HP let go of that little bat

After dinner, we all sat together and chatted.The most interesting topic is what Lily and the Sorting Hat said.

"It's nothing, the Sorting Hat just told me about the four giants a thousand years ago. I really want to know how it remembers these things, even if it's been so long, it shouldn't be able to remember clearly, but the Sorting Hat talks endlessly , as if everything just happened.”

"The students of Ravenclaw once organized a study, but it ended because they couldn't take the Sorting Hat apart. According to the Sorting Hat itself, it has the thinking of the Big Four." Mrs. Snape made a guest appearance as a popular science person. "Some people speculate that it may be extremely complicated inside, with many magic lines and magic circles. Most of the guesses cannot be confirmed, so the students of Ravenclaw College have not given up the opportunity to study so far."

"Then why did you go to Gryffindor? Didn't we speculate before that the conflict between Gryffindor and Slytherin would intensify?" Petunia asked.

"I asked the Sorting Hat, and it said Gryffindor and Slytherin are best friends!" Poor Severus felt like he was on pins and needles hearing Lily's words and thinking about the Halloween ball again.

"How can you be sure they're good friends? What did the Sorting Hat say?"

"It says they sleep together at night." Just as Lily finished speaking, the expressions of the three adults were filled with indescribable embarrassment.

"You decided to go to Gryffindor just because of this?" Petunia's eyes wandered between Lily and Severus, the expressions of the two were surprisingly similar, and they both pretended to be calm to hide their embarrassment.

"Yeah. The Sorting Hat has the minds of the four founders. It doesn't have to lie to me."

"We don't know if it lied to you or not." Mr. Evans took a sip of tea to suppress his shock. He had a premonition that Lily would marry Severus Snape in the future. "However, Mr. Dumbledore is not very friendly with that person. Could it be that they were fighting each other for some unknown reason?"

"Can't love each other and hate each other?" Mrs. Evans murmured.Everyone shuddered at her words, and the very thought itself was terrifying.

"Before it became the sorting hat, it belonged exclusively to Godric Gryffindor. I think its thinking mode is more inclined to Gryffindor." Mrs. Snape looked at the teacup in her hand. "May Merlin bless me and hope things don't get any worse."

"Oh, Merlin." Lily covered her eyes, "I suddenly feel like I might as well go to Hufflepuff."

After the Christmas holidays, the whole school atmosphere is a bit delicate.Grades [-] and [-] are facing OWL and NEWT exams, entertainment activities have dropped sharply, and the supply of library places has begun to exceed demand.

It's been a week since school started, and Severus hasn't seen Senior Malfoy yet.Even though he has always been obsessed with studying potions and spells, he can still feel that the academy is in turmoil caused by whether the center of power has shifted.

In the lounge, the exclusive seat for Lucius Malfoy was taken while he was away.In the past, there was absolutely no such situation. Even if Narcissa Black could barely rely on her family as a backer to support the scene, that kind of provocative behavior was enough to shake Lucius Malfoy's leadership position in Slytherin.

Through chatting in the lounge, Severus learned that Patriarch Malfoy hadn't been in any public places since September.There were rumors that he was seriously ill. During this period, that person never asked and summoned Patriarch Malfoy. Serious illness and falling out of favor, even if it was still in the rumor stage, was enough to make some families impatient.

Then, the news of Patriarch Malfoy's death was published in the "Daily Prophet".Word had spread during breakfast with owls dropping newspapers, and though the Slytherins were outwardly unmoved, those who knew them well could still see some clues.

"I don't know how Senior Malfoy will deal with what may happen after he comes back."

"Yeah, if he doesn't handle it well, not only himself, but also his family's status will also plummet."

"But there are in-laws in the Black family, so it won't be too bad, right?"

"It's hard to say. After all, Blake, who has just emerged as a rebel, is still a little bit hard to protect himself now."

Lily listened to the discussions of the Ravenclaws behind her, and did not turn her head to look at the situation at the Slytherin table.There was no need to appear worried, she was sure Severus would not get himself into trouble.It's a pity that her behavior like this was misinterpreted by the other two people.

Potter, who had been secretly observing Lily's reaction, was delighted in his heart, at least Lily didn't care about Severus as much as he thought.It seems that he worked hard enough, not without hope.

But Doris Weaver felt more anger.Seeing Lily's casual and indifferent look, she became more determined to drive Lily away from Severus' side.Knowing that Gryffindor and Slytherin were at odds, they insisted on showing their friendship in front of others.

She didn't believe that Lily didn't know that Severus was not sociable, but what did she do for Severus?It would only cause trouble for Severus, who ended up acting as a double agent to protect her.But Lily didn't need to know this, with her presence, she would never let Severus make the same mistakes again!

Sitting opposite Lily, Qiao Silin, who could see Doris' expression clearly, decided to pay more attention to this suspected time-traveling girl.Judging from her attitude towards Lily, she just asked her not to be blinded by herself and do something bad.

Early the next morning, Lucius Malfoy returned to Hogwarts.He stood at the door of the Great Hall, and the Slytherins automatically made room for him at the long table. "Evil Death Eaters," Lily heard Sirius whisper.It was obvious that something little unknown had happened in Slytherin last night.

If Lucius could do him even the most superficial benefit by joining the Death Eaters, then that man's influence in Slytherin should not be underestimated.At the same time, Lily also began to think about how often Severus had been in contact with Lucius Malfoy before continuing, and how likely he was to be misled by the other party.

Not so optimistic data.Lily clenched her knife and fork tightly. She decided to write a letter to Aunt Irene when she returned to her dorm after History of Magic get out of class.

"Luke, that lord..." After class, Narcissa Black couldn't wait to rush to her fiancé's bedroom.As soon as he entered the door, his eyes kept turning around Lucius Malfoy's left forearm.

"He accepts my allegiance, but to mark me, he will wait until after I graduate."

"Father..." Narcissa clenched her handkerchief tightly, her lips trembling slightly.As if harboring a faint wish, she asked softly.

"Father is gone." After Lucius finished speaking, he let out a sigh and leaned back on the sofa. He closed his eyes, "He is very disappointed in me."

"He loves you, Luke." Narcissa stepped forward and hugged Lucius, tears rolling down her cheeks.In the same way, she felt the wet and hot place in her arms where Lucius' face was pressed against.Narcissa knew how much Lucius wanted to be affirmed by Abraxas Malfoy. The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. He was so sad because there was no chance to work hard to get affirmation.

One more year and Lucius would be marked.They have no way out.If you want to get benefits from that lord, the price you pay must be much higher than what you get.It seems that in order for Luke to win Snape as soon as possible, the plan to make friends with that Gryffindor bastard cannot be postponed any longer.Narcissa opened her eyes, looked at the engagement ring engraved with the Malfoy family crest on her hand and made a decision.

The author has something to say: The answer is: a book called "How to Catch the Girl You Want" and a photo.

It was a swimsuit photo of Lily when she was ten years old, and Severus remembered them going to the beach together.

Penny wrote on the back of the photo: I wish you an early return to Lily~
