Chapter 291 From one extreme to another (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
There is no doubt that with Snape's current mental state and appearance, anyone who is not a fool can see that there is something wrong with him.
Because the lingering melancholy that enveloped him before completely disappeared, replaced by a sense of happiness visible to the naked eye, and the maturity and stability that only a married man can have.
As an outsider, Zuo Si could easily feel it, not to mention the other professors who had worked with him for many years.
Just out of respect for his personal privacy, no one has taken the initiative to ask.
Professor McGonagall, in particular, seemed to have guessed something. While presiding over the sorting ceremony for freshmen, he would look here from the corner of his eyes from time to time, obviously a little absent-minded.
Snape undoubtedly noticed this, and immediately whispered to Zuo Si beside him: "You know? In fact, Minerva is also extremely eager to resurrect her dead brother in her heart.
Since After the gathering at the Pig Head Bar, I can often see her sitting in the office looking at the photo of her dead brother in a daze.
You have no idea what a great and epoch-making thing you have created. Make the whole world crazy."
"You mean, Professor McGonagall would be willing to pay any price to get a piece of magic mercury from me?" Zuo Si asked calmly.
"Of course! As someone who has experienced it, I can tell you clearly that that strong sense of guilt will continue to accumulate and increase as time goes by.
Maybe now, Minerva can still control her emotions with reason. .
But before long, when she sees the dead people reappearing in front of her, she will have only one thought left, like Aberforth, which is to resurrect her deceased relatives.
Emotions can never be suppressed by reason.
And the harder you try to forget, the clearer the memory will become and the pain will increase exponentially. ”
When he said these words, Snape's tone revealed a depth and vicissitude unique to those who have experienced it.
Ever since he learned the news of Lily's death and saw her cold and pale body with his own eyes, his world has completely lost its color. Everything at first glance is gray, and he has not slept in these years. A restful sleep.
But the moment I resurrected it with my own hands, the whole world seemed to become colorful again.
Especially the days we spent together day and night recently, it was like returning to the carefree and beautiful childhood life of childhood.
Because of such an experience, Snape was very able to understand Minerva McGonagall's conflicting mood at the moment.
Likewise, he also knows that the other person will eventually make the right choice like him.
"So, I am going to prepare a magic mercury for Professor McGonagall in advance?" Zuo Si asked with interest.
"Do you have extra magic mercury on hand?" Snape was obviously stunned.
Because according to the size of the magic stone, it can only store enough magic mercury inside it to bring people back to life for three to five people.
He has always believed that the two copies given to himself and Aberforth should be Zuo Si's last inventory.
Zuo Si smiled meaningfully and responded: "Of course, Professor. Otherwise, why do you think I would hand over the Magic Stone so easily?
What's more, since I can create the first one, I can naturally Use the same method to create the second and third ones.
In this world, the real difficulty in resurrecting a person is not the resurrection itself.
It is how to resurrect those who have died. The soul regains its memory after a long time."
Snape nodded thoughtfully: "This is indeed a topic worth studying. Maybe... we can try to use spells like Legilimency. .”
"Oh? Have you tried it? How's the effect?" Zuo Si suddenly became interested.
Legilimency, as the name suggests, is to extract a person's memories and emotions from the mind.
These memories and emotions can be put into the Pensieve to watch and share with others, or they can be thrown away like garbage.
The latter is usually used to get rid of memories that are too painful and desperate.
"Not bad. At least Lily already believes that I am her best friend and childhood playmate."
Speaking of this matter, Snape couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a happy smile.
But Zuo Si was so smart that he immediately understood the other party's operation, and immediately said with a half-smile: "Are you selectively telling the truth? Your method really impressed me. But are you sure you really Are you ready to be Harry Potter's stepfather? I don't think he will accept it willingly."
"For Lily, I will get rid of that stupid kid. This kind of thing is beyond his control." Snape's tone was full of confidence.
While the two were talking quietly, Filch, the administrator of Hogwarts Castle, suddenly walked quickly from a distance and said in a gloating tone: "Professors, Harry... Potter and Ron Weasley hit the Whomping Willow in a flying car."
"Severus, could you please go deal with it first for me and Minerva? I still want to stay here to preside over the opening ceremony," Principal Dumbledore asked proactively after being silent for a long time.
"No problem."
Snape stood up without saying a word, without any hesitation or reluctance.
And before leaving, he also took away a copy of the latest "Daily Prophet".
On the most prominent page, there was a report about Muggles seeing flying cars appearing in the sky.
Things that happened in the morning will appear in the media in the afternoon. This kind of speed and efficiency is really unlike the magic world where everything is delayed no matter what it is done.
If nothing else, Lucius Malfoy must have been behind the scenes.
After all, the bigger this matter gets, the more he can use it to cause trouble for Arthur Weasley, and it would be best if he loses his job at the Ministry of Magic.
In this way, under the leadership of Filch, Snape quickly found two little ones who looked embarrassed, carrying broken boxes and looking towards the lobby on the first floor.
"Look! Isn't that Soth? Why is he sitting on the faculty bench?" Ron exclaimed in a low voice.
"Well - I think it has something to do with the courses this semester. There is an extra class every week this semester on how to make magic scrolls, and he should be the teacher of this class. After all, this technology He invented it last semester," Harry explained with some envy.
"So...he became the youngest professor in the history of Hogwarts?" Ron's mouth opened in shock.
Harry nodded slightly: "Yes. If nothing else happens, no one will be able to surpass him in the future. But compared to this matter, I am more concerned about why the faculty and staff are in the position There's an empty one... Where's Snape? "
"Maybe he's sick," said Ron hopefully.
"Maybe he resigned because he didn't get the Defense Against the Dark Arts course he wanted most." Harry also began to think delusional.
Although at the end of last semester, he had learned some truth from Dumbledore and understood that Snape was protecting himself.
But when I think about the other party always finding faults and deducting points for no reason, I still can't help but feel strong rejection and disgust.
If possible, he hoped that Snape would never appear in front of him again in his life.
Ron, who was desperate, obviously hadn't noticed that the disaster was approaching, and continued excitedly: "Maybe he was fired! You think, except for the students of Slytherin House, everyone else in the school hates He..."
But before they could finish their words, Harry and Ron heard a very familiar and creepy voice behind them.
"Maybe he was listening to you two saying why you didn't take the bus to school."
moment!
Both of them shivered subconsciously and turned around quickly, just in time to see Snape's iconic face and the half-smiling expression on his face.
At this moment, anyone who is not a fool should understand that the other party heard the conversation clearly and that his situation is not good.
"Follow me!"
Snape glanced at these two students, who were no different from idiots in his eyes, then turned around and led the way towards the cellar.
After a while, the three of them entered the faculty office which was very close to the Slytherin common room.
Just when Harry and Ron were ready to face the storm, as well as the sarcasm and sarcasm that could make people angry to death, they were surprised to find that the other party actually gave them a glass of pumpkin juice.
"Here, drink." Snape said in as kind a tone as possible.
Although what he said just now made him very angry, when he thought of Lily's beautiful, gentle and peaceful face, his newly hardened heart would immediately soften.
And kept telling myself in my heart that Harry Potter is Lily's child, and all this is for Lily.
There is no doubt that Snape's almost "gentle" attitude almost scared Harry and Ron to the point of peeing.
This is like a guy who is always looking for trouble. Suddenly one day his attitude changes 180 degrees. Anyone with any brains will subconsciously become wary.
So even though Harry and Ron were already unbearably thirsty, no one dared to touch the pumpkin juice, let alone drink it.
Because they were all worried whether the potion master in front of them had put something into the pumpkin juice, or simply wanted to poison themselves.
In this situation of mutual distrust, the atmosphere quickly became strange.
Especially the smile that was finally forced onto Snape's face, which he couldn't hold back several times.
Fortunately!
His love for Lily finally made him choose to be patient. He directly handed the newspaper in front of the two of them and said in the least harsh tone possible: "Look, this is what you caused."
Two Muggles in London were convinced they saw an old car flying over the Post Office Building, and in Norfolk Lady Hetty Bayliss also saw a car overhead while she was drying her laundry. Flying by.
Besides there were four or five Muggle reports to the police.
Do you know what this means?
This means a serious violation of the Confidentiality Act!
If you are not a student, you should appear in the court of the Ministry of Magic now to face trial.
Especially you, Ron.
I remember your father worked in the Office for the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts, right?
But now, his son has taken the lead in breaking the law, and it was also revealed that he had modified a car without permission.
Guess what the Ministry of Magic will do when they find out?
Perhaps you expect that my expulsion from Hogwarts will happen to Mr. Weasley first. ”
In an instant!
The faces of the two people who had not realized the seriousness of the problem suddenly turned pale.
Especially Harry felt as if he had been hit hard by the tree he hit just now, and his heart was suddenly filled with a strong sense of guilt.
He simply couldn't imagine how Mr. Weasley would face his good friend Ron, the twin brothers, and the kind and friendly Mrs. Weasley if he really lost his job because of this.
In contrast, Ron is worried that if his father loses his job, how will his family, which is not wealthy, maintain its life?
Will my mother come directly to school and strangle herself to death because of this?
In short, like all the naughty kids who get into trouble, they will only feel fear and regret when they realize the serious consequences of their actions.
Snape noticed this and immediately continued to add: "In addition to violating the Statute of Secrecy and the Misuse of Muggle Articles Act, you also harmed the very rare and precious magical plant in the school-the Whomping Willow. So please try again next time. Use your brain when doing this kind of thing, don't always be stupid and self-righteous. "Next time... next time? You mean, we won't be expelled, right?"
< br>Harry immediately looked like a drowning man, trying to grasp at the last straw.
Because he would rather stay in Hogwarts as a handyman than be expelled and live with his aunt and uncle's family as an ordinary person.
"At least not this time. Just wait, after the sorting ceremony is over, Professor McGonagall will come to punish you personally."
After that, Snape waved his wand and instantly summoned a large pile of pies, sandwiches, roast chicken, mashed potatoes and other foods on his desk, then turned around and disappeared at the end of the corridor outside without looking back.
It wasn't until the footsteps gradually faded away that Ron and Harry, who were worried about the situation in the room, breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground as if they were weak.
Knowing that he would not be fired, the intense hunger quickly returned.
This time, Harry didn't care whether the food might be drugged. He tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Ron, while he held the whole chicken and gnawed it wildly.
After eating almost half of the chicken, the two of them stopped at the same time, picked up the pumpkin juice on the table and drank it all.
When the hunger began to subside, Ron wiped the oil from his mouth and asked in an uncertain tone: "Man, don't you think Snape's attitude towards us today is a bit strange? If it were before , He will definitely take advantage of it and wish to expel us from the school."
"Well, it is a bit strange. He is unbelievably tolerant today, even if Professor McGonagall comes. You have such a good attitude." Harry nodded with deep understanding.
"Could this be some kind of conspiracy?" Ron's persecution paranoia broke out on the spot.
"Probably not..."
Harry's tone was filled with strong uncertainty.
Because he had no idea that his mother, who had been dead for many years, had been resurrected, and that he would soon have a stepfather.
I don’t know if the Savior’s first reaction will be joy or pain and despair when he learns these two pieces of news at the same time.
After all, the person he hates the most is already living with the person he loves the most. Maybe there will be a few more half-brothers or sisters in the future...
Just In this way, the first day of the new semester passed peacefully and peacefully.
Although Harry and Ron received very severe warnings and punishments, under the heckles of the Gryffindor students, they soon forgot how much they felt in their hearts when they stood in front of Snape. Instead of being scared, I felt happy and laughed.
However, this good mood did not last long.
When the owl messenger left a red roaring letter on the table early the next morning, Ron's whole body froze in place, and the hand holding the letter kept trembling.
"Oh - no!"
The youngest son of the Weasley family had a look of despair in his eyes.
“What happened?”
Hermione, who was sitting at the table eating breakfast, obviously noticed that something seemed wrong.
Zuo Si smiled and responded: "Nothing, just a roaring letter. I think Mrs. Weasley must be very angry at what Ron did, so she wants to teach him an impressive lesson."
"Howler letter?"
This was obviously the first time Hermione had heard this word, and a curious expression appeared on her face.
"That's right. A letter blessed with magic and used to express the writer's strong dissatisfaction. Unlike ordinary letters that need to be read, you can understand that it is a communication method that directly transmits voice. As for the content, just like the name, it is basically expressed in an angry roar. Believe me, it will be very interesting when the letter is opened. ”
After saying that, Zuo Si raised the cup and took a sip of hot milk, looking like he was just watching the fun and not afraid of any trouble.
"You'd better open it quickly, because if you don't open it, the situation will be worse. Grandma once sent it to me, but I ignored it, and the result..." Neville, who was sitting at the next table, reminded carefully. .
However, instead of making Ron feel relaxed, these words made Ron even more nervous.
Because the latter had already seen the red envelope's dead end begin to smoke, and began to feel hot to the touch.
In the end, after Ron struggled for a moment, he still tore open the wax seal with the mentality of going to the execution ground.
The next second...
The deafening roar spread throughout the entire auditorium hall.
The volume was so loud that the dust on the ceiling was knocked down.
Mrs. Weasley's voice was like several roaring dragons, which could be heard clearly by everyone in the entire castle.
It must be said that this was a large-scale social death scene for Ron.
Just look at his pale face and uncontrollably trembling lips at this moment, and you will know how amazing the power of this roaring letter is.
Of course, for the other students present, this is perfect excitement and fun.
Especially near the table of Slytherin House not far away, there was even more unceremonious mocking laughter. Young Master Malfoy was simply happier than winning the jackpot. He only wished that there was no magic around him. The camera captured this scene as a souvenir.
If there is another conflict in the future, he can take out this photo and severely humiliate the other party. Fortunately, the duration of the roaring letter was not very long, and it ended in just over a minute.
But the trauma inflicted on Ron's young mind will obviously last for a long time.
It is easy to see from the depressed look in his eyes that until this matter is forgotten, he has no hope of being able to raise his head among his classmates as a human being.
As for Harry, he felt more guilty.
Because the Weasley family gave him the happiest time during the holidays, and his response made Mr. Weasley almost lose his job and is being suspended for review.
The two looked downcast and foolish, and Hermione couldn't help but whisper: "I doubt that Ron and Harry have such a thing as memory. You don't know, right? Last night they had Mucking around in the Gryffindor common room and thinking it would be cool to drive a flying car to school, not realizing that you're going to pay the price."
"Isn't impulsive, pushy and reckless the common characteristics of boys of this age? So there is no need to be too harsh on them. They will gradually mature in a few years." Zuo Si smiled nonchalantly. replied.
"What about you? You seem to be completely different from them. You have never done anything stupid." Hermione's eyes flashed with curiosity.
In her impression, from the moment she met Zuo Si until now, he has always remained calm, calm and mature.
Not to mention making mistakes, I have never even been nervous.
Whether it is the final exam that is enough to make most students feel extremely frightened, or standing on the podium giving open classes to well-known wizards from all over the world, or facing a mountain-like monster on Halloween last semester. The giant monsters always maintain a calm demeanor that cannot be described in words.
If this kind of demeanor is normal for a person like Principal Dumbledore, he is also known as the greatest wizard of our time.
But it seemed very inconsistent when it appeared on Zuo Si, who was too young.
And Hermione herself was deeply attracted by this mature, rational and calm demeanor.
"My situation is a little special. I will consider telling you some secrets and truths when you grow older, but now is not the time." Zuo Si whispered in the girl's ear.
“Grow up a little bit?”
There was doubt and confusion in Hermione's eyes.
She had no idea what her age had to do with it.
Zuo Si threw aside the milk that had been contaminated by dust falling from the ceiling, and patiently explained: "Some things may be too complicated for you now and cannot be well understood. Wait until next year. Or at this time the year after next, I will reveal some truths to you, the truth about this world and even the universe."
There is no doubt that this sentence completely ignited the curiosity and thirst for knowledge in the girl's heart. One eye flashed with a strange look: "You promise?"
"Of course, I promise. Because to me, you are the most special person in the world." Zuo Si responded meaningfully.
moment!
Hermione felt as if she had been electrocuted. Her heart suddenly began to beat wildly, and her neck to her ears instantly became red and hot. She even lowered her head shyly and did not dare to raise it.
I don’t know how long it took, but when the strange and addictive feeling gradually subsided, she was surprised to find that Zuo Si had left at some point, leaving only an empty seat. There was a slight sense of loss.
But soon, the girl, coerced by the second-year students of Gryffindor House, followed Professor Sprout to the greenhouse for her first herbal medicine class.
What made her even more surprised was that Zuo Si did not appear in class like other Slytherin students, but disappeared inexplicably.
...
At the same time, far away in the principal's office on the eighth floor of the castle, Zuo Si was teasing Fox, a dying phoenix who was about to be reborn from the ashes.
Perhaps because of its bloodline from the Dumbledore family, this interesting-looking bird did not reject him, but was very obedient and pecked his fingers with its beak to express its closeness.
The moment he touched the opponent's fiery red feathers, Zuo Si noticed that there was a slight restlessness in the blood in his body that was not easily noticed.
Although it is very slight, it may even be subconsciously ignored by most people.
But as a planeswalker, he captured this moment keenly.
There is no doubt that the connection between the Dumbledore family and the Phoenix is not just a legend, but there is some real connection between them.
It may be that the first generation ancestors integrated the blood of the phoenix into their own bodies, or it may be that they concluded some unknown magical contract.
Anyway, after getting close to the Phoenix, the magic power contained in its blood will increase to a certain extent.
This also explains well why Dumbledore's strength is so much higher than that of other wizards. Even Voldemort did not dare to confront him head-on, but just kept plotting in the dark.
If you add the Elder Wand, the magic power alone will be at least double that of other wizards.
Just when Zuo Si was considering whether to take advantage of the principal's absence to draw some blood from Phoenix for study, the originally closed door suddenly opened, and Dumbledore slowly walked in from the outside.
When the old man noticed that Zuo Si was interacting with Fox, a smile appeared on his originally serious face, and then he said: "I think you must be wondering now why you are at the beginning of school. You were handed over to the office on the first day of class, right?"
"No, I've almost guessed it, it must have something to do with the magic stone's ability to resurrect the dead," Zuo Si said. He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
"Oh? So Fudge has already said hello to you?" Dumbledore was obviously surprised.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "That's right. Minister Fudge has made an appointment with me to visit the Department of Mysteries on the weekend of the second week after school starts, and discuss matters about the resurrection experiment. And I also received many messages. The letters sent by the pure-blood family, I believe you should know the contents of these letters based on your rich life experience."
"You agree?" Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and asked.
“I agreed to Minister Fudge’s invitation, but I didn’t respond to the proposals from those pure-blood families. Instead, I burned all their letters. You know, I am very concerned about pure-blood families. I’m not interested in their theory.”
Zuo Si didn’t hide anything and openly stated his handling method.
But this answer obviously did not satisfy Dumbledore.
Because in his opinion, it is better to completely ban such things like death and resurrection from happening, rather than to open a hole in private.
In that case, the entire magical world will be in chaos.
So after a short silence, the old man slowly pulled out his wand and pulled out a ray of silver thread-like memory from his brain and put it into the pensieve. Then he actively invited: "If you are interested, watch a video with me. The dusty memory of the past? "
"What is it about?" Zuo Si asked with a slightly curious tone.
“It’s about some of the mistakes I made when I was young because of my arrogance and stupidity.”
When saying these words, Dumbledore clearly showed a hint of shame.
He knows that he is not as perfect and great as the outside rumors say.
He has made the same mistakes that Snape has made, and he has made the same mistakes that Voldemort has made. It was even because of him that Greenwald set off a revolution in the wizarding world that almost overturned the existing order.
And what he has done in these years is only to repay the debt owed in the past to a certain extent.
"Sorry, Professor, I'm not interested in the mistakes you made, nor do I want to know what you have done in the past.
All I know is that we are two different people, and I will never regret my choice.
If you want to preach to me, unfortunately you have come to the wrong person.
Leave this boring and meaningless behavior to Harry Potter. With his admiration for you, he might listen to it. ”
Zuo Si bluntly chose to refuse.
He knew very well that what Dumbledore wanted to show him was nothing more than the fact that he had witnessed his sister’s death and his break with Grindelwald. That experience.
As a talented wizard, this guy must have attempted experiments like raising the dead.
If nothing else, it must have inevitably caused some tragedies.
So the other party wants to use his own failure case to convince Zuo Si to give up this crazy move. It is best to destroy the magic stone directly to avoid future troubles.
Dumbledore would never have imagined that in another world, resurrecting the dead would not be a big deal at all.
As long as the person died naturally and has enough property to pay for resurrection, many god churches and temples will provide corresponding resurrection services.
Especially in the capital of Amn, Ascatla, many big family heads and heirs, including members of the six-person council, have purchased accidental death insurance from the Church of the Goddess of Wealth.
Yes, you heard it right.
The church in Woking not only provides various currency exchange, business investment, valuables shipping and storage services, but also provides insurance services.
Accidental death insurance is one of the most advanced types.
As long as a large sum of money is paid every year, when these people die due to various accidents, the church will send high-level priests to resurrect them.
Of course, not just anyone can buy insurance like this.
Only the rich and powerful who have been in business for generations and believe in the goddess of wealth are qualified to enjoy such services.
So when it comes to the matter of death and resurrection, Zuo Si's attitude is very casual, not at all as serious and cautious as people in this world.
He understands the nature of death and also understands that the so-called resurrection from the dead is just a process of using life energy to reshape the body and then bring the soul back from the afterlife.
In Faerûn, due to the afterlife, many souls do not lose their memories for a long time.
Therefore, resurrection magic or magic often requires the consent of the deceased himself.
But in this world, resurrection does not seem to require the consent of the deceased. When the spell or alchemical potion takes effect, the soul will be pulled back to the body in an instant, completely affected by any external factors.
"You want to explore the nature of death and the world after death?" Dumbledore was keenly aware of Zuo Si's intention.
Zuo Si smiled and nodded: "Yes. The nature of time and the nature of death are areas that are considered taboo in traditional magic. I am eager to find out. If you want to stop it, Then come here, I will not stop moving forward anyway."
"You lack a heart of awe," Dumbledore said seriously.
"Lack of awe?
No, professor, I am in awe of everything that is more powerful than myself, whether it is a person or something.
But if you choose to give up just because of awe If I pursue the truth and use ignorance and ignorance as a shield, I would rather die on the way forward
I am very happy to be able to tell you these things clearly in person today
If there is nothing else. I’ll take my leave now.”
After saying that, Zuo Si put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly, then turned and walked out of the principal's office.
Less than three or five seconds after he closed the door, the shadow of an old man with nearly all his hair falling out and a face full of wrinkles suddenly appeared next to Dumbledore out of thin air, speaking in a slightly emotional tone. Said: "Smart! Reasonable! Excellent magic talent! And that extremely stubborn character! He is so similar to you when you were young, Albus."
"Are you sure Soth really doesn't use it? Created with my blood and magic?" Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Of course, I'm very sure. Because if I did it, I would definitely not deny it. You should know this best." The old man's tone contained affection.
His words instantly softened Dumbledore's attitude. He took a deep breath and said, "I believe you have seen how amazing the potential he has."
"Ah! I'm not blind, of course I can see. Especially exploring the nature of time and death, this ambition is much greater than when we were young. Compared with him, Tom Riddle is like a street guy. You little bastard. Sometimes I really don’t know what you are worried about." The old man said with strong dissatisfaction.
"You don't understand, Gellert. If Soth was really created by magic, then they must have some ulterior motive. Before figuring out the truth of the matter, I We will never take it lightly." Dumbledore expressed his inner worries.
Obviously, he had already investigated Zuo Si's life experience privately, and confirmed that there were no wizards in his ancestors for several generations.
There is no doubt that those documents and memories that took a lot of time to forge finally came in handy at this time.
Even though Dumbledore himself took action, he still didn't notice anything strange.
Just the opposite!
This made him even more convinced that Zuo Si was a child created by someone using some magic to have the Dumbledore family, or even his own blood.
The old man known as Gellert sneered and asked: "So what? Haven't you noticed Soth's mature character and firm self-will? Even if those who created him had no intention of Good intentions, there is no way to exert any influence on it now, because a wizard like him can never be manipulated by anyone."
"Oh - I hope so. "Okay." Dumbledore sighed slightly.
At this point, there is really not much he can do.
After all, the biggest difference between Zuo Si and Voldemort is that the latter always tries to circumvent the law and all rules and does whatever he wants unscrupulously.
But the former places itself within the rules and legal framework. Although it will use various means and loopholes to achieve its goals, in general it will not break the existing rules at will, at least not on the surface. .
And everything Zuo Si does often benefits the people around him and even more.
So no matter what he does, there will always be a large group of supporters around him.
This was true last time when the technology for making magic scrolls and storing spells was created, and this is also true when it comes to using the Philosopher's Stone to resurrect the dead. Even Professor McGonagall, who had been silently supporting Dumbledore, was shaken.
The more he understood, the more Dumbledore felt how terrifying this young man was.
Even though he made few friends in school, he even had a very poor relationship with the students of Slytherin House.
While Dumbledore was secretly investigating Zuo Si, he himself, who had just finished a day of classes, had quietly left the castle under the leadership of Snape and came to a place in a valley in the countryside. house.
As soon as she opened the door and walked into the living room, Lily, who was as beautiful as a girl in a white dress, ran out of the kitchen and gave Snape a warm hug.
The two of them kissed each other like this for a minute.
It wasn't until Zuo Si couldn't stand it anymore and coughed hard that he avoided being treated like dog food.
"Ah! Sorry, I didn't even notice you brought the guests back." Lily suddenly shrank her neck like a frightened little animal.
"Don't worry, he is not technically a guest."
Snape had a happy smile on his face and gently helped his lover stroke the hanging ear. Long hair, eyes full of adoration.
It is estimated that if this scene were seen by other students and professors at Hogwarts, most likely their jaws would drop and they would start to wonder if the Potions Professor was someone else pretending to be someone else.
"I'll go cook first, and you guys can chat slowly."
Lily turned around and returned to the kitchen very wisely, and even took the initiative to close the door.
"It seems that you have recovered your lost love and everything, right? If you don't mind, can you tell me when you plan to have a wedding? When do you plan to give Harry Potter a baby? Brother or sister?" Zuo Si pursed his lips and teased.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that a person's character could go from one extreme to another.
Look at Snape's reaction now. There is no trace of gloominess and melancholy at all. He is just like a standard winner in life.
Especially this unknown house, which may look like an ordinary farmhouse from the outside.
But when you walk in, you will find that the inside is completely modeled after castles and luxury villas.
Whether it is furniture, furnishings or decoration design, it all reveals a kind of luxury that cannot be described in words. Even the presidential suite in a five-star hotel looks so shabby in comparison.
What is the real beauty hidden in the golden house?
This is it!
If it were any woman, if a man was willing to build such a house for her, she would probably be hard-pressed to refuse.
What's more, Snape is not ugly, and his feelings for Lily are completely true, and he is even willing to die for her.
It is normal to fall quickly under the dual offensive of material and emotions.
From the intimate behavior of the two people just now, it is not difficult to tell that they have probably slept in the same bed for a long time, and it is not worth making a fuss about "human death" in a few months.
The only question is whether Harry Potter is mentally prepared for this unexpected surprise.
Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility of being frightened...
