[Comprehensive] Everything is for the enjoyment of life

"Cathy, you're here." Petunia who heard the voice opened the door and gave Catherine a warm hug.

"Where did Lily go?" Catherine let go of Petunia and looked around, a little surprised to find that Lily didn't follow Petunia as usual.

"She's practicing her tricks." Petunia said while leading Catherine upstairs, "Mommy likes her tricks very much, like making flowers more alive..." Petunia's tone was full of envy.

"Mr. Evans doesn't like it?" Catherine asked pretending to be puzzled. She still hadn't figured out how to let Petunia see the inconvenience and harm of magic to the user without revealing the magic.

"Daddy said, 'Those are just gadgets that women only like!'" Petunia imitated Mr. Evans' tone, "Listen, how proud he is of his little daughter."

"Don't you often help maintain those plants and make them bloom longer?"

Petunia had already reached the door of the house. "That's not as good as Lily making dead flowers bloom!" After that, he opened the door, turned his head and said to Catherine sarcastically, "Come in, and meet our beloved Miss Evans."

Catherine was about to say something to adjust the conflict, when she suddenly saw something in Lily's hand, she subconsciously said, "No! Lily, what did you do to it!"

Hearing Catherine's words, Petunia turned her head immediately.She saw that Lily was holding the wooden lion cub that Catherine had given her before, and there were cracks constantly appearing on it.She screamed. "Ah! Stop it! Why did Lily treat it like this!"

Lily was frightened by the voices of the two, and subconsciously threw the wooden lion cub in her hand out. Petunia ran to catch it, and the wooden carving, which was just a little cracked before, broke into several pieces in her palm.

Catherine lowered her eyebrows, looking sad and disappointed.In fact, she was trying to hide the joy that might have appeared in her eyes.I couldn't think of a good way before, but I didn't expect the opportunity to come up by myself now.

"Tuney, it must not be Lily's intention. Did you, Lily?" Catherine still lowered her head slightly, pretending to be strong and generous.

"I didn't mean it, Tuney, you have to believe me. I never thought it would be like this, Severus said it was a spell to protect himself..." Lily's eyes were red, she felt very wronged, and began to blame Severus in her heart.

"Look, Lily didn't do it on purpose. I'll just take it back and stick it together. Don't blame her." Catherine said so, and she felt that with Petunia's temperament, she would probably say...

"Do it again and show me!" Petunia ordered, with fear and longing in her eyes.

Lily hesitated, and softly said the mantra: "Diffindo"

The wooden lion cub in Petunia's hand shattered even more. Catherine sighed, she couldn't stick to it this time, she had to learn the Restoration Charm from Severus for Lily.

"That's not some goddamn protection spell!" Petunia screamed. "That boy must have lied to you! I knew it! The Snape's kid! The Spinner's End kid!"

"Tuney, don't do that..." Catherine felt a little helpless, "Maybe it's just that their understanding is different? We need to give him another chance..."

"Another chance?!" Petunia screamed, holding the fragment of the wood carving up in front of her eyes. "We gave him another chance, and then? And that's it! That's what he did to us!"

Catherine's brows twitched, why did she suddenly remember what Petunia said to Harry in the original book?

"Let Lily ask him if there is any way to recover..." Catherine said, "Ask again why he told her such a spell."

"Okay..." Probably "recovery" touched Petunia's heart and made her agree, "Then let's hide in the bushes like last time."

"I'm afraid not." Catherine curled her lips. "I don't think we will be able to keep calm when we see him again. He will be found out. And I think you've seen it, he won't hurt Lily."

Petunia didn't immediately agree, it was obvious she was concerned for Lily's safety.But Catherine is not in a hurry now, and Lily, who is eager to make up for her mistakes, will definitely convince her.

Sure enough, when Catherine came to Evans' house the next morning, Petunia happily told her, "Lily restored the wood carving."

"That's really nice." Catherine laughed from the bottom of her heart.It is always uncomfortable when something you have worked so hard to break is broken.

After sitting down on Petunia's bed, Catherine asked Lily while fiddling with the complete wood carving: "So, how did Mr. Snape explain the spell?"

"He said..." Lily raised her head and looked towards the sky.

—————————— Falling into the dividing line of memories—————————

"Of course it can protect itself! Offense is the best defense!" Severus looked a little excited, "As long as you use it on someone who wants to hurt you..." His voice dropped, "I never thought about you I will use it for my own things..."

"Tuney is right, the children who live in Spinner's End only know how to hurt, not how to protect!" Lily looked very angry, as if she blamed Severus for breaking the small wooden sculpture that Catherine gave to Petunia.

"Do you think so too?" Severus seemed shocked, "Think it's an evil place? I'm an evil child? I thought we were the same kind..."

"Of course not!" Lily argued, "I've never thought of it that way!" Severus was relieved by that statement, but what Lily said next sent him to hell. "I thought you were a good boy, but you taught me such a spell! So I can't trust you now. You know what? I broke Tuney and Cathy's hearts because of this!"

"I'll never hurt you at all..." Severus said in a low voice, hot and uncomfortable in the sun, with dirty hair, "But they're just Muggles..."

"What did you say?" Lily didn't hear clearly, but she felt that it was not a good thing.

"Nothing." Severus pursed his lips. "Can I do something in exchange for your forgiveness? How about teaching you a healing spell?"

"...Okay." Lily thought for a while and agreed.

Severus grabbed a leaf and tore it in two. "Reparo (restored as before)" the two leaves trembled and joined together by themselves. "you can try."

In fact, when Severus uttered the incantation, Lily already believed it, because this incantation was very close to the English word Repair. Lily didn't know how the spells came about. The Ennervate sounded like an Enervate.So even though Lily didn't know what Diffindo (torn apart) meant, she didn't have any doubts.

After practicing a few times, Lily was able to cast the spell successfully.After confirming that the effect of the spell was recovery, Lily took her leave and left.Before leaving, she said: "If I can successfully repair Tuney's little lion wood carving, I will come to you again."

"You will," Severus said, not knowing whether he was consoling himself or believing that Lily would succeed.

After returning home, Lily told Petunia exactly what she said, and restored the wood carving in front of her, and the two sisters returned to their previous relationship.

————————The dividing line after the memory———————

"It's amazing!" Catherine inspected the small wood carving repeatedly, but there was no trace of damage.

"Yeah, it was Lily who broke it, and it was Lily who fixed it." Petunia said with emotion.

"Tuney!" Catherine said dissatisfiedly, "Don't always say that about Lily."

"Okay, okay, I don't mean anything else." Petunia sat up, "Lily, you must find a place to learn how to do magic tricks, and you can't always make oolongs."

"I hope..." Lily said uncertainly, "Is there really such a school?"

Catherine joked, "Lily worked hard to learn magic tricks, but we watched them effortlessly!"

Both Petunia and Lily laughed. Catherine was very satisfied, and the first stage of mediation of the sisters' conflict was completed.

Because of her timely adjustment, Severus' appearance didn't antagonize Petunia, and Petunia didn't speak ill of him.If Petunia hadn't had such a great yearning and hatred for magic, she wouldn't have been peeping to be discovered by Severus, then the days could have passed in peace for more than a year.The next problem to be solved should come when she was going to Hogwarts. Catherine thought happily.

It's a pity that Catherine hasn't realized the powerful role of the plot. Some things that should happen will happen no matter what.

The author has something to say: If Severus' image collapses, he will not be held responsible.Writing from the bottom of my heart has always been very casual.

Ennervate is en Old French to inspire (en) + Latin to energize (nerves)
