Chapter 34 You're all freaks
Seeing the girl in his memory appear vividly in front of him, Snape walked forward excitedly, trying his best to restrain his abrupt behavior.
He looked at Lily with delight, raised the corners of his mouth and said, "It's obvious that you are a witch."
Petunia and Lily's faces turned pale.
Their impression of witches is still stuck in fairy tales.
"Lily, let's go back quickly and don't talk to this strange man."
Penny held Lily back, not wanting the strange boy to touch her.
"and many more."
Seeing Lily about to leave, Snape nervously stepped forward to stop them.
"You are a wizard, not the evil witch in fairy tales. There are many people like you, and I am a wizard too."
In order to make Lily believe, Snape used Transfiguration to turn the grass on the ground into flowers.
Lily was stunned by the scene and looked at Snape curiously.
Snape looked at Lily and said gently: "You see, we are the same. We are both wizards with magical powers."
When Penny saw Lily showing interest in this strange boy, alarm bells immediately went off in her heart.
She is not as innocent as Lily. The appearance of this boy is too strange, and the look in his eyes when he looks at Lily is a bit indescribable. He must be a bad guy!
"Lily, let's go back quickly. Mom will be angry if she knows what happened today. Don't talk to weird people."
Jiang Li grabbed Lily's hand and tried to pull her away by force.
"Penny, I don't think he is a bad person." Lily said simply.
"No, you can't stay here, let's go back quickly." Penny said anxiously, holding Lily with much more strength.
"Penny, you're scratching me."
Lily cried out in pain.
Snape walked over and separated their hands. He looked at Petunia with contempt and said, "You are jealous of Lily because she is a wizard and you are a Muggle without magical powers. You and I are destined to be..."
Before he could finish his words, a fist hit him on the top of the head and Snape almost bit his tongue.
"What nonsense are you talking about."
A slightly stern voice sounded.
Snape turned his head and saw Jiang Li standing behind him with a serious expression.
"Ali!"
Petunia and Lily looked at her with delight.
"You know them."
Snape looked at Jiang Li in shock, feeling as if he had been stabbed in the back.
"You obviously knew I was looking for... why didn't you tell me."
Jiang Li crossed his arms and said, "Who said I didn't tell you? Didn't I tell you before that I would invite Lily and Penny to my house? Didn't you say you didn't want to play with them? And the last time they came, you stayed in the potion room and didn't come out."
Snape choked.
At that time, he didn't know that Jiang Li was talking about Lily. He quickly reacted and looked at Jiang Li with displeasure.
"You are deliberately misleading me. You didn't even tell me who it is."
Jiang Li showed no guilt at all. He looked past Snape and smiled at Petunia and Lily, saying, "He has no ill intentions. He just said something harsh. He's actually a good person. Don't take it to heart."
When Penny heard this, the look she gave Jiang Li became somewhat complicated.
"Ali, are you a wizard too?"
Jiang Li nodded and said, "I am indeed a wizard."
Hearing this, Penny felt cheated. Why were Lily and Jiang Li both wizards, but she was not?
Penny was a little angry. She looked at Jiang Li and said, "You are all monsters!"
Snape's face turned slightly cold and he frowned at Petunia.
"Penny, how can you say that about Ali? She is our friend." Lily said in shock.
Penny regretted what she said, but with so many people watching, she couldn't say an apology.
Jiang Li was not angry.
She bent down, looked at Penny at eye level, and conjured a rose from her hand and handed it to her as if they were meeting for the first time.
"Then may I ask, beautiful Miss Penny, are you still willing to be friends with a freak like me?" She asked Penny sincerely, looking at her.
Penny was stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"I like you very much, Penny, and I don't want to lose you as a friend. Will you accept my flowers?"
Jiang Li lowered his head and said in a lost voice: "I know you said that because you were too angry, but as your friend, it really hurts to hear it."
"sorry."
Penny worked up the courage to apologize.
She found that once she had said her apology, the next words were not so difficult to say.
"I didn't mean to say that to you. I was just too jealous of you guys, so I said that. Can you forgive me?"
"Well..."
Jiang Li pretended to think seriously.
Penny looked at her nervously, like a prisoner waiting for the death penalty.
"Unless you can make me cookies for a week, I will never forgive you." Jiang Li said seriously.
Hearing this, Penny instantly relaxed and nodded seriously.
"Okay, I'll make you cookies for a week."
After the two of them talked, the atmosphere instantly became much more relaxed.
Jiang Li spread his arms, sat on the grass, patted his side, cleared his throat, and said to Lily and Penny: "Maybe some of you would like to sit next to me and listen to me talk about wizards."
As soon as the words fell, Penny and Lily looked at each other, and immediately sat on both sides of Jiang Li, leaning against Jiang Li, looking at her with burning eyes.
"What is the magical world like? Is it different from our ordinary world?" Lily asked curiously, "And what does Muggle mean."
"It's okay. Actually, I think the magical world is not much different from the ordinary world. They have their own advantages and disadvantages."
Jiang Li touched Lily's head and said, "Muggle is a name given by wizards to ordinary people without magic.
Wizards can be roughly divided into three categories: pure-blood, half-blood, and punk.
Pure-blood wizards focus on their bloodline, as their ancestors were all wizards. Half-blood wizards have one Muggle parent, while Muggle-born wizards have both parents being Muggles.
Some pure-blood wizards may discriminate against wizards of other origins, but that doesn’t matter. No matter where you are, ability is the most important thing.”
Hearing the discrimination, Penny glanced at Snape and asked Jiang Li: "Is he also a pure-blood wizard?"
"No, Severus is a half-blood wizard." Jiang Li replied.
"Oh~"
Petunia made a strange sound and glanced at Snape sideways, as if mocking him.
Snape stared back coldly.
Jiang Li also told Penny and Lily about things in the wizarding world, including that little wizards would go to Hogwarts at the age of eleven, that there would be owls delivering letters, and various other common sense.
Lily lay beside Jiang Li and listened with great interest.
Penny listened with longing and loss.
Seeing this, Jiang Li touched her head and said, “Actually, I think the normal world is also good. The phone is much faster than an owl, and it’s not that dangerous.
I think ordinary people are also very smart, with all kinds of magical inventions, and guns can fire much faster than magic wands, and bullets can hit wizards before they even pull out their wands. "
When Penny heard this, although she still envied the wizards for being able to use magic, she no longer felt inferior about it. If she became a police officer in the future, she would also be able to use a gun and would be more powerful than the wizards.
Snape wanted to refute Jiang Li.
A truly powerful wizard is not as incompetent as Jiang Li said.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he received a warning look from Jiang Li.
