[HP] Magic didn't give up on you

On the question of whether to go or not, Snape once hesitated briefly.

For no other reason, as a normal person with a cool head and intelligence well above the average Gryffindor - a vigilant, sharp Slytherin, this is too much like a trap.Sirius Black not only told him to go to the Shrieking Shack, but also told him the secret passage to Hogsmeade; there was a scar on the Whomping Willow, and the Whomping Willow would stop moving with one click.

This notification was too detailed and reasonable, and when it was placed on Sirius Black, it revealed obvious malicious intentions.It's not that Snape didn't see this, he rationally analyzed the pros and cons, and once considered whether to explain it to his friends and listen to other people's opinions.

Lily sure can't.This is between him and Potter, a secret...war, and everyone can know the details, except Lily, he can't let Lily have the slightest opinion of him because of this... Potter is not worth it ,Yes, that's right.

Neither could those in Slytherin.Although they belonged to a society with common ideals and goals, Snape didn't feel like they were really friends.Their pursuit of evil is fanatical... Snape couldn't understand their hot-headed blindness, he watched coldly, and knew that what he really wanted was not the affirmation from the devil, but what he could bring to him What came... Wealth, status, fame, the possibility of being looked up to by others, the opportunity to stand beside Lily with your head up high... It's not the same goal, but the same goal, they are not "companions", but some "accomplices".

As for Eli, he is indeed his friend, even though they are not the one who is best for each other; and Regulus may be counted, he is a real thinking Black, completely different from his brother, in the restaurant. Among the Dead Apostles, it is rare to still maintain a clear mind.If they were told this, they should really be able to put themselves in his shoes and give him some reasonable advice... But Snape knew very well that their advice would always be: don't go.

do not go.Don't step on this kind of trap that is suspicious at first sight, don't touch this kind of trap that you know is deceitful.Don't argue with Sirius Black for this kind of indifference, don't be like a hot-headed Gryffindor, recklessly rushing to follow other people's wishes.

Snape knew they would not understand his hesitation.One of them is Black, and the other is Lestrange. They have noble backgrounds, outstanding appearance, and are popular everywhere... Even though Regulus is only in the third year, he is already the most talented person in the academy. There is no such thing as a popular student, and no one can be like him. He was still studying in school, but he was favored by the Dark Lord and became a glorious Death Eater; even if Eli's current position is elusive, people dare not As he approached, the girls would still secretly look at his back after he passed by. Many people in Slytherin were looking forward to him really standing on their side...

They won't understand.Such a high-class person born with a gold spoon in his mouth will not understand the natural half-blood wizard who has a terrible Muggle father, loves a shining perfect girl, and desperately wants to prove himself. Dislike and inferiority complex.

Snape set off on a quiet night, he carefully controlled his shortness of breath, his heart was beating extremely fast, wearing a cloak, hiding under the unusually bright moonlight, and walked into a dark Forbidden Forest.

I'm violating school rules.He said to himself, but I will become a hero... a hero who caught James Potter, deducted [-] points from Gryffindor, and became famous in Slytherin and even the whole school.How many times they have violated the school rules, they should be punished more severely, and this sanction is about to be brought by him.

Such a vision was too good, Snape stepped forward firmly, the cloak whipping a decisive wind at his feet.

In the common room of Gryffindor, Eli hadn't gone to sleep, and was doing his research: he was thinking about how to reproduce the effects of the spell in a small glass ball—it was almost Christmas , he was troubled about what gift to give Penny this year.Although they give gifts to each other every year, this year is different for him... He changed from preparing a gift for a friend to preparing a gift for a girl he likes. The meanings of the two are completely different, and he is also First time experience, be quite cautious about it.

On the modification of magic items, Arthur is a very good discussion partner. He has a strong interest in all Muggle items. After getting to know their family, his understanding of Muggle items no longer depends on floating imagination. Landed a lot.But when it comes to carefully preparing gifts for his sweetheart, Eli feels critically that he is a bit too unromantic-although Arthur has married his sweetheart and has two children, and Eli has not talked about love so far, but He decided to think about it again.

There are not many people who come to the dormitory late like him every day, and Eli is also used to doing his own things alone today.But there seemed to be some unexpected and strange events: the portrait at the door was suddenly pushed and rotated by someone, making some slight noises, which were very obvious in the quiet common room.Eli Xunsheng looked up, but there was no one there, not even a shadow.

Even the ghosts are only translucent... Well, James is out for a night out with his friends again.Eli discovered that his invisibility cloak was very useful when he was in the first grade. After putting it on, unless he bumped into him head-on, there was basically no possibility of being discovered.

Nightcrawlers who disregard the rules.Eli withdrew his gaze and continued to turn the pages of the book, writing down what he thought was instructive on the parchment with the quill.The noise came again; this time from the boys' dormitory building, from which Sirius rushed down, hurried across the common room, unscrewed the portrait as well, and ran straight out the door.

If James and Sirius were going out, it would be odd that they weren't operating together under the cloak.Eli stared at the door of the portrait, and looked a few more times in doubt, but it had nothing to do with him. He lowered his head again and continued to write with a quill.

After writing two more lines, he suddenly stopped and frowned.

... What day is it today, full moon?He remembered that Lupine had been on leave again since the day before yesterday.

Is something wrong with Lupine?After a brief moment of hesitation, Eli stood up and followed - not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, if not, the worst thing for him would be to be caught by Filch, to write a self-criticism or put into confinement; If it was, he could always help a little, anyway.

What needs to be faced is a werewolf in a transformed state.Eli followed Sirius far away, all the way out of the castle, and when he entered the Forbidden Forest, he confirmed his guess.He clenched his wand vigilantly, and couldn't help recalling the spells he had learned in his mind, and which ones could have the effect of self-defense when facing werewolves.

He wasn't sure if the guardian spirit would be effective...but it should be useful to use the patron saint to convey the message. I don't know if Headmaster Dumbledore is in the school. It is definitely no problem to ask Professor McGonagall for help, although he may face confinement later .

Speaking of Transfiguration, a silver shield might help, too, Defense Against the Dark Arts confirmed that it was, and he should be able to conjure a standard standard shield, though he hasn't really transformed it yet.

After entering the Forbidden Forest, James' figure quickly appeared.He tore off his invisibility cloak and hurried forward, the invisibility cloak was in his hand, blown behind him by the wind like a clear banner... It was convenient for Eli, he could now directly Watching the Invisibility Cloak move forward, he followed James to the Whomping Willow tree. He didn't know what he pressed, and the Whomping Willow became quiet.

When Sirius ran under the tree, James just re-emerged from under the tree.His figure appeared again, and this time he was pulling someone—Eli's pupils suddenly shrank in astonishment, and he saw the person James was pulling clearly through the bright moonlight like a veil on a full moon night.

Severus Snape.

Both of them were panting heavily, with the horror of the rest of their lives on their faces.James' glasses were all askew to one side, and he had no time to help them. Snape's sallow face turned pale. He panted heavily, and suddenly drew out his wand - aiming at Sirius Black.

"Werewolf!" he hissed, with a mixture of anger and loathing, fear and hatred on his face.A flash of red light shot out of his wand across the night sky, flashing straight at Sirius, "How dare you - let your classmates face the transformed werewolf - I've seen it all - you It was—premeditated murder—”

Sirius waved his wand swiftly, blocking the spell.Snape's sharp accusation did not make him flustered, and a sneer of indifference appeared on his face.

"Then why did the snot-nosed come here?" he asked sarcastically, his arrogance and disdain hidden in the moonlight, "if you had seen it earlier? Let me think, the snot-savvy knows that he will come to school at night What kind of mentality do you have in the forbidden forest that is forbidden to enter? Eager to catch your classmates, thinking about it like crazy? You see the danger, but you are dazzled by your stupid greed and hatred, knowing that there is danger ahead, Still here? I thought that entering the Forbidden Forest was a sign of life and death. When everyone breaks in illegally, they should know that the next journey is life and death. Why, haven’t you even made this kind of awareness? ?coward."

Snape's expression twisted, he raised his wand like swinging a knife, and slashed down hard.Nothing shot out from the tip of the stick, but the surrounding trees seemed to have been hit by an invisible machete, showing deep knife marks.

"Life and death?" He asked with a sneer, if James hadn't been dragging him, he must have rushed towards Sirius.His expression was distorted, showing deep-seated hatred, anyone could see that at this moment, he hated Sirius even more than Potter, "Ha, let me think, if I was really caught by the Who is it that will drop out of school after being bitten by a werewolf? Some people deliberately murder themselves, but in the end they ask their friends to help him clean up the aftermath—this is really a refined egoistic Black, isn't it? You are really a standard Slytherin. "

The sarcasm and disdain on Sirius' face disappeared, his face darkened, and he also raised his wand.

"Don't use your fame-seeking mind to judge others." He said softly, swiping his wand down with the same force, "I can give all I can for my friends, unlike some people who treat friends like Seeing a dog that can bring you benefits is inferior and despised—want to start a duel here, right? Great, the Forbidden Forest on a full moon night, what a good place.”

"Sirius! Don't!" James snapped, and he had to draw his wand too. "You really went too far this time, knowing that Remus—"

"Except your weapons."

The sudden appearance of the spell made all three of them jump.They stopped immediately, but the wands in their hands were released at the same moment, and they all flew to the dark jungle on the other side.

Someone came slowly out of it, their wands in their hands - and into the moonlight, his figure became clear.When the three people present saw him, they felt inexplicably relieved.

"I don't think it's a good time to duel now." He said flatly, throwing his wands back to James and Sirius respectively, "One against two, I can't believe Gryffindor can do such a shameful thing .”

"Don't meddle those who shouldn't meddle." Sirius said sullenly, and Snape stared at him with the same terrible expression.

"Give me back my wand," he said coldly.

"Don't turn yourself from the victim into the other party responsible for the accident." Eli said calmly, with Snape's terrifying expression on his face, "The spells you invented are somewhat disturbing. Once hit, I'm afraid you'll have to go with them even when you're expelled. They can go to their own homes, and I don't think you can compare with a noble Master Black in that respect."

Snape pursed his lips tightly, his face ugly.They all fell silent, watching Eli walk over step by step, and put away his wand when he came to Sirius.

"Now you have a weapon, I don't." He said calmly to Sirius, "If you think I'm doing something wrong, feel free to fight back."

After speaking, he raised his hand and punched Sirius in the face.

The force was so heavy that it knocked Sirius' face sideways.Sirist paused for a few seconds, then slowly turned his head back, raised his hand to touch the corner of his sore mouth, his eyes were cold, but he smiled.

"For the snotties?" he asked softly with a smile.

"For Remus." Eli said calmly, "I thought, and he thought, that you were friends. He trustingly revealed his secret to you, and he certainly didn't expect you to do it for such a worthless person." , betray him casually."

The author has something to say:

Thanks to Watermelon Bobo for mines, Yu Hengshui for mines x 2~

Let me talk about Sirius as I understand it: I think he is a born rebel, adventurer, and a person who doesn't care about life.Others didn't care, the house-elves didn't care, and his own didn't care.When he gave the motorcycle to Hagrid, he had already decided to die for his friends or be imprisoned for a lifetime. He was a person who didn't care how long he lived, and only wanted to be free every day he lived, so when he was in the fifth grade of HP Living in the safety of Grimmauld Place, I also feel heartfelt pain.

His provocation of Snape this time, putting together the dangerous Forbidden Forest and the night of the full moon, actually gave Snape a choice (rather than forcing him to face the werewolf), but I think he is a A person who can see through Snape's inner contradictory inferiority complex (James can't), so he actually knows that Snape will only choose to go to the appointment, subjectively with malicious intent of watching with a cold eye.He didn't hate Snape enough to kill him, he just really didn't care about life - except maybe James's.

Penny: Punch your friend in the face!

Eli: (punch)

Very obedient, our Eli w
