[Comprehensive HP colleagues] That year

Chapter 20 Compromise and Acceptance

"Severus, things are not what you see. Listen to my explanation..." Edith Malfoy was about to cry, this Evans was so cunning that she would go to any lengths to frame her Hurt the back of your hand.

"I saw it with my own eyes, so there's nothing to explain," Severus said grimly.

"She did it on purpose! She saw you coming, so she deliberately acted like this to make you misunderstand me. Severus, you must not..."

"Lily is not this kind of person, stop slandering people here!"

Edith looked at Severus in despair, her heart sank.Why, why is he so obsessed with Lily?Does he know that he will be killed by her in the future!

God bless, just when Edith didn't know what to do, rescuers appeared, and her brother Lucius Malfoy interrupted their quarrel loudly: "Snape, you say my sister is slandering people? !"

Edith exclaimed "Brother!" in surprise, Severus panicked, and Lily frowned.

Lucius walked up to the three of them step by step, protected his sister behind him, and said in a cold tone: "Snape, if I heard correctly, you just accused my sister of slandering a mud species, huh?"

"I...not...I..." Severus was tongue-tied.

But Lucius didn't give him a chance to explain, he pointed his wand straight at Severus, a flash of red light flashed, and Severus fell heavily to the ground, with a look of extreme pain on his face.

"Severus!" Lily and Edith rushed over at the same time, then stared wide-eyed.But in the end it was Edith who spoke first: "Brother, Evans is responsible for this matter, and Severus cannot be blamed."

"Really? Snape, is that so?" Lucius asked in a drawl.

Snape glanced at Lily, but said nothing.

Lucius raised his wand again.

"No, brother, I won't allow you to hurt Severus." Edith stood in front of Severus.

Lucius once again showed a look of resentment, but finally withdrew his wand, and then turned to Lily: "Mudblood, I apologize to my sister."

Lily looked at the two brothers and sisters stubbornly, straightening her waist: "I'm sorry, Mr. Malfoy, even if you are a prefect, you have no right to ask me to apologize for something I didn't do."

Lucius sneered when he heard the words: "Yo, you are quite proud. But I want to tell you, you are a mudblood, so you don't have the capital to be proud. Apologize to my sister, right away! Otherwise, I will let Snape try A true taste of the Dark Arts."

"You! You are a prefect, how could you blatantly use black magic in Hogwarts?!" Lily shouted in disbelief.

"Why don't I dare? My father is the school manager of Hogwarts. Even if I was caught using black magic, it would be a point deduction at most. Not to mention, there is no one else here, even if I used black magic , and no fifth person knows." Lucius said casually, as if it was a very common thing for him to teach a junior with black magic on campus.

Lily looked at Severus who was still sitting on the ground with a face full of pain, trembling all over.

"I don't want to argue with you first-year brats, but if you dare to bully the Malfoys, you will have to pay for it. Apologizing, this is already the lightest punishment. If Edith hadn't interceded for Snape , do you think I will let you two go so easily?" Lucius said impatiently.

Lily glanced at Severus again, took a deep breath, swallowed all the unwillingness in her heart, and turned to Edith: "Miss Malfoy, I shouldn't have offended you, I apologize to you."

But Edith was so easy to dismiss: "I can't afford your apology. If you really regret it, don't pester Severus again in the future."

Humiliation and struggle flashed across Lily's eyes, but when she saw Lucius pointing his wand at Severus again, she opened her mouth: "Okay, I will never pester Severus again. "

"Never see Severus again," Edith added.

"Okay! I won't see Severus again!" Lily's eyes were red.

"Brother, since Evans has already apologized and confirmed it, I think it's okay to let it go." Edith turned to Lucius and said.

Lucius looked contemptuously at Lily, who clenched her fists tightly, and then at Snape, who was in pain, and said lazily, "I know you're not convinced, but I still have an appointment with someone today, so I don't have time to talk to you guys." Spend here. Mudblood, I hope you can keep your word, and you, Snape, I hope you understand what the hell you're doing. Edith, come back with me."

Lucius dragged Edith away like this, and Edith looked back at Severus frequently, but Severus kept his head down.

The Malfoys were gone, and the hallway was silent.Lily came to Severus and held out a hand to him, just like she had done more than a month ago.

"Lily..." Severus muttered as Lily helped him up.

"We can't meet in public anymore, can we?" Lily said softly.

Severus said nothing.

Lily sighed and turned away.

"Lily, at 9 o'clock every night, there is an empty classroom on the second floor. See you soon." She heard him say behind her back.

She paused, the soreness in her heart made her want to do nothing now, she just wanted to escape, but she finally said: "Okay, see you soon."

That was the first time in Lily Evans' life that she was so unwilling to compromise with her friend Severus, but at that time, none of them expected that after repeated compromises, there would be a death that could never be turned back. .

**************

That night, the boys' dormitory of Gryffindor.

"Sires, why did you stop me just now? The Malfoy brothers and sisters are too much. Then bully Evans! Snape is also a coward, if I fight Malfoy desperately, it is better than looking at my friends For being humiliated!" James said angrily.

"You can't fight at all, how can you fight? It's not like you haven't heard what Malfoy said just now. His father is a school manager, and even if he uses black magic, it will still be fine. Besides, even if we help them this time, then What? Can Snape be transferred? Or will Evans break up with Snape? If these two things can’t be done, it’s useless for us to help them!”

"Well, I admit that you are right." James said gloomily, "But after this time, I don't think Evans looks so annoying. She is really kind to Snape, It's a pity, it's not nice to meet people..."

"I don't have any feelings for Evans, but I think the snot-nosed man is really sad. I don't know if he will regret going to Slytherin later. I can't bear to trouble him again because of his miserable appearance." Sirius Said casually.

In this way, Sirius temporarily gave up his provocation against Snape, until one day in the second year, someone did not die again.

******************

Although the turmoil on Halloween had a great impact on the parties and voyeurs who were present at the time, none of these people liked to gossip, so no sixth person knew about it.Compared to Lily's disappointment, Lynn's life has been getting smoother recently.

That evening, Marceline was sitting on the bed in the dormitory, holding a wand and a feather beside her.

"Wingadim Leviosa."

The feather floated up gently, but fell on the bed again within a second.

"Wingadim Leviosa."

Feather ran high and high, but fell back on the bed within a second.

"Wingadim..."

This time, before the spell was finished, the bedroom door was opened, and Lynn walked in. Seeing Marceline's actions, she asked casually, "Are you practicing the floating spell?"

Marceline let out a "hmm", Lynn didn't say much, took the toiletries, turned and went into the bathroom.Avril looked at her back, slightly dazed.

This roommate had an ordinary appearance and an ordinary surname, so on the night of the first semester, Marceline didn't want to pay attention to her at all.But Marceline changed the next day. This Bruce knew the terrain of Hogwarts very well, helped her get out of the predicament of getting lost, and repeatedly made money for Slytherin by answering questions in class. The score was low, and Marceline later discovered that Bruce's paper grade was never lower than E, which made her pay more attention to this unknown roommate.Later, there were more and more practical classes in various subjects. Bruce was not outstanding in practice, but only at an average level. This made Marceline look down on her again, until two days ago, Bruce made her change again. , because in the Charms class, she was the only three Slytherins who successfully cast the Levitation Charm and got bonus points from the professor. The other two were Snape and Shaklin.

While Marceline was in a daze, Lynn walked out of the bathroom. She picked up a copy of "The Lost Ancient Magic" and sat on the bed to read it.Marceline struggled for a while, thinking that it would be better to make a fool of myself in front of one person than in front of the whole class, so she said, "Bruce, my levitating spell can't last any longer. The effect of casting this spell on the Internet is good, please show me again, I want to see what went wrong with me."

Lynn didn't hesitate after hearing what she said, and immediately picked up the wand beside him, and said "Wingardim Leviosa" to the book in hand, which seemed to have three to four hundred pages. The book immediately stopped firmly in the air.

Marceline was amazed, she cast the spell so hard on the fluffy feathers, Bruce could already levitate a book!But her pronunciation...

"Your pronunciation is wrong. Xia Kelin said in class that the word 'plus' must be pronounced long and clearly. I also listened to her, so I could barely let the feather stay in the air for a while. But You put the accent on the sound 'di'."

"I don't know," Lynn said, "this is the most effective pronunciation I have practiced no less than [-] times before the start of school. Maybe the most suitable pronunciation is different for everyone. Black's one may be the most suitable. Most people's pronunciation, but it's not for me."

"No less than five hundred times? Merlin, you are really patient." Marceline exclaimed.

"No way, after these days you probably understand that I'm actually quite stupid in practice, so I can only fly as a stupid bird first. The spell book says that the levitation spell can best exercise the little wizard's control over the flow of magic in the body, so I don't care about this. The spell is special." Lynn replied.

Avril paused for a moment and said: "You are really different from the girls I used to know, you know, to expose your shortcomings and say that you are stupid or something."

"I don't tell others that they can see it, so what's the need to hide it? Then what kind of girls did you know before?"

"Eh... Either it's Narcissa Black who is arrogant but her own ability is worthy of her arrogance, or it's Alecto Caro who has no ability but pretends to be arrogant."

"Puchi..." Lynn laughed. Marceline's description of Miss Carol was really apt. She thought that she was the only one who thought Carlo was like this, but she didn't expect Marceline to think so.

"What's so funny about that? Carol doesn't have any skills at all, and he's always blah blah blah. But speaking of it, I really know someone who has a personality similar to yours. She is my cousin, but later because of Insisting on marrying a Mudblood has already been expelled from the family."

Was expelled from the family for this reason?Lynn's heart moved: "The family you are talking about, shouldn't it be the Black family?"

Marceline raised her beautiful eyebrows upon hearing this: "How do you know it's the Black family?"

"I... I read the "Pure Blood Guide" and some related books before. It seems that the Black family likes to expel family members."

"Expulsion? The word is used, as if the Black family is a workplace." Marceline said a little funny.

"Uh... that's not what I meant. So, that cousin of yours is really from the Black family? Are you related to Black?"

"All major pure-blood families are related by marriage. My aunt is Narcissa Black's mother. The cousin I mentioned who looks like you is Narcissa's sister. I liked her a lot when I was young, quiet and quiet Yes, I don't talk much, but I have my own opinions. It's a pity that my opinions are too big, and they are useless on the right path."

Lin En didn't know how to proceed with this topic. This was a family affair, and it was not for an outsider like himself to comment, so he could only smile sarcastically.

So the bedroom fell silent, and to hide his embarrassment, Lynn said: "By the way, when you practice that spell, you can try to stick the trembling initial movement on the sound of 'Wei', that's what I did , I just don’t know if it works for others.”

So Marceline tried Lynn's method, this time, the feather stayed in the air for a full 5 seconds.

"Merlin, this trick really works!" Avril laughed excitedly, completely different from her usual haughty look, she stunned Lynn for a moment—the beauty is indeed a beauty No wonder she has so many suitors even though she is only in the first grade.

"It works." Lynn said with a smile.She saw Marceline start to practice that spell over and over again, and she turned around and started to read her book "The Lost Ancient Magic".

After an unknown amount of time, Lynn suddenly heard Marceline say: "Linen, thank you, I have finally practiced this spell."

She looked at Marceline: "I didn't do anything. You... what did you just call me?".

"Lynn. We are roommates, and we call each other by our surnames, which seems strange. From now on, I'll call you Lynn, and you can call me Marceline."

Lynn was pleasantly surprised.This should be regarded as the first classmate from the same school to accept her.

"Okay, Marceline," she said.
