good way." Snape lowered his head, kissing Harry's temples.

Harry kind of understood Snape's intentions.

This was Snape's memory, not his, and such a strong feeling would make him feel that the world at that time, this world officially existed.From another point of view, Snape also wanted to face such a past, instead of throwing it all behind.

Snape wanted to tell him that this world really existed, they had experienced these things, Snape's past mental journey, and these memories he never dared to touch.

"I'll forgive you, no matter what you've done." That's what they said long ago.

It was Snape's tender kiss that came back to Harry.

"I hope we can all forgive." Snape's forehead touched Harry's, nose tip touched nose tip, and the same messy hair of the two was tangled together by the wind, as intimate as one people.

"are you ready?"

Harry nodded.

The two walked forward slowly, and soon, they came to the dilapidated house at the end of Spider's End Alley.

"Lily's inside." Snape said as if foretold.

The author has something to say: It feels like Snape has been circling around Harry since he came back...

It was a great opportunity... instead of making Snape pay all the time.
