4 Privet Road,

Standing in the messy bedroom, Harry was hurriedly packing.

In the room, all kinds of messy items are scattered here and there:

Hedwig's strawberry poop; half-eaten apple cores; magic books littered with robes;

There are also various covers of transfiguration learning materials, and the content is actually some colorful cartoons for practicing craftsmanship.

Of course, there are several guides to picking up girls that Ron gave them, such as:

"Twelve Magic Weapons for Fascinating Witches", "Ask "Are You Here" if you don't come up, the opening remarks a smart man would say", "How to chase someone else's girlfriend thirteen styles"...

Harry hid these secrets, as well as the thick notes specially made, in the middle of the suitcase.

He looked around, picked up the newspaper on the table, and read it carefully.

The photos of the newspaper headlines are also very eye-catching:

William held up the Dark Lord's wand.

Harry may be the happy man for this news.

He remembered Ollivander telling him the first time he went to a wand shop:

He and Voldemort's wands are twin wands, both from the tail feathers of Phoenix Fox.

Harry had been feeling very uncomfortable, but now, Voldemort's wand had been ruined by William.

In his opinion:

William... forever... not accepting refutation!

So these days, about this report, Harry has read it several times.

But reading the newspaper, there is no way to watch the battle on the spot, it is exciting.

Ron also wrote to him yesterday, boasting:

"People are at the scene, just got off the broom."

Although he knew Ron was bragging, Harry was a little jealous of his luck.

After all, even if the Burrow is not on the scene, the Burrow is so close that it can be observed remotely with a telescope.

Sure enough, Christmas shouldn't be back!

Harry really felt miscalculated.

The main purpose of his return was not to celebrate Christmas with the Dursleys, but to ask his aunt about Snape and his mother.

Looking for mom's sister, asking about mom's relationship with another man... that sounds really weird.

But Harry thinks Aunt Petunia must know the truth.

Good idea, bad result.

On the first day back, he asked this question and took out a picture of Snape.

After seeing the photo, Aunt Petunia denied it directly, saying she didn't know it.

She was also furious, as if she had eaten a gun.

At night, Aunt Petunia even overcooked the rice, which was a rare occurrence.

Even Uncle Vernon's suit had a burnt edge.

Dudley's game console was also thrown into the trash.

Harry's hard work, copying homework, was also placed in the washing machine and mixed thoroughly.

In the days that followed, Aunt Petunia was also smitten, completely ignoring Harry and treating him as a passerby.

Seeing this, even a fool like Dudley didn't believe it, they didn't know each other.

She knows, but she doesn't say it!

This made Harry suddenly think about it.

Snape and Lily had known each other since childhood, so he and Penny were probably friends too.

But when it comes to Snape, she's out of control.

Could it be... Aunt Petunia had a crush on Snape?

Or, the two used to be lovers, but after breaking up, they became angry with shame?

But looking at Snape, he didn't seem like the kind that was popular with girls when he was a child.

Could it be that he pursued both Lily and Penny?

Good you Snape, sisters also want to start at the same time!

Isn't this William behavior? !

(William: Meow meow?)

Harry became angry, remembered the words that have been passed down in the Hogwarts classic, and then cursed:

"Don't be too Stark!"

After Harry had packed his bags, he stopped thinking about it.

He pressed his cheek against the cold window pane, watching the movement outside.

The hot air on the window was shone brightly by the orange-yellow street lamps outside.

In this unnatural light, his face was bloodless, and his jet-black hair was disheveled, somewhat like a ghost.

Since Auntie couldn't get the answer here, he went to the place where he could find the answer.

That's right, after weighing it up, Harry was about to leave the house.

After observing for a while, I couldn't go any further.

Harry put everything in a ring with a traceless stretch spell bought at Akali's mystery shop.

He took out the invisibility cloak again, put it on his body, and walked downstairs on tiptoe.

Passing by Dudley's room, Harry saw through the crack of the door that he was playing a computer game.

But because he died several times in a row, he screamed in anger and smashed the computer screen with one punch.

Harry laughed and walked slowly down the stairs again to the living room where Dursley and Penny were sitting on the sofa watching the news.

But it's not domestic news. The UK has been in a mess recently. Prime Minister Major must find some international news to divert his attention.

At this time, the BBC is using the shades of the underworld to display war pictures.

It turns out that Israel and Palestine are fighting again.

All kinds of missiles, bombing in turns, and the Iron Curtain defense system, it looks like they are setting off fireworks.

Uncle Vernon began to point out the country again, and he spat on the Jewish guy for a while before turning to look at his wife.

Penny was wearing a simple light orange coat and was knitting a sweater, but she was really stuck.

Uncle frowned, got up and paced up and down the room.

He was also a little curious as to who Snape was.

Unlike Harry, he didn't think his wife had anything to do with Snape.

He knew better than anyone that Penny hated wizards.

In fact, it's not that they never thought about accepting wizards.

Back then, after he proposed to Penny, she confessed to him that her sister was a witch.

Although Vernon was shocked, he assured Penny that he would not alienate her because of this, and that he would accept her sister.

But that first meeting with Lily and her boyfriend, James Potter, ruined everything.

The two parted ways, as he and Penny stormed out of the restaurant while Lily burst into tears.

Since then, the two families have never seen each other again.

Until that night, he found the little baby with a lightning scar on his forehead at the door.

Harry stopped abruptly because he heard his uncle speak.

Vernon stared at Penny and asked carefully, "Honey, you really don't know that Snape?"

Penny didn't want to hide it from her husband, he hesitated for a long time, looked around to make sure that Harry was not there, and finally nodded:

"I know him. Just looking at the picture, I recognized him at a glance, the terrible boy he was back then.

He used to live in Spider End Lane near my house and had a good relationship with my sister. "

Penny simply repeated the previous events and whispered:

"My sister went with him and only goes home every year for the holidays. I always thought they were lovers."

Penny pondered for a moment and continued:

"After Lily's fifth-grade summer, the horrible boy came to the house and Lily had an argument with him.

I never saw him again. "

Harry groaned in his heart, remembering that memory:

Snape was suspended by his father James by magic, Lily came forward, and Snape called his mother a mudblood.

Because of this incident, the two people completely broke up?

Harry eavesdropped for a while, making sure that Snape did know his mother before leaving the house.

He quietly walked towards a small house on Magnolia Crescent Street.

He needs to go to the last place.

But Harry didn't have any Muggle money either.

Although there are cannons, the knight bus cannot be used. That one is too dangerous, it's easy to reveal the location.

If it was before, Harry might have done this without thinking about the consequences.

But the lessons of the past two years have been tragic.

Or because of the recklessness and the harm brought about, Harry finally grew up a lot.

He needed a safer, more private way to travel.

The first choice would be Apparition, but Harry wouldn't, he needed to find an Order of the Phoenix.

He knew that there were members of the Order of the Phoenix who were secretly protecting him.

Even after several inquiries, Harry basically determined the wizard who would take care of him and the time to change shifts.

This is also the reason why Harry is out now, because of so many members of the Order of the Phoenix, only one will agree to his request.

And at this point, that person is on duty...if not AWOL.

Harry walked towards the gravel-covered wall, and in the corner, he saw a wizard, dozing off.

It was a short, shaggy wizard with two short looped legs and long, unkempt **** hair.

"Hello, Mundungus." Harry took off his invisibility cloak and shook his hand.

"I'm not sleeping... Mrs. Figg, I'm just... closing my eyes."

Mundungus hurriedly wiped his saliva, only to breathe a sigh of relief when he realized it was Harry.

"Oh, hello, Harry," Mundungus pretended to be very brisk, but not at all like it, "did something happen?"

"I need to get out of here."

Harry's words surprised Mundungus. "What? Are you leaving?"

"Going to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, or the Burrow, or Hogwarts? But it's not school time yet..."

"No, I'm going to Kirkworth," Harry said.

"What are you doing there?"

Harry decided to tell a little lie: "I'm going to Professor Snape, who lives in Spider End Alley in Kirkworth."

"No, Harry." Mundungus shook his head:

"Snape forbade anyone to go to his house and if found out he would kill me."

"Really?" Harry said coldly: "Don't forget, you stole a lot of valuables from Black's old house while Sirius was away."

He threatened slowly, "If I told Sirius this, what do you think he would do?"

"I didn't..." Mundungus stammered, his face slowly turning the color of a pig's liver.

"Hurry up and take me there." Harry said softly.

"I'll leave soon, and then you take me to the Burrow, and no one will find out.

I'm not going to tell Sirius about your stealing. If he finds out, I'll have a nice word for you too.

I am his godson, and he listens to me the most. "

Mundungus nodded hesitantly, persuaded.

Harry smiled contentedly.

After being attacked by a Dementor last summer, he still resented Mundungus' irresponsibility.

Now I love this quality.

Grabbing Mundungus' arm, the two disappeared into the air.

...

...

Kirkworth,

is the Midlands of England.

It sits on the edge of a filthy river, littered with industrial waste near its banks.

It has basically been abandoned, and many residents have moved.

In addition to the worsening environment, towns have gone bankrupt because of the decline of traditional industries.

It's a lot like Detroit, the world's largest bankrupt city, the auto city.

Harry suddenly remembered that he had been here before.

Six years ago, Uncle Vernon moved the family in to avoid the Hogwarts letter.

Harry walked towards a certain block as he remembered.

In a dilapidated house, he left Mundungus at the door while he got in through the window.

This is the grandfather's and grandmother's house, which has been completely abandoned since their death.

Harry walked towards the second floor and stopped in front of a room with a sign that said Lily.

Harry pushed open the door, expecting to see traces, but there was nothing inside.

But the ground was surprisingly clean, there was not much dust, and there were no cobwebs on the walls.

Harry was sure that the Dursleys couldn't have come to clean, so...

Standing at the window, he looked out and could see a dirty river.

The river twists and turns, weeds and **** piles up on both sides.

A gigantic chimney, the relic of an abandoned mill, stood high, eerie and ominous.

That's Spider End Alley.

After hesitating for a long time, Harry took out the Firebolt, rode on it quietly, and flew towards the other side.

There was no sound around, only the black water whimpered, and there was no sign of life.

In the alley were rows of dilapidated brick houses, and the windows on the houses looked dark and lifeless in the night.

After Harry landed, he wandered in confusion, and he didn't know what he was looking for.

Several of the streetlights were broken, and as he strolled, he was sometimes illuminated by lights and sometimes shrouded in darkness.

Past the battered, planked windows, the footsteps on the cobblestones echoed.

The houses seem to have been uninhabited for a long time.

Harry had a hard time believing that Snape, the professor, lived here alone.

Have you been guarding the little house that has been abandoned for a long time?

Harry didn't know where the professor lived, he kept walking along the road and soon came to the last house.

He stopped.

Only this house, dimly lit through the windows.

He stood at the door, looking up at the wooden door, panting slightly, smelling the smell of the sewage river blown over by the evening wind.

Harry raised his hand, wanting to knock on the door, but stopped, just stiff in the air.

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, revealing a yellowish face~lightnovelpub.net~ with long greasy hair draped on either side, and a pair of black eyes in the middle.

Harry discovered for the first time that Professor Snape's eyes were so dark and bright, like black pearls in the night sky.

But Snape's expression was so frightened that it was a little distorted.

He grabbed Harry's arm, dragged him into the room, and growled:

"Why are you here?! Did you know he's there too?!

Are you looking for death? ! "

...
