HP trickle down

Severus wanted to sit down and read a book in the afternoon, but Bert forced him into the garden for a snowball fight? !

Severus had always hated snow, and winter was hard for him.The cold and dry quilt, the old clothes, the food that can never be full... He can't feel warm.It will be even more sad if it snows.His hands and feet would be cold and even painful.

Bert was led by Stephanie to build a snow fort, but his mind was on Severus.Severus wasn't with them, and Severus couldn't just stand around.

Severus was still standing in the cold wind, watching Bert and Stephanie play together, his body ached from the cold, and his face grew paler.

Bert absent-mindedly built a half-built snow fort with Stephanie, turning his head to look at Severus frequently.Severus stood a few steps away, alone and cold.

"Fanny, maybe we can go back indoors." Burt was reluctant to leave Severus alone like this.

Stephanie glanced at her snow castle hesitantly, and deeply understood that Severus didn't like the outdoors, so she couldn't force Severus like this.They... are family!

"Severus, let's go back!" Stephanie yelled at Severus, pushing down her snow fortress.

"…" Severus didn't answer, he was frozen.

Burt immediately saw what was wrong with Severus, he rushed forward and cast a detection spell, the unhealthy light stung Burt's eyes. "Sev, you're pushing yourself too hard!" Burt hugged Severus horizontally, and the frozen Severus had no strength to resist.

"What happened to Severus?" Stephanie asked uneasily seeing Bert's flustered look.

"It's okay." Severus replied firmly.

Burt replied truthfully: "Severus has been standing outside for too long, making him uncomfortable. Fanny, I'll take Severus to the treatment. Can you take care of Auntie with the teacher?"

"No," Stephanie looked at Severus guiltily, "I'm going to stay with Severus, he's sick because of me."

"Fanny... a lady won't be too intimate with a man." Bert hinted.

Stephanie frowned: "Brother, Severus is not an outsider, he is a family member!"

Burt was defeated, but he still didn't allow it. He said, "Fanny, there are differences between men and women. There are some things that you... can't see right now."

Stephanie had no choice but to back down, and could only say to Severus: "Severus, I'm sorry, I'll come to you when my brother tells me that I can see you." She didn't know what to think of, and her face turned red Yes, turned his back and rushed to where Lance and the others were.

Severus stood bravely in the cold wind for too long, his face was ashen.That painful childhood had damaged his body, and he seemed to be getting better, but he was actually weak and needed to be recuperated.That relapse of stomach trouble, in addition to Severus's irregular diet, also Severus's body was really unhealthy.

Burt put the hot water on, and Severus felt pain in his hands and feet, and couldn't unbutton his clothes.In the end, relying on wandless magic, she took off her clothes and soaked in hot water.Burt didn't move away at all during this process, his eyes caressing Severus' body inch by inch.The scrutiny made Severus a little irritated in the hot water.

"The elf duke should be gone," Severus said with a black face after soaking in the hot water and recovering. "I don't think there is any code of nobility that allows you to spy on a wizard in a bathroom."

"Severus, do you have joint pain?" Burt ignored his black face and directly reached out to caress Severus' knee.

Severus slapped Burt's hand away, and without answering, his legs closed even more unconsciously.He is indeed in pain, but will it not hurt if he tells Bert?Not necessarily, if he wants to use his pity to win sympathy, he still can't do such a thing.

"It seems to hurt." Burt didn't need Severus to answer directly, he could tell whether Severus was in pain just from his expression.Although Severus was extremely patient, the pain in the joints could still be seen in his body language.

Burt poured magic into his palms and slowly rubbed them over Severus' joints, turning on the hot water to make sure the bathroom wouldn't be cold.Severus wasn't that cooperative, allowing himself to show everything in front of others, sorry, he really doesn't have a penchant for nudity!For Severus' non-cooperation, Bert just pressed one of Severus' acupuncture points casually, making Severus' whole body go limp and unable to move at all.

This feeling of powerlessness made Severus very annoyed, but he was so weak that he couldn't speak now!After calming down, he only felt a steady stream of heat from Burt's palm to his joints, and at the same time, he felt less and less pain.Looking at Bert, who was massaging him with his head down, Severus had a dull expression, "This is only a temporary solution, but if you protect it, it shouldn't relapse. It's my fault for letting you suffer from the cold." Burt After confirming that everything was taken care of, he stopped, raised his head and met Severus' eyes and said.

"Okay, let me get up." The skin was wrinkled from the hot water, but it's really not uncomfortable when the body is warmed up.Severus was able to speak now, his body was beginning to regain strength, and he was about to end this so-called therapy session.Sometimes I really don't understand a little problem, and Bert seems to be able to find out what's wrong right away.Bert would treasure what he didn't care about at all.

Burt stepped aside, called for a towel, and brought it to Severus.By the way, untie that acupuncture point, allowing Severus to fully recover.

Severus remembered while holding the bath towel, seeing that he didn't intend to turn his back at all, he frowned, and said, "Your Excellency, you like to watch other people take a bath so much?"

"No, Sev, I just want to see if you have any other injuries." Burt's reason was very fair.

"You should have seen it all just now. I don't think His Excellency the Duke, who has always been proud of his photographic memory, doesn't need to read it again." Severus raised his eyebrows and said dryly.

Burt saw Severus insisting, so forget it.Severus is still a shy person...

If Severus could know what was going on in Burt's mind at the moment, he would undoubtedly send Burt a Cruciatus directly.It's a pity that he didn't know, so after Burt turned around, he immediately got up, wrapped the towel around himself, and stepped out of the bathtub.

The sound of "crashing" water teased Burt's hearing. Since the blood problem was solved, Burt's five senses have become too sharp.It will be extremely difficult to fall asleep for a long time, and the slightest noise will wake me up.But in Severus, he felt surprisingly at ease, sleeping well during those few days at school.

He could almost imagine how Severus stood up from the water and wrapped the towel around his waist, the "click" sound meant that Severus had stepped out of the bathtub.

"Severus, change yourself." Burt felt that there was no need to stay any longer, and went out by himself.He didn't know why he was suddenly nervous.

Severus looked at Burt's firm steps, but unexpectedly felt a little bit of running away.He didn't know what Burt was thinking, and he didn't bother to pay attention.He quickly changed his clothes, opened the door and went out.

Burt leaned his back against the wall, looked at the ground, crossed his left arm around his chest, rested his right elbow on the other left wrist, clasped his chin with his right hand, and seemed to be thinking about something.His body was mostly hidden in darkness.

Severus frowned, and said: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, wasted all your energy on being handsome, and I have to worry about your IQ. Start exercising your hormones now? Do you still think you are not attractive enough at Hogwarts?" butterfly?"

"Sev, I don't think so." Bert stood up straight for a moment, but leaned against Severus as if he had no bones in the next second, "Sev, I was just thinking, you seem to be too much influence me."

"I don't have that much charisma to influence a duke." Severus hadn't the slightest idea of ​​what he was saying.

Burt sighed inwardly, but he didn't understand either.He seemed to always pay too much attention to Severus, and if there was something wrong with Severus, even small details that he didn't care about, he would find it unbearable.At first, he only thought that he cared about his asylum out of responsibility, but later he thought he cared about his friends... But today, something was wrong in the bathroom.

If it was Anthony, he would never be so nuanced.If it was just a family member, then he would never care about Stephanie in this way... Severus seemed to have a rather delicate position in his heart.He really didn't know where it was located.Let it go, what will happen?

"Severus has to eat well for dinner." Bert finally said this, and continued to worry about his own affairs.

Severus felt that the people around him were preoccupied, but he didn't think of it to himself.

After enjoying the dinner, the two families played together for a while, and Irene and Tobias took Severus to leave.

Lance went to take care of his own flowers in the garden after the guests left, and Stephanie was tired after playing all day.Burt took her back to the bedroom, ready to let her wash and sleep.

"Brother, do you like Severus?" Stephanie asked in her soft voice.

"I like it, what's the matter?" Bert tilted his head and looked at his sister strangely.

Stephanie stuck out her tongue, wrinkled her little nose, and said, "My brother cares more about Severus than I do... But, Severus is not in good health, it should be. He is... family." Although it is the family she only felt today.

"Brother always likes Fanny the most, don't think too much." Burt laughed. Is Stephanie fighting for favor now?Thinking of this, Bert had no choice but to hug his little princess and kiss her forehead.

"My brother likes Severus, so Fanny also likes Severus; my brother recognizes Severus as family, and Fanny treats Severus as family. But family members should live together, why Severus Is Si going to leave with Aunt Irene?" Stephanie looked at Bert with wide green eyes, full of confusion.

Bert put Stephanie down and patted her head: "Severus also has his own home, and Aunt Irene can't live without him." It's Tobias.It's really hard to say how much Severus has in her heart.

Stephanie accepted this statement, and Jin Yinsha's impression in her heart was gradually blurring, she only vaguely remembered that Jin Yinsha was a person who liked to laugh a lot, and always liked to tease her brothers, but she loved them very, very much.Therefore, the mother's impression was also extended to every such woman by her.

"When will brother Severus live with us?" Stephanie couldn't help but still wanted to ask this, she couldn't accept that the family didn't live together.

Bert thought for a while and replied, "Let's go on winter vacation...we can live together forever when Sif is an adult."

"Aunt Irene doesn't need Severus anymore then?" Stephanie wanted to double check.

"Yeah." Bert was very sure.

Stephanie was happy.
