Liu Quan launched several consecutive "clear water like springs", forming a dense water network around Snape, and then followed closely with a "legs frozen to death", forcing him to take a few steps back and use the defensive spell block.For a moment, it seemed that he was almost cornered by Liu Quan again, and Liu Quan only needed to throw a "all petrification" to end the battle; but Liu Quan didn't do that, but suddenly grinned triumphantly , waved the magic wand, and shouted: "Oolong comes out of the hole!"

A small black snake jumped out from the tip of Willow Spring's staff, and rushed towards Snape's face.Snape dodged half of his body in embarrassment, as if he was about to be defeated and unable to resist, but suddenly pointed at Liu Quan and shouted: "Disarm!"

Liu Quan was caught off guard, and the wand flew out of his hand with a whoosh.The little black snake also disappeared without a trace.Snape stood up straight, still looking tired, panting heavily.

Liu Quan opened his eyes wide in surprise, as if he couldn't believe it, he turned his head slowly and stared at the magic wand that was lying quietly on the ground.A few seconds later, she bit her lower lip, as if suddenly realizing that she had lost the duel so inexplicably, she slowly straightened her back, raised her chin, and said in a crisp voice: "...it's me Lost. I was too careless, I thought you had already lost, so I didn't have the disarming spell to guard against you..."

Snape narrowed his eyes slightly, obviously feeling a little surprised by the big reversal of the situation.His black eyes fell on Liu Quan's face, and after a while, he pursed his lips as if he saw something.

At this time, Professor Flitwick seemed to wake up from the sharp ending, hurried over, stood between the two of them, coughed and cleared his throat, and announced loudly: "In this case, the winner of this duel The one who is—Mr Snape!"

Liu Quan stood where he was, silently staring at his wand that was knocked away by Snape's disarming spell for a few seconds.Then, a peculiar smile appeared on the corner of her lips.She nodded sharply at Professor Flitwick, then turned to Snape.

"Congratulations, Sev, you won."

Although he was the winner, Snape's face was tense, and there was no joy or excitement after winning on his face.His dark eyes rested on her face for a moment, and then he narrowed his eyes slightly.

What happened next completely surprised Liu Quan and Professor Flitwick.

After Snape heard the little professor announce that he had won, his gloomy face was not much clearer.He nodded hastily to Professor Flitwick, then put away his wand, walked slowly to the side, bent down to pick up Liu Quan's wand that he had knocked into the air, and walked back to Liu Quan, hesitating for a moment, his upper body Leaning slightly, he bowed slightly to her like a perfect gentleman, and then held out his right hand to her - her wand lay in his palm.

Liu Quan heard the small professor on the side gasp in surprise, and exclaimed in an appreciative tone: "Oh! Mr. Snape, this is really an impressive and impeccable gentleman's demeanor..."

Liu Quan froze for a moment, but did not take Lily's willow wand immediately.

She looked up, casting a quick glance at Snape's pale face.There were still beads of sweat on his forehead, strands of greasy hair stuck to the top of his head, the wings of his big nose fluttered slightly, and he stared at her—or Lily Evans—with terrifying depths.

She couldn't read any emotion in his bottomless eyes, and this unpredictable feeling made her feel uneasy.

Realizing that the two people in the room were still waiting for her reaction, she smiled nervously at him, hesitated for a moment, and reached out to him, trying to take back the willow wand from his palm.

As a result, her slightly hot fingertips slightly touched his icy palm skin, and their hands trembled slightly almost at the same time.He looked more uncomfortable than she did, frowning slightly impatiently.So Liu Quan quickly took the wand from his palm and held it tightly in his hand, as if he could calm himself down again.

She moved her lips, said "Oh, thank you very much", and then fell into silence again, looking like a girl who really felt sorry and unwilling for her failure.

Professor Flitwick looked back and forth between them amusedly, and finally said, "I think we can tell the others. Mr. Snape won the duel, so, Miss Evans, I regret to say, Your wish to ask him to apologize may not—"

Snape said suddenly, "I apologize for my reckless and disrespectful remarks, Miss Evans. I am ashamed that my accusations against you are baseless and full of prejudiced malice. If I may , please allow me to take back what I said that day and offer my sincere apologies."

Liu Quan suddenly raised his head.There was a look of surprise on her face.

She couldn't believe what she heard. ...Even though he was apologizing to the real Lily, the one standing in front of him at this moment was her impostor.And there's no doubting how difficult it was to hear him apologize.

Professor Flitwick said excitedly: "Oh! This is really the best result, no one will be hurt or shamed by this result...Gryffindor's honor has been preserved, and Slytherin has not would repel a loser—Miss Evans, Mr. Snape, it was due to the efforts of both of you that this matter was settled satisfactorily, and I congratulate you for that. There is no loser in this duel—"

Liu Quan withdrew his wand, feeling amused and helpless at the little professor's eloquence.And Snape looked embarrassed, embarrassed, and a little annoyed by Professor Flitwick's sincere congratulations.He frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "...No, professor. Perhaps what you should really congratulate is Miss Evans' wisdom. She is the one who led all of this, and the disarming spell clearly..."

Liu Quan interrupted him just in time, and smiled nonchalantly at Professor Flitwick. "Professor, it's good of you to think so! Mr. Snape's mistake was not unforgivable. I heard his apology and accepted it because of his sincerity."

Professor Flitwick said cheerfully, "Oh, sure! Maybe we can go out and report this result to other people?"

Liu Quan glanced at Snape, followed Professor Flitwick out of the classroom.Professor Flitwick immediately went to the headmaster's office.And because the professors ordered Hogwarts students not to show up near the duel site today, intending to watch today's duel scene—probably because they were afraid that the little lion and the little snake would have their own supporters and would fight outside the duel field— — so the corridor outside the classroom is empty.

After finishing this tricky matter, the system bacteria also successfully reminded [Mission Complete], so Liu Quan wanted to go back to Gryffindor Tower immediately—since the system bacteria’s task completion prompt is equivalent to Snape and Lily's precarious friendship temporarily had a reason to act as a buffer to maintain it, and her nerves that had been tense since the incident began to relax.Now she just wants to lie down on the bed and sleep in the dark until she wakes up naturally, so that her blood will return to blue!

However, the low voice of a young boy from behind stopped her in her footsteps.

"Why did you lose to me on purpose, fake?"

Liu Quan paused for a moment, then slowly turned around.

Snape still looked gloomy and pale, standing in the empty corridor.Maybe it was because of being hit by James' "Fuchsia" spell that day and made a big embarrassment in front of her, he looked at her with a colder expression, and a sense of boredom.But now that feeling has been diluted a lot, because he had a somewhat unexpected victory in the duel just now.

Then, he was not surprised to see the impostor suddenly grinning.

"...you won, Severus." She waved her wand, cast a Silencing Charm, and replied with a piercing smile.

A surge of anger surged from the bottom of his heart.

"Do you look down on people?!...Or do you want to do something for that sinister, arrogant Potter to restore his irredeemable image? You don't have to make any compensation for him, and just take A duel victory to make up for me? Don't you think it's nothing at all?" He twisted the corners of his lips and sneered sarcastically.

"You've been very kind to him. This... Gryffindor friendship is so inexplicably and repulsively formed!"

Liu Quan was a little taken aback by the venom sprayed by the future Potions Professor. He paused for a moment before shaking his head with a smile.

"I don't look down on people. I don't think that James' mistakes should be remedied by me. I am not his elder, and I don't have to be responsible for whether he is crooked." She replied half-jokingly, "You won A duel is the best outcome. You get the victory, I get the apology, there is no more perfect result."

Snape: "...I'm really curious how you knew I was going to apologize."

Then he saw the impostor give one of his trademark sly grins—couldn't be more Slytherin!

"Oh," she said, "you have only defended and not attacked from the beginning of the duel—isn't that expressive enough? Severus, if your own words and deeds caused today's duel, then It is also your own words and deeds that you win."

She hooked the corner of her lips subtly, and her tone became meaningful.

"Gryffindor embarrassed you, and you beat Gryffindor in a duel - so even Slytherins won't have anything against you, Severus. As for Gryffindor... ..."

For some reason, she paused for a moment.

Then, those bright green eyes that belonged to Lily looked directly at him.There was a look in those green eyes that was different from the real Lily's eyes.If I have to describe it, the real Lily's eyes have a lively and warm light, like a real Gryffindor, burning with his own justice and enthusiasm to pursue the truth he believes; and this fake's The eyes are calm and magnanimous, like the vast green field that extends infinitely until it connects to the sky from the distant horizon, and there is a firm and unchangeable determination in the silence, to overcome all obstacles and go forward bravely for the road to the sky.

He froze for a moment.

Then he heard the impostor laugh softly.

"... Gryffindor and Slytherin are not really each other's enemies. I hope that someday in the future, everyone will understand this truth."
