[HP][SBSS]Somewhere In Times

Compared with the last time they visited, the Muggle restaurant seems to have improved and repaired in terms of decoration. I don’t know if it’s because the owner replaced the broken light bulb. The whole hall seems to be brighter, and the uniforms of the waiters have also changed. , appear more decent and upright.

The sun is slowly moving towards the west. The light rain in the morning and the current clearness make the sky on one side show a magnificent sunset. The winter dusk comes very early, and most of the retail vendors opposite the restaurant have packed their beds and returned home from get off work.On the street, pedestrians who got off work hurriedly walked, and occasionally one or two children were led by adults, pointing to the sunset and giving out loud praises as they passed through the frolicking streets.

Looks like a good night is coming.

Several streaks of black smoke mixed with indistinguishable colors of light landed in the backyard of the Muggle restaurant. After the black smoke cleared, a group of people in black robes were revealed. After confirming each other, they quickly flashed into the shadow of the building .

"It's 5:30." Lucius Malfoy put away his pocket watch, "All replacements must be completed by 6 o'clock." With a wave of his hand, the Death Eaters scattered away.

Severus Snape looked at everyone's approximate location from the corner of his eye: there were 26 waiters in the restaurant, and there were 30 Death Eaters, 26 of whom replaced the waiters, and the other four, one went to the roof, two went to out of the office area, and Lucius Malfoy transformed into a young man, sitting in the lobby to complete the original purpose of this meeting - the so-called handover between Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

After realizing that the Death Eaters' plans hadn't been secretly changed at the end, Snape relaxed a little, and then felt a slight nudge from someone beside him. Snape turned to see Sirius Black in the shape of Peter Pettigrew.

"It's been almost five minutes, let's hurry up, the west side of the first floor." Sirius said in a low voice, "Our workload is twice that of other Death Eaters."

The Death Eaters' plan was to replace the waiters in the restaurant, and the Order of the Phoenix's plan was to replace the diners in the restaurant.So, for Sirius Black and Severus Snape, their task was not only to deal with one waiter each, but also to deal with one more customer.

After Sirius finished speaking, he walked towards a tiny door that opened in the back wall of the dining room. Snape looked around again, and followed.After entering, there is a dark corridor. At the end of the corridor is the back kitchen and the bathroom for employees, all with closed doors. Sirius and Snape stood one behind the other at the entrance of the corridor, Sirius in front and Snape behind.

"Snape, take my hand." Sirius said, because he couldn't adapt to the total darkness at once, Sirius couldn't confirm Snape's exact position, so he raised his arm in a general direction.

There was no sound in the darkness.

"Please, Peter's legs are so short, our pace is not the same at all, in such a dark environment, we can be a few meters away within ten steps."

He heard the sound of Snape raising his arm, and the other party obviously groped in the dark for a while, and then, a cold hand was placed in his own.

Although the danger was imminent, Sirius still couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth in the dark, then he held Snape's hand tightly and walked forward slowly, and then pressed his body against the wall behind the back kitchen door.

Sirius' eyes had adjusted to the darkness, and with the help of the faint light cast by the frosted door in the back kitchen, he looked sideways at Snape's face, then leaned his head closer to the crack of the door to look in.

Apparently, no Death Eaters had walked through this door before—everyone in the back kitchen was busy as usual, unaware of the big event that was about to happen.

Then he saw a waiter in a red uniform come in, talking to a chef, his voice was so small that Sirius couldn't make out the details.

"Hey! Will!" shouted a cook from the other side of the kitchen.

The waiter in the red uniform turned his head in response: "What's wrong?"

The chef picked up the plate: "Sorry, I put the wrong seasoning again, can you pour it out for me?"

An impatient look appeared on the waiter's face: "It's the fourth time this month, don't drink in the future." He complained and walked up to take the plate.

"Please, pour it farther away, I don't want to be charged again." The chef laughed along, and hurriedly poured the vegetables into the pot again.

The back kitchen door opened again, and another waiter came in from the outside, with blond hair, who looked of some other blood. "Will, I have something important to tell you now." He looked a bit wrong.

"Then you go out with me and pour Charli's masterpiece." The waiter who came in first raised the plate in his hand.

Sirius turned quickly. "Godsend Snape, we don't have to break in, there are two waiters coming out, one of the blond ones may have sensed something is wrong, I'm going to the other side now, we cast spells at the same time, you deal with the blond, I Deal with the other one." With that said, Sirius let go of Snape's hand and jumped to the other side of the door.

Before Snape had time to contemplate how alert Sirius Black was, the door opened and two waiters came out. Snape slowly raised his wand, keeping his whole body immersed in the darkness.The moment the door closed, the spell came out.

A second before the plate hit the ground, Snape cast a spell silently, and the plate slowly flew up, falling into Snape's palm.And Sirius released the levitation spell, and the two unconscious waiters slowly floated up.

"Don't push his feet, Snape," Sirius whispered, "that way they'll spin around in the air, better tug at their pants."

"You seem to be very experienced," Snape said after placing the two of them in the staff-only bathroom stall.

"Naturally, I don't know how many times I have pulled your pants." Sirius smiled, took out a knife and cut off a lock of blond hair, thinking about what he had done.It's just that this time Snape wasn't the one lying on the ground, but replaced James Potter as his accomplice, which felt rather strange. "But I've never cut your hair." Sirius said, putting the blond hair into a vial filled with Polyjuice Potion, shaking it, and gulping it down.

After a while, the two replaced waiters entered the main hall on the first floor from the back kitchen. The only difference was that they both had a white handkerchief for identification in their left pockets.The restaurant seemed to be doing very well, with almost no empty tables, and Sirius followed Snape to the table where Lucius Malfoy was seated - the platinum-haired aristocrat had turned into a brown-red-haired youth - and A "PP" nametag was placed next to his lemonade to signify the completion of Peter Pettigrew's replacement job.Then, he and Lucius Malfoy exchanged glances briefly before returning to the western column.

"We'd better get someone to eat by themselves," Sirius whispered to Snape, fumbling in his trouser pocket, where the stun potion was still lying securely.

"No, I'm looking for two people to eat with." Snape's eyes searched the dining crowd. "It's too obvious to have two tables empty at once."

"Then how do you expect them to eat your 'stun dish' at the same time?" Sirius asked.

"Is this bothering you?" Snape raised an eyebrow, turning back to pick up a tray with two cups of tea from the low table. "It seems that your prank has never involved more than two people." He left a sentence, and then walked into the hall alone.

Sirius watched intently as Snape made his way to the table closest to them, where two men sat. Snape put down the tea, then took out a notebook and a pen.

"This store is giving away new products, please rate after tasting." He said to customers.

Sirius had to admit it was a good idea, but he thought Snape was the worst waiter in the world - despite drinking Polyjuice Potion, his eyes were still as cold as swallowed ice cubes, and Snape stood there There, staring at the two people, waiting for them to pick up the cup, and squeezed out a stiff "Please."

Even Sirius shuddered.

The two men picked up the cups, and the coma soup entered their stomachs smoothly.

After a while, the two were slumped over the table, and Snape looked up at him with a triumphant look on his face.

"Merlin's pants." Sirius rubbed his face with his hands helplessly, with that kind of look, it was no different from forcing someone to drink with a knife.he muttered inwardly.He stepped forward and dealt with Snape one by one, taking the two of them to the bathroom on the first floor.

"Aren't you tired?" Sirius asked as he dipped his hair into the Polyjuice Potion.

"Before you ask this question, you should carefully recall how you managed to get from this hotel back to the hotel last time," Snape said.

Thinking of the last time he got drunk and was dragged back by Snape, Sirius couldn't help but laugh.

He stood up and opened the compartment door.

There was a middle-aged man standing outside the door, Sirius was shocked, but the middle-aged man had already seen everything in the cubicle, "Tony!" The waiters are murderers!"

It turned out that there were three people at that table, but this one was late. Sirius quickly ran behind the bathroom door and locked it behind him. "It was a misunderstanding," he said.

"You don't have to explain to him." Snape walked out of the cubicle, and with a flick of his right arm, his wand slipped from the sleeve into his hand.

However, the moment he cast the spell, the middle-aged man drew his dagger and threw it at Snape.

"Snape!" Sirius yelled, throwing himself at Snape, feeling a sharp pain in his right shoulder, and the moment he fell to the ground, he was sure he must have been hit by a dagger.

"Merlin." He struggled to raise his head, the middle-aged man had already fallen under Snape's spell and fell straight on the ground.He gritted his teeth and pulled the dagger out of his right shoulder. Blood spattered on the floor and wall, quite like the scene of a Muggle murder.

"Snape?" He heard a rustle behind him, but the pain made him unable to support himself and look back. "Snape, are you alright?" He asked through gritted teeth, feeling a warm current against his wound - Snape applied heated anise extract to his right shoulder, and put his hands under his arm to try Help him up.It took some effort as Sirius' upper body was already in pain.After Sirius sat down, he looked at Snape, "Snape, are you...are you alright?" Seeing that the other person's expression was a bit wrong, Sirius repeated the question just now.

Snape frowned as he stared at Sirius's wound that was still bleeding wildly, his face was slightly pale, and he kept replenishing the white fresh extract. "You're a wizard, Black," he said. "You can use spells."

"It's that kind of time, there's no time to cast the spell." Sirius said, "When I pull out the wand, the knife will stab you too." He said it easily, as if the knife hadn't stuck in his shoulder .

Snape pursed his lips, ripped off Sirius' clothes forcefully, then took out several other potions from his pocket, and spread them evenly on the wound.After the pain gradually eased, Sirius' expression became clearer. "Hey, Snape, I realize I guessed one thing wrong."

"what?"

"I always thought I was the one who ripped your clothes off first." Sirius grinned jokingly.

"I have a bottle of medicine here, after you smear it on, your arm will be useless." Snape didn't look Sirius in the eyes, but he didn't walk away, but pressed harder on Sirius' wound.

Sirius didn't pay attention to his wound, he raised his head and stared at the busy half of Snape's face, who had helped him stop the bleeding and healed him with a mixture of spells and potions, and then simply The ground was bandaged, and his clothes, floor, and walls were treated with repairing and cleaning spells.

After all this was done, Snape raised his gaze to meet Sirius's. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but stopped.

"Snotlite, you look at this with such eyes..." Sirius looked down at the badge on his clothes, "Tink, I should be jealous if you look at this Tink like this."

Snape looked away, and put the bottle of dill extract back in his pocket, which he did twice before he managed to put it back.Then he stood up and said to Sirius who was still sitting on the ground, "Don't forget who you're talking to, Fred Weasley."

"Snape!" Sirius called to him, standing up against the wall. "You worry about me."

"You think too much."

"I can see it!" Sirius said happily, "Don't worry, I've started to heal, and the knife didn't get stuck in my neck."

"But it might go to your neck."

"That's right, but I just need to make sure you don't get hurt." Sirius' expression became serious, and he shook Snape's hand vigorously, "I'll go out first." After speaking, he pushed open the bathroom door and walked out.

In Severus Snape's life, he had bled and wounded for many people, and was even ready to die for someone at any time.And Sirius Black was the first person he met who was willing to die for him.

Sirius stood in the lobby, and after entering the solo operation, he still glanced occasionally out of the corner of the eye where Snape was standing on the other side of the restaurant, listening impatiently to customers complaining about the speed of serving food. Sirius looked at Lucius Malfoy again, he was sitting in the middle of the restaurant, and the 26 Death Eaters had all turned into waiters and spread around him, from the first floor to the second floor, protecting the nobleman in the center.As long as members of the Phoenix Society are exposed, they will die under the 27 spells in an instant.

"Slap", Sirius lowered his head, and a golden lighter lay quietly at his feet.His heartbeat increased: the lighter was the signal for him to connect with Fred, yet he held his breath and slowly bent down to pick it up.

"Sorry, this is mine." Sirius just stood up when he saw a short young man walking over and extending his hand to him.

"Of course, here you are." Sirius handed it over with a smile. "May the flame illuminate your future." He clearly said the code word.

The young man took the lighter, "Also dispel the night." After speaking, he leaned forward. "Sirius, how is Snape?" Sirius glanced at the man in the distance and nodded. "He's fine."

"I was lucky. I found you after trying two waiters." Fred said, "Remember my face, there is a birthmark on the left side of my face." He put the lighter back into his jacket pocket. "Arthur has successfully occupied the central control room, and now we are waiting for Remus' action signal. Oh yes." Fred looked around: "Remus' action signal is 'a silver spoon', don't forget your mission." Despite taking the compound decoction, Sirius could still see the twins' sly and excited, expectant yet calm expression in the young man's eyes.He nodded, the young man turned around, and quickly mixed into the customers.

A silver spoon.

Sirius recited the code silently in his heart, then walked slowly in the hall, observing the surrounding situation.Since the waiter hadn't served food for a long time, a slight commotion had already begun in the restaurant. Sirius saw a woman in a sexy evening dress complaining to the man next to her, while cutting a steak with a knife; a child was choking and coughing desperately, and his mother gently patted staring at his back; and an elderly couple who looked like they came from high society, and their attitudes were as respectful as guests...

"Sorry, waiter, I dropped my spoon, can you change it for me?"

Sirius turned quickly to see a man in a bow tie holding a silver spoon in his hand.

The password appeared? Sirius looked around quickly, but nothing happened, everything was still the same as before.

"Can you change the spoon, please?" the man asked again.

"Yes, yes." Sirius quickly took it, reminding himself to hold his breath, he turned and walked towards the sideboard, when he took out a new spoon, he saw the man turned his face to talk to his wife again.

Maybe it's just a coincidence. Sirius walked back with the spoon carefully, and handed it to the man politely.He saw Lucius Malfoy staring at him from a distance, and tried to make his movements smooth and natural.

Suddenly, Sirius saw a customer sitting in the corner stand up and raised his hand high, so eye-catching that he could be seen from any corner of the restaurant.

In his hand, he held a silver spoon.

The second Sirius reacted, the entire restaurant was suddenly plunged into darkness—all lights were cut off in an instant.The crowd screamed, and quite a few ran screaming for the door, but it was obviously in vain - all the exits had been locked by the Death Eaters.

Sirius quickly pulled out a second bottle of Polyjuice Potion and swallowed it in one gulp, and pulled out the hapless customer's coat and pants from his compression pocket: the blond waiter disappeared. Sirius quickly ran in the direction where the silver spoon appeared just now, but was grabbed by a hand and dragged to the corner.

"Sirius, I'm Tonks," said an unfamiliar voice.

"How did you see me?" Sirius blinked hard, the surroundings were pitch black, he couldn't see anything.

"Except for Remus and Arthur, everyone's eyes have been in the dark for the past 10 minutes, and they've gotten used to it, of course they can see." Tonks said quickly, pulling Sirius forward. "We can take advantage of the five minutes the pupils adjust to the dark, but there are a lot more of them than us, and they will fight back once they can see, and," Tonks said, "after the power is turned off, they all take off the waiter's clothes. Subdue, use your memory, Sirius."

The sound of the curse erupted, and two rays of light converged above the main hall, forming huge sparks.The moment the sparks illuminated the surroundings, Sirius saw the man with the gray beard dressed as Rodolphus Lestrange, he swung his wand, and the spell shot at him, but the light brushed past the Death Eater, and Sirius gave away his position in vain— —Two spells rushed towards him at the same time.

"Shit." Sirius squatted down hastily, and two spells hit the wall behind him, burning the white wall to black. Sirius scrambled forward, gradually closing the distance between himself and Rodolphus Lestrange, while cautiously casting Distraction Spells at the Death Eaters he could see around him.Then he got up suddenly and cast another disarming spell, Lestrange's wand fell out of his hand, Sirius was just happy when he suddenly felt a wand poke his back, he turned his head slowly and saw a Death Eater standing behind him , Sirius searched the brain, determined that he was Avery.

"Avery? What are you going to do to me?" Sirius used Peter's usual sentence pattern. "I'm Peter Pettigrew!"

"I saw you curse Lestrange."

"That's not Lestrange, that's from the Order of the Phoenix!"

Avery looked at him dubiously, doubting his own judgment. "Why don't you believe me?" Sirius squeezed his throat and said, "If I were a member of the Order of the Phoenix, how would I know your name?"

The surroundings were in chaos. The Death Eater thought for a while, took his wand away from Sirius, took a step forward, and cast a spell at a distance. When Lestrange fell down in response, Avery turned around triumphantly, but greeted him. Under Sirius' Stunning Charm.

"Thank you, idiot." Sirius cast the Oblivion Curse on Avery, perhaps due to the appearance of a large amount of magic light in a short period of time, suddenly three rays of light shot towards Sirius, and one of them cut open the wound on his right shoulder again.

This is too fucking coincidental. Sirius hastily squatted down clutching his right shoulder, this time the wound was bigger than last time, blood spurted out, Sirius gritted his teeth and crawled under the table closest to him.

He didn't dare to light up the fluorescent lights. In the dark, he felt a stream of heat flowing into his shirt. The wound stretched from his shoulder to his chest. The severe pain affected Sirius' breathing. He sucked in the air, but Blood was still gushing out.

I'm not really going to die.

A faint purple light surrounded Sirius's upper body, he turned around in surprise, and at the same time as the pain was coming from the wound, he saw a black-haired, customer-like person sitting on the floor behind him without saying a word, casting a spell Flowing slowly as he sings.

"Snape!" Sirius growled excitedly. "How do you know I'm here?"

Snape didn't answer, but moved a little closer, applying the potion again to Sirius' wound.

"Let me tell you, I killed two just now." Sirius gritted his teeth, and it was hard to tell whether the expression was from excitement or pain.

"Then I hope you'll remember that you have a healing potion in your trousers." Snape took a bottle from Sirius' trouser pocket. "Unless you want to die as a 'hero who killed two Death Eaters,' then I have nothing to say."

"The wound is too big, I'm just covering my shoulders." Sirius said, the table and the tablecloth blocked half of the noise outside - some were crying, some were praying, some were roaring, and in this magical small space, there were only the two of them.

"I can only stop the bleeding, but you can't fight anymore, go to the control room on the second floor immediately and let Lupin bandage you."

"No, I can still use my left hand."

"Do you want to die with some Death Eater?" Snape said. "It's like Gryffindor's heroes, but let me tell you, they're far more numerous than you, and one person for another would be a dream come true for them."

Sirius gave up struggling, frustrated that he had been injured at the start of the fight.

"I'm leaving." Snape turned around.Although no one can see here, if they are found, the Death Eaters are like a fish in a jar.

"Snape." Sirius subconsciously reached out and grabbed Snape's wrist.

"Black, I don't want to die with you," Snape said.

In the dark, Sirius couldn't see the other person's face clearly, so it was just right, Sirius had Snape's own appearance in his mind, he leaned against the yellow and green tablecloth, and kissed Snape's lips.

Then, just like in the bathroom, he got out of the table first, bent over to the second floor, dodged all the way, and finally stood in front of the door of the central control room.Just as he was about to reach out to knock on the door, the door opened by itself.

"Sirius, I'm Remus." After hearing these words, Sirius' eyes lit up with excitement. "How do you know I'm at the door?"

Remus Lupine pulled him closer to the room. "There are monitors, and it's night vision. Arthur is right, it's very useful. As long as you see someone approaching, you can open the cat's eye and cast a spell, so it's very safe here." He opened a box in the corner, Take out the medicine and bandages. Sirius glanced around the corner and saw three unconscious Death Eaters. "I saw you were injured and was about to go out to meet you when I saw Severus get under that table too, so I knew you were fine."

"Oh, you saw it." Sirius was a little embarrassed.

"During the battle, you won't have air conditioner, will you?"

"I kissed him."

"What!" Arthur Weasley, who was sitting in front of the monitor, couldn't help turning his head.

Sirius nodded.

"Oh my god." Remus froze for a few seconds before biting off the bandage. "Historic moment, if James knows that you ended the era of teasing snot in this way, his spirit in heaven must be very relieved."

Watching Remus' reaction, Sirius tried to swallow "I actually kissed him three times" in his stomach.

Thanks to Snape's timely magic treatment, Sirius felt half the pain after the bandage, and while buttoning it with one hand, he walked behind Arthur and stared at the nine small screens in front of him. "This thing is amazing."

"Voldemort is stupid because he underestimated the power of Muggles." Arthur looked up at Sirius. "Because of that, he would never think of using it."

"What's that?" Sirius said, pointing at the screen. "Looks like a patron saint."

This sentence attracted everyone's attention to that screen. "Arthur, go back and watch it again," Remus said.

Playing back the screen, this time the three of them could clearly see that they were indeed a patron saint.In the action plan, the Patronus is a distress signal to be used as a last resort.

"Looks like it's from Tonks," Sirius said, looking nervously at Lupine.

"It doesn't seem to be. Tonks's is just a wolf, and this Patronus seems to be a dog."

"But the Patronus of no one but me is a dog." Sirius said, "Arthur, take a quick look, there is no one who can't be found in the picture."

Sweat was dripping from Arthur Weasley's brow, and the Patronuses were so prominent in the dark that if they could see them, so could the other Death Eaters. "In such a chaotic situation, how do you find 10 people at once?" He was a little anxious.

"Where's Snape?" Remus asked suddenly. "Why haven't I seen Snape all this time?"

"Impossible. Snape's Patronus is a stag. I saw it with my own eyes in Dean's Forest."

"But he's not in the picture, and Tonks can't find it," Arthur said.

Remus drew his wand.

"I'll go with you to save Tonks," Sirius said.

"You will only be a burden to me. Arthur has to keep an eye on this thing, and you have to leave behind the Death Eaters who are approaching from the cat's eyes." Remus said and glanced at the screen, after making sure that there were no Death Eaters around the control room go to the door. "But that Patronus really doesn't look like Tonks." He said as he opened the door of the central control room.
