[SSHP] End of life

Harry spent the first day of school under Ron's sympathetic gaze.Trelawney predicted Harry's death again, this time with a broken neck.In Potions class, Snape sullenly deducted fifty points from Gryffindor.

Harry wanted to convince himself that there was nothing wrong with Snape, he loved to make trouble for him, he loved to find excuses to deduct points from Gryffindor.But he instinctively sensed that something was wrong.Upon seeing Snape in the kitchen, Snape didn't show anything obviously unusual, but he hadn't deducted points for deliberately finding fault for a long time.He had to wonder what he had inadvertently done wrong again.

At six o'clock in the evening, Harry suddenly remembered Snape glaring at him in the kitchen, and remembered Trelawney's prophecy.He might really have his neck broken, and it might very well be Snape himself.Not even the sumptuous dinner and the planned prefect's bathroom were enough to assuage Harry's sense of foreboding, which intensified with every step he took towards Snape's office.

He paused outside the door, wondering wretchedly whether his supper had been his last, and he had missed a piece of pudding.Could he never enjoy bubbles in the prefect's bathroom again.Then he took a deep breath, knocked on the door and entered.

Snape was sitting in a chair by the table, with a candlestick at the other end of the table.Half of his body was hidden in the shadows, the candlelight trembled weakly, and he seemed to be bouncing back and forth between the real and the void.There wasn't another chair next to the table.

Harry walked over and threw his schoolbag beside the door.He looked around, the office was empty.Snape sat on the chair without saying a word, and he walked up to Snape, feeling like a schoolboy being reprimanded by his teacher.

Silence hung heavy in the office, and Harry stood in front of Snape for two minutes.Now he was sure Snape was angry.He kicked the floor and said, "I thought I was here to learn how to duel."

Hard black eyes were fixed on Harry without blinking, anger was etched into every line of Snape's face. "Duel?" he said softly, "Even if I teach you, you will still play yourself to death."

"What did I do again?" Harry cried out impatiently, feeling very bewildered, "Of course I'm going to die, I asked you to teach me to duel, so that I don't die at the hands of other Death Eaters before I actually confront Voldemort! I thought Professor Dumbledore told you to teach me!"

"That's right, Dumbledore asked me to teach you. He is a powerful wizard, but he will always underestimate the arrogance of a boy." Hearing Harry's resistance, a storm quickly gathered between Snape's eyebrows, "He doesn't know that no matter how much time I spend with you, he won't get enough in return!"

"I've destroyed Horcruxes! I'm almost done! I'd be good at Potions if you hadn't been hitting me all the time!" said Harry angrily. "And I've learned Occlumency!"

"But you didn't use it! How many times do I have to say it before you remember? You don't need to figure out what the Dark Lord said to his Death Eaters! That's my job!" Snape growled. "The Dark Lord is now Already sensed that you could sense his thoughts and feelings. He also deduced that this could be reversed! It had occurred to him that he might be able to sense your thoughts and feelings—”

"How do you know?" Harry cut him off.Now he realized why Snape was angry.

"That's enough for me to know!" Snape stood up abruptly, his height and darkness oppressing Harry, and brought his face threateningly closer to his ear.

"Maybe you like being connected to his brains, Potter? Maybe they make you feel special and important?" he said softly. "You think you're the only one who can save the world? No matter how many times you start over, you're still so cocky." , reckless, you—"

A strange heat swept through Harry's body from bottom to top.He took a step back in a hurry: "I didn't! I usually shut down my brain, but I knew that Mr. Weasley was bitten in those few days, so I—" He paused, "This is the first week you didn't Why did you come to me? Voldemort summoned you? What did he do to you?"

"It's none of your business, Potter!" - Harry angrily thought about how many people said it was none of his business during this time, "I told you not to do unnecessary things to try to change history I guess you've never heard of a term called the Butterfly Effect - you're putting us all into a passive position with your little empty head!"

passive.thought Harry.Passive, barely coping, nowhere to go, missteps, lost war - he stared at Snape's face, this time it was Snape's turn to back off.

He never seemed to get a good look at Snape.This man has occupied his life for too many years, from fear, disgust and even hatred, to later curiosity and dependence, most of his positive and negative emotions fell on him.The man was also watching him, his eyes fell on him, although he was disgusted, he had been silently guiding him and guarding him as he grew up.

Many others have done the same.They built him steps with their lives, but he gave none of them in return.He was wayward, and he ran away.Even if he stayed, he couldn't guarantee the final victory, because he wasn't smart enough or brave enough, and when the final battle started, he kept at least two Horcruxes still beside the main soul.

"I'm very sorry, sir." Harry was silent for a while, then said calmly, "I just want a - I want a world where everyone can live in peace. After I discovered my incompetence, maybe I should have followed up with you sooner." Professor Dumbledore confesses everything. After returning here, I saw Sirius again, Remus, saw you again, and got along with you again for an unimaginably long time. I have stolen enough time .It should not be extravagant."

Snape stared at Harry with sullen black eyes.Harry shook his head.

"Now let everything start turning."

"Stop!" Snape gritted his teeth and stopped Harry from behind as he walked towards the door. His silky and oppressive voice was like a whisper from hell, "Your personal heroism has already Mesmerized all your senses. Now stand still, there is only half of this class left, and I hope you will learn something in the remaining time."

"Learn something?" said Harry absent-mindedly. He hadn't seen Dumbledore for two days and wondered if he was still in school. "What do you want to teach me?"

"Duel, Potter! That's what you're here for today!"

"I'm sorry, sir, I have to do something else today." Harry replied calmly, looking at Snape, realizing that he had really made up his mind, "I really want to learn how to duel well and try to avoid death eating as much as possible." The number of gangsters, but you are right, fighting is just my personal desire, and this kind of personal heroism is dangerous for the big plan. Our purpose is only one, and it is clear. Before finding all the horcruxes until the final duel , I'm not going to do anything. I can't do it—as long as you all survive..."

"Potter!" Snape snarled a third time. "I tell you to stop!"

"I said I don't want to learn today!" Harry stubbornly refused, picking up his schoolbag, Snape's attitude made him want to deliberately play against him, "Yes, I messed up everything, but at least I'm It only delayed you for half an hour. Professor Dumbledore may lock me up later, or whatever. I will not resist. I will make sure that I am killed by Voldemort himself and not by others! When you find all Horcruxes, set up a surefire way to lure Voldemort into the encirclement - a month, two months? I won't be needed anymore! I'm already in fifth grade! I must go to Professor Dumbledore now! I have to Start as soon as possible!"

Snape tucked his wand back into his pocket and strode towards Harry.Looking at his horribly gleaming eyes, Harry almost thought he was really going to have his neck broken by this raging man.Snape grabbed his shoulders and shoved him back sharply.Harry staggered a few steps and fell back into the middle of the office. His waist hit the desk, and he gasped in pain.

"I've had enough! A nasty boy who talks to himself and never listens to—" Snape stepped forward and grabbed Harry by the collar, almost lifting Harry off his feet. He said, "I tell you not to try to change anything, and let you learn to duel honestly according to the plan now! Although I am not willing to teach you at all!"

"But I always have to die in the end! Why don't I start looking for Horcruxes as soon as possible!" Harry tried to reach the ground with his toes, and retorted loudly, "Where is my plan not feasible? As long as I find the Horcruxes before everything starts and die , you will all survive!"

"Your life for more, noble, Potter! But you're never too arrogant to understand that there are some things worth dying for even if we're not great saviours! If that's the way The original route will inevitably result, so I can only express my regret!" Snape hissed, "Now, Potter, do you want to learn to duel? If you don't, then you--"

"I don't want you to die! Why can't you face up to all this and show some courage to change?" Harry yelled, breaking Snape's right hand like a pincer with both hands, "Don't you come to Dumbledore with me? Well, professor, then don't go! You should never tell! But you can't stop me from letting you die!"

"I thought we'd discussed something like this over the summer! I don't need your obstinate handouts for my personal well-being! Potter—"

"That's enough! Don't call me that!" Harry couldn't break Snape's hand, and began to shake his body vigorously, trying to get away, and he finally got really angry, "Or just call me Harry, or Otherwise, don't order me! I won't live to be 21, and there are only a few people I can't let go of in my life! You can't call me Potter anymore!"

"Important! Potter!!" Snape yelled, "Empty your little hysterical, desperate mind! You need to practice, practice! Not here yelling about nonsense!"

"I'm not desperate, this is my plan! I just want to say this earlier to prevent it as soon as possible, at least not to capsize in the gutter! Of course you can disagree, you can discuss, you can refute, but I thought we shared a secret , be a little nicer to each other! You called me Harry! Severus - if you don't talk to me well, don't try to stop me -"

"At least I'm still your teacher, Potter! I don't remember ever allowing you to call me by my Christian name! Ten points from Gryffindor!" Snape jerked his arms up, and now Harry was completely off the ground." Don't get off topic! I think I'm asking you to practice dueling!"

"No! I want to respond! Now that's my talk! I ask to continue!" Harry yelled, "I admit I'm a little impulsive at times - but I want to protect you and have been protecting me for you! I I want you to admit it, I want your response! If you don't respond, you will never be able to convince me again!"

"No response, Potter! You wayward boy, I will not respond to your delusions!"

Snape shook Harry, who was suspended in the air, violently every half a sentence, and Harry felt like a chick with its neck pinched in his hands.He was dizzy from being shaken by Snape, but he managed to continue to break the incredibly strong hand, and glared at the man who was furious.

"Every time this issue is involved, you will be more excited than me! Can't you be more honest!"

"This is my frankness, as you wish! What else do you want to hear? Agree with you, have mercy on everyone, follow your instinct to save everything, discuss with Dumbledore how to lock you up, change everything, use your Lives for everyone to end the war intact? Do you think everything will go the way you want it to? Childish! Potter! That's war!" Snape growled.

"I didn't mean this—"

Snape suddenly let go of his hand and threw Harry to the ground, interrupting Harry.He took a step back, crossed his arms, and seemed to regain some sanity.

He looked down at Harry.The short candles on the candlesticks burned behind him, and his face was covered with heavy shadows.

"But I'm going to tell you this. Every time you change a tiny detail, things can go in unexpected directions. You might lose to the Dark Lord, but we want to win! If you make a new plan, everything will have to start all over again Feeling, you have no advantage, victory may be more than a hundred times more difficult! Do you think I will be too emotional to interfere in the lives of others? In order to save the doomed victims in the war, in order to save myself, let you go crazy? There are many things Worse than death, Potter!"

Here we go again, Harry thought angrily.Snape said the same thing as Dumbledore, but the meaning of their words was completely different.He had no doubt that what Snape meant by that was to live or lose the war, either of which was a hundred times worse than death.He should have known this man would not compromise.He will never forget what a competitive man this is, he has no desire to survive, but as long as he does, he will never let himself lose.

"But even if we develop as usual, we may not win! At the end of the last time, I at least asked him to keep two Horcruxes by his side! If you really want to win so much, you can't be kind to me and discuss it with me Is this a matter? I am Lily's son!"

"If you must stick to this subject," said Snape, his voice as cold as shattered ice floating on a sea of ​​ice in the Arctic Circle, "you have looked at my memory and tried to use it many times to irritate me. .And you yourself have selective amnesia now, Potter? From the beginning to the end, all I care about is Lily herself. I never thought of protecting you. Everything I do is to bring down the Dark Lord. In order to destroy the Dark Lord, I could watch you die - and I did. Is that clear enough? I'm not your ally, Potter, not even with the same memory, ever! I could watch any Man dies, as long as we win! A gold cup can do no more serious harm to history - it's not more than five hours from the final battle, and you have plenty of ways to deal with the gold cup and the snake! It's more than you can do from now on It's much safer to change the plan!"

Harry sat on the ground and stared at him.

"Then let me sum it up for you, Potter," he said coldly. "First, you won't die right away. Stop your despair and hysteria."

"I'm not afraid of death, nor am I hysterical—"

"Second, don't delay your normal practice because of your stupid heroism."

"I said I—"

"Third, during duel tutoring, it is forbidden to get entangled in content that has nothing to do with the class. Did I make it clear? Then go back to your bed today and tidy up your messy head. I am not your nanny. This kind of personal emotional outburst, no next time!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around, picked up the candlestick and changed positions meaninglessly.

Harry calmed down instead. He stared at Snape's back and said, "You're lying."

Without looking back, Snape pulled his chair back to the table and picked up a stack of papers.

"You don't care as much as you say. You know what I say is true and I care about you. Why do you keep telling me to stop calling this stuff like bullshit?"

The black figure paused for a moment, then turned back suddenly, and Snape's face was full of impatience: "Enough, Potter. I can't control the stupid thoughts in the mind of the savior, I can only warn you to control your own Behavior. Don't get too emotional and think you can do anything because you know where the Horcruxes are, and screw everything up in the end. But I'm sure you'll never hear the damn thing."

"Of course, I'll be cautious. I'll seek out all the help I can, give everything I can to win, even myself." Harry met his gaze without flinching, "But there is one thing You're right. I'm just a pompous, wayward, clueless kid, and to me, nothing is worth dying for."

Snape's black eyes stared at Harry for two seconds, filled with unknown emotions: "Get out now."

The author has something to say: Pay attention, comrades, it is best to read this post.

Starting today, I will spend about a week to solve the Erha problem.The first is that the secret of the time traveler is no longer strictly guarded, and the second is the warrior and enlightenment. It should not be considered a spoiler now.The collision between Erha and SS is actually a collision between my confusion and the original work.Xiaoha in the original book is very complete, with both thinking and personality, but I think such a hero is not realistic enough.I will slightly adjust Xiaoha based on the original work, until finally let his behavior return to the original work.Xiaoha is still the selfless and kind Xiaoha, but he will have more different feelings.He will make the same choice as the original, but there will be more things in the choice.Strictly speaking, I think it is OOC, because Lao Deng said in the last station that Xiao Ha is very selfless, but I am more inclined to use the same people to complete the core of the original work, Xiao Ha.Different fans will develop in different directions based on the core character of the original work, and I prefer a small number of weak parts.What I agree with very much is that courage is not being fearless, but insisting on doing what should be done despite being afraid.I want to develop a little ha like this.

I don’t know if I have expressed the views of the two of them clearly in the text, because Erha suddenly got excited and deviated from a part of the topic, I think it may not be clear.Relying on words to supplement the main body of the text, my level is really too low. SS is very clear, don’t want the butterfly effect, just develop as it is until the final settlement of the Golden Cup. At that time, the time of the final battle is very close, and the time travel time without any serious harm to the time traveler himself or time and space is about five When he was young, Xiaoha could always maintain his advantage according to the historical development, and suddenly found a way to get the gold cup at the last moment, so that the butterfly could not go anywhere, and the most important thing was that he could die.But Erha is not, he is also very clear, what he was afraid of at the beginning was the butterfly effect, but he felt that since he did nothing, he began to make subtle deviations, it is better to ask Lao Deng to make a new plan, at least they all know what the Horcrux is Yes, we can still seize the opportunity.The two of them were not on the same channel from the very beginning, SS wanted to scare Erha, but it had the opposite effect, laughing.In fact, SS doesn't completely disapprove of Erha, he just doesn't want to live.This is all written, spoilers or not is just a question of character description, it's better for you to have a bottom line in your mind first.Based on the character of SS in the original book, I tend to develop him into a stoic and awkward person with more emotional concerns.When it comes to feelings, I will immediately reject it instinctively, and hide as long as I can.This feature will slowly show up when his emotional line starts.In short, when it comes to emotional statements, it is not Erha who is hysterical but him.However, Xiaoha's courage can also impress him, and he is not so determined. In the end, when he said that I believe you will not listen, he has already compromised, and he has nothing to do with Erha.It's not that he didn't know what Erha really wanted to say, he just changed the subject and didn't want to listen.However, I set Erha to be more willful, and I will finish what I want to say, regardless of whether SS listens or not, so I slowly catch up with the method of grinding.I don't know if you can accept this modified Xiaoha and SS.

Then talk about Gryffindor as I understand it.Recklessness is often accompanied by impulsiveness. Such a person is a righteous man, but not wise enough.The most direct example is Zilu. I think Zilu's branch must be a very standard Gryffindor. Xiao Ha, who is in his 30s, has largely got rid of such a personality, which I am very happy about.

Whether SS and Xiaoha can be together, or how sweet they get along when they are not together, on the one hand, how tolerant Erha is, mainly depends on how much SS resists.During this period of time, conflicts will be very concentrated, so I made a short-term outline. All entanglements will be over within this week. No matter how many chapters there are, even if there are two or three changes every day, I promise to get everything done on Saturday and completely break away from the original work. The relationship line on the SS side will also start on Saturday.

Speed ​​up the plot, no matter how late it is today, there will be double updates~
