[HP] Illusion

There are quite a lot of shops in Diagon Alley, but it’s getting late now, and few of the bustling shops are still open during the day. Naturally, there won’t be many customers on such a stormy night, and more shops are only left in the display area. There was a lamp, but it was enough for a young boy who was absolutely curious about the wizarding world.

Perhaps it was better that way, because even though the shop was open, little Snape had no intention of going in.With Harry, who knew everything without saying anything, beside him, the little boy seemed to be more relaxed in his reserved expression, and the slightly raised corners of his mouth made his paralyzed face brighten up.

Little Snape didn't bluff like ordinary children, but the boy at this time was far from being able to hide his emotions and anger.Even though his expressions were not many, how could Harry, who had studied Snape's memories countless times, fail to capture the subtle changes on the little boy's face—in fact, he remembered every detail in Snape's memory.

The two just walked from the alley to the end of the alley holding hands, and there happened to be a bakery that was about to close.Because of the rush to close the store, the store had a big promotion, and the remaining bread was sold in bundles, Harry bought all the bread for less than half of the usual money.He asked the shopkeeper to divide the bread into two portions, one of which was larger.

After paying the bill, the young man held both of them in his arms with one hand, and pulled Snape out of the bakery.

The night was low, and when we left the bakery, the continuous drizzle had stopped, the water vapor in the air danced lightly, and the streets were full of fresh and energetic smells.

Harry looked at his watch and calculated the current time. Although it was not too late, it should have passed the access control time for a boy less than ten years old. Even if the boy was unwilling, he had to send him back immediately That's right.

Of course Harry knew where Snape's family lived, but at this moment he could only ask knowingly. Fortunately, Snape didn't intend to lie to him, but he still didn't say his house number.

With the young man there, the way back was certainly not far away, and it didn't take long. In the blink of an eye, the two came to Spider's End Alley.

The Spider’s End Alley at night looks very gloomy. There are almost no people in the alleys and roads shrouded in darkness. The air here is quite dry. It seems that there is no rain today. The disgusting smell kept hitting one after another, making people have the urge to flee here immediately.The dilapidated and dilapidated street lamps standing not far away have been in disrepair for a long time, and most of them are broken.

Occasionally, people can be heard roaring and cursing here, and there are also clear meowing and spring sounds, as well as various strange sounds, but the next second it can be as silent as a dead city, which makes people feel hairy for no reason.At times like this, it seems that you can't even breathe, because the sound of breathing will break the dead silence here.No one can predict what will happen in the next second here.

The two walked slowly, and little Snape suddenly stopped. He bowed slightly to Harry, "Thank you, Mr. Potter." Little Snape's voice was not loud, but he looked very solemn.

The two happened to be standing under a dim orange street lamp that was about to go out. The dim light allowed Harry to vaguely see the little boy's face. It seemed to be in such a place. His expression A little awkward, but it seems more than that,

But anyway, today's parting time has come.

If Harry's sense of direction remembered correctly, Snape's house was just another turn ahead.

"Will your parents say something? Do you need me to go in and explain it for you?" Harry asked after thinking about it.

It's just that as soon as he finished asking, he immediately felt the temperature around his body drop.

Hearing Harry's question, little Snape curled his lips subconsciously, but soon he pursed his lips tightly to cover up the movement just now, and he shook his head slightly as an answer.

Little Snape didn't know what he thought of. He looked up at Harry with an eager voice, "Mr. Potter, are you really not going to stay in Cokeworth?"

Harry nodded, but before he could answer, little Snape interrupted: "Then do you know the girl who went shopping with you today?"

"You mean Lily?" Harry was a little confused by the endless questions, so he just replied casually.

"You do know him," said little Snape softly.

"Yes, I know her, what's the matter?" Harry asked puzzled, "Do you know her too?" It stands to reason that he wouldn't be the one to intervene in the friendship between the two, right? "You wanted to find her that day, didn't you?"

Little Snape neither admitted nor denied, and he didn't seem embarrassed to be exposed.

Well, maybe it's because the two of them are so different.

But the current situation is that Harry "gets there first", and what the little boy's plan is is out of Harry's consideration.

In fact, at this time, Harry never thought that he would "destroy" the friendship between the two to a certain extent.

"Then does she know that you are...a wizard?" Little Snape asked seemingly unintentionally.

Harry shook his head. He didn't dare to say more about such a sensitive issue, so he changed the subject and said, "Okay, it's getting late, you should go back." The young man stuffed a larger portion of bread in his arms into Snape "This is for you. The bread in this bakery has a freshness charm. As long as it doesn't mix with other things, it will taste as good as ever. It can last for at least half a month." But Bakeries generally only sell what's out of the day, which is why they're so cheap.

The little boy looked a bit resistant, and Harry could see that he wanted to refuse, so naturally he wouldn't give the boy such a chance.

"I'm leaving soon, and it's impossible for me to take all of these away. If you don't eat them, you will only be able to save the rats in the sewer." Harry said with a smile, "You can just help me, okay? "

Little Snape was startled, and his reaction was beyond Harry's expectation. He hugged the bread that Harry stuffed in his arms tightly, because the brown paper bag in which it was packed was too big, it almost made him whole The face is blocked.

"Then when you come back to Cokeworth, can you come and see me..." Little Snape poked out half of his head with difficulty.

Of course I will come to see you.Harry said in his mind.

——That was his most important purpose.
