[HP] Illusion

After coming here and meeting Lily, the young man had thought about his father, but something happened later, which made him almost give up the idea of ​​meeting James on his own initiative.

Let nature take its course, if you can meet it, you will meet it.If you can't meet him, you don't force it.But he didn't expect it to be so soon.

The Potter family should have seen him just now. I don't know if it's because he has lost too much weight recently. The other party didn't seem to respond much when they saw him.While Harry was rejoicing, he was also slightly disappointed.

Someone who only has Lily in his eyes is right—whether in memory or here, his father fell in love with his mother at first sight.

Anyway, I always saw him, and he didn't know what would happen in the future. Before he made up his mind, he would not take the initiative to contact James, Sirius and Lupine again.

"Harry? Harry?" Little Snape called out several times but Harry couldn't help but feel a little worried. "What’s wrong with you?"

The young man's expression was very strange, he seemed to have thought of something, and he seemed to be in some pain, but he just endured it very well, but if you look closely, you will find that his hand poking the vanilla ice cream is trembling unconsciously, and his face is also a little pale white.

As a last resort, little Snape had no choice but to stand up and squeeze to Harry's side. His movements were a bit big, which made that Harry quickly regain his senses.

"Huh?" Harry put down the spoon. The vanilla ice cream and the chocolate sauce used to be black and white, but now they have been blended into a coffee-colored milkshake. sound.

Little Snape's eyes suddenly became dim, and he looked a little bit listless, "What were you thinking just now?"

"No..." Harry's lips curled up at an angle, but his smile really didn't look good, "I just thought of something, it's nothing."

Little Snape's lips were tightly pursed, and he didn't speak.

Harry hasn't been able to get out of the emotion just now, but because of Snape's expression, he knows that he must have lost his composure, and he should be happy today. There are some things that he has known from the very beginning up.But when he really had to face it, he still couldn't adapt to the shock for a while.

—Probably, it will get better gradually, right?

"Have you finished?" Harry took a few more mouthfuls of the milkshake, but because the thing looked a little bad, he was in no mood to eat any more. "We're ready to go."

Little Snape didn't speak, but quickly put down the spoon in his hand.

During the rest of the trip, Harry realized that something was wrong with little Snape. The boy didn't speak, and he didn't even respond to his questions.

Harry wasn't sure if he was angry with himself, Harry thought for a while, but couldn't figure out when he had offended little Snape again.Then when he tried to walk with the boy's hand, the boy didn't shake him off.Puzzled, Harry took a closer look at the boy and was sure he was sulking.

why?

From the wand shop until Lily left, little Snape was in a good mood. When they had a cold drink together... Harry found that he couldn't remember little Snape's expression just now.

Is it because of this?Or was it because the boy realized that he hadn't told the truth just now?

"You seem a little unhappy? What's the matter? Can you tell me what's going on?" After the two purchased a lot of potion materials, Harry and Snape walked on a relatively quiet cobblestone path asked when.

After a while, little Snape shook his head slowly, but his fists were clenched tightly.

The young man has many things that he doesn't want to talk about. It was the same before. He just felt unhappy, but in fact he knew that he had no right to be angry. The fact that the young man cared about him did not mean that this person should give everything to him. share.Snape's lips were drawn into a line.

Just like when the young man said he wanted to leave last year, he knew that he was not qualified to tell the young man to leave, but he still couldn't stop thinking like that.

The boy felt a little ashamed, and he didn't know why he thought so, but he couldn't control it.

Harry sighed silently in his heart, he probably knew what was going on, but even if the boy kept fighting, there were some things he couldn't tell the boy at all.

——The brains of the two seem to have accidentally staggered a lot.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it," Harry smiled slightly, "Don't be angry, today was a happy day, and we have to be happy before we go home."

After hearing the young man's words, little Snape couldn't help squinting at him, wondering who was the first to be upset just now.

But the boy followed Harry's advice. It was pointless for him to sulk like this, so before entering the house, little Snape finally talked to Harry normally again.

Telling the boy to take a shower, Harry secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he sat alone on the sofa.

If possible, he would also like to tell others everything, but is there really such a person?

Even Dumbledore, he told him, can the headmaster stop it?If there is a deviation in the future fate, how can it be guaranteed that it will be better and not worse?

Harry closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. The things he experienced in this world always told him that if he tried to change history, things would get worse besides going back to the original place.

What went wrong?

☆☆☆

After returning from Diagon Alley, little Snape and Lily would come to him to study every day.

Now that the two have their own wands, Harry begins to teach them how to use them better.

The magic power belongs to itself, and the magic wand allows you to better control your own magic power output. Generally speaking, it is more stable than magic without a wand. A good magic wand can add buffs to your magic spells, like in his The Elder Wand in his hand, because of its powerful power, will feel twice the result with half the effort when the master uses it.

A wand that fits itself is like a part of the body, and wizards rely heavily on their wands to a large extent.

Rather than teaching them how to use magic wands well, it is better to say that young people are teaching them how to use magic wands to stabilize their own magic power output, how to use their own magic wands to control their own abilities. Pu and Lily did a good job, and Harry paid special attention to training their ability when he taught them in the past.

Generally speaking, wandless magic is more difficult to control, but when you get used to wandless magic and then use wands, you may feel a little awkward. Harry is a little worried about this, but the two children have proved it with facts. their talent for magic.

It would give them an even bigger advantage if they could later switch back and forth between wandless magic and using a wand.

But compared to Lily, Harry's requirements for little Snape were obviously stricter.Perhaps it was because he knew that the boy's journey in the future would be ten thousand times more difficult than that of his mother who died young.

Then again, when Snape cast the Patronus Charm in the wand shop that day, Harry was secretly surprised.

In the wand shop, he took a closer look and found that it was indeed a silver substance related to the Patronus. Later, he thought about it, and finally remembered that he had said about the Patronus Charm more than a year ago. At that time, Lily was a little curious about Azkaban. When she asked, she heard that there were dementors. Harry casually said that the Patronus Charm can protect them from the protection of the Dementors, but because the Patronus Curse is relatively It was difficult, even he did it by accident in the third year, so Harry didn't go into details.

Later, it was probably mentioned in the book he bought?Otherwise, where did little Snape hear about it?

Lily was there when Harry asked Snape.The red-haired girl was obviously also interested in the Patronus Charm, and tried it out on the spot, but no matter how hard she tried, nothing came out of her wand.

"It's because your magic power is not enough, you are too young, I said it before? Magic power will become stronger with age," Harry said softly, "Severus should have practiced it for a while, However, I am afraid that there are not many people in the magic world who can achieve this level at such a young age."

Lily was not discouraged either, but she looked envious of Snape, "I just said that Severus is very powerful, and he can even cast such a difficult spell."

Hearing the compliment from the two, little Snape's face was paralyzed, but the tips of his ears were slightly red.

"Harry, you just said that a successful Patronus can transform into various animal forms, but what about yours? What kind of animal is your Patronus?" Lily asked curiously.

For some reason, Harry didn't answer right away, and his smile was visibly froze.

Lily also noticed something was wrong, she looked at Harry puzzled, "Can't you say this?"

Harry blinked his eyes and was about to take a deep breath when he suddenly felt that someone was pacing back and forth outside the house. Harry sensed it quietly and realized that the person who came was probably just a Muggle.

"Wait a minute," Harry waved his hand, "You guys continue to practice here, and I'll go see who's outside the door."

Seeing Harry's three-step and two-step back, little Snape and Lily looked at each other, because young people always looked like they were running away.

Is there something wrong?

Harry opened the door, the sun was shining brightly outside, and the big trees in the yard swayed with the wind, reflecting dappled circles of light.

Under the bright sunlight, Harry could clearly see the embarrassment and anxiety on the expression of the blond girl standing outside the door.

Probably because of his appearance, the girl was obviously taken aback by him.

Harry didn't know why Aunt Petunia came to him at first, but his mind quickly turned to some things in this memory, and the young man probably understood why he came to find Petunia.

Hasn't his aunt been at odds with him all the time?What made his aunt think he could help her?It seems that he has never been kind to her, has he?

But rather than worrying about that, Harry felt he should return to the problem of Petunia coming to him.

But if that's the case, then he will obviously make things self-defeating——

First of all, I don't want to talk about whether doing so will slap him or even lose face, but the important thing is that his answer will completely push Petunia out of the limit. With Petunia's personality, she will obviously hate herself.

Realizing this, Harry was momentarily at a loss.

——How to deal with it seems to be wrong.

Harry guessed right, Petunia indeed mustered up the courage to come to him for help, she wanted to know if she was really the Muggle these people said, if possible, she also wanted to go to Hogg with her sister Watts.

"Lily, is she there?" The blond girl's voice was originally sharp and sharp, and it always makes people feel particularly uncomfortable when hysterical, but at the moment her voice is very small and sounds very polite, which is quite different from her previous image .

"Are you looking for her?"

"No, no, no, yes, I want to know if she is with you?" She still looked a little nervous.

"She's in there." Harry nodded.

"so be it……"

Harry was still wondering if he should calm her down first, but he just watched Petunia run away like an arrow from the string.

This time Petunia just asked about Lily, but obviously this was not her purpose, so if he really asked him to help, what should he do?Harry stood at the door, trying hard to think of a countermeasure——

We can't directly clarify the matter, as long as the two children in the room don't realize this fact, will Petunia's resentment be relatively small, or it will only fall on him.Anyway, Petunia didn't like him in the first place, and he didn't need her to like him.As long as it doesn't embarrass Lily, how can it be done so that the two children won't find out?

While Harry was still thinking, the door behind him was suddenly opened, and little Snape stood at the door and looked out.

"Who is it? Why is there no one?" Because he waited for a long time, he wanted to come out to see what happened.

"He left when I came out," said Harry, turning around with a smile. "Maybe it was a prank? Let's go inside."

When Harry entered the room, he took another Charms textbook from the bookshelf in the living room.

"Back to the topic, let's continue to preview the content in your textbook."

☆☆☆

A few days later, Penny came again.

Lily was going out shopping with the Evans couple that day, but Harry and Snape were dealing with potions in the cellar.

Harry felt it immediately when Petunia came.Because usually he rarely came here, if it was the Evans couple, they would usually ring the doorbell, and only Petunia would linger at his door.

Harry asked Snape to continue to deal with it, and he went up to see it himself, and he didn't specifically tell him not to come up—mainly because he was afraid that saying so would arouse Snape's curiosity.

"Do it well," but because he was a little worried that something he didn't want to see would happen, so he said such a sentence. "Don't try to be lazy, I'll check later."

Petunia didn't hesitate for a long time this time, and said what she wanted to say: "Can you help me ask that school," but obviously she couldn't let go, "It's Hogwarts , can you write them a letter for me, I want to go to school with Lily..."

Harry was stunned for a moment—he hoped his reaction would be more natural—then hesitantly said to the blond girl, "Yes, you can, but aren't you more than a year older than Lily?"

Petunia nodded cautiously, probably sensing something, she asked hesitantly, "Why do you ask that?"

"As far as I know, Hogwarts has a list. If you have magical powers, it will send you an invitation letter when you are 11 years old. If you are older than Lily, then..."

"Could it be..." Petunia's face flushed red, "Some missing parts?" She said with a glimmer of hope.

Of course, Harry would not immediately tell her that it was impossible, he just said: "I don't know about this either, but if you have any doubts, I can help you pass the letter to them and ask."

"Really?" Petunia's expression brightened.

On the contrary, Harry became more and more anxious, "It's true, but..."

"Then you can ask for me, can you?" Petunia didn't seem to hear the turning point behind him.

Harry nodded silently.

Petunia made another request, "Then today's matter... can you not tell anyone."

"Of course," Harry nodded, "I promise, I won't say it."

Penny's complexion has improved, but it seems that the good things are doubtful. "You really won't say it?"

"Absolutely not." Harry swore, holding up three fingers, "In God's name."

Petunia nodded and left quickly, while Harry returned to the house. When he walked down the cellar, little Snape was concentrating on handling the potion ingredients.

Harry secretly calculated and liked. According to the speed at which the boy processed the potions before he left, the quantity on the table should match the time he left. In this way, the boy should not have time to go up and hear them the words said.Thinking of this, Harry felt a little relieved.

Petunia definitely didn't want little Snape and Lily to know about this. If it got out from him, then Petunia would definitely hate them for the rest of their lives.But on the other hand, if he handles it well, he should be able to minimize the damage of this matter.

——It should be... no problem, right?

Others always said that it was not he who was looking for trouble, but that trouble came to him, which was true.

☆☆☆

A few days later, Petunia came to him with a letter and asked him to send it out.

Harry did as he did, but after doing so, he regretted it a little.

Can he really do this when he knows things will never go his way?

What if the letter is really sent back, and Petunia still doesn't give up?Or what would she think too much about?

From previous experience, Harry always felt that things might not go as smoothly as he thought, but she didn't seem to know anything when she looked at the expressions of Lily and Snape.

Because he promised Petunia—of course there are other reasons—it is impossible for him to take the initiative to say so, but if he doesn't say it, will things develop in the intended direction? After all, in history, Petunia's letter The letter was discovered by Snape Jr., so even if he didn't interfere, Snape Jr. might still have found the letter.

Harry was a little worried, so he could only keep things secret.

But if little Snape found out, he would tell himself first instead of Lily directly, right?In this way, he would have a chance to tell little Snape not to bring this matter up as an argument, and the behavior of sneaking into other people's rooms to search for other people's things is not advisable in itself.

Harry's calculation was very good, but he had calculated thousands of times, and he did not expect that the person who discovered this was not Snape, but Lily herself.

When Harry came to this world for 20 days, Dumbledore replied a letter to Petunia like in history, but Petunia didn't say anything or tell Harry, just hid in the room and read the letter secretly.

Even Harry hadn't seen the owl fly to Evans' house, so he had no idea about it.

The content of the letter was of course a polite refusal, because Petunia was a Muggle herself, so the result was doomed early on.And at this time, Penny didn't show anything wrong.She didn't look for Harry again, but she was obviously more eccentric about magic than before.

Lily would avoid her sometimes, she dared not mention anything about magic in front of Petunia.

It was accidental to find the letter from Hogwarts to Petunia. Petunia hid it in an iron box under the bed. She had a hunch that it was well hidden, but they usually didn't move there.But when Mrs. Evans and Lily were cleaning Petunia's room that day, they took out everything from under the bed.Lily recognized the box, and it contained the memories of her and Petunia's childhood. Lily felt a little nostalgic, so she opened it to take a look.

And then...it just happened.

Lily saw the letter in the tin box with the Hogwarts seal, because the envelope looked exactly the same as her own, at first she thought Petunia had hidden her letter, but when she opened it, she saw that I found Penny's name clearly written in the letter.Of course she knew that it was not good to just flip through other people's things, but she couldn't hold back her curiosity.

Just as she was twitching whether to open the letter, Petunia appeared at the door of the room panting.

Of course, she also saw the letter in Lily's hand.

"Who told you to go through my stuff? The Potter?" Petunia screamed at Lily after snatching the envelope.

Lily: "...What Potter? I don't have one, I just want to see our previous stuff..." She subconsciously said, "Then what is this?"

Petunia: "Potter must have told you, right?"

"Petunia, be reasonable, Harry didn't say anything to me," and the big question was, "What does it matter to Harry?"

But Petunia obviously couldn't listen to anything.

The author has something to say: This chapter has too much information, so the name is awkward Unknown, and the core of James's wand is also unknown, but it is indeed mahogany. As for Snape's, it is not said at all.

I only found in other places that Snape's wand was made of birch, and the core is still unknown. The official answer [but my friends and I really can't find it/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

So the last chapter about Lily's stick core being unicorn hair is my original setting.

For convenience, I will probably make the following settings in the future, because generally the cores used in Ollivander's wand shop are dragon heart tendon, unicorn hair, and phoenix tail feathers, because the latter is the rarest. So I think the magic wands of the three are probably not the phoenix tail feathers, so it is probably the dragon heart tendon and unicorn hair to choose...

unicorn

Generally speaking, unicorn hair produces the most coordinated magic and is the least susceptible to magic fluctuations and blockages.Wands with unicorn horn cores are the most difficult to adapt to the Dark Arts.They are the most loyal of all wands, and always remain steadfast in their attachment to their first owner, whether the wizard is highly accomplished or not.

In general, dragon heart tendons make for the most powerful wands that are best suited for fire magic.Learning magic is much faster with a dragon wand than with other wands.However, if the original user is defeated, they will change allegiance.They always have strong affection for the current owner.

The dragon wand is the wand most likely to be used to use the dark arts, although it is not inclined to do so for its own reasons.

——The above information comes from pottermore

When making my settings, it probably corresponds to the above explanation. I will make the core of Lily and James’s sticks be unicorn hair, while the core of the professor’s sticks is dragon heart tendons...I believe you can all see why.

ps: In the future, if Rowling announces the full version of the information, it will be revised.

Thank you Xiaomengwufengjingyuan for the landmines, I feel a little embarrassed that you voted too much (⊙3⊙)
