Chapter 169: Old Grievances at Hogwarts (10)

Because of this incident, Phyllis did not continue to wander around the Forbidden Forest, but returned to her residence at Hogwarts Castle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

After instructing Amy not to let anyone disturb her, Phyllis locked herself in her bedroom and began to gather her thoughts.

She had known that Harry's parents, Lily and James, as well as Lupin, Sirius, and Snape were all classmates in the same class, and she had heard that these boys liked Lily at the time, but she didn't know how. Now Snape is a stubborn guy who doesn't want to make oil and salt, she has tried to say that this person has an unusually strong guard against the outside world, and Phyllis really can't figure out why this person has such a cautious or even sensitive mentality, it seems that he is not a professor at Hogwarts, but a spy in the enemy camp. What role Snape played in this reshuffle war in the British wizarding world was something that Phyllis was very curious about and very concerned about. Headmaster Dumbledore had a special trust in him, although he had been embarrassed by the Headmaster's beloved Lion House, and at the same time, there were considerable rumors that Snape was a Death Eater and that he was inextricably linked to Voldemort.

This person is a key node, and he is likely to affect the development of the whole situation, for such a person, Phyllis must be ready, ready to cooperate and ready to fight: to cooperate, you need to know what he really needs, and what he can get back from him, so that you can give the least and get the most; If you want to fight, you have to be clear about his weaknesses, understand his Achilles heel, and then kill him with one blow, this kind of person who can endure can't give him a second chance at all.

After graduating from Hogwarts, it is difficult to find out what Snape has been through, and according to some information Phyllis received, it seems that he already had this gloomy and cold personality at that time. If you really want to find his weaknesses, you have to go back in time, preferably back to his student days, when he was still a young child, and it was the period of character development, if you can study his student days, you can definitely dig up a lot of useful things.

As for how to get information about Snape's student days, it was up to Phyllis to figure it out. Lupin's side couldn't count on it, this gentle man had a sober and intelligent mind, and it was not easy to get some information from him. Sirius, in comparison, is a good choice, he is in a terrible situation right now, extremely bad, and it looks like he hasn't eaten enough in a long time, in which case I believe he will choose to tell himself some "insignificant" information in exchange for some food supplies. This is an instinctive reaction of people, and people's consciousness is affected by instinct, but when your body resists something, many seemingly reasonable reasons will automatically pop up in your mind, such as after working hard for several days, can't you sleep lazily on the weekend? In fact, sleeping lazily has nothing to do with the hard work before, can it be said that people can still save a few days of sleep and pay it back in a lump sum? It's just a lazy instinct, and similarly, when you lose weight, you feel a lot of things are delicious, and you feel hungry easily, and it's largely a psychological reaction, not a physiological reaction. Sirius can live under the siege of Dementors for more than a decade, but that doesn't mean that he can completely avoid this subconscious reaction, just like some people can withstand torture, but with some sugar-coated cannonballs can make him speak.

Phyllis felt that the entry point she chose was quite good, even if Sirius had a good relationship with Lily, she was the lover of his good friend after all, and he would never inquire about everything, especially about the matter between her and some female friends, it is likely that Sirius did not know. It's easy to do if you don't know, so it's up to Phyllis to make it up herself, and you can make it up whatever she wants.

It's just that Sirius is here for what the hell, he really didn't come to hunt down Harry? Although he can't take all his words, it must also be taken into account, if he didn't come to hunt down Harry, then it means that he is not loyal to Voldemort, so it can be inferred that the verdict twelve years ago was actually a wrongful case, not because his betrayal caused Harry's parents to be killed by Voldemort, if the right time comes, maybe he can explain it to Lupin and get back together.

Thinking of this, Phyllis wanted to laugh, a thin inference can actually come to such a result, how many coincidences does it take to cause such a result?

But soon, Phyllis couldn't laugh anymore, what if that really happened? She had told Lupin that she had been interested in that history because of Sirius, but she had told Sirius that it was because of her mother, so she wanted to know something about Lily. If they finally get back together, won't their lies be exposed?

"In that case, it's bad." Phyllis muttered softly, no, I have to find a way to bring this lie back, although the possibility is very small, but if this incident really happens, the impact on herself will be too great.

……

As one of the two new professors at Hogwarts this year, Professor Lupin performed much better than Hagrid, attracting a lot of praise after only one class, and the students were very satisfied with his teaching, and many of the exquisite Ravenclaws did not care whether Professor Lupin's clothes were too sloppy, but were fascinated by the wisdom and knowledge he displayed.

On this day, after Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff had the last Defence Against the Dark Arts class of the afternoon, everyone went to the auditorium for dinner, and on the way, William and Leah "happened" to walk together again, William put his hands behind his head and sighed: "Professor Lupin is indeed a reliable teacher, much better than the previous Defence Against the Dark Arts teachers, and there are many really useful skills to learn from him." ”

Leah frowned and said, "Say what you want to say directly, you don't need to beat around the bush so much." ”

After being scolded by Lia for no reason, William touched his nose and seemed to have another meaning: "In comparison, Professor Kate's teaching is a little too boring, of course, no one can teach the history of magic course, how interesting is it, they are all young people full of hormonal restlessness, who would be interested in delving into the knowledge and wisdom in the pile of old papers?" ”

Leah stood up and asked, "That's what you think?" Her tone was cold, like a block of ice in the cold of winter.

William smiled and said, "Of course not, but many students do think so...... Including one of us. ”

Leah was stunned for a moment, and it took a few seconds to react, and said, "You mean ......" Liya's face was full of surprise, and there was also a hint of anger.

William still had a smile on his face and said, "It's good that you know, I actually heard from my friend, it may not be accurate, don't take it too seriously." ”

Leah looked into his eyes and said solemnly; "Why are you telling me this?"

William grinned and said, "We're friends, aren't we?" Of course, friends should help each other, okay, I still have something to do, let's go first. He walked briskly and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Friend? Leah sneered, turned and walked towards Professor Kate's office, and when she was halfway there, she stopped, it seemed a little inappropriate, a little too presumptuous. Sitting on the stairs and thinking about it for a while, Lia decided to press this matter first, she needed more information to support her.

Leah didn't go to Professor Kate's office, and even if she did, she couldn't find anyone, while Phyllis was trekking through the Forbidden Forest. It's been three days since she last met Sirius, and on the appointed day, Phyllis went into the Forbidden Forest after a little preparation for her afternoon class.

Coming to the bottom of that cliff, Sirius was already waiting there, and Phyllis smiled and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting." ”

Sirius didn't appreciate Phyllis's politeness, and he said directly, "You want to know about Lily?"

Phyllis said, "Don't be in such a hurry, we have a lot of time, we can sit down and talk slowly." She put down her backpack, took out a large plastic sheet with small purple flowers from it, spread it on the floor, and began to put all kinds of food she had brought, cakes, candies, pumpkin pies...... There was also a bottle of champagne and two glasses.

Sirius looked at Phyllis busy and said with a gloomy face, "What are you doing here?" ”

Phyllis was a little unhappy, and said: "What are you talking about, I think that you have been hiding in the Forbidden Forest for the past few days, and it is estimated that you have not eaten any serious meals, so you have prepared such a big table, what do you say I am doing?" ”

Sirius was obviously not very good at arguing, especially with a woman, he opened his mouth and didn't say a word, so he had to sit there sulking, although Phyllis did mean something, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

It took more than ten minutes for Phyllis to arrange everything, she opened the bottle of champagne, poured it into two glasses, placed one of them in front of Sirius, raised her glass and said, "Cheers!" ”

Sirius ignored her, just looking at the grass on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.

Phyllis raised her glass in embarrassment, and when she saw Sirius like this, she sighed and said; "What do you want, how can you act like a child, are you afraid that I will be poisoned, then I can't drink it to you?" As she spoke, she took a big sip of wine, perhaps because she was in too much of a hurry, and Phyllis coughed violently.

Maybe it was too much choking, Phyllis coughed for a long time, her face turned red, as if she was in pain, seeing this, Sirius asked hesitantly; "You...... Are you okay? ”

Phyllis waved her hand and said; "It's okay, it's just a little bit unaccustomed to drinking, I don't usually drink much, it's okay."

After making a fuss, Sirius slowly relaxed, perhaps feeling that this woman was not as cunning as she had thought, and that she was just a somewhat stubborn Ravenclaw. Sirius ate and told Phyllis about their days at Hogwarts, their adventures together, their punishment together, and, of course, the teasing of Snape. Phyllis also listened with relish, did she still interject to ask a few words.

Through this rather harmonious conversation, Phyllis also learns a little about Sirius's personality, and unlike the gentle and kind Lupin, Sirius doesn't realize that there is something wrong with what he did as a student, including when describing their teasing of Snape, he still maintains a nonchalant lightheartedness, which is noticeably different from Lupin's depression when he talks about it.

This is a very flamboyant person, Phyllis summed up in her heart, and he is also a person who can be easily taken advantage of.

Phyllis said casually, "Hearing you say that, Snape also liked Lily at that time. ”

"Who doesn't like that?" Sirius's face was a little red, and most of the special bottle of champagne fell into his stomach, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Lily is beautiful and has a good personality, anyone like this, but Snape's liking is a little special." ”

Phyllis asked cautiously; "What's so special?"

Sirius burped and said, "Obsession, Snape has an obsessive love for Lily, which is completely different from us people. ”

Snape in love with Lily? No wonder, Phyllis remembered some things before, so why did he still embarrass Harry, could it be because of love and hate? Lily died for Harry, wouldn't Lily not die if it weren't for this kid? Snape probably had this thought in mind, so he was particularly disgusted with Harry. But Harry was Lily's child after all, and he had inherited Lily's beautiful eyes, and although Snape hated Harry, he didn't like to let him die, and if he did, Lily's sacrifice would be in vain.

This makes sense, but is Snape's love for Lily really that strong? So much so that more than ten years have passed, and he still can't let go of his heart.

Phyllis gained a lot from this chat with Sirius, and many of the previous questions have been explained, although there are not many places involving Snape in Sirius's story, but it is enough, according to these stories, Phyllis can already sketch Snape's true image.

It's also interesting to note that in Sirius's mouth, Snape is still an out-and-out bastard, a mischievous Death Eater, and his love for Lily is a definition to it. That said, Sirius didn't trust Snape, which was very different from Dumbledore, what was going on? Was it because of a misunderstanding or did Sirius have some special information?
