Chapter 506 504. They are really two amazing guests
Before receiving that letter, McGonagall was doing the same work as before.
She finished her third-year Transfiguration lesson in the afternoon, listened to Filch rant again about what school rule the Weasley twins had broken last, and finally, just as she was getting ready to go to the Great Hall for dinner, in a Near the foyer of the second floor, she had received the letter that had just arrived from the Hogsmeade Owl Post Office.
The content of the letter was very short, it just said that a student who graduated from Hogwarts a long time ago wanted to leave his alma mater and also wanted to meet the former professors, and now she was in front of the campus gate.
Regarding this, McGonagall didn't think much about it.
There are countless wizards who have graduated from Hogwarts in the UK. It is inevitable that some people will want to return to this castle every year to miss the time when they studied and lived here in the past. Therefore, after receiving the letter, as it should be, McGonagall He turned from the foyer and walked towards the outside of the castle.
Then, through the school gate, she saw that familiar yet extremely strange face!
At the first moment, McGonagall thought of the man who had been dead for more than ten years, but everyone in the magic world knew that no one in that family survived except Harry, not to mention that McGonagall saw it with his own eyes. Arrived Lily's body.
So, the next second she was stunned, she came back to her senses and continued to stare at Lily's face, wondering if she had made a mistake, it was just two people who looked alike.
"Who are you?"
Lily looked at Mag, who looked younger compared to the other world, without so many wrinkles on his face, and no longer haggard, and replied softly.
"Professor, don't you know me?"
Asked by her like this, Mag fell into a frowning silence again, and she looked at Lily again, with sternness and alienation in her eyes.
"Madam, please don't make fun of the dead, especially since she is a great witch, and her son is still living in this castle!"
Lily seemed to have guessed that such a situation might happen a long time ago. She was already prepared, took a deep breath, looked into Mag's eyes, and said sincerely.
"Do you remember when I was in the sixth grade? Professor, I was in a state of confusion at that time. You found me in the girls' bathroom that evening, enlightened me, and told me some truths. I can learn from that paragraph later. out of time."
This is obviously a secret that only Lily and Mag know. After hearing this, Mag's eyes suddenly became shocked and unbelievable!
There has never been a memory that can be concealed forever in the wizarding world. Whether it is Instigmatism or Veritaserum, the memory sleeve can be taken out without the knowledge of the person concerned, but everyone knows that Lily Potter is dead. Fifteen years!
This world has never heard of magic that can extract memories from the minds of dead people.
But in the same way, Mag has never heard of any magic in this world that can really resurrect the dead!
What's more, it's a person who has been dead for so long, and now this "Lily" looks like he didn't die at all, and has lived until now.
By the way, there is also the boy next to her who didn't speak from the beginning, but just stared at Hogwarts Castle with a kind of emotion that doesn't match his age. No matter how you look at it, the relationship between him and "Lily" They are like a mother and son.
Even if Lily survived because of some secret, would she have another child?
Or in fact, James is not dead, this boy is actually Harry's younger brother?
Mag's mind suddenly turned into a mess, and countless thoughts flashed in her heart, but she was actually more inclined to guess whether this "Lily" was pretending to be someone, and she only knew by chance that the former some things.
McGonagall has no way not to think about this tiny hope, but it is actually very simple to prove this point.
She looked at Lily solemnly.
"Since it's a former student coming back, you don't mind meeting the principal of this school again, right?"
Whether it is true or not, there is definitely no way to hide it from Dumbledore's eyes, and even if it is false, no matter what kind of conspiracy this "fake Lily" has, as long as Dumbledore is around, she will not be allowed to succeed.
Going to see Dumbledore, this is what Lily and Jon are looking forward to.
Instead of convincing anyone else, as long as they can convince Dumbledore, there won't be any other trust issues.
The reason why they wrote to McGonagall first was because Dumbledore was very busy regardless of peace or not. He could not guarantee that he would be in Hogwarts Castle every minute. It's different.
Letting McGonagall take them to Dumbledore is undoubtedly a better choice.
Watching Lily accept her proposal, Mag didn't stop, she opened the door.
If Dumbledore was not in the castle at this time, she would definitely not do this, but now that the old man is in the principal's office, of course she doesn't have to worry about anything.
"Follow me, don't go anywhere else alone."
McGonagall reminded seriously, and then led the way ahead, while deliberately avoiding the direction of the auditorium, because Harry was having dinner there at this time.
Soon they came to the door of the principal's office, which was somewhat beyond McGonagall's expectations. Lily and Jon behaved very normally from the beginning to the end, and they did not want to escape halfway, or take the opportunity to do something to the castle It looks like something happened.
This made her heart shake even more.
No one in this world dares to pretend to be Lily to provoke Dumbledore so blatantly. Even Voldemort may not dare to come to Hogwarts to face Dumbledore directly, so...this Lily is really possible?
Finally, Mag gave Lily a complicated look, but Lily just looked at her calmly.
There was a knock on the door of the principal's office, and the next second, the old voice that was very familiar to the three people present came from inside.
"Come in."
McGonagall pushed open the door, and Lily and Jon walked in behind her.
After they entered the door, they saw the old man sitting in front of the office, wiping his crescent-shaped glasses with a handkerchief.
Seeing a living Dumbledore again, Lily finally couldn't help her red eyes, and Jon couldn't help but feel a little sore in his nose.
"Dumbledore, I brought a student who claimed to have graduated from school a long time ago."
Listening to Mag's words, Dumbledore also put on his glasses, and then his blue eyes focused on Lily and Jon.
He looked surprised, thoughtful and puzzled.
"They really are two amazing guests."
