Hogwarts: This fairy tale is too eerie

[Date]

summer.

The trees are lush and green, and a gentle breeze caresses your face.

Severus Snape lay on his back on the grass, his eyes reflecting the shimmering river in the sunlight, feeling utterly content.

Despite the beautiful scenery, Severus immediately looked away when the girl beside him spoke:

"Does being Muggle make any difference, Severus?"

The red-haired girl asked worriedly, peering at him.

Perhaps because the sunlight was too dazzling, Severus could not see her face clearly, only her deep red hair, which burned brilliantly in the sunlight.

Severus sat up, hesitating, his dark eyes fixed intently on the girl's pale face.

After a long pause, he finally spoke, "No."

Severus's tone hardened: "No, it won't be any different. You can perform many spells, I've seen it, I've been watching you..."

He felt embarrassed and lay back down on the grass. Looking at the girl's relaxed expression because of his words, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

【This...teacher...!】

The grass is lush and green, and a gentle breeze caresses your face.

Severus gazed deeply at the red-haired girl beside him, willing to trade the rest of his life for this blissful and peaceful moment to never end.

[Professor Snape...!]

But why couldn't he see the girl's face clearly?

Severus squinted hard, but in the dazzling sunlight, the girl's features were obscured by a blur.

He felt a dampness on his chest, but he didn't want to look down.

The grass is lush and green, and a gentle breeze caresses your face.

[Professor Snape!!!]

"Snap!"

As the sound of shattering glass filled the air, Snape found himself, without realizing it, in tears.

Yes, he's just fooling himself.

Bewitched by the voice of the dark magic, they were told that as long as they offered their blood and atone for their sins, they could meet their loved ones again.

But this was just an illusion; the real Lily had long since...

On the shimmering river, Snape's aged figure was reflected. He reached out, wanting to touch the fragmented face of the phantom before him.

However, the next second, the phantom faced him and said, "You should go back, Severus."

"No...no—!!!"

"Splash!"

The illusion shattered with a crash, and Snape blinked, his eyes still blurry, as he faintly heard a joyful cry beside him.

No, he didn't want to wake up from the illusion; let him dream a little longer.

There was nothing in reality that he could look forward to...

Suppress suppressed his grief and forced his eyes open.

What came into view was a pair of emerald green eyes.

Like a gentle breeze caressing a green meadow, clear and tender, it brought him back to that beautiful summer day in his memory.

—And so, the blurry faces in the illusion came to life.

"..."

Snape slightly widened his eyes as he looked at Lily's son, who was standing very close to him.

In an instant, the previous haze vanished, and a surge of waning power rushed through his body!

His fingers trembled, his eyes were bloodshot, and his intense emotions fueled the last vestiges of his magic!

Snape gritted his teeth and said hoarsely, enunciating each word clearly:

"...shattered to pieces!!"

"Pfft!"

As if shattered by an invisible sharp knife, the thorns that were deeply rooted in his chest snapped in an instant!

Along with Snape's own blood, chunks of scarlet, viscous substance fell off!

"Bang!"

"Professor Snape?!"

Snape crashed to the ground, shoved away Harry who was trying to get close to him, struggled to pick up his fallen wand, and forced himself to heal himself.

Although exhaustion due to excessive blood loss was unavoidable, the wounds were temporarily healed, and the loss of life was stopped.

Snape looked up and met a pair of grey eyes through the twisted, eerie rose monster.

"You're awake? That's wonderful."

Saul Green mouthed to him and smiled, as if he had expected all of this.

Despite his small stature, he controlled the battle like a pillar of strength!

It seems that as long as he's around, there's nothing to worry about!

...What an unfathomable boy.

Snape sighed inwardly, his eyes clouded over.

He didn't know whether Saul sending Harry over was unintentional or deliberate.

Saul Green was shrouded in mystery, making him impossible to understand!

"Ha, that's not the reason for the Green family's education."

The "pure and weak" Green family cannot bear this blame.

at the same time.

With the blood supply cut off, the rate at which the roses and vines regenerate slows down noticeably!

"No! How could this be?!" the rose cried out mournfully, her voice plaintive and sorrowful. "It was a promise...it was a promise to give me the blood of true love! Liar! Liar—"

Before he could finish speaking...

"Pfft!"

A flash of pure white appeared.

Crimson liquid gushed out in large spurts, splashing onto the swan's aloof and noble wings.

With a thud, Red Rose's enormous head crashed to the ground, raising clouds of dust.

The crimson color flowed down its petals, revealing its original pale color.

Rustling.

The vines that had been twining around the walls withered and fell, and the faint sunlight shone in again, illuminating the gradually fading and decaying roses.

Indoors, tranquility returns!

"call!"

Several seconds later, Harry finally let out a long breath, panting heavily, his heart pounding.

"That's amazing...we actually defeated that monster!"

He shouted excitedly, but looking at the listless green eyes on the red rose, he couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Strange, why do its green eyes look so much like mine? I remember Hagrid saying that I have my mother's eyes..."

Upon hearing this...

Snape staggered to his feet, then froze, leaning against the wall like a solid iron plate.

His dark eyes darted around, and he stared at Harry from behind with a sinister look, his wand twitching restlessly in his hand.

One Oblivion Spell... no, is one enough? Maybe a few more...

We absolutely cannot let this brat discover his secret, or he'll knock Harry away first, and then jump off the Astronomy Tower!!

Snape's eyes were fixed on Harry, determined to give him a good test in Potions class after school started.

Harry: ! !

Harry shivered and looked around in confusion, feeling a sudden chill run down his spine to the top of his head.

...It must be an illusion.

the other side.

Thor paid no heed to Snape's sensitive thoughts, and stepped over to the withered rose, his shoes sinking into the flowing red sap.

[Waaaaah... Waaaaah...]

The white rose wept pitifully, large tears streaming down its countless green eyes.

[She just wanted true love... Indeed, no one in this world will love a pale white rose...]

I love you.

Thor spoke, removing his white gloves. Strands of black thread emerged from his fingertips, wrapping around the white roses.

【you......?】

The white rose looked up in bewilderment and saw the deep and sincere emotions in the eyes of the boy in front of her.

"Come with me," Thor said, a smile playing on his lips. His handsome face shone with an almost holy light in the sunlight. "You no longer need to pretend, because what I love is your pure white petals."

"We will become the most eye-catching presence in the funeral home."

Wow, so handsome...

The white rose was mesmerized, its petals tinged with crimson, and it was almost immediately immersed in Thor's tenderness.

The mimicking green eyes closed one after another, and it shyly caressed the petals, saying in a delicate voice:

Since you've put it that way, I'll reluctantly agree~ Hehe~

Sol smiled and manipulated the ink, imprinting the pen's mark on the rose.

Just then.

"Beep beep beep beep!"

The pocket watch in the pocket suddenly screamed!

【Owner! 】

Thor saw a flash of white light, accompanied by a terrifying sound like tearing silk, and the fantastical white swan was cleaved in two before his eyes.

[Be careful... Master...]

With a sorrowful expression, the white swan slowly closed its eyes, its body disintegrating into pieces of golden light, which transformed back into books and returned to the library.

The illusionary form is difficult to kill. If it suffers an incurable injury, it will return to the library to recuperate in the form of its original book.

! !

Thor's pupils contracted sharply as he saw a blonde girl with a radiant smile in the overflowing golden light.

She held a sharp, silver cleaver in her hand, engraved with intricate rose patterns.

Her blonde hair flew in the wind, her blue eyes sparkled, and her blue and white skirt billowed lightly like a cloud.

There was a dark hole in the ceiling above my head.

"Alice, I've come to find you!"

The blonde girl laughed and swung her sword at Thor without hesitation!
