save the bachelors

Chapter 4044 4046 [We will be friends from now on]

"Severus, don't be angry~" Seeing her sister being so rude to Xiang Nan, Lily Evans quickly pleaded with him.

She had just seen with her own eyes that Xiang Nan just waved his hand and a stone broke. She didn't want to see her sister end up like a stone.

Xiang Nan smiled slightly.

Even though he hated Petunia's harshness, he would not punish her in front of Lily.

Because Lily is a kind-hearted person, she hates violence, pranks and hurting others. In the book, in order to teach Petunia a lesson for her rude words, Snape hit her with a branch, which made Lily angry with him for the first time.

He waved his hands and a whirlwind blew past. The fallen leaves on the ground floated up and suddenly turned into colorful and dancing butterflies in the sky, just like in a fairy tale.

Lily and Petunia were stunned.

Xiang Nan waved his hand again, and the butterflies in the sky disappeared with the wind.

Lily and Petunia couldn't help but sigh, as if they had had an amazing and incredible dream.

"I'm not angry. Ignorance is not a surprise." Xiang Nan chuckled, "And I think she is also worried that you will be deceived. After all, what you see with your own eyes may not be true, let alone just hearing from me."

"Severus, you are such a nice person." Lily said sincerely.

"Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded and looked at Penny and said, "You see, magic is real. I didn't lie to your sister."

"How did you do it? Can I do it too?" Penny asked with envy and anticipation.

"Unfortunately, this requires a certain amount of talent." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

Penny suddenly looked disappointed.

Seeing this, Lily felt sorry for her sister.

……

"You don't have to do that. Even without magic, you will have a good life." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I know a little about divination. I can see that you will meet a man who loves you deeply in the future. You and him will have a healthy child and live a rich and stable life."

Hearing him say this, Penny blushed a little, feeling surprised and happy.

She is Lily's elder sister, and she is already thirteen years old. Girls mature early and have many fantasies about love and marriage. So she couldn't help but feel very happy when she heard Xiang Nan say that.

What does a wizard mean? What does magic mean? Love and marriage are the most important. She will have a husband who loves her deeply, a healthy child, and a rich and stable life.

This is the most important thing for a girl.

"Are you serious?" she asked Xiang Nan. She was a little suspicious by nature and worried that he was just trying to fool her.

"Of course it's true." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "Magic is not omnipotent. Just look at my mother, she is also a magician, but look at the life I live."

Hearing him say this, Penny finally felt relieved.

To be honest, she was a little jealous of her sister's talent. She felt that her sister could do so many amazing things and get praise from her parents, while she couldn't do any of them, so her mentality was inevitably a little unbalanced.

However, after hearing what Xiang Nan said, she suddenly felt that magicians were nothing special.

Xiang Nan's mother is also a magician, but she lives in Spider's Tail Alley and leads a poor, embarrassing and destitute life. Perhaps her sister will be as unlucky as her in the future.

On the other hand, she had a husband who loved her deeply, healthy children, and a wealthy family. In that case, what was there for her to be jealous of? "You guys go have fun, I'm going home." Penny grinned and turned away. She was no longer interested in magic, but more interested in her future husband.

……

"Severus, is what you just said true?" Lily Evans asked curiously after her sister left.

"Divination is not omnipotent. There are many factors that affect destiny. Even the most outstanding fortune teller cannot guarantee that the results of divination will come true every time." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.

"Then why did you make a promise to her?" Lily asked in confusion.

"But she is very happy, isn't she?" Xiang Nan explained with a smile, "She is your sister. You have talents that she doesn't have. Everyone is jealous, even family members. I don't want you sisters to be estranged. You see, things are not going well now. She won't be jealous of you anymore."

"Severus, you are such a kind person." Lily said sincerely.

When being insulted by Penny like that, he was not only not angry, but also thought about considering her feelings. Such kind people are really rare.

"Thank you for the compliment." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "You are the first person to praise me like this."

"How come? Don't you have any friends?" Lily asked puzzled.

Xiang Nan shook his head and said with a lonely look, "My mother didn't let me go to a Muggle school. She taught me magic at home. Besides, our family is so poor that no one wants to be friends with me."

Hearing him say this, Lily felt a surge of sympathy in her heart, "Severus, if you are willing, I am willing to be your friend."

"Really? Thank you." Xiang Nan said in surprise.

Lily smiled and nodded, "You're welcome. We'll be friends from now on."

"Okay." Xiang Nan also nodded and smiled, thinking that the first step in his relationship with Lily was quite steady.

Lily had a very good first impression of herself. As long as she continued to maintain it in the future, the success rate of the mission would be very high.

……

For the next period of time, apart from practicing wandless and silent spells every day, Xiang Nan played and chatted with Lily Evans by the river.

He told Lily many things about the wizarding world, such as dragons, ghosts, unicorns, centaurs, Quidditch, Floo powder, flying brooms, chocolate frogs, and Bibi Every-Flavour Beans. Lily couldn't help but be fascinated by what she heard.

As they got to know each other, their friendship gradually deepened.

At the end of January, Lily invited Xiang Nan to her home. "Severus, the 30th is my birthday, and I have invited my friends to celebrate with me. You are also my good friend, and I welcome you to join us."

"Let's not do it." Xiang Nan was slightly stunned, then waved his hand and said, "I am regarded as a weirdo by the kids around me. If I attend your birthday party, your friends will gossip about you."

Not only is Xiang Nan's family poor, but because Irene is a wizard and her way of doing things is very different from that of ordinary people, she is considered a crazy woman by the people around her, and Xiang Nan is also regarded as a little lunatic.

Not to mention the kids from the wealthy area of ​​Cokeworth, even the kids from the poor families living in Spider's Tail Alley were unwilling to be friends with Xiang Nan.

Lily's father Robin is an engineer and comes from a wealthy family. If people knew that she was friends with Xiang Nan, it would definitely cause a lot of gossip.

"It doesn't matter. I don't care." Lily waved her hand and said, "I know you are a good person. No matter what others say, I don't care."

"Okay, then I accept your invitation." Xiang Nan nodded.

"That's great." Lily clapped her hands and laughed.
