From the very beginning of the school year – or rather, while still in the middle of the holidays – it was as if it set the tone for the rest of the year: madness, chaos, disorder, the rebirth of evil, and the limits of good...... So much so that at the Sorting Ceremony, the old hat chattered at length, warning that Hogwarts was in danger and in danger of internal division.

The weather is getting colder and colder. Harry faced controversy and isolation at school. Seamus stopped talking to him, and Lavender believed Harry to be a famous, alarmist liar. His head was aching more and more, every day. Lady Umbridge, who was sent by the Ministry of Magic to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts this year, seems intent on torturing him with all sorts of torture. Just halfway through the semester, he felt as if he had copied the "I can't lie" for a lifetime.

Eventually, this terrible state reached its peak when Dumbledore assigned Snape to teach Harry Occlumency.

Snape looked more irritable than usual every day, and so did Harry. The private lesson was a complete disaster, but thanks to Dumbledore's orders, neither of them could escape the torment of having to work together.

Then, there was the news that ten Death Eaters had escaped from Azkaban. Harry felt that whenever he thought things couldn't get any worse, he would wake up next morning and see them get a little bit worse.

Of course, this is almost similar to Liu Quan's feelings.

Since Umbridge was stationed at Hogwarts on behalf of the Ministry of Magic, the "pink clam/toad" in the students' mouth has not been a day long. In order to maintain order and stability at Hogwarts, Dumbledore also had to repeatedly keep a low profile and back down. But in the end, what did he get for his forbearance? The Ministry of Magic, Fudge, and Umbridge were all in the way! The Da army that Harry had formed was discovered! Dumbledore took all the responsibility himself, and was forced to leave the place in order to keep Harry at Hogwarts, giving up his position as Headmaster of Hogwarts!!

This sucks.

The atmosphere in Hogwarts Castle couldn't have been more oppressive. An extra day in such a place is a torture. And as Lily Evans, who was labeled "Dumbledore's right-hand man" from beginning to end, Willow Springs was placed under closer surveillance. She had no doubt that Umbridge was racking her brains to concoct her accusations in order to get her out of Hogwarts as well.

In this case, she had to be more cautious in her words and deeds, and make a posture of seclusion, except for teaching, when she was nested in her office, and really had to travel-

She used Snape to cover for herself.

Severus Snape felt that the imposter was refreshing the lower limits of his perception of her every day.

While Umbridge was desperately trying to dig up her dark history in order to make up charges against the fake Lilily so that she could get her out of Hogwarts, her role as Fudge's confidant at the Ministry of Magic provided her with great convenience in digging through the piles of old papers and old files.

Of course, the news that he and this fake Lily were "engaged" back then was also dug up by Umbridge. While the nasty pink clam/toad giggled around them like it had dug into a gem mine, trying to stir up a conversation to find a flaw, there was nothing to argue with, and too much of it only made Umbridge even more excited—she had even recklessly asked him about the details of the engagement! Merlin was on top of him, and at that moment he didn't know how much self-control he had used to pull out his wand and give him an Arvada!

...... However, the impostor's way of dealing with it was much more unbelievable than normal people—and much more unhurried than he was.

From the first time Umbridge was confronted about her engagement, she had dealt with the nervousness and confusion that she had at the beginning of the surprise when asked an embarrassing question, smiling and nodding her head to admit that it was true, then diverting from the subject in the face of some embarrassing details, occasionally throwing out some plausible answers before completely angering Umbridge...... He even suspected that the imposter was having a bit of fun now, using it to tease Umbridge's pink idiot!

And, ever since Umbridge deliberately spread the word, the impostor has automatically developed a new use for this piece of black history—

Knock knock knock. Someone was knocking rudely on the door.

Snape glanced at the wooden door of his office with annoyance, and then turned his gaze back to the imposter who was sitting in his office, about to put on a good show, and squeezing his eyes at him and making the gesture "Go open the door", thinking that Dumbledore's walk was chic, but poor himself was really annoyed.

He had to temporarily put down the precious ancient potions book in his hand, and stood up to open the door.

Sure enough, Umbridge stood outside the door.

She asked him in a wry voice, "Professor Snape, did you see Professor Evans?

Snape snorted impatiently, wishing to make a gap for her to take a good look at who the man who was occupying the couch in his office and secretly using his fireplace to communicate with the annoying big black dog.

He thought so, and he did it.

He turned slightly to the side and said nothing, just stared indifferently at Umbridge, who was chattering as if he had caught a good grip.

...... After a dozen seconds, he noticed that the pink clam/toad was like a hen that had been stuck in the neck, and his voice stopped abruptly, and his eyes were round and almost bulging, staring at a certain point behind him.

This expression was so pleasant that he couldn't help but have a subtle curiosity, and turned his face slightly to look at the end of Umbridge's line of sight—

Then, he almost wanted to give that imposter an Arvada right away!

The impostor had quickly taken off his coat and put it on the armrest of the sofa within a minute, and was now wearing a light and well-fitting casual dress, and had moved to the side of his desk, and was still half-sitting on the edge of the table, leaning on his chair with one leg casually—

It was as if she was harassing that pink idiot so close to him a second before she knocked on the door!

Umbridge's voice immediately rose more than an octave and almost broke.

"What's going on here?!Professor Evans?!Can you explain all this!?"

Then the impostor sighed heartily, stood up from his table, and with a look of displeasure and helplessness, walked slowly to the door, and stopped beside him.

"As you can see, Professor Umbridge, we're just ...... Up. ”

A fluttering sentence was thrown out, and the other two people present were almost about to explode.

A terrifying aura suddenly emanated from Snape's body. His eyes narrowed slowly, and his lips twisted. Before he could speak, however, Umbridge, who seemed to be in great shock—and displeasure at having his wishful thinking broken—spoke first.

"You...... You can't ...... You don't have the right to ......" probably didn't expect to actually see the Muggle Studies professor in the Potions Office, and she had been trying to "catch the Gryffindor who was blindly convinced of Dumbledore and would faithfully carry out his orders even if Dumbledore wasn't here", but the reality before her completely ruined her original assumptions, and Umbridge stammered a few words before suddenly going berserk.

"You...... You're doing something dangerous, Professor Evans!Don't try to fool me!Fool the Ministry of Magic!!" she exclaimed, "What are you trying to do with your colleagues? The Ministry of Magic sent me to Hogwarts to catch someone as cunning and ulterior as you ......"

Listening to her yelling in front of her, the fake Lily burst out laughing.

"Why should I take advantage of my colleagues?" her voice was soft, calm, with a hint of defiance.

"Severus and I were good friends even before we became colleagues. ”

"Friends, on the other hand, don't take advantage of each other. ...... But, Professor Umbridge, you don't understand that, do you?"

Umbridge choked, so angry that her face was deformed. She raised her voice angrily, "...... I—I've heard rumors that you two are going to—"

Snapp cut her off. His eyes were gloomy as he stared at Umbridge, as if he were going to make Arvada if she were going to mention the rumor again.

"As someone who has been given a high position in the Ministry of Magic, you won't be easily fooled by frivolous rumors, Professor Umbridge. His silky cello-like voice spoke in a low voice, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, but his expression remained motionless and there was no clue to it.

...... Umbridge was finally driven away by their team.

After this repeated three or four times, Umbridge was no longer obsessed with constantly monitoring the Muggle Studies professor's office on the eighth floor after curfew.

So the Muggle Studies professor finally took a new action at such a moment - she left the Potions Office to do something for Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix in the middle of the night, and then went back to the Potions Office without knowing it, and walked out of there in the open, back to the eighth floor.

Snape thought the imposter had spoken so eloquently that day, saying that "friends don't take advantage of each other", all sugar-coated gibberish - lo and behold, isn't she using the dark history between them and the rumors that have sprung up therefrom to create some kind of ...... Is it impossible for him to even openly deny the illusion of going in and out of Hogwarts in a big way, doing something for Dumbledore that he wouldn't even tell him?!

They Gryffindors always seem to be like this. For the sake of the final victory, for the sake of those who are so great that they simply do not seem to be true...... Anything can be sacrificed, nothing matters, does it?

In the end, Snape seemed to have acquiesced to the fact that Willow Springs, who was a fake Lily, could use his office when necessary - whether it was using "catching up" as a reason to cover up what she was about to do away from Hogwarts, or hiding in Umbridge's relatively lax Potions office and doing some other work for Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix...... In short, with a look of coldness and disgust, he temporarily tolerated her frequent appearance.

Another night, Willow Springs was in the Potions office, and in the rare absence of any mission with the Order of the Phoenix, in gratitude for Snape's cooperation, he had to go to the Death Eater meeting tonight to make some potions that he didn't have time to complete, when suddenly a green flame rose in the fireplace.

Willow Springs looked at the fireplace in surprise, only to find Snape walking out of it—no, rushing out!

He always maintains his calm elegance as a Slytherin when using the fireplace. Liu Quan still remembers the first time he used the fireplace after coming to this world, when he landed and did not stand still, he rolled out of the fireplace in embarrassment, and his head and body were still covered with the uncleaned dust from the fireplace, as if he had just rolled in the ash heap.

But Snape always stepped out of the fireplace and stood firm, as if the journey through the fireplace wasn't so terrible and bumpy. Maybe that's the difference between a real wizard and a wizard who has been transformed from an ordinary person.

But tonight's appearance was so unusual. He slammed out of the fireplace, as if he had rushed straight out of the fireplace, and he didn't stop, and ran forward a few steps until he stood still at Willow Spring's table, and before Willow Quan could react, he suddenly leaned down, his hands on her desk top, and stared at her anxiously and gloomily. His black robe rolled behind him with his footsteps, forming a dark cloud.

"Where did Harry Potter go?"

Liu Quan was stunned. "I don't know ......"

"He's gone to the Ministry of Magic, Department of Mysteries!" Snape snarled, looking annoyed. "A group of Gryffindors sneaked out of Hogwarts, and no one here knows?!

Liu Quan was speechless. She didn't know what to say. For a pre-time traveler about these plots—especially this book, Willow Springs, who he didn't read at all because he hated Umbridge too much, but occasionally swept a few pieces of the movie in some plot clips such as "Harry Potter Memorabiliabilia" on TV— For those who don't know, Umbridge has become addicted to punishing students for excuses this school year, and because she didn't dare to interfere too much with the original plot direction, she only helped once or twice when she was really forced to do so, and now Snape came to blame her for not doing her best to protect the students, she felt a little wronged, and a little weak-hearted, and for a while she just lowered her head and was silent.

Snape didn't wait for her to respond, and yelled at her angrily, "Don't you know what that Potter was up to?...... He said to me, 'That man' grabbed the big foot!"

Liu Quan suddenly stood up! Because she stood up so quickly, she even knocked down the chair behind her. The wide, comfortable seat fell to the floor with a dull thud of toms.

"Harry said the man caught Siris?!," she repeated Snape's words in shock.

Snape stared at her indifferently, and after a few seconds, his lips suddenly curled up and he sneered sarcastically.

"He said, 'He grabbed the big foot where it was hidden.'" I don't know what you Gryffindor code words mean. "I guess he's counting on me, the wicked Slytherin, to understand you self-proclaimed Gryffindors." So I had to rush to find someone who could understand what he was saying. ”

Liu Quan finally remembered this part of the plot.

The Ministry of Magic, the Department of Mysteries, the mysterious orbs of prophecy! and the mysterious curtains that lead to the back!

Siris!
