Harry woke up the next afternoon.

Cyril happened to have a first-year Potions class for the day.

Assistant teacher Baihu and his student Hermione came directly to the medical wing after class.When I went in, I found that Headmaster Dumbledore and Headmaster Snape were also there.

"Oh, am I...?"

Cyril stepped back politely, making a gesture of going out.

"It's all right, Cyril, and Miss Granger. We're just talking to Harry, there's a lot he doesn't understand."

Dumbledore said with a smile.

Snape stood straight not far from the wall, neither participating in the chat nor leaving.Seeing Cyril coming, he just looked up at his boy.

Cyril blinked in silent greeting to Severus and walked over to Harry's bedside.

The boy's hair seemed to be a little long, and the tie without a headband was loosely draped over his shoulders, making Harry look like a quiet, delicate and well-behaved baby.

The obedient baby sat on the head of the bed, seeing Cyril's eyes light up.

"Harry, are you feeling better?" Cyril sat down and grabbed one of Harry's little paws.

"Much better, brother Cyril. Headmaster Dumbledore said you were very worried..."

"Yes, Cyril shed tears for you." Dumbledore added half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Cyril was a little embarrassed, and lowered his voice slightly: "Sorry, Harry. Severus and I could have arrived there earlier, and you shouldn't have been tortured like this."

"Please don't say sorry. The Headmaster explained to me about my scar and the Philosopher's Stone. I understand."

Cyril looked at Dumbledore gratefully. In fact, he was completely unprepared for how to explain a series of questions to Harry.

Several people chatted for a while, and Madam Pomfrey drove out the visiting people on the grounds that the patient still needs to rest.

In the evening, Cyril curled up on the sofa in Severus's office to correct the students' experimental reports——Thanks to Sherlock, he discovered that Muggles still have such a systematic thing in learning, which is just suitable for giving rules Little first-year wizards who don't know anything about it are used to cultivate a good habit of making potions.

Severus was correcting a treatise on potions that had both his and Cyril's names on it.The room was quiet, and the two of them had long been accustomed to this way of getting along.

The strokes in Cyril's hand stopped, and he suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "So... where is the Philosopher's Stone now?"

"In a safe place where you can take the Soul Eater potion at any time." Snape replied habitually.

"Severus, what did Albus tell Harry this afternoon?"

Cyril shook his leg again, and used a quill pen to spend 6 circles on an experiment report of dog crawling characters. After a long time of patience, he finally wrote the word "rewrite".

"Speak normally, tell the truth." Severus replied flatly.

"Is it that big?"

Cyril blinked and gave another lab report an A.

"Mr. Potter is not a three-year-old kid. If you don't tell him, he will try his best to get the news, so it's better to tell the truth at the beginning, so as to avoid unreasonable speculation at least. What's more... the soul-devouring potion is already in production, Albus can't fail to understand that."

"What was Harry's reaction when he heard that?"

Cyril simply dropped the experiment report in his hand, squeezed to Severus' side, and asked curiously.

"Normal slug reaction."

"Hey, what's a slug reaction?!"

"No more than: what should the principal do now? Can we eliminate him? What should we do? What can I do blabla..."

Snape rolled his eyes a little too inconspicuously when he said blablabla, which made Cyril think his professor was really cute.

"I guess Albus will say: Well. Harry, you just need to study hard and eat the potion when it's ready. The rest is left to the grown-ups... right?"

Snape raised his head, threw the quill back into the pen holder, raised his arm to support the white fox boy who insisted on squeezing beside him, sitting teetering on the armrest, raised his eyebrows and said, "I only give Slytherin five points, because you A little less. Albus also said: Harry, you have to learn to control your brain, and don’t be disturbed by Voldemort during the production of Soul Eater Potion. He may have noticed the misunderstanding between you connect."

Cyril took an inch and simply sat on the wizard's strong thigh with his buttocks, wrapping his arms around Severus' neck: "Professor Full Mark, please tell me, you think that person will notice this kind of connection?"

Snape felt that the white fox boy's hairy head just rubbed against his neck, and it was a little itchy, so he forced the boy to straighten up on his legs, then picked up the quill and continued to change and draw on a paper that was completely handwritten. No said again slowly: "Sooner or later. First of all, that person needs to reshape his body when he runs out this time. This is not an easy process in itself; secondly, after reshaping his body, he needs to summon his... …disciple; in the end, when he finished all these, the Soul Eater Potion had probably been swallowed and digested by Mr. Potter. But there was nothing wrong with Albus’s reminder, because caution is the prerequisite for success. Curious Do you have any other questions, Mr. Little? If not, get off your poor professor's lap, who happens to be quite busy right now and needs work."

Cyril pouted, turned into a fox, crawled out of the baggy clothes, and said with a messy head, "I have problems. I have many problems. For example, Dumbledore Did Principal Lido ever gossip about Harry, for example, when you were his parents' classmates..."

In the next second, Cyril felt the soft skin on the back of his neck being pinched by the man's big hand, lifted it up, and landed on the ground in a rough manner, with all four feet on the ground, and the white hairy butt with a big tail was caught by the man's hand. Wu patted it gently with his hand.

"Go do your own thing."

……

Harry stayed in the medical wing for another night, and was taken back to the dormitory by his roommate early the next morning. Apart from the loss of a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Hogwarts seemed to be unchanged.

Severus turned down Defense Against the Dark Arts as a substitute because he had a lot to do lately.Cyril was really surprised by this, he thought that the professor who applied for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class for 7 consecutive years would not let go of such an opportunity.To this, Severus gave a contemptuous "huh" and didn't intend to explain further.

But a week later, the supernatural Dumbledore found a new teacher.The whole school was jubilant, and the new teacher was everyone's acquaintance—Mr. Black Little.

Mr. Black Jr. is willing to substitute for the rest of the school year, the only condition is that he does not live in school and takes his homework home to work, because he has a "sticky partner".

"Clingy Companion" happens to be in the "strategic shift stage" recently. Wherever Regulus goes, he will go there. Now that Regulus is returning to his alma mater as a substitute teacher, he will find a house in Hogsmott to accompany him .

Every time "Mr. Companion" would stand by the Forbidden Forest and wait for Rael before dinner (except for a few insiders, no student could figure out how that handsome man appeared in Hogwarts every time), He recently found a part-time job at a nearby Muggle hospital, and his time was very loose, so he fell in love with taking his lover all over the world to find restaurants to eat, and watching his partner taste various delicacies.

Everything is on the right track. Before Christmas Eve, Soul Eater Potion has reached the third stage. In addition to the hard work of the potion master and the potion master's assistant, Kuaiyin's performance is also very good.

On December 12th, the entire potion reached the final 24 hours of attack.

Cyril and Severus didn't go anywhere. Since 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them have been standing in front of the potion without leaving each other.

The mithril cauldron was filled with dragon's blood and the blood that had been volunteered by unicorns before.Severus was stirring the whole time.

Cyril was doing some auxiliary work, passing Snape a glass of water or wiping off his sweat from time to time.

In the past, Severus also used to experiment with potions without sleep, but generally wizards would avoid Cyril, and it is estimated that he took a bath and took a refreshing potion the next day, so Cyril just felt that wizards sometimes have a temper. Slightly irritable and not talkative (Cyril called it: Severus staying up late syndrome), there is no major problem.

This is the first time that Cyril accompanied his professor to make a potion that took so long.

He found that the wizard hardly ever went to the bathroom, and stood straight in front of the cauldron. If he hadn't put the water glass under the wizard's lips, the wizard would not even ask for a drop of water.

Neither had dinner.

The potion boiled at low temperature was placed there, and none of them was in the mood to eat. The two of them seemed to be hung up and down by something at the moment, one part was pulling the straightest and most sensitive nerve, while the other One end was tied to the cauldron of potion.

Cyril gently wiped the sweat from the forehead of the wizard next to him with a handkerchief—the cellar in December, because of the potion brewed, the whole room seemed very stuffy, and then helped the wizard comb the hair that had grown a little longer Shut it up and combed it again.

Seeing the man's straight back with a slight concave in the middle, Cyril resisted the urge to bury his face on it.

He felt a little distressed, to be exact, very distressed.

He couldn't imagine how this man spent days and nights making potions without sleep in the past.

Many potions took several hours to make. Today Severus has him by his side, but before... only him.

In the memory of the crystal ball, little Severus was making potions by himself in the Room of Requirement as a child.I really hope that time can be turned back so that he can get to know him earlier. I can't say anything else, at least the companionship is what he can provide.

But it's okay, thank you for everything now.At this moment, he was standing next to the wizard, the place closest to him, where he could accompany him, watch him, and occasionally help out.

After the Soul-eating Potion is ready, little Harry's problem is solved, and there is another tough battle, he will be completely free.

eight pm.

The blood-red potion was put into a crystal bottle.

Snape moved his stiff neck, and a pair of warm hands climbed up just right to knead the muscle that could no longer relax by itself.

"I asked you to eat, but I insisted on guarding by the side. Are you hungry?"

Severus was enjoying the "White Fox Brand Horse Killing Chicken", with a slight accusation in his tone, his voice was much softer.

Cyril knew that the wizard was tired.It was tiring to stand beside someone he didn't do anything about, let alone the wizard who had been staring at the potion cauldron.

Cyril pulled him onto the sofa, asked him to sit on his side, and knelt behind him to help him press his temples.

"We'll go to Dumbledore right away. Avoid long nights and sleepy nights, and put Harry on his medicine tonight."

Severus closed his eyes and said, feeling just the right amount of force in Cyril's hand.

"Okay. I also think it's good to eat early. Today's Christmas Eve...is it a good sign?"

Cyril nodded.

A quarter of an hour later, Head Slytherin and the potions assistant took the potions and went straight upstairs to the headmaster's office.

It was Dumbledore's early arrangement that Harry didn't go back during the Christmas holidays. The old man told Harry that he might need to take "cold medicine" on Christmas Eve. When Harry thought of going back, he would also be with his uncle and aunt, and he was a little less interested. At least one comforting Christmas meal can be had at Hogwarts.

The only shortcoming is that I can't see my big friend.

Kuaiyin also came here some time ago, but because he was busy with "business" and Harry was still in class, the two of them only met twice in a hurry without saying a word.

The principal of Hogwarts has a lot of things to do every day, but he is still aware of the details. Thinking of the potion that the child is about to face, he thoughtfully invited Kuaiyin to attend the Christmas dinner at Hogwarts as a friend.

Sure enough, the presence of Quicksilver at dinner eliminated more than half of Harry's anxiety.

Originally Draco knew that Harry would stay with him for Christmas if he didn’t come home, but his parents insisted on “dragging” him back with 5 letters a day, saying that the Christmas dinner at Malfoy Manor cannot be without the little master ——This is also the state of most Slytherin students, so the school specially put the tables together because there are very few students staying in school.

Hermione and Neville also came home, and the only person familiar with him at the table was Ron—his parents went to Romania to visit his brother Charlie, who had gone to study dragons in advance, which made him a bit homeless, but Ron took Gran Fendo was optimistic by nature, but unfortunately, he quickly threw himself into the wizard chess match with his friends who stayed in school within 2 minutes. He still didn't forget to discuss the endgame just now while eating.

Harry didn't tell Ron about taking the potion, not because he didn't trust Ron, but because Headmaster Dumbledore asked him to.

In fact, not only Ron, but Harry didn't even say Draco.

Although the blue-eyed boy did not know the specific information about the Horcrux, he also felt that the matter was serious and extremely dangerous, so he understood the principal's decision.

Looking left and right, everyone around is enjoying Christmas, and my anxious and worried mood seems out of place.

At this time, the arrival of Kuaiyin is very necessary. First of all, he knows the whole story; secondly, he himself is very lively and interesting, just to relieve the tense atmosphere and coax little Ha to eat more to replenish his energy; lastly and most importantly, he Is Harry's most important friend.

The two of them were taken to the headmaster's office by Dumbledore after they finished their meal. After waiting for about 10 minutes, they ushered in Snape and Cyril who were holding the "Destiny Potion".

"Taking it here?" Snape asked succinctly.

Dumbledore clasped his hands together and said gently, "Right here. How long do you expect this medicine to last?"

"It's not mentioned in fairy tales or handbooks, so I boldly guess that it won't take long."
