In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

   Chapter 3 3. Lily Potter

  A squeezing feeling like the whole body was being run over by a wheel, occupying all of Jon's senses.

This kind of nausea and pain that seemed to be crushed made his stomach churn, and after the feet that had been suspended in the air for less than a second stepped on the solid ground again, Jon finally couldn't bear it. Clutching his stomach, the arched waist retched and retched.

   "It's hard to get used to the feeling of apparating for the first time. Sit down and have a cup of hot chocolate. Maybe it will make you feel better."

  Although Lily's tone was cold, it was clearly a caring voice sounding beside him.

Jon breathed a sigh of relief, took a cup of warm chocolate from her hand, lowered his head and seemed to take a sip, but actually didn't let his lips touch the liquid in the cup at all, and suppressed the discomfort in his body, pay attention Focus on your surroundings.

This is a small log cabin, the furnishings in the room are very simple, there is only one stove, two dilapidated single sofas around the stove, and a dirty wooden table. It seems that it is just a place for temporary rest. safe house.

  Through the narrow window, you can see a lush forest outside, which is obviously an inaccessible place.

Jon held the cup of hot chocolate in both hands, and looked at Lily, who was lighting the stove lightly with his wand, making the originally weak flames on it more vigorous. Only now can he carefully observe this scene that should have happened ten years ago. The witch just died.

  She is undoubtedly a very beautiful woman, but her crimson hair is slightly messy, her face looks a little pale as a result of poor rest, her eye sockets are deep, and the large gray robe makes her extremely thin.

  Lily noticed his gaze, and looked at Jon with those green eyes that were missed by a potions professor in the original book.

  Jon took a deep breath, and asked the first question after arriving at a safe place with a serious face.

   "I escaped with you, Mrs. Chris, will they be in danger?"

  Although he didn't have much sense of belonging to the orphanage, Mrs. Chris, the dean, took care of his food and lodging after all, and took care of him for more than a year.

  From the bottom of his heart, Jon didn't want to see those who helped him get implicated because of himself.

   Lily looked up at him, her eyes, which were originally calm like stagnant water, were obviously softer.

"The people who want to take you away have done all kinds of evil before, but after they have completely mastered the power of the magic world, their masters will no longer allow them to kill people easily. They will only clear the minds of everyone in the orphanage about you. Memory, destroy all traces of your past existence in this world, and will not harm anyone related to you."

  Jon breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her words, and his hand holding the teacup relaxed slightly.

   "You look much more mature than your peers, not like an 11-year-old." Lily didn't take her eyes off Jon.

  Hearing her tone, it was obvious that she was just expressing her feelings. Jon didn't show much sensitivity because of this, and said with a wink.

   "Children living in orphanages always need to know more things, don't they? Although I don't think this is something to brag about."

   Lily fell silent. She didn't know what she thought of, and her mood seemed to suddenly become low.

   But this silence didn't last long, her face returned to calm and indifferent again, and she spoke to Jon.

"Your general situation, Crouch has already told you when you were in the orphanage just now, at least he didn't lie about you being a wizard with magical talent, and I don't need to repeat it to you again. I know you still have a lot of questions in your mind, but fortunately we still have time until dark, let me answer these questions."

   "But before I give you formal admission guidance, you have to answer my question first."

   Lily's expression didn't change much, but her tone became a little more serious.

   "Why, when you finally heard the name Barty Crouch, you became so decisive and chose to follow me? You knew him before?"

  Jon's face remained the same. After coming to this safe house, he had already thought that if this Lily had no problems, he would ask him this question sooner or later, so he made a plan in advance in his heart from the beginning.

   Judging from Lily's current attitude, she didn't have too much guard and vigilance against herself because of this incident, which made Jon quietly relieved.

He didn't know if the Lily in front of him could use spells like insanity. Although decent wizards could do it, they would rarely use it on people in a sneaky way, especially for a child who was only 11 years old. But if the situation was too dangerous, To a certain extent, even decent wizards will not be so pedantic that they have reservations about suspicious elements.

   And now Jon's performance is obviously far from this level, but first of all, he must be able to explain clearly.

"I don't know him, but from the first time I saw him, I felt that he was not as friendly as he appeared." Jon and Lily looked at each other, without any intention of avoiding her gaze, "He He dislikes and loathes me very much, I can feel it from the first time he saw me."

"The more he described the beauty of that magic school to me, the more I felt he was fake. Besides, I couldn't understand a single word of the admission letter he asked me to sign, except for the title above. , After signing, who knows whether I really went to the magic school or I sold myself? I didn't think about signing with him when you didn't show up. It's just that he is an adult who understands magic. I am a child, and I have no way to directly resist. Your appearance has given me more choices. Although this choice is also unknown and very dangerous, it is always stronger than another person who is more suspicious, right? So I It was only when you were confronting each other that he asked his name to draw his attention, and then he ran away with you."

  What Jon said is well-founded, 90% of it is true, only the last sentence is false, unless you pry into his heart, you won't find any problems at all.

   And of course Lily didn't "dissect" his brain, but she still stared at Jon strangely.

   There was a moment of silence in the air, and she finally spoke when Jon was stared at by her hairy.

   "I've never met an 11-year-old like you."

  She seemed to be struggling with her own words, Jon observed her words and reminded her in a timely manner.

"clever?"

   "No, it's like a ghost who looks young but has died for thousands of years. There are so many twists and turns in his heart."

  Jon's face suddenly stinks.

   Everyone has only known each other for a short time, and they are not familiar with each other, so there is no need to turn around and call him like an old monster.
