Chapter 102 Rumors
The tip of the pen tilted slightly and scratched the paper.
Snape was uneasy for a moment, looking at Lily unhappily and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? There is nothing between Gardenia and me."
"So you haven't confessed to Ali yet?"
Lily's beautiful green eyes were filled with curiosity, "I thought you two were already together."
"...Why are you the same as that idiot James Potter? There's no way I could be with Gardenia. She doesn't like minors at all." Snape said with a sullen face.
"So when you come of age, you two can be together?" Lily asked.
"Why are you so sure that Gardenia will be with me? She has her own choices too, and she may not necessarily be with me."
Snape tore off a page of paper, and his eyes darkened slightly when he thought of the scene yesterday.
"Because Ali treats you differently. She only jokes with you."
Lily looked at Snape and raised a question that had been accumulating in her mind for a long time.
"Why do you always call her by her Christian name and not Ali?"
Ali obviously sounds more intimate.
Snape stopped writing and said calmly, "I don't like this word."
He had read the meaning of this word when he was learning Chinese.
Li: means to separate, to part, and also means to suffer.
No matter which explanation it is, it is not a good one.
He didn't know why Jiang Li insisted on having others call him by this name. Anyway, he didn't want to call her that. He thought Gardenia was fine.
Lily held her chin with both hands, looked at Snape with longing and said, "So Gardenia is your nickname for Jiang Li?"
Snape: "..."
Sometimes he felt that Lily's train of thought was difficult to understand.
Jiang Li has been very busy recently, with more and more people under him, but there is still no smart person who can really manage these people.
She planned to ask the newly graduated Quinton Ellis to be an administrator. Although he was young, he had good grades in school, and because he was a half-blood, he did not become a Death Eater.
The two stood at the edge of the woods near the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch.
Jiang Li leaned against the tree trunk, closed his eyes and listened to the other party's report.
"The new materials have been delivered to the warehouse in the east, but there are still a lot of vacancies for low-level sales staff, and we need to recruit. Our partner Abraxas Malfoy passed away last night..."
Hearing this, Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes.
The mottled sunlight fell on her through the leaves, varying degrees of brightness.
He died anyway. Jiang Li thought Abraxas could hold on until Lucius graduated.
Sensing Jiang Li's mood changes, Ellis said slowly: "Mr. Malfoy's memorial service will be this Saturday. I guess there will be many people from pure-blood families attending. Do you want to attend?"
"I understand, you continue to report." Jiang Li said lightly.
I didn’t say I would go, so I’m not going.
Ellis couldn't figure out what the boss was thinking, so he tried his best to tell Jiang Li the information he had received.
After listening, Jiang Li opened his eyes and looked at Ellis and said, "That's all. What about the Death Eaters' movements?"
"They have been gathering in a mysterious manor recently. I don't know what they are doing, but it seems like they are planning a riot." Ellis answered seriously.
Hearing this, Jiang Li lowered his eyes and thought, then felt a slight darkness above his head, so he looked up.
Ellis held a dead leaf in his hand above her head. When he met her gaze, he looked a little nervous.
"I saw a leaf falling from your head, and I wanted to help you take it off."
The sunlight fell softly on him, like a golden veil slowly falling down, outlining his face that was between youth and maturity. His skin looked more delicate under the touch of the light, as if revealing the luster of youth. A hint of gold danced on the ends of his hair, making Ellis's already thick black hair look even more vibrant.
Jiang Li looked at him calmly and said, "Thank you, but I can do this kind of thing by myself. I hope Mr. Ellis can keep his distance from me. I don't like mixing work and emotions."
Ellis didn't expect Jiang Li to be so perceptive. A hint of disappointment flashed through his mind, but he quickly returned to normal.
"Sorry, I didn't think about it that much. I will pay more attention next time." He said seriously.
Jiang Li threw a bracelet to him and said slowly: "Your next work is in it. You can contact me through the bracelet."
Ellis looked at the bracelet in surprise and said, "Is this the thing that can enter the [Second World]? If I enter, I will meet students from Hogwarts."
"No, I have set an age limit. You are too old and cannot meet them." Jiang Li explained slowly.
"You are amazing." Ellis exclaimed.
He had also heard about the "Second World" from students at Hogwarts, and had always regretted that he graduated too early and had no chance to see it.
I didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to contact him now.
Jiang Li pulled the corner of his lips.
It seems that this manager is very good at pleasing her superiors, but I don’t know if she is smart enough. If not, it will be troublesome to replace her.
This scene was seen by students passing by, and it became that she was looking at Ellis tenderly, with the sunlight shining just right on the two of them, just like two lovers gazing at each other affectionately.
Professor Malfoy has a boyfriend!!
The news came from nowhere, but spread like the wind to every corner of Hogwarts.
When Jiang Li heard about this from others, he was filled with questions.
When did she get a boyfriend? How come she doesn't know it?
Elena also handed Jiang Li a photo that was secretly taken by someone unknown.
In the photo, Jiang Li and Alice stood together. She looked at Alice tenderly, and the love in her eyes was so strong that it could squeeze water out of it.
"...My eyes are so affectionate?" Jiang Li asked in surprise.
She was just looking at Filch and Mrs. Alice in the distance, not even paying attention to whether Ellis was okay or not.
"Aren't the professor and this person a couple?" Elena asked.
"No, he's not my type." Jiang Li said.
"So what type do you like?" Elena asked in a low voice, looking at Jiang Li's face.
"I like good-looking things." Jiang Li said.
"But Mr. Ellis is also very handsome." Elena replied.
"He's okay, but a little greasy." Jiang Li commented seriously.
She likes people who are more sincere and less thoughtful.
Elena didn't know what she was thinking of, and asked softly, "So...what do you think of Snape?"
"He's fine." Jiang Li answered without hesitation.
The children she raised must be the best.
"Then you like..."
Before Elena could finish her words, Jiang Li turned around and walked out.
Feeling something move inside his robe, Jiang Li took out a communication crystal ball with the Malfoy logo on it.
It's Lucius.
"Professor Malfoy, can we talk somewhere?"
Lucius's deep voice came out from the crystal ball.
"Of course, let's go somewhere to talk." Jiang Li said slowly.
After waiting for so long, I finally came to see her.
