On Potter's Influence on Snape's Life

Dark night, gloomy heart.

The once fearless move forward has become a joke that runs counter to it.

In the darkness, a bright white light galloped towards him, standing in front of him in the blink of an eye.

The deer-shaped guard stuck his head out and lightly touched Severus' frozen cheek, and a soft whisper sounded in his ears: "I'm going to marry Lily."

He stood there like a petrified statue, unable to return to his senses for a long time.

The deer's kiss touched his forehead like a touch of water, and then disappeared.

Severus finally waved his wand, but there was no trace of silver on the tip of the wand, he took a deep breath, and swung it again, this time wisps of white floated out, but what he wanted was still missing.

After a few times, the silver guard finally took shape. He opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't make a sound. He looked at the silent guard, gradually shrank his body, and finally spit out two words: "Okay."

The guard circled around him anxiously. He had dropped his wand and knelt in the middle of the floor. His face was covered by his loose black hair. After the guard lowered his head, he ran out of the window without looking back.

He bent over the floor, his slightly trembling body merged into the darkness of the room, and the little fire in the fireplace was suppressed by the suddenly turbulent magic power.

James waited until midnight, only to see a ray of silver rushing from a distance.The silvery white almost melted into the snow, and if it hadn't been in front of his eyes in an instant, James would have suspected that he had been dazzled by waiting.

However, when he saw the guards, James was still dumbfounded for a moment: the huge silver stag looked down at him, and its hooves stepped up and down a few times uneasily.

"You...why are you back again?" James asked incredulously, didn't he even have a word to say to himself...

After being in a trance for a few seconds, James realized his mistake. The guard in front of him couldn't possibly be his own guard, and the deer just happened to come over. The deer kiss gently pressed against his lips, and a deep, silky voice sounded. :"OK."

James' eyes widened, and he reached out to touch the tall guard in front of him, but saw that the stag, which was almost exactly the same as his guard, had quietly dispersed, as if he had exhausted all his strength before his eyes.

Unsuspecting, big tears rolled down James' eyes.

Lily woke up from a nightmare, no matter how hard it was to fall asleep, she wanted to go to the living room to read a book and eat something, but saw James standing alone in front of the fireplace, in the firelight, his peaceful face was full of tears.

James, who heard the movement, looked over, and Lily stopped in his tracks. What kind of eyes are those eyes... Are you trapped by love?Lily couldn't help asking: "Is she still alive?"

James blinked, tears fell, but there was a slight change in his frozen expression, and he nodded.

Recalling her dream, Lily quietly grabbed the clothes on her chest with one hand. She didn't know what happened to James, but she still followed her instinct and said: "Then go to her, don't let yourself regret .”

"There is far less time than we thought."

James lowered his eyes and didn't move. Lily saw that he was hesitating, and suddenly, he wanted to laugh a little. These Slytherins are bolder than anyone else once they are bold, but they are more timid than anyone else when they shrink back on weekdays—— Lily wanted to cry again, so she said softly, "Don't be afraid, maybe she is waiting for you too. Even if not, you don't have to regret it anymore."

"Don't let your heart down."

After a moment, James wiped the tears from his face and smiled with his head lifted.He walked over to Lily and gave Lily a gentle hug, then gave himself a fresh clean.A slightly tingling magic brushed over his body, he combed his hair with his hands, and straightened his robe again, Lily nodded to him, and he phantomed away with his head held high.

A black dog quietly came out from the shadows, and Sirius stood beside Lily in a blink of an eye, "Want something to eat?" He asked in a low voice, helping Lily to sit on the soft sofa.

"You've been there?"

Sirius shrugged his shoulders, nodded, and then brought milk and tea. He passed the milk to Lily, and took the teacup and spread it on the opposite sofa. "I fell asleep, and he didn't even notice me."

The two sat in silence for a while before Sirius spoke again: "I have to thank you. In any case, it's better to have an answer than to be stuck all the time."

Lily smiled lightly: "I also think that no matter what, it's better than giving up without trying. However, Regulus said, if you are not sure that it will bring happiness to the other party, it is better not to try."

"They always think too much."

Sirius snorted softly, "I think it's useless to always think about something, just let it go for a better life."

"That said, it's true." Lily laughed lowly.

Severus saw James before he knocked on the door.

Because James stood still in front of the door for too long.

The moment the guard was triggered, Severus knew someone was coming, but he sat on the chair numbly, motionless, only the wand in his hand was tightly pinched.

However, the visitor has not acted.

Severus' heart suddenly jumped wildly, and he tried his best to restrain himself, but he still walked to the door quickly.

Then he stopped and thought for a long time.

It was long before James knocked on the door.

The voice seemed to hit his heart.

He clenched his fists tightly until the Occlumency shut down all his emotions before gently pulling the door open.

Outside the door, under the moonlight, James Potter was well-dressed, his usual disheveled hair was fixed behind his head by smoothing agent, and the only few strands of hair were also laid softly on his sideburns. He didn't wear glasses, and his eyes were unusually bright .

He raised the corners of his lips slightly to Severus in the shadow, and said softly: "Hi. I hope I didn't bother you."

Severus looked at him deeply, as if tens of thousands of years had passed, and as if he had never moved, he blinked slowly, and once again closed the surging hot emotion.

He stepped aside and motioned for James to come in.

However, James stood still and asked politely, "The moonlight is so beautiful—how about we go for a walk together?"

A storm was brewing in Severus' eyes, and the fingers under his sleeves trembled slightly, he suspected that he was in the light - he couldn't help but took a step back, hiding himself deeper.

In the moonlight and snow scene, that person seemed to be glowing all over.

He's getting married, he's about to get, happiness.

He would, if possible, withdraw from the war.

He had nothing else to say, except blessings, to him.

The voice in my heart whispered: Tell him.

No, no.

tell him!

Do not!

Tell him, tell him, tell him!

Never, never think about it.He turned his head and stopped looking.

Seeing him take a step back and rejecting himself, James clenched his fingers subconsciously.

So he smiled, but said in a warm but cold voice: "I'm going to marry Lily. But, I don't love her."

Severus appeared in the darkness for the first time, he stepped to the door, stood in front of him and looked down at him, expressionless, without any emotion in his black eyes, and said every word in a deep voice Ask: "What are you talking about?"

So he was patient, smiled, and said it again in a gentle voice: "I said I don't love Lily, not at all."

Ecstasy swept through Severus' heart, as well as anger: "What the hell is going on?!"

Tell him quickly! — Severus shut the voice to the back of his mind.

But James picked up Joe, and he tilted his head slightly: "Want to take a walk?"

Severus narrowed his eyes, but remained silent.

"Or, just ask me in." James squeezed his fingers and compromised.

Severus looked at him, and after all he took another step forward, he heard himself say to James with a little dissatisfaction: "It seems that even a snowy day can't freeze a heart that runs amok." He saw I grabbed James' arm roughly, and took the opportunity to brush his palm. James' palm was warm. Fortunately, he knew how to use the warming spell, and the imprisoned soul felt relieved.

Severus continued impatiently, "Go ahead, if you can tell me what—"

He suddenly couldn't continue.

"Don't I love Lily?" James continued thoughtfully.

James looked at the long-lost man in the moonlight.

Yes, time has completely turned a gloomy boy into a tall, gloomy man with thick shoulders.

A powerful palm was holding his left arm, and when he touched it casually, his hand was as cold as if it had been in the snow all the time.

"Your hands are cold." James put his free hand over his.

Severus' hand tightened uncontrollably, and he didn't answer or continue to move. Facing the Dark Lord didn't cost him so much effort, the warm hand almost attracted all of his attention.

Until James cast the Warming Charm and moved his hand away.

He stared at the snow-falling roof in the distance in embarrassment, and asked in a disguised manner: "Why did you suddenly say that you don't love Lily?"

Countless thoughts, countless temptations, and thousands of excuses swirled in James' mind. They were all kinds of responses that he had planned in front of Severus' door just now. However, the moment he opened his mouth, he suddenly felt that he This is still meaningless, he didn't come to do this!He's coming— James exhaled.

"This scene doesn't seem so perfect." James complained in a low voice, and Severus couldn't help but look back, "My marriage with Lily is fake, and she doesn't love me—no, the marriage is Really, there are circumstances that require us to be married for a while."

Severus frowned, clearing his mind, staring blankly at Potter, wondering what else he had to say.

James looked up, looking extraordinarily handsome under the moonlight, with a strange warmth flowing on his face with the moonlight, I don't know if it was an illusion, Severus felt that those bright eyes were full of his own shadow.

With a sad yet satisfied smile like that, James slowly said the most beautiful words that Severus has ever heard in his life: "I'm here because the person I've always loved is you. "

"I love you, I have always loved you. I will always, always love you in the future."

"I wish you knew."
