Back to 1975

The tension between the weird trio is less tense, and Lily and Snape end their cold war.It seemed to prove Harry's sincerity, and Lily also felt happy.

They would often occupy a table in the corner of the library, because Snape preferred to be quiet and Harry didn't want others to see what he was working on.Obviously, he counted both Lily and Snape as his own.

It's just that he never chatted with Severus Snape in private, they only had a short conversation or two when Lily was present.Other times, they are no different than strangers.

But even so, Snape acquiesced to Harry.

When he walked into the library, he wouldn't look for a Slytherin table, and even if he saw him, he wouldn't sit there.He began to search for Lily or Harry Potter habitually.Even when he saw Harry who was alone, he would walk over and sit opposite him, without saying hello or talking, and just start studying directly.

Harry was uncomfortable about that, but, well, he couldn't force it, he was James' brother after all.Maybe in the past, in the life Merlin designed, he once bullied him together with James.

This thought is really uncomfortable, as if life is not his own, and he may be overtaken by Merlin at any time.

Harry hurried to the library with his schoolbag on his back. He put down his schoolbag at the empty desk in the corner, and went to look for books on the bookshelf.When he came back with the book, Lily and Snape were already sitting there.

Lily opened her schoolbag and began to sort out her History of Magic class notes.She is a good student, yes, but she is not Hermione, she pays close attention to the professor and the blackboard as if she is on a string all the time, so there are three or four class notes in front of her at the same time.Professor Binns's class was really painful. She could only flip through the book while integrating several people's notes into one.

"Hello, Harry." Lily wrote quickly without raising her head, but she suddenly raised her head and sniffed, "Harry, you smell really good."

Harry's face turned red, he tugged at his clothes awkwardly, and explained clumsily, "No. It's...it's James."

"Huh?" Lily looked at him, and Snape also dropped his potions book and looked up.

Harry scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's James, he's experimenting with which perfume his mother gave him is better." He smiled, "You know, Halloween and Christmas."

Snape snorted coldly as usual, Lily pouted too.But she gave an opinion: "This taste is not bad."

"Really?" Harry blinked in surprise, but when he looked up, he saw Snape's disappointed face.

Lily didn't respond, she took Harry's book, turned it over and looked at the title, "Aren't you going to take the exam, or are you not going to get a certificate? You're going to take the OWL exam at the end of the semester, and you're still reading extracurricular books ——" She looked down again, ""Life on the Timeline--The Pros and Cons of Time-Turner"?"

Harry took back his book, and he shrugged nonchalantly, "The exam is at the end of the term, so don't be so nervous."

Snape was not interested in listening to such boring topics. His voice was low and cold: "Ordinary wizarding level exams, advanced wizarding level exams, if you screw up, you will have no future."

Harry sat next to Lily, looked sideways at Snape, and grinned involuntarily, "I'll remember."

Snape snorted back as usual.

Lily was sandwiched between the two, showing a helpless wry smile.

~~~~~~~~~

The Hogwarts castle was decorated, and a jack-o-lantern was placed at every corner of the corridor, which was extraordinarily atmospheric after dark.It's just that many lovers complained again and again, they had to find a more secluded and safer place to date, otherwise the old monster Pringle⑴ would definitely give them a good meal.

With the advent of Halloween, the weather is getting colder and colder, and James can't continue to sleep naked because he has a cold.And the banquet is about to start at night, if he takes cold medicine at this time, he will probably have to sleep until tomorrow morning.James had to endure it, and took some other medicines that were palliative but not the root cause.

"Damn it!" James wiped his snot, and angrily pulled his tangled hair that looked like it had just been blown by a strong wind.Harry has always wondered whether he has any blood relationship with Mrs. Hodge, otherwise why their aesthetic vision is so similar.

James tugged at his clothes trying to smell himself, "I can't smell anything!"

"It's best if you don't smell anything, do you want to smoke Lily away with underarm odor?" Sirius spared no effort to hit him.This is a little hobby of the uncle and nephew. Every time James used his seniority to oppress Sirius, Sirius would always try to make up for it from other places.

James had already changed into a tuxedo, and the black slim robe made him look even taller.This robe is quite long, just like the clothes of Muslims, and I wish it could wrap people from head to toe.But it looked perfect on James' body.

James was tall and thin, but not thin at all, very strong.Putting on this robe, there is a sense of retro solemnity and mystery.Both Harry and Sirius insisted it was all due to the golden shadows on the cloth, though.

Sirius walked around him twice, looked up and down, "It's not bad, it smells like Slytherin. As long as you don't open your mouth and cover your head."

James rubbed his nose without saying a word, and raised his middle finger at him.

Harry had already changed, too. His dress was similar to James', only shorter, like a short coat.He couldn't wear long clothes like Jaime's, because his tragic height would just make the clothes drag the floor.James jokingly said that he was born strong and would snatch Harry's snacks in the womb.

Harry stood in front of the mirror, tugging at his collar in distress, he had never liked dresses very much, especially this one on him, it was too extravagant and ostentatious.He looked at James and decided that this suit was more suitable for him.

"Use this, Lily said it's good." Harry went to help pick out the perfume, he opened the cap and sniffed, and handed one of the bottles to James.

James took it over and asked, "How did Lily smell it?"

"The last time you used perfume as bathwater."

Sirius suddenly approached Harry, lowered his head and buried his face in his shoulder, squeezed his throat and said ambiguously, "Harry - your smell is so delicious -" He took a deep breath, his face full of intoxication .

Embarrassed, Harry pushed him away.

Sirius looked at him, "Since when did your relationship with Lily get so good?"

James immediately glared at Harry: "You guard yourself?"

"...I didn't..." Harry looked at James, then at Sirius, "You set me up!" Harry threw Sirius on his back, rubbing it vigorously.

James threw himself onto Harry, rubbing furiously.

Sirius, who was originally a bird of a feather, and James rubbed the traitor little Harry together.

When Remus and Peter came back, Harry was about to die in battle. The two gloated beside him for a long time before reminding, "The dinner party is about to start?"

The two had to let go of Harry's hairy head and continue to dress up.

Jaime's hair was as stiff as wire, and all four of them couldn't tame it.In the end it was Peter who had the trick. He took a tube of superglue and a few guys sneakily "styled" his hair.

James stared at the mirror stupidly for a long time, then took out the mask Doria had chosen for him, put it on his face, turned around coquettishly, lowered his voice, and asked, "Are you handsome?"

Peter coughed dryly, wisely, he didn't speak.The corners of Remus' mouth twitched, and he looked at Sirius with a smile on his face.Sirius stared at him without speaking, turning to look at Harry.

Harry warned him sincerely: "Don't speak."

The first shot came out, and Harry was dead again, and James held him down, no longer trying to rub him into a Quaffle, but into a Snitch.

James stood up and looked at them. He deliberately said indifferently, "Anyway, I have a cold, and I feel uncomfortable when I talk."

Harry curled his lips. He took out his own mask, compared it to his face, and then put it down again.This mask is so eye-catching, I'm afraid only James and Sirius can wear this mask and wander around the school as if nothing had happened.

Harry had never been a cool guy, and never intended to be.

James hugged him and walked out swaggeringly, "Halloween⑵, have a good time Harry."

Of the five, only James put his best effort into dressing up, not even Sirius.This time James spent a lot of money in pursuit of Lily.Although the method may not be able to please Lily, James became more and more courageous with frustration, and never gave up.

Sirius posed for James as if he were Slytherin or thirteen, and left him at the door of the hall.James said to wait for the goddess of his destiny to come and impress her the most.

Harry hoped that didn't come across as a bad impression.

Jaime stood motionless at the door, frozen almost to a statue, before he finally caught sight of his belated goddess.It's just that a beast followed the beauty.

"Hi Harry," Lily walked towards James briskly, and before he could speak, she started talking like a cannonball, "I've seen your mask from a long way off, it's really beautiful !"

James remembered what his brothers had told him: don't talk—

Snape also came over, and he smelled the perfume that had appeared on Harry.But Snape's expression suddenly changed. He narrowed his eyes and stared fiercely at James Potter, frowning tightly.

"You look very well dressed, Harry."

The masked James saluted Lily, turning his wrist in a rather graceful motion.He took Lily's hand and lowered his head to kiss it.But out of politeness, his lips didn't touch the back of Lily's hand.

He raised his head and smiled at her. His hazel eyes were bright and soft under the light of the torch. He looked at Lily: "You mistook me, I'm James."

Lily froze for a moment, her face quickly turned red, and she quickly withdrew her hand.But she didn't leave immediately, but said sorry in a low voice.

James is still the same cheerful and easygoing, but something has changed.Maybe it was the little misunderstanding that made Lily embarrassed to get angry, maybe it was the passionate kiss, and James's hazel, warm, clear eyes that weren't like his own.

Snape snorted coldly.This scene is so wonderful that people want to applaud, he really admires Harry Potter's scheming!

First the mask, then the perfume.He had been planning all this since half a month ago, trying his best to make Lily mistake James for Harry Potter.

Snape suddenly felt nauseous, as if something was churning in his stomach.

He took one last look at them, bypassing the two who were walking side by side, and walked quickly to the Slytherin table without even glancing at the elaborate decorations in the hall.

"Severus!" Lily called after him.

Snape's feet stopped, he turned his head, and pulled the corner of his mouth at Lily, showing a smile that wasn't even a smile.

As for Lily, she waved at Snape and walked to the Gryffindor table, accompanying James Potter.
