As Lily, Willow pretends not to know that Snape joined the Order of the Phoenix.

Snape didn't seem to want to tell her for the time being—maybe because he didn't know how to speak.

Liu Quan also secretly kept an eye on Beryl, especially when he was working together in the Order of the Phoenix.But she got nothing - Beryl looked the same as before, except that she was always a little unnatural when facing her, a woman with the title of "Goddess Her Husband Was Crazy Before", and she didn't go any further abnormal performance.

As for Snape, she knew that if he didn't want to say something, no one could learn anything from him even if he used Cruciatus or Legilimency.

So she had to change course.

Bigonia secretly came to Spider's End Alley again that day.This time her task was to fetch some rare potions of good quality for the Order of the Phoenix--very simple task, and the location was private enough for small talk, wasn't it?

Snape opened the door for her without saying a word, and went back to the underground potion laboratory, buried his head as if intending to finish the potion he was making.

As a Potions Master who has just begun to emerge, he does not lack financial resources - there are even rumors that Lucius Malfoy appreciates his talent very much, and privately sponsored him as a Slytherin senior , said to "sponsor all potion research activities of Severus".However, this statement has not been confirmed by either party.

As Lily, she hadn't heard Snape confirm the news either.And as Bigonia, it is even more impossible for them to talk about this kind of topic.

But recently, she could feel some subtle changes from Snape, such as [Because I have more contacts and I have shown a trustworthy character, so the other party seems to be less wary of me].

With a glance, she noticed that some potion seemed to be boiling in the two cauldrons at the other end of the long table.She walked over and looked at it, and found that it was a very common palliative.

Although in the class at Hogwarts, palliatives were often emphasized by Professor Slughorn as one of the "most difficult to control and most labor-intensive potions to prepare", but for those who have experienced [Potion Master Private Education Tutorial] For Liu Quan, it is not a problem.

Seeing that Snape was busy and didn't want to be disturbed, Liu Quan went straight to work in front of the two cauldrons boiling the moderator.

Snape sometimes made some potions and provided them to the pharmacy in Diagon Alley, which Liu Quan knew.So she glanced at the table, and sure enough, she saw a piece of parchment.She picked it up and saw that it was a list of potions that the pharmacy wanted to order.Several of them had been scribbled out, presumably Snape had already done them.Now there are only two potions that have not been crossed out, the palliative agent and the raw bone water.

So Liu Quan picked out some moonstone powder and hellebore syrup from the huge potion shelf beside him, intending to finish the palliative for Snape first, and then make the raw bone water.

Of course, when cooking, she was very careful not to use the little tricks that Snape had taught Lily - such as "here should not be stirred clockwise for a circle and a half as mentioned in the potions textbook, but should be clockwise." Stir clockwise twice and then counterclockwise for half a circle, the effect and color will be even better" and other practical thoughts of potions masters - lest Snape discover the connection between Bigenia and Lily from such clues .

But even so, the way she calmly and steadily took care of the two cauldrons at the same time, and was still using the spare time to prepare the potion ingredients for the next potion, caught Snape's attention.

He glanced up at her two or three times before finally speaking.

"...Four more bottles are enough."

Liu Quan hummed, and while continuing to work, he couldn't help showing a slight smile on the corner of his lips.

...It seems that my operation has been approved by the master of potions.Recalling the beginning of their acquaintance, he sternly reprimanded her, "Practice hard! Don't shame Lily's reputation!" and other remarks, it really seems like a lifetime like this now?

Perhaps, Snape thought, an illusion?After he ordered the strange woman sent by Dumbledore to work, she seemed to be a little happier—the action of handling potion ingredients was more crisp and neat, and she could also distinguish the potion boiled in the cauldrons on both sides. The time is slightly different, so when turning off the fire and bottling, I deliberately left the boiled potion pot for a while, and waited until the potion had indeed reached the correct temperature before turning off the fire. Also in one go - remember what she said before?She graduated from Ravenclaw?Then it's no wonder she acts like a schoolmaster...

However, another by-product of Xueba is often "a bit lacking in EQ".

Just now he had a good impression of the person he was most familiar with in the Order of the Phoenix besides Dumbledore—er, a companion—“she should be given ten points here”, and the next moment her question immediately turned this The good impression was completely ruined.

"Severus, if you're too busy, why don't you ask Lily to help?" She asked with a smile on her ignorant and blunt face—and used a "clean" on the cauldron , and then put the moonstone powder in.

Snape frowned for a moment.He simply replied, "She's busy too."

"But I don't think Lily will refuse to help you—no matter how busy she is." Miss Bigonia Columbine spoke again in that brisk tone.

This mode of "chatting among friends" made Snape feel strange and uncomfortable.Although they would chat a little before when they met for the mission of the Order of the Phoenix, she even talked about some anecdotes of the Order of the Phoenix-such as Sirius Black being spoiled by Dumbledore's over-sweet sweets. I was unwell all afternoon, or Peter Pedilu was always rushed to the front because James was always at the forefront because of his poor performance when he was out of the task. Their topic touches on Lily Evans.

It's really difficult to play a guy who doesn't wink at all... Liu Quan lamented in his heart, but he remained calm on the outside, slowly stirring the pot of potion, and slowly pouring the hellebore syrup into the cauldron .

"...Because I heard from Professor Dumbledore that you plan to get engaged." Her tone was very natural, as if she really casually mentioned this news because the topic had reached this point normally.

Snape gave her a icy glance and began to bottle the potion.

"Since you didn't deny it, can I make a little guess before congratulating you?" She continued to ask fearlessly.

He bent down and opened a drawer, taking out more crystal vials.

Be hated as an ignorant guy...but only under the identity and face of Bigonia, can she have the opportunity—and the courage—to explore the false truth he does not want to spread out. Things in front of Lily.

Especially - the reason why he did it all of a sudden.Because although she doesn't know him very well, she knows that he is not a bad guy, nor is he a scumbag.

The so-called "good guy with a bad face", Severus Snape must be that kind of person.

After the hellebore syrup was completely poured into the crucible, Liu Quan silently counted for 15 seconds, and then stirred counterclockwise three times before continuing: "I heard that you were friends. But the sudden step from friendship Moving to a higher level, I have to say it's astonishing...excuse me--may I venture to guess that this decision was made in connection with the... unnamed person?"

Snape suddenly raised his head and stared at her, with a long-year chill in his black eyes, as if he was extremely angry and dissatisfied with her reckless reasoning and words.He said coldly: "Miss Columbang, you can go. The potions you want are all over there."

He casually pointed to a corner of the long table, and there were indeed seven or eight bottles of potion placed side by side.

She thought she had touched his reverse scale.Or in other words, touched a part of the truth?

For some reason, this thought made her heart tighten.

"As a fellow member of the Order of the Phoenix, please allow me to remind you out of good intentions-Professor Dumbledore is certainly not such an easily perfunctory person, Severus. You can refuse to answer me, but I hope that in those cases where you have to In front of the people you are dealing with, you can come up with a reasonable explanation..."

She turned down the fire under the cauldron a little, and took out several crystal bottles and placed them next to them for bottling.

"Because, you want those people to believe your story, don't you?" she said gently.

Snape fell silent.For a moment, the only sound in the room was the gurgling sound of the potion being boiled in the cauldron.

Liu Quan looked at the time, then uncorked the crystal bottles one by one as if nothing had happened, and arranged them on the long table. While setting them up, he said softly, "I just care. Pleasant things, especially when you work with those Death Eaters, there is often more truth behind a thing-can I continue to speculate, that person seems to be a bit out of control recently, and he is full of enthusiasm for everything. Suspect?"

He was finally willing to open his mouth to reward her with a few words, a mocking sneer appeared on the corner of his lips. "I have to admit that you do have a talent for whimsy. Maybe that's why Dumbledore recruited you into the Order of the Phoenix?"

She still didn't hear his denial.Although she guessed right, she was not happy at all.

So she ignores his sarcasm and continues on. "I just don't understand why he suddenly cares about your family issues. I think he never does meaningless things, so this time his concern is particularly strange."

Snape lowered his head again to sort out his potions, and replied coldly: "Your curiosity will get out of control like that man one day. You will understand what he is thinking at that time."

She raised her eyebrows, always feeling that there was something wrong with this sentence.

While the palliatives in the two cauldrons she was taking care of were still boiling, she started to pack the potions he had just pointed out to her in the little dragon leather pouch she had brought with her, thinking While talking, he said to himself: "Is he suspicious of you? It should be impossible. He hasn't reached that point yet..."

She is not a crazy fan of HP, so she basically scribbled through the original works, and watched the movies when she caught up, and just ignored if she couldn't catch up.Therefore, she didn't have a good grasp of Voldemort's state, but she still had the impression that Voldemort seemed to trust Snape very much until the end.His double agent had to be said to be very successful.

Since Voldemort doesn't need to use Lily Evans to control Severus Snape in the same way he controlled Narcissa (or Draco) to control Lucius Malfoy in the future, what was he thinking? ?Although most of the Death Eaters are married, and Voldemort seems to like to arrange marriages among his believers-it has to be said that Dumbledore is far behind him in this regard, and the Order of the Phoenix also Whether it's Hogwarts or not, it's the base camp of leftover fighters—but since Lily is a mudblood, Voldemort, who advocates pure blood, is willing to let Snape marry her?

...unless, having a wife like Lily would do Snape good in Voldemort's eyes.

But marrying Lily would only make those pure-blooded Death Eaters laugh at Snape, who was originally a half-blood.So what kind of benefit can he get out of it?

...Could it be that Voldemort is focusing on the side of the Order of the Phoenix? !

You must know that Lily was once the flower of Gryffindor, and in the eyes of the members of the Order of the Phoenix, she is considered to be very popular.Marrying such a wife is a huge image plus for Snape to win the trust of Dumbledore and other members of the Order of the Phoenix; and having Lily's strong endorsement will help Snape win the trust of the Order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore. People's trust on the side of the bulldozer, isn't it?

She thinks she's enlightened.She couldn't help laughing in a low voice, thinking that this conclusion was really ridiculous and interesting.

"What are you laughing at?!" A cold, slightly annoyed voice suddenly sounded beside her.

She froze for a moment, only to realize that Snape had stopped working on bottling the potion at some point, and stood there angrily staring at her, as if trying to gouge out the face of a gossiping ugly girl. Big hole comes.

She spread her hands and said, "I laughed at that man so naively. He actually thought that this would make you trust Albus and the Order of the Phoenix. If it worked, why didn't he also marry him when he was fledgling? A Muggle-born wife? Maybe Albus won't keep staring at him..."

Although Snape was still expressionless, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he stared at her.

The subtext in that look is obvious, that is, "How dare you say that about the mysterious man, don't you want to live, the Order of the Phoenix is ​​indeed a bunch of lunatics".

For some reason, Liu Quan's chest was filled with turbulent and complex emotions, including surprise, sadness, loneliness, sadness, and relief...

After being a disrespectful guy with no winks, he still got some information that he wanted to know.

Sure enough, Snape would not have any real affection for her impostor.Not even if she had a face and appearance that he loved.

...was really, really frustrating.
