Hogwarts: I am the White Lord

"Severus," Lily did not directly answer Snape's question, but brought up an unrelated topic, "Do you know Catherine Jones from Gryffindor? A seventh-year girl."

Without waiting for Snape to reply, she continued, "She died, along with her parents, over the Christmas holidays, because her Muggle-born wizard father spoke out against You-Know-Who and the Dark Mark was hanging over her house for a long time."

"Besides that, there are many students who have lost their families, including Taylor from Hufflepuff, Hughes from Ravenclaw, Thomas from Gryffindor, and so on."

"There are too many victims. I cannot list them all. The reason they were victimized is very simple. It is because they are Muggle wizards, the Mudbloods mentioned by the You-Know-Who."

"Also," Lily's voice became a little higher, "if you watch the Muggle news, you'll know that Muggle villages have been disappearing. The news reports are very interesting - natural disasters, tornadoes, earthquakes, and so on."

"I'm really curious, why natural disasters have occurred so frequently in the past two years, and after the disasters, those villages couldn't even find the remains of Muggles."

"We all know the truth very well. We don't need any evidence to conclude that it was done by the You-Know-Who and his army of Death Eaters."

Harry was almost stunned as he listened to the evil deeds one after another.

How many people would it take for a whole village of Muggles to disappear? The key point is that there is more than one Muggle village.

This was the first time he had directly felt the cruelty of the last wizarding war and the brutality of Voldemort and his men.

I finally understood why almost no one in the entire wizarding world dared to call Voldemort by his name, and instead called him the mysterious man.

"Severus, the war has begun. Whether you like it or not, you have joined the Death Eaters' ranks. As a Muggle wizard, I am naturally on the opposite side of you."

"Lily, it's not like that. We are not enemies. We are good friends..."

"Severus," Lily shook her head, "This time, because you wanted to see me again, you joined the Death Eaters to save your life."

"If one day, the mysterious person ordered you to kill Muggle wizards, what would you do? Would you refuse? Can you refuse?"

"I really can't imagine how I would treat you if your hands were stained with the blood of innocent people."

"So..." Snape's voice became hoarse, "I should refuse the You-Know-Who's invitation and face his killing curse, even if I never see you again?"

"I obviously...I obviously went to Knockturn Alley to help you find a gift. Why don't you understand me?"

"None of your assumptions have happened yet, why don't you want to give me a chance?"

After being rejected by Lily repeatedly, Snape's emotions became extreme. He could no longer suppress his anger and roared at Lily.

"Will you only be happy if I die, you stinky bastard..."

"Severus!!!" A sharp shout came from the side, interrupting what Snape was about to say.

Harry turned his head and found that Sebastian in his memory was looking at Snape seriously: "Be careful what you say, don't let anger get the better of you, some words can't be taken back once they're spoken."

Snape suddenly shuddered, as if waking up from a dream. He looked at Sebastian gratefully, then turned his head and stammered an apology: "I'm sorry, Lily, I didn't mean that. I was a little... too excited..."

"It's okay, Severus," Lily sighed softly, "I understand how you feel, and I don't blame you no matter what you say now."

"To be honest, I don't know what choice you will make when facing the mysterious man. I have no right to interfere with your choice."

"But if it were me, I would never bow my head even if I died. Severus, do you remember the red story that Sebastian told us?"

Red story?

Harry turned his head to look at Professor Swann and found that he was rubbing his brows and looked like he had a terrible headache.

Seeing this scene again, Sebastian was helpless.

At the beginning, myself, Mia, Lily and Snape were all good friends and we often talked about everything together.

After the You-Know-Who began to use violence against Muggle wizards and Muggles, Lily felt the same way and was very pessimistic for a while.

At Mia's request, Sebastian told Lily a lot of inspirational stories to encourage her, telling her not to be pessimistic, to regain her confidence, and to make her believe that the mysterious man would definitely be defeated by everyone.

Lily listened and regarded those brave people as role models.

In her words, although those heroes are Muggles, they are more Gryffindor than Gryffindor.

She wants to learn from those heroes and fight bravely against the mysterious man's team, even at the cost of her life.

Sebastian could understand Lily's thoughts. She regarded the mysterious man as a reactionary like in the past. In this way, Snape becoming a Death Eater was like becoming a traitor.

Under the influence of the red story, Lily's character became much stronger. She could not accept that her closest friend would make a similar choice of surrender.

"Severus, I just...I just want my significant other to be someone who won't bow down to You-Know-Who, someone who can wave his wand at You-Know-Who bravely."

Lily's face was filled with desolation, and her eyes were filled with crystal tears, but she was holding them back so that they wouldn't fall.

"You know, Severus. I have already made up my mind to join the front-line battle against the mysterious man after graduation. I was expecting you to join me, but now it's too late."

"Cut off contact. There are too many eyes in the school. If the You-Know-Who knows that you still like Muggle wizards and the Mudbloods he hates, he will torture you..."

Before she finished her words, she turned her head sharply, spoke the command to the Fat Lady, and ran into the Gryffindor common room without looking back.

The scene changed, and Harry came to a dense forest. It was a wizard battlefield, with dozens of wizards fighting together.

One side was composed entirely of people in black clothes and black robes, they were Voldemort’s Death Eaters, and the other side consisted of Aurors and some ordinary wizards.

Harry saw his father at a glance. He kept casting spells and fighting with two Death Eaters, looking very brave.

The battle lasted for quite some time until Dumbledore and Voldemort arrived and finally stopped.

After a dizzy spell, Harry returned to the office again. He lowered his head and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

It turned out that this was the reason why his mother and Professor Snape separated.

His father won his mother's favor because he bravely fought against the Death Eaters.

"Harry," Sebastian patted his shoulder gently, "I usually don't like to mention your father because he bullied his classmates during school, which was really outrageous."

"But, as you can see, he did a pretty good job in the fight against the evil forces of the mysterious man. By the way, your father and mother were on the same team, and they also fell in love at that time."

"People have many sides. It's not convenient for me to judge what kind of person your father is."

"However, there is one thing that never changes: the grudges of the older generation have nothing to do with you, so don't think too much about it."
