[HP] Father?dad!

Dumbledore looked at him in bewilderment. "How should I pull it out?" Sirius asked stupidly.

Severus scowled softly, but said nothing.Dumbledore's voice was full of encouragement. "Just put the hat on your head."

Sensing the implicit encouragement in Dumbledore's words, Sirius nodded heavily, took the hat, and put it on his head.

Sir Lisbon thought the Sorting Hat would have a big reaction, but unexpectedly, a heavy object hit him on the head.

"Ouch!" Sirius groaned in pain, grabbing his hat off.With this grasp, Sirius noticed the difference in the hat - the originally soft Sorting Hat became hard inside now, obviously containing something.Stretching his hand into the sorting hat, Sirius touched the hilt of a sword, and with a heavy pull, an extremely sharp sword was pulled out of the sorting hat by Sirius.

"What should we do now?" Standing in front of the Horcrux, even Sirius was a little nervous.Although he liked the Gryffindor sword very much, Sirius didn't take the time to observe the Gryffindor sword carefully at this time.Looking at Dumbledore, Sirius asked suspiciously.

"Aim at the Horcrux, and take away the Gryffindor sword." These words, Dumbledore said with full momentum.

After listening to Dumbledore's words, Sirius took a deep breath, took two steps forward, and walked to the closet.Looking at the golden locket beside Jeda, a trace of blood came to Sirius' eyes.It was this damn thing that killed his younger brother!With blood rushing up, Sirius raised his sword and was about to slap him hard.

Suddenly, a puff of smoke came out of the locket, and a figure appeared in front of Sirius.

"James..." The tip of the sword stopped less than one centimeter away from the locket, Sirius was a little dazed looking at the figure of James in front of him.

"Sirius, are you going to kill me..." A snow-white James rose from the locket and swayed from side to side. "You have killed me once, are you going to kill me a second time..."

"Brother, I don't want to die..." Suddenly, another figure emerged from the locket. "Brother, save me...Brother, why do you never talk to me..." It was Regulus' figure.

No... no... that's not the case... Sirius' hands trembled violently, terrified.Looking at James in front of him, Sirius looked pained and couldn't move.

"Sirius, stab it down!" Suddenly, a stern voice echoed in Sirius' ears, "That's not true!"

Sirius shook his hand, and the tip of the sword stabbed straight at the locket.The locket let out a high-pitched whine and crumbled to pieces.

The phantom disappeared.Sirius just felt drenched in sweat.Wiping the sweat from his brow, Sirius took a step back holding the Gryffindor sword.

"Well done, Sirius." Dumbledore stepped forward, praised Sirius, and picked up the fragments of the locket.

"Can you give me this, Albus?" Suddenly, Severus said, with a look of regret mixed with an unspeakable emotion in his eyes. "It's a Slytherin locket after all."

"Of course, Severus." After finishing the Horcrux, Dumbledore returned to the state of a kind grandfather again.With a benign smile, Dumbledore handed the fragment of the locket to Severus.

"Master avenged Master Regulus..." Suddenly, Kreacher appeared in front of everyone, "Kreacher apologizes, Kreacher shouldn't have said that about Master before..." The house elf was hoarse and emotional, " The master is finally able to support the Black family..."

Every time Sirius saw Kreacher, he was not in a good mood, and this was the first time that he was praised bluntly by Kreacher.Embarrassedly waving his hand, Sirius tried his best to look like nothing.

"I am also a member of this family, Kreacher." Looking at Jedda in the closet, Sirius had a trace of pain in his eyes.After all, when he turned into a dog, he had a good relationship with Jeda. "Give me a box, Kreacher. I'm going to bury Jeda."

"Okay, master, I'm already ready!" After saying that, Kreacher disappeared.Two seconds later, Kreacher appeared in front of everyone again. "Master, this is the box you want." Kreacher handed Sirius a rectangular willow coffin that was just big enough to fit Jedda.

Sirius reached out and took the coffin from Kreacher. "Go down first, Kreacher."

"Yes, Master!" With a 'snap', Kreacher disappeared before everyone's eyes.

"Albus, can you hold it for me?" Turning around, Sirius waved the Gryffindor sword in his other hand.

"Of course." Dumbledore took two steps forward and took the sword from Sirius.

Sirius turned around again, and at this moment, Severus also took two steps forward, walking beside Sirius.Carefully waving his wand and doing a series of tests, after confirming that there was no danger, Severus used his wand to direct Jedda's body to fly gently into the small coffin and lie down.

After closing the coffin, Sirius spoke softly. "Let's go back."

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

Back in the principal's office again, Sirius was still a little out of his wits.Although in the end, Sirius stabbed down with the sword, the sudden scene just now really gave Sirius a strong stimulus.At this moment, Sirius's mind was full of James who died suddenly and Rael who died at an unknown time, and his face was pale.

Severus secretly looked at Sirius' face from an imperceptible angle, but didn't say a word.Sitting down, Severus looked at Dumbledore gravely. "Albus, what do we do next?" One of us, subtly emphasizing Severus' reluctance to stay out of it. "The most urgent thing is that we should determine how many Horcruxes the Dark Lord has and where they are."

With a wave of Dumbledore's wand, three glasses of honey water appeared on the table.Picking up the cup in front of him, Dumbledore took a big sip before speaking. "Severus, think about it, did Voldemort bestow any Death Eater Dark Lord items?"

Severus thought about it carefully, his eyes lit up. "I was in front of Malfoy when the Dark Lord gave Malfoy the notebook. I also remember that he gave Bellatrix a golden cup at the same time."

A distinct smile appeared on Dumbledore's aged face. "Then that golden cup is probably also a Horcrux. Do you know where Bellatrix hid the golden cup?"

Severus shook his head. "I can ask." Severus pursed his lips, and then spoke. "What about the total number of Horcruxes?" Severus felt a little shudder at the thought of the Dark Lord's crazy creation of far more than one Horcrux.

"This question, maybe someone knows..."

"Who is it?" Reluctant to let Dumbledore circle around such an important issue, Severus' eyes were sharp and his tone was firm.

Dumbledore looked at Severus' face, smiled helplessly, and took a step back.At this time, both Severus and Sirius knew about the Horcrux, and since there was no point in concealing it, Dumbledore simply revealed it. "Your former Potions master, Slughorn."

"Him?" Severus was a little surprised, not knowing why this matter had something to do with Slughorn.

Seeing Severus' doubts, Dumbledore explained leisurely. "Slughorn was also Voldemort's professor. Back then, Voldemort was still his excellent student."

I see.After listening to Dumbledore's explanation, Severus showed a dazed look.

"Leave Slughorn to me, don't worry." Dumbledore continued.

Nodding, Severus stood up. "If you find anything new, please let me know as soon as possible." Looking at Dumbledore, Severus looked serious.

Dumbledore was stunned at first, then nodded dumbfounded. "Of course, my child."

Severus frowned, somewhat uncomfortable with Dumbledore's 'child'.After getting an affirmative answer, Severus didn't say any more, and turned to leave.Seeing Severus leave, Sirius finally came to his senses.

"I'm leaving too, Albus." After speaking, Sirius took a big sip from the water glass on the table, and then left.

Before, Dumbledore was worried that as Severus and Sirius approached, he would forget Lily, which would affect his position, but today's incident made Dumbledore completely relieved.It also made Dumbledore quite happy to take such a big step forward in dealing with Voldemort.

Looking at the empty office, Dumbledore showed a loving smile... Sirius is a good boy... Severus should also find his own happiness...

☆, hug

Back in the office, Severus looked at Sirius still in a daze, curled his lips impatiently.Hypnotizing himself in his heart because he didn't want to let Neal, who would be sad when he came back to see Jedah's body, worry about his father who didn't grow up, Severus reluctantly opened his mouth. "Reculus' death is none of your business."

"What?" Sirius raised his head abruptly, his eyes flickering with deep confusion. "Why do you say that?"

Severus snorted helplessly, but continued with his topic. "You're just Regulus' brother, not the savior. You couldn't stop Regulus from choosing to be a Death Eater, and then he realized that the Dark Lord... wanted to destroy him. You didn't even know about it, It cannot be changed.”

Sitting on the sofa dejectedly, Sirius lowered his head. "I know..." Sirius murmured, barely audible to the low Severus. "I'm just blaming myself. I never knew him before..."

Hearing this, Severus scoffed coldly. "There's not a single Slytherin you've ever seriously known."

Sirius raised his head angrily, and wanted to say something, but looking at Severus' cold side face, Sirius was at a loss for words - he had to admit that what Severus said was not nonsense - thinking of the previous His reaction to Walburger's portrait when he left Black's house, and thinking of the Severus he saw during this period of contact with Severus, which was completely different from what he imagined, Sirius looked confused—perhaps, he didn't Knowing his younger brother, his parents, but also the man in front of him...

"Crack——" There was a sudden sound of opening the door.Severus looked at Sirius seriously. "Neil is back, cheer up."

Sirius nodded, rubbed his face, and stood up.He is already a father - what he should do now is to find a way to comfort his beloved son, instead of sitting here and mourning the age!

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

As soon as Neil entered the door, he noticed the unusual atmosphere between his parents.Glancing at Sirius, who was trying to cheer himself up, and Severus, who was pursing his lips unnaturally, Neil's eyes fell on the small black coffin on the desk.Realizing that his parents had solved the Horcrux, Neil was relieved first, and then felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Staggering, Neil walked to the desk, staring at the small coffin lying on the table with fixed eyes.It was a pure black wooden coffin with intricate patterns carved on it.Neil just stared at the coffin in front of him, his eyes were empty.After a long time, Neil finally stretched out his hand and gently opened the coffin lid.

Sirius tried to move forward, but was held back by Severus.Sirius looked at Severus suspiciously, and Severus shook his head slightly at him with a serious expression.Although he didn't understand why, Sirius still stopped in his tracks and stood aside, looking worriedly at Neil who was in pain.

Jeda curled up and lay on her side inside the coffin.Its eyes were closed tightly, and it no longer had the active coquettishness when it was awake.Neil's eyes were wide open—two lines of tears flowed silently from Neil's eye sockets.

After a long time, Neil turned over and wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve.After closing the coffin, Neil gently carried the coffin into his arms.

Raising his head, Neil looked gloomy. "Father, can I bury Yeda in the yard of my house?"

Severus looked at Neil standing in front of him.A year and a half later, Neil is much taller than before.Seeing the hidden begging in Neil's eyes, Severus sighed slightly in his heart. He knew that the death of Jedah had brought a great blow to Neil.Although he and Neil didn't get along day and night, Severus knew how much Neil cared about Jedah. "Of course." Severus replied, taking a step forward and wrapping his arms around Neil's shoulders.

When the figures of the father and son disappeared into the office, Sirius followed without saying a word, and also stepped into the fireplace.

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

There was a small flower garden in the backyard of Snape's house, which used to be deserted because Severus seldom came home.Since Neil came to Snape's house, in order to train Neil's ability to identify herbs, this flower garden has since become Neil's territory.

Pushing open the side door of Snape's house, Neil slowly stepped into the medicine garden.Looking at the thriving garden, Neil walked straight to the only open space in the yard without looking away.Kneeling down, Neil waved his wand—the ground slowly split open, and a hole just enough to hold Jedah's coffin appeared before Neil's eyes.

Putting his wand on the ground within easy reach, Neil bent down and gently placed Jeda's coffin in the hole.Gazing deeply at the coffin, Neil picked up his wand and waved it around. The coffin sank little by little, and the land was filled again until it was the same as before.

Neil did not erect a tombstone for Jada.This position, he will never forget—Jeda is dead, but it will live in his heart forever, only in his heart forever.

Turning around, Neil immediately saw his parents standing side by side in front of the door and looking at him worriedly.I don't know why, at this moment, in front of them, Neil doesn't want to pretend or force himself at all.With the corners of his mouth drooping, Neil walked slowly in front of them.

This time, Sirius took the first step and grabbed Neil.Severus twitched the corners of his mouth, and lowered the arm he had just raised without a trace.

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

Back at the potions office again, three steaming dinners were already in the room.Sirius asked Neil to sit down first, and then took his own seat.

Neil wanted to go back to the dormitory after eating dinner without taste.

"Stay here today." Sirius said.At this moment, Sirius was worried that Neil would go back and stay alone. "Just be with Dad, okay?" Sirius deliberately made an excuse for fearing that Neil would lose face.

Neil was dumbfounded, and some didn't react.

"Don't go back today." Severus followed suit.Although Neil seemed to be doing well, as Neil's father, how could Severus fail to see the sadness that Neil was holding back at this time.At this time, like Sirius, he wanted to be with his son.

Neil never objected to what Severus said, and this time was no exception.Nodding his head, Neil spoke in a low voice. "Then I'll go to bed first, father, father." After finishing speaking, Neil got off the table and walked to the bedroom.

Sirius and Severus looked at each other - at this time, it was evening, neither of them expected that Neil would ask for bed so early.

"Why don't I go in and take a look?" Sirius looked at Severus worriedly.

Severus shook his head. "Give Neil some space to be alone." He knew that at this moment, what Neil needed was not comfort, but a space where he could heal alone.

Although a little puzzled, Sirius nodded.He knew that Severus must be doing it for Neil's good. He thought some behaviors were good, but as a Slytherin, Neil didn't necessarily think so. Therefore, in terms of his attitude towards Neil, Sirius generally Will follow Severus' advice.

It's just—Sirius cast his eyes on the closed bedroom door—at this moment, it turns out that what Slytherins generally need is solitude, not company...

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

Coming out of the bathroom, Neil lay listlessly on the bed.Burying Yeda took a lot of Neil's energy. At this moment, he only felt lazy and bored.

Suddenly, there was a numbness from the soles of his feet. Neil subconsciously thought that Yeda was licking his feet. He shrank his legs and raised his hand. Neil suddenly realized that Yeda, who had been with him growing up, was no longer there... lightly With a soft smile, Neil pulled up the quilt to cover his face, and closed his eyes.

Neal just felt the pain in his heart.Although Yeda is just a little cat, in his heart, he is no different from his family.When he first entered the wizarding world and was anxious, it was the young Jeda who accompanied him; when he first came into contact with his father and was confused and afraid, it was the warm Jeda who comforted him; When under pressure, it was Yeda who accompanied him to train hard. He knew that he was not alone on this road...but he didn't protect it...he actually let his good friend stay at home. A miserable death in a warm place...

Go to sleep... wake up and it's a new day...

……

After sitting outside absentmindedly for more than an hour, Sirius couldn't bear it any longer and stood up.No, he wants to go in and see how his little Neil is doing!Will he hide behind their backs and cry secretly under the covers?Thinking of this, Sirius couldn't bear it anymore, and walked towards the bedroom.

"Wait." Severus called out suddenly, stopping Sirius.

Sirius stopped and turned his head.

"Slower your steps." To Sirius' surprise, Severus stopped him not as he thought to stop him, but just to remind him.Nodding his head, Sirius cast a silencing spell on himself before gently pushing open the bedroom door.

After taking a few steps and coming to the bed, Sirius was surprised to find that Neil was not crying or venting in the room as he thought, but was lying in the middle of the bed, soundly asleep.Sitting gently on the left side of the bed, Sirius looked at Neil distressedly.In his sleep, Neil's face was pale and his brows were tightened.

Sirius raised his hand, trying to smooth Neil's brow, but halfway through, Sirius retracted it.He didn't want to recklessly wake up Neil who had finally fallen asleep.Taking off his coat, Sirius lay lightly on the bed, wrapping one arm around Neil.Closing his eyes, it didn't take long for Sirius to fall into a dream.

……

Outside, Severus was rarely able to concentrate on other things.After finally dealing with the Horcrux matter, Severus let go of the nerves that had been tense for a long time, and he felt a little tired all of a sudden.What's more, Severus is also very worried about Neil's emotions. He knows that Neil regards Yeda as his family, and Yeda's death is a great blow to Neil.After hesitating for a moment, Severus simply put away the homework on the table and returned to the bedroom early.

Sensing the entry of another person, Sirius opened his eyes in a daze.Severus first stretched out his hand and touched Neil's face, making sure that he was in good health before lying down.

Sirius blinked his eyes and realized it all at once - this was the first time he had seen Severus in bed while awake.Seeing Severus staring ferociously into the eyes of his hand, Sirius subconsciously withdrew his hand. Seeing Sirius' movement, Severus hooked the corners of his mouth proudly, and hugged the sleeping Neil— ——Neil is his son, even if he wants to comfort him, it's not for this stupid dog!

The demonstrators glanced at Sirius, and Severus closed his eyes.This time, Sirius, who was half asleep and half awake, completely woke up.Seeing Severus' helpless behavior, Sirius was rather annoyed, but he didn't dare to make any movements to wake Neil.After staring at Severus's tightly closed eyes for two seconds, Sirius leaned toward the gallbladder, stretched his hands forward, and held Severus in his arms - in this way, Neil returned to Sirius's arms again. In my arms... hum!Tell you to grab Neil with me!

Severus went stiff.He stared in disbelief, staring blankly at Sirius' chin in his sight.He was angry and wanted to push Sirius away, but considering Neal in his arms, Severus didn't dare to make the slightest move.

Feeling the cool temperature of his hands, which was different from Neil's, Sirius bowed his head with blood, only then did he realize what a fool he had done.For a moment, Sirius only felt that his cheeks were flushed and his hands trembled slightly.

Listening to Neil's sweet breath in his arms, Sirius ignored his strangeness, and closed his eyes like an ostrich—whatever!Anyway, Neil is mine, don't try to snatch it from me!

Feeling the breathing in his ears gradually becoming calmer, Severus twitched the corners of his mouth, and gradually relaxed his whole body.Blake is worthy of being a stupid dog, he can fall asleep like this!Even though he thought so, the drowsiness caused by the continuous days of sleepless nights quickly overwhelmed Severus... Consciousness gradually became hazy, half asleep and half awake, Severus felt that this embrace seemed to be Not that annoying...

☆, treasure

After that, Neil returned to normal, and never mentioned Jedda in front of other people, and the others also learned to stop asking this question.

In a blink of an eye, it was February.As the second game approached, Harry gradually became tense.However, since he had already thought of a way to pass the second match, Harry's mood was relatively stable on the whole.

February [-]th.

On this day, after Neil handed the naan grass to Harry in the library, he left in a hurry.For the past two days, he has been busy brewing potions, so his whereabouts have become elusive.

As soon as he entered the lobby, Neil was stopped.Stopping in his tracks, Neil turned his head in doubt.

"Senior... Senior." It was a first-year Hufflepuff who stopped him. "This is from the principal..." After finishing speaking, the junior thrust one into Neil's hand, and ran away relieved.

Neil touched his face, dumbfounded—is he so scary?Shaking his head, Neil opened the note in his hand.

Let yourself go to the principal's office?After reading the note, Neil was stunned.At this time, go to the principal's office, what will happen?Neil's head was spinning rapidly - no, it was because of the treasure in the second game, right?At this moment, Neil could only think of this possibility—then, he is Harry's treasure?Thinking of this, Neil stopped walking towards the principal's office.Do you want to go by yourself?

Neil hesitated.

Although he has a very good relationship with Harry, if he becomes a treasurer, it means telling everyone that he is the most important in Harry's mind-this will have an impact on his situation in Slytherin ?After thinking for a while, Neil shook his head - no.The current self is no longer the self of a year ago - the current self is the son of the head of Slytherin, and he has strong magic power and good performance - such a self already has the capital to choose his own circle of friends instead of won't be interfered by others——

So what about Voldemort?Hearing from Harry, Voldemort may still be resurrected in the end - if he goes, it is tantamount to announcing to the world that he is on Harry's side - if Voldemort is really resurrected, he will be in Slater Will Lin's situation be affected by this——

Of course it would—Neil came to that conclusion in frustration.Moreover, if Voldemort is really resurrected, he may be in danger because of it...

So, to go, or not to go?Neil hesitated...

In the end, Neal decided—to go!I don't know that Voldemort's resurrection is a matter of the year of the monkey, so I can't shrink back because of the disappearance!Besides, although he doesn't like Principal Dumbledore very much, he knows that both his father and father are on the side of Principal Dumbledore—since he has received the letter, it means that he must have been rewarded for making him a treasure. Father agrees!In this way, then I have nothing to hesitate...

Thinking of this, Neil strode towards the principal's office.

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

At this moment, in the principal's office, two people were arguing fiercely.

"Albus, how could you let Neil be Potter's treasure!" Severus had already prepared for Neil to be Potter's treasure, but he did not expect that Dumbledore would actually be Potter's treasure! Let Neil do Potter's treasure instead of choosing Potter's significant other. "Have you ever thought about the consequences of this! He is still a child! If the Dark Lord returns—"

"Calm down, Severus." Dumbledore said gently, looking at Severus who was burning with anger. "Listen to my explanation."

There was such a powerful reassuring force in Dumbledore's words that Severus fell silent.Seeing this, Dumbledore put his hands together and spoke softly. "Severus, have you ever wondered what Neil would do if Voldemort really came back?"

Hearing this, Severus' heart tightened, and he glared at Dumbledore. "Albus, I'm already yours, don't let my son also—"

"Of course, of course." Dumbledore interrupted Severus, sounding reassuring. "So, in fact, Neil's being a treasure is only good for him, and there is no harm, right? If Voldemort is really resurrected, then Neil can attack and retreat." Speaking of this, Dumbledore paused. "Severus, you're just messing around if you care."

Of course, Severus understood Dumbledore's subtext - if Neil wanted to join the Dark Lord at that time, it could be said that he was ordered to approach Potter deliberately; if he wanted to stay away from the Dark Lord, as Potter's treasure, Neil In the Order of the Phoenix, it is easier not to be influenced by oneself, and to get better treatment-but, can't Neil, can't he avoid this mess...

"You should know, Severus." Dumbledore looked straight at Severus, "Neil, as your son, he can't stay out of it. If the Dark Lord really makes a comeback, on the bright side, he The only choice is to follow your path or break with you."

Severus nodded, but said nothing.He knew that this was Dumbledore's best consideration for himself—at least, he didn't ask Neil to follow in his footsteps and become a double agent, but promised that if Neil didn't want to join the catering The Death Eater, even if he betrayed him blatantly, he would still provide protection for his son—of course, he knew that Neil would not be willing to be a Death Eater—as for the Dark Lord, he had his own way to explain ... At most, it's just a little bit of suffering, that's all... Ever since he knew about the Horcrux, Severus no longer doubted that the Dark Lord might be resurrected.

"Dong dong dong..." At this moment, a series of footsteps came from outside the principal's room, and Severus and Dumbledore ended the conversation tacitly.

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

By the time Neil came to the principal's office, several others had already arrived.Neil was a little surprised to see that Hermione was actually there—and then Neil thought of the gossip Harry had told him—that Hermione was Krum's dance partner at the Christmas ball, and he knew it well.And a little sister who looks very similar to Furong is naturally Furong's treasure.The last Chinese girl, without a doubt, Cedric's treasure.

In just a split second, Neil had a clear look at the situation in the principal's office.

"Principal Dumbledore." Neil greeted politely, "——Professor Snape." In public, Neil always pays attention to how he addresses Severus.However, seeing Severus here proved his guess was correct, and Neil let go of his worries.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Dumbledore opened his mouth to explain. "Tomorrow is the second item of the Triwizard Tournament. The content of the second item is that the warriors need to go down to the Black Lake to find their treasures. After the test of the Goblet of Fire, the four of you are the treasures of the warriors—— , Gabriel corresponds to Fleur, Hermione corresponds to Viktor, Cho corresponds to Cedric, and Neil corresponds to Harry." Because Dumbledore cast a language-changing spell on himself before speaking, Gabriel Can also understand what he said.

Hearing this, the other three people's eyes widened, and only then did they realize why they were called here.

The other three, all Hogwarts students, responded fine, while Gabriel screamed in terror. "Where's Madame Maxime? Why isn't she here? If she isn't here, I won't follow any of your arrangements!" Gabriel spoke French, and the others were at a loss.

Dumbledore smiled reassuringly at Gabriel, and handed Gabriel a bag of sweets. "Don't be afraid, child. Madam Maxim is delayed by something, and she will come right away." As soon as the words finished, Madam Maxim pushed open the door of the principal's office.

"Madam!" As soon as Gabriel saw Madam Maxim, she rushed into her arms excitedly.

On the other end, Hermione spoke. "So Headmaster Dumbledore, how are we going to stay underwater for so long?"

"Don't worry about that." Dumbledore blinked playfully. "Our Severus brewed the potion for everyone. As long as you drink it, you will fall into a deep sleep. When you wake up again, it will be after being rescued by the warrior." Speaking of this, Dumbledore He corrected his expression. "Don't worry, this potion can not only guarantee you to sleep underwater, but also protect your body from the cold water and prevent you from getting sick."

Hearing that Dumbledore had considered all the issues, the others stopped talking.Out of trust in the school, everyone has no opinion.Gabriel also calmed down after being comforted by Mrs. Maxim, and accepted the task of being her sister's treasure.

"Then, Severus." After everyone agreed, Dumbledore said, "Please give the potion to some young warriors."

Severus took out four bottles of potions from his arms and handed them to the four people in front of him.Watching Neil uncork the bottle and gulp down the potion, Severus rejoiced in his heart—fortunately, when he received the task of brewing the potion, he deliberately treated the potion in consideration of Neil's potential to become a treasure. Improvements have been made, otherwise Neil would suffer at this moment.As for the few others who were exposed, Severus didn't care at all.As long as they can survive in the water, other things have nothing to do with him. However, since the potion has been researched, Severus is too lazy to make a distinction.

After drinking the potion, Neil only felt that his whole body became confused, and then he fell into a coma.

Seeing that the potion had taken effect, Severus strode forward and caught Neil who fell backwards, while Dumbledore also waved his wand to catch Hermione and Cho.As for Gabriel, she fell asleep directly in Madam Maxim's arms.

Picking up Neil and holding him firmly in his arms, Severus looked at Dumbledore. "Let's go."

Dumbledore nodded, floated Hermione and Cho, and opened a secret passage leading directly to the Black Lake...

☆, reflection

When Neil woke up again, he felt that his whole body was soaked in the lake water and was thoroughly wet.

"Neil, are you awake?" Harry took Neil and swam towards the shore vigorously.all around, cheers, screams
