[HP] The Curse of Harry Potter and Slytherin

"The future of the wizarding world needs to be safeguarded by everyone." - Interim Minister of Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt.

"The meaning of Auror's existence is to protect the people and fight against all dark and evil forces. In the face of possible wars, no Auror will back down." - Spokesman of the Auror Branch of the Ministry of Magic.

"Whether people believe it or not, I personally think there is nothing wrong with being more vigilant and prepared."

"If the person who can't even say his name does come back, it will never be a good thing for us."

"Why are we afraid of him? The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. If we lose the courage to resist because of fear, that is the most worthy of fear!"

"The new interim minister of the Ministry of Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt, has shown a firm determination to protect the people and a vigorous work attitude as soon as he took office.

In his speech a few days ago, the Minister once again strongly appealed to the people of the wizarding world to remain vigilant, 'The Ministry of Magic is publishing a guide to family and personal initial defense, which will be distributed free of charge to all wizarding families within the next month. '"

"In fact, Albus Dumbledore, who has restored the positions of headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Wizardry, member of the International Federation of Wizards, and chief wizard of the Wizengamot, has always insisted in the past year that the You-Know-Who is not Instead of being dead, as everyone had hoped and believed, he had made a comeback and had gathered a following. Also insisting on this was the Boy Who Lived, Harry Potter— —”

"You're mentioned here, Harry," said Hermione, looking at Harry from above the newspaper. "You don't mind?"

They were on the train home from Hogwarts.Harry was biting into half a chocolate frog, Ron was tearing open a bag of Bibi's multi-flavored beans, and the noon sun shone in through the car window, making the table slightly hot.

Feeling drowsy, Harry opened his eyes when Hermione called him, sat up straight, and stretched.

"It's okay, Hermione," Harry shrugged. "I knew Rita Skeeter wouldn't miss me, as long as she doesn't make things up, it's fine, really."

"Oh..." Hermione hesitated to speak, "Actually she—"

"What?" Harry reached for the newspaper.

"Harry Potter has always been a controversial topic, and he has attracted the attention of countless people since he appeared in the wizarding world. Many people still remember his remarks on "The Quibbler" last year. How many people Think he is crazy? However, the current situation proves his words, he is a well-deserved young hero! The hero's emotional world is always a concern, but what makes countless admirers cry secretly is that our young hero seems to be in I've fallen in love recently..."

Harry's heart skipped a beat, and he looked down hurriedly.

Fortunately, Rita still had some sense of propriety, and did not mention any words about Snape from the beginning to the end.

He was still two years away from graduating from Hogwarts, and Harry didn't want Snape to have the reputation of being a "student seducer".The world has misunderstood him enough.

"Harry, would you like some of this?" Ron suddenly remembered something, took out a paper bag from the suitcase, and put it on the table, "I can't finish it."

"This is..." Harry watched as Ron opened the paper bag, revealing a large pile of ugly biscuits, "Hagrid's rock cakes?"

"Hagrid borrowed books from me, and brought me some for us to eat on the way."

"Hagrid... borrowed books from you...?" Harry had some difficulty understanding this sentence.

It must be the wrong way for him to open it today, Hagrid, Ron, and... the book?

"Didn't Hagrid just come back, why is he so anxious to read? Why did he borrow a book from you? What book did he borrow?"

It's not like doing something again... right?

"Of course I'm the only one who can guide him," Ron said proudly. "It's the ones I showed you at Christmas - he wants to find a girlfriend for Glop."

Harry: "..."

Hermione: "..."

"...the dining truck is coming soon," Harry finally decided not to comment on the matter. "Is there anything else you want to eat?"

The train was approaching King's Cross Station, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione packed their bags and prepared to get off.

"Remember to write to me," Ron turned to Harry once again, "Fred and George made a lot of money in the joke shop. This summer vacation, I will take the whole family to Romania and visit Charlie by the way. Let Hedwig Don't send it to the wrong place."

"I'll remember." Harry nodded.

"If Muggles bully you again, write to me."

"Don't worry," Harry smiled, "They don't dare to bully me now."

At most, it is ignoring and cold treatment, he has long been used to it.

"Ron, Ginny!"

When the train stopped, Mrs. Weasley spotted them among the crowd disembarking at a glance.

She rushed forward and hugged her baby tightly. "Oh, and my dear Harry—how are you?"

"I'm fine, Mrs. Weasley." Harry hugged her back, feeling warm in his heart.

Mrs. Weasley stroked his hair lovingly before letting go of Harry and turning to greet Hermione.

"Harry."

A strange middle-aged man with beards waved to him, accompanied by an elderly, dirty house-elf.

this is not……

"Kreacher!"

"Master Harry Potter." Kreacher stepped forward and bowed.

"You...Sirius!" Harry widened his eyes in surprise, and lowered his voice involuntarily, "I didn't even recognize you dressed up like this!"

Mrs. Weasley glanced here nonchalantly, and Ron and Hermione also came over.

"It's just that if you can't recognize it, others can't recognize it." Sirius smiled.

Sirius seems to have undergone some kind of change. He used to be unrestrained and depressed, which made him always have a melancholy temperament, but now the melancholy has become calm, with a firm light shining in his eyes.

"I'm going out for a while, I don't know when I'll be back."

"Where are you going?"

"There are things that should have been done long ago," Sirius' fingers gripped a locket in his pocket. "Regulus is my brother, and he can't be left alone anywhere else. I'm going to Take him... home."

Sirius didn't leave for a long time just to say goodbye to Harry, and left in a hurry after seeing Harry; Ron waved to Harry for the last time and got into Mr. Weasley's car; Hermione also went home with her parents.Everyone who was supposed to leave had left, and Harry dragged his suitcase and walked slowly outside the station.

There was no one in the empty station, but the Dursleys hadn't come to pick him up yet, and Harry knew they wished they could come as late as possible.Harry had nothing to lose, he was used to it anyway.

A black figure appeared in front of him, Harry was stunned for a moment, and instantly became happy.

"Sev? Are you here to see me off?"

"No."

Snape remained expressionless, but took Harry's suitcase in his hands very naturally.

"What if you say something nice..." Harry pouted, but couldn't help laughing, he couldn't even pretend to be angry.

"Really not." Snape said again.

"You..." Harry was a little annoyed, "I'm really going to be angry!"

"...I'll go back with you."

Seeing that Harry was really angry, Snape said the last half of the sentence slowly.

"What... what?" The surprise was so great that Harry almost suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"You need to go back to the Dursleys' house for two weeks, and I will accompany you. You can live anywhere you want after that," Snape tried to maintain a cold expression, but his ears turned red quietly, "Maybe you would like to visit the Dursleys during the summer vacation." For a moment...cough, I'm at the residence in Spider's End Lane."

Harry stood still in a daze, his mouth opened wide, and his emerald eyes were full of joy and disbelief.

"I...I thought...you said you wouldn't write to me..."

Living together for the whole holiday and needing to write any letters, the little troll still can't turn his head.Tsk, stupid.

"Sev, I love you so much."

Harry saw that there was no one around, and quietly reached out to hook Snape's little finger and shook it. There was a sweet smile on his face, and the love in his green eyes was full of love.

Snape felt his heartbeat stop and his breathing was momentarily disturbed.

Although the little giant's brain can't turn, his ignition skills are becoming more and more proficient.

"Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon probably won't be very happy to see you."

"I'd love to meet them."

"Ha, Sev, you're so mean."

……

Another war could start at any moment, but... at least not today.

Harry looked at Snape beside him and smiled foolishly.

Snape snorted contemptuously, but tightened his grip on Harry's hand.

In this way, they walked out of the station hand in hand, towards the sunny street, towards a hopeful future.
