There was no light in the secret passage, and Snape couldn't see anything in the darkness, so he simply closed his eyes to feel the rare loss of control of Signus.Signus, however, took advantage of the night vision ability brought to him by the Witcher gene, and looked at Snape well, admiring his trembling eyelashes and flushed pale cheeks.He had waited too long for this moment, not just a kiss, but also meant that he could finally like Severus Snape without any scruples.

Lineage, identity, position, nothing can stand between them anymore.

There's nothing wrong with a Squib, Signus thought. A Squib can't inherit the Black family, and no one cares if a Squib's mate is a pureblood.But this is just his own idea. For the family, of course, the eldest son with excellent black magic talent is more useful.For Regulus, what he needs is an older brother who can support him.Not even Snape wanted him to be a Squib forever, because that would mean saying goodbye to the Quidditch dream forever, and that wasn't what Snape wanted.

Signus knew that Snape had always hoped that after the war, he could live a free life and pursue the dreams he wanted to pursue, even if those dreams seemed particularly unprofessional among the children of the same family, but as long as they were his Whatever he wanted to do, Snape hoped it could be done.

Maybe he will care about those in a few years, but at this moment, all Signus can think about is the person in front of him, and he can only feel their two fiery breaths intertwined, making the damp and cold here dissipate .

"I have to remind you." Before Signus's hand tried to reach into his clothes more presumptuously, Snape grabbed him, pushed him away with the other hand, raised his eyebrows and said: "I Not yet an adult, and you're only 17."

Signus laughed: "I know." Then he leaned closer to Snape's ear and whispered softly: "Even if we really want to do something, we can't be here."

He just wanted to be close to Snape very much, to be closer to him.This desire has been produced a long time ago, but it has not been expressed.

The two got together to calm their breath, their senses returned, and the noise of people coming and going in the Hogwarts corridor outside the secret passage also became clear.Snape, listening to the energetic voices of the students across the wall, looked at Signus silently in the dark, as if to say, how do we get out now?

"Come with me." Signus smiled, leading Snape to continue walking deep into the secret passage in the dark.He was a little cautious, thinking that Snape couldn't see the way in the dark, so he could only hold his hand tightly.But the boy behind him didn't cooperate at all, he pulled out his wand and waved it lightly, the fluorescent light immediately illuminated a small space around them.

Signus paused, and continued to move forward as if nothing had happened. Snape laughed twice from behind, muttering and complaining about his childishness.

This secret passage led to the first-floor corridor, not far from the direction of Slytherin.The two of them sneaked out from behind a set of old armor, and quickly returned to the cellar while there were not many people around, lest the result of the trial just came out would bring them into the gossip center again.

The trial of the Wizengamot lasted all morning. At this time, when they were supposed to be eating, Signus and Snape avoided the crowd going to the dining room. When they returned to the dormitory, they found that the common room was full of people. , as if Hogwarts lunches had suddenly lost their appeal.These people did not go to the Wizengamot to watch the trial today, but they were very concerned about the outcome of the trial. As soon as Signus walked in, he was watched enthusiastically by a group of students.

Not all Slytherins are willing to bow down to others from the bottom of their hearts. From a gentleman of high society to a dog under the king, some people smiled and congratulated him when Signus returned safely, and of course some were just gloomy. Staring at him, one could tell he was very dissatisfied with the Ministry's trial.However, the opinions of these people are no longer important. Their families are in danger, and they probably don't have time to trouble Signus.

"Welcome back." Collison was the first to hug him, followed by a few Quidditch team friends who didn't care about his status as a Squib.Signus didn't care about the eyes of the people around him, and wished they were all far away at this moment, so that he and Snape could go back to their small room and be alone.

But his friends didn't think so.Since Signus became a Squib, the few friends who still have friendship with him are more warm than before, hoping to save him from embarrassment in this way, and let other Slytherins know to use What attitude to face the only squib in the academy.

Signus didn't feel embarrassed. He didn't care what others thought of him when he was a black magic genius, and he still doesn't care now that he's a Squib.However, he didn't want to refuse the kindness of his friends. He could only deal with it patiently. He didn't rush to catch up until he saw Snape quit silently and went to the dormitory by himself.

"He doesn't seem to care about magic?" a friend from the Quidditch team wondered.

Corrisson shrugged: "No one doesn't care about magic power, but he cares more about Severus now than magic power."

The man nodded: "Anyway, I have to thank Blake. If it weren't for him, I might become a Death Eater in the future, and before that, my father might have been tortured to death by the Dark Lord's Cruciatus Curse."

"You can call that man Tom Riddle," Collison reminded.

News of the trial was flying around the UK, and Signus was more talked about than anyone that day.Thanks to Dumbledore's early foreshadowing, most people accepted the result of acquittal, but the discussion on him was still fierce.Countless people pay attention to his status in the Black family, his future, and even his private life, but the protagonist of the topic, Signus, has returned to his previous indifferent state.He was already a Squib, and there was no point in staying at school. Dumbledore asked him to talk about going home, but he was able to evade it with a few words.

Now he still lives in the Slytherin cellar, or in Snape's dormitory. His daily tasks are to wait for his boyfriend to finish class and read idle books. If he is really bored, he will kindly help Regu, who is suffering from headaches due to family affairs. Les.But this kind of kindness is very rare, Signus would rather sleep in the dormitory until noon, and he is not willing to face the work that belongs to the family head.According to his high-sounding statement, Regulus had to learn to face these by himself as soon as possible, and he couldn't always rely on others, as if he didn't rely on his father's perennial teaching when he was still the heir.

One day at dinner, Snape looked sideways at Signus, and suddenly said something strangely pronounced. The third graders who had a good relationship with him all lowered their heads and held back their laughter after hearing it, which made Signus very bewildered. .

"What did you say?"

"There is an oriental man in Ravenclaw. Today he taught us a sentence in Chinese. I think it is very suitable for you." Snape said this, carefully recalling the pronunciation of that classmate, and then said word by word: "Waiting for words in my boudoir."

Signus: ?

Snape smiled: "Perhaps you can look up what that word means yourself."

Signus's aroused interest disappeared immediately: "I don't like to look up information."

"But I remember you never said you didn't like it when you were looking up spells."

Signus didn't hesitate: "That's different."

Of course it won't be the same.In the past, he was used to relying on magic to check things, but now he has become a squib. The way of wasting time and energy is not easy for him to accept.There's nothing particularly important right now that's compelling him to compromise with the Squib lifestyle, so he chooses to ignore it, even if it means doing nothing for it.

Signus didn't think it was a problem, but Snape went from indifferent to worried.It dawned on him that the reason the loss of magic didn't affect Signus was because Signus simply refused to really face his identity as a Squib.He admits that he has no magic power and doesn't care about the eyes of people around him, but actually stays in the dormitory every day and doesn't touch things that rely on magic.For a wizard living in a pure-blood Slytherin family, it means that most things in life are out of his reach.

But he can't stay in the dormitory all the time, and he will stay in Black's old house in the future.

Snape, Lucius, and Regulus have all talked about this problem, and hoped that they would think of a solution from the perspective of pure-blooded children.In the end, Lucius didn't think there was any problem, because Signus' reaction was too normal in his opinion. It is impossible for any pure blood to suddenly become a squib, let alone Signus was so talented. , no need to make a fuss.As for Regulus, the child said that if the elder brother wanted to stay at home all the time, then the Black family could fully support him.Looking at his face for granted, Snape simply didn't know how to make him understand that the focus was on Signus' mentality, not whether the Black family was willing to raise a Squib.

Before the summer vacation, Snape must devote himself to the final review in order to save his grades that fell due to missing classes.This also became the last lazy time for Signus, because after the final grades came out, Snape announced to him that he would spend this holiday with him in Muggle London.

"Why should I go to London instead of you coming to Black's house." Signus was in the dormitory at that time, watching the house-elf of Hogwarts help him pack his luggage.He is now a guest of this castle, not a student, and he has the right to enjoy some services, and enjoying services is simply too good for someone who has been a master for more than ten years.

"My family has a lot of magic books, you will like it, and the potion laboratory is updated every year. If you want to go to Diagon Alley or other places, my fireplace is also very convenient."

Snape bowed his head and packed his luggage, ignoring him, and Signus talked endlessly about the benefits of the Black family, trying to lure Snape to stay with him in the wizarding world.

"Mom misses me very much." Snape casually found an excuse impatiently.

Signus immediately retorted: "She hasn't even written to you."

Probably because she loves that man more, Snape thought coldly, and then said: "Actually, the Muggle world is quite interesting, didn't you like it before?"

"I just don't reject it. If I don't reject it, I like it. Then I also like taking the History of Magic course."

Snape put the last thing away, closed the suitcase, and looked up at Signus seriously: "I'm notifying you, not discussing with you."

Signus fell silent, and Snape thought he had finally accepted the reality, but he heard him try to find a reason again: "Maybe Crael needs my help."

Snape smiled: "In fact, he already knew about your itinerary, and he promised me that he would not disturb us during the vacation." As for why Regulus agreed so happily, it was because he knew that even if he left his brother at home, Don't expect him to help with household chores, either.

Hope was shattered, and Signus lay down powerlessly: "Merlin! Why do you insist on going back to London?"

"Why are you so reluctant." Snape smiled, half kneeled down beside the bed, and kissed Signus face-to-face.The other party dodged reluctantly, and he chased up to kiss him, and moved back by himself after a few strokes, lying flat and letting Snape move around on his body.
