Chapter 552 The Past (Modified, Sincere Thanks to the Leader of the Alliance)
At this time in Hogwarts, Harry Potter was walking down the steps leading to Snape's underground classroom with a depressed look. Based on his own experience, he knew very well that if he was still in such a mood after arriving there, Snape would be in trouble. It would be easier for Nap to read his mind, but he couldn't control his thoughts. The D.A., which he had spent so long training on, behaved so badly in front of Allen's exchange students... He who had so much hope was knocked down by Zabini like a joke...
"You're late again, Potter," Snape said coldly as Harry closed the door behind him, using his wand to cast Legilimency before Harry could answer.
After a confrontation, Snape stared mockingly at Harry, who was gasping and slumped in the chair, "Look, what did I see? The savior wanted to correct the wrong ideas of his good friend Alan Harris and protect him. Students, don't let them be exposed to dark magic? Ha, it's really arrogant to try to correct the decisions of people like them with your little brain that can't even remember the mixing process of vitality tonic." Snape He said in a long, slow voice.
Harry pursed his lips, glared at Snape and retorted, "That's my privacy."
"Not to me," Snape said, his voice cold, "and not to You-Know-Who if you don't try a little harder."
"Any memory you have, he can use it as a weapon against you." Snape suddenly rushed in front of Harry. He put his hands on the armrest of the chair where Harry was sitting, lowered his body and stared into his eyes. , "If he wants to invade your mind, you won't be able to hold on for two seconds."
Seeing that Harry didn't answer, Snape straightened up and said contemptuously: "You are just like your father, lazy and conceited."
"Don't speak ill of my father." Harry stood up from his seat excitedly.
"Weak," Snape said coldly.
"I'm not weak," Harry argued passionately.
"Then prove yourself, control your emotions, and restrain your mind." Snape used Legilimency again. When he saw the scene of Harry and his godfather Sirius hugging each other during the reunion, he said with disdain, " I feel like vomiting."
Harry stepped aside angrily and glared at Snape: "I'm tired, I need to rest."
"The Dark Lord has no rest," Snape frowned and looked at Harry with disgust. "You and the Dark Lord, your two consciousnesses are mixed together. You, a disappointing and sentimental boy, will only be bitter. Complain about how unfair life is. What you may not notice is that life is inherently unfair. Your father knows that, but in fact he often creates injustice."
"My father was a great man," Harry hissed.
"Your father is a pig." Snape grabbed Harry's shoulders and threw him back into the chair. His wand had just been pointed at Harry, trying to use Legilimency, but unexpectedly he shouted angrily. Lee took the lead and used Legilimency.
Snape's anger caused by the memories caused him to relax his use of Occlumency while teaching Harry.
The scenes of Snape being bullied by James Potter and the others when he was still studying at Hogwarts were all shown in front of Harry. At first, he didn't know why his father had always been at odds with Snape and treated him with absolutely no reason. He carried out all kinds of cruel bullying, until Harry was surprised to find that his mother Lily Evans actually had a very good relationship with Snape, and it was obviously beyond a normal friendship. Lily, her mother, not only stood up to defend Snape when her father bullied him, she even pulled out her wand and asked her father to remove the spell from Snape - until Snape cursed the mudblood to her for some unknown reason. .
Harry looked at his father, James Potter, with the same disgusting expression he remembered from Draco Malfoy as he held Snape upside down in the air and left him helplessly struggling. , and then casually asked his companions: "Who wants to see me take off Snotlout's underwear?"
James' behavior successfully earned a burst of applause from the surrounding Gryffindor wizards and wizards.
But Harry would never know if James actually took off Snape's underwear. A hand grasped his neck tightly, as if it was clamped by a vise. Harry instantly exited Snape's memory and found that Snape had turned pale with anger.
Snape grabbed Harry's neck and pulled him closer, and Harry found that Snape's angry expression at this moment revealed sadness that he had never seen before: "Your lessons are over forever, get out of here Potter. "
"I..." When Harry tried to say something, Snape released his neck and pushed him away.
Harry, who was in a complicated mood, returned to the dormitory in a daze. It was not until the next day when he went to have breakfast that the newspaper delivered by an owl made him stop thinking about the memories he had seen. However, he had another problem.
The Daily Prophet published a picture of Dumbledore as a young boy and his handsome companion, laughing at a long-forgotten joke.
Dumbledore's life and lies
Our special correspondent Rita Skeeter reported that Albus Dumbledore, the principal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the greatest white wizard, was with his friend Gellert Grindelwald shortly after the death of his mother. .
Harry stared at the name for a long time - wasn't Grindelwald the European Dark Lord who was defeated by Dumbledore? Dumbledore's friend Grindelwald? He unfolded the newspaper and read it greedily.
According to reports about the confession of Bathilda Bagshot, a famous expert on the history of magic: Dumbledore imprisoned his sister because she was a squib; he had an unusually close relationship with Gellert Grindelwald, the most dangerous dark wizard in history. For the greater good, he once fantasized about overturning the "Secrecy Act" and working with Grindelwald to establish wizards' rule over Muggles. When he should be mourning his dead mother and taking care of his sister, he is busy plotting his own fight for power! The article even suggested that his biological sister Ariana might be the first person to be sacrificed "for the greater good."
Harry shook his head desperately. He had always believed in Dumbledore and believed that he was the embodiment of virtue and wisdom. This must be Rita Skeeter making it up again, but the autograph letter and some photos in Dumbledore's handwriting attached to the newspaper made him believe in the authenticity of these stories.
Harry's heart was filled with darkness. This year had been terrible! First is the resurrection of Voldemort in the Goblet of Fire, UU Reading www.uukanｓhu. net Then most people refused to believe what he had witnessed; later Dumbledore was forced to leave Hogwarts in order to take the blame for them, and the culprits of all this seemed to be except Fudge and Urim. Qi also had the participation of his good friend Allen; then he tried to correct Allen's wrong ideas and stop him from teaching black magic but failed. He could not hold on for even a second in the duel field; and then he failed. In Snape's memory, he found that his father was indeed an arrogant person, exactly as Snape had always told him...
Now, Harry had doubts about everything he had believed about Dumbledore. The fact that Dumbledore had been addicted to dark magic and was very good at it made him feel that everything was falling apart. Thinking of the newspaper article about Dumbledore, Regarding his attitude towards his squib sister and his relationship with the European Dark Lord, it is said that he never even came to the UK to cause trouble when he was at his strongest!
The more he thought about it, the more frightened and sad he became. Hearing the discussions among the young wizards around him after reading the contents of the newspaper, Harry pushed away the dishes in front of him, ignored Ron's shouts from behind, and rushed towards the castle door. He went over, threw open the gate of the castle with all his strength, and ran all the way along the paved covered bridge. Until the castle was thrown far away by him, he panted and bent over, held his knees, and stopped.
He lowered his head, and the newspaper was still in his hand, crumpled. Harry desperately crumpled the newspaper into a big ball, threw it into the black lake in front of him, and roared loudly, Venting his anger and sadness...
The big octopus in the Black Lake surfaced, throwing countless water drops onto Harry's body, hair, and face. Harry felt that his face was wet. He didn't know if it was the lake water or his own tears. He sat down helplessly. on the ground.
