[HP] Squib Prince

"So, now let's talk about the question Severus asked about you." Mr. Duke relaxed back on the chair, as if he just wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with his grandson.

Looking at Mr. Duke's appearance, Brian felt even more disturbed.For some reason, he always felt that Mr. Duke's current appearance seemed to deliberately let his guard down.Brian's heart tightened, his face was still a bit confident but not conceited.

"I don't know what he said to you?" When Brian said this, his voice trembled imperceptibly. His hand hidden in the sleeve had already clenched into a fist. It seemed that only in this way could he He relaxes.

Mr. Duke glanced at Brian's small movements, and a smile floated in his heart. He didn't expect that this sentence made Brian nervous in front of him like this. It seems that Severus really had a great influence on him.

Mr. Duke made a serious face on purpose, and then asked, "What? What did you do out of the ordinary?"

Brian froze, feeling as if his ugly mind had been revealed.He tried his best to stabilize himself, and then replied nonchalantly: "Probably not."

Mr. Duke looked at Brian with a half-smile, until he stiffly began to wonder if he was really doing too obviously for Snape to see it, then Mr. Duke let him go, serious He reprimanded: "If you really have nothing to do, don't act like a guilty conscience. If you are too timid, won't it be easy to be restrained by others in the future? Or, if you really did it, as long as there is no evidence, you will Make an upright appearance! Who knows if they are deliberately testing you? At this time, the more guilty you are, the less you will admit it. "

After hearing Mr. Duke's education, Brian felt that his entire three views had been subverted.He widened his eyes, looked at Mr. Duke, and then let out a questioning "Ah", in exchange for Mr. Duke shaking his head sadly, with a look of "you can't teach children".

"I don't know where the luck came from throwing you into the banquet like yesterday and not giving them a share!" Mr. Duke began to lecture angrily.

Seeing Mr. Duke's current appearance, Brian's fluttering heart finally calmed down. Anyway, this is normal.

"Your psychological quality is not enough," Mr. Duke said with a sullen face, and then he came to a conclusion coldly, "so the courses in this area will be strengthened in the future. I will discuss it with the teacher in charge of teaching you. The intensity will increase in the future."

Brian nodded with a bitter face, and then began to change the subject: "So what exactly do you want to talk to me about today?"

After listening to Brian's words, Mr. Duke shook his head again: "I'm too impatient, and this has to be changed. I have to talk to Severus and let him teach you about these aspects."

After a good lesson, Mr. Duke coughed, and then said what Snape said: "He said that you have been a little absent-minded recently, don't you have anything to explain to me?"

When Brian heard this, he secretly became vigilant again. How could he explain this to Mr. Duke?Snape has never been a nosy person, but why is he so talkative this time?It just made him miserable.

"What? Don't want to tell me why?"

Brian pouted, curled his lips, and finally said helplessly: "Actually, it's not that serious, but it's just that the amount of training is a bit heavy, and when you're tired, you can't concentrate on doing things."

Mr. Duke looked Brian up and down probingly. This look made Brian always feel like he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.

""

"You're a quick learner." Mr. Duke stroked his chin and nodded. Although it was a compliment, it sounded like irony no matter how you listened.

Brian smiled awkwardly, then made himself look sincerely staring at the old man in the portrait, and said sincerely: "If it wasn't for this reason, I really can't think of anything else that deserves my absent-mindedness."

Mr. Duke said nothing.For a moment, there was only silence between the two, and Brian could only hear his own heartbeat.

"dong dong dong"

"dong dong dong"

……

I don't know how long it took, Mr. Duke waved his hand and said, "In this case, stop the previous family history. You try to adjust yourself, and I hope that you won't hear other people's complaints about your absent-mindedness in the future."

Brian nodded, and then hurried out of the study, heaving a sigh of relief.

After this, Brian was busier than before.In addition to the tasks in the family education that he already has, there are also Hogwarts course tasks, and now he needs to add real-time follow-up on the business cooperation with the Malfoy family.In this way, he didn't even have the chance to find a sense of existence with Snape.Not to mention relying on Snape in the name of his grandfather.

"So that's how it is." Lucius looked at the two big dark circles on Brian's face with a smile, and said gloatingly, "Seeing you, I finally know why Severus put this matter I entrust it to you."

Brian was a little drowsy at first, but his eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he looked at Lucius and asked, "This was originally his business?"

Lucius nodded as a matter of course, then smiled and looked at Brian, with an element of spectacle in his tone: "Why, he didn't tell you? It's really a good deed without leaving a name."

Brian's eyes flickered, then he shook his head and smiled at Lucius, "You're joking again, just now you said he was impatient with these trivial matters."

Lucius gave Bryan a meaningful look, and then smiled, "You've grown up pretty fast. No wonder Severus values ​​you so much."

When Brian heard Lucius talk about Snape, his heart skipped a beat, and he was a little depressed while being delighted.It's not doing much yet, just worrying about gain and loss, Brian really looks down on himself a little bit.

"Severus is the most protective." Brian opened his mouth, and he didn't seem to take Lucius' words to heart. Instead, he joked, "Birds of a feather flock together. I believe that your love for me is not the same. few."

Speaking of which, there are not many people who are friendly with Lucius enough to joke with each other, and when joking, most of the time it is Lucius who teases other people.Lucius especially likes to tease Snape with words, and then laughs secretly at Snape's wanting to get angry but restrained. It's a pity that Snape knows Lucius' character well in the past few years, so he no longer has such a funny reaction. up.I have never met someone who blatantly teased Lucius like Brian did today.

Lucius was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled even more charmingly: "You are right, people are divided into groups. No wonder I like you so much." There was no sense of being molested in the words.After finishing speaking, Lucius winked at Brian, and even someone like Brian who already had a crush couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat twice.

Brian cursed secretly in his heart: "Monster." Then he decided not to make such a joke with Lucius again, otherwise, he would definitely be frightened by the platinum nobleman in front of him.Snape's evaluation of Lucius was indeed correct, he was just a monster who emitted male hormones all the time.

But the two talked about Snape again and again, which made Brian suddenly think that because of his busy schedule, he basically didn't have time to meet Snape. He hadn't seen Snape for a long time.

"Have you seen Severus lately?"

Lucius glanced at Brian, then said casually, "Well, but only once or twice, he doesn't know what he's been up to lately, he doesn't look too good."

Brian pursed his lips, nodded to show he knew, and decided to meet Snape himself.

Brian didn't see the faint smile on Lucius' mouth when he left.

When Brian found Snape's office, he was surprised to find that there was no one in the office.And it looks like it hasn't been sorted out for a long time.The desk is full of homework and test papers of various students, and the coffee table is covered with some manuscripts and several large books.

"It looks really busy." Brian sighed to himself.Then he hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn't help Snape clean up the room.

Without seeing Snape, Brian could only go back to his office and start preparing for the next Muggle class.

It's just that a week later, when Brian went to look for Snape again and again, without exception, he didn't see anyone. This situation made Brian feel that something was wrong.It looked like Snape was avoiding him.

Brian bit his lower lip secretly, the grievance and confusion in his heart were about to roll out.What had he done wrong for Snape to avoid him like this?It felt as if Snape had installed some kind of radar to detect him, always avoiding him completely.Could it be that Snape discovered the thoughts he suppressed in his heart?Such a guess made Brian feel cold in his heart.

Brian tossed and turned for several nights, with large dark circles on his face, feeling as if he had gone too far.Even at the end of the meal, Dumbledore couldn't help but care about him.

"Oh, effective communication can always help people avoid many detours." Dumbledore looked at Brian calmly, "If you have something that bothers you, you might as well say it. Trust me, it can always be resolved. my child."

Brian smiled reluctantly, and secretly decided that he must find Severus and have a good talk.
