[HP] Illusion

In fact, after leaving the castle, Harry realized that it was not a wise move to follow the two. On the one hand, he had to pay attention to the extremely difficult snow under his feet, and on the other hand, he had to be careful not to get lost or be spotted by the two people in front of him. .

—but he just couldn't stop.

Lily was right in front of her eyes, and little Snape was also there. I don't know why the faces of the two of them are not very good today. This is completely opposite to the clear sky above their heads, as if there is a dark cloud covering the warm sunlight. , leaving only a dark shadow.

Not good.

Soon, Harry found that his hunch was right.

From the very beginning, he didn't follow too closely. It was not an easy task to keep wiping his own footprints without a trace in the invisibility cloak. It wasn't until the two of them stopped and sneaked forward that they realized I heard the words of the two, as well as the quarrel between the two.

What troubled Harry was that little Snape kept kicking the snow in his direction, Harry didn't think he did it on purpose, but after the boy's movements increased, the snow flakes didn't change. Little splashed on the Invisibility Cloak and fell, because they were a short distance away, so Harry didn't think Snape could notice this little detail.Harry didn't take it too seriously at first, but later the boy's movements became bigger and bigger, and Harry had no choice but to sway to avoid more and more snow shards.

The two of them were not particularly blushing and thick-necked, but the sense of tension was getting stronger, and little Snape himself was also very strange. When Harry had been following him before, he had a black face and said nothing. He left without even listening to the conversation between Lily and James.

Harry followed the boy all the time, and he found that the boy had been wandering aimlessly, which made Harry a little puzzled.

It wasn't until the boy collided with Lily at a corner that his confusion ended.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Harry had to admit that, in a way, little Snape was right.

The boy and Lily have their own opposing positions. Lily can't understand the thoughts of little Snape, but little Snape uses another way of heart-to-heart to tell her a cruel reality——

From Lily's point of view, the world should be black and white, but little Snape didn't think so.

They can be friends in private, but because the colleges and identities of the two are different, there is already a gap in front of them. Differences and ideas may make the two go further and further apart. far, or even never see again.

Black magic and white magic are not opposed to each other. It cannot be said that one is more useful than the other. There are many black magics that, if used properly, can become a life-saving tool to protect oneself, rather than an evil force that harms others.This is what Harry once said to young Snape.

Come to think of it, it has been so many years, and the boy still remembers it.

From the very beginning, Harry said that he is not against the study of black magic, as long as he does not indulge in it and does not use such power to harm others, then in essence, such power can make himself stronger, as if Harry did not Can't believe Dumbledore, the world's greatest white wizard, didn't even know a single black magic.

Things are always relative.

He didn't say such a thing to Lily, because he knew that Lily didn't need it, and Lily would enter Gryffindor. In such an environment, you will be excluded by others.In fact, in a place like Gryffindor, they would still know these things when they should know them.After all, it is impossible for them not to grow up all the time and still live at the age when they are protected by others.

But Slytherin is different. Only a place like Slytherin that advocates power and blood is particularly easy to lose one's way.

Dumbledore also once lost his head because of "for the greater good"-not everyone can choose the right way to move forward at the beginning. Harry taught Snape by example, telling him not to get lost In these illusory temptations.He wanted little Snape to remember, but Harry wasn't sure what he was thinking right now.

In fact, he had been away from them for too long, and there were many things that he could not fully control. Now he could only hope that when Snape was young, the boy had already followed his ideas.

In fact, Harry never worried about Lily from the very beginning, so he focused more on listening to and analyzing Snape's words.

When Lily noticed something strange about little Snape and insisted on it, Harry could see that little Snape was indeed a little more flustered than before.

He even deliberately didn't answer Lily's words because he didn't want to talk about that topic with Lily.

At this time, the fine snow in the sky fell gently, fluttering like feathers, and finally fell on them.Harry didn't dare to move, he was afraid that if he moved, his whereabouts would be leaked, but if he didn't move, Xiaoxue would be fine now, if the snow started to fall heavily, then his invisibility cloak would immediately show his original shape.

The light snow fragments fell on the hair of the two boys and girls without hats. After a while, both of them had snow flakes as white as fine sand between their hair.

After she stopped abruptly in the middle of that sentence, Lily looked at little Snape hesitantly, and she didn't know how to continue.She sometimes felt that that person had become a taboo topic between the two of them.From the beginning, they could still talk about him occasionally, and then she found that every time they talked about that person, little Snape's mood would be particularly depressed, and then he began to avoid those topics and words, and then... just There is no more.

Lily felt that young Snape still missed him after years of not hearing from that person.

Otherwise, he wouldn't return to that person's house every summer vacation, and stay there most of the time.

She misses him too, but she won't be like little Snape—in fact, she can't describe what it feels like, but she knows that the two have different feelings for Harry, so it should be like this That said, there is a big difference.

If little Snape didn't hear those conversations, then tell him after she confirms, so that little Snape won't be disappointed, right?

"By the way," just as the two were silent, little Snape looked at the snow, then slowly raised his head to look at Lily, "We don't want to go to Hogsmeade together anymore," they went together The number of times they met was not too many, and most of them were arranged to meet somewhere in Hogsmeade. Now that Snape made such an invitation, Lily was really a little dazed.

"Are we still good friends?" Lily asked softly.

"Of course we're best friends," said little Snape.In fact, he'd been admitting it, ever since they'd both become Harry's friends.

But sometimes, as long as they are friends, their ideas must be completely consistent. Even husband and wife may not be able to do this, let alone just friends.He didn't know how much Lily could understand, but he had said all he wanted to say.What should be heard, should be heard too, right?

"Why did this happen all of a sudden? If it was only because of Gryffindor and Slytherin, we should have cut off contact a long time ago." It is true that the rumors have been a little tight recently, but it is not enough for Snape to have such thoughts, especially the other party. He also admitted that they are best friends, "Is it because of Potter?" Lily couldn't think of any other reason because she had just met James.

"You think highly of him, don't you?" Little Snape pouted, as if he wasn't very interested in it.

"you……"

Lily blinked her emerald eyes, and looked at young Snape, only to realize that he was watching her too.

Lily touched her hot ears subconsciously, adjusted her breathing secretly, and collected herself.

In fact, from the very beginning, little Snape didn't target anyone at all, which she knew very well. On the contrary, when they met later, Sirius held great malice towards little Snape. The four of them were particularly bad towards little Snape, and then little Snape formed a relationship with their comrades, and Lily could see that little Snape hated James and Sirius more and more. If there is a "most", then Snape must hate James even more.

At this point, Lily saw very clearly that even though they had no possibility of becoming friends at the beginning, there were quite a few Slytherins and Gryffindors in the same class, and little Snape actually He didn't reject the contact with James, but gradually, little Snape stopped talking to James, and later they became hostile to each other, and the malicious exchanges became more and more.

"I'm not wrong, am I?" Little Snape said. "A man like him, why?"

Lily felt that his tone was too much, and Harry, who was standing aside and eavesdropping, had long been accustomed to hearing the man's harsh comments about himself and his father, so he didn't respond to Snape's words at all.

"So what kind of person do you think he is?" Little Snape rarely commented on a person, at least Lily had never heard him say so.

"I can only say that I have to advise you to avoid contact with him. This person is arrogant, arrogant, doesn't take discipline seriously, and likes to show off, because he can become the focus of everyone's attention. Such a person , will you cause less trouble? If you have too much contact with him, then trouble will definitely find you." The rare Snape spoke goldenly.

Lily really didn't know what expression to make at the moment when she heard Snape kept berating James. If she didn't know that Snape was really upset with James, she would feel that the boy said something to him. This person is definitely envious and jealous.

"Oh, he also likes to treat other people's things as his own..." Little Snape added suddenly, and Lily could even hear the resentment in his tone.

Lily didn't understand right away, "What do you mean by that?"

Little Snape muttered several times, "It's nothing..." he finally said reluctantly.

"If there is no evidence, you can't say that..." Lily doesn't like other people making up out of thin air, she believes it is her own eyes, "Why do you say that?"

Little Snape didn't speak, the expression on that thin face was restrained, it looked a little distorted.

"Severus?" Lily became angry again, "If you don't have evidence, you shouldn't have said that, it's not right!"

"Have you seen his Quidditch match?" Snape's voice was not loud.

Harry was a little curious as to why he suddenly brought up Quidditch, but there was a hint of displeasure in Snape's voice when he said it.

"I've seen it." Lily said honestly, James is Gryffindor's Seeker, and his strength is at the top of Hogwarts. Snape said before that James loves the limelight, largely because he Performance in Quidditch. "But what does that have to do with what you said?"

"I've seen the moves he did before the competition," he said in a low voice. "There was a very difficult move. When he came down, everyone applauded him. He said that move was his original creation. -"

"Is there a problem with that action?"

Harry's palms were sweating a little, and his heart beat a little faster.

"It's not like that at all." Little Snape realized that his voice was a little louder, so he consciously narrowed it down, "I've seen that action before."

Lily looked at little Snape blankly.

"...I have done it before." He said after a long time.

"You mean..." Lily's eyes widened, and Snape's anger was reflected in those beautiful emerald green eyes.

Harry found his heart felt like it was going to jump in his throat.

"Isn't this treating other people's things as your own?" Little Snape's voice was trembling, and when he mentioned this matter, his emotions were much more intense than before.

Harry: "..."

In fact, intellectually, Harry knew that Snape probably really misunderstood James—but it never occurred to him that he was the one who misunderstood him.But from an emotional point of view, young people can't tell what it's like in their hearts.

It had been four years since he taught them how to fly last time, and little Snape still remembered the movements he made, even he himself didn't quite remember which movements he made casually.

Lily didn't expect this to happen, and she was speechless for a while. After a long time, she said, "Maybe he really came up with it himself. You know, he flies so well..."

Little Snape fell silent again.

Lily looked at his livid face, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

This time it was Snape who took the initiative to mention Harry, and he could even remember the details.

But at the same time, she felt a little uneasy, because little Snape really cared about Harry very much.So this time she must not tell him about the Hog's Head.
