Wizard world without savior - Chapter 3
Chapter 3: Lily Potter
A squeezing feeling, like his whole body being run over by a wheel, occupied all of Jon’s senses.
This kind of nausea and pain, as if a person was about to be crushed, made his stomach churn. After his feet, which had been hanging in the air for less than a second, stepped on the solid ground again, Jon finally couldn’t bear it anymore. Clutching his stomach, the arched waist retched.
“It’s inevitable that you won’t be used to this feeling when you Apparate for the first time. Sit down and have a cup of hot chocolate to make you feel better.”
Although Lily’s tone was cold, it was clearly a caring voice ringing around 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 cabin with very simple furnishings. There is only a stove, two shabby single sofas around the stove and a dirty wooden table. It looks like 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 with both hands and looked at Lily who was lighting the stove lightly with her wand to make the weak flames on it become stronger.
She is undoubtedly a very beautiful woman, but her crimson hair is slightly disheveled, her face looks a little pale as a result of not having a good 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 deadly green eyes that were missed by a certain 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 that orphanage, Mrs. Chris, the director, took care of his food and accommodation and took care of him for more than a year.
From the bottom of his heart, Jon didn’t want to see the people who helped him get implicated because of himself.
Lily raised her head and glanced at him. Her eyes, which were originally as calm as dead water, were obviously a little softer.
“Those 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 easily. They will only clear the memory of everyone in the orphanage related to you. Destroying all traces of your existence in this world, and will not harm the people related to you.”
After hearing her words, Jon breathed a sigh of relief, 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.
From the tone of her voice, it was obvious that she was just expressing her feelings. Jon didn’t show much sensitivity because of this, and said with a blink of an eye.
“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 the silence didn’t last long. Her expression returned to calm and indifference, 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 expression remained the same. After coming to this safe house, he had already thought that if this Lily had no problems, she 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 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 Legelimency. 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.
Now Jon’s performance is obviously far from this level, but first he must be able to explain it reasonably.
“I don’t know him, but from the first time I saw him, I felt that he was actually not as friendly as he appeared.” Jon and Lily looked at each other without any intention of avoiding The meaning of her eyes, “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 that he was fake. Besides, except for the title above, I couldn’t understand a word of the admission notice he asked me to sign. After signing, who knows whether I really went to a magic school or whether I sold myself out? I never thought about signing and going with him when you didn’t show up. It’s just that he is an adult who understands magic. I am a child and cannot resist directly. Your appearance gives me more choices. Although this choice is unknown and very dangerous, it is still stronger than another person who is more suspicious, right? So It was only when you were confronting that I asked his name to draw his attention, and then I ran away with you.”
What Jon said was reasonable and 90% true. Only the last sentence was false. Unless you pry into his heart, you would not find the problem at all.
Of course, Lily didn’t use Legelimency, 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 at the right time.
“clever?”
“No, it’s the same as the 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 stiffened.
We have only known each other for a short time, and we are not familiar with each other, so there is no need to turn around and call him like an old monster.
