It would be a mistake to think that this story could end with "they lived happily ever after" (no).

In fact, it wasn't long before Willow Springs was summoned to the Headmaster of Hogwarts again by Dumbledore after Snape did act as Snape's "other party to the promise" and showed him the bizarre combination (fog!) in front of Dumbledore.

After coming out of the Headmaster's Office, Willow Spring had changed her face - she disguised herself as Bigonia, left Hogwarts through the fireplace, and apparitioned to the mission location.

By this time, night had fallen. In the darkness of the night, her face was tense and solemn, without a hint of a smile.

The scene she had seen earlier in the meditation basin in the principal's office was still deeply imprinted in her mind.

On a dark and moonless night, there was an adult man standing on the hillside. The man turned around at the presence of the master, Albus Dumbledore, his wand clenched tightly in his hand, as if waiting for someone or something, and his fear was even contagious to Willow Springs.

Suddenly, Dumbledore raised his wand, and for a split second a blinding, zigzag white light flashed through the air. The man fell to his knees, his wand flying out of his hand.

Through that white light, she finally saw that it was Snape.

For a moment, she had only one thought—this scene still happened...... Why is this happening?!What has become of the plot?Or is it impossible to change the plot even without Lily, who is Harry's mother?!

Objectively speaking, Snape at this time completely devoid of the cold, stern, powerful, and intimidating characteristics of his later Potions class at Hogwarts. Liu Quan trembled at the sound of his voice.

"Don't kill me!"

"That's not my intention. Dumbledore replied in a cold tone. She listened incredulously as the kind old wizard spoke to the other in a cold tone.

"What's going on, Severus, what message does Lord Voldemort have for me?"

"No—no message—I'm here for myself!"

Snape wrung his hands, looking a little distracted, his black tousled hair fluttering around his head.

"I-I brought an alert-no, a request-please-"

"What can a Death Eater ask of me?" Dumbledore asked quietly.

Snape stammered. "That—that prophecy...... The prophecy ...... Trelawney......"

"Ah, yes," said Dumbledore, "how much did you convey to Voldemort?"

"Everything—everything I've heard!" said Snape frantically, "and so—because of that—he thinks it refers to Brielle Fergton!"

He mentioned Harry's mother's name, and Willow Springs' shiver subconsciously. A shiver mixed with confusion, anxiety, incomprehension, and other more complex emotions ran down her spine.

"The prophecy doesn't say of a woman," Dumbledore said, "of a boy born at the end of July—"

Snape's voice suddenly rose a little higher. "You know what I mean! He thinks it's Beryl's son, and he's going to chase her—kill them all—"

"That's funny," Willow Springs, hearing Dumbledore say in a tone that bordered on a sneer. Perhaps it was because of some indescribable anger that the old wizard's voice was mocking.

"Just last month, I thought the person who was important to you was Lily Evans. You came to me at that time, and you said it all the way - what do you say? You wish you had a chance to propose to your childhood friend, the Gryffindor Flower of Hogwarts?—— and you want me to say, Mr. Snape, you're a lucky man. ”

Snape's expression distorted, and his face pale, even in the darkness of the night. His lips twitched, and he was clearly unable to say anything to defend himself.

"I don't— I don't know if you understand why, but I ...... I'm not without reason. Snape finally squeezed out a word, his voice trembling, as if he were struggling to endure a great and indescribable pain. "Everything...... Everything happened so suddenly and unbelievably that I ......"

His nose fluttered, and he stopped abruptly, as if he didn't know what to say anymore.

"Okay, let's put Lily aside for now. A poor fiancée - she must not know what you came to see me today. Dumbledore said, finally stopping his taunt at Snape, "Since Beriel is so important to you, Voldemort must have spared her death, right?

"I—I begged him—"

"You disgust me. Dumbledore said in a contemptuous tone. Snape looked a little shrunken. "So, you don't care if her husband and children live or die? they can die as long as you can get what you want?"

Snape didn't say anything, just looked up at Dumbledore.

"Then hide them all," he said in a hoarse voice, "to keep her—their—safe." Please. ”

"And what do you give me in return, Severus?"

"As a for-return?" Snape stammered at Dumbledore.

After a long time, he struggled to spit out a word from his mouth, a word that almost everyone who had seen HP could not forget: "Anything." ”

This memory ends here. Willow Quan remembers that when he looked up from the meditation basin, Dumbledore, sitting behind his desk, was staring at her with his chin in his hands. When he saw the expression on her face, those wise and gentle blue eyes shone with pity and comfort.

"I think you should still know about it," he said softly, with a slightly cautious look. "I can't hide the truth from the people who deserve the best to know the truth just because Severus is secretly joining the Order of the Phoenix......"

In his eyes, the betrayed Gryffindor Flower seemed to have taken a moment to clear his mind. Finally she spoke.

"Non-...... Thank you very much for thinking so, Professor Dumbledore. ”

Lily Evans raised her gaze and looked directly at him. Dumbledore noticed the aftermath of shock and disbelief in her beautiful green eyes, but her face had regained its composure. The moment she looked up from the meditation basin, the sad look on her face had disappeared.

"I had a suspicion that there was a reason for his sudden proposal. Now I think I can probably guess it...... The mysterious man told him to do this. Her voice even regained its composure, doing an analysis.

"Or does the mystery man think that by doing so, he will be able to clear the fact that Severus was a Death Eater in front of others?" Perhaps he thinks that a Death Eater who has reformed his ways, and who has not been deeply involved in their criminal behavior, can help him gather more information when the identities of the other Death Eaters are more or less exposed, as you are going to ask Severus to do?"

She smiled, and shook her head.

"I was really surprised...... But I don't think this truth is unbearable for me – because I guess subconsciously I was prepared for it. ”

Dumbledore looked at her with a little apprehension.

Lily...... Honestly, I was a little surprised when you came to me - there aren't many things in the world that can surprise me. ”

The old wizard tried to speak to her in a very gentle tone—very different from his attitude towards Snape.

"At the time, I also thought the news that you were going to get engaged was unbelievable...... But at the time I thought, if you think so, what can anyone say? Severus is a friend of yours who has grown up with since childhood, and he himself is not a good character, but he is unquestionably talented, and I thought ......" the old wizard paused for a rare moment before continuing, "...... His affection for you is very sincere. ”

He saw a wry smile at the young red-haired woman in front of him.

"Oh, he is. She said.

“...... Although it's hard to explain how exactly all this happened...... You can continue to trust him, though. She continued to utter surprising words.

"And in order to continue to confuse the mysterious man, it doesn't matter if our engagement is not dissolved for the time being. There is always something more important in this world than personal feelings...... I'm sure you can understand that. ”

In Dumbledore's rare look of surprise, she uttered something even more astonishing tonight.

"And, if you need someone you can trust to contact him as a member of the Order of the Phoenix, may I recommend Bigonia Colombon. ”

......

Putting away the short and inappropriate memories, the willow spring that used the [Advanced Transfiguration Technique] stepped onto the hillside outside the village.

At this time, the houses, flowers, and trees that the Death Eaters had set fire on the streets in the distance were still burning, bursting into flames in the deep darkness of the night.

A black-robed figure rushed up from the hillside against the light. The tall figure gradually revealed its full view from the hillside, and Liu Quan coughed quickly.

She's now going to have to disguise herself as a very different person in front of the most famous and disguised double agent in the HP world, so it's best to be careful and make sure she doesn't get in the way of a goof.

She coughed, lowered her voice, and quickly came to Snape.

"Albus has sent me to meet you. She deliberately only called Dumbledore by his first name, as if she knew him well.

Snape, however, stared at her suspiciously.

In fact, it is no wonder that he has doubts. The fact that Snape joined the Order of the Phoenix was a shocking secret - even outsiders like her, who had the skills of a plot prophet, didn't know exactly when, and didn't learn the truth until earlier today when he was summoned by Dumbledore.

He raised his head slightly with a little defensiveness, stared at her condescendingly, and said mockingly, "Who are you? a ridiculous clown who wants to take credit from me?"

I have to say that this sentence is really wonderful. If she was a Death Eater he hadn't met, she would have gotten a satisfactory answer to Voldemort's questioning, whether or not she had been ordered by Voldemort to test him. If she was a new member of the Order of the Phoenix, as she claimed, then she would only see his questioning as a mockery of her eagerness for quick success and meritorious service.

It's a pity that she's not the kind of person he imagined.

She's a fake Lily.

She said calmly, "Brielle Fergton—you should be familiar with the name, right?"

His face turned imperceptibly pale for a moment, and his gloomy dark eyes flashed with an offended light.

She pretended not to see his expression and continued to speak blandly, "Albus told me that she was the reason you joined the Order of the Phoenix. And I will—and am proficient—occlusion, so your secrets are safe with me. ...... Now, can you trust me?"

In the darkness, his lips seemed to twist, and finally asked, "...... What's the headmaster's order for tonight?"

She was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt a little funny.

Oh my God, what a mess this is. The battlefield that the Death Eaters had just ravaged was in shambles, and even he didn't look very good—she could tell from his pale face and slightly trembling body that he must not be having a good night either—maybe a Mind Drilling? Or was it the discomfort and disgust of having to kill with those crazy and bloodthirsty people, but having to do it?

She just wanted to gain his trust as soon as possible and get out of here. The Death Eaters weren't vegetarians, and if she knew that Snape had come to talk to a member of the Order of the Phoenix, she thought they were all in trouble. But his trust wasn't easy to come by, and she couldn't show her true colors yet—though she knew he would be persuaded by her Lily Evans face, no matter how much he hated her as a robber and thief who had stolen Lily's shell, but in that case, she would probably never get the answer she wanted.

That answer would have answered the question he had about joining the Order of the Phoenix for one person—James's wife, Harry's mother.

She sighed helplessly, and replied with a bit of a black line: "Everyone loves cockroach piles." ”

Snape paused.

Then he handed over something. Liu Quan received it in his hand, only to find that it was a parchment roll.

"These are those people...... Something to look for at Mr. Grantis's house. I couldn't save him, but I managed to find it before anyone else. ”

Liu Quan lowered his voice.

"Okay. I'll give it to Albus right away. She replied, then hesitated a little, but then added again.

"You should be careful, too. ”

Presumably at the receipt of her last remonstrance of concern, Snape was silent again.

...... Can't you just get used to the care and kindness of others, Severus?

For some reason, this thought made her feel a little amused for a moment, and a little sorry and pity.

"As long as I contact you in the future, I will be in charge of all the work. Only me and Albus inside the Order of the Phoenix know the fact that you're joining, so you can rest assured. She nodded at Snape, but in the darkness of the night, there was only a little fire in the distant street, and she didn't know if he saw it.

Snape snorted, as if to indicate that he understood.
