Atonement of HP

Chapter 17 Lucius' Surprise

Snape didn't say a word, but just looked at his friend fixedly, he knew that the more anxious he was at this time, the more Lucius hung his appetite.Snape has always been a willful person, what he doesn't like is not following his wishes.There was silence between the two of them for a while, and the smug expression on Lucius' face gradually became a little awkward, and finally put it away helplessly.

"Okay, okay, you win." Lucius seemed to have dimmed even his platinum blonde hair.

Snape rolled his lips maliciously: "Then, now, the great Malfoy prefect, can you tell his humble friend about that so-called surprise?"

"I said you called me 'Lucius' when no one was around, Sev fouled." Lucius complained half-truthfully, but in his heart he was delighted by the "friend" that Snape himself admitted, It seemed that every fiber of his being rejoiced with Snape's acknowledgment of his approach.

Snape looked at Lucius's cuteness with a dark face, and he had the illusion that he was raising a kitten in his heart, especially the platinum blonde hair, I really wanted to touch it, and then the color would definitely be more dazzling. "Lucius." He warned, although his face was calm, but he was a little puzzled about his reaction in his heart. In his last life, he didn't seem to have the mentality to be so close to Lucius, so what is going on now? thing?But Snape didn't have a chance to think too much, because what Lucius said next was really a surprise.

"Oh, my dear Sev," Lucius still kept his face under the warning, and the aria was stretched longer: "Have you heard of the apprenticeship system?"

apprentice?Snape was puzzled, as if he had never understood what an apprentice was. "Maybe Lucius, your brain that should think about other things besides opening your screen should remember that your half-blood junior comes from the Muggle world."

"Okay, okay, I just didn't expect that your mother didn't even tell you this." Lucius just wanted to test Snape's details temporarily, although Abraxas promised that Snape would not Telling the third person about finding his relatives didn't mean he couldn't tell his son about Snape's family, since he didn't let Lucius follow him anyway.Sure enough, a Muggle-married lady from an unknown, pure-blooded family got Lucius' full attention. Slytherin doesn't like Dinger a little bit, and Slytherins value their families, and they never shy away from their responsibilities.

"Lucius!" Snape warned again, this time with a more serious voice, although he did not agree with his mother's actions, especially because of Tobias Snape broke his heart, but he could not deny The most important thing is that his mother is the only warmth in his life, and the touch of blood is the only connection he will not betray.

"Okay, I'm sorry." Lu

Hughes showed his sincerity by underlining the word "mother" to indicate that it was one of Snape's forbidden areas. "The apprenticeship system is a way of imparting knowledge that has been passed down from ancient times. Before the Big Four established Hogwarts, there were only two sources of knowledge and abilities for all wizards—either family inheritance or apprenticeship. At that time Wizards who have the ability to teach knowledge are very capable wizards. After the Big Four established Hogwarts, every little wizard had the opportunity to receive education, and the apprenticeship system began to decline because of the harsh conditions and the difficulty of becoming a teacher. As a result, this system gradually withered, and almost disappeared in modern times. To become an apprentice of a certain master, at least three conditions must be met: be guaranteed by an ancient pure-blood nobleman or a famous wizard; come up with the apprenticeship ceremony proposed by the master; In addition, the apprentice's own ability is valued by the teacher. The standard for becoming a teacher is even stricter, and one must become a quasi-master in the field of the teacher to be a teacher. Of course, during the apprenticeship period, all the teachers who have achieved the apprentice enjoy the first naming rights and Half of the sales rights."

Lucius paused, waiting for Snape to digest the long string of messages.Snape was very puzzled, why hadn't he heard of this thing in his last life?But he soon understood that when he first emerged in his last life, the Dark Lord had already risen, and those masters had no time to hide, so how could he recruit disciples in a high-profile way?As for the fact that after I became a master of potions, I first made potions for the Dark Lord, and later entered Hogwarts as a double agent. Neither the Dark Lord nor the White Wizard had any reason to tell me about this system, after all , tools do not need to be inherited.

Seeing that Snape nodded, Lucius went on to say, "My message is, Sev, the Malfoys are willing to vouch for you and introduce you to become Professor Slughorn's apprentice." In fact, this matter It was Abraxas who suggested that what could be better than to tie a Potions Master and a would-be Potions Master to the Malfoy house?Taking advantage of Slughorn's cunning old seal before getting wind of it, tying him up ahead of time was also a bargaining chip for the Malfoy family.So this matter started to be discussed after Abrathas met with Snape, and Slughorn also made his own request - this insatiable Slytherin proposed a blood thread grass over three years old .Abraxas could only curse Slughorn for taking advantage of the fire while opening the Malfoy's collection helplessly.Before they started school, the Malfoy family had prepared everything, and now it was just Slughorn's exam for Snape himself.

Although Snape didn't quite understand Abraxas' considerations, but from his point of view, there were definitely a lot of benefits.Slughorn will serve as his perfect shield. Since the standards for apprentices are so strict, they naturally have their own unique features, and the protection of apprentices will be inevitable.Besides, "Lucius, what does the Malfoy family's guarantee mean?"

Lucius nodded secretly, and quickly grasped the key to the problem, Xi

Fern was a standard Slytherin, "It's nothing." Lucius began to unbutton his shirt.

"What are you doing, Lucius! If you remember, this is a public place, has your brain been trampled by a troll? Or is this the new fashion of the nobility, loosening, undressing, undressing and belting in public! In the end, Snape couldn't tell whether he was angry with Lucius undressing in front of him or Lucius undressing in public.

"Sev, I just want to show you." Lucius looked very innocent, and the movements of his hands were not slow at all. Soon, the shirt slid down his shoulders, and Lucius wrapped his arms skillfully, pearly white His shirt hangs on his forearm indelibly.Snape couldn't bear to look directly at him, his face was already flushed, Lucius's platinum-blond hair, which had been capped off his shoulders, was mischievously floating around his shoulders like white jade, and further down was green but began to thicken His chest was dotted with... Stop, Snape lowered his head, thanking for the millionth time that his half-length hair perfectly covered his ears.

But Lucius still didn't realize it, and stroked his left chest with one hand, "Look, Sev, it's here." Lucius leaned in front of Snape, half forcing the latter look up.Snape raised his head expressionlessly, and he could still find that his eyes were empty, and Occlumency was running at full speed.

"It's right here, look!" Lucius' fingertips seemed to have inadvertently scratched across the little red dot on his left chest, Snape was forced to look at it, and kept hypnotizing himself that the red dot was the eye of a bat, It's bat eyes...fuck his bat eyes!Damn Merlin deserves to be crushed by King Arthur for the rest of his life!Don't you know bats are blind?Did you know that bats fly by echoes?Didn't know that bat eyes are purely decorative?What's up with the red eyed one now?Snape almost swears!

"Hehe." Lucius laughed softly, he moved closer to Snape, Snape subconsciously stepped back, his back was on the back of the chair, his Occlumency had been used to the extreme, his hands were tightly pressed against his body On the other side, the greatest potion master who is certain in this century is as stiff as a petrification curse at this moment, unable to even push away the person in front of him.

"Isn't Sev curious what the Malfoy family's guarantee is?" Lucius leaned into Snape's ear, and they sat together.One bent down to speak in the ear of the other, and Snape's breath spat on Lucius' bare shoulders, a little itchy, bringing up goose bumps.

"This is the guarantee of the Malfoy family." Lucius continued, with unmistakable tenderness in his voice: "Sev is very smart, and he knows that the apprenticeship system is a constraint for both parties. The teacher must protect the safety of the apprentice, and the apprentice Do your best. And promise," Lucius paused, his voice quieter, and Snape had to close the distance between them again.As if impatient with Snape's slowness, Lucius put his arm on Snape's shoulders, and from a distance, Snape seemed to be embraced by Lucius. "Guarantee requires strong magic power or bloodline power to ensure that apprentices will not betray, and at the same time monitor the life status of apprentices. Each guarantee is sworn by its own magic power or bloodline, which is why only wizards with powerful magic power or ancient Aristocratic families will be responsible. Each guarantor will have a special totem. As for the location, hehe, no one knows where it will be, but it must be relatively secret. You must know that the wizarding world was not like this thousands of years ago safe."

"Why you?" Snape murmured. He didn't ask about the punishment for failure of the guarantee. Swearing by one's magic power or bloodline itself explained the fate of failure of the guarantee.

"Because I am the next generation head of the Malfoy family." Lucius's low but clear voice sounded in Snape's ear, and then Snape smelled the smell of Lucius, like a fine moonlight flower, It was just the glimpse under the moonlight that made him firmly remember the taste.

Lucius pulled away, packing his shirt, watching Snape, who was thinking about something, but he didn't intend to disturb, in fact Snape's last question disturbed his mind.

Why was it him? It wasn't his. His father was going to pledge his own magic power as a guarantee, but before the spell was completed, Lucius interrupted him, thinking that some kind of totem representing Snape would be engraved on his father's body. Hughes felt angry, like the anger that his belongings were being coveted.So he offered to replace it, and Abraxas smiled meaningfully, but he didn't care at all.

Sure enough, a bat appeared on his left chest, and he couldn't be happier with the position.

It looked a little awkward in the compartment, but fortunately Hogwarts was about to arrive, and after changing the school robe and taking it off, Lucius realized that he had forgotten to tell Snape about the dormitory, but it didn't matter, he would see him.Lucius remembered the prefect badge in his hand and smiled wickedly.
