HP father and son became brothers for many years

No one knew how he did it, but before Snape rushed back to his cellar, Dumbledore stood in front of him, trying his best to persuade Snape to take a walk with him after dinner.

"I need your opinion on the reform of the Ministry of Magic, Severus." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Reminiscent of the crazy talk of that stupid dog in the principal's office this afternoon, Snape stopped in his tracks, raised the corner of his mouth and showed a malicious smile.

No matter how much he owed Lily and the Potter boys, he didn't owe Potter and his foolish friends.

He wished he could grasp all the handles of Potter and Stupid Dog!

"A meeting of just two? Are all the pathetic sycophants in the Order celebrating Potter's impending ascension to Minister for Magic? Are they going to lick his heels?"

"I thought you'd prefer Lucius Malfoy to be head of the Ministry."

"But none of you will agree except me."

"I think mutual understanding is necessary."

Snape sneered, followed Dumbledore into an empty basement, and then swung his wand suddenly, causing the door to slam shut, and all the candles embedded in the walls were lit with a puff.

An old floor-to-ceiling mirror appeared in front of them, right in the center of the room, the mirror surface had been covered with dust for a long time, and it was dusty.The top can be vaguely seen as a string of characters.

"Clean up." Dumbledore said the spell, and his old and tired face and Snape's gloomy expression were reflected in the mirror.He smiled, and his glasses slipped a little from the crooked bridge of his nose: "Severus, I realize that there is a difference between us."

"It's always been that way," Snape pointed out mercilessly.

"But differences can be ironed out, for a common purpose." Dumbledore's blue eyes shone kindly.

"As long as I pay Potter all the respect so he can show off his shiny title?" Snape said sarcastically, "but I refuse."

"That's still unknown. We're talking about Fudge, and... Voldemort." The old man moved away from the mirror and paced the room slowly.

Snape's right hand hanging by his side unconsciously clenched into a fist.

"You know, Fudge is greedy for power, and refuses to admit that Voldemort is still alive in order to whitewash the peace. In recent months, the disputes between various departments of the Ministry of Magic have intensified-Alastor gave Thickness a punch?" Next Thickness will Can't point a wand at Alastor's chest? "

"You are finally willing to intervene? No longer stand by?"

"I don't want to cause misunderstanding. Fudge is very disgusted with interference in the regime, and he is not easy to get along with. There are some things where I could not express my opinion before, but now I must."

"Because Fudge would rather die than believe that he will come back?"

"Because he's putting the wizards' safety at risk, and I have to take precautions—yes, as you can imagine... I'm taking advantage of people again, and that includes you."

Dumbledore looked directly at Snape's resentful and disgusted eyes, and stood upright like a Hogwarts castle, unwaveringly: "If this can prevent more and more terrible killings, I choose to discredit my reputation, even though it Never noble."

After a long silence, Snape slowly looked away from the mirror, reluctant to let go, but refused to look at the bright green eyes of the woman in the mirror.

"What are you going to do?" he asked.

"Before Voldemort shows up, the Ministry of Magic must admit that he never died - the spokesperson of the Ministry of Magic can be Fudge, or anyone who is willing to fight for peace in the wizarding world." Dumbledore put one hand on the room The tall round stone pillars in the courtyard look up at the dome carved with ancient patterns.

"...we have no proof."

"That's what you and I are going to do - find evidence that he's alive, that he's still the greatest threat to peace. We can't just wait for him to raise his wand at us, Severus."

Snape pursed his lips, looked at the solemn Dumbledore, wanted to speak several times, but didn't know what to say.He wanted to tell Dumbledore that he didn't want to do it because he was afraid, afraid of the devil.Only Dumbledore in this world can look normal and talk and laugh freely when facing the Dark Lord, but he, Severus Snape, is not confident to that level, and anyone who has seen the Dark Lord's methods is not Dare to do that.As a betrayer, what kind of punishment will I receive?

He subconsciously stared at the branded position on his arm, and his heart convulsed.

bang bang!Someone knocked on the door.

"Oh, I think it should be Remus." Dumbledore put away his serious expression and said cheerfully, ignoring Snape's instant resentment.He didn't even use magic, he opened the door with his hands and invited the comers to join them in their secret meeting, "Welcome back, Remus...and Sirius."

He glanced at Sirius, who had rushed into the room from behind Remus Lupine, and smiled kindly, but sternly, "I thought you had gone back to help James deal with the Ministry of Magic's scrutiny."

"Of course I did. I came back so soon to ask you, what on earth did you ask Remus to do? He—" Sirius said gruffly, with a bit of rage and Complaining emotions.When he saw Snape in the room, he frowned even more.

Snape glared at Mr. Headmaster with an angry expression on his face: "Take Hogwarts as the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix? It can't be better! Even if the Dark Lord wants it, there is nothing he can do!"

Remus Lupine limped in, his tattered robe still had a few blood stains, his entire face was covered with small wounds, as if he had been healed by a healing spell, and he still looked very embarrassed.

"Remus is staying in Hogsmeade for the time being, wouldn't it be nice to meet here?" Dumbledore laughed, "He helped me a lot and was injured again, so I have to ask for something from you Favor—a few doses of potion, it won't bother you for long."

"Is Black's old house too dilapidated to live in? Or has its incompetent owner finally run out of room for his friends?"

"Shut up, snotty! I'm not in the mood to argue with you!"

"It's a strange story. But your appearance makes me think that I will be rewarded with an Avada."

"If Harry agrees!"

Snape's expression stiffened instantly.He twisted his face, and asked in a muffled voice: "What does that mean? Don't play charades, stupid dog!"

"It seems that you didn't notice that the birthday gift was signed? You received too many gifts?" Sirius yelled angrily and jealously, "That kid only thought of giving me a gift at the last moment of my birthday, and a kiss is enough. Sent! But for you—tremendous, Snape! What drug have you given my godson?"

Snape glared at him, saying nothing at first until Sirius flashed him a contemptuous smile.He drew out his wand and said coldly, "It's not as much as what Potter gave you!"

"Don't insult James in front of me!" Sirius also raised his wand.

"Okay, stop it." Remus coughed a few times, stepped forward and grabbed Sirius' wand, stuffed it back into his pocket, and pushed him aside.Remus turned around and explained apologetically to Dumbledore, who was just smiling—"He was spoiled by the popularity of the Ministry of Magic. James and Lily were too. The investigation team of the Ministry of Magic turned Potter's house into a mess... er, he Gave Fudge a deadbolt."

"I'm going to give him a punch! But I don't want to be laughed at by Alastor for imitating Alastor! If I have the chance, I'll give him a fuchsia and see if it makes his brain more flexible Hurry up!" Sirius continued to yell at the side, waving his arms and gesticulating.

"Oh." Dumbledore sighed. "Well, a little unexpected."

"Fudge must be mad, otherwise he wouldn't have ordered Sirius to be dismissed." Remus raised his chin, pointing to the indifferent Sirius, "He didn't listen to James and Lily, and planned to find you—I guess To persuade you to become Minister of Magic. I met him in front of the gates of Hogwarts, and he was not allowed in, and was about to cause a little sabotage."

Snape sneered.Sirius blushed rarely, it wasn't that obvious, but he looked at Remus very uncomfortably, probably never been so reprimanded by his friend, in front of their former mutual enemy.

"You think so too?" Dumbledore looked at Remus, whose gaze was involuntarily attracted by the content in the mirror, and was in a daze.

"Sorry?" Remus came to his senses and carefully avoided the weird mirror, but the mirror aroused Sirius' interest, and he stood carelessly at the position where Remus was just now, looking left and right.Remus immediately turned to Dumbledore: "No, you never cared about fame. It's clear to me that you only want to do one thing with all your heart and soul, and that one thing that neither of us can do."

Dumbledore laughed softly.He shook his head, and his wise and sharp eyes swept over the faces of the three of them one after another—"I'm not the one destined to defeat him."

Sirius looked at the mirror with a gentle, cheerful smile, and stretched out a hand to try to hold the hand of the person in the mirror.Suddenly his eyes widened, his expression panicked, and he staggered back a few steps.Hearing Dumbledore's words, he was shocked and saddened.

"Do you want a child to bear it? Is it really that cruel?" Remus muttered to himself.

"It can only be so." Dumbledore smiled gratifiedly when he saw that they were sad for the child, "but each of us will do our best to help him——them. Backstabs, sneak attacks...they bravely accepted their fate. Is this bad?"

"Wonderful," said Snape, with hatred he had never felt before. "We watched them go to their deaths!"

"It was you who told me what little Mr. Malfoy said." Dumbledore walked to the mirror again, looking at the scene in the mirror very seriously, "I believed you, I believed—that was real."

"You're pinning your hopes on a baby's sleepwalking?"

"Otherwise why did you agree to my terms, Severus? You do it because you believe in hope. Harry will live and have children. We both know what that means."

There was another long silence in the room.The night wind crept in through the unclosed door, and the candlelight flickered along with it, and their figures reflected on the wall also swayed slightly.

There was the sound of chaotic footsteps and cheerful and noisy voices coming from overhead.Hundreds of children are moving.They had dinner and were content to go back to their warm and comfortable dormitory.They talk about hobbies, make friends, worry about work, laugh at pranks... They are full of life and don't know the ugliness of the world.

"Stay by their side, stay closest to them, Remus, there is always a chance to avenge your revenge." Dumbledore said, or was discussing.

But when he looked at Sirius, his tone became severe, almost commanding, "Don't let the Ministry of Magic degenerate into what we don't want to see, don't let the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic stand against each other."

Then, he begged Snape, yes, the white-haired and silver-bearded old man looked at Snape with pleading eyes--"Come with me, find him, prove that he is still our enemy...and do what you have to do , until he is defeated."

"Or I'll be killed." Snape added coldly, but he no longer resisted Dumbledore's arrangement, "but anyway, I swear on my life that I will keep Lily's son safe and sound."

"Thank you." Dumbledore looked at them and walked towards the door, "I decided to go back and have a good sleep and have a good dream - there are too many things waiting for me, and there is always not enough time, but I think One night full of sweet dreams is enough for me to deal with everything. Promise me, you guys, have a good talk... Let the past be the past, okay?"

There were only three of them left in the room, Remus looked at Snape and Sirius who still repulsed each other and loathed each other, smiled wryly for a while, and decided to give the two of them more time to calm down.

"Nice to meet you, Severus." Remus smiled. "We're not kids anymore, and standoff games are outdated. And you, Padfoot, grow up, you're two 11s now The godfather of the [-]-year-old boy." He also left, and closed the door behind him.

Is everyone expecting them to shake hands and make peace?Snape thought in disgust, amused at the possibility.Even if Merlin stood in front of him, he wouldn't want to reconcile with this stupid dog and that damned Potter!

"Harry and Albus have names. Their names are Harry James Potter and Albus Remus Potter." Sirius said seriously, and he really looked like a godfather , "Don't call them 'Lily's sons'. I am touched by your oath, but I still have to remind you to pay attention to your identity...she is the mother of the children."

Snape's sallow face became increasingly ugly.After a while, he twisted the corner of his mouth, and with that velvety voice and that malicious smile, he came behind Sirius—"It's you who should pay attention to your identity, stupid dog! Think about it, you What do you see in this mirror... hear your heart... who do you leave it to? James Potter?"

He chuckled softly, feeling relieved.He took a step forward, opened the door smartly, and walked away.

He didn't need to look, he knew how wonderful Sirius Black's face was, and that guy couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal.Because I guessed it right.Snape thought viciously.Because he was caught by me.

Not bad for a meeting of four, isn't it?

In the corridor outside the door, Snape glanced at Remus Lupine, who was leaning against the wall and silent with his head down, and suddenly felt that he seemed to understand a lot of things.

I am not the only one in this world who suffers so much, so does he, and so do you.

I don't deserve those warmth, but you, go ahead and torture each other's hearts!
