MTL - In This Hogwarts Without a Savior-Chapter 445 443. Past

  Chapter 445 443. Past

  Jon and Lily found a hotel near Spider's End Alley to live in.

   Lily did not appear as impatient as Jon imagined, and she seemed to be ready for a protracted battle with Snape here.

  They did not use Apparition to frequently travel back and forth between Britain and France. The goal would be too obvious. No one can guarantee that the Department of Magical Transport within the British Ministry of Magic can resume normal work.

  After resting for the night, Lily went out early in the morning after breakfast and began to wander along the Spider's End Alley like a walk.

  She didn't use her original identity anymore, but drank the compound potion together with Jon, and turned into two middle-aged Muggle men, acting as if they came here for a trip.

In fact, Jon really regarded this trip as a trip. Originally, the job Dumbledore arranged for him was to take care of Lily, and he didn’t need to worry about other things. The previous trip brought the Dursleys back to France The task is considered overtime.

   And Lily's actions didn't look like she was looking for Snape, she was more like reacquainting with this city that seemed a little strange to her.

  After getting married with James, she never came back here again, not to mention living in exile in the UK for more than ten years, so she had no chance or time to revisit her old place.

Jon's previous memory was somewhat wrong. It was true that Snape's family lived in Spider's End Alley, but Lily's family did not live in this narrow alley before, but in a house not far from the alley. .

Now this kind of house has changed owners, but Lily and Jon just looked at the house from a distance for a while and left from here. It seems that she didn't want to disturb the current owner of the house, and went in for a visit. the meaning of.

  It was close to 11:00 in the morning, and they came to an emerald green lawn that seemed out of place in this almost entirely gray city.

   There are still some children playing on the lawn, which seems to have a kind of tranquility and peace.

  Lily didn't go any further, but sat down with Jon on a nearby bench to rest. She looked at the children playing on the lawn, and whispered to Jon.

   "Interested in my story, Jon."

  Jon raised his eyebrows. In fact, since he came to England, he could feel that Lily's mood was significantly different from before.

   It was not only the hatred for chasing and killing Snape, but also mixed with a kind of nostalgia and sadness.

  He snapped his fingers.

   "Of course, but wait first, Professor."

  He got up and went to a nearby dessert cart, asked for two cones, then returned to the bench and handed one of them to Lily.

  Looking at the dessert he handed over, Lily obviously hesitated and didn't know whether she should reach out to take it, but Jon stuffed it into her hand without any explanation.

"Hey! Professor, don't be so restrained, you are going to tell me stories, so now we don't have to limit our identities to teachers and students, right? Besides, before we know we have to taste something bitter, of course we must Neutralize it with sweetness."

   Seeing Jon wink at her while talking, Lily didn't hesitate anymore, took the cone that Jon stuffed into her hand, took a shallow taste and continued.

   "Actually, when I brought you out of that orphanage, Jon, I didn't feel like you were an ordinary boy."

  Jon ate half of what was in his hand in one bite, he said vaguely.

   "That proves that the professor is still capable of part-time divination classes."

   "Perhaps, it's also possible that I was thinking that if Harry were to live, he would actually be able to enter the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry the year he entered Hogwarts."

   When talking about this, her voice sounded calm.

  But if someone meets her eyes, you can see the pain in the eyes that have lost their focus.

Jon gradually became more serious from his hippie smile at the beginning. He knew that Lily's current depression could not be soothed by his simple witticism. All he had to do now was to be a listener, qualified The listener does.

   "Before I was completely disappointed in him, I was actually very grateful to Snape."

   Lily's voice was low and calm.

"My parents are both Muggles. When I showed my magical talent at home when I was young, I was actually at a loss. I was only nine years old at that time, and I thought I had some strange disease. It was at that time , I met Snape, who was the same age as me, right here, on this lawn that doesn't fit in with this city."

"He was the one who told me all about magic and that I was actually a wizard and not some freak that Petunia was talking about. You should have found out when you picked up the Dursleys, Petunia. Ni doesn't like me at all, in fact, our relationship was very good when we were young, that is, when I knew that I was different from other people, our relationship became cold."

"This incident also has something to do with Snape. After all, we are more like the same kind of people, which makes her feel like she has become redundant. Snape was very dismissive of this at the time. He told me that Penny It's jealousy, jealousy that we can cast magic and go to Hogwarts. That was the first time I taught him a lesson, and he didn't seem to care much about it, but he talked to me with great interest afterwards The wonder of magic and the wonder of Hogwarts."

"I learned a lot from him. We talked almost everything and became best friends. This situation is the same even at Hogwarts. Even if I was assigned to Gryffindor, and he I was assigned to Slytherin, these two colleges are like old enemies, but we still maintain the closest relationship. Even though many friends around me were persuading me at that time, let me not deal with Slytherin people, His friends are also trying to persuade him to ignore the Gryffindors, and it never stops us."

   "What kind of situation made this change?"

  She looked at the green lawn, as if recalling what happened in the castle back then.

"He started to be exposed to poisonous spells and jinxes when he first entered Hogwarts at the age of eleven, and he knew more of these black arts than some seventh-grade students. But at that time, I didn't think it was a big deal, The Unforgivable Curse is black magic, but black magic is not limited to the Unforgivable Curse. At that time, even in Gryffindor, many students used poisonous curses to play pranks on people. But Snape The talent in black magic is really very high. When he was in the fourth grade, he was already able to create new curses by himself, which is the throat lock you used to use. But I still thought it was nothing at the time, until he started Hanging out with some people I really don't like, Avery, Mulciber, and even Evan Rozier, Wilkes, and Bellatrix who you killed Lestrange and others were staunch supporters of blood theory before Voldemort rose to power."

"At the same time, his research on black magic has become more and more in-depth. It is not limited to evil curses and poisonous curses, but has begun to develop into more dangerous curses. I warned him and told him to do his best. Stay away from his so-called friends, who actually had contact with Voldemort outside when they were in school, some like Lucius Malfoy, who joined the Death Eaters directly after graduation Team, Snape, who was in the school at that time, still had a good correspondence relationship with him."

"Snape was very perfunctory in agreeing to my words. He said that his friends are actually nothing, and they will change their views on people like me in the future, but they will also integrate into their communication, and at the same time, they will be more fascinated by black magic. I was bored during that time, I didn't know if Snape understood what he was doing, and I didn't know if he really joined Voldemort like Lucius Malfoy and others In the ranks, should I still treat him as a friend?"

Jon had finished eating the cone in his hand, and he didn't open his mouth to remind Lily that if she didn't take care of the cone in her hand, the cream would melt completely, because he knew that this story had reached its turning point .

"Finally, he called me that title during a bullying session where he was humiliated." Lily's voice was flat, and it sounded like she didn't really hate the title, "Just as I was cursing He called me a Mudblood while watching James and defending him to the people around him."

"At that time I was very angry, so I responded to him by calling him a snot. From then on, I began to realize that there is really no way we can be together. He has chosen another path. , a way that I could not accept, and there was no way to accept me. From then on, I broke up with him, but he didn't seem to realize it. After that day, he even apologized to me, saying that he did not Didn’t mean to call me that. I didn’t take that because it’s not what he’s apologizing for and changing.”

"In the end, I got together with his deadly enemy, James. To be honest, I never thought I would accept James before the sixth grade. He seemed so arrogant in school, arrogant and imposing on others. Violence. But in fact, he has always seen it more clearly than me. He understood from the beginning to the end that Snape would never turn back. He resented the half of his father's blood that brought him to him, so he recognized Prince so much. The surname is a symbol of pure blood, and it is precisely because of this that he is obsessed with the theory of black magic and Voldemort, and he is so close to real pure-blood wizards. Even in Hogwarts, he has always been with Death Eaters. We all keep in touch. He is very nice, but he only treats me well. I have no right to blame or resent him. At that time, what I thought was that since there was no way to be friends anymore, then we would go our separate ways. Road, the future will no longer involve each other."

   Lily lowered her head, she didn't look at other places, because the next story will involve the biggest scar in her heart.

"After graduating from Hogwarts, James and I got married. Although we did not directly join the Order of the Phoenix, we had a deep relationship with Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix. At that time, Voldemort already had They are very powerful. They tortured and killed the witches and wreaked havoc everywhere. James and I were also regarded as targets by him, but we were all lucky to escape. And at that time, as I expected, Snape didn't change at all. He joined the Death Eaters directly after graduating from Hogwarts and became Voldemort's lackey. Becoming that person's subordinate is not just about expressing his support and allegiance to the blood theory. of."

"That's a group of terrorists, and if you want to join the terrorists, you will naturally have blood on your subordinates." Lily's voice became obviously cold when she said this, "I heard a lot of people in those years. Regarding his deeds, such as which operation to kill the hemp seeds he participated in, which Muggle area he attacked, or what more brilliant achievements he made for his master. James has never regretted it What he did to Snape when he was a student, long before he started targeting Snape, he had already started to get closer to those people, but James knew I had no right to accuse Snape, so he never They didn't ask me to say anything nasty with him."

   "Then what happened that night."

  In her always calm voice, she trembled slightly uncontrollably when she said this sentence.

  Jon also remained silent.

   "Voldemort came to my house, James stood in front of me and Harry, and then he died." Lily clenched her hands tightly, and the joints were obviously white because of too much force.

"I knew I had no way to resist. I humbly begged that man to let Harry go, kill me, and keep Harry alive. At first he was extremely impatient, and I was very excited and nervous. , I can feel the magic power in my body produce some strange changes because of my emotions, such changes are connected to Harry, maybe it can save Harry's life!"

   "But at that moment, things suddenly went wrong."

   Lily suddenly trembled and said inexplicably.

  Jon also held his breath at this time. As the only person alive that night, Lily must have known what happened to cause all this turning point.

"He seemed to have changed into a different person suddenly. Instead of showing impatience, he was very calm, surprised, and excited. Then, instead of using magic, he grabbed a broken table leg on the ground, That knocked me out."
