save the bachelors

Chapter 4041 4043 [Lily Evans]

Just as Xiang Nan was sighing, he suddenly heard a scream coming from outside the tree hole, "Freak! You are a freak! Lily, I'm going to tell mom!"

Xiang Nan looked through the tree hole and saw two little girls by the river.

The older one has long brown hair and an expression of fear and envy; the younger one has long red hair and a small white flower in her palm, the petals of which keep withering and blooming, which is very magical.

Xiang Nan recognized at a glance that the older girl was Penny Evans, of course she was better known as "Aunt Penny".

The red-haired girl was Lily Evans. She showed amazing magical talent, which even pure-blooded wizards might not be able to catch up with. For example, Neville Longbottom did not show any magical talent until he was eight years old.

Xiang Nan then crawled out of the tree hole.

Penny was startled when she saw a person suddenly coming out of the tree hole. After seeing that it was Xiang Nan, the fear on her face increased instead of decreasing. She screamed, "Lily, come here quickly, let's go~"

In her eyes, Xiang Nan was clearly seen as a little hooligan, a gangster, and a little scoundrel.

Lily Evans was not scared. She looked at Xiang Nan puzzledly with her beautiful green eyes, wondering what he was going to do.

Xiang Nan waved his hand, and a blade of grass rose from the ground and fell into his hand. He blew gently, and the grass immediately fluttered like a butterfly, slowly flying towards Lily.

Lily Evans was immediately amazed. She originally thought that she was unique and the only one with magical powers, but she didn't expect Xiang Nan to have the same ability.

"Monster, you are a monster too!" Penny Evans was frightened and screamed and ran out.

……

"You are not a monster, you just have a magical talent like me." Xiang Nan explained to Lily Evans with a smile.

"Magic?" Lily asked in surprise.

Although she had magical powers, she was still very surprised to hear Xiang Nan say this.

For her, who comes from a Muggle family, magic only exists in fairy tales and cannot exist in reality.

"Yes, it's magic." Xiang Nan nodded. "My name is Severus Snape, what's yours?"

"Lily Evans." Lily introduced herself.

"Welcome, Lily, welcome to the magical world." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Is there really magic?" Lily asked doubtfully.

"Of course it's true." Xiang Nan nodded, "You can make a flower bloom and wither. If this isn't magic, then what is it?"

"But...how is this possible?" Lily still couldn't believe it.

"Don't doubt it, this is the truth." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "My mother is a magician. She graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She is proficient in many kinds of magic."

"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" Lily asked doubtfully.

"Yes, it is one of the best magic schools in the world. Its headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, is the greatest and most advanced wizard in the world," Xiang Nan explained.

"'One'? How many magic schools are there?" Smart Lily immediately grasped the key point of Xiang Nan's words and asked curiously. "As far as I know, there are eleven magic schools in the world, but only eight have made their information public. The other three magic schools have never been announced. Only those who are truly destined can find them." Xiang Nan explained, "And all students from the three British Isles will enter Hogwarts School."

"Really? How do we get there?" Lily asked in surprise.

"When we turn eleven, we will receive the admission letter from Hogwarts in July." Xiang Nan explained, "For children like me who come from a wizard family, the school will directly send an owl to deliver the letter.

Children like you who come from Muggle families usually have a personal visit from the professors at school, so your parents don't think it's a prank."

"Muggle?" Lily caught another new word from Xiang Nan's words.

"It's the name the magic world uses to refer to ordinary people who don't have magical talent." Xiang Nan explained, "It's a very normal name, and there's no malice in it at all."

Lily Evans nodded, but more and more questions arose in her mind.

She was about to continue asking, but Xiang Nan looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late. I have to go home. If you want to know something else, come find me here tomorrow."

After saying that, he leaped into the air and flew across the sky like a flying bird, his body extremely agile.

Although he was wearing jeans that were too short, an oversized and worn-out jacket, and a wrinkled, ill-fitting shirt underneath, which looked weird, like a shirt worn by a pregnant woman... coupled with his greasy long black hair, he looked like a tramp, which was really undignified and unremarkable.

But when Lily Evans saw Xiang Nan flying away, she couldn't help but sigh.

But in fact, Xiang Nan flew away using Qinggong, which had nothing to do with magic.

……

Returning to his home in Spider's Tail Alley, Xiang Nan felt very depressed as soon as he entered the house.

Mother Erin Prince sobbed as she cooked dinner in the kitchen, while father Tobias Snape sat at the table, drinking from a bottle of wine while watching football.

He was originally a repairman in a textile factory. Although his income was not high, it was enough to support a family of three. But after he was laid off five years ago, he could only live on relief.

Not only did his income drop sharply, but he also developed a bad habit of alcoholism, which exacerbated his bad temper and he would start swearing at people every day when he was drunk.

"You bitch, you finally came back." Seeing his son, Tobias glared at him and cursed.

Xiang Nan ignored him and went straight back to his room.

"Look at the son you gave birth to, he's a monster. I was so blind to marry you?" Tobias cursed loudly.

Because of the setbacks in his career, financial difficulties and helplessness in life, he was full of complaints, but had nowhere to vent his anger and could only vent it on his relatives.

Although Irene Prince knew magic and had great attainments, she did not dare to retort when faced with the insults from her Muggle husband, and could only sob quietly.

On the one hand, she also believed that the difficulties in life were caused by herself. Other wives could go out to work, but as a wizard, she had no job and could only rely on her husband for support;

On the one hand, Tobias was really good to her in the past, but his life has not been going well in recent years, and he is under too much pressure. She believes that things will get better in the future, and she just needs to be patient.

And as a wizard, she couldn't lay a hand on her husband. Otherwise, she might be imprisoned in Azkaban, and then there would be no one to take care of her poor son.
