Parents of Hogwarts

Outside the Florin Fusco Ice Cream Shop, Callan, Lily and Snape chose a table and sat down.It was obvious that Petunia and Evans' curiosity about the wizarding world had not been completely reduced, so they planned to go shopping again. Lily chose to stay because she felt that Snape's face was still too pale.

Karan generously ordered three portions of ice cream, which made Lily finally couldn't help but ask the same question: "Karan, where did you get so much money?"

Snape looked up at Karan, his eyes inexplicably complicated, as if he didn't want Lily to know that kind of thing.

Karan looked back and forth between the two of them and said casually: "So, you really believe me when I say I'm poor."

"Otherwise" Lily said.

Karan spread his hands: "I'm an orphan with so much money. Do you think it's appropriate to say this? Spider End Alley is not a safe place."

Karan cleverly bypassed the source of the money and instead focused on safety.

As for how Lily figured it out, it was none of Karan's business.

"Don't talk about it anymore." At the critical moment, facing Lily's still suspicious eyes, Karan smiled evilly and told Snape's previous embarrassing story, completely ignoring his murderous look.

What Snape didn't expect was that Lily didn't mean to despise him at all. Instead, she laughed happily and curiously asked Snape if it really tasted that bad.

"I...I don't remember." Snape replied with a red face: "It's hard to describe that feeling..."

After laughing, Lily took care of the orange kitten in her arms. This was a mixed-race cat she had just bought, named Barian, and she was a little girl.

Lily took another bite of the ice cream and asked the two of them hesitantly: "You really don't plan to buy a pet? Doesn't the school allow it?"

Karan shook his head: "The school has a public owl, the toad is too disgusting, and as for the cat..."

Karan glanced at Barian with disgust: "I don't want to find a master for myself."

In response, Balian also looked at Karan with contempt.

One person and one cat immediately stared back and forth.

As for Snape, he didn't say anything. Although he could afford a pet, he obviously didn't want to waste his few galleons on such a useless hobby.

He is far from reaching the level of luxury like Karan or even Lily.

"That's right." At this time, after Karan glared at Barian again, he simply looked away and said to Lily at the same time: "When you go back, take Snape with you. Come on, otherwise it will be difficult for him to get so many things by himself."

"What about you?" Before Lily could say anything, Snape asked doubtfully, "How are you going back?"

Karan shook his head: "I won't go back. I plan to live in the Leaky Cauldron until school starts. It won't be long anyway, and I won't need too much money."

Lily and Snape looked at each other, both of them ignored Karan's rich man's speech, but asked him: "Why do you suddenly stop going back, then when we... "

Karan shook his head again: "I have already got the train ticket, and I will probably wait until school starts to see you again. As for why I don't want to go back..."

Callan had no choice but to repeat what he had said to Dumbledore:.

"Because it's an orphanage."

Snape and Lily fell silent together.

For a long time, although the two of them have not forgotten it, they have somewhat ignored this fact, and have become accustomed to studying or talking together in the woods.The sudden change made both of them unbearable for a while, including Snape.

After all, he didn't have many friends to begin with.

As for Lily, she was more emotional, and her sadness was revealed unabashedly. She ate the ice cream gloomily and didn't even want to say anything.

"No way"

At this time, Karan suddenly shouted, which made Lily and Snape tremble: "I just won't go back to Spider End Alley. You don't need to be in such a hurry to arrange a funeral for me in advance."

Lily glared at Karan. She was coughing so much that she couldn't speak. Snape quickly wanted to pat her back, but stopped as soon as he stretched out his hand.

Karan looked at this scene quite amusedly: "Okay, I'm leaving now. You can just tell your parents and Penny what they want. I'll explain it again if you don't mind."

After saying that, Karan used the wand in his hand to cast several beautiful levitating spells and moving spells, and walked away with the luggage, leaving only Lily and Snape staring at each other in their seats.

"He's really gone?" Lily asked in disbelief. At the same time, she turned and glanced back, but Karan was no longer there.

Snape was also surprised by Karan's decisiveness, and looked behind him: "I think so, he walked so fast."

But it didn't take long for Snape to suddenly realize the fact that he and Lily were the only two people left here.

Could it be that Karan did it on purpose? Snape thought with some confusion.

Lily's performance was much more generous than him. She just pouted angrily, and then she seemed to suddenly think of something. She frowned and asked Snape a little squeamishly: "Dark magic."

"What?" Snape hadn't recovered yet.

"Dark Magic" Lily tapped the table rhythmically with her spoon: "Severus, your wand, the heart nerve of the fire dragon."

"Oh, yes." Snape nodded numbly: "He has a tendency towards dark magic, yes."

"Severus" Lily yelled angrily: "Are you listening to me? Callan said that."

Upon hearing this topic, Snape couldn't help but frowned, and he forcefully defended: "Dark magic is not all what Karan said. Many of it is just a joke, and..."

"Power." Lily took over Snape's words: "Power, I know, this is what Karan said. But did you see the floating spell Karan just cast? I remember you said that it was all from the beginning. I learned it from Feather, but do you think you can compare with Karan? In this case, do you still think black magic is that powerful?"

Although he heard Lily comparing herself with Callan, Snape could not feel any anger in his heart. He just replied dully: "Callan is different."

Snape repeated: "He is different."

"Severus."

At this time, Lily's tone suddenly softened, as if something could no longer be suppressed.

"Do you remember what Mr. Ollivander said?"

"Do you really want to... die with honor?"

Snape looked at Lily blankly, as if this was the first time he had officially met Lily.

But he finally swallowed back the words in his heart.

If it's for you.

I will.
