[HP] Elephant of Time

When he was a mysterious young man, it was rare for Kars to feel annoyed.

That didn't have an ounce of relationship to him, he was just going to get on with his life instead of wasting all his brains on some stupid stupid dude of unknown origin.

Thinking of the young man's actions over the past week and the consequences of these actions, Kars narrowed his sharp black eyes displeased.Damn it, almost all the residents in the town now know that the young man's goal is him!Thinking of those gossip eyes in the name of goodwill, Kars had the urge to curse, and in fact he did, ruthlessly, from the bottom of his heart.

If there is any dissatisfaction with the residents of the town, except for the character that seems to him to be too kind to be close to idiots, it is the speed with which they spread gossip and the strange ability to create gossip.

Two days ago, the ten-year-old kid who lived across the street from Jesse's house actually pulled him on the street and asked if that Harry damn Potter was his lover.God damn it, look at the upbringing of these stupid brats with snotty eyeballs covered in shit, that Potter was a man, a man!If he was a professor, they should all be severely locked up, holding "Grammar Application" and "Polite Society" and copying it a hundred times over and over again!

With the nervelessness of those people, Kars would not be surprised that this matter would reach the ears of the other party within a day. Thinking of this, the most outstanding clock maker in England couldn't help feeling angry.

—that damned Potter!

Harry Potter, who was sitting in the old house in Kars, shuddered violently.He began to wonder if it was the right decision to approach the man who apparently lost his memory so hastily.Even if he had been Snape - oh no, God, was there really something irreparably wrong with his brain - just because that was Snape, approaching him was the stupidest thing to do!

But Harry knew he couldn't control himself, from the moment he smelled the familiar smell, from the moment he faced the familiar face, he couldn't wait any longer.He wanted an answer, an answer that was somewhat cruel for Snape to bring up, so he came, so he approached, not for anyone else but for himself.

It doesn't matter what happened before, it doesn't matter what you felt about that man before, he just wanted to ask - Snape, how did you survive after all this was over?You, who set protecting Harry Potter and hating Harry Potter as the goal of the rest of your life, how did you support yourself to survive after all the missions were over?

Even if this question is extremely cruel, even if this question is bloody, he believes that if he hadn't met Theo Leif Kars, he would have blurted out this question already.

He could almost imagine the man satirizing himself with his usual sneer: "Don't I have the right to live without the great savior? Don't be self-righteous, Potter..." Then there is no room for people to speak back vicious words.

But at the same time, Harry firmly believed that if it was Severus Snape, he would be able to give him the answer.

Nobody but Severus Snape could give him that answer.

They also passed through the gloomy childhood; they also dedicated their lives to the only goal, voluntary and involuntary; they also had no other relatives and were alone.It's just that Harry Potter catered to others to make himself less lonely, while Snape used a cold coat to cover up the ubiquitous loneliness.

Harry sighed deeply—Snape had amnesia now, and he didn't survive because he had a new support, but because he forgot that his mission as a support was over.Then his answer may no longer be meaningful to him.

But he was Snape.Harry heard a small voice inside himself.

In the past two years, he imagined that in the entire wizarding world, if he had to choose a family to live in, if the other party agreed, where would he choose.There was a Harry Potter who would have chosen the Weasleys, before they had separate lives, before none of them left.Now, Harry would choose Snape.

Even with Ron and Hermione, there were times when it was inconvenient.If it was Snape, as long as the other party agreed, there would be no interruptions. Anyway, they were all alone, and Snape had always been alone.Most of all, it was Harry Potter that Snape hated, not the savior or anyone, just Harry Potter, the son of James and Lily, a nasty Gryffindor.

Not even Sirius could do it.Harry still remembered Sirius' icy tone in the fireplace—adventures were fun for James.

The sour feeling in my heart at that time is still lingering when I think about it.

The author has something to say: In fact, it has never been clear whether Snape saw Harry himself or not.

If yes, then the love and hatred are the continuation of Harry's parents, if not... Snape has always stood in the position of the elders towards Harry, no matter whether it is good intentions or malice, he always oppresses others as a professor.Contrast Sirius who almost treats Harry like a brother, so I'm confused...

Here it is assumed that Snape was really looking at Harry Potter himself to Harry, so be it... TAT

asphyxia

In the third week of Harry's arrival in the town, the rumors showed no signs of dying down.From the old lover of the watchmaker who has been looking for amnesia to the secret illegitimate son of the Kars family who wants to get back the property, the residents of the town have evolved countless versions of Harry's identity, and by the way, countless possibilities before the watchmaker lost his memory.Such as family hatred, waves of love, etc., all kinds of bloody.

Although no one dares to go to any of the protagonists to verify, it does not prevent the two protagonists from knowing.

"I'm sorry...uh, I didn't expect..." Harry sat uncomfortably in the chair, the gaze of Kars - he would probably never get used to the name - giving him the urge to run away at any time.

"If you're just here to talk nonsense, please don't waste my time. Clear your mind before you start, or you're more inclined to let someone else clean it up." Feeling emotional because of the growing rumors The terrible watchmaker glanced at the savior, the cold light in his black eyes made people tremble.

The savior who was once again scanned by the death ray swallowed, he deeply felt the lack of words in himself, especially in front of this man.He never knew that after two years of living out of people's sight, his language skills had been reduced to the point where he could not clearly express what he wanted to express.

"K...Mr. Carls." Harry said timidly, and then fell silent again.

The former master of potions with amnesia and the current watchmaker gave him a cold look.The brat always made him feel uneasy, even when he acted like a shy, sweet, sunny, bright-eyed fool who was perfectly fit for his age.

Kars recalled the cold winter night when he brought the man home. The young man stood in the darkness and stared in a certain direction, just like the Minotaur staring at the exit of a maze[Note].

—Is it a monster?

He sensed the young man's danger, but he couldn't ignore it.After all, on that night, the other party looked like broken dewdrops, ready to be evaporated by the rising sun at any moment.

"Mr. Potter." Carls spoke tactfully, trying to tactfully express that the other party was not so popular, "The sun outside helps to evaporate the moldy things in your mind, you can be anywhere in this town Have a great day, except in my shop."

—apparently his euphemisms were not so successful.Because the young man on the opposite side laughed, his green eyes sparkling.Damn shiny!

"Teach... oh, Mr. Kars, you are so humorous." Harry couldn't restrain the smile that burst into his heart for a moment, that Severus Snape, the mean, the words always made people feel his own Severus Snape, born sinfully, would try to be tactful!This is even more terrifying than the loss of Trelawney's chatter.

Kars' face darkened completely.

"So, Mr. Potter is determined to bother your poor busy landlord in this little shop, rather than move your honorable footsteps?"

"Oh, come on, my landlady, you're not busy, are you?" Harry picked up the conversation easily, and then became stiff in an instant.How dare he talk to that old bat like that!

Kars indifferently observed the kaleidoscopic expressions on Harry's face until they were frozen in a strange state.

"Harry Potter," he said suddenly in a solemn tone, "you know me."

Affirmative.

Whether it's the young man's weird surprise when they first met, or the various signs he has carefully explored these days, it all shows that this young man is familiar with "him".For a person with amnesia, that familiarity can only come from his forgotten past.

Harry's expression froze on his face. He looked at the man sitting among the clocks. His tense face covered all expressions, and his eyes were as cold as the surface of obsidian, leaving no gaps.

——It looked as if the double agent from the past had returned.

"Yes, sir." Harry chose his words carefully, hoping not to be caught by the man, although it was almost impossible, "You look a lot like someone I know, or rather, I
