HP solves the mystery

England abolished the ID system in 1952, and now relies on birth certificates and home addresses to identify minors.

Severus thought about using a 'Confusion Charm' to confuse a lawyer and ask him to help with the transfer of property, but this spell was only learned in the sixth grade, and his outlook on things did not allow him to do so.

Spider Tail Alley is covered with snow in winter, so you may not be able to see much. However, in summer, it is really smelly and full of sewage. Fortunately, there are more jobs in summer, and there are fewer idlers and lazy people. Otherwise, those who hide in the dark People who live with you will cause a lot of trouble.

As soon as he came back, he cast several more spells on the house in Spider End Lane. The previous spells disappeared over time. He was not at home for several months, and the furniture in the house looked even more dilapidated.

There was a big temperature difference between day and night in London in July, so Severus went out to pay the utility bill, otherwise he would have to face no electricity again.

England in 1976 was a time of inflation and currency devaluation.

He was holding the gold galleons he earned from consigning potions in Diagon Alley, but he was actually reluctant to exchange them for pounds. Gold was always more valuable than banknotes, but he had to do so in order to survive.

After changing all the light bulbs in the room, the room was bright, and the projection on the sofa with rough edges gave off a warm feeling.

As for why you don't use a wand to complete your homework, well, there are no live things at Hogwarts...

He patiently used magic to repair and replace the worn-out furniture, windows and bedsheets in the house. He was busy until the sun was almost setting, and then the house was completely renewed, making it truly feel like home.

Severus planned to paint the wall again. Anyway, with magic, he didn't need to use a ladder, he could just paint it with white paint.

It is worth mentioning that when he was cleaning up the garbage in the kitchen and preparing to renovate it, he discovered an upturned stone.

I didn't take it seriously at first, until I found out that it was hollow, I opened it with doubts, and saw a black-covered diary inside.

Severus touched the rolled-edge diary, rummaged through the memories in his mind, and soon found the answer.

This is the diary belonging to the original mother, Eileen Snape.

When the original person was a child, he saw that every time he was beaten by his father, his mother would hold him and cry while writing a diary. However, as time passed and he was beaten more times, the diary disappeared. It turned out to be here.

Severus opened the first page with curiosity, wanting to clear up the doubts in his heart, and at the same time unravel the original confusion when he was a child.

As a witch's mother, why is she willing to be beaten by her father... obviously... it's obviously just a matter of a curse...

The beginning of the diary records the happy life when he was newly married to Tobias Snape. The middle part is when he went bankrupt and moved to Spider End, started drinking and beating people, complaining and incomprehensible, and finally got stuck in a quagmire and couldn't escape. pain of.

"I'm really useless. Tobias only drank two bottles of wine today... Why did he call me a witch? Does he know my identity... This is impossible! I obviously hid it very well!"

"He found out about my identity as a witch! He also said that Sev was a little monster, no, that's not the case. He even said that Sev was our little baby before... He actually started beating his son... No, just hit me. Already…”

"He woke up and apologized to me, saying he shouldn't have hit me, but it really hurt... what should I do... Sifu came and asked me why I was crying... and imitated me in blowing his wounds while he was snoring. …”

"Here it comes again, here it comes again, ah ah... Dad, I was wrong... I should have listened to you... I shouldn't have come out privately..."

She was both proud and fearful of her identity as a witch, but the recent government publication of "The Witch's Hammer", coupled with her husband's abuse, blamed her bankruptcy on her as a witch, thinking that she was the cause of misfortune, and Since she couldn't use her wand, her attitude became increasingly bad.

(We all know that witch refers to "witch", "witch", witch can also mean someone you hate. Sometimes the word "Bitch" is used to insult women, which is as annoying as using 'whore' (prostitute) .”)

"I have been firmly tied to the current gloomy life. I now hate it and hate it, but I can't live without it. I have fallen too deep and can't turn back. I don't know how... But Severus can't do this...it's all my fault..."

The words are full of inseparable sorrow. The words on the page are very scrawled, and the edges of the fonts are a bit blurry. They may have been written while crying after being beaten, and there is a faint trace of blood on them.

From this point on, the content gradually decreased, and it was not until the original student entered school in 1971 that the notes came to an abrupt end.

Severus slowly closed the notebook and rubbed his sore eyes, not knowing what to think.

It can only be said that it is self-inflicted. In 1959, the Magical World's "Secrecy Act" and "Twenty-Five Rules for Interacting with Muggles" were not as loose as they are now. At that time, the first generation of the Dark Lord was defeated, and the Magical World and the Muggle World The relationship was tense, and if a wizard married a Muggle, he would have to put away his wand and cut ties with the wizarding world.

Later, when Eileen was a child, she talked about the magical world and taught dark magic, all because the policy was relaxed.

Moreover, whenever Aileen revealed the slightest thought of leaving, even if he fought hard and went out to eat dirt and pick up garbage, he would still leave this home that brought him countless dark and unpleasant memories.

It's a pity that until her death, Irene didn't reveal anything about it, which made the original person think that her mother had unresolved feelings for her alcoholic father and completely abandoned him.

"Okay, Mr. Snape, at least now, you know that mother Eileen loves you..." Severus touched his heart and whispered.

After sitting there for a while, he put the diary aside, stood up, and continued to clean the kitchen with his wand. He couldn't always spend money to eat out. The right way was to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

The wind in the summer evening is very cool, and through the bright glass windows, you can clearly see the pedestrians passing by in windbreakers.

When passing by dim street lights, thinly dressed women hiding in the dark, asking prices when people in windbreakers pass by. The depressed society has left them with no choice but to find another way to make a living.

Severus was sitting in the living room and flipping through the cookbook "Mediterranean Cuisine" that he saw in a Muggle bookstore. However, some of the ingredients in it were missing, and the book was still 20 years old. He felt dizzy after reading it. .

He felt that as a wizard, he should learn from the house elves at Hogwarts and use magic props to cook, such as learning "The Magic of Baking Bread", "Magic for Your Cheese" and "Conjuring a Cheese". The table becomes a feast! ", so that he would not starve to death in the house in Spider End Lane.
