The number of new wizards enrolled this year is at least one third less than last year.

After the sorting hat went through the process, the proportion of students sorted into Slytherin House was much higher than in previous years.

Since Wenxiu Lord participated in OWL last school year, he was separated from Severus and others after school started this year and sat in the head seat of the sixth grade.

With his chin propped up in boredom, Wenxiu Lord sat there for no more than three minutes before running back to Severus.

The reason is simple: Slytherin allocates seats according to family influence and strength.

Those who could sit next to Wenxiu Lord were naturally mostly children from aristocratic families.

Eighty percent of these students have Death Eater parents.

After hearing their parents' warnings, these students were so cautious in what they said and did when facing Voldemort that it was like they were meeting Voldemort himself.

They all showed perfect elegance, their backs were straighter than the back of the chair behind them, and Wenxiu Lord had to look up whenever he wanted to see any boy's face.

Although Wenxiu Lord knew that there was still a two-year time difference, he was still unhappy.

He was unhappy, the habits he had developed during this holiday at Malfoy Manor wanted to control him and bend the backs of those around him.

But it was not convenient to take action in public for no reason, so Wenxiu Lord could only return to Severus in annoyance.

As the Slytherin now, he has the final say and can sit wherever he wants. Even if he sits at the last chair at the end of the long table, no one dares to say anything.

And when he left, everyone was happy.

Those sixth graders no longer straightened their backs, breathed louder, and even their food tasted more delicious than usual.

The empty seat next to him welcomed his owner back, and Severus's expression returned to normal as he removed the dessert that appeared in front of Wenxiu Lord.

We didn't see each other often during this holiday, and no one cared how much sweets he ate.

Now that he was back at Hogwarts, Severus would naturally let him take control.

Wenxiu Lord missed his behavior very much, but for the first time he did not complain.

After dinner, Wenxiu Lord went straight back to the dormitory.

Tom Riddle had been tormenting him every night these days, causing him to be seriously sleep deprived.

After eating and drinking, I started to feel sleepy. When I arrived at the dormitory, I fell directly on the bed and fell asleep.

Severus saw that he had eaten a lot tonight, and he also knew that he had a bad habit of getting sleepy after eating.

Instead of waking him up, she walked to his bed, took off his coat, shoes and socks, picked him up, moved him to the center of the bed and covered him with a quilt.

The fire was lit again in the quiet room, Severus changed his clothes and sat on the sofa, reading a book accompanied by the breathing of the silver-haired boy, feeling peace in his heart.

Without anyone to disturb him, he and Wenxiu Lord were the only ones in the room, just like they were before.

It makes people nostalgic and happy.

Although the first day of school was mainly focused on the new wizards, students from other grades were equally busy.

Barty Jr. promised Vince Lord that he would work in the Ministry of Magic in the future, and Regulus also had his own industry.

On the first day of school, it is inevitable to chat and socialize with classmates.

When the two men finished their work and returned to the dormitory to change their clothes, they knocked on Wenxiu Lord's dormitory door.

Wenxiu Lord was sleeping with a warm and rosy complexion.

The sound of bones hitting solid wood was neither loud nor soft, but it was enough to elicit a reaction from the sleeping silver-haired boy.

The even and long breathing sound paused, replaced by the friction sound caused by the boy turning over.

Severus frowned, marked the book in his hand, put it silently on the coffee table, and stood up to open the door.

Barty and Regulus, who had been waiting at the door for a while, were not surprised that it was Severus who opened the door.

The two men smiled hypocritically in their own ways, and were ready to enter the house without even saying hello.

Blocking the two people's way, Severus turned around and saw that Wenxiu Lord was not sleeping well. He took two steps forward and closed the door to prevent the cold air from the corridor from pouring in.

The three of them stood in the corridor before Severus spoke, "Wen Xiu is resting. If you two have anything to do, come back tomorrow."

Hearing that Wenxiu Lord was resting, the two had to suppress the longing for him that had already overflowed in their hearts.

The smile on his face disappeared, and little Barty turned and left without even giving Severus a glance.

Regulus didn't leave immediately, "I want to see him, you can't stop me."

There were not only the two of them in the corridor, there were also people passing by who were about to return to the dormitory.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two of them, the students were no longer surprised.

After all, he is the only one who can control the people around Wenxiu Lord.

When he was not around, these people could be considered harmonious as long as they did not take direct action.

The little wizards lowered their heads and pretended to be deaf and dumb, but their steps were faster and bigger than each other.

He was afraid that the two would start fighting and he would be affected.

There was a silent confrontation between the two. Severus's face looked unhappy, but his hand moved to put away his wand.

"Don't make any noise. Get out of here after you've seen me. Otherwise I'll cut you into mummies and slice them into pieces."

Regulus neither nodded nor argued, but followed him into the room with a cold expression.

Both of them walked lightly, careful not to disturb the sleeping boy.

Standing by the bed, Regulus's eyes were gentle and affectionate.

He loves the person in front of him so much that even if he just looks at her, his heart will be softened.

Every second he realized he was in love with Vinciu Lord he thought how much better it would be if he wasn't Regulus Black.

That way he can fight.

Instead of being like now, helpless and unable to let go.

Severus, sitting on the sofa, seemed to be reading a book, but in fact all his attention was on Regulus.

Seeing that he was actually just standing by the bed and watching, a barely perceptible hint of sarcasm appeared on Severus' expressionless face.

He was mocking Regulus, and also mocking himself.

Who doesn't know what Regulus feels for Wenxiu Lord?

But in the two years since he entered school, he actually just followed Wenxiu Lord and kept his feelings hidden from the silver-haired boy.

Just for his stupid idiot brother.

But if you think about it carefully, what is the difference between him and Regulus?

He, Regulus, everyone who loves Vinciu Lord.

They stood at the same starting line, blocked by the high wall erected by Wenxiu Lord, and never took a single step forward.

Bitterness spread, and Severus used the brain-occlusion technique to suppress the turbulent emotions, and his deep dark eyes became empty and lifeless.

Regulus knew that he was being watched by Severus, but he seemed unaware and was lost in thought as he watched the silver-haired boy sleeping.

The boy lay on his side, curled up or hugging himself.

Regulus could even imagine what he looked like when he held Sirius in his arms, how he looked like curled up in the adult's arms.

Just imagining it made Regulus jealous and hateful.

He should leave, he won't be able to control himself if this continues.

But his legs seemed to be frozen as if they had been hit by a bullet and he couldn't move an inch.

It turned out that his soul was addicted to Wenxiu Lord. Every contact with the boy was like drinking poison to quench thirst, which only made him fall deeper and deeper.

Regulus warned himself in his heart, 'That's enough, you should turn around and leave.'

My hand involuntarily rose up, reaching for the only antidote to the pain in my heart.

The fingertips were unable to move forward just when they were about to touch the silver-haired boy.

The cowardice deep within Regulus bound up the freedom that Sirius placed in his heart, and together they bound him to the spot.
