[HP] Father?dad!

With the extra milk on the table, Neil's eyes flashed, and he gave Severus a strange look.

Severus coughed lightly, turning his head away awkwardly. "Inadvertently, I poured an extra glass. If you can't drink it, you can give it to Black to solve it. Anyway, Gryffindor's appetite is a bottomless pit."

There was a smile in Neil's eyebrows, and he didn't expose Severus' little trick.It's rare that my father is willing to take a step closer. It would be bad if I provoked him into anger. "Okay, father." Neil nodded solemnly, taking over this sweet and pleasant task. "I'll take it to Dad right away."

Severus' face darkened, and he turned to leave.

"Father." To Severus' surprise, Neal called out from behind and stopped him.Severus stopped, turning around suspiciously. "Is there anything else?"

Neil pursed his lips nervously and stood up straight. "Today, Draco gave me a copy of "The Origin of the Dark Arts" by the Malfoy family. After school started, he hoped that I would study it with him." Neil spoke quickly and concisely. "Father, don't worry, I will only conduct theoretical research for the time being, and I will not practice it this year." When it came to business, especially the things that Severus had clearly opposed before, Neil was a little nervous.

Taking a deep look at Neil, Severus looked unpredictable. "Don't rush in." Finally, Severus left four simple words and turned to leave.

He believed that seeing Draco like this now, Neil would have a sense of proportion.Although it was not expected that Draco would learn black magic with Lanier, but Draco had already spoken, and Severus would naturally not stop his son at will and affect his communication in Slytherin.As for not telling Neal about Draco's backlash from the black magic, it was also because he didn't think it was necessary for him to speak about it.If Draco approved of Neil, he would naturally tell him; if Draco didn't tell Neil, then there was no need for Neil to know about it at this time.

After Severus left, Neil came to Sirius' room with another full glass of milk.By this time, Sirius was already lying on the bed, drowsy.

"Baby Neil." Seeing Neil enter the room, Sirius sat up weakly. "Are you here to give Dad a loving goodnight kiss?" Sirius tuned, smiling.Immediately, he saw the milk in Neil's hand. "So it's here to bring milk to daddy, baby is so sweet." As he spoke, Sirius took the milk glass from Neil's hand with a smile and began to sip.

"Father prepared this glass of milk for you." Neil said lightly, with a hint of a smile hidden in his tone.Influenced by Sirius, in front of him, Neil's expression gradually became much more lively than usual.At this moment, Neil deliberately didn't speak until Sirius was half drunk, teasing him a little.

When Sirius heard this, he was shocked immediately, a mouthful of milk stuck in his throat.It took a long time for Sirius to react.In one go, he drank up the remaining milk, and Sirius wiped his mouth with his hand, with an expression of disbelief. "Snape prepared it? How is this possible?!" No one knew better than him how much Snape hated him, because he also hated Snape so much.Such an indifferent and hating person actually prepares milk for him for the first time, how can he believe it? !Looking at Neil, Sirius' face was full of doubts and incomprehension.

Neil took the milk glass calmly, put it on the table, and sat beside Sirius' bed. "How is this impossible? Dad, father still cares about you. He saw that you are not in good spirits today, so he deliberately prepared milk for you, hoping that you can sleep peacefully. Even if it is for me, don't be angry, okay?" Neil didn't have such a strong respect and reverence for Sirius, who was smiling all day long, so it was easier for him to say what was in his heart.Knowing that Sirius cared about him, Neil played a little trick with his words.Even though he knew that this might not be the case, Neil still disguised himself as a little boy who knew nothing but hoped that his parents could reconcile.

Sure enough, Sirius, who was always nervous about Neil, fell for it. "I...I..." Even with several of me, Sirius didn't come up with a single one.With a wry smile in his heart, Sirius also had a hint of helplessness on his face.He and Snape had never had a good time, how to talk about reconciliation!In the end, Sirius, who couldn't see his son disappointed, still took Neil into his arms. "Dad will work hard, trust Dad, okay?" Sirius made a promise that he didn't even believe.Facing Neil's begging eyes, Sirius really couldn't refuse.

Neil, who was thinking this way, didn't see that Neil, who was buried in his arms, showed a sly smile after his wish came true.

"Baby." Sirius suddenly hugged Neil tightly under the quilt. "Sleep with Dad, okay? For so many years, Dad has never slept with you." At the end, Sirius' eyes were slightly moist.

Sirius had rubbed him directly into the quilt, so Neil couldn't refuse. "Okay, Dad." Neil pushed the boat smoothly and agreed to Sirius' request.

Sirius, who had been sleepy for a long time, even fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.Lying in Sirius' arms, feeling the fiery and familiar temperature around him, Neil gradually fell asleep...

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

what sound?In the darkness, Neil, who was always awake from sleep, was suddenly awakened by the noise outside.After listening quietly for a while, Neil felt that something was wrong and decided to get up and take a look.

Opening the door, Neil saw Severus coming out of another room as well.At this moment, Severus' expression was serious and his brows were tightened.

"Neil, wake Black up." Seeing Neil walking out of Black's room, Severus said calmly, ignoring the slight discomfort in his heart.

"Okay, Father." Neil walked into the bedroom again with a stern face, only to find that Sirius had already woken up.

"Neil, what's the matter?" Sirius lifted the quilt from his body, got off the bed, and began to get dressed.Although he slept deeply when he was in a deep sleep, the experience of escaping from prison before made Sirius easily wake up when encountering something.

"I don't know." Neil shook his head, indicating that he didn't know the situation either. "Let's go out and have a look first." After speaking, Neil checked the position of the wand again and walked out of the room.Sirius also came out following Neil.

By this time, Severus had gone out to investigate.Back in the tent, Severus looked ugly. "There's a commotion outside. Take Neil and apparate back first, and I'll go check on the situation." At this time, Severus didn't care too much, and asked directly.The game is over, and the anti-apparition spell has been revoked in the arena, and now the apparition spell can be cast freely in the arena.

"No!" Contrary to Severus' expectations, Sirius refuted Severus' arrangement without thinking. "Harry is still at the Weasleys' house, I'm worried, I'm going to check it out! There are so many children in the Weasleys' house, and Arthur can't take care of them alone if something goes wrong." Although Sirius was more attached to Neil , but for Harry, he also cares and loves him very much.At this moment, not knowing Harry's safety, Sirius was naturally unwilling to leave. "You take Neil and go first, I'll go find Harry!"

Severus frowned.He didn't forget that it was his unshirkable responsibility to protect the savior, even if it was for Lily, he couldn't let him have an accident.Sirius was badly damaged, and Severus didn't feel comfortable leaving him alone to find Potter.He was worried that if anything happened to Potter, even if Black was present, it would not help.

The atmosphere froze.Severus and Sirius stared at each other, uncompromising.

"Why don't you send me to brother Draco, and then you go together?" Unable to see the stalemate between the two adults, Neil suggested aloud. "The Malfoy's tent is next door, so it won't waste time." Neil didn't try to be brave, and asked to go together.He knew his weight well, and knew that if something really happened, his presence would only hinder him.

Although neither Severus nor Sirius wanted to act together with each other, they could only acquiesce to Neil's proposal because time was tight.After making the decision, the three rushed out of the tent without wasting any time.

The outside was already full of flames at this time, the crowd was surrounded by wild laughter and screams, and the surroundings were in chaos.Neil waved at Severus and Sirius, and trotted into the Malfoy's tent.Entrusting Neil to Narcissa, Severus and Sirius left anxiously.

Seeing Draco's pale face sitting aside, Neil approached and asked in a low voice. "Where's Uncle Lucius?"

Draco shook his head, lowering his voice. "He just went out to check on the situation."

☆, World Cup ([-])

Neil nodded.At this time, Narcissa, who was wearing extremely complicated pajamas, had already got up and went back to the bedroom to change.And Draco was already dressed neatly at this time, but the fluffy hair exposed the fact that the master hadn't dressed carefully in a hurry.

Looking around the empty surroundings, Draco quietly leaned into Neil's ear. "Shall we go out and have a look?" Draco's expression was full of eagerness.

Neil frowned, somewhat disapproving of Draco's aggressiveness. "It's dangerous outside." Neil stated realistically.

"Okay." Draco waved his hand nonchalantly. "Those people are targeting Muggles and Mudbloods, there's no danger for us going out."

A cold light flashed in Neil's eyes.Staring at Draco, Neil pretended not to care and asked, "Do you know the origins of those people outside?"

Draco straightened his hair and opened his mouth showing off. "I heard from Dad that Death Eaters organized the carnival, but I don't understand why Dad didn't participate." Tilting his head, Draco looked a little puzzled.

Neil's expression became serious. "Draco, have you carefully studied the Dark Lord and his order of Death Eaters?"

Draco shook his head inexplicably, not knowing the meaning of Neil's words.For the past year, Draco's mind has been devoted to the dark arts, and there is no time to learn about other things.And for the previous two years, Draco was thinking of finding fault with Harry every day, and kept getting angry, without the slightest thought. "A lot of Slytherins are Death Eaters, aren't they? I heard that the Dark Lord was very charming back then. He led the purebloods to try to regain the glory of the past. Unfortunately, he lost to the Savior and fell into the into Harry's hands." Having said that, Draco shook his head regretfully.If only he could see the heroic appearance of the Dark Lord back then...

After hearing Draco's naive and ignorant words, Neil's brows were so wrinkled that they could kill a mosquito.He had to lament that Uncle Lucius had protected Draco so well that he was now like a flower in a greenhouse, completely ignorant of the reality and cruelty of the outside world.

Seeing Draco's expression full of envy and pity, Neil really didn't know what to say. "Let's go, go out and have a look." After carefully analyzing Draco's words, he thought that what he said was reasonable, and the two of them were indeed not in any danger, so Neil agreed to Draco's suggestion of taking risks.In his opinion, no matter how much he said, it would be better for Draco to see it with his own eyes.He still cares about Draco as a cousin, he doesn't want him to be ignorant of the world and go the wrong way in a daze.Of course, Neil will not give up what he has just to help Draco, but on the premise of not affecting himself, do a little more, so that Draco can see the Death Eaters clearly, so as not to make mistakes in the future. On the other hand, Neil is still willing.

So Draco left a note, and the two boys walked out of the tent, hand in hand.

"Look, those Muggles!" Draco pointed to the family of three with their heads upside down floating in the sky, with a happy expression.Draco now has a deep hatred for Muggles.Seeing the suspected Death Eaters struggling to abuse Muggles, Draco only felt very happy.

Neil blankly glanced at the painful expressions of the three people floating in the sky, and pulled Draco to the side.

Although he was somewhat reluctant to leave like this, Draco didn't want to make Neil lose face, so he followed him into a secluded woods.Neil's right hand had been tightly gripping his wand ever since he left the tent.

"You thought that scene just now was very interesting?" Neil asked Draco aloud, leaning against a tree.

"Isn't it?" Draco raised his eyebrows, his expression full of confusion.He didn't understand why Neil was so angry. "Those dirty, dirty, cheap, Muggles deserve this kind of treatment." Draco sneered.After that injury, Draco had a deep hatred for Muggles in his heart.Therefore, seeing the miserable appearance of those three Muggles, Draco would only feel happy, without any sympathy or intolerance.

Neil knew that he couldn't be hard on Draco. "Yes, I admit, if it's a Muggle, it's nothing." Knowing that Draco was full of prejudice against Muggles, Neil first affirmed his thoughts. "But Death Eaters don't just treat Muggles like this." Then, Neil began to describe what he had learned during the year, "They treat everyone who opposes them so cruelly, whether they are Muggles or Muggles. melon seeds, mixed blood or even pure blood."

Draco's expression froze for a moment.Turning his head sharply, Draco looked at Neil. "It's the same for pure blood, it's impossible!" Draco's voice was sharp.

"If you don't believe me, you can go back and read the newspaper I found." Neil's expression couldn't be more serious. "Longbottom's parents were driven mad by the Cruciatus Curse 14 years ago."

"That—that's because—they joined the Order of the Phoenix, against the Death Eaters—" Draco defiantly said.His expression was tense, and his eyes were a little bewildered.He didn't know about it.Lucius never told him about the Dark Lord, about the Death Eaters, and he didn't really know much about the Death Eaters.

"What about the Prewett family?" Neil also raised his voice, "They didn't join the Order of the Phoenix! They were killed by the Dark Lord just because they didn't want to join the Death Eaters!" Neil took a deep breath, and he I know I'm getting a little emotional.These things should not be said in this place.This place is full of danger now, and someone may come over at any time.And if his words were heard by someone with a heart, the consequences would be disastrous.Neil laughed at himself in his heart. It seems that he really has Sirius' genes in him. Otherwise, he who has always been cautious would not have done such a crazy thing today...

"Let's go back first." Neil looked around cautiously, and he was relieved when he didn't see anyone else. "We'll talk about the rest when we go back."

Draco was stiff at this moment, his thoughts had been completely caught up in Neil's words just now.

Fortunately, it was not far from the tent. Neil took Draco by the hand, and it didn't take long for him to see the Malfoy's tent from a distance.

Sudden.

A gigantic skull appeared in the sky. In the darkness, this group of green light gradually rose to the sky, igniting the entire venue.

Neil only felt that the blood in his whole body was congealed.Although he had only seen that mark once, he would never forget it—it was the Dark Mark!

Fortunately, Neil quickly came back to his senses.Dragging Draco hard, Neil trotted back to the tent.

"Where are you guys going!" At the door of the tent, Neil and Draco saw Narcissa who was full of anxiety.At this time, Narcissa did not have the usual elegance and calmness at all. She rushed forward, checked Draco carefully, and confirmed that Neil was fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"You guys! How dare you go out suddenly!" Narcissa was furious!She changed and came out to find that Draco and Neal were gone.At that moment, Narcissa was terrified.Running out of the tent in a hurry, Narcissa saw the huge Dark Mark hanging in the sky, and was so frightened that three souls disappeared and seven souls disappeared.Fortunately, at this time, Neil and Draco came back, otherwise, Narcissa simply didn't know what to do.

"Mom, we just looked at the door." Although I don't know when Narcissa came out.But since he met her at the door and estimated how quickly Narcissa would change clothes, Draco boldly lied.

Although Narcissa was a little puzzled, since both Draco and Neil were safe, she just turned a blind eye and closed her eyes, not pursuing further.

"Now, let's go back to Malfoy Manor!" The top priority is to go home first. The Dark Mark has already appeared, and Narcissa dare not take the risk of staying in this dangerous place again.Nervously leading the two children into the tent, Narcissa took out the port key from her bag.

"catch."

After a strong whirl, the three of them returned to Malfoy Manor.

After Narcissa left again, Neil continued the topic just now.Looking at Draco who was a little out of control, Neil spoke calmly. "Have you noticed how nervous Aunt Narcissa was when she saw the Dark Mark?" That day, after Narcissa and Sirius met, Neil changed his words and stopped calling Narcissa Auntie. "If Uncle Lucius is really a Death Eater, and he had a good life before, how could Aunt Narcissa have such an expression when she saw the Dark Mark?" I have to say, Neil's speculation ability is absolutely top-notch, Even if he is only given some trivial and subtle clues, he can quickly sort out the key points and deduce the truth of the matter.

Draco fell silent.Although he didn't want to believe it at this time, Narcissa's obvious panic and fear just now made it impossible for Draco to refute Neil's words.

It took a long time for Draco to speak out with difficulty. "Perhaps, what you said is right." What Draco didn't say was that although others couldn't be sure, he knew clearly that his father was indeed a Death Eater.In this case, the mother also showed obvious fear, which was the very bad guess that Draco had to make.What kind of organization are the Death Eaters?At this moment, Draco felt a sense of urgency.He must understand this issue clearly!Now that their family is already in the center of the whirlpool, he doesn't want to be like before, only enjoying the love of his parents, but not asking about the situation at home!He is part of the family, and he should know these things!

"Neil, do you have a deeper understanding of Death Eaters?" Making up his mind, Draco began to enlist his accomplices.

Neil hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"Then let's investigate the Death Eaters together?" Draco's eyes shone brightly. "I want to know whether this organization is worth joining, and whether the Dark Lord is worth following." Draco said these words, making Neil feel a lot more mature in an instant.

Neil agreed without hesitation.That's what he thought.Because he had just entered the wizarding world after all, he didn't know many things. What he knew about Voldemort and the Death Eaters was only speculation from old newspapers.These speculations are broad but not detailed.Neil wanted to know more about this organization.If Draco could join him in his investigation of the Death Eaters and the Dark Lord, it would be more effective.After all, Harry was destined to be against Voldemort in the future, and because he did not agree with Voldemort's policy, it was impossible to stand on Voldemort's side.Therefore, knowing yourself and the enemy is a top priority.Besides, he was also eager to find out about that rumor——

Was Severus Snape a Death Eater?

☆, talk

It wasn't until early in the morning that Severus rushed to Malfoy's house to pick up Neil, and at this time, Lucius hadn't returned home.

"Father, is Harry okay?" Back home, Neil asked concerned.

Severus scowled, his face darkened. "You'll know when you get home." Severus apparated with Neil without waiting for Neil's answer.

Back home, Neil visited Black's house. Seeing that Sirius and Harry hadn't woken up yet, Neil pestered Severus to ask him about the night.

"Father, was it the Dark Mark that appeared in the sky last night?" Nilton paused, and decided to go straight to the point, "Has the Dark Lord been resurrected?"

Severus glanced at Neil in surprise, but he didn't doubt why Neil knew about the Dark Mark.The appearance of the Dark Mark on the World Cup this morning had already appeared on the front page, and Severus knew that Neil had the habit of reading newspapers every day. "No." Severus shook his head. "It's just a few Death Eaters who don't know their importance." After speaking, Severus sneered.In his opinion, these few people simply don't know how to live or die. At the critical moment when the Dark Lord is about to make a comeback, they actually dare to do some reckless things in the name of the Dark Lord.When the Dark Lord returns, these few Death Eaters who don't want to look for the Dark Lord at all, but only know how to enjoy messing around, will definitely become the sacrifices of the Dark Lord Liwei.

"That is to say, those people did that kind of behavior yesterday just because they wanted to have a carnival?" Seeing that Severus was willing to answer his own question, Neil continued to ask.

Severus nodded, acquiescing to Neil's guess.

"Is Uncle Lucius involved?" Looking directly at Severus, Neil stubbornly wanted to know an answer.If Uncle Lucius really did such an inconspicuous thing, then Neil needs to carefully weigh his relationship with the Malfoy family in the future.

Hesitating for a moment, Severus shook his head. "No." Only willing to answer Neil's question, Severus kept silent about other things.In his opinion, this is something that adults need to worry about, and children don't need to know too much.Feeling he had answered enough questions, Severus stood up. "Go and rest, I was tired all day yesterday."

Sensing that Severus was unwilling to say much and had already asked the question he wanted to know most, Neil shut his mouth wisely. "Okay, I'm tired too." Neil rubbed his eyes wearily as he said. "Father also worked hard all night, go and rest for a while, don't boil the potion." Neil also made an exception to control Severus once.He could imagine how tired Severus was last night, and what he needed most now was rest, not anything else.

Severus twitched his lips in a smirk.Enjoying Neil's concern, Severus gave up his original plan.Slightly nodding, Severus led Neil up to the bedroom area on the second floor...

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

After waking up, Neil packed himself up, rushed to Black's house, and came to Harry's room.At this moment, Harry just woke up from a yawn.

"Neil, were you alright yesterday?" Harry asked with concern the first time he saw Neil enter the door.He had experienced a thrilling night last night, so Harry was even more worried about what would happen to Neil.

"I'm fine." Neil shook his head. "And you?"

Harry's eyebrows were beaming, and he eloquently recounted the experience of last night.Last night, he, Ron, and Hermione accidentally rushed to the scene where the Dark Mark was issued, and were almost accidentally injured as suspects.Later, it was finally confirmed that it was Winky, the house-elf of the Crouch family, who issued the Dark Mark.Mr. Crouch was almost mad, and gave his house elf clothes without hesitation.

After hearing Harry's narration, Neil's eyes flickered. "You said it was Winky the house elf who issued the Dark Mark? He also stole your wand?" Neil always felt that something was wrong.How could a house-elf take the initiative to issue the Dark Mark?This is not in keeping with the habits of house elves!Neil keenly felt that there was something hidden about this matter.

"Yeah." Harry nodded.After hesitating for a while, Harry still decided to tell Neil about the dream he had a few days ago. "Two days ago, I had some nightmares." As he spoke, Harry told Neil about his dream that Peter and Voldemort seemed to have killed someone.

"What?!" Neil sat up straight suddenly, his eyes widening. "Why didn't you mention such a big thing before?!" Looking at Harry, Neil was a little angry.

Harry ruffled his hair irritably. "I didn't want you to worry before. But every time I dreamed about Voldemort, it was because he was near me, and the Dark Mark appeared on the World Cup field yesterday." Harry's expression was full of worry.

Seeing Harry's irritable look, Neil was reluctant to blame him.Everyone has their own privacy, and he also concealed many things from Harry, so he is not qualified to ask Harry to tell him everything.However, thinking of this, Neil still felt a little uncomfortable.

Saying this, Harry rubbed the scar on his head. "Every time I dream of Voldemort, my scar hurts a little. Last night, my scar hurt again." Speaking of this, Harry was a little depressed.Every time the scar hurts, Harry will feel depressed and irritable, and his mood is very affected.

Neil frowned tightly.Every time I dream, I can see Voldemort's behavior, and the scar still feels pain?Neil subconsciously felt that this was not a normal reaction.Could it have something to do with black magic?

Neil didn't tell Harry his guess.He needed to look up some information first, and then decide whether to tell Harry or not after he had some clues.With no grounds and no evidence, Neil didn't want to spoil Harry's mood at will.

"Did you tell Dad about this?" Neil asked.

Harry shook his head.He only had a headache the night before, and seeing Sirius' tired look, he gave up his plan to tell him about it immediately.Besides, in Harry's view, Sirius was not as mature as Neil to some extent, so telling him might as well tell Neil.

"Then don't tell Dad yet." Neil warned. "Let me help you find out what usually causes this situation. You know, Dad has been in poor health since he was released from prison, so don't let him worry about it for the time being."

After hearing Neil's words, Harry nodded in agreement.No one knows how bad Sirius's spirit is than Harry, who has been with him day and night throughout the summer vacation.Sometimes, when he was playing with Sirius, Sirius would usually go from hyperactive to drowsy in an instant.Seeing how poor the godfather's health was, Harry really didn't want to burden him any more.

……

On the other end, Malfoy and his son also had an unprecedented conversation.

Standing in front of Lucius, Draco's expression was unprecedentedly serious.With lowered eyes, Draco said in a low voice: "Father, why is mother so scared when she sees the Dark Mark today?" As soon as he came up, Draco asked directly.Facing his dearest father, he didn't want to be tactful, nor did he need to be tactful.At this time, he was just a good boy who worried about his mother. "We're Death Eaters, aren't we? Then, mother should be happy to see the Dark Mark?"

Regarding Draco's question, Lucius' eyes were complicated, and he didn't know whether he should be relieved or troubled.The relief is because of Draco's keen observation; the entanglement is because of Draco's simplicity.

"I freed Kee from being a Death Eater back then. Since then, many of the Death Eaters imprisoned in Azkaban have regarded our family as traitors. If the Dark Lord returns, he won't necessarily trust us. "Lucius perfunctory Draco as usual.He hopes that his son will live in the honeypot forever, happy and healthy.Under his protection, his son does not need to know suffering.

Draco frowned slightly. "Father said that before." This time, Draco was not as easy to be perfunctory as before. "You also said that when the time comes, you will have a way to convince the Dark Lord. If that's the case, why is Mom still afraid?" Draco took a step forward, staring at Lucius. "Father, I just want to know—" Draco took a breath, "If one day I became a Death Eater, would you be proud of it?" Draco held his head high, aggressive .

Lucius was speechless for a moment.For the first time, he stared at Draco carefully.He discovered that the son he had been protecting had grown up unknowingly without him noticing.And Draco's words also sounded the alarm in Lucius' heart.If one day, Draco really became a Death Eater, how would he react?

No!He can't accept it!He had already damaged the pride of the Malfoy family, and he would never allow that one day, his son would kneel at that man's feet so powerlessly, kissing his robe feet!Even if that man is the famous Dark Lord of Slytherin descent!

Looking at Draco's stubborn eyes, Lucius realized for the first time that maybe Draco could bear much more than he imagined.He had never thought before that Draco could guess the real position of the Malfoy family just by Narcissa's expression without any hint from him.

At this moment, Lucius had to admit that his education policy for Draco, perhaps, should be changed.Draco was not a flower in a greenhouse as he thought, but a young eagle eager to fly.What he should do is teach him to fly, not put him in a cage for fear of getting hurt.

After a long time, Lucius finally parted his lips lightly. "I hope that kind of situation will never happen." At this moment, Lucius' face was full of exhaustion.

Draco's pupils constricted.Guessing it was one thing, but Draco still had an unreal feeling after being confirmed by his father... He couldn't believe how muddled he had been living for so many years.If it wasn't for Neil's reminder, until now, he still hasn't figured out his family's true position.Neil's guess was confirmed, and Draco admired him, but he blamed himself for not being as good as his younger brother.Draco secretly made up his mind: From today on, he will no longer live under the wings of his parents!He must work hard to enrich himself in all aspects, surpass Neil, so that he can truly be worthy of the title of brother!He must constantly hone himself so that he can become a qualified Malfoy family patriarch in the future!

At this moment, the father and son of the Malfoy family talked by candlelight...

☆, cheeky

On this day, Neil finished his Potions class, lowered his head, and dawdled in front of Severus.

"What's the matter?" Severus said in a gentle tone that he was extremely satisfied with the effect of the potion that Neil had brewed today.Carefully appreciating the pure luster of the potion in the crystal bottle in his hand, Severus' eyes were full of admiration.Neil has completely inherited his potion talent, and he has an unparalleled sense of touch when brewing potions.Since his magic power recovered, any potion, in Neil's hands, only needs to be brewed once, and he can easily brew the finished product.From time to time, he would have some unique and innovative ideas, and optimize the brewing steps of the potion.There were steps that even Severus hadn't thought about before.

After discovering Neil's unique talents, Severus adjusted his teaching methods.He no longer handed over his little skills to Neil unreservedly as before, but only handed him the most basic brewing method, and let him explore the rest by himself.What he has to do now is to stimulate Neil's creativity, instead of blindly instilling it and killing his talent.

"Father, I have brewed the God-Yin Potion for Dad to drink." Neil said in a deep voice. "But why did my father's spirit improve a lot in the first few days, and then his spirit gradually deteriorated?" Neil was full of worries about Sirius' situation.Since he was released from prison, Sirius' health has been poor, and as he began to accept Sirius with a full heart, he became more and more concerned about his condition.

Hearing this, Severus frowned.He doesn't want to worry about Sirius.
