[Comprehensive HP colleagues] That year

Sirius got his friend, and Severus got his, just three months after Sirius met Andy.

It was a rare sunny day in May, and Severus, as usual, hid behind the bushes and watched the two sisters on the swing.

He has been doing this for over a year.Ever since he first discovered that the girl named Lily in front of him was a witch, he felt possessed.She's a witch, so he wants to befriend her.But just because she was a witch, he didn't know how to get acquainted with her.The clothes on her body were so clean, and her face was so rosy, which formed a sharp contrast with the maternity clothes on her body and her withered and yellow complexion.

Muggles looked down on him, and he didn't care, because he knew they weren't worth his friendship, but he couldn't have a witch look down on him too.He knew that his only advantage was that the girl didn't know she was a witch, so he wasn't completely out of chance.He waited silently, waiting for the day when the girl was in danger, and he turned out to save her from danger, and then proudly told her that the spell he used to save her just now was magic, and told her that he could teach magic to her. give her……

The ideal is full, and the reality is the backbone.After enduring it for a year, Severus didn't wait for that kind of heroic chance to save the beauty.What's worse, because of a word from the girl's sister, the Muggle named Petunia, he couldn't hold back for a moment and exposed himself!

But now that the matter had already happened, he could only bite the bullet and explain to Lily: "You are...you are a witch."

Lily's face immediately changed when she heard the words, she thought of the cartoon "Snow White" she watched two days ago.How can he say that?How does she look like that evil old woman with pimples all over her face?

"It's very rude to say that to someone!" she said sullenly.

"No! You are, you are a witch. I have been watching you for a while. There is nothing wrong with that. My mother is a witch, and I am a wizard." He explained anxiously.

Lily hesitated, but her sister didn't give Severus a chance: "Wizard? Ha, I know who you are. You're the boy from the Snape family! They live in Spider's End by the river. Say, why are you spying on us?"

"I didn't peek, so I don't want to peek at you, you're a Muggle." Severus felt that this Muggle was really annoying, and his annoying level was almost as much as that of Roseanne Mac.

Even though she didn't know what a "Muggle" was, Severus' contemptuous tone still angered Petunia, she pulled Lily and left, leaving Severus standing there, watching them go Far……

Severus knew he had screwed up, and he doubted Lily would ever come again.He comforted himself in his heart: Forget it, although she is a witch, she is a witch whose parents are both Muggles, and her bloodline is not as good as his own.But the next day, his feet still involuntarily took him to the small park, and he still couldn't help but want to try his luck.

Then he was pleasantly surprised to find that Lily was sitting on the swing frame alone, swaying slightly without energy.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lily looked up and saw him, and her dim eyes suddenly became brighter.

"Are you really here? You said you've been watching me for a while, I think you might come today, but yesterday, uh, our conversation wasn't very pleasant, so I'm still worried that you won't come today." Lily I'm a little embarrassed, but I'll say it straight to the point.

Great, she's not mad at me!That was the first reaction in Severus' mind.He was trying desperately to figure out how to answer Lily's words in a friendly and dignified way, but his silence made Lily think he was still angry with Petunia.She said anxiously: "Penny, I mean my sister, that girl who was with me yesterday, she didn't mean to make things difficult for you, she just, just doesn't know how to get along with strangers..."

"It doesn't matter," Severus interrupted Lily decisively this time, "she's just a Muggle, so of course I won't argue with her. I don't care what she thinks or says, I only care about you, believe me What?" After speaking, he looked at her with piercing eyes.

Seeing the boy's tone was very gentle, Lily breathed a sigh of relief, and then said distressedly: "Um... I don't know how to say it, I do have some things that are different from ordinary people, and I really want to know why. , Those, such as swinging on a swing so high that you won’t fall, and making petals move, I know those, really because I’m a witch? But aren’t all witches evil? My parents are very Worried about my abilities."

Severus chuckled: "Who said witches are evil, you have magical powers, this is Merlin's gift. Do you... want to know more about the wizarding world?"

In this way, Severus and Lily talked about the wizarding world, the lively Diagon Alley, the magical Gringotts, the ancient Hogwarts, and the mysterious Azkaban.He said that Lily asked questions from time to time, and they chatted all afternoon.When separated, they became friends.

Lily Evans, became the first friend in Severus' life.

*****************

Let's go back to Sirius.

Regulus and Shaklin knew about Sirius's risky behavior of always sneaking out to play. Although they didn't want to fool around with Sirius, luckily they didn't expose Sirius in front of the adults, so Sirius just did it like this. I hid it from my parents for half a year.

Sirius was actually very worried about being discovered by adults, not because he was worried about being punished, but because he was worried that he would never come out again.He likes the warm sunshine outside, the free air, and the wanton laughter. After seeing the colorful world outside, he never wants to be locked in that home that sees no sunshine all year round.

On this day, while his parents were not at home, he put on the Muggle clothes that Andy had given him, took the broomstick at home, and went out to play with Andy.His shooting skills have improved a lot now, and with Andy's encouragement, he began to practice shooting in flight while riding a broom.He believes that this practice is actually very similar to Quidditch.

But when he got to the small basketball court, there was no one there.He found a piece of paper under the stone on the seat, which was left by Andy. It turned out that Andy was going to participate in the youth basketball tryouts in other places, and he would not come these days.

Disappointed, Sirius wandered around on his broom, and found himself lost in a large wood.After finally flying out of the woods, he found himself in a dirty alley that he didn't recognize at all.He jumped off the broom and wanted to find someone to ask where it was, only to hear a boy's voice suddenly coming from behind: "You, who are you?"

Sirius turned his head and looked curiously at the boy who stopped him.Ahem, this boy is really in a mess, his face is sallow, his clothes are worn out, and his hair is greasy, as if he hasn't washed his hair for a month.But after getting along with Andy, he no longer rejects Muggles, and he also remembers the story of the adapted version of "Jumping Pot".He grinned at the boy and held out his hand: "Hi, my name is Sirius, nice to meet you. What's your name?"

Shaking hands is the Muggle etiquette Andy taught him.

The boy didn't shake his hand as he expected, but replied after a moment of hesitation, "Severus Snape."

"Hi Snape, uh, do you live near here, I'm lost, do you know how to get to Langrimaud Square?"

Severus shook his head, then said, "Why are you carrying a broom? It's not like a normal broom."

Sirius remembered that Shaklin had warned him after he met Andy that according to the law of secrecy, Muggles were not allowed to know the existence of wizards casually.So he said, "Oh, I have a bad leg, I actually use it as my crutch."

When Severus heard this, his eyes immediately changed from anticipation to contempt: "What a reckless waste, there should be better uses for the broom." After speaking, he turned his head and left.

This sentence choked Sirius enough, Sirius said in his heart, I was afraid that letting you know that brooms can fly would scare you!Besides, is it more advanced to sweep the street than to use it as a crutch?But he was in a hurry to go home now, so he didn't have time to get angry with that person.After the man turned a corner and disappeared, Sirius got on the broom.But at this moment, he saw his cousin Xia Kelin flying towards him.

"Shaklin! How did you find this place?" Sirius said incredulously.

"I have trackers in your pockets. You fool, to have flown so far. Did you know that Aunt Walburga came back early from the Lestranges today and found You're not here."

Sirius' face turned pale immediately: "You, you didn't talk nonsense to my mother, did you?" As he said that, he quickly put the wizard robe in his hand on his body, it would be terrible if his mother saw him wearing Muggle clothes.

"Of course not, Rael and I didn't tell her that you came to the Muggle world, you owe us a favor."

Severus, who hadn't gone far, heard the words "fly" and "Muggle" at the tip of his ears. He was very excited, and it turned out that his guess just now was actually right!He immediately walked back quickly and shouted at Xia Kelin: "What did you say about Muggles?"

"Siris, this is?" Shaklin looked at Sirius suspiciously.

"Oh, his name is Severus Snape. I asked him for directions just now, but he didn't know." Sirius was still dissatisfied with Snape's cold reception to him just now.

"Severus Snape? This name is so familiar, can you tell me what is your mother's name?" Shaklin asked.

If it was an ordinary person, of course Severus would not casually tell the name of his mother, but the girl in front of him is also a wizard in [-] out of [-]!She asked his mother's name, maybe she really knew his mother!

"My mother's name is Irene Snape, and you..."

Before Severus finished speaking, he was interrupted by a woman's voice: "Are you Irene Prince's son?"

As soon as he spoke, Sirius froze. He turned his head embarrassingly, and called out in a low voice: "Mother".

And Severus exclaimed: "How do you know my mother's maiden name is Prince?"

Walburga gave Sirius a hard look, then turned his head to talk to Severus, his tone was full of sarcasm: "Oh, of course I know, how could I not know the famous Irene Snape? She really gave Slytherin a big 'face' back then! Bah, I don't even know how she cheated the Sorting Hat. As a Slytherin, she married a dirty and despicable Muggle This kind of scandal can only be done by a scumbag from a small family like her!"

"You can't say that about my parents!" Severus blushed angrily.

"No? What right do you have to say no? You are just a half-breed, with the blood of your dirty Muggle father running through your body. What right do you have to yell at the noble Mrs. Black here? Sirius Shaklin, hurry up Come back with me, I don't want to stay in this stinky place full of muggles for a second." He said and apparated the two children.

Severus stared at the place where the three of them disappeared, eyes full of hatred.

**************

When Sirius returned, he was scolded by Walburg and locked in his bedroom for a whole month.Walburga said: "I thought you were honest now, but I didn't expect you to dare to go to the place of Muggles! You want to enter the reflection room again, don't you?"

Sirius wanted to say a few words for that Snape. Although he didn't like that boy very much, it was too much for his mother to scold his parents.But when he heard about the reflection room, he froze immediately.

When Sirius came out of confinement, he had already missed his tenth birthday.

As soon as he came out, he found that Xia Kelin was in a particularly bad mood, and according to Regulus, since he was imprisoned, Xia Kelin hadn't smiled a day.Sirius originally thought that Xia Kelin was worried about him, and was quite touched, but Xia Kelin was still in a bad mood after he had been released for a week, which was a bit strange.

Under his repeated questioning, Xia Kelin finally told the truth: she was worried about that Snape.

Xia Kelin said: "That child is too pitiful. He lost the love of his parents at a young age. How could Aunt Walburga say that about him? It's too inappropriate."

This was the first time that Xia Kelin complained about her mother's behavior. Sirius felt that it was extremely subtle. You must know that although Xia Kelin didn't say what her mother said like Leel, she still respected her mother very much and never complained behind her back.

"Why do you care so much about that Snape? You have only met him once, and you have been sad for more than a month. Besides, how do you know that he lost the love of his parents since he was a child?"

"I, I just think, if there are parents who love you, how can you dress so shabby?"

"The reason for the shabby clothes is that the family is poor, but his hair looks like it hasn't been washed for more than a month. If his parents love him, they shouldn't let his hair be greasy like that."

"Sirius, do you have any sympathy, and you only care about other people's hair?!" Shaklin was furious.

Sirius thought that he still owed Xia Kelin, so he decided to follow Xia Kelin's tone: "Oh, oh, I do sympathize with him, I sympathize with him very much, and I also think that my mother has gone too far this time. But things have already happened, we have no other choice, since my mother said he is a mixed race, I think he will go to Hogwarts to study in the future, and I will definitely apologize to him on behalf of my mother."

"Sorry? Are you serious?" Shaklin looked at Sirius in disbelief.

"Of course it's true, isn't it normal? Are you so surprised?"

Xia Kelin looked at Sirius seriously for a long time, she almost blushed when she saw Sirius, and finally smiled at him: "I'm relieved if you think so."

=============================

The plot of "Narrow Road to Enemy" is adapted from Chapter 6 "Severus Snape" of "Black Honor".

The author has something to say: In "Black Honor", Walburga and Irene were good friends in school days. After seeing Irene in Spider's End Alley, Walburga persuaded Irene to return to the magic world.She also said to Erin: "I still can't understand the reason why you like a Muggle. My position is still the same as before. But I will not say anything about your decision. I and love Lianna promised you that she will respect your decision. So I will never use that Muggle blood as an issue..."

To be honest, this kind of Walburga is quite understanding, but not the crazy and paranoid Walburga in [my] impression of the original book.In my imagination, if Walburga in the original book met a former Slytherin classmate who married a Muggle, her state of mind should be more contempt than sympathy, so there is this chapter.
