Atonement of HP

In the blink of an eye, Snape had already lived in Malfoy Manor for a whole week. Should it be said that Malfoy Manor is worthy of being an old aristocratic manor?After Lucius learned that Snape had no next step at all, he immediately applied to Abrathas to build a potion laboratory and invited Snape to live there.To be honest, Lucius was a little apprehensive when he invited him. After all, the act of agreeing to live in a magic manor, especially an aristocratic manor, represented a kind of permission, a permission to allow the other party to enter his private life.

Unexpectedly, Snape agreed without hesitation. Snape, who had never understood the rules of aristocrats in the wizarding world, had no other ideas about living in the home of his best friend in the previous life, or his prospective friend in this life. The Malfoys, who speculated about Snape's parentage based on Snape's etiquette, agreed that the other party accepted their temptation and allowed it to go further.

So, Abraxas was very satisfied, his son is still very attractive! (That's why Abraxas often regretted saying that his son was too attractive.) Lucius was also very satisfied, his Sif (hey, who said it was yours? Lucius: Avada...) Agreeing to his further approach, you can proceed to the next step!Snape himself was more satisfied, living in a manor that provided food and housing for him, and provided materials for his research free of charge, not to mention that the owner gave him regular dividends. Snape finally lived a life similar to his previous life. Life.

The only thing that depressed Lucius was that Snape would never attend any party at Malfoy's house, he was like an invisible man living in Malfoy's house.It stands to reason that Lucius understood why Snape did this, not to mention that Abrathus specifically praised Snape for his scrutiny and self-knowledge, but Lucius was just unhappy, with a kind of "Snape" Pu deserves the best" eerie feeling.And as this feeling deepened, Lucius had to turn to his father for help.

"Father, do you have time?" Lucius knocked on the door of the study when Snape buried his head into the laboratory.

"Luke, what's the matter?" Seeing his son's rarely sullen face, since Snape lived in Malfoy's house, his son has always been sunny.Abraxas threw away the documents in his hand, business affairs and so on are never as important as his son.

"Father, I want to talk to you." Lucius said seriously, "I...I have something wrong recently."

Abraxas resisted the urge to jump up, flicked the snake staff in his hand, and five or six commonly used detection spells poured out, then he frowned, and threw out a few more spells that were obviously within the category of black magic.

"Father." Lucius was very moved by Abraxas's concern for him, but he didn't drink any potion, nor was he cursed: "I've noticed that I feel a little strange recently."

Seeing that his magic spell showed that everything was normal, Abraxas also let go of his worries, "Luke, I thought you were already in the fifth grade." Father, on the other hand, felt a little concerned that Lucius was in fifth grade and he still couldn't handle his "feelings", which wasn't good for an heir.

"Father..." Even Lucius felt a little awkward: "What do you think of Sever... Severus?"

Lucius' question finally made Abraxas a little alert: "Severus is fine." He narrowed his eyes and began to wonder if the half-breed had done something to his son, after all, his talent for potions was terrible Well, this is no longer a secret since the Malfoy family potion laboratory was built, and the Malfoy family has no secrets from the Malfoy family master.

Lucius understood his father's thoughts, and he turned pale: "Father, it's not what you think. Severus is a friend I recognize." He emphasized the word "friend".

Abraxas was not relieved by Lucius' reaction: "Luke, make it clear."

"It's like this," Lucius's twitching mood was completely frightened by his father, and his tone returned to his usual clarity: "I felt anxious and... and ashamed when I saw you alone in Severus." Lucius gritted his teeth: "Afterwards, I found that as long as Severus was by my side, I would feel very at ease, and even the magic power was faintly rising."

If Abraxas was still wondering if Snape had done something when Lucius began to narrate, he felt that things were a little out of control after Lucius said it.Merlin's stinky socks that haven't been washed for 1 years!Even though Lucius is still underage and his magic power has not reached the upper limit, it is rare for him to be able to clearly feel his magic power rising.For a moment, Abraxas was proud of his son, Merlin!What an honor to be a magically powerful heir to the Malfoy family!

But immediately, the cause of Lucius' change - Snape made Abraxas frown again.

Unlike other purebloods, Abraxas knew some of his apprentice's plans.After last Christmas, Tom Riddle, the junior Slytherin who had disappeared since graduation, suddenly contacted him.Merlin!Junior Riddle's changes are really too great: the original black eyes turned into red eyes, and there is a huge snake beside him. His powerful magic power and hissing snake language have become his symbols.

If he still can't figure out what happened to his exceptionally good junior when he was a student, Abrathas is not worthy to be the head of the Malfoy family!Obviously this is Tom Riddle, and of course he calls himself Voldmort now and got the approval of the Slytherin blood through some means, and what appeared before him was the heir of Slytherin who was already somewhat powerful.

This is why Abrathas is very concerned about the cooperation with Snape. This Slytherin junior is not what it used to be, and just because of the way he talks to the Malfoy master, Abrathas knows what he needs. Just the submission of the Malfoys.Maybe he doesn't have the ability to force them now, but he won't know in a few years.Lucius was still young, and he had to withstand the pressure before he could hand over the Malfoy family to him—Malfoy never succumbed to others.

And Snape now has the aptitude to be his dark card. He has potential and ambition, but the most important thing is that he lacks enough influence.Such a person is simply prepared for the Malfoy family!So not only did he not disturb the friendship between Lucius and Snape, but he also gave him various conveniences. But now, judging from his son's reaction, he knew that Snape might mean more to him than that.If there is no potential threat from Voldemort, Abraxas doesn't mind Lucius being with Snape. I believe that for a future potions master, childbirth potions are not a rare thing, let alone Snape's certainty of ancient noble blood.But the Malfoy family is not so stable. A potion master as a friend and a young lady from an ancient pure-blood family as a wife can protect the Malfoy family and Lucius most safely, even...even if he Even if something happens, it can protect Lucius' life.Although Abraxas didn't think anything would happen to him, it was his Patriarch's responsibility to anticipate all possible dangers in advance.

Thinking about it this way, Lucius couldn't choose Snape, not even a lover!He would have ruined a friendship with a potions master, and he would have ruined himself.

In a flash of thought, Abraxas made up his mind, looking at Lucius' trusting eyes, he was somewhat guilty: "Luke, it's nothing, it's just that you care too much about your friend Snape, just take it easy, Tell me about your roommate, remember you don't seem to like him very much, Luke, you are already a Slytherin prefect, you have to understand some things..."

Abraxas didn't finish, he believed his son would understand. "Yes, Father." Lucius lowered his head to hide the suspicion in his eyes: "You have to believe that the Malfoy's is the best!" He raised his head, showing his usual complacency.

In the end, Lucius walked back to his room with his chin raised, except for the study room under the satisfied eyes of Abrasas. After closing the door, he carefully found a corner where he could avoid the sight of all the portraits. His face became serious. .

Lucius is a perfect heir, so he easily discovered the strangeness of his father's attitude. The "Severus" who was good a few days ago became the relatively unfamiliar "Snape". Lucius It is clear that Abraxas has taken precautions against Sif in his heart.However, according to his father's explanation to him, Sif is his good friend and future master of potions, so there seems to be nothing to guard against.And, to distract himself from the subject, Abraxas asked his roommate, and if it wasn't for the fact that his new roommate was Sif, Lucius' mind might have been distracted by his unsuspecting father.By several coincidences, Lucius concluded that Abraxas had lied to him.

In other words, his abnormal reaction was not just because he was worried about his friends, and his reaction might harm the interests of the Malfoy family. Only this reason could explain Abrathas' lie.

Lucius was very upset, but he also knew that his father would not hurt him.So it seems that the abnormal emotions towards Sif can only be judged by himself. In addition, Lucius narrowed his eyes, he must not let his father know that Sif is living with him now, and he gave up because of this. The prefect's room!It seemed that it was imperative to transfer Sev back to his original dormitory. The room was a bit small, but it was better than being independent.

Once again, Lucius ignores the vague voice in his own heart: he just doesn't want Sev to live with people and people other than himself.
