Everything that happened next, in hindsight, was like a nightmare. Of course, the final ending proves that this is actually a sweet dream. It's just that on the way to the end, all the tribulations are far more terrible than all the nightmares anyone can imagine.

On that day, Snape and Ginny, the real Lily, finally met face each other again under the high dome of Hogwarts Great Hall, but they were relatively silent.

By that time, Lily's cherished son, Harry Potter, had already set off for the Forbidden Forest. Before he left, he didn't see Ginny, what he thought was a good friend. In fact, on the way to the Forbidden Forest, he avoided meeting anyone he felt very close to. Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Luna, Weasleys...... None of them saw him again.

When Snape finally found Ginny Weasley in a corner of the Great Hall, the family was crying around Fred.

At first, Snape thought that one of the twins, who had always been troublemakers, was dead. It was only natural for him to crouch down to examine the trickster, and found that the trickster was badly wounded, his head looked like it was about to smash, and there was a terrible wound on the top of his head gurgling and bleeding, but Merlin blessed the boy with breath.

Snape quickly pulled a potion out of his pocket and poured it for him, then shouted to the other of the twins to get fresh food from a drawer in the headmaster's office as soon as possible, as much as possible.

But one of Hogwarts' famous troublemakers froze in place. The rest of the Weasleys froze. Snape was stunned for a moment, only to realize that they looked at him as if they had seen a ghost.

Why do you always have a tendon at the most critical moment!!) He thought with a little annoyance, until the eldest red-haired man in the family spoke.

"Ah...... Aberforth ...... "Arthur Weasley's voice sounded a little strange, and so did the expression on his chubby face, which was always smiling good-natured, as if he was struggling with something.

"You...... How do you know there's a potion in the Headmaster's room that can save Fred?"

Snape was slightly startled, and subconsciously looked down, only to realize that Aberforth's long, messy white hair that was scattered over his shoulders had begun to shorten and turn black.

…… The compound decoction is failing!

He was a little stunned, but he didn't feel nervous or defensive. If the fake Lily and Professor McGonagall were right, now that the family had joined the Order of the Phoenix, they should have known his true mission and purpose. Dumbledore and the fake Lily vouched for him with their reputations, clearing his reputation as traitors. He didn't have to worry that the Weasleys would now demand a duel with him because they found out he was pretending to be Aberforth Dumbledore.

The corners of his lips curled, and the familiar sneer returned to his face. He replied in a low voice, "As you see, Weasley." Because I'm the one who put all the potions out there. ”

Arthur was speechless by him, and his face turned blue and white, not knowing if it was because he discovered that this Death Eater they had been desperately resisting a few hours ago had suddenly become Fred's savior, or because he learned his true face as a double agent and unsung hero, and found out that they had all wrongly blamed him before.

Molly Weasley, on the other hand, seems to be much more flexible than her husband. As a mother, even the tiniest glimmer of life, she will not give up on catching it for her son. She urged the one of the twins who was still alive in a hurried tone: "George, go......! Do as your headmaster says. ”

George Weasley glanced at his mother in astonishment, and then subconsciously at the black-robed man who had completely changed back to his original appearance at this moment. His mind spun quickly, and he understood the meaning of his mother's words almost immediately, and immediately stood up, nodded at Snape, and turned and ran as fast as he could without saying a word.

When George Weasley had scooped up almost all the crystal bottles in the drawer and rushed back, Snape poured all the money on his brother's head as if he didn't need any money, and then pulled out a crystal bottle from the pile and poured it down to Fred Weasley. Perhaps it was because the potion worked wonders, or perhaps because the potion was so unpalatable, Fred almost immediately erupted into a violent cough and opened his eyes.

Amid the moans of the hapless boy who had opened the scoop and was bleeding but undoubtedly alive, Arthur Weasley grabbed Snape's right hand with gratitude and a hint of uneasiness and shook it so passionately that Snape's hand hurt.

Eventually, the rest of the Weasley family gathered around Fred, who had survived, and Snape and Ginny stood up and stepped aside to put a Ignore Charm in a corner, only to find that they had nothing to say at this point.

Harry hasn't heard from him yet. None of them were willing to prepare for the worst, but it looked like they had to.

The fake Lily and the Dark Lord's pet serpent were also missing. By this time, Snape had little hope of the impostor's survival.

They were silent for more than ten minutes, and finally Ginny said, "Seaver, I'm glad you finally chose to come back......"

Snape tugged at the corners of his lips. He had expected to see the real Lily again in seventeen years—even if she was only a soul and still living in someone else's body—that he would be very happy, that he would have many, many things to say to her that he could not have imagined, and that he would stand there excitedly just to find a shadow of the real Lily in the faces of others, as he had done seventeen years earlier when he had sat in front of Berriel Potter. But now that he had found her, he found that for a moment he could not remember anything, as if he had nothing to say to her, and he thought about it, and at last he could only think of one sentence.

"Lily, I'm glad you're alive. He repeated emphatically, "Really...... Be tickled pink. ”

Even Ginny, whose face was filled with uncertainty about Harry's fate, couldn't help but smile when she heard Snape's words. She nodded at him and said apologetically, "I should have told you earlier...... But I made an unbreakable curse with her that I could not tell anyone else this secret......"

She brought up the impostor, which made Snape breathe for a moment.

His suspicions were confirmed, and sure enough, it was the fake Lily who prevented the real Lily from telling him the truth!If it weren't for the unbreakable Witness Dumbledore, who had probably made a little more planning when he took the oath, and had given him the secret in advance without breaking the spell, then he would have to wait until this time to know that the real Lily had already returned! and he hadn't found out when she had returned, and hadn't noticed anything unusual beforehand—

But he found that he couldn't resent her any more because she had done something wrong. He guessed it might be because he hated her to the extreme, and couldn't go any deeper.

He replied dryly, "Oh, that's okay. ”

Perhaps trying to distract herself from catching up with her old friend so that she would not be so worried about her son's whereabouts, Ginny picked up the topic with a little overzeal, and continued, "So how did you know this secret?"

Snape twitched his big nose as if he had suddenly developed a pollen allergy. He replied a little impatiently, "...... It was Dumbledore who said it. The woman had mentioned this to me later—"

Ginny stared at him in surprise, "...... The person pretending to be me?!How did she suddenly want to tell you this secret?She kept trying to get me to rot this secret in my stomach! She even threatened ......."

Snape briefly interrupted her.

"I don't know why. But we'll probably never know her reason—"

Ginny was stunned for a moment, and a look of shock and disbelief gradually appeared on her face.

“…… Why?"

Snape interrupted her questioning abruptly, somewhat rudely. His voice was cold and stiff, his voice as if it were in his throat, and each pronunciation was surprisingly short.

"I guess it's because she's probably dead. ”

Ginny's expression couldn't have been more shocked.

"That...... The woman who pretended to be me, she died?!how could it?!!"

Snape felt that the topic was not so pleasant, and there seemed to be no need to continue, so he turned his face indifferently and looked at the rubble plaza outside the Great Hall.

Then he saw a black, oppressive crowd slowly appear in his field of vision. A bald man in a robe and without a nose walked in front. Behind him, the half-giant Hagrid sobbed his massive nose and seemed to cry with a man in his arms. The man looked like a rag doll, lifeless across Hagrid's arms.

Snape's heart sank. He immediately took a step forward, stared at the door, and unconsciously muttered, "...... Potter?!"

Ginny straightened up and followed his line of sight to the door. It didn't matter at this glance, she almost immediately let out a scream of great grief, and without wasting a second, she rushed out the door as if she were not going to die.

Arthur Weasley's stocky body was unusually agile at this time. He was even the first of all the people present to react to the bad news, and after only three seconds of slowness, he rushed out after his daughter—well, presumably his titular daughter—and grabbed Ginny in time before she could pounce on Hagrid or Voldemort, and held her firmly in place to prevent her from doing anything stupid.

Voldemort burst out laughing.
