[HP] Illusion

If Petunia hadn't run from Lily's crying and went to 11 Hibiscus Road, yelling at Harry at the door, maybe little Snape would never have known that Petunia had asked Harry to give Hogg About Watts sending the letter, it's a pity that Petunia has lost her mind at this time. She not only screamed at Harry, but also regarded Lily and Snape as accomplices—

When Lily dug out the letter, Petunia screamed hysterically after being stimulated. She angrily accused Harry of breaking his promise, and attributed all the reasons for what happened to Harry's informant.

To be honest, Harry was a little dizzy——

Because of the excitement, Petunia's expression was incoherent and illogical, but judging from her expression, Harry quickly understood what happened.

"She found the letter... sure you told her... why should I believe you... you're a liar..." Petunia cried out of breath.

Is it still the case?Harry's heart twitched.

History once again returned to the original point——

In that memory, Snape discovered that Petunia was secretly contacting Hogwarts. He didn't believe that Muggles could contact the wizarding world, so he encouraged Lily to go to Petunia's room to confirm, but in that memory Well, Lily wasn't caught straight, but Lily said it herself before they boarded the Hogwarts train.

But what Harry couldn't understand was why Lily found that letter?

Petunia glared at Harry angrily. She hid the letter very well, but Lily found it. Was it because someone told her or something?And the only one who knows the letter is the person in front of him, and maybe...

Little Snape, who heard the noise in the house, happened to be coming out of the house, so he became the next target of Petunia's anger. "You must have told this boy from Spider's End!" She said decisively, "He just told Lily, it must be like this, why are you doing this to me..."

Little Snape looked at Petunia coldly, as if looking at a clown, with a disdainful expression on his face.

At this time, Lily also hurried over from home, followed by Mrs. Evans who looked nervous.Because Petunia's voice was too loud, Lily and Mrs. Evans heard Petunia's accusations against Harry verbatim.

Lily said unhappily: "Petunia, what are you talking about? No one told me. I just discovered it by accident..."

"Impossible—" Petunia screamed, "You must be on purpose, you are all freaks, using your disgusting abilities, it must be like this!"

"Petunia!" Mrs. Evans' face was ugly, but she still understood Petunia's words, "That's not the case, Lily and I were cleaning your room, Lily happened to see the box, she said It's your childhood memories..."

"Do you believe her?" Petunia sneered, "I'm afraid she already knew, she just wanted to find a joke to see me."

"Petunia!" Mrs. Evans exasperated.

Harry's face was ugly, because from the beginning, he hadn't said a word.Little Snape always thought his expression was weird, but both he and Lily knew that Harry never told anyone about it, so why did Harry have such an expression?

Inexplicably, little Snape felt that Harry's appearance looked very familiar, a bit like the expression on the boy who bought the wand with them that day.

"I'm sorry, Harry." Mrs. Evans pulled Petunia to apologize to Harry, but Petunia was struggling desperately and refused to give in.

"Petunia, I really discovered it by accident. It has nothing to do with Harry. You can't say that." Lily's beautiful face was covered with tears at this time, and the emerald green eyes were stained with thick mist. His eyes were also completely red, and he looked extremely sad.

Petunia still wanted to speak, but the Evans couple gave her a hard look. She held Petunia's hand tightly, as if giving a final warning.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not," Harry finally calmed down, and he said calmly, "I'll just say this once, I didn't say this, I didn't even know that Hogwarts had given You replied, let alone where you hid it, if you don’t believe me, there is nothing I can do, so I can’t apologize to you for this matter, please calm down and think about what is the truth.”

It was the first time Lily saw Harry look so angry—even if she deliberately put on a face when teaching them, she wouldn't be as completely black as she is now. The red-haired girl was a little scared, and it was all her fault , if it wasn't for her whim, "I'm sorry, Penny, I really don't know..."

"Shut up, I don't need your hypocritical apology!" Petunia gave Lily a hateful look, shook off Mrs. Evans' hand, and quickly ran away.

The remaining Lily and Mrs. Evans all looked guilty, especially Mrs. Evans.First of all, not to mention that their family and this neighbor are close after seeing each other, what is more important is that this neighbor is so nice, and even taught Lily, who was born in a family that does not know magic, the purpose is to let her quickly adapt to life in the magic school. Harry had helped them so much, but now he was accused of being rude by his eldest daughter, which couldn't be justified no matter how he looked at it.

"I'm sorry Harry," Mrs. Evans said apologetically. "I'll talk to her when I get back. When she clears things up, I'll bring her here to apologize to you."

Harry was on the verge of telling Mrs. Evans that there was no need for an apology, but he finally endured it.

Mrs. Evans's attitude is already clearly biased towards him, and that's enough. In fact, Harry is not interested in Petunia's apology at all. Instead of accepting her cursed apology, it's better to go on like this. At this point, he has no interest in Petunia at all.

"Who does she think she is!" Little Snape said angrily as soon as he entered the room, "How dare she say that, she's just a Muggle..."

"Severus!" Harry stopped immediately, "Remember what I said? Don't look down on Muggles, do you remember?"

"But..." Little Snape looked at Harry in astonishment, obviously the girl was wrong.

"Severus," Harry sat on the sofa with a tired face, he reached out and rubbed his forehead through his bangs, "You and I both know that there are always many people in the world who are self-centered, They always think that they are right. When such people have problems, they always find problems from others, and they never reflect on themselves. We don’t need to care about such people, because it’s not worth it.”

If it was really wrong, maybe he shouldn't have agreed to Petunia in the first place.He was wrong.

It has to be said that after hearing these words, little Snape felt much more at ease.

"But not all Muggles are like this. They just don't have magical powers, and it's not a crime. Don't generalize Muggles into one category of people..." Prejudice is often the culprit that makes things worse.

This... obviously he has suffered from it before.

He was once blinded by prejudice, even if the truth was in front of him, he would not believe it.

"A lot of things are not that simple." Harry knew that he was not simply talking about Petunia, but he couldn't help it. "Let's not just see the surface of things."

Probably... Little Snape couldn't understand either.

But at this moment, little Snape did have a dazed expression.

"It's all right," Harry whispered, "remember what I said, you'll understand later."

Little Snape nodded half-understood.

"About Petunia..." Harry explained after thinking about it, "She just feels ashamed, she needs a way to vent, and she will probably figure it out later."

Snape is so smart, although he doesn't know what the whole thing is, but after summarizing everyone's arguments, he can also come up with a general idea, "Did Petunia really ask you to write a letter to Hogwarts?" ?”

Harry nodded.

"I knew it!" Little Snape said angrily, "She must be jealous of us, she kept calling me and Lily monsters," he snorted coldly, "She wants to become us... become a..."

"Severus." Harry scowled, "Don't say that. Even if you're telling the truth."

Little Snape obviously couldn't understand.

"She is Lily's older sister. You have to worry about Lily's feelings. You can ignore her, but you can't say such things to Lily."

"I just told you..." young Snape muttered softly.

Harry finally understood why little Snape said such things to Lily at that time. Of course, his hatred of Muggles was the biggest reason. Petunia's bad personality was also a reason, but there was another most important reason. Because of his exclusive desire for Lily, he wants Lily to break off with Petunia and let her be completely his own.

But at that time Snape didn't understand that even if Lily broke up with Petunia, Petunia was still Lily's sister, and it was Lily who suffered in the end.

He didn't understand that he was only pushing Lily farther and farther—

He likes Lily, but he doesn't know how to like him.Perhaps it should be said that from the very beginning, Snape was thinking about himself, he was greedy for the warmth that Lily brought him, but at that time he hardly considered her from Lily's standpoint.

The old bat is indeed a very gloomy and selfish guy.

From the beginning to the end, everything he did was for Lily, for atonement, not for what Dumbledore said, for the greater good.

So when it was all over, he gave up his life too.

Harry, who understood all this, had a wry smile on his lips.

How can he change all this?

"I won't say it in the future." Little Snape walked in front of Harry, if Harry was so embarrassed by these words, he could not say them.

"Huh?" Harry's eyes widened. What did he hear?

"I won't say that about her anymore..." Little Snape said with some difficulty, "Just ignore her."

As long as little Snape doesn't get involved, maybe the relationship between Lily and Petunia can be eased?In fact, Harry can't control these things, because it depends on what Petunia thinks, but after this incident, the relationship between Petunia and Lily... probably won't be very good.

Perhaps this is also a good result?

☆☆☆

After a few points, Lily didn't come to Harry's kind. Harry went to Evans' house to ask several times, but Lily declined with various excuses. As they got closer, their time became tighter and tighter.

It should be said that his time is getting tighter and tighter.

Harry observed the hourglass on the necklace every day, but this time he felt that the time seemed a little strange.

This memory should be about the day they boarded the Hogwarts train, but that day has not yet arrived, and the rest of the hourglass has almost bottomed out.

This time, he seemed to be staying here for exactly a month.

He came here before his birthday, which meant that he couldn't stay until the day when Snape and Lily went to school.

Because he had to leave, Harry woke up this morning and told Snape about it.

Little Snape was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his eyes, and whispered, "I'm going to school soon."

"I can't help it," said Harry, who also looked frustrated—in fact, he was even more frustrated than he was. "There's a little problem with my work, so I have to go back and deal with it urgently."

"Then can you come back before I go to school?" Young Snape seemed to have accepted the fact.

"Okay." Harry replied quickly.

Little Snape quickly raised his head, his eyes brightened a lot.

"I'll be back soon," Harry promised. According to the traversal rules he had figured out, he would definitely be able to arrive...at least on the same day, and the refresh location should be at King's Cross Station. "These days, you may have to stay here by yourself."

Little Snape nodded silently.

Harry thought for a while and said, "If there is anything you can ask Mr. and Mrs. Evans and Lily for help."

Because there was still a little time before he left, Harry took little Snape to Diagon Alley for shopping.

He wasn't at home, and the young man didn't know how little Snape made food, anyway, they would go to school in a few days, so Harry bought enough ready-to-eat food in Diagon Alley to last a week , so that little Snape could be fed.

But by coincidence, he ran into his father again in Diagon Alley.

And it still hits right.

When James walked towards him without looking at the road, Harry was almost knocked to the ground, and even Snape, who was following him, staggered.

While standing still, Harry also saw clearly who was so reckless.

——Harry has some doubts. Perhaps James, like Lily, has an indissoluble bond with him, because his appearance time in this memory is approaching.

"Sorry, I didn't hit you, did I?" James scratched his hair and said carelessly.He glanced at Harry, then at little Snape, "Ah, I recognize you, you are the guy who went to buy a wand with that red-haired girl, yes, Lily, that day."

Two "guys": "..."

"Oh, Lily, I mean, isn't the girl here?"

His unabashed speech made the corners of Harry's mouth twitch unconsciously.

"She didn't come."

Little Snape was a little displeased, he secretly tugged at the hem of Harry's clothes, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

"That's such a pity... Oh, no, I mean," James said awkwardly, "it's not bad just for you to go shopping, by the way, where are you going? I know this place very well, do you want to lead the way? Yes Yes, my name is James."

Harry: "..."

Because of James' appearance, Harry's attention seemed to be entirely on him. Little Snape glanced at Harry several times, but the young man didn't react.

"Are you really familiar?" Harry looked interested.

But little Snape's expression was a little astonished, obviously Harry was familiar with this place, why did he say that?

"Yes, do you need me to help you?" James said very enthusiastically.

Harry knew he shouldn't, but unconsciously he wanted to be close, just like he was close to his mother.

This seemed to be the first time that I had a real conversation with my father.

——He really couldn't bear it.

"If you have time." Harry apparently accepted the invitation.

At an angle that Harry didn't notice, little Snape's mouth was tightly pursed, and his hands hidden in his sleeves were also tightly clenched into fists.

But he didn't say anything, but quietly walked aside, listening to the conversation between the noisy boy and Harry.

It's all pointless nonsense.Young Snape thought angrily.

Completely different from Harry's purpose, while James was leading them the way, he also kept inquiring about Lily's news. The motive was obviously not pure, which also made Snape very upset.

But it wasn't here that made him most unhappy.

The three of them went to the ice cream shop together, and when Harry asked for ice cream, James also ordered vanilla flavor like them.

James continued to ask questions about Lily, but the more he wanted to know, the more vague Harry became.

"Why don't you speak?" James' attention finally turned to Snape who had been silent.

That gloomy-looking boy was with Lily that day, so they should be very familiar.Maybe he could ask about Lily from his mouth.

Little Snape snorted almost inaudibly.

Harry: "..."

Do it so soon?Why can't he notice anything.

Wait... Could it be that Snape was jealous and angry because James kept asking questions about Lily?

——It has to be said that a certain person really went in the wrong direction completely.

James obviously felt the hostility from Snape, but he also didn't understand what was going on. He didn't seem to offend this person, did he?

"What do you mean?

Seeing James' sudden change of expression, Harry quickly smoothed things over, "He's a little uncomfortable today, that's why he hasn't spoken all the time."

"I didn't!" Snape retorted unhappily.

But because of the boy's attitude, James didn't try to hit him again until he left.

Little Snape had been paying attention to Harry's every move. After that annoying James left, he obviously felt that Harry's mood suddenly sank.

This is not right.Something is wrong.Young Snape glared at Harry.

He could clearly see that Harry's expression was the same as that day, even more serious than the day when James left and Petunia yelled at him.

Because he himself looks very thin, so when he enters such a mood, his whole body seems to be listless.

What is the reason?

He didn't know how to describe Harry's mood, but one thing Snape was sure of was that he didn't like Harry like this.

It was that annoying James, and Petunia, that made Harry like this.Little Snape pursed his lips and frowned slightly.

——Harry would definitely vomit blood if he knew the reason why Snape and James would hate each other in the future, and even become a deadly enemy.

"What else should we buy?" Little Snape called out to Harry, trying to change the subject.

"Also..." Harry thought for a while, "You have to take flying lessons in the first grade, but it seems that you can't bring your own broom, so I won't buy it for you."

Little Snape nodded silently, not ashamed to say that he didn't need Harry to buy it for him.

But fortunately, Harry didn't seem to be in the terrible mood just now.

"A broomstick?" Little Snape was actually very interested in this topic. Harry once said that flying was his best skill, but they never practiced it.

"By the way," Harry thought for a while, "Let's go and see if we can rent some brooms. Before I leave, I'll give you and Lily a flying lesson."

Young Snape nodded.

"Flying is more difficult to control than magic," Harry knew before that not everyone had the same talent for flying as he did, just like Hermione, although she was so smart, it was obvious that her motor cells were not very developed.

Harry felt a little regretful, he should have given little Snape flying lessons earlier in the morning.

Now he and James seem to be starting to dislike each other. When it comes to flying lessons, maybe James will give Snape a blow like Malfoy did.

And the biggest problem was that Snape Jr. didn't have the flying talent like him.

So in general, Harry can probably guess where things are going.

——! ! !

Then again, if James couldn't show off to Snape, wouldn't the relationship between the two of them still be settled?

Merlin's boxers, what are these!

The author has something to say: /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~ There were not many comments in the last chapter... Sang Xin fell down on the toilet in tears...

11 and her little partner who hit the glass heart too much (who obviously only has herself→_→

╮(￣▽￣")╭I suspect that even if I update 9000 a day, there will be no comments/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

Well, the title of this chapter: Knotting beams

→_→So, Snape Jr. will still become rivals with James...but the reason is very different.

I have to say, when I came up with this misunderstanding, I accidentally cried...

Why is the little daughter-in-law I wrote so cute【Hey】
