Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 53 Snape: Hey, can we reconcile?
As a half-blood wizard, Severus Snape's childhood could not be described as happy.

Even after gaining magical powers and entering Hogwarts, Snape still lived in misfortune.

Within Slytherin, he was not accepted by the upper circles of the house because his father was a Muggle. At that time, the pure-blood theory was prevalent.

Outside of Slytherin, some Gryffindor members, led by Harry's father James Potter, took pleasure in bullying him.

When Snape was in school, although the war had not yet broken out, it was also a time when the Death Eaters and wizards from other factions in the wizarding world were confronting each other in all walks of life.

Slytherin House, which gave birth to the most Death Eaters, was incompatible with other students, led by Gryffindor.

All kinds of bullying and abuse come unexpectedly...

A speck of dust from the great changes of the era fell on Snape and was as heavy as a mountain.

On the train to school, James Potter and others, who had a grudge against each other, attacked Snape for some reasons, and the degree of their ferocity far exceeded that of ordinary conflicts among college students.

Fortunately, his best friend whom he met before entering school, Harry's mother, Lily Evans, was like a holy light that illuminated his heart.

Let him keep moving forward no matter what setbacks he encounters.

Snape was never a man who would give up. At that time, he was very ambitious and eager for power. When faced with problems, he would not back down, but would find ways to solve them.

In his study of magic, he discovered that he was particularly talented in black magic... This was normal, as more extreme minds would generally develop talents in emotional magic.

All the tortures he had experienced in life now turned into the steps for him to ascend to heaven.

Through the power of dark magic, the increasingly powerful Snape began to be accepted by the entire Slytherin.

Slytherin is a place that values "nobility", and what can be called noble, besides blood, is strength. In fact, the root of the nobility of blood is that here, blood really has power!
The descendants of a prophet will have certain predictive abilities, and the descendants of a powerful wizard will most likely be stronger than ordinary wizards.

As Snape grew more powerful, the once aloof nobles began to extend olive branches to him and make friends with him. His reputation grew, and people outside the school had heard of him. Even ancient pure-blood saints like Lucius Malfoy had expressed their approval of him.

but……

Success in career did not bring the favor of "that light".

Instead, Lily began to drift away from him.

As a wizard who could become the President of the Hogwarts Girls' Union, Lily's magical talent was no worse than Snape's. She was also very good at emotional magic and was well aware of the terrible consequences that might result from long-term use of black magic, an extremely negative emotional magic.

The deeper one goes into emotional magic, the more easily one's mind will be distorted by it.

She had been trying to persuade Snape to give up the Dark Arts and stay away from Slytherin students who were also learning the Dark Arts, but to no avail.

Snape was an ambitious man. His talent in potions could not make him powerful in a short period of time. He would never give up the dark magic, the only way to realize his ambitions, nor would he give up the high-level connections he had worked so hard to obtain.

Moreover, even if we don't mention ambition, if I lose the path of dark magic, I will become weak again. How can I, a weak half-blood from Slytherin, gain a foothold in this world?
Snape longed for the power to resist, longed to be in power.

The differences between the two grew larger and larger, until... the day of the OWLS exam.

After that day, the two of them parted ways completely. She left him and walked step by step together with the leader of the predators whom he hated the most.

Lily Evans, James Potter...

The two familiar names and the memories of the past gradually faded from his mind and turned into the real Harry Potter standing before him.

Harry Potter said a lot.

But Snape didn't want to listen.

Be it an apology or anything else, even the right and wrong, Snape had no intention of arguing at all.

Snape just stood there quietly, listening to Harry's talk.

He never stopped missing Lily.

Of course he knew better than anyone that James had done a lot of wrong things, but he had also done a lot of wrong things.

Lily did abandon him, but it wasn't Lily's fault.

In fact, what Snape hated most was not James Potter, but himself.

If he had not been deceived by that damn Sirius and approached Lupin on the full moon night, James would not have heard the news and rescued him.

If that full moon night had not happened, Lily would not have discovered James's other side.

The two of them will never get together.

Maybe Lily will still leave because of her own choice of ambition, but at least... she will not die!
The conceited and incompetent James Potter could not protect her.

The stupid and useless werewolf is of no help. And Sirius, that damned traitor, traitor!

Every time he thought of him, of the traitor still alive, Snape felt his body tremble.

"Okay... shut up!" Snape raised his trembling hand, motioning Harry to stop talking.

Facing those familiar eyes, there was no longer any alienation or fear that made me uncomfortable.

Looking at this little wizard who overcame his fear, fairly acknowledged everything, and had the courage to face everything, Snape suddenly felt a little bored.

At this moment, Snape could no longer see the shadow of James Potter in Harry.

He is Harry Potter, not James Potter, nor is he anyone's double.

……So be it.

Snape was tired.

Harry looked at Professor Snape's pale face and the anger that suddenly rose in his pupils and then gradually died down. He thought that his apology not only failed to make Professor Snape let go of the past, but instead annoyed him.

After thinking for a while, Harry said, "Professor Snape, I know that even if I think my father did something wrong and am willing to apologize to you for what he did, it will mean nothing to you."

"As someone who was not involved in the incident, no matter how much I apologize, it may not be able to dispel the anger in your heart that has not stopped to this day."

"But, I am their child, whether you want my apology or not, I have an obligation to do so."

At this point, Harry paused, then continued: "I saw the 'mistake', and I will not ignore it."

"I also don't think that just a few words are enough to erase this mistake."

"I will go find Lupin and ask him to apologize for what happened in the past."

"I will go find Sirius and make the betrayer pay the price he deserves."

Hearing this, Snape, who was originally a little bored, suddenly had a hint of emotion on his face.

But Harry didn't stop there: "I will make my father realize that after he did something wrong, he shouldn't just muddle through as if nothing happened. He should face his past mistakes like a man."

"I will let my mother know that you did not choose the path of dark magic in the end, and you are not the person she thought. You are a good professor who can lead the college to win the college cup for six consecutive years, and a person who is willing to protect others at all costs." When saying the last sentence, Harry remembered the corner of the future that Roger showed him.

If Roger hadn't shown up, Snape would have died on his own.

When Harry stopped talking, the emotion on Snape's face disappeared and turned into a sneer: "How do you make James Potter realize his mistakes? Dig him out of the grave and push him in front of me?"

He thought Harry had changed, but unexpectedly, he was still like his bastard father James, full of big talk and unrealistic.

It’s still that annoying, so-called 'savior'!
Facing Professor Snape's sarcasm, Harry said calmly: "I will resurrect them, and then..."

"Resurrection?!" Harry was interrupted by Snape before he could finish his words.

"who do you think You Are?"

"You are just a lucky guy who escaped from that man's hands because of Lily's love!"

"Do you really think that just because others praise you as a savior, you can really do anything? Ridiculous!"

If Snape was sarcastic just now, now it has turned into a rebuke!
The rage that had subsided flared up again, but this time it was not directed at Sirius, but at Harry.

"Now, get out of my office immediately. I don't want to see you again." When he said the last sentence, Snape's voice was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out.

As a master of magic, Snape knew too well how difficult true resurrection was.

Has anyone ever succeeded since ancient times? At least he has never heard of it.

"But... Roger said that I might have a chance to do it." If it were in the past, Harry would probably be frightened to the point of falling down after being scolded by Snape in anger, but at this moment, he would no longer succumb to fear.

"I believe in him."

Following Harry's rebuttal, the dean's office fell into silence.

"..." Snape stopped talking, but from his constantly distorted expression, it could be seen that he was not at peace inside.

There was silence for about ten seconds.

Snape managed to utter, "That annoying... I mean, that powerful prophet who has never made a mistake in his prophecies in the archives, did he really say that to you?"

"He said you have a chance to revive Lily?"
