Yes, the same Muggle-born, the same passionate potion lover, the same Slytherin, the same childhood sweetheart who had entered Gryffindor, the same black hair, except that he did not have such outstanding talent in spells at that time, Snape even had the illusion that he had seen himself in the past.
Perhaps it was because Leon wasn't afraid of him at all. He was really not afraid of him. From the way he chatted to his expression, he was very relaxed and natural, as if he had known him for a long time. He had forgotten how long it had been since he last felt that kind of enthusiasm.
Moreover, Snape could clearly feel Leon's closeness to him, unlike those young wizards who couldn't help but be afraid when they saw him and avoided his eyes. This was also the reason why Snape unconsciously talked to Leon a little more.
Even though he had been a Death Eater, even though his hands had been stained with blood, Snape was still a man of flesh and blood. He had his own feelings, his own likes and dislikes. He hated Harry because Harry was James 'child, and he could not help but want to help Harry because Harry was also Lily's child.
The girl who had once accompanied him but eventually parted ways with him was something that Snape could never forget. Ever since her death, Snape felt that his heart had cooled down.
However, when he saw Leon this time, Snape felt his cold heart beat again. The reason was, of course, that Leon was too similar to him.
"Perhaps I can see the future I once hoped for in that child.”This thought suddenly popped up in Snape's mind, and then he shook his head as if he found it ridiculous. In the end, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he left the Potions classroom with a complicated expression.
On the other side, Leon had already walked out of the Potions classroom and arrived at the Great Hall. The morning's classes had already made the young wizards hungry. The four academies were clearly divided into seats, and basically all the young wizards were here.
Leon, on the other hand, looked at Hermione, who was waving her hands at him, shook his head, and went to the Slytherin table to eat.
It wasn't that he didn't want to accompany Hermione, but the hostility between the little snakes and the little lions had become a tradition. Leon didn't want Hermione to be alienated by the little wizards of the same academy because of him. She was still a little girl and needed more friends.
As for himself, Leon had long been used to being alone. Whether it was in the past or now, the days of being a lone wolf had long integrated into every corner of his life.
Snape, who happened to pass by the auditorium and was about to go to his office, saw this scene, especially the scene of Leon eating alone. It made him angry, and even he didn't know where this anger came from.
However, he suppressed his anger and sighed. He shook his head and left. He knew that he couldn't help Leon because it would make others hate him even more. Leon's path should be his own.
However, after returning to his office, Snape's heart was not calm. He sat in his chair silently for a long time. Finally, he opened the drawer under his desk with his key and took out a half-cut photo. He looked at the girl on it silently.
"I met Harry. His eyes were very similar to yours, clear and charming, but his personality inherited the brashness and arrogance of the Potter family. I also met a child called Leon. He was Harry's peer, but he was very similar to me. His little female companion also entered Gryffindor.”
Unfortunately, the photo was not a magic photo that was developed with an activity potion. Lily in the still photo could not give Snape a response, but it was enough. As long as he looked at Lily's photo, Snape would be able to calm down.
A moment later, he carefully put the photo away and closed the drawer. Snape seemed to have made a decision. He walked to the corner of the office and entered the potion basement that was reserved for his own use.
First, he put away the potion Leon gave him and the venom of the Eight-eyed Giant Spider. Then, he found a large locked box and took out his wand to open it. A large amount of golden Galleons leaked out.
After taking two thousand gold coins and filling up a large bag, Snape carried the heavy burden towards the Headmaster's office. Along the way, some students saw Snape carrying the bag, but they did not dare to go forward. They just hid in the corner and watched Snape leave.
When Snape arrived at the ugly statue outside the headmaster's office, he said to the statue with a cold face,"A pile of cockroaches."
The statue opened a door to the headmaster's office, where Dumbledore was signing his documents.
"Snape, what are you doing here?”Dumbledore saw Snape and stood up at once."What do you want to drink?"
"Did Leon Chris owe you two thousand gold coins?”Snape asked coldly, throwing his bag onto the desk.
"Are you planning to pay off that child's debt?”Dumbledore looked at Snape with surprise at Snape's question and the bag that had just landed on the table with a crash.
"No, I just want to turn the debt to me.”Snape replied.
"May I know the reason?" Dumbledore asked curiously.
"There's no reason." said Snape perfunctorily.
"In that case, well, congratulations, Professor Snape, you are now Leon's debtor.”Professor Dumbledore's eyes darted around, and then he seemed to remember something as he teased Snape.
"He's just a child. I don't know why you lent him money, but if you want to pull him into your plan, I advise you not to think about it. Savior, Potter is enough.”Snape turned, leaving behind these words, and hurried away, leaving Dumbledore standing in the Headmaster's office, looking at the Galleons on the table.
"Looks like you've got another one in your world, congratulations, Snape.”
I
like the character of Professor Snape very much. I really like it. He can be said to be the most successful and complicated character in Harry Potter. Compared to others, Snape's life really gives people a shock from the soul. Perhaps some people don't understand, but for these people, it's good not to understand, but it's hard to understand. So, whether you're black or not, Snape is in my book. He would always be the second male lead.
