Chapter 81 Visit
Jiang Li raised his hand to make a fist and put it to the corner of his lips. He looked at Snape with a touching face and said, "Severus, you are so good to me. I want to be your good friend for life."
Snape: "..."
I always feel like something is not right, but I can't put my finger on it.
The two sat in the coffee shop for more than ten minutes, and Snape saw a familiar figure appear in the crowd.
"Sorry, something delayed me on the way, but I don't think I'll be late."
Dumbledore gave the two of them a kind smile.
"There are still five minutes until the agreed time. You are not late."
Jiang Li gave the daisy ring he made to Dumbledore and said, "This is your gift."
Dumbledore glanced at the flower headband on Jiang Li's head, then at the daisy bracelet on Snape's hand, and took the very simple flower ring.
"Did you make this? It's beautiful." Dumbledore praised.
Jiang Li smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. I spent a lot of time weaving this ring."
Dumbledore: "..."
Seeing that the old fox also suffered a setback, Snape wanted to laugh.
The bakery at the corner of the street has just finished baking, and the whole street is filled with the aroma of bread.
Jiang Li patted the petals on her skirt, looked towards the bakery across the street, and said to Dumbledore, "Would you like some butter bread?"
Seeing that it was Jiang Li who wanted to eat, Dumbledore said, "Muggle food? I am indeed a little hungry. Do you want to buy some?"
"Yes, I'll go buy you some bread. Wait here and don't move. I'll be back soon."
Jiang Li walked through the crowd happily and entered the bakery opposite.
Looking at her lively back, Dumbledore said with emotion: "What a beautiful scene. Gardenia is always full of enthusiasm for life."
Hearing this, Snape looked up at Dumbledore and said seriously: "In fact, she is a very good alchemist."
Dumbledore nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, she is extremely talented in alchemy. Few of her peers are as good as her."
"I think she can be the professor of alchemy at Hogwarts," Snape suggested seriously.
He still didn't want Jiang Li to stay at home alone next semester.
"Didn't Gardenia tell you?" Dumbledore looked at Snape in surprise, "I have invited her to be the professor of Alchemy. She will continue to teach at Hogwarts next school year."
Snape: "..."
He was fooled again. He shouldn't have believed Jiang Li's behavior of playing the victim.
When Jiang Li came back with the bread, she saw Snape looking at her with dead eyes.
She looked at Dumbledore questioningly.
What happened? She just bought a loaf of bread, why did she change her attitude?
Dumbledore explained innocently, "We were just chatting about the fact that you will be the professor of Alchemy next school year."
I didn't expect the lie to be exposed so quickly. It's not fun at all.
Jiang Li looked at Snape with a sly smile and asked, "Are you angry?"
Snape: "..."
Kind of sucks.
He closed his eyes and didn't want to look at Jiang Li, but was afraid that she would dig out his eyes, so he immediately opened his eyes and saw Jiang Li's hand reaching out to him.
"What do you want to do?" Snape gave Jiang Li a death stare.
Jiang Li immediately changed his actions, and helped her adjust her collar with one hand, pretending to be puzzled and asked: "Why is your collar sticking up?"
Snape watched her pretend quietly.
Jiang Li took out a piece of bread and stuffed it into his hand, trying to cover his mouth.
Dumbledore, who was standing next to him, watched the way the two of them interacted with great interest.
"You two have a wonderful relationship," said Dumbledore.
"Of course." Jiang Li smiled and started talking nonsense, "Severus is my husband who I raised since childhood. He will marry me when he grows up."
Snape was eating bread and almost choked to death when he heard this.
Dumbledore looked at the two of them in shock, then showed a relieved expression.
"You two are indeed a good match. It's great to be young and still be able to experience the beauty of love."
"Cough cough cough."
Snape was almost choked to death by what the two said.
Jiang Li put his arm around Snape's shoulders and continued talking nonsense.
"Thank you for your blessing. I really hope we can go to the end."
Snape's cheeks felt alarmingly hot.
Even though I know Jiang Li likes to talk nonsense, I just can't control the imagination of certain scenes in my mind.
"Don't listen to her nonsense, she's joking." Snape said with a stern face.
Hearing this, Dumbledore looked at him meaningfully and said, "Well, it turns out that they are all fake."
Jiang Li glanced at the time on his pocket watch and said to Dumbledore, "Let's go."
Dumbledore led the way and brought them to the fireplace of a pub.
He said to Jiang Li and Snape, "The address is 33 rue Montmorency in Paris. Don't make a mistake. If you send it to the wrong place, it will be troublesome to find it back."
Dumbledore grabbed a handful of high-grade Floo powder, read out the location, and disappeared in a ball of green flame on the map.
"It's okay, you won't get lost." Jiang Li said to Snape, "I will find you no matter where you are."
She made a positioning on Snape's protective bracelet. When Snape was in danger and the defense effect was triggered, Jiang Li would be able to sense his location.
"If you really can't find it, you can do something life-threatening." Jiang Li suggested sincerely.
Snape, whose heart was just touched: "..."
He pretended not to hear the following words.
The two of them grabbed a handful of high-grade Floo powder and read out the address.
Jiang Li arrived after Snape, and when she stood in the fireplace, the two men were waiting for her in a flower shop.
She was a little surprised, as she thought she could be teleported directly to Mr. Nicolas Flamel's home.
Seeing her confusion, Dumbledore explained, "A special formation has been set up at Nico's residence. We cannot enter using Floo powder. We can only go nearby first and then Apparate over."
Jiang Li nodded to show his understanding.
After all, she also set it up like this near her residence, so no one can find the location of her residence without her permission.
Under the guidance of Dumbledore, Jiang Li and Snape successfully passed through the magic barrier.
This is a very sophisticated formation, and Jiang Li couldn't help but stay at the barrier for a while longer.
This was a well-maintained residence. Jiang Li saw many blooming flowers outside the house. They were blooming so gorgeously that when she walked by, her skirt seemed to be stained with the fragrance of flowers, and there were butterflies flying around the artificial flowers on her skirt.
From a distance, I saw an old lady wearing a retro shawl holding a sprinkler and watering the flowers.
When the old woman saw them, she smiled gently.
"Albus, you're finally here. Nico knew you would come and has been waiting for a long time."
Perni Lope looked at Jiang Li with a very kind look and said, "You must be Gardenia, right? I've read some of your ideas about alchemy, they're very interesting."
Jiang Li recognized the person in front of him immediately and was somewhat excited to be praised by such a famous alchemist.
She looked at Perni Lope and said modestly, "My attainments in alchemy are still too low. I still need your guidance."
"Good boy, you don't have to be modest. When Nico and I were your age, we didn't have as deep an understanding of alchemy as you do." Pernilope looked at Jiang Li with a kind look in her eyes.
