[HP] Elephant of Time

step in.

"...Don't drive me away."

He has no place to return to, because there is no place he can return to but the grave.

Before Harry could finish speaking, he felt a chill on his face.

Tiny snowflakes fell slowly, spreading between the sky and the earth, covering everything with a layer of pure white.

The two raised their heads at the same time.

Snowing.

The town kids were all running out the door laughing loudly in anticipation of the new playground that would come after the snow.The adults let the spooks run outside, and they don't mind slipping and soiling their clothes—children have to bump into each other to grow up.

"Go back," Snape whispered.

Harry's eyes were wide open, his whole body was trembling violently, his pale lips were tightly pressed together, and the hand that was pulling Snape's clothes became more and more forceful.

Realizing that there was ambiguity in his words, Snape rolled his eyes.

"For God's sake, Potter, it's snowing, leave your poor clothes behind, and go back to the house and draw your poor blueprints."

There are so many ups and downs.At this moment, Harry burst out all the courage that belonged to a lion in his body, and hugged Snape fiercely.

The Potions master froze, his hands were opening and closing in mid-air, he could neither push away nor hug, and finally he could only hold them tightly, and said through gritted teeth: "Mr. It's just snow, isn't the great savior the same as the group of little ghosts next to him who are less than ten years old, being delirious by a mere snow?"

"Severus, can I call you Severus? You can call me Harry too!" Harry said happily like a child, completely ignoring the horror on Snape's face.

"Glad my name entertained you, but no, I don't think we're close enough to go by our Christian names! Potter, let me go! You want everyone in town tomorrow to be talking about the two of us Is it actually an old lover who has been lost for many years?"

"I prefer the one 'Mr. Carls and Harry eloped for love, and were seriously injured and separated when they were chased by their family. It wasn't until five years later that Harry found his lover after going through all kinds of hardships. In the end, the lover lost his memory, and he was sad." Leigh still pulls himself together and tries to intervene in Mr Carls' life to awaken his memory' version."

Snape understood that there was no ambiguity in that voice, it was just a simple joke.

So he lowered his eyelids, sneered, and said softly.

"That's right, I really like 'Harry Potter is the grandson of Old Kars, who was disobedient and wanted to divide the family property after his death, so Mr. Kars will turn him into ashes and make a clock Buried in Kars' garden, warning posterity' of that version."

"Start from 'so', you added everything after that!" The rejuvenated lion hugged the old poisonous snake like a big baby, and his brain that was relatively slow in some respects still didn't understand why he just hugged it. Just one person, you can feel that tomorrow will be better.

The author has something to say: [Note 1] In case someone doesn’t know, a cow has four stomachs.

Harry Lion Potter is officially launched, and the sense of humor comes out in an instant_(:з」∠)_

time flow

Harry was lying on the table in the Karls house, holding a quill to write and draw on the design drawing that was still in the "draft" state, and secretly glanced at the door leading to the basement from time to time.

Even the image of time has been occupied by the potions, and there is no doubt that there is a basement with the same function in the big house of Kars for the first time.

And Mr. Severus Potion Master Snape never came out after he went in.

He knew that holding on to the old bat outside today was a bit... hotheaded?The brains are all evaporated?In Snape's words?All Hogwarts professors who have taught this brain but failed to put anything into it should commit suicide in shame and anger. The Dark Lord who fought against this idiot and lost, and Dumbledore who chose this idiot as his savior broke through his IQ The lower limit is not even as good as Achnatherum splendens.

If the old headmaster was still around, he would have said with a smile that Snape had become much more lively...?While Harry was imagining the old headmaster's bow and star robe, he could still hear the hehehe laughter in his ears.

Involuntarily shuddering at Dumbledore's odd taste, Harry poked the paper twice with the quill.

At least Snape was able to joke about Voldemort and Headmaster Dumbledore already.

After all, Severus' fear of Voldemort was as deep as the pain of killing the old headmaster himself.

It's not that Severus' fear of Voldemort persisted even after his death - they all knew how brave the spy was - but Voldemort symbolized the darkest and most terrifying past of the potions master, pain , Guilt, remorse, confusion, self-blame...they, Severus was the same thing he was afraid of, and that was himself.

Harry realized that this was the first time he thought about the dead without feeling unspeakable pain.

He glanced at the darkening sky outside, the sun will rise normally tomorrow, the adults in the town who are still young at heart will build snowmen and have snowball fights with their children, Severus will definitely stand by the cauldron whenever he gets a chance, And Harry Potter wouldn't be counting the days anymore.

He would like to thank Severus Snape.

Although awkward, petty, mean, potion dead house, old poisonous snake has been squatting by the cauldron and refused to come out since he came back. He didn't even come out for dinner, and the door leading to the basement was still covered with countless spells.

Of course, these spells were not a hindrance to Harry now, but they had clearly expressed the master's strong desire not to be disturbed.

Harry pouted, and continued to focus on the blueprint in his hand.

Then he heard voices.

Tick ​​tock, click, click, the sound of the clock moving gathered in his ears, Harry turned his head sharply to look at the place where the sound came from, a huge clock stood in the hall.

There was an alert gleam in the green eyes, and the wand appeared in his hand.

——In that position, was there such a clock before?

Different from the clocks and watches for sale in The Elephant of Time, this large clock nearly one person tall is gorgeous and weird. Anyone who looks at it will feel that it has magic.

Harry gripped his wand tightly, ready to cast the silent spell. He had long understood the need to be careful with magical objects.

Immediately afterwards, he heard a deep and deep bell ringing "Dang--", the sound seemed to reverberate in the big house as if it had materialized, and with that louder ringing of the bell, Harry even felt the house vibrate slightly.

— This is not right.thought Harry.

It wasn't right that such a commotion hadn't alarmed Severus in the basement.

Harry knew that the potions master's vigilance prevented Severus from using spells to block the noise from the outside even when he was brewing the potion, and he wouldn't even cast a protective spell if it wasn't necessary.

The holly wood wand flashed brilliantly in an instant, and a powerful attacking spell was directed at the big clock.

At the same time as Harry cast the spell, an arc-shaped golden barrier lit up on the surface of the clock, and a huge "∞" symbol flashed across the arc.The attacking spell hit it as if submerged in water, only the sound of a thick bell rang again with a string of bright runes that appeared out of thin air.

Harry's face was dark and solemn, and he no longer suppressed the strength in himself.The ancient magic power radiated from Harry's body, and the tip of the Savior's wand overflowed with light of power, and the space vibrated violently under the influence of this power.

This time it was no longer the bell, but a female voice.

"Please let go of your power and follow the radiance of the golden time flow. We have no hostility, Harry Potter."

The voice was solemn and powerful, like the ringing of a bell, as if the ancient will residing in the altar was whispering to people.

"What are you?" Harry didn't intend to put down his wand at all, but the light of magic power became brighter because of the warning.

After a brief silence, a young man's voice answered Harry's question.

"...we are the stream of time."

"What is the flow of time?"

"The branch of time, the pillar of time, whatever you want to call it, we are a family that guards time."

Harry frowned, thinking quickly of the shattered Time-Turner, of Severus' mysterious adoptive father, the man who had saved the Potions Master from death.

"Are you from the Kars family?"

"Although it's the opposite, you can also understand it that way."

The man's voice is different from the woman's, with a smile, it sounds kind and kind.

"I don't know."

"Well, it seems that you won't let go of your guard if I don't explain clearly. I didn't expect that even Gryffindor has such a strong guard now. You should be more curious and adventurous."

Harry just stared at the wondrous clock—as the Sorting Hat's Gryffindor lion with Slytherin traits, he wouldn't let his guard down even if the man explained the problem.

"To be exact, Kars is made up of the people of Shi Zhiliu, not the people of Shi Zhiliu who were born as Kars, can you understand me when I say this?"

"We have no blood relationship, only inheritance."

"...you chose Severus?"

"To be precise, it's not." The man hesitated, as if he was thinking about how to find a more euphemistic way of saying, "We just wanted to see what caused the ripples in the river of time that has been stable for thousands of years. In the process of looking, we found a 'violator'."

Alarms sounded in Harry's mind.

"Severus Snape - his time should have ended five years ago
