With a bang, with a puff of green smoke, Willow Springs stepped out of the fireplace.

...... Then she saw the two men in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts talking, stopped talking, and turned her face in the direction of the fireplace almost at the same time.

Liu Quan: "......"

Merlin's beard, what the hell.

She must borrow a fireplace to leave Hogwarts today to run errands. Dumbledore generously lent the fireplace in the Headmaster's room, and kindly asked her to tell him about the business when she returned. It wasn't a big deal, she was going to report the situation to him anyway - but when she left, Dumbledore didn't tell her that he was going to talk to Severus Snape in the Headmaster's office today!

And now, Dumbledore was the first to say to her in that kind tone, "Oh, you're back, Lily." So, is it going well at the Ministry of Magic today?"

As soon as she heard the word "Ministry of Magic", Snape's eyes immediately swept into her face. The look in her eyes was like a sharp knife, and she felt a pain when she scratched it.

Liu Quan silently sighed inwardly and replied, "...... Everything went well. ”

She didn't elaborate on her full acting skills at the Ministry of Magic today, but she vividly portrayed a fiancée who was so sad that she turned pale and acted like sleepwalking, but still barely bounced together to "endure her grief" to complete the formalities of her deceased fiancé's final inheritance, nor how she had tears in her eyes, her voice erratic but her tone was forcibly calm, and she wiped the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief - thanking her for the mustard she had bought in the Muggle supermarket earlier—— As she took out the pendant that Siris had given her as proof, she trembled with her right hand and signed the inheritance papers.

...... Going through the inheritance formalities is not a big problem. The question is how to suppress the screaming magical portraits in the room at 12 Grimmauld Place, and the eccentric house-elf Kreacher, who is a bit sinister in the face of Siris.

However, Liu Quan decided that this question could be dealt with later. So she simply took a parchment roll from her pocket, walked to the table, and placed it in front of Dumbledore.

"This is an inherited document that has already been signed. 12 Grimmauld Place is mine for now. She said in a strange, robotic, mechanical tone without ups and downs or emotion.

Then, she took the tip of her wand and tapped the rolled parchment, and the parchment unfolded automatically, and it was indeed densely written in floral letters, with the name "Lily Evans" signed in the lower right corner, and the name faintly glowed with gold.

Dumbledore lowered his head and gave her a quick glance, then looked up again and smiled at her and nodded, "You did a great job, Lily. In this way, Siris's wishes and Harry's rights and interests in the future are perfectly safeguarded. ”

Liu Quan: "......"

For a moment, she felt a little speechless.

Of course, for the sake of victory, and for the sake of protecting Harry, any sacrifice was allowable - not to mention that she was not a sacrifice at all.

It was just a slight concession in honor, and now she could get a big old mansion, could she? and then she could go to the mansion and make a gesture of hostess to fight back against the old woman who hung on the wall, and the house-elves who were hostile to Siris hidden in the dark corners.

But now she stood here, staring at Severus Snape's gloomy eyes, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Perhaps he would have thought that she was a liar, and that she was accustomed to pretending to be affectionate—though he did not speak, it was clearly written in his eyes.

Sure enough, Severus Snape spoke, breaking the silence in the room.

"Well, it's probably been a while since such a major incident...... But no one has ever mentioned it, which is really ...... It's strange. ”

He said the "strange" in a silky voice, pausing before saying the word to emphasize its meaning. After he finished speaking, he deliberately dragged out the end a little, and his smooth tone was almost full of sarcasm, which made Liu Quan even more embarrassed.

"No...... And it didn't ...... Ciris had just come up with a whim, and he had only made this offer to me to secure Harry's inheritance......" she had to explain, "after all, he certainly can't sit idly by and let that house fall into Bellatrix's hands—"

"Ah, that's wonderful. Snape said, "In order to give his house to Poter, a troublemaker like himself, he'd have to find a godmother for Pock Kid first—a brilliant plan, not even Merlin's brain could have come up with such a perfect arrangement!"

Liu Quan: "......"

She froze for a moment, her brain might have been dulled by Snape's venom, and it took her two seconds to react to the key words in Snape's words.

“...... Godmother?!" she muttered.

Snape pursed his lips and sneered.

"yes, 'Godmother'. His voice sounded more like a silky cello, and in just a few words, he sang three sighs, and the fiery anger was wrapped in a deep voice, which was indistinct, but it made people feel faintly stinging.

"Don't you rejoice in it? That stupid dog has finally inadvertently given you a chance to get the same identity as the real Lily—to be the mother of that broken boy in name!

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment.

"You...... Do you care about that?" she asked, a little incredulous.

In fact, she didn't even realize this fact before Snape said it - nominally becoming Cialis Black's fiancée was tantamount to becoming Harry Potter's godmother-to-be, and her fake Lily was given almost the same status as the real Lily, Brielle Potter.

Snape probably thought she still had ambitions to replace the real Lily as an impostor. However, if you think about it, Lily here, the Lily who is familiar to wizards in the wizarding world, is actually played by her most of the time?

She doesn't have the ambition to become the beautiful Lily in the original work, and then become his white moonlight - in fact, she can't become his white moonlight, probably at best it's just a mosquito blood on the wall that can't be wiped off, can't get rid of, and usually looks at it and disturbs. No matter how good Lily is in the original work, she actually won't envy it.

But wasn't she responsible for the Aurors' desperate battles with the Death Eaters on the streets, the Muggle Studies professor and the Hogwarts trolls, and even when she was a Gryffindor flower trying to learn magical knowledge that she was not familiar with, she did more than half of it under Lily's skin.

Although she had to take Lily's name, she felt that she had worked hard enough. Although she was sorry for him, she didn't feel that she had done enough to insult the name "Lily Evans".

She saw the Potions professor in front of her—oh no, soon he would no longer be a Potions professor, but would be appointed to the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts professor he had always hoped to be—Severus Snape stared at her condescendingly with a cold, complicated look.

The look in her eyes made her feel a pang of sadness, and she didn't even know where it came from for a moment.

She took a deep breath, slowly straightened her back under his gaze, and said:

"Harry will be an adult in a year. When that time comes, I'll hand over 12 Grimmauld Place to him. I'm temporarily pretending to be Ciris's fiancée, just trying to trick the old spells that have been added to that house. I've heard that the House of Black is a family rule that the house should only be passed down to a man with the surname Black. Besides, there might be some ancient spells and spells on their house to make sure it wouldn't be possessed by non-purebred wizards - Siris thought of some way to change those spells, but he couldn't get rid of them completely, and the best way to do that was to go through this legal formality, and the Ministry of Magic documents would probably still have some effect, otherwise, the legal heir to that house would become Bellatrix - you wouldn't want that to happen, would you? That's the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, you know. ”

She uttered these words clearly in the calmest of tones, then looked into Snape's bottomless eyes and added:

"I have no intention of taking the place of the real Lily, whether it be her place in the minds of others, or her status as Harry's mother. I respect her bravery and sacrifice, so I want to help her son – Harry – get what he deserves. It's as simple as that. Severus, I don't know what you think about it, but for me, I have a clear conscience-"

Her calm tone seemed to sting Snape for a moment. His face twisted violently.

"A clear conscience, a clear conscience?!" he repeated her words twice, crooked the corners of his mouth and laughing, "I should have known that no matter what happened, you would only say that-"

"That's because I do, Severus. Liu Quan said to him calmly and in an unusually gentle tone.

And this calm gesture seemed to suddenly anger the next Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. He raised his voice slightly.

“...... That's because every time you can be the one who has the last laugh!"

Liu Quan: ?!

She couldn't help but be stunned.
