Hogwarts: I'm Cousin Harry

Chapter 247 245. Snape: I want to be her godfather! (seeking monthly ticket)
Vernon's new car slowly drove into the parking garage at No. 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey, with a familiar house, familiar garden, and everything familiar.

Petunia was not used to living in other places. Although the villa Dudley gave them was big, and the servants didn't have to do anything every day, Petunia was not used to living in this place. She had lived in this place for ten or twenty years. most comfortable.

Penny is a very nostalgic person.
They moved back here after Lily wrote to Dudley when little Lily was about five months old.

Today's little Lily will be a year old in a few weeks.

Dudley and the others also came to celebrate Little Lily's birthday.

Of course, the Grangers were also here as no surprise.

Well, it's a family gathering after all.

After parking the car in the garage, Vernon warmly greeted Mr. and Mrs. Granger, and then hooked up with Mr. Granger and secretly opened two bottles of beer.

"Seriously, Brother Wendell, I think you should move to Privet Drive. The environment here is much better than London Street. At least no one dares to defecate anywhere."

Yes, defecating anywhere, as we all know that toilets in Europe charge a fee, and many people are unwilling to pay this fee, so.
Not only England, but the whole of Europe is like this, and compared to Germany, England is slightly better.

Mr. Granger took a big gulp, and instead of replying to Vernon directly, he asked, "I heard that all the houses next door to yours are for sale?"

As soon as Mr. Granger mentioned this, Vernon seemed to start talking, and said a little depressed: "Yes, you don't know. The Little John's family next door moved away suddenly two days ago. I heard that they found better job”

"It's really weird, this is already the seventh household in this block this month."

"I hope the new neighbors are easy to get along with."

Vernon suddenly thought of something when he said this, and turned to look at Mr. Granger: "Brother Wendell, are you planning to?"

"Yes, we thought so."

"Maybe they will be neighbors in the future."

Mr. Granger said with a smile, confirming Vernon's conjecture.

What's better than having an old friend as a neighbor?

Vernon laughed loudly and swallowed the beer in his hand in one gulp, and burped long and contentedly.

"Comfortable!"

Hermione looked at the Grangers with surprise on her face: "Dad, Mom, are we going to move here in the future?"

Mrs. Granger laughed and said, "Yes, Hermione. Don't you like it? Didn't you often complain that you were too far away from Dudley's house?"

Hermione blushed when she heard that.

On the other side, Petunia put little Lily to sleep, walked out of the room, and greeted Snape who seemed out of tune with the surrounding environment.

"Long time no see, Severus."

"Long time no see, Petunia."

Snape greeted him bluntly, with an unnatural expression on his face. Don't think he has a good way of spitting people, but in fact he is not very good at dealing with people.

Even seeing neighbors from childhood.

After greeting each other, the two fell into silence.

"You have changed a lot." In the end, Penny took the initiative to break the silence.

This is often the case, the childhood playmates who have not been in touch for many years, and when they meet again, they are already different.

Maybe you haven't changed and he has changed, maybe you have changed and he hasn't changed, maybe both of you have changed.
It's almost never the same as before.
Snape has indeed changed a lot, he has grown bigger and older and his hair has become oilier, well, much, much oilier.

"You too." It took a long while for Snape to utter a few words.

Then the two fell silent again.

The others did not bother them, and even Vernon chose to chat with the Grangers, leaving enough time for the two of them to be alone.

"I still remember before."

It was still Petunia who took the initiative to talk about the past.

When I was young, in order to prevent Snape from getting too close to Lily, Petunia would follow behind like a burglar. In order to avoid her sister, Lily would find a way to bypass her every time. Although they were not rich in childhood , but very happy.

Although Snape didn't speak, his demeanor was clearly lost in memory.

"If only I could have gotten into Hogwarts then."

Penny sighed.

"."

Although Snape didn't speak, he still agreed with Petunia's words in his heart.

If Penny was here, and Lily had her sister by her side, maybe he wouldn't have said those words back then, and even if he did, there might be a chance of redemption
"Wow wow."

The loud cry of the baby interrupted their memories.

"Ah, it's Lily"

Petunia quickly said apologetically to Snape: "I'm sorry, Severus, you wait here for me first."

After speaking, Penny hurried into the room.

Snape froze, what did he hear?
Lily?

At this time, he only had one thought in his mind, to go to the room to have a look.

Snape rushed into the room on foot.

Then he froze in place as if struck by lightning.

Petunia was holding a baby in her arms, patting her on the back while coaxing her to stop crying.

"Severus, she looks a lot like Lily when she was a child, right?"

Petunia coaxed little Lily, and smiled when she saw Snape coming in.

The moment Snape saw the baby, his gaze seemed to be absorbed by a magnet, and he could no longer move an inch.

Resemblance, not only resemblance, it is exactly the same as Lily.

The baby's eyes, demeanor, and facial features are exactly what Lily looked like when she was a child.

Lily's face had long been deeply engraved in Snape's heart, no matter it was a few years, ten years or decades, he would never forget it, let alone admit it wrong.

This. This. How is this possible? !
Lily died, he had seen it with his own eyes, in his arms.

Snape instinctively rushed to Petunia.

Unconsciously, he wanted to reach out his hand to hug little Lili, but when he reached out and touched little Lili, he retracted violently as if touching a red-hot soldering iron.

'How do I match'

'I killed him'

'I'm a murderer and I deserve to die'

However, a miraculous scene happened. Little Lily, who was crying at first, stopped crying after seeing Snape. Instead, she opened her big green eyes, looked at him curiously, and finally turned to Snape. He stretched out his hands for a hug and giggled.

It was as if Snape was her family.

If it was a fantasy world, Snape would have yelled "this child is destined for me" at this time.

The laughter seemed to have a magical charm, and it hit Snape's heart directly.

'I want to give her the best of the world! '

'I want to compensate her for what I have lost! '

"I want to be her godfather!"

Snape's expression was unprecedentedly serious, his tone was unprecedentedly sincere, and his movements were unprecedentedly vigorous.
