[HP][SBSS]Somewhere In Times

"I know it's a foolish thing to do now." When Sirius, Snape, Kingsley and Tonks arrived at Gryffindor Tower, Sirius thought for a moment, watching the surprised eyes of the children when they faced him and Snape. He took a badge out of his pocket. "Do you know what this is?"

"I know! This is the original emblem of the Order of the Phoenix." A Ravenclaw child shouted, "Luna told me."

"You're smart." Sirius said, "The four of us, and Remus Lupine, the Weasley family..." He took a deep breath, "There are more people, we are all members of the Order of the Phoenix, many of them have died , Many are still fighting outside." He put away the badge: "The east side of the castle has collapsed, and I don't know if this place will be spared. Kingsley said that you are fighters, are you willing to take over those members of the Order of the Phoenix who died and fight on their behalf?"

Most of the children's eyes flicked back and forth between Sirius Black and Severus Snape's faces.At this time, Arthur Weasley walked in, followed by Neville, Luna and other DA members. Arthur stood still in front of Sirius. Sirius saw Arthur's eye circles were red for the first time after years of hard work, "My whole family is here." Arthur said, and then the red-haired head of the family didn't stop any longer , turned and left, and continued to fight. Sirius looked in the direction he was leaving, and suddenly thought of the Weasley family portrait hanging on the fireplace in the Burrow, and he knew that the simple words just now meant more than a thousand pounds to Arthur.

The atmosphere in the room changed. For the first time Snape felt this look from children: kind, reverent, hopeful.He suddenly felt uncomfortable, pursed his lips, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Sirius.

The children got up, pulled out their wands, and looked up for what seemed like a second. Sirius smiled, his face still stained with black blood. "Gryffindor and Slytherin in the sixth grade followed me and Severus Snape out of the Gryffindor Tower, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff in the sixth grade followed Kingsley and Tonks out of the Ravenclaw Tower, and all the fourth and fifth graders stayed behind to protect the younger children. Note Stop, disperse immediately after going out, but don't leave the fighting team completely so that your teammates can cover and rescue you, children—" He paused and said: "This is the final battle, be prepared to sacrifice."

The children nodded, a few with red eyes, but not out of fear.

"I know that this year you've all been studying spells you shouldn't be learning at your age." Snape said in a low voice, "Use them all." The former Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher drew his wand, his face calm:

"Don't be afraid to use the Unforgivable Curse, because after today, everything will start anew and everything will be forgiven."

After saying this, he looked at Sirius, who was looking at him with a smile, his eyes seemed to tell himself that he understood.

Everything will start again, Sirius Black is no longer a fugitive prisoner and traitor, and he is no longer a Death Eater loyal to the DarkLord.Whether he can remember it or forget it, he has been waiting for too long, and he only hopes that all this damn thing can end today.

The moment he turned around, Sirius Black took a step forward and leaned next to him. I couldn't believe that all these years, as long as he took a step forward at any time, he could stand shoulder to shoulder with him like this now.

"You need to help me find Potter," Snape said to Sirius as they walked out together, without turning his head. "I need to tell him…"

"There's no time to explain why." Sirius shifted his wand to his left hand and shook Snape's hand hanging beside him. "I'll help you find it." He said, his tone full of trust.While taking off the death eater's black robe that he was wearing, he threw it into a piece of charred rubble.

When they led the children out of the castle, the flames of the curse had already illuminated the crumbling castle like day.After a whole year of oppression and humiliation, each spell cast from the wand grew firmer and more steadfast.However, they didn't have time to admire this temporary army full of combat power. They just waved their wands as hard as they could, and kept their balance while dodging back and forth among the flying spells everywhere.

While fighting, Sirius was distracted by keeping an eye on Snape's position from the corner of his eye to see if he was safe, and the spell nearly hit him in the head a few times.

"What were you thinking?!" Just as he flicked a spell, Snape's voice suddenly appeared in the back of his head, accompanied by a "swipe". "Is your fighting efficiency so low? Can't you dodge only two spells at the same time?" Snape said. "It can't be helped," Sirius said, waving his wand. "I have to keep an eye out for your safety. You are seriously injured." The air was filled with screams, shouts, and the clatter of spells colliding, and Snape was there Beside him, he almost had to shout to talk to him. "You don't need to do such useless things," Snape said, "Mind yourself."

"What about you? Isn't it because you have been paying attention to my safety that you helped me fend off the curse in such a timely manner just now?" Sirius said with a smile.

Snape didn't respond verbally.There must have been a contemptuous and contemptuous expression on his face. Sirius thought. "Mongrel dog." Sure enough, Snape's voice came, only this time, it was more anxious than sarcasm: "Let me say this for the last time, if you fight in this state again, you don't need Death Eaters, I will do it myself It's you."

"Okay," Sirius said, without smiling. "I'm not afraid of death, I just want you to live."

Snape didn't respond, Sirius glanced at his position again, the Potions Master had just repelled a Death Eater, and glanced at himself slightly sideways, the corners of his mouth seeming to twitch slightly.

"Sirius!" a voice suddenly appeared, "Tonks?" he called, "Did you find it?"

"Lucky, I just got a letter from your Patronus." Tonks said, standing beside them and joined the fight: "Neville said Harry just showed up with Luna in the Ravenclaw common room with a very sad face on his face." I am happy, as if I have just completed an important task." A large number of flaming spells flew towards the three of them.

"The three of us are too ambitious, stay alert!" Sirius yelled, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Snape moving away from him. "Snape?!" He was startled, turning his head subconsciously, the spell flying towards him was blocked by Tonks, her hair had turned bright red, and she knocked down a Death Eater who was rushing forward with a flick of her wrist. "Get out of the way first," she said, pulling Sirius up, who subconsciously pulled Snape up, and they scrambled behind the collapsing rubble.

"Concentrate on fighting." The dark-haired man said, "I said before that I need to tell Potter one thing."

"I'm going with you." Sirius said, "From now on, I can't allow you to leave me."

"Don't be stupid." Snape said, "You are the main fighting force, what will the rest of you do if you leave?"

"But," Sirius opened his mouth wide, "you're gone, and I'll be distracted because you're not around."

"Mind yourself," Snape said, and this time, his tone wasn't sarcasm, Sirius was 30 percent sure. "I can't do it." Sirius said, "For more than [-] years, I have long been used to having one eye on my own affairs and the other on you." One would have doubted that statement, whether it ended up being him rushing to protect Snape or pouring medicine into Snape's water glass the moment Snape looked away. "I'm bound to get distracted when you're gone, so I have to—"

"Sirius Black." Snape interrupted him, calling out his full name, his dark eyes fixed on gray ones:

"Takecare," he said at last, and with a "crash", he stood up, swung his wand, and moved close to the direction of the Ravenclaw tower.

"Let's fight too, Sirius," Tonks said.

"Yeah." Sirius nodded and sighed, Snape's voice still lingering in his ear, he watched Snape's back, turned his head and said, "Is everyone okay?"

Tonks' face suddenly froze, and his hair suddenly darkened. "What's wrong?" Sirius' heart sank.

"Fred Weasley died," Tonks said, sighing.

Sirius' hand gripping his wand tightened suddenly.My whole family is here.He suddenly thought of the words Arthur left before he turned to leave, he thought of him torn between his responsibility as the head of the family and his mission as a member of the Order of the Phoenix, he thought of Fred's happy smile and exaggerated laughter, and thought of the New Year that had just passed, he The mischievous look on his face when he lit the indoor fireworks produced by Weasley's Joke Store in the house, and the excited expression when he handed him the small hand-held fireworks... He didn't dare to think about it anymore, the more he thought about it, the colder his heart became cave.

"Let's fight too." Sirius said suddenly, "Tomorrow it will start all over again." He borrowed Snape's words and jumped out of the rubble.

"We better stay close to the main force," Tonks said. "They moved north."

"Okay." Sirius fought back while fighting, and in the distance, he seemed to see Bellatrix, who was standing in front of the ruins and screaming excitedly. "We can go and surprise my cousin." He gritted his teeth.

"Okay, don't get distracted," Tonks said.They moved slowly towards their Death Eater kin. "That's where the Death Eaters gather, be careful." Tonks added, the enemy's fire was intensifying, but they still couldn't retreat. "Sirius, we're surrounded!" Tonks yelled, and glanced at his side as fast as he could, only to see Sirius Black frantically casting spells around, his strength gradually exhausted.

"Danger!" She yelled, Sirius turned his head and saw a purple light shooting towards him, he felt a burst of flames brushing against his chest and hitting his stomach, at the same time, his feet left the ground, "Hula" flew into the air at once.After he realized what was going on, he turned his head and saw a young girl smiling at him with a few freckles on her face, and she was sitting on her broom.

"Ivana? You're Ivana Petrov?!" Sirius yelled, unable to contain his surprise. "Sirius Black," the girl called his name, "I heard that you are a good Quidditch player. Please accept the respect from the Seeker of the Fratcha Eagles." Her English was slightly accented. "Your abdomen hurts badly and is bleeding badly, please take care of it." Sirius never imagined that he would have the opportunity to sit on the broom of his favorite team's Seeker in this lifetime. "What about Tonks?" He asked eagerly, ignoring the excitement and pain. "We acted in a team of two, she was rescued by another teammate of mine, don't worry." Sirius nodded, "Why are you here?" He asked again. "Remus Lupine contacted us through our Bulgarian liaison officer, and he said that you invited us." The girl said, "Our main job is ground rescue and delivery." She swooped down and escaped a spell .

"Oh..." Sirius said, "Remus died."

The girl didn't make a sound, and the two didn't talk to each other again until Ivana put him in the open space in front of the north side of the castle. "It's safer here." She said, "Thank you for always supporting our team. I hope you can come to Bulgaria to watch our games after the war." She left a sweet smile, turned and left the next second.

"Thank you." Sirius looked at her back and said, turned around, and made up his mind to express his gratitude to him face to face next time he watched the game.

Only half an hour later, he learned of her death: the just 22-year-old girl had a curse on her leg and fell into the dark crowd of Death Eaters.

Sirius was being bandaged in a makeshift emergency room in the castle when he heard the news of his death, surrounded only by busy medical staff and bleeding people.He staggered to his feet, only to be pinned back into the chair by Madam Pomfrey. "Don't get excited, young man," she said. "The bandages have been disobedient since I was in school."

Sirius yelled angrily: "Didn't you hear that someone died?" At the same time, he turned his face and glared at the school doctor, only to see two faint traces of wet tears on her haggard face. "Trust me, child," said Mrs. Pomfrey. "I've seen too many wounds and death in my life, and I don't want to see any more. But," she said, "these are things that war can never avoid." She Tie the bandage in a knot and keep your hands steady as a rock.

Sirius fell silent, and at this moment, two students walked in carrying a bloody body. Madam Pomfrey immediately got up and stepped forward, instructing the two students to lay the man flat on the ground, and then brushed the hair covering the man's face with her hands.

"Tonks?!——" Sirius couldn't sit still anymore, he got up and rushed forward, the pain in his stomach hit him so badly that he staggered on his feet.He dropped to his knees beside Tonks, clutching her hand, feeling as cold as ice.

Madam Pomfrey shook her head.

"NO——!!!" Sirius finally couldn't hold it anymore, screamed, too much death weighed on him, making him breathless, he stared at Tonks' wide but lifeless eyes, a pair of The blue eyes stared blankly at him, as if trying to suck his whole body in.One by one, the old friends left one after another, but he was so powerless.

"Who did it?!" He raised his head and asked the two students, the muscles of his entire face were twisted and deformed. "Fenrir Greyback," said one of the tall students, tears of rage welling up in his eyes as well.

"It's not time for Baixian to take effect." Madam Pomfrey said, "At least another quarter of an hour." She tried to calm Sirius' revenge with her eyes, but it was of no avail.

Sirius rushed out of the castle. He ran forward desperately, casting spells on every Death Eater he saw. The deep pain in his abdomen didn't affect his speed. The inner torment, he was so sad that he felt that the pain in his abdomen had gradually become numb.

A spell came, knocking down the Death Eater in front of him.

He turned his head, and then he saw Severus Snape.

"Snape! You're still alive!" Sirius rushed forward, he used so much force that he was sure that part of his wound had been torn open again, but he didn't care about it, just after the great grief, he Falling into ecstasy, the fact that Snape was alive was the only thing he cared about right now, he stood in front of Snape and grabbed his hand. "Severus Snape," Sirius said loudly and solemnly: "Severus Snape, from now on, I will not let you suffer any more." He has lost too much, but fortunately the most precious person is still there, and he must use his life to recover Protect. Snape was thin, and he squeezed his knuckle hands so hard Sirius squeezed so hard that his palms ached.

Then he turned around and continued to cast the spell with his left hand, although Sirius was sure that the force of his grip had hurt him just now, but he felt that Snape's hand was securely in his own, and he didn't struggle at all, but moved toward Sirius Stand aside.

The next second, Sirius felt his back pressed against Snape's straight, hard spine.

He suddenly remembered that night in Dean's Woods, huddled back-to-back in the tent after they had eaten roast rabbit together, when he tried to close the distance between them.At this moment, he could finally feel that there was no distance between them anymore.Behind him was his beloved and the warmth he brought. Suddenly, he no longer had worries and fears about the future, and the fireworks of the Unforgivable Curses became extremely bright and beautiful in his eyes.

They spent half their lives looking at each other out of the corner of their eye. At this moment, those crazily burning but fleeting spells around them are like a grand and profound ceremony, even if today is the end, even if they will die in the next second If both of them die, at least for this second, these two men bathed in painful memories will no longer have to fight alone.

The spell exploded around them, and Sirius burst out laughing heartily, like an amused child.At this moment, he felt extremely happy, he took a deep breath, felt the cold winter air pouring into his lungs, he moved his muscles and bones, no one could restrict what he did, so Love and hate, he squeezed his lover's palm even more tightly, and at the same time felt the other squeeze back even tighter, Sirius kept laughing, and Snape remained expressionless, only the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but they were too much The hard white knuckles, as well as the warmth and strength from each other, made them truly feel alive at this very moment.

Suddenly, from the depths of the Forbidden Forest came a burst of fire, like moths seeing the light, all the Death Eaters suddenly flew into the air, turning into wisps of black smoke and disappearing in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.The entire battlefield suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked up at the sky.

When everyone was frowning and ready to face the battle at any time, Arthur Weasley rushed out from the Forbidden Forest——

"ended!"

The tears and blood on his face intertwined, and at the same time, he was still crying, and his body and voice were trembling violently.

There was five seconds of silence.

Sirius was the first to react, ran forward and grabbed the red-haired middle-aged man by the shoulder: "Arthur, what are you talking about Arthur?"

"It's over... Sirius, Harry killed Voldemort, we're victorious." Arthur Weasley said, the expression on his face couldn't tell whether it was excitement or sadness. After all the costs, victory and those lost faces Breaking into the sea of ​​hearts, Sirius felt his vision gradually blurred and his breathing gradually difficult. The sky was slightly orange due to the approaching dawn, and the oak trees by the lake still stood, forming a shallow silhouette. The outer wall of the castle was covered with blood, and the ground There are cold corpses and regretful and empty expressions all over the place. Suddenly, the whole world erupts into shouts and celebrations, and the tears and cries of all people merge into ecstasy and wild screams.

ended.

Sirius burst into tears, Sirius Black hadn't cried like this since he was sorted into Gryffindor at the age of 11, not even when he was in prison, tortured by dementors, even if he was adrift alone, eating rats to survive cried.He felt a pain in his throat, and tears fell unscrupulously on his strong chest.He felt that a new day was coming, as Snape said, he was no longer a traitor who broke out of prison, he was no longer a disgusting Death Eater, and everything had to start all over again.

He finally waited.

Sirius took a deep breath, tried to wipe away his tears, then turned his head and stared closely at the black figure in the crowd - Severus Snape's tall body stood alone in the crowd, and he was also looking at Sirius.Although separated by dozens of steps and the noisy and boiling crowd, in Sirius Black's eyes, that figure was extremely clear, as if it was the future he was looking forward to standing in front of him alive. Sirius closed his mouth slowly, but he still couldn't hold back the tears streaming down his face. The crowd began to surge towards the direction of the Forbidden Forest - where Harry Potter was.But neither of them moved, and in the face of the victory they had paid for with great pain and sacrifice, in the moment of joyous celebration, they were finally relieved.

Time seemed to freeze, and there were only the two of them left in the vast open space in front of the castle.He opened his arms towards Snape, with a handsome and doting smile on his face: "Get ready for tomorrow." He was sincere, but he was met with a blank stare, although he saw a blush on that face.

Suddenly, behind Snape, a black figure suddenly stood up and raised his wand.

Snape only knew that Sirius was running towards him, the expression on his face was eager and excited, and he felt like a century had passed in just a dozen steps, and his heart cried out: "Mongrel dog." But there was no malice, many years ago , he had dreamed of Sirius Black running towards him so eagerly, arms outstretched. Snape rushed towards him suddenly, the sun was just rising, and Severus Snape, who had never experienced any emotional interaction, suddenly panicked, he clenched his hands slightly subconsciously, his light gray eyes were getting closer and closer to him, Sirius' face gradually lost focus, The next moment, he felt himself being pushed out hard.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that he had experienced this scene before.Is it in a dream?

"You're a wizard, Black," Snape said, helping Sirius cast a healing spell while recalling how he had almost jumped in to save him just now. "You can use spells."

"It's such a time, there's no time to cast the spell." Sirius said, "When I pull out the wand, the knife will also stab you."

The moment he fell to the ground, Snape thought he couldn't remember.Maybe it was in a dream.

A dazzling green light hit Sirius Black's chest.

The sound of glass breaking.

Severus Snape swung his wand back unconsciously, and Bellatrix fell to the ground. "Black!" He knelt down on the ground, pulled Sirius' head up on his lap, and cast a cutting spell with trembling hands to cut Sirius' shirt open. He saw the trace of Avada Kedavra - a piece of Sirius Black's left chest It had turned charred black and was covered with broken glass.

Severus Snape didn't know that Sirius Black kept the bottle of his memory so close to his heart.

He stared blankly at Sirius's fading eyes, and the words he just shouted with a smile still echoed in his ears.

"Get ready for tomorrow."

No, no, no... Snape frantically patted Sirius on the cheek, it all happened so suddenly, he stood there and waited for Sirius to run from the crowd, what he was waiting for was a hug.

Strands of silver leaped from the shards of glass on Sirius's chest, then flew into the air and spread out, enveloping the two of them. In those silver threads, there were nearly 30 years of memory between Snape and his lover and enemy——abusive Dueling, malicious teasing, affectionate money, saving lives, the brightest stars, reluctant kisses, lakes, castles, beautiful boys...all of them turned into silver billowing clouds, Snape caught them with his fingertips, But no matter what, I can't touch it.

Like the silhouette dedicated to their bumpy life, the silver threads are intertwined and constantly changing. The sun has risen, and the sunlight shines on the silver threads, emitting a little light, like diamond stars, and like a meandering galaxy.

The emergence of a large number of memories attracted the dementors in the castle, and they rushed from all directions, desperately sucking their past. "No!—don't!" Snape yelled helplessly, a tear trickling from his dry eye socket, and even though he knew he could just watch all the memories fade away like fireworks, he didn't want to let his last Precious memories become food for dementors.

He picked up his wand with a trembling hand and waved it with all his strength: "ExpectoPartronum—ExpectoPartronum—ExpectoPartronum!!!"

Silver dogs roared out from the tip of their wands, charging at every dementor that approached them, and Snape cast Patronuses in futile frenzy, watching the dogs fly through the air, and when the dementors had left, he ran back Snape stepped forward, looked at him benevolently, wagging his tail, and looked exactly like Sirius Black's Animagus.

Severus Snape looked at the familiar silver figure in front of him, his chest seemed to be torn into pieces.With tears in his eyes, he forced a smile, the giant dog took two steps forward, and lay down next to Snape. Snape stroked its forehead with one hand, and hugged Sirius Black's gradually icy body with the other. The memory gradually drifted into the air. Scattered fragments are crumbling.

SiriusBlack, do you remember all these things I remember?

Damn bastard, I was expecting you to remember it for me.

Severus Snape felt dizzy and the ground was shaking.He fell headlong into Sirius' arms.

Then he had a dream.

The autumn of 1971 was warmer than previous years, coupled with the excitement of riding the Hogwards Express for the first time, halfway through the journey, 11-year-old Severus Snape was slightly sweating on both sides of his nose.He just put his hand on the button of the jacket, thought for a while, and then took it off again. Under the jacket was a fat and ugly dress, which was changed from a shirt of his father that was so old that it seemed that it could no longer be washed.He didn't want to be ridiculed by his classmates before school started, so he just secretly raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his nose, and then fixed his eyes on the scenery outside the car window.

"Hey, what's your name?" A voice came from the aisle at the back, and Severus Snape turned his head to meet a pair of gray eyes - a brown-haired teenager was leaning against the door of his cubicle, holding a With a box of Bibi multi-flavored beans.His eye sockets are deep and his nose is straight.Seeing him turn his head, the boy's pretty eyes widened slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

"My name is Severus Snape." Snape's palms were a little sweaty. He had no friends, no brothers. Before that, "boy talk" for him was limited to fighting with the gangsters in Spider's End. Spoken words, and even though this conversation only happened once - after his eye was swollen, Snape learned to walk around it.And they both had such stupid faces, Snape mustered up the courage to look into those light gray eyes again, and found that the other was staring at him intently.

"You should ask my name at this time, don't you even understand this?" The brown-haired boy curled his lips.After he walked into the car, almost everyone asked his name.

"What's your name?" Snape asked, tilting his head.

The boy smiled, revealing a set of neat and clean teeth, which made Snape purse his lips subconsciously.

The brown-haired boy didn't answer, but stepped into Snape's box and sat down beside him.This caused the two girls sitting across from each other to stroke their hair subconsciously. Snape saw his head close to his and felt his nose start to sweat again.

"Your eyes are pure black." He said, looking into Snape's eyes, who clenched his fists and tried not to avert his gaze.The sudden "clang" sound reminded them that the Hogwards Express had passed the longest bridge in the journey. The faces of the two teenagers were marked with flickering light spots, reflecting their staring figures on the lavender curtains in the corridor.

"I'll give you a Bibi multi-flavored bean." After a while, he looked away and put his hand into the bag of multi-flavored beans. Snape breathed a sigh of relief, and took a bean that was handed over, "Thank you." He said softly, carefully putting it in his mouth.

Instantly, Snape blushed, but said nothing.The brown-haired boy grinned, stood up, and walked out of the box.Then go back and say it. "Severus, your name sounds like snot," he smiled, taking a bean from the bag and popping it into his mouth. "So I specially gave you a snot-flavored one. I'm the best at distinguishing the flavor of multi-flavored beans."

Snape looked at each other, he didn't want to be ridiculed, so he stared at each other with a disgusting taste.

"Goodbye, Snotlite." The brown-haired boy said after a long time, turned around to leave, then turned his head and said, "By the way, my name is Sirius Black."

After the footsteps faded away, Snape spat out the multi-flavored beans and put them in his palm. Sirius Black, he thought of the teenager's name and appearance, what a nuisance.The sun was about to sink into the lake, and the outline of the moon had already emerged in the western sky. He gently leaned his head against the car window, and his cheeks were slightly hot from the afterglow.

The dream was over, and Severus Snape continued to sleep, with a slight smile on his face.

Faint silver threads swirled from his temples.So far, he has completely forgotten about Sirius Black, the Gryffindor who protected him with his life and lay quietly beside him.
