[HP] Return to original form

It was rare for Lucius Malfoy to sit leisurely in his magnificent living room, leaning comfortably on the sofa and closing his eyes to rest his mind. However, if Narcissa was around, one could tell from the frequency with which Lucius rubbed the snake-shaped cane that her husband was actually very serious. Anxious, but now she had taken Draco out to give her husband some private space.

Lucius looked up at the clock on the wall again—it was almost three o'clock, and he relaxed a little.When the pointer pointed to 3 o'clock on time, a tall man's figure suddenly appeared in the hall, and he said impatiently as soon as he stood still: "I hope you really have something important to tell me, instead of asking me to help you Make those shiny beauty potions." It was Snape who came, and he casually threw a gold-plated invitation on the low table as he spoke, Malfoy was gorgeous even with a one-time portkey.

Lucius stood up with a smile: "Oh, old friend, you are always so irritable. Maybe we need a quiet place to talk." He led Snape to his study.

"Lily Potter seems to be running to Hogwarts a lot lately. Have you made progress with her?" Lucius asked jokingly as he walked in the corridor. Watts' case.

Snape's face darkened: "I don't think you called me here to chat about such nonsense."

Seeing that Snape didn't admit it, Lucius didn't ask further: "I'm just concerned about the life of my old friend. Since your little lover disappeared, you have been upset for a long time. Now Lily has been rescued by Dumbledore Now, maybe you can try to cultivate the relationship between the two?" Lucius had done a lot of research on Snape in order to win him over, so he could naturally guess Snape's feelings for Lily.

Snape remained silent, not wanting to continue the subject.Lucius shrugged gracefully and led the way into the study.After confirming that the defensive spell was activated, he looked at Snape seriously. "Do you feel that the master has become different from before?"

Snape sat down on the sofa before he asked slowly, "What? Are you questioning the identity of the master?"

Lucius smirked: "From the attitudes of Lestrange and Crouch and the reaction of the Dark Mark, I know that person is definitely the master. But the master's arrangement is a bit unpredictable now."

"Oh?" Snape raised his eyebrows, "I think Master's strategy is very wise."

"After being friends for so many years, is it necessary to say such things that neither of us can believe?" Lucius picked up the black tea served by the house elf and tasted it slowly.

Snape sneered, but still answered seriously: "I thought these were all things we knew each other well. Secretly control the Ministry of Magic, change the tyrannical image of Death Eaters, gather the power of Muggleborn, These are the things that the previous owner disdained the most."

Lucius nodded in agreement: "It's such an easy way to change the concept of 'pure blood supremacy'. Thanks to Lestrange and Crouch, they can still follow the master without any grievances."

"Perhaps the master has finally learned to be devious?" Snape sarcastically said.Since Lily was killed, even though she still had some reverence and fear for the Dark Lord in her heart, it has gradually turned into deep dissatisfaction and resentment, and she can even speak sarcastically now.

Lucius pretended not to hear Snape's disrespectful tone, and continued to analyze: "Although the master's strategy is indeed enough to change the reputation of the Death Eaters, I wouldn't be so naive as to think that by giving benefits to those Muggles, I can get Our pure-blood status."

"No, he made this plan precisely to paralyze those Muggle-borns." Snape denied, "Actually, Muggle-borns are the best to buy now. Most of them live poorly but are easy to be satisfied. Their lives, they will be grateful to Dade, and naturally they will not think about overthrowing the nobles." He fell silent, and this idea was casually mentioned by Evan when he read the newspaper. will seriously consider this issue.

Lucius was amazed by Snape's insight, but couldn't help thinking about it: "So, the master has directly controlled ordinary wizards psychologically?" He has always been proud that only pure blood and nobles are worth befriending, Belittle ordinary wizards, and now the master's strategy and Snape's explanation of this made him suddenly realize that ordinary wizards were a powerful but very manageable force.From this point of view, the master now sees things from a wider angle, and pays attention to things that he despised before, and his scheming seems to have become deeper, but he doesn't know whether this change is good or not.

"Wait and see." Snape suggested rationally, "At present, it seems that the master's layout has not sacrificed our interests. Compared with before, it is a lot of improvement. I think as long as it does not touch our bottom line, it should not be too big. questionable."

Lucius didn't make a decision lightly. After all, he bears Malfoy's honor and responsibility, so he must be cautious in everything, and he doesn't want Draco to bear the adverse consequences of his hasty decision in the end.

Rejecting Lucius' invitation to share dinner, Snape went straight back to the cellar without stopping.

As soon as Snape opened the door, Snape drew out his wand vigilantly, wondering who would dare to intrude into the cellar. He searched cautiously, but unexpectedly found that Lily was sitting behind his desk and flipping through the potion papers handed in by the students. .Although he had told Lily the rules of the cellar password, he did not expect her to come, after all, she would only go to the headmaster's office every time she came to Hogwarts.

"Sev, you're back!" Lily greeted Snape happily, pretending she didn't see the wand that Snape was holding tightly in her hand, "It's really immature to look at the students' papers now, but the papers we wrote back then were not accepted by Snape." Professor Lughorn was so disgusted." She joked that Snape's comments on the paper were full of disgust and sarcasm.

Snape put away his wand and asked nonchalantly, "Have you eaten?" Even after so many years, Snape would still get nervous unconsciously when facing Lily, but fortunately, the few days he got along with Evan Years of experience let him know how to get along with her naturally.

"I'm waiting for you to come back!" Lily said with a smile, "I wonder if I can eat here? I really miss the taste of Hogwarts~"

Now that it was past meal time in the lobby, Snape simply used the teacher's privilege to summon the house-elf and let Lily order herself.

"Roast beef, lamb chops, sausages, boiled potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, treacle cakes, chocolate muffins, fried jam donuts..." Lily happily ordered many Hogwarts specialties, even the unpalatable pumpkin juice. Did not let go.

Snape frowned slightly. Hogwarts house elves always put too much sugar in the sweets. After trying it a few times unfortunately, he felt uncomfortable every time he saw it. Knowing this, Wen always prepares desserts with less sugar. He hasn't seen these sweet and greasy desserts on the table for a long time.However, he didn't say much, he arranged the table skillfully and invited Lily to sit down.

"I haven't seen you for so many years, I think you've grown quite a lot." Lily smiled and looked at Snape opposite, "You used to take care of yourself badly, and you didn't even bother to use napkins when you ate, but now you've become so proficient. The table is set."

Snape was stunned, and said dryly: "People will always improve." In the past, in order to gain a foothold in Slytherin, he basically spent all his time eagerly learning knowledge, so naturally he didn't care too much about eating. He was very particular, and during that time Lily met new friends and was very happy every day, so she didn’t pay attention to his situation at that time, but only occasionally greeted him when they met, and she would be called away by her friends before chatting a few words .Those days have passed, and now he doesn't need to specifically mention these past events with Lily.

"Yeah!" Lily couldn't help but sighed, "We haven't seen each other for five or six years, right? You don't even want to come when I get married. You clearly know that although we have had disagreements, I still treat you as my best friend."

"I don't think I can face your wedding with equanimity, especially with Potter," Snape said pointedly.

Lily laughed loudly: "I didn't expect that after so many years, you still hold grudges like this. I thought that after James in the sixth grade finally grew his brain and learned to control himself, you could get along peacefully."

Snape sneered: "Never overestimate Potter's IQ."

Lily sighed: "I wish James could stand here fighting with you now. Now I don't know what's the point of living alone."

Snape blurted out: "You still have me." He reacted immediately, and added annoyedly, "This friend, and your son."

"Yes, Harry, my poor Harry." Lily couldn't help crying, "I'm afraid to see him."

"Now that you're alive, you can take him back and raise him yourself," Snape suggested.

"No, I can't." Lily took the tissue from Snape and said in panic, "You also said that the mysterious man has been resurrected, how can I bring Harry back to face such a dangerous environment? The mysterious man He identified Harry as his opponent from the very beginning, and if I let Harry come back, he will definitely hurt Harry!"

After a moment of silence, Snape said firmly, "I will protect you."

"I believe in you, but no matter how protective you are, there will be omissions." Lily looked at Snape pleadingly, "Sev, can you help me? Dumbledore said that he intends to let me inherit the Order of the Phoenix and lead everyone to fight against Death Eater." I want to deal with the Mysterious Man, and bring Harry back when the situation is stable and there is no threat, and you, my friend, we can live a happy life together without danger. So, Sev, please, please Please help me deal with the mysterious man, okay?"

This seemed to be the first time Snape had looked at Lily head-on. Her face was more maternally soft than in her youth, her crimson hair hung loose behind her ears, and her almond-shaped green eyes had grown dark with tears. It was as clear as emerald, filled with pleading and tenderness, staring straight at him.

Snape felt that the emotions that had been condensed from the first meeting to the present overflowed his heart in an instant. He was indulging in the scenes of the past, and said softly in a trance: "As you wish."

The author has something to say: So Snape is going to help Lily fight against Evan~ Doesn't anyone think Lily is also very scheming?In a few words, he pinched Snape's weakness and fooled Snape into his own camp~

I hurriedly posted the article at noon, and when I looked back, I was very dissatisfied with the title and so on. I couldn't bear it, so I took the initiative to change some details...
