[HP] Years Whisk

December 1973.Somewhere in Knockturn Alley.

"You managed to find this place, Snape." Although Nott looked disdainful, he still lazily tapped the wall behind him with his wand, revealing a hidden entrance. "Go in, this is the master's reward for your persistent pursuit."

Severus Snape walked into the entrance with a little excitement in his heart.He had searched for so long, and finally, he was about to meet that powerful man.

As Severus gradually ascended the stairs, the arrangement inside became more and more luxurious, with a sense of ancient dignity.

Severus pushed open the ebony door at the top of the stairs and saw the man, and there he was!Just one glance can make people feel his strength.

"Are you Severus Snape?" The man glanced at him coldly, with scrutiny in his eyes.

"Yes, the Great Duke of Darkness." Severus was a little nervous under his gaze, and he quietly wiped the sweat from his palms on his clothes.

"You want to gain more power?" The Duke of Darkness, that is, Voldemort, said in an unhurried voice: "But I never recruit people of mixed blood. So, tell me—what capital do you have? Let me teach you more powerful magic?"

"I..." Severus was at a loss for words for a moment, but he immediately thought of: "Potion! My mother was a descendant of Prince, so I also learned a lot of secret recipes for potion. My potion My grades in pharmacy are also very good, and I am also very good at making potions."

"Oh?" Voldemort let out a mocking sneer, but his tone seemed to be slightly interested: "You said, your mother is a descendant of the Prince family?"

"Right, right." Severus didn't understand why Voldemort asked such a question, he opened his mouth hesitantly.

"Then, seeing that you are the last possible surviving descendant of the Prince family, I can reluctantly tolerate your origin." Voldemort narrowed his eyes.He looked at Severus like he was looking at a fish about to take the bait of its own accord. "You go and get a bottle of Felix Elixir and give it to me. This is my test of whether you are qualified to join my Death Eaters."

Early 1974.

Severus Snape handed Voldemort a Felician of perfect quality.

Voldemort looked at the light golden and impurity-free liquid in his hand, curled the corners of his mouth, making an exception and granted Severus the status of Death Eater.

September 1974, Malfoy Manor.

Lucius looked at the secret report in his hand, and angrily swept everything on the desk to the ground.

"The lives of ten dead servants of the family can't even touch the corner of his robe, and even almost exposed himself." He tore the secret report in his hand fiercely, and then those fragments ignited without wind and turned into ashes . "No matter how powerful Voldemort is, he is nothing more than an individual. What do you mean 'he is immortal and invincible'? I worked hard to train you, and finally sent me such ambiguous, even empty words?"

As Lucius' anger rose, the magic power in his body began to riot, and the surrounding objects shattered.

It took a long time for Lucius to calm down slowly.He took a deep breath, suppressing the anger and unwillingness in his heart.

"Be patient, Lucius," he told himself. "Make a decision before you act, at least you now realize how difficult that person is to deal with. Therefore, without being absolutely sure, you must not expose the Malfoy family and yourself."

End of July 1974.

At a Death Eater gathering, Lucius saw Severus Snape for the first time as a member of the Death Eaters.

At that time, Severus Snape was being introduced to everyone with approval by Voldemort.

When the show was over, Severus hurried to Lucius in the crowd. He excitedly wanted to tell his senior that he had learned a lot of profound and powerful black magic from Lord Voldemort, and he even saw a lot of precious Potion recipe!

Now, Severus Snape's reputation has gradually been known, because of the high-quality potions he made, and because he was appreciated by Voldemort.

So, even a wizard from a pure-blood family began to have to give this young potions genius a little bit of a slack.One is to look at Voldemort's actions, and the other is to look at Severus' potential in potions. After all, everyone is injured and sick at times.

Severus wanted to tell this senior who had been helping him that he could already make more complicated potions, and with his current level of magic spells, he could already be Lucius' help.He couldn't wait to repay the kindness Lucius had shown him.

However, when Lucius saw his figure, he gradually accelerated his pace.

"Master Malfoy." Severus chased Lucius, following him to a lonely, uninhabited path.

"How dare you!" As soon as he turned the corner, Lucius slammed Severus against the wall viciously.

He pushed Severus' chin with the snake-headed staff, and his tone was impatient and fast: "How dare you ignore my advice! Hell, who brought you in!" Obviously, he didn't expect Severus Will join the Death Eaters.Knowing this news suddenly, Lucius was going crazy. "You want status and wealth, but there is no way! You choose this one! Do you know who wiped out the Prince family!" His voice was aggressive and ruthless.

"You'll regret it," he said flatly.

Then he let go of Severus' collar with a wave, and looked at him coldly, as if looking at a stranger.

Before Severus could argue, he turned his head and left decisively.

By late 1974, Severus Snape's name had become widely known.

Although he is still just a student at Hogwarts, but because he successfully developed a werewolf potion that can suppress the beast-like mania and bloodthirsty in werewolves on nights of full moon, those werewolves can at least maintain their relationship with humans. Similar reason, and won the commendation of St. Mungo.

However, what comes with fame and honor is not deep satisfaction, but greater pain.

After Severus developed the werewolf potion, he was complacently planning to improve the werewolf potion again, but to everyone's surprise, he failed this time.

Another thing happened that hit him hard.It was Severus who discovered that no matter how much he learned the Dark Arts, there were always others whose magic was more vicious and advanced than his.

People's language has also gradually changed.

From the appreciation at the beginning, some people gradually became suspicious.Then, the mocking voice appeared again.

The human heart is always greedy.

After reaching a goal, after the joy, I will feel deeply discouraged why I didn't reach a higher goal.

I completely ignored how much I had prayed to the gods to achieve this goal.

The path you took may have been originally because of your dreams.

But you also underestimate your own greed.

Your greed is like a glutton that can never get enough, clamoring for you to fill it with a greater sense of accomplishment.

Gradually, you will forget the smile when you cast the first spell, and you will forget the pride you felt when you first saw the success of the potion.

With the first compliment from others, you will think again, why there is no second or third compliment.

You can become overwhelmed by the performance of others.You will forget why you set out on this path in the first place.

The joy you had when you first walked that path.No amount of Galleons or compliments from others can be exchanged for it.

And the price you pay for your greed is the thing you love.

How much I loved it at the beginning, and how much I hate it now.

Severus began to doubt himself.

He began to suspect that he was really as others said, in fact, he didn't have any talent at first, and he got all the previous honors only because of the pursuit of others.

He began to wonder if he was not suitable for learning black magic at all, or if he simply didn't have the ability to pursue such a powerful power.

And, he began to regret deeply.For the first time, he wondered if it was a wrong choice to give up Lily in order to fit into the Slytherin circle.

What is not available is good.

The more you can't get it, the more it will become a kind of paranoia, and finally it will become your obsession.

Early 1975.

Sirius, who had just returned home from vacation, was roughly dragged by his mother Walburga to a small town full of Muggles.

"Sirius Black." Walburga said to him with a somewhat crazy look: "Aren't you a Gryffindor? Come, kill me all the Muggles in this town and prove your courage to me If you kill them, I will admit that you are my son! Go! Go!"

"Are you crazy!?" Sirius looked at his mother, finding her unreasonable.

"Coward! Bastard! Why can't my well-behaved Rael dare! You don't deserve to be a Gryffindor! You don't even deserve to be a Black!" Walburga roared.She shot countless 'blazing flames' with her magic wand, and in an instant, this peaceful town became a hideous hell.

Sirius hurried to make amends.He quickly recited the solution to the curse, but he still couldn't stop the fire from spreading.

When he was in a state of desperation, his hand holding the wand was pulled diagonally from behind, preventing him from swinging the wand and casting spells.Sirius turned his head viciously, but saw that the person who grabbed his hand and refused to let him save someone was actually his younger brother, Regulus.

"Let go!" Sirius yelled at Regulus, "There are innocent people in the fire! I'm going to save them!".However, Regulus did not move at all, holding Sirius' wrist firmly.Seeing Regulus' stubborn behavior, Sirius couldn't help raising his tone anxiously: "Let go, Regulus! I don't want to do anything to you!"

"Brother," Regulus lowered his head, he said softly, "Stop doing things that make mother sad."

Sirius looked at his brother in disbelief.

He couldn't believe that his younger brother Regulus would say such a thing. ,

That is a living life!Can so many innocent lives be ignored just for their mother's happiness?

Sirius closed his eyes fiercely, he suddenly felt that his nostalgia for this family before was simply ridiculous.This home is simply rotten from the root, and no effort can save it.

When Sirius opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of determination.With the other hand, he forcefully broke Regulus's hand away, and then in his mother's 'Don't you dare!I want to exterminate you! 'Exhausting all the magic power in the exclamation, cast a powerful rain spell.Clouds rolled in and rain poured down, dousing the devastating fire.

Sirius stood in the heavy rain, looking at his mother and his brother with a sneer.His clothes were torn through by the violent wind and rain, and they were tightly attached to his body, but the wildness and unrulyness of his body became more and more evident.He wiped the rain off his face indifferently, and said to his mother: "It's too late to get rid of the family. Now, I don't want the Black family. I don't want to exist in this dirty family. You want to be in this dirty family?" I don't care how my name is put on the family tree. You can do whatever you want."

After finishing speaking, he left Walburga, who was so enraged by his words that he could not speak, and Regulus, who was silent. After walking for a while, he summoned the Knight Bus with his magic wand at the intersection, and jumped into the car .

Not once did I look back.
