HP solves the mystery

After Narcissa left, the two chatted for a while before finally getting down to business.

"Now that the Lord is powerful, I believe that the magic world will soon be under his control..." Lucius pointed out, full of enthusiasm, "The descendant of Slytherin... is mysterious, powerful and... ambitious. I am sure he will Leading us to greater glory."

Severus knew what he was going to say, so he didn't criticize it and drank black tea quietly.

"You should know that if you don't join us, it will be difficult for a mixed-blood to survive in the magical world, let alone...a Slytherin half-blood..." Lucius glanced at the silent person and tapped his fingers on the table, "I I heard what Holland said, you have changed a lot in the past year..." Both your personality and attitude have become more calm.

"Senior Lucius, I don't have that big of a revenge, I just..." Severus paused, stroking the teacup with his fingers, "I just... like a peaceful life..."

Lucius frowned slightly. This junior had revealed his desire to stand out before he graduated, and later wrote a letter asking him to be nice in front of Voldemort. Why did his attitude change so quickly?

"You don't like the red-haired witch of Gryffindor anymore?" Lucius narrowed his eyes slightly, and countless guesses flashed through his mind.

Severus was startled and shook his head slightly.

"Why is that? Are you wasting your talent in potions and are you willing to be a mediocre... wizard?" Lucius was a little angry and came up with a ridiculous idea, "Could it be that Dumbledore caught you? What's the reason?" He laughed at himself, "Is this why you were hospitalized in the hospital wing for so long?"

Severus held his forehead and marveled at his imagination. Seeing that he still had the momentum to talk, he had to interrupt loudly.

"No, I'm just a student. How can I be caught?" Severus saw Lucius being choked. After thinking about it, he rolled up the sleeves of his short sleeves and said casually, "I see through it." I have experienced some things and feel that the magic world is not suitable for me..."

Lucius looked at the hideous scar in trance. It was really hard to imagine how seriously injured Snape was.

"Didn't you use the scar remover I gave you?" Lucius asked in disbelief, his narrow eyes widening. If he had a scar on his body, he would never let it stay there for the next day.

"it's useless."

Severus thought to himself, he just couldn't tell others about the 'werewolf incident', but he didn't say that he couldn't show his injuries to others; even if they didn't know what was going on, it would be nice to leave a seed behind.

Seeing that Lucius wanted to ask something else, Severus put his finger on his lips and made a silent gesture, not wanting to explain too much.

Lucius frowned, thinking about the notorious 'Taoist Four' in the school, as well as Severus and their love and hatred. Could it be that they seriously injured someone?

If Severus knew what Lucius was thinking, he would give him a thumbs up. Although there was a difference, it was still the same.

Fortunately, Dumbledore only released a werewolf. If he met Hagrid when he was studying in school, the eight-eyed spider would probably use the castle as a lair.

Could it be because Sirius Black, my brother-in-law, completely offended someone?

Lucius wanted to ask him if he knew what he had done? He had offended a future Potions Master!

Lucius thought he had figured out the key to the matter and wished he could use a wand to make Sirius disappear! You must know that there are many wizards who can make potions, but very few can make high-quality potions. Otherwise, I wouldn't pay so much attention to Severus after discovering his potion talent!

Gee, this is really hard to handle, Lucius sighed inwardly, their team needs a good potion master.

"Severus, I hope you can consider it carefully. There is no disadvantage in joining us." Lucius adjusted his mentality and looked at Severus with a smile on his face, "Of course, even if you don't join, we are still good friends. "

"We can cooperate, senior. I prefer a quiet life." Severus deliberately emphasized the words 'cooperation' and 'quiet' to express his determination to provide potions but not participate in the internal activities of the Death Eaters. .

Lucius nodded after hearing this. Although it did not meet expectations, Junior Snape's words also indicated that he would attach himself to the Malfoy family, which can be regarded as the completion of talent recruitment.

Malfoy Manor is a large area, the scenery inside is beautiful, and the food is made with the taste of house elves, which is very delicious.

After Severus and the owner of Malfoy Manor finished eating, they were sent back the way they came by the house elf Coco.

After Severus returned to central London, he couldn't stand the potion for a few days. He went to the zoo under the instigation of the basilisk Herbo, and almost caused the reptiles inside to escape en masse.

"You did it on purpose, right?" Severus said softly to the little green snake in his breast pocket. The three balls of ice cream in his hand were almost squeezed out by the panicked crowd. He shouldn't believe the snake's lies.

[Hiss...I was just too excited...accidentally...haha...] The basilisk replied awkwardly, and the snake head retracted. Didn't it release some breath?

The leisurely visit to the zoo ended like this. Severus planned to go home, but he didn't want to run into Zhang Mingyuan's family who were going to the British Museum.

"Severus, what a coincidence. Have you eaten?" Zhang Mingyuan asked his wife and daughter to go shopping first, while he and Severus chatted, "Would you like to go back to the villa to have a look? Everything is done."

Thanks to Zhang Mingyuan's frequent visits to the villa decoration, he opened a Chinese grocery store in the Chinese gathering place there, and soon occupied a part of the Chinese food supply market, and also attracted many Chinese who came to study in England.

Severus felt that it would be better if the house smelled better, and he was not in such a hurry to move in, so he shook his head.

"Ah, by the way, my cousin went back to China some time ago and brought some things. Is there anything you want?" Zhang Mingyuan exclaimed as if he remembered something, rubbed his index finger with his thumb, and smiled brightly. , "There are also silk porcelain, I can sell them to you at a better price."

Severus looked at him expressionlessly, watching his performance quietly.

Zhang Mingyuan was unmoved by his words, and changed the subject with a laugh.

"Recently a producer approached me and asked me to invest in his movie. Do you think I should invest?" Zhang Mingyuan has been able to work hard in England for so long, and he certainly has a good vision. The main reason is that he is afraid of being defrauded of money.

"It depends on yourself," Severus replied after thinking about it. Mrs. Thatcher was about to come to power, and the spring of the real estate industry was coming. "I suggest investing in real estate. This is safer."

Zhang Mingyuan had the answer. He wanted to smoke a cigarette but was concerned about the occasion, so he could only throw a candy into his mouth.

They chatted for a long time. Zhang Mingyuan's daughter called him a few times, ran over and hugged her father's leg.

Severus looked at the chubby little girl, chuckled and said, "You go shopping first, I'm going back too, call me if you have any questions."

Zhang Mingyuan nodded and carried his daughter into the museum.

The following days were still boring. Except for Lucius's request to help brew a few soul stabilizers, he had closed all the potion customization in Diagon Alley.

It was another cloudy day, the whole of London was gray, and the blowing wind carried a strange fragrance of flowers.

In a corner of London, two Death Eaters wearing black robes and riding broomsticks had a traffic accident. They collided in the sky; the reason was that they were teased by two brats across most of London and were disarmed. The magic wand is like teasing two mice.

The two black-robed wizards endured the humiliation and helped each other to leave. Fortunately, the ones who were disarmed were all second-hand wands, so there was no need to worry about their identities being discovered. Moreover, if it were not for the mission arranged by the adult, these two brats would be dead!

What they didn't know was that a passing reporter took a photo of them, and the Daily Prophet published a photo showing the backs of Sirius and Potter. As for the front photo where their faces could be seen clearly? Those were all used by reporters to ask for money. They didn't want to be famous among the Death Eaters, so they spent money to buy them away.

Walburga was shocked and angry when he saw the photo. This was outside Hogwarts School! If you are really killed, who can you talk to for explanation? This eldest son is really too ignorant...

"Orion...it's okay..." Walburga sighed with a pale face, looked at her husband who was also frightened, and slammed the table angrily, "You asked Alphard to contact Andromeda immediately, you can't let her Provide support to that traitor again! Look at the trouble he caused!"

Orion stepped forward and hugged his wife, apologizing softly, "Okay, I'm sorry Wall, it's all my fault. I should have listened to you from the beginning and shouldn't have put the family in danger... "

Walburga, who had always been strong, had a sore nose, and the hesitation in her eyes turned into determination. She should have seen the situation clearly when Sirius entered Gryffindor. Even if Voldemort hadn't appeared, her eldest son would have caused trouble. A lot of trouble.

"It's okay, Orion, go ahead and contact Alphard quickly." She patted Orion's arm and said through gritted teeth, "Rael has sacrificed too much for the family, and we can't let Sirius destroy it anymore... …”

After Orion finished contacting Alphard, he watched his wife sit back on the sofa and continue to draw the family emblem for Regulus, with many thoughts in his mind.

Regulus, who was mentioned by them, was currently in a small town in Austria, silently following Voldemort and doing his duty as a follower. Only the pain in his left arm from time to time reminded him that he had no intention of retreating. There's room.

Voldemort came to Austria without Nagini. He strolled leisurely along the Danube River, listening to the Muggles singing soothing music and laughing about unknown things, and the violent emotions in his heart magically eased a little.

But he didn't delve into it. The purpose of his coming to Austria was not just for fun.

After all, inviting a powerful dark wizard to join your camp, who is also Dumbledore's deadly rival, is much better than chatting with your followers every day.
