[HP] Illusion

Under the bright sunshine, the boy and the girl lay side by side on the fragrant green grass, the shadows of the trees swayed on the faces of the two, and the darkness changed.

Even if they were not far away, Harry couldn't quite see the expressions on their faces.

At this moment, little Snape didn't speak immediately, but Lily said again: "I miss him so much."

Little Snape continued to remain silent. Lily, who did not hear a response, turned her head and looked at him slowly, her tone was very gentle: "I think you are too." She naturally likes to be close to Harry, boys are more frequent than her When she got along with the young man, she already missed him so much, I'm afraid Snape missed Harry no less than she did.

"En." Probably when everyone present thought that the little boy was about to remain silent to the end, he suddenly responded in a low voice.

Harry clearly felt the constriction of his heart at that moment, and then the beating there gradually stalled, crazy and caught him off guard.

Lily sighed: "I think he will be back soon."

Little Snape clearly said this sentence just now, but it became Lily's comforting words for the boy.

"Are we really going to receive an invitation from Hogwarts soon?" Lily took the initiative to change the subject.

"Actually, it won't be very soon." Little Snape hesitated when he replied, "next summer, there is still more than a year to go."

"That's going to be soon." Lily actually had a very clear concept of time. Suddenly, she looked at little Snape in a daze. She had heard that when the boy talked about Hogwarts, he always had a much more excited expression than usual, but now it has changed a little.

"Don't you want to go to Hogwarts?"

"...No." He just...

"That's good, you know, I don't know anyone there," Lily was also nervous at this moment. Although she and Snape hadn't known each other for a long time, they were considered close because of Harry's relationship. A lot, but if little Snape didn't go to Hogwarts, she didn't know if she could handle it, "With you here, it will definitely be much better."

"We're not necessarily in the same house," he had always wanted to go into Slytherin before, and it didn't change now, but it was clearly not suitable for Muggle-born wizards.

—Maybe he should ask Harry which house is better.

"That's okay," Lily said cheerfully, "as long as we're good friends forever, right?"

Little Snape slowly turned his head to look at Lily, those beautiful green eyes seemed to attract all his attention, so he subconsciously nodded.

The two kept chatting, and the topic went back and forth from the wizarding world to Harry, and from Harry to the wizarding world.

Harry has been sitting behind the two of them listening to their conversation. This is an age between a child and a teenager. Although the words of the two are still immature, it is obvious that their rationality is more than emotional. They both clearly know what they are doing. What to say, but this kind of conversation is still interesting, Harry listened with relish, and did not feel guilty about his eavesdropping.

——In fact, he was not the only one who eavesdropped.

This memory is obviously different from the original one.Perhaps it was because of his involvement.

Harry hadn't planned to show up at all, he thought this memory would be revealed like this, but just as the sun was about to set and the two were about to go back, the scene in memory popped up again——

The persistent Petunia accidentally made a rustling sound.

Snape jumped up alertly, and saw Petunia who was about to hide at a glance, his voice was tinged with annoyance, cold and cold: "What are you doing here? Overhearing? How long has it been? "

Petunia's face flushed instantly after being caught, she stared at her sister and little Snape, speechless for a moment.

"Why are you eavesdropping?" Little Snape was aggressive.

Petunia looked at little Snape angrily, "I came to find my sister, why do you say I eavesdropped?"

Little Snape sneered: "Have you heard what we said just now? Why don't you stand up aboveboard? What do you want to know, or are you simply envious of your sister, and you really want to learn magic, right? "

"I, I..." Petunia stammered, her face turned even redder, and she didn't know whether it was because of anger or because she was pierced by little Snape.

She gritted her teeth and said dryly, "What am I envious of? I envy a monster like you? Look at what you're wearing. Are those your mother's clothes?"

"Crack——" A somewhat thick branch suddenly fell from the tree towards Petunia, and the end with a few leaves happened to hit her shoulder.

Everyone was taken aback at this moment, Lily screamed, and Petunia who was hit even cried "Wow—" and then shouted loudly at Snape: "It's you! "

Snape didn't have time to react, Petunia was terrified, and then ran away in a hurry.

Harry stole a few steps forward and walked to where the branch was.He closed his eyes, and gently placed his hand on top of the branch.

— not Young Snape.

There was no residual magic power on the branch. If Snape used magic to get it down, there would definitely be an aftertaste of magic power remaining on the branch, so the branch fell naturally.

"Is that you?" Lily stared at little Snape.

This was different from what she remembered, and for some reason, this time Lily didn't think it was Snape so firmly.

"Of course—" Little Snape said angrily, "No."

"But—" Maybe because the boy didn't seem to care much, Lily looked at little Snape suspiciously, "She said something she shouldn't have said, and then the branch fell..."

"So what," said little Snape halfway through, before feeling wrong, "You think I did it too?"

"I……"

"Even if it is smashed, she deserves it." Little Snape was not very happy.

"How can you say that?" Lily's expression became a little angry.

Little Snape said as a matter of course: "You just said that she said something wrong."

"But you can't do this. Harry said that you can't use magic to attack people who don't have magic." Lily was completely irritated now. She was inclined to not believe it, but because of Snape's short words, And reversed this impression.

Little Snape looked anxious at this moment: "So you really think I did it?"

"I really don't know! But you think so, don't you?" Lily said angrily, she looked at Petunia who had already run away, and gritted her teeth to catch up.

This is very different from that memory. Little Snape is no longer lying carefully, and he doesn't seem to be pained or puzzled by Lily's misunderstanding. He just stares fiercely at Lily who has run away. , clenched his fists tightly, but obviously because of being angry.

Harry didn't know what to say anymore, even though he tried his best to change Snape's mind, in the few sentences just now, he found that the person in his memory hadn't changed at all.

In fact, it's not true to say that, at least this time little Snape didn't use magic to attack Petunia. Harry didn't know if it was because he didn't have time, or because he remembered what he said before.

But if you think about it carefully, the falling of the branch should be just an accident, because he once said such serious things to the two of them, and he once said that they should supervise each other. If little Snape did this, Lily would definitely told him, then it would be impossible for him to tutor boys in the future.

Little Snape probably wouldn't be willing to take this risk, heck, didn't this person say he missed him just now?

It's better not to speculate casually about things that haven't happened. If you put on colored glasses from the beginning, what you see may not be the original thing.

Harry preferred to believe that little Snape had changed to some extent.

- The blame can only be blamed on the timing being too coincidental.

In the grove, there was a gentle breeze. Little Snape had been standing still under the tree, and his sight gradually turned to the branch on the ground.

The boy's face was expressionless at the moment, so Harry had no way of guessing what he was thinking.

For some unknown reason, the boy's expression became terrified for a moment, and his hands that had stopped shaking began to tremble slightly again.

—He looked rather uncomfortable.

Harry was standing not far away, feeling uncomfortable.

He knew the feeling of being misunderstood by a person, obviously he had done nothing, but no one believed it.

"I didn't..." Suddenly, the boy's whispering voice drifted to Harry's ears with the breeze.

Harry felt a little distressed.

He used to treat Snape in the same way. At that time, he didn't give Snape any trust, especially in the first grade. He felt that Snape targeted him for no reason, so even if Quirrell said In that case, he would not trust this person either.

Ten years have passed, but the memory of that period is particularly clear——

Behind the trapdoor, in order to distract Quirrell, he kept disturbing him with Snape's affairs. At that time, he once said that Snape always seemed to hate him so much. How did Quirrell answer at that time His: "Of course he hates you, but he never wanted you dead."

Later he found out that Snape didn't really hate him, but himself.

——The one who hates now is also himself.

At that time, Quirrell was telling the truth, and even if Dumbledore reminded him again and again, he couldn't understand it.But there is no medicine for regret in this world at all. By the time he regrets it, that person is already dead.

The man misled him like this, and their misunderstanding will only get deeper and deeper in seven years.

Maybe this person doesn't care at all.

Back then he wouldn't be like now, after blurting out something he shouldn't have said, regretting it, and then saying "not me" when no one was around, even though he knew it was useless.

At that time, even if he was misunderstood, he didn't seem to feel anything.

Harry heard his own heart beating faster and faster, tangled up somewhere, the dull pain numbing his will little by little.

"Not me," said the boy.

Yes, clearly not him.If he hadn't said something like this just now, things wouldn't have developed like this.

Harry took a few steps back, hid himself behind a big tree, took off his invisibility cloak, and walked out slowly.

By this time, the sun had gone down, and the light in the grove was getting dimmer.Harry didn't regret his decision, even though he hadn't planned to go out in the first place.

He was supposed to go to bed and wake up tomorrow to see them again.

Little Snape stared blankly at the slowly approaching man, his eyes suddenly felt hot.

He whispered to the young man, "It's not me."

— even though it might seem silly.

Then, he heard the young man's voice: "I know."

At this moment, he didn't seem to hear any other voices.

That sentence "I know" seemed to be slowly engraved in his heart bit by bit.
