After the two of them arrived at the headmaster's room on the eighth floor of Hogwarts, the first thing Snape did was to grab a blank parchment on the desk, and with a wave of his wand, the parchment appeared He wrote seven or eight lines of handwriting.He threw the parchment to Liu Quan again, and ordered impatiently: "Go to my office immediately, find out all the things written on it and bring them here."

Liu Quan also knew that now was not the time to argue with him or ask questions, so he nodded and immediately turned around and got into the fireplace.

It is really not easy to rummage through the potions office and be careful not to disturb the original arrangement.When Liu Quan returned to the principal's office with all the bottles and cans listed on the paper, it was almost 10 minutes later.

As soon as she stepped out of the fireplace, Snape turned immediately from the huge desk in the headmaster's office.When he saw that it was her who came, dissatisfaction quickly flashed across Que Hei's eyes.He criticized her mercilessly, "I'm assuming you couldn't find any of them, so you had to improvise a few potions I needed in my office—"

"You need better indexing on your shelves, Severus." Liuquan protested in a small voice. Finding a needle in a haystack."

Snape's face darkened, as if her sarcasm hit him right where he couldn't be attacked.He glared at her viciously, and stabbed her back mercilessly with his eyes during the short distance she walked from the fireplace to the huge desk in the principal's office; This look is immune.

She calmly stopped in front of that table, opened the little dragon skin bag in her hand, and neatly placed the bottles of medicines listed by him on the table.

Snape frowned at her wordless defiance, and didn't blame her for anything.His face was tense, and the corners of his lips were solemn and serious.There was a few minutes of silence in the room, and then he seemed to think of something suddenly, and asked: "What else did you talk about? ... Tell me all about what you talked about. This is very important, I want to make sure that we haven't missed any details. a hint of..."

Liu Quan's hand paused slightly.She thought of her rash guesses and bold temptations, and Dumbledore's calm response and deliberate smile.And the flame-like anger shown by the system bacteria at that moment... If she repeats all this again, what will be the result?Will the system bacteria scold and stop her again?Or will the so-called "plot inertia" or "world balance" be alarmed by her recklessness?

In the books, without her participation and warning, Snape was still able to hold Dumbledore's diabolical curse in one hand and keep him alive for another full year.And now, she said it, could it change everything, stop Dumbledore from wearing the Resurrection Stone ring inlaid with one of the Deathly Hallows, and thus permanently change the course of the plot?

She has no confidence, and she dares not take risks.

So she just kept silent and didn't speak.She still steadily arranged the large pile of crystal bottles on the table in order and classification, and carefully left enough space for the two headmasters of Hogwarts who were going to use this table to cure black magic curses.

Snape waited for a while, but couldn't wait for the impostor's answer.He began to have some bad premonition—if there was anything about this impostor that was similar to Lily, it would be the Gryffindor traits in her, the same obedience to Dumbledore's orders, the same Convinced in all Dumbledore's decisions, with the same enthusiasm and impulse, willing to take risks for what he believes in——

He suddenly became startled for no reason.His face sank, he raised his voice an octave behind her, and asked sharply, "Why don't you speak?!"

Liu Quan's hands trembled, but he remained stubbornly silent, as if he planned to use this method to silently fight against him forever.

Snape's limited patience ran out almost immediately.He took a step from behind her, and grabbed her left wrist holding the empty little dragon leather bag.

"Say every word of your conversation right now! Damn..." he yelled angrily, nearly covering his eyes with rage.But at the moment when he mercilessly called her with his all-time contemptuous title, he swallowed it back unnaturally, and instead squeezed her slender wrist tightly, as if he wanted to squeeze her against her. All her dissatisfaction was vented in this grip.

"Can you stop clinging to your stupid Gryffindor allegiance bloody at a time like this! You should know that Dumbledore was right, he's damned risky! And he made me like I’m just staying here like a stupid dog waiting for him, probably not because I’m here to listen to his adventures and then write an article praising him?!” He couldn’t control his thoughts as time went on. Anxiety, incomprehension, and anger slowly emerged as time passed by, and it was even more difficult to control my own words, which became more and more harsh and merciless.

She was right, Dumbledore had never done such a thing, left an ambiguous half-joking half-serious remark, and left without looking back before he was in a hurry to find him himself; or, Dumbledore Did he deliberately not find him, so as to avoid a series of doubts and questions from him face to face?The old fox knew that it was more appropriate for her to complete this kind of task, because he had some kind of deep-seated hatred for her, so he was always too lazy to waste any unnecessary words with her, and he was very concerned about her position. Trusting enough so that she could bring him to the Headmaster's office without any further questions, and wait like a fool in the dark for the old headmaster of Hogwarts to die somewhere crazy return? !

Thinking of this made Snape even more irritable.

"Is this always the way you Gryffindors are?! Thinking it's some kind of heroic adventure to go to your death without telling anyone?!" he asked bluntly.

"If... if you need help from others, at least say so clearly while you are alive! Not when you have one foot in the grave—" he said angrily.

However, the next moment, that impostor Lily interrupted him softly.

"Yeah, Severus." She looked up at him with a strange look, and said, "You're right."

Snape: "..."

It was rare for her to agree with him without any resistance or refutation.But his intuition told him that this matter must not be so simple——

Sure enough, the next moment she continued:

"I hope you will always remember this sentence in the future."

"I don't need anyone's help!" Snape blurted angrily.

But she looked at him with a very strange look.There was pity, sympathy, pleading and sadness in those green eyes that belonged to Lily, and there was also a kind of sadness that hesitated to speak.Snape was not good at reading the subtleties of body language and facial expressions, so he now felt that the imposter was working against him.

"We're talking about Dumbledore now! Don't bring it up to me!" He raised his voice an octave angrily, "Before you come up with an epitaph for him, tell me the hell of your conversation! At least I need to know what other potions I should prepare to rip him out when he steps into the coffin with one foot!"

This rude and straightforward remark seemed to have finally touched the impostor Lily.Snape saw her expression slightly shaken, and finally said:

"He refused to say anything...but I asked him," she said without a word, "I asked him——whether the password for the principal's office tonight is 'Horcrux'."

Snape:! ?

A cold and dark feeling climbed up his spine immediately, making him feel like falling into an ice cellar for an instant.

Although this imposter graduated from Gryffindor, she also has Gryffindor-style boldness, enthusiasm and aggressiveness, but in general, she also has a cautious side in her character; , she would not throw out such a serious word as "Horcrux" so hastily.

His voice darkened involuntarily. "And what was his answer?"

Then, he saw her wryly smile.

"'Peppermint Toad,'" she said.

Snape was taken aback.

"……what?!"

The impostor showed a wry smile that seemed uglier than crying.

"Professor Dumbledore said that the password for the Headmaster's office tonight is 'Peppermint Toad,'" she replied.

Snape: "..."

The imposter seemed to hesitate for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, and as if he was making a difficult trade-off and choice; finally, she opened her mouth to add something.

"...so I think you should be prepared." She said, paused before continuing.

"...prepare for the worst."

Snape froze for a moment, his eyes staring at her turned cold involuntarily.After a while, he seemed to understand something from her expression and attitude, so he nodded curtly, turned around and quickly slid into the fireplace with anger in his voice.

"Hold here until I get back! Damn you, stubborn Gryffindor!"

He cursed without regard for his demeanor, and angrily threw up the Floo powder he was holding in his hand.

"Potions office!"

The author has something to say:
