HP's Lost and the Lighthouse

The tail of spring was sweeping across the Hogwarts campus, and Snape stood on the astronomy tower, looking down at the Hogwarts campus.The delicate greens of spring are fading from the leaves of the plants, revealing a more vibrant green that has withstood the hot summer sun.

Not long ago, the Dark Lord suddenly informed him that Potter might return to Hogwarts.Snape had no idea what was going on, but he was subtly aware that Dumbledore had made him wait, that the final moment might be coming soon, but at this moment, the man finally realized that Dumbledore It presented him with a problem - in such a hostile position, how was he going to tell Potter the news without making him suspicious?

Leaving aside the fact that once he captured Potter, he would necessarily have to hand him over to the Dark Lord - Potter had seen him kill Dumbledore, so his Death Eater stance must have been in the eyes of the boy. Very stable.In this case, telling Potter that he must be killed by Voldemort himself... Snape said to himself, if he were Potter, he would only feel that the other party was trying to trick him into dying with ill intentions.

Since sending the Gryffindor sword to Potter after Christmas, Snape spent a lot of time thinking about Dumbledore's plan-after all, as the headmaster, he didn't need to waste time asking those empty-headed Instill something useful in the little ones, and this leaves the man with plenty of leisure.For a few months, Snape had some guesses about what Voldemort had done—but he wasn't sure. According to Dumbledore, there was obviously not just one such thing... If so , Voldemort is just too crazy.

No wonder people say that Dumbledore is the only person the Dark Lord fears.In Snape's view, Dumbledore was probably the only one in the entire wizarding world who could accurately guess such a crazy thing from clues.

Speaking of which, there is indeed a simple and easy way to complete Dumbledore's final confession - if he is willing to summon his patron saint in front of Potter... and tell the boy all these years...

Snape flicked his wand lightly, and the silver doe leaped out from the tip of the wand and stopped obediently in front of the man.

Snape lowered his head and looked at this magical creature that was not actually intelligent, and a little smile appeared in his eyes inappropriately.Come to think of it, Dumbledore had foreseen the current situation a long time ago - when he asked the old man not to tell the boy what he had done for Little Potter, the old man changed his way and wanted him to tell all this himself...

He seemed to see Dumbledore's bright eyes with a smug and sly smile again.

The doe lost control of its master, and followed the desperate breath of the dementor out of instinct and left.The rare gentleness on Snape's face also subsided.

He felt a tingle in his arm - which meant that one of the Carroll brothers and sisters who wanted to catch Potter first had spotted Potter's trail.Probably, the time for him to complete the last mission left by the old man is coming soon... Lily, the owner of those green eyes was indeed the only warmth in his youth, and when she died, his patron saint Change, she made him remember his whole life...

But the joy of youth had faded away when she left. When Snape faced the fact that the person he loved had left, how could he find joy in the little things he had been with?

So, long before Snape realized he had changed, his Patronus, who had grown stronger and more powerful every year, had hinted at something more cryptically.

A trace of apology flashed across Snape's heart. In the end, he still had to live up to the promise he made in front of Lily's tombstone, for peace, for justice, and for those who could avoid war because of his choice in the future... For doing something right, and for the man who taught him what was right.

— for the greater good.

He knew where Potter might be now, and the Dark Lord had given him specific instructions - the Ravenclaw lounge.But Snape didn't intend to go there directly to find Potter.

The Carlos—the Death Eaters, desperate to show themselves to the Dark Lord—must have been there when they heard the news, but he didn't think the two Death Eaters had much to gain.You must know that the office of a dean of Hogwarts is on the seventh floor. Once there is too much movement on the eighth floor, he will definitely find out in time—even though the professor of Charms is not tall, his combat power must not be underestimated. watch for.

Snape was going to go to the auditorium to gather all the students in the name of the headmaster, and make a bright target for Potter, otherwise, he always felt that Potter might not be able to find him after tonight—and gathered in The students together are also good for their evacuation after taking over Hogwarts, he just needs to pretend to escape, and then find a chance to meet Potter alone, and tell him about that...it won't raise any suspicions... Meg and the others will help the boy...

He went down a few floors, and suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind him.

"Who's there?" McGonagall's familiar, wary voice came from the corridor.

"it's me."

From behind a suit of armor, stepped out Severus Snape.

From the moment he heard Mag's voice, he realized that his plan might not go smoothly, and he had already held the wand in his hand at this moment, making a fighting posture.

Professor McGonagall was alone in the corridor.Snape looked at her, aware clearly that Potter was probably nearby.He just heard more than one footstep.

"Where are the Carlo brothers?"

"Probably where you told them to go, Severus," said Professor McGonagall.

Snape didn't respond to the answer.Now that Potter and McGonagall are together, the state of the Death Eater brothers and sisters can be imagined.

Therefore, he just glanced around Professor McGonagall with a skeptical expression—a colleague for many years, Professor McGonagall knew his sensitivity well, just as Snape knew the lady's meticulousness, if he didn't do this, he might instead It will also arouse the other party's suspicion.

He said softly, "I have a feeling that Alecto has caught an intruder."

"Really?" said Professor McGonagall, raising his eyebrows. "Where does this feeling come from?"

Snape moved his left arm slightly, where the Dark Mark was branded on the skin.

"Oh, of course," said the witch sarcastically, "I forgot that you Death Eaters have your own secret contact details."

Snape pretended not to hear Professor McGonagall's words, his eyes were still searching the air around her, and at the same time he was getting closer to her little by little.He pretended he was so focused on searching for the invisible man that he didn't even notice that he was walking towards Professor McGonagall.

One step, two steps... He secretly estimated the range of the spell in his heart, and was always ready to deal with the attacks of his former colleagues.

"I remember you weren't supposed to be patrolling the corridors tonight, Minerva."

"do you have any opinion?"

"I'm just wondering, it's so late, what made you get out of bed?"

"I seem to hear movement," said Professor McGonagall.

One, two—here we go.He stopped.

"Really? It seems pretty quiet everywhere."

Snape looked directly into her eyes.

"Have you seen Harry Potter, Minerva? If you have, I must emphasize—"

At this moment, Professor McGonagall made a quick move.Her wand swishes through the air, catching almost everyone off guard.Fortunately, Snape had already been vigilant.His Iron Armor Charm knocked Meg off balance.

Snape didn't really have the idea of ​​fighting with his former colleagues - to him, they were friends, seniors, family members... But being driven away so simply would inevitably arouse suspicion.He had to do a few tricks with the hostile dean of Gryffindor in front of him - the battle of wizards is very dangerous, because it is difficult to grasp the speed, and no one knows what will appear after several spells are superimposed. What a weird effect.

Snape controlled spells that used only polymorphs.As Professor McGonagall's old profession, she could never be better than Snape in this regard, even if one of them was old and the other was in his prime.

Snape stepped back invincibly.

"Minerva!" A high-pitched voice pierced the corridor.Snape cast a distracted glance between the fights.I saw Flitwick and Professor Sprout rushing from the corridor in their pajamas, followed by the bloated Professor Slughorn panting.

"Stop!" Flitwick screamed, holding up his wand, "You're not allowed to kill any more people at Hogwarts!"

Flitwick's spell hit the armor that Snape was using as a shield in front of him, and with a crash, the armor came alive.Snape desperately broke free from the iron arm that was squeezing him tightly, and threw the armor at his attacker.

He breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, it is not suspicious to take the initiative to escape.Without hesitation, he turned around and started to run in big strides, hearing McGonagall, Flitwick, and Sprout all chasing after him.

Snape quickly ran into a classroom, covered his bare skin with his robe, smashed the glass and rushed out.In the distance, McGonagall shouted angrily from the window with a big hole in the shape of Snape.

"Cowards! Cowards!"

The author has something to say:

Yes, that’s right, I just want to say that although Lily has changed the form of the professor’s Patronus, the happiness of becoming a Patronus comes from Dumbledore’s acceptance of him into Hogwarts. After all, he remembered the time when he was with Lily. It’s about to fall, and I’m about to think that the lily mushroom coolness is completely cold, how can this make people happy hahahaha

The headmaster's professor has such a good face, he doesn't accept rebuttals, and the rebuttals are all about refusing to listen to Voldemort's chanting!

By the way, I didn't think so before, but looking at it now, the professor and Professor McGonagall are fighting. Is this tm a joke?This is obviously a flood discharge, okay hahahahahahahaha x

Also, in the movie, the professor was beaten [x] and ran away after gathering all the students, but here is still referring to the original text, although I also love the enchanting figure of the professor when he passes through the students [? ], anyway, let’s just think the movie is a parallel world where the professor didn’t run into Professor McGonagall in the corridor lol lol
