Chapter 69 He Wasn't Expected

Lily immediately raised her hand and answered, "Sif gave me a doll. It's a limited edition doll that I wanted to get. He is always thoughtful."

Hearing this, Penny became even more curious about what Snape gave Jiang Li.

"I sent her a potion," Snape replied.

"Just one potion?"

Even Lily looked at him in surprise. Lily thought that the gift Snape gave to Jiang Li would be more special.

Petunia looked at Snape with a hint of disgust, as if to say: That's it?

"That's not an ordinary potion. It's a new potion I developed that can remove wrinkles and preserve youth." Snape replied slowly.

If Jiang Li hadn't said this before, he wouldn't have studied such flashy things.

Hearing this, Jiang Li also remembered what he had said as a joke to little Severus before. He didn't expect that Snape would remember this and even make the potion.

No wonder he had been tinkering with something behind her back lately, it turned out to be for her Christmas gift.

"Have you tried the effects of this potion?" Jiang Li asked curiously.

Lily also stared at him with curiosity.

"I tried it with the dean, and it worked pretty well," Snape replied.

When he found Professor Slughorn and said he wanted to test the efficacy of the medicine, Professor Slughorn was very happy and tried it with great dedication.

Jiang Li suddenly realized.

No wonder Slughorn looked decades younger recently and walked with a breeze.

She thought Slughorn had brewed some wonderful potion and wanted to ask him for it, but she didn't expect it to be a potion made by Snape.

"Do you plan to improve the way this potion is sold?" Jiang Li asked Snape.

Snape frowned slightly, "I don't want to make this boring potion every day."

"You don't need to make it. You just need to make the steps simpler. I can help you negotiate cooperation with Abraxas. You only need to provide the prescription, and someone will handle the making and sales of the potion. You just need to take the patent fee." Jiang Li said seriously.

"Does anyone want something this flashy?" Snape frowned.

"Of course, the market for this drug is beyond your imagination."

Jiang Li was deeply distressed when he saw Snape guarding the golden mountain without realizing it.

"If you don't know how to operate, you can leave this matter to me. I will handle it for you, and you only need to give me a small commission."

"No need." Snape said calmly, "All the money earned from this potion will be given to you. It was originally a gift for you."

Jiang Li felt that he didn't understand the value of this medicine, so he explained to him seriously how crazy people are in their pursuit of beauty. You know, the medicines with beauty effects on the market are not cheap, and their sales are extremely high.

"My conservative estimate is that if your potion sells well in the market, you can earn at least 10,000 gold galleons a year, which is not a small amount."

Lily's eyes widened. Did potions make so much money? It seemed that she had to take her potions lessons more seriously.

"I don't need so much money. Anyway, you have the key to my vault, so just keep it safe." Snape said without blinking.

Anyway, the things were all given to Jiang Li, and he really didn't think they had any practical use.

Hearing this, Lily covered her mouth and looked at the two of them with a silly smile.

Petunia was a little surprised and her opinion of Snape changed slightly.

I didn't expect that he wasn't a gigolo.

Jiang Li didn't think too much about it. He nodded and said, "I'll just take the part that belongs to me. I'll save the rest for you. You can ask me for it anytime if you want it."

She wasn't the kind of person who would covet Snape's money.

"Don't count my share, these are all yours." Snape looked at Jiang Li seriously and said.

"Okay, let me put it here first."

Jiang Li nodded casually, not taking it to heart.

She invited Lily and Penny to have lunch. Mia had learned a lot of new dishes recently. Lily was very envious and also wanted to raise a house-elf, but it was unlikely.

In the afternoon, Snape and Lily went to the Potions Room to study, and Jiang Li and Penny did some chemistry research.

Everything was fine. The two girls went back home early to spend Christmas with their family.

"Would you like to go out and watch the fireworks show?"

Jiang Li put on a white windbreaker and invited Snape.

Snape looked at the hand she extended to him, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"Excuse me, Miss Malfoy, do you have a second choice for me?"

"No." Jiang Li tied a scarf around his neck and said with a smile, "If you don't go, I will secretly cut your herbs."

Snape: "..."

He knew it.

The two went to the nearest street, where the treetops were covered with decorations and there were many children running among the crowd.

Snape stood outside, helping Jiang Li block the crowded crowd. He watched her standing at the stall and looking at the trinkets with great interest. Her light-colored hair was stained by the color of the light.

"boom!"

A huge explosion sounded in the sky.

Brilliant fireworks bloomed one after another in the sky, lighting up the entire night sky, and everyone subconsciously looked up at the sky.

"It's a pity that I didn't have time to set up the magic circle this year and can't catch the happy moth."

Jiang Li walked to Snape's side at some point and looked at the fireworks in the sky with regret in his voice.

"It doesn't matter. There will be opportunities in the future." Snape looked at the colors reflected in Jiang Li's eyes and asked, "Have you been researching alchemical items related to time recently?"

"How do you know?" Jiang Li asked in surprise.

"I saw the Time-Turner on your desk," Snape replied.

Jiang Li did not hide anything and expressed his thoughts.

"Do you remember I told you that it is impossible for two identical souls to exist in the same space and time?"

Snape was slightly stunned, then nodded slowly and said, "I remember, if it wasn't for the other Severus, I wouldn't be here."

“I used the sacrificial formation to summon the dead Sifu back into my body, but for some reason, something went wrong and he didn’t come back.

I checked a lot of relevant information, and I found that Sif might not be dead, and he still has some of my energy, which is very likely to be active in another timeline of space and time."

"So, you did this research on time for seven-year-old me?"

Snape stared at Jiang Li's handsome face, feeling indescribably complicated.

He felt like a thief, shamelessly stealing Jiang Li's love and care for another person, and he didn't dare to say it out loud.

"Yes, after all, it was my negligence that caused this accident." Jiang Li answered without thinking too much.

Without waiting for Snape's reply for a long time, Jiang Li turned his head and met Snape's eyes full of complicated expressions.

She looked at Snape with amusement and said, "Why do you look like that? Did I say something wrong?"

"Feel sorry."

Snape's voice had the crispness of a teenager, like a bottle of green apple soda opened on a summer night, with a hint of sourness.

He looked at Jiang Li and whispered, "If only I hadn't come here, you wouldn't be disappointed."

Someone else must be better at pretending to be seven-year-old Snape than he was.

He was an unexpected existence.
