[HP] Read "No Peace"

Chapter 11,] she read,

[Sirius steps into the fireplace and quickly disappears into the green flames.Harry sat down at the table and began writing to Snape.

"I don't even know what to write to Professor Snape." Harry said to Albus, "I can only ask one question every day: How are you? Are you eating well? Are you sleeping well?"]

Sirius' serious face suddenly disappeared, and Draco almost laughed out loud.

【"Then how will he answer you?" Albus asked with a smile.

"He will answer 'Without you, I can't eat or sleep'." Harry said blankly, "This is what we negotiated. If he doesn't say that, it proves that he has been replaced." 】

Lucius coughed from choking on his saliva, and Snape stared blankly at him.

【During the speech, Harry had already written the letterhead and sent it to Sirius' owl.

"Honestly, Harry. I'd like to know how Severus will reply to this letter after being replaced."

"I'd like to know, actually," said Harry. 】

Harry and Hermione looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile when they thought of something.

[The puzzle that interested the two of them was solved in the afternoon.

"Professor Snape didn't reply." Harry's green eyes were shining like freshly washed leaves after the rain. "Usually his reply will arrive at noon. I think I should go to Snape Manor to have a look."

"I'll go with you," said Albus.

They left a note for Sirius, and then Apparated to Snape Manor, as curious as visiting a ferocious animal in a cage (much more dangerous of course). 】

Sirius finally couldn't help it, covered his belly and laughed out loud.

[When Harry and Albus appeared together in front of Snape—the replaced one—the normally gloomy Potions professor couldn't help showing... an almost panicked expression. 】

The real Snape froze.Dumbledore glanced at him, seeming... sympathetic?

As for the black wizards, as long as they know that the plot has nothing to do with them, they can watch the excitement in their leisure time.

["Albus." He nodded curtly to Albus, then glanced out of the corner of his eye at Harry, who was trying to hold back a smile (there's no chance that Snape would feel like a snake at the sight of Potter many), he seems to be trying to pretend to be "the original Snape", but perhaps he hasn't recovered from the huge shock (being partnered with Harry Potter is obviously the biggest one), making his expression weird and Complicated, of course, Albuquerque, Severus could console himself with: it's the relief of seeing a long-running mate (he probably really wanted to curse that word) finally come back (he's certainly not relieved at all) . 】

Skeeter rolled under the table laughing again.Both Lucius and Draco tried their best to look like they were used to.

【"Professor." Harry said cheerfully, "Did you receive my letter? I didn't receive a reply at noon, so I came to visit and hope I didn't disturb you."

Snape's expression froze quickly—maybe he was simulating an awkward situation with his partner—and then said to Harry in a cold voice (which was nothing like Snape's deep and sexy voice before) : "I'm cooking a pot of potion. Guess you're not stupid enough to think that I'm going to put down the potion and reply to you—meaningless nonsense?"]

Hermione couldn't hold it anymore, blushed, and laughed with Sirius beside her.

Bellatrix also seemed to feel a rare "pleasure" and grinned at Snape.The latter is completely stiff.

[Harry finally broke out into a fit of unbearable laughter - Albus felt that this conversation probably completely offset Harry's shock when he was replaced, but it was followed by Severus' shock .

"Harry Potter!" he roared. "Two hundred points from Gryffindor—what's going on, Albus?"

"Severus." Albus smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Maybe we should have a good talk - about this interesting world."

Half an hour later, in the private living room of Snape Manor, Albus, Harry and Snape were each sitting on a comfortable sofa. Contrary to the calm expressions of Albus and Harry, Snape was weak Lying half-lying, his sallow face paled (mostly from hearing that he was indeed engaged to Harry Potter), he looked desperately in need of an uplifting spell or potion.

"I can't take it," he said softly, "with a Potter..." He looked at Harry, who returned him with a "me too" look.

"I think there is one more thing to pay attention to now." Albus laughed enough in his heart and said.

"Voldemort."

"The Dark Lord."

Harry and Snape spoke at the same time, then glanced at each other with disgust, and turned their eyes away together again.

"In this world, Voldemort doesn't seem to mind being called by his first name," said Albus, "and speaking of the Dark Lord—there are two."]

Grindelwald seemed to let out a vague hum, but it didn't attract everyone's attention.

[Snape's expression became even more desperate.

"So, what do we—what do I need to do?"

"Protect yourself," said Albus, "since Voldemort and Grindelwald are likely to come into this world too."

Snape was silent for a moment.

"What if I refuse?"

Harry looked at Snape in astonishment.

"I wish I had the right to refuse, Albus." Snape said softly, "I remember that I was already dead, under Nagini's snake kiss, so I can ask, continue my death, not in the Are you disturbed?"

"I hope I can give you a reason to live." Albus said after silence, "No matter how painful it is..."

"Yes, no matter what kind of pain, people can live, but Albus, I'm not you." Snape stood up eagerly, "I use a reason to support my life for 17 years - 17 years, Albus Think, I don't know how I survived."

He gave Harry a complicated look, his lips trembling.

"I know it's not easy for you," Albus said softly.

"Just being alive," Snape said finally. 】

Hermione read on as fast as she could, trying not to notice any changes in the looks of the others.

["We live at Sirius' house." Albus said to Snape, "write to us if you need anything."

Snape responded with noncommittal indifference, watching Harry and Albus disappear into the fireplace.

Albus, who returned to NO.12 Grimmauld Place, did not expect to get a surprise.

"Fox!"

The phoenix that was parked on the back of the sofa in the living room turned its head, and then the big golden-red bird rushed towards Albus with the momentum of a cannonball, making Albus wonder if she really intended to peck through his chest.

"Oh, Fox, I guess you're getting fat again?" he smiled at her, getting a hard peck from the pet.

Albus hissed, bringing his hand to his mouth and blowing, his heart filled with the joy of reunion after a long absence.The phoenix spread out its beautiful golden and red wings, and held Albus' head in its arms like a hug—and Albus's neatly combed hair was messed up like this, so when he came out of the phoenix's embrace Harry chuckled softly when he looked up.

"Fox, hello," Harry said to Fox.

Staring at Harry, the Phoenix let out a soft and melodious cry.

Albus found a new owl stand for Fox ("I'll get you a sycamore stand when I have time"), and sat down with Harry on the sofa in the living room again.

"Where did Fox go before, Professor? I really don't think I've seen her."

"Fawkes is the original one," said Albus, "the phoenix is ​​the most amazing pet—she can feel where my soul is, and I'm sure that she traveled through time and space, following the traces I left— — I guess you know, wizards leave traces wherever they go — come after me.”

Albus looked warmly at Fox, who was busy nibbling on a piece of strawberry cake.

"I think she must be exhausted, maybe I should get her some herring later, she likes that." Hearing Albus's gentle voice name her favorite food made Fawkes temporarily stop eating, she looked up. At first, he stared at Albus with eyes full of love for a while, and after getting a warm smile from the old wizard, he bowed his head to enjoy the dinner contentedly.

At this moment, the fire turned green, and Sirius' spinning figure appeared in the fireplace.

"It's done." Sirius said, "Mad-Eye is still so stubborn, but Kingsley is very reasonable. I will go to Oros to train tomorrow—Phoenix!?"

Sirius' cry of surprise made Harry's eyes widen.

"What's the matter? This is Fawkes - don't you recognize her? She's Professor Dumbledore's pet."

Sirius turned to Albus with a surprised expression.

"She's yours—that is, you have a phoenix pet?"

Albus couldn't help being surprised too.

"So that Dumbledore didn't have a phoenix?—she's Fawkes, my old friend."

Phoenix uttered softly to the surprised handsome man, and the soft voice brought Sirius back to his sanity.

"No—no, the former Professor Dumbledore didn't have a phoenix, and of course it's possible that I didn't know about it." Sirius said, "If he didn't, it's also a different history?"

"After my duel with Grindelwald, I visited an old wizard in Australia because I was curious about a powerful spell he cast," said Albus. "I guess the original Dumbledore didn't Going to Australia - and missing Fox I met on that trip - was a fantastic trip and I regret that I missed it here."

"Anyway, a phoenix." Sirius said, "this is a rare pet."

A smile appeared on the old man's face.

"I'm even happier that she's here, seeing old friends is always something to celebrate no matter what."

Albus felt his shoulders sink slightly, and the phoenix's surprisingly hot feathers pressed against his face.Then Fox's beautiful head was attached to his head docilely - in the short time travel process, it was not just Albus, Harry and Snape who lost something, Fox's following made Albus feel To her panic and sorrow.

"My child." Albus gently stroked the phoenix's feathers, "I will never leave you again."

Harry and Sirius watched Albus and Fawkes embrace for a moment in silence before Harry asked, "So what do we do now, wait?"

"That's all," said Albus. "Actually, I might have wished they had come sooner."

"Oh." Sirius smiled, and he said to Albus, "I can't wait to fight Voldemort too."

"That's not okay," Harry said to Sirius, "I should actually go to Voldemort - oh, Voldemort should be happy this time, he's got his nose again, hopefully he won't mess with it this time lost."】

This time, despite Voldemort's contorted face and Bellatrix's scowling glare at Harry, at least eight people slapped the table and laughed.

【Albus and Sirius laughed together, he looked deeply at Harry, that determined, calm boy, who had grown up to be a warrior who could fight alone. 】
