HP's Impassable Time

Chapter 44 After the Hearing

When Lily received Draco's letter from Snape, she also received a bunch of candy and snacks from Draco. Although she didn't know why Draco gave her snacks, Draco only mentioned in the letter I brought some snacks for myself, and I didn’t say why, but when I saw the familiar Honeyduke brand chocolate, Lily felt that she had some appetite. After giving some candies and snacks to the people in the Order of the Phoenix, there were not many left. up.

Until the sweet aroma of chocolate spread in her mouth, Lily suddenly thought of the scene where Draco and herself were walking by the black lake, and it was also the peaceful sweet feeling at that time.

It had been three or four days since Harry returned to his room angrily. Although they were angry and surprised that Lily could use the wand during the holiday without receiving a summons from the Ministry of Magic, they didn't know how Sirius and Lupine and Harry were. What did they say, after all, they didn't show too strange expressions in front of Lily after all.

So Harry and the others were very happy when they received Lily's chocolates, but their expressions were more subtle when they learned that the snacks were given to Lily by Draco. This kind of subtlety prevented them from eating them directly. , but pressed the bottom of the box.Lily ate up that little snack on the third day, and on the fourth day, Snape brought a lot of snacks, but this time he didn't bring Draco's letter.

"This is from Draco's owl, I guess it's for you." Snape handed the snacks to Lily before the meeting, and Lily hasn't lost any serious weight these days, compared to the previous two days Basically no more significant weight loss.

Although Snape hated Draco's suspicion of flirting with his precious daughter, he acquiesced in his behavior when he saw that his daughter was no longer losing weight.

Recently, Lily and all the younger children have been cleaning the house under the leadership of Mrs. Molly, and sometimes the resident members of the Order of the Phoenix will also join the cleaning army.There are many foxes and moths in every corner, and some dead fluffy nests can be seen. Fluffy is that kind of soft animal that has been dried into mummies now.

Those rag-like curtains should also be replaced, but the funds of the Order of the Phoenix seem to be relatively tight, so everyone just cleaned the curtains carefully. In the process of cleaning, Lily's magic can't actually play a big role. The big holes were patched by Molly with magic. Even after cleaning, the dust on them cannot be cleaned at one time. It needs to be used repeatedly. As a minor who can use magic, Lily is not treated differently. Molly Forbidding Lily to use magic in normal times is like forbidding her twins who can use magic.

"He's not a member of the Order of the Phoenix!" Molly's voice came from the dining room. "He's only fifteen, and—"

"And he's solved as many problems as most members of the Society," Sirius interrupted him, "even more than some."

"Nobody denies what he's done!" Molly's voice rose a lot, and Lily saw her fists shaking on the arm of the chair as she followed Snape in. "But he's still just—"

"He's not a child!" Sirius said impatiently.

"He's not an adult either!" A blush crept up Molly's cheeks, like a suffocated blush, "He's not James, Sirius!"

"I know who he is, thank you for reminding me, Molly!" Sirius said coldly, as if he had exhausted all his patience.

"But I'm not sure you know that!" continued Molly. "Sometimes the way you talk to Harry, it's like, you think your best friend is back!"

"What's wrong with that?" Harry asked.

"Harry is not James after all, he is just a child, and adults need to be responsible for him."

"Are you saying that I am not a qualified godfather?" Everyone was watching the two quarreling.

"You were in Azkaban when Harry needed it most..." Molly said something hurtful, Sirius' face flushed, and Lily held Snape's hand and watched the farce with cold eyes.These days Molly and Sirius have always been a little tit-for-tat, but today maybe someone has had enough of the days of open and secret fighting, and plans to make some substantial progress.

"Molly, you're not the only one here who cares about Harry," said Lupine. "Sirius, sit down."

Molly stood there with her lower lip trembling, and Sirius sat down with a pale face. What Molly said just now hurt him completely. He had indeed spent more than ten years in Azkaban, and no one in the room spoke for a while. .

"Okay, if there is no problem, I will talk about today's information, if you don't continue." Snape's low voice sounded in the room, and finally it was Professor Lupine and Weasley The sir smoothed things over and the kids went back upstairs for a new discussion.

The cleanup was still going on the next day after the quarrel, and Lily saw Sirius throwing many items with traces of black magic or some symbolic badges into the trash bag, which made her very puzzled, but hearing him and Ha When Leigh introduced that this was his house, Lily decided it was better to keep her mouth shut, just like Sirius said when he stopped himself from looking at the portrait for the first time - don't be too curious.

Maybe because of being familiar with this place and being busy cleaning the room most of the time, this makes Lili's daily time very fulfilling, which makes Lily feel very tired and can't sleep well at night.

Until the day of Harry's hearing, which was NO.12, Lily still got up early, and now she often took on the job of cooking with Mrs. Molly. At that time, Mrs. Molly let loose and Lily could use magic. , but it doesn't mean that she can reduce the cleaning work, but Lily likes to cook, although the kitchen here is not what Lily likes.

When Lily came into the kitchen in the morning, Lupine, Sirius, Tonks and Mrs. Molly were already sitting at the dining table talking. Molly didn't think of breakfast until she saw Lily came down, so she stood up and took Lily to the kitchen. Over there, when the breakfast was about halfway done, the kitchen door was closed again. Harry stood at the door in a daze, looking at the busy people and wondering what he was thinking.

Lily nodded at Harry when he looked at her, and then Harry walked into the kitchen, everyone was telling him what the Ministry of Magic should pay attention to today.

Molly also put down her wand and went up to Harry to help him smooth out the wrinkles in his clothes, and although Lily didn't see any wrinkles in Harry, Molly took great pleasure in doing it.

Harry basically didn't move much for breakfast, and went out with Mr. Weasley. At this time, Hermione and Ron came down. In the morning, everyone was not ordered by Mrs. Molly to clean things up. Everyone was anxiously waiting for Harry's side news.

Hermione repeated over and over again that Harry will be fine, those people can't accuse him, I checked the information and so on, Lily's ears are almost hearing calluses, Meow is resting upstairs, and Rusha is Lily's arms are coiled, because it's summer, and the sleeves of Lily's clothes are relatively short, sometimes a part of Shasha's body is accidentally exposed, but fortunately, no one noticed Lily's special arm decoration.

Harry and Mr. Weasley returned while everyone was eating lunch.

"I knew it!" Ron yelled, pointing his hand at the air, "You always come home with a lot of money!"

"They've got to clear you," said Hermione, who looked nearly fainted with nervousness when Harry entered the kitchen, and was now covering her eyes with a trembling hand. "There's nothing against you, not at all."

Lily saw that the people around were cheering for Harry, as if Harry had won a battle. This kind of joyful atmosphere could easily affect the people around, so Lily had a rare smile on her face.

Two days before the start of school, Snape brought Lily's book list when he came again, and there were not many books this year.

"I'll take you shopping in Diagon Alley in a while." Snape had a rare smile on his face, "School starts in three days."

Lily felt that this vacation was extremely long at this time, but it was finally coming to an end, which was good, "Draco didn't bother that crested eagle to bring snacks this time?" Lily smiled like a fox at Snape.

"Maybe his crested eagle should be learning how to be polite." Snape said without changing his expression.A few days ago, that crested hawk quietly followed Snape to know Lily's address, but Snape gave him a hard lesson. It is estimated that he is still recovering from his injuries. Lily guessed that it should be Della. In the previous letters Draco had been wondering why Lily wasn't staying at Snape's house anymore, and he felt 'sorry' for always 'troubling' the professor to pass it on.

"Dad, it's just a falcon, so you can't be so cruel to it." Lily felt a burst of emotion and amused when she imagined the bald crested eagle that Snape said barely flew back.

"Okay, we'll set off later, you get ready." Snape was waiting in the corridor on the first floor, Lily quickly went upstairs and took the black bag away, without taking anything else, told Meow Meow not to wander around and she had to go out After a trip to the door, they went downstairs. Lily's series of behaviors attracted inquiries from Ginny and Hermione. After hearing Lily's truthful answers, the two watched Lily and Snape leave with envy. Spend time in this musty house, battling mildew.

Finally breathing the fresh air outside, this released Lily's depressed mood.

Snape was also very happy to see Lily's smile. Recently, he has been a little exhausted from dealing with both the Order of the Phoenix and the Dark Lord. Maybe it's because he's really getting old, or maybe it's because the loose life of more than ten years has made him feel tired. His nerves were too loose, and Leng Ding was not used to tensing his nerves all at once.

This time, I took the path of the Leaky Cauldron. Lily followed Snape and entered the somewhat dark bar. Because it was early in the morning, there was no one in the bar. Lily hadn't entered Diagon Alley from here yet. , so I looked around curiously.

There is nothing special about the decoration inside the bar. There are only seats for 30 people in the lobby below. There is a long table in the middle, and most of the places are empty.Lily noticed that someone came down from the upstairs, presumably the upstairs also belonged to the Leaky Cauldron, but as for what they were doing, it was not clear, at this time there were only two or three people drinking morning tea in the lobby, and a waiter was casually making Looking at the cleaning work, and even yawned a few times, Lily guessed that the people who drank morning tea should be people who lived in the bar, and no one would go to the bar to drink tea in the early morning.

Snape led Lily through the lobby on the first floor of the bar to the back door. There was a dead end, with several wine bottle boxes piled up next to them. Inside were empty wine bottles, some of which were still lying on the ground. Nepe kicked away the two bottles blocking the way with his feet, took out his wand and tapped the wall a few times, and the bricks on the wall moved in an orderly manner, revealing Diagon Alley, which Lily was very familiar with.

The last time she came to Diagon Alley was at the beginning of the last semester. Before that, she often came to Diagon Alley by herself to buy things and pick up and deliver orders. Lily completed most of the orders for this holiday when she was in school. Snape Lily didn't quite understand why Snape didn't let her come, even if the mysterious man came back, it shouldn't have much effect on a small shrimp like her.

This year's books are pitifully thin, but Snape chose a few books on potions for Lily, "I told you last semester that you would be allowed to take the wizard level test for potions in advance, and I will help you sign up. But other courses are not so easy to pass in advance.”

Snape said and paused here, "If you want to take Transfiguration and Charms, I'll help you pick some books and mention them to your professors."

Lily was actually not interested in taking the exam early, but seeing Snape as if she wanted to finish the exam early, she thought about it and nodded, agreeing to Snape's proposal.

The two didn't linger for long in Diagon Alley, and quickly bought what they needed. When passing by the broom shop, Snape suddenly stopped and asked, "Do you want to own a broom?"

This question came a bit suddenly, Lily is actually a bit insensitive to the broom, maybe it was the first flying lesson that left a deep shadow on her butt... In short, Lily remembers that she never showed any desire for the broom I don't know what Dad's nonsensical sentence refers to.

So Lily shook her head, "Not interested." Snape probably didn't expect Lily to answer so directly, raised his eyebrows, didn't speak again, and led Lily back.

The two of them went out very fast in the morning and returned to the Order of the Phoenix before noon. Lily always felt that Snape seemed to be deliberately finishing the matter in Diagon Alley quickly, and it didn't look like she had been outside for too long.

After saying goodbye to Snape, when Lily went upstairs, she heard Harry and Ron complaining that a cabinet upstairs was locked, and they didn't know when all the cleaning work would be finished. Hermione persuaded that there were still two It's like school starts today.

At this time, there was a loud and chaotic noise upstairs. During the Order of the Phoenix, Lily could often hear this sound. It was the Weasley twins studying their merchandise. During the holidays, the twins had already talked to Lily. They The current start-up capital of the store can rent a store and open a store.

Lily was very happy about this. After all, after opening the store, there will be more profits. Although she reduced her share to a quarter later, she is also a purchaser of potion materials in the store. Weasley buys materials The price is enough to make a small profit.
