Atonement of HP

Chapter 4 Conflict

Early the next morning, Snape walked out of the dormitory at his usual time, and unexpectedly met Lucius at the door of the common room.

"School Snape, good morning." Lucius greeted unexpectedly, totally catching Snape who was about to nod and leave by surprise.

"Morning, Senior Malfoy." Snape tried hard to recall his timidity in the third grade in his previous life, with a deadpan expression on his face.

"Junior Snape got up early?" Lucius looked at the "normal version" of Snape in front of him—exactly what he thought it should be, but Lucius lowered his eyes to hide his innocence. He was so interested, if he hadn't accidentally seen Snape's appearance last night, he would have really been tricked by him.

"Senior Malfoy is also very early." Snape slowly entered the role. He was not familiar with Lucius anyway in his third year, let alone his "stinky and tough" temper that he had scolded him for decades in his previous life.Sternly pretending to be unfamiliar, Snape expressed no pressure.

"Oh, I have to be responsible for guiding the first-year students. After all, it is my responsibility as a prefect until the first-year chief is selected." It's not that Lucius didn't see that Snape didn't want to say more, but he just didn't want to. Let him wish.

"Then I won't bother Senior Malfoy." Snape said dryly, nodded and walked out of the common room without waiting for Lucius' answer.

Seeing the back of Snape leaving, Lucius flicked his platinum-blond hair, anyway, there is plenty of time, Snape, you can't escape.

It made Snape very happy to see that the friend who owed him the most in his previous life was still alive and well. He had never been good at accepting others' kindness. In his previous life, there were only two people who really treated him—one was Lily, and the other was Lucius.It's a pity that people always have a choice. In order to atone for Lily who was killed by him, Snape became a double agent without hesitation, standing on the opposite side of Lucius.

After he completed the compensation for Lily's unexplainable feelings for decades with his life, he was surprised to find that he had carried another debt that could not be repaid. Lucius' tragic experience in Azkaban, Draco's slump and Slytherin's rejection were like a whip whipping his heart non-stop.

Is it really worth it?He couldn't help asking himself this time and time again.But Slytherin never regrets, they always face their choices.But he could ignore the struggle of the little Slytherin who lived under his wings, and the inaction of his godson, but his betrayal of Lucius was like a shackle that could not be opened.

Slytherin's friendship will never be betrayed once paid. Lucius, the poisonous snake of the Malfoy family recognized by the wizarding world, has done it, but he doesn't even have the courage to face his old friend.What's more, combined with the situation in the Malfoy family cemetery at that time, Snape had some vague guesses—maybe this was a blessing from Merlin, and the assistant could only be his only friend, if he was willing to admit own words.

While sitting in his corner eating breakfast absent-mindedly, Snape secretly made up his mind that within the scope of his ability, he must give something back to Lucius, as for Lily.Snape looked up and looked at Potter and Black who were lively and loudly fighting for food on the long Gryffindor table. Perhaps it would be better for everyone to stay away.He didn't want to struggle with his chaotic mood, and he didn't want to sort it out, so he just let it go, I've given all I can give.

As usual, the first day of third year was Transfiguration and Potions, the former being Potter's specialty and the latter Snape's domain.

Professor McGonagall is still the same as Snape remembers, even if he and her colleagues have been working together for more than ten years, they haven't noticed any significant changes in this lady.Potter is still her favorite student. Thinking about it, it should be this year that Potter and the others learned Animagus.Thinking of this, Snape couldn't help snorting, the idiot Potter and the rebellious son of the Black family are probably only talented in turning into beasts.

Snape carefully controlled his magic power. In his previous life, he remembered that he was not very good at transfiguration. He observed his classmates carefully, and sure enough, most of the Slytherins had made his snuff bottle small. Some changes, Snape quietly mixed in the crowd.

"Lily, Lily, you see I've become successful!" After a while, Potter's voice filled the classroom.Professor McGonagall walked over quickly, and showed a rare smile: "James Potter is the first to successfully transform the snuff bottle, and Gryffindor will get [-] points." After she finished speaking, she nodded at Potter encouragingly. .

Potter's attention was not on his headmaster at all, he turned his head back as far as possible, and stared closely at the little red-haired witches in the next few rows.The girl blushed when she saw this straightforward gaze, not just because of the atmosphere, but also because of shame.

Until the end of get out of class, the leader of the third year of Slytherin and Lily finished second and third respectively, and added five and three points to their house respectively.

"Severus, Severus..." After class, Snape walked out with the crowd. It was Potions class in the afternoon. He had to prepare well and think clearly so that he could be honest with the Potions professor. How many.Lily's voice came from the door, apparently waiting for him at the door.

Because of the decision he made in the morning, Snape intentionally distanced himself from Lily, but it was somewhat unreasonable to ignore his friends of the past two years in public, let alone the group of four staring at him, and countless little lions and snakes watching play.

"Lily, what's the matter?" Snape looked at Lily's emerald green face.

Eyes, once again surprised to find that there is no fluctuation in his heart.

Looking straight into Snape's obsidian eyes, Lily could almost see her tiny self in those small black pupils.She was suddenly a little shy, as if she had discovered for the first time that her childhood sweetheart was a boy.

Lily lowered her head unconsciously, in the impression that Severus had never looked at herself like this before.

Watching Lily's blushing face quickly, Potter felt a sense of crisis that he had never felt before.If before he was just trying to get Lily's attention, now he really treated Snape as an equal enemy.

"You bloody snot, who allowed you to look at Lily like that?" Potter quickly pulled out his wand, while Black was rubbing his fists aside, Peter timidly pulled Lupine's robe, and the latter put on a look of indifference look.

"Potter, how can you say that about Severus?" Lily quickly pulled out of her emotions just now, and subconsciously glanced at Snape secretly.Seeing Snape's still expressionless face, she was slightly disappointed while being relieved.

"Lily, how can you protect this insidious snotling like this?" Lily's subconscious eyes caught Potter's attention, and he pointed his wand at Snape without hesitation, completely forgetting that he was just outside the Transfiguration classroom in the corridor.

"Hot and hot." Potter uttered a curse, and Black jumped forward.

Snape dodged the spell nimbly, and a "heavy obstacle" knocked Black out, because he was completely unexpected, so when Sirius got up from the ground, two tubes of nosebleeds gushed out quickly.

Seeing his brother see red, Potter was beyond angry!He quickly helped Sirius up, still shouting in his mouth: "This is the insidious Slytherin who hurts his classmates at will."

If it is said that Potter could still uphold the attitude of "nothing to do with himself, let the Slytherins stand high" towards Snape's personal attack just now, what Potter said later will undoubtedly offend the entire Slytherin. The Lytherins looked at Potter's group of four with unkind faces, and Gryffindor, an old rival, immediately gathered around Potter, drawing a clear line between Slytherin and Slytherin.The head of Slytherin's third year was sullen, and was about to say something when Professor McGonagall came out of the classroom.

"What's going on here?" Professor McGonagall looked at the two colleges that were facing each other in the corridor. In the middle were Potter who was supporting Black and Snape who was expressionless.

"Snape used magic to attack his classmates in the corridor, Professor McGonagall!" Potter pointed to the blood on Sirius' face, and the villain complained first.

"Is that so? Student Evans?" Professor McGonagall directly asked Lily who was standing near Potter. She knew that Potter, Sirius, Lupine and Peter had a good relationship, and the nearest Gryffindor was Lily. up.

"Yes... yes..." In the literal sense, Potter didn't lie, and Lily wanted to tell a few words for her friend, but the sight of the Gryffindors behind was too stressful——in the confrontation just now After that, the grievances of the foursome Snape have risen to the college, and Lily can't betray her college anyway.

Snape sneered in his heart, it was like this in the last life, Lily always upheld justice in the middle, and he always estimated the girl's opinion instead of attacking or fighting for it, the girl was always like a protector , even if she didn't know that if she said "I believe in you", Snape would definitely surprise her.

"Classmate Snape!" Professor McGonagall frowned tightly. She had a good impression of this quiet but serious Slytherin, but this did not offset his mistakes. "Slytherin deducted five points for attacking classmates without reason in the corridor. Severus Snape worked for a week."

"Well, well, well, may I know what happened here?" Lucius' aria sounded just as Professor McGonagall's voice fell.

"Prefect." The third-year chief saluted Lucius, and the little snakes around made way for a passage, and the third-year chief explained the ins and outs to Lucius in a low voice.

"Professor McGonagall, is it unfair for you to make a decision without asking both parties?" Lucius had a noble smirk on his face.

"I've already asked the bystanders, Malfoy." Professor McGonagall said with a straight face.

"You didn't listen to what Slytherin said, did you?" Lucius' voice was still unhurried, "Rudolf," he casually pointed to the little snake closest to the center, "please take the snake you saw just now." Repeat it like Professor McGonagall."

The little snake who was named was obviously a little excited, but he restrained it immediately, and narrated in an objective tone of a third party: "Evans stopped Snape after class, and then Potter excitedly used The wand was pointed at Snape and cast a spell at him, and after Snape dodged, Black (he pouted at this point) pounced on him, Snape used 'obstacle', and Black fell out, and then Bo Terry helped Black up and accused the Slytherins of casually hurting their classmates."

Rudolph's narration is simple and his voice has no ups and downs, but it is more convincing, especially the emphasis on Potter's attack on the entire Slytherin house at the end elevates the whole incident to the height of the school's struggle, and many people who came later The Slytherins looked at Potter even more unkindly.

"Of course you can check the spells cast by Potter's and Snape's wands at the end, Professor McGonagall." Lucius drew a long tone.

Professor McGonagall looked at the lion cubs who lowered their heads following the narration, and Lily Evans' somewhat ashamed face, so he didn't know that he had been misled.Look at the resentment on Potter's face, with no remorse, the bun on her head almost stood up in anger: "No need!" Professor McGonagall's face flushed: "Snape's labor service is cancelled. , James Potter and Sirius Black provoked their classmates for no reason, Gryffindor deducted [-] points, and labor service for two weeks."

Not only intentionally or unintentionally, Professor McGonagall ignored Potter's provocation against the entire Slytherin, and did not add back the credits deducted by Snape.

"Oh, I am grateful to the impartial Professor McGonagall." Lucius walked to Snape's side, pretending to be comforting and hugging his shoulders.Snape struggled vigorously, but found that Lucius' strength was astonishing, and he couldn't break free unless he used a spell.Snape gave Lucius a hard look at an angle that no one could see, but the latter let him go, but his eyes were full of triumphant smiles. "I think Mr. Snape will be grateful to you for clearing him up."

This damned white-haired peacock, Snape gritted his teeth, but he had to cooperate with the other party to put his head down and look aggrieved. It was no longer his personal grudge when the prefect came forward.

"Gryffindor deducted another [-] points for framing a classmate." Professor McGonagall gritted his teeth and deducted another [-] points from his own college: "Now, you should get out of the corridor."

The little Slytherin snakes winked at each other, walked past the Gryffindor lion cub with a smirk, and threw a contemptuous look from time to time.Sure enough, as soon as the prefect stepped out, Gryffindor and everything would be settled immediately!

The little lions of Gryffindor dare not speak out, don't say that they did have shortcomings just now, and now that their head is by their side, they are definitely looking for death if they make mistakes.But Potter and Black still looked at Snape resentfully, with a fierce light in their eyes.

Before Snape left, he glanced at Lily, who gave her a beseeching look, Snape nodded expressionlessly, he really didn't care.Lily's eyes lit up immediately, but Snape's figure was immediately blocked by a platinum one.Lucius was almost leaning against Snape's ear and talking: "Hey, don't you miss your little girlfriend?"

The sensitive ears of the future master of potions turned red, and he glared at Lucius angrily: "I think the function of Malfoy's prefect's ball on his neck is to think, although it is full of yellow waste , Lily is my friend!"

Lucius was a well-tested aristocrat, his face stiffened in the face of Snape's undisguised venom.Looking at Snape's imposing back, Lucius stroked his chin playfully, friend?
