[HP] Father?dad!

"Father." Today was the day to get the potion once a week, standing in front of Severus, Neil hesitated a little rarely.

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Severus put down his pen.In his impression, Neil has always been very thoughtful, and it was the first time he saw his son showing a hesitant expression because of something.

"Tomorrow...the flight class is coming. I don't know about this class. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?" Because the flight class will be held this week, Neil has read many books about flying in the past two days.He found to his dismay that the books contained nonsense and no useful experience.Thinking of Draco's exhortation, he finally decided to ask Severus for some relevant experience.

Hearing this, Severus showed an inscrutable expression.After silently staring at Neil for two seconds, Severus said slowly, "This course is like a witch bird. It looks brightly colored, but it's actually useless." This is the first thing Severus said. words.

Neil's face slightly embarrassed.From his father's tone, he could hear his disdain and rejection of flying.

"So, you just need to make sure you pass this class." In Severus' view, Neil should be just like himself, with no talent for flying. Therefore, for this class, Severus allowed him to The very good Neil has a few minor flaws. "When flying into the sky, pay attention to calm your mind and fly slowly." In the last sentence, Severus finally said something useful.

Neil glanced at Severus thoughtfully, and had some guesses in his heart. "I understand, father." Neil nodded expressionlessly, and stopped asking further questions.In his opinion, if he foolishly asks his father if he is not good at flying, it must be the rhythm of being abused.There is a villain in Neil’s heart who is snickering: It turns out that the omnipotent father also has things he is not good at O(∩_∩)O~

Standing on the flat lawn, Neil was slightly nervous.Today's weather is perfect for flying, breezy and sunny.A tattered broom was lying quietly at Neil's feet, the broom's tail branches were forked in all directions.

Mrs. Hooch stood right in front of her, and shouted, "Now, put your right hand over the broom, and then, shout to the broom, 'Get up!'"

Neil pursed his lips tightly, raised his right hand and put it on top of the broom, and shouted loudly: "Get up!" To Neil's frustration, the broom didn't move at all, and there was no reaction at all.Neil quietly looked around. The wands of Adair Miller and Dylan of Gryffindor jumped into their hands obediently. In the hand, there is also a reaction.Only his broom and that goofy Gryffindor girl - he knew her name now - Vera Short's broom didn't respond at all.

Neil felt his face was hot. He lowered his head and yelled again fiercely: "Get up! Get up!..."

After shouting four or five times in a row, Neil's broom finally flew slowly into his hands.Raising his head, Neil's eyes were full of gloom—Short, who was always at the bottom before, actually yelled the broom faster than him this time.

Suppressing the negative emotions in his heart, Neil looked at Mrs. Hooch with empty eyes.Mrs. Hooch was walking up and down the line, each correcting the way she held her broom.Walking in front of Neil, Mrs. Hooch nodded in satisfaction, and walked to the next person without any guidance.Short delayed Mrs. Huo Qi the longest. Mrs. Huo Qi corrected Short's movements for a long time, and then her movements barely met the standard.

"Now—" After correcting everyone's movements, Mrs. Hooch returned to the middle, "I'll whistle, and you kick your legs hard to get off the ground. Remember, you have to be hard. Hold the broom firmly, and after a few feet up, your body slightly Lean forward and fall straight back to the ground." Mrs. Hooch picked up the whistle and put it in her mouth, "Listen to the whistle, three-two-one-"

Neil kicked the ground hard, and floated up unsteadily.

After a certain amount of training, everyone has mastered the basic principles. Mrs. Huo Qi let everyone move freely and fly at low altitude for a week.At this time, the technical gap between different people is reflected.

There was no need to look carefully, Neil could easily find out that among this class of students, Dylan and Miller from Gryffindor were the most gifted in flying, and they were gliding quickly at the highest place.Others are also in twos and threes, scattered all over the sky.Neil was alone, hiding in an inconspicuous place, practicing vigorously.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Neil, let's go." After class, Dylan walked over comfortably with a satisfied smile on his face. "go to eat."

Neil shook his head uncomfortably, and said, "You go first, I still have something to do."

"Okay." Dylan showed a considerate smile and didn't ask much. "Then I'll go eat first."

Neil nodded and watched Dylan leave.After the lawn became quiet again, Neil stooped and tiptoed towards the broom shed not far away.Carefully looking around, after confirming that Mrs. Hooch had left and that no one else was nearby, Neil sneaked into the broom shed.

After a while, Neil came out of the broom house with a broom in his hand.

Today, until the time he came down, Neil couldn't control the broom very freely. The faint blockage of magic power made it impossible to use the broom as easily as he could.Neil wanted to practice secretly so that he could perform better in the next class.

The sky gradually darkened, the afterglow of the setting sun scattered on the ground, and the dim orange red smudged half of the sky.

Choosing a road with few people, Neil kept walking and quickly walked to the place where he usually practiced magic.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

At this time, Sirius was hiding in the Forbidden Forest, devouring the cat food that Crookshanks brought him.Inadvertently looking up at the sky, Sirius stopped chewing.He found that not far away, where he met that Neil last time, there was a boy whose back looked very similar to that Neil, flying unsteadily in mid-air.

For some reason, Sirius found himself a little worried.After hesitating for half a second, he decided to take a closer look.Picking up the remaining cat food, Sirius trotted to the bottom of the big tree.

When he got closer, and raised his head halfway, Sirius realized that it was really that Neil flying in his sky.Putting the cat food on the ground, Sirius continued to eat, looking up at the sky from time to time.

After eating, Sirius stretched and lay on the ground.Looking up, seeing the figure in mid-air, Sirius let out a snort.He found that this Neil was worthy of being the son of the snot, flying as badly as the snot.

Scratched his stomach.Sirius felt a little strange.Logically speaking, seeing the snot-nosed man's son fly so poorly, he should feel that he is gloating, but for some reason, he feels a little distressed.Shaking his head vigorously, Sirius wanted to get this terrifying thought out of his mind - did he suffer some kind of curse? !How could he feel sorry for the snot-nosed man's son? !

I must be cursed!Sirius shuddered, stood up, and wanted to leave.

Sudden.

"Peng!" There was a loud noise.

Sirius turned his head subconsciously, only to see that Neil fell to the ground without moving.A battered broom lay by itself.

Sirius' mind was blank, but his limbs subconsciously led his body and ran towards that Neil not far away.Walking in, Sirius saw that Neil fell so that his whole body grinned and gasped.

It hurts!Falling to the ground was Neil's first reaction.Fortunately, the flying is not high, otherwise it will be troublesome...

Suddenly, Neil saw a big black dog breaking into his sight.He opened his eyes wide vigilantly, staring at the big black dog.He wanted to stand up, but his limbs were so painful that he couldn't move.

"Don't come here!" Neil yelled loudly, trying to scare the black dog.The big black dog paused for a few seconds.Tilting his head, the big black dog gave Neil a worried look, and rushed forward again.

Rushing in front of Neil, the big black dog stopped, staring at Neil with wide eyes.

Neil stared at the big black dog for a few seconds. For some reason, he seemed to see a trace of concern in the big black dog's eyes?Shaking his head, he must have been confused... Feeling that the big black dog would not hurt him, Neil gave up on the dog and ignored it.

As he got closer, Sirius saw that the right side of Neal's face was covered with bruises.And the hand he came out of was also covered with scratches.Sirius let out a whimper in his throat, a little anxious.Tentatively sticking out his tongue, Sirius licked that Neal's hand.

Neil froze.He looked at the big black dog in front of him inquisitively.His eyes, which were as big as light bulbs, were filled with distress.This time, Neil was really sure that the dog in front of him would not hurt him.After relaxing his nerves, Neil ignored the dog and lay quietly, waiting for the pain to pass.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps ahead.Sirius pricked up his ears.Confirming that someone was coming, Sirius looked at Neil, turned and ran away.Running into the jungle, Sirius hesitated for a moment, but decided to hide in the shadow of the trees to see the situation.

Seeing the big black dog run away suddenly, Neil was a little confused.After another minute, Neil heard footsteps close at hand.

who is it? !Neil's heart suddenly rose.He didn't want anyone to see him in such a mess.The body has recovered a bit, and Neil tried his best to support his hands, trying to get up from the ground.

"Don't move!" An extremely familiar deep voice sounded in the dark night. Hearing this voice, Neil relaxed.It's father!An indescribable joy rose from Neil's heart.

In the darkness, Neil felt a warm warmth kneeling behind him, and a pair of warm hands embraced him from behind.

Soaring into the air, Neil finally saw Severus' face clearly.Severus's brows were furrowed tightly, and the tense face was full of stormy anger.What was quite different from his expression was his gentle and strong hands, gently and carefully supporting himself.Neil leaned comfortably into Severus' arms.

"Father." Neil murmured, a little at a loss.

"Let's go back." Severus held back his anger, turned and strode away.

In the darkness, Sirius watched the snotlite leaving Snape in his arms, and an unknown light flashed in his eyes...

☆, wronged

Striding towards the castle, Severus felt like he was going to explode!

Today, because he was worried about the situation of Neil's flight class, and because Severus had no class during the time when Neil was taking flight class, he put down his work and came to the observatory to secretly observe Neil's flight situation.

It was not much different from what Severus expected. Due to the limitation of magic power and insufficient innate talent, Neil performed very hard in the flying class.

After class, Severus originally planned to go to the lobby for dinner, and asked Neil to come to the office after dinner to comfort him. Who knows, but saw that Neil, who was supposed to go back to the castle, got rid of the others and sneaked away Into the broom shed.

Looking up at the gradually darkening sky, Severus let out a low reprimand.It's just too messy!Hastily leaving the observatory, Severus wanted to stop Neil.

Unexpectedly, when he got to the lawn, Severus found that there was no one around.Raising his head, Severus looked around, and finally found that there seemed to be a figure in midair near the Forbidden Forest.

Before he got there, Severus saw the figure in the sky fall from midair like a kite with a broken string.

Feeling aroused, Severus quickly ran towards the Forbidden Forest.From a distance, Severus saw Neil lying on the ground like a rag doll.At that moment, Severus felt like he couldn't breathe—

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Father." Walking to the gate of the castle, Neil lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I don't want others to see me like this. Can you take me back to the office by the less crowded road?" Neil There was a haze in his eyes.His performance in the flight class today was already embarrassing enough, he didn't want others to see him more embarrassing.

Taking a deep look at Neil, Severus spoke. "Okay." Entering the castle, Severus turned into a secret passage that Neal didn't know about.

Neil raised his head in disbelief.He didn't expect to ask at first, but he never thought that his father would agree to him so easily? !

Seeing Neil's unbelievable eyes, Severus felt sore in his heart.How could he not know that Slytherin is so sensitive, how could Neil be willing to spread out his disadvantages and fragility in the sun? !He was already blaming himself, Neil, he worked so hard and worked so hard, but because of the irresponsible drag of his parents, his performance in school was so embarrassing.Such an outstanding and sensible Neil, how could he have the heart to embarrass him in public again? !How could he have the heart to let him suffer those unnecessary injuries again? !

Holding Neil, Severus avoided everyone and went directly to the office in the cellar.Walking into the office, Severus carefully placed Neil on the bed in the bedroom.

Neil looked around, this was the first time he had entered Severus' bedroom.Large double bed with silver pillars, dark bed curtains and dark sheets.Lying on the bed, Neil unexpectedly found that the softness under his body was not as hard or hard as he had imagined.On the left side, there is a row of black wooden wardrobes. The style is simple and dignified. Next to the wardrobe, there is a small black round table. Next to the round table, there is a single black leather sofa; The door of the bathroom, beside the door, is a small bookcase.

Putting Neil on the bed, Severus waved his wand and examined Neil carefully.After a series of rays of light dispersed, Severus put down the wand in his hand, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief—maybe because the place where Neil fell was not high, apart from the scratches on his face, only his left ankle was a little red and swollen. It looks scary, but it's actually nothing serious.

Outwardly, Severus scowled, put down his wand, and walked out of the room without a word.Behind him, Neil looked at the back of Severus leaving, feeling uneasy in his heart.

After a few minutes, Severus returned to the bedroom with two bottles of potions.Unleashing a few healing spells on Neil's wound, Severus handed the potion to Neil. "Drink it." Severus' words were as concise as ever.

Neil didn't dare to say much at the moment, took the potion bottle in Severus' hand, and obediently drank it.After Neil drank the potion in his hand, Severus reached out and took the empty bottle from Neil's hand.

"Your foot is injured and you need to rest. Today, you are staying here." Putting the potion bottle on the bookcase, with his back to Neil, Severus pretended to speak casually.Neil's foot was injured. Although the injury was not serious, it was best not to walk at night.After some hesitation, Severus decided to let Neal stay here tonight.

What?Neil rubbed his ears in disbelief, thinking he heard wrong?Father actually let himself sleep here? "But where do I sleep... sleep...?" Neil was too surprised, stuttering, "I mean, here... there is... only... one bed..."

Severus turned his head and gave Neil a sneering look. "This bed is very wide." The implication is that it is completely enough for two people to sleep together. "You don't want to?" There was a hint of danger in Severus' silky voice.

Neil shook his head hastily, and found that Severus couldn't see, so he hurriedly made a sound. "Of course not." Neil said in a loud voice.

Nodding in satisfaction, Severus pulled a book from the bookcase and turned around. "Kiki!" Severus yelled, and a house-elf popped in front of them.

"Dear Professor Snape, what are your orders?"

"Bring over two dinners, one with orange bitters and one with milk," Severus ordered.

Qiqi moved very quickly, and after two or three minutes, he placed the meal in front of the two of them.At this time, Severus had turned into a small bed table, which was placed in front of Neil.There are two meals, one with milk is placed on the small table on the bed, and the other is placed on the round table.

"Eat first." After saying this, Severus sat on the round table, stopped talking, and started eating.Glancing furtively at Severus, then at the meal in front of him, Neil suddenly felt extremely hungry.Picking up the knife and fork in front of him, Neil ate his dinner with big mouthfuls.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Perhaps he was extremely hungry, but soon, Neil ate up all the food in front of him.After drinking the last drop of milk, Neil smacked his lips in satisfaction.

"Is it enough?" Severus on the side said abruptly, but Neil was no longer as frightened as he was at the beginning and immediately sat upright.Putting down the empty milk glass, Neil shook his head. "I'm full."

Hearing this, Severus stopped talking and continued to concentrate on eating the meal in front of him.

Severus was sitting with his back to Neil.With nothing to do, Neil began to carefully observe Severus's back.After calming down, Neil suddenly realized: Why is it such a coincidence that his father appeared at the place where he was injured?

Neil is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart.Soon, he guessed that there was a great possibility that Severus was watching him somewhere at that time; it was also possible that he cast some spell on himself, and as soon as he felt hurt, he rushed to Coming; the least likely, is that he just happened to be there.

Thinking of this, Neil only felt warm in his heart, and with his back to Severus, he couldn't help showing a happy smile.

Seeing Severus put down the knife and fork, Neil immediately adjusted his face to a deadpan state, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth still accidentally revealed the joy in his heart at this time.

Severus waved his wand, and the tableware in front of him disappeared.

"You rest now, I'll go out and correct my homework." After finishing speaking, Severus was about to leave the bedroom.

What?Neil was anxious all of a sudden—how could he be able to sleep so early? ! "Father." Subconsciously, Neil called out to Severus. "It's still very early." Neil's voice sounded like a mosquito.

Turning around, Severus gave a malicious smile. "Then what do you want to do?"

Neil was silent.Neil had often seen this kind of smile in class since school started, but this was the first time Neil saw Severus face himself with this smile.Looking up, Neil forced himself to meet Severus' gaze.He knew that his father was angry.

"I'm sorry." Neil said clearly, "I shouldn't be so reckless."

"You also know that you are reckless?!" Severus's pent-up anger finally burst out. "I just told you two days ago that the first thing you need to pay attention to when flying is stability! As a result, today, you are like a reckless Gryffindor riding in the dark sky where you can't see clearly. Stupid broken broom clumsy rampage?! Is this how you take my words on deaf ears?!" Severus snapped angrily, his serious expression showing extraordinarily mean.

Unable to resist Severus's knife-like gaze, Neil lowered his head. "I'm sorry, Father." Neil's voice was a little choked, "I just want to practice more, I don't want to fall too far behind in class." For the first time, facing Severus, Neil truly expressed own inner thoughts.For a long time, Neil has always tried his best to make himself the best, but since entering Hogwarts, Neil discovered in a panic that no matter how hard he tried, he could not become the best; Only by using all your strength can you not become the worst.

For so many days and nights, Neil couldn't sleep day by day, fear and resentment eroded his heart all the time.Why was Merlin so unfair to him? !Why let him bear all this? !He just wants to work harder, work harder, make himself better, stronger, and have the power to protect himself, so that others can face up to himself and respect himself, instead of treating himself as garbage, using contempt Look at yourself with your eyes, is this wrong?Why such a small wish, I tried my best, but still couldn't realize it? !

At this moment, the negative emotions accumulated for so many years suddenly crushed Neil's small shoulders. For the first time, Neil cried out in front of his father like a real child.

☆, Wronged ([-])

Severus was completely stunned by Neil's sudden cry, and stood aside, Severus bewildered.

Neil wept loudly, as if he wanted to wash away the despair and unwillingness in his heart with tears.After hesitating for two seconds, Severus took a few steps forward, sat on the bed, and gently embraced Neil in his arms.

Gently patting Neil's back, Severus felt that his clothes were soaked quickly.Neil's cries were full of deep grievances and unwillingness, and Severus' heart was also tightened.He is not a good father!If it wasn't his fault, how could his poor son be in such a helpless situation? !It's all his fault!If he could do a little better and concoct a better potion, his son wouldn't have to suffer from this kind of tremendous pressure all the time, and his son wouldn't have to have to suffer from this kind of discrimination that he shouldn't have to suffer all the time!Yes, he knows it all!How could he not know? !No one knows better than him how Slytherin treats the weak.Back then, he also walked over like this step by step.However, he was luckier than his son. With his good comprehension and abundant magic power, he quickly became the best. underestimate him.

Severus kept patting Neil's back rhythmically, silently comforting him.After an unknown amount of time, Neil's crying gradually subsided.

"I'm sorry, Father. I lost my temper." Finally, Neal stopped crying.Realizing his own embarrassment, Neil's face buried in Severus' arms flushed with shame.When he opened his mouth in embarrassment, Neil's voice was muffled.

"It's okay." Severus sighed lightly, and spoke in a gentle voice, the anger just now disappeared with Neil's crying. "I shouldn't blame you." Severus' tone was full of remorse.

"No!" Hearing Severus' words, Neil raised his head and spoke fiercely. "You are right to blame me! I was impatient and reckless. I was wrong, I just, for a while—" Speaking of this, Neil stopped talking, with a somewhat lost and frustrated expression.

"I understand." Severus's silky voice sounded above Neil's head, "Keep going, Neil. I can see your hard work. You are the best. Wait until the day when your magic power is fully restored , you will find that your hard work during this time will become your lifetime wealth." Severus said a lot of comforting words for the first time.Neil lowered his head and didn't see it, and Severus' eyes were full of remorse and pride.

Hearing Severus' words, Neil felt that tears were about to well up from his eyes again.Taking a deep breath quickly, Neil tried hard to suppress the soreness in his heart. "I know, Father." He knew all this, he understood it all.It's just that he has worked hard for so long, but there is no effect at all. There is some urgency; some helplessness; and some powerlessness.Severus' comfort poured into Neil's heart like a clear spring. With his father's affirmation and encouragement, Neil only felt that he was full of strength.

Feeling Neil's emotions calm down, Severus let go of Neil's arms.Seeing Neil's face mixed with mud and tears, and his clothes that were wrinkled and torn with several holes, Severus said softly: "Go to the bathroom and wash, walk slowly, and watch your ankles." In fact, Severus Si's potion is very effective, and the injury on Neil's foot has basically recovered.Just out of concern, Severus couldn't help but ask.With that said, Severus stood up, took out a set of clothes from the closet, and handed it to Neil.

"Go."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

After taking a shower, Neil opened the clothes and was surprised to find that it was actually his size.Unable to help grinning, Neil put on the clothes.

Looking at myself in the mirror, after taking a shower and changing clothes, I am no longer as embarrassed as before.Only the reddish eye circles could not conceal how he lost his composure just now.

Rubbing his nose, Neil was a little embarrassed.At this moment, he couldn't believe it at all. He was crying like that in front of his father just now. It was so embarrassing!Looking at his smirking face in the mirror, Neil rubbed his flushed cheeks vigorously.

Recalling the strong hug just now, Neil felt sweet in his heart, like drinking a cup of chocolate.Neil calmed down, thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized that during this period of getting along, he became more and more unconsciously close to the man outside.

Looking at the door of the bathroom with misty eyes, at this moment, Neil finally admitted from the bottom of his heart that the person outside the door was his father!Thinking about this clearly, Neil's eyes became firm, and he secretly made up his mind - as long as he lives up to himself, he will always believe in him!

Taking a deep breath, Neil let his emotions return to normal, and walked out of the bathroom.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

When Neil entered the bathroom, Severus stood in the bedroom, hesitated for two seconds, and walked to the bookcase.Pulling out a book from the bookcase, Severus decided to change his schedule, not correct the test papers tonight, and relax.

Severus sat on the sofa awkwardly, refusing to admit that he decided to read because he was worried about Neil's state.

Turning another page, Severus heard the sound of the bathroom door opening.

"Done?" Severus put down the book in his hands and looked up.

Neil walked out of the bathroom in dark blue pajamas.Noticing Neal's wet hair, Severus frowned.

Walking into the bathroom, Severus grabbed a towel and walked out.

"Sit on the bed," Severus ordered.

Neil glanced at Severus inexplicably, and obediently walked on the bed.Severus walked behind Neil, picked up the towel, and began to wipe Neil's hair.

Neal was startled by Severus' sudden movement.Neil didn't dare to move, and sat stiffly on the bed, letting Severus do what he wanted.

After vigorously rubbing Neil's head for a while to make sure that Neil's hair was no longer dripping, Severus stopped. "Remember to wipe your hair after you take a shower." After saying this, Severus walked into the bathroom again with a wet towel.

Looking at Severus' back, Neil rubbed his scalp that was aching from being pulled vigorously, with a smirk on his face.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

After the bathtub was filled with water, Severus stripped off his clothes and strode into the bathtub.Unconsciously poking the bubbles in the bathtub, Severus was still a little bit stunned.

Just now, Neil's sudden crying really scared Severus.Severus was totally unprepared for Neil's sudden emotional breakdown.

Although Severus knew all along, Neil was under a lot of pressure during the start of school.But he took it for granted that since Neil was so strong, he would be able to persevere and nothing would happen.Applying bubbles all over his head, Severus found to his annoyance that he, as a father, had really failed his duty.He clearly knew how much pressure his son was under during this period, but he let the situation develop and ignored it.Even before that, he didn't even say a word of comfort and encouragement to Neil, and he didn't explain clearly why Neil had this situation, allowing Neil to make unnecessary guesses.

Flushing the bubbles off his head, Severus sighed in frustration.Could it be that he is really not suitable to be a good father, even if his son has experienced such a big setback, he can turn a blind eye and refuse to help at all?Severus tortured himself, asking himself.

After letting go of the hot water in the bathtub and rinsing off the bubbles, Severus stood up and picked up the clean towel beside him.Although a little annoyed, a little hesitant, a little distressed, and a little self-blame, Severus didn't intend to change his way.Whether he was cowardly or evasive, he really couldn't tell Neil what caused his physical condition.Regarding Neil's current situation in Slytherin, Severus has no intention of changing it. He knows that this situation cannot be changed by saying a word or two—Slytherin advocates power, and Neil's magic cycle If the system is not restored, his magic will not be able to reach the best state for a day, as long as he does not show great strength, his status quo in Slytherin cannot be changed.

Putting down the towel, Severus picked up the folded pajamas in the basket, and his eyes returned to coldness.Whether it's a good father or a bad father, I can only do this.If Neil wants to blame himself, blame it...

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Severus came out of the shower and found Neil sitting on the bed, concentrating on the book he had just put on the bed for him.Nodding in satisfaction, Severus remained silent, walked to the sofa and sat down, and continued his previous reading.

Putting down the book, Severus realized that the time had reached eleven o'clock unconsciously.Looking up, Severus found that Neal was still immersed in his reading with relish.

Seeing this, Severus sighed inwardly, his eyes filled with pride.He is worthy of being his own son, who has the same tireless pursuit of knowledge and power as himself!

Walking to the empty half of the bed, Severus pulled out the book from Neal's hand.

Neil was reading intently when suddenly the book in his hand was taken away.Looking up, Neil looked at Severus suspiciously.

"It's late, it's time to go to bed." Severus coughed uncomfortably and said.

Although he was a little bit reluctant, Neil nodded when he heard the words.Pulling back the quilt, Neil got into the quilt obediently and lay down on the bed.

Seeing that Neil was already lying down, Severus lay down himself.With a wave of the magic wand, the light in the room was extinguished, and the darkness and tranquility unique to the night were restored.

Neil originally thought that he would not be able to fall asleep lying next to this man.However, feel the side
