[HP] Illusion

What is this all about?Lily glared at Harry, but her face was slightly hot, it's embarrassing, you know?The biggest problem is that Harry doesn't know what he's thinking recently. He just said something about the child's name a while ago, and now he's talking about it in front of her parents. Of course, he can't blame him entirely. Because it was first proposed by her mother, but is it really good to run on her like this?

But if she opened her mouth at this time, she might end up being attacked by her mother and Harry, and she was the only one who got the tragedy in the end.

Lily warned Harry not to talk nonsense with her eyes, Harry raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his complacent look seemed inexplicably childish.

Lily was angry, puffed her cheeks and walked towards Mrs. Evans, ignoring someone. At this time, Mrs. Evans was looking at the list in her hand, and began to modify the menu with a pen while muttering.

On the cooking table in the kitchen, all the prepared ingredients have been sorted properly. Because there are so many ingredients, it looks very spectacular at first glance. Harry made a slight deformation of the cooking table so that it has enough space to accommodate all the ingredients. .

Even if it's made with cooking spells, there's a kind of human ingenuity to it—it looks like the hand of a house-elf, rather than a young boy, anyway.If the Evans couple had the concept of house elves in their cognition.

"This looks really good," Mrs. Evans praised. "It's incredible that magic can handle them all in such a short time. It's really efficient." If it weren't for the fact that they had seen The ingredients that Harry piled up on the floor, they would think it was the finished product that Harry bought directly, not his own processing.

"This is indeed the benefit of magic, but if you are not proficient in them, you are likely to mess up everything." Harry glanced at Lily with ulterior motives, and the smile on his mouth could not help but smile, "Actually, I think the housekeeping spell is The requirement for the control of magic power is much higher than that of other magic power outputs... Ah, sorry, I know you don't understand, but I just want to say that if Lily can practice housekeeping spells well, it will be beneficial to her. She's good in her own right."

"Harry!" Lily shouted angrily, she couldn't understand whether Harry was joking or serious.

"This is my latest discovery, Lily. Recently, I have used cooking magic to stabilize and control my potion output. In fact, this has already produced a good effect," Harry pointed enthusiastically. In front of you are sliced ​​potatoes, and shredded cabbage and onions, "Look, these are the different effects of cutting magic. I use different angles and magic power output to make them have different sizes and lengths." Width, thickness and..." He picked up a handful of shredded cabbage and showed it to Lily, "You see, the average strength and stable magic power output make each of them look consistent in length and width, which is not an easy task things."

Mrs. Evans was already dizzy after hearing half of it, but she could tell that Harry was really teaching Lily, and little Snape also came in at some point, listening to Harry's teaching, "But When dealing with potion materials, I still recommend using special potion tools instead of using magic power, because magic power is likely to affect herbs with magic power. Because the vegetables and fruits we eat do not contain magic, so They are not affected by magic."

"Harry," Mrs. Evans heard Harry's speech finally come to an end, and interrupted weakly, "So we will now divide the work and cooperate, and your teaching will start again after we have finished all of these, Otherwise, we may be too late."

"Ah," Harry paused, and said embarrassingly, "It's my fault, an occupational disease."

"It doesn't matter," Mrs. Evans said with a smile, "Actually, I should thank you. We are the so-called Muggle family in your mouth. Before you appeared, we didn't know anything. It is also because you taught me so hard. My daughter made my daughter adapt so well in a world we never knew, thank you, I really don’t know how to thank you.”

Harry was getting more and more embarrassed by his grandmother's praise, and his face was getting hotter and hotter. "It should be. Lily is a very smart girl. Even if it wasn't for me, she would definitely do well in Hogwarts."

"you are too humble……"

If they keep praising their modesty like this, it is impossible for them to prepare all these ingredients well, and the time is actually getting late.

In fact, they still miscalculated the time. In the end, they decided to make the dessert that needed to be frozen first, and then took some ingredients to finish the dinner. The other Harry put a fresh-keeping spell on it, and continued tomorrow.And the next day was the day when Lily's OWLs certificate pre-order arrived.

After the Evans family left at night, Harry and Snape sat on the sofa and ate sweet fruit, chatting casually.

While talking, for some reason, Harry changed the topic to the exam results again. He looked at little Snape, and asked with interest, "So you're really not nervous about your grades?"

"You'd better have some exclusive inside information, otherwise you don't need to talk about it." Little Snape poked at the fruit on the plate with little interest, and seemed to have no intention of responding to Harry's inexplicable enthusiasm.

"The inside story?" Harry rubbed his chin, looking like he really knew something, but he said quite different words: "It's not like you don't know that I finished grading the exams of other ages and packed things up I’ll be back in the future, so I don’t have time to find out what’s inside, oh yes, your grades are issued by the Ministry of Magic, and Hogwarts has no room for meddling, so it’s impossible for me to know anything inside.”

Little Snape didn't want to talk to someone anymore, they always felt that the brain circuits of the two couldn't connect, especially when it came to this kind of problem that didn't seem to have much nutrition.

He had already finished the exam, and from the moment he handed in the test paper, the result was already doomed, no one would sneak into the Ministry of Magic to tamper with his grades, right?So he just waited for the results to come out, thinking too much now really didn't make much sense, but it would only increase his troubles.

"Some people say that if you don't care, you won't be nervous."

"That's true." Little Snape couldn't help agreeing, for this exam, he really didn't care much about his grades, and he felt good after the exam, so his grades wouldn't be too bad, he said It has long been determined, unless someone bribes the examiner to make all his grades fail, but such an exam is not necessary for the existence of the Ministry of Magic.

"That's only half true," said Harry, laughing. "It doesn't apply to people with smarter minds than most. When you know you've got it all, it doesn't matter at all." Need to be concerned and nervous.”

"Can we change the subject?" Little Snape really didn't have any interest in this topic, and didn't want to get entangled.In fact, he was really not nervous, because those few certificates really didn't prove anything, especially since he had already determined that he wanted to be a potion master.

"Well, let's go take a shower and go to bed first, won't the notice be sent early tomorrow morning?" Harry stood up, took the empty plate, empty teacup and kettle on the coffee table into the sink and turned on the faucet. The sound of splashing water filled the entire kitchen, and Harry waved his hand at Snape, "You go take a shower first, I'll be fine later."

Harry watched the back of little Snape leaving gracefully, sighed softly, and then turned his attention to the sink again.

Little Snape's psychological endurance is not so good. Even though Lily looks nervous when talking about this today, but little Snape is not at all... This seems to be different from the Snape in his memory and impression. It's a bit inconsistent, but yes, that Snape's memory is not as good as it is now, and the little Snape doesn't seem so lacking in self-confidence now. Apart from facial paralysis and a little reticence to the outside world, little Snape There is no big difference from ordinary boys. Anyway, when we are together, it is normal to communicate with him.

That should be a nice change, right?Harry took out the cleaned cups from the sink and put them on the rack to drain. He didn't go into the bedroom until all the cups and cutlery had been disposed of.

At this time, little Snape was taking a bath in the bathroom, the door was not closed, the boy was soaked in the water, with a towel on his forehead, he looked very comfortable, although Harry could rest these few days, he still It was because of the exhaustion of running around outside, and after processing so many ingredients when I came back, my body was already exhausted by this time.Anyway, little Snape certainly wouldn't mind him soaking in the tub too, so Harry didn't even ask, grabbed his clean clothes, stripped himself naked, and went straight into the water.

Little Snape felt the movement in the water, lowered his head and let his mind drop, the hot towel affected his vision a little bit, he waited for a long time, the vision was not so distorted, "All done?"

"Well," Harry took off his eyes, imitated Snape and put a towel on his face, and sighed comfortably, "How long have you washed, don't soak yourself for too long to wrinkle yourself gone."

Little Snape subconsciously raised his palm to look at it, then quickly put it down after realizing what he had done, and changed the subject: "Do you remember what you told Lily in the kitchen today? "

Harry nodded slightly, "Of course I remember, obviously this is my recent experience, I have taught you how to control your own magic power before, although the effect is not bad, but if you want to keep improving, you still have to use my The method, treating all the ingredients like using countless copying spells requires fine control, you and Lily can practice this, it will definitely help your magic power a lot."

"It seems to be quite effective, but are you sure it's not because you want to be lazy?"

Harry took the towel down, put his glasses on, and said after a while: "If you want to do what I ask, you will understand that there is no room for laziness at all, and there is no possibility of laziness at all. Your purpose is not to process ingredients, but to control your magic power, if you understand this, everything is not a problem."

"I'll practice hard," said little Snape, wringing out the towel a bit, pushing Harry in front of him to rub his back. "Where do we start first?"

"Don't be so impatient. You still have a lot of time in your summer vacation. Except for the preview and review and the time to deal with potions, you can use the rest of the unscheduled time to practice," Harry said with a smile, "I I know you should be quite dissatisfied with the loose arrangement of these study plans, right?"

Little Snape didn't speak, but he exerted a little more force on Harry's bony-looking back. After carefully wiping a few times, Little Snape grabbed another towel and stuffed it into Harry's back. hands.

In fact, Harry had already taken care of these things, and started rubbing Snape's back without any major reaction.He was about to speak, when he heard little Snape say coolly, "Don't talk about the test results, it will be sent tomorrow, I really don't worry at all." Little Snape didn't want to think about why Harry was only thinking about grades, no matter how you looked at it, it was this person's bad taste, and it seemed meaningless.

Harry: "..."

How did this man know that he didn't give up, but compared to this, what Harry was more worried about was that he might not be able to get up tomorrow morning, and missed the moment when the owl sent the grades.

"Will you wake me up tomorrow?"

After taking a shower, the two dried their hair and lay on the bed together. Harry asked worriedly, "I really want to get up earlier."

"I know." Little Snape said, "Actually, if you really want to get up, you can get up."

"you caught me."

Harry was not humble at all at this time, but the biggest problem was that he was able to get up, but it was really difficult. For example, he used to go to class, and he knew that he was actually unwilling to go to class. He just couldn't get up, there was one time when he had to get up, so he really got up, just like the time before little Snape's birthday, little Snape didn't even get up and he got up.

"Okay, go to bed, or you really won't be able to get up," said Snape angrily, "if you really don't want to miss my report card."

"Yeah." Harry yawned, and fell asleep without warning.

Little Snape didn't expect that he would really fall asleep so suddenly, so he had to swallow the words that had slipped to his lips. Whoever made him say that sentence so quickly, it's just his own fault.

They haven't had a good conversation for a long time, maybe after his report card arrives, after the party, they can talk about this issue?

☆☆☆

The next day.

Sure enough, Harry got up early, and looked refreshed, even better than little Snape.

At 09:30, Lily, the Evans couple and even Petunia knocked on Harry's door. At about ten o'clock, two owls rushed towards Harry's house and dropped Lily

Compared with Snape, who was so calm that he could barely see the fluctuations in his emotions, the nervousness of others was obvious.

It wasn't until the results of the two people were confirmed that the Evans family relaxed.

"Merlin, Sev, you are amazing," Harry looked at the row of "O"s on the report card, and happily hugged little Snape into his arms. Half of the boy's ears were a little reddish, and he looked Very happy, "No wonder you are really not nervous at all, Lily, how are you?"

Mr. Evans shook Harry's hand and almost started dancing, "Thank you so much, Lily would not have achieved such a good result without you."

During this battle, Harry thought that Lily had told the Evans and his wife about his sneaking into Hogwarts, "You guys are overrated, I just want to say that without Lily's own efforts, everything I taught would be nothing." In vain."

"Of course, of course, in fact, we really didn't expect Lily's grades to be so good." Mrs. Evans reluctantly handed Harry the report card in her hand, "Look, this is really very proud. West Where is Fleurs?"

Harry handed over Snape's report card to another round of exclamations.And Lily took more exams than Snape, only one got an E in the draft, and the others were O. The situation is a little bit similar to Hermione back then, but this has fully demonstrated her excellence, her Muggle Her parentage didn't make her any worse than the others, or even better than most.

Penny also gave Lily a hug, even though her complexion didn't look very good, she even whispered to Lily: "Congratulations."

Lily also gave Penny a strong hug, "Thank you."

"So we can start cooking up our party," said Mrs. Evans, elated but not carried away, "Harry, I went back yesterday and thought about our menu again, oh yes, I'm in I made some cookies at home, and I'll ask Lily to bring them later."

In fact, this is really their celebration party, because both Lily and Snape have got good grades that others can only dream of, which makes everyone excited and full of energy to make this party lively noisy.

Lily was responsible for inviting all the neighbors, and the others began to prepare their parties intensively.

This was an unprecedented grand party. The neighbors were not very familiar with Harry and Snape. The incident with Snape's parents half a year ago made them misunderstand Snape a little bit, but looking at the For the sake of the Evans family, they participated with great dignity, and in the end Harry even managed to get along with them, and many people finally realized that Harry is really a good person. neighbors.

After the party, the Evans family had wanted to stay and help clean up, but apparently Harry could do it all by himself, well, perhaps with Snape.

After everyone left, Harry quickly began to clear the battlefield. Fortunately, everyone is quite qualified, so although they have a lot of things and left a lot of garbage, they are not like other parties such as battlefields. It was a mess, and it was easier to clean up than they thought.

After they cleaned everything up, Harry and Snape went into the bathtub together again, and began to do the most relaxing thing of their day.

In the smoky bath, Harry was drowsy after a busy day, and Snape was thinking about what to say to him, because he was worried that Harry would leave soon, if Harry had to leave tomorrow Leaving... that's not good.

"Are you going out in a few days?"

"Well," Harry nodded, "how do you know?"

Little Snape almost rolled his eyes, "You've been out all this time, can't you really tell me what you're doing?"

"I'm making some preparations," Harry said vaguely, "I told you before that I'm going to set up a potions studio, and this will be my future direction of development."

"I can help too," said little Snape. "My potions are not bad."

"Of course I know that," Harry said with a smile, "but that's not what I have to prepare for. If I need you, I will definitely tell you."

Little Snape glanced at Harry, his face visibly gloomy.

— and didn’t tell the truth.

"Because I have to focus on my studies?" Little Snape asked.

"Yeah, you have to go to school in one month, and you can't help me too much then..." Harry said seriously, "It's better to study hard, what you can learn in the last two years Things will be more and more advanced than what you have learned in the first five years, and it is very personal, and I don't want you to be distracted."

"Is that so?" Little Snape said lightly.

"Of course it is." There was indeed no trace of joke in Harry's expression. "Life always comes out on its own. You make a choice and you have to bear the consequences. We can't always make the best choice, but we can't always make the best choice." Don’t let yourself regret the choices you made now in the future.”

Snape glanced at Harry and nodded silently.

"Then you're leaving then?"

Harry was silent for a while, but still said: "At least that's after you start school."

"What about the holidays?"

"Isn't this holiday still over?" Harry stretched out his hand to rub Snape's head, but felt extremely uncomfortable again, "Who knows what will happen in the future?"

who knows?Little Snape lowered his eyes.

"Did you lie just now?"

"What?" Harry picked out his ears, as if he really didn't understand clearly.

"I mean, did you lie to me just now?"

"No," Harry whispered, "I'm telling the truth."

Indeed, Harry struggled for a long time to come up with such a compromise.
