Chapter 40 Testing
"I don't like such childish colors." Snape said with disdain.
"Who said you don't like this color? It's obvious that you liked this color very much when you were seven years old." Jiang Li retorted.
When she was sending little Snape home, they passed by a children's clothing store. Little Snape looked into the store several times and obviously liked the clothes very much.
Later, Jiang Li gave him this suit as a Christmas gift. Little Snape liked it very much and was overjoyed, even though Jiang Li had only seen him wear it once.
Snape recalled that memory. He was really happy at that time, but the clothes had been sold by Tobias.
"I don't like this color now." Snape said calmly.
"You just want to wear something nice. What does it have to do with whether you like it or not? If you like ugly clothes, just wear ugly ones. Why do you need me to match you nice ones?" Jiang Li asked in surprise.
Snape choked.
Finally, under Jiang Li's deathly gaze, he gritted his teeth and changed into this set of clothes.
To Snape's surprise, the outfit didn't look childish.
The light yellow clothes made him look more youthful, while his calm temperament suppressed the childish feeling, making him look particularly outstanding, which made people unable to help but focus their eyes on him.
Jiang Li was very satisfied and felt that his vision was as good as ever.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep, you go play."
Jiang Li waved his hand in satisfaction, yawning and going back to his room to sleep.
"Wait a moment." Snape held Jiang Li, "Come with me to Diagon Alley."
"Can't you go by yourself?" Jiang Lisheng said helplessly.
"No, it's too slow for me to go by myself. You Apparate me over there." Snape looked at Jiang Li and said.
"You can let Mia take you there. She can also teleport." Jiang Li said unhappily.
"She's not suitable," Snape retorted.
"What's inappropriate?" Jiang Li asked back.
Snape looked at Jiang Li and held his breath for a long time before uttering a word.
"With you by my side, I can mobilize all my magic power."
Jiang Li asked doubtfully, "It's been almost a year, and the magic power of my blood in your body hasn't been integrated yet?"
"It's integrated, but it will be better used when you are here." Snape said calmly.
Jiang Li felt that something might have gone wrong, but after fiddling with it for so long, he wasn't sleepy anymore, so he simply tied his hair into a ponytail, changed into a light yellow jacket and went out.
The two people's clothes were too eye-catching, and when they entered Diagon Alley, many eyes were cast on them.
"Sif!"
Lily's happy voice rang out.
Jiang Li realized that the Evans family had all arrived. Mr. Evans was wearing a well-fitting suit. When he saw Jiang Li, he smiled friendly.
Mrs. Evans, who was standing next to them, was wearing a burgundy dress, and Lily was also wearing a new dress. Only Penny looked out of place. She turned her face away and looked into the distance with mist in her eyes.
Jiang Li walked over and asked Penny with concern: "Penny, what's wrong with you?"
Lily immediately helped answer, "Just now when I was in the car, I dropped my sandwich on the seat. Dad thought it was Penny's fault and scolded her."
"It's not like Penny dropped the sandwich, so why is it her fault?" Jiang Li asked in confusion.
"Dad said that if Petunia hadn't played with me, I wouldn't have brought the things back." Lily replied, feeling a little sad.
She felt that it was not Penny's fault, but her parents would not listen to her explanation at all.
Mrs. Evans explained with an embarrassed look on her face.
"Penny is usually quite naughty at home. She always likes to bully her sister. If I say a few words to her, she will be unhappy."
"I never bullied Lily!"
Penny yelled in grievance.
It's obviously not her fault. Why do you always blame her?
"Okay, stop yelling outside."
Mr. Evans' face immediately turned stern, and he felt that Penny was embarrassing him in public.
He turned to Jiang Li and said warmly: "My eldest daughter is a little naughty, please understand."
Penny wanted to say something, but Mrs. Evans pulled her and gave her a stern look.
Even Snape, who disliked Petunia, couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this scene.
The smile on Jiang Li's face also faded a lot.
"I think Penny is a very sensible child. If my future child is like Penny, I will be very happy. How can I think she is naughty?" She said, looking at Mr. and Mrs. Evans.
"Petunia's personality is a bit dull. You won't feel that way after getting to know her for a long time. Lily is cuter." Mrs. Evans said subconsciously in a disparaging manner.
When Penny heard this, she bit her lip hard to prevent herself from crying.
"Mom, how can you say that about Penny? Penny is obviously a very nice person." Lily said unhappily.
Hearing this, Mrs. Evans immediately agreed with Lily: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything about your sister. Lily is such a good sister. She even knows how to protect her sister outside."
Mr. Evans also looked at Lily with a pleased expression.
The couple's bias was so obvious that even Snape was silent. No wonder Jiang Li spoke up for Petunia that day.
Seeing that Penny was about to cry, Jiang Li said to Mrs. Evans, "Severus has been to Diagon Alley before and knows where you can buy what you need. Let him go with you. Penny and I will walk around the area."
"Is this...too much trouble for you?"
Mrs. Evans was somewhat moved, but she still said something polite.
"It's no trouble. I really like being with Penny." Jiang Li said with a smile.
Hearing this, Mrs. Evans immediately told Petunia, "Petunia, just accompany Miss Malfoy around the area and don't cause any trouble for her."
Penny wanted to say that she was not causing any trouble, but when she met Mrs. Evans's stern eyes, she knew that it was useless to say anything, so she just remained silent.
Seeing her so dull and not saying a word, Mrs. Evans felt a little unhappy.
Lily is still lively and cute, just like a little angel.
Seeing this, Jiang Li pushed Snape forward and said to him, "Let's go buy school supplies together."
She also winked at Snape, signaling him to seize the opportunity.
"Penny, let's go get ice cream together. There's a delicious ice cream shop nearby."
Jiang Li pulled the lost Penny and squeezed towards the store with the largest crowd.
As soon as Penny left, the Evans couple seemed to have gotten rid of a burden and they felt much more relaxed.
Mrs. Evans smiled at Snape and said, "I often hear Lily mention you. She said you are a very good little wizard. I will ask you to take care of Lily at school in the future."
Snape smiled faintly and said, "I will."
Mr. and Mrs. Evans were very interested in the wizarding world and asked Snape many questions.
Mr. Evans saw a potion shop and asked Snape, "If you become a potion master, you should be able to make a lot of money."
"A Potions Master is the same as a Potions Doctor in the Muggle world," Snape replied.
Doctor is a very promising job in the Muggle world.
"Lily said that you are great at making potions and you will definitely be a potion master in the future. It would be great if Lily could find a boy as outstanding as you to be her husband in the future." Mr. Evans said with pretended sadness.
Snape instantly guessed what he was thinking, and for some reason, felt annoyed.
He said to Mr. Evans: "Lily is very smart. She can become an excellent potion master through her own efforts."
