HP: By the lake of Snake Garden, flowers bloom on the other side

study.

Orange light, comfortable temperature due to magic, favorite books and reading posture.

Everything is beautiful, too beautiful to be true.

I am unconditionally favored by my father.

He was willing to give up tutoring his friend's son because it was not safe to be alone, even though their family was now rich and powerful.

Lycoris knew that her father and Lucius Malfoy were not only seniors who had known each other since school, but also friends for many years, and they were both Voldemort's subordinates.

Allies are born with close ties.

"What's that expression on your face?" Snape looked at his goddaughter and sat on the couch next to her. "What do you want to say to me?"

Her expression seemed to speak a thousand words, and Snape took the initiative to speak.

"Father, I'm fine." She almost blurted out everything. Licoris took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions.

"Your surname is Snape, why?" Severus Snape asked softly, feeling that this was important.

Snape is an extremely common Muggle surname. Just because it is you who bears this surname, it means something different to me.

"Because the first thing I think of is you, father." Licoris said.

Severus Snape's eyes narrowed, this sentence had too many meanings.

She was thinking of herself.

She grew up in an orphanage.

She wasn't named after the swaddle she was wrapped in, or the director of the orphanage, or even a good Samaritan.

She named herself after my last name.

Snape had mixed feelings. Unbeknownst to him, someone was using his last name.

When I went to pick her up from the orphanage that day, it was the first time I saw her.

her name……

It’s about yourself.

How could she possibly know herself?

Yes, she knows the future.

Snape was very happy thinking about the time she told him about Potter's future.

A little girl who has known the future since she was a child uses my last name. She already knew about me?

Is she from the era of Potter descendants?

Seeing her father's thoughtful look, Licoris shook her head, "It's not what you think, Father."

"I know you, just because I know you, not because of anything else."

I know you not because I am from the future.

I am from China, and I know you from a series of books and a series of movies.

Who doesn’t know Severus Snape, the double agent who said “always been”?

"I didn't know I would meet you. I didn't even think I would go to Hogwarts."

I thought I just shrunk my body and inexplicably traveled through time to become an ordinary NPC.

Licoris thought that she had never had any magic riots in the orphanage.

She always thought that when the protagonist started the main mission, she would play a role in a romantic drama in a corrupt country, or become a victim in a criminal investigation drama.

Lycoris stood up and stood in front of Snape.

The two people looked at each other, and Licoris said, "I know your fate, and I know the fate of everyone. At the beginning, I had no intention of changing it. Because no matter whether your fate is good or bad, it is You chose it willingly.”

"My appearance is a variable other than fate. I am worried that my existence will change the future, and I try not to change anything.

"I found that I couldn't do it. I had selfish motives and desires. I couldn't give up my desires, so I got involved.

"But it's different now. You are my father and my family. I want to change and change your destiny." Li Keli did not back down at all, her eyes were bright, "Even if it is the same as the future, I will change it for you. "

"anything else?"

The atmosphere is just right at this time, suitable for father and daughter to have a heart-to-heart talk.

"And," Licoris smiled in relief, "Of course there are, there are many more."

"I called you 'Snape' on purpose."

When Lycoris thought about it afterwards, she felt that she was crazy at this moment.

On purpose?

Snape thought that she just couldn't adapt to calling herself "Professor" at that time. After all, she grew up as a Muggle. Thinking that he would be assimilated after going to Hogwarts, he did not correct the child on the spot. I briefly thought about why she knew his last name but didn't care.

"You should have taken over many children, right? I just want to be the most special. You mentioned that you are my professor, I should have changed my name to you 'Professor'." Licoris smiled, "Maybe there have never been new students. Called you Snape?"

"You are the first child I have picked up. Things like picking up children are all the business of Dean Dumbledore, Deputy Headmistress McGonagall and Hagrid." Snape didn't even know what she was thinking at that time. So many, "It's true that no one calls me Snape, they're all professors and deans."

"It seems you still remember me." Licoris continued, "I also asked you to borrow money."

"Yeah." Snape also remembered what happened that day.

"Does my father think I'm vain?" The girl smiled bitterly, "I'm obviously an orphan, but I still want new clothes, new books, and new teaching tools?"

"No, everyone's personality is different due to their growth experience. There is no need to be harsh." Snape knew that it was rare for his daughter to open her heart and comforted her, "When I was a child, I used my mother's old things. I know what will happen when I use old things. .”

Snape thought about his eleven-year-old self, who grew up in that kind of situation and became withdrawn and unpleasant. After entering school, he studied black magic in order to become stronger, and his reliance on black magic became the reason for being punished.

"I thought I would go to Hufflepuff, Hufflepuff is very compatible.

"It turned out that I saw something on the Hogwarts train that I had been deliberately ignoring, that there is class in the wizarding world.

"I changed my mind and wanted to go to Slytherin, but the Sorting Hat didn't seem to be willing. It recommended that I go to Hufflepuff Ravenclaw, but I didn't want to. I made a firm choice, but I didn't expect it to succeed. In fact, I just gave it a try, I never thought about actually being assigned to Slytherin." Lycoris shook her head in surprise, "I always thought that Slytherin only accepts pure-blood wizards and mixed-blood wizards, not Muggle wizards."

She might not be a Muggle wizard, but her parents didn't know who she was, Snape speculated.

"You are Slytherin now, you are my daughter now, then you are a half-blood wizard."

"Thank you, father," Lycoris's voice was no longer heavy and her tone was rising, "I used your surname of 'Snape' to become your relative, as you know."

The girl's tone was affirmative, and Snape nodded.

"That's just your way of protecting yourself in Slytherin," Snape said. "I learned dark magic as a way of protecting myself."

He did know and didn't clarify.

He knew how difficult the road he had to go back then was. Nowadays, a child is about to walk again. Giving her a convenience is also an umbrella for her former self.

If someone had helped me back then...

Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs.

Licoris said everything she could except hiding the fact that she traveled from China.

A child who lives a happy life should be like Draco Malfoy, and she has a shadow of her former self.

"You had a hard time before, right?"
