After leaving Floating City, Lily and Snape went straight back to their homes.

Although Snape still had no expression on his face, everyone could feel that he exuded an aura of joy.

After teleporting home, Snape asked her, "Are you going to have a showdown with him now, or wait a little longer?"

"There's no point in dragging it out."

Soon, James·Potter rushed into the room. He was very excited when he heard that his wife was back. After all, for him, the two had been separated for more than three years.

However, when he saw "Slug" following behind him, drinking tea slowly, the smile on his face instantly froze.

The anger in James's heart suddenly surged up. Fortunately, a magic item he bought specially for this reunion came into play immediately and cast "Mechanical Mind Charm" on him, forcibly calming down his emotions.

"Dear, are you okay?" James stepped forward to hug his wife and sat down next to her. Lily responded with a smile.

For James, it was only three years apart; but for Lily, she spent a long 91 years in another universe.

If the powerful soul hadn't given her perfect memory, she might have even forgotten what her husband looked like. Not just him, maybe even the rest of the family couldn't remember clearly.

"I have something to tell you," Lily said. Her tone made James instantly alert and had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.

He is right.

"After careful consideration, I have decided to add Snape to our family."

"What? You can't do this!"

"Legally, she can," Snape interjected.

"You, shut up!"

Snape The veins on his forehead popped out, and the teacup in his hand was almost crushed. But he still restrained himself.

"What about our home? What about Harry?"

"Harry is already an adult, he will understand," Lily replied calmly.

"I can't accept it!" James stood up and yelled, "It can't be him!"

"The door is open, you can leave at any time," Lily pointed to the door. James took a small step back, obviously not expecting this result.

He activated the magic item again and forced himself into a calm state.

"I don't understand why? Why did you do this? Is it because he Resurrection ed you? Have you forgotten the terrible things he did? It was because of him that we died in the first place!"

Looking at her husband in pain, Lily sighed.

"I know the difference between love and obligation very well. As for those things that happened in the past, let them pass."

"No, that doesn't convince me. You have to give me a valid reason."

"I don't need to give you any reason," Lily's voice became colder. This made James feel a little scared, but also made him calm down a little.

Snape on the side felt happy.

This poor bug had no idea that he was facing a woman who had faced the Tenth Tier god and came back alive.

"I'm sorry. I just want to know why you made this decision," James's tone softened.

Lily stared at him for a few seconds. After confirming that he was really asking the question, his tone softened a little:

"If you insist on an answer, it's because I love him."

"But it's impossible. It wasn't like this before."

"Yes, but as we spend more and more time together and see how much he cares and loves me, I slowly develop the same feelings. And in the future, we will go to more world adventures together and spend more time together, and our love will only continue to deepen."

James gritted his teeth. He knew that Snape found some way to delay Resurrection in order to spend more time with Lily, thus winning her heart.

What made him Wrath even more confused was that Lily knew this clearly, but still forgave him.

The worst thing is that these two people belong to Special Action Group, who will follow His Majesty the Emperor on adventures deep into the universe, which means that they spend much more time together than James can imagine.

And as far as he knew, this kind of adventure was by no means a one-off.

Countless emotions surged through James's mind, and he didn't know what to do. Finally, he said:

"I need some time to digest all this. However, I hope you will tell Harry."

Watching her husband leave, Lily could only sigh alone. Then, she contacted Harry.

At the same time, Snape was secretly happy like a little girl, although his face remained calm.

However, he still felt a little regretful. He really wished that bastard had just attacked him, so that he would have a reason to beat him into pieces.

After all, James is just a weak Fourth-Order Arcanist, and he is already two levels higher than his opponent.

It's a pity that Lily will never allow me to do this. I can only dream.

As for sharing your love with the person you hate the most, Snape doesn't mind.

Because he knows that with their travel across Multiverse and their work together in Illuminati, his time with Lily will be far longer than James.

Mars, a certain bar

Two people are drinking. One of them has green eyes, glasses, and a scar on his forehead.

The other man was tall, with red hair and some freckles on his face.

"Ron, I really don't know what to do with Little James. This is the eighth time this month that he has been arrested for disorderly conduct, the eighth time!"

Harry drank the wine in the glass in one breath, feeling the alcohol rushing through his body.

"Do you know how embarrassing this is for me? As the son of the Secretary for Justice, he always gets into trouble. I just took over this position from Kingsley, and this kid is causing me this kind of trouble."

"Maybe that's the problem, you're treating him too much like a child. Throw him into the army, that'll fix his problem," Ron suggested.

"He is an adult, I can't force him."

"You are just too soft-hearted."

Harry sighed. He understood why his son was like this. His other two children both have extremely high magical talents.

Albus graduated from Honor Program and is now working as an intern with a tower owner.

Lisa has also just been admitted to Bones Higher Magic School.

At home, only James had to go to an ordinary magic university because Harry didn't want to use his connections to get him into a prestigious school.

Because of this, James fell in love with Envy and began to become rebellious.

"Didn't you buy him the expensive level five Dragon Blood Potion?" Ron asked.

"Buy it. We thought that by improving his talent, he would go back to the right path and focus on magic research. But nothing has changed. He is still the same."

Ron doesn't know how to comfort his good friend because he has no experience in this area.

He has only one son, and he is very satisfied with his son.

Although Hugo did not enter Honor Program, he graduated from Bones Higher Magic School with excellent results. After that, he joined Imperial Navy as an officer and is currently performing very well.

As for himself? Ron's life has been going very smoothly these past few years.

With the discovery of Battle Aura, people discovered that he was extremely talented in the sub-profession "Aura Cultivation Master", so he focused on it.

In addition, while in school, he was also found to have talents in military strategy - this is one of the reasons why he is good at Wizard Chess.

Therefore, the school focused on cultivating his talents in this area. After graduation, he joined Military Strategy Department. Recently, he was promoted to an upper-middle-level position.

"Did you watch Hagrid's new book signing event?" Ron tried to change the topic.

"Obviously, his new book on Magizoology has made him famous in that circle again."

"Yes, I met him a few days ago."

"How is he?"

"He still doesn't like dealing with those fans and autographs. According to him, wearing formal clothes is more uncomfortable than being bitten by a dragon."

"He's still the same, it's great. I remember when the professor - I mean His Majesty the Archon - forced him to go to school to receive formal education. Now, he is already a top expert on Fantastic Beasts and alien species."

"I wonder why he hasn't become the tower master yet?"

"Strictly speaking, he already is. It's just that he doesn't want to stay in the laboratory all day. He prefers to study those magical creatures in their natural habitat."

"I'm sure Madame Maxime is not happy about this."

"I think she should be used to it by now."

The two then laughed and continued drinking.

"Who would have thought that one day we would see Hagrid get married and have children."

"Yes, this world is really wonderful, but--" Harry suddenly stopped mid-sentence, and he felt the watch on his wrist vibrating.

After taking a look and realizing it was his mother, he immediately set his watch to privacy mode. This meant that he could communicate directly through souls, and no one would hear their conversation even in this noisy bar.

"I have to go home."

"What happened?"

"No, it's just that my mother wants to talk to me about something."

After saying goodbye, Harry teleported to the nearest teleportation area, and then returned to Earth through Warp Gates.

After paying the fee, he teleported directly back home because his mother had given him space permission at home.

After hearing his mother's decision, he was not surprised because he had expected this day.

When he was growing up, it was Snape who really stayed with him, not his father.

When his father Resurrection, he thought that his mother might eventually be separated from his father.

In his opinion, his mother's choice to stay with his father was more out of sympathy and pity.
