[HP] Father?dad!

My mistake..." Remus's face was full of lingering fear. When he saw the Marauder's Map, he was so excited that he completely forgot about taking the medicine, and only cared about rushing to the screaming booth as soon as possible. House knows the truth.

Severus snorted and turned away, ignoring Remus' thanks. "Reckless Gryffindor." Severus rebuked Neil, wrapping his arms around his shoulders protectively.If it wasn't for today, when he went to Lupin's office to deliver the medicine, he wouldn't have discovered that Neil and the others were so bold.Seeing that Neil was actually staying in the Shrieking Shack with Lupine and Black, Severus immediately rushed to Neil's place with the potion in his hands.No one knows better than him how dangerous the werewolf on the night of the full moon is, and he will never let his son experience this danger!

Severus arrived at the Shrieking Shack just one step behind Lupine.Looking at Peter who was fixed on the ground, Severus looked complicated.It turns out that Black is really not a traitor... He just stood in front of Neil like that, secretly listening to Black talking about everything, everything...

Remus quickly took the glass and drank it in one gulp, while Sirius stood up from the ground and stared at Severus desperately.

"Snotling..." At this moment, Sirius was filled with resentment!This damned snot-nosed man!Seeing his arms around Neil, Sirius felt it was extremely glaring!This despicable bastard!Not only did he take advantage of his drunkenness to rape himself, but he also robbed him of Neil with dirty tricks!Neil is his son!It was born by his hard work in ten months of pregnancy!It has nothing to do with this damn snot! "How dare you—"

"Blake, calm down." Severus snorted and cut Sirius off.Although he didn't want to deal with Black, he also didn't want Black to tell Neal the truth of the matter. "Neil is still very emotional right now." Speaking of this, Severus had a warning in his eyes, and tightly wrapped his arms around Neil in a demonstrative way. "You should consider Neil's mood." So, don't-don't-talk-talk-

Understanding the meaning hidden in Severus' limbs, Black closed his eyes, desperately trying to calm down his irritability.In his view now, the sky and the earth are big, and they are not as big as Neil.Before he resumed his relationship with Neil, he didn't dare to provoke the snotling.He can't afford to gamble.He couldn't imagine what he would do if Neil really never forgave him for the rest of his life...

"Now, the first task is to find Dumbledore." Afraid of angering Black and making him break the jar, Severus spoke concisely and hit the center. "And you, go back to the dormitory first!" Saying that, Severus glanced sternly over the Gryffindor trio. "As for you," Severus finally said, his gaze resting on Lupine. "Stay here today."

Under Severus' intimidation, the Gryffindor trio nodded guiltyly, and Lupine, obediently, did not refute Severus' proposal.Now, his heart is full of gratitude to Severus and self-reproach to himself, he can hardly imagine that if Severus hadn't delivered the medicine, what would have happened to him tonight after he turned into a werewolf become what.

Severus raised his wand, and with one wave, the stiff Peter turned into a stiff rat.Picking up the mouse that fell on the ground and holding it in his palm, Severus squinted at Sirius. "Presumably, your intelligence is not inferior to that of Pediru?"

Sirius snorted, trying to get angry.But seeing the expressionless Neil at this time, all the fires in Sirius were extinguished.Pouting his lips, Sirius reluctantly changed into the shape of a big dog.

"Now, Potter!" Severus raised his voice, "Help Weasley up!" Although Weasley's injury was not serious and Severus could heal it, he had no intention of doing so.

Harry walked up to Ron, and Hermione set him up on the left and on the right.

Holding Neal's shoulders, Severus walked out of the room first.Sirius followed, and Harry and Hermione helped Ron to the end.A group of people left the Shrieking Shack in such a mighty way.

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

Safely at the castle, Severus spoke. "Potter, Granger, take Weasley to the hospital wing." After speaking, Severus stood still, as if to see Harry and the others leave first.Glancing worriedly at Neil and then at Black, Harry didn't want to leave. "Not yet!" Severus raised his voice. "Gryffindor broke into the Forbidden Forest at night, and each person will deduct 20 points!"

Harry's eyes widened in dissatisfaction, and he wanted to say something.Hermione on the side pulled Harry's hand, pouted, gestured in Neil's direction, and shook her head.Glancing worriedly at Neil, who was completely out of shape, Harry managed to suppress his anger, and reluctantly took Ron away with Hermione.

"Neil." Severus' voice softened after the Gryffindor trio left. "You go back to my office first." Although the voice was much gentler, the content of Severus' words was still so strong.

Raising his head in horror, Sirius looked at a different Severus in disbelief.Then, he turned his head and looked at Neil.

Neil nodded, without looking at Black at all, he turned and walked towards the cellar.

Seeing Neil's leaving back, Sirius instantly drooped his big head.

"Follow me." Severus finished, without waiting for Black, and walked directly to Dumbledore's office.Sirius from behind grinned at Severus' back for a long time before trotting slowly to keep up.

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

Rushing back to the office, Neil ran into the bathroom.After taking off all his clothes, Neil turned on the shower and stood underneath.

Hot water rolled down Neil's hair. At this moment, Neil completely let go of his emotions.Sitting slumped on the ground, Neil hugged his knees tightly and curled up into a ball.There was water all over his face, and he didn't know if it was tears or bath water.Neil sobbed softly, his eyes were red, and his eyes were full of confusion and loneliness.

He never knew he was born under those circumstances, and he didn't dare to ask why his father wasn't there when Blake was born, in front of so many people.Until now, he still couldn't figure out what was going on with the relationship between Black and his father.But judging from the brief contact between the two of them just now, Neil, who has amazing observation skills, can be sure of one thing—the two of them are neither partners nor lovers.

Now, there are too many things that he doesn't understand in his heart. One doubt is solved, but there are more doubts.He didn't understand why Black could disregard his newborn child after giving birth, handed him over to a strange person, and dragged his unhealed body to chase the traitor; he didn't understand, when he found that the situation was wrong, Why the first reaction is not to protect his child, but to think of his friends, thus putting his child in danger; he doesn't even understand why he didn't come to him immediately when he thought he had succeeded in revenge, but caught him without a fight Let the Aurors throw him into Azkaban? !There are too many things he doesn't understand, he doesn't understand, since Black has the ability to escape from the prison, why he didn't even think about coming out to confirm when he saw the news of his death!

Yes, although he refused to admit it, this issue was what Neil cared about the most.Since he is capable of escaping from prison, why doesn't Gryffindor, who is known for his bravery, even have the courage to escape from prison to confirm the safety of his son!He can escape from the prison in order to catch the traitor!He could escape from the prison just to worry about Harry's safety!However, he never thought about escaping from the prison for his own sake!Neil didn't want to admit it, but his heart was filled with jealousy and hatred.

For so many years, he has lived so bitterly and so hard... Touching his slightly fleshy arm, Neil's mouth was full of bitterness.If it wasn't for Black's irresponsible throwing of himself to others, he wouldn't have been lying next to the trash can for so long, causing his health to remain unwell!If Blackken escaped to find himself, then he would not have lived a life of wandering for so many years!If he wasn't so selfish, Ken would tell his father the news about himself, and he wouldn't be so miserable after all these years!

At this moment, Neil had become paranoid that Sirius deliberately did not tell him the news about him because he hated Severus...

Desperately turning off the nozzle, Neil didn't wipe his body or put on his clothes, and walked out of the bathroom naked and wet.

Jumping on the bed, Neil didn't care if he would wet the sheets, pulled the quilt over his head.

Feeling the tranquility of the darkness, Neil's mood slowly calmed down.He knew that there were still so many doubts that had not been resolved, and he shouldn't just beat Black to death with such a stick.But he can't control himself!He didn't know how long it took Black to confirm his identity, but he couldn't forget that on his birthday, Black had been clinging to Harry but ignoring himself!

He admitted that he was jealous!He was madly jealous!Obviously, obviously Black is his father!That day was still his birthday!Why, why, all day long, he stuck to Harry's side without paying any attention to himself!If he really regards himself as his son, how is it possible, then treat him!That day was obviously his birthday!If he thought he was gone, then he wouldn't be sad at all!Then how could he play with Harry so heartlessly!

Thinking of this, Neil bit his lip desperately.It's not worth being sad for this kind of person!Neal was outraged.In the darkness, his eyes were wide open, his expression was full of grievance and helplessness...

☆, fever

"Severus, it's so late, what's the matter?" Surprised that Severus came to find him so late, Dumbledore came out of the bedroom wearing a nightgown full of stars. "Who is this?" At this moment, Dumbledore looked at the big black dog following Severus, and the smile on his face disappeared.With his magic power, he can naturally tell that the black dog in front of him is not a real dog but an Animagus.

Watching Dumbledore's appearance, Severus snorted.A spell hit the mouse in his hand, and after a twist, Peter Pedilu appeared in the principal's office.At the same time, Sirius Black also turned into a human form.

"Sirius? Peter?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Dumbledore suddenly understood the whole story.

Finding himself in the principal's office, Peter Pedilu's face was full of despair. "Dumbledore...Principal..." With a shy smile, Peter wanted to make a last-ditch effort.

Dumbledore's expression was serious as he glanced over Black and then at Pedilu. "That is to say, Sirius was wronged back then?"

"No! That's not the case! Principal Dumbledore! Please listen to my explanation!" Peter Pedilu still wanted to turn black and white.

Severus slammed a spell over and sealed Pedillo's mouth.Briefly narrating what happened tonight, Severus concealed the part where Sirius wanted to recognize Neil, and only told the truth of the year.Sirius was still immersed in Neil's categorical rejection just now, and he didn't slow down.

"Then, I understand." After listening to Severus' narration, Dumbledore had a look of understanding on his face.Turning his gaze to Sirius, Dumbledore's expression was full of apology, "Siris, I'm sorry for misunderstood you for so many years. I didn't defend you back then. It's my fault."

Looking at the sincere Dumbledore, Sirius shook his head blankly. "Never mind your business, Headmaster Dumbledore. In that case, I understand if you don't believe me." Sirius didn't blame Dumbledore.Back then, even Remus didn't believe in himself. How could he expect Dumbledore, who was in charge of such a large school and had so many things to worry about every day, to believe in himself unconditionally?

Looking at Severus again, Dumbledore's eyes were full of admiration. "Anyway, thank you this time, Severus. If you hadn't ignored the past, Sirius wouldn't have had the chance to clear up his grievances."

Severus tilted his head, pursing his lips.It's none of his business.If it wasn't for Neil's face, he would have killed Pediru and sent Blake to an unjust prison for the rest of his life.

Seeing Severus' reaction, Dumbledore only thought he was being awkward, and smiled kindly.For the conflict between Severus and Sirius, no one knew better than Dumbledore.Severus was so hard-spoken and soft-hearted, even when dealing with the people he hated the most, he was able to face the facts and disdain to set things up.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go first. I'll leave the rest to you, Albus." Looking back, Severus said in a firm tone.With that, Severus turned to leave.

"Wait." To Dumbledore's surprise, Sirius actually spoke. "Principal Dumbledore, can I be alone with Na-Snape?" After speaking, Sirius looked at Severus imploringly.

"There's nothing to talk about between me and you." Severus showed a malicious smile, and his eyes scanned Sirius viciously, "You'd better take care of yourself first, Dirty Black."

"You—" Sirius felt his anger welling up, "I've had enough of you today!" Sirius rushed forward and lifted Severus' collar.

"Siris!" Dumbledore stopped and stood up.Severus smirked and leaned closer to Sirius' ear. "If you have anything to say, let's wait until you recover your innocence. Idiot Blake." Severus whispered mockingly, and at the same time, pulled Sirius' hand away.Patting his collar, Severus turned to leave.

Comprehending what Severus meant, Sirius finally managed to calm down.

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

Ron's leg was just broken and nothing serious happened.After Madam Pomfrey's treatment, Ron only needed to stay in the medical wing for two days.

Sitting on the side of Ron's bed, Harry and Hermione are still a little bit stunned until now.There is simply too much information today.For Harry and Hermione, it completely subverted their three views.

"Harry." After calming down, Ron recalled his movements in the screaming shack, "Did you already know that Scabbers is not a real mouse?" Although Ron was a little careless, He wasn't really an idiot, the facts were already clearly in front of his eyes, so he wouldn't be unable to react.

"I'm sorry, Ron." Harry bowed his head, regret written all over his face. "Because Ban Ban had already run away when we found out, we didn't dare to tell you, for fear of irritating you."

"It's okay, Harry." Ron shook his head with lingering fear, and said through gritted teeth, "I should be the one to say sorry. I didn't expect Scabbers to be the real traitor, and we let him stay in our house for so long." for many years!"

"Anyway." Hermione cut in, "Just catch the real traitor. Then your parents will rest in peace." Hermione took Harry's hand as she said.

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Harry nodded heavily, "I don't know, how is Neil doing now..." As he said that, worry appeared on Harry's face.

"It's unbelievable." Hearing Harry's emotion, Hermione's expression was also filled with disbelief.

"What's so strange about that." Ron didn't know anything about Neil, and he didn't know anything about the relationship between Snape and Black.For this matter, he did not find it strange. "It's quite normal for wizards to have children among wizards." Ron was quite familiar with such common sense issues.

After hearing Ron's words, Harry didn't speak.Harry had a vague understanding of what happened to Neil when he was a child.And from the words of Black and Neil just now, Harry can also see a thing or two.However, Harry was still confused about the truth of the matter.

Now Harry was full of worries about Neil.He didn't know whether Neil could accept this sudden news; he also didn't know what Neil thought of Blake's father who appeared out of nowhere.All of this, he doesn't know.But now, he can't do anything, he can only sit here and worry.

Thinking of this, Harry secretly made up his mind.Tomorrow morning, go to Slytherin to block Neil!

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

Walking out of the principal's office, Severus sighed wearily.Everything today is full of chaos.He didn't expect that Pediru would throw himself into the trap under such circumstances, nor did he think that under such circumstances, Neil would know the fact that he tried every means to hide him... Moreover, he didn't figure it out either. , How on earth did Blake recognize Neil...Obviously, Neil looks so much like him, but he has nothing in common with him, except for his eyes... All of these things have disturbed him plan of……

With long strides, Severus walked straight towards the cellar.His mind was running fast, thinking about what to do now...

First of all, it is inevitable for Black to clear up his grievances. With Pediru in his hands, Dumbledore must have a way to restore Black's reputation... Then, after Black regains his innocence, how to deal with the relationship between Black and Neil? The relationship between them became the most troublesome thing for Severus...

Moreover, the most depressing thing for Severus is that now, he still has something in Black's hands... No matter what, he can't let Neil know that he was the one who forced Black to have Neil ... Therefore, he can't roughly stop Black and prevent him from contacting Neil...

Although Severus really wanted to kill Pediru in his heart, so that Black could never get rid of his grievances, but the situation at that time did not allow him to do so... Besides, Black is Neal's father after all... Although I hate him very much, but Neil is innocent... Besides, I feel sorry for him...

As for after Black's reputation is restored, I have to talk to him alone, and reach a condition with him, so that he will not reveal the past... Severus carefully calculated how to negotiate with Black at that time, In order to achieve the conditions that are most beneficial to him...

The thought of being blackmailed by Black made Severus feel extremely uncomfortable.However, even if he was extremely unwilling, Severus still had to bite the bullet and negotiate with Black... Who told him that he was also a provider of half of Neil's blood... No matter what Severus thought about this point, There is no way to erase it...

Pushing open the door of the office, a faint green light was burning quietly, very quiet.Severus frowned and strode towards the bedroom.

Entering the bedroom, Severus saw the bed bulge.Walking softly to the bed, Severus pulled the blanket over Neilmont's head.Neil had fallen asleep.His body was curled up, his face was wrinkled, his nose was red, and there was still a line of tears on his face.Perhaps because of being too hot under the quilt, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

Severus frowned distressedly, took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket, and wanted to wipe the sweat stains on Neil's forehead.

Putting his hand on Neil's face, Severus turned pale with shock.The hot temperature in his palm clearly told him one thing - Neil has a fever!

☆, fever ([-])

When he woke up, Neil only felt dizzy.Sitting up from the bed with difficulty, Neil saw Severus sitting on the sofa beside the bed with a straight face.

"Father..." Neil said, his voice hoarse.Rubbing his temples, Neil only felt his head throbbing and hurting badly.This is... I have a cold?Looking at Severus not far away, Neil shrank back a little guilty.

Seeing Neil sitting up, Severus made a tense face, sat on the edge of the bed with a big stride, pulled up the quilt roughly, and wrapped it tightly around Neil's shoulders.It was only then that Neil realized that in his sleep, he was wearing pajamas, and he knew whose masterpiece it was without thinking.Neil's face flushed slightly.

Wrapping Neil up, Severus picked up the potion he'd been brewing all night and left beside his bed. "Drink it." Pulling off the cork, Severus pushed the mouth of the bottle to Neil's mouth.

Seeing Severus' ferocious look, Neil didn't dare to move, with a bitter face, he took Severus' hand and drank the potion 'Gudong Gudong' in one gulp.

After making sure that Neil had finished the medicine, Severus pulled the pillow off the bed and let Neil lean on it.It was only then that Neil noticed that the sheets on the bed had also been replaced with a new set.

Recalling how stupid he was last night, Neil sighed in annoyance, but the expression on his face became tense.It's so lax!

Putting the potion bottle on the bedside table, Severus picked up the chicken porridge that was set aside.Feeling the temperature of the bowl, taking a spoonful, Severus put the spoon by Neil's mouth.

"Eat!" Severus' tone was stiff.He really didn't want to talk to Nildo now, because he was afraid that he would be unable to restrain himself and control the anger in his heart.

Opening his mouth, Neil swallowed the porridge on the spoon.The temperature of the porridge was just right, and it was soft. Neil felt his whole body warm up all of a sudden.

While drinking the porridge, Neil blamed himself in his heart.How could I do such a stupid thing!And made myself sick!Tired father followed worry late at night.At this moment, Neil's heart was full of guilt.He already has such a good father, why should he be greedy for the other half?If I hadn't expected him before, I wouldn't feel hurt now!All this is my own fault!Obviously, when he first met his father, he still blamed him so much, and even pushed the mistakes that belonged to that man onto his father!However, under his father's pampering, he has changed... Thinking about it now, Neil blames himself extremely!How could he ignore Black's harm to him because of his father's doting on him, and still have delusions that shouldn't be there? !Obviously, I have hated him for so many years for his irresponsible behavior, how can I forget all these because my father treats me well? !He is not the father!How can I greedily want to get more love, and think that he has difficulties? !All of this is my own fault!It's what I deserve that made me sick!

Severus didn't stop until the bowl had bottomed out. "Lie down!" commanded Severus, placing the bowl on the bedside table.When Neil lay down obediently, Severus reached out and stroked his forehead.Severus was taken aback when he found out that Neil had a fever. Fortunately, it was not a serious problem. Thinking that the medical wing must be in a panic at this time, Severus did not send Neil to the hospital. Instead, he took care of him and treated him himself.This night, Severus fed Neil several potions, and now the temperature finally dropped.

Neil squeezed the quilt, and Severus' frowning relaxed slightly. "Sleep!" With that, Severus got into bed on the other side.After a moment of hesitation, Severus moved towards the center.Pulling Neil into his arms, Severus closed his eyes.After staying up all night, Severus also felt a little tired at this time...

Feeling the warm warmth surrounding him, Neil's heart felt soft.Unconsciously, he rubbed against Severus' arm, and Neil, who felt his head was heavy, fell asleep all of a sudden...

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

Upon waking up, Neil just felt refreshed and completely rejuvenated.At this point, Severus was no longer in the bedroom.Coming out of the bathroom, Neil put on his official wizard robe, and tiptoed out of the bedroom.

Pushing open the bedroom door, Neil took a few steps and stood still.Severus was sitting on the desk at this moment, looking at Neil with dark eyes.

"Father, I'm sorry." Neil lowered his head, his voice full of guilt, "I shouldn't be willful and make myself sick."

Severus was stunned, and all the words he wanted to curse were choked in his throat by Neil's apology.Taking a deep breath, Severus forced himself to be cruel. "You also know that you are wrong? Like a brainless goblin who encounters a little problem and only knows to shrink into the hole in fear? Even if the goblin can hide, it will not be stupid enough to deliberately ruin its own body! You even the goblin No way! I'm so disappointed!" Severus' tone was sharp and merciless.

"It's my fault..." With his head drooping, Neil looked sleepy.He also knew that this time he was wrong.He was just so excited that he forgot for a moment that he needed to wipe himself with a towel after taking a shower.After all, in his previous life, taking a bath was a luxury for him.When old Jeff was around, in summer, old Jeff would take him to take a bath every five or six days, while in winter, he only had a chance to take a bath once every half a month.When old Jeff was gone, he was more lucky in the matter of taking a bath.It would be better if the place where you live can take a bath, but if you can't take a bath in the place where you live, then he can think of a way in summer, but in winter, he can only do it next to each other.Therefore, for so many years, Neil has not developed a good habit of taking a bath.Yesterday, Neil was also too emotional. For a moment, he forgot that he needed to wipe his body after taking a shower.Unexpectedly, with his hair wet and stuffy under the quilt, coupled with his intense emotions yesterday, and having been to such a gloomy place like the screaming booth, Neil, who was already in poor health, caught a cold all of a sudden. "I will definitely pay attention in the future."

Seeing Neil's sincere confession, Severus managed to suppress his anger.After ordering the ten potion formulas on the table, Severus said coldly, "One copy ten times."

Taking a few steps forward, Neil picked up the formula on the table and looked at it carefully.Among these formulas, some potions were mentioned in the textbooks, but there were some differences in the operation methods; some were never heard of by Neil before.

Taking a peek at Severus, Neil put the recipe away.To Neil, this punishment was nothing at all, and it could even be said to be enjoyed.Aware of his father's soft-spoken and soft-hearted again, the corners of Neil's mouth rose slightly.

"Father." Neil stood in front of the table, hesitating for a while.Making up his mind, Neil raised his head, and his momentum changed accordingly. "Is Black really, the provider of my other half blood?" Neil's eyes were a little stubborn as he stared at Severus.Today, he made up his mind that some questions must be answered.

Looking deeply at Neil standing in front of him with a stubborn face, who would not give up until he got an answer, Severus sighed slightly. "Yes." Finally, Severus nodded slowly.This was the first time he had admitted to Neal the identity of that bastard Black.Although he wanted to deny it, Severus also knew that he couldn't hide it from Neil.

"Then—" Neil paused, carefully considering his words. "Father, your relationship with him—"

"I have nothing to do with him." Before Neil finished speaking, Severus cut him off.He couldn't take it, put him with that Blake.

Neil's eyes darkened. "Then—why do I exist?" After wandering for so long, looking at Severus who was cold but actually very gentle in front of him, Neil finally couldn't help asking the deepest doubt in his heart.Since the relationship between father and that person is so bad?Why does it still exist? !Neil held this question in his heart for a long time, but he couldn't think of an answer.

Severus was silent.He didn't know how to answer this question.He would never tell Neil the truth.However, he didn't want to lie to him either.In the end, he just replied evasively: "No matter what, Neil, you will always be my son."

Hearing Severus block his question back, Neal was a little sulky.However, he wasn't too disappointed. The various manifestations of Severus had already shown that he probably wouldn't get an answer to this question.

His eyes darkened, and Neil's face was calm. "Father, I'm going back to the dormitory to pack my things." After speaking, Neil turned and left without waiting for Severus' answer.

When the office door closed, Severus let out a wry smile, his straight back bent.Burying his face in his palms, Severus felt helpless.This is his sin... He knows what Neil wants... But, he can't do it... He can't provide Neil with a complete family... Letting him and Black live together is simply killing him It's even harder for him... Now, the only thing he can do is, treat Neil better, better...

Outside the door, Neil did not leave directly as usual.Leaning against the door, Neil's face was full of disappointment.Today, he finally plucked up the courage to ask... But, there was no progress... I don't know if his father is too experienced. In short, he didn't get any new news... It seems that he has to think of another way...

☆, summer vacation

This year, in the Quidditch match, Slytherin won the Quidditch trophy because Slytherin won Gryffindor.Naturally, the House Cup once again fell into the hands of Slytherin.

After a brief celebration, the Hogwarts students all embarked on their journey home, and the Hogwarts Express was once again packed with people.

Declining Dylan's invitation, Neil walked into Draco's box.Dylan had a lot of first years in Slytherin now, and he wasn't interested in being a foil to the past.

"Neil, are you okay?" Harry took Ron and Hermione to find him after the train had left for a short time. "Finally found you!" Before, Harry, who was worried about Neil's mood, tried to wait for Neil in the cellar area, but, perhaps because of bad luck, he didn't see Neil.As for the letter written to Neil, Neil did not reply.Harry, who was in a hurry, didn't care about it. Once he got on the train, he searched for one private room after another.

"Come in first." Neil frowned. Since he was sick, Severus had received Harry's letter for him. Naturally, it was impossible for him to reply.Neil originally wanted to find a way to contact Harry after he got home, but who knew, Harry came here so eagerly.Pretending to be inadvertent, he glanced at Draco, who had a somewhat astonished expression, and Neil knew that at this moment, his background problems probably couldn't be concealed from Draco.

After closing the door of the box, Neil signaled the Gryffindor trio to sit down.Draco got up and sat on Neil's side. "I'm fine." Neil didn't want them to know that he was sick because of such a trivial matter. "It's just that I was at my father's place when I received your letter. It's inconvenient."

After hearing Neil's explanation, Harry showed a terrified expression.When he thought of Professor Snape, he felt extremely horrified.

"Neil? Then do you know what happened to Blake?" As soon as he sat down, Ron couldn't wait to ask, "Will he be able to recover his innocence? Has Peter been arrested?" Because Peter is actually Scabbers. It made Ron sick
