[HP] Illusion

Coming to Diagon Alley again, Little Snape had a very different perception of it.

The last time he came was just an accident, if Harry hadn't been protecting him, he wouldn't have come here with him.

It was a very cold night, but he felt unusually warm that day.But compared to the nervousness that night, today he felt inexplicably a little uneasy. This feeling began to faintly emerge when Harry said that he would bring them to Diagon Alley.

This also made little Snape unconsciously start to be cautious.

It rained a little yesterday, and the sun in the morning was mostly covered by gray and dark clouds. Although the weather was bad, the humid breeze still eliminated most of the summer heat, which also made Diagon Alley look It's not as hot as expected.There are still water marks on the cobblestone road, and the feet will slip from time to time, which is not easy to walk on.

Maybe it’s because it’s daytime and Saturday, Diagon Alley is full of people and bustling, and if you don’t pay attention, you may get separated. Harry walked forward with two children, and finally reached their first place. A destination, Lihen Bookstore - Originally, Harry planned to give Lily and Snape a good introduction first, but with the turbulent crowd, Harry had no choice but to give up this idea first.

Lihen Bookstore is the largest bookstore in Diagon Alley, and it can also be said to be the largest bookstore in the entire British wizarding world, and this is actually Harry's main destination.

Not to mention Lily and Snape, even Harry must have never seen the appearance of this bookstore 40 years ago. The bookstore at this time is very different from his time, at least the decoration must be different , but what is certain is that in this era, Lihen Bookstore already has a foundation that can stand in Diagon Alley for decades.

Not far from the door, there is a spiral staircase that can go up to the second and third floors. Walking around the spiral staircase, you can see rows of bookshelves, and in the middle of these bookshelves are several counters. It is the latest best-selling book in the wizarding world.All around them are filled with books that seem to be able to pile up the ceiling, and the overwhelming sense of oppression comes with the smell of books with a strong ink fragrance, which looks quite spectacular.

Just this kind of momentum can crush the scumbags into scum, but for the top students with enough money, this place seems to be the most beautiful paradise.

Little Snape didn't have enough Galleons, but he had Harry.

Lily was almost stunned when she saw so many books related to magic for the first time, and she took her first step under the impetus of Harry and Snape.

Obviously, Lily has fallen.To be honest, little Snape wasn't too far behind.

Harry explained in advance that as long as they read and let him check the qualified books, they can each buy five books, and Harry himself also immediately chooses the books he thinks are the most useful for the two of them—two people can buy It's different, so the two of them can borrow each other after reading it, which not only enriches the knowledge and reading volume, but also saves money.

Harry swept through the preschool education area of ​​Lihen Bookstore. After choosing nearly a dozen books for the two, he let go of this area and led the two to the next area, "Why don't we go separately, Halfway through the walk, Harry suggested, "As long as you don't leave this door, come and find me around here when you've made your choice? I'll wait for you here."

Lily was obviously a little uneasy, but more excited, because she had already seen a book that looked very interesting not far away. Little Snape didn't speak at this time, but soon Harry discovered that the boy was After walking a dozen feet, he turned back.

"What's the matter?" Harry patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, choose whatever you want, we have plenty of time, and you don't have to worry about money for me," the young man was very rich when he said this, but he did have such a Capital, no matter how expensive a book is, it will not be more expensive than a house, "This is a gift, remember?"

However, Harry still jokingly asked, "Or do you not like books?"

Harry knew in his heart that it was impossible. He once spent a day sweeping a certain house in Spider's End, and even a pocket of space was not enough to fill all the books in that house, let alone a certain potions master stayed in Huo As for Gewarz's books, he can guarantee that this man's book collection can basically open a small private library.

Young Snape shook his head.

Harry nodded with a satisfied look, and waved his hand at the boy, "Go if you like, don't miss the opportunity."

Little Snape did not move as Harry wished, but stayed beside the young man.

The hesitant appearance made Harry also feel a little unusual. Could it be that the boy has seen something?He didn't say anything before, did he?

Harry stacked the selected books into a stack and put them on the counter for storage, so he didn't have to hold them so hard.

"Why do you have to choose so many?" Little Snape asked, looking at Harry who was finally empty-handed.

"...to keep you from being lazy?" Harry said tentatively.

The next moment, little Snape's mouth was tightly pursed.

Sure enough, I still saw something.A bitter taste formed in Harry's mouth.

Still the same sentence, after all, we still have to go through it.

Perhaps little Snape may not be clear, but Harry knows that Snape is not coherent, there are only a few paragraphs, this paragraph will end after he goes back, and the next paragraph is when the two are going to enter the hospital a year later. Gwartz, the memory of the sorting house is similar to the previous memory, but it is impossible for him to interrupt the sorting house. In this way, that memory may only be used once—unless he chooses to enter Hogwarts, but At that time, he might not be able to stay for more than three months, and in his world, he hadn't resigned yet, and Harry wouldn't leave Hogwarts behind until he resigned.

Then it's time for the next paragraph. He wasn't sure what grade Snape and Lily were in at that time... But this memory was also in Hogwarts. Even if he came to this world, he might not be able to be with them. Meet—he couldn't just hang around Hogwarts in the Invisibility Cloak.

Because the time he can stay here is getting longer and longer, and he hasn't found a way to go back independently, then if he stays here for more than two months in the future, that is, when even the summer vacation is taken up, at that time, What should he do?

Harry thought that he might quit his job at that time, he thought about it after he found out that he could travel through time, but for some reason it fell through.

Now that the conditions are ripe, maybe he can concentrate on going back and forth between the two worlds?

But even if he had already thought about his future plans, it was a fact that he kept disappearing in front of Lily and Snape for a year or even a few years, so he didn't want Snape to be more dependent on him .

—Did he do it wrong again?

Harry still didn't want to face this question until they finished shopping in the bookstore, and even walked around half of Diagon Alley.

Maybe he can delay a few more times?Perhaps a few more times, and little Snape's entry into the increasingly colorful world would put him in a less important corner?

Obviously the person Snape likes is his mother, and it will be like this in the future, so shouldn't he worry so much?

"Harry? Harry?" After Lily yelled several times, Harry finally recovered from these messy thoughts.

At the moment, they are eating the signature ice cream in a cold drink shop. In front of Harry and Snape, the vanilla flavored ice cream is dotted with thick chocolate sauce, while Lily is ordering the strawberry ice cream mixed with strawberry pulp. Served with fresh strawberry jam and chopped almonds, the two ice creams look very tempting. The thick milky aroma melts in the mouth and leaves a lingering fragrance on the teeth and cheeks.

But Harry was obviously distracted, and even poked the ice cream in a mess, which made Lily, who couldn't stand it anymore, couldn't help calling him back.

"What's wrong with you? Are you too tired?" Lily looked at him worriedly. The books and other things they bought were all placed in Harry's place. Although she didn't know where he put them, but Those more than twenty books were not light, so she was a little worried that his physical strength would be overdrawn.

"No." Harry took a bite of the ice cream and put it into his mouth. "The ice cream here is delicious. This is one of my favorite cold drink shops."

"It's delicious," but Lily won't be fooled by him so easily, "but what happened to you just now, can't you tell me?"

"No," Harry sighed, "I do have something to tell you..."

He sneaked a glance at little Snape, and found that the boy's expression was stiff again, and his mouth was drawn into a line, but because of the ice cream he had just eaten, there was still a little milk stain on the corner of his mouth, Harry I couldn't help but took another look, and took a tissue to wipe off that point.

Snape was taken aback, but Lily laughed at Harry's actions.

But soon they all stopped, because young Snape asked, "Are you leaving?"

After he finished speaking, his face turned blue, obviously angry.

Lily didn't know why, "But Harry always has to leave, and he was always away for a while before."

Harry actually didn't realize it, but Snape suddenly said that, which caught him off guard.He was still in a state of shock, because he didn't expect that little Snape was so sensitive, and he had guessed it before he even said anything.

"This time is different." Little Snape seemed to have decided something, and his voice became icy, colder than the ice cream they were eating, "This time is different." He repeated.

Maybe it was because he felt the seriousness of Snape, or maybe it was because the smile on Harry's mouth disappeared. Lily looked at this and then at that, and finally realized that this time seems to be really different from the last time. Remembering Harry's act of buying them many books just now, Lily's heart also rose.

"Are you leaving?" Snape asked stubbornly.

Harry nodded very slowly, "You can see it."

Snape clenched his fists tightly.

"You really are leaving."

Little Snape's words were like a basin of ice water pouring down on his head, chilling Harry's heart.

"I have something to do," Harry's voice faltered, "this time I may be away for more than a year..."

"More than a year?"

Little Snape closed his mouth tightly after saying this.

Lily looked at them in disbelief, and couldn't help but ask, "Harry, you really want to leave, why so suddenly?"

"There are some things at work that I have to leave. When I'm not around, you should take care of these books." He said in a light tone as much as possible. "Don't be lazy, I will check when I come back."

Little Snape suddenly asked, "Are you really coming back?"

Lily looked at Snape disapprovingly: "Didn't Harry say...he would come back in a year?"
