[HP] Magic didn't give up on you

Although Petunia just suggested to Eli that there is no need to be so restrained when getting along with friends, and "you can punch a friend in the face" when necessary, but regarding Snape's special dependence on Lily, Yi Still, Lay wasn't going to try to interfere.After all, it's a matter of the two of them at the end of the day, and theoretically he shouldn't even know about it, let alone actively participate in it, and dictate their relationship, that's so weird, it's not his style at all.

But he wasn't completely unchanged.On the day of Snape's parents' funeral, Eli and Lily went to worship with flowers.This funeral was really too shabby, there was no priest, let alone guests who came to express their condolences, and the Snapes seemed to have no friends at all. Snape stood there alone, silently staring at the grave of his parents. In the future, he will be left alone in this world, and the two people closest to him are now turned into a small obituary in the newspaper, and the soul sleeping quietly in the cemetery.

Eli wasn't sure Snape thought Muggles had souls, but he ended up not burying his parents separately, leaving a couple he'd never really understood together forever.In the time to come, there will be peace forever, and there will be no more disputes.

Lily was very moved by his approach, and she secretly said to Eli excitedly: "Sev is gradually trying to reconcile with his Muggle father, Eli, I think from the moment his father died, he To finally be able to see him with peace of mind. It's a tragedy for the family, but I don't think it's a bad thing for Sev."

is that so?Eli is noncommittal about Lily's conclusion.Snape didn't invite him to the funeral, but he didn't show any surprise when he appeared.The two looked at each other for a brief moment, Snape looked even more emaciated, but his gaze was still calm, his back straightened, and he tried his best to show his most decent appearance.

Eli suddenly understood that Snape didn't intend to show his weakness and hesitation—in front of people who were not Lily, he always had a particularly thick shell that he made himself. I found this out with a hint.

But he really didn't pay much attention to these things. After returning home from the small town of Cokeworth, Eli went on a trip with his parents like last year—this time he knew the reason, and his emotions were inevitably more complicated.Lestrange and Voldemort behind it weighed on his heart, and he still felt a heavy heart when he stood on foreign land.It's not a comfortable feeling, but it's empowering.

After he and his parents came back from America, Hogwarts was about to start school.In the third grade, they were allowed to spend the weekend in Hogsmeade village. As half-blood wizards who grew up in the Muggle settlement, even a mature and precocious person like Eli could not help but have expectations and longing for it.

In addition to Hogsmeade, which is missed by everyone in the third grade, the newly added elective courses are also worth mentioning.Professor Jackson, who teaches arithmetic and divination, has clear and accurate thinking, and explains this boring course in simple terms, which is very popular (students who study hard); while Eli's Muggle studies class may not be as accurate as arithmetic and divination. A detail, but as interesting as he imagined it to be.

The professor who teaches this course is very old. He is a purebred wizard who married a Muggle wife. His understanding of the Muggle world and objects is in a state of both understanding and incomplete understanding. Sometimes it can be described Accurate, sometimes with a serious wizarding nonsense about interpretations of Muggle culture, which made his classes much more interesting.

Although the knowledge learned in the class is not completely accurate, but under the leadership of the professor, there is one thing that the students who take this class do very well: that is, they are really studying Muggles, and Not trying to "define a Muggle" - the difference is subtle, but Eli got it right, he knew how rare it was, and had a lot of admiration for the professor of the subject.

Unfortunately, at Hogwarts, not many students choose this course; students from Muggle families feel that they don’t need to learn it, and students from mixed-race families also feel that they have a good understanding of Muggles; pure-blood students mostly Very disdainful of this class, thinking that studying Muggles is worthless, very few pure-blood wizards would choose to walk into this classroom - Slytherin has none.

But of course there are exceptions to everything, for example, the four troublemakers from the dormitory next door to him all showed up in the Muggle studies class.

Of course, in theory, as long as one of them chooses this course, the other three will probably choose together, friends, it always happens.But to Eli's expectation, he thought that James, who had a strong curiosity about everything, chose this course first, but unexpectedly, it was Sirius who made the decision to choose the course first; He was rebellious by nature, and wanted to go against the family that claimed to be noble and pure, but he actually became interested in Muggle items.

As Eli and Lily finished class and walked together to the next classroom, the four walked behind them, the conversation drifting clearly in their direction.

"You're kidding!" James raised his voice in surprise. "There is no better means of transportation in the world than a broomstick! Absolutely!"

"You haven't even ridden a motorcycle." Sirius retorted him, "Don't you think it looks cool?"

"I don't think so!" said James emphatically, raising his voice to convince his dazed friend, "You've never ridden a broom, Sirius! Is there anything better than flying through the air on a broom?" Cool? Leave the wind behind and no one can catch you! What is a motorcycle, it can't even fly!"

"Maybe we can make it fly." Sirius said with great interest, "For example, do some magic transformation? If the phone can be turned into a magic phone, then the motorcycle can definitely be transformed into a magic motorcycle. Then I can carry You fly, it looks like it can seat several people comfortably."

"Sounds good." James quickly changed his mind, and the adventurous factor in his blood began to stir, and he said enthusiastically, "Is this thing easy to ride? How do you say the word...drive?"

"It's not difficult, I guess." Sirius said lazily, whistling, "It's certainly not difficult for me anyway.

"Magic modification is actually dangerous, and most of them are illegal..." Lupine's voice sounded helplessly, with a slight smile, "If you really want to do this, then I can only suggest you Get an experienced hand, Sirius."

"But... will it be dangerous?" Peter whispered excitedly and uneasily, "You say it's not as easy to control as a broomstick..."

"Then I'll take my broom and go to the car together. If you fall off, I'll catch you." James waved his hand and responded gracefully. He began to plan new adventures enthusiastically, "What do we do?" Time to get a bike? Christmas holiday? The bike can stay at my house! Then you guys go over for Christmas. We can go to Eli, he sure knows what bike is better and how to modify it."

You are quite handy?Lily looked at Eli and made a face at him.

Eli shrugged amusedly, not wanting to interrupt their lively discussion.It's a pity that there are always people who are keen to spoil the atmosphere. When they turned a corner, they collided with a few Slytherins who had just finished their class. Lily was knocked back a bit, and Eli reached out in time Hold her up.

The Slytherins on the opposite side were also startled, but when they saw that the person they hit was Lily, the shock immediately turned to disgust.

"Is the eyesight of all idiots so bad? They don't look well when they walk, they insist on bumping into other people, and I get dirty." Mulciber said in a sly voice, pretending to be dusted. Dust off the non-existent ash.

Lily frowned equally in disgust, and fought back without showing weakness: "Then why don't you wash it now, Mulciber? Especially wash your mouth a few more times, it smells so bad, I suspect it's Never uttered a single word that didn't smell bad."

Mulciber froze for a moment, his face contorted.

"How dare you say that about me—" he said through gritted teeth, obviously this person has always been known for making malicious jokes with others, but he couldn't even stand such a sentence when it was his turn.Lily glared at him bravely, Eli frowned, and just then there was a burst of laughter behind them.

"Well said, Evans!" James smiled brightly, clapped exaggeratedly, raised one eyebrow, and nudged his friend next to him with his elbow, "What do you say, Sirius? What wonderful English! Human creativity is amazing."

"Yeah, I think so, too," said Sirius casually, casting a glance at Mulciber, and slightly twitching the corner of his lower lip.

His disdain and sarcasm were extremely vivid, and when he made such an expression, he showed noble arrogance and arrogance, which made Mulciber, who was always proud of his pure blood, look like an underdeveloped orangutan.

"Such a corner where everyone can't see the road and wants to jump out to attract attention, it must be very lacking in love." He said casually, his eyes didn't bother to stay on Mulciber, he only glanced at Lily, "Leaving Stay away from him, Evans, and watch his stupidity spread to you."

Mulciber was breathing heavily and looked like they were going crazy.He pulled out his wand at once - both James and Sirius reacted very quickly, pulling out their wands almost at the same time, pointing the tip at him.

"Article 140 of the school rules prohibits fighting in the corridor. If the circumstances are serious, each person will be deducted from [-] to [-] points." In the tense atmosphere, Eli suddenly spoke.Everyone looked at him, but he didn't finish his sentence.

"The points lead in the Slytherin House Cup isn't that much, is it?" he said quietly. "Persuade your friend, Severus."

Lily was startled for a moment, turned to look at him, and then looked around the corner, only to realize that Snape had actually been standing behind them the whole time, his thin body was tightly blocked by the big Mulciber, Lily just now Never saw him.

After being called by Eli, Mulciber looked back at him, finally giving the Gryffindors a chance to see him.Holding a few books for class in his arms, Snape paused for a few seconds under everyone's gaze, and pulled the corner of his lower lip towards Mulciber.

"Let's go, we don't have time to waste time with that kind of people." He said lightly, his eyes swept over James and Sirius who were holding wands, and there was undisguised contempt and disgust in his eyes, "Someone is still waiting for us In the past, I hope you remember."

From Mulciber's expression it was evident that for at least a moment he had completely forgotten about the matter.After being reminded by Snape, he showed a guilty expression, took one last look at the Gryffindors in front of him, and snorted heavily.

"I'll let you go today first." He said coldly, and left with a few Slytherin students in a mighty way, his back showing a little haste.

The Gryffindors had to rush to the next class, so they didn't stay here for too long.When James sat down in the Transfiguration classroom, he still happily mentioned Mulciber's sullen expression to his friends, which made them all very happy.

"I didn't expect Evans to be very eloquent." James said with emotion at the end, "She still has such a talent, I didn't realize it before...I suddenly think she is a pretty good girl, what do you think?"

"We think your reflex arc is too long, James," Sirius pointed out to him. "Most people know Evans is a pretty girl by first grade. Of course, we all know you were full You only have discipline and Quidditch on your head, and it's not your fault."

"I'm not saying she looks special... well, she's quite special." James said, propped his chin and turned his head, looking in the direction of Eli and Lily, "I just think...she's quite interesting? Probably so."

Unlike the relaxed and happy atmosphere of James and the others, Eli and Lily were completely silent.Eli took the textbook out of the schoolbag, and spent a few minutes before class reviewing the knowledge points of the previous class, and then suddenly heard Lily speak.

"... Who does he say is that kind of person? What kind of person?" She said in a rambling manner.

"He didn't talk about you." Eli knew what she was talking about, recalled it, and answered her, "It's about James and the others. It's none of your business."

Lily didn't show any relaxed expression, and she was silent for a while.

"But I was there," she whispered. "He spoke without hesitation."

"Maybe I didn't see you." Eli said casually. After all, he couldn't be sure what Snape was thinking, so he could only answer a logical one, "If you are very concerned, you can invite him to go with you when you go to Hogsmeade this week." , when the time comes, just talk about it.”

All right.Lily shrugged, accepting his suggestion, and turned away.Professor McGonagall started today's class, Eli had already taken several pages of notes, and suddenly heard Lily say softly: "You're right, Eli. Seaver is slowly getting better, and his attitude towards Muggles They have all softened... I should give him enough time to change."

However, the actual situation was not always as good as planned. Snape had promised well at first, but something happened suddenly at the weekend and Lily's pigeon was released.Lily originally thought that she would go with Snape, so she declined the invitation of her roommates to accompany her. Now that her roommates had already left first, she suddenly had no companions at all.

Fortunately, no one in Eli's dormitory has left yet. Eli bids farewell to them under the mocking gazes of his roommates, and walks with Lily on the streets of Hogsmeade. Both of them have calm expressions. I don't think there's anything inappropriate or embarrassing at all.

"It's a pity that Sif has something to do at the moment." Lily sighed and said to Eli regretfully, "I originally thought that Sif's parents are gone, and he might be financially... Mira, who is in the fourth grade, told Me, the Butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks is so delicious, I thought I could find an excuse to buy him a drink naturally, and he must be reluctant to buy it himself."

"The idea is good, but there are always surprises in reality, and it will be the same next time." Eli said reassuringly.

"That's right." Lily responded briskly, and said with a smile, "Sev is much happier than during the holidays recently. It seems that without his father who always stimulates him, he will really get better gradually. Mary always said I had a bad friend who said Sif was a Slytherin through and through, and I think that's pretty extreme, don't you? You can't rely on a house to tell a good from a bad person. I've known Sev for a long time, and I know he can How nice. He just needs kindness all along, and if we could all…”

Her words stopped abruptly, and her footsteps also stopped, as if she had been petrified, she stared steadily ahead.Eli was stunned for a moment, then stopped in doubt, followed her gaze, and couldn't help squinting slightly.

A group of Slytherin students...many of them were tall and burly, and most of them seemed to be students in the sixth and seventh grades.Severus Snape walked among them, the thinnest and most inconspicuous one, but his face was full of anticipation and excitement that he was trying to suppress, there was no doubt that he was one of them.

Lily's voice faltered.

"He...he said he had something to do today..." She stammered, glanced at Eli a little helplessly, then immediately turned her gaze to the group of Slytherins not far away, they The sound of conversation was carried into their ears by the wind.

"We all welcome you to join, Severus, you have outstanding talents, and you will definitely achieve achievements in the future. Even though you are a mixed race, occasionally there will be geniuses who can cross that gap, and you must be one of them." A Slytherin seventh year to Snape.

"Thank you, my pleasure." Snape rarely had such a genuine smile on his face, which made his spirits look better.His eyes sparkled from the praise, and he was obviously very pleased with it, but the student who spoke changed his voice and talked about other aspects.

"But from this point of view, your social circle is really a bit too low-level." He said to Snape bluntly, with undisguised contempt in his voice, "Look what kind of friends you make-dirty Half-blood wizards, and even dirtier mudbloods, you will be dragged down by them, Severus."

Snape's expression seemed to stiffen briefly, and Lily stared intently into his face.

He lowered his eyes a little, then raised them again, this seemed to be a slow motion that decided life and death.

But his voice was very fast.He said softly and vaguely: "Yes, I know...I will change it."

Lily shuddered, and the Slytherin students walked away talking and laughing. She turned her eyes to Eli in a daze, and repeated what she had heard.

"He knows...he knows?" She asked softly, with an uncontrollable tremor in her tone, "What did he say he knew? He said he would change it?"

"He doesn't know anything!!" she shouted angrily, wiping away the tears that suddenly welled up in her eyes, and said angrily, "Well, maybe I don't know anything either! I thought he became I'm happy because...it's because..."

She didn't go on, and Eli sighed softly.

"Your sister gave me one piece of advice," he said, "and I'm giving it to you in good faith—if you think your friend deserves a punch, you might as well punch him in the face. Never mind As much as you can."

Not far behind them, James and Sirius in the invisibility cloak looked at each other, and James was still holding a pile of cockroaches in his hand, which he wanted to throw on Eli's head to tease him well.

"What is she crying for?" James asked Sirius, his tone was a bit incredulous, "Because of the snot? Shouldn't she have known it was trash?"

"But she does consider him a friend," said Sirius fairly.

Yeah.James' eyes fell on Lily for a moment.

"He's not worth it," he said. "She should have known. She's fine. It's her friends who don't deserve her."

Lily couldn't hear his words, and wiped her tears in embarrassment.She was crying a little suppressed, which made her face flushed, miserable, and not as beautiful as usual.But James had watched her for a long time, as if he had never known her for the first time until today.

If you ask me how I think James fell in love with Lily, this chapter is my answer.This love does not start with a beautiful face, and it is not so vigorous that life and death follow each other at the beginning, but it must be a beautiful heartbeat that can make a naive boy mature.

In yesterday’s comment area, I saw my subway grandfather looking at his mobile phone, as if he had written more than 20 chapters in vain before, so I can’t fix it... My Harbin scholars friends, quickly gather and enter the comment area in an orderly manner = =

The original "Four Fiancés in the Beginning" will be updated from tonight~ a short sweet article, and the red envelopes are being distributed in the comment area!Friends, if you read the current words, please bookmark them ~ please!This really matters to authors!

A copy of the post:

26-year-old Meng Zhiwei lost her memory in a car accident, and her mental age returned to 16 years old. She felt that she was a carefree rich daughter yesterday. Today, she closed her eyes and opened them, and the massive amount of information was too much for her to accept.

What?My dad passed away?How did you get there?

What?There are several different versions of my father's family property distribution decision at the time of his death?

What?There are four men... claiming to be her fiancé at the same time?

Meng Zhiwei looked at the four men standing in front of him in a daze, completely blank.

The handsome and wealthy business elite, the romantic and thoughtful art upstart, the well-known actor of the class, the poor and proud young wolf dog, everyone claimed that they made a vow to be with her forever before she lost her memory.

Among these four men, one planned it for a long time, one made it on a temporary basis, one had an old grudge with her, and one just wanted to keep her safe, and each of them was lying.

Meng Zhiwei found an unsent letter at home, notifying who would attend her engagement banquet, and repeatedly altered and considered it, her intentions were obvious, but the recipient's name was not written on it.

Who is she traveling with whom she wants to be engaged?Who is her unspoken sweetheart?

Meng Zhiwei gradually discovered from the clues that in the past ten years, she had loved someone silently and for a long time, never declaring it, but never letting go.

She wants to clear the fog, clarify the truth, get everything back on track, and then find this person.

In the future, both sides will be updated at [-] o'clock every night~ Thank you for your support!
