[HP] Illusion

"Are you going to reply?" Hearing Harry's words, Lily immediately shook off Petunia's hand, turned around and ran towards the house, leaving only Petunia with a stunned face and the one who stood calmly at the door without saying a word. Harry.

"What are you going to do?" Lily disappeared, but Petunia didn't immediately follow or close the door. She stood at the door and stared at Harry. "What do you want to take her for?"

If Harry had never seen those memories, he might think that Petunia was a good sister who cared about her sister. She looked hysterical and wanted to pull her sister back to him, but those memories told Harry that things were completely different. It’s not the same thing, Petunia also longs for magic in her heart, but after Dumbledore rejected her and she knew that this matter was out of the question, Petunia stood on the opposite side of magic, and she even yelled at her sister A monster, and too ashamed to have anything to do with magic because of the embarrassment, Harry knew it all.

Lily hadn't come back after a while, when Harry, who had been standing at the door, suddenly said, "I won't hurt her."

Petunia stared at him with a terrified expression, and then ran away without closing the door. Lily was still very strange when she came out, "Where's Petunia? Have you gone back yet?"

"What?" Harry smiled slightly, "Are you afraid that I will take her away?"

Lily looked at Harry dully: "...No way?"

"Have you forgotten what I said more than a year ago?" Harry patted the red-haired girl's head and shook his head, "We must never harm a Muggle with magic."

"Ah, I'm not..." That means.

Lily stuck out her tongue playfully, "I know you wouldn't do that, I was just joking."

Harry announced the answer: "She ran back by herself, and I don't know what happened."

Lily was very suspicious of this, and with Petunia's indomitable temperament, how could she run back by herself, she was sure that Harry had said or done something to her.Of course, she also believed that Harry would not do anything out of the ordinary. This man has always been a gentleman, polite and kind, so she always gets close to young people unconsciously. Even her parents like him very much. he.

"Come on, Severus is waiting for us." Harry patted her head, making an inviting gesture sideways.

When Harry and Lily returned home, little Snape was staying in the guest room. He didn't know if he heard something. He was struggling to get out of bed, but because of the previous injury and fever, the boy had no strength at all. , it was difficult to even sit up, let alone climb out of bed.

"Didn't I tell you to lie down?" Harry, who brought Lily into the room as soon as he came back, also saw the condition of little Snape. The boy was tripped by the quilt, and wriggled together with the quilt for several steps due to lack of strength, and now The little half of her body fell to the side of the bed, "Lily is here, don't move if you are sick."

Harry conjured up a beautiful and delicate armchair for Lily to sit on beside the bed, and sat down on the bed himself.Lily looked at little Snape worriedly, and Harry explained: "I have treated him for other injuries, and his fever has also subsided. He took some medicine just now, and he should recover soon."

"That's good," she said with a sigh of relief, "Severus, you can't let them do this again."

Snape glanced at Harry, then looked back at Lily, and said softly, "Anyway, I'm leaving soon."

"That's right," Lily thought for a while, "but you still have to come back, what are you going to do after that?"

"Let's talk about the future." Little Snape obviously didn't want to talk about this question again, "How about the invitation letter...?"

"The invitation letter is here," he took two invitation letters and reconfirmed to the two of them. "Then I will help you respond to Hogwarts now, so that they don't have to send the professor anymore? Or do you want to meet the professor first?"

"Just take us there!" Lily said excitedly, "You should know nothing less than Hogwarts. Have you ever studied there before?" She never asked this question, but she was always curious .

——He didn't go to school there before, but he will go to school there in the future, and he even read the eighth grade that no one has ever read...

"Well," Harry nodded, "a long time ago..."

"But didn't you say that Hogwarts is seven years old? You look like you've just turned 20..." Lily counted with her fingers, "That's not too long ago, right?"

His mother was so perceptive that Harry mumbled, "It was very early for me."

The young man quickly changed the subject, but fortunately, the attention of the two of them was quickly attracted by the reply letter. The reply letter does not need to be too formal, generally speaking, as long as it has the meaning of "agree", this letter is written by Harry. Writing, the two signed their own names, so that the task was completed.

"Is that all right?" Lily watched Harry put the letter away, and couldn't help being a little curious, shouldn't it be mailed now?

Harry nodded, "There are no owls here, I will go to the owl post office when I find time, so that I can reply to Hogwarts."

"So can we raise owls too?" Lily is really a purely curious baby. She knows that owls are used in the wizarding world to deliver letters, but she doesn't know anything else.

"Yes," Harry nodded, "many people buy owls as pets."

"Do you have one too?"

"...she's dead." Harry said calmly.

It's just that he doesn't want to have any pets anymore, and will always leave anyway.

"I'm sorry," Lily was stunned. The emerald green eyes of Harry in front of her couldn't help but feel sad. For some reason, she also became sad, "I don't know..."

"It doesn't matter," Harry patted her head, "it's been a long time, I think she should be doing well with Merlin now."

Little Snape stared at Harry in a daze, unable to say a word.

"Do you want it?" Harry tried to cheer up the atmosphere, "If you want, I can give you one each. As long as you can get it in the exam I give you in the next few days Satisfactory score..."

"think--"

"don't want--"

The two children spoke almost at the same time, but they said completely opposite things.

"Huh?" Lily looked at little Snape strangely, "Why?" The boy's grades were much better than hers, and he could always easily get the best marks on the questions Harry gave. The owl was already in Snape's bag.

——But isn't Harry really planning to bleed his wallet this time?

Harry was also a little surprised, "Don't you like owls?"

Young Snape muttered something, but his voice was so low that Harry couldn't quite hear him.

"But wouldn't it be convenient to have an owl? We can send letters casually." Lily tried to persuade little Snape.

"I don't know how to raise it." Little Snape's words finally became clear once again.

"That's a pity, but you always treat potions as pets, so there's no need for them!" Lily said with a smile.

Potions as pets?Keke, it's really apt enough.

But why didn't little Snape want to raise an owl?Is it because there is no money to support them?In fact, that's right, the life of Snape's family was a little poor. If he really kept the owl at home, I'm afraid old Snape would really kill the owl and roast it to eat...

Harry looked at little Snape suspiciously, intending to ask when the two of them were alone together.

At night, Harry was still in the guest room. In order to take care of Snape, they actually shared the bed more than once. At night, Snape's condition improved a lot, but Harry was worried Little Snape would have another fever, and of course he couldn't leave the patient alone in a room.

In fact, little Snape also knew that he used to sleep in the guest room, but even so, the boy never asked why he didn't go to the master bedroom.When he came back this time, he still slept here, but when he was on the bed yesterday, he found that there seemed to be a familiar smell on the bed - mixed with a faint scent of potion, and an unidentifiable smell.

Probably because he slept a little too much during the day, and then he fell asleep again after Lily left. As a result, when it was almost midnight, little Snape couldn't fall asleep.

Harry had already turned off the light, leaving only a small night light with a warm orange light, so that it would not dazzle the eyes, nor would it make people unable to fall asleep. In the dim light, Harry could hardly keep his eyes open. opened.

Little Snape was tossing and turning next to him at this time. To be honest, it wasn't that big of a deal, but Harry was a very sensitive person, so he forced himself to cheer up at this time.

"Can't you sleep with the night light on?" He breathed out a strong tired breath as soon as he opened his mouth.

"No." said Snape in a low voice.

"Is it still uncomfortable?" Harry half woke up when he said this.

"it's not like that."

Harry turned around and faced the boy. He had already taken off his glasses by this time, so he couldn't see the boy's face clearly.

Little Snape felt Harry's movement, his body froze, and then he turned towards Harry bit by bit.The two just looked at each other face to face, because there was still some light in the relationship, the two could still see each other.

There was a distance between the two, Harry yawned slowly, probably yawning was really contagious, he watched Snape and he yawned too.

"What's that? Do you want to talk?" Harry asked softly.

"……Um."

"What do you want to say?" Harry said casually, "Just say what you want to say, anything is fine."

Little Snape: "..."

Harry's consciousness was already a little fuzzy, but now that little Snape didn't open his mouth for a long time, he couldn't hold it anymore, and he managed to pull himself together, "Why don't you talk?" Didn't you say you wanted to chat?

Harry probably sensed that the boy probably didn't know what to say, so he asked first, "Then let me ask you a question first."

He was afraid that he was too tired and his voice was quieter than he expected, so he moved closer to little Snape, "Why don't you want to have an owl? Or do you not like all pets?"

Little Snape looked at Harry whose eyes were almost squinted, and instead of answering his question, asked softly, "Do you want to sleep?"

"No," Harry said in disbelief, "don't try to escape, answer my question quickly. Do you really don't want an owl, they are cute and capable."

"Always leave."

Harry woke up suddenly.

He didn't speak for a long while. Little Snape, who was just looking at the ceiling, turned his head slowly, only to find that Harry's eyes, which were about to close, were wide open.

"Why do you say that?" Then, the boy heard the dry voice of the young man on the same bed.

"Didn't you not raise it either?" the boy whispered.

Is he still too sleepy?Why did he fail to understand the logical relationship? Is this the answer?

"But you can still raise them. They won't leave without reason."

At some point, the distance between the heads of little Snape and Harry was much closer, and Harry found that he could see the boy's face clearly.His mouth murmured, but no sound came out.

"What do you want to say?" Harry saw it, and he was still not used to the boy's way of speaking.In fact, he should teach the boy to say what he wants to say instead of keeping it in his heart. Anyway, the boy should still listen to him.

Little Snape looked a little nervous, "Is everything okay?"

"Never mind," Harry whispered, "you mean to ask why my owl left?"

Little Snape: "..."

Because he just said that the owl will not leave for no reason, so the boy probably noticed such a thing. "That's okay, she stayed with me for six years, and finally died of an accident." Harry said as calmly as possible, but when he spoke, he found that when talking about this matter, he didn't seem to be there is nothing,

"Accidental?"

"She wasn't killed on purpose," Harry sighed. "Not everything is going to leave you, and you shouldn't think so."

But when he said this, he always felt that he was a little untenable.

But he couldn't let little Snape find out, he couldn't let him find out, he actually thought so too.

What else does he have besides Ron and Hermione?

Everyone left him, the closest person, the most admired person, the most sorry person...

No one can stay.

Some people say that surviving is a kind of luck, some people say that you have to live for them, and some people say that your life is bought by them.

People live, always have to face this kind of pain.

"We are constantly losing, but we are also constantly gaining. People can't always live in the past." Harry didn't know whether he was convincing little Snape or who he was convincing.

- But not everyone can get what they want.

At least for now, it seems that he hasn't been able to find such a thing completely, or that he has lost such a thing long ago.

He always felt that life was completely consumed like this, and it didn't seem to matter.

"Well," Harry scratched his hair suddenly, "well, just think I'm talking nonsense," what's wrong with him, why did he say that.

The boy shouldn't be able to see the inconsistency between words and deeds, right?

He really has been a little too discouraged recently, right?

"I'm sleepy," said young Snape in a low voice.

"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Harry asked subconsciously.

"No."

"Go to bed early then," Harry whispered.

☆☆☆

After that, little Snape recuperated for a few days, and Harry took the opportunity to return the letter, and then he waited for the boy to fully recover before taking them to Diagon Alley.

Lily didn't go to the harp class these days, and came to Harry's house to study with little Snape every day.These days, Harry would test the two of them on their knowledge of magic over the past year, and sometimes give them lectures in depth.

When he came back on the first day, he had already discovered that the two children's understanding of magic had long exceeded his expectations, and was even much better than many children from magical families—such as Ron, who hadn't Before entering Hogwarts, his good brother even performed silly spells for them on the train, that is to say, not all families will teach children magic, so the performance of the two of them now will definitely make them The eyes of the professors at Hogwarts brightened.

In this way, even if the boy is assigned to Slytherin, he will not be bullied too much.He has the ability to protect himself, which is the most important point, and although Lily is Muggle-born, Gryffindor has always been careless and doesn't care about blood issues at all, and Lily is a good girl herself, so Harry doesn't care about it at all. Don't worry about her having problems.

Harry never said anything about what happened to the two of them after they entered Hogwarts.For example, regarding the question of the sorting, in fact, Lily has asked him many times how they were sorted. Harry also dutifully preserved this mysterious traditional reserved item.

Some things never change.

He knew that Snape would be in Slytherin, and Lily would be in Gryffindor.This is the beginning of their confrontation, so during this period of time, he always told the two that they should support each other in the future, and don't doubt each other just because of other people's words.

He can't say too much, such as trusting the other party unconditionally.In fact, judging from what happened to Petunia before, Lily might feel guilty. In this way, Lily's trust in little Snape should also increase a lot.

Snape gave too few memories, it seemed that there were only two typical small incidents, but Harry knew that there would probably be many such incidents.They are not in the same academy, and people from their own academy will constantly speak ill of each other. They are so young, so of course they are easily influenced. Over time, they are subtly influenced and have a crisis of trust...

In Voldemort's heyday, the confrontation between the two colleges was much more intense than in their time, and many Slytherins even joined the Death Eaters before they graduated.

Harry is still struggling with this problem and doesn't know what to do?

He once thought about finding Voldemort and destroying all those messy things, but he was not sure that he could do everything well before the other party noticed, and he didn't have time at all before, and it took a little longer recently , but this time he can only stay for about a month.

Can you really do everything in a month?Harry couldn't really be sure.

And most importantly... Will history go back to the original point?

To be honest, he dared not try again.

Every time he worked hard, things always seemed to be caught by something in the end. As long as the track deviated slightly, it was moved back quickly in the end.

Everything is going in the given direction.

Little Snape didn't go back to Spider's End these days. Later, when he asked the boy where his parents had gone, Little Snape shook his head--Harry went to find Irene that day but couldn't find anyone. He was going to talk to her about Snape, and report on him taking the boy away so she wouldn't worry.

Harry went to look for Irene again this day, and this time, the house in Spider's End seemed to have been tidied up, and Irene didn't seem too surprised when she saw him.

It's just that her face was pale, and she looked more haggard than a young man, with a look of exhaustion.

"You came."

Looking at her expression, Harry really didn't know what to say to her, and finally he had to bring the topic back: "I will take your son Severus to Diagon Alley in two days, these He will stay with me for the next day, and you can settle the issue with your husband, and then I will send him back."

Irene's body trembled, she tightly held the teacup in her hand, but she drank up the water long ago.

"Can you..." she whispered, "let Sev live with you until then?"

Harry was a little dazed, but he quickly reacted: "That would be great, I will take this opportunity to tell him more about Hogwarts."

"Thank you." She looked exhausted.

"Here is some money, please pass it on to him for me." She slowly took out a few pieces of money used by Muggles. If they were exchanged for the currency of the wizarding world, it would be barely equal to that of the earliest Weasley family. Level, "Maybe not enough, I told him before, he should know what to do."

"You keep it," Harry pushed the money back, "I'll tell him that you've given me the money, and you probably remember that I hit it off with him, so let me help him with the money .” In fact, he is really not short of money.

Erin pushed the money into Harry's hand persistently, biting her lip tightly, looking worried.

Harry couldn't evade it, so he had to collect all the money.
