Brian got the task assigned by Snape, and started to search the ancient books with great dedication, of course, including the experimental manuscripts of the ancestors of the Prince family.For beginners of potions like Brian, some of the above content is really advanced, so this task has to be said that for Brian, it is indeed a huge project, occupying most of his spare time. It can be regarded as achieving Snape's original goal.And Brian, who was working wholeheartedly here, didn't even think about Snape's purpose behind it.This look of trusting the other party unconditionally made Mr. Duke shake his head, not knowing what to say.

Here Brian was still honestly looking for information, while Snape and Lucius had quietly started looking for possible Horcruxes.Compared with searching for information, this is obviously a much larger and longer project.Wanting to find the final correct answer from Voldemort's life and their behaviors in contact with Voldemort, following a little bit of clues, this process not only tests the intelligence of the two people but also their patience.The most important thing is that they can't tell others about this kind of confidential matter, only the two of them can do it slowly.Besides, they had to guard against Dumbledore doing something.

Even a patient person like Snape couldn't help becoming irritable when he had been busy for many months and still hadn't made any progress.The most obvious manifestation is that his anger has increased a lot.Even walking on the road, it looks like he is going to kill someone in anger.And the most direct victims of this are his poor students.In addition, it was the end of the Hogwarts term, and the summer vacation was about to begin, and the students gradually became impetuous, deserting in class, exploding cauldrons, fighting in the corridor, and even failing to say hello to the teacher. Nepe's point penalty is included in the confinement.All of a sudden, the number of students in Filch's solitary confinement was almost exploding. The students were miserable, and the teachers couldn't help but smile.In the end, even Dumbledore couldn't stand it anymore, and euphemistically suggested that Brian, who had the closest relationship with Snape, wanted to appease the other party's emotions.Brian didn't know what to say.

"Severus." Brian walked into Snape's office, pretending to hold a stack of experimental notebooks that had been sorted out.

Snape was grading homework at this time, his brows were tightly furrowed, and the strength of his pens seemed to Brian to tear the brown paper.Looking at his gestures, it was obvious that the grade was either a "D" or a "T".Brian twitched the corners of his mouth, sympathizing with those poor students.

Snape looked up to see Brian, his brows still did not loosen, but compared to the disgusted expression just now, it has softened a lot.Because of his great anger, Snape had actually been restraining his temper all the time, so he talked less and less when facing the object he didn't want to vent his anger on.He looked up and only said two words: "What's the matter?"

Brian waved the stack of kraft paper in his hand, and said with a smile: "I think the sorted letters should be useful."

Snape's expression softened a bit when he saw the stack of papers, much to Brian's relief.He didn't want to have the experience of being kicked out by Snape a few more times.

"Put it there, I'll look at it." Snape took a look, then quickly lowered his head and continued to grade the homework of those little trolls.

Seeing him like this, in order to achieve the purpose of today's conversation, Brian can only say: "I can help correct your homework. I think you haven't had a good rest recently. You are too tense. This is not good for your body. Not good. What's more, you haven't recovered for a long time, I'm afraid it will have too much negative impact on your body. Whether it's your mental state, or your work and rest..."

Snape was interrupted by Brian, and raised his head expressionlessly, glanced at Brian who was still about to say something, and simply put down the quill in his hand.

"Dumbledore asked you to come?"

Brian grinned in embarrassment, rubbed his hair uneasily, and said, "Actually, I also wanted to come and talk to you. If this continues, it will have an impact on the body."

Snape snorted noncommittally: "It's very easy for him to assign you. Why don't you come over and talk about this in person?"

Bryan didn't know if Snape was talking casually or had other meanings, and he didn't intend to continue on this topic.He knew that Dumbledore and Snape had always been at odds. Although this incompatibility seemed to outsiders to be Snape's unilateralism, for Brian, it's better not to talk about this topic now. .

"You haven't been in good health for too long, and I don't want to see you bedridden again." Brian said sincerely, "Besides, many things can't be rushed. Grandpa also asked me to tell you that your recent The mentality is very bad and needs to be adjusted.”

When Snape heard the first half of Bryan's sentence, he felt a little irony in his heart, even his brows relaxed slightly, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, he became unhappy again.He stood up from his desk, picked up the stack of unfinished homework and handed it to Brian, looking at him without saying a word.

Brian couldn't help but his temples twitched. What does this mean?Snape didn't intend to explain at all, he just took the stack of experimental letters that Brian had just put on the coffee table, and sat back at the desk without even throwing a glance at Brian.

Brian didn't expect the other party to have such a side. He didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh, sat down obediently, and began to correct the potion homework.Looking at those messy homework, Brian couldn't help but sighed again, no wonder Snape was so irritable recently, he also wanted to beat up those brats after reading these homework.What is written?Whether it was patchwork, scribbling, or carelessness, Brian decisively continued Snape's style, and did not relax the scoring standards for those students at all.

The two became quiet again, and Snape was very satisfied with the current atmosphere, and began to look through the things that had been sorted out.

After Brian finally finished grading all the homework, he looked at his watch and found that it was almost the curfew. Now, nothing was said and it became a free labor all night.

Brian cleared his throat and said, "It's finished. I hope you can listen to what I said before. I can't come here to do a white job, right?"

Snape finally stopped what he was doing. He looked at Brian and sighed inwardly.In fact, since Brian just entered the door, he found that his irritability has improved a lot in the past few days.And after so many hours of facing each other in the same room, he has calmed down a little bit, and he doesn't have the urge to destroy everything he saw before.For the other party's ability to influence him, Snape felt both terrified and helpless.So he could only keep a cold face and speak as little as possible to cover up the change in his mood.

"During the summer vacation, I may go out for a trip, you can tell my grandfather for me." Snape changed the subject calmly.

Brian frowned, very dissatisfied with Snape's avoidance of answering, but he also knew that since the other party made up his mind not to say anything, he probably didn't have the ability to make Snape talk about his current state.

"You can go back and tell your grandfather yourself during this time."

Snape pursed his lips. He didn't really want to see Mr. Duke.Since the last conversation, he knew that Mr. Duke was happy to see his feelings belong to him. Although Snape himself decisively rejected this proposal, every time he saw Mr. Duke, he would always imagine What will happen to myself and Brian.Such thoughts are very dangerous to him now, and he doesn't want to be disturbed by such dangerous thoughts, so he doesn't want to go back at all.

"I've been busy recently, so I don't have time to go back." Snape refused, "You just tell him."

"Is this trip dangerous?" Brian looked at Snape suspiciously, and then said firmly, "I want to go with you!"

Snape stared at Brian fiercely: "Could it be that your grandfather's education is for you to learn halfway? You haven't finished sorting out so many materials, and you plan to abandon them and go out privately? If that's the case, I don't know. Would you mind telling your grandfather to teach you the Slytherin rules of conduct."

Brian snorted, very dissatisfied that Snape always used the Prince's family to suppress him.Snape's last dangerous situation made him very concerned about Snape's safety, and even reached the level of frightened birds before Snape recovered.Even now, he has no way to ignore it.So Brian persisted and asked, "So there is still a sense of danger?"

Snape frowned. He knew he should have told Bryan now that he had no right to police his whereabouts.Just looking at Brian's unyielding actions, and the worry hidden in his stubborn eyes, Snape couldn't ignore them at all.There is even a warm feeling welling up from the bottom of my heart.It's like walking into a heated room in the cold winter, and people can't help but let out a comfortable sigh from the bottom of their hearts.

After a while, Snape reluctantly said, "I'm going to pick up someone. By the way, I'm going to test the improved potion. There's no danger."

Now Brian was relieved.He nodded, with a slightly smug expression on his face, "I wish I had told me otherwise" was written all over his face.This made Snape's face darken again.

Seeing that Snape's face turned black, Bryan accepted it as soon as he saw it, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I understand. I will tell my grandfather. Also, because there is no final exam for Muggle studies, I am relatively free these days. , if you need me to help correct homework, let me know."

Snape didn't speak, but waved his hand impatiently, indicating that the other party could leave.

Looking at Snape's appearance, Brian was completely unaffected, and left Snape's office in a good mood, thinking about whether he would come over here tomorrow, to do what he said, and to help him correct his homework.
