Sirius was slightly stunned. He glanced at his own wand lying on the ground, then looked up at Snape, as if he was meeting him for the first time, and carefully sized him up from head to toe.

This was obviously more unacceptable to Snape than the mutual attacks and scolding just now. His expression was still twisted, the corners of his lips were tightly pursed, and he raised his wand again, pointing the tip of the wand at the still sitting on the ground. He let out a sneer and dragged his voice mockingly: "Of course, of course, choosing to pick up the wand and fight in embarrassment is a more difficult choice, isn't it? There is no such thing in the mind of a fool who wants to be a hero." Wisdom, only reckless blood. Why don't you just ask me to give you a straight bang? You'll be remembered as a hero for what you want, and I'm sorry to find that people's standards for heroes are sometimes a little too low - but even so, You are also obviously not qualified in all aspects, and you can only squeeze in by sending your own life."

"Why?" Sirius ignored his sarcasm, he still looked at him with that kind of strange eyes, in which he was not even annoyed by his ridicule, he just frowned, as if looking at a problem that seriously violated common sense Staring at him the same way, he repeated his question.

"Why did you do that?" he said again, still looking at him like he was looking at a stranger.

Does this person have a little bit of the big picture and the ability to grasp the key points of the problem?Snape let out a heavy breath of exasperation, his expression contorted even more.His nostrils fluttered heavily, but it was as if his throat was strangled by some invisible hand, and he couldn't say anything.

Why do you do this?

Why is Ming Ming persistently pursuing status, fame and glory, breaking with friends, abandoning everything he may have, putting on a hood, and pointing his wand at innocent people, already trapped in this evil and crazy team, knowing that there is no turning back , but choose to turn against him at this moment, and keep his hands on the enemy who has been through his school days to the present?

Why, a person who has chosen his path early, for the sake of a friend who was given up by himself, chooses to give up everything at his fingertips again?Is everything that was once pursued unimportant?If these are not important enough, why did you give up everything to chase them in the first place?If these are still important, why do you decide to give up when you can really touch them?

Why... a soul that has never been a good person in essence, still paradoxically shows a trace of kindness today?

Why are you doing this?Severus Snape?What kind of person are you?A lover who is desperate for love?A villain whose conscience has not yet died out?Or just a doomed, tragic character who can't really hold anything he wants?

He clenched his wand tightly, as if only this action could give him some strength to support himself.His face was pale and ugly as hell, and he was deeply offended by Sirius Black's non-aggressive question.But he couldn't say anything, he couldn't answer Sirius Black, and he couldn't answer himself.In the end, he didn't say a word to this question, turned around abruptly, and strode away, the black robe fluttering behind him, blocking his back that could almost be called hastily fleeing.

"They're in the hall above the dungeon," he said in a hasty, cold voice at last. "Many of your friends have come to rescue you."

The battle was raging in the hall above the dungeon. Since the prophecy of the savior appeared, the key forces of both sides began to revolve around the content of the prophecy, and they naturally restrained themselves in other conflicts. There has been a period of confrontation like this. Time didn't show up.Remus swung his wand swiftly and swiftly fired several spells at the Death Eaters. While he was fighting, his eyes wandered anxiously, looking for Sirius in the crowd.

"Are you sure he's really here?" He took two steps back, fighting back to back with Eli, and couldn't help confirming to him again in a low voice, "A Death Eater who provided us with information—you and Eli Professor Dumbledore believes his words so much?"

"To be honest, I haven't had direct contact with him yet. If you ask me this now, I can't give a very sure answer." Eli said in a low voice, and threw a small handheld bomb at the Death Eaters. , turned his head amidst the explosion, and glanced at him hastily, "But we've all seen it now, Voldemort is indeed not here tonight, where he's going, Albus and the Ministry of Magic are waiting for him... He must have been successfully held back there, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to not show up now, I have seen at least five Death Eaters touching their Dark Mark, I guess they first found this mark and touched it When there is no movement after the end."

That's right, at least the mysterious man is really not here tonight, which at least shows that part of the spy Death Eater's story is credible.Remus was slightly relieved, but he still couldn't completely relax. His eyes turned to the other side of the battlefield, and his brows were deeply frowned.

"Neither of them should come." He frowned and said with deep disapproval on his face, "Once there is a little carelessness..."

"Those are two people, not the two pawns of the Order of the Phoenix, Remus." Eli shook his head and sighed, "I have to say, I don't agree with them coming together...but I think they will. Someone condemned us for us, and he will probably show up soon."

He was right, after the next wave of fierce offensive, even among the small explosions everywhere, they still heard Sirius Black's voice raised suddenly because of worry and anger, which made them turn their heads at the same time , when they saw a Sirius who looked like he was still alive and kicking although he was a bit embarrassed, they all let out a sigh of relief.

"You two?!" Sirius yelled in shock and annoyance, and immediately rushed over, casting a spell on the enemies around them, almost waving an afterimage in the air with his wand, "How can you come here?! Here It's dangerous! You know how dangerous it is to fall here!"

"That's what I thought when I found out you were here a week ago, Padfoot," James declared, raising his wand to help Sirius fend off an Avada Kedavra curse coming at him, Regulus At the same time, he cast a stun spell on the Death Eater who issued the wand, and successfully hit the opponent, "You know it's dangerous and you still come here? If the price is that you die together, Gideon won't thank you for helping him if he knows Corpse collector—oh my god, I was the one who stopped you from taking risks, have you noticed that I have become more and more stable since becoming a father?"

"Not at all." Sirius joined the battle with a wand in one hand, gave him a heavy elbow in his busy schedule, and said dissatisfiedly, "If you are really stable, you shouldn't come out of the safe house - Voldemort I'm looking for you all over the world, trying to catch you and kill you! You just sent it to your door like this? You don't think Voldemort is joking with you, do you?"

"Think about it, buddy," James clarified. "It's Harry, not me, that Voldemort is going to kill."

"So?" Sirius asked, frowning, "You decided to leave the child without a father?"

The three of them stood in a small circle, and James fended off a curse that was flying towards them, turned to look at him, and gave him a smile that was too bright.

He smiled and said, "Hey, Sirius, Lily and I have decided not to let other parents be childless, they shouldn't have to go through that. Since Harry is the chosen one, we should go with him through this." An adventure bestowed on him by fate. As expected of my son, isn’t he? A born expert in adventure, with a talent that cannot be hidden in his bones, just like his father.”

He looks extremely young when he smiles like this - of course, he is actually very young, just 21 years old.The pampered and affluent life brought him a willful, cheerful, and enthusiastic personality. He is always full of energy, and he is full of enthusiasm for anything he is interested in. It is as bright as if life has never had a haze. When he wakes up, he looks very carefree and youthful.There are many adventures and pranks in his mind. Sirius is so familiar with him that he feels that there is no one in the world who understands him better than himself, including Lily—so, seeing him smile like this , When he said such words, he could not help but startled for a moment, and what Snape said just now flashed in his mind unexpectedly.

Snotluck - Snape, obviously a completely different person from James.

But he had guessed James' choice before he did.

This conclusion made him feel very strange for a while, there was an inexplicable heavy thing in his chest, and his own reaction was happening silently.He looked at James and opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say anything. He was tongue-tied for a few seconds, then turned his head and looked at his younger brother.

It was a moment before Regulus realized he was staring at him.He took the time to turn his head, exchanged glances with his brother, and then understood, he didn't give him any more attention, and only waved his wand, calmly said: "The things in this world that are more important than life are really Too much, Sirius, I thought you knew."

"... compared to the power, fame and status that you have been pursuing all along?" Sirius asked suddenly, and after asking, he was also taken aback for a moment.

"In the eyes of those who have always valued these things, they are of course very important." Regulus said calmly, "But there can only be one thing that is most important. Everyone is like this, it’s fair, as for what is the most important thing, you will know when you really face that choice, don’t think too much, just choose.”

"What? Anyone else choose these?" James said in surprise, "You're not talking about yourself, Sirius? If Harry unfortunately has no father but a godfather in the future, you can't teach him that way—but Eli will definitely stop you, I don't think I need to worry too much...but promise me, take Harry on a few more adventures! If he grows up to be a smart, stable and well-behaved person like Eli-although That's very, very nice of course - but I'd be so disappointed! That's my son!"

The purpose of their trip is to rescue Sirius, and the second is to leave some necessary information for Voldemort. So far, it seems that both goals have been achieved.The members of the Order of the Phoenix began to retreat, and Eli stood in the rear. After everyone retreated, they stopped in the shadows outside the manor and stood silently for a while.

He waited so long that he almost thought that the person he was waiting for would eventually choose not to show up.But that person finally slowly walked into the shadows and came to him - half-length black hair, hooked nose, indifferent and cold expression.

They looked at each other and were silent for a while.

"Regret?" Eli asked him. "Choice, betrayal, or something else."

Severus Snape looked at him quietly without speaking.

"But I'm happy," Eli said, smiling faintly. "For whatever reason, whether you're feeling remorseful, determined, calm, or sad at the moment—I'm happy, Severus."

"A solicitation of valuable spies?" Snape asked calmly.

"A welcome to a lost and found friend," Eli said, stepping forward, throwing his arms around him and hugging him.
