[HP] Father?dad!

Noticing that Neil's expression darkened, Hermione introduced excitedly: "Neil, this is the House-Elf Rights Promotion Association I established. The purpose of this association is to ensure that house-elves can get a reasonable wage and a good job." Work environment. I can't believe that house-elf status goes back centuries and no one has done anything about it for so long!" Hermione waved her hands in righteous indignation. "I originally wanted to name the association a movement to stop cruelty to our magical creature friends and improve their legal status, but considering the name was too long, I used it as a slogan. The long-term goal of the association I envisioned was to replace Elf can change the law against the use of wands, and I hope to fight for a house-elf to enter the Department of Management and Control of Magical Beasts in the future, so as to further improve the status of house-elves. Of course, I have told Harry and Ron before After that, our first step is to develop members. You only need to pay two silver coins to buy a badge to become a member. With the start-up fund, we can start the next series of operations. Neil, you Will support me, right?" Hermione spoke like a machine gun, and quickly finished her point of view.

Neil lowered his head, his bangs covered half of his face, making his expression hidden in the shadows.Seeing that Neil didn't speak for a long time, Hermione was a little impatient. "Neil, what do you think?" Hermione asked eagerly.Neither Harry nor Ron supported her proposal now, and she desperately hoped to get Neil's approval.

Neil finally raised his head.Hermione, who was sitting across from him, was surprised to find that Neil's eyes were a little red.Neil's lips were pursed tightly, his face was stretched into a stiff line, it could be seen that he was in extreme anger.Hermione was at a loss, he didn't understand what happened to the always gentle Neil.

Neil pulled out a malicious smirk and threw the badge on the ground. "The Association for the Promotion of House-Elf Rights, ha, what a joke! I'm afraid only a young lady like you who has too much time to spare and doesn't know how to suffer can come up with such a worthless thing! It's just that there is no wages, and no holidays. If you really have the leisurely mind, why don't you show mercy and give your exuberant kindness to your peers? You know, even in London, there are many children your age who can't eat and have no place to live, don't Speaking of the working environment, even the basic living environment cannot be guaranteed. You don’t care about these, but you manage house elves that are not of the same species as yourself? Let them use magic wands? Have you checked how many wizards were sacrificed back then? Blood is the effort that makes house-elves become wizards?! Then how much time did it take to tame the minds of house-elves?! House-elves are already powerful in magic. If you really liberate house-elves, let them have the power to use The right to the wand, you can guarantee that they will not retaliate against the wizards, and find no way to turn the wizards into their slaves!" At the end, Neil even stood up excitedly.Looking at Hermione, his eyes were colder than ever before.After kicking hard on the badge, Neil turned his head and strode away.

Hermione burst into tears. She didn't understand why Neil, who had always had a good relationship with her in the past, had such a big reaction, and why he scolded her so relentlessly.Thinking back to Neil's words blankly, Hermione couldn't believe it.There are still many of her peers in London who can't eat and have no place to live?is this real?What did Neal mean when he said taming the house-elves cost a lot of wizards?

Seeing Neil walking away angrily, Harry had no time to think, and hurriedly chased after him.Sirius was also stunned by Neil's sudden anger.After reacting, it hoofed, followed Harry, and ran forward.

The rest of Ron looked at this side and then at the other side, shaking his body.Neil looked exactly like Professor Snape when he was angry!It's really terrible!Ai Ai took two steps forward, Ron looked worriedly at the stunned Hermione, but didn't know what to say.

Harry ran fast, and finally caught Neil who was rushing forward close to Hagrid's cabin.

"Neil, wait for me!" Seeing that Neil wanted to rush forward, Harry simply hugged him from behind.Neil broke free a few times, but Harry was a year or two older than Neil, a head taller, and much stronger in body, so Neil couldn't break free at all.Upon discovering this fact, Neil gave up struggling.After walking for a while, Neil's emotions also managed to calm down a lot.

Seeing this, Sirius who was following behind slowed down his pace, minimized his sense of presence, and swam forward cautiously.Although, he wanted to go forward and hug Neil to comfort him, but he was not an idiot. After getting along for a while, he could clearly feel Neil's slight rejection of himself and his trust in Harry.Although Neil is very kind to himself, no matter what he has on his mind, he will never tell himself. Whenever he wants to care about his past or life, he will try to avoid it. He is not sure. If he steps forward at this time, Neil Will I say nothing again.Therefore, he subconsciously stepped lightly, wanting to eavesdrop on the conversation between Neil and Harry.

"Don't be angry, Neil." Harry patted Neil on the head, and comforted him. "Hermione was just too well protected by her parents. She didn't do it on purpose." Although he didn't fully understand why Neil was angry, from Neil's words, Harry somehow knew that Neil was thinking of his past experience.He didn't know what to say, but Harry felt a little distressed seeing Neil's angry look.He could understand why Neil was angry.Even the life of a house-elf was not stingy about paradise to the old Neil.When Neil was a child, he got up early every day and stayed late every day, and he might not be able to guarantee enough food and clothing, and rest was an impossible luxury for him.Hermione's behavior today, in Neil's opinion, is undoubtedly the idleness of the rich lady - looking for trouble for nothing.However, he didn't understand why Neil, who had always been so good at controlling his emotions, would be so excited today.

Raising his hand, Neil covered his face. "Harry..." Neil sighed wearily.Only in front of Harry can Neil speak his mind without burden. "Why is this world so unfair? Why is Hermione able to live comfortably and have her parents care and love since she was a child? Why can Draco live like a little prince since he was a child, wearing the best clothes and eating the most expensive food? Why did you grow up But I want to help my aunt's family with housework like a house elf, but I still can't eat and clothe like a house elf? Why did I have to wander around and beg on the street since I was a child? Why, why? This world is simply too bad It's fair..." Neil murmured, his voice getting smaller and smaller. "Harry, tell me—if grandpa and I could have met a kind-hearted person like Hermione to help us, wouldn't grandpa's body have been dragged down? If grandpa and I had met someone like Hermione If the same kind people help us, grandpa won’t leave so early? If grandpa and I could have met kind people like Hermione to help us, wouldn’t grandpa not be on that cold winter night, Died in my arms?!" Turning around, Neil looked at Harry with a blank expression and ethereal eyes.

☆, quarrel ([-])

Harry's heart skipped a beat.This was the first time he had heard the specific details of the death of Grandpa Nilti Jeff. Before, he had never mentioned this issue in a word, and kept it secret.

"That winter, it was so cold, so cold... My grandfather and I could only cuddle up to each other in the bridge hole outside... Even if we didn't meet a kind person like Hermione, even if someone just gave us another quilt That's okay... Is it true that grandpa will not die so early... I have already dropped out of school, and I have already taken grandpa to the hospital to line up... The doctor clearly said that grandpa's illness is not a sudden illness... Why does grandpa stay for a few days? I didn’t even stick to it... That night, it was Christmas Eve, I sang songs to my grandpa all night... I was so happy... Why, just in the blink of an eye, grandpa disappeared? You know, how scared I was at the time How scared are you...Obviously, he was still warm when he fell asleep, why did Grandpa turn cold in the middle of the night...He just left, walking in my arms, and from then on, he never cared I..." Leaning on Harry's shoulder, Neil burst into tears.Over the years, the death of old Jeff has always been an untouchable wound in Neil's heart. Neil has never forgotten the coldness and despair of that night.However, since then, Neil has been busy trying to live, and he dare not think about such things that will only arouse his fragile emotions. After meeting Severus, Neil fell into the quagmire of insufficient magic power , the weakness in strength made Neil dare not slack off.It was not easy for life to stabilize later. When the second grade started, first he met Ye Qi, and then he was stimulated by Hermione. This series of events completely aroused the unhealed wound in Neil's heart.

Patting Neil on the back, Harry felt his heart ache.This was the first time he heard Neil tell the ins and outs of Grandpa Jeff's death.Harry couldn't imagine how little Neil survived that winter.At this moment, Harry felt that any language was so pale.Patting Neil on the back again and again, Harry kept repeating: "It's okay...everything is over...it will get better..."

Sirius on the side had turned into a sculpture. Neil's words pierced his heart like a sharp sword, and he couldn't breathe at all.Every time, when he felt that his sympathy and guilt due to Neil had reached the limit, he would find that the mistakes he made back then were far more than that... Sirius only felt that the life that Neil talked about had reached its limit. I dare not even think about it... A little boy who is only nine years old doesn't even have a house that can shelter from the rain... A little boy who is only nine years old has to accept the death of his only relative in his arms... What a cruel fact!And his Neil, the little Neil he wanted to hold in his hand, the little Neil who couldn't even bear to touch him, had experienced such cruel things at such a young age... and his godson, He couldn't even eat enough to eat since he was a child, and he didn't live as well as a house elf... There was never a time when Sirius hated himself so much as now-why, he would trust Peter back then!Why was I so reckless and credulous back then!If it wasn't for him, James and Lily wouldn't have died either!Harry won't be an orphan either!Neil would never live a life worse than that of an orphan!

Seeing Harry comforting Neil softly, Sirius stumbled, turned and ran away.Now he can't face Neil, and he can't face Harry... He needs a place to be quiet... Handing Neil to Harry, he is also very relieved, he knows that he is now in front of Neil It will only embarrass him... He will never want his father, who has not been fully recognized by him, to know his most intimate things... Yes, although Sirius is a bit careless, he is not stupid. From Neil's In his performance, he could clearly distinguish the difference between how he treats himself and Severus...I don't blame Neil, and I don't dare to blame Neil...I deserve these things...He made Neil hurt Neil didn't hate him, he already thanked Merlin...

Sirius only felt that his mind was a mess.In a trance, he didn't even notice where he ran to...

On the other end, Harry continued to comfort Neil. The two of them didn't even notice that a dog had come and gone in this field.

After all, Neil's emotional control ability is strong, and it didn't take long for him to slowly stop sobbing.Looking up from Harry's arms, Neil, who realized what stupid thing he had done just now, felt very embarrassed.Wiping his face with his hands, Neil gently broke free from Harry's arms.Feeling that Neil had calmed down, Harry let go of his hand.

"I'm just... a little excited for a while..." Neil, who had calmed down, felt a little embarrassed about his agitation just now. He never thought that his emotions would have such a big ups and downs.At this moment, Neil was full of annoyance.He just felt that he had failed too much, and had such a big reaction when he encountered such a trivial matter... No, after returning, he must set some punishments for himself... Next time, he can't show his emotions at will the...

Looking at his empty hand, for some reason, Harry felt a little empty in his heart.After hearing Neil's words, Harry quickly shook his head and stopped thinking about it. "No...whether you are unhappy or I am unhappy, we will always be by each other's side... You think, I used to cry in front of you when I was a child... Once when I changed my teeth, Dudley I knocked out a front tooth, and I was so scared that I was crying in front of you. It’s normal for you to cry when you encounter such a big thing.” Harry tried hard to talk about his embarrassment, and wanted Neil not to care.Although he didn't understand why Neil was always reluctant to show his emotions, as long as it was Neil's decision, he would always support it.

Hearing Harry's words, Neil burst into a 'poof' laugh.After crying for a while, Neil only felt a lot lighter in his heart.

Seeing Neil smile, Harry felt relieved.Rubbing his hair, Harry showed his doubts. "Neil, what's going on with you today? You don't usually react too much when you encounter things, let alone what happened to Hermione today gave you some associations. Doesn't this look like you?" Harry said in front of Neil. He never concealed it, and when he had doubts in his heart, he asked directly.Harry couldn't understand Neil very well. Hermione's incident was just a trivial matter. Logically speaking, Neil shouldn't have such big mood swings.

Turning his head to the side, Neil was also a little dazed for a moment.Hearing what Harry said, Neil realized that he seemed to be particularly prone to emotional ups and downs during this period, and he was also more irritable than usual?His eyes darkened, and Neil rubbed his brows. "I don't know. Maybe it's because the pressure has been too much during this period." Neil's mind was spinning rapidly as he spoke perfunctorily.Could it be because he learned black magic?Speaking of which, since I was exposed to black magic, it seems that I am not able to control my emotions as much as before...

Pursing his lips, Neil decided to go back and ask Severus about this question.

Hearing what Neil said, Harry looked worried. "Don't push yourself too hard. You see, Hermione took all the courses last year, but she collapsed later. She dropped a lot of courses this year. You have to arrange your time reasonably." As soon as he finished speaking, Harry said Realized he had mentioned Hermione inadvertently.Covering his mouth, Harry was a little annoyed.

Seeing Harry's uneasiness, Neil twitched the corners of his mouth, but didn't care. "It's okay. Speaking of it, I should be wrong. I just scared Hermione." Neil said insincerely.

"No. You're right. Neither Ron nor I agreed with Hermione's unreliable suggestion." Harry refused to let Neil take the blame on himself. "Leave this matter alone, I will persuade Hermione to give up the idea." He and Ron were also somewhat dissatisfied with Hermione's unreasonable decision. After Neil's trouble, Harry's dissatisfaction Naturally it deepened.

After hearing Harry's words, Neil nodded slightly.Looking around, Neil noticed that Bruno was not around.There was a 'thump' in his heart, and Neil looked a little distressed - Sirius, you didn't hear what you said just now, did you?

……

Sirius?Coming out of Dumbledore's office, Severus saw the big black dog wandering the corridor unexpectedly.Shouldn't he be with Neil?Thinking of this, Severus frowned.

"Bruno!" Severus yelled, looking around and seeing no one in the corridor.

What made him dissatisfied was that the big black dog in front of him continued to move forward as if he hadn't heard it.

With a tense face, Severus took two quick steps and stopped the big black dog that was like a wandering spirit.Seeing the black shadow in front of him, the big black dog raised his head and glanced at Severus with a gloomy expression.

……

When he returned to the office, Sirius turned into a human form and slumped on the sofa.

Seeing Sirius' appearance of being human or ghost, Severus asked with a straight face, "Where's Neil?"

Sirius rested his head on the sofa wearily. "Stay with Harry. Don't worry, they'll be back by themselves later."

Taking a strange look at the depressed Sirius, Severus stopped talking and sat back at the desk.In his opinion, Sirius' mood has nothing to do with him.

Ignoring the displeasure in his heart, Severus took out his third grade homework and began to grade it.

In the dark, Sirius tilted his head, looked at Severus who was sitting across from him and was concentrating on correcting his homework, and gave a wry smile... Before, he had been unconvinced that Neil cared more about Snape, he felt that this It was because Snape was one step ahead of him that he occupied the most important position in Neil's heart... But at this moment, he finally had to admit with great dejection that maybe he was not even as good as Snape... If Snape Pu, with his clumsy personality, he shouldn't have lost Neil back then...

☆, secret

On the other end, Ron comforted the sad Hermione at a loss.

"I'm fine." Hermione raised her head stubbornly, her expression thoughtful.It is undeniable that Neil's words had a great impact on him. He had never noticed the phenomenon of homeless children in London mentioned by Neil before.

But this doesn't mean that if you want to help the house elves, you just have nothing to do when you are full?Hermione was still a little aggrieved by Neil's words about herself in such a heavy way.And what about the war of house-elves and wizards that Neil mentioned?Didn't I see such information when I was collecting information about house elves before?Did you ignore it?

Thinking of this, Hermione stood up decisively. "I'm going to the library." Hermione looked sharply at Ron, "Are you going with me?"

Ron grimaced, not knowing what to say.Although he desperately didn't want to go to the library, Hermione was in a rage now, and he didn't dare add fuel to the fire.No way, Ron puffed his cheeks and nodded reluctantly.

"Very good." Seeing that Ron didn't refuse, Hermione nodded in satisfaction, turned around and strode away.After Ron packed up the things on the ground, he trotted after him.

……

"Draco?" Halfway along, Hermione and Ron met Draco coming from the other direction. "Are you going to the library too?"

Draco nodded, sort of answering Hermione's question.Although he had reconciled with the Gryffindor trio now, he still didn't want to call these people by their Christian names unless necessary.But after exchanging the Christian name, it seems very impolite to call the surname again.Therefore, in the usual way of getting along, he can ignore the question of address.

"Exactly, Draco, I want to ask you a question." As she spoke, Hermione kicked her feet hesitantly.Draco raised his eyebrows with interest, it was the first time he saw Hermione so hesitant to speak. "I had a fight with Neil today. Can you come with us and let me ask you carefully?"

Hearing Hermione's words, Draco's eyes widened in surprise.Neil's character would actually quarrel with others?He couldn't believe it. "Okay." Out of curiosity, Draco agreed to Hermione's request.

……

Walking to a secluded corner, Hermione told Draco the ins and outs of the future.Draco looked at the badge in his hand playfully and shook his head.

"Ron, don't you know the secret of the elves' rebellion?" Draco naturally ignored the incident of children in London mentioned by Neil.In his opinion, what a Muggle is has nothing to do with him.Draco focused his attention on the house-elf.

Looking at Draco suspiciously, Ron shook his head.

"Tsk tsk", Draco deeply regretted the depravity of the Weasley family.Seeing Draco's expression, Ron blushed.

"It's estimated that this matter has disappeared in the long river of history now, and only a few families still have records about the house elves." Draco accepted it as soon as it was good, and did not continue to tease Ron.Seeing Draco's serious narration, Ron didn't like to get angry, but he wondered if he was too sensitive and overthinking.Trying to suppress his anger, Ron also focused on Draco's story.

"Perhaps many people know about the goblin rebellion, but few people know about the war between elves and wizards. Because the elves were completely tamed by wizards at that time, the information about the war between elves and wizards was also Destroyed. Back then, elves were a very magical creature, and, moreover, they were able to wizard most of the prohibitions of wizards. It was even said at the time that when they had wands, no two magically powerful wizards could defeat one Only elves. After the elves discovered that they could use magic wands, they also realized this. When they found that their power was stronger than that of wizards, elves were no longer willing to be the vassals of wizards, and lived in peace with wizards. Therefore, they launched a war. Because of this war, the wizarding world lost a lot of population. However, the absolute number of elves was much less than that of wizards. In the end, they still failed. When the elves surrendered , the wizarding world has been hit hard, and the population of elves is no longer one in ten. At that time, the voices of the wizarding world were divided into two factions, one believed that the elves should be eradicated, and the other believed that since the elves had surrendered, they should not Then kill them all. When everyone was arguing, the Black family solved the problem. The head of the Black family was a very creative wizard. It is bound to the house forever. The bound elf must be willing to serve the bound family as a slave of that family to wash away their sins. From then on, the creature of house elf was born Yes. But since then, the overall strength of the wizarding world has been greatly weakened, and it was only later that the goblins had the opportunity to rebel..."

Having said that, Draco put the badge back in Hermione's hand. "Give up your thoughts. Liberating the house-elves is not just letting the tiger go back to the mountain, but also means betraying the wizard." Looking into Hermione's eyes, Draco looked calm.Turning his head, Draco looked at Ron with complicated eyes. "At that time, the Weasley family was still the main force in countering the rebellion, but now you don't even know about it..."

Ron on the side was already stunned by such secrets.After hearing Draco's last words, Ron was even more speechless. "Is this why our family is called pure-blood traitors by you Slytherins?" Looking at Draco, Ron's voice was a little difficult.In the past, he had always been proud of the title of pure-blood traitor. He thought it was because their family was Muggle that he had this title.But Draco's last words just now gave Ron a bad feeling.

Draco nodded. "The Weasley family has forgotten their own history. Although you are still pure blood, you have lost the pride and accumulation of pure blood. Therefore, your family is named this title by other families."

Opening his mouth, Ron felt his head was a little confused.There was too much information today, which made it difficult for him to digest for a while.

Looking at the badge in her hand, Hermione had complicated eyes.She never knew that such secrets were involved behind the house elves.At this moment, Hermione realized her recklessness.She shouldn't just rely on the elf's seemingly miserable appearance, not investigate clearly, and arbitrarily want to sympathize with the weak. "Thank you, Draco." Throwing the badge into the box, Hermione looked sincere. "I won't do SPEW anymore, and I'll go and apologize to Neil." Although Neil's reaction was a bit aggressive just now, after Hermione knew the ins and outs, he felt completely understandable.This time, it was indeed her fault. She shouldn't have overflowed with sympathy without understanding the matter clearly.It was also at this moment that Hermione suddenly realized that she still knew too little about the wizarding world. Many secret histories of the wizarding world could not be found just by reading a few books in the library.

"Anyway, thank you very much, Draco."

……

Not knowing where Sirius had gone, Neil, who was worried about Sirius' whereabouts, finally returned to the Potions Office.However, before going back, he made a special trip to the bathroom, and cast the beauty spell that Draco taught him on his face. Now, his expression looks radiant, and he doesn't seem to be crying at all. Mark of.

As soon as he entered, Neil saw Bruno lying in the dog house he had prepared for him, soundly asleep.After finding Sirius, Neil let go of his worries.

Looking at Sirius' tightly closed eyes, Neil was a little puzzled.Did Sirius hear the conversation he had with Harry just now?With Sirius' character, in that situation, it's impossible for him to run back to the office instead of chasing him?Thinking of this, Neil felt a 'thump' in his heart.And seeing that Sirius didn't greet him as soon as he entered the door, Neil understood everything.

He must have known... Only in this way can he explain his current reaction... He must be blaming himself, feeling ashamed to face himself...

Without disturbing Severus who was concentrating on correcting his homework, Neil sat on the sofa with an embarrassed expression.What happened back then, the last thing he wanted was to let his father and father know.But who knows, by mistake, he still let his father know.Did the father tell his father... Looking at Severus who was concentrating on correcting his homework, Neil shook his head.With Severus' character, if he knew about this, he wouldn't be like Sirius who didn't know how to face it. He would definitely show something, and even educate himself not to be weak.

It has to be said that Neil's reasoning ability is simply unparalleled. With just a simple movement of Sirius and Severus, he has almost pieced together the truth.

Looking at Bruno who was pretending to be asleep, Neil's eyes were deep and his face was slightly embarrassed.He didn't know how to face him.In the end, Neil decided that since Sirius was so considerate, he should pretend not to know that he knew...

After grading an assignment, Severus glanced slightly at Severus who was in deep thought, then at Sirius who was lying on his bed, uncharacteristically quiet, and frowned.Today, something must have happened... Just seeing that Neil and Sirius were keeping secrets, Severus temporarily gave up asking... When the time is right, go to trap Sirius...

Thinking of the way to deal with it, Severus kept his face unchanged, took out the next homework, pretended to work hard, didn't notice the abnormality of the two, and continued with his task...

☆, welcoming guests

Fast forward to October, and Neil and Draco's Dark Arts seminar is going well.During this period, a small incident happened. Professor Moody demonstrated the power of the Imperius Curse on the students in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class above the fourth grade. Neil couldn't say whether he missed this experience. It's a pity or a blessing.Although Neil also wanted to experience black magic without harming his body, he was not at ease about Professor Moody.His hostility towards Slytherin was all too obvious.He wasn't sure what he would do if Professor Moody really cast the Imperius Curse on him.

That night, Neil lay on the bed, flipping through Regulus Black's notes.At this time, the night was quiet, and the curtains around Neil's bed completely blocked his sight, and he and Dylan couldn't see each other's movements.

Seeing Black mention in his notes that learning black magic can easily make people irritable, irritable, sensitive, and suspicious, Neil's face is a little dignified. This is the first time he has seen such a statement.is this real?At this time, Neil unexpectedly thought of his loss of emotional control some time ago... Thinking of this, Neil couldn't help but believe it.

This time, Neil was not in the mood to continue watching.After closing the notebook, Neil's face turned blue.Neil attached great importance to this problem. He decided to temporarily put aside his study of black magic until this problem was solved.In his heart, he made it very clear that what he needed was to control power, not become a slave to power.If you lose control of yourself in order to gain strength, it is not worth the loss.

Tossing and turning, Neil once again thought of the scene of the first Defense Against the Dark Arts.Is it right or wrong to learn black magic?At this moment, Neil's heart wavered a little...

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

The next night, after dinner, Neil arrived at Severus' office immediately.Since Sirius was with Harry this week, Severus was alone in his office at the moment.

Watching Severus brewing the potion, Neil didn't bother him, took out the homework of the Transfiguration class, and sat on his small desk to finish it seriously.

When Neil finished writing the last word and put down his pen, the homework in his hand was abruptly taken away.

Severus glanced over quickly and nodded in satisfaction.Returning the homework to Neil, Severus looked indifferent. "not bad."

After receiving his father's praise, Neil looked happy, and his ears were slightly red.After putting away his homework, Neil walked up to Severus, raised his head, and directly raised his confusion. "Father, is learning black magic likely to affect emotions? Is there a way to overcome it?" Last night, Neil thought for a long time and decided to ask Severus first.He knew that, as a black magic master, Severus must have his own opinion on this issue.Guarding such a large gold mine, Neil will naturally make good use of it.

Seeing that Neil realized the problem sooner than he thought, Severus had a look of satisfaction on his face.Opening the drawer under the desk, Severus took out a very thin silver necklace. "This necklace has the effect of meditation. Wearing it can temporarily isolate the negative effects of black magic." After a pause, Severus continued, "The curse on this necklace can only last for two years, two years In the future, you need to figure out your own way." In Severus' view, this necklace is not difficult to make, and when Neil is in the fourth grade, he can basically make an identical one with ease.

After taking the necklace, the corners of Neil's mouth curled up slightly.He didn't expect that his father had already thought of everything for him.As for why Severus didn't give him the necklace before, Neil could easily think of the answer.After all, he is only studying theory now, and the influence of black magic is limited. His father also hopes that he can experience this feeling for himself, so that he can be more cautious in learning black magic in the future.Sensing Severus' good intentions, Neil's heart felt slightly warm.

"Thank you, father." Looking at the necklace without a pendant and touching the gold medal around his neck, Neil thought of a question. "Father, can I hang the gold medal around my neck on a necklace?" When preparing, Sirius considered the weight. The gold medal is made of silver thread. Over the years, the silver thread that hangs the gold medal has been quite damaged. damage.

"Okay." Severus said simply.He didn't say that it was because of this problem that he chose the necklace as the medium.

After getting an affirmative answer, Neil took off the silver thread around his neck and strung the gold medal on his neck.
