HP's Impassable Time

Chapter 40 Friends · Distance

Lily learned the result of the competition through Matthew's description. Two Hogwarts warriors won the first two places. Lily thought that this would make the principals of the other two schools jump their feet in anger.

And recently, when she was alone with her father, Lily often saw him covering his left forearm with his right hand. Lily didn't know what happened to his left forearm. Snape often wore long-sleeved robes that reached halfway to the palm of his hand. He never He couldn't pull up the sleeves on his arms, which made Lily wonder if he had been injured.

But after Snape discovered that Lily was interested in his left hand, Snape avoided showing the abnormality of his left arm in front of Lily, but Snape was even more anxious than before, although he hid it well One thing, I couldn't see any abnormality in him in class, but in private, Lily saw the frequency of his frowning soar, which made her very worried.

As for Lily falling into the water, it was indeed Pansy who did it. Pansy was so mad when she saw Draco holding Lily's hand, she didn't know what was wrong, she wanted to teach Lily a lesson, but she didn't know that Lily was Knowing how to water, she didn't want to kill Lily, and Draco didn't talk to Pansy until now after knowing it.

Lily is almost used to being injured and falling into a coma. Although she is very dissatisfied with Pansy, she feels much better after being visited by other people. Lily, who is satisfied with her stomach, no longer thinks too much about it. This matter is over, but Pansy's life in the castle is destined to be rough for a while. After all, it's one thing to remember a grudge, but another thing to be punished with a small punishment.

Draco seemed to have been apologizing to Lily for this incident, even though he was the one who rescued Lily with Abel.

The arrival of March did not bring warm air, the biting cold wind still occupied the high ground, and then Lily caught a gorgeous cold. After thanking Madam Pomfrey for the potion, although Lily really didn't want to have another steam baptism , but still drank the cold medicine with a bitter face, and then hid in Snape's office and couldn't die. After all, no one dared to enter Professor Snape's office casually. If you evaluate the scariest places in Hogwarts, one of them must be There is a place in the potions office.

Lily didn't get rid of the aftereffects caused by the cold medicine until Snape came back to pack the lesson plans before the last class in the afternoon. Lily, who was in good spirits, enthusiastically helped Snape organize the things to be used in the next class.

Then I went out of the office with Snape, and helped Snape get some things. In fact, they were just some lesson plans. Most of the things were in the classroom. Lily is very full. Anyway, the next class is History of Magic, and Lily doesn't really want to go.

Lily, who helped her father arrange things, realized that this class was for the fourth grade of Slytherin, and there were many people she knew.Draco also happened to come in from outside the door, Lily greeted Draco naturally and went out without staying in the classroom.

Draco walked to his seat after watching Lily's back disappear at the door of the classroom, Blaise patted Draco on the shoulder and said, "You don't need to be so depressed, I don't think bean sprouts are a grudge, you So what do you care about?"

Draco sighed and didn't speak, as if things always become weird when encountering Lily, he has always treated Pansy as a good friend, he knew that Pansy was a bit domineering sometimes, but he didn't expect Pansy to be so domineering Will push Lily into the water.

Pansy didn't sit with Draco or near him during the class, a class ended quickly, especially when the professor caught Harry Potter's pigtails - in class After reading the magazine, Draco's cheerful spirit made him unaware of the flow of time.

Then Gryffindor was deducted points, and the magazine was confiscated. Draco knew what Harry Potter was reading when he saw the cover of the magazine. There was a report about Harry Potter's headache, Gower showed it to himself in the morning.

Lily walked around the campus and found it boring, so she went back to Snape's office. She still took out the book on black magic and reviewed all the magic. Sitting on the sofa, looking at potion ingredients for a while, cleaning the table for a while, in short, it never stopped. If Lily knew it would be so boring, she might as well go to History of Magic.

Lily, who was bored, decided to go to Snape's private potion library to see if there was anything interesting. The Weasley twins recently said that a large sum of money might be in the account, and Lily asked them curiously what they hadn't said yet.

After checking Snape's potion library, I found that there was something missing, some materials for the transformation potion and a piece of gill grass. Lily felt that Snape should cast a stronger anti-theft spell on the door, otherwise it seemed that anyone could Come to take away things that don't belong to them, and feel sorry for my dad for a second.

Lily began to look at those potions unhappily. Some of these potions were familiar to her, and some she didn’t know. There was no label on those potions that she didn’t know, and she didn’t know what they were for. I have no interest in experimenting with myself, so I can only put down those unlabeled potions resentfully.

Before he left, he saw Snape walking in. It seemed that get out of class was over, so he could play with Abel and the others.

So as soon as Snape asked Lily to leave, Lily left in a good manner, and ran into Principal Karkaroff who was in a hurry, and Lily noticed that there was a black spot on his arm Something like a tattoo, because it was just a quick glance, I couldn't see it clearly, and then Lily saw him enter the door of the potion library that was not closed in time, Lily was very curious what Principal Karkaroff could do with his father , so quietly walked back, and eavesdropped on the conversation between the two from outside the door through the open door.

The voice was not very clear, Karkaroff's voice sounded a little panicked, he kept repeating what he was back, what to do, etc., but Snape occasionally responded in a very calm tone, Lily vaguely heard something Mark, Dark Lord and other words, at this time someone patted herself from behind, which startled Lily so much that her heart almost jumped out of her throat. Seeing that it was Harry, Lily quickly silenced gesture, and then heard the quarrel inside suddenly amplified.

"It's a sign, and you and I both know what it means!"

"Then run away! You coward." The metal rivets on the thick wooden door of the potion vault seemed to be about to jump off, and Lily didn't even have time to cast the invisibility spell on herself.

Menri Kakaroff pulled up the sleeve of his left arm. Although the mark on the arm was somewhat faint, the black in some places was already very deep.

Lily remembered that mark, and she and Rusha laughed at this—the Dark Mark—the symbol of the Death Eaters, and Lily finally knew why Snape always covered his left forearm, because there was one with Karkaroff same markup.

Karkaroff stared at the two little ones at the door. Among them, Lily's obvious eavesdropping posture made him very annoyed. He stared at Lily bitterly, then put down his sleeves vigorously, and left in a hurry.

"Lily, I think you should go back to the dormitory!" Lily can guarantee that she heard the creak of Snape's teeth, she didn't answer, and she ran away without looking at Harry.

Harry, who was left embarrassed, and Snape, who was visibly angry, were relatively more embarrassed.

Just as Harry was about to leave, Snape suddenly stopped Harry: "Potter! Where are you going?"

"Congratulations on your performance in Black Lake, it's really amazing, you used gill grass, right?"

"Yes, Professor." Harry really didn't want to stay here for another second, he tried to see the series of behaviors Snape did to him from other angles, but all failed, none of them could stand still Poor, he could only read malice from Snape's expression, seeing himself in his dark eyes was always a disgusting mistake, except from what Snape had heard about his father Knowing that they must have formed a beam when they were in school, and that everything he did to himself was because of his father, or some ridiculous name of his own savior.But is it necessary to vent your anger on yourself?After all, his father is dead, and everyone knows what happened to the name of the savior.

"What a genius!" Snape led Harry into his potion library, "Gill sac grass is a rare herb, and it can't be found in ordinary gardens, and this one too." Snape Nepe took a very small green bottle from a side shelf,

"Veritaserum, as long as a small drop can make people tell their secrets, so..." Snape paused, and then continued, "...if you dare to steal my personal safe I'm afraid I'll accidentally drop a few drops in your breakfast."

"I didn't steal anything."

"Don't try to lie to me!"

After the unpleasant parting with Snape, Harry's heart was full of mud horses galloping, what the hell!It is not my pleasure to find so many things on myself every day.

An angry Harry saw Lily waiting at the stairs before entering the dormitory, "Well, I'm sorry! I really didn't have the courage to face the professor. Just now the professor's face was so dark that ink dripped, so I couldn't hold back. Run away first, the professor didn't make things difficult for you!"

With clasped hands, Lily raised her hands in front of her face, her eyes were teary, and she pretended to be pitiful, but her skills were almost at full level.

Harry looked at Lily who had disappeared all of a sudden, speechless, and really didn't know what to say.

"No, the professor just said something to me." Harry felt that what the professor told him had nothing to do with what Lily eavesdropped just now, so he said it realistically.

"Great!" Lily patted her chest, as if she finally let out a sigh of relief, and then it seemed that the pitiful expression just now didn't appear, "I was so scared at the time."

Harry rolled his eyes, recalled the professor's expression just now, and said with a strange expression: "Didn't you say that he is your father? Why are you still so afraid of him?"

Lily blushed all of a sudden, "I didn't think so much at the time, you can run and wait for training!"

Harry foolishly waiting to be reprimanded: ...

Because Lili really has nothing to do with the competition or other things, so the next two months will be spent in serious study and class. This semester, Lily hopes to get a better score in the exam, and it is best to be in the top three. , but after thinking about my other unsatisfactory results in several subjects, I still lamented that I was thankful for being in the top five.

The arrival of June means that exams and final competitions are about to begin.Since Lily and Harry met at the door of Gryffindor's dormitory that day, they haven't seen each other again, and even Hermione doesn't appear in the library very often, so Abel and Draco are the main members of Lily's study group. Occasionally, Alan will play a few guest appearances, and they often meet in the library, so most of the questions that Lily does not know are consulted by Draco. Draco's attitude is also much more intimate, and he no longer has a little alienation like before.

In this good atmosphere, Draco felt that he was one step closer to Lily, but it seemed a bit difficult to make further progress, which made Draco, who had been closer because of the relationship, fall into distress again.

"Lily! Lily! Look at this, you've appeared in the newspaper!" Matthew's loud voice suddenly appeared in the library, which made Mrs. Pince come over dissatisfied and warn him that if he made any more noise, she would Kick him out of the library.

After a lot of fuss, Lily finally saw what the so-called self-reporting was all about.

Draco narrowed his eyes slightly. He had read the report in the morning, and deliberately told everyone to hide it from Lily. He didn't expect that he couldn't guard against Matthew's big mouth!

""Daily Prophet" exclusive disclosure: Porter often passed out in class, and often complained about the scar on his forehead (inflicted by the well-known mysterious person). Last Monday, during the prophecy class, our reporter witnessed Seeing Potter's sudden rage, he yelled that his scar was too painful to continue the class. According to St. Mungo's spell damage expert: 'Potter's brain may have been affected by the mysterious man's attack!"

"According to a Slytherin student who did not want to be named: 'Harry can speak snakes, and he tried to control a snake to attack a student in his second grade.' A Slytherin student named Lily Morin also revealed the fact that Parseltongue, the ability to talk to snakes, has long been thought to be a Insidious witchcraft. In fact, one of the best practitioners of this contemporary practice is the famous 'Mystery Man'."

"A member of the "Witchcraft Defense League", who did not want to be named, suggested that any wizard who could understand Parseltongue should be investigated. Personally, I must be very suspicious of the motives of anyone who can talk to snakes, since We know that venomous snakes are used in the most insidious forms of witchcraft, and are historically associated with villains. Likewise, 'Anyone who associates with such vicious animals as wolves and giant macs is bound to have some violent tendencies.'”

Above, the whole report only mentioned himself speciously in the middle and connected his ability to speak Parseltongue with Harry's headache.

It's not a secret that Lily can speak snake language, except for some low-grade students who don't know much about it, it's basically an open secret, but it's really...

Lily shook her head, thinking that there was nothing to make a fuss about, and no one would do anything to her because of this.

"Matthew, you made too much fuss, you just mentioned it casually, it's okay."

Lily thought it was all right, but others didn't think so. The "Daily Prophet" is the main newspaper in the wizarding world, and its credibility has always been at the top of all newspapers. Once the information on it is published, what will those who don't know Lily think? can think of.

Draco still looked at Lily with worried eyes, wondering who the hell is that Slytherin?

"How can it be all right, Lily, your heart is too big!" Matthew couldn't help but grow up again, and then Mrs. Pince warned again.

"You! What about you! Go out and don't disturb other people's reading." Mrs. Pince pointed at Matthew displeased. Because Matthew didn't come often, Mrs. Pince didn't remember Matthew's name.

"Mrs. Pince, I was wrong, I was wrong, I must keep my voice down this time, really." Matthew pretended to be pitiful, but obviously Mrs. Pince didn't buy it, and drove Matthew out anyway. Lily sighed, and gave Matthew a wink, telling him to wait outside, and she will come out soon.

Lily packed up her things briefly, and sat down Draco who had already stood up to go out with her, "I'll be back in a while, you don't have to worry."

Then I met up with Matthew who was waiting at the door, "Don't worry too much, there won't be too many people paying attention to this matter in two days, don't worry!" After all, Matthew was kicked out of the library just to tell himself the news Lily patted Matthew on the shoulder to reassure him.

"But the matter of the mysterious person is more sensitive. It's not a good thing for you to be involved in these matters!" Matthew still frowned, but this time his voice was much softer.

"The mysterious man has disappeared for 13 years, and the name of the savior is more eye-catching. I deliberately wrote it like this to attract some attention. Don't pay too much attention to it." Lily feels that the mysterious man that everyone is worried about has disappeared for 13 years. I don't think everyone is so surprised.

"But the Dark Mark appeared in the game last summer, and no one knows whether he will make a comeback." Matthew was still worried.

"That has nothing to do with us. Don't worry about Matthew. It's so difficult that we can still worry about things that will disappear in the future? Just live in the present."

Matthew looked into Lily's eyes, as Lily always did, as if nothing could move her.He pressed his fingers irritably, and there were a few crisp sounds from the joints of his fingers, "Forget it, that's the only way to go." Matthew really had no good way, he was just a little surprised when he found Lily's name at first. .

Then the two saw Draco and Abel come out, and Abel had Lily's little black bag in his hand.

"It's almost time for dinner. Let's pack up our things and go eat first!" Draco and Abel are already familiar with each other, and knowing that Abel doesn't talk much, he explained when Lily took the small bag arrive.

Lily nodded, and they walked towards the hall.

The third game is on June 24th. For everyone to watch the game better, all the exams are over before the game, but the scores of some subjects have not yet come out.

Lily felt that she studied well and performed at a normal level during the exam, so she didn't have any regrets. Matthew also did well in the exam this time, as can be seen from his excited appearance when he left the exam room.

On the afternoon of the 24th, the venue for the third match was announced. On the Quidditch pitch, it was surrounded by a huge curtain before. I guessed it, but now it's just confirmed.

The dinner was very sumptuous, and it reminded Lily of a famous painting "The Last Supper" that she once knew from Mrs. Luo Li in the Muggle world. meeting.

This feeling came and went quickly, Lily suppressed the feeling of trepidation, and heard the news that Principal Dumbledore announced that he would lead everyone to the venue in 5 minutes.

The curtains around the Quidditch arena were pulled down, and the auditorium was a semicircle with many steps. Lily, Alan and Draco were sitting together. Draco should have been sitting in the fourth grade Location.

Seeing Lily sitting next to him with a natural expression, eating snacks and passing some to himself from time to time, Draco knew that Lily only regarded him as a friend, and Draco hadn't figured out how to take the relationship further. He was very worried that the two would always be like friends, and what worried him most was that Lily didn't like him, but the good news was that Lily didn't like anyone.

After the judges gave a brief introduction to the competition, the whistle blew, and seeing Harry and Cedric Diggory running into the huge maze together, and seeing the figures of the two disappearing into the depths of the maze, Lily's heart-pounding feeling reappeared. When it hit, the stuffy chest was very uncomfortable, so I stopped eating.

"What's the matter Lily? Are you uncomfortable?" Draco noticed Lily's strangeness immediately, and Lily shook her head, "It's okay." She put away the snacks, she didn't feel very comfortable, and she didn't eat anymore Appetite for something.

After a while, the second whistle sounded, and Lily saw that she didn't know how Krum and Professor Moody walked together before entering the maze alone after hearing the whistle.

The last one was Fleur Delacour, who stood there and kissed her sister, and her figure slowly disappeared at the entrance of the maze. Lily knew that the next thing was to wait.

People around were talking about who would be the first person, and the atmosphere was very lively, but Lily was like a person from another dimension, unusually silent.

Time passed bit by bit, Lily couldn't sit still anymore, she felt that something in the air was taken away, she began to have difficulty breathing, she felt that she was a little nervous, Shasha also followed Lily today, circling around her Arm, aware that something is wrong with Lily's condition.

"What's the matter?" A rustling voice sounded, and recently it has become more and more like an arm bracelet, and it doesn't talk much, maybe it's because of getting older.

"It's okay." The surrounding voices were very noisy, and Lily was not worried that others would hear her speaking Parseltongue, even if they found out, it would be fine.

Draco has been paying attention to Lily, and he is not very interested in the result of the game. Seeing Lily's distress, he also frowned.

A red firework lit up in the night sky, and someone withdrew from the competition. After a long time, Fleur, who was not in good spirits, was helped back with a thick towel, and she insisted on seeing the result.

There are only three warriors left in the arena.

Then there was the second red firework, and the unconscious Krum was carried to the medical tent. After a while, Lily saw what Madam Pomfrey and Dumbledore said. He hurried to the tent, but Karkaroff, who usually had Krum as his eyeball, didn't show up.

There are only two warriors left.

No matter who won, the final winner of the Goblet of Fire was Hogwarts. The students of the other two colleges were obviously not in good spirits, and after a long time, there was no news, and the professors were still patrolling around the venue.

Finally, there was a 'beep' sound in the air, and in the center of the field, some colors distorted, and then red and yellow appeared there, and a shiny trophy fell to the grass on one side, Lily suddenly stand up.

At this time, the music played for the winner sounded, but Lily heard that kind of sad cry, a cry like a dream.

This is not just sadness, but also fear, fear and hatred, but the crying without joy is buried in the sound of deafening music, unable to whine.
