[HP]Blue Soul

When Charlotte and the stars were setting off magic fireworks in the Allen Manor, Severus was standing in the corner of the living room in Malfoy Manor, listening to Lucius and three other people discuss matters related to the funeral the next day .It was not until late at night that the three people took their leave and left.

Weary Lucius rubbed the center of his brows, and said to Severus who was stuck in the corner like a stick, "You can go to rest first."

"It's not etiquette." Severus crossed his arms and looked up at Lucius slightly. "Actually, I don't quite understand why you invited me. In my capacity, it doesn't seem suitable to attend Lingfu's funeral."

Lucius stood up, walked to Severus's side, and said, "After all, you did your part to save my father. Although the result was not very good." He patted Severus on the shoulder, "I'll give you the remaining two stalks of Gastrodia, and I don't think I'll need them anymore."

Severus remembered that some time ago, Lucius bought a few plants of Gastrodia from the black market at a high price, just to let Severus add it to improve the quality of the effect when making dragon pox potion.But in the end, the potion still failed to save the life of Lucius' father, Abraxas Malfoy.

Dragon pox is an infectious disease of wizards and wizards, more common in older wizards, and has a fatal risk. In St. Mungo's, the symptoms can be alleviated, but there is no cure.Originally, Abraxas's condition was under control, but it suddenly became out of control on the eve of the summer vacation. Lucius, who was in a hurry, found Severus, who was very talented in potions, and hoped that Severus could help him. Create a potion that can counteract dragon pox.That's why Severus suddenly went to Diagon Alley during the summer vacation.

"Then I'll accept it, and you can still find me if you need potions in the future." Severus did not refuse Lucius' gift, because Gestrotte grass is not very rare among him. Something, there is a bag of potion materials that Charlotte gave him, "You don't look very good now, you can drink some beauty potions. I don't think you want to greet visiting guests in this state tomorrow. .”

Lucius nodded, closed his sore eyes, and murmured: "Tomorrow will be a big battle, but fortunately, with the Duke of Darkness supporting me, I won't be alone..." Lucius Turning around, straightening his back and walking slowly, even at this time he would not give up his elegant principles, and without turning his head, he said, "Go to sleep. I think you can still remember that the servants prepared for you Where is your room?"

After waiting for Lucius to disappear into the gorgeous living room, Severus breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the guest room that Lucius had prepared for him.The guest room in the Malfoy Manor was on the second floor of the side hall, and the room was more spacious and luxurious than any room Severus had ever seen.

He lay down on the white and soft bed, looked sideways at the gift Charlotte gave him beside the pillow, two sets of black wizard robes of very suitable size, very simple style, but the texture of the clothes was very soft and comfortable. The picky Lucius was full of praise for this: "This must be bought from a tailor-made clothing store, Sissy likes to buy robes there the most."

He pulled the wizard robe over his face, and when there was darkness in front of him, he could miss Charlotte without any scruples.He has always known Charlotte's uniqueness, and he also knows Charlotte's strength. When he sparred with Charlotte during the summer vacation, if it wasn't because he had a magic wand, he might have been knocked down by Charlotte.When he was young, he might have been proud of his magical powers, but now he is no longer. Even if he has magical powers, he is still isolated, at the bottom, and needs help from others.

Charlotte, who has no magic power, has jumped to a new mountain and has her own path.This gave him an uncontrollable sense of inferiority that he hadn't seen for a long time.The distance between him and Charlotte is constantly widening. Can he still stand by Charlotte's side like this?

At this moment, the Charlotte that Severus was thinking of was also thinking of him.It all started with a bedtime conversation she had with Ellen.

"I want to take the liberty to ask, em..." The silent atmosphere of sitting in the living room reading a book face to face was broken by what Charlotte said, but Charlotte thought that this question was really abrupt and presumptuous, so she didn't know that she was It's not really worth asking.

Allen said briskly without raising his head, "Ask."

"Why are you drunk?" Charlotte asked quickly.

Allen froze his hand as he was about to flip the book. He lowered his head for a while, then finally sighed and looked up at Charlotte, "I thought this matter was over, but you still asked." He put the book Put it aside, leaned on the sofa, slightly raised his head to look at the burning fire, Charlotte saw the orange light dancing in his eyes, and his expression was a little dazed.

After being silent for 2 minutes, he said again, "It's actually a very vulgar story. It starts with my family. The Travers family is a family that advocates pure blood. I was expelled because of intermarriage, which caused me to be treated unfairly by some people when I entered school. In fact, I didn’t think I should be a Slytherin at the beginning. I was not calm enough or strong enough, and I even had some low self-esteem, but The sorting hat sorted me there without hesitation. My mother died when I was very young. Pascal was obsessed with his research and basically ignored me. I grew up with a cat and raccoon , that's why I grew up loving magical creatures. I fell in love with a beautiful girl in Hufflepuff, her name was Gloria, she had thick silky hair, round lovely eyes, and a big smile There are also two lovely dimples..." Alan's tone still contained nostalgia and fascination, "She likes magical creatures as much as I do, and we made a secret appointment together to see magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest, of course because she didn't want to be watched by night watchmen. The professor has no choice but to give up. She will also take me to the kitchen next to the Hufflepuff common room to eat delicious food there."

"What's the kitchen like there?" Charlotte asked.

"It's very big. There are hundreds of house elves inside. As soon as we entered, they would enthusiastically ask us what we need to eat." Allen replied, and then he continued to fall into memories, "Since I met her in the second grade After that, I had a very happy life in the next few years, even though my cousin Talbert Travers often troubled me. But I didn't have the courage to express my heart to her until graduation. This is what I regret the most, After graduating, I was thrown into Pascal's laboratory by Pascal. After staying for more than a year, I really had no interest. I finally mustered up the courage to pursue my dream and pursue the girl I wanted. But it was too late, She's married." Alan's voice trembled slightly, and he covered his eyes with his arms, "She said I was still her friend, I don't know if she liked me, but in the end because of my Cowardly it's all over. I bought a house near her and every year before Christmas I sneak up on her to see if she's doing well. Thankfully, they're doing well and her The children are a few years older than you, and they are very happy."

"So you're so depressed you're drunk?" Charlotte said wordlessly.How do you say this in Chinese language? "It's self-inflicted, you can't live..." Charlotte thought inappropriately.

Allen squeezed out two low laughs from his throat, and said, "No one can remain calm when they see the person they like kissing and hugging others. Anyway, I definitely can't do it." Waiting for him to close his eyes His upper arm was lowered, his face had returned to calm, he sat up straight, stared at Charlotte and said to her: "So you have to hurry up, I have taught you this lesson before."

Charlotte quickly understood what Alan was talking about, which made her face flushed, and she faltered: "I'm only 12 years old, 12!"

"I found out that I fell in love with Gloria when I was 12 years old." Allen pouted, "Anyway, that's all I said. I'm going to bed! Go to bed too."

Because of this conversation, Charlotte tossed and turned on the bed, her mind was like a pot of porridge, and she couldn't fall asleep.There is no doubt that in her subconscious, such things as falling in love should wait until adulthood (I don't know where the conclusion came from, but she firmly believes), so even though she understands her affection and dependence on Severus, she has not yet Raise this feeling to love.

It wasn't until dawn that she escaped into a dream. This dream was different from the past. In the dream, she was holding someone's hand and slowly pacing leisurely in a woods. The flower of light, with a slightly bitter but very warm breath rippling from the tip of her nose, she felt joy, joy, excitement, and endless hope from the bottom of her heart.

When Severus woke up from his sleep, there was still a smile on his mouth, he didn't quite remember his dream, but he vaguely remembered the softness and warmth in his hands.But soon he couldn't think about it anymore, because the funeral was about to begin.He looked out of the window at the huge open garden, and the gate on the other side of the garden was already open, waiting for the guests who could arrive at any time.When he tidied himself up and stood in the corner by the corridor, the guests had already arrived one after another.

The adult Severus basically didn't know much, but he knew one or two of the children they brought with them, and they were basically Slytherins, or members of the Black Arts Society.

The first to arrive were Crabbe and Goyle who had been following Lucius. They were a year younger than Lucius, so they were still in the Black Arts Society.Probably because Lucius had ordered him, Crabbe and Goyle had been kind to him.

Next came Narcissa Black's family. Narcissa Black is now in the seventh grade and is also the prefect of Slytherin. She is currently the president of the Black Arts Society. She is Lucius' fiancée.Her blond hair was hidden under a black hat, and there was grief in her expression.She hurriedly walked to Lucius's side and gave him a hug, then stood beside Lucius and greeted the next person with him.

Following Narcissa Black was Sirius Black's family. Sirius Black's gloomy face could make people see his displeasure, which was very different from his carefree appearance at Hogwarts. The schoolboy Regulus Black, a very smart little guy, also joined the Black Arts Society.

Then more people came one after another, a beautiful but a little nervous brunette with a heavy face, a brown-haired man with a tired and thin face who looked like a vampire, and a young man next to him in the opposite state, and the last Wilkes, who he hated, was much more disciplined than the gangsters at school who taunted him. Even his father walked with him in a cautious and flattering manner. The man on the left is talking.

When everyone entered the living room, Severus quietly walked to his usual corner, which was so remote that almost no one would notice him.

The guests laid flowers around the coffin in the center of the living room one by one, surrounded by low voices, and Lucius stood in front of the three funeral planners and talked to several grown men face to face, Lucius Severus's furrowed eyebrows and Narcissa Black's worried look not far away made Severus realize that Lucius' situation was not very good.Until someone's footsteps sounded, a man in his 40s came in from the hall.

He had the same black hair as Severus, and he was wearing a dark green luxurious wizard robe. His demeanor and magic pressure told Severus how powerful this man was.As soon as he entered the hall, the sound in the hall disappeared instantly, which made the sound of his footsteps more clear, patter, as if hitting everyone's hearts.The person in front of Lucius also backed away, as if to give the man the place next to him.

The man stood beside Lucius, and Lucius's frowning brows were smoothed away. The arrival of this man seemed to give him a reassurance, making him completely relaxed.The man quickly scanned the crowd in the hall, he didn't even miss Severus in the corner, but he didn't pay Severus too much attention, he put his hand on the coffin and said: " I am very sorry that our loyal and excellent friend Abraxas Malfoy has left us. He was one of the pioneers of our great cause, and I respect him very much." The man's voice was low but full of convincing deterrence "Although he has left, he has an equally excellent heir, Lucius Malfoy." Lucius bowed his head politely to the crowd, and the man continued, "Our great cause will not If you are affected, I will eventually lead you to the top of the magic world."

Severus stood in the corner, looking at the man who was still talking about the grand blueprint, he suddenly realized the identity of this man, this is the Duke of Darkness, the object of admiration for everyone in the Black Arts Society, even the latest member Ray Gurus Black is his ardent admirer.At this moment, he also suddenly understood why the people in the academy worshiped him, because the words of the Duke of Darkness were like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart one after another, making his heart speed up uncontrollably, and his blood began to boil.Everything that the Dark Duke said made him yearn for it.

Until the Dark Lord called a few names and went to the chamber, Severus still couldn't get out of that emotion.The others had already followed Lucius into the dining room in the side hall, and Severus didn't follow, but walked to the garden. He was hot all over and wanted to cool off in the cold wind.

He walked in the gardens, past the white peacocks whose feathers were as white as glowing in the courtyard, the rows of beautifully manicured heather trees, and the great fountain that still spewed water.He walked round and round in the garden, thinking about his path forward, whether he should be like those in the Black Arts Society, enter the Death Eaters after graduation, follow in the footsteps of the Dark Duke, and realize his great ideals.

He didn't stop until he felt a little cold.He cast a warming spell on himself, and was about to walk out of the corner, but through the gap between the trees, the overlapping figures of two people made him stop.It was Lucius and Narcissa who were kissing.

Of course Severus knew that this was not something to stare at, but at this moment he couldn't move, because when he looked at them, what appeared in his mind was another person's smiling face.In the end, he still shook his head to restrain himself, and ran away without looking back.He didn't see the close two separate after he left, and Lucius even glanced at where he had been standing.

When Abraxas was buried, Severus stood at the end of the crowd in order to avoid Sirius Black and Wilkes. Through the layers of backs, he couldn't see what was going on at the front, but He could clearly hear the voice of the Dark Lord lingering in his ears.

After the funeral, the crowd dispersed sparsely, and Severus hid behind two bushes side by side, watching Sirius Black pass by, and he was saying to Regulus Black with displeasure wearing something.Finally, Narcissa reluctantly bid farewell to Lucius and left with her parents.

The crowd dispersed and the cemetery returned to silence before Lucius brought Severus back to the manor. He said, "I haven't seen you much today."

"You know I don't like being in the public eye." Severus pursed his lips.

"This is not a good habit." Lucius said. At this time, he regained his original elegance and self-control, as if his fatigue and pain had been buried underground with Abrasachs. He squinted at Xi Fleurs, "Actually, I saw you this afternoon. You were in the corner of the garden."

Severus's face became hot all of a sudden, he didn't expect that he was discovered in such a short 2 minutes.At this moment, he was embarrassed and wanted to find a crack to get in.He turned his head to one side and started staring at the crack in the ground, as if that was the only way he wouldn't run away under Lucius' sight.

But Lucius laughed, "It's not a big deal. It's just human nature, and I'm not cheating. As long as Sissy graduates from Hogwarts, I will marry her back."

"I see you can't wait," Severus whispered.

"Yes, I really can't wait. With Sissy here, I'm sure I can relax a lot." Lucius said a little flamboyantly, "What about you? Do you need to think about finding a target? I can introduce you Some girl from a pure-blood family."

Severus shook his head, he didn't need those pretentious pure-blood girls.If he would really like a girl, he would either be like a bright sun like Lily, or a gentle moon like Charlotte.They are all equally pure, equally passionate, and they are the light they long for.

Seeing that Severus remained silent, Lucius shook his head and said, "You don't mean to marry that Gryffindor red rose, do you? You don't seem to be the same people." He said with a little contempt , "You'd better not have anything to do with the Mudblood."

So what about Mudbloods, I'm just a half-breed too, Severus thought.

But he didn't refute, or he didn't intend to refute Lucius.On the one hand, Lucius, who grew up from a pure-blood family and has deep-rooted pure-blood thoughts, cannot be changed by him. On the other hand, he cannot lose his livelihood because of offending Lucius, and he still needs to rely on his help.What's more, he already has the idea of ​​following the Duke of Darkness, and he needs Lucius as his guide.

For the next dozen or so days, Severus seemed to be rooted in the study of Malfoy Manor.The Malfoy family has a long and long history, which makes them have a solid background in all aspects, and the same is true for storing books. In this study room, which is like a small library, you can see all kinds of ancient magic and profound magic. There are also all kinds of black magic.

Because of Lucius' decision, his potion orders would be suspended during the Christmas holidays, which gave him plenty of time to plunge into the sea of ​​books and absorb knowledge without sleep or food.

Until the last day, he found a scroll with "Occlumency" written on it.Occlumency is not black magic. It is a kind of profound and remote magic, but it is also a very useful magic. It can not only be used to close the mind and prevent others from being spied on, but also help the user to clear their minds and keep calm , and even create "false illusions".

This was exactly what Severus needed.In fact, he is easily offended, and at some point, he often gives away his thoughts because he cannot control his emotions and expressions.If he learns this magic, he can hide himself better.

He borrowed Occlumency from Lucius, and Lucius was a little surprised: "I thought you would like those black magics more. However, this magic is not bad, you can take it. An excellent master of black magic should also learn This, for example Gellert Grindelwald is a master of Occlumency at great skill."

"Thank you." Severus stuffed the Occlumency parchment into his robes.

"Are you going back to Hogwarts tomorrow? I have business to deal with, so I won't see you off in person. I'll ask my servant to take you to the station." Lucius said, "By the way, black magic About the academy, Gore and Crabbe told me that you, the vice president, are still being squeezed out? I hope you can gain a firm foothold as soon as possible, and you won’t let me down, right? Sissy can’t help you all the time Pressure, she will graduate next year. After she leaves, she may hand over the president to you, at least in the second half of the school year, you have to be worthy of the position of president."

He wasn't surprised why Lucius wanted him to be the president of the Black Arts Society, because he was the only one who had no background and group in the academy, not to mention that other than him, everyone else didn't seem very smart.

Severus nodded, somewhat confident of that.His newly invented curses are almost finished, and these few spells can definitely shut the mouths of those idiots in the academy.
