stray in HP

Li Zixu and the others did not return to Hogwarts. After all, Severus was still young and had not received the admission letter from Hogwarts, so he could not get the asylum of Hogwarts. Therefore, he went to Hogwarts Not a good choice.

However, although Li Zixu has stayed in Hogwarts or his mage tower for a long time, he still owns some real estate around the world. Now he directly took Severus to the nearest London of a manor.

This manor is not big, but the place is not bad. There is a small forest on the back of the manor, and a small river flows in front of it. The nearby land is full of various varieties of roses. The sweet scent of roses.

Severus, who was brought here, had empty eyes and said nothing, if it weren't for the heat on his body, he would have looked like a living dead.

Li Zixu is not a psychologist either, he looked critically at Severus's dirty clothes, dirty face, dirty hands, and then at his own messy clothes, wrinkled Frowning, he carried Severus directly into the bathroom.

The large bathtub in the bathroom was almost filled with hot water at this moment, and the water steamed up. Li Zixu took off the clothes on Severus directly, and ordered the servants in the manor to prepare suitable new clothes. Changing into a bathrobe, he led Severus into the bathtub.

Severus still didn't react at all, he was soaked in the water numbly, if it wasn't for Li Zixu, he would almost sink to the bottom of the water.

Li Zixu frowned. He is not a very good-tempered person. Although this child is pitiful, but he is really difficult to deal with. Li Zixu let go, without Li Zixu's strength, Severus sank directly In the water, I quickly choked a few mouthfuls of water into it.

He didn't move at first, but survival is everyone's instinct, so soon, Severus was thumping desperately, and his eyes were a little more angry.

Only then did Li Zixu pull him up, looked at him with raised eyebrows, and said coldly: "Finally, he's not so stupid anymore, who will show him a half-dead look!"

Gritting his teeth, Severus suddenly said, "Why do you want to save me, I don't want your pity!"

Li Zixu snorted coldly: "If your great-grandfather hadn't made a deal with me before he died, asking me to protect the last bloodline of the Prince family, I wouldn't bother with you!"

Severus froze for a moment, then pursed his lips tightly, and remained silent.

Li Zixu threw him a towel casually, and said flatly: "The soap box and shampoo are by the pool, clean yourself up!"

Seeing that Severus was indifferent, Li Zixu lowered his head, looked at the boy standing stiffly in the pool, the water almost covered his neck, lowered his voice, and said in a low voice: "Your parents don't want you anymore, don't you Don't want them to regret abandoning you? You will live better than when you were with them, you will be well educated, you will be respected by people, you will become a learned master, honor or wealth, You can get it at your fingertips! At that time, you can stand upright in front of your parents and let them know that not wanting you is their loss!"

This statement is actually not so tenable, what if the couple live a more nourishing life without the son of Severus!But obviously, Severus just needed a reason to live.

Severus stared straight at Li Zixu for a while, and finally picked up the towel silently and began to scrub.

Li Zixu didn't say any more, just got up and left.

"That kid is a wolf cub!" Salazar smiled lightly when he saw Li Zixu came out in a different outfit, "However, he still has a bit of talent!"

Li Zixu sighed lightly: "No matter what, he is still a child!"

Salazar had a somewhat disapproving expression on his face: "In my time, wizards had no children. If you have been naive, just wait to be burned!"

He glanced at Li Zixu, leaned over, bit Li Zixu's ear, and said, "Al, you are so kind to that little guy, I'm going to be jealous!"

Li Zixu laughed dumbly, and pushed Salazar away angrily: "Come on, that's still a child, and the hair hasn't grown yet!"

Salazar embraced Li Zixu, and laughed lowly. Li Zixu turned around and kissed him, and said, "Okay, let's figure it out! Although the child's custody is in our hands, we can't bring him to Go Hogwarts!"

Salazar snorted softly at the side: "Even if it's possible, that's not okay! It's not our own child, so what's the matter with being inserted between us!"

Feeling the slight sourness in Salazar's tone, Li Zixu was almost overjoyed, but after thinking for a while, he said, "Why don't we entrust him to Gellert! Anyway, that kid is not married and has no children! Now It’s not time to join the Dark Council, and besides, that kid has a lot of talented people under his command, and he can provide a better education!”

Salazar naturally agreed, as long as Li Zixu didn't want to adopt himself, who would he care about giving the child to?What's more, it is also a good thing to hand over to Grindelwald. Maybe in the future, besides the Prince family, he can inherit the Grindelwald family!

While speaking, Severus had finished taking a shower, changed into the clothes prepared by the servants in the manor, and appeared awkwardly.

Li Zixu saw Severus pulling the hem of his new clothes uncomfortably, stood there with a stiff expression, and laughed: "After washing, he is still a handsome young man, but he has lost some weight! Okay, Little guy, eat first, after dinner, let's discuss your problem again!"

Severus bit his lower lip, raised his head and looked straight into Li Zixu's eyes, with a bit of unwillingness: "Do I have room to object?"

"Of course, little guy, you can object, we will properly consider whether your opinion is reasonable or not!" Li Zixu twitched the corners of his mouth happily, showing a chuckle.

Severus fell silent.

Several maids quickly put the food on the table, and then stepped back.

Dinner is a typical western food, charcoal grilled steak, Italian macaroni, fried eggs, sausage, vegetable salad, mushroom bacon puree, dessert is cheese cake with mango ice cream.

Severus kept a sullen face, holding a knife and fork clumsily, eating a sumptuous dinner that was unprecedented for him, but he was a little nervous. Several times, the knife scratched the bone china plate With a harsh sound, he became even more nervous.

Li Zi sighed secretly, and comforted: "It doesn't matter, take your time, you are still young, you can learn etiquette slowly!"

While Salazar wanted to speak, Li Zixu shot him with a sharp eye, and he had to swallow what he wanted to say.

This is the difference between the East and the West. In China, people who dote on their children, when they are six or seven years old, don't talk about table manners. If the parents don't coax and persuade them, they will not eat.In Europe, though, once children are able to pick up cutlery, they have to feed themselves.Especially the nobles, when they were five or six years old, their etiquette was already decent.However, being born into such a family, Severus is doing very well now.

After stumbling through dinner, the maid quietly removed the tableware, and several people moved to the living room. Li Zixu sat lazily on a single sofa, and Salazar squeezed directly next to Li Zixu. In desperation, half of the seats were given up, and the two sat together like no one else.

Severus was still very young and didn't know any moral concepts such as ethics. Therefore, he just thought that the two were a little weird, so he didn't think much about it. He sat on the other sofa with some restraint.

Li Zixu knocked on the coffee table, and there was a large glass of milk and two cups of Darjeeling black tea on the coffee table. Li Zixu smiled slightly: "Just talking about homework, don't be nervous! Let's drink something first, we have plenty of time!"

Severus forced himself to calm down, reached out to take the glass of milk, took a sip, and held it in his hand, caressing the wall of the glass unconsciously with his tiny fingers, his eyes were a little dazed.

Li Zixu took the teacup himself, and took the other cup into Salazar's hand, then, holding the cup like this, folded his legs together, leaned comfortably on the back of the sofa, and said: "Then, Xi Fleurs, you can call me that way!"

Veins popped out on the back of Severus' hands, and he said angrily, "If you don't call it this, what else can you call it? Am I still Snape now?"

Salazar narrowed his eyes, a little displeased: "Little guy, pay attention to being polite! Of course, Al promised the old Prince to take care of you, but in fact, Al only needs to ensure that you inherit the Prince family. Instead of accommodating you in everything!"

Severus pursed his lips, and after a long time, he whispered, "Sorry, sir!"

Li Zixu nodded slightly: "Then, Severus, according to our agreement with your biological parents, your custody has been transferred to me!"

Severus nodded silently, eyes half down, he was a little panicked, what's going on?It seems that because of the appearance of these two people, his parents don't want him anymore. However, although he is young, he can be said to be precocious. He knows that even if these two people don't show up, the couple still won't take him seriously.He clenched his lower lip unconsciously, and a bloody taste filled his mouth.

Salazar said coldly on the side: "However, although we are your guardians now, due to various reasons, it is impossible for us to bring you by your side to cultivate education like ordinary guardians. Therefore, we have some guardians now. Idea, I hope to get your consent!"

Li Zixu glanced at Salazar, feeling a little helpless, he could only add on the sidelines: "Of course, we will try our best to satisfy you! To be honest, although both of us were parents before, at that time, we didn't To be able to fulfill our duties as parents! In a way, we are no more family responsible people than your parents. Therefore, in order to fulfill your great-grandfather's wishes, we need to go to Hogwarts again for you Make a proper arrangement for your life in the first few years of school!"

"Hogwarts?" Severus caught the word sharply.

Salazar nodded approvingly: "Yes, Hogwarts, when you are 11 years old, you will receive a Hogwarts admission letter, and young wizards born in England will all go to Hogwarts! And now, Al is teaching at Hogwarts, so the two of us will leave Hogwarts all year round and only during holidays (this is simply talking nonsense with your eyes open), you are too young to grow up Time lives at Hogwarts, so we have to entrust you to someone else during this time!"

Severus looked up at Salazar, then at Li Zixu on the side, and said after a long time, "I can take care of myself!"

Li Zixu shook his head: "This idea is unrealistic! Maybe you don't know what the surname Prince represents. This surname has lasted for thousands of years in the magic world, and it has also been prominent for thousands of years. Originally, your mother was the only daughter of the Prince family because of the withering of children. According to the tradition of the magic world, she should choose a suitable noble child to marry in order to continue the Prince family. Unfortunately, your mother The family relationship is not deep, so she escaped from the magic world. Although your great-grandfather never expelled her, it is obvious that she can no longer bear the responsibilities of the family. Therefore, your great-grandfather left a will, which will The Prince family left it to you!"

"The Prince family is a veteran aristocrat in the magic world, with rare wealth and prestige, and as an heir to the aristocracy, you started too late! Therefore, in the past few years, we will arrange suitable tutors for you , to teach you the common sense you should know as an heir to the nobility, as well as the necessary training before entering school!" Li Zixu explained.

Severus' eyes widened, he gritted his teeth, and whispered, "Do I have to learn this?"

Li Zixu took a deep look at him: "You have to realize the fact that we adopted you not because we pitied you or sympathized with you. You know, there are many people in the world who are more miserable than you, and we are not saints." It's just because of your great-grandfather's entrustment before he died, he wanted you to inherit the Prince family, so we need to do so many things! Of course, if you are willing to be a waste, we can't It can be said, but if you don't have enough ability, then you, who inherited the Prince family, are like a child walking in the downtown with gold, and you are bound to be swallowed to the bone, don't you? Do you want your future to be like this?"

Severus was silent again, for a long time before he nodded.

Salazar said on the side: "Well, since you have agreed to this, the next step is easy! Originally, there was a public elementary school in the magic world, and the noble class there would accept noble heirs like you, but, also because You started too late, and this choice is not suitable for you for the time being, because your past is completely different from theirs. In the past few years, you could not integrate into them. Rather than being rejected by others after entering, it is better to go to school Before, let you figure out all the familiar things. At that time, you can easily get into that group of children. When you go to Hogwarts in the future, you will not be with those classmates. There is no common topic!"

Li Zixu asked: "If you think there is no problem, are you willing to temporarily leave England for a few years?"

Li Zixu explained: "To be honest, although most of the nobles in the UK are my students, they are only students, and the Prince family is in the UK. If you are entrusted to the British nobles, then, In the future, the Prince family will inevitably have to pay some price. However, I have a junior in Germany. He is one of the best figures in Germany. He is worthy of respect both in knowledge and character. I want to send you to him There, of course, during the holidays, we will visit you, what do you think?"

Severus didn't say anything, but Li Zixu said that the matter has almost been decided, even if he doesn't want to, so what?However, for a long time, he still muttered: "I don't know German, sir!"

"That's not a problem!" Li Zixu smiled slightly, "As a nobleman, you should be proficient in multiple languages. Therefore, at the beginning, you can communicate in English, but you also need to learn German! There, you have to learn many languages. , such as German, French, of course, because you are a wizard, you still have to focus on learning Latin and Old English, as for the rest, it depends on your learning ability! To be honest, there are quite a lot of things you need to learn, of course, no It will be beyond your ability to bear!"

"Is this what nobles all do?" Severus' hand holding the milk glass was a little blue.

"The top nobles are all knowledgeable people!" Li Zixu smiled, "Of course, just do what you can, and you don't need to have too much psychological burden!"

Severus nodded.

Li Zixu smiled: "Okay, since we have reached a consensus, then, our Mr. Severus Prince, drink the milk in the cup, and then go to wash up. It's getting late now, as a child, You should rest early!"

Without letting the servant lead the way, Li Zixu took Severus to the bathroom, and pointed out to him his towel, toothbrush, and mug. After Severus finished washing, he gave him a silk pajamas Let him change it, and then took him to his bedroom.

After tucking in the quilt for Severus, Li Zixu kissed his forehead and said with a smile, "The wall lamp can be turned on, and you can pull this rope if you need something. So, good night, little Severus!"

Severus opened his mouth slightly in the shadows, but in the end he didn't speak, just closed his eyes.

Li Zi sighed humbly, children with psychological shadows are really difficult to coax, it seems that, should Gellert find a psychiatrist for help?Thinking of this in his heart, Li Zixu walked out lightly and closed the bedroom door.

Behind the door, under the dim light of the wall lamp, Severus' eyes were opened again, and his eyes were full of bewilderment.
