HP's Impassable Time

The next morning Lili got up and still made a meal for two. During the meal, neither of them spoke. They didn't talk when they had breakfast together before, but today it feels very strange.

After the two had breakfast, Snape picked up the "Daily Prophet" to read the news. The huge Dark Mark on the photo took up half of the page. Lily was clearing the dining table, as well as Meow and Rustle's dinner plates.

Neither of them spoke to the other until around nine o'clock in the morning, when Snape received a letter from Hogwarts.

It was from Dumbledore. He actually received the news yesterday, but he only found time today to ask Snape to go to school.

Snape packed himself up and returned to the living room. Lily had already gone upstairs. Snape didn't say anything after all, and came to Hogwarts through the fireplace.

And Lily, who Snape thought had already gone upstairs, was standing by the sofa, using her 【Erasing All Scenes】, looking at Snape, not letting go of every expression.

It wasn't until the flame in the fireplace turned a normal red color that Lily moved her stiff body a little.

"Lily, are you in a cold war with that old man? Sha"

"Shusha, don't call him an old man, he is my father now."

"A father who can't speak Parseltongue? Sha, then you might as well call me Dad! Sha." Shasha rolled her eyes.

"Okay, rustle."

"If you let Salazar know that his descendants have such an old man as their father, I don't know what he will think, Sha."

"I said don't call him an old man, Sasha, he treats me very well." Lily raised her voice and shouted.

"I won't talk anymore, Sha, don't be sad, Sha." Instead of going back, Sha Sha climbed onto Lily's shoulder and rubbed her pointed head against Lily's face.

He knew that Lily was sad, so he wanted to bicker to make her feel better, but it seemed that he used the wrong method.

"Thank you, Shasha, I know what you mean, it's just me..." Lily also said in a slow tone.

"I won't call him an old man from now on, alright, Sha." Sasha raised her tail and said.

Lily picked up the newspaper on the coffee table, and noticed the huge Dark Mark when she cleaned the table in the morning. Lily didn't know that such a wonderful thing happened after she fell asleep inexplicably.

'If the terrified witches and wizards - who were listening to the news with bated breath at the edge of the wood - expected the Ministry's reassurance, alas, they would be disappointed.A cabinet official, who made an appearance after the black marks appeared, said no one was hurt and declined to divulge any other information.It remains to be seen whether the statement will shatter rumors that many people will be moved in an hour. '—Borrowing from the original Daily Prophet segment.

"Rita Skeeter? What she writes looks exaggerated, doesn't it?" Lily read a short section of the newspaper, using Parseltongue.

"I don't understand, but it's all nonsense. Sha!"

"The horror of the Quidditch World Cup! It does seem to be nonsense, and I didn't find any useful information. It's all ambiguous sentences. What do you think the logo looks like?"

Lily pointed to the picture in the newspaper.

"It's so ugly! Sha!" Sasha hissed in disgust.

"I think so too. I really don't know who would use such an ugly logo as their own representative." Lily curled her lips and said disdainfully.

"But the use of snakes is still very thoughtful, isn't it? Sand"

"That's it!"

"School starts in two weeks. Didn't you say that there will be people from other schools coming to Hogwarts! Sha, this semester should be more lively, what do you think? Sha"

Shasha climbed onto the sofa and raised her upper body to face Lily.

While cleaning the living room, Lily said, "I don't know. I hope there will be fewer things next semester. I just want to go to school quietly and earn some money."

"That's why you humans are weird, Sha. You can't find enough to eat, and you have to use that strange metal to get it. Sand!"

"Not just food, many of them need to use the strange metal you mentioned."

"There is still paper!" Shasha added.

"Yes, yes, yes! There is still paper." Hearing Lily echoing her words, Shasha, who had found a sense of accomplishment, straightened her chest that didn't really exist, put on a proud face, opened her mouth, her forked tongue was extremely It quickly stretched out and then retracted, causing the corners of Lily's mouth to rise.

"Sure enough, I still like the way you smile, Lily, Sha!"

Lily didn't continue talking, and quickly cleaned up the living room with magic, and then cleaned up the other rooms with magic.

It began to rain outside the house, and at the same time, rumbling thunder resounded through the sky, shaking the old houses in Spider's End to tremble.

Lily opened the back door, there was a strong wind outside the house, the rain hit Lily's body and it was icy cold, Lily didn't bring rustle out, and opened the greenhouse in the backyard that she remodeled.

The greenhouse is an irregular semicircle, occupying about half of the area of ​​the back garden. The main frame is the elm vines, and the magic glass bought by Lily is inlaid in the irregular gaps between the elm vines, and they bite tightly on the elm vines. .

Open the door of the small greenhouse, and two people can turn around and operate it inside. There are magic plants all around, so they should be sorted and put away.

"[Close your ears and listen]" Lily tapped her ear with her magic wand, then walked to a small pot of large-leaved plants in the corner, placed another clean and slightly larger pot side by side with it, and grabbed Plant the stem near the base, take a deep breath and forcefully breathe out of the soil.

The magic glass blocked all the sounds in the greenhouse. Lily pulled out a dwarf-like root plant from the soil. He opened his mouth and waved his limbs wildly, but Lily couldn't hear anything, including the thunder outside.

Put the plants into the large flowerpot next to them, and then find out the previously prepared soil from the bottom layer of the wooden lattice, use a small shovel to shovel the soil a little bit, submerge the human-shaped rhizomes with soil, and finally compact the soil slightly, After pouring a little water, he tapped his magic wand on his ear again to break the spell.

The thunder outside sounded again, deafening.

Lily watered the pots of plants on the left and loosened the soil. The magic lights on the pots on the right were filled with magic energy to keep them warm. She opened the door and left after everything was tidied up. up the greenhouse.

Carrying the replaced small flowerpot in her hand, which was still stained with mud, she casually put the flowerpot under the eaves, and Lily gave herself a [clean up], the rainwater on her shoulders and the mud on her sleeves disappeared.

After entering the house, Lily changed a pair of clean shoes and went to the basement, cleaned the basement again, and tidied up the small storage room in the basement before Lily went to take a shower and waited for Lily to dry her hair with magic By the time, it was already past one in the afternoon.

After warming up the leftover bread from the morning, Lily felt that her stomach was no longer hungry, and she didn't even have the desire to eat after working for so long.

Sitting at a dining table alone, there are many dog ​​foods that Miao Miao likes to eat. Yes, Miao Miao is a cat, but it actually likes to eat dog food. Lily can’t understand its preference. I was too full, so I stopped eating at noon, and I hid in the bedroom and didn't know what I was doing.

After a quick meal, Lily went to the potion laboratory in the basement. She can now make part of the potion orders that Snape received before, as long as they are ready and delivered to the quirky shop in Diagon Alley. , Lily is now taking over two orders for delivery on the 28th of the end of the month, and there are only three bottles left. Lily plans to finish it in one afternoon, and then pack them up.

Chop the roots of the chicken bone grass and cook the treated slugs with tentacles, then crush the venomous snake’s teeth, take out the cooked slugs, let them cool and control the water, weigh the cassia seeds separately during this period, and set aside Pick up a No. [-] brass crucible, pour [-] milliliters of water and three drops of mouse bile into it, stir it clockwise five times and then counterclockwise twice, and steadily input magic power through the stirring rod until the water becomes cloudy Finally, the flame was raised, and at this time, the whole cold slug was thrown into the water, took out the stirring stick, and the magic wand lightly tapped the beeping hourglass next to it, the hourglass turned around to start timing, and the red policeweed was kicked out of the juice ...everything is going on in an orderly manner.

By the time the last bottle of potion came out, it was completely dark, the rain had stopped, and there was no sound in the basement. It took Lily a while to clean everything up and put it back where it should be.

Walked up the steps to the first floor, and opened the closed cellar door. The magic lamp in the room was not on, and the whole room was extremely dark, with no moonlight coming in. Lily guessed that it should be cloudy outside now.

Walking lightly in the house, Lily didn't turn on the lights, she was already familiar with the location of all the things in the house, even if it was darker, she wouldn't bump into the furniture.

She knew that Snape must not have come back, her stomach began to cram, but her heart refused to eat. Lily sat on a chair in the dining room in the dark, lying on the table, with her head pressed against her arms, thinking about whether to go for something to eat, but in the end Drowsy and fell asleep.

The next day dawned, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sunlight gradually moved through the window lattice. It reached Lily's feet, calves, fingertips, arms and hair, and finally shone on the position of her eyes.

The blinding light wakes Lily up.

Lily squinted her eyes and tried to cover the sun with her hands but failed, her whole arm was numb.

It took a long time for Lily to stand up slowly, her legs were also numb, a piece of gold star appeared in front of her eyes, and then an uncontrollable spasm spread all over her limbs, accompanied by a clanging sound, Lily knocked on the chair and fell together with the chair On the ground, the sound of chairs hitting the ground echoed in the somewhat empty room for two weeks.

This time, after only a short delay, Lily slowly got up from the clean ground, her hair was loose like a female fairy.

Smiling wryly, Lily secretly lamented that she did a good job of sanitation yesterday, and when she slowly stood up, she was much better. She straightened the chair, and Lily knew that she needed to replenish energy, and the fastest way was chocolate.

It was only when Lily was looking for her small bag that she remembered that it seemed to have fallen on the ground the day before yesterday, but she didn’t find it when she was cleaning the house yesterday, so I only found it now, and the only place I didn’t visit was...

Lily looked up at the closed door upstairs. The paint had started to peel off in places, but Snape had never repaired them.

In the end, Lily still didn't open the door, and walked slowly to the kitchen. Fortunately, there were some leftovers from the previous few days, a few overripe tomatoes and eggs in the refrigerator, and some meat in the frozen layer.

Lily scrambled tomatoes and eggs, which she remembered reading in a book on cooking oriental dishes, and stewed rice.

Lily never knew that tomatoes and eggs could make such a strange and delicious food. She likes to mix scrambled eggs with tomatoes into rice, which makes it more delicious.

After eating a large portion of rice and vegetables, Lily felt better in her stomach.

After tidying up the dishes, Lily felt that today was a bit strange, but she couldn't think of anything strange, until she got to the second floor, Lily suddenly remembered that she had made such a big noise just now, and Meow and Shasha didn't come over. They didn't cook last night, and they didn't know if they ate.

I opened the bedroom door, but I didn't see two of them. There was a small gap in the window. Lily guessed that she must have gone out for a while. With Rusha following Meow Miao, Lily was not worried.

Throwing herself into the bed, looking at the somewhat gray ceiling, there was nothing on the ceiling, and the light with shadows shone on it, those shadows were caused by the impure quality of the glass, Lily couldn't understand why Sne Do not change some good glass.

At the window, a gray mottled owl was pecking at the glass. Lily got up and opened the window. The gray owl grabbed today's newspaper and threw it in. Lily searched around but couldn't find Nat. The owl said: "I'll go downstairs to get the coins, just wait a moment."

The owl nodded and stood in the window.

thump, thump, along with the sound of footsteps and the sound of the stairs, Lily walked downstairs quickly, took out five copper Knuts from the coin box at the door, went to the kitchen and rummaged, and found a small piece of bread , took it and went upstairs together.

Put five Knuts into the owl's foot pocket, and put the bread crumbs on the windowsill. The owl glanced at the bread crumbs in disgust, and then flew away...

"Are owls so picky now?" Lily shook her head, cleaned up the bread crumbs, and lay back on the bed again. She didn't know how she was able to sleep on the chair all night.

Seeing the swaying shadows cast by the swaying leaves on the roof, Lily gradually closed her eyes and fell into a light sleep.

While half asleep and half awake, Lily heard the sound of the window opening, and then the sound of the pads gently touching the floor and the sound of scales sliding on the ground. After that, the area on the face was itchy and warm, and there were short hairs of meowing.

Snape returned to his home in Spider's End, the house had obviously been cleaned, and it was exceptionally clean and tidy. He had a bad time at Hogwarts yesterday. Although Dumbledore believed in him, the Ministry of Magic still sent someone to When I arrived at the school, I made a fake investigation and asked about it.In addition to dealing with them, he also had to deal with Dumbledore's attempt to get Sirius to the school.

Snape thought Dumbledore must be crazy, what good would it do the students to have that mad dog in the school!

He basically didn't close his eyes all night yesterday, so his eyes are red today.

A copy of "Daily Prophet" was placed on the table, the date on it was today, and the huge headline read "Minister of International Magic Exchange and Cooperation, House Elf Suspected Releaser of the Dark Mark". Ty Crouch's resume not only details all his previous deeds as the Minister of Magic Enforcement, but also exaggerates the fact that his son, Barty Crouch Jr., died in Azkaban Prison, Described as having nose and eyes.

Sneering, Snape threw the Prophet back on the table, took off his robe and hung it on a vertical hanger beside him.

What reputation would Azkaban have if an ordinary reporter could get in.

Walking up the creaking wooden stairs, Snape frowned, swung his wand down the stairs, and the creaking of the stairs stopped.

Satisfied, Snape walked up to the second floor. Lily's room and a small study were on the left, and Snape's large bedroom was on the right.

Snape stopped at the foot of the stairs and looked to Lily's door to the left.

At this time, the door of the room was closed tightly, and a golden light came out from the gap at the bottom of the door, shining on the wall opposite the door, and the wallpaper on the wall was bulging in some places, and the original coffee color had dropped a lot, revealing gray-white paper s color.

It wasn't until Snape saw the golden light dim that he realized he had been standing here for a long time.

After regaining his senses, Snape moved his already numb legs, and wobbled back to his bedroom on the right.

Snape's bedroom was very simple, except for a huge four-poster bed, there was only a dark green four-door wardrobe and a bulky table occupying a corner of the bedroom. Of course, if the footstool by the bed was considered furniture, there should be Four pieces of furniture.

Snape sat by the table, picked up the small black bag on the table, the golden grass patterns on it were still shining brightly, Snape picked up the wand, the tip of the wand slowly walked among the golden grass patterns, The color of the originally simple pattern gradually deepened, and the pattern gradually became more complicated. Only a golden grass pattern was drawn. Snape put down his wand, looking a little tired.

He took off his shoes and lay on the bed with his whole body covered by soft pillows, including his messy and knotted black mid-length hair.

Only the tall hooked nose tip is exposed.

The bedroom he slept in was his parents' room before, and the furniture here had been replaced, because the furniture he had when he was a child was useless at all, and Lily's bedroom was his previous room.

He remembered that the man who should be called his father had been drunk since he could remember, his mother had always been submissive, and he would never be soft when he beat her, and at that time she told herself to hide, hide, until the man because of Drank too much and fell asleep.

She would hold herself and cry, and after she finished crying, she would tell the stories about her and him. She told about his handsomeness, his business vision, and his tenderness and affection, but these stories were more similar to Snape's. It is a dream in a bubble of existence.

Sometimes he really wants to yell at that fool who has been immersed in a dream, tell her that everything will change, and wake her up to see the reality.

But in the end he didn't do anything, he silently watched every beating she suffered, silently endured every injury, until he went to Hogwarts - that magical place, the place he felt was his true love. place of belonging.

There he learned more potions, potions that can cure diseases that Muggles can't cure with a little bit, potions that can poison a Muggle with a little bit, and the method of Muggles can't be tested. Come out of the magic potion.

Later that man died, he thought she and himself were liberated, but he was wrong!Her heart died, after the death of the man who should have been her father.

So she followed in his footsteps and left, and the two people who were related to her all left him, but he still had Lily Evans!

But that sunny girl never belonged to him, the seven-year chase was just a long joke, and this joke was the only thing he didn't want to let go of, and he believed it would accompany him until the end of his life.

A patch of soft green pillow darkens and lightens over time until it reunites with the surrounding color.
