I abducted HP's friend on his wedding day

Turn your eyes to the other side~~

Lily finally found out about Salazar's appearance. She felt a little better at first, but soon found that something was wrong with Salazar deliberately hiding from herself and James.

So, Lily made an appointment with Snape, intending to find out the inside story. In order to prevent James from causing trouble, she deliberately kept him away.

Diagon Alley, at this time, is still some time before the start of school, so it is just as usual, not as lively as the days before school starts.

The last time Harry came here was before the start of school, and what he saw was a crowded Diagon Alley.

This time, Lily specifically asked what textbooks she needed to prepare in advance and took Harry shopping early.

"Mom, if it's so early..." Harry was not very willing. He had actually made an appointment with his friend, so he was not very happy. "We don't need to be in such a hurry, right?"

Lily casually brushed off Harry's doubts: "It's not necessary, but I made an appointment with your professor. Regarding your performance in school, I think it is necessary to inquire."

Harry's eyes widened, and he didn't even want to believe what he heard.

"Mother?!"

Harry's tone was filled with anxiety.

"I didn't get into trouble at school! Really not! I've told you all those things. It's really none of my business. I didn't mean it!"

Lily smiled lightly, her eyes falling on Harry's face with a hint of mockery.

In fact, it was just her trying to scare her child. Lily naturally knew all the things Harry did, and gave him all the lessons that should be taught. Harry also knew that he was wrong. In fact, it was considered a revelation on Lily's part, but... This didn't stop Lily from scaring Harry at all.

Harry didn't know the truth. Of course, he couldn't tell Lily everything he did at school, but there were some things that he couldn't hide, so he told Lily honestly.

"Mom~~"

Harry was acting coquettishly, hoping that Lily would actually see some professor and spare him.

After all, Harry is a very naughty student, and what he does is probably as good as the Weasley twins next door. He has two adults, James and Sirius, to guide him, which is to sneak through the secret passage. I have done all the things in Hogsmeade.

However, Harry was not sure now whether the professor Lily was meeting would know what he had done.

Lily first took Harry to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

The main reason is that the teaching materials needed this year seem to be a little abnormal.

Harry stood on tiptoes and saw the book list.

"What are these?" Except for the first book "Standard Spells (Level 2)", Harry didn't think it was strange. The names of the series of books that followed gave Harry some ominous premonitions. "Breaking with a ghost? Traveling with a ghoul! Vacationing with a hag? Traveling with a troll, troll?! Traveling on a ship with a vampire... Wandering with a werewolf? A year with a Tibetan yeti..."

Troll?

Werewolf?

What are these things? !

Harry's eyes were dull, mainly because he did see the troll last semester, and the impression was really deep. Moreover, in terms of werewolves... some furry little problems about his dear Uncle Lupin... Well...

Harry said he really couldn't understand.

"Mom, are these all my textbooks? Why do they look a little strange? And this author, the author of these books, are all the same person, right? Who is he? Is he a very powerful wizard?"

Harry likes Quidditch and doesn't like novels at all, especially since the author of this novel was once very eye-catching. For James, a man who has always been cautious, he also guarded against someone who performed very well and knew how to do it. Attract your wife.

It's just that after Lily saw it, she seemed to be aware of something and showed disdain. Compared with Mrs. Weasley, James was really relieved.

And Harry, of course, didn't know this at all.

"He is indeed a very famous wizard..." Lily looked at the book list with an impatient expression. "I wonder if the professor of this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class likes this author very much..."

Lily's eyes narrowed and she thought of something.

"Even if you really like this author, there's no need to put all his books on it, right?"

Harry looked at Lily with confusion.

Lily seemed to understand, and there was a hint of shock in her eyes.

"Could it be that we can't find anyone suitable for this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class?!"

Harry considered it and spoke cautiously: "Mom, the new professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts? Are those strange-looking book lists written by this new professor? He has written so many books..."

Harry thought of his good friend's family and felt a little worried.

"I wonder what Ron will do. With so many books, will it be difficult for Mrs. Weasley..." Harry stopped himself in time. After all, his idea was a bit rude. They were from Ron's own family. matter.

Harry is sometimes helpless. He is the only child in the Potter family. It is said that his father is also an only son. The important thing is that the Potter family has a good industry, so their family is very wealthy.

Harry also has a very wealthy godfather, which makes Harry lack for everything since he was a child. He likes Quidditch, and there is a special room in the house where he keeps a whole room of broomsticks, as long as they are on the market. Harry has almost all styles and series.

He would even be taken by his godfather to meet celebrity Quidditch players.

This is something Ron couldn't imagine.

Sirius even had his own Quidditch club.

At least, Harry didn't realize there was such a thing as a lack of money as a child until he and Ron became friends.

Only then did Harry realize that poverty still exists in this world.

However, he has been taught strictly by Lily since he was young. He is not that kind of naughty child. He has always had a good temper. Apart from the occasional naughty advances, he is actually a very good child.

Lily looked at the book list and felt that she had probably guessed who the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was, so she had a bad expression.

"I have a copy of these books at home, and they are not very old. You can just use those. Except for the Werewolf book, which I don't have at home, we have all the others. We only need to buy this one."

Harry hesitated for a moment and did not ask Lily to buy new textbooks. He thought that the textbooks Ron used last year were second-hand, which sometimes made Harry feel embarrassed to take out his own brand-new textbooks. Ron sat together.

Ron's self-esteem has always been very strong, and Harry always has to worry about it.

I wonder if using second-hand textbooks this time will make Ron feel happier.

It should be possible, right?

Harry's expression kept changing there. It was really interesting. Lily glanced at it but didn't pay attention to it.

She took Harry to buy all the textbooks on the book list at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, and then took Harry to prepare to re-make several sets of school uniforms. Over the past year, Harry had grown very fast, and he really needed to re-make several sets of school uniforms. Made school uniforms.

Although it was only a little short, the Potter family was not short of money, so they could naturally buy something that fit better.

After ordering the school uniforms, Lily took Harry to the ice cream shop, bought Harry a large portion of ice cream, and started waiting for someone.

Harry didn't know who his mother was dating today until he saw Snape.

He dared to say that his father never knew about this matter!

Snape glanced at Harry, said nothing, and sat down opposite Lily.

"Am I late?"

The ice cream in front of Harry was almost gone, and Snape was worried that Lily had been waiting for a long time.

Lily shook her head: "No, I just took Harry to buy textbooks, and I saw on the book list..." Lily showed a confused expression and continued. "I have most of the textbooks at home, so I save a lot of time at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore."

Snape's face turned livid when he mentioned this year's book list.

Seeing this look on Lily's face, she became even more sure of her thoughts.

She sighed and continued: "Is that really that person?! What did Principal Dumbledore think? I can see that if you read the contents of those books from beginning to end, you can get some clues."

Snape looked at Lily with some confusion: "What suspicion?"

Lily didn't expect that Snape didn't know, but when she thought about it, it wasn't surprising.

"That's right, Sifu, you definitely haven't read those books, right?"

Snape naturally shook his head, saying that he had never seen it at all, he had only heard about it.

"I heard that Lockhart wrote a book and travelogue based on his own adventures? I've probably heard about it, and it seems that they are all very exciting adventures. He is very famous, and everyone thinks that he is an extremely powerful adventurer. ."

Seeing the undisguised sarcasm on Lily's face, Snape realized it later.

"Is there something wrong here?"

Lily thought about it for a moment. In fact, she just felt that something was not right. In fact, Lily had no evidence at all.

"Some places are contradictory, but... this is just my personal opinion. I think some of the things in it may be suspicious, and they don't seem to be the same person's adventure style... I don't know if I can make it clear to you. It’s the protagonist who seems to have a different style of behavior, and his character design in the books before and after is not completely consistent.”

Lily sighed. In fact, this situation is more subjective. After all, not all adventures happen in the same period. What if the protagonist just grows up?

But based on the order in which the books were published, Lily felt that there were some risks and seemed to have some contradictions in the characters.

In the previous book, the protagonist was particularly sophisticated, and in the next book, his character seemed to be a little impulsive. However, these cannot be said to be a clear direction, they are just Lily's personal thoughts.

Lily couldn't just say that for a famous wizard like Lockhart, there might be something wrong with the novel just because she felt the character was inconsistent.

Lily felt that Lockhart's novel might be fake.

Snape trusted Lily very much: "Since you think there is a problem, then there must be a problem. I will tell Dumbledore, just in case..." Snape thought of Professor Quirrell last semester. If Hart still has any problems, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing for Dumbledore.

"I hope there is no big problem." Snape quickly gave up on Dumbledore's worries. In Snape's heart, Dumbledore was far less important than Lily. He did care about the old man, but It's not much, just a reminder.

"Lily, you asked me out because of Celes Brown, right?"

Lily nodded.

Harry sat next to Lily and found that his mother didn't seem to have any intention of letting him not listen. There was some uncertainty on his face. Was she trying to let him know some secret news?

But, is this really okay?

Lily noticed Harry's doubts. In fact, she was hesitant to tell Harry some secrets. However, Lily was her biological mother, so she was naturally willing to protect Harry and let him grow up happily without knowing anything. , but Lily also knew very well that the child in the prophecy was Harry, chosen by Voldemort himself!

One day, Harry will face this dangerous enemy on his own.

Harry couldn't be so simple, he couldn't know everything.

That's not protecting, that's endangering Harry.

Lily was determined, she wanted Harry to grow up, even if it would be cruel in the process, she wanted Harry to be safer.

It is necessary to know that your situation is dangerous.

"Aren't you going to let Harry leave temporarily?" Snape's eyes fell on Harry, hesitantly.

"I can't hide him for the rest of my life..." Lily smiled bitterly.

"I see..." Snape understood Lily's choice. He didn't know whether it was good or bad for Harry, but this was Lily's choice as a mother, and he could only support it.

"This matter starts with a freshman at Hogwarts last year."

Lily frowned, thinking about the list of last year's Hogwarts freshmen, and one name came out to her immediately.

"Angus Slytherin?"

Snape sighed. Indeed, the last name was too eye-catching, but he was not talking about Angus, but Tom.

"It's Tom Riddle."

Lily narrowed her eyes.

Harry didn't know why: "Riddle? That seems to be the student who was ostracized and isolated by the entire Slytherin school, right?"

Noticing the looks that Snape and Lily were looking at, Harry didn't understand, but he still said honestly: "I know him. In fact, he is quite famous. After all, the whole Slytherin seems to dislike him."

Thinking of the points deducted from Tom, Harry felt that he had found a reason.

"He caused Slytherin to deduct a lot of people, and there were a few students around him who were relatively close. Even those students seemed to have deducted a lot of points because of him." Harry thought of something and suddenly said. "And Ron!"

"Weasley?" What does this have to do with Ron Weasley?

Harry replied: "Yes, Ron said that Riddle was at odds with his Slytherin classmates, so one time he and Slytherin ended up in a strange place together!"
