Severus braved strong winds and walked step by step deep into the Forbidden Forest, beneath the cliffs classified as forbidden areas.

It took more than ten years for him to finally reach the bottom of the cliff.

It's been more than ten years - in these ten years, he has never hated himself for a minute or a second.

But because of Hermione's words, he could only live, with a deep longing and love for her—to live.

How ironic!

Slytherin, who always knew what he wanted, couldn't recognize his heart.

I felt guilty about Lily—in the end.

And then there is - empathy!

At the beginning, the Dark Lord failed - although he had long been shaken by his cruelty, but after all, it was the king he chose, as Voldemort's right and left hand, for a long time, he was the other party's favorite subordinate, and he learned a lot of advanced troubles from him, so until the end, he still had hope for him.

So in the end, the Dark Lord failed, Lily died, and under that double blow, his faith collapsed.

Full of confusion about the future, he transferred all his feelings and beliefs to Lily under the guidance of Dumbledore.

It was at that time that his "patron saint" changed.

What obvious "evidence"!

If he is really so "deeply loved", why is his "guardian saint" different from Lily's in the beginning?

If it was really so inseparable, why did he drift away from Lily after entering Hogwarts?

If he really can't let go, then why would he be so obsessed with black magic when he knows that Lily will be unhappy?

Maybe he understood from beginning to end that he and Lily would never become one of the way.

Severus smiled wryly at the thought of why he had left to the bottom of the cliff.

Was he really an idiot in the first place?

Do you think that since Hermione remembered seeing her once been so obsessed, she had no fear?

Before I even reacted, I had already made a choice subconsciously.

thought that as long as she gave Hermione a little "sweetness", she would never leave her.

When did he become the kind of person he used to hate the most?

Hermione is so good, even if she doesn't have herself, there are so many excellent people who will like her.

Finally, after walking for an unknown amount of time, Severus saw the white in the pile of rubble.

That's "Hermione"—

He naturally remembered everything Hermione had told him at the beginning, that "Hermione Granger" was just a shell of her "resurrection", and that she was a nine-tailed fox.

He always remembered that day in the cellar, Hermione had nine tails, and it was so beautiful!

In the past ten years, the motivation to support her own life, in addition to Hermione's request and finding Hermione's "corpse", has made her no longer leave alone at the bottom of the cliff and endure eternal loneliness.

It's more of the faint expectation in my heart-

In the past ten years, because he wants to know more about the nine-tailed fox, he has been working hard to learn Chinese, and then looking for those myths and stories about the nine-tailed fox in China.

The more I knew, the more I was upset, and the greater the expectations in my heart.

For more than a decade, Severus tried to descend the cliff countless times, and this time - finally succeeded.

Trembling forward, he hugged the little nine-tailed fox that was emitting a faint, soft white glow in his arms, and Severus left tears in his eyes.

Knowing this moment, Severus felt that his life was complete.

This time, whether "Hermione" would still admit him and love him, he would not back down because of his ridiculous inferiority.

Even if "Hermione" won't forgive him, it doesn't matter, he will spend the rest of his life begging "Hermione" for forgiveness.

Tom Riddle, the former Dark Lord Horcrux and now Headmaster Hogwarts, is standing at his desk, the Forbidden Forest in the distance of the King.

He finally became the Headmaster of Hogwarts, staying in Hogwarts, which he once considered home, even though he had been the Dark Lord.

Huh——

Main Soul - I won in the end!

Between you and me, in the end I survived and regained control of the Death Eaters, and in the end—I became the headmaster of Hogwarts and defeated Dumbledore.

And the Savior ——. Certificate who once killed you, in the name of the Savior, is messing around in a department of the Ministry of Magic that doesn't have any real power.

After all five of her pregnant women gave birth to young wizards, Hermione, who thought he was worthless, sent her to see the savior's father.

Harry Savior, who could not inherit the Black family's property from Siris, and whose Potter family's treasury had long been emptied by Dumbledore. The results are not so good-looking, and they can only live in the Ministry of Magic.

It's really—it's a good mood.

Those who went against themselves have already gotten their deserved end, so next-

Thinking of this, Tom thought again of the beautiful silver-white hair in the depths of his memory.

Tom laughed at the fact that their Potions Professor, Head of Slytherin, had suddenly and mysteriously disappeared when the portrait had just arrived.

Hermione Granger, I've finally sent him to accompany you.

What do you think? Happy?

Lily Evans followed a new student into Hogwarts Hall.

Finally arrived at the Hogwarts of her dreams, standing in this mysterious and ancient castle, the excited Lily had long forgotten the previous conflict with her sister on the platform.

also forgot his good friend, childhood sweetheart.

Naturally, he didn't notice James Potter staring at him like an idiot.

The Freshman Sorting continued, and although he was a little disappointed that Lily had been assigned to Gryffindor, Severus still had hopes for his future.

After hearing his name, Severus took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the Sorting Hat.

But this is, the anomaly protrusion.

A pillar of light suddenly descended from the top of the hall, enveloping Severus inside.

Severus Renaissance didn't know what was wrong with him, he just knew that he was a little scared, he couldn't control his body right now, and even - he was now in the air.

At the same time, the others found that above the pillar of light, a figure had been condensed from countless points of light.

A black wizard's robe indicates that he is a wizard, black hair, eyes that are closed so he can't see what it looks like, a large, straight nose, and pursed lips.

How does this mysterious figure of points of light look so much like the new growth named Severus Snape?

But the most striking thing is that the person is still holding in his arms, which is a little fox with nine tails.

Dumbledore had already stood up when the pillar of light appeared, clenching his wand tightly, carefully guarding against any unexpected eventuality.

He has always known that Hogwarts is a mysterious existence, and even as the headmaster of Hogwarts, he has a lot of things that he does not know about this mysterious school.

So in the face of this unknown, Dumbledore was careful to guard against this.

The mysterious black-robed wizard in the pillar of light slowly opened his eyes.

It was a pair of obsidian-like eyes that amazed many of the young wizards present.

Then the black-robed wizard was enveloped in a cloud of light, which turned into a small ball of light, and then merged into the eyebrows of the Severus freshman.

Oh, Merlin!

After the pillar of light vanished, Severus Rebirth fell from mid-air.

Fortunately, a certain white wizard who had been paying attention to all this reflected in time, and a "levitation charm" caught Severus and prevented him from falling and injuring himself.

Opening his eyes again, Severus never imagined that he would be "born again".

After finding the nine-tailed fox Hermione, Severus, who had no strength, passed out on the ground after carefully holding the little fox in his arms.

His body has reached its limit, and it was only because of the obsession in his heart that supported him to move forward mechanically and keep searching

And the reason why this cliff is listed as a forbidden area is not only because of its hidden height and the "forbidden demon zone", but also because of the magical storms that it will appear from time to time.

Without magic, with the fragile body of a wizard, how could he have resisted the storm of magic!

Carefully holding the little fox in his arms, Severus felt his body being torn apart by the brutal magic.

I thought it was a mortal ending, but I didn't expect that I would have a chance to be "reborn" and go back to the past.

"Min-"

Running up from the ground, he saw the little nine-tailed fox floating in mid-air, and Severus, who was back to eleven, carefully held her in his arms.

There was tenderness on his face that had never been seen before.

Seeing the soft white light emanating from the little fox, Severus's heart finally settled.

It's okay - nothing is wrong with his little fox!

He didn't even bother with Professor McGonagall's request to let him be separated, but carefully followed the fur of the little fox in his arms.

And at this moment, the little fox in his arms slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the bright eyes of the little fox in his arms, Severus silently swore in his heart - in this life, he will protect her well, only by her side.
