The Son of Light of the Snake House

Daniel sat on the sofa, with his hands neatly placed on his knees, his two short legs dangling unconsciously.

Just now the three adults conspired in the basement about something that children shouldn't listen to, and threw Daniel out the door who was trying to eavesdrop.After a while, Hermione came out first and hurried away, followed by Ron, who was still stuffing something into the sleeve of his black robe when he came out.

When he saw Daniel sitting on the sofa, his expression changed several times—Daniel didn't know how to describe it, it seemed to be mixed with relief, strangeness, disbelief, idiot smile, auntie smile, anger, etc. expression.

Daniel called it: the grown-up syndrome.

But for now, this person is the best one for Daniel, so it's better not to provoke him first.

So he blinked: "Brother Ron, what were you talking about just now?"

Ron looked at him in astonishment first, then suddenly he laughed.He leaned over to the sofa, squatted down, and looked up at Daniel slightly.

The smile on Daniel's face could hardly hold back: No, just talk when you talk, why are you so close?

Ron stared at him closely, until Daniel's smile could hardly be maintained, he suddenly stretched out two hands and grabbed Daniel's cheeks.

"???? What are you doing, Li?" Daniel was stunned.

Ron took a breath in satisfaction: "I've been uncomfortable seeing you like this for a long time-I told you to always smile, and don't smile if you don't feel happy, you know? This is a child's privilege!"

He rubbed Daniel's face, completely ignoring his little strength: "Oh, I didn't expect you to fall into my hands today! Haha! Kid, it's useless to call anyone now!" He Laughing hey, like a perverted uncle, and like a silly father whose wife can play with his son casually when he goes out, he doesn't even know that the cold iron bracelet is hanging behind him.

"Why don't you struggle, kid~ Hehe, call me again, come on, call Brother Ron~~"

Daniel raised his eyes silently and looked over Ron's head: "That's him!"

Ron froze for a moment, stopped the movement of his hands, and turned his head slowly. The shadow of his youth stood quietly behind him, and he didn't know how long he looked at it.

Ron laughed twice, and suddenly felt the soreness and numbness of his legs, which almost made him fall to the ground. Fortunately, he supported the sofa in time: "Ahem, professor... I'm playing with Daniel -"

"If Mr. Weasley can put this energy into the OWLs exam, he won't end up in the situation of bullying children." Severus motioned to Daniel to follow.

When the two reached the door, Severus stopped and added to Ron who had just breathed a sigh of relief: "Remember to dispose of the three barrels of slime in the basement."

boom!

With the sound of the door closing, Ron sat on the ground with a sad face.

It's all Daniel's fault!

...............

Blame that guy Ron!

Daniel rubbed his face and followed Severus step by step.His legs are short, so he has to pay more times in the frequency of walking to keep up with Severus' pace.

Damn it, that guy stretched out his hand so hard, his face hurts...

Daniel rubbed his hot face with the palm of his hand, and then changed to the back of his hand. After repeating it two or three times, he bumped into Severus' leg.

"Ouch." He almost fell backwards due to the reaction force, and stopped quickly. "Why did it stop?"

Severus didn't say a word, and leaned his head outward with one hand, revealing a dilapidated tavern in front of his eyes.

Daniel opened his mouth...here.

"Wait here." Severus said so, leaving him at the entrance of the alley, and walked in alone, and after a while, he came out again, and behind him was a familiar person.

Daniel watched nervously. When the two came over, he hesitated for a long time and called out, "...Father."

But didn't get any response.

Daniel looked up in a daze, the man was obviously drunk, but inexplicably sluggish, like an emotionless puppet, followed behind Severus.

Daniel was stunned.

He didn't know what to call this feeling.Obviously he should be happy, but his mood is particularly complicated.He would say hello to him because of the fear of being almost swung on the head by a wine bottle at the beginning, but now he was turned into a puppet by the curse of Mr. Killer, and Daniel felt sad again.

how so?Isn't this what you want?Too strange……

Severus took another two steps forward, and found that Daniel hadn't followed, he frowned: "Come here quickly, do you have anything to ask him?"

"Oh...oh!" Daniel quickly followed.

Severus kept walking and talking, and he whispered, "That's what you're aiming for, isn't it?"

"Yes..." Daniel stammered: "But you haven't seen it, how would you know..."

Severus narrowed his eyes, and moved the corners of his mouth miserly: "Assassins naturally have ways to kill."

He paused, then said with a slight smile: "How do you know I didn't read your brain in the middle of the night?"

!Daniel was startled: "You won't...?"

"Maybe." Severus said, walking non-stop, turning around and turning into a dark dead end, which looked more familiar than Daniel, who had lived here for 6.75 years.

Immediately afterwards, he ordered: "Go!" The slovenly man who smelled of alcohol automatically stood opposite them, and then Severus said something, and the noise outside disappeared. Quiet.

"You are Leo Jerome." Severus said firmly, and then threw a bottle of potion to Daniel: "Feed him."

"……what is this?"

"Veritaserum. A potion that tells only the truth."
