Harry, who was originally angry, froze, his expression a mixture of surprise and confusion, along with other emotions.
A mix of emotions made Harry's head buzz.
Snape and my mother were childhood sweethearts, but his own father was the other woman?
How could this be? They must be lying to themselves. Yes, they are lying to themselves.
Chapter 319 Tricking Lockhart
With a cold snort, Hao Yun ignored Harry's trio and turned to leave the restaurant, returning to his dormitory.
Not long after Hao Yun left, Harry also ran out; he was going to find Dumbledore.
Upon arriving at the headmaster's office, Harry inquired about the relationship between his mother and Snape.
Harry was stunned when he received Dumbledore's affirmative answer. No way! It was actually true!
“Harry, don’t overthink it. The person Hao Yun resurrected with that prop wasn’t your mother at all, but just a soul with Lily’s memories.”
With Dumbledore's encouragement, Harry gradually accepted the fact, but he still couldn't help wanting to see his mother.
After leaving the headmaster's office, Harry arrived at Snape's room, looking dejected.
Standing outside the door, Harry wanted to knock, but he raised his hand several times and then put it down.
"Since you're here, come in."
Snape's voice came from inside the room, and Harry lowered his head and pushed the door open to go in.
The virtual image of Lily looked at Harry with curiosity.
"You are my child? It's incredible."
Lily stood in front of Harry, gently stroking his cheek with her right hand, and said softly.
"Your eyes look a lot like mine."
Snape looked at the mother and child in front of him with mixed feelings, unsure of what to say.
"I'm so sorry, I just look a lot like your mother, but unfortunately I'm not your mother. If you want to see me, you can come to me anytime."
Lily was very gentle; she knelt down and patted Harry's head.
Through self-study, the Lily that Hao Yun created is now a sentient being with normal thoughts.
Having experienced confusion, the soul found itself and no longer believed that it was the Lily that once existed.
"Really?"
Harry looked at the person in front of him who looked exactly like his mother, and tears streamed down his face.
"Of course it's true."
A maternal glow appeared on Lily's face. Although she was not Lily, she still had Lily's memories.
Snape felt a pang of jealousy, thinking to himself why Harry wasn't a girl; if he were, he would definitely resemble Lily.
With the virtual Lily by his side, Snape's hatred for his past was no longer so deep, and he even showed more tenderness towards Harry.
If Hao Yun were here, he would definitely say, "Truly a master of simping."
"It's late, go back and rest."
Snape kicked Harry out of the room. Lily gave Snape a reproachful look before crawling back into the projector.
The next morning, Harry went to apologize to Hao Yun.
"I'm sorry, I acted impulsively yesterday. Please forgive me."
Harry was accompanied by Ron and Hermione.
Hao Yun glanced at the three of them, hummed in agreement, and walked into the restaurant.
Fred and George waved and pulled Hao Yun down to sit before asking him questions.
"Resolved?"
Hao Yun nodded and casually picked up a basket of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).
"That's good. By the way, we're planning to play a trick on Lockhart. Do you want to join in?"
Fred and George had long disliked Lockhart; he had no skills whatsoever and was just a braggart.
“George and I caught a Bolt in the Forbidden Forest yesterday, so we’re going to use it to scare him.”
Hao Yun looked at the two of them in surprise. Bolt was a rare magical creature, and they actually managed to encounter him.
"How did you catch him?"
"Easy, caught them in one bag."
When this was mentioned, Fred and George couldn't help but burst into laughter.
When Bolt met them, it was like a failing grade; they easily captured him.
Bolt, this magical creature, will become the thing people fear most.
The twin brothers' biggest fear was failing their exams, because they would be yelled at by their mother for the entire holiday if they went home.
"Where is Bolt? Take me to see him."
Hao Yun desperately wanted to know what he was afraid of.
"Let's go now. We'll have Defense Against the Dark Arts class in a bit, and we need to go back and get Bolt."
The three of them slipped out of the restaurant and returned to the Gryffindor common room.
Fred crawled into the bedroom and took a cloth bag from under the bed.
"Bolt is inside. Be careful, don't let him get away."
Hao Yun nodded and opened the cloth bag.
A cloud of black mist emerged from the cloth bag, circled around Hao, and kept changing shape, but never changed form.
"What's going on?"
Fred looked completely bewildered, as did George, who stood beside him.
A dozen seconds later, the black mist dissipated, and a slime landed in front of Hao Yun.
It stared at Hao Yun with its big, adorable eyes, wondering why this person felt no fear.
"No way! This is Bolt's true face?"
Fred was dumbfounded. This adorable mollusk was actually Usain Bolt!
"It seems so."
Hao Yun squatted down and poked Bolt with his hand; it was soft and bouncy.
Unconvinced, George stepped forward and snatched Bolt away, instantly turning Bolt into a test paper with a score of 0.
"Hopefully this thing will scare Lockhart. Let's go."
Fred stuffed Bolt into a sack and pulled the two of them outside.
"Would you like to come to class with us?"
Hao Yun thought for a moment. He only had one class in the morning, which wouldn't conflict with Fred's class, so it wouldn't hurt to go and check it out.
"Can."
After receiving Hao Yun's reply, the two grabbed Hao Yun and ran towards the classroom.
Fred arrived at the classroom early and placed the cloth bag on the table.
"When Lockhart arrives, just tell him it's a gift from us, and he'll definitely open it."
Fred and George sat in the front row of the classroom, their faces full of anticipation.
Ten minutes later, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class officially began, and Lockhart arrived late, dressed in a flamboyant outfit.
"I'm sorry, everyone, I'm a little late. I ran into people asking for my autograph on the way, so it took me a bit longer. I think you can understand."
Lockhart flashed a charming smile, instantly captivating the girls in the class.
Hao Yun, sitting in the front row, couldn't help but admire Lockhart's skill in dealing with women.
Standing in front of the lectern, Lockhart looked at the bag on the table and smiled slightly.
"Was this a gift from one of my classmates?"
Fred raised his hand and shouted.
"That's right, this is a gift we prepared for you!"
"Thank you all for your kindness, but I don't really need any gifts."
Lockhart smiled and opened the bag, and Bolt popped out.
In an instant, Bolt transformed into an old woman, hunched over, glaring angrily at Lockhart, and roaring loudly.
"Why? Why did you use the Oblivion Spell on me? Why did you steal my experiences?!"
The sudden change startled Lockhart, turning him pale and causing his pupils to contract.
The little wizard below looked at the old woman standing on the lectern with a puzzled expression.
"No! Those are my memories."
With a startled cry, Lockhart raised his wand to cast a spell, but failed several times.
As for the old woman who was actually Bolt, she jumped off the lectern and pressed him relentlessly.
Suddenly Lockhart realized something was wrong! The old woman whose adventures he had stolen should be in South America.
"You're fake!"
As a Ravenclaw graduate, Lockhart is quite intelligent.
"Hilarious! Hilarious!"
Bolt quickly shrank into a bouncy ball and bounced on the ground.
