At 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, the lights were still on in one of the Slytherin dormitories. Snape had already packed his luggage and placed it beside the bed, while he was lying on the carpet reading a book.Since the new plush carpet had been laid in the bedroom this semester, he and Signus had forgotten about the existence of the chair, preferring to stay on the floor in whatever position they liked.At first Snape rejected this too casual approach, but in the end he succeeded in being "wronged" by Signus.

It was already past his usual sleeping time. He closed the book and lay down in a daze. He didn't know how long it took before he vaguely heard the sound of the door opening.

Snape sat up at once, squinting his eyes at the person who came in, but Signus didn't seem to see him, he was even more distraught than Lucius when he successfully visited the library at night last time, and crawled silently. Go to bed and lie on your stomach.

Snape walked over and shook his hand: "What did you find?"

Signus said nothing, but with a slight force, he took Snape's hand and pulled him towards him.The bed prepared by the Black family for their heir was different from Snape's cot. Signus was lying in the middle, and if he wanted to bring Snape to his side, he had to pull him into the bed, but Snape didn't cooperate. , was pulled a few times and still stood on the ground.

"Can't you stay with me?" Signus mumbled his dissatisfaction with half of his face sunk in the soft bedding.

Snape got down on his knees and got a little closer to him: "Of course I can, but why would I?"

Signus smiled and pulled Snape up with a little strength: "Because you like me." Before Snape could retort, he leaned over and kissed his forehead again: "I like you too .”

Snape lay down obediently this time, still holding his hand.Signus suddenly remembered that several years ago, when he first entered school, he laughed at Lucius for being too precocious, and he started playing games with emotions in the first grade.Now I'm leading a kid who just graduated from the second grade, how different is it from Lucius?

"Hey, are you blushing?" Snape asked in a particularly surprised tone, breathing very closely.Signus could almost imagine the novelty in his eyes, and quickly pushed him back on the bed.

Many pictures about the future that had never been imagined before suddenly appeared, and Signus didn't want to look at them, but he couldn't control his mind.He was holding Snape's hand, how could he not want more for this holding.

Then, before those longings became clear, what he'd just seen in The Dark Arts Revealed popped up just in time to bring his heart back to calm.He sighed, turned over and faced the ceiling above his head, staring blankly at the ancient carvings left over from the era of the Big Four.

"You've found the answer tonight." Snape looked at him and said with certainty.

"Yes."

"It seems that this answer is very bad."

Signus smiled bitterly: "Very bad."

Snape: "Will you tell me if I learn Brain Defense too?"

Signus was silent for a long time, and replied: "I don't know." He didn't want to trap Snape in the turbulence, but in fact no one can be a bystander in a chaotic situation, not to mention that Snape's talent for potions has been too much Many people know.

He thought that his answer would make Snape angry, but the other party didn't say anything, just laying down with him so quietly.

The next day was the holiday. Early in the morning, the school was full of excited shouts from the students.They make appointments to meet during the holidays, or exchange addresses for writing letters.But as long as a Slytherin walked among them, the lively atmosphere would stagnate.No matter how well the students of Slytherin house perform in school, everyone always remembers that these people will join the ranks of Death Eaters in the future, and Death Eaters have been closely associated with killing, terror, cruelty and other unpleasant words Together.Just last night, while Signus and Snape were sleeping together, another family of wizards died under the torment of black magic.

Snape followed several seniors, with Regulus behind him.The unfriendly gazes of the people around him made Regulus nervous, and he quietly grabbed Snape's sleeve.

Benjamin Zabini, Angel Marcus and other juniors followed their elder brothers and sisters today, and did not relax until they boarded the Hogwarts Express and entered their own boxes.

"It seems that the ones who died this time were not ordinary people." Lucius sat down, looked at the sad and angry faces of the Hufflepuffs outside the window, and said, "If it's just ordinary wizarding families who are wiped out, they'll just get together and shriek." Trembling, never so angry."

Signus also looked out the window, suppressing the same sadness and anger as those Hufflepuffs in his heart, only showing the indifference that a reserve Death Eater should have.

The train rolled out of the platform slowly and arrived in London in the evening.An empty carriage came to meet Brother Black on the platform, so Signus let Snape get into the carriage as well, and took him home first.

"Remember to write to me when you go back to see Mr. Malfoy and tell me about your father," he said to Lucius.

The other party smiled easily: "I know. I haven't seen you for a year. Maybe he wants to invite you to his home directly."

Signus also smiled: "I will definitely go."

Lucius gets in the car and leaves, and Signus returns to the car.They went to Spinner's End first, dropped Snape off, and then went home.There was no one in Black's old house, and the house elf told the brothers that Mr. and Mrs. Black had something to go out today.

"Where did they go?"

The house-elf didn't know the answer, and started banging himself on the head, muttering that he couldn't answer his master's question, that he was a bad elf.In the past, when encountering such elves, Signus would definitely order them to stop, but today he didn't want to say a word, and went upstairs to his room.He knew what his parents were doing, and only the Dark Lord's mission could allow them to leave without leaving any messages.

With only him and Regulus at home, Signus was bored.He wondered how he passed the time when he and Snape were together, and stared at Regulus admiringly, only to realize that it was a really bad idea.What is there to see on my brother's face.

Outside the window, dark clouds are slowly gathering, and there should be a heavy rain tonight.The smell of damp in the air made Signus groggy and bored.He was dazed until dinner time, when he was awakened by the sound of thunder outside, slowly got up and stared at the rainwater flowing on the window in a daze.

Someone knocked on his door, he turned around and saw that the door of his room was already open, and Regulus was standing at the door: "Aren't you hungry?"

He stood up and went downstairs with his brother.The Black couple still didn't show up, and there were only two of them at the dinner table.

"Have you heard from Lucius?" Signus asked.

Regulus shook his head: "No."

Signus didn't take it seriously, and decided to go to Malfoy's house to see the situation after dinner.If Mr. Malfoy recovered from his illness, he wanted to tell him about his discovery as soon as possible.In the matter of the Dark Lord, the calm and considerate Mr. Malfoy is more trustworthy than his parents.

The rain didn't seem to stop tonight, and the Black couple never came home.Signus left his brother at home, and went to Malfoy Manor by himself through the fireplace.

Against the backdrop of the torrential rain, the usually bright and exquisite Malfoy Manor was also gloomy tonight.He stood in the living room for a while, and Lucius didn't come over, as if he didn't know there was a guest in the house.The Malfoy ancestors were also missing from the portraits on the wall.

What's going on here?Signus wanted to find Lucius himself, but he took two steps and came back, destroying the fireplace in the Malfoy's living room.

He ran upstairs quickly, and there was no one in the study or the bedroom. When he was hesitating whether to go to Mr. Malfoy to look for it, Lucius himself appeared in front of him.

The other party was wearing a simple black robe, with platinum-blond long hair draped over his shoulders, his face was as white as a ghost, and the pain in his light gray eyes made Signus stand there in a daze as if struck by lightning.

"He lied to me," Lucius said in a low voice, as if addressed to Signus, more to himself: "He told me that my body was fine because he didn't want me to show anxiety and other One guessed that something was wrong with the Malfoys. Actually, there was no cure for him."

"Sev..."

Lucius waved his hand and interrupted Signus: "It's useless, he didn't have dragon pox at all."

Signus was stunned, and Lucius' eyes suddenly became fierce, and he said through gritted teeth, "He was poisoned."

The Malfoy family is notoriously protective of their shortcomings, and they will take revenge. Who would dare to murder the head of the Malfoy family?An answer jumped out of Signus's mind almost immediately, making his heart skip a beat, and he felt a huge darkness enveloped the manor.

But why?What good would it do the man to lose Abraxas Malfoy?

Signus put aside many questions for the time being, and quickly said: "Maybe Sev has a way. He always said that potions are all mutual generation and mutual restraint, so there must be a way to detoxify."

Lucius smiled bitterly: "Siegel, it's too late."

Signus froze again.

Lucius turned around: "Come on, let me show you something."

They came to the door of Mr. Malfoy's bedroom, where Lucius paused for a while before taking a deep breath and pushing the door open.His father was lying on the bed, as if he was asleep, but his lips had turned blue and black.

Signus smelled a familiar rotten smell as soon as he entered, and when he watched Lucius take out a diary from beside Mr. Malfoy's pillow, he was immediately sure that the smell was coming from it.

"Horcrux!" He couldn't help but took a step back.

Lucius stared at the book: "Father discovered that person's secret, so he had to die."

Signus was shocked, completely unexpected that Mr. Malfoy would take the initiative to suspect the Dark Lord.

"He stayed until I came back just to tell me this." Lucius handed the book to Signus, knelt down beside the bed, and put his forehead against his father's hand: "Sorry, can you go out for a while first."

Signus silently exited the room, closed the door, and leaned in the corridor in a daze.He originally wanted to tell Mr. Malfoy about the Horcrux these two days, and then figure out a solution together, but Mr. Malfoy knew about it a long time ago, and he even lost his life because of it.

That man actually killed Mr. Malfoy!Signus thought of the photos in the school yearbook, the smiles among friends.Slytherin's friendship should be the most trustworthy, but it is worthless to the Dark Lord.He had always thought that the relationship between his parents and the Dark Lord was different, but now it seemed that no one was different to that person.

Lucius spent the night in his father's room, with Signus in the hallway.He didn't know what Lucius was thinking all night, and Snape was on his mind.Heck, at this moment, he didn't think about what to do in the future, but he was thinking about the way Snape read the book seriously, the way he handled the herbs, the way he quarreled with him, and the way he occasionally curled his lips.These images prevented him from concentrating on his business, and when he gave up completely, he simply followed his mind to think about Snape, and gradually calmed down.

If Snape saw him one day, like Mr. Malfoy, lying on the bed coldly, not breathing, not beating...

Just imagining such a scene, Signus already felt bone-chillingly cold and painful.He squatted down slowly, buried his face in the crook of his arms, hiding his gritted teeth to a somewhat ferocious look.

Never let that happen.
