Everyday Players at Hogwarts.

Chapter 400: Eye of Narcissus
"Tell me, what else did you do to Harry!" The muscles on Snape's ginger face were tangled together, filled with murderous intent.

He drew his birch wand and pointed it in Dumbledore's direction, as if he was about to stab it into Dumbledore's heart at any moment.

You should know that the little wizards who are boarded by Mo Mo Ran will not live past the age of 10!
"This was an accident. I never thought that Petunia would treat Harry like this. They seemed to regard magic as an enemy that could hurt Harry, and they have been trying to drive magic out of Harry."

"By the time I discovered Harry had an Obscurus it was too late."

"But fortunately, thanks to Lily's blessing, the Obscurus in Harry did not threaten his life. Instead, it became his strength." Dumbledore's eyes flashed with memories.

"so far so good!"

"You shouldn't say it's okay when it comes to Harry!"

"I thought this child would be safe under your arrangement, but it turns out to be just okay!"

“Yes, it turned out great!”

“But it was all caused by accident!”

"What would happen to Harry without Lily's blessing?"

"A poor kid who won't even live to be 10 years old after defeating Voldemort!"

"What can you do to save it?"

"How many more crocodile tears will you shed in the end?"

"When I was amazed by Harry's magic last year, I didn't realize that behind the beautiful Phoenix was the ugly Obscurus." Snape tried his best to remain calm, but his white knuckles revealed his unrest.

"Harry is the one predicted to have powers that Voldemort doesn't understand, and to defeat him."

"The prophecy made Harry a being comparable to Voldemort, with the potential to be an extraordinary wizard."

"You have to understand that I must give Harry to Petunia. Otherwise, Harry, as a Horcrux, will be defeated by Voldemort's evil side without Lily's blessing as a support of blood relationship."

"And what was the result?"

"A Harry with Voldemort's powers, or rather, a Harry possessed by Voldemort's mind." Dumbledore said

It may be a little cruel, but it is the only option.

The prophecy created Harry and also foreshadowed Harry's future.

If he wasn't cruel, Harry would have faced death.

If it were him before, facing Harry who was gradually losing control, he would try to stop him, or he would be afraid that Harry would become another Voldemort.

Nor would he have resurrected a young Voldemort.

But it's different now.

The British wizarding world must change so as not to fall behind the world.

The news of the wizard's landing on the moon can be said to have eliminated his stubbornness - forcing everything to develop according to his plan and avoid sacrifice.

"Then why did Harry suddenly distance himself from me?"

"Does he have the same bullshit vision you mentioned as you do?"

"Can you see the Death Eater mark on me?"

"Or can you see the aura of dark magic caused by my obsession with dark magic?" Snape asked unwillingly after sighing.

"Perhaps you should wash your hair?" Dumbledore asked, trying to lighten the mood.

"Tear into pieces!" A cold voice came from the principal's office.

It was 11:10, at the Quidditch pitch, Snape was sitting at the back of the stands.

It was almost ten minutes before the match between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. To be honest, Snape was quite surprised. He had expected that there would not be so many people - just like the previous match. The students should have been distracted by the magic items that were transformed from Muggle items.

But he made a mistake, and it seemed like the entire school had descended upon the stands surrounding the Quidditch pitch.

He discovered the real reason for his mistake from the conversations around him. It had been a while since those Muggle items became popular, and the recent Christmas holiday had already allowed them to see more creatively modified items on the streets and in the village.

Now is the time when they are all temporarily bored with transforming items.

And a Quidditch game is undoubtedly a good way for them to pass the time.

And this game also includes Harry Potter, the most famous student in the school. Dudley Dursley, a broomstick destroyer who became an excellent goalkeeper. Cedric Diggory, like Harry, is the young captain of the Quidditch team and very handsome.

This made Snape feel deflated.

He came here today for one thing, to cast a magic spell - the Eye of Narcissus.

Narcissus originated from Greek mythology and was the son of the river god Cephesus and the water nymph Liliope.

He was a handsome young man with a very delicate appearance, but he was not attracted by any girl. He only admired his own reflection in the water. Eventually, he died of depression in self-pity.

Turned into a daffodil, still staying by the water, watching over its own shadow.

Even though this magic is the same as Narcissus's, one can only see oneself after using it.

This is a magic unique to the Prince family. It has very high requirements and its function is to see oneself in the memory of others.

Moreover, its principle is different from that of telepathy. It uses oneself as the negative pole of a magnet, and the self in other people's memories as the positive pole, which attract each other.

But this magic also has a weakness, that is, the pre-swing is too long and cannot be interrupted, and the other party must really care about you and have you in their heart.

Perhaps it was through this magic that his mother saw the love his father had for her beneath his violence and foul language that she had always——

Snape shook his head.

The most important thing is that for this magic to work, the other party needs to be busy with other things and not notice the caster, otherwise the other party will notice something is wrong or interrupt the connection.

This is also why Snape didn't use this magic in Potions class, because that was his class, and it would not be good if he kept staring at Harry motionlessly.

And elsewhere - Harry stayed in the Ravenclaw dormitory all day again.

So, in the stands, which should be small in number, he had just enough time to wrap himself in his robe and observe secretly.

But no one expected that there would be so many people now.

There was no other choice, Snape had to give up and come directly.

And now, he was using this magic on Harry Potter, and had been using it for almost ten minutes.

Then, in a corner that no one was paying attention to, a tall figure in a black robe was muttering something, with a blue light emitting from his eyes.

Then, the figure suddenly lowered his head.

At this moment, strange images appeared in Snape's mind.

That was Hogwarts, but the castle was empty at this moment, filled with spider webs and bats.

Outside the window, the blood moon was shining high, leaden clouds were rolling, and thunder and lightning were roaring.

Snape looked at all this strange and profound stuff from what should be Harry's perspective and came to the Astronomy Tower.

What greeted his eyes was a scene that Snape could never have imagined in his dreams.

At the top of the astronomical tower, where there should have been an open space, there was a huge coffin. Inside the coffin, two pairs of red eyeballs flashed the same light as a blood moon.

He slowly approached with his wand, and the figure in the coffin gradually became clear - it was himself! He had canine teeth and a pale face!

In his arms lay the person he would never forget in his life—Lily! Lily Evans!
