Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

The venomous words and humiliation that could be called "torture" during daily classes.

And when Harry 'died' not long ago, he looked as if he had lost everything.

So - the possibility in Ryan's mind became a certainty!

He realized the incredible fact.

"Professor Snape, the person you wish to resurrect is...Ms. Lily Potter!?"

Chapter 107: One Memory, Two Answers! (3.4K, third update)

"..."

Snape didn't say anything either, but the subconscious change in his expression when he heard the name said it all.

Ryan looked at Snape, with countless words in his heart.

But in the end, he couldn't utter a single word.

He had heard a lot of gossip from the past recently - but none of it had exploded to this extent.

Ryan is certainly not stupid.

Combined with the age difference between Snape and Lily Potter, as well as his attitude and many previously overlooked details.

He was almost certain that this Potions professor whom Harry hated the most might have been a suitor of Harry's mother in the past!

Even more precisely...

"Not just a suitor..."

Ryan thought of Snape's awkward personality and the wound deep inside Snape that he had caught a glimpse of before.

He was keenly aware that there was probably a complicated story behind this—far more than just a story of a rejected suitor.

"Lily..."

At this moment, Snape's face twitched.

It seemed that mentioning the name itself was like casting the Cruciatus Curse on him.

Even in front of Dumbledore, he almost never mentioned this name on his own initiative.

But now, he said it.

"Do you know Legilimency, Elias?"

"of course."

Ryan didn't deny it, but his expression grew slightly serious.

Because he already had a vague idea of ​​what Snape wanted to do.

"Use it on me."

Snape whispered, "I don't know how to perform Occlumency."

Then Ryan's expression became more serious.

"professor..."

"You and Potter are friends, Elias!"

Snape's expression at this moment was very calm: "I know who you are, Elias - you must confirm me before you can trust me."

He has been hiding in this dark corner and licking his wounds for the past ten years, but now he decides to expose it bloody.

He didn't care if the wound became more painful, as long as... it could save her!

"Now...cast a spell on me!"

So Ryan said no more.

He knew what Snape was talking about.

It was true—he did have faith in the professor.

But this time, the matter concerns not only himself, but also Harry... and even the soul fragment belonging to his mother in Harry!

Ryan didn't know what had happened in the past years, nor was he sure what purpose Professor Snape had in making today's request.

In this case, at least in this matter... Ryan certainly would not trust Snape completely.

It had nothing to do with Snape himself—that was what Salazar Slytherin had taught Lion.

“People have completely different attitudes when facing different things.”

“Even a trustworthy person can become untrustworthy when it comes to matters that concern his deepest obsessions.”

"You have to learn to doubt everyone, kid."

This is what the arrogant wizard said at that time.

"Including you and the other three teachers?"

At that time, the young Ryan asked this question.

"..."

He still remembered Slytherin's slightly stiff face at that time.

Although his face was always stiff and indifferent.

"You might as well doubt us, boy."

This was Slytherin's response at the time.

"We will also keep some things from you - of course, we won't do anything that would harm you."

Ryan then asked again: "Will you doubt me too?"

"..."

Then Salazar Slytherin remained silent even longer.

"will not."

After a long pause, he finally responded: "You should go to training."

"But that's not what you said... This is a serious double standard..."

"Shut up, boy - I am a sufficiently outstanding wizard, I have the ability to see through everything, and you are obviously not yet!"

In the end, the farce ended with Ryan practicing wandless spellcasting for three hours.

then...

"Buzz!"

Ryan looked at Snape and activated Legilimency.

And then, just as Snape had said—Lion felt no resistance.

His thoughts quickly entered Snape's mind.

Thus, he fell into the gloomy rain at the end of Spider Alley.

The short, thin, pale boy huddled under the broken windowsill, while downstairs he could hear his parents arguing.

That was Severus Snape's childhood.

Dark, damp, lonely, and twisted, it seemed to be foreshadowing his destined fate.

But that dark life was changed on that morning when he was eleven years old.

After seeing the girl named Lily Evans sitting on the swing.

Snape's life began to illuminate.

They became friends and spent wonderful times together - a time when Ryan saw the river shimmering with golden light and the treetops that were incredibly lush and beautiful.

"Good memories are always embellished by time to distinguish them from dark ones."

Ryan realized this.

And dark memories do come one after another.

Snape and Lily's differences were obvious from the beginning, starting when they boarded the Hogwarts Express.

"She's a Muggle."

"But she's my sister."

This simple conversation is enough to explain everything.

The former is a supporter of pure-blood doctrine and has a desire for black magic and power.

The latter is a Muggle-born wizard who is brave, naive and determined.

So naturally, they were not assigned to the same college.

They are still in touch, still have genuine feelings for each other, and they also have a common hobby - they are both geniuses in potions.

But quarrels are inevitable.

Lily didn't like the wizards in Slytherin, and Snape didn't like the wizards in Gryffindor - from this point of view, the Sorting Hat's sorting results were very accurate.

Also in his memory, Ryan saw Harry's father, James Potter, and his three good friends.

James was clearly fond of Lily, which put Snape on very bad terms with them.

But what really surprised Ryan was something that happened during their fight.

It was during the fourth grade when Sirius Black, one of James Potter's good friends, accidentally revealed their 'secret'.

"There's a secret passage beneath the Whomping Willow that leads to the Shrieking Shack—and the scars on the Whomping Willow's branches can... Oh, you obviously didn't know that, did you, you pathetic bat-creature?"

This sentence made Snape angry, but he also thought he had caught them.

Of course, from Ryan's perspective as a God, he thought that this matter was more like something deliberately revealed by the handsome little wizard named Sirius.

But no matter what, Snape entered the secret passage of the Whomping Willow that night and witnessed a fact there.

Remus Lupin, one of James Potter's good brothers, is actually a werewolf.

But that's not the point.
