Reminiscing about the lunch with Snape in the cellar, Jack looked at the headmaster's office, um, it was - a nice place... His eyes caught a bird dozing off on a shelf, that is, a turkey?This... Mr. Principal has as much taste in pets as his clothes...

"Hehe, good afternoon, Severus and Mr. Raymond, please sit down, would you like a cup of tea?"

Two chairs suddenly appeared in front of him, and a cup of steaming tea was floating in the air. Jack smiled and watched Snape sitting down with a cold face. The idea of ​​a cup of tea that looks pretty good.

"Albus, with your cavity potions still cooling in the cauldron, and I don't want to be the second person after you to need them, put away your mind-bogglingly sweet 'drink'! I don't have much time to waste here!"

"Uh, thanks, Headmaster Dumbledore, I don't think I need to."

Regrettably letting the tea disappear, Dumbledore looked at Jack with a smile.

"Mr. Raymond, it seems that you have not been in the wizarding world for a long time? I am surprised that Severus has such a good friend, which is really good!"

Smiling, Jack thought back to Snape's warning to him 'Keep your mouth shut, don't get distracted, he doesn't know anything, except your name and you've just arrived in the wizarding world! '

"Hehe, yes, because of some special reasons - I'm sorry I can't tell you, I came here, um, I got the help of Sif, you know, my body, I am a little troubled, and Sev's potion , can provide me with some help."

"Oh, yes, yes, those powers, Harry told me, are very powerful! Against basilisks, even wizards with powerful magic powers cannot do that."

"Oh no, Principal Dumbledore, you have also seen that my powers have not very good aftereffects after use, and those powers are not easy to control, I don't even remember the process."

Frowning, Jack expressed his annoyance about his ability, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Snape's slightly flicking fingers.

"Well...Mr. Raymond, if possible, I will be happy to help you as much as I can."

Smiling, Jack thanked him.

"Thank you very much, Principal Dumbledore. It is for this reason that I came to see Sev this time. He has never missed an appointment before. This time there is no news for so long. I am a little worried. I am also surprised that I participated in such a time. Uh , activities, it seems that this place is not as safe as it seems?"

Dumbledore blinked and took a sip from his teacup.

"Hehe, I think this time it was an accident, but thanks to your help, we solved it very well. Then, Mr. Raymond, how do you feel about the wizarding world? What are you going to do?"

Nodding, Jack smiled modestly.

"I'm very glad to be able to help you. This place is very good and amazing. As for what to do, I have no plans yet. Let's see. After all, I haven't been here for a long time. Maybe I will open a shop? Who knows~"

"Hehe, you can let Severus take you around more, there are still many good places in the wizarding world!"

"Hehe, that's of course good, but Sev doesn't seem to have a lot of free time when he's teaching. Before discussing medicine with me, it also took up his little rest time. I'm very sorry!"

"It's okay, I think Severus is very happy to have you as a friend~"

……

Listening to the nonchalant, homely conversation between the two, Snape heaved a sigh of relief. Of course, it was invisible on the surface, and Jack even made up for the reason why he often left at night before. , This is very good. Although it is full of loopholes, it will be more suspicious if it is too detailed!

"Albus, I'm sorry if you're dragging me here just to hear you guys discuss this trivial matter! I don't think I mean to accompany you! As for Mr. Raymond, his potion is still in my cellar!"

Impatiently, Snape interrupted the conversation between the two smiling people from the beginning to the end. Now that the goal has been achieved, there are many mistakes, no matter what, Dumbledore is not as easy to fool as he seems on the surface !

"Oh, Severus, it's rare for Mr. Raymond to come, okay, okay, I understand your eagerness to talk to your long-lost friend~"

Staring at Dumbledore who was blinking straight at him, Snape's face darkened.

"Albus, your brain is literally covered in syrup and can't function properly!"

Directly ignoring Snape's 'posture', Dumbledore turned to winking at Jack.

"Oh, Severus is always so shy, Mr. Raymond, it seems that Severus likes you very much, when we got there..."

"Albus. Dumbledore!! I never knew you were so good at what witches are good at! Put your curiosity elsewhere, I don't need your interference in my life!"

Pushing his glasses, Dumbledore looked a little helpless.

"Severus, I just want you to be happy. You can see that Mr. Raymond is very important to you!"

For Dumbledore's sudden blunt speech, Snape couldn't answer for a while, so he could only keep his mouth shut with a black face. However, when arguing with this old man, the outcome was always one-sided, and Dumbledore could always use all kinds of words. Words to make him submit.

Seeing Dumbledore's 'normal' expression suddenly, Jack sat up straight and looked at Snape who fell silent.

"Principal Dumbledore, Sif is equally important to me! I also want to know what happened before, so, can I have a private talk with Sif? It's at my place."

Dazed for a moment, Dumbledore smiled.

"Of course, Mr. Raymond. Then, if you have time, you are welcome to visit Hogwarts. I believe we will become friends?"

Jack stood up, nodding slightly to Dumbledore.

"Hehe, thank you very much, I think I will come to bother you often, so goodbye!"

"Okay, goodbye, it was a pleasure chatting with you, Severus, tomorrow afternoon, although I interrupted your rest time, I think we have a small meeting that needs you to attend~"

There was a momentary pause in the body that followed Jack, and Snape snorted as an answer. He knew that this conversation was just a test, and tomorrow's 'meeting' would be straight to the point...

Stepping out of the fireplace and standing in the home that belonged to him and Snape, Jack took a deep breath of the air with a faint milk fragrance, and then he couldn't wait to drag him to the bedroom. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the elf appearing.

"Master, Master Severus, the little masters are asleep! Dobby cleaned up the little masters as Master Severus ordered!"

The elf disappeared after finishing speaking, Jack ran to the cradle, saw the children sleeping sweetly with flushed faces, turned around and hugged Snape who was following behind him, and kissed that pale cheek forcefully until The person in his arms began to struggle before letting go. He pulled him to sit on the edge of the bed, put away his laughter, and stared at those calm black eyes.

"Sev, I have no memory of fighting that monster, tell me what's going on!"

Freeing himself from Jack's hand, Snape raised his hand to loosen some of the collar, turning away from Jack's gaze.

"...Hmm, mighty Jack. Raymond, fighting with the basilisk with his bare hands, is so powerful that he tore the mouth of the basilisk, after it swallowed you!"

Dazed, Jack sighed, took Snape's hand, and then slowly stroked Snape's back, now it was only them, so, there was nothing to worry about.

"Sev, I'm sorry, I didn't expect that to happen, I only saw you lying on the ground, and that monster was jumping at you, the rest, I have no memory, sorry, I scared you... ..."

Gently, Jack kissed Snape's cheek again and again, apologetically, and Snape froze for a moment, got up uncomfortably, walked to the cradle, and gently rocked the cradle.

"Hmph, sorry? Mr. Raymond, it seems that you don't need to say such things to me, after what you did! Your head is finally a display? You are so eager to show your strength and bravery! Oh , Of course, your ability is astonishing, maybe I should apologize for slowing you down? It didn’t make you a new hero in the wizarding world in one fell swoop!”

Standing up and walking to Snape, Jack watched the man clutching the cradle to his white fingertips, and decided to confess.

"Okay ok, Sev, listen to me, nothing—that's the demon, who gave me a drop of his blood before he left, and the changes in me, the ones you see, that's why, I don't know What made me change, but I am very glad that I was there at that time, otherwise, I can't imagine how you will be hurt, I will go crazy!"

The body was embraced, silent, and slowly, Snape covered Jack's hand, not without doubt, not without fear, but, this man, did everything he could...

"Master, Master Severus, Mr. Malfoy is here to visit!"

The sudden appearance of Dobby interrupted the peace between the two of them. He touched the children's little faces and straightened their robes. Snape and Jack walked out of the bedroom, not at all surprised by Lucius' visit.

"Jack, Severus, are you all right? Thanks Merlin!"

Facing Lucius' concern, no matter what the purpose was, Jack responded with a smile.

"Yes, sorry, Lucius, are the kids okay?"

"Hmm, they are very good. They have been practicing on their own according to your previous training, but you, Draco's letter, it seems that you are seriously injured? How can you be so careless!"

The word 'you' made Jack frown. He always thought that Snape wasn't hurt too much. At least when he opened his eyes, the man had no scars on his body except he was tired and haggard...Damn it!How could he forget the magic of those potions and magic!

Taking a strange glance at Jack who suddenly became quiet and his expression was changing, Snape walked to the sofa and sat down.

"Well Lucius, as you can see, we stand here intact! And I have good news for you, I think, that the object that Voldemort hid at Hogwarts has been solved, Dumbledore If you take it away, you probably won't keep that dangerous thing as a treasure!"

"Really? But, Severus, we should feel it if that thing gets destroyed, this!"

Pointing to his arm, Lucius remembered that when he destroyed the diary, the imprint was obviously touched, it was so hot that it hurt!

Confused, Snape moved his left arm.

"No, Lucius, I don't feel anything, and I didn't feel anything when you destroyed the other one!"

"Huh? Could it be because of the distance or some other reason..."

Ignoring Lucius's thoughts and turning his head, Snape frowned when he saw that Jack was still standing there without moving.

"What are you doing? Come and sit down! Or are you going to just stand there until dark?"

Awakened by Snape from his thoughts, Jack looked up, looked at the man's slightly frowning brows, looked at the man's pale and thin cheeks, filled with annoyance and self-blame...
