[Comprehensive HP colleagues] That year

Lily was unhappy, and Lynn knew why.It wasn't just because her Muggle-born classmate was getting tripped up all the time, but also because she and Snape were getting more and more estranged.

How could there be no estrangement?Snape was being spotted more and more frequently on the scene of bullying his Muggle-born classmates, and if he did nothing, he was at least sitting on the sidelines and watching people laugh. The prerequisite for "Dark Wings" to agree to Snape's joining was that he could no longer mix with Mudblood Evans. Later, although they still quietly insisted on improving potions together in that empty classroom at night, they never walked together in public again. The two months of their public relationship after Edith dropped out of school seemed like a flash in the pan.

Lily thought that Snape had a hard time in Slytherin and needed to rely on these to ensure his safety in Slytherin, so although he hesitated to speak occasionally, he didn't have the heart to speak out the accusations.But Lynn, who is also a Slytherin, knows clearly that the current Snape has long been "trained" by Sirius and the others. He is no longer the one who had no friends in Slytherin in the first grade. The little boy who was ignored and bullied.The people around him, Mulciber and Avery, were all the main force in bullying Muggle classmates.He refused to meet Lily in public again, not because he was afraid of being retaliated, but because he wanted to climb higher.

It is understandable to expect a higher status, but when friendship and status conflict, which side will Snape choose?

Lynn knew that she had no position to blame Snape. After all, she herself had only corresponded with Lily because she was afraid that she would annoy those Slytherin classmates. If they both joined Avalon later, Together under the banner of group research, it is estimated that the friendship has not been seen until now.

But it's still different after all.At that time, she and Lily had only met each other a few times, ordinary friends who were somewhat close to each other because they were both Muggle-born.Snape and Lily have been childhood sweethearts for so many years.

The deeper the relationship between two people, the greater the expectations for each other.

She didn't like Snape, but she admired him for ignoring the pressure of rivalry between the houses for Lily.But now?He moved closer to black magic and pure blood theory step by step, and sacrificed Lily for those more and more.Lynn really wanted to know, in Snape's heart, Lily and Dark Wings were more important.If now he can gradually alienate Lily in order to join Darkwing, what if one day the Darkwing people ask him to point his wand at Lily?What would Snape do?

If Snape would hurt Lily one day, Lynn would rather do it now, and would rather have a long-term pain than a short-term pain.

Many, many years later, when Lynn watched Snape's burial, she would always think of what the two had said at that time.

He said, "I would never hurt Lily!"

She said: "As long as he doesn't yell that word at me, I will always consider him a friend."

Before Halloween in 1973, the members of "Dark Wings", who were unwilling to make small troubles, finally followed the Death Eaters outside the school and decided to give a big gift to Muggle-born classmates.

They settled on Alison Goodman, Lily's roommate.On the day before Halloween, she was found locked in the darkest cubicle of the bathroom, with disheveled hair, red welts on her face, and toilet excrement all over her face.

What is even more intolerable is that on the outside wall of the bathroom near the lintel, there is a line of words dripping with red paint:

"Mudblood get out of Hogwarts!" (1)

This was the worst action ever taken against a Muggle-born classmate.

Alison had passed out when she was found, and Lynn who arrived later saw Lily and Mary crying and sent her to the school hospital, and she couldn't remember anything after waking up, as if she had been cast. Forget it all.

Afterwards, Lily blamed herself and said that if she hadn't been busy researching potions and Mary was busy practicing Quidditch, at least Alison would have been discovered earlier.

Muggle-born classmates, especially Gryffindor Muggle-born classmates, were outraged, not only because they felt what happened to Alison, but also because they were stimulated by the slogan.It was fine to be verbally scolded before, but now, those people openly write the word "Mudblood" on the wall in this way, which is like an open war against all Muggle-born classmates.

That night, Lynn heard Lily and Snape arguing outside the classroom where Lily and Snape were refining potions together.

"They told me that every time a Muggle classmate was bullied and found out, you gloated at the scene. I didn't believe it. I tried my best to tell myself not to believe it. For this reason, Mary and Alison didn't know how angry I was. But now, it's a slap in the face, I actually saw you do that with my own eyes! Tell me, Severus, why? You told me that Muggle-born classmates are no different, so now, you are doing it now What is it?! You used to call Mary and Alison Mudblood, and I still explained to you in my heart that you just heard those words too much in Slytherin and were somewhat affected, but I didn’t really think so. So now, how do you explain it?!"

long silence.

"Speak up, do you think that if I don't say a word like before, I will calm down automatically in two days? Impossible! I must get your explanation today!"

"Because I hate that Alison! I pester you all day to explain potions to her. A fool like her doesn't deserve to learn potions! I won't let you be friends with that fool, she deserves to be..."

"Severus Snape!" Lily raised her voice sharply, "Alison is my friend, whether you want it or not, she is my friend! Neither Mary nor Alison I like you, but they never forced me to break up with you! Alison has been killed like that today, and you can still say she deserves it with peace of mind? You really let me down!"

Lily opened the door abruptly and met Lynn's eyes just outside the door.Lynn saw that Lily's eyes were red and swollen like peach kernels.

She wiped the tears off her face and said to Lynn: "I'm sorry Lynn, I'm not in the mood to make potions today, let's talk about it another day." She ran away while talking.

Lynn looked at Lily's figure running away, and then slowly turned his head to look at Snape. His eyes were burning, but his tone was calm and terrifying: "That's what you said, never hurting Lily?"

Snape gritted his teeth angrily and said: "I didn't hurt her, it was because she couldn't think about it and got into trouble with me because of such a fool. Besides, this is our business, what does it have to do with you? I have no obligation or mood to deal with you Do not give any explanation!"

Lynn sneered: "She can't think about it? You insult her friend, but say she can't think about it? Snape, you are really good! Do you think I don't know, although the group of perpetrators who bullied Muggle-born classmates I have never been able to find out, but you are definitely one of them! Snape, I will leave my words here today, if you don't restrain yourself, one day Lily will break up with you sooner or later."

"I said our business has nothing to do with you!"

"Yes, it's irrelevant. If it wasn't for Lily, I wouldn't bother to look at you. If you really hate Lily, you'd better pray that your dirty tricks won't be exposed by Lily on the spot, and that your little gang won't let you Point your wand at Lily yourself! You, do it yourself!"

After finishing speaking, Lynn stepped out of the classroom without looking back, leaving Snape alone, his face under the dim moonlight, and he couldn't figure it out.

In this regard, Lily and Snape started another cold war, that is, the last "birthday incident", this time the cold war lasted longer and was more thorough.For three whole months, they never spoke a word.There's quite a bit of Lynn's role here, though.Originally, before Christmas, Lily couldn't bear to forgive Snape, but Lynn said "he also called me Mudblood", which made Lily change her mind.

Lynn wasn't at all convinced that Snape would get better.Ever since the double love potion incident and the Alison incident this time, Snape has become an out-and-out villain in Lynn's heart.She hoped to do everything in her power to let Lily see Snape clearly as soon as possible!

But she never expected that it was James Potter, a dead child, who ruined her plan.

Sirius stayed at school during the Christmas holiday, James also stayed at school, and Lynn also dragged Lily to stay at school in order to keep Lily away from Snape.James was so happy now that he jumped up and down to please Lily.Sirius and Lynn really couldn't see it, so they gave him some normal ideas to comfort Lily.Things were going well at first, Lily's mood improved a lot during Christmas, and she didn't always think about the bad things with Snape.As a result, when everyone came back from the holiday, Lynn didn't pay attention. He heard that Potter had beaten Snape, and the beating was not serious. It was said that it was still under the guise of teaching him a lesson for Lily.Lily turned her face at that time, and said to Potter: "The matter between me and Severus has nothing to do with you", then turned around and helped the limping Snape to the school hospital.Lily felt guilty because Snape was injured because of herself, and insisted on taking care of Snape in the school hospital. Later, she didn't know what Snape said to Lily.

Lynn was almost pissed off.Potter, you bastard, no wonder you can't catch Lily.Turning around and seeing Lily and Snape showing sympathy for each other again, I couldn't help but feel very sick to my stomach.

What Lynn didn't know was that Lily forgave Snape not just because Snape was hurt because of her, but more because she learned that during the Christmas holiday that just passed, Sifner had been lingering. Her mother, Aunt Irene, who had been ill for a year, passed away forever in the regret of not being able to see her husband until she died, or in the last regret of her ex-husband.

Lily was sad and blamed herself for not being by his friend's side when he needed her most.But it had happened, and she had no other choice but to try to make up for the loss of his mother by being nicer to Severus.

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

Apart from the reconciliation between Lily and Snape, Sirius' brother Regulus also made Lynn feel that everything was not going well.On the first night back from the Christmas vacation, Regulus was furious at Crouch Jr. in the Slytherin lounge. The reason seemed to be that Crouch Jr. had arrested some relative of the Black family, Merry or something.Poor little Crouch, Xia Kelin was not there at the time, and no one was controlling Regulus, so little Crouch couldn't lift his head after being taught by Regulus in front of so many classmates.

Lin En couldn't hold back his soft-heartedness for a moment, and stepped forward to persuade him, "He is him, and his father is his father." As a result, Regulus even hated Lynn.

"You are really meddling. Why, my brother's meddling is not enough, and now you have to meddle with Crouch? I warn you, don't meddle in the affairs of our Black family in the future, you are not qualified!" Regulus said at the time In this way, Lin En couldn't come to Taiwan for a long time.

And Marceline has always been very close to Regulus, and Lynn and Regulus had a bad relationship, so during that time, even Marceline didn't have a good face towards Lynn.

To make matters worse, the situation is developing in an increasingly unstable direction, both on and off campus.Although since Alison's attack, the school has strengthened management and professors are on duty in turn, it still cannot completely prevent Muggle-born students from being attacked by various curses.But outside the school, Muggle-born wizards are not just as cheap as getting a little bit of injury. Newspapers reported a lot of news about Muggle-born wizards being severely injured by black magic. In the sky above those crime scenes, there will always be a ghostly and frightening pattern floating: a green skeleton, spitting out a huge python from its mouth.Sirius told Lynn that the pattern was called the Dark Mark.

On May 1974, 5, at the very end of the breakfast, the students opened the newspaper brought by the owl, and they were horrified to see the big news on the front page (12): The current president of the Association of Extraordinary Apothecaries, the famous contemporary master of potions, and the Muggle-born A model wizard, the 2-year-old Kelvin Oscar's family of five were wiped out, including Oscar himself, Mrs. Oscar, the sister of the current Minister of Magic, Oscar's son and daughter-in-law, and their two-year-old youngest son.Also died at the same time was an Auror named David Meadows (48).

In the picture in the newspaper, there was a black-haired woman with her head held high. She held up her wand, revealing the Dark Mark on her arm, and smiled triumphantly. Everyone who knew the Black family knew this person: Bellat Ricks Lestrange, maiden name Blake.

So far, the Ministry of Magic has officially announced that the Death Eaters are an illegal organization, and it is strictly forbidden to publicize any speeches about Voldemort, and anyone is strictly forbidden to provide any form of help to the Death Eaters organization!

From that day on, Sirius, Shaklin, Regulus and Narcissa, the four Hogwarts Blacks, began to receive cold eyes from all Muggle-born students and opponents of blood theory.The latter three were fine in Slytherin, but Sirius, this Black of Gryffindor, was under the greatest pressure and was pointed at by many people behind his back.

Then, on the third day after the incident, many people saw Sirius Black, the star student of the third year of Gryffindor, rushing out of the Gryffindor common room like crazy, followed by Gryffindor. The other three of the foursome.When he rushed out of the auditorium, Lynn and Xia Kelin from "Avalon" also rushed out.
