[HP] Illusion

There was no one on the meandering path like last time, it was empty and quiet, and there was a little bit of moisture in the gaps between the cobblestones, which looked like diamonds shining under the sunlight.

You won't meet Lily and Penny again, will you?Looking from one end of the road to the other, Harry was slightly relieved that there was no movement around him.When he came this time, he did not wear the invisibility cloak. The time seemed to be earlier than last time. The golden sun was shining brightly, which was not quite the same as the warm feeling last time. Looking at the height of the sun above the water-washed blue sky and the The location, the time should be around two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

Harry walked quickly to a corner, but he didn't expect to meet the two Evans sisters walking towards him.

The young man who wanted to take out the invisibility cloak and leave: "..."

The path extending from this corner was not wide, and it could even be said to be narrow. Even Harry, who was thin and thin, stood in the middle, blocking the path at once.

The Evans sisters, who were holding arms with each other, stopped at this moment. The two sisters looked at the strange young man dressed very strangely. The blond-haired sister looked a little wary, and her hand holding her sister was tighter. The red-haired one The younger sister looked a little surprised, as if wondering why there was a stranger here.

The small town of Cokeworth was actually not that big. News about this place spread quickly, just like Petunia knew about the Snape family living in the slums. It was a place where even strangers rarely came in and out.Now that Harry had been "caught" right away, the two sisters certainly felt a little curious.

Petunia was somewhat vigilant, and she dragged Lily back a few steps without any trace.Lily thought for a while, turned her back and pulled Penny to the side of the path first, and made a cute "please" gesture, and her pretty face was instantly covered with a sunny smile: "Sir, please first .”

The actions of the two sisters made Harry a little bit at a loss, he blinked his eyes, the emerald-like green looked particularly conspicuous, which also caught the attention of the red-haired girl with a sweet smile.

In fact, she thought it looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

The young man in front of him didn't look very old. Although his clothes were weird and out of date, he looked sunny and handsome. His jet-black hair looked extremely disheveled, but this hairstyle unexpectedly suited him. Although his gentle and calm emerald green eyes were hidden Behind a pair of round glasses, but a closer look does not diminish the charm of those eyes.Cough, generally speaking, it is completely in line with the aesthetics of girls.

The young man looked a bit tired, but his demeanor was peaceful, introverted and sunny, without a hint of aggression, which made it easy for people to have a good impression of him.

"Hmm..." Harry moved his footsteps, stopped again, and uttered a single sound with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"Sir, you look very confused. Is there anything I can do to help you?" Lily seemed to have a good impression of the young man with emerald green almond eyes. Seeing that Harry seemed to be in trouble, she immediately reached out warmly and generously. Helping hand.

Petunia gently tugged at Lily, and whispered something in Lily's ear. Lily patted the back of her sister's hand, as if to reassure her that she was fine.

Harry looked very embarrassed, "I seem to be lost, where is this in Cokeworth?"

"This is Hibiscus Flower Road, where do you want to go?" Lily looked around, it was so quiet that it was hard to see anyone, and everyone was still off work at this time.

"I want to go to the nearest store, but I don't know which direction to go?" Harry's brain turned rapidly——

In fact, at the moment he met Lily, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.When he considered where to buy a house before, he thought about the wizarding world and the Muggle world. He wanted to go to the wizarding world first, but since he met Lily, maybe he could consider a house nearby. Lily is here, Snape It's also here, even if he wants to take care of the two of them secretly in the future, it will be more convenient.

It's just that he doesn't know the land price here, but the economic situation at this time is indeed not good. As long as there are houses to sell, it will not be so expensive.

Petunia quickly pointed in a direction and wanted to pull Lily away, but Lily didn't think so, but thought about it carefully, and then explained the way to go as concisely and clearly as possible, and then asked Harry: " Is that understandable?"

Harry repeated what Lily had said, "Yes?"

"That's right!" The smile on Lily's face became brighter and brighter, and she seemed a little excited that she could help others.

"Thank you, I think I can find it." Harry nodded gratefully, watching Lily bouncing off with her arm around Petunia.

I don't know if there is any real estate agency in this place.Harry turned around and followed the route Lily had provided earlier.

He didn't know much about where his mother lived when she was a child. Lily married James after graduating from Hogwarts and stayed in the wizarding world.Harry had basically no memory of the place name Cokeworth before. If he hadn't been to Spider's End, perhaps he would not have known anything about this place.He went to more of Godric's Hollow, where he had lived as a child and where his parents lay in their final resting place.

To be honest, he didn't know exactly where his mother lived when he was a child, but now it seemed that it was indeed not far from here.

Harry didn't expect that after he found a real estate agent in this small town, he would meet Lily again.

The real estate agent's name was John, a middle-aged man with a chubby body and a friendly appearance. It is said that most of the leasing and buying and selling transactions in the small town of Cokeworth were handled by him. When Harry found him, he did not It didn't take much twists and turns, as long as you ask others, basically everyone will say this name.

It happened that John was idle when Harry came to the door. After Harry roughly stated his requirements and asked about the land price, John couldn't wait to take him to see the house.After John wrote down Harry's requirements, he screened three matching houses for sale.

When the two walked not far from the first building, they met Lily, who was sweating profusely and her braids were loose.

Lily's naturally curly fiery red hair made her look even more beautiful. She obviously knew John. After seeing the person behind John, her small mouth also became an "o" shape.

"Hello, Uncle John." The Evans sisters were very polite and seemed to be very familiar with John.

"Hello, Lily, Petunia." John said with a smile, "Did you just come back from playing? Uncle John happens to have a job, and I want to show this Mr. Potter a house that is for sale next to your house." He said He took out two pieces of candy from his pocket and handed them to Lily and Petunia, "We're leaving first, you guys should hurry home too."

Lily looked at Harry with wide eyes, obviously looking very happy, "Do you still recognize me, Mr. Potter, my name is Lily, I just showed you the way not long ago."

Harry's only thought at this moment was that his mother was really warm.

Harry nodded, grinning and showing his white teeth, and replied, "It's also because of you that I can find my way to the store, thank you so much."

"Sir, are you going to buy a house here? It happens to be near my house." If it wasn't for being pulled tightly by Petunia, Lily would have almost rushed there. She didn't know why, but she felt that this Mr. Potter looked real. The very kind, let her have a close feeling.

Harry scratched his head and said shyly, "I have this idea, but I have to have a suitable house. I'm still considering it."

Lily immediately puffed up her chest, and introduced to Harry proudly: "The environment here is very good, it is the best place in Cokeworth, I believe you will like it, Mr. Potter! Of course, here The neighbors are also very friendly!" The neighbor, of course, was Lily herself.

John looked at the boastful Lily, dumbfounded, and asked jokingly, "Lily, are you planning to steal my job? Or are you planning to be my apprentice in the future? I dare say that you will make more money in the future than I do now." .”

Harry: "..."

It was only now that Lily realized that she seemed a little over-enthusiastic. Her blushing little face looked very cute, and her watery green almond eyes were even more beautiful.

It turned out that his mother was so cute when he was a child. Harry saw Lily's shy expression, and coughed lightly, "It seems that I will really like this place, because the neighbors here are really warm and friendly."

As soon as John heard that there was something interesting, he struck while the iron was hot and said, "Then let's look at the house now. If you don't like it, let's look at others. I have a lot of houses in my hand, and there must be something that will satisfy you." Pat Lily and give her a thumbs up.

Lily asked again: "Uncle John, is it No. 11?" Evans' house is No. 16. Since Uncle John said that their house is nearby, only No. 11 will be put on sale recently.

Just as John nodded, Lily suddenly looked at Harry and John with glowing eyes, "Then we happened to be on the way, let's go together!"

Saying that, Lily pulled Petunia up and down to lead the way ahead, while Harry and John walked slowly behind the little sisters. John looked very proud and said to Harry: "Lily is the joy of this area." If so, she is very enthusiastic about people, but today she seems to be especially enthusiastic."

"She's so cute, I think everyone will like her." Harry stared at the little girl with slightly curly red hair who was bouncing and bouncing like a waterfall, and there was a burst of indescribable emotion in his heart, if he can...

no!Harry immediately interrupted the thoughts in his brain. He had seen with his own eyes that little Snape was completely forgotten by Irene, and history went back to the original point again. If he changed Lily's fate, the result would not be that he could predicted.

He's not strong enough to control everything.

The house purchase went smoothly, except for the unexpected episode when Lily said she would stay and look at the house with Harry, and Petunia, who hadn't spoken much, dropped her hand and said "Go by yourself".

The house looked comfortable and warm, and the price was lower than expected. The most important thing was that there were two people he cared about most in this place.

Originally, he didn't intend to be discovered by Lily, but helplessly, he was defeated by his own mother.

Harry went directly to exchange the money that day, and completed all the necessary procedures. He asked John to handle other necessary transfer procedures, which was really convenient.

Harry was one of the most cheerful guests John had ever seen. The money was ready and all the forms were signed, because the seller had moved out. Under John's negotiation, Harry even stayed that night.

This house has two floors, with a roof on the top. The interior decoration is generous and simple. The keynote of the whole house is mainly comfortable, and the aesthetics is closer to his era. The previous homeowners have done every detail in the decoration. But it was so detailed that Harry fell in love with it after just one glance—as if the house was tailor-made for him, so much so that he didn't even look at the two houses behind it.

Of course John was happy. This house was the most expensive among the three houses. He didn't expect Harry to fall in love with it immediately.In such a downturn in the market, no one is happy to make money.

But the one who was the happiest was Lily. She even cheered happily when Harry decided to buy the house. Even she was taken aback, as if she didn't quite understand why she was so happy.

After confirming that he could live in, Harry bid farewell to John and Lily, and went to buy new bedding and necessities for life. He roughly cleaned the house again with magic, and the whole house immediately looked brand new.However, he is not used to the things these days, so he wondered if he should move some from another world.

There is a yard at the front and back of the house, and the yard at the back is connected to the garage, and the supporting facilities are very complete.The house itself is actually not particularly big, but it is a bit deserted to live alone, especially the master bedroom occupies almost half of the second floor, and his office is connected to three quarters of the bedroom. Outside the bedroom is an open multifunctional hall, which is connected to the balcony, and you can see the green landscape of the front yard when you walk out from the balcony.The previous owner also set up the bookcase in the small multi-functional living room. The back of the sofa leans against a whole wall of bookshelves, but at this moment it is empty because the previous owner has moved all the books away.

The first floor has a living room, kitchen, dining room, and a guest room that is not small in size.The house will not be exposed to the sun in the afternoon, but the lighting is also very good. When they come in the afternoon, they can feel the warmth of the whole house when they open the windows. There is also a cellar underground. It couldn't be more convenient for Harry of Potions.

...Oops, he seems to have expected too much from this house.
