[HP][SBSS]Somewhere In Times

Chapter 8 Part 8

"Sirius, the Warming Charm is about to wear off, do you want to eat it or not?" Remus sat at the other end of the table.

Sirius Black put his hands on the browbones, so that the old friend could not see the expression on his face. "Moony, how long has it been?"

"About an hour?" Remus didn't look at his watch, "Don't worry, I have confidence in Tonks." After repeated inquiries and confirmations, Remus Lupine concluded that his wife was the only one in the house who was not in Severus Snape's dream people who show up.Now, as someone whom Snape had complete memories of, she was in the next room explaining to Snape everything he needed to know.

"Remus, this is not the way to go, you know? I spent nearly two hours telling Snape that my presence at his house was reasonable and harmless, and another two hours persuading him to come with me to Grimmauld Place 12 No." Sirius raised his head with a serious expression, "According to the conclusion we got from the inquiry just now, Snape's dream should have happened when the Order of the Phoenix first moved to Grimmauld Place, so what he forgot is this dream and what happened here All the perceptual memories after the dream, Remus, this is only two years away, his dreams will be longer in the future, and more and more things will be forgotten, can we do it only by explaining?"

"Then what do you say?" Remus said, "In short, there is no cure now, and we can only find countermeasures for this situation."

"I think it's better to have one more procedure when filing after each operation," Kingsley said. "Have Snape sign at the end to show that he has participated in these operations, and use them when he forgets in the future." It is much more convenient to archive to illustrate the problem.”

"It's a way. I'll ask Snape for advice later." Remus pondered for a while, then nodded.

The door of the room opened, and Tonks came out, followed by a sullen Severus Snape, who silently scanned everyone in the house with no emotion in his eyes.Finally, his eyes fell on Sirius Black, he paused for a while, and finally moved his facial muscles, revealing a disgusted expression.

"How?" Remus stepped forward, putting his hand on his wife's shoulder.

"The situation is not as bad as we imagined, because it's just the forgetting of perceptual memory, he remembers the relocation of the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore's death and plans, the internal situation of the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix, and the events that happened in the past two years, but It's just a branch, the memory of the place that touched the emotion is very vague, and he has forgotten most of the details." She walked to the table and poured herself a glass of water, "Especially what happened recently: why did he remember Lost, why Sirius lived with him in Spinner's End, etc. He can't remember at all."

Snape glanced at Sirius silently, looking very ugly. "Where's Pettigrew?" he asked Remus.

"Upstairs, follow me." The werewolf bowed.

"No! Don't let him see Peter!" Sirius stood up suddenly, based on his last experience, he could almost conclude that Wormtail would not have anything good to say after meeting Snape.However, he was about to step forward, but was stopped by Tonks. "Let him go." Tonks looked at Snape who was going upstairs, turned his face and whispered to Sirius, "You should know Snape, if you don't let him see it with your own eyes, it will be difficult to gain trust."

Sirius sat down slowly, turning his head to listen to the noise upstairs.

"Sirius, there is something I think you should know." Tonks sat down across from him. "Although I am also surprised, the fact is that Snape has forgotten you the most. When I asked him about your At that time, his answer shocked me - in his memory, the last time he saw you was three years ago, when you just escaped from the hunt and returned to Grimmauld Place." Tonks's face was unprecedentedly serious , "That is to say, Sirius, Snape is selective in forgetting other people - forgetting the emotional ones, and keeping the rational ones. But for you, he has no choice, but forgets them all, just like in his It’s like you have been erased from the memory of these two and a half years. For example, he has a vague memory of the last time we ate together in Grimmauld Place, and you were there, but he only remembers other things. People present, but I don’t remember you.”

Sirius sat up straight slowly, the surprise on his face was palpable.

"I've always known the conflict between the two of you, but I didn't expect Snape to have such a deep resentment for you that whenever something happened to him about you, he would be able to mobilize his emotions to a great extent. Emotional nerves. So when the emotional memory is lost, all memories of you will disappear from his mind." Tonks said, drinking the water in the glass in one gulp.

"I didn't expect it to be like this either." Sirius said, with mixed emotions that couldn't be settled in his heart.

"It might be difficult for you to get along later," Tonks said. "You have to be extra careful."

"In fact, the situation has just improved a little bit!" Sirius suddenly became excited. He thought of everything last night, and Snape told him his inner thoughts and past. , the moment he grabbed the opponent's arm, this man who seemed to have a lot of hatred for him did not feel disgusted in his heart.

Footsteps were heard on the stairs, and Snape and Remus came down one after the other. "Sirius, it's all right now, you go back with Severus."

"Hmm... okay." Sirius looked at Snape hesitantly, but the other didn't look at him, and walked straight to the entrance.

Once back in Spinner's End, Snape locked himself inside the house.

On the first day, Sirius didn't dare to knock on the door.The next day, Sirius asked Snape through the door if he had lost his memory last night, and Snape responded by throwing a shoe against the door.

Although Sirius knew that Snape's room had a separate pantry where some bread and tins were stacked.But after Snape didn't come out of his room for five days, Sirius finally couldn't help but walked to the door of Snape's room again.

"Snape, are you still alive?" He knocked on the door.

There was no movement inside.

"I know, it's hard for you to accept this fact." Sirius said again.Indeed, Snape had lost all memories of working with him in the Order of the Phoenix, and now, all that remained in his mind were the fights and pranks at school, and the few encounters after graduation - all accompanied by yelling and jinx.

"Do you really want to just rot away in your room without saying a word?" Sirius pressed his ear to the door, and heard the sound of a book being closed inside, and then everything returned to calm.

"Everyone in the school must be looking for the principal." Sirius tried various methods, "Owls bring homework every day, and the living room can't be piled up."

There was still no sound in the room, Sirius knocked on the door again, "How about I tell a joke?" Sirius said, so in the next half an hour, he told more than a dozen jokes in a row, starting from James telling him when he was in school The first sleazy joke that Kingsley had heard from the Ministry last week followed up with a joke about Voldemort's nose.

Still to no avail.

"Oh! The Death Eaters are coming!—they're coming!" Sirius slammed on the door, imitating "I'm not kidding, it's true!" Speaking of which, he deliberately lowered his voice, "It's Bellatrix! Come out!...Ah!" He let out a strange cry, pretending to be cursed, screaming while pinching his own neck, and fell heavily on Snape's door.

But the people in the room didn't seem to hear anything.

"Okay, I can't believe you didn't open the door. Snape, I have to let you open the door today!" Sirius jumped to his feet, and the paranoia of "must have" returned to him, just like the second grader. In one confinement, he insisted on making Snape laugh because of the records on those personal files.Those light gray eyes suddenly became bright, and there was an inexplicable excitement in his heart. Sirius strode into the next room, took a stack of paper and a pen.

Since he doesn't want to talk to me, try writing. Sirius walked back to Snape's door and sat down on the floor along the wall.

Beef or pasta?

Sirius B.

After thinking for a long time, he finally wrote this short sentence. It was almost dusk, and he felt a little empty in his stomach.After writing, Sirius stuffed the paper under the door, and sat back down again, listening carefully to the movement in the room. He was sure that Snape picked up the note and read it, and heard the sound of the quill pen and the inkwell with great satisfaction.

A moment later, the note slipped back through the crack of the door, Sirius picked it up quickly, Snape's anger still seemed unabated, and from the handwriting, it seemed that Snape had used a lot of strength.

dog meat.

S. Snape

Sirius laughed, feeling confident and enthusiastic at Snape's response, he turned the paper over:

I heard that Muggles have a law that it is a crime to eat dog meat.So let's have beef tonight, can you open the door?

Sirius B.

After slipping the note under the door, Sirius went into the kitchen to warm up the beef, then walked up the stairs again, and sat in front of Snape's door and fell into a long wait.The setting sun fell from the top of the window frame to the bottom, and the orange light of changing angles shone on his side face. The shadows covered the lines left by Azkaban, making him look like he was young again.

As if centuries had passed, a note emerged from the crack of the door, and the words on it were very simple:

No.

S. Snape

While frustrated, Sirius realized that the paper wasn't the one he'd tucked in - there was no dialogue from their first round on the back, apparently Snape switched the paper, and Sirius didn't know why he did it.The only possibility he could think of was that Snape had written something on that piece of paper that didn't satisfy him during that long time, so he changed the paper and wrote a simple refusal.

Sirius was starving, and the smell from the kitchen downstairs made him even hungrier.He got up and ran into the kitchen.After a while, he was standing outside Snape's door with steaming beef.

"You smell this beef, I don't believe you are not hungry." Sirius put the plate full of beef on the ground, so that the hot air full of aroma could get into the crack of the door. "The color is attractive, the meat is soft and rotten." Sirius loudly promoted his food.Yet, like everything he'd done before, Snape ignored him.

"Bang!" Sirius kicked the plate aside, and the beef soup spilled all over the floor. "Snape, what the hell are you going to do to open the door! Alohomora!" But the opening spell didn't work, and Snape cast a more advanced protective spell on the door.

Sirius leaned against the wall in front of the door in exasperation, "You deserve to die of starvation, Snape!" he yelled into the room, sighing, and pulled out his double-sided mirror as he made his way to the stairs.

However, in the next second, he ran back to Snape's door and knocked on the door frantically, "Snape! Snape! I saw Harry!" He rained his fists on the door, making a frightening sound, " Open the door! I kid you not! Harry has appeared in the double-sided mirror!"

The door opened, and Severus Snape appeared behind it, his face pale from the lack of sunlight and excessive hunger. "How long are you going to fight, Black," he said.

"Look for yourself!" Sirius held up the mirror in front of Snape. In the mirror was half of Harry Potter's face, and the rest was a deserted jungle.

"When I knocked on the door just now, I saw a small river beside Harry. Judging from the course of the river and the rocks on both sides, this jungle should be the Forest of Dean. After I escaped from prison, I was hunted everywhere. I used to hide here for several months. " Sirius said, "It's just that this jungle is huge, I don't know..."

A knock on the door interrupted Sirius, Snape looked towards the door, then turned his head, "Drink the Polyjuice Potion quickly." He said in a low voice, the knock on the door made him temporarily forget his hatred.After confirming that Sirius had turned into Peter Pettigrew, Snape walked towards the door.

Before the door was fully opened, Bellatrix squeezed in abruptly. "I've come to bring you a message." She said coldly, her eyes swept over Sirius, "Tell him to go back to his room." She looked at Voldemort's smallest servant with contempt.

"Go ahead, if Pettigrew tells anyone, I'll break his neck," Snape said, with a flash of a smile on his face, taking his usual seat.

Sirius bent down to his cousin, showing a groveling look, and retreated step by step into the darkness behind the corner.

"Harry Potter has been to Godric's Hollow," she said. "Nagini failed to kill him, and that Mudblood Granger Disapparated with him at the last minute."

"So where is he now?" Snape asked, tilting his head.

"I don't know." Bellatrix raised her chin, "You know?"

"Even the DarkLord's most powerful general doesn't know, so how would I know?" Snape smiled, and Bellatrix snorted coldly, smugness welling up her cheeks. "Why do you think he went to Godric's Hollow? Did he find out?"

Bellatrix and Snape were two of the few Death Eaters who knew about Horcruxes, and Snape stared at Bellatrix's face, pretending to think for a while. "It's only been more than three months since Potter left, during which time he has to keep avoiding the search team and our people, and that thing is so well hidden, it's unlikely that it will be discovered so soon." Snape's tone was unhurried. . "I'm more inclined that Potter knew where Dumbledore lived when he was young, and wanted to find clues there."

Bellatrix stood up from the sofa, looked down at Snape with his chin raised, and walked around the table to the center of the hall. "You don't want to play any tricks, Snape." She spun around, nostrils fluttering, "Beef soup?"

Snape frowned and nodded.

"You make beef broth at home?" Bellatrix tilted his head, squinting at Snape.

"Occasionally." Snape's eyes were icy. "interested?"

"No need." Bellatrix immediately rebuffed, "Why don't you go to school?" she asked warily.

"I'm where I should be," Snape pretended to take a step towards the darker light inadvertently, so as to hide his unusually unhealthy complexion. "Don't worry about me."

"MyLord, I just want to remind you that no matter how you think about it, it is impossible for Harry Potter to go to Godric's Hollow just to kneel in front of his parents' grave and shed tears." Bellatrix said coldly, "It's been a few days There will be specific orders." She turned and walked to the door, pulling the handle roughly.

"Regardless of DarkLord," she said finally, "I will never trust you, Severus Snape." After leaving these words, Bellatrix slammed the door shut and left.

"Black," Snape said, just as the door was still echoing in the living room, "get ready to pack." He opened the door and saw Bellatrix's figure disappearing into the alley.

"Where are you going?" Sirius came out of the corner.

"Forest of Dean." Snape turned and closed the door, the black robes fluttering behind him as the draft blew.The frowning Slytherin collected himself and walked towards his room.

The author has something to say:

This chapter was a transitional one, Severus was a little bit overwhelmed by the loss of his memory for two years, and Sirius understood Snape because he had just realized that Snape cherished his past the night before.

So Severus forgot about that dream and after that - all the perceptual memories of the past two years, and at the same time forgot all the memories about Sirius, that is, all the memories of Sirius were perceptual memories for Severus.Everyone understands it as hatred for the present. (like the feeling Hermione felt on HP7, all memories of her disappeared from her parents mind)

Again, the dreamless potion doesn't work, because it's the cursed damage of black magic. The dreamless potion is probably a Muggle sleeping pill. It's a very common potion that only works on Snape's usual dreams. Voluntary spell-induced dreams with lapse of memory do not work.

The next two people are going to set up a small tent in the jungle... um ==
