This Hogwarts isn't normal.

Although their childhood sweethearts were separated, Snape still treated Lily like a friend.

It's just like today, twenty years later, the beam is knotted.

After all, Draco was from a pure-blood family, and he had a lot of bad guys around him.

Although they are of no use to Vincent, they are not alone like Snape.

James's small group soon expanded to four people, they were the fair and thin Remus Lupine, and the chubby Peter Pettigrew.

When children fight, the one with more people usually wins.

One against four, unless you have learned fighting.

Snape was bullied badly.

Not only did he get beaten every day, but he was also called "snot-nosed" by James based on Severus's pronunciation.

Comparing quality, Vincent once again wins.

Lily is very good and her personality is not as rigid as Hermione's.

She is very popular in Gryffindor, the professors like her, and the classmates are willing to make friends with her.

After learning about Snape, she immediately went to James to reason.

It's a pity that every time I get more torture.

one year,

Two years...

Snape, who was living in hell, finally reached out to what he thought was "hope".

His talent is not only reflected in potions, but also various black magic that can distort his personality.

Lily persuaded him many times, but he always had his own way.

Lucius, a senior, noticed him and admired his talent.

But even if the Slytherin students stopped teasing him, James and Sirius would still bully him whenever they had the chance.

Fortunately, Lupine was always just a bystander.

Peter waved and shouted behind the two of them, causing Snape no less harm than James and Sirius.

Things are getting better, but not completely.

In fifth grade, James came looking for trouble as usual.

He used a spell that could hang people upside down and took off Snape's pants.

Unfortunately, Lily witnessed this scene.

She prevented something more tragic from happening, but failed to prevent the tragedy between her and Snape.

The word "Mudblood" caused a rift in their friendship.

Snape was really mad when his beloved girl was treated humiliatingly.

But he is not innocent.

Because he felt that there was nothing wrong with his friends, Mulciber and Avery, bullying other students.

If you don't have the power, you will be bullied. If you have the power, you can bully others.

A very fair thought,

Unfortunately, this is a wrong idea.

After nearly an hour, the five people came out of the pensieve again.

Their expressions are complicated.

The small group of robbers formed by James and the four of them created Professor Snape who now specifically targets Gryffindor.

The class issue among wizards was once again before them.

If Lily's appearance was not outstanding and she did not show particularly outstanding talents, there was a high probability that she would receive the same treatment as Snape.

If Snape had a better background, he wouldn't have been bullied unscrupulously by James and the others.

From this point of view, Lucius was at least not bad to the core when he was in school.

"Want to watch again?"

"Look - look."

With heavy hearts, the five people buried their heads in the pensieve again.

This time they appeared at the door of Gryffindor dormitory.

The fat lady didn't go out this time.

Because she was watching a show, watching a drama that could be called a climax.

Although Snape and Lily had drifted apart since what happened in fifth grade, they hadn't completely broken up yet.

They are all in seventh grade now, and James and the others have not taken the initiative to find Snape for two years.

It seems like things are getting better, but only in appearance.

"Sev, James and the others have changed a lot. You see, they haven't been the same as before in the past two years."

The bullying is gone, but I still get yelled at occasionally.

Snape was silent for a long time until Lily shared something with him.

She fell in love with James and hoped to get her friend's blessing.

Repairing the relationship is the right thing to do, but the time is wrong.

James has indeed changed a lot, but this cannot be made up for by a simple apology.

In Snape's opinion, he had lost Lily as his "friend" forever.

The complete break between them finally led him to embark on an extreme path.

He agreed to Lucius's invitation.

None of the five depressed people opened their mouths to accuse such behavior.

James may have been wrong, but he was the only member of the Potter family who was not short of money, and he did change a lot for Lily in the end.

Snape may have been wrong, but he just made what he thought was the right choice under desperate circumstances.

Lily may have been wrong, but she did try to get the two of them on the right path. In the end, James changed himself, and Snape was still on the road to death.

But no matter what, joining the Death Eaters was wrong.

This was after graduation, and this was in the Hog's Head pub in Hogsmeade.

Snape left in a panic after hearing the first half of the prophecy.

Because James and Lily are married, both have joined Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix, and they have a child, Harry, who was born on July 31.

Despite his repeated attempts to conceal it, Voldemort still knew who the protagonists of the prophecy were besides Neville.

Snape chose to betray, on the condition that Dumbledore needs to protect Lily.

He is a master of brain occlumency and a good undercover candidate.

He moved between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters, trying to find all possible ways to defeat Voldemort.

But that day came.

The hiding place of the Potters was found.

The Fidelius Charm is an extremely complex spell.

It can hide the secret in the soul of the secret keeper forever. Even if the most powerful wizard is outside and puts his nose to the right secret point, he can't find it.

However, the secret keeper told Voldemort.

Sirius Black, as the secret keeper, betrayed his best friend and James who took him in when he ran away from home.

When Snape tracked him, Voldemort had disappeared, and the Potters died under the killing curse.

This was a cry, a heart-wrenching cry.

The memory ended here, but the five people who returned to reality were still silent.

Lily was the paradise that Snape had briefly reached. Now all he had left was the painful hell called regret.

"How about... we return the rarer herbs?"

"Some of the more expensive potions as well?"

Cedric and Rolf blinked their eyes.

Fred and George were also touched, but they said nothing.

It was tragic, but there was only one chance.

If you miss today, you don't know when you can come in again.

"Put the common ones back." Hermione looked at the empty wooden cabinet, which seemed to be even more shabby.

"If Vincent was here, he would definitely say so."

Sympathy should be there, but it should not be excessive.
