Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 52 The only way to overcome fear is...

Harry Potter is a child who grew up living under the care of others, being hated by his family, and being ostracized and bullied by his peers.

He had experienced similar things to what Snape had experienced.

So he was very empathetic to Snape's situation.

When experiencing those memories through the Pensieve, he was able to truly understand how Snape felt when he was bullied for several years by a group of people led by his father.

Whenever he pulled his thoughts out of the Pensieve, tears would flow down Harry's cheeks.

That is the lingering echo of a large amount of painful emotions.

This pain came from Snape as well as from Harry.

After seeing so many beautiful memories about his parents, how could he not feel pain when this dream was shattered and he discovered that there was another side to everything?
Originally, Harry hated Snape very much because Snape had been mocking him since he started school.

They think he is cold, scary, likes to stir up trouble, and is extremely biased towards Slytherin.

Even though Roger showed him Snape's future once, Harry still had extreme prejudice against Snape.

but.

After experiencing Snape's experience firsthand and his mood at the time, Harry's feeling towards Snape changed from disgust to guilt.

Snape's targeting?

After going through all those painful things and having the only "ray of light" in his life taken away by someone, Snape's mere lip service to his ridicule was already magnanimous enough!

Now, Potions class has become the most terrifying course in Harry's eyes, because there, he has to face the person he doesn't know how to face.

Different from the fears of the past.

Now his mind was tortured every minute and every second, even when he was away from the classroom and even when Snape was not in front of him.

Through magic, Roger looked through the lead coffin and saw Harry, who had a complicated expression in front of him. He pondered for a moment and then said, "Harry."

"Regarding the matter between you and Snape, I have many words of comfort or life lessons to say. I can say a lot of things, but I don't think that's what you really need."

"I think what you need is some more concise and clear suggestions... Are you interested in listening to them?"

Harry nodded and said, "Of course."

He was willing to speak out about the confusion in his heart, which in itself was because he wanted to ask Roger for help.

Harry hopes that Roger can use his magical methods to resolve his own knot, just like he did when he settled the conflict between Hermione and Ron and helped other classmates time and time again before.

Seeing that Harry was willing to listen, Roger sorted out his thoughts in his heart, and then said, "Harry, you should have heard that I had some special experiences before I entered school."

Although the specific details of the Middle East incident were confidential, groundless rumors had already spread throughout the British wizarding community, and even some students at Hogwarts had heard of it.

"Anything could happen on that chaotic battlefield. I had to face all kinds of difficult choices. Every second of hesitation on my part could lead to the death of my companions."

Harry said nothing, but listened attentively.

"Faced with those choices, there was only one thing I did from beginning to end."

"Think carefully, is your decision correct?"

“If so, do it.”

“No matter who the enemy is, no matter whether others object or not, I will move forward without hesitation.”

“Search your heart and ask what you know, then act on what you know, and do it without regret.”

"Harry." Roger's tone was solemn.

"All I want to tell you is a simple sentence."

"Do what you think is right!"

Harry paused for a moment: "I think... the right thing?"

"How do you think you can solve the problem? Think about it, and if you come up with what you think is the right way, do it."

Only a person can decide how to go in life, and Roger is not interested in instilling a lot of nonsense into others.

Just choose a path that you won't regret, and that's all.

At this point, Roger's voice softened: "Perhaps... you already have the answer in your heart, but you are afraid to face it, so you are so entangled."

Harry lowered his head in silence for a long time before he raised his head.

When he opened his eyes again, there was no longer any confusion in his pupils.

"Thank you, Roger."

Yes, my heart has already given the answer to what to do and what is right.

I was the one who didn't dare to face Professor Snape and I was afraid.

It is I who am afraid to face the other side of my parents and I am afraid.

I just don't want to face things that embarrass me.

I am afraid that if I present my 'truth' to my current friends, they will have a different opinion of me.

He was afraid that he would become like Snape in school, being ostracized and looked at strangely by others.

Harry, who had been alone until he was 11 years old, was afraid that the friendship and love he had gained in the wizarding world would turn into a dream bubble in the blink of an eye, and he would end up being alone again.

Harry walked out of the common room with steady steps. As he walked forward, the fear of the unknown continued to come over him.

His heartbeat was speeding up and his muscles were shaking.

But...his steps remained firm.

Facing your fears is a scary thing.

But Harry thought that if he retreated at this moment, it would be a more terrible thing.

He will become a person who makes the 'wrong' choice and allows himself to get by.

Abandoned courage.

Abandoned the possibility of becoming a great person.

Perhaps the self who "lives in harmony with the world" is more "mature" and will live a relatively happy life by handling things in a tactful way.

But those who are as dusty as the light are destined to find it difficult to become great wizards.

Roger said that magic is a miracle of the mind.

Only a strong mind can command powerful magic.

If you choose to be ordinary.

Then there would be no possibility for me to travel through time and save my parents!

How could a child abandon his parents? Even if they made mistakes, Harry's heart never wavered.

When Harry Potter stopped, he saw the Slytherin Headmaster's office in front of him.

There was only a door between him and Professor Snape.

When I came here again and looked back, the prophet who could protect me from the wind and rain was no longer by my side.

This time, I have to face everything alone.

"I want to do the right thing." After whispering softly, Harry raised his hand.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the office door.

"The door is not locked." Snape's deep voice came from the other side of the door.

After saying this, Snape, who was correcting homework, looked up and found that it was an unexpected visitor.

"Hey, isn't this our savior? He's not hiding behind the annoying prophet and trembling this time?"

Faced with the familiar sarcasm, Harry did not react, but just said: "Professor Snape, I have read the memories of my parents."

"All the memories."

"As the son of Lily Evans and James Potter, I came here this time with something I want to say to you."

When Harry finished speaking, Snape, who had originally had a sarcastic look on his face, changed his expression completely.
