Chapter 323
Chapter 323
Since the task time limit stipulated by the system bacteria is three days, and they have to take the test of transfiguration on the second day, Liu Quan took out a pair of courage to cut through the mess, and set the duel on the morning of the third day—it happened to be a Saturday. After the fight, you can go back to the dormitory to rest and recover blood and blue.
The professor of Charms, Flitwick, seemed to have heard about what happened at the Black Lake that day. He seemed a little surprised that the two parties in the dispute chose the old-fashioned solution of "dueling with spells", but he immediately Expressed his support and approval, and proposed to complete the duel in an undisclosed manner.
Liu Quan felt that Professor Flitwick's proposal was very good.Basically, she just wanted to resolve the dispute, complete the task, and give Snape a reason of [the friendship with Lily will not be ruined, there is no room for redemption], and she didn't want to make the situation worse, and finally make it go forward like a circus The crowds of people who came to watch were simply huge.
So Professor Flitwick kindly provided a large empty classroom as a duel venue, and he stood aside as a referee and witness.After announcing the rules of the duel, such as "It is forbidden to use life-threatening curses", "It is forbidden to attack from behind", "If one side is injured, both sides must stop attacking immediately", etc., he let Liu Quan and Snape Stand a few steps apart facing each other, and announce the start of the duel.
After the two sides bowed to each other, turned around and walked back to both ends of the classroom, Snape didn't rush to attack—he didn't even cast any spells, but just took a step back, erecting his wand in front of his face defensively, However, he didn't make any attack, startled Liu Quan who almost took a big step forward and shouted a spell quickly.
"Quick ban—" she bit the tip of her tongue in time, swallowing the last syllable.
Professor Flitwick noticed this too, and opened his eyes a little bit puzzled.
"...Snape? Why not attack?"
Faced with Professor Flitwick's interrogative sentence, Snape only slightly lifted his lips, and replied slowly and in a low voice: "...It is allowed by etiquette to let the lady take the lead."
... Who are you kidding!You are so dark, but you have never worried about any etiquette issues from the beginning to the end!At least that's how it was in the original!Could it be that the same person wrote you down!
Liu Quan opened his mouth, feeling that he had a lot to say for a while, but suddenly he felt that it was a waste of time to keep arguing with each other.
Since Snape himself had some apologies to the real Lily—because, anyway, his phrase "Mudblood" offended the real Lily, the real Mudblood—so he planned to use this method to silently express his apologies to Lily. Regret and apology, though the real Lily herself might not be here?
Liu Quan sighed.
"Grind and hooray!"
She yelled suddenly, without warning.
Snape blocked it with his wand, blocking the flash of light from her wand.
She pressed again.
"Stop stiff legs!"
Snape blocked the light of the spell again with his wand.
Professor Flitwick, who was watching from the side, had a smile on his face—watching the duel between two outstanding young wizards was originally a pleasant enjoyment for a professor—but when he saw this, his brows frowned slightly, Touching his chin with his right hand, he had a thoughtful expression.
"The directions of the spells all deviate from the target..." he murmured, "the other one doesn't attack at all... This kind of duel is really a game for little wizards, it won't help to solve the problem..."
Liu Quan, who was standing closer to him, heard this sentence.
...It needs the real approval of the witnesses to be considered acceptable, right?
She watched Snape between spells and spells.
He just kept defending, kept retreating, but didn't fight back; he had almost retreated to a corner of the classroom, but still didn't fight back, as if all her efforts couldn't provoke him.
Liu Quan's green eyes that belonged to Lily Evans finally shone with anger.
"This is not a fair duel! And I don't want it! Do your best! Mr. Snape!"
Snape's body trembled suddenly.Greasy black hair sticking to his face with a little sweat, he has already retreated into a corner, leaning his back against the wall, breathing heavily.His black eyes were strangely bright, and the wand was held in his right hand which was vainly covering his chest. He still didn't speak, and he didn't fight back.
Liu Quan suddenly put away his advancing posture, straightened his body, turned his head and nodded respectfully to Professor Flitwick, who was a witness, and said, "I request to restart this duel. Professor, as you can see, It's unfair that Mr Snape has been holding back on me because he feels guilty about me. I'm not willing to take advantage of that to win an unfair and unconvincing victory."
The small Professor Flitwick looked a little surprised, but he quickly smiled at his favorite Charms student and nodded his approval.
Before Professor Flitwick gave the order, Liu Quan suddenly raised his hand to signal him, and then, instead of returning to his original position, he walked up to Snape, staring into his eyes.
They've never been this close since their breakup.Even at the lakeside that day, Liu Quan just stood a few steps away from him, carefully keeping the distance between them, to avoid further angering him, and hoped that he would not be overwhelmed by the bullying of the foursome of the predators and her treatment of him. Deceived and lost his mind, he uttered the irreversible and tragic line in the original book.It's a pity that he still blurts it out, so she has to do more to prevent his fate from repeating the path that leads to tragedy in the original book.
...After all, she accepted the character's side mission.If you accept it, you must complete it, and you must do your best.Even if he didn't break with Lily, he might grow into another person, but she didn't understand until that day at the Black Lake that as long as Severus Snape was alive, some things would never change.
She never dared to forget that night in the Room of Requirement, when he pointed the cold tip of his stick at her throat and asked her where she hid the real Lily.
From that day on, like a frightened bird, she carefully avoided any chance that might offend him again, hoping that after he calmed down, he would understand her helplessness and difficulties, stop showing so much resistance, and cooperate with her to complete his task well. But before they candidly solve this cancer-like problem, the Mudblood incident happened.
Liu Quan decided that she had to say something to him no matter what, otherwise she wouldn't wait until the finale, and her mission would fail.Without his trust, she couldn't think of any other way to stop him in the end.
Without the love and guilt for Lily, maybe he would not have promised Dumbledore to be a double agent; but with his current fascination and research on the dark magic and the powerful power promised by the Dark Lord, it is difficult to stop him Don't go to the Dark Lord's side and gradually move closer.Maybe the ending would be worse then - as a true Death Eater, what chance did he have of surviving the Great War?
Although it was not impossible to say these things another day, Snape was often blown away by her impostor before she finished her words.Now the timing is perfect, with Professor Flitwick watching, there is no need to worry that Snape will leave without listening to her words——
"Severus, I hope you can calmly listen to me and not get angry," she said quickly.
"You said very bad things that day. The repercussions of this matter will not be quelled soon without the duel being raised publicly - at worst, between Gryffindor and Slytherin The conflict is intensified. You and I don't want to see this result, do we?"
Snape seemed a little surprised.He was silent, his eyes flashed, and he didn't answer.
Liu Quan lowered his voice a little more, and said: "...I also know that you are unwilling to express friendship to me, and I can understand why you do so, but I hope that we can at least maintain the original friendship on the surface— —You don’t want to be mistaken by others for having broken off with…some important friend, so when she comes back in the future, how will you explain it to her? "
Snape looked like he was flabbergasted.
Since the day when she confessed that she was indeed a fake under his pressure, except for the incident at the lake that they had to talk to, they had never talked so much at once-although these words were still Liu Quan's words. It was instilled in him unilaterally.
Liu Quan couldn't make it obvious because of Professor Flitwick, but she was sure that Snape understood her meaning.Because when she mentioned the title "she", she could clearly see Snape's dark pupils shrunk slightly, revealing an expression of extreme pain for a moment.
Liu Quan looked at him with trepidation, and there was a hint of pleading in his eyes.
There was a hint of defensiveness in his gaze at her, but he finally took a deep breath, nodded, and didn't speak.
For some reason, Liu Quan felt a sense of relief, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.She nodded at Snape, turned her head and walked back to stand at the end of the room again, raising her wand again.
This time they all acted quite cautiously.As a future Master of the Dark Arts, Snape was not as good at Charms now as Lily Evans—or, for that matter, Willow Springs—was.Since the spells he created can basically be classified as black magic, he didn't dare to use them openly in front of Professor Flitwick—not to mention that Liu Quan believed that he would not really use those powerful magic The spell greeted Lily, even though the only real Lily left was her body.
But based on what he learned in the Charms class, Liu Quan undoubtedly got the upper hand from Lily's talent.I have to admit that Lily is a very talented wizard. Liu Quan remembers that in the original book, Lily learned quite well in spells, transfiguration and potions.But now, when Liu Quan cast the spell with Lily's body, he felt his heart move freely and smoothly.
Sometimes she even felt that this body was reacting instinctively, rather than her will ordering this body to respond—and this body's instinct was actually better than her brain, and it responded quite precisely .Liu Quan admits that even her thoughtful decision is unlikely to be much better.
So all of a sudden, in this empty classroom, Lily Evans' figure was nimbly moving around and magic spells were flying around. It seemed that Snape was completely at a disadvantage.
