"A worthy death!"
"The only regret is that it wasn't Harry Potter who killed Snape!"
"yes."
"He died like this. It's a good thing for him to die like this."
"When I think of Dumbledore, I wish Snape had died a more miserable death."
"But the way he died was quite unfair."
"Voldemort killed him because of a misunderstanding without blinking an eye."
"Similar to how Wormtail died."
"I think Chu Kuang wants to express the view that evil will be punished by evil."
"He gave Harry a memory in the end."
"This guy must have felt remorse before he died, or he hated Voldemort, so he wanted to help Harry."
"cut."
"Even if he helped Harry, I wouldn't change my mind about this guy."
"See what's in the memory."
…
The plot didn't keep readers waiting too long.
Chapter 33, "The Prince's Story," unfolds, and Harry enters Snape's memory.
What all readers didn’t expect was:
The first person who appeared in Snape's memory was Harry Potter's mother!
Lily!
Snape actually likes Harry's mother Lily!
Is this why Snape hated Harry Potter
From love to hate
Because he didn't get Lily
That’s not all.
This memory also reveals Snape's family.
Snape was born in an unhappy family, and his parents' long-term quarrels cast a huge shadow on him.
The feud between Snape and Harry Potter's father James also appeared in the memory fragments.
turn out to be.
Lily's choice of James was related to Snape's choice to follow Voldemort.
Because Snape followed Voldemort, the two of them went from being "childhood sweethearts" to "parting ways".
But what Snape didn't expect was:
Because he revealed the prophecy about Harry Potter to Voldemort, Voldemort actually wanted to kill Lily!
Regret and self-blame.
Snape found Dumbledore and said in a hoarse voice: "Keep her...them safe...please!"
Is this the origin of double agents
Snape chose to follow because he supported Voldemort's ideals.
at this time.
Because of Lily, Snape chose to betray Voldemort and asked Dumbledore for help.
Dumbledore stared at the man begging him:
"So what can you do for me in return, Severus?"
"Return...Return?"
Snape gaped at Dumbledore.
Harry had expected him to protest, everyone had expected Snape to protest.
However.
After a long, long time, Snape said, "Anything is fine."
pity.
Even so, Snape still failed to stop it.
Dumbledore could have succeeded, but Harry and his wife trusted the wrong person and were betrayed by James's friend Wormtail.
Lily died anyway.
Through Harry's perspective.
The memory scene returns to Dumbledore's office.
Harry heard a terrible sound, like the howling of a wounded animal.
Snape slumped in his chair, and Dumbledore stood beside him, looking down at him coldly.
After a while.
Snape looked up.
It looked like it had been in agony for over a hundred years.
"I thought... you could... protect her..."
“They trusted the wrong person, but their son survived.”
"It's over... dead..."
"Do you regret it, Severus?"
"I would rather...I would rather be the one to die..."
"But what's the point of you being like this now? If you love Lily, if you really love her, then it's clear which path you should take in the future."
Snape was in a haze of pain.
It seemed like an eternity before Dumbledore's words reached him.
Snape promised to protect Harry's son forever, but he also made his own demands:
"Okay... okay... but never... never tell anyone, Dumbledore! This is a secret between us!"
"You want me to swear that I will never tell him your true self?"
Dumbledore sighed and looked at Snape's excited and painful face: "If you insist..."
…
The past is hidden in memory.
When all those past events were revealed, Huggie's eyes seemed to be on fire as he held Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in his hands. He stared at every word on the page as if he wanted to burn the paper!
at the same time.
Countless readers were also completely stunned!
His anger had just been vented because of Snape's death, but now there were even stronger emotions brewing.
In front of the book.
Countless faces that were either angry or happy not long ago began to become confused, and something they had always believed in suddenly began to crumble.
Snape...
Is he a good person
Did we wrong him
He betrayed Voldemort for Lily, and he promised Dumbledore that he would always protect Harry Potter, but he didn't allow Dumbledore to tell anyone about it
The air was quiet.
Countless readers who were previously engaged in heated discussions about the plot now seemed to be strangled by the throat, with their hands clamped as they typed, and only the sound of their breathing became increasingly rapid.
finally.
The Harry Potter fan group that Hu Ji belongs to.
A group member asked uncertainly:
"Although Snape promised the headmaster to protect Harry, why did he kill Dumbledore?"
Swish.
Needless to say, the answer to this question is soon revealed in the following recollection.
…
Because of some mistakes he made, Dumbledore knew that he didn't have much time left.
At the same time he knew.
Malfoy joined the Death Eaters and accepted the mission from Voldemort to kill him.
But Dumbledore and Voldemort both knew it very well:
Malfoy couldn't succeed.
Voldemort just wanted to use Malfoy's failure to punish his parents who also failed in their mission.
Yes.
Dumbledore had seen through everything long ago: "Malfoy failed in his mission, and the person who will take over his mission is you, Snape."
Snape was silent.
Dumbledore has seen the future where Voldemort has taken over the college: "Snape, you once swore to me that you would do everything in your power to protect the students of Hogwarts, right?"
Snape nodded laboriously.
Dumbledore proposed his plan: "Malfoy's plot may harm innocent people, which is much more important than my life, but there is only one way to save him from Voldemort's wrath in the end."
Snape raised his eyebrows and asked sarcastically, "You want Malfoy to kill you?"
Dumbledore said, "Of course not. I want you to kill me."
"If you are not afraid of death,"
Snape said gruffly, "Why not let Draco do it?"
Dumbledore's answer was: "The child's soul has not yet fallen to that level. I cannot let his soul be destroyed because of me."
Snape roared:
"That's how far my soul has fallen, isn't it, Dumbledore? What about my soul?"
Dumbledore's reasons are:
Snape was merely helping an old man out of pain and humiliation.
…
plan!
All of this was planned by Headmaster Dumbledore, including his own death by Snape!
The facts are there.
This is the tragedy of a spy.
Snape shouldered everything and endured all the infamy in the world, but he never defended himself until his death!
although.
Becoming this executioner and killing Dumbledore, the only one who knows the truth, will bring him eternal damnation.
Is it for Lily
Or for redemption
In memory.
When Snape questioned Dumbledore at the top of his lungs: "My soul has fallen to that point, hasn't it, Dumbledore? What about my soul?"
Countless people burst into tears instantly!
It's not just the people in the book who misunderstand Snape.
How many people outside the book have not misunderstood Snape
The betrayals against Snape, all the heartfelt disgust, all the abuse and curses are still vivid in my mind!
And at this time.
shock!
regret!
pain!
despair!
It was as if all the negative emotions came to my mind at once!
The pleasure brought by Snape's death has long disappeared!
Only after a sudden awakening, readers can truly understand how much pain and helplessness Snape has endured!
Why is this so
Why do we only reveal our memories after we die
In this plan, Snape replaced Malfoy as the tragic victim!
His sacrifice is no more than Dumbledore's!
"professor!"
"Snape!"
"sorry!"
"My mentality collapsed!"
"We all misunderstood him..."
“Don’t die!”
“It’s such a worthless death!”
"You're supposed to be the hero!"
"I can't do it anymore..."
"Why is it so cruel!"
“I can’t stop crying!”
How much readers hated Snape before, how excited they were when they saw Snape being killed by Voldemort, and how heartbroken they are at this moment!
It feels like being cut by a blunt knife!
It was a pain that was twitching and cramping!
Every word between the lines of memories hurts my heart!
However.
The memories aren’t over yet!
…
Another scene.
Dumbledore revealed a shocking secret!
It turns out that the reason why Harry Potter survived the disaster was because he accidentally became Voldemort's Horcrux!
In other words.
Harry Potter is not dead.
Voldemort will never die!
This is the scene that makes Snape collapse the most:
"I spied for you, lied for you, put myself in danger for you. Everything I did was to protect Lily and his son. And now you tell me that I raised him only to slaughter him like a pig!"
This is the collapse of faith!
All of Snape's efforts seemed like a joke in the face of this truth. Dumbledore took advantage of him!
"You already want to protect that child, right?"
And it wasn't just because of Lily.
Snape didn't answer, he summoned his Patronus.
Snape's Patronus is identical to that of Harry's mother Lily.
Doe!
"It's been so long, and it's still like this?"
"forever!"
A patron saint is often related to a person's nature.
Maybe it will be influenced by some people.
Because Snape loved Lily deeply, his patronus is also a doe, representing kindness.
It was Snape's Patronus that guided Harry.
Dumbledore saw that Snape's eyes had been filled with tears since some time ago.
And at this time.
The memory has come to an end.
Only fragments remain that continue to impact the readers' hearts.
…
"You have to tell Voldemort the correct date when Harry left his aunt's house. Voldemort knows that you have a lot of information, and if you don't do this, it will arouse suspicion. However, you must deceive him. I think that will ensure Harry's safety. Try to find Mundungus Fletcher to help you. Also, Severus, if you have to participate in the tracking, then you must try not to reveal your identity and act more convincingly... After I die, I can only rely on you to deceive Voldemort. The longer the better, otherwise Hogwarts will fall into his hands."
…
"You have to remind the Order of the Phoenix to disguise themselves as best as possible, use Polyjuice Potion, and create several identical Potters. Only in this way will it work. You have to forget that I told you this, and you have to act like it was your own idea, do you understand?"
…
"Headmaster! They are setting up camp in the forest, and that mudblood..."
"Don't use that word!"
…
With flashbacks of memories.
The truth is completely revealed!
Why did Snape kill Dumbledore...
Why did Snape report Harry's whereabouts...
Why Snape became the Headmaster of Hogwarts...
Why…
He had promised Dumbledore.
He wants to protect these students.
He really did it, giving it his all, to the point where even death seemed meaningless—
Not because he was exposed.
It's just that he was misunderstood by Voldemort, and only by killing him can he truly use the Elder Wand.
This moment.
Even if their hearts were as hard as stone, no matter how much hatred they once held, people would no longer have the slightest bit of ill will towards Snape!
Quite the opposite.
The great emotion comes from the shock of the soul.
The emotions brought about by those reversals completely exploded in everyone's hearts!
No reader in any continent can read this paragraph indifferently. Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei and the Central Continent have already silently shed tears!
Yes, no matter what it was.
With this earth-shattering reversal, Snape's popularity at this moment has reached an unprecedented peak!
Except Snape was dead.
Even when he died, no one realized the truth. They were only concerned with venting the endless hatred in their hearts and were not going to stop until they pushed him into the depths of the abyss.
…
professor.
Hu Ji's eyes were completely blurred.
In a trance.
Hu Ji seemed to see again the man who was always particularly gloomy, and the woman who made him devote his whole life.
He was the first one to tell her the stories of that world, he was the one who taught her simple magic, he was the one who told her about the different life in the future, and that they were supposed to be together.
But the power of magic separated them very far.
They were sorted into completely opposing houses.
Slytherin and Gryffindor.
He didn't hear the soft sigh she let out when she learned the results of the sorting.
It was as if she didn't notice his gaze that always followed her yet dodged her.
Then, James Potter showed up.
He just wanted to hear her say that she didn't really love that guy, so he became more motivated when she said "Porter is an egomaniac."
later.
Because of a frustrated and angry "Mudblood", he and she gradually drifted apart.
He hangs out with other supporters of the Dark Lord all the time.
Because of his ideals, because of the gap they were destined to be unable to cross, even though he almost pleaded with her:
We can still be friends.
She turned and walked away, along with the man she called a "megalomaniac."
Later she died, along with that man, leaving behind only a poor child.
For that woman, he became one of the darkest men in the world, doing the most dangerous, but undoubtedly the bravest, job among wizards.
He became a true double-dealer.
He was hiding it from the most accomplished Legilimency master in the world.
He became the most untrustworthy person in the school.
He killed the most feared principal.
at the same time.
Countless times.
He was still protecting the boy, defending Hogwarts.
With the name of "Death Eater", he went to Sirius's home, the former headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, and found a letter signed "Love you, Lily" in Sirius' bedroom.
More than a decade later, such a note still brings him to tears.
He became the headmaster, and he sat in his office and yelled at Phineas Narejas not to say the word "Mudblood".
He summoned his Patronus to guide the boy named Potter to complete his mission and find the sword.
And his patron saint is the same as hers—
doe.
It has always been like this.
Always.
forever.
And when the man fell in the end, he was still trying hard not to let the blue memory he always carried with him spill out in front of Voldemort.
Huggie couldn't imagine what Harry was feeling at the moment.
Chu Kuang cleverly skipped over the psychological description of the protagonist.
As a reader, Huggie had no way of knowing whether Snape had ever thought of giving up this unattainable love.
But Hu Ji understood:
Perhaps Snape's love does not require any response except from Lily.
Even after this response disappeared, the man remained determined.
Although he is a smart man—
He wrote in beautiful handwriting on his textbooks all the little spells and tricks he invented, creating magic that has been passed down through the world.
No.
In fact, he is not smart.
Just a smart idiot.
Perhaps Harry Potter will have a different feeling when he uses "Invisible Sword" again.
Sad Half-Blood Prince.
Poor half-blood prince.
The youngest headmaster in the history of Hogwarts.
The greatest headmaster of Hogwarts since Dumbledore.
Wiped away tears.
In trance again.
Huggie finally understood the weight of Snape's last words, with tears streaming down his face:
"Look...at...me..."
This was Snape's last request in his life and the first time he made a request to Harry.
The green and black lines of sight crossed, and the description that had not attracted much attention before became clearer at this moment.
In memories.
Dumbledore said so.
"He had her eyes, the same eyes—you remember Lily's eyes."
Many people have said this.
Harry has the same eyes as his mother.
