Chapter 920 [Chapter 5] 6
With a bang, along with a puff of green smoke, Liu Quan stepped out of the fireplace.
...Then she saw the two people who were talking in the Hogwarts headmaster's room, stopped talking, and turned their faces towards the fireplace almost at the same time.
Liu Quan: "..."
Merlin's beard, that's the hell.
She had to use the fireplace to leave Hogwarts today on errands.Dumbledore generously offered to lend the fireplace in the headmaster's office, and kindly asked her to tell him about the affairs when she came back.This request was nothing at all, and she wanted to report the situation to him anyway—but when she left, Dumbledore didn't tell her that he would ask Severus Snape to talk to the principal's office today!
And now, Dumbledore was the first to say to her in that kind tone: "Oh, you're back, Lily. So, is everything going well in the Ministry of Magic today?"
Upon hearing the key word "Ministry of Magic", Snape's eyes immediately caught her face.Those eyes were like sharp knives, which made her feel a burst of pain.
Liu Quan silently sighed inwardly, and replied: "...everything is going well."
She did not describe in detail that she showed her full acting skills at the Ministry of Magic today, vividly playing the role of a very sad person who turned pale and behaved like sleepwalking, but still managed to "bear the grief" to deal with the death of her fiancé. The image of her fiancée in the formalities of her last inheritance; nor did she describe in detail how she had tears in her eyes, her voice was erratic but her tone was forced to be calm, and she wiped the tears under her eyes with a handkerchief—thanks to her early in the supermarket in the Muggle world Good wasabi bought here! ——While taking out the pendant that Sirius gave her as proof, signing the inheritance document with a trembling right hand.
... It is not a big problem to go through the inheritance formalities.The problem is how to suppress the screaming magical portrait in the room at 12 Grimmauld Place, and Kreacher, the eccentric house-elf who is a little bit sinister when facing Sirius.
But Liu Quan decided that he could worry about this problem later.So she simply took out a parchment from her pocket, walked to the table, and placed it in front of Dumbledore.
"This is the signed succession document. No. 12 Grimmauld Place is mine for the time being." She tried to use a strange, robot-like mechanical tone without ups and downs and emotions.
Then, she lightly tapped the rolled parchment with the tip of her wand, and the parchment unfolded automatically, and it was indeed written in dense cursive script, signed "Lily Evans" in the lower right corner This name, there is still a faint golden flowing light on the name.
Dumbledore lowered his head for a quick glance, then raised his head and smiled and nodded towards her, praising: "You've done a good job, Lily. In this way, Sirius' wish and Harry's rights in the future will be granted. Perfect guarantee."
Liu Quan: "..."
For a moment, she felt a little speechless.
Of course, for the sake of victory and to protect Harry, any kind of sacrifice is allowed—not to mention that this is not a sacrifice at all.
It's just a little compromise on reputation, now she can still get an old mansion, right?Then she could go to the big house and act as a hostess to fight back against the old lady hanging on the wall and the house elves hiding in dark corners who were hostile to Sirius.
But now that she was standing here, facing Severus Snape's gloomy eyes, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Maybe he would think that she took pleasure in lying, and was used to pretending to be affectionate to bluff—although he didn't speak, but it was clearly written in his eyes.
Sure enough, Severus Snape spoke, breaking the silence in the room.
"Well, such an important event has probably happened for a while...but no one has mentioned it. It's really... strange."
He said that "strange" with an extremely smooth voice, and he paused before saying the word to emphasize the meaning of the word.After he finished speaking, he deliberately prolonged the ending, and his smooth tone was almost full of sarcasm, which made Liu Quan even more embarrassed.
"No... not at all... Sirius just came up with a whim, and he made this proposal to me just to ensure Harry's inheritance..." She had to explain, "After all, of course he can't sit idly by and let that house go down." The possibility of falling into the hands of Bellatrix—”
"Ah, wonderful," said Snape, "in order to give his house to Pott, a troublemaker like himself, he'd have to find a godmother for Pott Kid - a brilliant plan." , even Merlin's brain can't conceive such a perfect arrangement!"
Liu Quan: "..."
She froze for a moment, her brain might have been a little dulled by Snape's venom, it took her two seconds to react to the key words in Snape's words.
"...Godmother?!" she murmured.
Snape pursed his lips and sneered.
"Yes, 'Godmother'." His voice sounded more like a silky cello, and he sighed three times in just a few words, and the blazing anger was wrapped in a low voice. Not clear, but it makes people feel faint tingling.
"Aren't you happy about that? That stupid dog finally inadvertently gave you a chance to be like the real Lily - nominally the mother of that Potboy! What a perfect plan , What a wonderful arrangement!"
Liu Quan was stunned for a moment.
"Do you... care about this matter?" She asked a little in disbelief.
In fact, before Snape said it, she didn't realize this fact at all-becoming Sirius Black's fiancée in name is equivalent to becoming Harry Potter's quasi-godmother, so her fake Lily also got almost the same as the real one. Lily—Brielle Potter—same status.
Snape probably thought she still had ambitions to replace the real Lily as a fake.However, in fact, if you think about it carefully, the Lily here—the Lily familiar to wizards in the magic world, is actually played by her most of the time?
She didn't want to be the supple and beautiful Lily in the original work, and then become his white moonlight—in fact, she couldn't be his white moonlight, at best, it was just a wipe on the wall that couldn't be wiped off, and she couldn't get rid of it. No, it's just the mosquito blood that I usually look at and worry about--the ambition.No matter how good Lily was in the original work, she would not be envious.
However, wasn't she the one who fought the Death Eaters in the streets as an Auror, and fought wits and courage with the little trolls in Hogwarts as a professor of Muggle studies?Even in her student days, when she was the flower of Gryffindor, she worked hard to learn magic knowledge that she was not familiar with at all, more than half of it was done by her wearing Lily's appearance.
Although she had to replace Lily's name, she felt that she had worked hard enough.Although she felt sorry for him, she didn't think she had done anything well enough to insult the name "Lily Evans".
She saw the Potions professor in front of her—oh no, soon he would no longer be a Potions professor, but would be awarded the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor he had always wanted to be—Sis Ferris Snape, with a cold and complicated look, stared at her condescendingly.
There was a twinge of sadness in that look, and she didn't even know for a moment where that sadness came from.
She took a deep breath, slowly straightened her back under his gaze, and said:
"Harry will be able to come of age in a year's time. At that time, I will hand over 12 Grimmauld Place to him. I am temporarily posing as Sirius' fiancée, just trying to fool the old spells added to that house I've heard that the house rules of the Black family say that the house is only passed down to men with the surname Black. And, there may be some ancient spells and spells on their house to make sure it won't be taken by non-purebred wizards ——Sirius thought of some ways to modify those curses, but he couldn't completely remove them; the best way is to go through the inheritance of such legal procedures, and the documents of the Ministry of Magic probably still have some effect, otherwise, then The heir apparent to the house is going to be Bellatrix—you don't want that to happen, do you? That's the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, you know."
She articulated these words in the calmest of voices, and then, looking directly into Snape's dark eyes, added:
"I have absolutely no intention of taking the place of the real Lily - whether it's her place in other people's minds, or her role as Harry's mother. I respect her bravery and sacrifice, so I want to help her son- — Harry — getting what he deserves. It's as simple as that. I don't know what you think about it, Severus, but for me, I have a clear conscience —"
Her calm tone seemed to stung Snape for a moment.His face contorted violently.
"With a clear conscience? With a clear conscience?!" He repeated her words twice, and smiled with the corner of his mouth crooked. "I should have known that no matter what happens, you will only say this sentence—"
"That's because I am, Severus." Liu Quan said to him calmly and in an unusually gentle tone.
And this calm gesture seemed to suddenly irritate the next Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.He raised his voice slightly.
"...That's because you can be the one who has the last laugh every time!"
Liu Quan:? !
She was stunned.
