[HP] Elephant of Time

In his whole life, he didn't love directly, but hated clearly.

But for Harry Potter, even he himself couldn't tell.

He has been watching this child, in order to protect him, from the moment he entered school.He followed him, studying his manners, so he knew that the boy was not doing well with his relatives.He didn't move. If Dumbledore didn't interfere, he would have no reason to interfere with the savior's growth. Grinding and suffering can motivate people to move forward. Whether it's Dumbledore, the Dark Lord or himself is the best proof .

He just looked at Harry Potter and got a little revenge for his resemblance to James Potter, a pain in his left chest for his resemblance to Lily.Gradually, he couldn't tell what was in the long stare besides the guilt towards Lily—he didn't want to tell.

The patron saint's doe has not changed, and sometimes he feels that he is looking at the child, just like the doe is looking at the fawn, because it is so similar to the way Dumbledore looks at them that even he feels sick.Fortunately, there was Dumbledore at that time, and all the guiding care and all the warm scenes could be handed over to the old man. He was the best shield in front of him.

Now that Dumbledore is gone, the child's elders can't help him because of his fame, and his friends can't help him because of his immaturity. He can only tear off all those disguises and block himself in front of the savior.

"I didn't do it." Snape gently closed his eyes, resisting the urge to replace words with vicious curses, trying to suppress the nausea brought about by dissecting himself in front of a Potter, "Potter, I can't do it .”

——If Dumbledore was still there, if that clever werewolf was still there, even, if that stupid dead dog was still there!No matter what, he will not let himself fall to this point!

"How could you not be able to do it?" Harry smiled weakly. "You are Severus Snape. Voldemort was tricked by you, and Dumbledore valued you the most."

"Harry Potter is the savior, still curled up in my house, in his 20s like a beast with a broken leg."

"Then what's the same? The reputation of the savior was bought at the expense of my mother's life. The plan to eliminate Voldemort was arranged by Principal Dumbledore. You gave me the information about the Death Eaters. Hermione, Ron, and Neville ..." He trembled, "And Sirius, Remus... I can't do more than them... I couldn't even prevent their death, what kind of savior?"

"Although I don't expect you to listen carefully in class, Potter, you have studied the history of magic and you know the history of Muggles. In any war-any one, is there ever a situation where there are no dead people on one side? Happened?" Seeing Harry preparing to refute something, a surge of anger swept through Snape's heart, real anger.

He raised his voice, yelling the way he would in class yelling at idiots who misplaced materials: "Don't tell me you should die first because you're the savior—that's unbelievably arrogant, Arrogance and stupidity! Not even Dumbledore dared to say that he could replace anyone's sacrifice! Don't be naive, Potter, and don't let their deaths be made worthless by you fool!"

He stomped on the floor angrily and took a few steps back and forth.

"They saved you because you were worth it, you were everyone's hope, and while I've always found it silly, if you died first, there's no question that Dumbledore's banner would fall. In order for you to be able to In the end, anyone can become a stepping stone for sacrifice without hesitation, and I am no exception! But that is tactics, strategy, calculation of gains and losses, and trade-offs, although you Gryffindor lions dismiss these , but human instinct is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, all of your actions represent this, everyone chose the final victory! And you did not let them down, you defeated the Dark Lord, everyone owes you, you And act like an idiot that you owe everyone! Potter, do you want Dumbledore to repent in his grave for putting you in the position of savior?"

Snape's last words hit Harry like a whip, making him look pained.He knew that his painful appearance would make those who looked at him more painful, which was why he ran away from the magic world, he just didn't know what to do, he just... couldn't convince himself, he just couldn't do it.

After the potions master roared angrily and happily, it suddenly occurred to him that he didn't want to make the savior feel more guilty and miserable. Hell, maybe he should go to Willut to ask about the effect of Muggle psychotherapy. No one at Hogwarts had ever taught him how to soothe a fragile heart.

The nobles of Slytherin follow the law of the jungle, the weak will prey on the strong, and if they are not strong enough, they will die, regardless of their spirit or strength.In the darkest age, it's not like he hasn't seen a weak guy who would make life in the academy worse than death.

"Potter, Harry." Snape said a little self-destructively, "Death does not pass, loss does not pass, guilt does not pass, pain does not pass, as long as you think about them, they are there. Dumbledore Lido once said that a person’s life is like traveling constantly, from one point to another, the point that has been reached cannot be regarded as the point that has not been visited, and the point that has not been reached will never know what kind of scenery will be. As long as the road is still In the continuation, there is always hope in the future. Sometimes I really hate his unreasonable optimism and never giving up, but he has indeed lived a much longer time than us, and is a rare wise man in the wizarding world .”

That was the only time to talk, he gave up and continued to shut out the old man's care because of the little time left for the old man and the pain of the curse he endured, he knew that Dumbledore had no choice, and still couldn't bear it. Can't help but resent him for leaving the rest of the mess to himself.But the old man seemed to see his determination to seek death, and always said some optimistic and encouraging words.

——Severus, I always feel that your life is still long.Dumbledore looked at him cheerfully, the immortal phoenix whirled and whispered beside him, and the memories were so beautifully embellished that it softened his heart.

Snape imitated the expression and tone of the old man at that time, and said softly.

"Harry, you've only passed one-eighth of your life, don't give up on yourself so quickly."

The author has something to say: If you have a relative, you can’t see it, try a fake update

Thank you Mengyan.Dear grenade, I am really flattered.

If there are no accidents, another chapter will be added tonight.

Magic wand

There was no end to that conversation.

After Snape struggled to squeeze the last bit of friendliness and tenderness out of him, the two fell silent.Silence, silence... Snape found Harry Potter asleep.

For a moment the Potions Master wanted to pull out his wand and say the Death Curse - thanks again for five years of self-cultivating small town life.

Hesitating between throwing Potter here and letting him go back to sleep, or waking the guy up and letting him go back to bed, the potions master first cast a sleep spell to make the savior sleep deeper - an act that actually woke him up Harry, but before he could react, Snape's spell took effect - and the Levitation Charm threw him to sleep in the guest room of the Great House.

That's why Harry woke up the next morning in a strange room.

The golden and red patterns on the walls are low-key and luxurious, and the same series of decoration styles as in the living room made Harry vaguely guess where he was, and felt incredible about it.

His sleepy head seemed to be working again, thinking about what he was like yesterday, Harry wanted to fall asleep immediately.But the weight in my heart did loosen a little, as if a large burden had been let go.Immediately afterwards, he recalled the strange blue bird and the transaction involving life-Harry jumped out of bed suddenly, rushed out of the room to look for Snape.

"Good manners as always, isn't it, Potter?" Snape sat at the dining table, paused for a moment with the knife and fork in his hand, looked up at Harry at the corner of the stairs, and said sarcastically.

"Professor...yesterday...that bird..."

Harry's excited words were interrupted by Snape.

"I'm not a professor at Hogwarts anymore, Potter." Snape put down his knife and fork with a disgusted expression, wiped his lips with a napkin, "I know what you're going to ask, you You can interfere with this matter, but first pack yourself up and go down to eat breakfast, we have a lot of things to do today-don't worry, I have no interest in suddenly dying for no reason the next day after recovering my memory."

Harry was eating a rich breakfast while stealing glances at Snape, who was reading a Muggle newspaper. No matter how you looked at it, the scene was fantastic.

"Potter, I don't have pumpkin juice or ham and eggs on my face, may I ask what you're looking at?" There was a hint of danger in the low voice, as if Snape had exhausted all his affection for Potter last night. Gentle and patient, today's potions master is like a powder keg that explodes at the first step.

——Actually, I am angry from embarrassment.

"You're reading The Times..."

"Any questions?"

"That's a Muggle newspaper." Harry's tone was full of disbelief, as if Snape was reading a Muggle newspaper as a sign of the end of the world.

Snape folded the newspaper vigorously and set it aside.

Put up with this brat, he's a sick man!The Potions Master kept telling himself.He can't let the wizarding world save the world
