"Avada Kedavra."

Albus Dumbledore's pupils gradually dilated until he lost his spirit: the white wizard who once shook the entire wizarding world took one last look at the world, his lips squirmed, as if to say something, and then fell backwards.

"No—!" For a moment, Sirius Black wanted to rush up and grab him, but he heard a voice beside him saying, "Get out of here, now, immediately."

Sirius turned his head and saw Severus Snape - the master of this memory - pushing and shoving the glazed-eyed Draco Malfoy. The boy seemed to have lost his mobility, staring motionless at the place where the former headmaster fell, mouth half-opened , dripping with cold sweat.

Snape's eyes sank slightly, and he raised his left hand to cover the blond boy's eyes. The darkness made the young Malfoy regain some sanity after a few seconds, "Come on, there are people below to meet you." Snape put his hand down, repeating the instruction just now.

Draco Malfoy turned and walked away quickly.

Snape watched Malfoy's figure disappear at the top of the stairs, turned around and took two steps, and stood on the edge of the tower, staring intently at the bottom of the tower.

The autumn night was as dark as splashing ink, Sirius imitated Snape and looked towards the bottom of the tower, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. Sirius looked up, and beside him, Snape was still looking down, his black robes blown up and down by the night wind from the tower, his hair disheveled and his face pale.

He'd never seen Snape look like that before.

Sirius stared at Snape without moving.Some scenes, if you don't experience it yourself, you will never feel the shock it can bring to people. Sirius Black had imagined this night countless times, imagining the night, the wind, Dumbledore's longing and Snape's killing curse.However, when he really stood on the tallest tower of Hogwarts, he saw this unhesitating green light illuminate the night sky for a moment, saw the headmaster fall weakly, until he fell into the darkness, and saw the man in front of him Feeling lonely after carrying out Albus' last wish, watching the century-old castle end another era.

Sirius felt a coolness on his face - before he knew it, he had already shed tears.

After he was still in a huge emotional upheaval, Severus Snape suddenly swung his wand, gradually turning his body into an inky fog, and flew to the other side of the castle.

Sirius' eyes went dark.

When he opened his eyes again, there was another Sirius Black standing in front of him - Snape remembered himself.

"Snape! I'm going to kill you with my own hands!" Sirius heard himself roar hysterically and saw dangerous sparks emanating from the tip of his wand.

He remembered the moment when he was so angry that he rushed at Snape without permission after the Order had successfully sent Harry away.

"Isn't this the famous Sirius Black?" Jugson walked over, this Death Eater was released from Azkaban by Voldemort, his eyes gleamed with extreme excitement.This remark brought two more Death Eaters, one of whom Sirius knew, Rodolphus Lestrange, Bellatrix's husband.

"Stay still," Snape said to the other three Death Eaters, eyes fixed on Sirius, wand pointed directly at him. "Killing him won't do any good."

Rodolphus Lestrange cast a jinx at Sirius, who avoided it.

"If he's dead now," Snape said loudly, "you'll never take the Order of the Phoenix stronghold in your lifetime."

"Then wait for the next life!" Sirius roared, his face contorted with anger, "Reducto!"

His spell was blocked by Snape. "You guys leave now, I'll take care of it here." He said to the other three, "Don't ruin the whole plan because of this incident." Turning sideways, Black's spell brushed past him, pulling Snape's robes Boil a hole. "Are you all deaf!"

Sirius saw the three figures step back, and saw Snape and his memory point their wands at each other's noses: they seemed to have been doing this for 30 years, wands pointed, swords drawn.Only this time, he really wanted to kill Snape.

"Black, go back," Snape said, staring at the spark at the tip of Sirius' wand.

"What are you doing, snotlite, order me?" Sirius raged, "Crucio!"

"I thought no Gryffindor would be able to use this spell," Snape said, blocking Black's spell, "but tonight I was lucky enough to witness two Gryffindors who could use Cruciatus, you and your godson."

"Then you should learn more, Snape," Sirius held up his wand, in his mind, Snape would always be that vulnerable young man, "Avada—"

However, before the Killing Curse was released, Sirius saw himself hit by a red light and fell down.He turned his head to look at the source of the red light - he had always thought he was knocked out by Snape that night, but instead he saw Rodolphus Lestrange standing behind Snape.

"What are you doing?" Snape demanded.

"I'm just helping you stun him," said the tall Death Eater, with an indifferent expression on his face.

"Did you know you were using a lethal spell?" Snape said. "He could have died."

"So what." Rodolphus' mouth curled up. "You're not worried about him, Snape."

The dark-haired wizard raised his wand again, this time aiming at the Death Eater in front of him.

"roll."

It is not a wise choice to provoke a wizard with powerful black magic power unprepared. Rodolphus suppressed his smile, turned and quickly disappeared into the night.

Snape waved his wand, Sirius saw his body levitate, and followed Snape to the edge of the Forbidden Forest on the south side of the castle.The moon's light was blocked by the castle, and it took Sirius a while to adjust to the darkness. Snape let go of his wand, leaning Sirius' body against a tree, and began to cast the spell.

Snape was healing himself - it took Sirius a long time to convince himself that, yes, he saw that the wounds on his body had stopped bleeding and were gradually healing. Snape was actually healing me instead of growing mushrooms all over me. Sirius looked at the scene in front of him in surprise: Snape frowned impatiently, but he was very careful, and he cast a healing spell on almost every wound that Rodolphus had cut.

Sirius looked up, he remembered that he and James had beaten Snape under this tree.

The light faded, and Snape's treatment was over. The body of Sirius lying on the tree did not bleed anymore, and the wounds were covered with a layer of brown blood scabs.

Compared with the hustle and bustle on the other side, this side of the castle is quiet. Sirius raised his head, the autumn starry sky is solemn and vast, standing here can see the Milky Way disappearing across the head and at the end of the world.The breeze carried away the last cicada, and Sirius looked down at his foe one last time before the world fell silent.

Severus Snape's gaze didn't move, not even the disgust in his eyes changed.Then he raised his wand and cast a Cleansing Charm, wiping the half-dried tears from Sirius Black's face.

Sirius straightened up, and stood for a long moment facing the small blank wall in front of the Pensieve.

"What did you see?" Snape asked, a wary look on his face.

"It's what happened on the night of Albus's death." Sirius said perfunctorily - he felt that it would be futile to tell Snape what he remembered now, and he would have another dream someday, as long as he still had himself in this dream, then not only this The content of this memory, that is, the fact that he watched Snape's memory in the principal's office today will be forgotten.

"Snape, do you remember what happened the night Albus died?" Sirius asked after a moment of thought. "Things like the Astronomy Tower, Draco Malfoy," he said suggestively.

"If you want to say that I personally helped Malfoy kill Albus Dumbledore on the Astronomy Tower, I think I remember, just not as well as I used to," Snape said.

That's right, he only remembered the branches of this memory, that is, the non-sentimental part.As for the emotional part—for example, his emotional changes at that time—he should have forgotten all of it, which of course made him feel fuzzy in memory. Sirius lowered his head and analyzed: Snape's memory involves Albus Dumbledore, Draco Malfoy, several Death Eaters and himself. Albus passed away after the time of this memory, that is, nothing happened between him and Snape, and of course There is no way to refer to the loss or not; Draco Malfoy was imprisoned by Voldemort in the Malfoy Manor after the operation failed, and he never participated in the Death Eater's operation again, and Snape's memory of him after that should be extremely rare; as for the few Death Eaters , Sirius was sure that there was no "emotional" memory between Snape and them; and the only thing that happened to him and Snape after that was the "duel".

It seemed that Tonks' analysis was correct, the accompanying behavior was the dream, and Snape had forgotten all the perceptual memories of the character in the dream that had been contained in the dream and that had happened since then.

The only thing that Sirius couldn't understand was why the "duel" between himself and Snape was an "emotional" memory for him.

"Do you remember when you stood on the top of the tower and looked down after Albus fell?" Sirius asked, it was an emotional memory, and he needed to see if Snape remembered it to further confirm that the lost memories were all emotional ones .After seeing Snape shaking his head, Sirius was sure that Snape's forgetting about it was caused by external force - after witnessing that memory with his own eyes, he believed that anyone who experienced that scene would never spontaneously forget.It seemed that Snape had indeed lost only emotional memory.

"Then do you remember that you met...me after that?" Sirius suddenly regretted the words, he didn't know the meaning of asking this question.

Snape's eyes became sharp, and anything related to Sirius could quickly arouse his displeasure, "I don't remember," he said coldly, "but I'm glad about it, my brain has ruled out some dirty things." thing."

It seemed that the memory with him was also "emotional" for Snape, why? Sirius ignored Snape's sarcasm, feeling vaguely that things were becoming incomprehensible.

"Severus, this disease can be cured in St. Mungo's." Dumbledore's portrait broke the silence in the room, "Just stay there for a while after the war, and all your memories will come back, don't worry."

"I know," Snape said, softly.

"Severus, have you found Harry?" Dumbledore asked.

"No, but that thing must still be in his possession, not destroyed," said Snape, quickly pulling himself away from the topic.

"Are you looking for Harry?" Sirius had a smile on his face when he heard his godson's name.

"It's none of your business," Snape said.

"Severus, now Sirius is playing the role of Peter, let him know that this plan is good." Dumbledore said, turning to Sirius again, "You can find Harry's whereabouts with Severus, and you have something very important to give him."

"You guys should have put me in action sooner." Sirius said angrily, "I gave Harry a mirror in his third year, and I have the exact same one in my hand, and I can see that mirror in this mirror The situation at the location, so as to contact him and confirm whether he is safe. This matter is a secret between me and Harry, and I have never mentioned it to anyone else."

"You know where he is?" Dumbledore asked.

"That mirror is in their luggage," Sirius said. "I usually only see what's in the luggage. The last time Harry took it out was two weeks ago, and I could tell they were in Godric's Hollow. We Are you going to find him there?"

"Even as a Gryffindor, your IQ is way too low, Black," Snape said sarcastically. "Damn Potter was born in Godric's Hollow, how many Death Eaters do you think the Dark Lord would keep there? Stay there for two weeks?"

"Sirius, tell Severus immediately after confirming Harry's location next time," Dumbledore suppressed the words that Sirius was about to say, "Severus, I suggest that you explain this plan to Sirius in detail when you go back. The matter is very important, I hope you two without any negativity," he concluded. "Don't forget that you are comrades in the same camp now."

Spider's End was even cruder than Sirius had imagined. "I want to ask, doesn't Hogwarts ever pay you?" Sirius remembered that this was the first thing he said after he stepped into the room, and Snape made it clear that his mother would not be at the door to talk to everyone A person who entered the house was yelling and swearing.

Sirius was arranged by Snape to live in the master bedroom - this is the only room in the house with a bed besides Snape's own bedroom, and Snape's parents used to live in it, and no one lived there after they passed away one after another, so A lot of sundries were piled up, and it was in a mess, as if no one had ever cleaned it, like an abandoned corner of the whole house, Sirius took a lot of effort to clean all the dust away.But Snape was determined not to let Sirius touch the house, and moved all the clutter into a closet in the corner of the living room within an hour.

"It's not as bad as I imagined," Sirius stood in the middle of the packed room, "at least there is no snot smell." He began to take out his things from the luggage one by one.First clothes, then some daily necessities and double-sided mirrors, after taking them all out, Sirius stared at the bottom of the box, where his graduation photo lay quietly.

James Potter put his shoulders on his shoulders, with a familiar smile on his face, Lupine standing on the other side narrowed his eyes slightly because of the too bright sunlight, with a gentle expression, Peter stood on the far right, a head shorter than Remus. Sirius unfolded the photo in its entirety, his gaze swept over Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw's students, and finally settled on Snape.

After getting the graduation photo, he had seen this figure many times, and laughed at Snape's nose with James. At that time, he felt that the afternoon was very long. They played around by the lake all day without classes, and the sun shone on the trees. Wonderful light spots were chiseled in the shadows, and unknown birds chirped in the trees, and sometimes they left unique gifts on their heads. Sirius could always start from Snape's nose, talking about how he managed to tease the greasy guy again today, or discovering some secrets he had been hiding.

Sirius involuntarily reached out to touch Snape in the photo, after the actions at Malfoy Manor, and looking at Snape's memories, Sirius' focus gradually shifted away from that nose, and he noticed that Snape had very long eyelashes— —The sun left two small shadows under the eye sockets.

"Please tell me you're going to keep this stupid picture in your suitcase forever." Snape's voice came from behind him.

"Snape!" Sirius withdrew his hand sharply, "Don't you knock when you enter other people's rooms?" he demanded loudly, because Snape's face was flushed when he saw his little movement.

"This is my house," Snape said. "Also, put away all your Gryffindor-like things, I don't want to be seen by my visitors, most of whom are your relatives." Snape said .

Sirius angrily rolled up the photo and threw it into the box. Snape was right, most of the Black family members were Death Eaters, and he didn't intend to comment on the subject.

"I'm hungry," he said finally. "What do you have at home?"

"bread."

"anything else?"

"□□."

"Are you waiting for yourself to ascend to heaven like an Indian ascetic one day?" Sirius strode towards the kitchen, and sure enough, after opening the locker, he only found a few slices of bread, and they were as hard as rocks.

"You're so incomprehensible, Snape." Sirius threw the bread out the window regardless of the owner's resistance, then took out the bottle of Polyjuice Potion from his waist, and took a long gulp. "You can choose to starve here or go out with me to eat human food," Sirius said as he put on his coat.

The author has something to say:

The author's words:

Explanation of "dreamless sleep": this potion is equivalent to sleeping pills in the wizarding world, and it cannot resist the damage from black magic. The dreams that Snape had due to the curse were different from his usual dreams, and now he Maybe they are just ordinary dreams, dreaming about some messy and unrealistic things, or they may be forced to dream about past memories because of being cursed, and this is a process of memory loss.

I enjoyed writing that memory, Sirius' attitude towards Severus had changed, and home life was about to begin.
