Like what she had experienced in the world of Bunsen, and all the worlds she had experienced with the element of [School Life], after completing one of the exams, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Liu Quan felt a deep exhaustion.
Sunlight streamed through the tall windows of the auditorium and filled the more than a hundred small tables in the same direction. Most of the tables were empty at the moment, and the young wizards who had finished their exams were anxious to escape from this stressful place and go to other parts of Hogwarts to do something – maybe a small talk, maybe a stroll, maybe a sunbath, maybe a lie down and a nap - to relax their nerves that had been tense for some time.
Although there is still a Transfiguration test to be examined, many people don't seem to be worried about it - perhaps because of the fact that the annoying exam is about to end, the air of joy has filled the interior of Hogwarts Castle.
But Lily Evans remained in the half-empty auditorium. Her position was near a corner, and since she had handed in the test papers, she had been holding her head with one hand, sitting in her seat with half of her body tilted, staring aimlessly at the interior of the auditorium, which had suddenly become chaotic, and watching the students leave in groups of threes and twos—
However, soon her unusual leisure was shattered.
Two girls in golden school robes rushed into the auditorium in a panic and shouted loudly before they could run in front of her.
"Quick, Lily! Potter and that Slytherin got into a fight by the Black Lake!"
Liu Quan stood up suddenly. The chair was knocked backwards by her excessive movements, and it fell to the ground with a thud.
Almost at the same time, the voice of the system bacteria flashed in her mind uninvited.
[Now release the third side quest in this world - the intractable divergence.] Description: Resolve the point of disagreement between Lily Evans and Severus Snape in the original game that ultimately collapsed, and salvage the precarious friendship. The duration of the mission is three days. 】
Liu Quan: [Merlin is on top!!Where did you get all these side quests?!]
But the system bacteria no longer answered her, and the two Gryffindor girls, who had obviously been frightened by the sudden incident by the Black Lake, were still waiting for Lily's reaction with nervous faces.
Liu Quan sighed, nodded at them, and said, "Thank you!" and then turned and ran towards the door.
She only had a vague impression of the past, after all, the plot was only a flash in the movie version - but when she ran to the lake, she was shocked to find that it was much worse than she expected.
In the distance, she saw a crowd of people gathered around them, over the shoulders of the young wizards, and she couldn't see Snape, but she saw James and Sirius standing in the middle of the crowd.
Both of them were quite tall for their peers, and James's hair, which he always scratched up and was tousled by himself, and which he thought would be able to compliment his handsomeness, stood out in the afternoon sun. Siris stood beside him, and the two of them seemed to have overcome the psychological barrier of being older or younger than Lily Evans and regained their close friendship.
The two of them were standing side by side, the sun on their faces and shoulders - they looked even more handsome, and they didn't live up to their reputation as two Gryffindor princes.
However, Liu Quan's eyebrows slowly furrowed.
She slipped her wand out of her sleeve and held it in her palm, then walked over.
By the time she reached the periphery of the crowd of onlookers, she could already hear Snape's angry, almost resentful, cursing a barrage of foul words and curses.
Then she suddenly heard James's cold voice.
"Wash your mouth," he said, "clean up!"
With his incantation, a violent choking and vomiting sound came from the center of the crowd.
Liu Quan's heart tightened, and he immediately rushed forward in three steps and two steps, and forcefully pushed away the crowd of onlookers—as soon as they saw that it was her, they all stepped aside to make way for her—and rushed in.
Almost immediately, she saw Snape fall to the ground, looking disfigured, with pink soap bubbles spitting out of his mouth. His lips were covered with foam, as if it made him want to vomit, and he couldn't breathe—he kept retching, and a hand reached for his neck, as if trying to scratch at his throat.
Before he could ask what was going on, or question James or Siris, Willow immediately waved his wand at Snape and shouted, "Stop!!"
Snape's retching and choking seemed to stop.
James immediately reached out and grabbed his hair.
"How are you, Lily?" he greeted in a warm, tone that was very different from the one he had just had.
Liu Quan was simply angry with this bear child.
"I-no, good—— what did you do to him?!What did he mess with you, James?!"
As if accustomed to her tone, which seemed to explode as if she had eaten gunpowder, James assumed that he was carefully considering the point, and replied in a half-joking tone that he thought was very funny...... Actually, it's mostly because of his existence - if you understand what I mean?"
Many people laughed embarrassedly, including Cialis standing next to him, and Peter Pedirou, who was sitting on a nearby stone and watched what happened.
But Lupin, who was also sitting on a stone and reading a book, did not smile. The textbook was still spread out on his lap, and he was looking up from the page and glancing at Lily Evans as if he were cautious. But when he saw the fire-bursting look in her eyes, he lowered his head again.
Of course, Liu Quan didn't laugh either. In fact, not only did she not laugh, but she was almost angry.
"Isn't that funny?!" she yelled at James, "self-righteous, arrogant, bullying classmates - don't let anyone think Gryffindor would do such a thing!
However, James, who is often rejected by Lily, seems to have become somewhat accustomed to her anger.
"If you hang out with me, I'll let him go," James said to her with a smile as if not taking her anger to heart, "come out with me, and I'll never touch a hair of the old snot spirit with my wand again." ”
As Lily and James argued, Snape didn't say a word the entire time.
"Don't even think about it! I don't hang out with guys who think about how to bully my classmates every day!" Liu Quan angrily rejected James's proposal, "And I said it! I don't date boys younger than me!!"
It seemed that Siris was supposed to speak at this time, but when he heard Lily bring that age stalk out against James again, he wisely remained silent.
But at this moment, Snape suddenly rolled over and stood up behind James, and took advantage of the situation to pick up his wand, which had been thrown away by James.
"No Shadow!" he shouted.
"Oops!" cried Ciris.
However, it was already too late. After a flash of light, a deep wound appeared on one of James' cheeks, and blood splattered on his robes.
James was quick to react, and he jerked around and shouted, "Upside down Admiralty!" - the second flash of light coming from his wand was almost instantaneous.
Willow Spring only felt a flower in front of him, and then he was shocked to find Snape hanging upside down in the air with his head down!
As a result of that action, his robe fell over his head, revealing skinny, pale legs, and a pair of shabby panties that were about to turn black.
Liu Quan: !?
She subconsciously closed her eyes for a moment.
But in the small crowd around them, there were many cheering, and James, Siris, and Peter laughed heartily.
Hearing this shrill laughter, Liu Quan immediately opened his eyes again. Snape was still seen hanging upside down in the air from her head and feet, and her face turned blue with anger for a moment.
"Admiralty has landed!" she exclaimed.
With a thud, Snape fell to the ground. Probably because this unbuffered and unprepared hard landing was too painful, he shrank up, and the facial features on his face were almost wrinkled with pain.
"Potter!!" Willow Quan felt that his anger gauge had not only been blown up, but also flashed red light—
"That's what you're capable of?!" she yelled at James angrily, "I thought you weren't that bad! Even if it happened last time!, your actions slapped me in the face!
"Let's go," James seemed to finally pick up her anger and appreciate how serious she was - noticing that Snape was struggling to get to his feet at the moment, he said to Snape in disgust, "Lucky for you, Lily is here, snot-"
"You don't have to worry about me, Mudbloods!" Snape shouted angrily.
Liu Quan was stunned for a moment.
She saw the faces of James Potter and Ciris Black on the other side with a moment of consternation, and then a look of smugness. James's expression was even more indignant mixed with three points of triumph - he was probably both angry at the fact that Gryffindor Flower had been insulted by a sinister Slytherin, and instinctively realized that this was an opportunity to break with Lily Evans and Severus Snape once and for all. And Siris's expression was full of "Look, Lily, I knew he was such a thing that even a friend could insult at will".
She also saw Remus Lupin and Peter Pedirou jerk up from the stone. Lupin stared at Snape for a moment with a look of surprise and disagreement on his face, but did not show any obvious likes or dislikes. Peter's face was full of horror, and he looked at his friends, then at Lily, who should have been angry, and then at Snape, whose face had turned pale from his gaffes, and seemed to instinctively sense that a storm was coming, so he shrank his stocky body back again, almost hiding in the shadow behind Lupin.
Snape's face turned red for a moment after he uttered the fateful words of the original book, as if he immediately realized what a huge mistake his gaffe and recklessness was, and his face instantly turned white. He moved his lips a few times, but he didn't dare to look directly at Liu Quan's face, and the hand holding the wand trembled slightly.
