[HP][SBSS]Somewhere In Times

Chapter 12 Part 12

After returning to Spider's End, Sirius remained silent.He threw his coat on the hanger, and took a gulp from the medicine bottle on the shoe cabinet——

Snape glanced at the figure standing at the door, Peter Pettigrew's image faded away, brown hair, light gray eyes - Sirius Black propped his body on the cabinet in front of the door, Snape couldn't see his expression clearly in the dim light .He dumped the contents of the package on the table, "Come get your stuff, Black," he said, without looking at him.

Sirius walked over dully, frowning, and put the things on the table into his arms one by one without saying a word.Shirt, coat, socks, shoes... His movements seemed steady, but Snape could clearly see his whitish joints.

Scarves, underwear, and the graduation photos that were riddled with holes, Sirius looked up at Snape after putting everything into his arms.

"This." Without looking at him, Snape picked up Sirius' cup from the table - the candy from Honeydukes was still in it.

Sirius stared at the glass, staring at the crystal clear sugar in it, the scene just now attacked his brain again, the veins gradually protruding from the side of his forehead, but he remained silent, like a moment of calm on the coast before the storm , he took the cup from Snape.

Then, without warning, Sirius slammed the cup against the wall like crazy.The cup shattered loudly, "crack", and Snape turned around to find that Sirius had thrown everything in his arms to the ground.

"Are you crazy?" Snape frowned.

"Am I crazy? Am I crazy?!" Sirius yelled, "Snape, which one of us is crazy?!"

"Based on the current situation, obviously, it's you." Snape said, he had never seen Sirius Black like this before, he looked at the other person's face, his usual handsome face was now distorted, moreover, the expression on it was unfamiliar to Snape The—not anger, but something else.

"I'm not like you!" Sirius said, "I never torture myself!"

"Torture?" Snape repeated Sirius' words. "I don't understand what you mean."

"You're just pretending you don't understand," Sirius said. "Do you think it's noble?"

"I never thought of using that word to describe myself."

"Then you want to be a saint?"

"That's your godson's dream."

"Then why on earth are you doing this!" Sirius said.

"Black, maybe you should notice." Snape's eyes fell on the graduation photo on the ground, and he vaguely saw his own image around the many charred faces. "Some things have no choice." He said, after many years, Snape finally let go of the humiliation and sarcasm, the first time he spoke normally with Sirius, facing the other's wide eyes and hoarse shouts, Snape lost the usual confrontational attitude . "Like today at Malfoy Manor, I had to do what the DarkLord finally ordered me to do. So there's no reason."

"No choice?!" Sirius raised his hands above his head, "Severus Snape, do you think you can live without this!"

Snape froze.

"Have you ever wondered why you gave up your memory the moment you were subjected to that damned spell of mine? Have you ever wondered!" Sirius became more and more agitated as he stepped towards Snape, who subconsciously backed away. go. "No matter how many times you are given another chance, you will choose to give up your emotional memories. Why do you do this? These memories are not insignificant to you at all, and you know it yourself! You would rather suffer and suffer in your heart than Give up magic and reason, because this is the so-called mission you choose to carry!"

Snape frowned and stared blankly at Sirius, "As I said, Black, it's not about choice."

"You think you're the only one to sit on all this? Who says Gryffindor is arrogant every day?!" Sirius approached Snape again, who leaned back against the wall as he tried to back away. "You hide your inner thoughts, your feelings and desires, Snape, you'd rather be humiliated and tortured yourself than give up on those stupid things! Have you ever thought about not living like this? Have you ever thought about it!"

The corners of Sirius' eyes moistened.

Snape froze, in his nearly 40 years of life, he heard more humiliation and cursing, orders and entrustments, never had a person been as loud as Sirius Black because of his situation.

He never thought that he would have other ways of living.

"Black, you should really look at yourself." After a long silence, Snape said, staring at a spot on the floor, the Potions Master, who had never been cornered in his life, looked unnatural. "If you want to know who's crazy."

"That's right, I should look at myself." Sirius' voice suddenly became very gentle, and Snape looked up in surprise, only to see Sirius' body getting closer. "It's been almost 30 years, and I've never seriously looked at myself." He looked at Snape in front of him. For the last time in the past 30 years, the complex emotions that were once full of unnameable emotions gradually settled, and he finally knew that he was now like every time in the past It was the same emotion as when Snape was hurt, not anger, but heartache.

Sirius reached up and grabbed Snape's wrist.

"Black!" Snape tried to break free, but there was sharp pain from the wound on his body when he moved slightly. "Let me go," he ordered.

"Come here with your jinx, Snape," Sirius said, his expression changing abruptly, eyes watching him and smiling.

"I thought you'd better explain your latest prank." Black's heartbeat was so heavy that Snape could hear it every time, he gripped his wand tightly, and before he hesitated, he had already lost the cast. The last millimeter of the jinx's reach - Black stepped forward and took him in his arms, Snape could feel puffs of hot air against the back of his neck - Black was laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Snape, who was wounded, gave up struggling and stood motionless like a stick.

"Laughing, you just wanted to cast a curse."

"Don't doubt it, I can do it now," Snape said.

"Then you'd better cast a Killing Curse," Sirius said, "so we can say goodbye to the damned world together." He put a small distance between them, but still had Snape in his arms. A pair of smiling eyes stared at the person in front of him, "But...you have to wait a moment." He said.

Before Snape could say anything, Sirius covered the other's with his own lips, and Snape subconsciously dodged backwards, ignoring the pain of the wound, trying to break free with all his strength, so much force that he broke away from Sirius for a split second He staggered two steps back, finally stood still, and pointed his wand directly at the Animagus.

"Okay, you can say your Killing Curse." Sirius said with a smile, opening his arms.

"Are you trying to humiliate me? Black." Snape gritted his teeth.

"No no no," Sirius waved his hand, "I didn't, Snape, don't get me wrong." He looked into Snape's eyes, "Didn't you see that? I was just..." He was gesturing in the air with his hands.

Snape raised his eyebrows, his wand still in the air.

"I was just now..."

Sirius was interrupted by a knock on the porch door, followed by Remus Lupine's muffled voice. "Severus, it's me."

Snape glanced at Sirius, then turned and walked towards the porch.

"It's cold outside," Remus said immediately after Snape opened the door, with Tonks trailing behind him. "The Patronus came as soon as I received the message you summoned at school." After entering the room, Remus said as he took off his coat, with an eager look on his face. "Give Harry the sword?"

"Give it." Sirius stepped forward and hugged his old friend.

"Sirius, do you have a fever?" Remus asked.

"No, I'm fine."

"You're hot," Remus said. "Are you all right?"

"Oh, this..." Sirius stole a glance at Snape, who was putting away the mess on the desk with his back turned. "I'm really fine." He looked embarrassed, and Sirius knew why he was so hot.

"Is everything going well?" Remus asked dubiously.

"It went well, but I didn't call you here today because of giving Harry a sword." Sirius changed the subject unnaturally, leading Remus and Tonks to the table in the main hall.

Remus nodded to Snape as he sat down, the dark-haired man didn't respond, he briefly recounted the events of the past two days, ignoring the events in the main Malfoy hall.

"Did you meet Voldemort when you went to Malfoy Manor?" Remus asked.

"This is what I want to discuss with you." Sirius quickly took over the conversation after seeing Snape's expression, "When we walked out of the main hall and were about to leave, he gave us a task, I mean, to Snape and Peter."

"What is it?"

"Meeting Scabior in the outskirts was a major mistake." Sirius spread his hands, "Now Voldemort thinks that Snape went to Harry alone as an unauthorized act, so he asked Snape to make a lie: tell the Order of the Phoenix that he had met Harry in Dean Forest Go too far, and forge a note from Harry, stating that Harry has important news to convey in person, and agree on a specific time and place."

"And capture the Order alive in that place on that day?" Remus interrupted Sirius.

"Correct."

"It seems he trusts you, Severus," Remus said. "This job is not easy."

Sirius wanted to refute Remus' opinion about "trust".

"I do think Voldemort thinks the Order of the Phoenix trusts Severus more," Tonks said aside. "Although he has Harry's homework as a reference for his handwriting, it's not easy to forge his note and convince us at a time like this."

"Severus, do you think Voldemort will go?"

"No," Snape replied quickly, "maybe he can see you, but he won't be there."

"Remus, I know what you think," Sirius said, "You want to pretend to be fooled, and then get ready to fight back against them that day, right?" After seeing his friend nodding, Sirius said, "I also think this is feasible, even if Voldemort If not, we can also kill the most intrusive Death Eaters under him."

"That's great," Tonks said. "They actually delivered it. It's so much more convenient than finding it ourselves."

"Se...Snape," Sirius turned his gaze to the people around him, he tried to change his words, and called him Severus with the people in the room, but after a pause, he still changed back to the familiar name, "Are you going to agree Are we still trying to mock Gryffindor's intelligence?"

"Laugh at Gryffindor's IQ," Snape said dryly.

"why?"

"Did you ever think for a second," said Snape, turning around, looking at Sirius, "that the DarkLord himself is a Slytherin?" ?”

"No. I just want to..."

"In that case, what do you think will happen after that day?"

Sirius was silent. He understood what Snape meant. If so, it would be equivalent to Snape admitting that he was a member of the Order of the Phoenix. Voldemort could not accept this betrayal.

"You underestimate him, Black. Can't you see it? There are only two outcomes in this matter. The first is that he wins, and the main members of the Order of the Phoenix are captured. The second is that the Order of the Phoenix wins, and I see For betraying the DarkLord. This action will not only hit the Order of the Phoenix, but also test my loyalty." Snape glanced at everyone in the room, "Once they are counterattacked, they will be considered my informants. So no matter what I actually Whether you betrayed him or not, it is impossible for you to take advantage of this operation backhand."

"So, the conclusion is, he wins?" Sirius said.

"But if he wins, doesn't he worry about you breaking your trust with the Order?" Tonks asked.

"Do you think it matters if Snape still has a place in the Order if all the main members of the Order are arrested?"

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Sirius stood up and walked around the table for a while, he was a little anxious, Voldemort was indeed a smart man, so they didn't dare to do it even if they wanted to. "Anyway," said Sirius, "under no circumstances should Snape tell Voldemort that he couldn't do it."

"Why?" Tonks looked up and asked, "Actually, I think if that's the case, it's better to ask Severus to drop this mission, let them go first, and live in peace."

"No," Sirius said, Voldemort's contorted face and Snape's painful whimpers recurring in his head. "Snape's mission can only succeed, not fail." He didn't look at anyone, his tone firm.

Snape looked up at Sirius, a subtle surprise mixed into his expression.

Remus and Tonks seemed to understand what Sirius meant, and they all looked at Snape in unison.

"At the moment," said Snape, who was not used to this kind of gaze, "there is only one way to go." He stood up, and the angle of his gaze reassured him slightly, "Since I have told you about the DarkLord's plan, I Also tell DarkLord your plan." He looked at the people in the room one by one, "I will tell DarkLord that you seem to have doubts about me and this plan, and are prepared for the actions of the Death Eaters."

"Let them know about our suspicion and counterattack?" Sirius asked.

Snape nodded, "Yes, I'll tell you his plan first, and then tell him yours, so that he won't be surprised even if you make preparations on the day of the operation." The double agents lowered their heads, Snape's expression frowning In the shadow of bone.

"Wouldn't it be impossible to do it by surprise?"

"This is the only way, otherwise we can only sit and wait."

"Isn't this equivalent to a fire merger at the time and place agreed upon by the two parties?" Tonks asked.

"And the Death Eaters are so powerful now that it's impossible for members of the Order of the Phoenix to defeat them," Remus said.

"So the conclusion remains the same, we can't win anyway?" Tonks was a little anxious.

"Wait," said Sirius who was standing aside suddenly, and he pressed his hands down to signal the people in the room to keep quiet.He stood there for a moment, seemingly thinking about something, and then he turned to Snape with a dazed look on his face.

"Voldemort's plan now is to use Harry Potter's forged letter to gain our trust, and then take the Order of the Phoenix by surprise," Sirius said, looking at Snape, "and when he learns from you that the Order doesn't trust you and that note, After wanting to use this plan backhand, his plan will also change accordingly." Sirius took a step forward, "And you will tell us their new plan, and we will make another plan based on his new plan ..." His hand moved back and forth between himself and Snape.

The corners of Snape's mouth turned upwards. "Congratulations, SiriusBlack, you finally gained the ability to think." He said, facing Remus and Tonks again, "The only way now is that I let the last party to update the plan is the Order of the Phoenix. But nevertheless , you won’t take too much advantage.”

"That's enough!" Sirius yelled, as if he saw the light of day, every muscle in his body was ready to move, "It's enough if we have a little more chance than them." For the first time in so many days, we could Sirius was excited to be involved with the Order of the Phoenix.

"That's the only way to go." Remus sat still on the chair calmly, looking at the wall in front of him. "This operation is of great significance, and we still have to make plans according to their plan."

"Okay, after Snape gets Voldemort's new plan, you call the members of the Order of the Phoenix for a meeting at my house." Sirius smiled and showed his white teeth, "The day has finally come."
