As expected, the two of them had been best friends even back in school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His godfather in his youth looked wild and rebellious—definitely the kind of student who wouldn't take class seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then… then Harry saw even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Flitwick told everyone to stop writing and used magic to collect the papers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only, there were so many test papers that they knocked him over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few students helped him up, and Professor Flitwick didn't mind being laughed at for the slip-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry followed behind his father as the four of them discussed the exam questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he heard the conversation between Lupin and his dad, he couldn't help but chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asking a werewolf about werewolf-related questions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father pulled out a golden Snitch, let it fly about a foot into the air, and then swiftly caught it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made Harry quite delighted—it was exactly like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except he didn't show off as much as his dad did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They sat under a beech tree, and every time the Snitch was released and caught again, it would set off a shriek from Peter Pettigrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape was already sitting on the grass, while his father tirelessly played with the golden Snitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry could tell he really enjoyed being the center of attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is so boring,\" said Sirius. \"If only tonight were a full moon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin muttered darkly from behind his book, \"We still have the Transfiguration exam. If you're so bored, you can quiz me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius snorted through his nose and said arrogantly, \"I don't need to read this rubbish. I already know it all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This version of his godfather was completely different from the Sirius Harry knew. Harry couldn't help but widen his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his father spoke. \"This'll perk you up, Padfoot. Look—guess who's over there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius turned his head. He froze like a hunting dog catching the scent of a rabbit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perfect—Snivellus,\" he said with a mischievous grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape was busy packing up his O.W.L. exam papers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Snape stepped out from the shadow of the bushes and onto the grass, Sirius and James stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin and Peter Pettigrew stayed where they were, but Lupin frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>James called out loudly, \"All right there, Snivellus?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape reacted quickly, as if he had practiced this a hundred times—he threw off his bag and reached into his robes for his wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could even raise it halfway, James had already disarmed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry froze, not understanding why it had escalated so suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next came Sirius. He smirked mockingly and, just as Snape bent down to pick up his wand, hit him with a jinx that made Snape stumble and fall in a ridiculous heap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry felt like this couldn't be real—like it was some sort of nightmare that shattered the image of his father he had held in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They kept calling Snape by that awful nickname, \"Snivellus,\" and Sirius sneered that the oil stains on Snape's parchment must've come straight from his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape clearly wasn't popular—some nearby students even laughed at the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just wait,\" Snape snarled, glaring viciously at the two of them, cursing them out under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry tried to comfort himself with the thought that maybe Snape really was an awful person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when James hit Snape with a Scouring Charm that left his lips foaming with soap bubbles, all Harry felt was a cold chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave him alone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A girl with deep red hair walked over from the lakeside, her strikingly green almond-shaped eyes wide with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, James didn't seem so vicious. \"Hello, Evans,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let him go.\" Lily Evans — Harry's mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The look of disgust she gave James pierced Harry deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did he ever do to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well,\" James said, striking a pose as if pondering something of great importance, \"he shouldn't even exist, if you know what I mean~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry was in despair—his father had actually been that kind of person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even felt that Malfoy was kinder in comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think you're funny? But you're nothing more than an arrogant, rude, bullying scumbag. Potter, let him go!\" Lily said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh~ If you go out with me, Evans, I'll let him go,\" James said with a spoiled playboy's tone, shamelessly teasing a good girl. \"Come on, say yes—if you go out with me, I swear I won't lay another finger on old Snivellus with my wand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In stark contrast was Snape, crawling pitifully toward his wand, foam still bubbling at the corners of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily didn't bother hiding her contempt for James and snapped that she'd rather go out with the giant squid than with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Snape grabbed his wand and cast a spell at James.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of light shot out, and a gash appeared on James's face, blood dripping down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>James spun around and fired a spell that left Snape dangling upside down in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough. That's enough,\" Harry growled under his breath, his fists clenched tight. Around him, laughter rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily repeatedly told him to let Snape down, but Sirius cast a Petrificus Totalus, making Snape's situation even more humiliating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't watch aymore..\" Harry was about to shut his eyes—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glint of light shimmered on the surface of the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked over—and saw a pair of vertical pupils staring back at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His whole body went cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those eyes were wrapped in layers of darkness and vanished the moment he blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's him. It's him!\" Harry's hands and feet were freezing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't understand how those eyes could appear even in Snape's memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't need help from a filthy little Mudblood like her!\" Snape's furious voice echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry snapped back to himself, just in time to see Lily break off with Snape because of that one sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily, by the way, also scolded James.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made James so furious he nearly yanked down Snape's underwear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Harry could witness that scene, he was yanked out of the Pensieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Snape—his face deathly pale and terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Had fun?\" Snape's words were like icy water drowning him. \"Enjoy yourself, Potter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-No,\" Harry stammered, struggling to get free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Snape was far too terrifying. His lips trembled as he bared his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your father was an amusing man, wasn't he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry was being shaken so hard he nearly threw up—he didn't find it amusing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Professor..\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you dare tell anyone what you saw!\" Snape roared, utterly losing control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry opened his mouth to speak, but Snape roared again, \"Get out! Get out! I never want to see you in this office again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Constellation Society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John was holding the diadem, his face as pale as a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne was nearly in tears when she saw him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"John, what's wrong?\" Her lips trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John shakily got to his feet and placed the diadem into another box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the box closed, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed Daphne, who was about to run out to get help, and said calmly, \"Don't tell anyone. Go get the Constellation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But…\" Daphne hesitated, then murmured, \"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She brought out the Constellation.
