The Cruel Yet Innocent Cleaning Charm

Thursday.

Potions Class in the afternoon.

In an empty room next to the Potions Classroom.

"Professor Evans, why did you call us over?" Ron didn't understand why Professor Evans would invite him and Neville to his family time with Harry.

"I just felt that perhaps I should share this with you." A mysterious light gleamed in Lily's eyes.

After giving Harry a deep look, she began to talk about Zacharias, "Last night Severus and I found Zacharias Smith hanging upside down in the corner."

He fainted, and we couldn't wake him up no matter what we did.

"Why did he faint?" "Ron!" Ron and Neville's words, spoken one after the other, did not attract Harry's attention.

He shook his head. "Neville, don't worry. My mother probably already knew it was me before she told this story."

Immediately, he frowned and glanced at Neville again. He thought to himself, "Why does Neville's 'Sword Mind Clarity' seem to have stopped working again?"

This shows that Mom wasn't here to interrogate her this time.

Could Zacharias's fainting spell be connected to some secret?

"I saw deep James style in the marks on that child."

"My dad's style?"

"The cruelty contains a childlike innocence, and even reveals a sense of a righteous knight fighting against evil."

He can transform simple Scourgify, creating pink, beautiful foam.

The result was that it was used to shut others up.

They stopped abruptly just as the victim was about to suffocate.

Just like an innocent and ignorant child dismembering a small animal with twigs and stones.

These are things I gradually discovered in the world after I died.

It was then that I realized that although Dark Magic is evil, it can only be used with malice.

But even ordinary spells can be imbued with deep malice.

"Is this your reason for leaving my father?" Harry suddenly asked.

Ron and Neville, standing to the side, exchanged glances, not daring to utter a word.

"I never thought about leaving him, not at the beginning."

I've just become wiser.

I now understand my past shallowness.

Severus's immersion in Dark Magic was not evil.

In that environment, Dark Magic was the most quickest way to give him power, a voice, and prevent him from being bullied.

He never succumbed to the dark side.

James used only ordinary spells.

In my previous opinion, although James led a larger group of people.

However, neither of them used Dark Magic, which clearly showed they were more discreet Severus.

But in the afterlife, detached from everything in this Afterlife, I truly understood everything.

James's ordinary spells are actually more cruel.

Severus's label of him a hypocrite was not an insult.

That was certainly true of James when he was young.

Even under these circumstances, I never considered leaving him.

It was James; he kept mentioning Severus to me.

This is someone I deliberately forgot about and never mentioned in my marriage.

While we are alive, they will only mention Sirius when he comes along.

We don't do that at other times.

But after death.

James started mentioning Severus frequently.

To speak ill of him.

I understand that this is because James hasn't gotten used to the pain of losing Sirius.

He hoped to find a sense of Sirius's existence by speaking ill of Severus.

I also raised objections.

James always says he'll change, but then he brings it up again in the end.

In the end, everything we talked about would come back to Severus.

"Oh, and he always adds at the end, 'Am I right, Sirius?'" Lily's expression relaxed for the first time as she finished speaking.

She had never said these words to anyone.

"So, in my father's eyes, Sirius is more important than you?" Harry couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise.

Then he moved a step away from Ron, who was looking very touched.

"Obviously." Lily blew on her hair in dissatisfaction.

Then she suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, don't tell Sirius about this."

If he knew how much James missed him,

He figured the moment he heard the story, he'd be pointing his wand at himself and casting an Avada.

"Definitely." "None of us will say." Ron and Neville, finally feeling they could speak, quickly replied.

Harry nodded in agreement.

"Alright.

Let's return to the Zacharias issue.

Harry, what were you thinking when you used that Scourgify?

"Back then," Harry's eyes gleamed with reminiscence, "I just thought his mouth smelled awful."

I had only one thought in mind: to clean his mouth.

Looking back now, I think there was probably also resentment towards him for providing information to "Eyes of the Future," as well as anger ignited by the insults he made to my parents.

Even as he was about to suffocate, I felt a strange sense of joy.

That kind of joy is mixed with the pleasure of revenge, enjoying the pain of others, and controlling the lives of others.

Perhaps that's why my Scourgify have taken on the style of my father, as you said, Mom.

"Oh, he provided the information?"

"What, do you have a grudge against him?" Lily breathed a sigh of relief after learning the reason and began to inquire about gossip about her son.

"No way!" Ron stepped forward. "He doesn't deserve to be Harry's enemy! He's just jealous of Harry!"

Lily glanced at Ron thoughtfully, and instantly understood, "This child probably has the same feelings for Harry as Sirius and James."

No wonder he was moved just now.

Fortunately, my son is different from his father in this respect.

"Mom, how did Zacharias faint?"

He should be awake by now.

Otherwise, even if he was unpopular, we would have known long ago. Harry, who suddenly felt goosebumps, began to ask about the reason for the conversation.

Lily nodded. "This brings us to an assessment."

I won't give you the answer yet. We went to the kitchen later.

It was discovered that Zacharias's fainting spell was related to the Golden Cup.

Dumbledore also arrived.

"Hufflepuff's choices are far too lenient," Neville had once considered visiting Hufflepuff, complained.

"Hufflepuff is actually related to the Scandinavia pantheon."

"Harry, I remember the Fenrir mentioned in your Dark Curse Charm, which also comes from this myth, right?" Because this involved a spell invented by Harry, Ron unusually acted like Ravenclaw.

"You're right." Harry affirmed Ron's words, knowing that Ron wouldn't settle down if he didn't do so.

Then he asked, "I've heard of the Targaryen name."

Many of the charms used by dragon tamers today are derived from them.

Are they really like the legends say, feeding on dragon fire and using fire dragons to cast spells?

Lily shook her head. "I don't know anything about this family."

They are from too long ago.

Why did I say it again?

However, Dumbledore seemed to know.

You can ask him during your training on Saturday.
