Snape snapped back. Seeing her calm expression, he seemed to turn to the console again with some irritation. As if to hide his obvious mixed emotions, he chose to pick up a small silver knife and began to process the potion materials.

Willow waited a few minutes, not hearing Snape's answer. So she looked up, and saw him with his back to her, as if he was busy on the other end of the counter.

"And that man, I suppose you must know?" she said quietly, staring at Snape's tall, thin back.

Snape's busy sorting potion materials paused, then began to move again. But she noticed that his hand seemed to be much heavier, and that he had squeezed three or four poor leeches in a row until their skin was torn apart and they could not be used.

However, Liu Quan did not intend to give up considerately. For some reason—perhaps because the presence of the real Lily had touched the deepest root of her mind (fog!)—she now wanted nothing more than to provoke the nerves of this important man who had recently been promoted to the main target, and to push him into a corner—perhaps that would alleviate the depression that had sprung up in her heart a little.

That's right. After the real Lily appeared, the system squeaked and self-checked and corrected itself for a long time, and finally adjusted the task strategy.

The original main story, which ensured Lily Evans to survive after the war, has now become a side story. And the original optional question, the side quest to ensure Severus Snape's survival, has become a must-do main story.

When Liu Quan heard the cold notification of the voice in his head, he almost didn't jump. Even if the real Lily Evans suddenly appeared in front of her in the form of Ginny Weasley, she had never been so surprised.

However, it is useless to argue. Doing a side line to the point of knocking out the protagonist.,Think about it, only the professor in HP can do it.。

The strategy of adjusting the main goal is probably because the real Lily did not appear as expected. The system also said, That's because of the self-adjustment of the plot inertia of this world - to put it simply and crudely, that is, because Liu Quan's fake Lily is too good, and compared with the heroine Lily of the original fandom, it is a little too popular and killing, so the plot inertia of this world will directly drag the real Lily back - in other words, it is to stumble and drag Liu Quan's top role, and pull the rating and importance of the character "Lily" back to the normal level.

Therefore, this also shows that the character of "Lily" can no longer be developed in a sharp and wise manner. She must reduce her sense of existence and involvement in the plot, try to keep a low profile, and only correct it at the necessary plot turning point; Therefore, taking a step back and choosing Snape, the only side target, to replace it is also a choice that the system bacteria have no choice but to make.

However, before he lowered his profile, Liu Quan felt that he could finally provoke the majesty of the new main target figure.

It's like a cat that is not very obedient and won't really cross the line and cause uncontrollable consequences, so let her cautiously try where the upper limit of the plot's margin for error is.

“…… She accused me of being an impostor. ”

While Snape remained silent, Willow Spring, who was the fake Lily, continued so calmly.

“…… and vowed to expose my vile disguise once and for all. ”

Snape irritated as he turned to the crucible on the workbench and lit the fire under the crucible, as if he didn't intend to discuss the subject with her any longer.

Liu Quan was a little helpless, it felt like a punch into the cotton, and he felt a little nowhere to focus.

She'd also like to just make the topic clear - she just wants to make sure he's alive after the final battle at Hogwarts, and she doesn't want to make sure he gets any fixed CP after the final battle at Hogwarts, right?

But now his attitude of avoiding talking about it is more terrifying than the gloomy and snarky attitude of more than ten years ago. At least at that time, she could take the opportunity of the quarrel to say her reasons, thoughts and attitudes in one breath. Now she is like a clumsy theatrical actor who faces the most demanding casting directors and performs a one-man show, as soon as the curtain opens and the lights fall on the stage, she has no room or opportunity to perform, and she is so embarrassed to freeze on the stage.

Moreover, only when his emotions rebound more violently, the inertia of the plot will fluctuate with it, and she can also judge where the upper limit of tolerance is;

She tried to peek at his face. However, his famous, greasy, half-length black hair hung down as he lowered his head, obscuring his face. She couldn't see anything.

Liu Quan sighed silently, deciding to be more blunt—to be exact, to be single-handed.

"Severus, what do you think about that?" she asked.

Snape seemed to be about to raise his hand and pour some juice into the cauldron. Hearing her question, his hand paused suddenly. Thankfully, no juice has been poured into the cauldron yet, otherwise Hogwarts' Potions genius would have blown up the cauldron like never before.

Snape irritated and put down the bottle in his hand, but did not look back. He propped his hands on the countertop, his wand at his hand. The liquid in the cauldron in front of him seemed to have been heated a little, and small bubbles began to slowly bubble up on the surface of the water.

“…… I don't have anything to think about. He finally replied, and at the same time, he finally began to resume the process of making potions that had been interrupted. Having failed to do it at the right time to add a certain amount of juice, he had to pick up his wand and stir it in the cauldron a few extra times—no doubt he had done it himself.

For a few seconds, he wondered if the imposter behind him would ask more terrible questions—like "Are you glad the real Lily is back?" or "Don't you think all the accusations she made against me were justified?"

If you want him to say - he doesn't have anything to say. The real Lily is back, so does it mean that her responsibilities and mistakes can be mitigated?

Dumbledore had told him that for the sake of the bigger picture, he couldn't get the real Lily back to that body right now - that is, he had to continue to endure the imposter continuing to dangle around Lily in the face and enjoy the fame, trust and convenience attached to the name of Lily Evans, and he didn't know when those days would come to an end - he felt that the assumption that he might be entangled with this fake Lily forever and ever was simply upsetting-

Thankfully, the fake Lily hadn't come to upset him for the time being. He seized the precious time to pour armadillo bile into the crucible.

Okay, now just wait four minutes and stir clockwise –

He recited the production process in his mind, but before he could finish it, he heard the voice of the fake Lily.

"She thought I was cheating on you, Severus. ”

Snape's hand shook. Thankfully, he hadn't put his wand in the cauldron to stir it yet. Otherwise, he will inevitably have a second crucible explosion tonight. His back stiffened, and he turned back angrily.

"I'm assuming you didn't say anything misleading to her—"

What he saw was the fake Lily looking up, bending her eyebrows at him and smiling. At her hand, all kinds of potion materials had almost been neatly processed, and they were sorted into different containers, which really looked a bit spectacular.

"Severus," she said with a smile, "doesn't she care about you? ”

She seemed to be saying something in his favor, but it only made him more irritated.

Snape quickly stirred, turned off the heat, lowered the cauldron, and bottled the potion in one fell swoop, before the imposter could say something more nerve-sensitive.

Then he saw the imposter wave his wand, and the long golden letters of the potion preparation list floating in front of her flew in front of him.

"This is a potion that Albus has requested. She explained with a smile, as if she didn't feel any pressure or guilt at all about the real Lily's return.

She looked as usual. This fact challenged his nerves even more.

Of course he knew what Dumbledore had promised her - what he didn't understand was why she had to occupy Lily's shell to do so if her purpose was only to be an alchemist.

She had claimed that Lily was in danger and that she had come to help her, but it turned out that she had failed to do so, and Lily was killed by the Dark Lord.

Right now...... For some reason that may never be understood, the body of Lady Berriel Fergton, where Lily was staying at the time, was dead, but Lily's true soul was spared, but Dumbledore weighed it up and decided that the fake Lily could do better than the real Lily as "Lily Evans——!

This fact pricked his nerves.

How ironic, how ridiculous?

However, he couldn't challenge Dumbledore's decision, nor could he challenge Dumbledore's authority - since it seemed that Dumbledore was the only one who really knew how to deal with the Dark Lord, and if he didn't deal with the Dark Lord, Lily wouldn't even have a chance to get his own body back, so what he had to do now was to do his best to help Dumbledore solve this top priority as soon as possible-

He took a breath, trying to say something to counter her triumphant expression—at least to make the disgusting smile on her face disappear—but before he could speak, the fire in the fireplace rose a lot, and Dumbledore's face emerged from there.

May 17:

I feel like I'll be able to update tomorrow at midnight as scheduled!

But today, I'm sorry for being a little late.

Maybe everyone has forgotten that the main quest of HP at the beginning was to make sure that Lily survived. The professor is just a side character.,Well, even if it's an additional question.,Of course, if the additional question is done correctly, there must be a prize.

But now the professor has become the main quest www

You can speculate about what this change means.
