Chapter 312 [HP Special Edition Spoiler]
Snape was silent for a moment before asking: "...What are you going to do next?"
After hearing his words, Liu Quan felt a little sad and wanted to laugh.
What else can I do.Go home if you can.Her mission has been completed, although not without injuries, but she finally passed the level successfully.Now the world doesn't need her anymore, just as the system bacteria said, the world will continue to develop on its own after returning to health and returning to the right track.
Although he doesn't know how many difficult tasks he will have to face in the future, Liu Quan believes that System Bacteria will eventually fulfill his promise and send her home.At that time she will find that she just slept a long sleep and had a very long and difficult dream.After waking up from the dream, the magical world inside will disappear like a soap bubble, and she will continue to face the real world that she has almost forgotten.
But these words cannot be said to the person in front of him.In fact, these words cannot be spoken to anyone.Even though this is a magical world full of magical things, time travel is too fantastical.
Liu Quan heard the man in front of him raise his voice a little impatiently, "Huh?!"
Only then did Liu Quan realize that he had been in a daze for too long.She smiled at him apologetically, but received no response as usual.But now she doesn't care about that much.For her, parting seemed like a doomed to-do that popped up before her eyes.So in the face of the farewell that is close at hand, any past - except those who are really evil and bad people or things - seems so nostalgic.
"I don't know either." Liu Quan answered frankly, paused, and then added a little hesitantly: "Maybe... go home?"
"Go home?!" Snape's voice instantly raised an octave, with a beautiful glide like a cello.But Liu Quan was sure that there was displeasure in his tone.
"Where do you want to go back?" He dragged his voice, his eyes were sharp and sharp like a scalpel, as if he wanted to pick out all the details of her impostor whose background was a mystery. "Speaking of which, you seem to have never confessed your real hometown and your real identity...even your real name." He said sarcastically.
Liu Quan smiled bitterly, and said softly, almost in a whisper: "...No, the name is not important."
Names don't matter, identities don't matter.Those getting along, those understandings, the friendship and memories born in those years spent together... those are the most important.However, it is useless to say these now.
She just wanted to make a small rant to herself, not to make Snape hear her answer.But Snape's hearing was extremely sharp, his eyes narrowed for an instant, and when he was about to say something, he stopped suddenly, and a few seconds later, his face revealed an expression of disbelief.
"Very well, even if you don't want to tell us your real name, what about the other things? You... you impostor, don't you ever say the truth from your mouth?"
Liu Quan's breath was suffocated.In fact, she had already expected this kind of accusation, but when she heard it with her own ears, she still felt a little inexplicably sad.
She had grown too far in this dream, grown too old, changed so much that she could no longer recognize herself in reality.She has already passed an age that she has never experienced in reality, but looking back now, the past that should have been filled with this grand story is so empty that even she can't find many good memories.Even so, she is still very nostalgic, but even if she is nostalgic, she can no longer stay.
This story is over.He will unknowingly start a new story, just as she will set foot on the familiar world again.
Liu Quan couldn't help but sighed.
"Yes...we are all about to start a new life..."
Then she seemed to suddenly realize that as a mature 38-year-old woman who has experienced cruel wars and life-and-death tests, she should not feel sad like a young girl in her 20s. She immediately corrected herself. His demeanor and tone became calm and rigid.
"Anyway, I want to thank you for your continued protection, Severus." She even extended her right hand to him, as if she wanted to shake his hand in a friendly way. "Many times without you, I don't think I would be able to live to this day. Although you may think that you are ashamed to have such a fake old acquaintance like me, I still have to say that it is an honor to know you."
A deep vertical line formed between Snape's brows.He stared at her friendly hand, but didn't immediately reach out to shake it.
Liu Quan waited for a few minutes, but there was no response from him, so he withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and touched his nose unnaturally as a cover.
"I don't think you can start a so-called new life until you return what you stole." Snape said coldly, mercilessly exposing the hypocrisy she created between the two of them the illusion of friendship.
Liu Quan smiled awkwardly.The smile on her lips lasted only a few seconds before disappearing.
"Are you talking about this appearance? Of course it's not a problem... Now that we know the really effective spell, as long as the auxiliary potion used to cast the spell is completed, it can be..."
Snape interrupted her abruptly.
"When Lily gets her own body back, you're going home?"
Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "...Of course."
She'd better not offend the current headmaster of Hogwarts, who was as dour and aloof as ever.Those truths about this world, those missions that have failed many times, causing the world to be in jeopardy... all dissipate as eternal secrets in the time that no one knows, that's enough.
"How do you go home? Continue your career as a thief and steal Ginny Weasley's body? Or just float back in the form of a soul?" Snape asked mockingly.
But to Liu Quan, his question was very interesting, it sounded like a rare joke.So she smiled slightly, shook her head, and replied evasively: "...I don't know. But when I think about it, Merlin will enlighten me."
The answer was pretty standard, but Snape seemed irritated by her casual attitude.He glared at her angrily, the veins on his forehead throbbing.
"It looks like you can't wait to embrace your new life." His cold and sarcastic, but still cello-smooth voice came out again.Liu Quan recognized that voice and intonation.That meant he was already annoyed to a certain extent.
So she shook her head, and in order to calm his anger that came from nowhere, she replied in a calm tone as much as possible:
"I just want to get things back on track, Severus. Getting things back to the way they were...that's what's best for the world."
Snape glared at her, as if he hadn't grasped the profound meaning behind her two simple sentences.
Of course, he couldn't understand that.Liu Quan didn't intend to hint to the point of making him suspicious and making reasonable speculations.She continued, deftly diverting the subject.
"In the future, I think I will probably be very ordinary, so ordinary that I can live like a Muggle..."
In fact, in the real world, the future of most people is predestined. Studying, working, getting married, having children... will not be as exciting or colorful as here.
Liu Quan thought, probably when he lived to the age of 38 in the real world, he could already see what his future life would look like—what kind of person to marry and what kind of child he would have , what kind of job to do, what kind of people to get along with from seven to eight every day - by the time I am 38 years old, everything will have been determined.Barring accidents, it is unlikely to change.The only thing to be thankful for is that a Dark Lord will not suddenly appear in that world.But there are many bad guys like the Dark Lord, the only difference is whether they use Avada Kedavra or swords, guns and ropes, burning and drowning.
So she thought that she might as well describe to him about such a future that was almost certain.Especially when she couldn't tell him other truths.
Liu Quan continued: "I want to go to a Muggle university - this may sound ridiculous, but I think Muggles have their advantages and knowledge, I should study hard - and then find a job..."
In order to appear very calm and natural, Liu Quan glanced at the gloomy-looking Snape at this point, and then boldly made a small joke. "Since it's impossible for me to get a job at Hogwarts in the future, I thought maybe I could pretend to be a Muggle and apply for a Muggle job - I have no interest in Ministry of Magic jobs - And then, uh..."
Under Snape's cold gaze, Liu Quan's voice became smaller and smaller.But for some unknown reason or psychology, she still had the guts to finish the following words in a stuttering manner, as if she was not afraid of death.
"I think I should also get a husband and have a baby or something so that I don't look too conspicuous in the Muggle world - they'll go on and on with curiosity about an unmarried girl in her thirties. Maybe There will still be enthusiastic people who have been trying to find me a good husband..."
Liu Quan's voice was finally silenced under the tremendous pressure of Snape's full aura.She opened her mouth, not knowing what to do next.Finally, she blinked her eyes, smiled embarrassingly, and rounded up the topic that had gone too far for herself like a whitewash.
"You know, Muggles...the way of doing things is different from wizards after all..."
"...you want to find a Muggle husband?" A sarcastic and cruel voice sounded in Liu Quan's ear, interrupting her meaningless words.That voice was like a piece of dark velvet spread on ice, smooth, mysterious, cold and dangerous.
Liu Quan shuddered unconsciously and subconsciously.
Although Snape had been speaking to her in various impatient, cold, and gloomy tones, she hadn't met him for a long time with such a threatening voice.So Liu Quan had no psychological expectations at all.
...Aren't they looking forward to the future after separation?At that time, she lost even the only advantage he could still appreciate - the real Lily's body and appearance - and she couldn't believe this arrogant Mr. Wizard who once discriminated against Muggles and radically believed in pure-blood theory , would admire a little exotic Muggle girl.That assumption is a hundred times more unreliable than Voldemort's firm belief that slices can live forever.
Thinking about it this way, she felt as if she could convince herself again.Somewhere in his body surged with courage, Liu Quan bravely opened his eyes and looked directly at Snape's face, saying, "I don't deny that this is also one of my possible options in the future."
Her voice fell, and Snape stared at her closely, his gaze as sharp and cold as a hawk.After a few minutes, he finally figured out that she was not joking, but was telling the truth. He laughed angrily, nodded and said, "Very brave, Miss Wizard."
Once Liu Quan turned this sentence in his mind, he understood what he meant.
He must be thinking of his parents, a combination of Muggle father and wizard mother.It didn't go too well, and it didn't end too well; it's a tragedy, isn't it?
But he didn't know that she was a Muggle after all.For her, Muggles are the same kind, partners, and an inseparable group, and they must be respected and work hard to get along with each other.In her world, there are no wizards, no magic, no prophecies, and no miracles.
She looked back at him calmly, as if not at all offended by his malicious sarcasm, and replied, "I know how you feel about Muggles, Severus. I'm sure you know how I feel about Muggles too." I was originally from a Muggle family - both Lily and I - and now, I'm just going back to the old world. I hope you will be happy in the future, I also hope that I can be happy as well…”
"And the way you find happiness is to find a husband for yourself?" He couldn't help mocking her sharply, but he didn't see a series of soap bubbles of confusion, anger, indignation, sadness, etc. on her face. The performance of a violent emotional rebound after a puncture.When she said that, it was as if she was convinced that this was her future.
She nodded calmly and said, "Family is conducive to a happy life. Severus, no one can go through life alone and feel happy and fulfilled - at least I can't. My childhood wish was the future." To be able to have a wonderful family of my own, and I think I still want to be. It's as simple as that."
He looked shocked for a moment, as if it hadn't occurred to him that her wish was so simple, so innocent.It took a long time before he rolled his lips and sneered in her familiar contemptuous tone: "It's really... stupid."
Liu Quan grinned and smiled briefly.
"This is just a little wild fantasy of mine." She said, "I don't know if I can succeed... However, what I can be sure of is that whether I am single or form a family, I have the desire to live a good life for myself, and I am willing to work for you. continuous effort.”

The author has something to say:
2019.7.1. Update:
Because of the extra content in this chapter, I thought about it or should put it in the main text of HP's return, so that the context seems to be more coherent in the development of feelings...
So I removed this chapter. Of course, I won’t let everyone spend money to buy it. In this chapter, I added a new episode with more words than before hhh
The background preset of the new episode is that the girl has 24 hours to say goodbye to the professor before leaving this world, just like the previous worlds
Because this kind of background condition will not appear in the text, it's also interesting to try to think about how they would be if there was such a chance hhh
Because there should be a little more glass slag in HP, so it’s not bad for everyone to eat some sugar, right【.
Please watch slowly
