[HP] Magic didn't give up on you

When Remus reappeared in the school, his face was paler than every time before. He could be said to appear in front of everyone in a dazed state, looking shaky.

What a poor man.The Gryffindor students usually care about him to some extent, but this time they can't take care of him - Gryffindor just got [-] points deducted because his friend Sirius Black put Slytherin Snape tricked him into the Forbidden Forest and almost caused his classmates to be irreparably hurt.

To be honest, this is not the first time Sirius has been deducted points; in fact, he and James Potter have been deducted points and placed in confinement since the first grade.But in the past, they still scored more points, their pranks were popular, and some innocuous little fights were irrelevant, and even in a way, it was "cool".

And Snape is not a likable person, he is gloomy and withdrawn, looks down on students from Muggle families, and is more annoying than other Slytherins. In the past, many students did not mind seeing them Playing tricks on Snape, thought it was amusing.

But all of this is based on the fact that this kind of teasing is just a small fight between students and will not have more important effects.When you find out that a classmate almost died because of another classmate's teasing, the fear of life-threatening will override everything else. The hearts of bad jokes are sympathetic.

Unsurprisingly, this foursome, who were once very popular in Gryffindor, began to be kept at a distance by everyone to a certain extent, with Sirius Black as the main one, and the other three together.Sirius acted indifferent to this, James didn't have time to care about this matter, Peter Pedilou acted terrified, as if the end was coming... and Remus Lupine, who was equally innocent, was The victim who played an important role in this incident found Eli alone and thanked him solemnly.

"I'm sorry about Sirius." Lupine whispered, they were still standing by the window where they had talked, the season came to winter, the window was covered with snow, and the surface of the Black Lake was like a mirror. It perfectly reflected everything in Hogwarts, "Thank you for helping to deal with the aftermath. Nothing more serious happened... If they really started a duel and I was disturbed and ran out, it would have been a disaster."

"Hagrid and the professors will find out, don't worry about it." Eli shook his head, "I only found out this time that Hagrid and at least one professor will be on guard at the edge of the Forbidden Forest every night of the full moon. Once something happens, I will rush to deal with it immediately. Tonight is Professor McGonagall, and sometimes Professor Flitwick. I heard that Principal Dumbledore has personally guarded you... Even if I don’t show up, they will argue for a while , it's time for the professor to come over too, there won't be any great danger. But you see, so many people are working hard for your normal admission, and Sirius has wrongly betrayed your trust, causing this to you and others. I don't think he was unjustly deducted [-] points."

Lupine lowered his eyes slightly, and didn't respond directly to his words, but just nodded silently, indicating that he didn't want to avenge Sirius.He gave a faint wry smile, and said calmly: "Yes, so now I am alienated by everyone, I think it is also... It is completely normal, as it should be, maybe from the beginning, everyone should stay away from me, so that you safer."

"Don't say that." Eli shrugged and said indifferently, "I don't know if you noticed, there are only two boys' dormitories in Gryffindor this year, and more than half of the boys have been isolated—we are not even Minority groups, if this continues, it may be difficult to tell which side is alienating which side."

Lupine couldn't help laughing because of his words, and the gloom in his expression somewhat dissipated.He hesitated, and asked a little hesitantly: "James said he was a little slow in grabbing Snape's arm, Snape might..."

"He won't say it." Eli shrugged, his calm look made Lu Pingan much more relieved, "I told him, you can't know Sirius' plan, you're just going through the changes quietly. Unlucky man of his life. Severus is not unreasonable... well, sometimes he might be, but I said Sirius's badness is unique even among you, and he was saying that Potter can also After the comparison, I reluctantly agreed that this does not include your point of view. And I heard from him that Headmaster Dumbledore also talked to him, you are not wrong in this matter, and no one should point the finger at you because of this."

Lupine exhaled deeply, with a hint of gratitude on his brow.

"I don't know how to thank you, Eli." He said sincerely, showing a wry smile, "I know I'm a terrible trouble, and I have caused you a lot of trouble..."

"It's just a little furry problem, isn't it?" Eli shook his head, his eyes darkened, "The werewolf's claws and teeth are sharpening, and each attack can only hurt one person. And some evil wizards It's different, the killing and fear he created can permeate the crowd, and with his own power, the entire magic world is in turmoil, and the wizard who picks up the wand will always be the more terrifying party."

Lupine froze for a moment, somewhat taken aback by his theory.After a short thought, he did seem to be comforted a bit.

"Indeed, the most harmful thing is always malice itself." He murmured, "In this world..."

He didn't continue talking, and neither did Eli.The two of them were silent for a while, and finally Eli took the initiative to break the quiet atmosphere.

"Don't worry too much, it won't last long," he said to Lupine. "Your group is easy to like after all—maybe after Sirius adds a few more points to the house." Okay, or maybe it will be faster, after all, although one of your friends did something wrong, another friend objectively saved more than one person that night."

Eli was right, this matter did turn around soon - James was going around the door of Professor McGonagall's office every day, pestering Professor McGonagall, and wanted to go into confinement with Sirius.

"I was there that day!" he emphasized. "I was at fault too! Don't punish Sirius alone! Can I put him in detention together and cut his time in half? He's almost going to be locked up until the end of the semester." -"

"That's the punishment he deserves, don't make trouble, Potter." Professor McGonagall warned him with a stern face, but if James was persuaded to leave so easily, it wouldn't be James.He continued to harass Professor McGonagall relentlessly, until Professor McGonagall was so harassed that he added five points with a backhand.

"Because you saved the life of a classmate that night." She said with a straight face, and James looked at her with his mouth open, his face struck by lightning.

It's really hard to keep a secret when it happens in school.The news spread quickly, and the treatment of the four of them in the academy was visibly improved again.But in the group of four, perhaps only Peter was sincerely happy, while Lupine was still a little heavy and melancholy. Not being punished did not let him relieve himself of the self-blame in his heart, and he was always under pressure.

As for Sirius and James, it was hard to say whether they were more annoyed by the news or Snape - Snape was on the verge of madness when he heard the news.

"He saved me? He saved me?!" Snape's expression was almost distorted, his breathing fluctuated, and looking at Lily in front of him, his expression was painful.

"He's a hero, and his friends are all likable, but I'm a nuisance, and the friends around me make you uncomfortable, isn't that true?" He said hurriedly, with the school robe fluttering behind him, cold The wind passed through his thin body, freezing to the bone, "He looks like a hero to you, doesn't he? But he's only saving his own people! You can't—"

"We're not talking about Potter's friends, Sev!" Lily said angrily, her voice rising involuntarily, "and I'm not looking down on all your friends! I know how good Eli is—Ray Gulles seems to have brains too! But you can't - on purpose - be so extreme every time I mention this! You insist that Avery and Mulciber's injury to Mary was a joke! You Can't you see that's black magic, Sev? Mary's my friend too!"

"Their way of pranking is just a little too aggressive..."

"A prank?!" Lily looked at him incredulously, and she became furious. "Whose friend's prank kills? You can't always make excuses for them like this, Sev!"

"Isn't there a lot?" Snape said sarcastically, looking at Lily's tightly frowning brows, he said impulsively, "James Potter's friends will too! You're in the same college, aren't you? You can see that! Or do you also think he's handsome, popular, a great Quidditch hero, and to be liked by him is—"

"Hey, Evans!" A voice came over suddenly, the two of them stopped arguing at the same time, and turned their heads to look over.

James Potter and their friends were standing not far away, and everyone had just finished class.Sirius looked at Snape coldly, but said nothing.Lupine opened his mouth and looked at Snape, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't get it out.

James ran towards them, casting an unhappy glance at Snape, obviously displeased at his presence, but soon his attention was on Lily.

"I've been a little bit busy lately—I've been busy with other things, and I didn't notice it for a while." He said, deliberately fiddling with his hair to make it more messy, which he obviously thought made himself very comfortable. Charm, "Look, Evans, it's only a week until Professor Slughorn's Yule Ball—would you like to come with me, Evans? You didn't answer me last time."

Snape was caught off guard by what James said, and it was far more powerful to hear than to be told.He stood on the side in a daze, forgot to breathe for a moment... Then, the impulse and courage came from nowhere, and hit him at this moment.

"She won't," Snape said suddenly, his voice and expression stiff, but he managed to say it anyway, "She won't, she—she'll come with me."

James and Lily looked at him together, their eyes narrowed.

"You have a say here, snot-nosed?" he asked with a bit of contempt.

"I think I can give the answer myself," said Lily, also unhappy.When Snape met her eyes, the inexplicable courage seemed to fade away; he turned his face silently, frustrated and frustrated almost knocking him down.

"It's none of your business here, Potter." Lily turned to the other person at the scene with a straight face, "I told you that in the medical room, and I refused—can you remember to put your ears on next time?" Up, Potter?"

James has always had a very persevering spirit, and he didn't feel angry when he was rejected so bluntly, and he was still fighting for it.It wasn't until Lily, who was already in a bad mood, got angry and asked him to leave angrily, that he raised his hands to show that he didn't have any malicious intentions, and walked away step by step.

"Be sure to consider me next time you have a chance!" He waved vigorously at Lily, his smile was still too bright, as if there had never been any haze in his young life.

Even though Lily was angry, because of this smile, she still subconsciously looked at him for a few more seconds, feeling a little surprised at his persevering and never angry clarity.When she looked back, she saw Snape was staring at him closely, his expression a mixture of disbelief and caution.

"I'm sorry..." he said nervously, watching her expression carefully, and asked in a low voice, "but you just rejected Potter..."

"Why, do I have to promise him?" Lily asked with a straight face, and Snape shook his head immediately.

"I didn't mean that!" He said quickly, paused, and lowered his voice, "I just... If you... don't have a dance partner yet, would you like to come with me...?"

Lily frowned and stared at him for a while.

"Don't make decisions for me next time!" she said sternly, "Of course I know that James Potter is an egomaniac, and I don't need you to keep nagging me to remind--and, before you tell others that I will Please remember to invite me before going to the dance with you."

She stretched out her hand and stopped in front of Snape.Snape was stunned, and after a while, he suddenly realized, stared at her closely, couldn't believe it, but couldn't wait, and carefully held her hand.

If it's a good dream, let it stop here and never wake up.Snape lowered his eyes, looked at the hands held together by the two, the snowflakes settled gently on it and melted silently, he silently made a wish in his heart, he had never been so devout.
