[HP] Years Whisk

Believe it or not, there is a kind of destiny in this world.

You meet someone, and when you meet him/her, you suddenly realize that there is only one in this world.

Can't escape, can't get rid of.Love to the humble, desperate.

Severus Snape occasionally remembered the long, long time ago, when he was very young, when 'the man' seemed to have smiled at him.He used to hold the hand of 'that man' intimately, and 'that man' smiled and raised him above his head, and his mother smiled softly and shyly, instead of wrinkling her face like now.

At that time, he would probably still call that man 'Daddy' affectionately, and would throw himself into his arms when that man came home, begging for gifts from him.At that time, little Severus didn't know that there was such a thing as 'magic' in the world, and his mother never acted unusually. Their family was like the most ordinary family among thousands of people. The White family and the Smith family are no different.

But were those memories real?Could it be just because he never got it, so he painted an illusion for himself in his mind?Severus doubted himself too.

However, he probably will never forget the beginning of all ruptures.It was one time when he was lying on the table watching the goldfish that Tobia brought back from the Christmas party, he waved his hand boredly, only to find that the small fish tank suddenly floated wobbly.When he was young and naive, he thought it was a goldfish playing with him. When he found that he could vaguely control the flying direction of the small fish tank, he had a whim and wanted to take the little goldfish to see the scenery in the yard.So he slowly guided the fish tank to fly out of the door and towards the lawn in the yard.That's when he heard a scream and he was startled and looked back.It was the frightened face of the children of the Whites next door.

Because the small fish tank lost its magic traction, it fell freely onto the lawn in the yard and fell apart.

The little goldfish died.

Many reasons may be needed to love someone, but one reason may be enough to hate or reject a person.

Because 'he' is different from 'us'.

In that era when the concepts of "equality" and "inclusiveness" had not yet been popularized, and in that era when even the race of birth would become a person's original sin, people had zero tolerance for such "strange" events.

The neighbors around seemed to know this matter overnight, and they all talked about it: that child of the Snape family is a freak with abilities that we have never known before.He must be a devil and bring us bad luck.

That day was the first argument that 'that man' had with his mother that Severus could remember.

It's not necessarily a quarrel, because it was just the man's unilateral questioning and scolding, and the mother was just crying, crying and apologizing non-stop.

That was also the first time in Severus' memory that 'that man' smelled of alcohol and looked grim.

Perhaps it is because the hostility in people's hearts after World War II has not completely dissipated, and the fear of unknown dangers makes them lose their strength.Gradually, Severus found that the little friends he used to play with were repelling him, and would even spit at him; the neighbors who used to always smile at him also seemed to see something shocking when they saw him. Disgusted, frowning, hastily avoided.Irene Snape also often found dead mice or threatening letters at the door when cleaning the house, urging or scolding them, ordering them to move away quickly.

Tobias Snape probably started to indulge in alcohol at this time. On the one hand, he wanted to escape because of the rejection and disgust of the people around him, and on the other hand, it was because of the poor performance of the factory and the high work pressure.

The Snape family is just an ordinary family in the UK. They don't understand politics and diplomacy, let alone monopoly dumping.Tobias Snape was just a very ordinary factory employee, the only thing worth mentioning was that he got into the position of group manager, which seemed to make him feel that he stood out from a group of workers, as if he was taller than all of them A cut'.

It has been ten years since the end of World War II, and Britain is slowly recovering the energy it spent in the war.People are always full of confidence in their expectations for the future, feeling that life will get better every day.However, the physical war is over, and the economic war has just begun.

At first, people just lamented that many cheap and easy-to-use "American goods" have been added to the market, which is more complete and cheaper than the things produced in the UK.Common people are very happy to buy such cheap and affordable things, which can save a lot of money for the family.

But gradually, the problem came.Consumers in the British market are all going to buy goods from the United States, so who will buy products produced locally in the UK?

The goods in Tobia Snape's factory were gradually unsold, and a large number of them were piled up in the warehouse.At first, the workers were not aware of any problems, but Tobia, as a junior manager, was assigned a lot of sales targets.

He feels more and more pressure from work.Because the price and quality can't compete with those "American products", those sales targets are almost impossible to achieve.At this time, the workers under him stopped listening to his command, and even secretly started to joke and mock him because his son was a 'freak'.All the pressures came together to make Tobias Snape addicted to alcohol, to drink away his worries.

But this didn't help, and it even entered a vicious circle: Tobias Snape was laid off because of alcoholism, workers who didn't listen to him, and the economic situation; The sarcastic remarks from his family, coupled with the pain of losing his job, these things made him drink more every day; because he had no salary and lost the source of living expenses, Tobia began to borrow money to buy wine; but because he had no income, he borrowed money. The amount was getting bigger and bigger, and finally he had to sell the original house and moved to the slum-like spider's end alley with low housing prices.

Severus' life had also been turned upside down: the man who would have smiled at him and taken him to the playground had turned into the worst nightmare of his life.The neighbors who were kind to him now see him as if they have seen some deadly virus. It is a kind of discrimination belonging to the mainstream crowd and the indifference of bystanders.

Why are they so fickle?By the way, it must be because they are Muggles.

Because they are so ignorant that they use ignorance as a weapon.

So I'm not like those people.thought little Severus.I'm a wizard, so I don't throw away my beliefs or people or things I used to like casually like they do.

Before meeting Lucius and Narcissa, Severus Snape lived almost on his own accord.Don't resist, don't talk, pretend to be an invisible figure in this home.

Because 'that man' was still drinking heavily, Irene began to secretly pick up the potion that she had abandoned for many years in order to repay the debt and provide income for their family.

I don't know if it's because of lack of courage or because of the love in the past, but Tobia has never abandoned this 'home'.It's just that after he was drunk, he began to vent the pressure and pain in his heart in a violent way.Eileen would cry weakly in the face of his violence, not even daring to fight back for fear of losing him.

Severus once saw Irene making a colorless potion, which was tasteless at first, and then gradually he could smell the sweetness of cotton candy he tasted when he was a child, and it was like the fragrance of cheese and ham.Just when the good smell was getting stronger, he saw his mother burst into tears, and uncontrollably knocked over the cauldron with her hands, even ignoring the blisters scalded by the splashed liquid.After that, he never saw his mother brewing this potion again.It wasn't until he studied the book that Lucius mailed him that he knew that the potion had a unique effect - a love potion.

So what exactly was Lily to Severus?

It was as if on a lonely journey for a long time, I suddenly met a "traveling companion" who was similar to myself: the same misunderstood by stupid Muggles (Penny Evans), and the same magical power.

But she lives so brightly and freely, like a bird fluttering its wings, with an optimistic and cheerful personality, but lovable.

Severus was secretly looking forward to it, and at the same time was slightly jealous.He watched her secretly from a distance, until the girl noticed carefully and held out her hand to him with a smile: "Come on, Severus. Come and play with us."

At that moment, Severus felt that he had finally found a 'partner', unlike Lucius and Narcissa who seemed to have a good family at first glance, but a companion who was similar to himself and could truly accept him.

They became friends.

Although Severus was relatively taciturn, the lively Lily could always find something to talk about and keep talking.He has also seen Lily being bullied by other children because of her own magic power. He once wanted to use magic power to teach those children for Lily, but Lily always didn't take those things to heart as if she hadn't been hurt. Those kids also became friends.

The more he got to know Lily, the more Severus found himself attracted to Lily's character.As a result, he began to worry that she would be afraid of magic because of her 'different'.So he wrote to Lucius.

In fact, many times we don't know when we met that important person, who is so important that it will change our life.

At that time, it just felt like a very ordinary encounter.

Late November 1966, Hogwarts, the corridor on the second floor of the Slytherin lounge.

"Sissy, do you want to come to my house this Christmas?" Lucius asked Narcissa in a black and green Slytherin sweater, "My father also welcomes you very much."

"Yes," Narcissa gave an affirmative answer this time: "I asked my parents, and they agreed. They said that Bella was also planning to go to her classmate's Christmas party, and Andromeda would rather Get a taste of the school's Christmas spirit, so this year our family is planning to get together on Christmas Eve and have a dinner instead of having a dinner on Christmas Day."

"Then I'll pick you up at your house on Christmas morning." Lucius answered.

"Okay, but don't come too early." Narcissa winked playfully at him, "Girls, you have to pack up before going out."
