Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 621 Withered Tree Comes Back to Life (First Update)

"I'm so sorry, Ms. Foster. I... I just lost my composure!"

In the Hogwarts Headmaster's office, after an awkward silence, Professor Snape, usually so assertive and strict, stammered an apology to the witch across from him who looked remarkably like Lily.

At this moment, Snape was in a very awkward situation.

He burst into tears while embracing the witch he was meeting for the first time, and only after calming down did he realize that he had made a mistake because he was too excited.

But you can't blame him for that. This witch from America looks so much like his beloved Lily, how could he not lose control of his emotions?

"It's alright. You've already explained that it's because I look very much like your friend who passed away many years ago that you mistook me for him. That's understandable, that's understandable."

Lily Foster smiled and replied.

She really didn't care much, after all, besides holding her and crying, Headmaster Snape really didn't do anything.

To be honest, she was a little uneasy after hearing from the wizards at the Leaky Cauldron yesterday that Headmaster Snape was not an easy person to get along with.

Unexpectedly, the actual Headmaster Snape was actually quite sentimental.

She could truly feel the deep, heartfelt emotions that Headmaster Snape had for his deceased friend.

It even had a certain impact on her psyche.

At that time, she thought that if there really was someone who could still have such strong feelings for her more than ten years after her death, that would be a very lucky thing.

So from a woman's perspective, she actually quite admires men like Snape.

"That's good."

Snape breathed a slight sigh of relief, then couldn't help but secretly look up at Foster across from him.

"They look so alike! Absolutely so alike! How could they possibly look so alike!"

Although it had been confirmed that this Ms. Foster was not Lily, who had been dead for over a decade, Snape still couldn't resist going to see her, simply because she looked so much like Lily.

There are many people in the world who look alike, but it is really rare to see people who look so alike.

Not only are their facial features similar, but even their hair and eye color, as well as their height, are exactly the same as those of the deceased Lily.

Of course, if you look closely, you can find the differences.

First, Foster and Lily have slightly different skin tones. Foster's skin is a healthy tan, suggesting she's often in the sun, while Lily's skin is fairer.

Secondly, Foster appeared more mature physically than Lily was in his memory, and had a better figure, probably due to regular exercise.

Finally, regarding accents, Lily has a London accent, while Foster has a very standard New York aristocratic accent.

Snape didn't know that the two people from twenty-three years ago were indeed exactly the same, because Lily Foster was cloned by Jerry using Lily Evans' genes.

However, their different life experiences have led to significant differences between them now.

Lily Evans attended Hogwarts, married James after graduation, gave birth to Harry, and became a wife and mother. In the end, she died at Voldemort's hands while protecting Harry.

Lily Foster studied at Ifamoni and traveled the world after graduation, often venturing into remote forests to collect herbs for making potions, which is why her skin is darker and her figure is better.

Lily Foster is now 34 years old, at the peak of her maturity and charm, while Snape remembers Lily Evans as 20 years old, just coming of age.

In terms of outward personality, due to different life experiences, there are naturally great differences.

Lily Evans was more idealistic when she first graduated, while Lily Foster, having traveled the world and run businesses, has experienced a lot and is more mature in her thinking.

Therefore, apart from her unchanging kindness, Lily Foster and Lily Evans are not actually the same person.

"Mr. Principal, may we begin?"

Foster, amused, noticed that Principal Snape was staring at him blankly again and offered a gentle reminder.

Snape was startled and hastily averted his gaze:

"Yes, yes, let's talk about the potions professor's salary. If you think it's suitable, you can stay in the castle dormitory tonight."

"Headmaster, don't you need to test my knowledge of Potions?"

Upon hearing Snape's words, Foster was taken aback. How could the interview have already entered its final stage before it even started?

Snape blushed upon hearing this and quickly replied:

"I have reviewed your resume, Ms. Foster, and I believe your abilities do not require further evaluation."

In fact, before the other party even arrived, he had prepared more than a dozen difficult potion-making questions, just to test whether the other party was all talk and no action.

But for some reason, he had subconsciously forgotten about it just now.

Regardless of whether the other party has enough strength, he probably hopes that the other party can stay at Hogwarts.

Foster chuckled:

"I never expected the principal to have so much faith in my abilities; I feel very honored."

Looking at Snape, who was blushing, Foster suddenly felt that this headmaster, who was usually very strict, was actually quite cute.

"So, Ms. Foster, what do you mean?"

A hint of anticipation involuntarily flickered in Snape's eyes.

Foster picked up his briefcase and chuckled:

"Of course, no problem, Principal. You see, I've already brought my suitcase, so if it's convenient, could you please take me to my dormitory later? I'm not familiar with this place yet."

"Of course, of course."

Upon hearing Foster's definitive answer, Snape's tone clearly betrayed a sense of joy.

"Looks like there's a chance!"

Just as Snape was having a pleasant conversation with Foster and leading her away from the headmaster's office toward the teachers' quarters, a figure emerged from the office.

It was Jerry, who had also arrived early in the morning but had been secretly watching from the sidelines.

Having gone to so much trouble, he naturally wanted to see how it went.

Fortunately, judging from what just happened, although there were some minor mishaps in their first meeting, it was generally a good one.

Based on his careful observation, Jerry felt that Foster's opinion of Professor Snape was fairly good, and Professor Snape's fondness for Foster was quite obvious.
