In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

"Snape has always left a way out for himself in the UK. When he was the vice-principal in the UK, he was connected with the potion shop in Knockturn Alley, using the pseudonym Prince. He specializes in supplying illegal potions to the store. At the same time, after long-term cooperation between the two parties and trust, he deposited a sum of money in the potion store and agreed that as long as he came to his store and said the name Prince, Then no matter who names the person, give him the money."

Lily knew all the memories of the owner of the potion shop, and could easily distinguish those related to Snape.

Jon was not surprised by this. It was normal for Snape to have a way out in the UK. If he had been in a high position for so many years and had nothing prepared for himself, then Jon would feel wrong.

"Then our clues are now broken?" Jon said, holding his chin.

Lily said calmly while clearing the memory of the horrified shop owner.

"No, after getting the money from this store, he used the fireplace to leave. Just ten minutes ago, we can still find his whereabouts."

Jon's face couldn't help but look a little strange. He couldn't help but think of the private conversation Dumbledore had with him before setting off, telling him that as long as he protected Lily, he didn't need to worry too much about Snape.

In this case, clues can still be left, and no matter how you look at it, it feels like it is deliberately tempting people to take the bait.

He blinked. Could it be that Lily was not aware of such problems at all?

"Professor Potter, wouldn't Snape guess that one of us has been tracking him?"

The expression on Lily's face was very calm, and her feet stopped moving, leading Jon towards the room at the back of the store.

"So what if this is a trap he set deliberately. As long as he doesn't dare to seek refuge with the master who abandoned him, we will be able to catch him sooner or later even if we follow the trap."

Her words were like stagnant water without any emotion, but Jon could hear the determination in them.

"Reopen the store door. The store owner will regain consciousness in two or three minutes. Don't let him have any unnecessary suspicions."

Jon turned around and opened the door of the potion shop again. There were only a few customers in Knockturn Alley. You couldn't see many people walking on the street, and there were even fewer people who could enter the store to make purchases, so unless you were unlucky. Extremely, otherwise Jon and the others wouldn't have to worry about anyone else entering the store and finding something wrong in the next few minutes.

Then, he followed Lily and came to the room behind the potion shop. There was a fireplace here. Although there were only some ashes left in the fireplace, through the temperature of the edge of the fireplace, he could still clearly feel the warmth that had just happened not long ago. Someone set it on fire.

After Lily confirmed that the fireplace was the one that had been used, she reached out and took out a handful of ashes, grinding them gently in her hand, and at the same time raised her wand and waved at the dust.

The next moment, the dust suddenly gathered again in the fireplace, and then a weak flame rekindled!

"Pinch some Floo powder and watch what I do. Don't recite the name of the place silently in your mind when you walk into the fire. It's best not to think about anything and empty your mind."

As she spoke, she sprinkled the Floo powder she held in her hands into the fireplace. The originally weak flames suddenly seemed to be doused with a bucket of oil. The green flames grew brighter, just when the flames were at their strongest. When the time came, she walked into the fire.

The flames enveloped her and disappeared into the fireplace.

Jon was left alone in front of the fireplace. He looked at the remaining green flames in the fire and silently put the Floo powder back. Instead, he lightly snapped his fingers. The next second, a burst of golden flames appeared. It lit up right in front of him!

Jon walked into the golden flames, and his figure disappeared into the fireplace. Then the entire fireplace seemed to have been cleaned by a cleaning spell. The residue of the ashes and the haze on the furnace wall were all swept away, and it became It has to be clean, and no one will find anything from the remaining traces here.

When Jon felt his feet touch the solid ground again, he felt a choking musty smell lingering around him that was constantly getting into his nose.

He pinched his nose, frowned, and waved the hand holding the wand around him. He didn't clean the ashes that were probably moldy for who knows how long, and he also saw the situation in front of him clearly.

Lily was holding the wand, looking ahead expressionlessly and without saying a word. At the point where her eyes were focused so far, there was a fireplace, and at this time, the fireplace was shining with green fire, and the flames formed a A human face with greasy hair.

I don't know if it was because it was impossible to see the original paleness of Snape's face under the green flames, but Jon actually felt that he had become very energetic now, and even the expression on his face was full of energy.

"I knew it was you. If you knew I had escaped, you would definitely come and catch me personally. You would never give such an excellent opportunity to others."

He looked at Lily without blinking, and his voice didn't sound very proud, but it seemed to be hiding a different kind of sarcasm.

Lily didn't seem to have any intention of looking at the image that Snape was sending through Floo powder. She held the wand and walked straight to Snape, who was made of flames. She reached into the fireplace and wanted to get out of the fireplace. Here we are trying to find any remaining ashes to determine Snape's current location.

In the end, she actually caught a handful of ashes.

Lily wanted to repeat the same trick. Although the fireplace in front of her was occupied by Snape, the fireplace when they came was still empty. But when she threw the ashes into the fireplace, there was no ashes this time. Rekindle the fire as before.

"Do you think I would be that stupid? This is a back-up that I prepared five years ago. I have always kept a door key here. As long as one day I need to disappear from this world, then I will use it to guarantee the rest of my life.”

Snape seemed to be sitting on some chair. He squinted at Lily. Lily also stopped her futile attempts and confirmed that the ashes were really just ordinary, moldy and useless dust that had been placed there. .

She caught Snape's gaze, and those eyes without any emotion finally filled with fire, the fire called hatred.

"Do you want to live the rest of your life in peace?" She said in a plain but clenched voice, "Why do you think you shouldn't pay the price for everything you have committed? Sifu Les Snape! Do you think this is over?"

Snape, who was in the flames, looked at Lily quietly, as if he was seriously looking at the expression on her face. Then he seemed to lean forward, and the face made of green flames was filled with fireplace.

"You also think that past hatred should not be forgotten, right? As a smart, fair and righteous witch, you also tell me, Lily Evans, what James and the others did to me in school. Things must not just pass like this, right? So my revenge is just, and I have never directed such anger to others, just like you, even if you choose him and become his other half , I also begged my master not to let him hurt you, I have done my best, is there anything wrong with this!"

Jon quietly found a small bench to sit down by the fireplace. Of course he couldn't get in the middle of the conversation, so he could just be a quiet member of the public.

Well, even with the eyes of a melon-eating crowd, Jon could actually see how unintentional Snape's ridicule and sarcasm was. He obviously said it deliberately, and what was the purpose of doing so, Jon We don’t know yet.

But of course Lily, as the person involved, couldn't see so many things. Snape obviously knew her far better than anyone else. A few words stirred up her already silent inner heart, no matter what. He stretched out his hand towards the fireplace, as if he wanted to catch Snape, who was made of flames.

"Then why did he kill my son! What did he do wrong? Why did he kill Harry! Tell me! When did my son offend you?"

Her hands passed through the flames, and there was no way to catch the phantom made of Floo powder. The green flames lingered around her hands, like something she had always wanted to catch but could never catch. .

Snape still looked at her with his head raised, not showing any signs of being affected by her mood swings at the moment.

"I did not kill your son, Mrs. Potter. If you want to put the blame for James' death on my head, of course I will happily accept it, but Harry Potter does not. My great The master went to your house like that. He couldn't just help me get revenge, could he? Harry was his purpose, and it was also the reward I provided him in exchange for your safety. Otherwise, why do you think you are still alive now? Talking to me here? So, remember what I said to you every time I see you? I am your benefactor, you should thank me."

Lily's face turned cold, as if she had restrained her outburst of emotions, and she looked at Snape coldly.

"Then why don't you meet me in person? Only when we are face to face can I truly thank you!"

Snape shook his head. He seemed to enjoy the way he was communicating with Lily.

"It's rare. It's rare to hear you talking to me like this. Don't you really want to find me? Then we can make a deal now. I'm going to ask you three questions. You have to make sure you are telling the truth. At the same time, I will also tell you my location information. Similarly, I also guarantee that this information is absolutely valid and not false at all, how about it?"

Jon, who was sitting aside watching the show, raised his eyebrows. He really didn't expect that Snape looked like a boring gourd when he was at Hogwarts Castle. He didn't make a sound for a long time, and now he is still... Could come up with such a deal.

Lily had completely calmed down, and she had returned to her original expressionless face. She had survived so many years, and now even if Snape's words aroused the still suppressed hatred, it would not be so easy. Losing your mind.

"What do you want to know?"

Snape just looked at her like this. From the moment Lily appeared in this room, his eyes never shifted, even if he noticed that Jon was there at the beginning.

"If I hadn't called you a 'mudblood' that time, would you have broken off our relationship with me?"

After hearing this question, Lily's face did not change at all, and there was even a sneer on the corner of her mouth.

"What do you think, Snape? It's been now, can you really still not think about why I broke off our relationship with you so resolutely? Just because of that insult? After all those things between you and your Slytherin Do you still remember what I told you when pure-blood classmates came together, began to explore dark magic, became interested in Voldemort's theories, and had contact with the notorious Death Eaters outside the school?"

Snape was silent.

Of course he will never forget what Lily said to him at that time. They were still friends and best friends at that time. She persuaded him to stay away from his classmates who had already had an affair with Voldemort, and asked him not to delve into those forbidden drugs and dark magic. .

But at that time, he didn't pay attention to these suggestions at all, or he was completely addicted to it. His achievements in black magic and the sense of identity he gained from interacting with purebloods made him unable to extricate himself, and these are what they have been doing since then. The key to parting ways.

Did Snape really not know the answers?

This question arose in Jon's mind while sitting aside, and he soon came up with the answer himself.

It's not that Snape couldn't figure it out, he just wanted to make a major excuse for all the misclassifications he had made. All his previous actions were actually putting gunpowder into a powder keg, and that Mudblood sentence was like this The trigger for everything.

So he had been deceiving himself all along, making himself think that his fault was only the words "Mudblood". As long as he had not cursed those words at the beginning, nothing else would have happened.

However, this was just his self-deception after all, and now Lily had revealed the lie he had used to deceive himself.

It was just Snape's silence that left Lily without any emotion or emotion. She had long since lost any other feelings toward Snape. After the night that destroyed her family, all that was left was blood feud!

"I answered the first question." She said coldly.

Snape also came to his senses and made his promise in an indifferent tone.

"Don't worry, I won't leave Britain, I will always be here. Neither Dumbledore nor my former master can drive me away from this place. If you want, then in Great Britain Find me on this island."
