Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

“Since Snape wouldn’t be bothering Lily anymore, James naturally wouldn’t do anything excessive to him,” Sirius continued. “But there were still attacks between them. Like I said, you couldn’t expect James not to retaliate when Snape attacked first.”

“Alright, I think I understand,” said Harry slowly, still looking quite upset.

“Listen, Harry, we sometimes got a bit carried away, but we were only fifteen years old at the time. I’m not making excuses for myself, but fifteen is indeed an age where it’s easy to be idiot,” said Sirius. “And you can’t judge what kind of person your father was based solely on Snape’s memory. If you’re willing, I can tell you everything I know this summer. We can borrow the Pensieve from Dumbledore…”

“Of course I do!” said Harry eagerly; knowing the past of his parents was something he dreamed of.

He felt better, and Sirius was right, he should know everything in detail before making any judgments.

His father might have made mistakes, but he was also great, that was for sure.

“Let me tell you, Harry, if you still feel sad about this matter,” said Evan, “I suggest you go and apologize to Snape.”

“WHAT?!” Sirius shouted. “Evan, you want Harry to apologize to Snape?”

“Yes, I suggest Harry do so on behalf of his father. From the current situation, both of you did cause serious harm to Snape in the past, for some stupid reasons,” said Evan. “Besides, in all these years when you both disappeared, Snape has been protecting Harry…”

“He’s not as great as you’re making him out to be,” said Sirius disdainfully. “He’s just afraid of getting into trouble.”

“Perhaps, but Snape has indeed saved Harry many times in the past few years. Regardless of his intentions, that cannot be denied,” said Evan. “So, I think apologizing to him is the right thing to do. It’s not that hard. He’s still teaching Harry Occlumency, and Harry saw his memory without permission.”

“I may not be able to do it, Evan. You didn’t see how he was when I came out of the Pensieve,” said Harry, frustrated, almost choked by the fireplace ashes. “It was terrible. Forget about apologizing, he kicked me out. He said he doesn’t want to see me in his office ever again…”

“Wait, Harry, he kicked you out, what about your Occlumency?” Sirius asked with a frown.

“He told me he’d never teach me Occlumency again,” said Harry indifferently, “like that’s a big disappoint —”

“He can’t do that, I’m coming up there to have a word with Snape!” said Sirius forcefully, standing up immediately.

It seemed like he was planning to Floo to Hogwarts to find Snape. Evan and Hermione hurriedly stopped him.

Whether in the past or the present, Sirius was still reckless, and this had nothing to do with his age.

“We should talk to Dumbledore about this,” said Evan. “And I think, Harry, as long as you go over and apologize to him, Snape will definitely forgive you, and then you can tell him that on no account is he to… “

“Okay, okay!” Harry said distractedly, not wanting Sirius to just show up at Hogwarts to find Snape. “You’re right, Evan, I’ll think about it. Well, I have to go back; I think I heard some noise. It’s better not to delay too long.”

In the blink of an eye, Harry disappeared from the fireplace, and the flames returned to their normal color.

“You’re too impulsive, Sirius,” said Hermione seriously, letting go of him. “By appearing at Hogwarts now, you’re undoubtedly telling Filch that Harry is still in contact with us, giving him an excuse to catch him.”

“Snape is deliberately taking revenge. He’s deliberately bullying Harry because of what happened back then!” said Sirius angrily. “Evan, it was a stupid idea for you to ask Harry to apologize to Snape. Neither I nor James need him to do that. None of us owe Snape anything. He used to…”

“Maybe you don’t have to, but it doesn’t mean you know whether James and Lily would have this idea.”

“I do. I know James better than anyone else; he’s my best friend,” Sirius shouted. “Don

“Yes, yes, but Snape did save Harry’s life after all. It wouldn’t be excessive for him to go apologize or at least say thank you,” said Evan, getting a headache, not wanting to continue discussing this with Sirius. “And don’t forget our plan.”

In silence, Sirius stared at Evan for a moment, then he snorted.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I’m taking Kreacher out, you three, be careful.”

With that said, he left without looking back, leaving Evan and Hermione staring at each other.

Perhaps only when all the truth was revealed would Sirius choose to believe Snape.

But maybe, their mutual hatred remained instinctual.

If he knew that Snape had leaked the prophecy to Voldemort, he might hate him even more.

Once the seeds of hatred took root and germinated in the heart, they were difficult to uproot.

The following days returned to the previous calm. From that day on, Sirius and Kreacher never appeared again, nor did they see Dumbledore. There were only Evan, Hermione and Elaine in this empty old house.

It was indeed nice to be in the same room with girls all day long, but it had to be admitted that this tranquility was somewhat stifling.

There was no need to worry about meals every day; Evan had originally planned to call Dobby over for help.

But Mrs. Weasley took good care of the three of them. She didn’t stay the night because there were other things that bothered her even more.

As expected, Fred and George ran away from Hogwarts.

It wasn’t the day they helped Harry create a diversion, but it didn’t take long either.

At first, the Ministry sent their Inquisitorial Squad to deal with them, but they were clueless.

They were dealing with the troubles left by Fred and George all over the castle. They were being fooled around, but they couldn’t even see the shadow of Fred and George.

However, Fred and George’s prank activities went too far. They missed no opportunity and used almost all the inventory they had accumulated. They used the entire Hogwarts as a testing ground for Weasley’s prank products. The school was turned upside down.

The Inquisitorial Squad and Filch were not fools, especially since they had already identified their target.

Within the school, besides the Weasley twins, no one would orchestrate such elaborate pranks.

After a school-wide manhunt, they finally caught Fred and George…
