Snape, the Sunshine of Hogwarts.

Chapter 211 Whose fault is it?

When Harry regained his footing, he found himself on a moving train.

There were many children on the train. They looked like new students at some school, wearing the iconic robes of wizards, and some of them were holding wands.

"This was when we first started school."

Lupin's voice came from either side of Harry, and you could tell there was a clear sense of nostalgia in his voice.

"To be precise, it's my memory of being on the train to Hogwarts when school started."

Black's voice, of course, came from beneath Harry's feet. He still looked like a black dog, and his voice was that of the male announcer on Radio Number Three.

"Look! Harry, this is your father!"

Just as Harry was curiously looking around, Black's voice made him involuntarily turn his head in that direction.

Two boys who seemed to have a good relationship were walking towards them, chatting and laughing.

"I heard that the sorting ceremony might involve us fighting a fire dragon!"

"That's definitely a lie. Adults wouldn't let an 11-year-old child who doesn't even know magic fight a fire dragon. I guess they'll make us do some low-intensity tests."

Harry spotted the boy with glasses immediately; apart from the color of his eyes, he looked almost exactly like him!
If you put Harry and him together, almost no one would doubt their father-son relationship.

At this moment, Harry's breathing became heavy. He stared blankly at his father's appearance when he was young, until the two figures passed straight through his body.

Black, of course, noticed the change in Harry's expression, which was exactly what he wanted to see.

Black learned from Lupin that Harry had grown up at his aunt's house and had a very difficult life until Severus took him away from home.

He also learned that Harry actually missed his parents very much and would often ask Lupin what kind of people they were.

Now that he's back in his memories, if Harry sees the relationship between his father and himself, his impression of him will definitely change.

In the memory, James and Black are clearly looking for a box with empty seats.

They opened several private room doors, but they were all already full of people.

Finally, when they opened the door to another private room, they found an empty one.

They sat down together and started chatting. They had only known each other for a short time, but they clearly had many common interests.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and then a girl with dark red hair and emerald green eyes like Harry opened the door and looked in.

"There's a seat here, Severus!"

At the girl's shouts, another black-haired boy entered the box. Harry recognized him immediately—it was his teacher!

After confirming that the person next to the girl was his teacher, Harry turned back to look at the girl and was taken aback. Then Lupin's words confirmed his guess.

“That’s your mother, Lily Evans, Harry.”

It was only then that Harry realized that his parents, teachers, godfather, and all those with whom he had close relationships had gathered in the train compartment!
"You knew each other before you entered Hogwarts, shouldn't you be friends?" Harry asked, puzzled.

Lupin simply gestured for him to patiently look ahead.

After Lily and Severus arrived in the box, James and Black didn't seem to pay much attention to the two newcomers.

Until he overheard a conversation between the two.

Lily was lost in sadness for some unknown reason, and Severus clearly wanted to distract her and cheer her up.

“You’d better go to Slytherin,” Severus said.

Harry knew that Slytherin was a house within Hogwarts, and that his teacher was the head of Slytherin before leaving Hogwarts.

“Slytherin?” However, this sentence caught the attention of James, who had not paid much attention to Severus and Lily.

Compared to them, although James was also thin, he clearly gave the impression that he was the kind of child who was pampered by his family from a young age.

“Who wants to go to Slytherin? I don’t want to stay there. What about you?” James asked Black, who was sitting leisurely across from him.

“My whole family is Slytherin,” Black said without smiling.

“My God,” James exclaimed, sounding quite surprised, “I thought you were a really nice person!”

Sirius grinned.

"Maybe I'll break with tradition. If you had to choose, where would you like to go?"

“'Gryffindor, where courage lies buried deep within!' Just like my father.”

Severus then let out a disdainful snort, causing James to turn and look at him.

"What, you have an opinion?"

“No,” Snape said, but he soon proved him wrong: “If you’d rather have muscles than brains.”

"So where do you want to go? Looks like you're not good at either," Blake suddenly interjected.

James laughed loudly.

Their actions made Lily straighten up, her face flushed. She looked at James with disgust, then at Sirius.

“Let’s go, Severus, let’s find another private room.”

"Oh oh oh oh..."

James and Black imitated Lily's haughty voice, and James even tripped Severus as he walked by.

"See you later, you snotty brat!" a voice shouted, and the door to the private room slammed shut.
Black stared at Harry.

"See? What kind of person was your teacher? He actually said Gryffindors were all brainless idiots, and he even wanted to get into Slytherin! You know Slytherin..."

Just as he was about to launch into a long monologue, Lupin kicked him, and only then did Black notice that Harry's face was tense and his brows were tightly furrowed.

This led Blake to subconsciously believe that he had discovered a dark side of his teacher, which was why he had that expression.

However, before Black could even change his tone and offer a few words of comfort to Harry, Harry spoke first in an unfriendly tone.

"Is this my teacher's fault? It was clearly my dad who started by mocking him!"

Black was clearly taken aback by Harry's reaction.

"How can that be called mocking him for saying he wants to go to Slytherin? Harry, do you even know what Slytherin is?"

"It's everyone's freedom to choose which college to attend, right?"

Harry simply countered with a question.

"Since Hogwarts has four houses, it means that each of these four houses has its own reason for being, regardless of whether it is good or bad."

“That’s true.” Blake still wanted to struggle a bit more.

"Even if you and the teacher both had problems regarding the academy, what happened after that? You mocked my mother, then started to physically attack her, trying to trip the teacher, and even gave him an insulting nickname at that time!"

Harry exclaimed.

"In this first meeting between you two, I see no sense of justice in either of you or my father, and I don't see what my teacher did wrong!"
