And all these subtle changes in their expressions happened in the blink of an eye, and before Willow Spring could react, James Potter had already rushed forward with his wand in his hand, pointed at Snape, and shouted angrily, "Apologize to Lily immediately!

Snape didn't speak, didn't look at him. His expression was constantly changing, and anger, shame, anger, embarrassment, and a little remorse and panic gradually floated on his pale face.

His eyelashes trembled violently a few times, and finally he raised in a trembling and dangerous way, and a line of indescribably complicated gaze floated from under his eyelids and landed on Liu Quan's face.

Liu Quan's expression was still calm, so calm that it was almost blank. This reaction, which was completely unexpected, made the noise of the scene suddenly stuck, and the sudden silence enveloped the small square world by the lake. Everyone's eyes were on her.

Her lips twitched slightly, and her verdict was finally made.

She stared calmly at Snape's inhuman face, but the words were directed at James Potter.

"Mr. Potter, I thank you for your kind words. But what is the difference between what you call Mr. Snape and what he has just done to me? I don't want to see that happen. I'm sure that as a Gryffindor, any problem I face can be solved on my own. I think you know that even revenge can be done on my own, and I don't need you to do it for me. ”

Everyone was stunned, including the Marauder Quartet and Snape.

The girl's calmness made everyone feel a terrible emotion, as if there was a faint storm hidden beneath her calm appearance, like a dark tide raging sea, which, once a huge wave was raised, would swallow up everything in the world.

James's face also turned red, looking very unwilling, and he wanted to argue: "But, Lily, ......!"

Liu Quan glanced at him coldly.

Ciris, who is very popular with girls, naturally knew what this kind of look meant, he briefly measured the situation in front of him, came up and hugged one of James's arms and dragged it back, and said with a thin mud in his mouth: "Oh, of course, of course." Let's leave this matter to the esteemed Miss Evans herself, and I'm sure she'll be able to sort it out as a qualified Gryffindor—"

James struggled, still unwilling. Cialis whispered in his ear, "Listen, James, let Lily take care of herself! Don't you notice that her name for that nasty snot has become 'Mr. Snape'? You and I both know that no one can afford such an insult...... Isn't it your long-standing wish to let Lily get rid of that snot spirit herself?!"

James paused, and was submissively pulled back by Ciris. So in the middle of the encirclement formed by the crowd, only Willow Springs and Snape were left.

Having solved a problem, Willow Springs, slightly satisfied, turned back to Snape, looked him in the eye, and said word for word, "I am very disappointed and angry at what you just said, Mr. Snape. It's heartbreaking that your long-standing prejudice against Muggles has prompted you to verbally insult your best friend in public. ”

Snape shuddered slightly as if he had been pricked by a needle.

Willow Quan wondered, even if he already knew that the person living in this shell was not his true friend, would he feel remorse and fear that he might lose Lily's friendship forever for this sentence?

In the time since he uttered this, he stared at her expression, as if he had never known that she was no longer the same Lily Evans. He still looked at her fake Lily with affection and humility, and made no secret of the fragility in his countenance—even in the presence of the Gryffindors who often embarrassed him with malice.

Perhaps he was afraid that one day the real Lily would return as suddenly as she had left in the first place, when they were no longer best friends, and he had no reason or excuse to stay with her.

Thinking like this, Liu Quan couldn't help but feel a trace of pity for the person in front of him, and even his personal attack on himself just now seemed to be less important.

In fact, it's just a scolding of a mudblood, in the real world, it's like being scolded for being a mongrel or a son of a bitch, although it's hard to hear, but if this kind of foul language is walking in a place where boys gather on a college campus, you can listen to dozens of sentences a day, what's there to break up. For Liu Quan, who was immersed in hard reading before crossing over and was like an independent and strong female Chinese paper, she herself would sometimes burst out a sentence or two such as "your uncle" in a bold way—maybe it was this kind of remarks about racial discrimination, and the style of painting of the society of Crooked Guoren would be more emphasized?

Presumably, Aunt Rowling wanted to express the idea of marriage that "people of the same kind who are similar can stay together for a long time" or "those who are not of my race must have different hearts" - so Lily, the flower of Gryffindor, must marry a Gryffindor, and the gloomy Slytherin has to be out.

Liu Quan didn't want to wash the White Snake Courtyard or blackened the Lion Courtyard - after all, she was still the flower of the Lion Courtyard - but she was very puzzled by this setting that suddenly derailed everything. She thought that it was fortunate that it was Lily who was standing here today, who had changed her core, otherwise Snape would have ended up with the same tragic ending as the original book. Sometimes, there is no turning back when the bow is opened, and there is really no regret medicine to sell in life.

In the silence, she looked directly at Snape's pale face. The look on his face seemed to be pain, resentment, apprehension, and remorse. She thought, maybe she really guessed that when he said the three words Mudblood, he was referring to her, not the real Lily, but anyway, in the original book, he was referring to Lily, and from then on, his life was like a firefly in an autumn night, quickly burned out in the dark night, and there was no light to speak of.

But in front of so many people, she couldn't forgive him quickly. She could ignore the Gryffindor-Slytherin dispute for a while, but her ill feelings towards Muggles also made her angry. If it weren't for his prejudice against Muggles, perhaps he wouldn't have scolded the word mudblood today, and he wouldn't have had the many twists and turns that followed.

Now she understood why the system had to do a side quest here - it wasn't something that would be solved by going up and kicking him twice, right in plain sight.

This is a lion and snake dispute. There is already a vague prototype of the future rivalry between the White Wizard and the Dark Wizard - the pure-blood theory must be suppressed here, and as a hemp wizard of Gryffindor, it is impossible to easily forgive each other. No matter how strong and strong the friendship is, it will not work.

...... Damn, Seaver, do you look down on Muggle seeds, then come and fight.

Liu Quan slowly raised her right hand, and in her hand was the wand she had been holding tightly in the palm of her hand. She pointed her wand in front of Snape. Snape, on the other hand, stood straight but silent as if under the petrification spell, unresponsive to the wand raised in front of his eyes.

Willow Springs: "To protect my reputation, Mr. Snape, I now propose a duel to you. ”

As if struck by lightning, Snape's body spasmed, and a look of surprise and disbelief finally appeared in his eyes. He seemed to want to take a step back, but his figure moved slightly, and he still stood there, stubbornly silent, neither agreeing nor resisting.

Liu Quan already felt that he could not agree, so she took a step further and said, "If you refuse to accept it, or deliberately lose to me in a duel to show your apologies, then I have to regard it as a deeper insult to myself. I'm sure you're not going to make another mistake, Mr. Snape—are you?"

Snape's lips twitched a few times, and finally a few words were squeezed out of his lips. “...... Of course. ”

Once he spoke, he probably found that continuing to talk to Lily Evans, genuine or fake, was not as difficult as he had imagined. So he spoke a little more fluently.

“...... Your request will be respected by me as always. ”

Liu Quan was a little surprised, he didn't expect him to reply to her like this. This sentence somehow wonderfully pleased her somewhere, and although she still maintained a calm expression on her face, she involuntarily bent her eyes and said softly, "Very good." What do you think of the fact that I'm going to invite Professor Flitwick to be a witness to this duel?"

Snape's eyebrows jumped slightly. His face was still pale without a trace of blood, but in his deep dark eyes it was as if some kind of torrent that had stagnated had resumed its slow surge.

He replied in a low voice, "Of course, it's up to you." ”

Liu Quan stared him in the eye, convinced that he had figured out the real reason why she had chosen Professor Flitwick to testify. Then she smiled slowly, pulled a handkerchief from the pocket of her school robe, cast a Transfiguration Charm on it, turned it into a white glove, and threw it on the ground in front of Snape with a thud.

“deal。 ”

Then she stopped looking at him, withdrew her wand, straightened her back, ignored the Marauder Quartet on the side, made her way through the crowd, and walked back in the direction of the castle.

James Potter was stunned for a moment, and hurried after her. "Lily!

Siris raised an eyebrow as he watched as Snape leaned down with incredible slowness, picked up the white glove, and squeezed it tightly in his hand. He coughed with a hint of disgust in his expression, as if he had seen through Snape's inner movements, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Snot, look at the way you look." Do you think this is a souvenir from Lily?"

Snape didn't answer him, just glanced at him. The coldness in his eyes made the other three members of the Marauder Quartet who remained in place tremble slightly, and Peter was even more frightened and shrunk his neck.

Lupin sighed and tugged at Siris' arm. "Gone. Lily and James are back, what are we staying here for?"

Sirius snorted and said in a somewhat flirtatious tone, "I was thinking, Lily is a master at charms...... If it weren't for the competition to boil slugs, snot essence probably wouldn't have won. ”

The subject was intriguing to Peter, and he poked his head out behind Lupin and stammered, "But, but Evans is not bad at potions...... Professor Slughorn didn't, didn't he invite her to his ...... Belch...... What club?"

Siris let out a cheerful laugh. "Slug Club! Peter, sometimes I admire your memory. He slapped Peter on the shoulder, knocking him to a staggering role. "Walked away. If you lose to a Gryffindor girl, I wonder how those gloomy and vicious Slytherins will entertain their kind?"
