[HP] Father?dad!

There is no other meaning, so he doesn't care as much about this as he did when he was a child.

"Then what should we do now? Harry go take a shower?" Ron suggested.

Draco rolled his eyes. "Now? Here?" Looking at Ron, Draco looked full of sarcasm, as if looking at a fool.

Hermione's face flushed red. "Can we—can we say—something else?" Hermione nearly squeezed the words through her teeth.

"Actually, tell me, can we turn this place into a swimming pool?" Surprisingly, Neil was a blockbuster.There was a bright light in his eyes.

"Good idea!" Harry jumped up. "Great! This way we can listen to Golden Eggs and play in the water together!"

"But, what about the swimsuit?" Hermione asked anxiously.She didn't feel very good about Neil's suggestion at all. "Leave it to us, just use the Transfiguration Curse!" Harry answered Hermione excitedly, and ran to Neil's side.

On the other end, both Draco and Ron leaned towards Hermione and whispered, "What's the swimming pool?"

When Draco figured out what the pool was, he let out a yelp. "I will never stay in the same bathtub with other people!"

However, it was too late.Since it was Neil who opened the room this time, with Neil's change of mind, the bookshelf of the Room of Requirement has disappeared, replaced by a huge swimming pool that can accommodate two hundred people and more.The depth of the swimming pool is not deep, about 1.5 meters.

Neil picked up a pair of swimming trunks and handed them to Draco. "Here are the swimming trunks. You can change into them." Neil had a serious expression on his face, but secretly smiled in his heart - when he thought of Draco, who always paid attention to his image, wearing swimming trunks, Neil felt overjoyed.

Looking straight at the underwear in Neil's hand, Draco felt dizzy. "Just this?" Draco gritted his teeth as he glanced at Hermione standing on the left. "I will never go into the water!"

However, Draco said it too late.Before he knew it, Harry was already secretly standing behind him, and a spell was shot at him. "Straight ahead!"

The effect of this spell is to make the victim move two meters in front of him, and it is not aggressive.There was only a splash, and Draco fell into the water.

"Harry! Neil! You two!" When he emerged from the water again, Draco was all wet and embarrassed.Wiping his face, Draco's expression twisted.

Harry laughed, and without changing his clothes, he just jumped into the water with the golden egg in his arms.Neil kindly pointed Hermione back. "That's the girls' locker room." He said, and handed the pure green swimsuit to Hermione.Hermione looked at the swimsuit in her hand, only to feel that her face turned black.Looking at Harry and Draco who had already entered the water, and Ron and Neil who were about to enter the water, Hermione stomped her feet, turned around and walked into the dressing room—Gryffindor's courage could not allow her to retreat!

"This is underwear! Why do you need to change it!" Ron looked at the pants in his hand, not paying attention to the difference in fabric.As soon as he took off his wizard robe, Ron happily got into the water.

"It's so cold!" Ron screamed as soon as he entered the water. "It's November! Why cold water!"—

☆, injured

"This—" Neil laughed dryly, "I forgot..." When they were young, Neil and Harry always liked to go swimming by the lake in summer. At that time, there were no toys for the two of them. For a little boy, the happiest thing is that he can swim freely in summer.Because they always swim in cold water by the lake, Neil also forgot that the current water temperature can be adjusted by him in a moment of excitement. "I'll adjust right away..."

Gradually, the water heated up.Ron, who was shivering from the cold, stretched out his body and breathed a sigh of relief.

Draco had already fallen into the water, his whole body was soaked, and he simply gave up on himself, no longer caring about his image. "Harry, try putting the golden egg in the water to open it!" Because the sleeves were too long, the clothes were too wide, and Draco couldn't swim, the way to Harry was extremely difficult.After walking a few steps, Draco gave up and stopped.

Seeing this, Harry and Neil also thoughtfully swam to where Draco was.Ron, who was only wearing shorts and with a light body, was not to be outdone, and chased after him.

Gathering together, Harry buried the golden egg in the water and pried the groove open.A melodious singing came from underwater, the sound was indistinct.

"No, I can't hear you clearly." In the middle of speaking, Ron couldn't wait to dive into the water.Harry and Neil looked at each other, and at the same time they plunged their heads into the water.Draco stared straight at the three heads under the water, his face tangled.

At this time, Hermione stepped out of the dressing room in a pure green swimsuit.Looking up inadvertently, seeing Hermione walking by the pool, Draco's face suddenly turned red, and he plunged into the water.Neil's appreciation level is terrible!How could you make underwear that color!Under the water, Draco was still complaining secretly.

Inside the golden egg some strange voices sang melodiously:

Seek us where our voices sound,

We cannot sing on the ground.

As you search, think carefully about:

We stole your most beloved baby.

You only have an hour,

To find and recapture what we took,

After an hour there is no hope,

He has completely disappeared and will never appear.

After getting out of the water, Neil let out a long breath.The other four people also got out from the bottom of the water one after another.

"In other words, the content of Harry's second level is to go to the lake to find the mermaid, and then rescue his beloved thing?" Hermione tilted her head thoughtfully.

"Ahhhh——" Ron screamed suddenly, "How long have you been in the water! How did you dress...to look like this!" Ron was frightened by the sudden appearance of Hermione in cool clothes I jumped so much that I couldn't speak clearly.

Harry rolled his eyes, quite helpless at Ron's strangeness. "Ron, this is a swimsuit, and all girls who swim will wear it like this." Having said that, Harry still deliberately avoided Hermione's gaze.

Draco's face was even more flushed, and he turned his head away as soon as he got out of the water.The reaction of the three older boys made Hermione uncomfortable too.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Neil secretly laughed.He didn't expect that these boys in front of him would be so innocent, but after thinking about it, Neil felt normal again—compared with the former Muggles, wizards are much more conservative in dressing, even in summer, wizards Also wear long wizard robes instead of cool sleeveless ones. "It should be what Hermione said, that's right. It's just that the golden egg said to take back the beloved treasure. What is this beloved treasure? Why can't it be found after an hour?"

After Neil's mediation, the others reluctantly focused on the second project.

"Harry, do you think you have any favorite objects?" Ron asked.

"The key question now is, how can I breathe underwater for an hour?" Harry looked anxious.

"Don't worry, Harry." Neil patted Harry on the back. "I saw a plant at my father's place last year. Its name is Gill Grass. After taking it, it will grow gills and can breathe underwater." Last year, when he first went to Severus' office, Neil told the office He was curious about everything, and it took him several months to sort out all the medicinal materials that Severus had.

"That's good." Harry was greatly relieved that the most important problem was solved so easily.Leaning against the edge of the pool, Harry suddenly remembered something. "By the way, when the first game was about to start, Professor Moody actually called me to remind me how to participate in the first game! But, I told him that I had already figured out a way, and he Didn't say much."

"Why does Moody meddle in your business?" Draco huddled in a corner and said suddenly. "Isn't he always jealous of evil? He would actually cheat you?"

"This..." Harry was stopped by the question, "I don't know." After he couldn't figure it out, Harry didn't think about it anymore. It poured down on Er's head.

"Harry—" Neil gritted his teeth.

Harry grimaced. "Let's have a water fight!" With that said, Harry swam away quickly.

"Don't run!" Neil plunged into the water and chased after him.

"Neil!" Draco wiped the splashed water on his face and gritted his teeth.

"Ouch, Harry!" On the other end, Ron also wailed.

In the end, everyone fell into a melee...

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

"Pong!" With a loud noise, Severus put down the pen in his hand and stood up angrily.

"Blake! What's the matter with you!" Severus was furious as he rushed into the potions room in two or three steps.The thick smoke dissipated, the potion table was in a mess, the cauldron was cracked, and failed potions were scattered everywhere.Standing in front of the potion table, Sirius' face was covered in ashes, his arms were poured with the liquid of failure, making sizzling noises.Watching Severus enter, Sirius smiled guiltily. "I seem to have overestimated the weight of the moonstone by an extra zero."

Seeing the serious injury on Sirius' hand, Severus' pupils shrank.Taking a deep breath, Severus suppressed the anger in his heart, walked quickly to the medicine cabinet, grabbed two bottles of potions, and rushed to Sirius.Severus first used the Absorption Charm to absorb the remaining potion on Sirius' arm, and then poured the potion in his hand directly on Sirius' arm.

Feeling the icy cold touch from his arm, Sirius' grim expression of pain gradually eased.The potion quickly penetrated into Sirius' skin, and Sirius' festered skin was relieved at a speed visible to the naked eye.However, Severus' spare potion was for ordinary wounds after all, and Sirius' wound stopped healing halfway through.

Severus frowned, went to the potion table, dipped a drop of potion on the crystal stick, and carefully analyzed the ingredients. Sirius just raised his arms and stood aside, looking at Severer who was thinking carefully s.

It took a long time before Severus put down the crystal wand in his hand. "The potion has mutated, and too much moonstone and salamander blood blended, which changed the effect of the potion and became corrosive. I have to brew the potion again to heal your wounds. However, it may take a day Okay." Severus frowned tightly, his eyes were rather cold. "How did you add ten times more moonstones?! Could it be that your brain is filled with troll feces!" Severus asked angrily.This kind of low-level mistake, in Severus' view, was simply unimaginable and incomprehensible.

Sirius laughed dryly twice, without any excuse.In fact, he also felt that his mistake was simply stupid.However, although he was a student with potions and his grades were passable, after all, he hadn't touched potions for so many years, and he was already very unfamiliar with the operation methods of potions.Although he didn't want to admit it when he was asked to brew such a difficult potion, it was indeed very reluctant for him.

Severus found out the magic bandage, and prepared to bandage Sirius' wound first.Sirius looked at Severus, who was serious with his head buried in front of him, and suddenly felt a little sad. "Severus..." Sirius' voice was lonely, "When I was brewing potions, I couldn't concentrate..."

Hearing this, Severus paused for a moment.He also knew that it would be difficult for Sirius to brew such a difficult potion as Wolf's Poison, which hadn't recovered yet, but he couldn't understand Sirius' caring mouth for that werewolf regardless of his own health Face.As expected of Gryffindor, loyalty always comes first.But seeing Sirius' frustrated look, Severus felt it was an eyesore again.

"As long as you go to Madam Pomfrey for treatment on time, you will get better slowly." Severus said dryly.What he didn't say was that, considering that the technology at this stage might leave Sirius with sequelae, he purposely and secretly asked Sirius about his treatment plan, and also gave Madam Pomfrey some advice and some new potions.

After bandaging Sirius, Severus let go of Sirius' arm. "Go to the living room, don't get in the way here." Severus said angrily.Sirius touched his head, and walked out obediently.

After Severus had finished packing the potions room, he came out again.Sirius was sitting on the sofa, bored.Sirius sat up straight when he saw Severus coming out.

Severus scowled, not even looking at Sirius. "I will brew the Wolf's Poison for you this month."

Sirius' eyes lit up. "Thank you, Sev—"

"Wait, I'm not finished yet." Severus raised his hand, stopping Sirius. "From next month, you will still have to brew Wolfsbane Potion yourself." Hearing these words, Sirius' face collapsed dramatically again.Seeing Sirius' frustrated look, Severus turned his head away, and reluctantly added, "When the time comes, I will guide you in due course. I hope you don't degenerate to be worse than the little trolls in the school." stupid."

Sirius cheered, his eyes excited: "That's great, thank you, Severus!"

Seeing Sirius so happy because he was able to learn the wolfsbane potion, Severus didn't know why, but felt a little glaring.Scowling, Severus said nothing.

But at this moment, Sirius didn't notice Severus' reaction, and was simply jumping with joy: Sure enough, this method is effective!Now, at least there was more than just embarrassment between the two of them - potions, indeed, were Severus' favorites!

☆, take a bath

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" When Neil returned to the office after having fun, he was shocked to find that Sirius' hand was injured.Rushing to Sirius, Neil looked anxious, "What's going on? Father, is Dad okay?" Seeing that Sirius' wound had obviously been treated, Neil turned his head and looked at Severer worriedly s.

Of course, Severus couldn't say anything harsh to Neal. "Sirius' injury will be fully recovered tomorrow." Severus said concisely, after thinking about it, he added, "Don't worry."

"Dad, how did you get hurt?" After hearing what Severus said, Neil's expression relaxed a little.Sitting next to Sirius, Neil carefully held Sirius' hand and asked.

"This..." Sirius laughed dryly, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"What's going on?" Neil, who was usually very considerate, was unexpectedly tough this time.When it comes to health issues, he can't let Sirius follow his own temper.

"Your father made potions and blew up the cauldron." It was Severus who spoke, and there was a hint of schadenfreude in his voice.

Neil blinked his eyes and said 'oh'.Dad's level of potion is so poor... Neil really felt a little disappointed. "What potion was brewed to cause it?" Neil asked inquisitively.

This time, it was Sirius who answered. "It's Wolfsbane Potion. I originally wanted to boil it for Remus. Who knows I haven't touched potions for a long time... My previous potion grades were pretty good..." Desperate to save face in front of Neil, Si Rees racked his brains to explain.

After hearing Sirius' words, Neil's eyes flickered, a little displeased.Father's own health is not good, and the level of potion is not good enough. Why do you have to be brave enough to brew Wolf's Poison for Professor Lu Ping?At this moment, Neil couldn't help but get angry—this Professor Lupine, why is he so lingering!

But Neil still didn't say anything, he just put Sirius' hand away angrily. "Today, Harry and I know what the second project is." Knowing that Sirius was concerned about this issue, Neil immediately reported the results to him.

"Really? What is it?" Sure enough, Sirius straightened up and looked at Neil with particularly excited eyes. "Your movements are simply too fast!" Sirius did not forget to boast in excitement.For such an excellent son and godson of his, he was simply extremely proud.

"In the lake, look for the mermaid, and take back your treasure from the mermaid's grasp within an hour." Neil said calmly, he was not hit by Sirius' sugar-coated shells.

Severus on the side moved his ears when he heard this, and his expression became a little dignified. "Treasure? Does it refer to a person or a thing?" It doesn't matter if it's a thing. If it's a person, then, based on the relationship between Potter and Neil, could his treasure be Neil?But it was so cold at the bottom of the lake, how could Neil stay there for an hour?Severus was completely overly concerned about Neil, and immediately thought of Neil's safety from Harry's game.It's just that this is still a matter of nothing, and Severus can only keep it in his heart, thinking about what measures he can take if this situation really happens...

Looking at Sirius' hair that was greasy from the potion, Neil frowned, and then glanced at Sirius' tightly bandaged arm, and Neil sighed helplessly. "Come on, I'll give you a bath."

"What...what?" Sirius paled in shock, his cheeks flushed.

"You don't want to?" Neil raised his eyebrows, "Forget it." After speaking, Neil leaned on the sofa.

"How could I not want to?!" Sirius said in a high voice, "I just didn't realize it all at once!" He was going to be knocked out by this sudden pie, okay?His son was so considerate, life couldn't be happier!Under the extreme joy, Sirius had a smirk on his face, and he looked dumbfounded. "Then go now!" Fearing that Neil would change his mind, Sirius quickly stood up and walked towards the bedroom.

Neil hooked the corner of his mouth helplessly, got up and followed Sirius' pace.

A haze hung over Severus, who was left behind.Looking at the quiet and empty office again, Severus looked fiercely in his eyes - this big stupid dog wants to add bezoar to the potion himself!It's so hard to drink him to death!absolute!

……

in the bathroom.

After putting the water in, Neil flipped his hands and stared at the flushed Sirius.Taking a deep breath, Neil stepped forward and took off Sirius' wizard robe.

When Sirius was stripped naked, he dodged and slipped into the water.Wiping the splashed mercury on his face, Neil couldn't help shouting: "Be careful of the water!"

"Don't worry, Neil. My hands didn't get wet at all." As he spoke, Sirius waved his two hands proudly.Neil rolled his eyes, picked up the shampoo, and poured it on Sirius' head.Sirius closed his eyes, enjoying himself.

After rubbing his hair nimbly but gently a few times to rinse off the water from his hair, Neil took out a clean bath towel from the basket. "Get up." Neil ordered dryly.

Although he wanted to enjoy his son's service more, Sirius also knew that his son was angry at this time, so he obediently stood up from the water and walked out of the bathtub.Neil put the towel on Sirius' body, and the water on Sirius' body was automatically sucked away due to the water absorption magic on the towel.Taking off the bath towel, Neil took out the prepared bathrobe and put it on for Sirius.After all this, Neal was exhausted.

"You can sleep in the bedroom today, I will talk to my father later." Walking out of the bathroom, Neil ordered involuntarily, walked to the bed, and pulled back the quilt for Sirius.Sirius obediently lay down on the bed.

"Go to bed first, I'll go find my father." After speaking, Neil wanted to go out the door.

"Wait, Neil!" Sirius quickly stopped him, "It's so late, how long do you sleep?" As a father, Sirius still needs to care about his son's routine, he doesn't want his son to stay up late at a young age .

"I had a few words with my father, and then I went to sleep after taking a shower." Neil turned around and said angrily. "Are there any more questions? I'm out without it."

"Neil, you are the best son, Dad loves you to death!" Under the dim light, Sirius had a silly smile on his face, full of happiness.Neil grunted, and the pinnae of his ears turned red.Opening the door, Neil ran out in a little embarrassment.

"Sirius asleep?" Severus asked gravely.

"Yes, Father." Walking in front of Severus, Neil lowered his head, "I'm sorry, Father. I let Dad sleep in the bedroom without your permission."

Severus was silent for two seconds, but he was still reluctant to scold Neil after all. "No next time." In the end, Severus just said such a weak sentence.

"Thank you, father." Neil raised his head, his eyes shining brightly. "By the way, father, when will Dad recover from his injury?"

"I'm already brewing the potion for him, and it will be ready tomorrow." Severus said flatly.

Neil didn't ask any more questions. Neil was always very reassuring about Severus.At this stage, his ability is not enough to touch the wolfsbane potion, so he didn't ask any more in-depth questions.Walking to the small desk, Neil picked up the homework for herbal medicine class and wanted to finish it.

Seeing Neil being so serious and hardworking, Severus admired him and didn't stop him.

After another hour passed, Severus added two more ingredients to the potion before knocking on Neil's desk. "It's time to sleep."

Just as he finished writing the last word, Neil put down the pen in his hand.Seeing that Severus was sitting back at the table again, with no intention of going to sleep, Neil said, "Okay, I'll go to bed right now. What about you, Father?" Neil asked tentatively.

Severus pursed his lips. "I'm going to brew a potion tonight." Severus' face was dark, and Severus was extremely upset at the thought of brewing a potion for Sirius all night.

Nilton nodded calmly for a second. "Father, I'm going to bed first." After speaking, Neil walked into the bedroom.

The moment the door was closed, a smile appeared on the corner of Neil's mouth.He could feel that the atmosphere between his father and his father was becoming more and more integrated. If today's incident happened before, his father would definitely not care about it, but now, he is actually willing to boil medicine for his father all night.Neil is very happy with this change.

In the silent night, Severus let out a slight sigh... Anyway, Sirius is Neil's father after all, for Neil's sake, he can't just ignore him...

……

After taking a shower, Neil went to bed.After staring deeply at Sirius' stretched out sleeping position for a few seconds, Neil sighed, gently arranged Sirius' hands and feet, and lay down on the bed.

In the darkness, Neil soon felt a heat source approaching him.Reluctantly twitching the corners of his mouth, Neil placed Sirius's hand again, making sure that he would not press it, and then closed his eyes.

……

In the middle of the night, the bedroom door was quietly opened a crack.A tall figure walked into the bedroom.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Severus stared at the figures of one large and one small sleeping soundly next to each other.Seeing Sirius sleeping stupidly with his mouth open, Severus suddenly inexplicably felt that the person in front of him didn't seem as hideous as he thought before.Suddenly, Sirius rolled over, and one foot and one hand fell out of the quilt again.

Severus' eyes twitched and his face darkened.Wrinkling his nose, Severus put Sirius' hands and feet back under the covers again.Tucking the corner of the blanket for Neil who was curled up into a ball again, gently stroked Neil's hair, and glanced at Sirius who was sleeping soundly, Severus tiptoed out of the bedroom again...

☆, worship

Because of the Triwizard Tournament, the school will hold a Yule Ball at Christmas, and all the fourth graders will focus on this matter, but since Neil is only in the second grade and has no interest in the dance, naturally he is interested in this Things don't pay much attention.

After tactfully rejecting several senior girls who invited him to the dance, Neil and Sirius set foot on their way home.Severus had to stay at school this year because of the Christmas ball, so Sirius took over the job of accompanying Neil during the holidays.

"What do you want to arrange for Christmas Eve and Christmas Eve, baby?" After packing up his things, Sirius came to Neil's bedroom.

Hearing Sirius' sticky address, Neil shuddered, and as soon as he let go of his hand, Jedah in his arms ran out.

Now that Sirius already knew the truth, Neil didn't want to force himself to pretend to be happy to spend Christmas.He really wanted to see his grandpa—after all these years, he finally had the money and time to go and see his grandpa...

"Dad, can you accompany me to a place on Christmas Eve?" Looking at Sirius, Neil's eyes were a little sad.Although he still didn't want Sirius to know more about his past, but the desire to see old Jeff prevailed, and he couldn't care less.He knew that it was absolutely impossible for Sirius to allow him to go out alone on Christmas, and he didn't know how many years he would have to wait until he could go out alone on Christmas without staying with his family—Neil really couldn't wait up.Therefore, even though this visit might allow Sirius to learn more about his past, Neil couldn't care less - he really missed his grandpa...

Seeing Neil's expression, Sirius looked up, guessed something, and nodded seriously.After stroking Neil's hair, Sirius gently pulled Neil into his arms. "Wherever you want to go, Dad will accompany you."

Being held in Sirius' arms, Neil no longer resisted this warm embrace as before. As he got along with Sirius more and more, he gradually got used to his Gryffindor-style enthusiasm.Looking into the distance without focus, Neil silently muttered in his heart—Grandpa, I can finally visit you...

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

In the early morning of December 12, Neil took Sirius out of No. 24, Grimmauld Place.

Since Sirius didn't know where Neil wanted to go, they couldn't apparate, and that place was a Muggle graveyard, so Neil and Sirius could only use Muggle means of transportation.

In order to save time, Neil did not use the bus or subway transportation, but called a taxi.However, it was too far from Grimmauld Place, and by the time I finally got out of the taxi, it was already afternoon.

The cold wind was bleak, and light rain was falling in the sky.Sirius cast a Waterproof Charm on himself and Neil each.Sitting on the steps and eating two pieces of bread, Neil led the way to the cemetery.Passing through rows of long cemeteries, Neil searched for a long time before leading Sirius to the tombstone of old Jeff.

Standing in front of Old Jeff's tombstone, Neil looked dazed.This is the first time in so many years that Neil has come to the cemetery to pay homage to old Jeff.When Old Jeff died, Neil was sent to an orphanage. Since he was underage, the government was responsible for all of Old Jeff's burials.After escaping from the orphanage, Neil struggled to find out where the government buried old Jeff.However, that place was too far away, and that little Neil was unable to go alone to worship his grandfather due to the pressure of life.And last year, Neil and Severus were in the running-in period again, not to mention that Severus has always been quite strong in arrangements. At that time, he had already decided to go to Malfoy's house, so Neil did not dare to ask him to accompany him. Come here yourself.If Sirius hadn't accidentally discovered the truth this year, Neil would not have been willing to take the initiative to tell him about it.

Kneeling in front of Old Jeff's cemetery, Neil took out the turkey and cake from his bag and placed them in front of Old Jeff's tomb. "Grandpa, Neil can finally visit you." Neil grinned, as if smiling, but his eyes were filled with tears. "Look, I brought my dad to see you. Grandpa, I finally found my dad and my father... Yes, you heard me right, are you surprised that I am the child of two men I was terrified when I found out...but my father and dad were both good to me...Grandpa, I brought turkey and cake to see you...I promised you back then, When I grow up, I will definitely buy a big turkey to honor you. You see, I have done it now...Grandpa, I am not an abandoned child...Dad had to be abandoned because of the war My... grandpa, don't worry, I am living with my father and my father, very happy..." Neil just leaned against the tombstone, chatting with old Jeff in a rambling manner. "Grandpa, shall I sing for you? You said that you like listening to Little Neil's singing the most..."

Sirius stood not far away, looking at Neil who was filled with sadness. For the first time, he didn't rush forward.He could strongly feel that at this moment, in that small space, there was no place for him.Looking at Neil who was fondly raising his hand and stroking the tombstone, and listening to Neil's clear and bright singing voice, Sirius looked solemn.This was the first time he heard Neil sing, and it was only then that he realized that Neil's singing voice was so beautiful.He was standing not far from Neil, and all of Neil's words could clearly reach his ears.Sirius looked at the little figure leaning on the tombstone with distress, wishing he could rub him into his arms and comfort him well.

It wasn't until Neil's words came to an end that Sirius stepped forward slowly.Under Neal's shocked gaze, Sirius slowly knelt down.

"Father Jeff——since you are Neil's grandfather, you are also my father. Father Jeff, thank you for taking care of Neil for me and Severus for so many years, and for teaching him so well I am an incompetent father. Without you, it is still unknown whether Neil can survive. I am here to sincerely thank you for your concern and care for Neil over the years—thank you, Jeff’s father. After finishing speaking, Sirius respectfully kowtowed three times to old Jeff.Sirius was sincerely grateful to old Jeff. Although he was a Muggle, Sirius had always been willful and only did what he wanted to do and what he thought was right.In his opinion, Jeff's kindness to him is greater than the sky and deeper than the sea. If it weren't for the old Jeff, his child would not have survived and grown so well.Therefore, old Jeff can definitely deserve his kowtow to thank him.

Neil looked at Sirius' unexpected move with teary eyes, and couldn't be more moved.He never expected that Sirius, who grew up as the heir of a pure-blood family, could accept old Jeff as an ordinary person, not to mention that he was willing to accept old Jeff as his father for himself. In his opinion, Sirius could accompany him. He's good enough to be here.With tears streaming down his face, Neil threw himself into Sirius' arms for the first time, and shouted sincerely——

"father!"

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

When they got home, the lights were already on, and Kreacher had already prepared a rich Christmas dinner for the two of them, as well as getting the room ready.

Neil and Sirius got into their respective rooms, took a shower, changed into comfortable wizard robes, and came to the living room again.Since he just paid homage to old Jeff, Neil was in a slump and lost his appetite.

Sirius looked at Neil worriedly, cut a piece of fish steak into thin slices, and put it on Neil's plate. "You have to eat something, you didn't eat well at noon." Sirius' tone was rare and strong.

Neil didn't refuse Sirius' kindness, and forked a piece of fish fillet into his mouth.Under Sirius' care, Neil ate a fish steak, a piece of turkey, three carrots, two pieces of broccoli, a plate of kale, and a bowl of soufflé.See how much Neil eats
