In this Hogwarts without a savior

Chapter 431
"Is this the position you gave?"

Lily clenched her wand tightly, as if she was not satisfied with Snape's broad answer.

Snape said indifferently.

"So I said three questions. Telling you that I will not leave the UK is already my greatest sincerity. Otherwise, what do you think? Let me just throw myself into the trap like this?"

Lily just stared at him quietly, as if she had no more rebuttals to Snape's words, but was waiting for him to ask a second question.

Snape only had one face in the flames, but Jon looked at the expressionless face, and for some reason, he always felt that he must be twisting his fingers nervously and uneasily.

"I really want to know, do you know what James did to me? And when did you get together?"

Jon secretly covered his face aside.

Snape's two questions made all his previous ambiguity in vain. A normal person can figure it out if he really hates and resents Lily. , and will not care about these issues.

Lily didn't know if she had thought of this, but when Snape uttered the question, the expression on her face remained unchanged, she just stared indifferently at the human face made of green flames.

"You still care about this? That's why I said, you have never listened to others, and you have never changed. Of course I know what James did to you, so my impression of him at that time was always the same. Very bad, no matter how much he tried to attract my attention and pursue me, I never thought about what kind of future I would have with him."

When Snape heard this, he gritted his teeth subconsciously, and said in a voice that pretended to be calm.

"Then why later..."

"What makes him stronger than you is that he knows how to change himself. No one can make mistakes, but if you make a mistake, you must know how to change it, especially after it is pointed out by others. James changed it, Not only because he knew that I didn't like it, but because he recognized that what he did before was wrong, he sincerely apologized, and was willing to correct it, and it was precisely because of this that I accepted him at that time. Is my answer clear enough?"

Snape lowered his head, and the flames formed by the floo powder became somewhat blurred, making it impossible to see the expression on his face at this moment.

But what Jon can be sure of is that the Hogwarts vice-principal, who was once under one person and above ten thousand people in the UK, will definitely not have a very good-looking expression.

No one would show a good face when his sweetheart exposed the gap between him and his enemy so decisively and directly.

After a long time, he raised his head again. There was no special emotion on that face, but he just completed the second transaction that he promised.

"If you want to find me, I suggest you go faster, because my previous master hasn't discovered my importance yet, if you wait for him to find out, you won't be the only ones who want to find me. "

After Lily heard the news, her face darkened.

"Is this a piece of information?"

Snape held his head up.

"Why not? How long do you think you guys can keep my escape from prison hidden? As long as this story gets out, you are not the only ones who want to find me. You know in advance what kind of competitors you will have. , isn't this a very important thing?"

Lily took a deep breath, she didn't dwell on this matter for long, but continued to ask.

"What about the third question?"

Snape didn't stay silent either, he asked a question that sounded so simple.

"We're destined to live forever, aren't we?"

Lily didn't answer right away, she just stared at those eyes and asked indifferently.

"What do you think?"

This had already given the answer, and Snape didn't need to ask any more questions.

He closed his eyes, then opened them again two seconds later.

"Come on then."

He seemed to stand up from the chair, and did not give Lily the location information of the third transaction as agreed.

But the picture presented by the Floo fan is constantly expanding, not only Snape's face, but also several things around him and the background.

Then the flame was suddenly extinguished, and the whole room fell silent, leaving only the dust in the fireplace still rippling in the air.

Jon consciously stood up from his chair. He knew that the time to eat melons was over, and he was about to start doing business.

"It's disgusting. He actually broke his promise. He agreed on three questions and three location information, but the last one just left without saying anything!"

He said that on purpose, he just wanted to test how Lily's mood is now, and whether he needs to ease it up.

Lily just went back to the fireplace.

"He has not breached the contract, the last message has been given to us, I know where he is now."

Jon blinked and followed Lily's pace. This time they disappeared into the fire of the fireplace again, and when they reappeared, they had already arrived at a magic joke shop in a bustling magic street.

Diagon Alley, the busiest street in the British wizarding world, even in the era when Voldemort ruled Britain, there was no way to change its status among wizards.

After Jon and Lily walked out of the fireplace, they discovered that this was the store's storage room, and the fireplace used to receive it was hidden behind a pile of wooden barrels and wooden boxes.

This is the place where Dumbledore entrusted Lily before she left, where she can obtain a legal identity in England.

"If we waste time here, then go to Snape again, won't he definitely run away?"

Jon asked quietly.

Lily did not disturb the shop assistants and shop owners who were busy outside, but searched in this storage room, and soon opened a hidden compartment under a small phoenix imprint, in which were hidden several simple parchment.

"As he himself said, it is impossible for him to throw himself into the trap after escaping from prison. Since he dared to reveal his location to us so safely, it means that he is not afraid of us looking for it later."

Lily handed one of the parchments to Jon, which was a legal and traceable half-blood wizard identity information in the British wizarding world.

Dumbledore was very well prepared, and Jon even wondered if he had already planned to let him come to England with Lily, and even the identity information they got now was a pair of mother and child.

Jon memorized the contents of the parchment, and then asked.

"So we have to prepare for a protracted war?"

"He told us that his former master would soon discover his importance and come to him, so it's best not to expose our next actions, otherwise we will only have more troubles in the future."

These words of hers completely reassured Jon. Lily's state is at least not overwhelmed by hatred. She has always been very clear about what she wants to do, and at the same time, she has a clear judgment on how to do it.

In this way, Jon doesn't have to interfere with her decision. As long as Dumbledore said, in an absolutely dangerous situation, he can save Lily. At other times, he can just follow An Xin as a person. The people who eat melons act as thugs at most.

After the magic joke shop got the legal certificate that they could operate in the UK, they didn't stay, and then they left Diagon Alley and came to a gray city through apparation.

No matter where you are in the city, you can see several big chimneys, which makes people feel that black smoke is constantly billowing out all the time.

The city is on the edge of a dirty river with fish and chip wrappers strewn around the bank, and the water is black with no signs of life in it.

In a typical industrial city, the living environment is extremely bad. If you just live here, you probably won't be in a good mood every day.

"Where is this place? Professor Potter." Jon couldn't help asking, breathing in the tar-smelling air.

"Cokeworth, my former home."

After hearing this answer, Jon raised his eyebrows and did not continue to ask.

Afterwards, Lily led the way, and the two soon came to a dilapidated Muggle alley called Spider's End Alley.

There are rows of dilapidated brick houses in the alleys, and the windows on the houses are dark and lifeless during the day.

The messy river was right next to Spider's End Alley, and the stench from the river was not very strong, because the alley itself was already stinking enough.

Lily took Jon to the last two-story house at the end of the alley, and the two stopped there.

Compared with the surrounding buildings, this house looks nothing special. The door is not locked, and you can walk in with a light push.

Noticing that Jon was looking around, Lily took the initiative to speak.

"This is Snape's home."

Jon couldn't help subconsciously thinking about the meaning of this sentence. Although Snape's home sounds very inconsistent, he didn't jump out of some rock after all. This so-called his home , which was the place where his parents gave birth to him and raised him.

After taking another look at the dirty alley where the house was located, relevant information about Lily and Snape flooded into Jon's mind.

If he remembered correctly, Lily and Snape should have lived in the same alley and had grown up together as childhood sweethearts.

But soon he didn't have time to think about it anymore, because Lily had already walked into the room without any protective measures, and Jon could only speed up his pace to follow.

The house was very messy, all kinds of furniture had obviously been rummaged deliberately by someone, and they were randomly discarded everywhere. Even the murals on the wall were hung crookedly on the wall as if they had been checked by someone.

"This place was searched by Death Eaters?" It's easy, Jon can guess what happened here before, "Snape was taken away by us, and the Death Eaters thoroughly searched the place where he used to live Normal thing, but if that's the case, is there any chance they'll leave Aurors around to watch over here?"

Just as Jon looked towards some hidden places in the alley that were suitable for hiding and observing, Lily had already checked the fireplace full of half-burned firewood.

"He met us here before." Lily looked towards the direction facing the fireplace, which was the background where Snape was finally exposed before ending the Floo powder transmission screen.

"If he dares to come back here, and doesn't return to the side of the master who abandoned him, it means that there are no Aurors around to watch."

As she spoke, Lily picked up and threw it by the fireplace, a copy of the Daily Prophet with a new date.

The front page of the news has long stopped reporting on the Triwizard Tournament. As the ultimate loser, the British side naturally wants to minimize the impact of the lost Triwizard Tournament on the British wizards. The easiest thing to do is to try to Don't mention it, then one day, people will be attracted by other things and take the initiative to turn it.

The recent news is basically about changes in the Ministry of Magic's internal positions.

First of all, the head of the office of the Auror Command has changed. Everyone is guessing that Draco's terrible performance in the Triwizard Tournament must have angered that gentleman. Lucius was also angered by this, and he lost The position in the Ministry of Magic is now idle at home all day long.

Then there are other important departments, basically they have been changed all over again. Even Slughorn, who has been "conscientious" as the director of the International Magic Cooperation Department for the past two years, has been "leveled" from the position of director. "To the Secretary's Department in the Office of the Minister for Magic.

These revealed very unusual signals, and even more extraordinary, in the second edition of the Prophet's Daily Edition, it was vaguely revealed that the great gentleman seemed to want to establish a brand new magic school in England recently rumors.

The newspaper coverage of the event was as convincing as if the reporter who wrote the article had seen the new wizarding school being established.

But Jon, who saw the news, didn't believe the half letter written on it at all.

Voldemort's desire to establish a new magic school is simply nonsense, at most it is just an excuse to appease the emotions of wizards in Britain.

Let alone whether he still has the energy to build a magic school now, even if he does build it, what about the students?

The pure-blood and half-blood little wizards who were suitable for admission were all taken to France by Dumbledore!

Now Voldemort's newly established wizarding school should start teaching again from the first grade students?
This is obviously impossible, but the so-called establishment of a new magic school sounds very exciting for a while, but wizards are not fools, and they will quickly realize that this rumor is simply a joke.
