"How do we hide in the bushes? What if he is already there, wouldn't that be meaningless?" Petunia was a little worried.

"Let Lily go in first. If Lily calls him out and no one responds, he probably isn't there anymore." Catherine thought for a while and said.

"Then if I call him and he appears, how can you come in? Then I can communicate with him alone?" Lily asked.

"Eh... We came so early today, he shouldn't be here..." Catherine also felt that her plan was not well thought out.But in fact, she couldn't think of any comprehensive plan, and she couldn't use magic, which greatly restricted her actions and thinking.

"Well, Lily, if he shows up, ask him to talk to you over there." Petunia pointed to a nearby house, "Let's hide in the garden fence first, if he's not here, you come out and call us. "

"Then it's settled." Lily watched Petunia and Catherine hide away, took a deep breath, and walked towards the amusement park.

————————Separation line for scene transition———————

"Are you here?" Lily said.Looking around, there was no response, not even a startled bird.

"Could you come out for a while? I want to hear you tell me something about magic..." Lily continued, but there was still no response from around.

"Well, it seems that I'm really the only one here..." Lily murmured, sighed, and walked outside.

————————Separation line for scene transition———————

Standing by the hedge where Catherine and Petunia were hiding, Lily said, "Nobody's in there. Nobody's answering me."

After a while, Catherine and Petunia got out and patted the dust and leaves on their bodies. "Then let's go in."

————————Separation line for scene transition———————

Petunia got into the bushes first, and Catherine was about to follow, when she suddenly remembered something, she turned her head and said to Lily: "You sit on the swing and wait for him, don't...play that kind of trick again, wait patiently for him. Don't always look this way, just pretend that we don't exist." After saying that, he also got into it.

After some time, a boy appeared.He was sallow, short and thin.His black hair was too long, his clothes didn't fit well, his jeans were too short, his shirt looked like an odd smock, and his tattered coat was obviously grown-up.

"You're here!" There was some excitement in Lily's voice.Maybe it was because he had waited too long, or maybe it was knowing that he was about to learn about his strange powers from him.

"Are you waiting for me?" The boy's face was a little unbelievable, more excited.

"Yes..." Lily was probably frightened by the excitement on his face, and hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I want to hear from you about this strange power..."

"Strange power? That's magic!" The boy was a little excited, but quickly suppressed it, "Muggles who can't have it will be surprised by it..."

"Sorry... what is... a Muggle?" Lily caught a new word with the tip of her ear.

"People who don't know magic..." Severus explained, but was interrupted by Lily.

"Cathy said that we shouldn't discriminate against something before we fully understand it!" Lily subconsciously retorted, "Sorry, forget what I just said."

There was silence between the two.One is sitting on a swing, and the other is standing far away.

"Okay..." Lily softened, "You can come here. My name is Lily Evans."

The boy came and stopped a few steps away from the swing, his back to the bushes where Catherine and Petunia were hiding. "My name is Severus Snape."

Petunia, who was sitting in the bushes, suddenly wanted to say something excitedly, Catherine hurriedly covered her mouth with one hand, and held her down with the other to keep her from making any noise.

Lily stood up from the swing, "So, Mr. Snape..."

Severus interrupted, "You can call me Severus'…"

Lily smiled indifferently, "Okay, then you can call me Lily too. So, Severus, can you teach me how to control... magic? I always make a mess around... and... ..." Lily lowered her voice, "Can you tell me something about magic?"

"Of course." Severus looked very pleased.A tiny dimple formed at the corner of his mouth when Lily called his name.

He picked up a withered flower from the bush where Petunia and Catherine were hiding. Lily took two steps forward, curious and examining.Lily waited for her to get close enough to see clearly, opened her palms, and softly recited the spell: "Enervate (quick recovery)" The flower regained its luster in his palm, as if it had returned to its blooming appearance.

"Come and try." Severus knelt down again, picked up a withered flower, and handed it over.

"Enervate (quick recovery)" Lily said to the withered flower in her palm, when the last letter left her mouth, the flower returned to life. "Wow!" Lily was very surprised.

"I know!" Severus was a little excited, "You are very talented, you know a lot of magic..." His voice dropped because he realized that Lily was not listening.He had to continue to demonstrate other magic to her.

————————The dividing line of time passing———————

For Lily, the one or two hours of magic teaching passed quickly, and she mastered many wonderful spells.But Lily felt that this was not enough, and she wanted more time to learn all this and understand everything related to it.For Petunia and Catherine, their few hours in the bush seemed like a lifetime.In particular, Catherine not only has to pay attention to not making any noise between her and Petunia, but also has to be careful about using magic herself.

"Ah... I think, it's time for me to go home for dinner..." Lily finally realized the passage of time, thinking of her sister and Catherine who were still suffering in the bushes.But before she left, she wanted to learn one more spell. "So, can you teach me a spell to protect myself?"

"Of course..." Severus thought for a moment, then said, "Diffindo, this may take more practice to master. You have to remember that this spell can only be used on the other party's items."

"Diffindo (divided)? Can only be used on items? Okay, I remember." Lily nodded, looked at Severus and said, "Thank you very much for teaching me this. Someday I have the chance, I will come here again Looking for you."

"You don't have to thank me...it's my pleasure..." Severus said, a blush gradually forming on Caishi's face.

Lily didn't notice the change in Severus' expression. She had already walked to the gate of the amusement park. She turned around, waved to Severus, and disappeared from his sight.

Petunia in the bushes wanted to get up and walk out, perhaps to warn Severus, but Catherine held her down. Severus stood there for a while before leaving the playground on the other side.Seeing him completely disappear from sight, Catherine took away the hand holding Petunia, and the two crawled out of the bushes without talking to each other, and walked quickly towards Evans' house.

————————Separation line for scene transition———————

The two left the playground, turned a corner and saw Lily waiting there.

"You guys came out." She looked very happy, "He taught me a few... magic tricks." Lily didn't know the reason, but she could clearly feel that when she used "magic tricks" instead of " Petunia is much happier when she masters the magic.So she naturally changed the words when she spoke, magic is very important, Petunia is more important.

"You should practice these skills well." Petunia said, "You shouldn't waste your talent." At this time, she was like an ordinary sister who cared about her younger sister.

"Who's that guy?" Catherine asked seemingly unintentionally, "I've never seen him around here before."

"Listen to his name, he's that Snape kid! They live at the end of Spider's End Lane by the river!" Petunia said, and the tone of her voice suggested that she felt that address was a symbol of evil. . "Lily, you can't let someone like that teach you tricks!"

"But, no one but him would..." Faced with the sudden change in Petunia's attitude, Lily was a little at a loss.

"The only thing each of us can't choose is our own birth." Catherine interrupted Lily, touched her nose, and said with some guilt, "The important thing is not where he lives, but what kind of person he is. You You can’t judge a person by their origin.”

"Okay, okay." Petunia compromised, "Now he is the only one who can teach Lily how to do magic tricks. Lily, you have to practice quickly, and then you can stop communicating with him."

Lily wanted to refute something, but under the signal of Catherine's eyes, she took it back.

"Okay, now all the problems are solved, Lily just needs to practice hard." Catherine waved to Sister Evans, "Then I'll go back. But if anything happens, feel free to contact me. [Please feel free to find me.]”

"I will," said Petunia, "see you tomorrow then."

"See you tomorrow!" Lily said too.
