HP One More Chance.

All his dissatisfaction was replaced by the slap he just slapped the other party.

——I hate you very much, because you made Alice suffer all this.

"...If it wasn't because of Alice, maybe when I found out...you actually killed her again, I would have...killed you mercilessly."

Regulus secretly clenched his fists, but just moved close to Snape's ear, lowered his voice and spoke angrily, deliberately not letting others hear their conversation.

"you……"

Snape stared fiercely at the black-haired boy who was full of resentment towards him, and couldn't say a word for a while, but he didn't expect that in the next second, he suddenly lost all consciousness, leaving only darkness in front of him.

He hugged Alice and passed out together in the principal's office.

The author has something to say: Miss author PS:

Chapter 14 was painful to write (While writing this, God knows I was still in tears from gastroenteritis in the morning...)

☆, 15.1

15.1

The once clear memories in my mind are like images on a revolving lantern, jumping and playing, even though I have experienced all this personally, but in reality, everything has returned to its original form.Ashes to ashes, ashes to ashes, he, Severus Snape, still exists here.

Bringing the comatose and seriously injured Alice to Dumbledore non-stop; Regulus and Eve Hebrew appeared unexpectedly; because of the sudden activation of the illusion technique, he suddenly lost consciousness; and then... In the dream, he knew he was at the Potters' house - from the moment he got there, it all happened again...

Hogwarts at the age of 17, Alice Miku at the age of 17.

One cycle after another.

[But she is already gone. 】

her heart.

The moment he woke up again, he seemed to understand that there was already an immeasurable time and distance between her and him.

"woke up?"

Eve's calm voice came faintly from the corner of the white curtain where the candles were lit.Suddenly, she stood up, raised her hand, and with some difficulty "swiped" the curtains of the large floor-to-ceiling windows behind her and closed them tightly.

It's almost dawn.

She hates seeing the dawn break in the sky, especially at this time, when everyone is drowning in a dream and falling asleep, unconscious.

"Memory, those just now..." Snape looked at her blankly and murmured, "Alice..."

"What happened to Alice?"

She glanced at him with great interest, casually took a glass of water beside her, and handed it to him who had just woken up from the journey of memories, "I'm sorry, although I know you will definitely not say it now, but I Still curious..."

"No," he shook his head lightly, but his eyes were still on the woman who was lying on the bed not far away and hadn't woken up until now: "Then what is it..."

—Is it real, or an illusion?

"You don't believe it?" She raised her eyebrows and said, "But whether the things you see in your dreams are real or not, only you will know the answer."

"..."

He put away the defensive look he had when he first saw her, took a long breath, and after a moment of composure, he said slowly:

"It's Dumbledore who won't let you..."

"No, you think too much."

Eve showed a slight smile. Although the other party's question was a bit sudden, she knew what he wanted to ask her.However, she didn't choose to answer him immediately. Instead, she raised her hand, rubbed her forehead unconsciously, and quietly focused all her eyes on the cold floor of the medical wing.It seemed that some inexplicable symbols were carved on the surface of the plain bricks and tiles, which reminded her of the deep coldness of every inch of land she had walked in the past.

I don't know when and where it was done, but her originally plain white skirt was quietly stained with some mottled dark red traces.

Like blood, scattered there, condensed.

"Perhaps, you and I think the same thing, and I... just happen to hate the Dark Lord more than anyone else, and hope that he will disappear from this world one day."

More than ten years ago, when they were children who couldn't even speak clearly, the Dark Lord had already caused quite a stir in the magic world.It's just that the shocking change quickly subsided, because the rise of the Order of the Phoenix made the darkness that everyone feared disappear in the dawn of dawn.Overnight, the Ministry of Magic had a new view on the Order of the Phoenix. Inside Hogwarts, two forces were gradually forming. Some of the conflicts in the past seemed to have become more out of control since then. more intense.

"Last time, when he appeared, the situation was actually worse than now." She said slowly, "However, that has nothing to do with you now. Now is the time to discuss the matter between you and Alice. At least that's how I feel..."

"What are you hiding?" Snape asked her suddenly and coldly, "You know far more than me...and she knows..."

"The loser has no right to ask about the past of the winner, Mr. Snape."

Unexpectedly, Eve turned around and picked up the bronze hairpin on the small table next to her. Under his gaze, she walked to Alice's bed step by step, and reached out to put the sharp hairpin on the bed. on Alice's neck.

Snape looked at her with wide eyes in surprise, "You..."

"Did you see? She has no room to resist." Eve suddenly laughed, a little hopelessly in the shadows, "This is Alice now, she can't do anything."

"What do you want to do to her?" Snape stood up startled and wanted to walk over to her, "...don't hurt her!"

"No, you shouldn't just be like this at this time," Eve shook her head, and before he was about to come over and grab the hairpin in her hand, she put away the sharp weapon and reached out to stop him from coming over to check on Ellie Silk's move.

"You know? At this moment... what you really need is to ask yourself if you really want to save her—look at that poor Alice Miku, Severus Snape."

"Look at her." Eve whispered forcefully in his ear, "If...she is dead, do you think Alice in the dream will still be real?"

"Never mind." Snape gave her a sideways glance. "She's still here."

"But you, don't be so naive as Alice," Eve laughed more wantonly, as if everything was what she expected, "You know, yes, I know too, so...things have developed here , everyone knows that even if Merlin is reincarnated, there is no way to save the life that has passed away, no matter who that person is."

In this world, anything is possible, except death is irreversible.

——No matter how powerful we are, in the eyes of death, we are just as insignificant as grains of sand.

Perhaps, if he understood, he and she would not be in the situation they are today.

The arrangement of fate often makes you feel extremely unfair.

When you have these good things, it blinds your eyes, making you not know that good things once existed; and when you are about to lose these good things, it binds your limbs, making you unable to move to save everything ;Finally you are done with your powerlessness and guilt, and it begins to replay the memories of the past in front of you bit by bit, using the beautiful past that has passed away to increase your sense of guilt, and even make yourself stronger. Totally loathe myself.

"Mr. Snape, opportunities are not for everyone."

She said so in his ear, she knew what he was thinking at the moment.

——Finally one day you no longer fear and make a choice, only to find that the opportunity has already disappeared.

Irreparable and undoubtedly painful.

"The loser always has his cuteness... So, fortunately, you still have the only chance now."

She sighed softly, got up, walked around the window and walked to a small table in front of the window, took a small dark red box on the table, and handed it to Snape:

"Give you."

—her necklace.

"What on earth do you want..." Snape reluctantly took the box, but did not open it, "I don't understand what you are talking about at all, so what can you do now?"

"In the dream, didn't you already see how everything happened?"

That dream was, after all, a nightmare.For everyone.

He didn't answer her, so she went on talking to herself:

"Think about it, if the person in the dream is not Alice, what about another one, Lily Evans?" She gave him a meaningful look, "You have always loved someone who doesn't love you, but I once knew that you are actually very important to some people..."

She paused, still before Snape could respond, she lowered her head again and continued in a low voice:

"I can't expect you to treat Alice the same as Lily Evans, but at least... As Alice's friend and her sister, I don't want to see her suffer like this again, Sne Mr Pu."

do you understand.

Fate always likes to trick people.

Ever since she took back the snow plum hairpin from Sirius, she had a new idea in her heart.

"Everyone should have the dignity of being alive, no matter who it is... Yes, you said that day, you want us to save her. However, if I save Alice, what I get in return is still her love for you. If you turn a blind eye to the cruel situation that self-destructs like a moth to a flame, if it ends up like this, I would rather... fulfill her wish to die today and let her leave this indifferent world."

——Is it suitable for her to stay here alone?

"She will die alone..."

"No, she wants to survive..." Snapeton muttered in a daze for a moment, "She wants...Even if it's you, you don't have the right to decide her life...I..."

No, it cannot be so.

--"rest in peace."

On the vast snowfield, it was he who chanted the floating spell with a somewhat hoarse voice, and moved Alice from the ground to the center of the lake, allowing her to fall into the icy cold lake in mid-air.

"...I did it all..."

Snape hoarsely buried his cheek in his hands in pain.

Seeing him who had lost his due affection, Eve re-examined all this with indifferent eyes.

"...The only one who can save her has always been you."

It's you, not me, and not anyone else.

Eve whispered into his ear word by word, she stood up again, walked in front of Snape slowly, but suddenly grabbed his lapel fiercely:

"Since you really cared about her, but you let her go in the end, what is that? It's better to let her die quietly alone."

——If you believe in eternity, then she is the only one in your life for you.

"Either... save her, go and rescue her back," she lowered her voice but said clearly in his ear, "or, let me destroy her, and you will stand by here from beginning to end."

"Even if I save her, why should I..." Snape laughed at himself, with indescribable grief besides accusations on his face, "...I am nothing now, I have nothing."

——Even she has already left him.

"What else can I do..." He said with difficulty, subconsciously recognizing his face and no longer looking at the other person, as if afraid that she knew his cowardice and fear.

"To survive, what she needs is her life..."

So……

—You give her your life.

She said it so logically, without leaving any room for it.Suddenly, she transformed a book the size of a dictionary from behind her, and threw it straight to him with a dazed face. On the cover, there was nothing written on it, only a few fragments made with a few symbols that he didn't know. markup.

"Here you are," a perfect parabola appeared in the air, followed by Eve's stern voice:

"Open this book, once you start choosing, you will know what I want to say."

"Book?"

Snape held the boxy book in his hand, but he vaguely felt something strange rising from his heart, "...What is this..."

"I owed something to Alice more than ten years ago." She replied indifferently.

— something owed to her?

"...It's just a book, you mean...you want me to take it to rescue..." He couldn't help asking, but she was planning what to say next.

"No, it's more than redemption."

Eve immediately focused all his eyes on his black eyes, and the golden pupils reflected not only determination but also a trace of unwillingness and remorse.

There was a strong emotion that was evaporating, dissipating, dying in her eyes.

The so-called fate is actually just a play written in the script.As for who the protagonist is, it doesn't seem so important when the end is approaching.

—You can be redeemed, and so can she.

"To save or not to save, it only depends on your one thought, I have already taught you the method, please... try hard to understand..."

Looking back, a smile of pure color like a red rose blooming in the white snow quietly bloomed on her face for a moment, as if to cleanse the breath, but hesitated to speak.

"I think...the relationship between you and her is real."

— at any moment.

Snape was overwhelmed by these words, he didn't understand what she meant by what she said and did, so he could only stare at her—the one lying on the bed.

Alice Miku.

--he loves her?

No, she loves him.

If everything in the dream is true.

Then.

"I don't know if it's true or not."

He murmured, trying to break the stagnant situation, but found that the silent passage of time had made everything futile.

Looking back on the past days, since the day they met, it was obvious that he hadn't and could not have much interest in her as a Ravenclaw.

【"You are just you, I just pass by your side occasionally, passing by."】

He has always thought that he is very clear, and his vision has only one foothold from the beginning to the end - Lily Evans.Even, his positioning of Alice is only a little higher than that of passers-by - he has always thought so, and he never feels that there is anything wrong with him.

But the biggest mistake in this life, isn't that the only way to make a mistake?

When they were studying, everyone knew that the closest he and she got to each other was in the sixth grade, when they had no choice but to form partners in order to win the rare "College Potion Making Contest".Later, the most contact was because she was invited by Lucius, so she had the chance to go to her house every now and then...

that idiot.

Those days were a torment.

Obviously they are all so inconspicuous.

Those fragmented days, those fragmented feelings that belonged to him and her buried in the past.

——However, when he thinks about it now, he is so eager, so eager to go back to the past.

Alice.

"The past...is all in the past."

Although, none of us know what the future will look like.

"At least, for now, she's here...she's here waiting for you."

After a long silence, suddenly, Eve got up and stretched out her hand again to open the heavy curtain of the French window next to Alice's bed.The bright and clear morning has come quietly, everything and the air I breathe are new.Against the soft yet icy morning light, she turned her head and smiled quietly at Alice who was like a sleeping beauty.

——Tomorrow, what is waiting for you may be a new student.

She walked over slowly and sighed:

"...Give you a chance, this time, take away all the guilt."

Regardless, true or false.

The author has something to say:

Originally, there was no PS in this section, but it turned out to be PS.Due to various reasons (such as resentment towards Mr. Author), I have to rewrite 15.1 for some reasons. Of course, I was super upset when I heard the news (but I still accepted it)

==, I have to sit still for a few days and change the text, come on (said to myself)

☆, 15.2

"If you believe in eternity, then she is the only one for you in this life. Why do you care who lives a few decades longer or a few decades less? It is the greatest blessing for her and you in this life that she can be with you .”

"Well-being?"

Snape couldn't help laughing when he remembered what Eve had said to him here a few days ago.

Since he decided to do that, unknowingly, he sat here alone guarding her, so long has passed.Maybe it's a week, maybe it's a month, and then it's like a year for him.

He felt that the life clock before him and her had stopped.

But he was still waiting, aimlessly advancing in the closed and time-lost space.Every day, holding the book that Eve sent Regulus to carry for him from the other courtyard where Alice used to live, in his hand, he looked at it and remained silent.Almost every one of her books is filled with dense notes and notes.

and also.

To his surprise, on the title page of an ordinary potion encyclopedia, she changed to a different kind of ink that still smelled fishy, ​​and wrote a line of small words:

【I'll take all the blame this time.】

——This time, let me take away all the guilt.

At that time, what kind of mood did she have when she wrote this line?sad?despair?Fear?Or, are you so confident that you can really do it?

He couldn't help speculating like this, but he didn't know anything about those things in the past, and he couldn't do anything about it.

"If, more than ten years ago, the first person I met was you instead of her, then... the current you would have already..."

—with me?

No.

You never left.

Gradually, Snape could no longer think about these things, because as soon as each image of the past resurfaced in his mind, they would brutally set off a cold sting and an unstoppable shudder.

The once closed heart was stagnant, and then became turbulent, unable to calm down even for a moment.

--What's wrong with me?

He looked at her unchanging appearance, watched her close her eyes tightly, watched her choose to escape with drowsiness, and unconsciously, a sneer crossed the corner of his mouth;

"If you were awake, would you make fun of me? It turns out that my biggest achievements and failures seem to be because I have been entangled with you in this life."

Alice, Alice.

"Alice..."

He felt a little tired—it has been like this recently, ever since he listened to what Eve said and did that to her, since the moment the contract of life and death was made, he knew that the only thing he could do was to wait He opened his eyes and woke up slowly.

But all this may be just a bubble, a fantasy.Although he would rather believe that these will be true.

He held her increasingly cold hand, leaned on the side of the bed and gradually fell asleep.

The wind blows the pages of the book, but the story behind is blank.

Thered thread has been saturated insigh and secretill today

[To this day, the red thread of fate is soaked in sighs and secrets]

It can never be tied back

【Irreversible】

The path we walked along together is broken off forever

【The road we walked together is broken forever】

Let's say, if I were spared to be left alone

[If, I said I was afraid of being left alone]

would we ever reach happy ending

[Will we reach a happy ending? 】

-------------------------------------------------- -

A vague sobbing sound came from the bottom of the night. In the empty attic, the skylight was open, and the faint moonlight was pouring into this small space. Someone was curled up in the corner, hugging his arms. Knees, buried his head in his arms and wept.

Snape lightened his steps, and gradually approached there step by step.

He knows who it is.

"...Alice?"

The man didn't respond to him, but he was taken aback by his voice, and didn't make any more reactions, just raised his head in surprise—a tear-stained face, red and swollen eyes, a haggard look and a pervasive look. With hazy eyes.

is her.

"Alice." He choked up and called her name again.

He walked up to her, knelt down in front of her, and hugged her tightly.

She was actually very thin, but her shoulders were shaking all the time, as if she had been crying for too long and was sobbing.

like a child.

"Don't cry, I'm here."

He closed his eyes, gently kissed her tearful eyes, and said so softly in her ear, in a tone he had never had before.

"...Sev..."

But for some reason, she cried even more because of this, and in the end, she simply threw herself on him, and cried in his arms uncontrollably.

"...Alice."

He had no choice but to pat her on the back lightly, but he didn't know what to do so that she would stop crying.

"...Siv......Siv..." She seemed speechless, and could only repeat his name over and over again, clumsily.

--Fool.

"Look at me, I'm here."

He let her go suddenly, and raised her hand to hold her face, so that she had to focus all her eyes on him alone, and her eyes met.

"Don't cry, I'm still here, nothing happened, we... are still here."

—We are still together.

"... um... um." She could only nod her head, but she still cried like a child, holding his sleeve with her weak hands, and asked softly:

"...Don't go..."

— don't go.

【Iwannatellyou.】

[Do you hear me not? 】

-----------------------------------------------

The turmoil caused by the Death Eaters gradually subsided, and the wizarding world gradually lifted its initial vigilance.

Aside from some of the Death Eaters on the leaked list, most of those known to have been involved in this event have either been captured or, luckily, died on the way out.The spokesperson of the Ministry of Magic released news about the execution of these people not long ago. Although most people do not agree with the current handling method, judging from the current situation, it seems that there is really no other way.

Considering the seriousness of the incident, a public trial would only cause complications, so the Ministry of Magic finally decided that all matters should be decided internally.

Exile, imprisoned in Azkaban, execution, choose one of the three.

When he heard the news, Snape, who was still safe and sound in the Hogwarts medical wing, knew that it was impossible for him to have his name on that list.

"For Dumbledore, asking the Ministry of Magic to sell him favors and erase your names will not be more difficult than getting rid of that person."

Eve was patiently stirring the colorless pot of raw bone water in front of her with a large spoon in both hands on the workbench.Next to her, who was watching her busy but didn't intend to help, was the second young master of the Black family, Regulus, who just ran from the fireplace with a newspaper in the morning.

"However, even if the principal doesn't do this, none of our names will appear there." Regulus played with the locket in his hand, showing a noncommittal smile, "You would have thought of it, at least... Snape and Senior Lucius, they had long been suspected by the Dark Lord and excluded from the operation. Of course, it could not be ruled out that the Ministry of Magic would still know that they were in fact Death Eaters, but now it was clear... business as usual. "

Anyone who knew Lucius Malfoy in the past knew that he would never fail to leave a way out for himself, not to mention, this time he left more than one way out.When he was confessed that he was a Death Eater, he immediately told what he knew and produced enough evidence to prove that he had passively accepted these Death Eaters from the beginning to the end. The "assistance" he requested, together with the list...

——Yes, the list obtained by the Ministry of Magic is actually "provided privately" by Lucius.

"The 'Lucius' you mentioned is a very powerful person?"

Eve casually looked up at him, asked a few words, turned off the fire by the way, and put the potion into the bottle after it cooled down.

"……I do not know……"

Regulus turned his eyes to the open workshop door meaningfully, "Since it's all over...now?" He smiled, "Who knows, as long as he's still alive, he's a winner."

Indeed, the past can no longer stand up to scrutiny.

"yes."

Eve took off her robe, ignored the young man with crossed legs, took out her pocket watch and counted the time, then took out Alice's medicines one by one, put them on the tray and prepared to take them out to Snape.

As a result, there were vague sounds of vessels colliding in the space.Snape was half asleep and half awake, he always felt some slight vibration coming from his hand, as if someone was shaking his hand slightly.

A weak force kept coming from his fingertips, forcing him to wake up completely from sleepiness.

"..."

Opening her eyes, she saw Eve busy in the storage room from a distance, and then she tiptoed over neatly and handed him the potion she just made:

"Are you awake?" She asked in a low voice, "It's still early, if you feel tired, you can sleep for a while."

"Didn't you wake me up just now?" Snape frowned and asked suspiciously, but before he finished speaking, he realized that his hand was grabbed again, the force was still very light, but he could clearly feel it.

— Alice!

At the moment when she felt that it was her holding his hand, all kinds of emotions flooded my heart and became out of control.

He stood up abruptly and started calling her name over and over again.

"...Alice, Alice!"

When he kept calling her name, Eve also seemed to sense something was wrong, and immediately stopped working on potions and turned to look at him.

"What's up with her?"

"Just...just now! She grabbed my hand..."

"What?" Eve couldn't believe it, "You said... what?"

"She... is about to wake up!"

"how……"

Eve also became agitated and speechless for a moment, but forced herself to calm down, and immediately took out her wand and began to examine Alice carefully.

Everything is working fine, no different than before.

Except, Alice's hand was holding Snape's.

——However, it is impossible for her to wake up so quickly, if the life is exchanged...

"...Alice, Alice! Wake up...wake up..." Eve simply followed Snape and called her name, shaking the sleepy man's shoulders non-stop.Behind him, Regulus seemed to have heard that something happened outside, so he hurriedly ran out of the workshop.

After a while, maybe the call from the two of them started to work. Everything, like a miracle, gradually opened her eyes after she had been in a coma for a long time.

It's not an illusion, this time, it's not an illusion in a dream.

The author has something to say:

Miss author PS:

I haven’t written OMC for a long time, and I stopped for two months because of my own reasons. Although I have been writing the draft of the following article during this period, I still feel a little nervous when I create this story again after a long absence (seems a bit strange?= =)

Chapter 15 is probably a transitional chapter. Although it feels like the previous chapters Sev seems to have an emotional explosion and RP mutation, but the following chapters are probably going back to the previous "Men Sao mode"? (←Miss the author of the letter feels that she will die in every day)

If you must spoil something later in the article, I will use what I said to the author: "It seems like I ate candy~"

Mr. Author PS:

Started the mode of infinite resentment...

In order to speed up the pursuit of the article...

☆, 15.3

15.3 (1982)

In Hogwarts in 1982, everything was calm, orderly, and peaceful.

Except for one place.

——Actually, everyone knows where it is.

But no one is willing to say where it is.It's like they shouldn't set foot in that place, they shouldn't pay attention to it, and even knowing it is taboo.

The sound of conversation that continued into the hall from the atrium outside the corridor quickly disappeared into the passing crowd of people coming and going.

"...Brother, I can assure you that if you plan to disrupt Professor Snape's class this morning, then... I think we will miss our first dinner together this semester tonight."

such a pity.

Ian only now belatedly remembered how kindly his sister Elena had sent him some...reminders when he was walking to the Potions classroom with his sister in the morning.

When he mentioned to her the dissatisfaction he had with Professor Snape the day before yesterday when he asked him to rewrite all his homework and hand it in today, as well as his desire to play tricks in his class as "revenge", It made his sister feel that her brother, who always said what he said, might actually do it.

--and……

"Mr. Adler, I think that in addition to redoing all the previous homework tonight, you also have to copy that potions textbook from beginning to end."

In the cold cellar, I don't know how to do it. In a room where the lights are completely invisible, Ian can still see Snape in a black robe, sitting in the corner and looking at him. Seriously.

Snape threw a textbook from his desk far away—it was the one he "threw" on the professor's head this morning, Ian's own book.

"Thank you so much for wasting my precious class time today, allowing me to take a breath and think about how to deal with you, a student who is destined to add a minus fifty 'glory' to your academy."

Professor Snape's words were notoriously cold and extremely sarcastic.

——Fortunately, I learned the lesson today.

"Professor Snape, if you'd like to hear me explain, I really want to tell you that I didn't mean to."

Ian pitifully picked up the equally miserable textbook from the ground, walked up to Snape, and tried to plead for himself.

He actually wanted to swear that he never intended to throw the book directly at his professor's head.Although, he really wanted to do it, when he secretly said the Levitation Charm in class, he aimed at the cauldron of the classmate closest to Snape.

"When Miss Cilea (Cilea) used the same levitation spell, it obviously wouldn't be like this..."

He lowered his head and muttered in a low voice. He obviously didn't want to meet the professor's gaze, but he quietly raised his head and glanced at him in silence.

To his surprise, Snape had been staring at him viciously.

"As your Potions teacher, I'm honored to tell you that I don't need the Levitation Charm in my classes, especially," he paused deliberately

Dun, staring at Ian more sharply,
