Time did not slow down as Lily or Snape said. Lily stayed at Hogwarts until mid-July before being sent to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix at 12 Grimmauld Place by Snape. It was a building that Lily didn't like. She would rather stay in Hogwarts until school started than come to such a strange place to face these strange people.

Snape brought Lily here on the [-]th of July, and they took the Muggle route - the subway. They didn't stand in front of that building until late in the evening, because they were said to be afraid of being discovered by Muggles. , so both of them wore ordinary clothes. Lily picked out a few clothes for Snape in the last semester, but most of them were black.

Seeing Snape's cautious look, Lily complained to the Order of the Phoenix in her heart, thinking that they shouldn't have found a place where Muggles gathered in the first place.

The extra door, with its battered black paint and many scratches, the silver doorknob twisted into a snake shape, and no keyhole or letterbox on the door, looked like a strange The abandoned broken boards leaning there are disgustingly ugly.

After entering the door, Lily became even more irritable. There was thick dust in the room, and the rotten wallpaper was covered with mildew. This terrible environment made Lily feel that every second here was a torment.

She looked at Snape longingly, "Dad! I want to leave, I don't like this." But Snape didn't give Lily the answer she wanted, he just tightened the corners of his mouth, paused, Looking at the front of the dark corridor with a serious expression, Lily could see his sharpened profile and deep nasolabial folds when she looked up. The dark gray and wrinkles under his eyes were telling Lily that he was tired.

Lily lowered her head sadly, stretched out her hand to hold Snape's cold palm, Snape flinched violently as if scalded by something, but soon relaxed and let Lily hold it, Lily's hand was warm Yes, Snape seemed to have gained some strength from it, and pulled Lily to the end of the corridor.

At the end is a chocolate-colored door with square decorative lines and a silver blackened snake-shaped handle. Lily swears that she doesn't want to touch that thing at all. Good association, everything here makes Lily very upset, as if nothing is going her way.

The door was pushed open by Snape, and there was a somewhat dirty dining room with some people sitting around long tables, some of whom Lily knew - such as Professor Moody; such as Professor Lupine; such as Sirius Black and the Headmaster with the big white beard.

"Oh! Severus, you are here. I was wondering when you will arrive." Dumbledore stood up first, invited Snape into the dining room and sat down. Everyone else looked at Snape strangely. Snape and Lily were holding hands, and when Snape wanted to break free, Lily held onto him tightly. She looked up at Snape's face again, but nothing could be seen on it, even the fatigue just now Like an illusion.

"Okay, Molly, Lily will spend the holiday here like Hermione, I hope you can take good care of her." Dumbledore first introduced Lily, probably because they both knew Snape, and then Lily saw He spoke to a red-haired woman in the adjacent kitchen.

"Oh! Your name is Lily too? Come on, kid, I'll take you upstairs to your room." The fat, not tall lady with light red hair approached Lily, she smiled kindly, and she directed at Lily She stretched out her hand, but Lily didn't respond, she quietly looked up at Snape, only to see him slightly nodded slightly, then Lily pulled her small box to signal to the lady called Molly Go first, and I will follow her.

Several people at the table watched Lily leave the restaurant following Molly who retracted her hand in a little embarrassment with subtle expressions. Before leaving, Lily thought that maybe this was their meeting room, and it was just combined with the function of the restaurant.

Lily's suitcase is very small, only a circle larger than a suitcase, and there are small wheels on the bottom that can be pulled away, or the wheels can be put away, and the wheels can be put away to form a large suitcase. Big, but that doesn't bother Lily.

"Do you want me to help, child?" Molly stretched out her hand again, and Lily, who had left Snape, returned to her usual polite manner. She smiled and declined Molly's help, and followed Molly to a bedroom on the second floor.

"This house has been empty for too many years, and it hasn't been cleaned up yet. You will share a room with Ginny and Hermione. That's your bed." Molly pointed to the bed next to the wall of the room and said The bed was covered with some faded sheets, and the folds on it were smoothed out. Molly knew that another girl would come, so she prepared the bed early.

"Thank you, Mrs. Mollie."

In the room, Ginny was lying on the bed reading a magazine. Hermione was not there, but there was her book on the other bed. There were a few bookmarks sandwiched between the thick book. Lily recognized that the bookmark belonged to Hermione, and then She cleaned the suitcase with a silent spell before putting it on the bed. The movement of casting the magic was very small and did not attract the attention of the people in the room.

The wallpaper in the room is not as exaggeratedly moldy as the wallpaper outside, but it is barely usable. Lily thinks it's better to clean it up after a while.

Soon Molly came back downstairs, Lily and Ginny nodded as greetings, and Ginny smiled back in a friendly manner.

She didn't know this red-haired girl with baby fat and a little freckles on her face. Although she looked friendly, after Molly went downstairs, Lily followed her down the stairs, but when she wanted to enter the room just now Stopped by Molly.

"Son, this is not the place for you to come. The things they discuss are not suitable for you to know." Molly is actually a very kind woman, and the little embarrassment at that time has not made her care in the later Lily's politeness, she I feel that children should do some children's things instead of participating in those dangerous plans.

Lily didn't say a word, if she had to go in it was fine, at least the black magic she mastered gave her the ability not only to protect herself, but also to not be stopped by others.But she stopped when she touched the wand, and slowly retreated to the steps. After cleaning the steps without a wand, she sat down and took out a bag of biscuits in the small black bag. Before coming here, Lily took many, many cookies from the Hogwarts kitchen elves.

Lily was always very elegant when she was eating, and her voice was very low. She could vaguely hear the voice inside, but it wasn't real. Occasionally, a few unnutritious words like 'nonsense' and 'quiet' were quite clear.

Seeing Lily sitting there obediently, Molly couldn't say anything more. After all, she didn't know much about the child Snape brought, and she didn't even know which college she was from, so she had to turn around and go back to the kitchen. At one point a house-elf walked past Lily pulling an old cardboard box. The box made a banging noise as it was pulled across the stairwell, and the bits and pieces inside collided with each other. It sounded like some kind of metal product. The cloudy green eyes stared straight at Lily, as if they could discover some secrets from Lily, and then left muttering.

Before Lily's biscuits were finished, the chocolate-colored square door opened, and out came first a tall man with dark skin, then a vivacious woman with purple hair, followed by Professor Lupine, Professor Moody, and then It was five people she didn't know, and they walked out of the house through the long hallway, which is what Lily desperately wanted at the moment.

Snape came out before the Headmaster, and Lily stood up from the stairs when he came out, smiling at Snape.

"The holidays will be soon." Snape said as he walked up to Lily. Lily nodded, took out a bag of biscuits from her little black bag, and handed it to Snape, who took it with his hand.

"Take care of yourself, Dad, remember to eat on time." Lily's voice was very low, and Snape reached out and stroked Lily's soft crimson hair, and left through the corridor before Dumbledore came out.

Lily felt that her eyes were sour. She hadn't been away from Snape's side since she started school. This feeling was very bad, especially after spending most of the time with a bunch of people who were obviously at odds with her. Holidays, that's not an easy thing to live with.

After everyone left, everyone who stayed in the house was called to the dining room, where there were a few thick sheets of parchment that looked like some kind of document on the long dining table, waiting for Molly After Madam complained a few words, Sirius Black put them away and put them somewhere else.

The dinner party included Lily, the Weasley twins, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Mrs. Molly and Sirius, not many, but not too small. Lily sat next to Hermione when she sat down, After all, the ones she was familiar with were Hermione and the Weasley twins, and obviously Hermione was the best choice.

"Lily, you're here too!" Hermione's tone contained some kind of unbelievable and embarrassing shock. Lily didn't know what was so shocking about her coming, so she just nodded to Hermione and didn't speak.Dinner was very simple, just some vegetable soup, mashed potatoes and bread, which made Lili, who was used to rich food, unable to eat, but in fact the dishes were delicious, but Lily couldn't taste much, maybe it was psychological The reason is that she felt that she was very awkward at this time. When everyone was eating, they were different from Slytherin. They were discussing some topics enthusiastically. The only thing Lily felt now was that they were out of place, so she only ate a little bread and Don't eat anymore.

"Why don't you eat more, Mrs. Weasley's dishes are delicious." Hermione noticed that Lily didn't eat much, so she recommended it to her. Hermione has been here for three days, and she has already begun to understand the food here. Some are familiar, so the appetite has not been affected.

"Well, I ate before I came here, so I'm not very hungry." Lily smiled and said, Hermione nodded and stopped trying to persuade her.

After the meal, everyone cleaned up the dishes and went back to their rooms. Hermione was not there because she was in Ron's room. They were talking about something like two ears connected by a thin wire.

Lily didn't remember the name of the thing, but the function is the same as a bug. At night, Lily pointed her wand at the wallpaper next to her bed, and the wallpaper looked much better. It was a kind of time magic, It is called [Time Backtracking], and it can restore something to its previous state, but there is a disadvantage that it needs a certain amount of magic support. Once the magic power is no longer provided, it may speed up the flow of the enchanted thing. For example, An apple that would have taken five days to rot would start to rot on the third day, but it seems to be ripening.

Lily felt that there should be no need for these dilapidated wallpapers, so she didn't hesitate at all when casting this spell. [Time Rewinding] was not within the scope of teaching, so Hermione and Ginny woke up the next day without knowing that it was Lily who did it yesterday. Late hands and feet made the wallpaper better, the house was full of magic, and Hermione and Ginny spread it everywhere without making a fuss.

"My name is Ginny Weasley, hello." After a few people tidied up before going to bed at night, Ginny began to introduce herself, reaching out to Lily, and Lily also reached out and shook Ginny's hand, "You Well, my name is Lily Morin, just call me Lily."

On the first night in the Order of the Phoenix, Lily suffered from insomnia, and it was difficult to talk to Sasha directly. Meow Miao obediently lay beside Lily and did not go on an adventure just because she changed to a new location.

Lily, who tossed and turned for a long time, didn't sleep for a while until it was almost dawn, and then woke up early. Looking at the bright sky, Lily decided to get up from the bed, carefully washed herself with a silencing spell, and sat on the bed. She started reading beside the bed. Before coming here, she took a lot of books on black magic and potions from Snape to pass the time. She didn't know what she could do in the Order of the Phoenix?There are people cooking, and there are no magic plants to take care of, and looking at the surrounding environment, it doesn't look like they can make potions.

While reading a book, she touched Meow Miao who was also awake one after another. This kind of quietness made Lili regain some familiarity, and her restless heart calmed down a lot. Until around six o'clock in the morning, the house began to sound the sound of cooking. The voice, Mrs. Molly came up to wake up a few people to prepare for dinner.

After the meal, Mrs. Molly announced that everyone's work during this period was to clean the house together, and assigned tasks to everyone. The first thing to clean was the kitchen and dining room, as well as several bedrooms upstairs.

Sometimes a large number of people does not bring much efficiency to the work. I did not clean up a lot of things in the morning (or it may be because of the heavy workload, so I can’t see it). Most of the things that were cleaned up were magic pests. In fact, a lot of things have been cleaned up before and can be used, but after all, it is a place for cooking, so the kitchen has become the cleanest place in the house. Lily took off her mask and looked at the cleaned up kitchen without any disturbance in her heart ——No matter how nice this place is, it’s not my own home.

On the other hand, the others looked very excited. During lunch, everyone was discussing the pests that they cleared up in the morning. The Weasley twins had a few of them quietly packed in their pockets. This made Lily very uncomfortable, and she sat a little away from her during the meal. They were a little farther away, but fortunately they found nothing.

Still not eating much, Lily knew that she should eat more, but she just had no appetite, and even the small cake that Mo Qi specially prepared for her could not arouse Lily's interest.

Molly left time for everyone to do homework this afternoon. Not everyone can do homework actively and seriously like Hermione.Lily had already completed most of her homework when she was in school, so there were not many courses. Lily didn't really want to do homework in the afternoon, but she hoped that she could learn more about this building, after all, she would be staying for a while.Meow Meow was let out by Lily to play in the morning, and specially let the basilisk follow it. After all, the basilisk is older and more experienced, and if there is any accident, it can be resolved in time.

Walking in the decaying corridor, there are thick tapestries and curtains hanging on many of the walls on both sides. From the shapes behind those tapestries and curtains, Lily vaguely guessed that there should be some portraits at the back, the whole house including the kitchen in the basement There are six floors together with the restaurant. The first floor is mainly a long corridor, but there are no rooms. The living room is on the second floor, and the rooms of Lily, Ginny, and Hermione are also on the second floor. There is also a large bathroom on the same floor. Lily washes up in the morning It was done in that room, Ron lived on the third floor, the Weasleys and twins lived on the fourth floor, and Sirius Black and the house-elf Kreacher lived on the fifth floor.

As for some small storage rooms, Lily didn't know about them in detail. She carefully opened a corner of a thick curtain curiously, and there was a serious-looking old lady sleeping in the photo frame. It was a very old picture. And a painting that lacks maintenance, perhaps it is precisely because of the lack of maintenance that it makes this painting look old.

Then the corner of the curtain that Lily raised was pressed back by a big pale hand, the owner of the hands was looking at the curtain and Lily with disgust, and then whispered to Lily: "If I were you, I wouldn't put the person in the portrait Wake up, don't be too curious, ma'am."

Sirius's impression of Lily is still the same as when he was in the Shrieking Room, so when he saw Snape pulling Lily into the restaurant, his expression would be very weird. I have seen the horror of this little girl before, but she has always been The arrogance and unruliness engraved in his blood made Sirius not treat this little girl special, at most he no longer treats him like a child.

Lily nodded, since this is not her territory, she should be more cautious. Seeing Lily nodding obediently, Sirius raised his eyebrows in surprise. Is this the madman who declared that he would kill everyone like a psycho?

Sirius stared at Lily until her back disappeared around the corner of the stairs, where the displayed head of the house elf was watching him, Sirius looked away in disgust, and stopped looking at the shriveled head that had become a zombie, and then if He rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Although he has been dismissed by the Ministry of Magic, it is still a bit troublesome to revoke the arrest on the Muggle side. Dumbledore expressed the hope that he could reduce the number of times he went out, but let this Strange people came into the headquarters, what was Dumbledore's plan?He even deliberately explained that if she has any abnormalities, don't be too surprised, just tell him. What is worth noting about this person?

After a period of running-in, Lily has gradually adapted to life in the Order of the Phoenix. What makes her happy is that Snape often comes here, so when she finishes her homework, she still spends most of her time waiting for Snape and watching demons. In the medicine book, until the end of July, Harry Potter's arrival.

This day, Lily was sitting at the foot of the stairs as usual, waiting for Snape to chat after the meeting. Molly expressed her inability to change Lily's behavior, so she let her do it.

Lily's appetite is still not good, the little meat she raised before has lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Lily has been feeling sleepy recently, like a TV remote control that is about to run out of power, this is not a good sign .

One more thing Lily didn't say to anyone, about the induction on the night of the third game, she knew that someone was calling her name, it was a little magic that Lily had wrapped around Snape before he left Snape's house , as long as Snape thinks of himself and expects himself to appear, the magic will be triggered when he says his name, and the magic will remind Lily of the vague location of that person, so that he can find him by himself.And Snape was the only person he had given a name to, so Lily thought about how this magic was established, and Lily's sense of fuzzy consciousness was not clear, let alone the matter of sensing the direction.

While the restaurant was still discussing, the rusty door was opened, and then Harry and several members of the Order of the Phoenix walked in. Yesterday, everyone was talking about Harry being discovered by the Ministry of Magic after using magic , under Dumbledore's efforts, a hearing will be held at the Ministry of Magic in a few days. Both Hermione and Ron are looking into whether Harry will be expelled for casting magic.

Lily still remembered that the domineering white-headed eagle pecked the hands of Hermione and Ron in disgrace, and it was Lily who contributed the potion she made before to Hermione, so that there would be no terrible scars left. scars.

Then the door of the dining room was opened, and Mad-Eye Moody walked in, the voice inside was much clearer, Lily could see from the side of the door that Snape, who was sitting on the left side of the door in the room, looked at the paper in his hand with a cold face. Parchment, the meeting here didn't seem to bring him any pleasant feelings.

"Oh! Harry." After everyone went in, Mrs. Weasley came out and closed the door.

"Mrs. Weasley." Harry's voice was full of joy, and then Mrs. Weasley gave him a big hug and said, "Thank God you're all right."

"I'm a little thinner, but I'm afraid I won't be able to eat dinner until after the meeting," Harry opened his mouth to interrupt Mrs. Weasley's voice, but Molly didn't give him the chance, "No, I don't have time to explain now. Go upstairs, the first door on the left on the third floor, Ron is on it!"

Then Harry saw Lily sitting by the steps on the first floor. Lily sat still and smiled at Harry. She felt that she had no extra energy to do other things, even talking. She felt very tired. I'm going to be exhausted all the time.

Harry was shocked to see a Slytherin in the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, he didn't know why Lily was here, he thought it was... at least... probably not a Slytherin.

"Lily? Are you here too?" Harry was a little embarrassed when he spoke.

"Hi, Harry." Lily said nothing.replied lazily.

Harry didn't notice that Lily looked very thin and listless when Lily was talking.

"Hermione is upstairs, so I won't show you the way."

Lily was already very familiar with this place, although she still didn't get along very well with the people here, Harry nodded after hearing this and started to walk upstairs.

After staying downstairs for a while, Lily saw an ear with a thin wire hanging from upstairs to the crack of the kitchen door. It was the bug of the Weasley twins. Lily was actually concerned about what they discussed in the dining room No interest.

Crookshanks walked downstairs from Lily's side. The huge tail brushed Lily's hand and itched. Meow and Hermione's cat got along fairly well, but the two cats obviously had their own territories and were not mutually exclusive. Infringement, Lily continued to stare at the scratches and bad places on the door with little strength, until she heard the muffled voice upstairs and realized that Crookshanks was eating the drooping ear, but it was too late to stop it now up.

All of a sudden, Lily felt that her cat had a good personality, at least she wouldn't eat strange things. She didn't know how Hermione raised Crookshanks like this, or maybe her cat was too obedient?

After a long time, the meeting in the house was over. Lily stood up slowly, and looked towards the door after her dizzy head was relieved. She waited for her father to come out. Not many people came out this time, and many people stayed to eat. It's dinner.

Snape looked at the familiar Lily who was standing aside waiting for him, and felt that she was getting thinner than the previous two days, so he patted her head with some distress.

"Didn't you eat on time?" The gentle voice made Harry, who had just come down from upstairs, almost drop his jaw in shock. He thought that maybe there is no one who is not gentle in the world, but the gentleness of that person is not for you. .

"Yes! Mrs. Molly's dishes are delicious, and I eat a lot." Lily replied obediently in a low voice.

"School starts in one month. How is the homework done?" Snape withdrew his hand and straightened his clothes. He saw Harry and the others coming down the stairs.

"It's done, don't worry."

Snape nodded slightly and then left. Lily watched Snape's back disappear behind the door before going to the restaurant.

After entering the restaurant, Lily sat in her usual place, next to Hermione, next to Hermione were the twins, then Professor Lupine, Arthur Weasley, opposite Tonks and Ginny, a man from the Ministry of Magic Then there was Harry and Sirius at the head seat.

The parchment and the empty wine bottle on the table hadn't been cleared away yet, and there were a few other people beside the table. The reason why they were called others was because Lily was too lazy to identify them one by one.

When Harry was chatting with others, Lily heard Mrs. Molly's voice asking for help. Lily stood up after thinking for a while and said that she could help Molly make dinner.

So Lily followed Molly into the kitchen. The kitchen and the dining room are actually connected. Although she is not very used to the layout of the kitchen, Lily saw the raw materials.

Mrs. Molly saw that Lily took out her wand, lightly tapped some ingredients such as flour, eggs, and milk, and then these ingredients entered into basins and bowls in an orderly manner. The heating magic and the acceleration of magic were perfect, and she saw one by one. The thick bread or pizza flies slowly and orderly to the plate on the table. The pizza is filled with golden corn kernels and tempting ham. A very common thing, Lily, this is the first time they saw Lily cook, and it was also the first time they saw Lily use magic. The delicious smell of bread immediately filled the whole restaurant and kitchen. After Lily finished the staple food, she started to cook vegetables Soup, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, peppers and other vegetables put themselves in the water, those that need to be peeled are peeled, those that need to be cleaned are cut into pieces and diced, and they fall into the cooking pot, and those that need to be fried enter the frying pan. The pot turns the vegetables inside by itself on the fire.

Everyone was quiet, Harry watched Lily use her wand in disbelief, it was unfair, Lily was younger than him, why did she dare to use magic, and now he didn't see any warning letter from the Ministry of Magic.

Lily is using magic now to test whether these people know about her. If she knows, there must be some clues on her expression.

It's a pity that she didn't find what she wanted to find. Everyone looked at her in surprise, and the expressions of Harry and the others were more like shock.

"That's not right, Lily is younger than me." It was Harry who broke the tranquility first. He was very angry. He was a year older than Lily. Why did he need to be summoned for a so-called hearing? A flame rose in his heart. He was so burned that he wanted to tear it all apart.

Seeing Harry's bloodshot eyes, Sirius pushed him back into the seat, "Harry, you are different from everyone else, don't you remember, now is the time when you are sensitive, and there are some things that you should know."

After finishing speaking, he did not wait for other people to express their opinions, and put a document in Harry's hand, which included some news and documents criticizing Dumbledore and Harry Potter as liars, and canceling Dumbledore. The Order of Merlin ownership thing.

Harry's attention was briefly diverted. He quickly browsed through the information, ignoring the quarrels of the people next to him. Molly expressed dissatisfaction with Sirius telling Harry about the Order of the Phoenix, and the restaurant became noisy again for a while.

Until Harry slapped the information on the table, "This is wrong, I saw Voldemort with my own eyes and he came back, how can the people from the Ministry of Magic..."

"Of course they can, Harry, Fudge is terrified, he's worried that Dumbledore will affect his status, you know what happened before during Voldemort's reign, Fudge will not admit that the Dark Lord is back during his own term It's not just a scandal..." When Sirius was talking, besides looking at Harry, he also looked at Lily with a scrutinizing gaze. He became more and more suspicious of Lily. Who knows if Dumbledore is Really know what you're doing, a Slytherin, heh!As annoying as a slug, who knows if she might be a little spy, he wanted to tell Dumbledore what happened that day but couldn't do it at all, there is no other possibility except that this little snake has tampered with it.

"Okay! This has happened for so long, why did you hide it from me? If I hadn't used magic, would I still be waiting like an idiot in Privet Drive?" Harry kicked the stool irritably, making a bang. the sound of.

"It was I who saw Voldemort, it was me! It wasn't Hermione, it wasn't Ron!" Harry said they would all know why I didn't know why I didn't know, so I kept my mouth shut and didn't shout out, so he glared at Lily angrily , regardless of what the people around him said, and left the restaurant.

"I'll go and see him, you guys eat first!" Lupine stood up, winked with Sirius and followed Harry.

Sirius finally sat down after receiving Lupine's gaze, but he didn't eat. The others moved, but they didn't eat much, so there was a lot of Lily's food left, which was preserved by Molly with magic down.

Lily was a little disappointed that no one knew why she was able to escape the detection of the Ministry of Magic, but this result was expected. The disappointment was not very disappointing, but she felt a little tired, as if she had stayed up all day and night. She was very tired, so she also Without eating, he left and went back to his room after talking to Hermione.

Hermione was still a little fuzzy when Lily was talking to herself, and she couldn't think of anything that could escape the detection of the Ministry of Magic.

After Lily went back upstairs, she lay on the bed and looked at the roof. She felt that she might have suffered from anorexia and other strange diseases recently. At this time, Meow and Sasha came in from the window. Sasha was worried when she saw Lily's listless look. She said, "Lily, you've lost weight too fast recently, Sha."

"Oh! But I don't really want to eat."

"Is there anything you particularly want to eat? I'll go out and bring you some back, Sha." Sha Sha touched Lily's thin cheek with her pointed head and said distressedly.

"It's nothing, how are you and Miaomiao?"

"I found some strange things around here, and those Muggles have a lot of fun, Sand."

"That's good, you and Meow Meow won't be bored anymore." Lily turned over and got up, she hasn't written a reply to Draco, anyway, she can't sleep now, why not write the letter when Dad comes back next time Good for Draco.

Lily didn't have much content in the letter except to say something about her recent situation, as well as greetings to Draco and his family. The letter was still not long.Lily put together the letters she had communicated with Draco before. Draco would write a lot of content every time. Lily put them all in a small box and kept them in a small black bag.
