Chapter 71 "Lucius"
During the entire Christmas holiday, Jiang Li was researching and making a soul trap, and finally he made it before returning to Hogwarts.
On the way back, Jiang Li and Snape were waiting on the platform, and many little wizards passing by greeted Jiang Li.
"Sif, Ali!"
Lily's brisk voice came from a distance.
Jiang Li raised his eyes and saw Lily running towards them. He threw himself directly into her arms and was knocked back two steps.
Snape looked at Lily and frowned, "You ran too fast."
Hearing this, Lily stuck out her tongue playfully, and then started talking about the vacation happily.
"I heard from James that the school will hold a dance on Valentine's Day, and everyone in the school can participate."
"prom?"
Snape frowned slightly, recalling a not-so-nice memory.
"Yes, Mom said she would prepare a very beautiful dress for me." Lily looked at Snape and said happily, "Would you be my dance partner?"
"I'm not going to the ball," Snape replied.
"Why? Can't you dance?" Lily asked curiously.
"The ball is boring and there is nothing to do. I don't think you should waste your time on such things." Snape said in a light voice.
Lily couldn't understand how anyone could not like a dance.
Snape looked at Lily and asked seriously, "Did you study during the holidays? How is your progress in Potions class?"
Lily, who had been relaxing during the holiday, felt her scalp numb and a huge pressure when she heard these words.
"Lily, I think you should focus on your studies. Although your grades in Potions are very good, you shouldn't slack off." Snape said seriously.
The smile on Lily's face completely disappeared.
Seeing that the child was about to cry, Jiang Li patted Snape on the head and said, "Okay, not everyone likes potions as much as you do. It's normal for people to relax and enjoy life occasionally."
She looked at Lily and said, "Say goodbye to your family, we're getting in the car."
Lily felt as if she was freed. After saying goodbye to her family, she got in the car and kept talking to Jiang Li, refusing to talk to Snape.
"Ali, how about you be my dance partner?"
Snape, who was reading a book by the window, paused slightly when he heard this and did not turn the page.
"Okay, we'll dance together then." Jiang Li answered without hesitation.
She had no expectations about who her dance partner would be, and if Lily didn't ask her out, she probably wouldn't go to the dance.
Snape turned the pages slowly, not listening to them anymore.
Back at Hogwarts, the young wizards were visibly excited, and many of them began inviting dance partners.
There were even many senior students who invited Jiang Li to be their dance partner, but she rejected them all.
It's okay for her to kill people, but she really can't dance.
She just wanted to trick the remaining soul out of the crown.
"Are you sure this is Lucius' hair?"
Jiang Li held a strand of light blond hair in her hand, looked at Snape and asked, "Where did you get this hair?"
"I met him this morning and saw some fallen hair on his robe, so I pretended to help him pat his clothes and took it away," said Snape.
This length, color, and the rich smell of rose softener on it can only be achieved by Lucius himself.
Jiang Li thought so too. After all, there were not many people with this hair color in the school.
She put her hair into the Polyjuice Potion and watched the color of the potion gradually turn into golden color.
"Hmm...why don't you try this?"
Jiang Li humbly pushed the Polyjuice Potion in front of Snape.
Looking at the Polyjuice Potion bubbling inside, an expression of disgust appeared on Snape's face.
When he picked up the polyjuice potion and was about to drink it, Jiang Li grabbed his hand.
Snape looked at Jiang Li in confusion.
Jiang Li sighed and said quietly, "Your acting skills are so bad, you will definitely not be able to fool those residual souls."
Voldemort's remaining spirit is very smart. If she goes to throw the trap again, she will definitely be discovered that something is wrong, so someone else has to go.
Jiang Li studied it and felt that Lucius was a very suitable person to throw this thing away. It was normal for a famous pure-blood wizard from Slytherin to go to the Room of Requirement to throw away some unwanted things.
"Are you sure it's okay to use Lucius' face?" Snape asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, if it doesn't believe me, I have other ways to kill it. This is just an experiment." Jiang Li said calmly.
If the remnant soul is not obedient, she will destroy the Horcrux and see whether the remnant soul wants to change the carrier.
Jiang Li drank the compound decoction in one gulp, his face twisted slightly, and he felt the concentrated Houttuynia cordata juice stuffed into his throat, making him feel nauseous and want to dig his throat to spit out what he had just drunk.
The next second, her face shape began to change, her cheekbones became high, her eyes turned gray-blue, the overall lines of her face became hard, her body began to shrink, and her clothes tore because she could not withstand the changes.
Snape turned his face away subconsciously.
Jiang Li's expression was a little cracked.
This dress she wore today was her favorite, but she didn't expect it to be torn and the smile on her face disappeared.
She changed into a Slytherin robe and walked out with a sour face.
Snape saw Jiang Li coming out with Lucius's face on his shoulders and asked him, "Do I look good?"
"...It looks good." He said somewhat unwillingly.
It was so weird to see Lucius' tough face wearing a white gardenia hat.
Jiang Li then remembered that her top hat was still on her head and took it off. Her hair fell loosely on her chest, making her feel a little uncomfortable.
She looked at the silver-green bow tie on Snape's chest and reached out to untie the tie around his neck.
Snape looked at Lucius's face and felt that he was molested by Lucius. He almost couldn't help but punch Jiang Li.
"Don't move."
Jiang Li saw Snape reaching out his hand and thought he was going to stop him, so he hit the back of his hand and took off his tie.
Snape's collar suddenly became loose, and his collarbone could be vaguely seen underneath.
Looking at "Lucius" tying his tie on his hair into a bow, he gave him a cunning look.
"Does it look good?"
Lucius asked with a grin.
Snape: "..."
In his lifetime, he had never imagined that Lucius would have such a disgusting expression on his face.
Seeing that Snape was successfully disgusted by him, Jiang Li felt relieved.
The invisibility spells they cast often led them in the direction of the Room of Requests.
"Meow~"
When the two turned the corner of the stairs, they heard a cat's meow.
Then a small gray and black kitten ran out, with Filch chasing after it with a dim lantern in his hand.
"Mrs. Norris, have you found any students who violated the school rules?"
Mrs. Loris tilted her round head towards Jiang Li, then rolled on the ground, making a babyish gurgling sound.
He must have smelled the scent on Jiang Li.
Filch thought it was acting coquettishly towards him, and its bulging eyes softened a lot. He squatted down and touched Mrs. Norris's belly.
Jiang Li reached out and poked Snape's waist, signaling him to leave quickly.
While Filch was still not reacting, the two quickly ran upstairs and entered the Room of Requirement.
As soon as he came in, Jiang Li felt someone was watching him. It should be that remnant soul.
She lifted the Disillusionment Charm and imitated Lucius, frowning with a look of disgust.
"Why is there so much garbage here, Severus? Are you sure no one will find you hiding your things here?"
Snape also lifted the Disillusionment Charm and said with a straight face, "Absolutely no problem. No one will come here. Even if they do, they won't find our things in the garbage mountain."
Hearing this, Lucius's frown relaxed slightly and he took out the soul trap he had prepared.
She found that as soon as she took this thing out, the residual soul fluctuations attached to the crown immediately became stronger.
