HP heard I should be a Death Eater

Today's Christmas dinner is still at Lestrange's house.Unlike last year's banquet at the Malfoys', Lestrange only invited Death Eaters, so of course there would be quite bloody activities at the banquet, which they called "the fun game".Signus was in the middle of a group of crazy dark wizards, keeping a distance from everyone indifferently, until he was called to his side by Orion Black, he had no choice but to behave better.

"I heard that Abraxas was sent out?" Orion avoided the acquaintances around him, found a remote location, and asked in a low voice.Even if the Dark Lord himself acquiesced to Lucius' so-called mission, he was still full of doubts about it.

Signus didn't know whether his father was suspicious of the Malfoy family on a routine basis, or if he had learned some news, so he replied calmly: "I didn't see him at Malfoy Manor."

Just because he didn't see anyone didn't mean he was on a mission.Orion was still skeptical, but because he had no way to prove it, he had no choice but to reluctantly believe the official explanation from the Malfoy family—Abraxas had gone on a mission.Damn mystery mission!If others don't know, how can he not know?Recently, there is obviously nothing worthy of trouble for Patriarch Malfoy to go there in person.

He originally only planned to let Signus stay at Malfoy's house for a few days and go home with him after Christmas, but considering that if something really happened to Malfoy's house, Signus would continue to live in Malfoy. The manor is better.If there is any problem with Abraxas, it is best for someone in the Black family to know the first time, so that no matter if they want to help or make trouble, they can seize the opportunity.

Orion thought so, and didn't feel that Signus would hide anything from his father if he discovered anything.It's a pity that he didn't expect that Signus had never concealed from his parents, but when he chose to hide it, it would not be seen at all.

This Christmas holiday, Signus was very comfortable at Malfoy Manor, and his Christmas present naturally appeared here.Early in the morning on the second day of the banquet, Lucius saw his friend yawning and appeared in the living room, and the first thing he did was to look through the Christmas presents.

"If you're looking for this year's new broom, I've asked Dobby to put it there." Lucius pointed to the long, separate box next to it, which was a gift from Mr. Black.Orion may not know the eldest son as well as he thinks, but you can never go wrong with a broom.

Of course, Signus went downstairs early in the morning for something that was not expected like a broom. He rummaged through all kinds of exquisite gift boxes, and finally found the most common one, which seemed to be a free box from the store.The shiny wrapping paper on the outside of the box is a pain in the eye.

Lucius raised his eyebrows: "Snape?"

"That's why he will use the free packaging." Signus ripped open the packaging in twos and twos while disgusted.The box was not big, and there was a row of potions neatly placed inside.Signus randomly took out a bottle, turned it over and looked at it again and again: "He didn't put a label on it?"

"He probably wants to test whether you have forgotten all about Potions." Lucius said gloatingly.

Signus raised his forehead and could only carefully put the bottle back.

"Siegel." Lucius called him before he left with the box in his arms: "The vacation is almost over."

Signus was puzzled: "I know."

"Is there anything you want to tell me?"

This question is very strange, Signus narrowed his eyes and looked at Lucius, and asked sensitively: "Why do you ask that?"

Lucius shrugged: "It's nothing." He smiled suddenly, as if he felt that his question was really strange, but Signus saw the cover-up from that smile.

"You can ask what you want to ask directly, no matter what the question is, I will answer it." Signus said.

Lucius opened his mouth and sighed again for a long time: "We are friends, aren't we?"

"of course."

"no matter what happens?"

"Whatever happens." Signus looked at him. "That's really what you want to ask?"

Lucius smiled: "That's all for now."

"Okay." Signus was helpless, and went back to the room with the box in his arms.

On the other side, Hogwarts Castle was under heavy snowfall. Looking out from the Gryffindor tower, there was only a vast expanse of whiteness between the sky and the earth.For the Slytherin house under the Black Lake, the cold and the scenery of the snowy day have nothing to do with them.After Snape got up, he was still facing the deep blue lake outside the window, and the warm coal fire in the fireplace.

He walked out of the room, went under the Christmas tree in the common room, and looked through the cards on the presents one by one.This kind of insignificant thing to most people is full of ritual sense here.He likes the feeling of receiving gifts.

This year's presents were much more than last year's, and Snape thought some of them should belong to Andromeda, but when he went through all the boxes, he found that all of them belonged to him.

Does anyone remember that there was one more Slytherin staying in school this year?Snape raised his head suspiciously, just in time to meet Andromeda's gaze.The other party seemed to want to go out, and had no intention of approaching the Christmas tree at all.

The meaning in Snape's eyes was so obvious that Andromeda couldn't help laughing, and said, "Isn't there a gift from me? This is quite normal."

"Uh..." Snape said awkwardly, "Maybe they sent it to Black's house."

Andromeda twitched the corners of her mouth sarcastically: "Don't comfort me, I know what kind of people Slytherins are. Now they want me to get out of here quickly, so why would they give me a Christmas present?" She said and looked at Glancing at Snape, "Even you don't like me very much, do you?"

Why do I have to like you?Snape thought, ignore her and start unwrapping the presents on his own.He expected Signus to give away the ancient Potions books in his family's collection as ordinary potions books like last year, but he was greatly disappointed. This year, Signus sent a set of dresses.

"It's not as bad as you think." Andromeda didn't know why she hadn't left yet, so she just looked at him and said, "The threshold for making this suit is extremely high, and most people can't buy it even if they have money. Woolen cloth."

Snape took a look at her, cast a Levitation Charm on all the Christmas presents, and carried them back to the dormitory.

There was one more person in Slytherin House during the Christmas holidays. Although Snape didn't like this person, he was still optimistic that it would be good to have one more person. At least the common room would not look gloomy because it was too empty.However, Andromeda didn't know what was wrong, except for meal time, she hardly left the door of the dormitory.Occasionally meet and never say hello, making the already deserted atmosphere very awkward.

Who does she think she is?If you want to ignore people and ignore others, if you want to ease the relationship, others have to cooperate with her?Anyway, Snape thought, her way of being a lady would not work in her place.

During the last few days of the holiday, Andromeda made no attempt to speak to Snape, and the two continued to live their lives without conflict.The dining room of Hogwarts is very large, and the students staying in other colleges choose to gather and eat together, but they occupy one side of the long table, so far away that they can't see each other's faces clearly.

Snape didn't care what the other houses thought of them, this holiday was not easy for him, the well-equipped classrooms at Hogwarts were much better than the DIY potion making station in Spider's End, where he brewed A lot of intermediate potions are going to be sold in Black's potion store. Even if they only need [-]% of the profit, he can still save the next semester's tuition in advance.If he successfully gets a scholarship at the end of the semester, he will need to open a vault in Gringotts to save the money.He is about to own his savings.

Snape was happily busy, didn't care and didn't have time to care about what Andromeda was doing, until the last afternoon of the Christmas holiday, when the students were about to return to school, it was surprising that Andromeda appeared in the common room.

"Are you waiting for Signus?" Andromeda couldn't help asking when she saw him here.

Snape was expressionless: "I wait for many people, including him."

"Okay." Andromeda smiled, and sat down on a sofa far away from him.

In the silence, Snape looked at Andromeda's suitcase several times, but he insisted on being curious, but he was unwilling to ask. In the end, Andromeda took the initiative to explain: "I dropped out of school. Wait for the Hogwarts Express to take them When I come back, I will be sent to London. I am going to start a new life there."

"I didn't ask you." Snape lowered his head to read the book and declared in a low voice.Andromeda didn't care, she just needed an audience now, and it didn't matter whether the audience cooperated or not.

"Some time ago, I overreacted. I always felt that Mrs. Black's plan didn't consider my feelings at all, so I blamed Signus and made faces at him everywhere, but forgot that I didn't like him, and he didn't like him either. Me." Speaking of this, Andromeda glanced at Snape: "I know what people in the academy say about me, and they are right, since I am unwilling to fulfill my responsibilities as Black, then Not entitled to the many benefits that the Blake name brings."

Snape finally looked at her, and Andromeda continued, "I plan to settle down in London and not return to the wizarding world."

"London is not as simple as you think." Snape said dryly.

Andromeda smiled: "Thank you for the reminder. But my Muggle Studies grade is O, so I should be able to handle it."

The premise is that the Muggle studies at Hogwarts are indeed close to the reality of Muggle society, Snape thought, that knowledge is indeed enough for wizards to survive in Muggle society, as for more, just It was up to Andromeda to figure it out on her own.

Andromeda looked at Snape's slightly frowned brows, and raised the corners of his mouth: "Are you worried about me?"

Snape said blankly, "No."

"Don't worry, although I have lost my love now, freedom is also worth pursuing."

"I'm not worried about you."

Andromeda shrugged: "I'm even more curious about what you're going to do now."

Snape looked at her, and Andromeda's eyes fell on the senior textbook that belonged to Signus in Snape's hands, and said suggestively, "What you're asking for is also hopeless."

"What I want will naturally be won by myself."

Andromeda smiled and shook her head: "Do you really think you can get Black's heir? Believe me, he may be your friend, but he will never be with a half-breed."

Snape sneered, "That's because you don't know him at all."
