For Lily to be able to hug Ariana without any scruples and not be rejected or even violently greeted by Ariana, James is jealous and feels very depressed.

No matter how depressed he was, it was impossible for James to be angry with Lily.First of all, Lily is a very beautiful and lovely girl, her enthusiasm and kindness are contagious, making it hard to really hate her.Secondly, Lily is a good friend of Ariana, and James has to think about this alone.

So, with nowhere to go, James turned directly to the gloomy, nonchalant looking Slytherin boy.

"Snape, what are you doing here? This is our Gryffindor territory, you are not welcome!"

The little bastard said arrogantly, just like a master.

Hearing this, Arianna unceremoniously punched the little bastard on the head.

James yelled "Wow", covered the bag on his head and looked at the expressionless Ariana with teary eyes, aggrieved.

Why beat him again?

"James, Lily and Snape were personally invited by me, do you have any objections?"

James shook his head quickly. Although he had a lot of opinions, he didn't dare to have any opinions under Arianna's pressure.

"Mr. Potter, I remember that Potter's house is in Godric's Hollow, right? Excuse me, why are you here?" Lily let go of Ariana, stood in front of Pnep, raised her chin and asked, not concealing her disbelief at all. Snape's protective intentions and his antipathy towards James Potter.

Snape pursed his lips, looked at the little witch who was protecting him with a complicated expression, and lowered his eyelids for a while and said, "I assume Mr. Potter's head is not a decorative shell. You should know that this is Grindelwald Castle, not Poltergeist." special family."

Snape laughed at someone's self-righteousness very well, and James was so angry that he almost jumped over to fight. In the end, it was Ariana who grabbed his back collar and led the two little guests into Grindelwald Castle.

"You are tired from the car ride all day, come in and rest first!"

"Then, excuse me!"

Although Grindelwald Castle is built in the Muggle world, and there is nothing particularly outstanding among the castles with Scottish characteristics that can be seen everywhere, it is a castle with magical traces of real wizard life.This castle seems normal to ordinary people, but anyone who knows a little bit about magic will find traces of magic everywhere in certain details.

This was the first time for Lily and Snape to visit the family of aristocratic wizards in the wizarding world. Naturally, they were extremely curious. They walked along the way and secretly observed it. However, the castle that was too Muggle-like made them somewhat disappointed.

In the castle, Nicholas Grindelwald is currently working in the study. Mrs. Grindelwald has been waiting at the door after receiving the report from the house elf, welcoming the two young guests in gently and cordially.

"Mrs. Grindelwald, I'm Lily Evans, sorry to bother you!" Lily stepped forward to greet her obediently.

"Hi, I'm Severus Snape, excuse me!"

Mrs. Grindelwald smiled and nodded. When she heard Snape's name, she looked a little surprised. She couldn't help but scrutinized the thin, dark-haired boy with a dull expression.Snape frowned slightly, sensitively finding that Mrs. Grindelwald looked at him strangely, and felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't interrupt to ask questions rashly.

"Mother?"

Arianna looked at the rare and absent-minded mother strangely.

Mrs. Grindelwald quickly recovered, smiled at her daughter, and invited the two young guests into the house.

"Dear children, welcome to my house, please don't be polite, I hope you have a good time here!"

Mrs. Grindelwald's friendly expression and demeanor undoubtedly made the two feel relaxed, dispelling some unnecessary tension when facing the noble lady.

Watching Mrs. Grindelwald welcome the two into the castle, James walked behind with a frown and displeasure, and his resentful eyes shot at Snape like a shadow, as if he wanted to take out a few knives on Snape.When entering the door, James finally couldn't bear it any longer. He quickly grabbed Arianna's arm and dragged her to his side, asking in a low voice:

"Arianna, why did you invite that greasy and gloomy Snape here as a guest? This is really an annoying thing!" James not only has opinions on this point, but also has a subconscious sense of crisis, which makes He is like a little beast dormant in the dark, ready to jump up and bite a boy at any time because of an unknown sense of crisis.

Ariana wanted to bang some little bastard on the head to see if she could make him sane.

"Snape is Lily's good friend, and he has helped me, of course I can invite him to my house as a guest! James, be more mature, don't make me think you are an impolite and arrogant brat!" Arianna said rudely said.

Evans' best friend?Meaning, Snape was just incidental?

When he understood the meaning of the first half of Ariana's words, the boy's brown eyes sparkled, and he was in a good mood immediately. He felt that the black-haired boy in front of him was very pleasing to the eye, and even the slightly greasy hair was not so annoying~~ ~(Hey, boy, did you automatically ignore the second half of the sentence?)

After entering the castle, Arianna apologized to Lily and Snape, and then went back to their rooms with James to change their clothes and come down later.

In the living room, Mrs. Grindelwald cordially entertained two young guests.

"Miss Evans, Mr. Snape, Ariana is taken care of by you at school, thank you!"

Lily blushed and waved her hands, "Mrs. Grindelwald, you are too polite, Ariana is the one who takes care of us~ Also, that, you can call me Lily." The lively red-haired girl said bluntly.

Mrs. Grindelwald poured a cup of fragrant barley tea for each of them, her eyes softly swept over their lovely faces, "Okay, Lily, you can also call me Aunt Anne. Well, Severus, I can Did you call me?" Mrs. Grindelwald looked at the silent black-haired boy.

Snape nodded.

Mrs. Grindelwald smiled, looking at the black-haired boy with a gentle and loving gaze, full of kindness and gentleness, which made Snape, who was used to most people's malicious and appraising gazes, quite unaccustomed, and raised his hand a little cautiously. Mai Cha took a sip to hide his tense face.

Due to the harsh family environment, Severus Snape's character is proud and sensitive, inferior and conceited, and his strong self-esteem allows him to easily feel all kinds of malicious or kind eyes around him.Of course, perhaps out of a kind of inferiority complex, he is more comfortable with people's malicious attitude than their kindness.And Mrs. Grindelwald's soft and gentle, kind and loving gaze made him quite unaccustomed to being treated like this by people.

As if aware of his discomfort, Mrs. Grindelwald did not pretend to be mysterious, and said bluntly: "Severus, is your mother, Irene, okay?"

The black pupils tightened slightly, and the expression on Snape's face became surprised, and he looked straight at Mrs. Grindelwald's beautiful face.Irene is Snape's mother's name. It seems that it has been a long time since I heard anyone call this name. Perhaps since the man yelled "monster" at them roughly, Snape has never heard anyone call his mother again. The name "Irene", but the unfamiliar and polite "Mrs. Snape".

"Do you... know my mother?" Snape asked nervously, looking longingly at the beautiful and elegant Mrs. Grindelwald opposite, with an unknown expectation in his heart.

Mrs. Grindelwald smiled softly and calmed the boy's nervousness with her eyes, "Yes, we were still very good friends when we were studying. I like potions, and Irene is the most talented magician in the Prince family. Medicine genius, I often ask her questions when I encounter something I don’t understand. At that time, Irene was a very silent girl, but she was very smart, and she was also the captain of Hogwarts’ Gobstone team..."

Hearing this, Lily showed her original expression.Lily remembered that after the summer vacation started, she had to correspond with Ariana almost every few days, telling some little troubles of summer vacation life and little secrets among girls. Later, when Ariana invited her and Snape to Grindelwald as guests , happened to be heard by Mrs. Irene, Snape's mother.After Irene inquired about her good friend's name in detail, she showed a sad look on her face, and then encouraged the reluctant boy to go out and spend a pleasant summer vacation in the Scottish Highlands.

If it wasn't for the strong request of his beloved mother, Snape would not have been willing to come to Grindelwald Castle as a guest.However, now that I can hear this, I begin to feel that it is worth it.

Snape quietly listened to Mrs. Grindelwald talking about his mother's generation in a nostalgic tone. It was a past he couldn't understand, without any Muggle participation, and a life in the magic world.Although it was just a brief recollection, Snape listened carefully, and slowly transformed Mrs. Grindelwald's words into concrete pictures in his mind, almost lost his mind, until Lily put her hand on his shoulder, Let him realize that they are in Grindelwald Castle at this moment.

"Sev, what's wrong?"

Snape turned his head and saw the undisguised concern and worry in the red-haired little witch's eyes, his heart warmed, and he bent his lips towards her to indicate that it was okay.

"I haven't been in touch with Irene for several years. Is she okay now?"

Snape hesitated for a moment, then simply replied, "...my mother is fine."

Lily gave him a strange look, her brows slightly frowned, she didn't understand why the boy would withdraw the lie, obviously even she knew that Aunt Irene was not doing well... However, seeing the black-haired boy pursing his lips and not Reluctant to say more, Lily swallowed the rebuttal inexplicably.

Mrs. Grindelwald naturally noticed it too, but she just smiled and didn't ask further, and then said: "I remember when you were born, Irene wrote to me and told me your name, and attached a note of your name to the envelope. Of course, I will keep the photo of baby Severus, and put it in the photo album in the study, and I will show it to you next time I have time."

Lily immediately agreed with a curious expression, and Snape's lips were straightened, looking a little embarrassed.However, Mrs. Grindelwald's next sentence almost made the two little wizards spit.

"Severus, I remember you were born on January 1th, right? When you were born, I was pregnant with Ariana, and I was due to give birth in half a month. Irene also said that if I gave birth to a daughter , let her son marry my little Anna in the future." Mrs. Grindelwald said with a smile.

Snape looked at her stiffly, Lily looked a little dazed, obviously unable to react.

With a sound of "Boom--", a black-haired boy who happened to come out of the stairs on the second floor stumbled and fell directly down the stairs, rolling all the way to the first floor, looking very miserable.
