HP trickle down

Burt was a little puzzled standing on the street with people coming and going, and his head was still dizzy.He was supposed to be learning Apparation with his teacher, but ended up here after the spell came out.

Fortunately, he was still in the UK, and Burt rarely came to the Muggle world, but his mother had a company in the Muggle world, so he was no stranger.It's just that he was a little confused when he suddenly came to an unfamiliar place alone.

Bert looked at the deserted look on the street, and remembered what his mother said about the Great Depression, it looked really miserable.All the restaurants were crowded with people, but these people looked lifeless, with dull eyes, a little scary.

It is him who is even more miserable now, his magic power is excessively consumed, and he himself is a little bit unable to hold on.After all, no one would have guessed that just trying to say a spell without waving a wand would work...

Burt hadn't been to the Muggle world for a long time except his own home, and he needed to go back as soon as possible, but his magic power couldn't be recovered for the time being, so he could only wait for his health to recover.Without his wand, and without money, it was hard to live.I just hope my sister can behave better and stop making noise.

Since his parents passed away, Bert has been pushing himself more and more.The Alfred family was already in decline, so they had to close the manor.After her mother Jin Yinsha married Alfred, the family business began to improve, and she also started a new business in the Muggle world.It's just that after returning to the mother's hometown, the parents were cursed and died miserably.

After the young Bert was summoned to the Muggle world, what he saw was his parents who looked like evil spirits. After being stimulated, Bert half-awakened the blood of magical creatures.Just when Bert couldn't bear it, mother Jinyinsha and father Herman tried their best to dredge the blood, but they couldn't use the power of blood.His mother told him to live a good life and not think about revenge.Bert was hard to forget.

Bert was already training as an heir, but after his protective umbrella was gone, he trained himself crazily and suppressed his nature.In the huge Alfred Castle, there are only three living people left: him, his sister Stephanie, and his teacher Lance.And Lance is not considered a human being, he is an elf that has been extinct for a long time, but he can't be said to be very powerful.

Judging from Lance's usual practice, he had an accident this time, and Lance would not come to him.Therefore, everything can only be self-reliant.Still had to get home before Stephanie exploded.Since her parents had an accident, Stephanie was extremely clingy to him and extremely insecure.

Bert walked quietly in this dilapidated alley, with malicious eyes in the darkness.Burt tried to steady himself, he knew what these people were thinking.Can he say that he is glad that he looks like a mess after the Apparation failure, not like a rich man?

Just when Bert walked through the door of another house, he suddenly felt the magic wave of the wizard, and the magic was chaotic!

Bert didn't want to be nosy, narrowed his eyes, and continued to walk forward calmly.

The vague smell of blood lingered on Burt's overly sensitive nose.After the awakening of the magical creature lineage, although he cannot have other abilities under the deliberate seal of the wrong response, Bert's five senses are far superior to ordinary wizards.The smell of blood reminded Bert of the blood red all over the place...

"Bangdang"!

The loud noise behind him made Burt turn his head involuntarily.

The thin and small body was dressed in ill-fitting clothes, dirty, slovenly, and in a mess.The child's appearance could not be seen clearly on the pale face, but there was a straight nose.It was freezing cold, the child's clothes were thin and torn, and the exposed skin was blue and purple.There was still wet blood on the tattered clothes, and a pair of black eyes were empty and hopeless.

When Bert saw the child, the child also noticed Bert.He stared at Burt, his empty eyes sparkling with sparks.

"Get lost!" the miserable child uttered evil words.But as soon as he finished speaking, he staggered and fell to the ground.

Bert turned around, raised his chin slightly, and said arrogantly, "What qualifications do you have to ask me?"

In their current posture, children are more like people who are being bullied.

But the child no longer had the strength to ask questions, and he fell into a coma.

Burt saw him fall down silently, and there was some pity in his eyes.However, this kid is a little wizard. If he wasn't a hemp seed, then there must be a wizard in his family.Families with little wizards should have mana stabilizers and supplements, right?After all, little wizards also need these to stabilize their magic power.

So Bert, who had lived for 11 years, showed his kindness for the first time, and prepared to save the poor child.

Bert reached out and picked up the strange little wizard. The smell was probably not bad at all. A sour smell that hadn't been bathed for a long time rushed straight to Bert's nose.Bert frowned and held back.

Bert pushed open the door, and a man was lying on the ground in the corner, with a pool of dark blood on the ground.The inside of the house was too dilapidated, Bert threw the child on the sofa that couldn't see his true colors, walked up to the man and sniffed the man, making sure he was still alive, so he didn't bother.The blood on the ground was not from that man, but from that idiot kid.

No matter how you look at it, this man is a Muggle. Although Muggle weapons are very powerful, it shouldn't make wizards so irresistible when facing wizards personally.Especially since this man looked sick from being drunk, his movements must be slow.Then why can't this child do it yet? No matter how you say it, although this child is not healthy, he is still capable of action.

Burt didn't really want to be nosy, but this company might have what he wanted, although he could go to his own Muggle business, but their company was too far away.

Anyway, Bert has received many years of fighting training, and he can protect himself without a wand.After so long a delay here, he was a little hungry.Burt walked self-consciously into what looked like a kitchen, dark and devoid of signs of regular use.Looking around and seeing nothing to eat, Burt felt a headache.The Great Depression is so terrible?He won't come to the slums, will he? !

Even in the Great Depression, not everyone is too poor to afford food.Burt braced his exhausted body, tore off one of his jeweled cuffs, soiled himself even more with mud, and went out for a change of food.

After Burt left, the fainted kid woke up, clutching his forehead and sitting up from the sofa.Seeing that he was still in the house, recalling the confrontation between him and Bert, he looked left and right in a panic, but he did not see Bert, and heaved a sigh of relief.He looked up and saw Tobia, a useless man, still lying there.After Irene went out, he was the only one left in the family. He was reading the potion book left by his mother in his hut. This man came in reeking of alcohol and beat him.

After a dispute, he was injured all over his body, and Tobia was just knocked unconscious by his miss.For wizards, ordinary wounds heal relatively quickly, at least the wounds on his body are not bleeding anymore.If he remembered correctly, he should have passed out at the door, so, that guy brought him back?

Severus still lost a little blood, and thinking too much about the problem was the result of a headache.Rubbing his forehead unbearably, Severus stood up, his thin legs couldn't support him, he leaned on the backrest and slowly climbed up the stairs.Mother hid a little blood tonic at home, and he needed it.

When Bert stepped into the dilapidated house again, the child was no longer on the sofa in the living room.And the man is still lying down, and he probably won't wake up for a while.Looking down at his food, Burt guessed the kid had gone upstairs.

Severus thought it was his mother coming back when he heard the door open, and ran to the stairs excitedly, only to see the black-haired kid, as dirty as a mud monkey.Severus was a little unhappy, and said, "Who are you? What are you doing at my house?"

"Your house?" Burt raised the corners of his lips playfully, but unfortunately he made his face too dirty to see his expression clearly, "Is it really your house? I don't believe that anyone can't wait to escape from their own house, And leave this... huh~" Burt raised his chin, facing Tobias with an arrogant expression.

"What happens to me has nothing to do with Your Excellency," Severus said angrily, "You house thief!"

"That's enough, kid!" The little duke didn't want to quarrel childishly anymore, he mentioned his food and said, "There is no point in arguing, let's come down and eat something."

Severus swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva when he saw the contents in his pocket and smelled the tempting aroma, but he still shook his head firmly, as if he didn't want to be with Bert.

"Take it as an apology for invading your house." Burt ignored Severus' reaction after he finished speaking, he pushed away the unrecognizable things on the table, and put simple, clean and sweet food on the table.

Burt turned and went into the kitchen to wash his hands, and when he came out, he saw Severus grabbing the bread and gobbling it.Seeing Severus eating without washing his hands made Bert angry.

"Boy, wash your hands." With Severus's thin and small appearance, Burt only thought he was the same age as Stephanie and should be younger than him. Seeing this terrible hygiene habit, Burt unconsciously used the right Fanny's stern tone when she was disobedient.

"My apology!" Severus didn't care whether Bert was satisfied, he hadn't eaten this kind of clean bread for a long time, the food at home was contracted by Tobias, and his mother didn't allow him to eat Tobias Biya food.Moreover, Burt's tone is too annoying, isn't he just a peer?How dare you discipline people like this.

For his own appetite, Bert dragged Severus by the collar to the kitchen: "If you don't wash your hands, don't eat, or you won't have diarrhea all over!"

Severus swallowed his retort and washed his hands reluctantly.

Seeing that Severus had been washed clean, Bert allowed Severus to eat, and Burt didn't throw away the piece of bread that Severus had grabbed with his dirty hands, but he didn't allow Severus to eat again. bump.

Handing a sandwich to Severus, Bert ate his own bread quietly, and passed a jug of milk to Severus, and Bert drank his own milk in one gulp.

"I'm Bert, Bert.K.Alfred (Bert.K.Alfred), what's your name?" At this time, Bert, who was half full, tore the dry bread into pieces and soaked them in the gifted soup , asked casually.

Severus took a sip of milk, relieved himself, and said slowly, "I'm Severus Snape."

Bert gave Severus a spoon, took a sip of the soup himself, and asked, "Who is that man?"

Hearing this, Severus' face darkened, and he said reluctantly, "My father."

Seeing a topic that shouldn't be asked, Burt turned to ask, "Where's your mother?"

"Working outside." Severus took two sips of his soup and dropped the spoon.

"Are you a little wizard?" Although he was asking, Bert was sure.

"Ah."

"Do you have a magic stabilizer?" Burt couldn't help but give himself a moment in his heart, asking too straightforwardly!

"Yes." Severus saw what the man wanted.

"I need a magic power stabilizer. If you want anything, exchange it with me if I can provide it." Burt said bluntly, but he was still a little nervous.The unequal information caused such an unequal transaction situation, and more importantly, the urgency of his needs was too obvious.

Severus is undoubtedly a person who can't talk about business, and he doesn't realize the value of the magic power stabilizer now, but he behaved very calmly, saying: "I believe you know its value, don't ask for it indiscriminately, I still have Magic Supplement."

"I only have this gemstone cufflink on me," Bert was a little embarrassed, and pulled off his other cufflink.He sold his cufflinks at a low price in exchange for the meal and some Muggle banknotes. In order to save a little image, he said: "Cufflinks are actually enough to pay for magic power supplements and magic power stabilizers in the Muggle world." Yes, but there are still some shortcomings in the wizarding world, contact me when you go to school."

He had thought that Severus would not have these two potions, after all, it seemed too poor here.It stands to reason that he should never come back after leaving, but he came back by some strange coincidence.This trip was not in vain, a nice windfall...

"IOU." Severus took the cufflinks, rummaged in the living room again, found a crumpled piece of paper, and gave out his homemade quill pen, throwing it in front of Bert, toes said proudly.

It was also the first time Burt had encountered this situation. He grinned and wrote an IOU contract. The content probably owed Severus three hundred gold Galleons, and he could rely on this article to demand repayment during his study.

"Are you a Hogwarts student?" Severus looked at Burt, not feeling how old Burt was.

"I will enroll this year." Burt originally didn't want to go to Hogwarts to study, but he was an opportunist. Now that the British wizarding world was about to fall into chaos, he chose England.

"I'm going to school this year too." Severus couldn't hide the excitement in his tone.

Bert just smiled, and said, "Then, little Mr. Snape, my potion..." The little wizard in front of him was 11% malnourished, otherwise he wouldn't be so thin and small, not like an [-]-year-old child at all. .

"I'll have to wait for my mother to come back." Severus got the IOU quickly without giving Burt a chance to regret it.

"Your father is waking up soon," Burt put away the things on the table, fanned the smell away with his hand, grabbed Severus' hand and went upstairs, "then wait for your mother to come back, just in time for us Rest."
