All Heavens: Transfer Students at Hogwarts

Chapter 290 The past is like a knife, a belated apology

The wizards in the dream of the gods roam freely in the illusory Hogwarts.

"It's so strange, are we really in a dream now?" James leaned down on the bank of the Black Lake, dipped his hand into the water, and felt a cold touch, no different from the cool lake water in summer in his memory.

He stood up and looked around. Most of his companions had gone away, some went to the main castle, and some were wandering near the Forbidden Forest. James noticed that as they got farther away, their figures gradually blurred, as if they were sinking into the mist. Hagrid, who was the fastest, had almost completely disappeared.

After everyone dispersed, James noticed that there was fog around him at some point, and the main castle was hidden behind the gray clouds, leaving only a hazy shadow.Fog hung in every direction, and only things within a radius of about sixty feet could be seen clearly.

"Hey! Guys, isn't there anyone waiting for me? The white mist around here is quite scary, to be honest."

James turned and looked around and found that only Snape was still standing. The eccentric Potions Master was never one to show any unnecessary curiosity. His expression was more of impatience, and he didn't respond at all to James' call.

"Hey, Snape." James greeted.

Strangely enough, more than a month had passed since his resurrection, and James hadn't even had a word with Snape. As a resurrected wizard worker, he stayed in the White Tower day and night and had little contact with the outside world, while Snape stayed in the castle during the day and came to make potions at night. He was a solitary person, and they had little interaction with each other.

"...What's the problem, Mr. Harker?"

Huck is James' pseudonym. His full name is Jim Huck. Linder gave it to him, but he doesn't know what the meaning is.

"It's foggy around, don't you think it's a little scary?"

Snape glanced at him, and then explained: "The spatial distance in the dream world not only means distance, but also represents the connection between souls and bodies. In this Hogwarts shaped by common memories, individual Memories are weak and cannot support such a vast space, so there will be fog around."

"Understood, it's like playing back memories in a Pensieve. Things that are too far away will be blurred. But you know a lot." James praised dryly.

"These are all detailed in the Guide. Oh, by the way, you don't have the Guide yet. Maybe you should try harder so you don't have to peek at other people's books."

"I know you are reading about the ritual of resurrecting the dead." James secretly gritted his teeth at Snape's strangeness, but he had something to ask for now, so he could only smile.

Snape's face turned cold, and he turned away immediately. James hurried behind him, clinging to him like a piece of brown sugar.

The surrounding fog moved around the two of them, always maintaining a sixty-foot visibility range.

"Don't get me wrong, Snape, I can help."

"I don't think you are of such great use, young man, you are not yet capable of getting involved in such a great field."

"Maybe I did live a few years less than you, but that doesn't mean that my ability is worse than yours. Snape, we are colleagues anyway, so can't you trust me once?"

They wandered aimlessly along the lake, and suddenly, a tall and straight beech tree emerged from the mist in front of them. When James saw it, his expression became joyful, because it was the most popular beech tree he used to hang out with when he was a student. Where they stopped, they used to sit and chat after class under the shade of a tree that almost represented his school days.

Snape also saw the tree, but instead of James' joy, his expression was hatred and pain.

Memories surged through the duo, and strong emotions emanated from their souls.

The area of ​​the fog expanded slightly, and then suddenly, a group of Hogwarts students emerged from the fog, and they came to the lake for a walk, talking and laughing.

"What's going on?" James and Snape were both shocked. They looked at each other, shocked by this sudden change.

Suddenly, a pale black-haired boy came out of the mist, staring down at a parchment examination paper, his greasy straight hair danced with his staggering steps.

James recognized the boy. He was Severus Snape, a fifth year student.

The old bat beside him trembled, his expression became very scary, and he said to James suddenly: "Let's get out of here."

"Is that person you? Have we entered your memory?"

"I said get out of here!" The old bat seemed to be impatient to leave. He didn't want to see the next memory replay.

James stood there in a daze, and the old bat almost couldn't help pushing him up, but he held back.

The surrounding scenes are still going on, the fifth graders James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupine, and Peter Pettigrew came together under the beech tree by the lake, and they began to have a pleasant and leisurely conversation instead of Beside the bushes in the distance, the young Snape was also sitting on the grass, still looking at the test paper carefully.

"Go!" the old bat roared.

"No, wait." James' eyes were eager. He looked around, searching for Lily in the crowd.

A group of female students came to the lakeside, took off their shoes and socks, and stretched their legs into the lake water to enjoy the coolness. They were so happy that they burst out laughing while chatting. They buried their faces in the shoulders of their female companions and stretched out their hands to scratch each other's shoulders. Armpits, in the exclamation, the pale legs slapped the water like paddles made of white birch.

Among these female students was Lily Evans.

She looked so beautiful, more refreshing than the snow wind blowing through the alpine meadows.

The old bat's face turned into a neon light, flashing red and white, and his teeth rattled.

What happened next was just like in the memory. Young Snape got up and walked across the grass. James and Sirius, who were sitting under the beech tree, called to Snape: "Are you okay, Snotlout?"

Snape shuddered, seeing the foursome's expressions as if they were in danger, and yanked out his wand, but then, James's disarming spell knocked his wand away.

Snape flung himself at his wand, and James immediately said, "[There are obstacles]." The invisible rope tripped him to the ground.

James and Sirius approached Snape, who was lying on the ground, and the students around him slowly came over.

The old bat shouted: "Have you seen enough? Huck, leave now, immediately!"

This memory was the most painful experience for Snape, and he did not want to recall it at all.

The surrounding scenes continued, and the old bat became quiet and trembled all over.

Seeing the old bat's painful look, "Huck" suddenly felt sincerely guilty.

As a witness to the incident, he knew exactly what happened next.

James and Sirius laughed at Snape who fell to the ground, and the surrounding students also burst into laughter, because Snape was not very popular, and most students were happy to see him bullied.

Snape opened his mouth to fight back, but James' spell soon produced a mouthful of foam that nearly choked him.

In such a desperate moment, Lily Evans appeared.

She pushed through the crowd and said to the two bullying Snape, "Let him go!"

The old bat closed his eyes, he didn't want to look any further.For Lily, she's saving her best friend.For Snape, making a fool of himself in front of the girl he loved was better than dying like this.

"Huck" saw how his young self showed off in front of Lily, which made Snape extremely embarrassed and angry.

When he was young, Snape often associated with a few bad guys in Slytherin, and later they all became Death Eaters. Snape didn't care about his friends' actions, even if he himself didn't do anything extraordinary. In the eyes of others, Snape was an accomplice of the bully.

The reason why James was hostile to Snape was not pure. He was not trying to stand up for his classmates who were being bullied by Slytherin, but he wanted to take the opportunity to attract Lily's attention.Young people think that men's society is like a pride of lions, as long as they prove that they are better than others, they can get the love of the opposite sex, but they don't know how terrible the consequences of doing so are.

In the end, James achieved what he wanted. He bullied Snape so hard that he made Snape say "Mudblood" to Lily. Lily, who had great self-esteem, immediately broke up with Snape. After that, James had the opportunity to develop a relationship with Lily, and finally expressed their feelings to each other.

Such behavior was certainly a sign of jealousy among young people, but looking back now, James admitted that he felt guilty. He did not win Lily's love in an honest way, but also caused permanent harm to a young man.

If Snape was really a villain, James could still claim to be righteous, but now he is a professor at Hogwarts, and has won the respect of other professors with his exquisite skills and serious scholarship.

More importantly, they have all grown up and must be responsible for the past, and they cannot escape.

"Snape, let's go." James gave Lily one last lingering look, and then whispered to the old bat, "I'm sorry, sincerely."

"...forget everything you saw."

"I'm going to be absolutely tight-lipped. Also, about that resurrection ceremony you're watching, I can really help."

1. When he was young, James was a pushy person with a strong sense of vanity, which was indeed annoying. However, his personality was still decent, so we cannot conclude that he was a school bully who committed many evil deeds. 2. Young Snape probably did not participate in campus bullying, but he did not care about bullying incidents and was very close to the bullies, so he was classified as a bad student. He is also a very self-respecting person, and he has never confessed his love to Lily. When his beloved girl sees the embarrassing side, he must feel a mixture of love and hate in his heart, which is why he said "Mudblood". This may also be influenced by the environment. Slytherin during that period was deeply influenced by Voldemort, and the discrimination against non-pure-blood wizards was very serious. The influence of those who were close to black and black was definitely there. 3. The above are all my personal speculations based on the original work. If you have different opinions on these two people, I hope you can tolerate my humble opinion.
