[HP] Father?dad!
Chapter 35
The fact that the problem may not be completely cured told Neil, but Madam Pomfrey didn't feel angry when she couldn't understand Sirius ruining her body.As for the relationship between Sirius and Neal, Madam Pomfrey didn't care much.Those who come to her are patients, and she is only responsible for curing the disease, and she does not take care of other matters.
Being reprimanded by Madam Pomfrey, he had no temper at all, and did not dare to speak back, so Sirius could only smile and laugh.In other words, when Sirius was a student, he was not afraid of the sky and the earth, but Madam Pomfrey.Every time Pomfrey got angry, he had no choice but to let himself be manipulated.
……
After leaving the medical wing, Neil stopped thinking about Sirius. Neil was still very relieved of Madam Pomfrey's medical skills, so when he heard Madam Pomfrey's affirmative words, Neil temporarily Let go of your worries about Sirius.
This afternoon, neither Neil nor Draco had classes, so they agreed to discuss black magic together this afternoon every week.
When he came to Draco's bedroom, Neil was not surprised, Draco was the only one in it.After school started, Draco was plump again. At this time, his cheeks had grown flesh again, and his body was not as weak as it looked during the summer vacation.From his body, there were no obvious traces of the sequelae of black magic, so the quality of Severus' potion could be seen.
Seeing Neil come in, Draco nodded with a rare gloomy expression.In front of Draco, Neil was not polite, and sat directly on the sofa opposite Draco.
"What's wrong?" Neil's expression was light.
Seeing Neil, who was much more shapely and energetic than a year ago, Draco looked a little uncomfortable. "Before, I talked with my father... He really didn't really follow the Dark Lord..." Draco's expression was a little hesitant.This incident had a great impact on him.For so many years, he has always thought that Slytherin and even the Malfoy family are loyal supporters of that lord; for so many years, he has always thought that that lord is very charming, if he is still alive, he can easily lead Slytherin to glory.However, not long ago, he learned from his father that everything was different from what he thought.It turned out that their family did not really follow the Dark Lord, but was coerced; it turned out that the Dark Lord was tyrannical and would only lead the Malfoy family and the Death Eaters to destruction, not glory.
Neil sat up straight all of a sudden, looking at Draco, Neil's eyes flickered. "Uncle Lucius told you all this?"
Draco nodded in confusion, wondering why Neil would ask such an obvious question.
"Have you ever wondered why Uncle Lucius changed his attitude and told you all this? How does telling you these things help the current situation?" Years of experience made Neil develop a Things, you will think twice and think clearly about every detail.
Draco nodded proudly. "Father said that he thinks I should be able to take on some of the responsibilities of the Malfoy family." Draco didn't take Neil's question seriously.In his opinion, Lucius would tell him about such an important matter as the true position of the Malfoy family, and he chose to tell him now only because he felt that he could take on this responsibility now.
"Then why would you tell me such a big thing?" Neil once again asked the crux of the problem.Draco would not have told himself such secret things without Lucius' acquiescence.
"You are my friend." Looking at Neil, Draco said seriously. "Besides, father and the dean should be on the same side." Although Lucius didn't say it clearly, it's not difficult to guess.If not, Lucius would not have allowed himself to tell Neil such a private matter.Since he agreed to tell Neil himself, it only shows that Neil can also know about this matter through other channels.
"Did Uncle Lucius say what kind of cruel methods the Dark Lord used back then?" Neil asked lightly as he tapped his fingers on the armrest.His mind was also spinning rapidly.Father and Uncle Lucius are on the same side?Does that mean they're both Death Eaters, but forced, or is the father simply on the side of Headmaster Dumbledore?
Draco shook his head. "Father didn't say so in detail." Because it was obvious that Lucius didn't want to talk about this issue, so Draco didn't ask too much at that time.Slytherins have always respected the privacy of others, even family members.
Now, the matter is further clarified, at least I have confirmed that my previous guesses are all correct.Following the Dark Lord, there is no future at all.Then, after that, no matter what happened, he could stand on Harry's side and fight against the Dark Lord for him.Perhaps in the future, there may be conflicts between his and Harry's positions, but their most basic goals are the same.Neither he nor Harry hoped that the dark lord, a human weapon, would make a comeback one day.
Thinking about it, Neal decided to put the issue aside for now.At least the resurrection of the Dark Lord is still gone, and he is just planning for a rainy day, taking certain preventive measures for possible variables in his long-term planning.For him, the most important thing now is to take the current path step by step in a down-to-earth manner, and improve his strength step by step.
"Then we will discuss black magic in your dormitory every week from now on?" Neil then asked his own question.Neil was really not very satisfied with the choice of this location. "Will it be unsafe? What if your roommate Zabini suddenly comes back?" Neil had to worry about such a question. He didn't want his and Draco's secret study of black magic to be discovered by other people. Known, even spread.
"Don't worry, Blaise will not come back." Draco had already reached an agreement with Blaise, and he was not worried about this issue.Moreover, Blaise is a playboy, he usually goes out to socialize during this time, wasting such a precious afternoon in the dormitory is definitely not a possible choice for Blaise. "However, if you have a better way and find a better place, that's fine." With that said, Draco picked up a book from the table, hinting that today's formal research can begin.
Neil shook his head. "I can only try." At this stage, he can't think of any good places for the time being.However, he could go back and ask Sirius this question.Sirius is so clear about the school, maybe he will have a solution.However, he had to think about how to ask, he didn't want Sirius to know that he secretly studied black magic.He could see clearly that the current Sirius would not accept black magic, and he did not want to have unnecessary disputes with Sirius.
Taking out the treasures of the Malfoy family that Draco gave him, Neil's expression became serious. "Now, let's start."...
☆, kitchen
By the time the black magic discussion class was over, it was already evening.After putting down the book, Neil felt his stomach growl as his tense nerves relaxed.
"Going to eat?" Neil tilted his head and asked Draco's suggestion.
After being asked by Neil, Draco felt that he was too hungry.Neil's theoretical analysis ability is indeed outstanding, and discussing the black magic of Draco with Neil only feels twice the result with half the effort.Although he would faintly feel a little entangled in his heart, Draco was relieved when he thought of the way his father and the dean got along.For the Malfoy family, purely theoretical research is not their advantage, but their advantage lies in the utilization and integration of resources.This is incomparable to the withdrawn dean and Neil who is not good at dealing with people.
"Okay, go to the auditorium?" Draco straightened his wizard robe and stood up.
Looking at the time, Neil was a little uncertain.At this time, I don't know if there is dinner. "Let's go and have a look first." Neil also stood up, and followed Draco out of the room.
Leaving the cellar and turning another corridor, Neil and Draco will soon arrive at the auditorium.At this time, three people they were very familiar with walked towards them-Harry, Hermione and Ron.
Ron was shaking with anger at this time, and was waving his arms and saying something excitedly, while Harry and Hermione comforted Ron with anxious expressions.
It wasn't until they got closer that the three noisy and absorbed people saw Neil and Draco on the opposite side. "Neil, Draco!" Hermione spoke first.When Ron heard Hermione's words, he noticed Neil and Draco in front of him, and the words in his mouth stopped abruptly.
"Neil, Draco." Harry and Hermione looked at each other with wry smiles.After saying hello to the two of them, the two of them followed closely.
"Hermione, Harry, Ron." Neil looked puzzled, "What's the matter?" Draco on the side nodded reservedly, as a greeting.
"No, nothing." Ron shook his head uncomfortably, as if he didn't want to say more.
Draco raised his eyebrows, and after a thought, he understood. "Is it because of the "Daily Prophet"?" This morning, the Daily Prophet published a news item, which mentioned that the new weird behavior of Arthur Weasley from the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Department embarrassed the Ministry of Magic again. . "It's just that, Weasley, your family is famous again this time." Although after making peace with the Gryffindor trio, Draco no longer targeted them, but facing Weasley, the relationship between his father The harshness caused Draco to habitually yawn.
Ron blushed when he heard Draco's words.But what Draco said was true, and it was much milder than what he said before, which made Ron, who was already a little upset, unable to refute.
"Are you going to eat now?" Hermione quickly smoothed things over, "But there is no food in the restaurant. Why are you here so late?"
"Already have food?" Hearing the bad news, Neil's face, which was already starving, instantly became a little gloomy. "Brother Draco, why don't we go to the kitchen?" Neil tilted his head, asking for Draco's opinion.
Draco was also a little upset by the news, although he didn't want to go to such a dirty and dirty place like the kitchen, but this was the only way, so Draco nodded reluctantly.
"You know where the kitchen is." Hermione's expression lit up all of a sudden. "I also need to go."
"Oh, no!" Harry moaned, "Hermione, you want to see the house-elves? Spare me."
Ron even spoke directly. "You guys go, I won't go." Ron was already in a bad mood, turned around, he ignored Hermione, and left directly.
"Ron, wait for me!" Winking secretly at Neil, Harry chased Ron away.Hermione was left alone.
What happened?Neil and Draco looked at each other in bewilderment.It's just that seeing Hermione's determined attitude, the two of them couldn't refuse, so they had to take Hermione to the kitchen together.
"Hermione, what are you going to do in the kitchen?" Neil asked curiously while walking on the road.After all, Hermione had just finished eating, and Neil really couldn't think of any reason for her to run towards the kitchen now.
Hearing Neil's question, Draco on the far left also inadvertently pricked up his ears.
"I want to see the working environment of the house elves." At this moment, Hermione's face was tense, full of fighting spirit, like a warrior ready to go.
Neil looked stunned.Inspecting the working environment of house-elves?What does it mean?Feeling a bad premonition in his heart, Neil shut his mouth and didn't ask any more questions.
"Is there anything to observe about the working environment of the house-elves?" On the other end, Draco's reaction was different. With a sneer, Draco dragged his tone, "Is it possible that you want to go and see if they are affected? abuse?"
Draco's words were completely joking, but who knows, Hermione nodded seriously and seriously.
Draco was speechless for a moment, and at this moment, the three of them had already reached the portrait with pears.
Neil stretched out his hand and scratched the big green pear.The pear squirmed and became a green doorknob.Opening the door, Neil walked into the kitchen first.
There were at least a hundred house-elves in the kitchen at this moment. Seeing someone coming in, they all stopped their work and curtseyed to the group of three with smiles all over their faces.On their bodies, they wear uniform tea towels bearing the Hogwarts crest.
"Two dinners, plus a glass of orange juice." Draco ordered habitually, frowned and found a table in disgust, and sat down.Neal followed Draco and sat beside him.Hermione on the side watched carefully the house-elf's groveling appearance, with strong anger appearing in her expression.
"Prepare me a bowl of chicken porridge, a boiled fish steak, and a bowl of creamy mushroom soup." Although Ke Neil wanted to eat delicious food, he had only drunk the potion that Severus prepared for him for half a month. Now, I still can't eat big fish and big meat to my heart's content.For the past half month, because he was at home, his recipes were specially formulated by Severus.After school started, his stomach had recovered well, and Severus relaxed his demands on him.However, Severus still told him to try to eat light food for half a month.
After listening to Neil's order, Draco looked at him strangely. "You eat so simple?" Draco couldn't understand Neil's thinking.
Neil pursed his lips, and replied evasively: "Father asked for it." He didn't want others to know his physical condition.
After hearing Neil's words, he understood that Neil didn't want to say more, so Draco thoughtfully stopped asking.
Sitting down, Neil looked around habitually, but accidentally found a house elf in the middle of the room with a face full of fear. When everyone else was busy preparing their food, it was quietly retreating to the corner. .After taking a closer look at the house elf and making sure that it was not in danger for the time being, Neil withdrew his gaze and concentrated on waiting for dinner.And Hermione kept patrolling the kitchen.
"What do you think Hermione wants to do?" Draco poked Neil on the side, and asked secretly in a low voice.
Neil shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.Even though his reasoning ability was strong, he couldn't guess the reason for Hermione's thoughtless behavior at this time.
Since they couldn't figure it out, Neil and Draco simply stopped thinking about it.After the food arrived, the two of them, who were tired and hungry for a long time in the afternoon, began to savor their dinner with relish.
Halfway through the meal, Hermione, who inspected the kitchen twice, returned angrily to the table and sat down. "It's too much! How can the school enslave house elves like this!"
What!enslavement!Neil and Draco were dumbfounded, looking at the angry Hermione, Neil twitched his mouth.
Hermione's words continued. "I've just asked! All the house-elves here work every day, with no holidays and no wages! It's horrible, it's too much! It's not fair!"
"Shh!" Neil raised his index finger by his mouth, looking at Hermione solemnly. "Keep your voice down!" Neil pointed to the elves next to him, "Look at their reactions!" At this moment, Neil had begun to understand Hermione's meaning a little bit.But in his opinion, it didn't mean anything other than that Hermione was a pampered young lady who hadn't suffered much since she was a child, and that she didn't know enough about the wizarding world.Not just house-elves, but even in the Muggle world, what real equality?
Draco on the side looked at Hermione like a monster, completely unable to understand what he said was horrible, excessive and unfair.As the heir of a native pure-blood family, even if Draco wanted to break his head, he would never think that anyone would think that wizards were abusing house elves and that elves should be freed.
After hearing Neil's words, Hermione turned her head sideways, and scanned the surrounding house elves, and found that they were all looking at her angrily.Not knowing why, Hermione was a little overwhelmed, but she still listened to Neil and closed her mouth.
Looking at the orange juice placed in front of her, Hermione didn't move, her expression was a bit uncomfortable, and she was unwilling to drink this kind of oppressed food.
After Neil and Draco finished their dinner, the three left the kitchen in silence.
Standing in the empty corridor, Neil spoke immediately, intercepting what Hermione wanted to say. "Father is in a hurry to find me. I want to go to the potion office first. If you have any questions, you two should have a good chat." After speaking, Neil turned and left without looking back.Even if he didn't listen to Hermione, Neil could understand what she wanted to say from the few words she said just now.Neil didn't want to waste time trying to appease the eldest lady's glassy heart, so he found a reason, and Neil directly threw Hermione to Draco to solve it.
Behind Neil, Hermione and Draco looked at each other.
He was very good at hiding his emotions, Draco and Hermione would believe his words, and never thought that he left first because he was angry.Seeing that Neil had also left, Hermione was quite depressed. "I'm going back to Gryffindor Tower first." She didn't intend to say anything to Draco now, he couldn't even convince Ron and Harry now, let alone hope to be able to convince him that life has always been good, and he was used to it Draco in the care of the house elves.Hermione was going to go back first, to sort out what she saw today, and then see what to do next.
Draco nodded modestly.Since Hermione didn't say any more, he was happy not to ask further questions.He wasn't too concerned about what Granger was up to. "Then I'll go back to Slytherin first."
After saying goodbye to each other, the two turned around and walked in two different directions.
☆、Defense Against the Dark Arts
Back at the Potions Office, Neil managed to let out a sigh of relief.He didn't understand how there could be such nosy people in this world.In his view, this society is a jungle where the weak prey on the strong, and those who fall behind will be beaten, just like before him, no one shelters, small and powerless, they can only be bullied, those strong and powerful adults can be fair and aboveboard They rob them of their food and accommodation, and those children who are born into wealth are born to be able to grow up in a honeypot and get whatever they want.fair?There is no fairness in this world. If there is fairness, why didn't good-hearted people help him and grandpa back then?If there is fairness, then why is there still abuse in government-built orphanages?Besides, the house-elf is under the control of the wizard, so it has to work for the wizard. What's more, those house-elves are not forced, and they do it very happily.He didn't understand why Hermione had that weird idea that the house-elves were being mistreated.However, he didn't care about this, and he didn't want to care.
"What's the matter?" Severus, who was sitting at the desk flipping through a book, asked with concern when he saw Neil enter the office with a rare emotion.
Neil took a deep breath and sat down on the sofa. "It's nothing, Father. It's just that Hermione's point of view disagrees."
Seeing it wasn't a big deal, Severus stopped asking. "By the way, where's Sirius?"
Neil's eyes lit up.Dad actually called Dad Sirius?This is simply incredible!His attention was attracted all of a sudden, and the little unhappiness just now was all of a sudden forgotten by him. "Madame Pomfrey detained Dad, saying that Dad would have to stay in her hospital wing for at least a week." Neil told Severus exactly what happened when he took Sirius to the hospital wing today. .
After hearing what Neil said, Severus nodded thoughtfully.
"Father, do you think Dad can get better soon?" Walking in front of Severus, Neil raised his head and looked at Severus pitifully. "When I think that it will take so long for Dad's body to get better, I am a little worried." Lowering his head slightly, Neil showed his worry in a timely manner.The relationship between Severus and Sirius had been bad before, and Neil didn't dare to intervene too much because of Severus' emotions.Now that Severus showed signs of softening, and the relationship between the two of them had improved, Neil naturally expressed his emotions appropriately, hoping to promote the relationship between the two of them.
Sure enough, after hearing Neil's worried words and seeing Neil's worried eyes, Severus hesitated.Of course he knew what was going on with Sirius' body, and he also knew that Madam Pomfrey hadn't told Neil the truth.Seeing Neil's worried expression, Severus felt a little unbearable.Forget it, let's help him, anyway, it's just a matter of potion, and the potion has already been developed by itself, and it only takes three or four days to brew it.After all, he is Neil's dad, and if his body cannot fully recover, Neil's mood will also be affected.
Thinking of this, Severus finally softened his heart and decided to intervene in this matter a little.Of course, Severus would never admit that he researched this subject specifically for Sirius. He just saw a dementor last year, and it took him three months to get this inspiration. Just study the subject.And Sirius just happened to be able to enjoy his fruits.
"I'll check it out." Severus said, gently ruffling Neal's hair. "Don't worry, Sirius will fully recover, and nothing will happen."
Neal had always trusted Severus.Hearing his father's assurance, Neil let go of the big rock in his heart - as long as his father made the promise, then his father's body will definitely be fine.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Wednesday afternoon, Neil's year's Defense Against the Dark Arts.Sitting upright in class, Neil flipped through the books on Defense Against the Dark Arts before class started.At the beginning of this semester, as Neil's performance in class became more and more excellent, he clearly felt that other people, especially Slytherins, had a big difference in their attitude towards him.In the past, everyone in Slytherin turned a blind eye to him, and some even glanced at him with bare eyes.But now, everyone in Slytherin gradually began to face him squarely.Walking on the road today, there was another Slytherin student of the same level that he had never dealt with before, who took the initiative to say hello to him.As for the people from the other three colleges, there was no obvious change in their attitude towards him.
This time, Dylan also took the initiative to choose the seat next to him for the first time after Potions class.Last year, although Dylan insisted on partnering with him in Potions class because of face, in other classes, after seeing Neil's poor magic skills, Dylan chose a seat away from Neil.Neil didn't feel nothing about this.However, in his opinion, there was nothing wrong with it, and Dylan didn't even want to partner with him in Potions class, which was already very kind. Of course, this didn't rule out the reason why the Potions class professor was his father.However, Neil doesn't care about this.
"Neil." Dylan put down the book with a natural expression.Because there was no class yet, Dylan found a topic and casually chatted with Neil. "It's a pity. It's rare for a school to hold such a large-scale event as the World Cup, but Dumbledore has set an age limit for it. Otherwise, I would like to try it too." Dylan shook his head regretfully.
Closing the book, Neil pulled out a smirk. "No way, who made Dumbledore the principal of this school." Most Slytherins don't like Dumbledore. Although Neil doesn't like Dumbledore, it's just that in Slytherin, he also likes Dumbledore. He will not deliberately defend Dumbledore and cause others to hate him.Whether Dumbledore is good or not is none of his business.
At this time, Professor Moody limped into the classroom, and Neil and Dylan paused the conversation to concentrate on preparing for class.
Professor Moody limped and walked to the edge of the podium with difficulty.On the podium, an upholstered seat has already been placed.Professor Moody sat on it, took out the roster from his arms, and began to roll the roll.
After waiting for the last person to be counted, Professor Moody put down the roster.
"Our class is Defense Against the Dark Arts. However, many people here may not even know what black art is, nor have they experienced it, let alone defend against it. In today's class, I will lead you to see Let’s take a look at the three most evil black magic in the wizarding world. They are called the Three Unforgivable Curses. Does any of you know what these three spells are?” Professor Moody’s fake eyes rolled, “S Mr. Nepe? I think you should be very clear about this issue." Professor Moody's face was wrinkled, and the scars were crumpled together, looking extremely hostile.
Neil pursed his lips and stood up.From Professor Moody's words, Neil could sense that he seemed very displeased with his father. "I know about the Imperius Curse and the Cruciatus Curse." In fact, Neil also knew about the Avada Kedavra Curse, but he deliberately kept his hands aside and didn't fully answer Professor Moody's question.
"Yeah, yeah." Professor Moody twisted his face and forced out an angry smile. "As expected, you know very well and answered very well." Professor Moody opened the drawer of the lectern and took out a glass bottle.There are three big black spiders in the glass bottle.Professor Moody reached into the bottle and grabbed one. "Now, let me demonstrate the Imperius Curse to you first-out of body!" The spider ran out of Professor Moody's hand, landed on the table, and tap danced non-stop.Everyone in the audience straightened their bodies, and the whole classroom was silent.
Neil had a straight face, his eyes tightened slightly.He couldn't bear the fact that one day, he might be controlled by others.Seeing the spider twirling around and doing movements that he would normally not be able to do, Neil's face trembled.
"See? This spider is completely under my control, I can make them do anything. Now—" Professor Moody grabbed the second spider, "It's the Cruciatus Curse. Be vigilant at all times!" Moody suddenly yelled Roar, some timid people below trembled in fright.And most of the Slytherins were unmoved, just staring at Professor Moody's hand without blinking.
"Get bigger quickly!" Professor Moody used a magnifying spell, "This way, you can see clearly." Pointing at the spider, Professor Moody softly said, "Crucio!"
Almost immediately, the spider began to twitch.Its limbs were tightly shrunk, and its body turned violently.Neil's face turned pale, but he was expressionless.Dylan's eyes widened, with fear and fanaticism flickering in them.Acheson, who was sitting behind them, was trembling, while Lang Man's expression collapsed, showing no fear.
"Extreme pain." Moody looked around with a hoarse voice, "Think about it, if such a curse falls on you, what will happen?" Professor Moody looked fierce, as if he really wanted to put this hypothesis into practice. practice.
Neil frowned.He could sense that Professor Moody was hostile to Slytherins.Looking at the painful and trembling spider in front of him, Neil had a complicated expression.Is this the effect of black magic?He must make himself stronger, and never allow himself the possibility of suffering from this kind of curse... However, if he has learned this kind of curse, it is right to use this kind of curse to deal with other people ?
"The last spell, does anyone know?" Throwing the spider away, Moody spoke again.As Neil expected, Dylan raised his hand.
"Mr. Parkinson." Moody pointed to Dylan.
Dylan stood up, speaking clearly. "Avada Kedavra."
"Yes...very good..." Moody bellowed, taking out the last spider. "Avada Kedavra!"
The struggling spider stopped moving for a moment.It didn't have the slightest scar on its body, but it didn't breathe.
Neil held his breath.This scene had a great impact on him.Although he already knew about the Three Unforgivable Curses before, it was a completely different feeling when he saw it.At this moment, Neil's heart was filled with shock.It turns out that in this world, there is such an art of killing. It will not cause the slightest damage to the human body, but it can easily destroy the human soul.What an evil kind of magic this is, people who are harmed by this kind of magic will lose their qualifications for reincarnation forever and ever...
At this moment, his heart was full of contradictions.Is it right or wrong to learn black magic by yourself?
☆, quarrel
Because they had agreed with Harry that each of them would take care of Sirius for a week, so after taking Sirius out and handing it over to Harry on Sunday, it was already the weekend of the second week when they saw him again.
In the distance, before Neil had reached the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Bruno, with his burglar eyes, had already seen Neil's figure.Wagging his tail happily, Bruno spread his hooves and rushed forward, sticking out his tongue, and circling around Neil.
Neil bent down and pampered Bruno's head.Seeing that Bruno's fur was smoother than last week, and his eyes were much brighter, Neil was relieved.
"Bruno, keep up!" Because it felt strange to call Sirius by his name or his father when he was in animal form, after discussing, Neil and Harry reached a consensus that when Sirius was in animal form, he would still call him Daddy. Call him Bruno.
Taking Bruno closer, Neil was a little surprised to find that Ron and Hermione were all there besides Harry.He frowned in displeasure, and Neil complained about Harry's self-assertion.First, the four of them appeared here, it was too obvious, he didn't want others to notice that he was openly interacting with Gryffindors; second, after the kitchen incident, Neil had intentionally or unintentionally avoided talking to Hercules for a while. Min met.He knew that with Hermione's character, since she was so angry at the time, there must be something to this matter, and Neal didn't want to get involved in this matter at all.
Feeling the thick air-conditioning from Neil beside him, Sirius slowed down and tilted his head.Having known Neil for so long, it was the first time he felt such big emotional ups and downs in Neil.What's going on here?Scratching Neil's feet worriedly, Sirius simply rolled on the grass, trying to make Neil smile.
Seeing Sirius worried about him, Neil squatted down, patted its head lovingly, rubbed it with it again, adjusted his expression, and walked in front of the Gryffindor trio.
Seeing Neil sitting on the cushion, Harry smiled at him.Just now, he was busy smoothing things out for Hermione and Ron, so he didn't notice that Neil had arrived.And Hermione and Ron, who sensed Neil's arrival, also turned off their lights temporarily angrily.
"Harry, Ron, Hermione." Neil casually greeted Sirius in his arms.It was rare for his son to take the initiative to get close to him, and Sirius couldn't be happier, rolling coquettishly in Neil's arms.
"Neil." Hermione nodded reluctantly with a stinky face.
"No, you can ask Neil to see if he agrees with your proposal." Ron blushed and threw the badge in his hand on the ground. "Anyway, I wouldn't spend so much money on this crap. If you don't believe me, ask Harry, ask Neil, and see if they agree with your proposal."
"Harry, what about you?" Hermione looked at Harry angrily, hoping to get his approval.
Harry was a little speechless, he really didn't want to agree to Harry's proposal against his will.So he just looked away.
Hermione's eyes were moist.Taking out a badge from the box in her arms, Hermione handed it to Neil.
Neil reached out to take the badge, and looked at it playfully. 'SPEW' I saw four letters printed on the badge.Neil had a bad feeling.Intuition told him that this should be Hermione's further move.
No
Being reprimanded by Madam Pomfrey, he had no temper at all, and did not dare to speak back, so Sirius could only smile and laugh.In other words, when Sirius was a student, he was not afraid of the sky and the earth, but Madam Pomfrey.Every time Pomfrey got angry, he had no choice but to let himself be manipulated.
……
After leaving the medical wing, Neil stopped thinking about Sirius. Neil was still very relieved of Madam Pomfrey's medical skills, so when he heard Madam Pomfrey's affirmative words, Neil temporarily Let go of your worries about Sirius.
This afternoon, neither Neil nor Draco had classes, so they agreed to discuss black magic together this afternoon every week.
When he came to Draco's bedroom, Neil was not surprised, Draco was the only one in it.After school started, Draco was plump again. At this time, his cheeks had grown flesh again, and his body was not as weak as it looked during the summer vacation.From his body, there were no obvious traces of the sequelae of black magic, so the quality of Severus' potion could be seen.
Seeing Neil come in, Draco nodded with a rare gloomy expression.In front of Draco, Neil was not polite, and sat directly on the sofa opposite Draco.
"What's wrong?" Neil's expression was light.
Seeing Neil, who was much more shapely and energetic than a year ago, Draco looked a little uncomfortable. "Before, I talked with my father... He really didn't really follow the Dark Lord..." Draco's expression was a little hesitant.This incident had a great impact on him.For so many years, he has always thought that Slytherin and even the Malfoy family are loyal supporters of that lord; for so many years, he has always thought that that lord is very charming, if he is still alive, he can easily lead Slytherin to glory.However, not long ago, he learned from his father that everything was different from what he thought.It turned out that their family did not really follow the Dark Lord, but was coerced; it turned out that the Dark Lord was tyrannical and would only lead the Malfoy family and the Death Eaters to destruction, not glory.
Neil sat up straight all of a sudden, looking at Draco, Neil's eyes flickered. "Uncle Lucius told you all this?"
Draco nodded in confusion, wondering why Neil would ask such an obvious question.
"Have you ever wondered why Uncle Lucius changed his attitude and told you all this? How does telling you these things help the current situation?" Years of experience made Neil develop a Things, you will think twice and think clearly about every detail.
Draco nodded proudly. "Father said that he thinks I should be able to take on some of the responsibilities of the Malfoy family." Draco didn't take Neil's question seriously.In his opinion, Lucius would tell him about such an important matter as the true position of the Malfoy family, and he chose to tell him now only because he felt that he could take on this responsibility now.
"Then why would you tell me such a big thing?" Neil once again asked the crux of the problem.Draco would not have told himself such secret things without Lucius' acquiescence.
"You are my friend." Looking at Neil, Draco said seriously. "Besides, father and the dean should be on the same side." Although Lucius didn't say it clearly, it's not difficult to guess.If not, Lucius would not have allowed himself to tell Neil such a private matter.Since he agreed to tell Neil himself, it only shows that Neil can also know about this matter through other channels.
"Did Uncle Lucius say what kind of cruel methods the Dark Lord used back then?" Neil asked lightly as he tapped his fingers on the armrest.His mind was also spinning rapidly.Father and Uncle Lucius are on the same side?Does that mean they're both Death Eaters, but forced, or is the father simply on the side of Headmaster Dumbledore?
Draco shook his head. "Father didn't say so in detail." Because it was obvious that Lucius didn't want to talk about this issue, so Draco didn't ask too much at that time.Slytherins have always respected the privacy of others, even family members.
Now, the matter is further clarified, at least I have confirmed that my previous guesses are all correct.Following the Dark Lord, there is no future at all.Then, after that, no matter what happened, he could stand on Harry's side and fight against the Dark Lord for him.Perhaps in the future, there may be conflicts between his and Harry's positions, but their most basic goals are the same.Neither he nor Harry hoped that the dark lord, a human weapon, would make a comeback one day.
Thinking about it, Neal decided to put the issue aside for now.At least the resurrection of the Dark Lord is still gone, and he is just planning for a rainy day, taking certain preventive measures for possible variables in his long-term planning.For him, the most important thing now is to take the current path step by step in a down-to-earth manner, and improve his strength step by step.
"Then we will discuss black magic in your dormitory every week from now on?" Neil then asked his own question.Neil was really not very satisfied with the choice of this location. "Will it be unsafe? What if your roommate Zabini suddenly comes back?" Neil had to worry about such a question. He didn't want his and Draco's secret study of black magic to be discovered by other people. Known, even spread.
"Don't worry, Blaise will not come back." Draco had already reached an agreement with Blaise, and he was not worried about this issue.Moreover, Blaise is a playboy, he usually goes out to socialize during this time, wasting such a precious afternoon in the dormitory is definitely not a possible choice for Blaise. "However, if you have a better way and find a better place, that's fine." With that said, Draco picked up a book from the table, hinting that today's formal research can begin.
Neil shook his head. "I can only try." At this stage, he can't think of any good places for the time being.However, he could go back and ask Sirius this question.Sirius is so clear about the school, maybe he will have a solution.However, he had to think about how to ask, he didn't want Sirius to know that he secretly studied black magic.He could see clearly that the current Sirius would not accept black magic, and he did not want to have unnecessary disputes with Sirius.
Taking out the treasures of the Malfoy family that Draco gave him, Neil's expression became serious. "Now, let's start."...
☆, kitchen
By the time the black magic discussion class was over, it was already evening.After putting down the book, Neil felt his stomach growl as his tense nerves relaxed.
"Going to eat?" Neil tilted his head and asked Draco's suggestion.
After being asked by Neil, Draco felt that he was too hungry.Neil's theoretical analysis ability is indeed outstanding, and discussing the black magic of Draco with Neil only feels twice the result with half the effort.Although he would faintly feel a little entangled in his heart, Draco was relieved when he thought of the way his father and the dean got along.For the Malfoy family, purely theoretical research is not their advantage, but their advantage lies in the utilization and integration of resources.This is incomparable to the withdrawn dean and Neil who is not good at dealing with people.
"Okay, go to the auditorium?" Draco straightened his wizard robe and stood up.
Looking at the time, Neil was a little uncertain.At this time, I don't know if there is dinner. "Let's go and have a look first." Neil also stood up, and followed Draco out of the room.
Leaving the cellar and turning another corridor, Neil and Draco will soon arrive at the auditorium.At this time, three people they were very familiar with walked towards them-Harry, Hermione and Ron.
Ron was shaking with anger at this time, and was waving his arms and saying something excitedly, while Harry and Hermione comforted Ron with anxious expressions.
It wasn't until they got closer that the three noisy and absorbed people saw Neil and Draco on the opposite side. "Neil, Draco!" Hermione spoke first.When Ron heard Hermione's words, he noticed Neil and Draco in front of him, and the words in his mouth stopped abruptly.
"Neil, Draco." Harry and Hermione looked at each other with wry smiles.After saying hello to the two of them, the two of them followed closely.
"Hermione, Harry, Ron." Neil looked puzzled, "What's the matter?" Draco on the side nodded reservedly, as a greeting.
"No, nothing." Ron shook his head uncomfortably, as if he didn't want to say more.
Draco raised his eyebrows, and after a thought, he understood. "Is it because of the "Daily Prophet"?" This morning, the Daily Prophet published a news item, which mentioned that the new weird behavior of Arthur Weasley from the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Department embarrassed the Ministry of Magic again. . "It's just that, Weasley, your family is famous again this time." Although after making peace with the Gryffindor trio, Draco no longer targeted them, but facing Weasley, the relationship between his father The harshness caused Draco to habitually yawn.
Ron blushed when he heard Draco's words.But what Draco said was true, and it was much milder than what he said before, which made Ron, who was already a little upset, unable to refute.
"Are you going to eat now?" Hermione quickly smoothed things over, "But there is no food in the restaurant. Why are you here so late?"
"Already have food?" Hearing the bad news, Neil's face, which was already starving, instantly became a little gloomy. "Brother Draco, why don't we go to the kitchen?" Neil tilted his head, asking for Draco's opinion.
Draco was also a little upset by the news, although he didn't want to go to such a dirty and dirty place like the kitchen, but this was the only way, so Draco nodded reluctantly.
"You know where the kitchen is." Hermione's expression lit up all of a sudden. "I also need to go."
"Oh, no!" Harry moaned, "Hermione, you want to see the house-elves? Spare me."
Ron even spoke directly. "You guys go, I won't go." Ron was already in a bad mood, turned around, he ignored Hermione, and left directly.
"Ron, wait for me!" Winking secretly at Neil, Harry chased Ron away.Hermione was left alone.
What happened?Neil and Draco looked at each other in bewilderment.It's just that seeing Hermione's determined attitude, the two of them couldn't refuse, so they had to take Hermione to the kitchen together.
"Hermione, what are you going to do in the kitchen?" Neil asked curiously while walking on the road.After all, Hermione had just finished eating, and Neil really couldn't think of any reason for her to run towards the kitchen now.
Hearing Neil's question, Draco on the far left also inadvertently pricked up his ears.
"I want to see the working environment of the house elves." At this moment, Hermione's face was tense, full of fighting spirit, like a warrior ready to go.
Neil looked stunned.Inspecting the working environment of house-elves?What does it mean?Feeling a bad premonition in his heart, Neil shut his mouth and didn't ask any more questions.
"Is there anything to observe about the working environment of the house-elves?" On the other end, Draco's reaction was different. With a sneer, Draco dragged his tone, "Is it possible that you want to go and see if they are affected? abuse?"
Draco's words were completely joking, but who knows, Hermione nodded seriously and seriously.
Draco was speechless for a moment, and at this moment, the three of them had already reached the portrait with pears.
Neil stretched out his hand and scratched the big green pear.The pear squirmed and became a green doorknob.Opening the door, Neil walked into the kitchen first.
There were at least a hundred house-elves in the kitchen at this moment. Seeing someone coming in, they all stopped their work and curtseyed to the group of three with smiles all over their faces.On their bodies, they wear uniform tea towels bearing the Hogwarts crest.
"Two dinners, plus a glass of orange juice." Draco ordered habitually, frowned and found a table in disgust, and sat down.Neal followed Draco and sat beside him.Hermione on the side watched carefully the house-elf's groveling appearance, with strong anger appearing in her expression.
"Prepare me a bowl of chicken porridge, a boiled fish steak, and a bowl of creamy mushroom soup." Although Ke Neil wanted to eat delicious food, he had only drunk the potion that Severus prepared for him for half a month. Now, I still can't eat big fish and big meat to my heart's content.For the past half month, because he was at home, his recipes were specially formulated by Severus.After school started, his stomach had recovered well, and Severus relaxed his demands on him.However, Severus still told him to try to eat light food for half a month.
After listening to Neil's order, Draco looked at him strangely. "You eat so simple?" Draco couldn't understand Neil's thinking.
Neil pursed his lips, and replied evasively: "Father asked for it." He didn't want others to know his physical condition.
After hearing Neil's words, he understood that Neil didn't want to say more, so Draco thoughtfully stopped asking.
Sitting down, Neil looked around habitually, but accidentally found a house elf in the middle of the room with a face full of fear. When everyone else was busy preparing their food, it was quietly retreating to the corner. .After taking a closer look at the house elf and making sure that it was not in danger for the time being, Neil withdrew his gaze and concentrated on waiting for dinner.And Hermione kept patrolling the kitchen.
"What do you think Hermione wants to do?" Draco poked Neil on the side, and asked secretly in a low voice.
Neil shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.Even though his reasoning ability was strong, he couldn't guess the reason for Hermione's thoughtless behavior at this time.
Since they couldn't figure it out, Neil and Draco simply stopped thinking about it.After the food arrived, the two of them, who were tired and hungry for a long time in the afternoon, began to savor their dinner with relish.
Halfway through the meal, Hermione, who inspected the kitchen twice, returned angrily to the table and sat down. "It's too much! How can the school enslave house elves like this!"
What!enslavement!Neil and Draco were dumbfounded, looking at the angry Hermione, Neil twitched his mouth.
Hermione's words continued. "I've just asked! All the house-elves here work every day, with no holidays and no wages! It's horrible, it's too much! It's not fair!"
"Shh!" Neil raised his index finger by his mouth, looking at Hermione solemnly. "Keep your voice down!" Neil pointed to the elves next to him, "Look at their reactions!" At this moment, Neil had begun to understand Hermione's meaning a little bit.But in his opinion, it didn't mean anything other than that Hermione was a pampered young lady who hadn't suffered much since she was a child, and that she didn't know enough about the wizarding world.Not just house-elves, but even in the Muggle world, what real equality?
Draco on the side looked at Hermione like a monster, completely unable to understand what he said was horrible, excessive and unfair.As the heir of a native pure-blood family, even if Draco wanted to break his head, he would never think that anyone would think that wizards were abusing house elves and that elves should be freed.
After hearing Neil's words, Hermione turned her head sideways, and scanned the surrounding house elves, and found that they were all looking at her angrily.Not knowing why, Hermione was a little overwhelmed, but she still listened to Neil and closed her mouth.
Looking at the orange juice placed in front of her, Hermione didn't move, her expression was a bit uncomfortable, and she was unwilling to drink this kind of oppressed food.
After Neil and Draco finished their dinner, the three left the kitchen in silence.
Standing in the empty corridor, Neil spoke immediately, intercepting what Hermione wanted to say. "Father is in a hurry to find me. I want to go to the potion office first. If you have any questions, you two should have a good chat." After speaking, Neil turned and left without looking back.Even if he didn't listen to Hermione, Neil could understand what she wanted to say from the few words she said just now.Neil didn't want to waste time trying to appease the eldest lady's glassy heart, so he found a reason, and Neil directly threw Hermione to Draco to solve it.
Behind Neil, Hermione and Draco looked at each other.
He was very good at hiding his emotions, Draco and Hermione would believe his words, and never thought that he left first because he was angry.Seeing that Neil had also left, Hermione was quite depressed. "I'm going back to Gryffindor Tower first." She didn't intend to say anything to Draco now, he couldn't even convince Ron and Harry now, let alone hope to be able to convince him that life has always been good, and he was used to it Draco in the care of the house elves.Hermione was going to go back first, to sort out what she saw today, and then see what to do next.
Draco nodded modestly.Since Hermione didn't say any more, he was happy not to ask further questions.He wasn't too concerned about what Granger was up to. "Then I'll go back to Slytherin first."
After saying goodbye to each other, the two turned around and walked in two different directions.
☆、Defense Against the Dark Arts
Back at the Potions Office, Neil managed to let out a sigh of relief.He didn't understand how there could be such nosy people in this world.In his view, this society is a jungle where the weak prey on the strong, and those who fall behind will be beaten, just like before him, no one shelters, small and powerless, they can only be bullied, those strong and powerful adults can be fair and aboveboard They rob them of their food and accommodation, and those children who are born into wealth are born to be able to grow up in a honeypot and get whatever they want.fair?There is no fairness in this world. If there is fairness, why didn't good-hearted people help him and grandpa back then?If there is fairness, then why is there still abuse in government-built orphanages?Besides, the house-elf is under the control of the wizard, so it has to work for the wizard. What's more, those house-elves are not forced, and they do it very happily.He didn't understand why Hermione had that weird idea that the house-elves were being mistreated.However, he didn't care about this, and he didn't want to care.
"What's the matter?" Severus, who was sitting at the desk flipping through a book, asked with concern when he saw Neil enter the office with a rare emotion.
Neil took a deep breath and sat down on the sofa. "It's nothing, Father. It's just that Hermione's point of view disagrees."
Seeing it wasn't a big deal, Severus stopped asking. "By the way, where's Sirius?"
Neil's eyes lit up.Dad actually called Dad Sirius?This is simply incredible!His attention was attracted all of a sudden, and the little unhappiness just now was all of a sudden forgotten by him. "Madame Pomfrey detained Dad, saying that Dad would have to stay in her hospital wing for at least a week." Neil told Severus exactly what happened when he took Sirius to the hospital wing today. .
After hearing what Neil said, Severus nodded thoughtfully.
"Father, do you think Dad can get better soon?" Walking in front of Severus, Neil raised his head and looked at Severus pitifully. "When I think that it will take so long for Dad's body to get better, I am a little worried." Lowering his head slightly, Neil showed his worry in a timely manner.The relationship between Severus and Sirius had been bad before, and Neil didn't dare to intervene too much because of Severus' emotions.Now that Severus showed signs of softening, and the relationship between the two of them had improved, Neil naturally expressed his emotions appropriately, hoping to promote the relationship between the two of them.
Sure enough, after hearing Neil's worried words and seeing Neil's worried eyes, Severus hesitated.Of course he knew what was going on with Sirius' body, and he also knew that Madam Pomfrey hadn't told Neil the truth.Seeing Neil's worried expression, Severus felt a little unbearable.Forget it, let's help him, anyway, it's just a matter of potion, and the potion has already been developed by itself, and it only takes three or four days to brew it.After all, he is Neil's dad, and if his body cannot fully recover, Neil's mood will also be affected.
Thinking of this, Severus finally softened his heart and decided to intervene in this matter a little.Of course, Severus would never admit that he researched this subject specifically for Sirius. He just saw a dementor last year, and it took him three months to get this inspiration. Just study the subject.And Sirius just happened to be able to enjoy his fruits.
"I'll check it out." Severus said, gently ruffling Neal's hair. "Don't worry, Sirius will fully recover, and nothing will happen."
Neal had always trusted Severus.Hearing his father's assurance, Neil let go of the big rock in his heart - as long as his father made the promise, then his father's body will definitely be fine.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Wednesday afternoon, Neil's year's Defense Against the Dark Arts.Sitting upright in class, Neil flipped through the books on Defense Against the Dark Arts before class started.At the beginning of this semester, as Neil's performance in class became more and more excellent, he clearly felt that other people, especially Slytherins, had a big difference in their attitude towards him.In the past, everyone in Slytherin turned a blind eye to him, and some even glanced at him with bare eyes.But now, everyone in Slytherin gradually began to face him squarely.Walking on the road today, there was another Slytherin student of the same level that he had never dealt with before, who took the initiative to say hello to him.As for the people from the other three colleges, there was no obvious change in their attitude towards him.
This time, Dylan also took the initiative to choose the seat next to him for the first time after Potions class.Last year, although Dylan insisted on partnering with him in Potions class because of face, in other classes, after seeing Neil's poor magic skills, Dylan chose a seat away from Neil.Neil didn't feel nothing about this.However, in his opinion, there was nothing wrong with it, and Dylan didn't even want to partner with him in Potions class, which was already very kind. Of course, this didn't rule out the reason why the Potions class professor was his father.However, Neil doesn't care about this.
"Neil." Dylan put down the book with a natural expression.Because there was no class yet, Dylan found a topic and casually chatted with Neil. "It's a pity. It's rare for a school to hold such a large-scale event as the World Cup, but Dumbledore has set an age limit for it. Otherwise, I would like to try it too." Dylan shook his head regretfully.
Closing the book, Neil pulled out a smirk. "No way, who made Dumbledore the principal of this school." Most Slytherins don't like Dumbledore. Although Neil doesn't like Dumbledore, it's just that in Slytherin, he also likes Dumbledore. He will not deliberately defend Dumbledore and cause others to hate him.Whether Dumbledore is good or not is none of his business.
At this time, Professor Moody limped into the classroom, and Neil and Dylan paused the conversation to concentrate on preparing for class.
Professor Moody limped and walked to the edge of the podium with difficulty.On the podium, an upholstered seat has already been placed.Professor Moody sat on it, took out the roster from his arms, and began to roll the roll.
After waiting for the last person to be counted, Professor Moody put down the roster.
"Our class is Defense Against the Dark Arts. However, many people here may not even know what black art is, nor have they experienced it, let alone defend against it. In today's class, I will lead you to see Let’s take a look at the three most evil black magic in the wizarding world. They are called the Three Unforgivable Curses. Does any of you know what these three spells are?” Professor Moody’s fake eyes rolled, “S Mr. Nepe? I think you should be very clear about this issue." Professor Moody's face was wrinkled, and the scars were crumpled together, looking extremely hostile.
Neil pursed his lips and stood up.From Professor Moody's words, Neil could sense that he seemed very displeased with his father. "I know about the Imperius Curse and the Cruciatus Curse." In fact, Neil also knew about the Avada Kedavra Curse, but he deliberately kept his hands aside and didn't fully answer Professor Moody's question.
"Yeah, yeah." Professor Moody twisted his face and forced out an angry smile. "As expected, you know very well and answered very well." Professor Moody opened the drawer of the lectern and took out a glass bottle.There are three big black spiders in the glass bottle.Professor Moody reached into the bottle and grabbed one. "Now, let me demonstrate the Imperius Curse to you first-out of body!" The spider ran out of Professor Moody's hand, landed on the table, and tap danced non-stop.Everyone in the audience straightened their bodies, and the whole classroom was silent.
Neil had a straight face, his eyes tightened slightly.He couldn't bear the fact that one day, he might be controlled by others.Seeing the spider twirling around and doing movements that he would normally not be able to do, Neil's face trembled.
"See? This spider is completely under my control, I can make them do anything. Now—" Professor Moody grabbed the second spider, "It's the Cruciatus Curse. Be vigilant at all times!" Moody suddenly yelled Roar, some timid people below trembled in fright.And most of the Slytherins were unmoved, just staring at Professor Moody's hand without blinking.
"Get bigger quickly!" Professor Moody used a magnifying spell, "This way, you can see clearly." Pointing at the spider, Professor Moody softly said, "Crucio!"
Almost immediately, the spider began to twitch.Its limbs were tightly shrunk, and its body turned violently.Neil's face turned pale, but he was expressionless.Dylan's eyes widened, with fear and fanaticism flickering in them.Acheson, who was sitting behind them, was trembling, while Lang Man's expression collapsed, showing no fear.
"Extreme pain." Moody looked around with a hoarse voice, "Think about it, if such a curse falls on you, what will happen?" Professor Moody looked fierce, as if he really wanted to put this hypothesis into practice. practice.
Neil frowned.He could sense that Professor Moody was hostile to Slytherins.Looking at the painful and trembling spider in front of him, Neil had a complicated expression.Is this the effect of black magic?He must make himself stronger, and never allow himself the possibility of suffering from this kind of curse... However, if he has learned this kind of curse, it is right to use this kind of curse to deal with other people ?
"The last spell, does anyone know?" Throwing the spider away, Moody spoke again.As Neil expected, Dylan raised his hand.
"Mr. Parkinson." Moody pointed to Dylan.
Dylan stood up, speaking clearly. "Avada Kedavra."
"Yes...very good..." Moody bellowed, taking out the last spider. "Avada Kedavra!"
The struggling spider stopped moving for a moment.It didn't have the slightest scar on its body, but it didn't breathe.
Neil held his breath.This scene had a great impact on him.Although he already knew about the Three Unforgivable Curses before, it was a completely different feeling when he saw it.At this moment, Neil's heart was filled with shock.It turns out that in this world, there is such an art of killing. It will not cause the slightest damage to the human body, but it can easily destroy the human soul.What an evil kind of magic this is, people who are harmed by this kind of magic will lose their qualifications for reincarnation forever and ever...
At this moment, his heart was full of contradictions.Is it right or wrong to learn black magic by yourself?
☆, quarrel
Because they had agreed with Harry that each of them would take care of Sirius for a week, so after taking Sirius out and handing it over to Harry on Sunday, it was already the weekend of the second week when they saw him again.
In the distance, before Neil had reached the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Bruno, with his burglar eyes, had already seen Neil's figure.Wagging his tail happily, Bruno spread his hooves and rushed forward, sticking out his tongue, and circling around Neil.
Neil bent down and pampered Bruno's head.Seeing that Bruno's fur was smoother than last week, and his eyes were much brighter, Neil was relieved.
"Bruno, keep up!" Because it felt strange to call Sirius by his name or his father when he was in animal form, after discussing, Neil and Harry reached a consensus that when Sirius was in animal form, he would still call him Daddy. Call him Bruno.
Taking Bruno closer, Neil was a little surprised to find that Ron and Hermione were all there besides Harry.He frowned in displeasure, and Neil complained about Harry's self-assertion.First, the four of them appeared here, it was too obvious, he didn't want others to notice that he was openly interacting with Gryffindors; second, after the kitchen incident, Neil had intentionally or unintentionally avoided talking to Hercules for a while. Min met.He knew that with Hermione's character, since she was so angry at the time, there must be something to this matter, and Neal didn't want to get involved in this matter at all.
Feeling the thick air-conditioning from Neil beside him, Sirius slowed down and tilted his head.Having known Neil for so long, it was the first time he felt such big emotional ups and downs in Neil.What's going on here?Scratching Neil's feet worriedly, Sirius simply rolled on the grass, trying to make Neil smile.
Seeing Sirius worried about him, Neil squatted down, patted its head lovingly, rubbed it with it again, adjusted his expression, and walked in front of the Gryffindor trio.
Seeing Neil sitting on the cushion, Harry smiled at him.Just now, he was busy smoothing things out for Hermione and Ron, so he didn't notice that Neil had arrived.And Hermione and Ron, who sensed Neil's arrival, also turned off their lights temporarily angrily.
"Harry, Ron, Hermione." Neil casually greeted Sirius in his arms.It was rare for his son to take the initiative to get close to him, and Sirius couldn't be happier, rolling coquettishly in Neil's arms.
"Neil." Hermione nodded reluctantly with a stinky face.
"No, you can ask Neil to see if he agrees with your proposal." Ron blushed and threw the badge in his hand on the ground. "Anyway, I wouldn't spend so much money on this crap. If you don't believe me, ask Harry, ask Neil, and see if they agree with your proposal."
"Harry, what about you?" Hermione looked at Harry angrily, hoping to get his approval.
Harry was a little speechless, he really didn't want to agree to Harry's proposal against his will.So he just looked away.
Hermione's eyes were moist.Taking out a badge from the box in her arms, Hermione handed it to Neil.
Neil reached out to take the badge, and looked at it playfully. 'SPEW' I saw four letters printed on the badge.Neil had a bad feeling.Intuition told him that this should be Hermione's further move.
