Of the 10 items that came out of the spinning wheel, 4 of them left me speechless.
(Hey sugar daddy, are you an undercover agent sent by Lily Evans? How could these things be of any use to me and Severus? I'm afraid Severus will give me a 'Divine Strike Without a Trace'.)
[Jin: Host son, think about it, the more Severus develops feelings for Lily Evans now, the more guilty he'll feel about what he did to you when he regains his memories.]
(I think what you said makes a good point, sponsor!)
I rolled my eyes in exasperation, but I felt that if I sent Lily Evans anything now, I would be disliked by the Church of Stan more and more. If it weren't for the fact that my favorability rating wouldn't drop, I wouldn't dare to do this.
(Dear sponsor, can I still travel through time with my target, Severus Snape?)
[Jin: Host son, it's no use, the time travel of the target Severus Snape has been shut down.]
(That's what Severus finally said to Lily Evans, and it led to her death.)
Kim: Yes.
Seeing the bouquet of lilies that had been turned out, I took out a pen and paper and wrote a card on the table.
"Mumu." After writing the card, I called out to my house-elf Mumu.
"Dear little wizard Ayers, what do you need Mumu for?" With a 'snap', Mumu, who was working in the kitchen, appeared in my dorm room.
"I'm sorry, Mumu, I have a bouquet of flowers I'd like to give to Professor Snape. Could you please deliver it to him for me?" I pointed to the bouquet of lilies with a card attached on the table.
"Okay, Mumu is happy to help you." Mumu was more than willing to help me with this small favor, and with a 'snap', Mumu left.
In Slytherin's cellar, Severus was grading papers. Ever since Ayers Hall stopped helping, he had been so busy that he hadn't had time to think about that wretched little troll.
Moreover, he didn't know what was wrong with him during this time. He just didn't want to see that troublesome little troll. But every day when he saw the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff little trolls surrounding him, he felt uneasy. So he simply stayed in the cellar and didn't want to go out.
However, every day, Ayers would have the house-elves of Mumu deliver three meals to him. Although the little troll no longer appeared in front of him, it seemed as if his presence was always present.
“Excuse me, Professor Snape, young wizard Ayers asked me to deliver this to you.” While Severus was lost in thought, Mumu suddenly appeared in front of him.
"This..." Seeing the bouquet of lilies in Mumu's hand, Severus initially wanted to refuse, but upon seeing the flowers, the words of refusal stuck in his throat. "Just put it on the table. If there's nothing else, you can leave."
Severus put down his pen and, after Mumu left, walked out of his desk and sat down at the tea table.
To Severus Snape
I think you'll like it, so please accept it.
Ayers Hall
It was a very ordinary sentence, but Severus suddenly had a scene in his mind where he and Lily Evans were chatting during their school days. At that time, there was a very lonely figure who silently turned and left while they were talking. That figure, shrouded in mist, made his heart ache just looking at it.
He came to his senses, held the lilies and looked at them carefully. In the past, seeing lilies would always make him feel a pang of heartache.
Today, he didn't feel that way anymore. Instead, looking at the card written by Ayers, he felt uncomfortable.
"What is this?" Severus used his wand to cast the levitation spell, moving a vase to the tea table. He then poured the spring of life into the vase with the 'Clear Water Like a Spring' spell and placed lilies inside.
After finishing all that, I went to grade the little monsters' homework, but my previous frustration gradually subsided.
[Gold: Ding—A bouquet of lilies has been gifted to Severus Snape, the target of your romance strategy. Completed.]
Rewards: 10 Bond Points, 10 Experience Points, 10% Memory Unlock, 1 Luck Point, 10 Galleons
So that's how you use the prizes from this lucky draw! I suddenly received a pop-up message from the sponsor, and now I think I understand a bit better.
After Mumu left, I headed towards the Ravenclaw common room. I didn't have any classes this afternoon. After class this morning, Cedric confessed his feelings to me, so I hadn't yet made my plan to go to the Ravenclaw common room. So, I continued on my way.
The Ravenclaw common room is located on the top floor of the tower, or more precisely, at the top of the spiral staircase on the west side of Hogwarts, roughly on the 5th floor, with a large door outside fitted with a bronze eagle-shaped door knocker.
To enter the lounge, you must answer the logic riddle posed by the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker.
If you answer incorrectly, you won't get a second chance. You'll have to stand aside and wait for someone else to answer correctly before you can go in together.
But I don't think I should be standing at the door in such a miserable state. Besides, if I can't answer the questions, I probably won't be able to get in. I don't think the students from Ragnarok would welcome a Slytherin student.
To get into the Ravenclaw lounge, you'll have to answer questions yourself.
As I climbed the spiral staircase, I could feel the tower's antiquity and solemnity with every step.
The walls were adorned with portraits of Ravenclaw alumni, their sharp gazes fixed on us as if scrutinizing our worthy entry into this sacred place.
Finally, I arrived at the door of the lounge.
The door is made of oak and is carved with an eagle with outstretched wings, as if welcoming us.
There was an oil lamp on each side of the door, its light flickering in the darkness, giving a sinister feeling.
“Say your name,” Eagle Head said.
“Ayers Hall,” I said.
"Why did you go into the Ravenclaw lounge?" Hawkhead asked.
“I want to gain more knowledge and would like to borrow Ravenclaw’s books.” I smiled at the eagle-headed creature.
“Ravenclaw always welcomes young wizards who seek knowledge,” said Hawkhead, “but you must answer my questions correctly before you can enter.”
"Please speak," I said, becoming much more serious as I awaited Eagle Head's question.
"What can allow people to see the past and the future?" Eaglehead asked.
I stood at the entrance of Ravenclaw, head down in thought. Behind me, several young Ravenclaw wizards appeared, watching the spectacle. As Ravenclaws, we were used to seeing such things every day. This was the first time I'd ever seen a Slytherin snake come here to answer questions.
This is truly amazing. Eagle College welcomes anyone from other colleges who can gain admission through their own abilities. They welcome those who pursue knowledge; it's a form of recognition, in a way.
"It's memory." After thinking for a while, he finally answered.
“You’re right,” Eaglehead said. “You can go into the lounge now.”
The young wizards from Eagle School who were watching the spectacle from behind also gave applause.
"Excuse me." I turned around and greeted them with a smile. They nodded and followed me into the Ravenclaw lounge.
