In order not to let his physical condition affect his plans for the evening, Remus obediently lay in bed and rested the whole day.

The continuous rainy weather soaked everyone's good mood.

After the Potions class, Severus, a good student who had never skipped classes and was always punctual, asked for leave for the first time. Professor McGonagall saw that he looked haggard and obviously tired.

I approved his leave for this class without any doubt.

"Mr. Snape, I suggest you go to the hospital wing and have a good rest. I hope to see you radiant tomorrow."

Severus sneered in his heart, 'Lucius will be back to normal tomorrow, and of course I will be radiant.'

"Thank you for your concern. Goodbye, Professor McGonagall."

Not wanting to talk more, he simply ended the topic with a few words, took the note and turned away.

When he walked out of the office, except for the dark circles under his eyes, all the fatigue on his face disappeared, and he even jumped with a brisk pace.

There was still one class left before noon. The professors had cast a large-scale temperature-isolating spell in Hogwarts Castle. The air was dry and warm. Countless little wizards rushing to their next class were hurriedly moving on the moving stairs in the castle.

In the Transfiguration class, the little Slytherin snakes looked at the empty first row of seats and discovered that their house was missing one more person.

Lily and James Potter heard Professor McGonagall's speech before class, looked at each other, and prayed in their hearts that Severus was not seriously ill.

At this time, many young wizards were in class, and only a few were sitting in the common room, talking about the strange things that had happened in the past two days.

"Recently, the three head teachers of Slytherin have all asked for leave. This is really rare."

"What's so strange? So many people are sick."

When Severus pushed open the door of the common room, he heard two people talking about Vinceau Lord and Lucius. These two were followers of Vinceau Lord. They turned around and kept silent when they heard the door open.

Seeing it was Severus, he relaxed and greeted him warmly.

The followers around Wenxiu Lord flattered him because of the boyhood, and were jealous and envious of him because he was the one standing closest to the boy.

Severus had no feelings for these two people and nodded slightly in response. He was used to their attitude towards him. The young man only had a good face towards Wenxiu Lord.

"Snape? Why are you back?"

He should be on his way to his next class now.

The wizard who asked this question was given a few small gestures by his friends. He realized that his question went beyond the relationship between them and was a bit rude.

Severus indeed did not answer the two men's questions. He nodded and greeted them before walking into the passage leading to the dormitory without stopping.

The two watched the figure disappear before they gathered together and whispered, "Why is he back now?"

"He's sick too, isn't Lord sick?"

"Hey, I wonder if Lord is feeling better."

"So many people care about him, it's not your turn."

"?_? Do you want to break up?"

"No, no, no, I was wrong. Eat some cookies to calm down."

The closer I got to the dormitory, the more irritated I became. I pushed the door open and saw that the dormitory was empty, but I could hear the sound of water and two male voices coming from the bathroom.

The bathroom door was blasted open with great force. The smiles on their faces froze in place, and even their movements stopped.

The mist in the bathroom dissipated a little, and Severus saw the two people who were soaked.

The shower was on, and water was everywhere on the walls and the ground. Wenxiu Lord's hand was less than an inch away from Lucius. If it weren't for the loud noise, he would have touched the young man's chest muscles.

The tiredness and haggardness in the professor's office were all pretended. Now Severus's complexion was really frighteningly bad.

"What are you doing?" The uncontrollable anger was grinding out from between the lines.

"us……"

There was a big temperature difference between the air indoors and outdoors, and Wenxiu Lord, who was soaked all over, sneezed at an inopportune time.

Magic power surged around Severus, the shower head returned to its original position, the water vapor dissipated, and the entire space became dry again.

A drying spell with sufficient magic power turned Wenxiu Lord's hair from a wisp into a fluffy one. Severus looked gloomy and said nothing, and put his coat on the silver-haired boy.

"Lucius and I were having a water fight."

Wenxiu Lord tightened his coat around himself and whispered a thank you to Severus who was standing at the door. He got the long-awaited poisonous night of the snake king.

"I've been with you for two years as your humble roommate, and I didn't even know when you became so childish? It's hard for me not to wonder if your brain has been infected by the stupid platinum head dripping with water next to you."

Lucius, who was beside the silver-haired boy, hadn't turned around in shock yet. The water on his body was dripping onto the dry floor. In the quiet room, the sound was obviously like glass beads hitting the ground.

After realizing that the annoying person opposite him seemed to be scolding him, he hid behind Wenxiu Lord and winked at Severus in a show of power.

The drying spell accurately fell on Lucius behind the silver-haired boy. Thanks to this stupid platinum brain, in less than three days, the accuracy of Severus' spells improved rapidly.

Wenxiu Lord moved to Severus' side and pulled his sleeve obediently. Every time he did this and blinked his big eyes at Severus, the younger man's anger would disappear.

The boy's complexion really looked much better, as the heavy rain turned into a cloudy sky.

"Severus, the antidote will arrive tomorrow."

"So you decided to go crazy with him today."

The sky was overcast and thunder was rumbling. It was about to rain heavily.

The silver-haired boy leaned over to Severus' ear and whispered, "Lucius misses his mother."

The physical pain was not so easy to subside, and the aftereffects were aroused by this name. Seeing Severus, every cell in Wenxiu Lord's body was longing for a hug.

"Sev, I want to hug you."

"Wen Xiu, this doesn't make me feel better."

She said this, but gave the boy a tight hug with honest actions.

"Oh, I know, but I really need you right now."

Seeing the two of them hugging each other, Lucius pouted in dissatisfaction and wanted to pull the annoying Snape away, but Severus raised the tip of his staff and pointed it at him, threatening him and forced to stop where he was wronged.

With Severus around, Lucius was completely obedient and behaved well the whole day.

It got dark early, there was no moon or light, and the young wizards huddled in groups in the common room. Even the Slytherin common room was more lively and noisy than usual.

Regulus, who was turned away last night, sat by the fireplace in the dormitory, warming himself by the fire, the hairband wrapped around his wrist fitting smoothly against his skin.

His fingers flipped over the same page again and again, and it was obvious that the boy's mind was not on the book in his sight. His sleeves rubbed against his hairband, just like a lover caressing him in an ambiguous way.

He is biding his time.

Where white and black meet, lights light up inside the castle, becoming the only light standing in the darkness.

In the medical wing, Sirius and Remus both held invisibility potions in their hands, and were also eager to try.
