Chapter 139 Because It's Me
"Severus, why do you have two rings on your fingers?"
When Barty first saw the ring on Snape's hand, he thought he was seeing things.
He looked back again and was almost blinded by the large diamond ring on Snape's finger.
When Barty saw Snape wearing a ring before, he thought it was strange.
After all, Snape is usually very low-key and doesn't seem like someone who would wear jewelry.
As a result, there was suddenly a huge diamond ring on her hand, which was so gorgeous that it was blinding and it was hard not to notice it.
"It's the engagement ring my fiancée gave me." Snape said casually.
"It turned out to be an engagement ring."
Little Barty suddenly realized, and then his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Propose? Your fiancée proposed to you?"
Usually only the person being proposed to wears the ring.
"Ah."
Snape responded indifferently, but if you look closely you can see that the corners of his mouth are slightly raised and there is joy in the corners of his eyes.
"Why are you engaged so early? Is it a family marriage?" Little Batty asked puzzledly.
He had never seen Snape being particularly close to any girl.
Snape had a good relationship with Lily Evans from Gryffindor, but she already had a boyfriend and it was impossible for her to get engaged to Snape.
"It's not a family marriage." Snape said slowly.
Hearing this, Little Barty became even more curious, "Is he a student of Hogwarts?"
He didn't see Snape have any contact with people outside the school. If he was interacting with people outside the school, there should be a lot of correspondence, which can be seen from the frequency of owl delivery.
“Not a student of our school.”
Snape looked at Barty, who couldn't help but be curious. He folded the paper on the table and said calmly, "When I graduate, you will know who it is."
Little Batty: “…” This is even harder to guess.
Although Snape didn't deliberately show it, anyone could see how he felt.
When class was about to start, Lily noticed the huge diamond ring on Snape's hand.
The main reason is that the diamond on the ring is so big that it is impossible not to notice it.
She sat down next to Snape, holding her book.
Tiffany and Lily were next to each other, occupying another seat.
James rushed over to class excitedly and saw Lily talking to Snape. His face instantly became long.
He sat behind Lily and looked at her back with a resentful look on his face.
"Sev."
Lily's eyes sparkled, and she looked at Snape with excitement and curiosity in her voice and said, "The ring on your hand is so beautiful..."
"What's the use of being beautiful? You can't eat it."
Before he could finish his words, James's resentful voice came from behind him.
Lily's words were interrupted, and she turned her head and glared at him angrily.
James immediately smiled brightly and said, "Do you want it? I can buy you one exactly the same."
"No, don't interrupt others. It's very rude." Lily said unhappily.
James immediately lay on the table unhappily, like a puppy being taught a lesson.
"What's the big deal? I can buy a ring for myself." James whispered.
"You can't afford it with your pocket money, right?"
Sirius, who witnessed the whole thing, interjected, "The ring on his hand is very expensive, and there is a magic circle engraved on it. It costs at least 100,000 gold galleons."
James: "..."
Damn, when did this guy become so rich?
He glared at Snape even more resentfully, wrote and drew on paper with a pen, and eavesdropped on their conversation with his ears perked up.
"Sev, did you buy this ring?"
"No, I received an engagement ring."
"Oh, so it's an engagement ring...wait, what did you say!!"
"proposal ring!"
"proposal ring!"
Several eavesdroppers cried out in surprise.
When the others heard the noise, they all looked in their direction curiously.
The shock on Lily's face had not yet subsided. When she heard the voice behind her, she turned around and saw two people with even more shocked expressions than her.
James was livid with jealousy.
"Someone actually bought a ring for a slug."
Why didn't anyone buy it for him!
Obviously he also has black hair and black eyes, nothing less than a slug.
"..."
Sirius looked at him speechlessly and said, "Isn't it the point that someone proposed to him?"
"It's just a proposal, there's nothing to be proud of."
James snorted disdainfully. After half a class, he suddenly realized what was going on and shouted in disbelief, "He was actually proposed to. Who was so blind as to propose to him?"
All eyes were on James.
Professor McGonagall's face turned dark at the podium, and she quickly walked to James.
"Mr. Potter, please don't make any loud noises in class. You can discuss the gossip after class is over."
James was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. Only after seeing Professor McGonagall's death stare did he calm down a little.
He shut his mouth awkwardly, waited for Professor McGonagall to walk away, then immediately poked Sirius in the heart with his elbow.
"Who proposed to Snape anyway?!"
James lowered his voice and screamed at Sirius the Groundhog.
This guy actually got a fiancée faster than him! Unforgivable!
"I don't know." Sirius shrugged.
In fact, he was quite curious about this matter. After all, there had never been a member of the opposite sex around Snape.
"No, Lily and I are going to get married right after graduation. We absolutely cannot lose to him."
James gritted his teeth and stared at Snape's back and said, "Sirius, help me think of a way to propose successfully."
No one responded to his words.
James was a little unhappy. He turned around and saw Professor McGonagall standing next to him with a stern face.
Sirius was pretending to be listening attentively.
"Mr. Potter, please go to the trophy room after school," said Professor McGonagall.
Hearing this, James sat in his seat helplessly.
Blame the slugs!
After class, Lily chased after him.
"Sifu, is this the wedding ring that Ali gave you?" she asked in a low voice.
"Do you think I could marry anyone else besides her?" Snape asked back.
After getting a positive answer, Lily couldn't help but smile.
She turned around and ran to talk to Tiffany. The two of them held hands and jumped up and down excitedly several times, with happy smiles on their faces.
Snape: "..." Why are they more excited than me.
He thought about what he had just said and there was nothing special about it.
Although Snape is relatively low-key, the diamond ring on his hand is too dazzling.
In less than a day, the entire Slytherin knew that Snape was engaged.
Lily knew about this but didn't tell anyone, so everyone was guessing who the candidate for the fiancée would be.
At this moment, Jiang Li was listening to Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore discussing the content of the competition.
As a result, the two of them talked about Snape's students.
"I heard that students are guessing who his fiancée is. Do you know who she is?" Professor McGonagall asked Jiang Li.
"I know." Jiang Li said.
Professor McGonagall looked at her curiously.
Jiang Li showed the ring on his hand and said with a smile: "Because his fiancée is me."
Dumbledore's blue eyes flashed with a gleam of light, an expression that said, "As expected."
Professor McGonagall thought she was joking. After all, Jiang Li liked to talk nonsense occasionally. She praised him, "Your ring is very beautiful and suits you very well. I haven't seen you wear it before. Is it new?"
