HP trickle down

The environment in Spider's End Alley is terrible, the dross left over from industrial development.The sky is black, the river is black, and there is a stench everywhere.Petty and petty crimes gather here, fish and dragons are mixed.

Burt didn't like this kind of place, and he couldn't sleep in the little plank bed.It wasn't because he was delicate and expensive, but he was wondering why he didn't drink the potion and leave right away.

Fanny was waiting for him, he could feel it.However, he didn't want to go back for a while.He has suppressed it for too long... When he returns home, there will be endless training again, and he will start to participate in the noble reception, dealing with all the people who gather around him for unknown reasons.This is also necessary, he will inherit Alfred's honorable duke title when he becomes an adult, and if he doesn't have the corresponding powerful contacts, this title is useless.

He wants to be willful once, just once...

Severus couldn't feel his bedmate struggling, he had been asleep for a long time.Although there is an annoying boy who doesn't know the details, but he is warm.

Bert quietly looked at Severus's sleeping face, it was sallow, originally a little handsome but with a big nose, full of the haze of life, he couldn't feel at ease when he fell asleep.so hard...

Just stay one more day and go home tomorrow night.

As the sun rose, so did Spider's End.

"buckle"

Irene knocked on the door twice and said, "Sev, Bert, come out for dinner."

The breakfast was very simple. Everyone was given a glass of water for the leftover bread from last night.

Burt opened his eyes first. He had woken up once earlier, drank two bottles of potion and lay down again.Now I feel that my body is in good condition and I can use magic.

Severus also woke up, got up from the bed, didn't have the habit of saying good morning, and went downstairs to wash up.

Bert glanced out the window and got up from the bed.

He wanted to give Severus a good morning kiss or something, but he thought Severus wasn't Fanny, so he didn't do it.Luckily he didn't, otherwise Severus would be angry.I really don't know what's so good about that little girl, Severus missed an appointment with her and was so flustered.

Seeing Bert coming down to wash, Severus pretended he didn't see it.He kept thinking about how to explain to Lily so that Lily would not be angry. He shouldn't have met Bert yesterday!

Burt came out of the shower feeling refreshed, Irene's mental state improved a lot after she figured it out, only Severus looked preoccupied.

Seeing that Severus was about to feed the bread up his nose, Burt finally couldn't stand it any longer, grabbed Severus' wrist, and said, "If you're so worried, we'll go find that lady after breakfast."

"Why, why?" Severus came back to his senses, realized his embarrassment, and asked dryly.

"Didn't I make you fail to make the appointment on time? I'll apologize, and that lady will forgive you." Bert laughed.It's just that he didn't take it seriously in his heart. He had grown up so much, and he hadn't said "I'm sorry" yet.Let's just change the concept secretly and let this kid be happy first.

"Hmph." Severus snorted, dismissively.But he concentrated on eating breakfast.

Irene watched the interaction between the two children with soft eyes.She has already made up her mind about Tobia's matter.It's never been better...

"Severus, why don't you change into a cleaner dress, after all, you are going to meet your good friend, and you have to apologize to her." Bert suggested with a smile.He was still wearing Severus's clothes, and he had no intention of changing them, after all, his clothes were still dirty.

Severus glanced at Burt, accepted the suggestion, and went upstairs with a "thud thud thump".

Burt cast a silencing spell casually, and said to Irene: "Have you already made a decision?"

"Hmm." Irene nodded with a stiff face.

"What are you going to do?" Bert asked again.

Irene hesitated and said: "I'm going to use potion to let him seal the memories of these years, so that it won't harm his body. Then, give him Felicity Potion to a degree he can accept so that he can find a job, and I will work with him." He confessed..."

"Auntie, the idea is very good," Burt sighed inwardly, "Can you guarantee that you can really say it?"

Erin thought for a while, but she couldn't give a definite answer.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Burt said: "Auntie, the plan will often fail to keep up with the changes. You are reluctant to part with Mr. Snape, and potions are sometimes not a panacea. I think sealing the memory did not make him suffer from hell hallucinations." Potion ① works well. When he goes through the most terrible experience, he will have two situations, one is to completely degenerate and become a waste, then you don’t need to be with him anymore; live so that you can continue your marriage with him."

Hearing the hallucination potion of hell, Irene's face was very ugly.This dose of potion is a forbidden drug, because the effects of taking it are the two kinds that Burt said.Users will have the most terrible life experience imagined by themselves, suffer all kinds of pain in the world, and experience what they are most afraid of, the more they will experience it repeatedly.In this situation, the vast majority of people will have a nervous breakdown, but there are too few people who can break through the hallucination effect of the potion, and the few make Irene's heart tremble...

"Tobia..." Irene was reluctant.

"Auntie, although the hell hallucinations can easily break people down, they can't really hurt people inside. And you, you can enter Mr. Snape's dream to save him when he is going through hardships. If so, he can't change Okay, so what else is there to be together?" Bert's words were very tempting to Irene, and she was moved.

"But I don't have this potion." Irene stammered.

Burt walked up to Irene and said, "I can provide you with medicinal ingredients, so you should be able to brew it yourself." The brewing of hell hallucination potion is very difficult, and no one can do it except the potion master.

"I haven't done it for a long time, maybe I will waste a few times the medicinal materials..." Irene's words made Burt confirm that this down-and-out witch is a master of potions.

To marry a Muggle is to betray your blood. In recent decades, there has only been one nobleman, Irene Prince.Prince belongs to a low-key potion family, and low-key is relative.It is also famous that there will be a master of potions in every generation of princes.Irene, as Prince of this generation, naturally also became a master of potions, but who knew that she was kicked out of the house within a few years after she achieved this achievement?

Now the owner of the Prince family, Duke Prince, is old and sick, but he is still a strong figure in the neutral faction.However, he is Erin's grandfather.Irene's father died early because of an accident when he went out to search for potions and medicinal materials in his early years.

Burt felt a little lucky now, because the inexplicable apparition met a potion master and a future potion master.

Sensing Severus' presence, Burt removed the Silencing Charm.Erin also arranged her appearance so that Severus would not find out.

"What did you do?" Severus still keenly noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between them.

"Nothing." Bert stepped forward to pull Severus past him and headed for the door.

"Mom, I'm going to find Lily." Although Severus had never heard Irene say anything wrong with Lily, he still knew Irene's cold attitude towards Lily.

"Well," Irene couldn't help stroking Severus' hair and straightening his clothes, "Sev, have fun." She hadn't fed Severus for a long time, so she Even the clothes are hers or Tobia's clothes are changed and worn for him.Sev must have suffered a lot.

Severus was a little surprised when he heard Irene say that, but he just nodded in response.He shook off Bert's hand and walked out.

"Auntie, I will take care of the materials. In the future, I will have a lot of troubles." Bert ran out after saying these words, and Severus was waiting for him not far away.

Irene watched their backs going away, and accepted Bert's gesture.She knew that Bert had already guessed her identity, and a nobleman naturally understood the usefulness of a potions master.She didn't plan to go back to the wizarding world, and hoped that Bert could protect Severus instead of her.

The glory of pure blood is a tempting slogan, especially for the few nobles in the wizarding world.Paranoid, she used to be proud of pure blood, but she didn't want Severus to be hurt by pure blood...

The weather is fine to leave Spinner's End.

Severus took Bert to Lily's house, and this was his first visit to Lily's house.Although Lily had invited him, he himself was unwilling to go.Sometimes what Penny said hurt his self-esteem, and although he was happy for Lily to defend him, he didn't want to hear what Lily said sometimes.

Burt didn't say anything the whole way, he was happy to see Severus himself getting nervous.Ha, wait for his sacrifice to be great.Let Severus pay first now, and the interest will be discussed later.

"Are you there?" Bert asked, seeing that Severus hadn't left.

Severus nodded silently, his face tensed, not knowing what to do.

Bert saw him as an enemy, so he couldn't force him to knock on the door.He himself went up and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" A man asked from inside the door.

"Hi, I'm Lily's friend, I'm here to find Lily." Burt replied obediently.Severus hated his airs, but he hated himself even more for having to rely on Bert.

"Wait a minute." The door opened.

A tall man with a flushed face, well-dressed and well-groomed.Bert looked at Severus indiscriminately, the clothes should be the best, they were whitish after washing, but they were still quite decent.

"Hi Uncle, I'm Burt Alfred, Lily's friend," Burt smiled brightly, and pulled Severus closer, "This is Severus Snape, also Lily's friend."

"Don't stand at the door and come in and say that Lily is also at home. Fortunately, it's the weekend, Lily doesn't go to school and is at home, you just go to the bedroom to find her." The man said casually, without any intention of looking down on the two children dressed in rags .Burt's well-bred behavior is also an impression plus point.

"Thank you Uncle, we're going to find Lily. If you have your own business to do, you don't have to worry about us." Burt said with a smile, and his pretty face added a lot of points to him.

"Lily, your friends are here!" The man shouted upstairs.

"Oh! Dad, my friend?" Lily's sweet voice came from upstairs, and there was another ding-dong-dong sound, and a red-haired girl in a white dress ran down in a panic.

"You play, I'm going to go to my work." The man touched Lily's head, helped her cut her hair, and turned to do his work.

Seeing Severus, Lily held Severus's hand eagerly: "I waited for a long time in the park yesterday, but you didn't come, I thought something happened to you, I wanted to go to your house, It's just that Petunia pulled me away..."

Severus froze the moment Lily grabbed him, unable to react.

"This beautiful lady," Burt pulled Severus's hand away from Lily, and quickly put it down, "I'm Burt Alfred, you can call me Alfred."

"Severus?" Lily glanced at the frozen Severus, then turned to look at Burt and shook hands with Burt with a smile, "I'm Lily, Lily Evans. You are Severus's Friends, that's my friend too, you sit down first, I'll make you a cup of tea."

Lily squinted her beautiful green eyes, and led the two of them upstairs to sit.

After a while a pot of tea was ready, and Lily poured everyone a cup.

"Severus is worried that you are angry with him," Burt chuckled, "I took him to the library against his wishes yesterday and missed your appointment, he was very upset." Lily had red hair, Green eyes, pretty face, full of life, she must be a great beauty in the future.However, this kind of beauty... Bert drew a cross in his heart.People who are too enthusiastic are scary to him.

Hearing Burt say this, Severus felt depressed for some reason.However, he did not refute.

"I don't blame Severus," Lily shook her head, expressing that she didn't care about Severus' failure to make an appointment yesterday, "I'm just worried that something happened to Severus yesterday! However, if Severus can come to me today, I'm relieved."

Speaking of this, Lily stood up: "Severus came to my house for the first time, and I just baked some biscuits, I'll get them for you." After finishing speaking, she ran down in a hurry.

"Sev," Burt didn't want to call Severus anymore, "your friend, very interesting." This was definitely not a compliment, and Severus could hear the irony in it.

"When did I allow you to call me by my nickname? Do I have such a good friendship with Your Excellency?" Severus frowned, his tone was too uncomfortable for him.

"Oh, Sev, we are good friends who have bathed and slept together, how can you turn your face and deny someone?" Burt made a sad look.

Severus wasn't going to bother with his affectation.

Lily opened the door and saw Burt's sad look, but Severus turned his face away and ignored it.

"Alfred, what's wrong with you?" She was at a loss.Burt didn't know her very well, and the little boy who was too good-looking made her very stressed. She put down the biscuits and stood there stupidly.

"It's nothing." Burt said "twitching", looking aggrieved, as if he dared to look at Severus but didn't dare to look at Severus.

Lily looked at Severus in disbelief: "Severus, how could you bully Alfred?"

"I didn't." Of course Severus didn't want to be wronged, especially Lily because of Burt's acting skills.

"Yes, he didn't." Burt aggrieved to speak up for Severus, and this made Lily feel that it was Severus who was bullying Burt.

"Severus!" Lily said harshly.

"I just want him to agree to a small request of mine, but he doesn't want to," Burt said with a look of impoliteness on all my requests, "I'm too strong to make things difficult for others."

A vein formed on Severus' forehead: "Bert!" He really wanted to punch the bastard!Turning right and wrong, outstanding acting!

"Okay, yell, yell!" Severus said angrily.

"You don't have to wrong yourself." Burt covered his face with his hands, looked at Severus' ugly face through his fingers, and laughed inwardly.

Seeing that Severus was about to explode with anger, Lily said hastily: "Alfred, Severus is not reluctant, he is very happy. If you don't believe me, look up, Severus is very happy to smile!"

Burt laughed heartily, and said in a trembling voice, "Really?"

Lily looked at Severus' ugly face in embarrassment, and nodded against her will: "It's true!" She held Severus's clothes corner with one hand.

Severus forced an extremely ugly "laugh".

Burt guessed that was the only way to go, slowly put down his hand, saw that Severus's expression was almost broken, but he steadied himself, his body trembling slightly: "It's great, Severus isn't angry with me .”

"Eat a biscuit, eat a biscuit!" Lily said hastily, shoving the biscuit into Bert and Severus' hands, fearing they would make another one.

Severus could only hurt internally, frowning as he ate his biscuit.

Burt ate the biscuit slowly, gracefully.

Lily is tired!
