HP's Impassable Time

When the flames in the fireplace turned emerald green, Lily suddenly stopped before slipping in, making Snape, who was looking at her, ask her suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Lily felt as if she had forgotten something, but quickly said, "It's nothing, let's go!"

When they got to Spider's End, Snape used the Levitation Charm to take the luggage upstairs. Lily sat on the sofa downstairs with Meow in her arms, wondering if she had forgotten something.

In the end, Lily found out that she was missing a teammate when she returned to the city, and told Snape to go back to Hogwarts to bring the basilisk home!

Shasha: "How can you do this, Sha"

Seeing a little tearful (heavy fog; snakes don’t shed tears) basilisk, Lily was completely poked at the cute spot, but she still insisted: “Who told you to go out every day, tell me when you went back to the castle last time When, if I hadn't thought of you and lit snake incense to bring you back, I don't know how long you'll be wandering."

Shasha huddled together with guilt and said: "I just went to the Forbidden Forest to play. The Forbidden Forest is a bit big, so I'll just do it. It's troublesome to go back and forth, okay! Sha"

The basilisk became softer and quieter.

"Hmph! You still know that you have a guilty conscience." Lily nodded the basilisk's head lightly, but couldn't bear to hit it, so she could only snort.

"Lily likes me the most, Sha! It's okay if I don't run around anymore, and going to the Forbidden Forest is no fun, Sha. Those silly snakes can't speak well, who wants to play with them, Sha~" Rubbing her head against Lily's fingers.

Seeing that the basilisk was becoming more and more unrestrained to treat itself as a pet, Miaomiao couldn't stand it anymore. She stretched out her claws and patted the basilisk's head, grinning at the basilisk and making a "furfur" sound.

The basilisk was slapped by Miaomiao, but he was not as knowledgeable as Miaomiao, a little milk cat who couldn't say a word, who cares.

Pretending to be pitiful and wagging his tail, he begged Lily for comfort.

Lily patted Miaomiao's head with a funny face, "Okay, stop fighting, you two, Shasha, remember to go home often in the future, otherwise you will be put in confinement, so that you can't go out to roam."

In fact, Lily is quite curious about where the basilisk usually goes to play, and it often doesn't come home.

"Got it! Got it! Sand"

Meow meow gave the basilisk a blank look, "Meow meow, meow, woo!" (Stupid snake wagging its tail like a dog, do you think you are a dog!)

The basilisk looked at Miao Miao, who was making strange noises, and thought, "Poor child, he can meow even if he can't speak." '

Lily was a good pharmacist, Snape found out, but Lily could only stop at a senior pharmacist, because he found that Lily's thinking in creating new potions and improving potions was too limited, at least so far, he didn't look at it. out of any of Lily's talents.

But Lily can always quickly learn the existing potions, and the success rate of making them is very high. She always knows when to properly input magic power to maintain and improve the quality of the potions.

Seeing that Lily, who was helping her to make potions in the cellar, was able to handle part of her orders proficiently, she had more time to develop new potions, which was very good.

"Tomorrow we can go to the Ministry of Magic. After we have been to the Ministry of Magic, let's go to the Goblin Bank and a few potions shops." Snape said suddenly.

Lily, who was making the potion, responded in a low voice, and continued to concentrate on making the potion.

Snape suddenly felt that he had fallen out of favor...

Early the next morning, Snape took Lily to the Ministry of Magic.

It was Lily's first visit to the Ministry of Magic. When she stepped out of the fireplace, she saw the huge hall and the huge sculpture in the atrium. The walls were covered with heavy black tiles, giving people a depressing and solemn feeling.

Lily involuntarily took Snape's hand.

In fact, in the magic world, you don't need to go through any registration to adopt other children. Generally, you just hold a dance party and introduce the child to people you know.

The logistics department has always been in charge of the adoption procedures in the Ministry of Magic, because for a long time, the records of adoptions over the past century are only a few thin pages, and the logistics department has been looking for opportunities to clean up the files, because it is useless at all Opportunity to stand still.

Snape knew that the adoption process had to start when he was a child, and it was only by chance that he knew about it.

Take Lily to the minister's office on the basement floor.

Sitting in a strange elevator, Lily said that she almost vomited up her breakfast. When she got to the first floor, Lily leaned on her knees for a long time before she felt better. Snape looked at Lily's pale face with a dark face, annoyed at himself Why didn't you pay attention to these details.

But any member of the Ministry of Magic who passed by thought that Snape was angry at the little girl for dragging his feet, and shook their heads and sighed.

Knocking on the door of the Minister of Magic's office, Snape led Lily in.

"Oh! Snape, here you are. Sit down and have a cup of tea." The Minister of Magic, Fudge, was dealing with official business. He looked up and saw Snape. He stood up happily from his seat and invited Snape to sit aside. on the guest chair.

"I came to the Ministry of Magic for some business and brought you the potion." Snape finished speaking and motioned Lily to hand Fudge a few bottles of potion in the small bag.

Lily took out a slender box from her small black bag. This potion was made by her. It was a high-grade anti-hair loss potion. When Lily took it out, she secretly glanced at the top of Fudge's head. The hair was so thick that it couldn't be seen The look of this potion is needed.

Fortunately, Fudge didn't notice Lily's eyes, took the potion and happily praised Snape.

Snape frowned and said after a few words of greeting: "Since the minister still has official documents to deal with, I won't bother you." After speaking, he stood up and was about to leave.

Fudge put away the potion, asked Snape to wait, then picked up a piece of paper beside him, wrote a few words, folded it up like an airplane and flew out of the office. Two minutes later, he saw a tall lady walking in.

"Minister, you call me."

"This Mr. Snape needs to go through the formalities at the Ministry of Magic, and you help him finish it as soon as possible." Fudge smiled and said, "Severus, if you need anything, just talk to Andy."

"Thank you Minister, then I'll take my leave." Snape glanced at the witch named Andy, and said goodbye to Fudge with a smile on his face.

Lily was still holding Snape's hand, Snape's hand was a little cold, and he arrived at the logistics department within a few steps.

The logistics department is located on the basement floor like the minister's office. Unlike the minister's office, the logistics department has a large area, but there are many people, and everyone seems to be very busy.

Andy led the two of them to stand in front of a desk in a corner. Behind the desk was a somewhat bald man. There were tall piles of parchment on the desk, and the bottle of ink was almost empty.

Lily thought to herself, this man needs the advanced anti-hair loss hair restorer.

"David," Andy called the man's name to get his attention.

"Hey! What's the matter with Andy?" David pulled his face out of the parchment on the desk impatiently, with a hint of sex in his tone.

"This gentleman needs to go through the adoption procedures. I remember that you have been taking care of this..." Before Andy finished speaking, David yelled dissatisfied.

"David! Do this, David! Do that. David is very busy now. After David finishes his work, do we still need to go through the adoption procedures? Don't come to the Ministry of Magic to take up our time, I already Busy enough." David looked irritable, his eyes bloodshot and he looked like he hadn't slept in days.

Lily expressed her understanding, and she was not in a good mood during the time when she always had nightmares.

But this does not mean that Snape, who has a bad temper, will accept it with a good temper.

"Sir, if I understand correctly, this is your responsibility. Don't be dissatisfied like a child." Lily felt that her father was right, and praised her father in her heart.

"You don't want to go through the formalities!" David stopped his work in dissatisfaction, and stared at Snape's big nose viciously, "You uneducated..."

"David! This is a guest of the Minister of Magic. We just came out of the office of the Minister of Magic." Andy quickly interrupted before David said anything bad, deliberately accentuating the pronunciation on the Minister of Magic.

Lily saw that the face of the man named David turned pale all of a sudden, and cold sweat broke out from his head.

He said calmly: "Oh! It's Mr. Minister, um... what are you going to do? You know, there are a lot of logistics affairs recently, so people are inevitably a little impetuous, right!"

Looking at the writing all over his face, will people who accidentally offend the minister be put on shoes! 'David, Lily feels that she has learned a lot today, and the speed of changing her face is really not ordinary fast!

Snape frowned: "Adoption procedures." Concise and concise.

"Then I'll take my leave first." Andy asked Snape about the business he was going to handle on the way, and learned that it was the only one, so he said goodbye after seeing that David had already figured out what to do. As the minister's secretary, she still had Other work to do.

"Okay!" Snape nodded reservedly, saying goodbye to Andy.

David took Snape to the same place as the data room on the side, and asked them to wait, then entered the data room, and quickly took out a folder from it, and there were only a dozen pieces of parchment in it .

He gestured for Snape to sit on the chair beside the table, Lily could clearly see the dust flying in the air when the clip was opened, and resisted the urge to clean up the files and sat beside Snape.

David took out a blank form and handed it to Snape. Lily leaned over and saw some strange clauses written on it, such as what the adopter should do, the need to supervise the adopted person, and so on. Mentioned the issue of inheritance distribution.

Snape looked at it seriously, the parchment was not long, but Snape still looked at it for a while, which made David, who was waiting at the side, start to look around impatiently.

Knowing that Snape had carefully read the terms and felt that he had already settled down, he signed his name in the column of adopters.

Lily stretched her neck to look at Snape's name. The Professor's handwriting was beautiful, just like a painting. This reminded Lily of the ancient magic lines she drew, which all had a magical power.

Then Snape handed the parchment and pen to Lily. Lily had read the general content just now, and signed her name smoothly: Lily Severus Morin.

Snape raised an eyebrow, and Lily took her own name as a middle name.

"I saw that there will be return visits and supervision here. I would like to ask if there is any specific thing that can be used as a reference!" Snape and Lily each took out a hair that was eaten by the parchment, and saw David put it away. Dusty folder, Snape said.

"Oh! You know, this... magic manpower is limited." David gave Snape a look that you understand, and put the clip back in the reference room to put it away.

"Let's go! Dad." Lily shook Snape's hand, and Snape came out of his frown.

Lily found that her father always liked to frown, and his forehead was wrinkled.

After passing through the fireplace of the Ministry of Magic, the two came to Diagon Alley.

From the basement level to the eighth atrium, Snape took Lily up the stairs, yes!There is also a staircase in the Ministry of Magic, but it has not been used for a long time, and there is a lot of dust in it. Lily finally couldn't hold back and threw a [clean up] over there.

"I have a warehouse in Gringotts, which contains the inheritance I inherited from my mother's family, as well as my savings over the years, I will give you permission, and you can get it yourself when you need it in the future." Snape Taking Lily into Gringotts, it wasn't the first time Lily entered here, but it was the first time that she entered the small car and went so deep underground.

In the end Snape didn't say 'these will be yours when I die. ' He didn't really want to know Lily's reaction to the news.

After completing the formalities, Snape took Lily to the two shabby looking cars behind a little goblin, and when they stopped at the door of the vault, Lily was about to throw up, she never knew that she would faint with these things , secretly made up his mind to prepare two more bottles of motion sickness potion after returning home.

The goblin's finger scratched the door of the vault, and the door opened slowly.

Lily didn't know how other people reacted when they saw the vault, but she was stunned anyway.

The dark vault is full of all kinds of former magic weapons, as well as gold and silver ornaments, instruments, and other valuables, as well as a hill-like golden Gallon horse on the steps of the vault,

Lily, who has been upgraded from abject poverty to a rich second generation, said that she has been dazzled by a warehouse of gold.

Snape picked up a box on one side of an ornate dark wooden table containing several rolls of parchment.

"Here is the list of items in the warehouse. I still have a copy at home. When you make changes in the future, just remember to change them yourself."

Lily looked at the thick rolls of parchment, which were filled with the names and values ​​of various utensils.

"Wow! Dad, how did you do it! You don't usually see that you have savings!" Lily glanced at the parchment and sighed from the bottom of her heart.

Thinking of the few Galleons in my small bag, I deeply lamented that my luck was really unfounded. I hugged such a big thick leg. The most important thing is that the thick leg is very rich and said mine is yours, you can do whatever you want flower.

Until leaving Gringotts, Lily was still in the mood that my father was so rich.

Snape looked at Lily's silly look amusedly: "These are part of the Princeton family's property, and many precious potion books have been in Princeton's manor, I will take you to see them in a few days Look, in the future, Princeton will only have you besides me."

"Is Princeton my grandfather's home?" Lily asked curiously.

"Yes!" Snape didn't want to discuss this topic again, so Lily held Snape's hand quietly and said nothing more.

It wasn't until the two of them went to several potion shops that Snape told about Lily being his helper, and put some potions in the shop for consignment, and soon the two decided to go home.

"My mother was a wizard, and my father was a Muggle. He was prejudiced against witchcraft." On the way, Snape saw Lily who had quieted down and stopped talking, and suddenly wanted to tell her this, and he did so.

Lily nodded, "Then does grandpa like you?"

"I didn't like it very much. At that time, his business lost money and he often drank heavily." Snape's voice was very soft, without any emotion.

"Then grandma must like you very much." Lily saw the new father who was a little sentimental.

"Well! Maybe I don't like it very much, but I still learned the most valuable knowledge about magic from him." Snape said suddenly.

"I know Dad used to go to Hogwarts." Lily said softly.

Snape's face suddenly turned pale, and he pretended not to care and asked, "How did you know that?"

"Madame Pomfrey said in the infirmary at the end of the term that you like to secretly read books behind her back, and you are very stubborn." Lily raised her head to look at Snape's eyes, which were as black and bright as her own.

"Oh! Madam Pomfrey is a qualified school doctor." Snape nodded.

Lily didn't know why she hadn't asked about Snape's injuries when he used to go to the infirmary all the time, feeling like that wasn't a very pleasant thing to do.

The two of them were still in the Spider's End Alley, where they returned from the strange medicine shop in Guli.

It was already afternoon when the two returned home, and Lily went to the kitchen to get busy with dinner. Snape recently developed a potion (the blue potion in the game) to replenish the wizard's magic power as soon as possible after the wizard's magic power is consumed. It is rare in normal life, but it is not uncommon in times of war.

Potions for treating wounds in wars and this kind of magic potion are very popular. The magic potions used in previous wars have a slow recovery (but much faster than their own recovery), and once the magic power is really exhausted, it cannot be replenished immediately. , it can only be used when there is magic power in the body of the user.It usually takes a day or longer to recover when the magic power is exhausted.

Snape didn't know why he didn't let go of this potion. After studying it for so many years, it has improved a lot. Recently, he encountered a difficulty.

Snape looked at "The Medicinal Value of Animal Offal", but his mind was not on it. He was no longer alone, and there was a soft daughter at home, which made the old man who spent almost every semester at Hogwarts Men are not used to it yet.

Hearing the small sounds from the kitchen and Meow's footsteps coming down the stairs, Snape thought it was more beautiful than any beautiful singing.

Dinner consisted of toast and pie, accompanied by a big bowl of vegetable soup, which both Lily and Snape felt very satisfied.

Both of them nestled in the sofa and didn't want to move. The basilisk came back to eat obediently at night, and was dozing off with its eyes squinted on the top of the sofa where Lily was sitting.

Meow Meow lay obediently on Lily's lap, yawned, and secretly glanced at the basilisk, as if she would hit it at any moment.

Lily was thinking about what Snape said in Diagon Street, she wanted to know about his past, but she didn't know what the consequences would be, she was worried that it would be like opening Pandora's box Same, breaking the tranquility in front of you.

After closing the "Basics of Magic Patterns" in her hand, Lily looked at the clock hanging on the wall, it was already eight o'clock.

"Then I'm going to bed," Lily felt so sleepy that she could hardly keep her eyes open.

Snape nodded, but Lily didn't get up to leave. She put the book on the coffee table, hugged Meow and stared at Snape who was still reading.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say you're sleepy!"

"Dad, what time do you plan to go to bed?" Lily yelled smoothly, but Snape still didn't quite react, and moved a little awkwardly.

"For a while, I will fall asleep after reading a few pages."

"Okay then! Don't lie to me."

Snape had a criminal record. Sometimes when inspiration came or something, he would suddenly spend several days in the laboratory. If Lily hadn't asked him to eat regularly, Lily felt that he would starve himself to death in the room. (And it turns out that the professor hasn't starved himself to death after all these years. Lily: It's a miracle 'sneer')

"Yes! I promise." Snape replied casually, his eyes still glued to the book.

Lily carried Miaomiao and the sleeping basilisk Sasha back to her room, put Sasha in his den, and Miaomiao nestled obediently beside the pillow. Lily changed into her pajamas and lay down.

At about one o'clock in the middle of the night, Lily was awakened again by a nightmare. Lily, who hadn't had a nightmare for several days, suddenly had a nightmare again for some reason.

In the dream, I was locked in a closed space, where it was very cold, and then I was frozen to death.

But she couldn't remember the details, it was completely different from her first dream, as if it was just an ordinary nightmare, but she intuitively felt that these forgotten dreams seemed to be connected in series.

She didn't know what the omens of these dreams were, but every time she woke up, she felt a strong uneasiness in her heart.

Just like being woken up by the professor in the office last time, it seems that there is no safety at all!

Then there were the hands that Phil wanted to hold, and Lily had finally remembered recently why the name Phil sounded so familiar.

That was the first dream I remembered after I was injured in a Quidditch match in the first grade. In an orphanage, the dean called me Phil.

What do these dreams portend?Lily didn't understand, and lay back on the bed, Lily tried to fall asleep again, but the scenes from the previous nightmare were always in front of her eyes.

Lily finally got up and planned to go downstairs to drink some water.

Once downstairs, she saw the professor who had fallen asleep on the sofa. Lily patted her forehead helplessly, carefully pulled the book out of Snape's hand and put it aside, and cast a silent spell with her wand to gently make Snape Floating, Snape might wake up as usual, but today he slept too deeply, opened the door of Snape's room, put Snape away carefully, and covered him with the quilt again, Lily whispered Exit the room and close the door softly.

Lily didn't want to drink the water anymore, and felt that she still needed to strengthen her spell practice, but she felt a little powerless from the short distance from the first floor to the second floor. Lili, who was relaxed, didn't think of anything else, just He fell into a deep sleep and didn't have a nightmare until the next day.

Snape, who was cast with the Levitation Curse, actually woke up halfway, but he suddenly woke up and didn't know how to face the embarrassing scene of being floating in mid-air.

Thanks to his identity as a double agent, he can control his heartbeat very well, trying to make it beat as smoothly as possible without being detected.

It was not until he was put on the bed and covered with a quilt, and Lily closed the door lightly, that Snape opened his eyes in the darkness.

The room is very dark, there is no moon today, and the street lights outside have already reached the time to be extinguished. In the quiet environment, you can hear the small sound of insects in the small garden outside the window.

Pulled the dark green quilt upwards so that half of his face was covered by the quilt.

Close your eyes again.

***

Lily got up early in the morning, and she went to the small yard behind the house after cooking.

Lily cleaned it up during the holidays last year, but now it is full of weeds, and I don’t know if it’s the household garbage thrown in by the neighbors.

Lily tapped her wand and carefully cleaned up every piece of debris she could see, and put them into the trash basket that was turned from a large bucket with a broken bottom.

It wasn't until the huge baskets were filled that the small yard could barely be seen, and the overgrown weeds hadn't been cleared.

Lily took advantage of the early morning when no one was around and quietly used her magic wand to take the large basket that had been cast with the levitation spell and walked towards the garbage dump, pretending to be struggling to carry it.

Then there are those weeds, this one is relatively simple, use [Shenfeng Wuying] to cut off the grass roots and then disappear, use [Small Blast] to reorganize the ground, pick out the weed roots, and then use magic power to crush the ground level.

Then use the elm vine seeds given by Professor Sprout to scatter in a specific location, and use magic power to spawn.

It soon grew into the frame of a semicircular flower shed. Lily shook her stiff arms to stop the output of magic power.

Giving birth to plants is actually the most mana-consuming thing, and the sadly spawned plants don't live for a long time.

The frame has been fixed, and when I go back to Diagon Alley to buy back the magic glass, I can use the Transformation Charm to adjust the shape.

Snape who went downstairs didn't see Lily, but saw the breakfast on the table. Meow Meow was already lying on the sofa playing tennis that Lily bought a long time ago.

"Dad, you're awake! Breakfast is on the table." Snape saw that Lily's nose was still sweating when she came in through the back door.

It was a little strange that Lily went there early in the morning, but she didn't ask much, nodded quietly, and sat at the dining table.

Lily ordered the milk on the table again, and soon there was a thin white smoke floating above the milk, and the temperature became warm but not hot.

"I tidied up the courtyard at the back and planned to build a greenhouse." Lily went back upstairs to change her clothes and said when she went downstairs.

Snape nodded to show that he knew, anyway, it was empty, so Lily could do whatever he wanted.

Lily, who was busy, was writing her homework for the holidays. Suddenly her body froze. She thought of a serious question. In the past, she used wandless magic during the holidays, but today she used a wand carelessly. She remembered that the underage wizard When you use magic, you will be held accountable by the Ministry of Magic.

Feeling apprehensive, Lily didn't receive a letter from the Ministry of Magic until the evening, and she was finally relieved that nothing would happen if she didn't pursue it for so long.

Snape didn't go to the basement to find information recently. He felt that Lily was obviously not in a good mood except for one day in the morning (he didn't go to the backyard).

The girlish Snape became melancholy again: How can I break my hot daughter who has a little secret with me right after she was born?

***

There are not many interesting things in the daily life of a pure wizard.

Lily no longer works during the holidays, so she spends her holiday homework in Spider's End every day. Since she is in the second grade, her homework is not heavy, and she has already completed most of her homework in just three weeks.

Sha Sha has learned to behave well, and she will come back to have dinner with everyone every night, and sometimes she doesn't go out for a whole day, hissing in the corner with Miao Miao, not knowing what to do.

Lily, who was concentrating on her homework, didn't care.

Snape received a letter from Hogwarts in mid-July, ending his happy time at home with his daughter.

The professor in the black wizard robe turned back into the Dean of the Snake Academy.

"I'm going back to Hogwarts today. I don't know what time I'll be back in the evening. You don't have to wait for me to eat." Snape said in a hurry and returned to Hogwarts through the green fire.

Lily looked at the empty room, she was not used to it being deserted.

Although Snape was not always in front of Lily's eyes, Lily knew he was always around her.

Lily, who smiled wryly, never realized that she was so afraid of being alone.

Grab Miaomiao's two front paws and lift it up to achieve the same level: "Hey! Dad is going out, and we are left to depend on each other."

The basilisk rustled and climbed up at Lily's feet until it wrapped around Lily's wrist.

"Okay, okay, and you, I don't know when Dad will come back."

Lily put the two entangled little things on the sofa, and she also nestled on one side, hugging the soft pillow, and picked up the "Magicweave Basics" on the other side.

This book is definitely the slowest Lily reads.

Although she remembers the magic patterns in the book, Lily, who has a handicap, said that she is really practicing, but often a simple magic pattern needs to be practiced many times before it will be effective.

Recently, she is practicing a magic pattern that can emit light. The book introduces it as the earliest magic pattern applied to night lighting. The magic pattern drawn by Lily is always bright and dark, but it is much stronger than the first few times when it was not bright at all.

Bored, Lily took out her wand and waved it in the air to practice drawing magic patterns.

Since the last time Lily discovered that there was no warning from the so-called Ministry of Magic, she used her wand more recklessly.

***

Snape emerged from the fireplace in the potions office, patting the ashes on his body that didn't exist.

There was a layer of dust in the office because it hadn't been used for more than a month, which reminded Snape that the place with dust should be Spider's End.

After cleaning up the office briefly, Snape came to the headmaster's office through the long corridor of Hogwarts.

"Cockroach Heap" frowned and said a riddle, and the door of the office opened.

"Severus, here you come."

Only Dumbledore was in the office, and many principals were not in their picture frames, and they didn't know where they went.

Dumbledore is in good spirits. He has successfully applied for Black's supervisory rights. Now as long as Black doesn't make any mistakes, he is completely free.

Snape clearly scoffed at Black's freedom.

He stared at Dumbledore dissatisfied, "Come on, Severus, at least they can't hurt you anymore now."

"Yeah~ yeah!" Snape said, "but the damage has been done." There was resentment in his words.

"No one said that those things never existed." Dumbledore also raised his voice, "After all, you..."

"What am I? Am I a dirty Death Eater!" Snape interrupted Dumbledore excitedly.

Dumbledore's face was a little embarrassing, "Ah! Sif."

"I don't think the headmaster asked me to come just to tell me that I hate people! If so, then there is no need for me to stay here." Snape turned around and left after speaking.

"No, it's about the triwizard struggle!" Dumbledore sat back in his chair and said with a licorice candy.

"Triwizard hegemony? Hasn't it been banned for many years?" Snape turned around and frowned.

"Yes, but after discussion by the Ministry of Magic, it is time to reopen this event." Dumbledore threw the licorice candy into his mouth.

"So, you're worried that Harry will attend?" Snape asked after a moment's thought.

Dumbledore said: "Yes, I am a little worried. I am suggesting that the age limit for the Triwizard Tournament be raised to avoid this from happening."

"But I'm not sure the Ministry will heed my advice."

"Are you asking me to watch out for Harry's safety next term?"

"Yes! In addition, Karkaroff will come to this school. You know his previous identity. I hope you can keep an eye on him. I don't want anything to happen during the game."

Snape nodded thoughtfully.

The two talked late about the next term, and it was almost midnight by the time Snape came home.

Dumbledore suggested that Snape rest at Hogwarts, but Snape refused.

He now has a place to go back to.

When he came out of the flames, he saw the girl lying on the couch, already asleep under a thin blanket, and the book in her hand dropped to the ground.

The basilisk nestled on the top of the sofa, opened its eyes and stared at Snape who came out of the flames, yawned and continued to sleep.

Meow Meow lay on her stomach at Lily's feet.

Snape picked up the book that fell on the floor and put it on the side coffee table, put Lily's hands exposed outside the thin quilt back into the thin quilt, tucked in the corners of the quilt, and sat on the side sofa Looking up at Lily in the dim light.

After a long time, Snape got up and walked up the stairs, melting into the dark moonlight.

The basilisk slowly slid down the sofa, "Sleep, milk cat, Sha."

"Sha" Miao Miao's mouth popped out one after another indistinct snake language.

The basilisk rolled its eyes, "After studying here for a long time, I learned a Sha, Sha"

"Sha!" Meow Miao's snake language became more accentuated, and the hairs on her back stood on end.

"Let's not talk about you, Sha, that old man is back, you should go to sleep quickly! Sha"

After speaking, he climbed to the ground and crawled towards the door.

"Sand?" Miaomiao looked at the basilisk strangely.

"Go out and come back tomorrow! Sha. Why do you care so much, you little milk cat! Sha" said without looking back, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

Meow Meow stopped next to Lily's head with light steps, carefully avoiding Lily's hair, then lay down and closed her two-color pupils.

Lily turned around, facing the back of the sofa, oblivious to all this.
