Retracting his thoughts, Liu Quan raised his head and looked at the house in front of him.

Evans' house was quiet in the middle of the night, and the lights were out. But as she silently walked up the steps of the house with the mute spell, the little lamp on the porch suddenly lit up, casting a small circle of light in front of the door.

Liu Quan stood at the door, standing quietly for a moment, without opening the door and entering.

Although as a latecomer, she is an imposter who does not have a deep family affection for the real Lily's family as a basis, but from the time she got along as a teenager to the age of twenty-one, she still respected the Evans and Penny very much - their love for her was indeed not fake, and even Penny, who was once full of jealousy and resentment about her being able to enter Hogwarts and not being able to, has been much kinder to her in the past two years under her deliberate lowering of her figure to curry favor.

In this world she participates in, the two sisters, Penny and Lily, have not yet had sharp contradictions and misunderstandings to the point of breaking up. But over the past two years, the Death Eaters have become more and more diligent in their pursuit of innocent Muggles. As a backbone member of the Order of the Phoenix, she can't take risks.

She has to make sure that when she returns, she will be able to give the real Lily a complete family - although this luxury is not possible in the original books. But she still wants to do her part.

In the past two years, she has been estranged from her family and has not returned home for a long time, fearing that her status as a member of the Order of the Phoenix will set the Evans family on fire. Even when she came home to look at her house in the middle of the night, she rarely did.

Now, however, all these sacrifices and concessions have lost their meaning.

On Halloween night 1981, the crazy night of the original book, the Death Eaters provoked killings and battles all over London, leaving the Aurors and members of the Order of the Phoenix exhausted. While everyone's energy was too much to be consumed in the battle with the regular Death Eaters, the Mysterio went to Godric's Hollow. When he arrives in Godric's Hollow and goes on a killing spree, Sirith fights the Death Eaters elsewhere, and Willow Springs, who is Lily, fights the Death Eaters elsewhere......

On this unusual night, one of the most special nights in the original book, the wheels of all fate began to turn heavily. James is dead, Voldemort is gone, Harry is alive -

And the Evans family suffered a mysterious murder. The car carrying them suddenly lost control while speeding down the road, rolled several times on the road in a row and then exploded, killing the Evans couple in the crash, and Penny Evans was seriously injured and comatose and taken to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Before coming here tonight, Liu Quan had just visited Penny in the hospital as Penny's sister Lily, who was still unconscious.

...... So, things are getting off track ......?

Harry is no longer Lily's son, and Penny is now unconscious, and the Muggle doctor has warned Lily that Penny has suffered a massive brain shock and may remain in a vegetative state for a long time...... So will there be Mr. Vernon Dursley and Dudley Dursley in the future?

Liu Quan stood quietly in front of Evans's house, I don't know how long. The small lamp on the porch was also out of the time limit.

Willow Springs' jerk back—the action that caused the light to come back on—the wand in his sleeve had slid back into his right hand in an instant, pointing behind him like lightning.

Then, slowly, she lowered her hand and looked at the person behind her who had quietly arrived at some point.

Severus Snape, dressed in black and haggard, stood behind her. He stood on the gravel road leading to the door to Evans' house, a few steps away from her, and likewise raised his head slightly, looking up at the little dim lamp on the porch. The light cast a dark shadow over him.

Liu Quan looked at him, not knowing how to react for a while.

She froze for about a minute before she withdrew her wand into her sleeve, slowly descended the steps in front of the porch, and walked straight to his stand.

Not knowing whether to say things like "I already know that Beriel is the real Lily" or "I'm sorry", she just stared at Snape, who had been so haggard and gloomy since Halloween night.

But unlike the violent outburst she had expected, Snape spoke with the usual indifference.

"Are you standing here because you're sorry for the Evans family, impostor?"

Liu Quan was dumbfounded, opened his mouth, and was silent for a moment before responding: "I feel sad and regretful for all this that happened......"

"Don't say pretty things, impostor!" Snape's voice suddenly raised a little, interrupting her roughly.

"If you knew what you've done to Lily, to her family, to her son......" His words choked up, his throat constricted, and he made a sound like the screams of a trapped beast.

Willow Spring couldn't help but shrink slightly, all because of the great grief and indignation that flowed from Snape's short words—and then she replied calmly, "I'm sorry." If there was anything I could do to reverse this, I would gladly do it. But the author of all this tragedy is Voldemort—"

Snape gasped. His convulsions were so loud that Liu Quan swallowed back the following words.

After a few seconds of silence, Snape's face distorted slightly.

"I'm assuming you're not trying to pass the buck—" he said through gritted teeth.

Liu Quan shook his head quietly.

"I'm almost as miserable as you in this matter, Severus. She said.

Snape's body jerked, as if he had been hit by something.

He was silent for a moment, then changed the subject without warning.

"Dumbledore won't tell me what he's going to do with Lily's son—" he said viciously.

Liu Quan thought for a moment and replied, "...... I think he just wants to tell you when your emotions calm down. After all, he didn't tell us not to tell you Harry's whereabouts. ”

After a pause, she continued, "I've heard that Albus will leave Harry in the care of his uncle Payne. Although Payne is a Squib who lives in the Muggle world, maybe it would be better for Harry to stay in the Muggle world......"

There was a gloom in Snape's eyes, a mixture of incomprehension and irritation, and it flashed.

"What if...... If he were the boy in the prophecy," he said, after a moment of silence, in a very harsh tone with a hint of acerbity. "Hell Dumbledore ignoring his importance and not planning to raise him himself. ”

Liu Quan felt that any expression on his face at this moment was very superfluous, so he had to hang his head and say dryly: "Albus will not decide like this for no reason......

"You also think this strange decision is the best for that child?" Snape interrupted her, asking sarcastically.

Willow Springs: He wasn't sure if he should tell Snape about the secret about "blood magic" or something. In the end, she decided that she should ask Dumbledore first. She reluctantly replied, "I don't know if this decision is best for Harry...... All I can say is that I believe this decision is the most important thing to make. Albus won't ......"

She was interrupted by Snape again. His face was pale, and there was a hint of ridicule and contempt in his expression.

"Ha, of course, that's what you crazy Gryffindors call 'for the greatest good'...... I understand. You're all crazy people who don't care about anything other than the so-called 'greatest good'! That's why James Potter refuses to make Dumbledore his secret and uses him and his ...... The lives of the family to risk ......"

Liu Quan couldn't help but sigh.

The conversation slipped so quickly into extreme speculation and angry personal attacks that she was caught off guard.

She now knew that even with the same face as Lily, he still loved the soul under that face. This soul he loved could only be Lily's, and no one else. No matter how hard she tried to gain his most basic trust, friendship, and cooperation, she couldn't.

“...... Lily is also a Gryffindor, Severus. She reminded in a low voice, "Lily is a great Gryffindor. Now we should think about how to take good care of her children and not make her choices seem meaningless—"

Snape suddenly let out a sneer and curled his lips.

“...... Pointless. Yes. He nodded and said, "I think my credulity in you seems meaningless now—I chose to tolerate you for the time being because I believed that you seemed to be sincere in saying that you could save Lily!!And now?!Why are you still standing here, and Lily, the real Lily, is dead, gone, and ......will never be seen again?!"

His coda was gone. His dark eyes glittered with water, and there was real pain in his expression. He turned his face abruptly, and said in a short, low voice, "...... Dumbledore asked me to come to you. He said that if you were willing to cooperate with me, you would always help me find a wonderful way to get me away with it—but I don't think it matters much to get me away right now. Looks like I'm here by mistake tonight...... I shouldn't have listened to your Gryffindors!"

Liu Quan was stunned.

Work with him...... How can he get him acquitted?!Can he prove in court that he is an undercover agent for the Order of the Phoenix?But can't Dumbledore do it himself?So why did Dumbledore ask her to help?Is there anything that only she can do?......

Suddenly, a light flashed in her mind.

Seeing that Snape had already turned away, as if intending to apparition out of here, she hurried forward, dragging his left arm in a split second before his apparition.

"Wait! Severus—"

His body trembled for a moment, and he turned his head to stare at her with anger on his face, and then forcefully pulled his left arm out of her hand, and asked coldly, "Are you still okay?"

I have to say that his unprecedented angry eyes stung her, but she didn't think much about it, and said quickly: "I just have a little ...... Suggest. I also know that you are in a very disadvantageous position right now...... Although Albus is willing to testify on your behalf, there are still many people who see you as a ...... Seen as ......"

"You don't have to worry about that, you don't have to mind. He interrupted her simply, "I don't care what people think of me." ”

"But...... But I care!" she blurted out, in exchange for a cold glance at her, with a hint of "why are you still so naïve?" in her eyes.

She didn't think about it, and said to him angrily, "I suppose that Albus has hinted that I can help you...... He must have felt that testifying alone might not be enough, then. Uh, that ...... Maybe the previous ...... Uh, 'engaged', that's a good idea. ”

He raised an eyebrow in surprise, then laughed slowly, an expression that suddenly reminded her of the Potions professor in the movie she had seen before. Like a venomous snake, it slowly raised its body and stared at the unfortunate prey in front of it, as if it would pounce on it in the next second, and poison these prey with its head full of straw with its venom.

"Oh?" he scrawled, glancing her up and down rudely, "I didn't know you had been expecting that ridiculous idea." I'm sorry to disappoint you. I don't mean to ...... though."

She shook her head, quickly stopping him from his caustic words, "Be sensible, Severus." You know, to make such an announcement at such a moment, to marry a wife from Gryffindor, may have a great positive effect on your image! it will make your innocence look more convincing...... I don't want to bother you, and I don't want to force you to do things you don't want to do, but ...... But...... I want you to know that I just want to help you......"

He curled his lips, and the malice in his expression seemed clearer. He tilted his head slightly, staring at her—or rather, Lily Evans—in her face, as if a myriad of complex emotions were rolling through her eyes in an instant, making it all the more incomprehensible.

For a moment he seemed to want to say something, perhaps for the sake of the Lily face she was on, and to persuade her to dispel this ridiculous thought, but in the end he only pouted coldly, and said simply, "Thank you." But I don't think I need your help to clear my mind on this issue. You should know it's over, not just the things that have to do with that person-"

He suddenly leaned over to her, close to her. His breath blew on her face, a little cold.

Because of the sudden sourness in her eyes, she had to blink.

"It's everything, everything. His voice was low and silky, and he whispered the words before her eyes.

“everything。 ”

everything。 When she heard the word come out of his thin lips, she suddenly remembered the scene in the original book when he begged Dumbledore to save Lily. At that time, for the sake of the real Lily Evans, he told the old wizard in front of him that if Dumbledore could help him keep Lily safe, then he would do anything.

anything。 He said.

Instead of saying to Lily Evans, who had survived Voldemort's attack and was still standing alive in front of him, as she is now, said: It's all over.

everything。

Then, he turned away, and without pause, he directly apparitioned. He didn't even bother to say a hypocritical goodbye to her.

She stood there dumbfounded, watching his black-robed tumbling back suddenly disappear from the air, and after a long time, she sighed softly.

“...... I don't think it's a good idea," she said softly.

"But Albus and I want to help you. So as long as there is a little hope, we are willing to try...... Because only the two of us in this world know that you are a good person. We want to prove it in any way we can......"

All. everything。
