Yes," said Dumbledore to the room. "It seems to me that we have no choice but to accept the truth.Lillian and Harry were both selected to compete, so they had to..."

"Dumbledore - but -"

"My dear Madame Maxime, if you have any good suggestions, I'm all ears."

Dumbledore waited for her to speak.She opened her mouth and turned her anger on Lilian, "Then do I want to say that she violated the rules and put her name in it, or that Dumbledore didn't draw your age line well enough?"

"It's not impossible," said Dumbledore modestly.

"It's ridiculous." Professor McGonagall disagreed. "Albus didn't make a mistake at all, and these students didn't put their names in it."

"And you have to know," Snape said more mercilessly than ever, "in terms of your interests, can't two fourth-year students make you secretly happy? If you are still dissatisfied, if there is I am all ears to any way to keep them safe from participating in the competition!"

Madam Maxime's chest heaved, and she seemed very annoyed by Snape's stern demeanor.Karkaroff looked at Snape, as if he didn't expect him to do this for the students of his house.The air became quiet, and everyone seemed to have nothing to say.

Mr. Bagman finally broke the silence. "So shall we start?" He rubbed his hands together and looked around with a smile. "Is it time to give instructions to the players? Batty, are you interested in helping?"

Mr. Crouch seemed suddenly awakened from deep thought.

"Okay, command, yes, the first task..."

Barty moved closer to the firelight.Harry thought he was sick.The eye circles are black, and the dry skin is as thin as paper.But at the Quidditch World Cup, he wasn't like that.

"The first mission is to test your guts," he told Harry, Lillian, Fleur and Krum. "Of course we won't tell you what kind of mission this is. Facing the unknown, courage is very important for a wizard, very important."

"The first task will be carried out on November 24, in front of all referees and students."

"In the process of completing the competition task, the contestants cannot ask the teacher for help, nor can they accept any form of assistance from the teacher. The contestants will carry out the first task with the help of the wand. After completing the first task, they will be informed about the second task. Task information. In view of the time-consuming nature of the competition, players can be exempted from the test at the end of the period."

Mr. Crouch turned to Dumbledore. "Albus, that's all I suppose, is it?"

"I think so." Dumbledore looked at Crouch with concern. "Are you sure you won't stay at Hogwarts tonight? Barty?"

"No more, Dumbledore, I must go back to the Ministry," said Mr. Crouch. "It's been a rough, busy time... I've put young Wetherby in charge, and he's been very enthusiastic. A little too enthusiastic, to be honest." He hadn't remembered Percy's last name yet.But this time, Percy will also be there.

"Why don't you at least have a drink before you go?"

"Barty, stay here, I want to stay here." Bagman said happily. "You know what's going to happen at Hogwarts. It's better to be here than to be in the office."

"I don't think so, Ludo." Crouch returned to that impatient look.

"Professor Karkaroff - Madame Maxime - how about a drink before bed?" asked Dumbledore.

But Mrs. Maxim had put her arms around Fleur's shoulders and walked out quickly.Harry heard them talking quickly in French.Karkaroff gestured to Krum.They both left quietly.

Lilian and Harry looked at each other, "Do you think anyone will believe that we didn't vote for the name?"

"Well—rarely," said Harry.

"If it wasn't for the fact that you laughed so happily when you heard your name, and almost rushed in here," Snape said angrily, "then Lillian would be in a lot less trouble!"

"But Lillian was happy, wasn't she?" Harry smiled at her.Lilian also nodded with a smile.Harry went on, "We can help each other, it's going to be a nice adventure!"

"I just hope you don't get her into trouble." Snape waved his robe and walked out.

Dumbledore looked at them with a smile, "Okay, go back and rest. Be careful in the next game."

The two nodded and left the room.The hall was empty, and they said their goodbyes and returned to their lounges.Lilian is okay, because many people are biting their ears, this form is better than Harry being praised for his skill in casting his name as soon as he walked in the door.

"Do you know what they're talking about?" Draco said.

"I can probably guess it." Lilian shrugged, "Let's think about it, is there a saying that Professor Snape covered me up and voted for me?"

"Yes, but very few."

"Harry and I must have agreed to cast names together."

"Much."

"Then what's left are all kinds of relationships and personal shortcomings between us?"

"All hits." Draco said, "Although the competition hasn't started yet... But, would you like to be invited by me to the Christmas ball?"

"I'm waiting for someone. Although I told him during the summer vacation..."

"I see." Draco said, "It's okay. I also thought that if the kid found out, he would never let this opportunity go. I don't want to make it too ugly. But if he doesn't invite you, come anytime Find me."

"Okay." Although he misunderstood, but...it's about the same, anyway, Lilian wants to dance with Severus, and with such rumors...it must be very interesting, right?It would be nice if they had previous memories...it must be interesting!

The author has something to say: Lilian: "Aha, accidentally tricked Severus."

Harry: "No, no, I'd rather you cheat me like this than hang out with that...pervert all the time!"

Severus: "What did you say?"

Harry: "Yes, you Patronus is still a doe, a pervert who covets your daughter's grandma!"

Severus: "Even at this moment when you admit that Lillian is my daughter, I'm not at all happy. Potter, you probably forgot that Lillian is our daughter."

Harry: "Hey, when you call Potter, do you call me or my dad, pervert?" You're disgusting!

Severus: "Harry?"

Harry: "..." I was wrong.

Gray Fang holding his chin: The author finds some candy for himself.It may be fake sugar, but there is always a name for sugar.

☆、News direction

Before the game, Harry got a lot of cold shoulder, as did Lillian, but they didn't care because they believed in each other and had the support of their friends.Of course Ron's dissatisfaction made Harry sad.But he believed that Ron would eventually know his difficulties, but now he was a little uncomfortable without Ron.

For Lilian, Potions class is still the best place to rest, with Severus, Harry, Draco, and some friends, gathered in a classroom, it gives her a lot of relaxation , which was almost the same for Harry.

As for the difference, it must be the professor of potions.

Originally, Lilian had prepared an antidote when everyone went to see the school students last time.Snape asked her to make another potion.At this moment the door of the classroom rang, and Snape went to open it. It was Colin Creevey, and he came to tell the two brave men to go upstairs.

"They still have a Potions class for an hour, and they will go back after class." Snape said coldly.

"But . . . Mr. Bagman told them to go," he said uneasily. "All the brave ones are going. I think they want to be photographed."

Snape raised his eyebrows, "If it's just for taking pictures, I think you can go back." He closed the door.

There was no sound outside the door, probably he didn't have the courage to knock on the door again.But a few minutes later, the door rang again. "Sir—" He panted heavily, probably running back, "It's to check the wand, and all warriors must go."

Lily boiled the potion without distraction, but she also heard what he said, but she didn't want to go.She handed Harry the wand, "Help me take it up, and let me know if you have any questions."

Harry took the wand, hesitating for a moment.He hoped that Lilian would go with him.It's just... she loves potions so much.

Lilian glanced at Harry, and pulled her wand out of his hand again.Turn off the fire and cast a spell at the same time. "let's go."

"go together?"

"Let's go together." Lilian nodded, and then said to Snape, "Don't let anyone touch my cauldron."

Snape nodded and let the two go out.

Lilian and Harry, led by Creevey, went upstairs to a small room.The other two warriors have arrived.Also Ludo Bagman and Rita Skeeter speaking.

Rita Skeeter was even happier than Mr. Bagman to see them coming.She wanted to do an interview with both of them, but both Harry and Lillian declined.It's just... Rita, who is obsessed with "news", will not give up easily.They were dragged into a small room.

"It's really amazing." The suspicion in her eyes made people uncomfortable, "two students from different colleges in the same grade, one is the famous Harry Potter... this Miss Lillian Prince , I wonder if you are honored to be competing with Harry Potter?"

"It's not an honor, it's a pleasure." Lilian knew what kind of person Rita was, and she only listened to what she wanted to hear, so... no matter what she answered, it would be distorted and horrible.

"Oh...that's really honest," Rita was very satisfied, "does it also make you want to participate in the competition with Harry?"

"No, because this competition is too dangerous no matter what." Lilian said.

"So, Harry who dared to challenge is really brave, isn't he?" Rita saw that Harry was not cooperating, and continued to ask Lilian, "I think there will be many girls in school with such a hero." Like him? I wonder if you are one of them?"

"No, I don't like him." Lilian shook her head and looked at Rita meaningfully. "I don't mind talking about our relationship, but to be honest, your news doesn't seem as good as you think."

Lilian looked at her who was a little embarrassed, and reminded with a smile, "There is no student in the school who doesn't know about us. If you write those things into a report, then I have to say, unless your report is very exciting, otherwise you will gossip about us." The two-year students will not buy it. Of course, you can also write it for people outside the school. But I believe that a self-motivated lady like you will not focus on such a little thing in front of you.”

Lilian chuckled, and looked at the astonished and urgent expression on her face before slowly opening her mouth, "News, if it doesn't start with a big start that grabs people's attention, it will slowly dissipate afterwards. In the long river of time, you will never be remembered again. Do you understand? What you need is not only news, but also the courage to write.

What you write is different from others, and what you do is different from most people. Doesn’t it mean that you have not been subtly influenced, but you have discovered the real truth?If you use this to fight against the powerful... Then from now on, your word is the holy word, and everyone, everyone, will believe Rita Skeeter instead of Rita Skeeter of the Daily Prophet.

How much you want to achieve is up to you.Don't forget your ambitions and don't live up to your talents. Lilian whispered another word in her ear, then nodded, "Farewell. "

Lillian pulled Harry out.Harry took a deep breath, "Are you hinting at her?"

"That's right, it's not interesting to write about the same things as everyone else, and it's even less interesting to write about things that everyone knows. If you want to do it, you have to make a big event. Moreover, you have to strike hard." Lilian stretched her shoulders. After that, she was very motivated.They went back to the classroom and sat in the chairs.

While they were gone, the referees had arrived.At the velvet-covered table sat four referees: Professor Karkaroff, Madame Maxime, Mr. Crouch and Ludo Bagman.Rita Skeeter also came over, her expression was a little dazed, but she quickly regained her senses and chose a seat to sit down.Harry saw her pull the parchment out of her bag again, lay it flat on her lap, suck the nib of her pen, and put it back on the parchment.

"Let me introduce, Mr. Ollivander." Dumbledore sat down at the referee's table and said to the players: "He will check your wands to make sure they are in good condition before the match begins."

Harry looked around and saw an old wizard standing quietly by the window, his eyes were large but dark.He's seen him before.He's a wandmaker, and he bought a wand from him three years ago in Diagon Alley.

"Miss Delacour, please come out first." Mr. Ollivander said and stood in the middle.

Fleur Delacour strode forward and handed him her wand.

"Hmm..." He pondered, his slender fingers turning the wand like a baton.There was some pink and gold fire from the wand, and then he brought the wand up to his eyes and looked closely.

"Yes, 9.25 inches, not easy to fold, rosewood, and... oh my god."

"Contains a veela hair," Fleur said. "My grandma's."

"That's right," said Mr. Ollivander, "yes, although I've never used Veela hair in my own wand making, it's still a pretty sensitive wand... Anyway, it's up to you, as long as it suits you." ..."

Mr. Ollivander ran his fingers along the wand, apparently looking for scratches and bumps.Afterwards he mumbled, "Orchids in bloom!" and a bouquet of flowers bloomed from the tip of the wand.

"Very good, very good, the working condition is not bad." Mr. Ollivander pulled out the flowers and handed them to Fleur together with the wand. "Mr Kroom, it's your turn."

Viktor Krum stood up, bowed head, and hurried towards Ollivander, wand drawn, frowning, standing there with his hands in the pockets of his robes.

"Well," said Mr. Ollivander, "if I'm not mistaken, Gregorovich made it, and he's a good cane-maker. Though he's never made mine in the same style as..."

He raised his wand, turned it around before his eyes, and watched very carefully. "That's right, hornbeams and dragon heartstrings?" He glanced at Karen, who nodded, "Thicker than normal, quite stable, 1 inches... Flying birds!"

There was a shot from the hornbeam wand, and from its magic end grew several chirping birds, and they flew out of the window, flying in the bright sunshine.

"Very well," Mr. Ollivander returned the wand to Krum. "And then... Mr. Potter?"

Hart got to his feet and walked past Keren to Ollivander, who offered him his wand.

"Ah, yes." Ollivander's dark eyes lit up. "Yes, yes, I still remember."

Harry nodded slightly, too, and he remembered.With two wands made from the same phoenix feather, their masters were truly sworn enemies.Harry thought of the dream of the summer vacation, although he told Sirius, but... some countermeasures have not yet appeared.He didn't tell anyone, and he didn't want them to worry.

But he could sense that his duel with Voldemort was getting closer.Ollivander double-checked his wand, which was also working fine.

"Miss Prince?" Ollivander took Lilian's wand, but frowned, "It's strange, this is indeed produced by Ollivander, but I... I don't remember when, How did you do it? And if you look carefully, it is a little different from my method."

Of course, the source of this wand was Ollivander twenty years later.

However, he didn't think too much about it. He checked it and returned it to Lilian after making sure that the work was in good condition.

After finally wrapping up, the Daily Prophet needed a photo.Rita seems to have made her mark, and some pictures were taken at her request, and they were pushed a little too far.Fortunately, they eventually went back.Lilian also returned to the classroom to continue her potion.

Harry insisted on going with Lillian, as it would be nice for him to watch her make potions.It was only when two people entered the classroom that they realized that there was another person inside.Snape was sitting behind the desk.In that form, it doesn't matter whether he wants to admit that he didn't wait for Lilian to come back.

unwise!He should have expected Potter to follow.

The author has something to say: I want to write something small on a whim, which has nothing to do with the main text.This brain hole may open another article.

the following:

Tom said that he just wanted to know where the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets was. Why did he come to the Room of Requirement?Why is the Room of Response as long as the □□ area and those books still can't be taken down?Forget it, let's figure out the reason first, maybe I can get some unexpected good things.

Tom went out.

No one saw Tom.

Oh, no one can see Tom.

what happened?Tom looked questioning.However, it is definitely right to go to the principal when encountering problems, since I am a student he loves and hates.Hmph, when he knows I'm a descendant of Slytherin, he should kneel and lick me! (Actually, Tom didn’t know that the headmaster just liked such outstanding students. What kind of love and hate, it’s completely self-indulgent. However, the big devil has always liked to make up brains, and we don’t blame him).

But when Tom walked to the principal's office, he saw Dumbledore, who was suddenly much older, walking towards the principal's office (hahaha, the old man with gray hair. He cared too much about the students and his hair was all white! He deserved it)

Unfortunately, not even Dumbledore could see him.

Contempt, I thought you were my destined opponent, but it turned out to be nothing more than that.

I had no choice but to find a way by myself.

Tom came among the students to see what was going on here.Because Tom felt that this might not be his original world.

There are a few girls sneaking around.

Tom looked over.Then his three views were shattered.

These girls are very good.Blondes and redheads are a team, they are generally more beautiful, either Slytherin or Ravenclaw.

Black or brunette is a team, normal looking, either Gryffindor or Hufflepuff.

The division is very clear and the theme is also very clear.

The redhead thought Voldemort was fine.

The brunette thought Dumbledore was fine.

Tom was dumbfounded.

Didn't Voldemort give himself a secret name?But domineering.But why do they sound so strange?

"Voldemort is so poor." "My sweet little Tom." "Riddle was right, if you had such a miserable childhood." "He was abandoned by his parents!" "We will never allow you to reveal the plot! "

excuseme?Who has the same name and surname as me?But Tom's reason told him that they were talking about him...

When did I ask you to sympathize with me!I don't deserve it at all... no, don't have sympathy please?You should be in awe of me instead of talking about my dirty blood!You idiots!How could such a person appear in Slytherin and Ravenclaw, has the sorting hat finally broken?

besides!I am Voldemort!Fuck you poor!You are poor!Your whole family is poor!And sad!Who are your parents?I will not let them go!When I go back, I won't let you guys have the chance to slander me!

Wait, why do they know so much?Others don't seem to know either.And that plot...

Tom decided that in order to succeed in the future, he must bear this insult and listen!It’s really ¥^*#$¥&*@.

To be continued...

☆, thinking about each other

"Severus, are you waiting for me?" Lilian happily walked to the table and looked at the potion.The effect of the potion still faded a bit.But no pity.What a coincidence, it seemed to be the only time they were alone together.

Should there be some interaction at this time?But... let them make potions?This seemed to be a bit embarrassing for Harry. Although Harry's potions were not bad, they definitely couldn't keep up with their speed.

Snape didn't want to leave, Harry didn't want to leave, so they found a seat in silence and sat down to watch Lilian finish the potion.

But in order to occupy a good seat, they sat a little close.Harry watched Lilian's figure silently, and the smell of potion wafted away.This is not their homework for today's class, and this smell is not just the smell of medicine... Harry was awakened by a cool smell, only to realize that what he smelled before was actually the smell of Snape's body.

To be honest, Harry always thought that someone as slovenly as Snape...wait a minute, maybe he was impressed too much before, but now he has a refreshing image.Now there is a smell of potion, which is really suitable.For such a taste, the first reaction is to hate it, but it is surrounded by endless sadness.Harry bent over slightly, tired from the sudden tightness in his chest.

"Potter?" Snape was the first to notice Harry's strangeness, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Harry straightened up, and the feeling just now disappeared. "By the way, as Mr. Bagman said before, there are some things about the game. The first test is courage. I don't know what I will face."

"Some rather scary magical animals. According to the original age, it wouldn't be a Boggart. But two of the four warriors are your age...maybe."

"If it was the original age, what do you think they would do?" Harry sat up straight and looked at him.

"If you ask me, it's not too much for the opponent to be a dragon." Snape was worried, and turned to look at Lilian.Only to find that Lilian was looking at him with a smile, as if she was looking at such a pleasing picture.

Snape turned his head, and saw Harry looking back just now, the dungeon seemed to be as cold as the wind.He frowned, stood up, and carefully checked Lilian's potion, "It's well done, it's getting late, you guys go back."

Lilian talked to Harry, who was still distracted, and bid farewell to Snape.

Snape was holding Lillian's potion tightly in his hand, and these two people, Lillian...and Potter.

For the next two weeks, life for Harry and Lillian went on as before.Ron was angry for a while, but Harry was not too anxious or angry.It seemed that he felt in his heart that Ron would eventually recover.And to say something heartless, Ron's anger was a trivial matter in Harry's eyes, and he had other people by his side.

Although Lilian pointed out a "bright way" to Rita Skeeter.But Rita finally couldn't hold back and sent some reports to warm up the atmosphere.For example... the relationship between Snape and Harry.And... Lilian was not involved in the whole process.

Lilian was about to applaud her "talent".Among so many Snape & Lillian, Harry & Lillian, Draco & Lillian, ALL Lillian, it's really not easy to find some Snape & Harry memes.And... it's even more difficult to find the meme of two people who basically have no intersection.

Lilian read the newspaper carefully. Although many of them were fabricated, some of the plots were well connected.In particular, she didn't write in a vulgar way that if you like her, then I also like her so that you can't be with her.But from another angle.

For example, "You made me miserable back then, and I will take revenge on your son." Although it is the same routine, such rhetoric is obviously in line with the image, and it is lively and interesting.Anyone who is familiar with Harry doesn't know that Snape hates Harry because he looks like his father?And... There is actually nothing wrong with such a statement. Even if someone points it out, she can still defend herself.

She really didn't expect that just a few words would change her so much.

But such reports brought Snape a lot of infamy, especially when Harry muttered that this was the case.But when he firmly denied that Snape had any "hate begets love" story with him, everyone would make fun of him.

In fact, of course everyone would not believe that Snape and Harry could have any love.But can't hold back the joke is funny.Especially after Rita Skeeter posted a public, witty and humorous apology letter a week later, such a joke became a rumor, and then... maybe it became a fact of word of mouth.

Lilian was delighted to hear it.She doesn't care if two free people love each other, but she doesn't reject it and is happier if everyone in the family loves each other.

Harry found that his mood changes became more and more strange recently. Either he was suddenly irritable, or he was suddenly sad. He could feel the intertwining of sweet dreams and nightmares every day, but he forgot them all the moment he opened his eyes.He wrote to Sirius and was convinced that it was from Voldemort's connection to him.

Sirius' reply was quick, but he just told him to be calm.Originally, the Ministry of Magic thought that Bella and Wormtail went to find Voldemort together, but obviously the two were separated.Bella has been making troubles, coming and going quickly, and seems to be constantly changing places to look for.And Wormtail disappeared without a trace, and there was no trace of him at all.

As for the connection, Sirius had told him about the magic of Occlumency, and had reluctantly mentioned Snape in his letter, since he was a master of Occlumency.He didn't accept Snape emotionally, but he knew that Snape would teach Harry better than him.

And... It seemed that because of Lilian, he felt that Snape was not as he imagined.

So in the end, Harry was called into Dumbledore's office, and there was a man with an ugly face in the office.Of course it was Snape.Dumbledore noticed that although Snape was angry, he didn't make much rebuttal.It seemed to be his illusion, Snape shouldn't have such a reaction, it could be called a gentle reaction.

Harry followed dejectedly, and for a moment he almost didn't want to set foot in Snape's office.

"Hold your head up for me." Snape closed the door. "This is your question, and you brought it up yourself. I'm the one who got involved, understand?"

"Then why don't you refuse?" Harry was shocked by the disgust he hadn't seen for a long time, and directly found a sofa and sat down.

"That sofa is for Lillian." Snape looked down at him.

"Lilian and I don't know each other." The corner of Harry's lips twitched, "Okay, let's get started."

"Do you know what Occlumency is?"

Harry shook his head honestly.Snape took a book from the bookshelf and handed it to him, "Don't let me see that it was returned any differently than it is now. Now, read it well before you come back."

"That……"

Snape put a few more bottles of dreamless potion in the past, "Its effect will gradually weaken. If you don't want yourself to suffer, just read the book and recite it as soon as possible. Now, you can go."

Harry put the book and potions away neatly. "By the way, have you read Rita's newspaper..."

He was thrown out.It seems to be read.Harry shook his head, wanting to discuss it with him.Skeeter is also too unconventional, although it is a bit weird to talk about himself and Lilian together.

The brain defense book is simpler than he imagined. Harry marveled at this idea, as if he had read it before and implemented it smoothly... This feeling, he also had it when he was calling for the protection of the gods.

However, in order to be lazy and not have any nightmares recently, Harry planned to prolong his "familiar reading" time, so as to minimize the time he and Snape met.
