Why Snape rushed here was because he had just learned from Lord Voldemort that Bellatrix was leading a group of Death Eaters to Grimmauld Place to ambush Order of the Phoenix members.
Anxious to save them, he flew over in a hurry.
But he didn't expect the Order of the Phoenix members to be unharmed; instead, Bellatrix and the Death Eaters were all lying on the ground.
What was even more unexpected was that he saw Harry Potter, who had died five years ago, among the Order of the Phoenix members.
"You're not dead?"
Seeing Harry standing there alive, Snape's expression was both surprised and happy.
His feelings for Harry Potter were actually very complex.
On the one hand, because Harry was the son of James Potter, whom he hated the most, and resembled James in every way, seeing him was like seeing James.
On the other hand, Harry was the only orphan of Lily, the woman he loved most, and had the same eyes as Lily.
So his hatred was genuine, and his protection was something he was willing to risk his life for.
When he learned that Harry had been killed, if Dumbledore hadn't stopped him, he would have almost fought Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters to the death.
"Harry certainly isn't dead, but you, the traitor, are about to die!"
Ron immediately brandished his wand, ready to attack Snape.
However, he was stopped by Sirius next to him:
"Ron, don't be impulsive. He's not a traitor. We've been able to evade the Death Eaters' pursuit for the past few years all thanks to his help."
Although Sirius disliked Snape intensely, he was the only one in the Order of the Phoenix, besides Dumbledore, who knew Snape's undercover identity.
Dumbledore had to hold the fort at Hogwarts, and the Order of the Phoenix members' operations outside were all led and commanded by Sirius.
So he definitely needed to know Snape's true identity to coordinate actions effectively.
Previously, he was afraid that other members might accidentally expose Snape's identity, bringing danger to Snape, Lord Voldemort's only undercover agent. Now, given the special circumstances, he had no choice but to tell the truth.
"What?"
Hearing Sirius's words, not only Ron but everyone else was startled.
Only Adam's expression didn't change much.
As everyone was about to ask for details, Kretcher had already returned with the photo album and the Slytherin locket.
"Fiendfyre."
Taking the photo album and the Slytherin locket, Fiendfyre directly erupted from Adam's hand, burning the Slytherin locket on the spot, including Lord Voldemort's Horcrux hidden within it.
At the same time, he opened the photo album, glanced at Harry's parents, James and Lily, and began to cast Ninjutsu:
"Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique!"
Powerful Rinnegan erupted from his Rinnegan, and two figures gradually became clear from a blur.
In less than five seconds, James Potter and Lily Evans, who had died almost twenty years ago, were resurrected before everyone's eyes.
The two slowly opened their eyes, looking at Sirius and the others, who were all excited, with confused expressions.
Their memories stopped on the day they were killed by Lord Voldemort, followed by the chaotic moment of becoming all things. Because they had been dead longer than Harry, their reaction time was also slower now.
"Aren't we dead?"
Just like when Harry was resurrected, both of them had a clear understanding of their own deaths.
"James!"
Seeing James truly resurrected, Sirius's eyes turned red, and he immediately embraced him.
"Oh Sirius, can you tell me what on earth is going on?"
James, suddenly hugged by a much older-looking Sirius, was also full of questions.
Across from them, Snape watched Lily standing there alive, and his wand instantly dropped to the ground.
If seeing Harry resurrected was a magnitude three earthquake in his heart, then seeing Lily resurrected was definitely a magnitude twelve earthquake, shaking him to the point of losing his mind, and he rushed to Lily, hugging her tightly.
"Lily, this must be a dream, but I hope this dream never ends!"
"Um... long time no see... Severus, why do you look twenty years older?"
Lily, breathless from Snape's hug, struggled to pry open Snape's arms and looked at Snape's aged face, asking in confusion.
She and Snape had known each other before attending Hogwarts, and could be considered childhood sweethearts, sharing deep feelings.
Later, they went their separate ways due to differences in beliefs and some misunderstandings, especially after Snape became a Death Eater; she never saw him again.
However, in her impression, despite Snape having some personality issues, he was still very handsome.
Why did he look so much older now?
James and Lily were resurrected, and their appearance upon resurrection was naturally how they looked when they died, and both were only twenty-one when they died.
"I'm old."
Looking at the young and beautiful Lily, and then at himself, Snape felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart; it was heartbreaking.
However, even more heartbreaking was yet to come. James, who had roughly understood what was going on after Sirius's explanation, smiled at Snape:
"Severus, even though we're all friends, it doesn't seem right for you to keep hugging my wife, especially with me, her husband, standing right here."
While the old friends reunited, Adam was also explaining to Harry in the mental space:
"I've fulfilled your wish, and now I need to go back first.
Remember to tell them later that Lord Voldemort and his forces will attack Hogwarts tomorrow.
Also, don't let Snape go back. Lord Voldemort already suspects him, and this ambush on the Order of the Phoenix was a test for him..."
After giving his instructions, Adam ended the Dream Walking Technique without waiting for Harry's reply.
Having continuously used the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique today, especially having just resurrected two elite Wizards who had been dead for eighteen years, his consumption was also very great.
So, without waiting for the template time to expire, he had to end this Dream Walking session early to rest.
However, to prevent Harry and the others from being killed by Lord Voldemort and needing to be resurrected again when he returned tomorrow, he also told Harry the intelligence extracted from Bellatrix's soul.
It turned out that under Dumbledore's deliberate indulgence over the years, the International Confederation of Wizards had finally begun to take Lord Voldemort's threat seriously and was forming a united Wizard army, just as they did against Grindelwald back then.
Once formed, they would launch a pincer attack with Dumbledore, completely eliminating Lord Voldemort and all Death Eaters.
Lord Voldemort, knowing all this through a Death Eater undercover in the International Confederation of Wizards, intended to gather all his forces and capture Hogwarts tomorrow in one fell swoop, eliminating Dumbledore.
As long as Dumbledore, the only one who could contend with him, was eliminated, he would no longer have to worry about the scattered united Wizard army.
Because without Dumbledore's leadership, no matter how many other Wizards there were, he would no longer care.
