— Yeats, "After a Long Silence"

The night wind swept across Sirius Black's body with the bleak temperature of late autumn, and evenly stuck a fallen leaf on a scar on his right cheek. Sirius gently raised his hand to shake off the leaves, trying not to make a sound - now he is hiding behind a huge stone wall, and not far in front of the stone wall, there are two old acquaintances standing.

That's right, old acquaintance. Sirius raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then quickly squeezed it back together - as if he had known them for as long as he had lived: Severus Snape and Peter Pettigrew.At this moment, the two of them were standing under a tree about ten meters away from them, talking furtively. Peter Pettigrew showed a servile look in front of Snape, looking humble and pitiful, almost like the servant of the black robed magician. Voldemort had sent such a fool to wait on Snape. Sirius gripped his wand tightly. One-on-two wasn't an option for the wise, but for a Gryffindor, hatred and contempt were enough.

This was the first time he had walked out of 12 Grimmauld Place in three months. Sirius stuck the tip of his tongue out of his mouth, feeling the fresh air he hadn't seen for a long time. He was really choking.Although he knew that he was not allowed to leave the old house, if he could capture these two people back, no one would blame him, and maybe he would have the opportunity to participate in the operation in the future.

"click". Sirius heard the sound of dead branches snapping beneath his feet.

"Who!" Snape yelled through the air, a voice so familiar to Sirius, even in such an urgent moment, with his usual flat tone.

"Expelliarmus!" At this point, Sirius also jumped out from behind the stone wall without showing any sign of weakness, the light flashed by, and Peter Pettigrew, who hadn't reacted yet, let out a scream, and his wand flew in response to the sound, falling into the boundless darkness.

It's one-on-one now, Sirius thought.

"Who! Take the cloak off!" screamed Peter Pettigrew.The cloak and hood cast Sirius's face in shadow, making it impossible for the other party to see his own face. Sirius had a sneer at the corner of his mouth. He had seen Peter Pettigrew's terrified expression too many times, and at this moment he felt nothing but disgust. , he cast a contemptuous glance at his former partner before turning his gaze to Snape.

The black-haired wizard's wand was already aimed at him, and his deep black eyes seemed to be bottomless, but he felt that Snape's eyes and expression changed little by little, and finally formed a complex expression: surprised, worried, and even worried. There is a trace of fear.

He knows. Sirius's wand palm began to moisten.He knows who I am now.Although neither of them said a word, Sirius was quite sure from the look on Snape's face that he knew I was Sirius Black.Did I expose something? Sirius recalled the scene just now, even Peter Pettigrew, who was inseparable from him when he was a child, couldn't tell his identity, Snape even glanced... He stopped thinking - it would be too late if he didn't move. Sirius gripped his wand tightly, and there were already sparse sparks emerging from the tip.

At this time, Sirius was surprised to find that Peter Pettigrew took out another wand from his robe sleeve, and at the same time grinned, revealing a row of crooked teeth.

Sirius Black's brain was a little dazed, and he began to regret his rash appearance just now, but he couldn't turn back. Sirius searched for the most vicious and bizarre spells in his mind—it wasn't difficult, as a Black, his family's influence on black magic gave him a better understanding of black magic than others, but he only stopped at this level of understanding , as a Gryffindor, he never used it.

"Pettigrew, don't move." While thinking, he suddenly heard Snape's voice, "This is not your wand, I think you know the consequences of using it improperly."

Fine, it's best that neither of you move. Sirius swung his wand with such force that his muscles instantly retracted. Between the rise and fall of the wand, colorful spells flew towards the black figure, but all the spells were perfectly blocked: the black figure remained calm. Dodging it calmly, grasping the wand with his fingers and drawing circles in the air swiftly, the defensive action was neat and decisive.Such a scene angered Sirius, and he accelerated the frequency of casting spells, as if he wanted to use all the spells he knew in an instant to turn the two people in front of him into ashes.Sparks rushed towards Snape like lightning, only to be parried again and again.No matter how fast he was, Snape was quicker to respond, and Sirius almost thought the man was laughing at his incompetence.Otherwise, why did he just resist, but didn't make any counterattack?Sweat trickled down Sirius's upraised arms into the sleeves of his robe. "What? Are you scared?" He growled through his teeth, his eyes becoming crazy, and he gradually approached the figure unobtrusively, only to see Peter Pettigrew raise his wand—

Knowing this was his last chance, a spell popped into his head, and he swung his wand, pointing at Snape.

A ray of light poured out from the tip of the wand, met Peter Pettigrew's spell in the air, and then fell on Severus Snape like a huge net.

The smile gradually faded from Sirius Black's face. After seeing the unconscious Severus Snape and Peter Pettigrew, none of the members of the Order of the Phoenix in the room smiled. On the contrary, their faces were tense. "What's the matter?" Sirius pretended to be relaxed and there was a trace of uneasiness in his voice. "It's Snape!"

Still ignored, Sirius was a little dissatisfied: no one was happy for him. Remus got up and walked in front of Snape, carefully checking the man's breathing and heartbeat, and everyone gradually gathered around, waiting quietly.

Sirius suddenly realized that behind all this, there was a secret that he didn't know.

"Tonks, I remember your mother worked at St. Mungo's Hospital in the early years, how about it, can you help?" Remus Lupine's face was even uglier than the day before the full moon.

"I'll try, Kingsley, Arthur, you two help me carry Severus upstairs." Tonks rolled up her sleeves, her hair turning dark brown.

Sirius noticed that she was using Severus, not Snape. "What's going on?" he asked quickly after Kingsley and Arthur carried Snape's figure and disappeared at the end of the stairs.

"Sirius, what subject did you do better than Snape in school?" Lupine asked.

"Dude, are you alright? You know the answer." Sirius was a little annoyed, because he knew that he never got a higher grade than Snape in one subject, even once.

"Then how can you defeat him easily and unscathed?"

"I used black magic."

"Don't forget, he always wanted to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."

Sirius was a little anxious. "Can't you tell me directly? There are so many detours."

"Severus Snape is one of us." Lupine said wearily after a long silence. "Listen to me," he saw Sirius' surprised expression and his mouth that was hesitant to speak, and immediately suppressed his words, "The reason why we have been hiding it from you is because of the relationship between you and him. Moreover, there are some things in action that I cannot disclose to you too much."

"Reveal?" Sirius stood up abruptly from his chair, "You used that word to me! Reveal!" He began to circle the living room anxiously. "You'll never know what it's like to be in this place all day, watching you go into action and fight!"

"Sirius, I understand you." Remus said softly, "I didn't expect that you would go out without authorization this afternoon, nor did I expect that staying here for a long time would make you lose your judgment and calmness. I am at least responsible for this matter." Half the responsibility. Severus Snape is our spy within the Death Eaters, and Dumbledore specifically asked us to trust him in his will. He is our eyes in the Death Eaters, and he is extremely important."

"When did he defect?" Sirius took a sip of water nonchalantly.

"He didn't defect, he just obeyed orders after the headmaster's death." Remus said, "He never appeared in the Order of the Phoenix in the past three months, firstly because there was no major issue, and secondly because he didn't want the two of you to conflict. So we We usually communicate with Snape through the Patronus." Seeing that Sirius was silent, Remus stepped forward and put his hand on his shoulder. "Tell me, what spell did you just use?"

"You are worthy of being a Black, Sirius." Before Sirius could speak, Tonks' voice came down the stairs, and she walked down the stairs slowly, with Kingsley following behind her.

"How is he?" Remus asked.

"The spell used by Sirius is used to destroy a wizard's magic power. If the caster is strong enough, it can make a wizard lose his magic power and become a squib."

Remus gave Sirius a startled look, who didn't speak. "You mean, Severus Snape is now out of magic?"

"No, when Sirius's spell came out, I met Peter Pettigrew's spell. I just tested Snape's wand. The last spell he used was the absorption spell. I guess he wanted to absorb Sirius' black magic. It won't hurt himself, and it won't hurt Sirius." Tonks had already walked down the stairs at this point, "but he didn't expect Peter Pettigrew to cast a spell at this time, and that spell was very strange."

"Peter Pettigrew didn't own the wand he cast the spell with," Sirius said hastily.

"So it is," Tonks said, "Severus' defense was perfect, but Peter Pettigrew changed the power of the spell, but the absorption spell was cast, which made him choose to sacrifice part of himself at the last moment Save yourself."

"What do you mean?" Remus said, "Didn't you say his life was not in danger?"

"At the moment of being attacked, it was a rational choice to lose his pawn and protect his commander. At that time, Severus could only abandon one of three choices: magic representing power, memory representing spirit, and reason representing will," Tonks said. , "Snape gave up his memory. Although his memory is still in good condition, I suspect that this memory loss will be progressive, and will gradually be lost with one of his actions."

"What behavior?"

"It's not clear, but it must be an unavoidable behavior. For example, if this behavior is sneezing, then he will lose part of his memory every time he sneeze-of course, this is just a metaphor, the actual situation may be Worse, it may be eating, drinking water and so on."

"And if he forgets the spells he's learned, won't he become a Squib too?"

"No, that's part of the magic, he won't lose it, the part of memory that Snape chose to sacrifice is likely to be soft, more emotional. What are you laughing at?" Tonks frowned and looked at Sirius, who The corners of his mouth turned up inadvertently.

"I'm so happy for the snot-nosed man. If he had to sacrifice his emotional memory, wouldn't he sacrifice nothing?"

No one laughed with him, and Sirius gradually restrained his expression.

"This is a very painful process. He will lose those memories involuntarily, but he doesn't know what he has forgotten."

"Is there no way to fix it?"

"We can only try to collect the lost memories, but at the moment we don't have the ability to import these memories into his mind again. Maybe we can put the memories in the Pensieve in the future and let him try to recall them, but now we can only take one step at a time. gone."

The room fell silent.

"Okay, isn't he fine now? There's no need to start feeling sad right now, just give him the Pensieve after the war." Sirius broke the silence in the room carelessly, "Besides, the accompanying incidents can be anything I don’t know, what if it’s not a sneeze, but a laugh? If that’s the case, the memory of the snot-nosed man will definitely stick in his mind for the rest of his life.”

"Guys," Remus was about to say, but Arthur's voice from upstairs cut him off. "Severus is awake."
