[HP] Mermaid in the Black Lake

In the hall, when their figures disappeared through the gate, four furtive figures came out from behind them.

It is the robbery group of four.

"I didn't expect that my pursuit would become the reason for Lily to hate me." There was anger in James' eyes, but also grievance and sadness.

"James, don't be sad, Lily just hasn't realized your feelings for her. If you treat other people like this, they will definitely faint with happiness." Sirius patted James on the shoulder comfortingly. He and James belonged to each other. The same type of people are all very popular among nobles, so this is the first time I have seen a girl like Lily who dismisses them.

"I wouldn't do this to other people! My love was given to Lily as early as the first time I saw her, and my whole life is hers! The men in the Potter family are like this, when they meet their destined partner Sometimes you will dedicate your soul to each other at the first sight, even if the two cannot be together, they will not fall in love with other people!"

"Oh my buddy! If the nobles know this news, there will definitely be a lot of people who want to send their daughters here for you to see! Hey... Speaking of which, should we let Lily know? Such an infatuated person is the best partner in the hearts of all girls!"

James' eyes lit up, and then he scratched his hair, which was always unruly, in distress, and said, "But, Lily doesn't believe it, what should I do?"

"Stupid!" Sirius felt helpless for this friend whose IQ dropped to minus [-] when he met Lily, "We can let others pass the news to Lily!"

"Others? Who?"

"This is..."

The four of them got together to discuss for a while, and it didn't end until the dinner was about to start. James, the party involved, had a silly smile on his face, and stared at Lily as soon as he entered the door, completely ignoring the gift that the other party gave him. supercilious.

So, the next day, Gryffindor spread the word that the Potter family is a rare loyal family in the wizarding world, and everyone in the family is extremely loyal to their loved ones.Then some words such as "The heir of the Potter family fell in love with Lily Evans, the little princess of Gryffindor", "James will definitely be very loyal to Lily", "Lily is so happy" were added to the content.

Throughout the day, Lily has received countless sights of various colors, the envy and jealousy of girls, the scrutiny of boys, and she can hear others looking at her and whispering everywhere when walking in the school, so she grew up in a honeypot Lily felt very wronged.

She doesn't like the annoying Potter, why do these people look at her like this?

Angrily scolding James Brown Candy Potter, Lily rushed to the gate of the castle with the book in her arms, and saw Severus who had been waiting there early.This friend of hers, though taciturn, was her best friend, other people might alienate her, only Severus would not...

Thinking of this, Lily's eyes turned red quickly, she rushed over and threw herself into Severus' arms, crying loudly.

Severus comforted helplessly, but a faint rosiness appeared on his sallow face.

After a while, Lily wiped away her tears, and smiled with her rabbit eyes open: "Thank you, Severus, you will be my forever friend!"

"En." Severus put a smile on the corner of his mouth, glanced at James who was distorted with jealousy on the steps not far away, left the castle with Lily, and walked through the woods to Severus' secret base.

Xiao Ran saw the two villains leaning together to read a book in the lake, he smiled lightly, and didn't bother him any more—maybe Severus didn't need his help, and he could get Lily too?

Xiao Ran, who dived back into the water again, didn't know that Severus looked at the lake with deep disappointment in his eyes from time to time...

Platinum Junior

The sunshine in the autumn afternoon is intoxicating. Standing in a place where the sun can shine can almost feel the skin being soothed. Many people prefer to find a place to bask in the sun for a walk after lunch, or where Get some sleep.

But obviously, this is not suitable for Slytherin, let alone hard-working students.

Severus sat under the bookshelf, concentrating on writing this week's homework, which seemed to be the elegance brought in his blood. Even though his handwriting was immature, it still had the curvature of gorgeous cursive.If you look at James' homework again, you will find that his handwriting is as bad as his son's, with an air of madness, and even Peter's handwriting is more neat and beautiful than his.

Gently flipping the pages of the book, Severus searched for the answers he wanted in various other books, and like a sponge, firmly sucked the knowledge into his mind, becoming his lifetime wealth.

Severus didn't leave with the book until he finished his homework. He planned to go back to the dormitory to put away his homework before going to the secret base to read.

Thinking of the secret base, Severus was very disappointed, because Xiao Ran hadn't come to him for several days. He sat by the lake every day until dinner was about to start before leaving, but he still couldn't wait for the familiar figure...

Severus guessed that Xiao Ran disappeared from the day Lily started reading books with him. Could it be that he didn't like others seeing him?So while Lily and her friends were having a tea party in the grass today, he wanted to go to the lake alone to try.

If Xiao Ran really didn't want Lily to see him... Severus bit his lip, a little at a loss.

Passing through a corridor leading to the cellar - where people rarely walk here, usually young wizards of Slytherin - Severus saw the injured platinum boy Lucius Malfoy in the corner, At this time, his hair was disheveled, his school uniform was torn, and there was blood on his face. There was obvious annoyance on his face, and he was completely lacking in the arrogance that Malfoy usually opened his screen at any time.

Severus wanted to retreat, but it was obviously too late, Lucius raised his head immediately after hearing the slight footsteps, his light gray eyes were full of coldness, and then slowly backed away when he saw the object, Said: "I'm so sorry for letting you see me in such a mess, Snape, if you can, please tell Fredrey (the prefect) for me, and ask him to help me tell Slughorn Is the professor on leave?"

"Of course, I'd love to. Shall I bring you another blanket? At least to keep you from being seen so..." Severus seemed to be thinking about what adjective to use, "Like being trolled." He committed suicide in shame after being devastated."

After finishing speaking, Severus walked over, looked at Lucius' situation, took out a small bottle from his arms and handed it over, saying, "If the noble Malfoy doesn't mind being poisoned to death, he can drink it. "

"No, Snape, you underestimate a Malfoy."

Lucius protested with an elegant aria, took the vial from Severus, opened it, sniffed it - the gesture drew a snort from Severus - and drank it.

The effect of the potion was very good. After 5 minutes, the wound on Lucius' body was only left with a pale pink scar. It would not take long for the scar to disappear.

"Oh, I have to say, Snape, your potion works well, but the taste is too strange." Not only was it strange, Lucius guessed that the water in the sewage ditch tasted better than it, which had nothing to do with its effect. The opposite taste, equally impressive ah.

Resisting the urge to rinse his mouth with clear spring water, Lucius took out a small mirror from his arms and began to look at Dali himself. After a cleansing, Lucius regained his gorgeous posture.

"Since the great Mr. Malfoy is fine, I can go first." After Severus finished speaking, he didn't want to get an answer at all, and walked directly to the other end of the corridor, and the wizard's school uniform formed behind him. A burst of waves, looks very imposing.

"Snape, wait for me!" Lucius shouted in astonishment.

Severus was dissatisfied, he wasted so much time, what if Xiao Ran was waiting for him by the lake?So he pretended not to hear, and quickened his pace to move forward.

"Why do I think he's awkward and cute?" Lucius murmured to himself in a low voice, and then he took a few quick steps, taller than the first-year kid by more than a head, allowing him to easily catch up with Severer Adams, and managed to hold him back.

"What else is there that makes you so disregarding etiquette, pulling people around like a rude Gryffindor lion?"

"Oh, come on, Snape," Lucius thought of his father, Abraxas Malfoy, whether he would make him copy the house rules 100 times because of his abnormal behavior today, "I allow you to call me by my Christian name, but of course I wish I could call you Severus."

"It seems that I can't refuse?" Severus raised a smirk and said, "So be it, see you next time, Mr. Malfoy."

Lucius smiled slightly as he watched Severus quickly disappear down the corridor.

Well, although he almost got into the infirmary because of five disrespectful and rude Gryffindors, at least he got a wonderful catch - Severus Snape, even if he was a half-breed, his potion The talent is still very shocking, even surpassing the rest of their family, as can be seen from the potion that quickly healed his injuries.

A man worth wooing.

Severus, who had gone back to the dormitory to put away his homework and left the cellar again, didn't know that he was on the Malfoy family's wooing list, and even if he knew, he would have sneered.Now what he was concerned about was whether Xiao Ran would appear by the lake, he even felt annoyed for a moment, blaming himself for forgetting to tell Xiao Ran and taking Lily there, he didn't want to lose Xiao Ran because of it.

His only friend since childhood.

Coming to the secret base with anxiety, Severus still didn't see Xiao Ran, the stone where the mermaid used to sit was still empty, in fact, this state had been maintained for several days.

Severus sat on the rock and opened the book, his eyes were fixed on the book, but his thoughts were rarely on it.

It wasn't until the sound of water sounded beside him that Severus raised his head in astonishment and looked at the mermaid sitting next to him: "Xiao Ran, you're finally here!" After finishing speaking, Severus swished his face It turned red, and added, "It's really disappointing. I thought that Mr. Xiao Ran hadn't shown up for so many days, because he had already been wiped clean by the mermaids in the lake."

Xiao Ran has been at the bottom of the lake for the past few days trying to absorb the energy from the wound. Anyway, Severus has been with Lily all the time, and he doesn't want to be some shining thing in the human world that selflessly emits his own light and heat.But today, when he usually surfaced to see Severus, he saw him sitting there alone. Could it be that Princess Lily was entangled by Potter again?

So he sat next to Severus and heard the surprise and awkward words of the little Slytherin, which, I have to say, was really cute.Xiao Ran joked in a good mood: "Why, you miss me?"

Severus seemed to know that his venom had no effect on Xiao Ran, and that the other party could even distort his meaning, so he tightly closed his mouth so as not to give the other party more opportunities to tease him.

However, he failed to see his red ears, but was just seen by the mermaid beside him.

However, the little snake can't be too teased, otherwise it will easily blow up, Xiao Ran cleverly changed the subject: "Why didn't you see the little girl who was with you today?"

"She and her friends are having a tea party," Severus said with a careful look at Xiao Ran's expression, "Mr. Xiao Ran, the famous deep-sea mermaid, won't mind if I bring her here?"

"of course not."

"Then why are you acting like a girl who was broken into the boudoir these days?" As soon as he finished speaking, Severus regretted it. He seemed to always be unable to control his venom, which was stronger than his brain. Faster action, often before he realizes what he is talking about, the venom offends the other party.

He didn't care about other people, but Xiao Ran was his friend.

"I'm just practicing, Severus. Mermaids also need to practice to gain greater strength. I think you definitely don't want your friends to be bullied by the original residents?"

"Of course." Severus replied dryly, Xiao Ran didn't show any sign of anger, which made him feel much better - compared to the past few days when he wasn't harassed by the robbery group of four and read books with Lily every day. be better...

"Is that girl the one you like?"

"Xiao Ran, I have to remind you, I'm only 11 years old!"

"I also have to say, Severus, you are a late bloomer."

"Xiao Ran!"

"Hahahaha... Severus, you are so cute!"

"..." Severus looked helplessly at the smiling mermaid in front of him, and couldn't help but put a smile on his mouth.

Flight Lesson ([-])

After class the next afternoon, Severus waited outside the castle, watching Lily bouncing down the stairs and standing in front of him, smiling slightly, "Lily, I want to introduce you to a friend."

"Severus' friend in the lake? You're finally going to introduce me, huh!" Lily wrinkled her nose cutely, as if dissatisfied that Severus had introduced her friend to herself so late.

Severus was stunned, he didn't tell Lily about Xiao Ran, how did the other party know?

"Are you curious? I won't tell you!" Lily made a grimace, threw all the books in her hand to Severus, and then dragged him to the secret base by the lake, chattering about how she met today. "Last night I dreamed about my dad, and he asked me if I ate the cream cake at home, haha, it must be Penny's, she likes cream cake the most... When I went to class this morning, I and Esmeralda met Peeves, he threw a water polo at us, and just happened to be Slytherin's bloody Baron passing by, scaring Peeves to shit. Severus, you are Slytherin, you know blood Where did the blood on Man Baron come from?"

"No, no one knows, Slytherins value privacy, no one would ask this question." Severus replied, pushing aside the bushes in front of him, behind which was a path leading to the lake secret base.

Seeing that the destination was approaching, Lily jumped and ran ahead to reach the lake first, but there was no one here: "Severus, your friend hasn't come yet, I really want to see it soon, yes Mermaid, squid, or Grindylow? But it shouldn't be Grindylow, Severus, if your character is with Grindylow, I feel creepy and weird!"

"We'll do it for a while and he'll come." Severus really couldn't understand how Lily would associate Xiao Ran with Grindylow. Apart from being lucky enough to be a potion material, that kind of trumpet-shaped underwater devil, Everything else is pretty much useless.

"Him?" Lily blinked and said disappointedly, "I thought it was her, otherwise you would miss Severus so much..."

"I can't forget, Lily, and we're only 11."

"But Esmeralda is engaged, and her fiancé is a fifth-year Ravenclaw." Lily retorted based on the fact that since she became friends with her roommate Esmeralda Franklin, her innocence has changed. Going further and further away.However, anyone who needs to spend an hour with their roommate and her fiancé every night will feel that 11 years old can really fall in love...

"..." Damn Franklin, damned stupid lion of Gryffindor, what exactly did they instill in Lily? !

Lily didn't realize that her roommate had been cursed by Severus from the inside out, so she sat under the tree and opened the book, and said to Severus: "Severus, put your Let me have a look at the potions homework, I'm still four inches short!"

"What? Gryffindor's smartest little witch, the famous Lily Evans, is also stumped?" Severus said so, or handed the parchment in the book to Lily.

"Stop talking about my grief, Severus. If that fellow Potter hadn't insisted on squeezing next to me, accidentally blew up the cauldron, and implicated me, how could I have been taught by Professor Slughorn?" A one-foot homework penalty?"

"Write the words bigger and the typesetting sparser. Just find some professional books to quote." The crisp young voice answered for Severus, and a very beautiful mermaid jumped up from the lake and sat on it. On the stones by the lake, the shiny silver fish tail almost dazzled Lily's eyes.

"Oh, that's so cool! It's really a deep-sea mermaid!" Lily immediately forgot about her homework, put down her book and approached Xiao Ran, and said, "During the opening ceremony, that bastard Potter said he saw a deep-sea mermaid. I still don’t believe it, but I didn’t expect that there really are deep-sea mermaids in the Black Lake... I even went to the library to check. Magical creatures such as deep-sea mermaids and veela are all humanoid, a symbol of the beauty of the magical world, and they are also children of Poseidon , the magic is very powerful. And the tail of the deep-sea mermaid is as hard as the skin of a dragon, and the leather armor made of the scales of the deep-sea mermaid is hard to find!!"

Although she was very interested in the deep-sea mermaid, Lily still didn't touch Xiao Ran's tail, so Xiao Ran didn't get angry with Lily's abruptness, but just smiled and said to Severus: "Dear Severus, how about you?" Won't you introduce me to your little girlfriend?"

Severus blushed, and gave Xiao Ran a hard look: "This is my good friend, Lily Evans." After speaking, he continued word by word, "This is Xiao Ran, A deep-sea mermaid who lives in the black lake and refuses to pay rent."

"Pfft! Haha! Severus, you are so cute! Hello Xiao Ran, you can call me Lily."

Xiao Ran also replied dumbfoundingly: "Hello, Lily, it's nice to meet you, but I often hear Severus talking about you."

"Really? What did you say to me?"

"Say you are a very enthusiastic and cheerful girl, and he likes you very much."

"I also like Severus very much. It was he who brought me into this magical magical world and let me see another brand new world. I like it here." Lily said, sending a message to Severus The big smile made Severus, who was quietly listening to their conversation, blush even more.

"The magical world is indeed magical, but the world is very big. There is not only one magical world. If you want to see a bigger world, you can join Severus in the future. I will take you to South America, Africa and Asia. There's another world there, too."

Lily only went in anticipation of the new world, and didn't comprehend the profound meaning of Xiao Ran, but the precocious Severus understood it, and glared at Xiao Ran from embarrassment, making Xiao Ran shrug his shoulders and change the subject if he wanted to go further. Bring it up again.

Happy time always passed quickly, two hours passed quickly, and it was almost time for Hogwarts dinner, Severus and Lily bid farewell to Xiao Ran and returned to the castle.

The next day was Thursday, and the flight lessons that most people were looking forward to finally came. Of course, this definitely did not include Severus.

His face had been gloomy since he woke up in the morning, as if he was about to thunder. Even Lucius, who was sitting in the chief seat, looked at him a few more times in surprise, not understanding why he was surrounded by clouds on such a beautiful day.

"Dear Severus, you will have two flying lessons today, aren't you happy?" Lucius stopped when he passed Severus with the sixth grade Slytherin leaving the hall, full of curiosity asked.

Severus slashed the plate fiercely with his knife, made a harsh sound, and said coldly: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Malfoy, I don't think this has anything to do with you."

Most of the people in Slytherin glared at Severus, Lucius was sacrosanct as chief, and Severus dared to be so rude as a half-blood.If it wasn't for this being in the Great Hall, they'd all be tempted to draw their wands to defend the Slytherin hierarchy.

At this moment, the behavior of Lucius, one of the parties involved, was embarrassing. He put his hands on his chest and said hurtfully, "Oh, Severus, for a friend who cares about you, you can't So cruel!"

friend? !

The emotions in the eyes of the little snakes quickly turned into scrutiny. As the heir to the richest noble in the wizarding world, Lucius Malfoy's abilities are very good. Even the Dark Lord admired Lucius very much. In terms of grades, the Dark Lord must be very willing to have such an excellent subordinate.

What is the reason why such a person is so affectionate to the mixed blood who entered Slytherin?

Severus was sensitive to the changes the little snakes had made to him, and after thinking about it, he knew that Lucius was trying to win him over, and declared to others that he was under his cover.Although the starting point is not too simple, Severus is still a little softer in his heart, even if he is not a friend, he is much better than a stranger.

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Mr. Malfoy." Severus smirked.

"Don't forget that we are friends, Severus, if you have any troubles, just come to me, Sissy won't mind."

After Lucius finished speaking, he led a group of sixth graders out of the hall. Severus pursed his lips, and left the hall under the complicated gazes of other little snakes, and arrived at the place where the flight class was held ahead of time.

The professor was a dark-skinned young lady, who was already carrying the broom when Severus arrived, and saw Severus shout enthusiastically: "Hi! Little gentleman, you are a freshman in the first year of Slytherin." Right? Come and help me put down the broom..."

Severus secretly regretted it, but had to go over to help the professor arrange the broom neatly on the grass.Severus' face darkened even more when he saw the brooms for what they really were. These brooms were even tattered than the ones in his house. Could they really fly?

"Don't underestimate these brooms, they have served Hogwarts for hundreds of years, and every professor of flight class will maintain them regularly, so don't worry..." The professor knew that he was in trouble when he saw Severus What do you think, quickly explained.

"Yes, Professor."

"However, I still think that a new broom should be introduced. The previous broom is too dangerous for freshmen with poor magic control ability. It would be great if I could replace it with a sweeping broom, at least every time I meet Gryffindor and When Slytherin is in class together, and when Hufflepuff is in class, don't let anyone get hurt anymore. God knows Madam Pomfrey in the infirmary will scold me bloody every time. It's really terrible... "

Severus endured the ravages of the noise on his ears until the first class began.

This is definitely a Gryffindor!Severus made up his mind.

Flight Lesson ([-])

When the bell for class rang, the little wizards of Gryffindor and Slytherin stood facing each other in two rows, and a flying broom was placed next to each of them.

When Severus thought that he would ride a broom and float in mid-air like a slut, he wished he could directly apply for exemption from flying lessons. He still didn't understand why, as a wizard, he must have something to do with a broom. Why do nets and apparitions need brooms, which are both unsafe and unsightly means of transportation, can they still be carried out on brooms during battle? !

Thinking this way, Severus consciously stood at the very edge of the Slytherin team at the very beginning, but the Gryffindor staff on the opposite side changed a bit. When he raised his head again, the Gryffindor standing opposite him Has become his deadly enemy - James Potter!

"Hey! Snotty, how about a fair game?" James challenged as the professor walked to the other side of the line.

Severus gave him a cold look, then continued to stare at the broom on the ground with an almost enemy-like gaze, and shouted, "UP!"

The antique broom moved lazily, rolled over and continued to lie on the ground without moving.

"Haha! Poor snot, I don't even want to talk to you, an evil bat! How can a beautiful and kind girl like Lily be with you? You don't deserve to be her friend!" James pulled his messy hair, He shook his head handsomely, attracting the eyes of some little lionesses in Gryffindor, "What kind of eyes are you? Don't you agree? Do you want to try it? When the professor lets us practice freely, let's fly first." The one who flies back to Ravenclaw Tower wins, if you win I will detour when I see you, how about that?"

"But, James," Peter said timidly, "the professor said at the beginning that we are not allowed to fly at will."

"Aren't you annoying, Peter! What's the spirit of Gryffindor? It's about daring to go forward, the professor will understand!" Sirius said impatiently. So", that's why I want to enter Gryffindor.Especially recently, he had a very tense fight with his family, and he was very irritable. Hearing Peter's words made his rebellious mood rise to the extreme.

With the support of his friends, James was even more complacent. He smiled contemptuously at Severus and said, "What? Is the snotlite scared? Do you want to hide in your cellar and cry for your mother? Haha... ..."

"Potter! If you dare to bully Severus again, I won't talk to you anymore!" Lily knew that things were going to get worse when she saw James standing opposite Severus, so she quickly took advantage of the professor's inattention to talk to a The girl switched places, and when she heard James insulting Severus, she exploded.

"Lily, this is a man's war."

"Snotling, dare you?"

Severus gave James a disgusted look, then looked at Lily who hoped that he would reject him, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, bibibi, how could I be afraid that you, a fool whose brain would be trampled by a troll?" lion?!"

"Severus!" Lily yelled hastily, but Sirius blocked it intentionally. The professor just came over and asked everyone to ride on the broomsticks. Seeing that the few people stopped acting rashly because of the professor, they couldn't help but With a sigh of relief, he also tried to ride on the broomstick.

Lily comes from the Muggle world and has never touched a broom before, and an antique broom is always easy for a little wizard who is not good enough to control it to do a 360-degree flip.Moreover, Lily's magic riots have always been more frequent than ordinary people, it seems that because she has more magic power than ordinary little wizards, so the broom is very disobedient in her hands.

Just when the professor asked everyone to try to get their feet off the ground, two shaky figures broke away from the team and quickly rose into the air.

"God, Mom, please help me." One of them was Frank Longbottom of Gryffindor, with a chubby body and rosy baby fat on his face. He looked so cute that Slytherin Girls want to ravage, lamenting why he is in Gryffindor, it would be nice if he was in Hufflepuff.

As for the other one, of course it was Lily, who was extremely daring. The two of them were taken into the air by Sapo's broom, and then began to perform various difficult movements in the air before the professor could react.Lily liked stimulation since she was a child, and she was able to cope with it for a while, but the timid Longbottom couldn't do it anymore. He was about to lose his grip on the broom, so the professor could only grit his teeth and ride on the broom to fish for Longbottom first.

"Lily!" "Damn it, why did the professor save Longbottom first? Don't you know that women come first? Lily, don't be afraid, I'll save you!"

Both Severus and James rode on the broom without saying a word. As the height got higher and higher, Severus felt like he was in a vacuum environment, and it became difficult to even breathe.His body was uncontrollably stiff, and his mind was blank, but he still subconsciously wanted to control the broom to go to Lily.

It seemed that only a moment had passed, and it seemed that countless years had passed, Severus' broom still stubbornly stayed in place, no matter what Severus commanded, it didn't move. Get up and try to throw Severus off the ground.

"Oh, my God!" Severus couldn't hold on any longer, the sweat in his palms made him unable to hold on to the broom, and when the broom turned over again, it fell straight down, even if the professor responded Quickly cast two Levitation Charms on him, but still couldn't save him before he hit the ground, and with a muffled and crunching bone dislocation, Severus made a hard, close contact with the ground .

Seeing that James had rescued Lily, the professor put Longbottom on the ground, hurried over to check, groped Severus a few times, and said, "Oh, poor child, the ribs and right leg are broken, I'll take you to the infirmary now, don't worry, Madam Pomfrey can heal you in a few minutes."

After speaking, he floated Severus up with the Levitation Charm, warned the other little wizards, and led him towards the infirmary.

Severus turned his head with difficulty, and when he saw Lily back on the ground unharmed, he immediately relaxed, but only he knew the loss in his heart - he was still too weak, he couldn't even protect himself well, and How could it be possible to protect Lily well?He needs power, more powerful power!

Severus secretly made up his mind, and his whole psychology underwent a qualitative change.

If he used to love learning knowledge, and regarded Hogwarts as his future home, he only needed to study easily.Then after that, he no longer expects the happiness bestowed by God, but needs himself to constantly become stronger to fight for it, because the result of his waiting is such cruelty, watching Lily fall into danger, but he is helpless.

This feeling was too bad, and made him deeply feel his own weakness and innocence, the fragility that he wanted to protect but couldn't.If he can really become strong, can face any wind and rain, no matter any difficulties can be like a man, only then can he truly become Lily's friend and protect her from the wind and rain.

On the other hand, after Lily was saved by James, she kept thanking him. The previous bad feelings seemed insignificant before the life-saving grace.Thinking about it now, James is just a naughty boy, and his willingness to help girls when they are in danger has already shown that he is a kind-hearted person.

"Thank you, Potter."

"Don't say that, Lily," James scratched the back of his head, giggling, "You can call me James."

Lily called out sweetly, James was shot by Cupid's arrow in an instant, his mind went blank, only the sentence "Lily called me by my Christian name" kept echoing, and a nympho smile appeared on his face. I don't know it.

Sirius covered his face in grief, expressing that he could no longer bear to see his friend as an idiot.Although James never lived a normal life after coming to Hogwarts and seeing a creature named Lily Evans, but... still feel very depressed!He'd even received mocking glances from the rest of Gryffindor, more annoying than the pointy chin of the evil Slytherin wizard!

Is Gryffindor really not suitable for him?

One side is family, the other side is friends, Sirius is caught in the inner struggle.

"Huh? Where's Severus? Why didn't I see him?" After accepting the friendly condolences from Gryffindor, Lily noticed that Severus was missing, so she asked strangely.

Esmeralda sneered, and said: "Lily, don't bother with that greasy guy, he's so good, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move on the broom, and even fell off and was sent to the infirmary Pfft... even Longbottom is better than him, at least Longbottom performed several stunts without falling off, right?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of echoing voices around, and all the lionesses who had a good relationship with Lily came to persuade her.

Lily listened in confusion
