[HP] Illusion

Although it was already May, the night breeze was slightly cool, and the breeze blew the hair of the two people standing by the window. Lily brushed her hair unconsciously, looking a little absent-minded.

James roughly told the story of seeing the owl in Prince's office, and of course omitted the reason why they went to Prince.So when Lily looked at James with a sorry face, James quickly realized: "Are you going to find Prince?"

"Isn't it still time for curfew?" Lily smiled reluctantly, but this smile was obviously very different from when the two met just now, and it looked much worse than crying.

"Your expression tells me that Prince is not the person you are sending the letter to, is it?" James said sharply.

What happened tonight was like a mess of twine, he could only occasionally pull out a thread, but he was not sure if he could untangle even a small part of it along it.Moreover, Lily was suddenly involved in this matter, which made James himself a little flustered.

"It can be said that," Lily twitched the corners of her mouth, "but before things are clear, I don't want to draw conclusions."

"That……"

Lily interrupted directly: "I want to go alone, is that okay? Please."

James' half-open lips finally closed again.

"And please don't tell anyone else about it."

"Of course," James confessed after thinking for a while, "Sirius stayed with me in Prince's office just now."

"Okay, then please don't tell anyone else, including Remus and Peter." Lily looked at James and begged in a low voice.

It was the first time James saw such an expression on the girl's face, and he felt inexplicably sour. The girl didn't let him intervene, which didn't make him unhappy, but he was worried that the girl would suffer something that she shouldn't have to bear. "I will, and... Lily, if you need any help, I hope you can tell me, I will always be here."

The answer to James was a hug from Lily.

Also the first, but James believes it won't be the last.

——In fact, the above is an introspection made by James after the fact.

At this moment, James was stunned. Not only was his body stiff, his hands and feet were out of control, his brain went blank, and he could only hear the sound of his little heart beating faster and faster.

Lily let him go slowly, lowered her beautiful emerald eyes a little bit shyly, and her face was stained with a blush, "Thank you, James." After finishing speaking, Lily turned around and left, her footsteps getting faster and faster. come faster.

Leaving James alone by the window, it took him a long time to react.

Merlin, just now Lily took the initiative to throw herself into his embrace! ! !

Lily's face was burning, but she wasn't completely carried away by what she had just done, in fact, as she approached the Defense Against the Dark Arts office all the way, she began to force herself to think about Prince. .

Since the first time she attended Prince's class, she had doubted whether this person could be Harry, but at that time she also tested Severus--almost didn't make it clear, and Severus Si made her think she was wrong.

She didn't know if it was misleading, or if even the boy didn't recognize where it was.

I have to say that the boy is more suspicious than expected.Lily looked at the long corridor leading to Prince's office about fifty yards ahead, walking more and more slowly.

For a long time, Lily let herself give up this idea, telling herself that if that teaching style was not common, there must be someone who was similar to Harry's teaching style, even if she had once again told Prynne Puzzled by Si's clarification in the auditorium, she also intends to ignore this matter.

But... if her owl delivered a message to Harry, to Prince, it would be obvious.There was no need for James to lie to her, and no reason for him to.

It's ten o'clock at night, and there is still some time before the curfew.

Lily took a deep breath, stabilized her thoughts, and mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

There was no response from the door, only——

"Come tomorrow." The portrait on the door yawned long and said lazily.

"Why? It's not curfew time yet." Lily asked bluntly.

The portrait explained: "Professor Prince was a little uncomfortable this evening, so he told me 10 minutes ago that if any students come back, please tell them, and we will talk about it tomorrow. The last student just left not long ago."

"But..." Lily still wanted to fight, if Prince didn't sleep,

"Go back, smart girl, you know I won't open the door for you." The portrait said helplessly, half dead, "I have to listen to the professor, don't I?"

"Then can you tell him for me that I need to find him urgently?" Lily didn't give up.

"I'm afraid not, the professor is already asleep." The portrait said decisively, "Don't bother him, he is very busy recently, he has been tired of dealing with students, just now there are two students who don't know what they want to do He got out..."

Lily: "..." It seems to be Sirius and James.

"Let's go back……"

Lily stood at the door and didn't leave immediately. She didn't know whether she should loudly let the people in the office hear her voice, or leave and wait for tomorrow.There is only one thing, she clearly knows that she doesn't want to wait for tomorrow.

"Don't disturb him," the portrait sighed long after seeing the red-haired girl's stubborn expression, "he's been really tired recently, and he wasn't in good health."

"You're so skinny?" Lily said innocently.

"Here, okay? Anyway, I heard that he is good in class." The portrait laughed and said, "Go back, come back tomorrow, earlier, don't come at this time."

Did Prince refuse to see her under the guise of being uncomfortable because James recognized her owl?

Assuming Prince was really the Harry she knew, it would all make sense.

Because Harry has a guilty conscience, he has been teaching here for nearly a year. Of course, it is possible to know the relationship between James and her. James said that he saw her owl in Prince's office, so Harry probably knows that James will tell himself, so……

So... what role did Severus play in this?Does he know or not?If he knew, what was Harry's purpose in going to Hogwarts, and why did even Severus help hide it?

On the second day, the fifth grade Gryffindors did not have Defense Against the Dark Arts courses, but because the fifth grade was at a critical time, their courses were even more than before, and some professors were also keen to take up some unused courses. Their time, this is a headache for all the fifth graders.

Lily didn't find a chance to find Prince. She originally planned to go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at night, but in the last class of the afternoon, Lily met little Snape in the class of Charms, which made her She temporarily changed her mind.

She couldn't just go to Prince. Prince was a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. If he didn't want to admit it, then it was impossible for her to force him to answer this question.

The more Lily thought about it, the more something was wrong. Little Snape clearly knew that Prince might belong to Harry. Yes, he had been helping him cover it up. Perhaps he had known this secret since the beginning of the semester.Lily gritted her teeth thinking.

Before leaving the classroom, Lily found an opportunity and slipped a note to Snape, with only a few words on it: "Prince, five o'clock, old place, see you there."

In fact, Lily didn't know if little Snape would come, because they had a falling out not long ago, but now that she found out about it, if little Snape didn't come to her, maybe she should take some extreme measures.

Lily was walking back and forth anxiously at the old place where she met Snape, when she suddenly heard a low, cold voice from behind. "We shouldn't meet again."

"But here you are." Lily turned to look at young Snape.

"Why are you looking for me?"

Lily looked around, and then said in a low voice: "Are you sure there is no one around here?"

Little Snape was indeed very careful when he came, but he wasn't sure if there was any problem with Lily, so he took Lily to a more secluded place: "What on earth do you want to say, if you want to say it, say it quickly."

"Prince." Lily stopped talking nonsense and asked directly, "I'm talking about Professor Prince. You already knew that Prince is Harry, right?"

"What are you talking about?" Little Snape looked extremely flustered and... guilty.

"That's right, isn't it? You've known that he's Harry since this school year?" Seeing Snape's expression, Lily said with more certainty.

"It's not what you think." Little Snape seemed to want to keep calm, but the nervousness seemed to linger, "I don't know..."

"Yesterday, I wrote a letter to Harry, but James told me that my owl gave the letter to Harry. You know, my owl recognizes him, and it is absolutely impossible to make mistakes." Lily looked at the little boy with a strong attitude. Snape, who was determined not to give up until he found out the truth, "Stop lying to me again, Severus, I know all about it."

Little Snape struggled for a while, and suddenly said as if he was completely discouraged: "Well, you are right, but he never planned to tell anyone from the beginning, and I found out that he couldn't deny it. told me."

"You sure know."

"Yes, I know, he won't let me tell anyone," said Snape Jr. emphatically.

"Then why did he come to Hogwarts in a different form? What does he want to do?" Lily said angrily. The feeling of being deceived instantly exploded in her body like a thunderbolt, which was not a good feeling.Especially two best friends...maybe best friends ever,

Everything is very wrong, if Prince is really Harry, then in this school year, Harry's attitude towards Slytherin and Gryffindor is too strange, this is not the original Harry at all, the one for her Talk to Severus about four houses being equal Harry.

"This is the problem I've been trying to find out for a long time." Little Snape looked a little frustrated, but he tried his best to look expressionless. "He has his purpose, that's all I know so far."

"what?"

"Lily, no one can stop him from what he wants to do, and you can't get out of his mouth what he doesn't want to say," said Snape directly summarizing his experience, "He doesn't want to tell Me, so I've been trying to figure out what he's trying to do, but the trouble is, I can't find anything at all."

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Lily immediately entered the thinking mode, "Is what he is going to do dangerous? But I can't think of anything in Hogwarts that is worth changing his face to teach here ..."

"Actually, I have some clues," said Snape Jr. "Recently he has gotten very close to Regulus Black. Perhaps this has something to do with his purpose of coming here. I also know one thing, Potter and Black My brother has been investigating Regulus Black, if you want to know more about Harry, you can go and see what Potter has found out."

The author has something to say: →_→ In the last paragraph, Snape did it on purpose, and his purpose is very clear →_→

Suddenly switched to Infernal Affairs mode_(:з」∠)_

Also, Harry didn't miss Lily on purpose, he was really tired :-(
