Chapter 931 [Chapter 5] 17
There were sparks in Ginny's eyes.Liu Quan thought for a second that she was going to blurt out to defend herself or fight back.But she really underestimated Lily Evans.Or maybe she, a time-traveling woman who was not very familiar with the plot of the original work before she entered this world, especially the plot of her own generation, had never really understood this brave mother who was "the savior" and the only one in Snape's life. The woman with the title "True Love".
The expression on Ginny's face quickly turned to deep thought, although she still seemed to be a little angry.
"Maybe you know something that I should know, but don't know yet?" She asked tentatively, her blue eyes tightly locked on Liu Quan's face.
Liu Quan paused for a moment before answering.
Maybe she shouldn't be such a virgin.In any case, it is she who now occupies the body of Lily Evans.That said, she is the only Lily Evans in the world.
The system bacteria asked her to come here to repair this sub-world that was in an extremely dangerous state—it shouldn't be to let her save Lily's life, and then bridge Snape and Lily, right?
...but her conscience kept clamoring.She had stolen Lily's body, and could no longer shamelessly steal her love.Even if she loves James Potter as in the original book, she shouldn't steal the love that should belong to the real Lily, whether that love comes from James Potter or Severus Snape.
She raised her face, smiled decadently, and let out a long breath.
Well, let God's be God's and Merlin's be Merlin's.She is not a thief, and she doesn't bother to rely on this painted skin to cheat for feelings that don't belong to her.She is also a good girl, and she should win everything by her own efforts.
She turned her eyes away, looked at a corner of the office, and said softly: "Perhaps you should know that Severus promised Albus, as long as Albus can guarantee your—I mean, the real Lily — for his safety, he would do anything for it.”
After a pause, she emphasized the word that everyone had already engraved in their hearts.
"Anything."
She heard Ginny gasp sharply. "Oh no! How could Sev... how could Professor Dumbledore..."
Liu Quan cut off Ginny's exclamation neatly, "And, his wish is that Albus protect you, and your family—that is, James Potter and Harry Potter—safe."
Under Ginny's shocked gaze, Liu Quan finally turned to Ginny, looked deeply into those blue eyes, and said slowly, "... Lily, he is willing to exchange everything he has for you and your husband And the safety of your son, despite how unbearably and rudely your husband treated him back then."
She wouldn't have told the real Lily that if it wasn't for Dumbledore's sarcastic reminder, Snape wouldn't be so noble that even Potter and his son would have saved him.
He is a Slytherin's poisonous snake lurking in the deepest darkness, ready to spit out his letter at any time for a final fight, not a beautiful and harmless golden python.He is not as holy a father as she described, but she doesn't mind misleading the so-called love rival (?) in front of her with a little fact that has been carefully cut out, and pricks her righteous and shining heart.
I don't know if it was her illusion, but under the clean and bright light burning in the eyes of the real Lily, she felt that this fake face of hers was particularly sinister and hideous.
Ginny's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe what was coming out of that familiar mouth.She took a step back and hissed in a voice that seemed to be out of breath: "No... how is this possible... Aren't you interceding for him? You think the more you talk about Sif in front of me If you say good words, I can believe in your kindness, and I can't bear to expose you?!"
Liu Quan smiled, stared at Ginny with Lily's emerald green eyes, and said calmly: "I can actually understand your anger... When I woke up, I found that my soul was expelled from my body. And that impostor is still doing well at Hogwarts with his own face, even bewitching your trusted friends; your anger is completely justified-but please think before making a decision Consider the difficult reality right now. The Order of the Phoenix can't be regarded as having the upper hand right now, and the Ministry of Magic is still lagging behind...And you plan to let the Order of the Phoenix lose one more man who can fight and help at this time?"
Perhaps it was because she chose a more witty and relaxed statement, so although her words were sharper, there was not much offended emotion on Ginny's face.
Ginny lowered her eyes, as if she really considered the weight implied in Liu Quan's words just now.
Liu Quan secretly observed the expression on her face, and then decided to go one step further.
"What you're going to do now doesn't actually threaten me at all. If you know Miss Weasley's past experience, you can think of this-no one will be in a once brave Auror, now Between a respected professor at Hogwarts and a weak-willed female student who was once bewitched by a mysterious man's Horcrux and opened the secret chamber, choose to believe that female student, right?" She asked sharply.
... in one sentence.
Ginny raised her head abruptly, glaring at her with an angry look on her face, but for a while, it seemed that there was no reason to directly refute her.
Liu Quan continued: "I'm telling you this because you're supposed to know all of this. Severus doesn't love this look, otherwise he would have married me long ago, wouldn't he?"
Ginny gasped in surprise.
...Ah, I finally said it.Liu Quan thought.
To be frank, I might be able to get a HE relationship line early, but must everyone be involved in the end, and all BEs be returned?The love line of the offspring is so simple, why is the love line of the parent generation so complicated?Is this the legendary "Others want money when they fall in love, but they want to die when they fall in love"——
Liu Quan took a deep breath, and then decided to do good deeds every day, pretending to be a handy villain to help Snape gain favorability - and also to whitewash her words and deeds; otherwise, she would not be able to explain that she did not I grew up together in Cokeworth, and my childhood sweetheart has a good relationship. Why did you continue to show kindness to Snape for so many years despite Snape's sarcastic remarks? Except for the emotional reason of "being deeply moved", it is true. There is no better reason for all this.
"...You know that if the marriage between us can be convenient for him, I will not refuse. But he didn't...he chose to use everything he has in exchange for the safety of your family! This kind of love is like a saint. It's unbelievable! But I can't help but be touched by his actions, even though it's not for me... You don't have to worry about him being fooled by me as an imposter, because he never saw it I am a fake!"
Ginny's blue eyes opened as wide as they could go, and she was almost overwhelmed by Liu Quan's outburst, reckless momentum; while confessing her shameful secret of nest dove possession, the imposter's outburst The aura that came out swept everything away, so confident that even she couldn't help dancing with the other party's wishes.
"But... how long are you going to let me keep the secret?" She asked, her voice was a little low and trembling at first, and then became more and more high-pitched because of the emergence of certain emotions.
"Even if Sif is safe and has never been deceived by you... But, what kind of critical situation is now, I don't need to repeat it again! Seeing that the entire wizarding world is going to push Harry to such a critical juncture... In a dangerous position, I can't stand by! But as Ginny Weasley, what I can do is too limited—"
Liu Quan couldn't help raising his head and exhaled impatiently, and then asked sharply: "So you think being Lily Evans again can make Harry no longer receive special attention from the Dark Lord? You know It wasn't us who pushed Harry to that position, it was the Dark Lord!"
Ginny blurted out: "Even if we want to fight the Dark Lord, we still have some adult wizards...! It's too...!"
Oh - thought Liu Quan.
exactly.
Actually...that's the point, right?
She was indeed the smartest girl in Gryffindor back then.Ginny—or, in other words, the real Lily—did not bring up Harry's safety, which was actually her most important proposition, to negotiate with Liu Quan, the imposter, from the very beginning.
Perhaps it was because she felt that Liu Quan, the fake Lily, was just Harry's professor—a professor of an unimportant elective course—so the relationship between the fake Lily and Harry was at best a better teacher. It's just a relationship, it's far from the point where she can take Harry's safety into consideration by Liu Quan, a counterfeit.To shake this impostor's determination and calmness, it would be easier and quicker to start with the rumored emotional issues, and hit the nail on the head——
In a sense, Ginny's choice was not wrong.For Liu Quan, although she loves Harry, ensuring Harry's safety no matter when and where is not her number one priority.In fact, the proposition of [make sure Harry is safe] is not as touching as the proposition of [take out the wand and point at Severus Snape, and say to give him an Avada], which can touch Liu Quan's nerves more.
Ginny—the real Lily—was Harry's mother, who would have sacrificed her own life to protect Harry.Her appeal and Liu Quan's purpose could not be completely consistent.The way she tried to force Liu Quan to give in—【I'm going to expose you in front of Severus and Dumbledore!Let them know that you are not to be trusted!I will never listen to any of your words from now on! ], in the final analysis, there was no wrong choice; it's just that the timing was still wrong.
...Maybe Ginny knew the timing was wrong too.But as a mother - she can't stand by and watch her underage son forced to face the Dark Lord alone who can't even the greatest White Wizard Dumbledore.That's why she couldn't hold back her anger and chose to attack now.
It's just that she probably didn't know that Dumbledore and Severus Snape knew that the current Lily Evans was a complete fake.
... no, not right.
Liu Quan suddenly realized something.
Even if Dumbledore and Snape already knew the truth about the "real and fake Lily", it didn't matter.What Ginny is seeking is actually the position that "Lily Evans" now holds—an important member of the Order of the Phoenix, who has enough say over all affairs, and every opinion is valued and adopted by others—so that Then she can try her best to speak out to protect Harry's interests and safety at any time; if someone proposes a plan to take Harry to risk, she can desperately oppose and disrupt that terrible and desperate plan ——
Because, after all, the real Lily wants Harry to be safe.But she, the fake Lily, wanted the safety of Severus Snape.This is an irreconcilable contradiction between the two of them.
After trying to understand these complicated and tortuous backgrounds and changes in mentality, Liu Quan curled his lips.
"I'm sure Albus has plans of his own," she replied flatly. "And this plan should not include pushing Harry out alone, while all of us adult wizards are shivering under Harry's shelter."
Ginny glared at her.
But Liu Quan did not back down.
"The only thing I need you to do now is to send me an unbreakable spell to ensure that our conversation today will not reach the ears of a third person, and it will not cause anyone to suffer in front of the mysterious person in the future. What danger!..." Her face darkened, she slightly raised her voice, and said in a stern tone.
Ginny seemed intimidated by Liu Quan's aura, her voice softened.
"...anyone?" she mumbled. "Who would You-Know-Who use against this secret?"
Liu Quan paused, but did not say the name of Severus Snape.
If Dumbledore, knowing all this, thought he could tell the real Lily that Snape had been undercover for him among the Death Eaters, then of course he would.However, this is not something that Liu Quan can decide on his own, and she has no right to do it for her.
"Miss Weasley," she heard her own voice, which suddenly became as sweet and seductive as if she had eaten a lot of honey candies at Dumbledore's. "If you don't trust me, at least trust Albus's judgment?"
The author has something to say:
February 5:
Yes!In fact, I risked the risk of OOC to write this brain hole. The original idea was very simple, just to let Lily know what steps the professor can do for her【.
Of course, maybe Lily knows it, and at most it just increases her friendship with him a lot. That's better than nothing all this time, isn't it【.
