Actually, I think there's a good reason why the professor would use Forgetfulness, even if he's just deceiving himself - is it good that he doesn't know that this kind of psychic attack magic is ineffective against a guarded Opal?

Anyway, Professor, you're really not awkward...... Of course, Opal, who is in the same vein, is also awkward. Apparently he cares about the professor's attitude, saying that it would be fine as long as Riddle, but he still refuses to admit it - of course, I have no doubt that if the professor and Riddle were on opposite sides, Opal would definitely kill the professor.

PS: Don't tell me that the screaming shed incident in the original book is a so-called "historical fact" such as the fourth grade, and Snape broke up with Lily after the fifth grade exam. I'm a fanjin here, and Opal is still wearing it from the future, so everything will definitely change (don't you see that I don't even use the Horcrux setting here?). I'll try to make things as rational as possible.

King (Throne): Father.

、

Hogwarts Medical Wing, England

、

When he opened his eyes again and found that the location he was in was a special bed belonging to the Hogwarts Medical Wing, Opal, who subconsciously blocked his eyes, was actually secretly relieved.

Because she didn't know what to do with the man with whom she was related by blood—after the fact that both of them were carefully concealed was inadvertently revealed by her magical riot.

So, in fact, she is still grateful for the last "Obliviate" of that night.

Even though the spell was completely ineffective for her, who was known as the "Son of Gaia", Opal knew that Snape didn't know this, so she took advantage of the situation and fainted as if she was under the influence of the spell.

Forgotten memories were all that had happened since she woke up in the bedroom in Snape's cellar office.

Silently curled the corners of his lips, even if he didn't look in the mirror, Opal knew that what he was revealing at this moment was the gentle and peaceful "Opal" that definitely did not belong to the perception of others, with a sharp and sarcastic smile.

She had already seen the time, and she could basically guess where he would be in self-exile at this time, but ......

I want to pay attention but can't really get close, and in the end I only choose to watch and guard silently in the dark. There are many worries, but they always hesitate or even retreat because of low self-esteem at critical times...... will only entangle and regret it afterwards and then push yourself into a situation where no one can reach you, never try to relax a little, and never learn...... Forgive yourself.

This was her biological father, Severus T. Prince Snape. (Tianyin: In the Western custom of naming, the middle name of a child can be the father's name or the mother's family.) Based on Irene's feelings for Tobias Snape, as well as the professor's deep hatred for him, and the professor in my article who inherited the Prince family, plus the middle name is basically not used unless it is very formal, so it is very normal for the professor to change his father's name to an acronym, but the professor's middle name has never been verified, and this article is also broken. ）

Pitiful, respectable, hateful.

Letting go of the arm that had recovered some of his mobility after the conditioning of the potion, he blocked his eyes, and slowly opened the pigeon's blood-red eyes, which were silent and calm, as if separated by a thick layer of glass.

It's still clear, but it's cold.

After a moment's thought, she slipped her fingers into her neck. The one she had been wearing as a necklace, the silver chain that had been cast with the spell of not paying attention to me, was attached to the time return device that Riddle had given her.

Slender fingers swiped across the dial on the chronograph, and Opal knew that as long as he flicked the hands, he could use the unicorn Opal to go to the Forbidden Forest, and find the awkward Slytherin Serpent King who had developed the habit of running to the Forbidden Forest whenever he had something on his mind in the past two years, and talked about his life "well".

But she couldn't decide whether she wanted to make the trip now—after all, Snape's actions had made it clear that he didn't want anyone to know about his relationship with her.

Or, to put it another way, Snape preferred to maintain the kind of two years that they knew each other but never picked out, and that was merely a façade between student and professor, rather than accept the deeper relationship between father and daughter that was linked by blood.

Although I never expected this.

After all, the most important person to her is Riddle.

Even Harry or Draco, who were getting along well now, were sure that he would be able to kill them as soon as they stood on the opposite side of Riddle.

Because it's a matter of principle.

But thinking of this, Opal couldn't help grinding her teeth with hatred, although she could understand and even agree with Snape's actions intellectually, but emotionally she always felt unacceptable - after all, as the dignified Slytherin head of the year, although she was not a favorite flower, but even Gryffindor she could make a lot of friends, not to mention Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, at least Opal thought that her popularity was in the four major colleges, and even among professors, she could be described as "good". As for the degree of excellence...... The first place in the grade in the final exam of each school year is already very telling.

But Snape has been ignoring her! She's even his own daughter!

She didn't believe that she was in Snape's heart, that she was related by blood, and that she was not even the son of his crush, or even his godson! (Celestial: Ao, you admit you're eating Harry and Draco's vinegar.) ）

The more he thought about it, the more puffy Opal became, gritting his teeth and starting to pluck the pointer on the return device.

Anyway, Severus Snape, Miss Ben and your awkward, incompetent father are exhausted!

======================I'm the dividing line ===================== the time scene

Hogwarts: The Forbidden Forest

、

Snape was standing in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, staring at the moonlight grass that was closing its buds and going into a deep sleep because there was no moonlight.

He felt like his brain was in chaos right now, and even a very skilled Occlumency technique wouldn't help him at the moment.

When did you develop the habit of running into the Forbidden Forest when you encounter something annoying? Snape himself wasn't impressed by this, but it was an indisputable fact that in the last two years he had been running to the Forbidden Forest even if he didn't need potions materials.

And now, just now, he used "Obliviate" on his own daughter - only because he knew from her mouth that she knew that he was her father.

It was almost a subconscious spell, and the scene where Opal fainted directly afterwards, made Snape's face unusually pale even at this moment.

He admits that he has not known what to do with his daughter since he took some blood from Opal in his first school year and fell unconscious after falling from her broomstick to confirm her kinship.

He never doubted Opal's age. Because he remembers very well that when Lucius sent an invitation to the Dark Lord to him and Voti when he was still in school, Walti refused without hesitation, and then talked to him in private.

At that time, Voti had said that she hated war, and that it was clear that there would be a wizarding war, and she would never want her children to be involved in such a war. And she also said that her family had set her a marriage, and she would go back to get married as soon as she graduated.

At that time, I once asked her, what would she do if she got pregnant unexpectedly? Woti said with a smile that her family can take out the three-month-old fetus from the mother's womb through specific rituals and sacrifices, and then stop the growth time of the fetus, and then re-implant it into the mother's body within ten years when needed. She will wait until she is sure that her surroundings are safe before she allows her child to be born normally.

Nothing had happened at that time, and now that he thought about it, he had to thank Walty, who had become the head of the grade at the time, otherwise it would have been quite difficult for a half-race to continue his friendship with Lily of Gryffindor without being bullied in Slytherin at that time. The friendship with Walty can be said to be one of the few bright colors of his student years. (Tianyin: People who know that Voti is Opal don't have to worry about the unreasonable bug of "self-birth" in my article.) - Speaking of which, Opal is also the head of the grade now, should he be worthy of being Walty's child? It's really an excellent ability that has been passed down in a vein.

Snape felt that he still did not understand why Walty, who was so good at the time, chose to make friends with himself who could be described as "gloomy" and "introverted", and finally supported him with Lucius to inherit the Princes family, which was close to being cut off. Was it just because he did her a small favor on the Hogwarts Express at the beginning?

As for Opal, Snape never knew exactly how to deal with the child.

Her birth was an "accident", and he was absent for eleven years of her life.

For him, who has lost the love of his parents since he was a child, and is almost equivalent to an orphan, he has no idea how to get along with his blood daughter - so he can only pretend that he does not know everything and treat her as his own student.

That's why when she knew that she knew that she was her father, she subconsciously used the Forgetting Spell on her.

Because he chose to run away again, just like what he did after hurting Lily.

[Huh?] How did you get here? Today is not the time to harvest moonshine flowers. ]

Then, an unexpectedly and unreasonably familiar voice made Snape subconsciously turn his head: "I'm just coming over to see." ”

Under the starlight, the silver young beast that was leisurely stepping in the wind from the forest path was showing the grace he was familiar with—but it only seemed that way on the outside, and once he spoke......

[Fool who!] ]

Then, being despised by this little beast that has grown familiar with it for so many years, [the picking period of all the potions in the Forbidden Forest has not yet arrived, so you can frankly admit that you are in a bad mood so you will die if you come here to relax?!] ]

“……”

Choked speechless, Snape looked away - the unicorn's mouth had been getting worse and worse lately, and I really didn't know which bastard had taught it badly. (Celestial Voice: Professor, are you talking about yourself?) ）

[Tell me, what's going on again?] ]

Walking up to Snape, Opal tilted his head and asked knowingly, "Is that Harry, brainless, stupid lion, Potter doing something stupid that made the Slytherin Serpent King angry?] Isn't school just starting today? ]

The corners of his mouth twitched, and finally he couldn't help but soften his arc a little for a certain young beast's words: "How did I not know that you had such an opinion on the immortal savior?" ”

[He's been in trouble for me a lot in the past two years.] I'd love to see him settle me down a little bit this year, but ...... Forget it, you shouldn't have expected anything from Gryffindor......]

Anyway, Nagini complains a lot about this - after all, staring at the map every day is a lot of hard work. You must know that in the second school year, when Nagini disappeared, Opal was drinking the pick-me-up almost every day for a while.

Silently recalling the dragon incident in the first year, the spider incident in the second year, and then thinking of the house scores belonging to Gryffindor that were deducted for this reason, Snape's originally depressed and tangled mood was also relieved a little.

Speaking of the Dementor attack on the Hogwarts Express, the only thing that was affected was Opal, who had a magical riot, and even Potter, who was said by Professor McGonagall to "faint", also regained consciousness when he got off the train and appeared at the opening party.

Only Opal ......

[Well, it doesn't look like it's Potter's thing...... So, is it related to Opal? ]

The silver young beast standing beside him flicked its tail as if inadvertently, but the question asked made Snape's body, which was gradually relaxed, stiffen suddenly: "Why do you say that?" ”

[When did you come to the Forbidden Forest with something on your mind, not about Potter or about Opal?] ]

With a blink of an eye, Opal replied with an unusually innocent look, [so it's a very simple way to eliminate.] ]

“……”

Choking on again, Snape turned his head and rubbed his temples with one hand, "I'm assuming you've had a summer of leisure, so your bad gossip spirit is starting to flood again?" Can't the animals and plants in the Forbidden Forest satisfy you? ”

[It's not as interesting as your gossip.] ]

"I have not fulfilled your obligations."

Raising an eyebrow, Snape leaned back against the tree and looked at some of the silver cubs who were pretending to be cute and innocent in front of him.

[Hey!] It's not funny for you to say that! I've been your emotional trash can for so long...... Can't you satisfy my little curiosity? ]

Carefully rubbing Snape's shoulder with his horn, Opal blinked and pretended to be cute, [Big deal I'll give you my mane next time?] I've heard that those things are precious materials for you, right? ]

This little guy has been showing more and more typical Slytherin traits lately - it can't be another Opal educational masterpiece, right?

Snape wiped the black line from the back of his head without a trace, "I thought you would be more than happy to ask from that friend of yours." ”

Kick the ball in her?!

Although admitting that Snape's skill in diverting the subject was quite beautiful, Opal couldn't help but pop up a number of black lines: [Changing the subject is immoral...... Why did I come to you if I asked Opal if he was useful? It's because she can't answer herself that she wants to come to him!

The latter sentence is the point, right? Because in the eyes of this simple magical creature, he is easier to bully than another person?!

Snape couldn't help but darken his face at the thought of this.

[So, for the sake of me keeping so many secrets for you in the past, reveal a little bit?] Don't tell me it's the same stupid annoyance as her who doesn't know how to get along with father and daughter! ]

Opal casually rubbed Snape's shoulder and decided to be the first to stir up the conversation.

"What!"

Snape reacted after being startled by the Silver Cub's words, "Did she tell you she knew who her father was?" ”

He remembered talking to the unicorn one night before Halloween last year, and he had said that Opal had said that she was an orphan with an unknown father. How do you already know it now?

[Actually, it was at the end of last year.] She seems to have just found out at that time. Speaking of which, Opal once said......]

Raising an eyebrow, Opal glanced at Snape meaningfully, [Her father was a gloomy, awkward, sullen and venomous fellow. Not...... My first reaction to this adjective is you......]

“……”

Snape didn't speak, but carefully pressed the bruises that erupted in the corners of his forehead.

[Opal also said that if her background is announced, there will probably be trouble, so just pretend not to know, so it's hello, hello, hello, everyone.] And she's happy with her life now......]

Glancing at someone beside him who had begun to petrify, Opal felt that his somewhat depressed mood was finally beginning to ease - but ...... Anyway, she's just a child, and she has the right to make trouble, doesn't she?

For a moment, Snape, who was stiff all over, felt that his mind was blank even without Occlumen-Ophalt - Opal, who had known that he was his father since last year?!

[Stunned?] ]

"You should have seen the ...... on my arm last time Mark it, right? ”

Leaning back against the tree, Snape let out a breath of rare calm.

[Well, of course I remember, that mark has a very bad feeling.] And that's how you beat me up! ]

Opal says she's definitely not a very generous person - she's very vindictive!

"That's the Dark Mark mark, the Mark of the Dark Lord's subordinates, members of the Death Eaters. I'm sure you know all about that person, right? ”

[More or less know some...... But since you didn't get into that class, it means you're innocent, right? ]

After hearing these words, Opal, who had more or less guessed something, still pretended to be ignorant.

"Innocent...... Maybe. ”

As for the natural reaction of the unicorn in front of him, Snape only pursed his lower lip and suppressed self-deprecation, "However, it is always trouble. Opal She ...... already has a family that belongs to her, a circle that belongs to her. She is better suited to living in the sun. I've been absent for over a decade and don't care about being absent longer. ”

Unlike him, he owes what he is destined to lose, but he can't get anything back, so he can only survive in the shadows forever.

[……]

Opal was stunned for a moment, and turned his face to look sideways at Snape, who was looking at the starry sky at the moment, but his eyes were unexpectedly empty.

Severus Snape has always been an excessively clumsy and inferior existence in terms of feelings, he will only silently give care but never take the initiative to fight for something, and will always use what he thinks is better for the client, regardless of the adverse effects that such practice will cause.

She remembered the vague gaze she felt during her Hogwarts operations and night outings, the potions that were always offered by the owls when she needed them most, the Slytherin-style gifts of her own gifts at the relatively large festivals, the books or potions that were rather Slytherin-style wrapped in "P" and signed "P", and the answers to the letters she exchanged during the holidays, which were spicy and sarcastic, but always exhaustive......

Opal suddenly felt that the thoughts he had been struggling with before were completely unnecessary.

Forget it, you already know, don't you?

As a father, he was simply incompetent, and in fact, in Opal's opinion, he was a ...... at all

[…… Fool ......]
