Chapter 154 "Disagreement"

Snape's expression and voice were different. This is completely different from Snape in Sherlock's impression with a gloomy face all day long, but like someone who has won a lot of money in his life. His eyes were no longer hazy and fierce but full of hope.

Sherlock stared at him and asked with a frown, "What's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me?" Snape laughed. "I'm good, Forrest. Thank you, thank you so much."

Things were getting weirder. Sherlock looked at Snape, and a happy, thankful smile appeared. He was getting weirded out.

"What are you thinking? Shouldn't we be thinking about how to get back now?"

"Go back?" Snape said he and Sherlock looked at each other. "Why would we go back?"

"Are you going to stay here forever?" Sherlock asked word by word.

"Why not? This is the best world for me. A world where she's still alive, and I still have a chance to save her."

Sherlock realized something, "'She'? Who? You mean Harry's mother?"

"She is single now." Snape said flatly.

In an instant, Sherlock understood what he wanted to do. He remembered what Lupin had told him before. The reason why Snape hated James so much at that time, apart from some of the reasons for the bullying, was that Harry's mother chose James instead of him.

Sherlock stared at him, "So you're here just to date her and make Harry yourself?"

Snape said, "She's not anyone's mother now."

"Do you know the consequences of doing that?" Sherlock stared, "As a professor, you should know that time cannot be played around, and neither can change the history that has happened. What we can only think about now is to find a way to return instead of staying here and taking someone else's wife."

"She's not anyone's mother or wife." Snape replied, "What history? What time? Since I can come back here, it means that fate gave me this opportunity. I want to change all this, and no one can stop me."

Sherlock looked at Snape as if he were looking at an unreasonable madman, "What are you going to do? A chance to come back? Snape, you should have seen the time travelers' records. You know what those who tried to change history ended up, and none of them ended in a good way."

"The past can no longer be changed. It's the law of the world. People should not live in the past, and time does not belong to us. All we can do is create a better future than get stuck in the past."

Snape looked at him coldly, "Of course, you say that because you can't change anything. Your mother has died, and you can't change that, so it's easy for you to say that."

Sherlock's face darkened. Snape went too far, and even if Sherlock had no feelings for the original Sherlock's mother, he was angered by his words and grabbed his collar directly.

"We'll find a way to get back. If you're the only one here, I couldn't care less how you would spend your death here. But now I'm here with you. If you do something you shouldn't do, I'll be affected as well."

"Then why did you bring me? To show some hope and never do it?"

"Did you really think I did this? You are a professor at Hogwarts. All you think is just for your own personal things, avenging Lupin and Sirius, and you would rather let Lupin turn into a werewolf in front of them and not give him the potion. Even if you have the slightest responsibility as a teacher, you have no right to do that."

"What do you know about what they did to me at school?" Snape replied coldly, "I'm not just here to get Lily back. I'm here to get revenge on them and let them know that they'll regret it."

Sherlock couldn't bear it anymore and punched Snape in the face. His sudden blow dazed Snape, and blood flowed from his nostrils. Sherlock pushed him to the ground, and Snape struggled constantly, and he couldn't match Sherlock's power.

"You really think there is a potion to cure regret?"

"Now is the time when I can get my chance."

"It will only get worse." Sherlock gritted his teeth and punched Snape again, "If you really want to make things different, then the only thing you can do now is to act nice towards them."

"You don't know anything at all."

"Yeah, I don't know anything about you all. But I know that I'm going back to that time."

Snape was beaten until his nose and tears were mixed with nosebleeds. Seeing Snape covering his head, no longer struggling and resisting, Sherlock no longer wanted to punch him. He backed off from Snap. He had used a lot of spells before, and his actions made him exhausted quickly, and his body became extremely tired.

Sherlock sat beside Snape. Snape covered his face with his hands, motionless and not saying a word.

"Okay, let's both calm down." Sherlock said.

Snape turned his head away as if he didn't want to hear him.

"I know you have your own things." Sherlock looked at the white clouds in the sky and said, "Although I don't, I can also help you. For example, I'll let you talk to Harry's mother first."

"Her name is Lily Evans," said Snape coldly.

"Alright, Lily Evans. Since you miss her so much, let's meet her first. After we meet her, we'll talk about the rest."

Snape wiped tears and blood from his face with the sleeve of his robe, extended a hand to Sherlock, and said coldly, "Give me my wand back."

"Don't ever think about it." Sherlock stood up from the ground, "I won't give it back to you until we have reached a consensus."

"Then how do I get to see her?" Snape sat up from the ground.

After hearing that Sherlock is willing to help him meet Lily first, Snape's emotions are as violent as before, and he begins to be willing to communicate. Of course, Sherlock knew that this was just for him to get his wand back. If he hadn't taken Snape's wand away in the first place, Snape would definitely be at Lily's door by now.

"I want to help you see her, but you have to listen to me." Sherlock stared at him, "Let's not think about the differences between us. According to the current situation, we are on the same rope. We have to figure out what has brought us here."

He took out the bag with the Extension Charm and poured the contents out onto the ground in front of Snape. In addition to the hundred of wands, there is a bottle of Felix Felicis that Slughorn had given him earlier, a Sorcerer's Stone fragment from Flamel, a few potions of sadness, Galleons, and several books.

Watching Sherlock show him all his things, Snape also took out a bag with the Extension Charm. He did not pour directly like Sherlock, but one by one, carefully taking out everything inside. Soon, countless potion bottles were laid out in front of Snape.

His face was expressionless, but the way Sherlock's punch bruised him, he couldn't put on his usual cold face.

"Do you want me to explain it to you one by one?"

Sherlock looked at the potions and waved his hand, "No need, just need to tell me if there is any Polyjuice Potion you prepared in advance."

Snape glanced up at him and took out a potion from the pile of potions.

"This, put a hair in it, and you can use it."

"Do you remember where you are now?" Sherlock asked.

Snape narrowed his eyes but reluctantly said the name of the place, "A street called Spinner's End, and I didn't leave the whole summer in sixth grade. So Lily should be there by now."

"Okay." Sherlock held out a hand to Snape, "Our first stop here is to go there."

Snape didn't get the kindness that Sherlock offered him and got up from the ground with a cold face. Sherlock didn't care about this either. He shrugged and pointed at Snape with his wand. All the dirt on his body disappeared, and his whole body became refreshed.

Because this time is a time that Sherlock is not experienced in Apparition, there is no way for them to directly use Apparition to reach their destination. Snape might, but Sherlock certainly wouldn't let him use any wand.

In the British wizarding world, there is a fourth means of travel besides Floo powder, Apparition, and Portkey. Sherlock stretched out his wand and held it straight to the side, like a Muggle calling for a taxi.

It didn't take long for a purple three-story bus to appear on the field, heading towards Sherlock and Snape at a very fast speed.
