as a model

The Dueling Club set off a trend in Hogwarts. James and Sirius were famous people. Everyone knew them and knew that these two pure-blooded wizards were smart and talented.

In order to limit the number of people, they had to set many conditions, such as restricting wizards who are in the fifth grade and above to sign up, only students who have obtained E or above in Defense Against the Dark Arts can participate, and only those who have been reviewed by James and Sirius only people can join.Such restrictions not only did not make the craze subside, but made more people fascinated by it.

Lupine led Rosemary and Snape through the crowd of people standing outside the club's door looking around, and into the door.

There were only about 20 people in the room. Rosemary looked carefully, there were about a dozen Gryffindors, a few Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs, and only Rosemary, Snape, and others were in Slytherin. Regulus talking to Sirius.

Rosemary came here because she felt that she really should learn some self-protection methods. Of course, she could probably defeat many weak and powerless wizards with just her fists, but when both sides held When she was using a magic wand, she also hoped that she had enough ability to fight.

As for Snape, his thinking was even simpler, he just came to smash James and Sirius.

The theme of the club is different every day, and they practice different spells. Today, the host of the club is James. He asked everyone to work in pairs. He first told a joke, which made everyone laugh, and then explained One fainted, and finally said: "Lily, can I trouble you to come on stage and help me demonstrate?"

Lily didn't seem to be surprised, she shrugged and walked forward.According to the location, Lily was originally with Sirius, but after Lily stepped forward to assist James, a spot became vacant, and Rosemary had to fill in automatically. Her original partner was Snape, but now she became Sirius. .

And next to Rosemary was the humble Peter who was always following James, Sirius and Lupine.He struggled to glance at his original partner Lupine, and reluctantly walked across to Snape.

After James and Lily in front of them successfully and perfectly demonstrated the faint spells and counter-spells, the rest of the people began to practice.

Rosemary raised her wand at Sirius, only to find that several people around her were staring at her.

She found it very weird, and was about to ask, but Sirius spoke first: "Don't stare at us anymore, this time I'm prepared, and my nose won't be broken again!"

Hearing what Sirius said, Rosemary couldn't help laughing out loud. "With a wand, I'm no match for Sirius."

Sirius gave an elegant and exaggerated salute, indicating that he accepted the compliment, and motioned for Rosemary to strike first.

Rosemary shook her wand and began to say the spell: "Stunned!"

"what!"

Before she could finish the spell, she was interrupted by a startling scream from Peter next to her, and his whole body flew backwards, flat against the wall.

The classroom suddenly became chaotic, James nervously wanted to walk through the crowd, but Rosemary, who was closest to Peter, had already stepped forward to check if he was okay, but who knew he was pulled up.

Rosemary looked up in surprise, only to find that it was Snape with a gloomy face.

"Are you going to break the spell for him?!" Rosemary said.

"Shouldn't he have blocked the attack by himself?" Snape sneered, and there were a few more ugly words in his heart that he didn't say.

Rosemary frowned, disapproving of Snape's words, and the wizards nearby who heard it also gasped, even if it was true, it's not good to say it like that.

At this time James rushed forward to undo the spell for Peter, and began to disperse the onlookers.

Snape walked away with his head held high like this. Seeing this, Rosemary habitually caught up with him and asked softly, "Why are you so rude to Peter?"

Snape hadn't made her feel so uncomfortable targeting James, Sirius, or even Lupine, but this time he was targeting Peter.

Peter, who is always cowering in a corner like a mouse, not daring to offend anyone... If the conflict between him and the other three can be regarded as tit-for-tat, then treating Peter is really bullying the weak. Rosemary felt very uncomfortable, reminding her of the time when she was bullied by Slytherin.

"You don't need to mingle with them from now on, I'll just teach you if you need special training." Snape didn't answer Rosemary's question, but gave instructions directly.

"No." Rosemary resisted for a rare time, and spoke loudly. "I don't like your attitude. The way you treat Peter is too much for me."

"Excessive?" Snape was incredulous at the girl's words, "it's just a swoon."

"It has nothing to do with fainting or unforgivable curses, it's about how you treat people, how can you be so...so..." Don't treat people as What's going on?

Rosemary suddenly felt that she had never really understood Snape, and always felt that he was just indifferent and selfish, but she did not expect that they would have such a big difference in this basic moral view.

"Evil?" Snape said softly, without a trace of emotion. "Why should I sympathize with someone so incompetent and weak? This is the reality of the world—some people are born with everything, while others have nothing and can only fight for it with their own hands."

"Why do I have to live with this stupid idea that the world is one and love conquers all?" he continued whispering in Rosemary's ear. "Obviously I have great power, why do I have to hide myself and be bound by this hypocrisy?"

"Kindness is just a false cloak to make life easier." Snape concluded with a sneer.

"It's not true." Rosemary wasn't provoked, she just distanced herself from Snape.

"Kindness is a kind of empathy, a way of caring for others and cherishing the world..." Rosemary paused and thought for a while before continuing. "The precious thing about kindness is that intelligence is a gift, but kindness is a choice."

When Rosemary said this, she looked at Snape with some hesitation. He was never a gentle and kind person, but he was not purely evil or utilitarian. She had seen him worry about Lily: she had seen him worry about himself. His mother's death was sad, and he even attended his parents' funeral...

Maybe, maybe he just has a very small amount of love, which can only be given to a few people, and there is no way to share it?

"I don't think you lack the ability to love or care for others..." Rosemary said to herself, her voice was bitter, she lowered her head so she didn't notice that Snape was talking to her A look of embarrassment flashed across his face.

"I just think, why are you so indifferent to other people? I don't think Peter has offended you, has he? Leaving aside that he is only a student, don't you feel ashamed to bully him?"

Rosemary became more and more angry. She knew exactly how capable Snape was. It was easy for her to control the power of this spell. There was absolutely no need for him to hurt Peter like this. embarass.

Besides his own malice, what else could be the reason.

Rosemary took a deep breath, kept herself from speaking loudly, and tried to maintain a calm tone: "What are you angry about?"

Snape was overwhelmed by Rosemary's barrage of questions, and couldn't respond immediately.

She asked him why he was targeting Peter?

Of course it's because Peter is an evil, wretched, disgusting rat...he killed Lily and Potter...betrayed his best friend at Hogwarts, such a person, how could he be gentle Treat him well, let alone let Rosemary have some contact with him.

But Snape couldn't tell Rosemary exactly what he said, because if he told her that Peter had done ugly things and exposed his ridiculous and hypocritical appearance, he would have to confess to her that dark and ugly truth. past.Let her know that she is one of the murderers who killed Lily...

He didn't have the courage to confess everything to her.

Rosemary was not surprised that Snape was silent for another moment. There were countless times in their conversations that ended with his silence.

She used to think that silence was not a big problem. She always felt that silence also revealed a message, maybe it was embarrassment, maybe shyness, or what kind of emotion, but at this moment, she suddenly felt very depressed, because she I suddenly understood that silence is silence, and silence is refusal to communicate.

Rosemary thought of many things in the past, and felt that there was no limit to her self-righteousness. She remembered that she knew that Snape didn't like her, but she was still dead by his side, and she remembered her confession that died without a problem on Christmas Eve──I thought of many, many of her I have been deceiving myself, things I don't want to see.

She rubbed her face, trying to pull herself together, but felt her hands were so cold.

This cold feeling seemed to make her more awake. Rosemary brushed her hair and said gently: "That's it, I'm meddling in my own business. But you really need to muster up the courage to face yourself, This kind of behavior of bullying the weak... Can you live with it yourself?"

With that, she left the corridor with a dejected smile, leaving Snape alone.
