Ravenclaw's Lily

be invited! "Sev said vaguely.

Oh, Lily understands, this is Professor Slughorn's establishment to accumulate contacts, he is indeed an old fox! "Of course, being invited shows that you are capable!"

On that day, Lily entered the scene and was startled. This is not an exchange meeting in her opinion, it is clearly a banquet held by the upper class.Look at the chic and elegantly dressed men and women, and look at her and Xifu's ordinary attire. It really seems to be Grandma Liu who has strayed into the Grand View Garden. Rao Lily doesn't care much about the difference in status. Yeah, it's kind of weird too.

Professor Slughorn welcomed everyone. However, people are different. Just like when facing Severus and Lily, he just expressed his politeness. However, facing those For the students of noble origin, he put on a smiling face to express his warm welcome.And the people around them, either show a superior attitude towards them, as if they are inferior people, of course, maybe they really think so, or completely ignore them, when they are air, this appearance is even more insulting.

After experiencing the initial panic, Lily calmed down. You know, the winner is the one who laughs last!After the fall of the Dark Lord, life for Slytherins was not easy at all.She is also not interested in chatting with those people whose eyes are higher than the top, even if she goes, she will get her own fault, she doesn't want to ask for guilt.

Severus was a little concerned, he didn't care about these before, but now that he has a goal and someone to protect, he doesn't want to continue doing nothing.This time, he originally invited Lili happily, but he didn't want them to be treated like this.

Feeling the stiffness of Severus' body beside her, Lily thought that maybe he was not used to such an environment. In Lily's opinion, Severus was more suitable to be a researcher, and he was not good at these kinds of communication at all.So, she gently took Sif's hand and pulled him to the side.

"Sev, what's the matter with you, are you not used to such an environment?" Lily asked.

Severus' body couldn't help trembling, Lily thought he had guessed his mind, and he was embarrassed, so he comforted him: "In this case, we might as well leave later, you are not interested in this place anyway!"

"You, don't you feel disappointed?" Sif asked hesitantly.

"Disappointed? Why disappointed?" Lily looked at a loss, did he think he would be angry because of his bad words?

Severus froze and said nothing.At this time, a few girls came over and purposely sat beside them talking loudly.

"Oh, so what if you are beautiful, you just found a useless man, you really have no vision!"

"Yes, yes, this person can't rely on his appearance to make a living, but he has to have ability to be valued by others, right?"

"Yeah, my boyfriend looks average, but he is an aristocrat. Look, the professor is chatting enthusiastically with him, unlike here, so deserted!"

"No way, some people like this, don't you think?"

"He stole the limelight at that dance, maybe this time he doesn't bother to play in such a small place!"

……

Hearing this, how could Lily and the others not understand that this was talking about them, but were they jealous?Just because of that prom?

Lily thought it was funny, if she hadn't died once, maybe she would pay attention to these things, but now, she thinks that there is nothing wrong with an ordinary life, she doesn't need to be rich, she can live comfortably and be happy!

However, there was something wrong with Sif next to him, with a livid face, staring at the women fiercely. If Lily hadn't held him back, she really doubted whether he would rush out to do something.This is very abnormal. It should be said that from the moment he entered the door, Sif was not very normal, and he was no longer as stable as usual.

The women walked away after saying they had their fill, and Severus also fell silent, looking at Lily with complicated eyes: "You don't mind what they say at all?"

"Why should I mind?" Lily smiled and tilted her head to look at him. "Do you think what they said is true? Do you think you have no ability? You don't believe that you will realize your dream?"

Severus was sulking for a while, of course he believed in himself, but it was still uncomfortable to be told that by others.In particular, he has always felt that he is not worthy of Lily, Lily is so beautiful, so gentle and kind, he really wants to make achievements to let others know that he is okay, he is worthy of her!

Lily held his hand tightly and said, "Believe me, they said this because they were jealous of us. If you take it to heart, you will lose!"

"Jealous of us?" Sev obviously didn't understand the situation, what's so enviable about him?

"Don't you think that eight out of ten sentences in their words refer to that ball? They are jealous of our original attention!"

"Have it?"

"Of course! We stole their limelight, of course they will feel uncomfortable! Anyway, what they said is not true, why do you think I should mind?"

"You still believe that I will succeed in the future? Even the professor today..."

"Of course, I've always believed in it!"

Lily looked at him fixedly. This boy was something she had known all along, and she had often paid attention to him afterwards. She watched him change from the inarticulate, inferior and proud person to the calm one now, although occasionally A boy who has low self-esteem, but will always stick to his dream.Hmph, if you dare to make fun of Sev, you may regret it in the future, this is the future master of potions!

Seeing Lily's bright eyes, Severus felt his heart beating so fast, this girl, he will never let go, she can only belong to him, and must belong to him!

In fact, Potter and Black also came, but they didn't make a fuss, and greeted them in a very gracious manner, and found a place to sit quietly, not far from Lily and the others.Potter also heard those words. He was very angry at first, but he saw that Lily didn't care at all. Did she really care about that Snape so much that she didn't care about these malicious words at all?

Blake also noticed, but he has been quietly observing the girl.After that scolding incident, he thought a lot. He had to admit that he had never cared about this girl before. He only knew that she was always helping Snape, but he didn't know that she could speak such sharp words. .However, what she said seemed to be true, and even Regulus had recently started avoiding him.Could it be that he was wrong from the very beginning, the belief he insisted on was wrong?No, no, he's right, he just doesn't want to be bound, he just wants to be free, an heir or something is not what he wants, he never cared about it, he's right!

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Lucius: (spoofing) Sif, from now on, I will hand over other people's beauty potions to you!

Severus: Who are you?You are not Lucius!

Lucius: (acting shyly) Don't be like this, people trust you to entrust you with such an important task, you know, the Malfoys are naturally temperamental and hard to give up on!What if the villain seizes the opportunity and ruins my beautiful face?

Sievers: ...

Lucius: (continues) They won't let you suffer!Can't you promise others like this?

Severus: ...

Lucius: (Continues) Dead ghost, do you agree or not?

Severus: (Goosebumps all over the floor) Get off!

46☆、Catalyst

Lily stood beside Severus quietly, watching him carefully set up the cauldron, and carefully selected the potion ingredients. When everything was ready, the two looked at each other, and cautiously began to follow the steps step by step.One must be cautious in brewing the potion. If there is a slight mistake in the process, it may not conform to the original deduced result, and Severus absolutely does not allow such a mistake.

The potion they were experimenting with was obtained from Malfoy, an ancient and broken recipe.Severus' level of potions had already surpassed his peers by far, and the potions study at school could no longer meet his needs, and he needed more and better opportunities to prove himself.This time the prescription made Lie Xin happy. According to his speculation, the value of the potion on this prescription lies in speeding up the action time of other potions to achieve a faster effect. Lily dubbed it a "catalyst".

After getting the prescription, Severus deliberated over and over again, and finally determined the most suitable brewing steps.But today, they finally collected all the materials and were familiar with the process, so they started experimenting.If it is successful, it means that this prescription can restore its integrity again, which is considered a happy event.

Both of them stared nervously. As the ingredients were added one by one, a clear and transparent liquid appeared in the crucible, accompanied by bursts of fragrance.The time after that is to stir occasionally, and then continue to cook.

Severus focused, staring into the cauldron without blinking.However, as the scent faded and the potion gradually took shape, he felt a strangeness in his body.

Various potions have different medicinal properties, some must be taken orally, while others will work even if you smell it.Just like the potion he is researching now, when the liquid in the crucible turns light yellow and the faint fragrance disappears, it means that the potion is ready. Although this potion will not emit any smell in the end, it will
