[HP] Father?dad!

lake.So it wasn't that I was dazzled just now, but it was really Black who was squatting at the door?Then why didn't he knock on the door immediately, but waited at the door for three hours?Is it fear—is it affecting your sleep?Not knowing exactly what kind of thoughts he was in, Neil walked downstairs.

"Neil, my little baby, Daddy is here to see you!" Seeing Neil coming downstairs, Sirius quickly licked his face. "This is a little gift prepared by Dad, let's see if you like it." After speaking, Sirius took out a toy snake that spit out a letter from his arms.

Neil twitched the corner of his mouth. "I'm not a child anymore." Neil said coldly.Seeing Black's instantly depressed aura, Neil curled his lips, and reluctantly took the toy from Black's hand.

Seeing Nilken accepting his gift, Sirius immediately revived.

Severus, who was standing aside, sneered when he saw this scene.

"Neil, can we have a good talk? I know, you misunderstood me a lot. That day, in the screaming shack, we didn't have a chance to have a good chat because it was so chaotic." See Neil After accepting his gift, Sirius continued his efforts, trying to narrow the distance between him and Neil.

Neil didn't answer, but went down the stairs without any other choice, walked to the sofa and sat down.Sirius hurriedly followed, ignoring Neil's cold gaze, and Sirius sat next to Neil.

Turning his head away, Neil didn't look at Sirius who was sitting next to him, but he didn't make a sound to drive him away.Severus stood behind the sofa with a forbearing expression on his face.He really wanted to throw this uninvited guest out, but he had promised Black that he couldn't stop him from getting along with Neil, so at this moment, even if Severus didn't want to, he couldn't put his behavior into action.Glancing at Neil sitting on the sofa, Severus looked puzzled.He knew that Neil was also unwilling to accept Black, and he also knew that Neil was not really unwilling to accept Black, but he couldn't forget the harm caused to him by Black's sloppy and careless.He knew that Neil cared about Blake from the bottom of his heart. Without love, there would be no hatred.That's the most important reason why Severus didn't stop Black from invading.He couldn't deprive Neil of the right to get along with 'mother' just because of his own selfishness.He hopes that Neil can become the happiest child in the world.No matter what grievances and grievances there are between him and Black, the hearts of him and Black love Neil will not change.Letting him disregard Neil's wishes and not allow him to contact Black, so as to maintain an intimacy with himself, this kind of thing, Severus would not do, nor would he bother to do.He just wanted to bring the best in the world to Neil, and let him grow up happily and carefree.Even if, for this reason, he had to put up with the people he hated the most, he didn't care.It is his responsibility to let Neil grow up happily, and he is duty bound in this regard.

Turning his head to the side, Neil was meditating quietly.He's never been one who doesn't want to face problems, and since Black has come and hasn't figured out what he wants to figure out, he won't throw him out.

"Who is Kath?" Contrary to Sirius' expectations, the first person Neil asked was Kath, whom he had only mentioned once.

Sirius fell silent, his expression becoming pained. "Kath's full name is Kath Shafik. She is a good friend of mine and a doctor. She was the one who delivered me at the time. After I gave birth to you, I took you away because I was going to find Peter. I entrusted it to her. Originally, I just planned to let her help me take care of you for a while, and when I found Peter, I would go and bring you back. But who knows, what happened later, I was thrown into Az Caban. At that time, when I was in Azkaban, Crouch came to see me and brought me a newspaper that published Kath's death." At this point, a line of tears flowed from Black's eyes come out.In his whole life, he had sorry to many people, but the one who was the most sorry was Kath.

Before he knew it, Neil also turned his head and listened carefully to Black's narration.

"At that time, I had been imprisoned in Azkaban for several days. Since the dementor was around me every day, my thinking was also greatly affected. I saw in the newspaper that Kath and he had just The son who was born died in the back alley. I thought it was you. Because Kath didn't have any children. When I left, her family had no other children except you. It never occurred to me that Kath actually She will replace you on the way to escape. I never thought that she would sacrifice her own life and the lives of others, just to let you survive." At this point, Sirius was sobbing.His body curled up into a ball, panting in pain. "At that time, I just thought that she was holding you and couldn't run away... Kath's attack magic power is not strong, and her physical strength is not good...I didn't even think that there would be other possibilities..."

Behind Sirius, Severus also had a solemn expression on his face.He also remembered that Kath Shafik, the youngest daughter of the Shafik family, was at their same level and studied in Ravenclaw.He only knew that the relationship between Shafik and Black had always been very good, and he knew nothing about the rest.He had never paid attention to this girl who had no interaction with him at all.He never thought that there is such a girl who is willing to give up her life and give up the chance to his son.No matter what, he would always be grateful to her in his heart for the rest of his life, even if she did it only for Black.

Neil was silent.He never knew that this was the reason why he was thrown beside the garbage dump.For a long time, he has been very resentful about being abandoned by the garbage dump. He never thought that he was put there not because he was not wanted, but because he was to be hidden so that he could gain greater vitality.With a sour heart, Neil felt sorry for this woman he had never met... No matter what, she gave her precious life because of herself... At this moment, Neil was stuck in his heart, so many years of resentment, all at once. All his sons disappeared... He suddenly discovered that, in fact, he has always been so lucky, so happy... When he was born, there was Aunt Kath who was willing to sacrifice her life to protect him... Later, there was Grandpa Being able to care for him unreservedly... After his grandfather left, he met his father again... He took care of him and educated him so wholeheartedly... And at this moment, he knew that his father was not as cruel as he thought , don't love him, don't want him, but just too much helplessness, let him miss him... Thinking of Sirius waiting at the door so early in the morning, just to see him; afraid of affecting his rest, he is stupid After squatting at the door for three hours, Neil's heart softened...

☆, reconciliation

Sirius, who was crying so much, suddenly twitched.Neil stood up in shock and supported Sirius. "Father, what's wrong with him?" Looking at Severus, Neil could not hide his anxiety.

Without answering, Severus hastily opened the medicine cabinet in the corner and took out a bottle of tranquilizer.After opening Sirius' mouth and pouring it into him, Sirius' limbs stopped twitching, and his expression became serene again.

"I'm fine, Neil." Sirius put on a smile and comforted his son. "It's just a small problem, I'm used to it." Seeing Neil worrying about him, he already felt very satisfied.

"Stop talking, take a break." Patting Sirius on the back, Neil turned to Severus with a puzzled look.

Severus looked at the handsome Sirius in front of him with a complicated expression, although he was very clean, but his face was weathered. "This is the sequelae of being infested by dementors for too long. Once he is too emotional, he will lose control and his limbs will twitch. If this kind of twitch is left alone, it will take more than ten minutes until he calms down. It will get better when it comes down. The sedative can also control this convulsion in time." Putting the empty bottle on the coffee table, Severus lowered his eyes.He didn't want to see how weak Black was now.

Sirius had already recovered.Showing a bohemian smile as if nothing had happened, Sirius patted his chest. "Don't worry, Neil, I'm fine. Look, I'm so strong." That's what he said, but Sirius' thin body was full of bones, and his body with no flesh visible made his words Not convincing at all.

Neil's mouth twitched.Since Sirius seemed to be fine, Neil continued to ask. "Then how did you find out that I belong to... your son? Since you thought I was dead." This question is what Neil wants to know the most.How on earth did Sirius recognize himself?He was sure that he didn't recognize him at first, otherwise he wouldn't have acted only being close to Harry on his birthday.

"It's like this..." Faced with this question, Sirius hesitated, "Didn't you play with Harry on your birthday? After you got off the broom, the gold medal on your chest fell out for me to see. We're here." Hearing this, Severus threw a sharp glance at Neil—how dare he secretly ride a broom behind his back!

Neil gave Severus an ingratiating smile and tugged on La Severus's robe.Severus glared at him - I'll deal with you later!It showed in his eyes.

Shrinking his neck, Neil turned his head and continued to listen to Sirius. "How could I not recognize that brand! It was a gold medal that I spent a lot of time making. It was specially worn around your neck when you were born. It can resist evil spells. I have already suspected that you are Not my son anymore. It's just that you don't look like me at all, but you look so much alike—Snape, I can't believe it. As soon as I saw that sign, I was sure you were my son."

Neil keenly noticed the flickering pause when Sirius mentioned his father's name.A trace of doubt flashed in his heart.How could Sirius not even know who he was having sex with?He turned his head and glanced furtively at Severus.His face was gloomy.

Severus' eyes were full of anger, he hated Sirius so straight up.Realizing that he almost slipped the tongue, Sirius avoided Severus' sight, with a guilty expression on his face.

Although he was puzzled deep in his heart, seeing the strange reactions of Severus and Sirius, Neil thoughtfully pretended not to notice, ignoring the problem.For this question, he also got the answer.Although he was a little upset, Neil couldn't blame him on this issue.He was keenly aware of the bad relationship between Severus and Sirius.Perhaps, at first, Sirius didn't want to get close to him because he thought he was Severus' son.

But——Neil glanced suspiciously at Severus and Sirius calmly.How could such two people have a relationship?It is incredible!

"Neil, can you give me a chance to make it up to you?" Sirius stood up and looked at Neil expectantly, "I will definitely treat you very well! You are my most important thing! Give me a chance to make up for my mistakes, okay?"

Seeing the cautious expression on Sirius' shriveled cheeks, Neil felt sore in his heart.This man has suffered so much for so many years... Neil just passed out after seeing a dementor when he started school, but the man in front of him stayed with the dementor and lived with the dementor for a full 12 years!What kind of days were those 12 years, Neil could hardly imagine!There, he lived like a walking dead year after year, until the flame of revenge ignited his life again!However, in that situation, Peter was already in front of him, and he was already able to kill his enemy, but his first reaction was still to explain the truth of the incident to himself!What else is there for him like this, so worthy of his own resentment...

Looking into Sirius' eyes, Neil remained silent for a long time.Finally, when Sirius' hopeful eyes were dimming and the flames in his eyes were about to go out, Neil finally nodded slowly...

Sir Lisbon raised his drooping head, and his eyes suddenly shone brightly. "Hahaha, that's great, Neil!" Sirius laughed and stood up, hugging Neil.Spinning around excitedly, Sirius' uncontrollable laughter wafted in the air.

Seeing this scene, Severus twitched the corner of his mouth, his expression a little disdainful and a little lonely.Taking a step back and sitting on the sofa, Severus watched the scene in front of him blankly without saying a word.

Neil was a little surprised when he was hugged at first, but seeing Sirius's face full of brilliance, Neil withdrew the rejection he was about to blurt out.After being turned around three times in a row, Neil couldn't take it anymore.Knocking on Sirius' arm, Neil made a sound. "Put me down."

After hearing Neil's words, Sirius didn't dare to make a fuss, so he hurriedly stopped.He was no longer young, and his health was not good. After hugging Neil for a few laps, Sirius only felt that his waist was excruciatingly painful.Reluctant to put Neil on the ground, Sirius simply hugged Neil and sat on the sofa again.Burying his face in Neil's hair, Sirius' voice choked. "Great, Neil, my son. I finally found you again..."

Neil, who wanted to push Sirius away, fell silent after hearing this.After hesitating for a second, Neil's hand that was about to push back turned into a clap.He gently stroked Sirius' head resting on his head, comforting him silently.

After a long time, Sirius raised his head with snot and tears.Neil took out a handkerchief from his pocket with black lines all over his face and handed it to Sirius.Who is the son and who is the father of the two of them?

After receiving the handkerchief, Sirius blushed and wiped away the tears on his face, then directly put the handkerchief into his arms.Seeing Sirius' cheeky movements, Neil rolled his eyes towards the sky.

After watching the interaction between Black and Neil come to an end, Severus asked the question he was most concerned about. "Blake, how did you find this place? As far as I know, your empty brain should not have received any information about my residence."

Holding Neil contentedly, Sirius was in a good mood and ignored the hidden provocation in Severus' words. "I asked Hedwig to bring me here. Didn't Hedwig come to deliver the letter yesterday? I let it lead the way and ran over." Speaking of this, Sirius was still proud of his superior IQ .

What?Hearing Sirius' words, Neil's eyes widened in surprise.He thought that Sirius came directly because he knew this place, but who knew, he let Hedwig lead the way! "Why did you come here with Hedwig?" Neil couldn't help but asked the doubts in his heart.

Naturally, Sirius knew everything about Neil's question and talked endlessly. "After I become a dog, I can communicate with animals." Anyway, Snape also knew his Animagus, so Sirius said directly, "Then, I will discuss with Hedwig and ask him to bring I'm here. I just ran over with it on my back!"

Neil was simply amazed at the fantastic conception of Sirius.But thinking that he actually ran over at night, Neil felt warm inside again. "What about Hedwig? Why didn't you see it?"

"I let it go back with the letter first. I ran out secretly, let it go back and tell Harry first, so that Harry won't wake up in the morning and see that I am not worried." Sirius said lightly.

Neil twitched the corner of his mouth.He found that since he met Sirius, the frequency of his doing this action has skyrocketed.Frowning, he already foresees that this action may have many connections with him in the future.

"By the way, can I live here?" Sirius' ability to make inroads was first-rate.No, just after reconciling with Neil, Sirius grabbed the pole and climbed up.Looking at Neil expectantly, Sirius didn't care to sit aside, the real owner of this house - Severus.

Neil had a bitter face, his expression a little stiff.He can't be the master of this issue.Turning his head, Neil peered at Severus' expression.

Severus' blood boiled when he heard Sirius' question.He knows it!He knows it!Gritting his teeth in his heart, Severus wanted to kick out this Gryffindor who didn't know what politeness was!

Staring at Sirius, Severus' eyes were like poisonous snakes. "Maybe it's because of the reduction of brains over the years that you have overlooked a little bit—but unfortunately, I am the owner of this place!"

☆, tidy up

Sirius choked on Severus' torrent of venom.Staring at Severus, Sirius, who had just been forgiven by Neil, had his tail up in the sky. "Snotling, you don't have a place to speak here! Do you still want to stop me from getting along with Neil?!" Sirius could almost be said to be threatening Severus openly.

"You—" Severus leaned forward, gritting his teeth.

"Enough!" Neil broke free from Sirius' embrace and jumped to the ground.Seeing the two of them tense, Neil only felt a sharp pain in his temple. "Can't you get along well!" After shouting, Neil turned and ran upstairs.

Sirius stared dumbfounded at Neil's running away figure, and lowered his left hand in frustration, which tried to hold Neil but failed.

Severus proudly leaned over to Sirius.Looking down at Sirius who was still sitting on the sofa, Severus had a silky voice. "See, stupid dog? This is what happens when you fight against me. Neal is still on my side."

Sirius glared at Severus as if to protest the new nickname. "Don't call me that!" Sirius roared, his expression grim.

Ignoring Sirius' madness, Severus walked gracefully to the door and opened it. "Good to go, don't send."

Glancing at Severus bitterly, Sirius didn't want to stay for a second longer in Snape's living room without Neil.Looking pitifully at the empty stairs, Sirius stood up resentfully, and strode away.

Anyway, Neil has forgiven him, and he doesn't care about living here!Take Neil to him when he gets the house in order!Thinking of this, Sirius glanced at Severus triumphantly.

Ignoring Sirius' inexplicable gaze, Severus slammed the door shut with a 'bang'.

Sirius touched the ashes on his nose, cursed, and Apparated away.

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

Entering the room, Neil's face was unexpectedly calm.It wasn't that he couldn't stand the quarrel between the two of them and ran away, but because he didn't know how to refuse Sirius' request, but he couldn't ask to keep Sirius without Severus' consent.In a dilemma, Neil had to leave with an excuse.

Taking off his shoes, Neil jumped onto the bed.Leaning on the bed, Neil began to think quietly.

The conversation with Sirius before made Neil untie all the knots in his heart.His only doubt now is, but the relationship between father and——father is so bad, under what circumstances did they have their own?After a brief contact with Sirius, Neil has already discovered that it is easy to trick him.It's just that my father doesn't want me to know about this, so I won't do anything he doesn't want in front of him.Thinking of this, Neil has already made up his mind to find a separate opportunity to ask Sirius to see if he can get some more information.

After all, one of them is his father, and the other is his father... The two of them are so tense, and it will be difficult for them to be caught in the middle...

"Knock-knock..." Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Hearing the knock on the door, Neil knew that it was Severus outside the door.

really.

"Father." Neil put on his shoes obediently and left the bed.

Severus took two steps forward and looked at Neil inexplicably. "Do you blame me for not telling you that Black is your father?"

Neil shook his head. "You always have your reasons." Looking straight into Severus' eyes, Neil looked sincere.

After hearing Neil's words, Severus' expression revealed a trace of relief.Taking a deep look at Neil, Severus said slowly, "Presumably, from today's contact, you can find that my relationship with Black is not good." Severus knew that Neil had always been So smart and astute, even a little bit of clues can't hide it from him, not to mention the fact that the disagreement between him and Black is so obvious. "I don't want to deny that."

Raising his hand, Severus stopped Neil from speaking, and continued: "But, this is just a grievance between me and him. After all, he is your father, and I will not prevent you from getting to know and get along with him." .” Having said that, Severus' expression darkened. "It's just that I won't accept him because of that." Looking at Neil seriously, Severus communicated with him on an equal footing.He didn't want to treat Neil like a child. All along, Neil's performance was good enough to make people take his opinion seriously.

No matter how hateful Black is in his opinion, after all, Black is Neil's biological person, and Neil was born in October of his laborious pregnancy, and even, in this matter, he was indeed responsible for him. .Therefore, based on emotion and reason, he has no reason to prevent their father and son from getting along.However, it is impossible for him and Black to get along peacefully in a lifetime!

"I understand." Neil nodded in understanding.

Taking a deep look at Neil, Severus said, "Just as long as you understand."

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

"Godfather, are you back?" Harry woke up early in the morning and found the letter Sirius asked Hedwig to bring to him.In the letter, Sirius mentioned that he had gone to Neil and told Harry not to worry.Harry couldn't help admiring Sirius for coming up with such a cool idea of ​​using Hedwig to lead the way.After breakfast, Harry sat in the living room while maintaining the Firebolt while waiting for Sirius' return.

"How did you go with Neil?" Harry asked with concern, carefully putting down the Firebolt in his hand.

"Neil forgive me!" Sirius said happily and loudly, his brows were full of joy.Rushing happily into the living room, Sirius accidentally disturbed the portrait of his mother.

"You bastard! Disgrace to the family! Prodigal son!" A sharp female voice came from the portrait, and Sirius strode forward to pull down the curtain that was swung open.

When the echoing voice in the room disappeared, Sirius' face was already pale.

"Who is that?—" Harry opened his mouth wide, shocked by what he had just seen.

"That's my mother." Sirius said dryly with a gloomy face. "I was expelled from the family before, but now that I am the only one left in the Black family, I have come back." Sirius was unwilling to say more about the past.With a brief mention, Sirius changed the subject, "Be careful when you are in the living room from now on, don't open the curtain and wake her up."

Frightened by the scream just now, Harry nodded upon hearing that. "What's going on with you and Neil? I heard from you just now that Neil has forgiven you?" Now, what Harry cares most about is the progress between Neil and Sirius, regarding matters that had nothing to do with him ten years ago , Harry didn't pay attention.

"Yes." As he spoke, Sirius cheerfully told Harry the details of going to Snape's house today. "So Neil forgave me."

"So, that's how it happened." Harry's expression was a bit sad.On the night at the Screaming Shack, Sirius only mentioned Kath, but didn't go into details, and Harry didn't pay attention to this person at the time.Only after listening to Sirius explain it carefully again just now, did Harry figure out the whole story.He also understood why Neil forgave Sirius.Once, Harry heard Grandpa Jeff say that over the years, what Neil is most worried about is that he was treated as garbage and abandoned like a shoe.Although Neil never mentioned this matter to him face to face, it showed that Neil cared so much about this matter that he couldn't mention it.Today, Sirius' answer untied this knot in Neil's heart and made him understand that he was not abandoned back then. On the contrary, there were people who gave their lives to save him. Naturally softened.

"Then did you and Neil talk about anything else? Did you invite him to live at home?" Harry was also very concerned about this question.It would be great to live with Neil.Before, he had never had such extravagant hopes, and he dared not let him go to Professor Snape's territory.However, ever since he knew that Neil was Black's son and that he was Black's godson, Harry started thinking about it.He hopes to have the opportunity to live with Neil, and he hopes to have the opportunity to become a real family with Neil.In this way, he, Neil, the godfather, and their family can live happily together. Just thinking about it makes them extremely happy.

Hearing Harry's question, Sirius shrank his head guiltily. "At that time, I proposed to live with them, but in the end, Snape rejected it. I was only focused on arguing with him, and Neil was pissed off..." At this point, Sirius hurriedly added One sentence, "However, I will definitely find a chance to let Neil live at home! After all, Neil is also my son, and he can't just live with Snape all the time!"

After hearing Sirius' answer, Harry wasn't too surprised.In the past few days, he had seen Sirius jump off, and Harry was not at all surprised that he messed up the matter.Anyway, since Neil has forgiven Sirius, with his personality, sooner or later he will agree to stay at Sirius' house for a period of time at an appropriate time.How much Neil longed for his parents, no one knew better than him.He still remembered when he was a child, when he and Neil were playing mud, Neil's envious eyes when he saw the little girl passing by was held by his mother.At that time, Neil was not as good at hiding his emotions as he is now.

"Why do I feel that you don't have a good relationship with Professor Snape?" Realizing something was wrong, Harry asked directly.

Sirius laughed and tried to change the subject. "Harry, let's clean up the house! When Neil comes over, we can happily live together in a clean house!"

After hearing what Sirius said, Harry didn't think much about it. "Okay." Harry also felt that the living room was simply too eerie.If you can tidy up and adjust it, that would be great!Standing up, Harry was full of energy: "Then now! Start from the living room!"

☆, go home

On this day, Neil received the report card and the next year's book list from Hogwarts.Looking at the 'O's on the report card, the corners of Neil's mouth rose slightly.This year, he has worked so hard, but it is not in vain.Not only in terms of grades, but also in terms of magic power.Since the magic circulation system was fully restored, Neil obviously found that when he casts magic with all his strength, the power and speed of magic are much higher than those of his peers.This made Neil, who had been suppressed for so long, very happy.

Seeing Neil's expression, Severus, who was sitting at the other end of the table, leaned slightly and took out the report card from Neil's hand.Glancing at the report card, Severus had a soft expression. "Congratulations, Neil."

"Thank you, father." Neil nodded reservedly, "I still have a lot to learn, this is just a small step."

After hearing Neil's words, Severus nodded in satisfaction.Severus couldn't be more satisfied with Neil's attitude towards learning, so he no longer intends to educate him.

Pursing his lips, Severus' expression returned to seriousness. "Today, I will teach you how to brew tranquilizers." Because Neil had shown excellent potion skills for a while, Severus decided to increase the speed of Neil's potion learning.

Neil raised an eyebrow.This is not the learning content that my father formulated for himself at the beginning.Is it for dad?After thinking about it, Neil thought of the reason why Severus taught him how to make the tranquilizer in advance.Taking a sneak peek at Severus, he realized that his father wasn't as indifferent to his father as he thought he was.

"Okay." Without saying much, Neil simply agreed to Severus' arrangement.

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

It was already noon when the potions course was finished.As soon as Neil walked out of the cellar, he saw Hedwig combing her feathers in the living room.

He removed the letter from Hedwig's lap and fed Hedwig some food before Neil opened the letter.After reading it, Neil raised his head and looked at Severus.

"It's—a letter from Sirius." For the time being, Neil couldn't call Sirius Dad, so he made the next best thing and chose to call him by his Christian name. "He wants me to live with him for a while." After briefly repeating the contents of the letter, Neil raised his head and looked at Severus questioningly, waiting for his opinion.

Seeing Neil's expression, Severus knew that Neil wanted to go.The awkwardness in his heart made Severus not agree immediately, but just looked at Neil with empty eyes.

"I'm only going for three days." Seeing that Severus was reluctant, Neil immediately added the specific time. "I just want to see the environment where he lives now." To be honest, Sirius just came out of Azkaban, and his body is so weak, Neil would feel a little uncomfortable if he didn't go and see how he lives now. rest assured.After all, Sirius didn't look like he would take care of himself.

Seeing this, Severus nodded reluctantly, fearing that Neil would misunderstand, Severus added something. "I just don't want your academic progress to fall behind. You don't have to practice magic there." Generally speaking, students are not allowed to use magic during the summer vacation, but Severus will naturally have a way around it.A second-hand magic wand and a magic circle shielding traces easily solved this problem.However, Neil was only in the second grade after all, and if he didn't practice magic under his supervision, Severus wouldn't be at ease.Besides, with someone as unreliable as Black, Severus was even more worried.Therefore, no matter how long-winded, Severus would also like to ask.

"I know." Neil would not refute Severus' request. "Then I'll reply?" Seeing Severus nodding, Neil took Hedwig upstairs.

Looking at Neil's back, Severus was expressionless and stiff.Thinking of Black made Severus feel a lump in his chest.Anyway, Neil is only staying there for a short time - Severus told himself so, considering Neil's personality that loves learning so much, even if Black wants him to stay there for a few more days, it will definitely be impossible!

Thinking of this, Severus felt a little better in his heart.Checking the time, Severus walked into the kitchen and started preparing today's lunch.

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

After receiving Neil's reply, Sirius happily came to Snape's house early the next morning.At this time, Neil had already packed his luggage for the three days.

"Where's Snape?" After entering the door, Sirius was a little surprised to find that Snape wasn't there.

"Father is brewing potions, there is no time
