Before receiving that letter, Mag was doing the same work as before.
She finished her third-year Transfiguration class in the afternoon and listened to Filch once again complain about what school rules the Weasley twins had broken. Finally, just as she was about to go to the Great Hall for dinner, she saw
Near the foyer of the building, she received the letter from the Owl Post Office in Hogsmeade.
The content of the letter was very brief. It just said that a student who graduated from Hogwarts a long time ago wanted to visit her alma mater and also wanted to meet her former professor. Now she is in front of the gate of the campus.
Mag didn't think much about this.
There are countless wizards who have graduated from Hogwarts in the UK. It is inevitable that some people will want to return to this castle every year to miss the time they spent studying and living here. Therefore, after receiving the letter, it is natural that McGonagall
He turned around from the foyer and walked towards the outside of the castle.
Then, through the school gate, she saw that familiar yet extremely unfamiliar face!
At the first moment, McGonagall thought of the person who had been dead for more than ten years, but everyone in the wizarding world knew that no one in that family survived except Harry, not to mention that McGonagall had witnessed it with her own eyes.
arrived at Lily's body.
Therefore, she came back to her senses the next second she was stunned, and continued to stare at Lily's face, wondering if she had made a mistake, and they were just two people who looked very similar.
"Who are you?"
Lily looked at Mag, who looked younger than in the other world, didn't have so many wrinkles on her face, and was no longer haggard, and replied softly.
"Professor, don't you recognize me?"
After being asked this question, Mag fell into a frowning silence again. She looked at Lily again, with sternness and alienation in her eyes.
"Lady, please don't make fun of the dead, especially since she was a great witch and her son still lives in this castle!"
Lily seemed to have guessed that such a situation might occur. She had been prepared for it. She took a deep breath, looked into Mag's eyes, and said sincerely.
"Do you still remember the sixth grade? Professor, I was in confusion at that time. That evening, you found me in the girls' bathroom, enlightened me and told me some truths, so that I could learn from that paragraph later.
Come out of time."
This is obviously a secret that only Lily and Mag know. After hearing this, Mag's eyes suddenly became shocked and incredulous!
There is no memory that can be concealed forever in the magical world. Whether it is Legilimency or Veritaserum, the memory can be retrieved without the knowledge of the person involved, but everyone knows that Lily Potter is dead.
Fifteen years!
The world has never heard of magic that can extract memories from the minds of dead people.
But similarly, Mag has never heard of any magic in this world that can truly resurrect the dead!
What's more, it's a person who has been dead for such a long time, and now this "Lily" looks like she was not dead at all and has been living until now.
By the way, there was also the boy beside her who didn't speak from the beginning, but just stared at Hogwarts Castle with a look of emotion that was very inappropriate for his age. No matter how you looked at it, there was nothing between him and "Lily"
They are like a mother and son.
And even if Lily really survived because of some secrets, would she have another child?
Or maybe James is not actually dead, and this boy is actually Harry's biological brother?
Mag's mind suddenly became a mess, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind, but she was actually more inclined to guess that this "Lily" was someone pretending to be someone else. She just accidentally knew the former
some things.
But...what if it's true?
Mag had no way not to think about this tiny hope, but actually it was very simple to prove it.
She looked at Lily solemnly.
"Since you are a former student coming back, you wouldn't mind meeting the principal of this school again, right?"
Whether it is true or false, there is definitely no way to hide it from Dumbledore's eyes, and even if it is false, no matter what kind of conspiracy this "fake Lily" has, as long as Dumbledore is around, she will not be allowed to succeed.
Going to see Dumbledore is what Lily and Jon really want to do.
Rather than convincing anyone else, as long as they can convince Dumbledore, there won't be any other trust issues.
The reason why they wrote to McGonagall in the first place was because, peace or not, Dumbledore was very busy, and he could not guarantee that he would be in Hogwarts Castle every minute. As the vice-principal, McGonagall was
It’s different.
Letting McGonagall take them to find Dumbledore is undoubtedly a better choice.
Seeing Lily accept her proposal, Mag didn't stop and opened the door.
If Dumbledore hadn't been in the castle at this time, she would never have done this, but now that the old man was in the principal's office, she certainly didn't have to worry about anything.
"Follow me and don't go anywhere else alone."
McGonagall reminded him seriously, and then led the way, while deliberately avoiding the direction of the auditorium, because Harry was having dinner there at this time.
Soon they arrived at the door of the principal's office. Some of this was beyond McGonagall's expectations. Lily and Jon behaved very normally from beginning to end. There was no intention of escaping in the middle or taking the opportunity to do anything to the castle.
It looks like something happened.
This made her feel even more shaken.
No one in this world dares to blatantly pretend to be Lily to provoke Dumbledore. Even Voldemort may not dare to come directly to Hogwarts to face Dumbledore, so...this Lily really has
Could it be true?
Finally, Mag looked at Lily with complicated eyes, but Lily just looked at her calmly.
There was a knock on the door of the principal's office, and the next second, an old voice that was very familiar to the three people present came from inside.
"Please come in."
Mag opened the door, and Lily and Jon followed her and walked in together.
After they entered the door, they saw the old man sitting in front of the office, wiping his crescent-shaped glasses with a handkerchief.
Seeing a living Dumbledore again, Lily finally couldn't help but her eyes turned red, and Jon couldn't help but feel a little sore in his nose.
"Dumbledore, I brought here a student who claimed to be a graduate of the school a long time ago."
Listening to McGonagall's words, Dumbledore also put on his glasses, and then his blue eyes stared at Lily and Jon.
He looked a little surprised, thoughtful and confused.
