[HP] Squib Prince

"Grandfather hopes that you can go back with me. Since you are so worried, I want to talk to him and discuss it. Maybe there will be a better way." Obviously, Brian didn't take Snape's refusal as a sign at all. one thing.

Snape stood there without answering, and he also selectively ignored Brian's obviously improved facial expression, as if he was thinking about the other party's proposal.After a while, Snape glanced at Bryan.At this glance, he saw Brian's look of expectation, which made the already wobbly balance in his heart even more shaken.

"To be honest, my grandfather was very dissatisfied when he saw me. I guess he hoped that you would open the manor at first. I told him something about you, and he is very satisfied with your current position." Bryan Seeing that Snape didn't speak, he knew that the other party was struggling to agree.Bryan smiled slightly, and began actively telling Snape about the attitude of his grandfather, Duke Prince.Snape didn't speak, though.

"He specifically asked me to take you back to Prince Manor. I think he must have something important to tell you." Brian thought for a while, and then persuaded, "I think you actually need to go there A trip, at least for those potion research issues. I think he will be very happy to discuss these with you."

As soon as Brian mentioned potions, Snape's eyes immediately changed.Because of Brian's special situation, he invented some potions himself, but these potions still need to be perfected in order to be used more widely.No one will discuss these advanced things with him, so he has encountered a bottleneck now.It would be beneficial to have a discussion with a senior potions master.So Snape was no longer in the state of struggling, he pursed his lips, and then asked coldly: "When?"

When Brian heard Snape's words, a big smile appeared on his face, and he said, "The day after tomorrow. I'll come to you at nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, and we'll go back together."

Snape's gaze flicked across Bryan's face, before stopping somewhere behind him.After a while, Snape nodded in agreement.

When Brian found Snape at the appointed time, Snape had already prepared everything and was waiting in his office.He was still wearing a black robe today, but when he walked around, Brian saw a dark light like flowing starlight. He was sure that this robe was definitely a treasure that Snape would not normally wear.What surprised him the most was that Snape's greasy hair was refreshed all year round, and it seemed to be tidy. He tied the half-length hair behind his head with a dark green ribbon, revealing his emaciated appearance. cheeks.This made him look less gloomy, and instead made people feel the youthfulness of his age.

Brian couldn't help staring at Snape's resolute-looking face. Although the cheekbones were a bit high and the nose was a bit big, the combination of these features was actually very pleasing to the eye, making Brian reluctant to take his eyes off.

"I don't think you came here early in the morning to stare stupidly at me, Mr. Bryan!" Snape said angrily to Brian, who was already staring blankly.

Only then did Brian come back to his senses, and said with a bright smile, "Oh, you look fantastic today, Severus."

Snape frowned, apparently recalling some bad memory.He let out a mocking "hum" from his nose, and then urged: "Are your eyes only focused on these flashy things? When are we leaving?"

"Ugh, thanks for the so-called pomp!" Brian thought to himself.

Brian took out the portkey and took Snape's hand.When he felt the calloused fingers with distinct knuckles, Brian only felt his heart beat a little faster, and his face was turning red. He took a deep breath to make himself look less abnormal, and then he read silently. A spell that unlocks the doorkey.

After the familiar dizziness disappeared, the two were already standing in the hall of Prince Manor.

"I think you can let go of my hand, Mr. Bryan."

"Why didn't you come here until now?"

Two voices sounded in the hall at the same time.Brian let go of Snape's hand in embarrassment, then looked guiltily at the portrait of Duke Prince.

The old man seemed to have dressed up a bit today. Although the clothes were still the same as the ones he saw that day, the old man's hairstyle became more meticulous, and his standing posture became more upright and full of oppression.

The old man looked at Brian's face with an unnatural expression from the first handshake of the two, and then turned to Snape's face.When he saw Snape's appearance, the old man's face softened a lot. He carefully looked at Snape's appearance, and then showed nostalgic expression on his face.

"The kid from Irene's family..."

Snape looked up at the old man in the oil painting who was [-]% similar to himself, and felt a strange feeling in his heart. This is the Prince family that he has been proud of for many years?This person is his maternal grandfather, Prince's previous head of the family?Snape developed a deep sense of unreality about the position he occupied.It's as if upon waking up, this scene will eventually fall apart with the arrival of reality.

Snape just dazed for a moment, his vigilance did not allow him to do so, soon, he performed a standard aristocratic etiquette to the old man with his usual expression, and said: "I have read your book "Overview of Rare Potions and Ingredients", which has benefited a lot. It is a pleasure to meet you today, Mr. Duke Prince."

When the old man heard Snape accurately say the name of his masterpiece, his expression could not help but become "kind", and even the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. He nodded reservedly, and said to Snape: "You can call me Grandfather. I am glad to see you."

Snape pursed his lips, and the not-so-difficult word "grandfather" swirled in his mouth several times, but he still couldn't say it out.After a while like this, Snape called out in a hoarse voice: "Grandfather."

Brian looked at the two people in front of him, no matter from which angle, they were very similar.Such a touching scene of recognition between grandparents and grandchildren made him a little guilty. He always felt that he had snatched the other party's inheritance rights. Standing here now, he seemed a bit redundant.But Brian was happy for Snape from the bottom of his heart.

The old man coughed, and then asked: "I heard from Brian, you are not very happy to inherit the Prince family?"

Snape glanced at Brian expressionlessly, which made Brian open his mouth in embarrassment, but he didn't know what to say.

"He's right," Snape said, looking at the old man without any concealment, "I'm not interested in inheriting a family. In fact, I'm not a suitable candidate either."

The old man stared at Snape for a while, and then suddenly laughed, which made him look more like a kind grandfather, which was quite different from the image he had shown in front of Brian before.

"You know yourself well, that's good." The old man looked at Snape with a smile, ignoring the stiff look on his face, and then continued, "However, regarding the situation outside and your future path, I will I think I need to talk about it. Of course, potion research is also included.” After finishing speaking, the old man looked at Brian again and said in a stern tone: “As for Brian, I think you should not forget what we said before Yes. Now, you should go to study instead of staying here and listening to some useless conversations. Bai Xian, take Master to the study."

Brian saw the old man's completely different expressions one after another, and was shocked by the other's superb face-changing skills, and then looked at Snape worriedly, but Snape didn't notice him at all.He could only hang his head, and followed Bai Xian to the "study" that the old man called.

Snape saw Brian's abandoned appearance and couldn't help softening his face. Unfortunately, Brian was only concerned with mourning and didn't see Snape's expression at all. Instead, he was the condescending old man standing in the portrait It is said that everyone's expressions are in the eyes.He looked back and forth between the two thoughtfully, then seemed to think of something, and frowned.

After Brian left with Bai Xian, the old man said to Snape, "Go to the Potions Room, we need to talk."

Snape followed the old man's guidance and came to the entrance of the basement.

"Your permission is open here, just input the magic power directly." The old man stood in a landscape painting at the entrance of the basement. The fresh atmosphere of the surrounding blue sky and white clouds was incompatible with the old man's formal attire, which made him look a little funny.

According to what the old man said, Snape lost his magic power on the doorknob, and the door to the basement soon opened quietly, and the dark room was like an unknown and mysterious world, allowing Snape from There is a trembling excitement in the bottom of my heart...
