Chapter 15: Snape at Age
"Look at me, you have eyes a lot like your mother's."
Looking at the pair of green eyes that looked like Lily's, Snape slowly closed his eyes.
After living in misery for so many years, he can finally go to see Lily.
He walked quietly into the darkness. The road was very dark, and a star glowing white was flying towards him.
"Severus..."
The past flashed through his mind, and Snape watched everything going backwards. He thought he would see Lily at the cross station, but instead he heard a noisy sound in his ears.
"Mia is a bad elf. Mia failed to protect her master. Mia will punish herself severely."
"That's enough, Mia, go buy me some food, I'm hungry."
Snape opened his eyes to see a house-elf wearing a ridiculous pink bow punishing himself by banging his head against a wall, while a teenage girl nearby ordered him to leave.
He's not dead?
Snape felt that the scene around him was particularly unfamiliar.
"Sev, you're awake!"
Seeing Snape wake up, Jiang Li walked towards him happily and asked with concern: "How do you feel?"
Looking at the strange girl in front of him, Snape immediately became alert and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you!"
As soon as he spoke, he was stunned.
He then realized that his voice was like that of a child, tender and clear. He looked down and found that his thin body was exactly the same as before.
A strange memory suddenly popped into his mind, and as he saw what happened, he immediately realized that he was back in his childhood, and he was not dreaming.
But...something unexpected happened.
He had no memory of this woman before.
Snape frowned, looked at Jiang Li with scrutiny and said, "Who are you? Why are you next to me? What is your purpose?"
He is not the simple Snape in my memory. How could there be a good person for no reason?
Looking at Snape's drastically changed temperament, Jiang Li also realized that something was wrong.
It is impossible for a person to change so much. Could it be that an alien soul has taken over Snape's body?
She watched Snape's eyes gradually turn cold and he began to count with his fingers.
To Jiang Li's surprise, the soul in front of him was actually Snape, but it was Snape thirty-one years later.
Jiang Li's mind was a little confused.
How could there be two souls of the same person in the same period of time?
According to the law of conservation of energy, if this soul is called back from Snape thirty-one years later, it can only be said that the world consciousness is correcting its trajectory. It is also possible that this is actually Snape from another dimension, and the two Snape souls have the same origin, so the sacrificial formation summoned this soul into the body.
Snape looked at the girl warily. Seeing that she was gritting her teeth and pulling her hair in anger, as if she was not normal, his eyes became even colder.
Jiang Li took a long time to calm down. Seeing Snape standing on the bed and staring at him with vigilant eyes, he asked, "Are you hungry? I'll ask Mia to prepare something for you."
"You haven't told me yet, what is your purpose?"
Snape stared at Jiang Li and spoke slowly, trying to intimidate Jiang Li with his aura.
As a result, the next second, my stomach started to growl and I instantly lost my energy.
Jiang Li laughed in silence, smoothed his messy hair and said, "Let's eat first. I'm hungry. I'll tell you what happened. I have no ill will towards you."
Snape still didn't believe her.
Although the girl in front of him acted very sincerely, he could feel a terrifying magic from her, which was not much worse than Voldemort in his heyday. It was obvious that she was a very powerful witch.
Jiang Li knew that Snape in front of him would not be able to trust him for the time being, so he did not do anything more. Instead, he walked out of the room and let him digest the matter slowly.
"Mia, prepare something delicious. I'm starving."
Jiang Li slumped on the sofa and called Xia affectionately, asking her to cook.
Looking at Mia busy in the kitchen, Jiang Li was extremely glad that he asked Abraxas for a house-elf.
She now had no strength left and was so hungry that she wanted to gnaw on the table legs, let alone take the initiative to cook.
After Mia brought the food to the table, Jiang Li immediately acted like a hungry tiger pouncing on its food, and only slowed down his eating speed when he felt full in his stomach.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Jiang Li turned his head and saw Snape walked out of the room expressionlessly, walked to the dining table and stared at him.
"Now you can tell me what happened."
Jiang Li sighed, used a soundproofing spell, and told others about his meeting with young Snape and seeing his future.
"I thought I could improve your life, but I ended up hurting you. A wizard asked me for directions that day, and I told him the location of the tavern. It turned out that your father was also in that tavern, and he was making a deal with those people to sell you.
I only found out later that you were captured by them. When I arrived at the scene, you were already dead. I used a forbidden formation to try to summon your soul back to your body, but something went wrong and I brought you back at the age of 38."
Having said this, Jiang Li's eyes dimmed and he looked a little listless.
"I still haven't gotten Sev back."
Although the words were a bit confusing, Snape still understood what she meant.
In the other's eyes, he and the seven-year-old Snape were different individuals.
"Is it worth it just for this?" He looked at Jiang Li in confusion.
If something went wrong, the girl would die too.
"It doesn't matter whether it's worth it or not." Jiang Li said without thinking too much, "Just do it if you want to. I never have any regrets."
Snape looked at her scrutinizingly, trying to detect any trace of disguise in her expression.
Jiang Li blinked his sore eyes, smiled at Snape and said, "But since you are already here, just live a good life here. You may have some regrets, but it's not too late now."
Hearing this, Snape thought of Lily.
He hadn't met Lily yet, that stupid Potter hadn't appeared, and he hadn't said those unforgivable words.
There was a light in Snape's eyes, and his heart, which was as stagnant as water, was suddenly stirred. He was so excited that he wanted to find Lily immediately.
Jiang Li had almost finished eating and wanted to go to his room to rest. He looked at Snape and said, "My use of the formation to revive you has some side effects. You can't leave me too far within a year, otherwise you will lose your magic power."
Hearing this, Snape frowned and looked at Jiang Li and asked, "Why would there be such a side effect?"
"Because my blood flows in your body." Jiang Li yawned and said, "The formation was drawn with my blood, so my blood also entered your body. You can't control the magic power that belongs to me, but you can when I get close to me, because I allow you to use my magic power.
After a year, I will bleed you and take my blood."
"Can't I take your blood now?" said Snape.
He doesn't like the presence of other people's things in his body.
"No, you are too weak now. You will die if I bleed you directly. Besides, my magic power can repair your fragile soul. Your soul and body are not particularly compatible now, so it is better to be cautious."
Jiang Li felt like he couldn't hold on any longer, so he waved his hands and said, "No, I'm so sleepy. Let's talk later. I'm going to sleep now."
Halfway through the walk, Jiang Li suddenly remembered something, looked at Snape who seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "When I was looking for you, I went to see your mother. She seemed to be very worried about you. Remember to go back and tell her."
Snape did not reply.
Because in the extra memory, he heard the conversation in which Irene agreed to Tobias selling her.
