[HP] just lover

As we entered the new year, Vanessa received an unexpected letter.

The letter did not come from an owl, but from Lucius.

As he promised, no matter how busy he is every day, he will come to see Cena at a fixed time.

Cena can see "father" every day, listen to this favorite father tell her stories, teach her the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and Lucius will leave after she falls asleep every time, which will give Cena a kind of Feeling - Dad lives with them, he just needs to go to work, he will come back after work every day, he is the most responsible and best dad.

Vanessa explained Lucius's identity to Cena several times, but she covered her ears stubbornly and refused to listen each time. She was also worried that she was so young, and such words would cause her a psychological shadow if she said too much. Don't bring it up again.

Maybe when she is a little older, she will accept it better.

Senna is smarter than ordinary children and matures earlier. Sometimes Lucius plays with Draco in his arms. Draco is clearly the older brother, but every time he is pointed at by his younger sister.

He didn't even feel surprised that Cena also called his father Dad, and he dragged her to play games with his father who was rarely gentle and not strict.Every time he did, the no-nonsense dad would compromise, and he loved it.

But it's not going to work today, Lucius has something to tell Vanessa, so he can only leave the two children to play house by themselves.

When the door was about to close, Lucius also saw Senna handing the toy carrot to Draco solemnly: "You are a rabbit, I am a tiger, you eat the carrot, I eat you."

Draco blinked the same gray-blue eyes as his father and said, "But I also want to be a tiger."

Senna pursed his lips and thought for a while, then said generously: "Okay then, let's do it once each, it's only fair."

Draco smiled happily, and patted Senna on the head with a dignified hug.

Lucius ticked the corner of his mouth as if nothing, closed the door and left in peace.

When he walked downstairs, Vanessa was preparing dinner in the kitchen. When she heard footsteps, she didn't look back, and said directly: "Sometimes Senna is hungry at night and needs an extra meal. Yeda's craftsmanship is actually very good." , but I still want to make her something to eat myself." After a short pause, she looked back at Lucius, "Have you eaten yet?"

Every time he came, it was around six or seven o'clock in the evening. It was dinner time, and he stayed for several hours. If Senna had a good time that day and slept late, he might not leave until late at night.

Then he must have returned hungry.

Although he never made any comments, he was willing to do so, but it was already very troublesome for him to come here on a regular basis every day. Since he couldn't stop this from happening and had to accept this kind of kindness, then she couldn't treat him badly—he did She knew exactly who it was for so much.

"I also helped you." She finished softly, then turned around and continued to work.

Lucius stood there looking at her, and said in a slightly hoarse tone, "Don't bother. You come here first, I have something for you."

Vanessa froze for a moment, handed over the work in hand to Yeda, took off her apron and walked to the living room.

"what?"

She stood by the sofa, and Lucius sat there, even though the sofa was still the small and shabby sofa, but Mr. Malfoy sat on it, it seemed to immediately become a high-end retro sofa of a special size, he himself His temperament has the power to turn decay into magic. Not to mention the gorgeous and expensive wizard robes on his body, he should be very handsome even if he wears a black sack.

Lucius took out a sealed letter from his coat pocket. Vanessa took it from him, looked at the seal of the Ministry of Magic, and asked in surprise, "A letter from the Ministry of Magic? For me?" She didn't think she could have anything to do with the Ministry of Magic... The only person who could be involved was the Honorary Minister of Magic who was sitting here now.

"Yes." Lucius explained to her, "Mrs. Wilson and Mr. Wilson passed away last month, and you, as their only surviving blood relative, inherited all their property." He pointed to the letter with his cane , "You can complete the final formalities by signing that letter."

Wilson is really a long-lost surname. After her mother passed away, Vanessa hasn't thought of that surname for a long time.

"They passed away?" She turned the letter over in her hand, but did not open it.

"Dying from a disease probably also caused psychological pressure." He spoke very conservatively and didn't go into details, but Vanessa could think of all kinds of things.

At such an advanced age, I have no relatives around me, and my only daughter has been expelled from the family. I haven’t contacted her for a long time. I don’t know whether it’s dead or alive. If she still falls ill at this time, it will be even more difficult.

"If you have no other comments, I'll take you to Wilson's house tomorrow." Lucius sat on the sofa, with one leg bent and the other relaxed and straight. He leaned against the back of the sofa, his bony hands slowly Slowly loosening his tie, his eyes were fixed on her.

When Vanessa raised her eyes to look at him, she happened to meet his gaze. Both of them were startled and turned away tacitly.

"I can go there by myself." Vanessa held the channel, "You tell me the address. As for whether to inherit the property, I still need to think carefully."

When she and Roxie needed money the most, those two people who couldn't be called grandparents never thought of lending a helping hand. Now she doesn't need these anymore, and the money she earns is enough for her. She really needs to think about whether to inherit the property.

Lucius stood up slowly, took a step, and walked quietly to her side.

Vanessa suddenly felt that the air was a bit thin. She looked down at the man's straight trousers, his spotless leather shoes, and the end of his walking stick on the ground. It was twisted by her grip.

Lucius raised his hand and approached her suddenly. She wanted to dodge subconsciously, but he just rescued the letter from her hand, and said in a soft but presence-like voice, "I wrote the address on the back of the envelope."

He drew out his wand, waved it lightly, and a line of writing appeared on the back of the envelope.

Vanessa frowned slightly and accepted the letter he handed over again, and heard him finally mercifully say: "I'm leaving."

She nodded quickly, as if she wanted him to leave quickly: "I'll help you get Draco down."

After finishing speaking, he went upstairs quickly.

Lucius stood downstairs, put away his wand, his handsome pale face was full of restrained and suppressed emotions.

And Draco... he was very, very disrespectful to his father.

It took Vanessa a long time to go downstairs with the crying little prince in her arms.

He was leaning on Vanessa's arms, with his hands still stretched out towards the room on the second floor. When he turned back to meet his father's condensed gaze with tears in his eyes, the little prince stopped crying immediately and let out a very uncomfortable Malfoy belch.

"...Just leave him to me." Lucius took Draco from Vanessa's arms with a serious face.

Draco seemed to tremble, and looked at Vanessa as if asking for help. Vanessa showed a helpless expression, and the almost three-year-old boy could only look at his father resignedly, and tremblingly said: "Dad, Dad."

Lucius seemed to smile, but he didn't seem to. He said goodbye to Vanessa politely, and finally gave his son a look to let him experience it for himself, then Apparated and left here.

Well, apparition, the high-level magic that tortured children, Draco felt his whole body twisted up and down, all the candy he ate in Senegal just now poured into his throat, and when he returned to Malfoy Manor, he couldn't help throwing up up.

"You should get used to apparating as soon as possible, Draco." Lucius maintained the image of a strict father, the concern in his eyes was instantly hidden when Draco looked over, and he said casually, "As a Malfoy family I would be disappointed if I reacted like that in front of other people after Apparating."

Draco leaned on the sofa and said softly, "Sorry, Dad."

Lucius said nothing, but quietly cleaned up the traces on the side of the sofa with a silent spell.

Narcissa came over after hearing the sound, and seeing this scene couldn't help but said: "You are too strict, Lucius." She hugged Draco, saw tears welling up in his son's eyes again, and sighed helplessly and said, "Tired Are you ready, Xiaolong? It's time for you to go to bed." After speaking, he carried the child back to the room.

Lucius raised his hand and pressed his shoulder. In fact, he was also very tired. He had to deal with the follow-up of the Dark Lord incident every day, search for the missing big snake, and go to Vanessa's to see Senaku on time. Two things, Apparating back and forth, were already exhausting him, but he also had to juggle his Ministry of Magic duties - he simply couldn't do more.

When Narcissa came down, she saw Lucius sitting on the sofa slowly rubbing his shoulders and arms.

She thought for a while, went to the potion room to get a bottle of potion, returned to the living room and handed it to him.

"Drink it and you'll feel better." She sat down across from him.

Lucius did not speak, opened the measuring bottle and took it quietly. Narcissa looked at him and said, "Sometimes you are too strict with Draco, Lucius."

Lucius said without changing his expression, "It's because you dote on him too much, Sissy. If I'm not strict, I will pamper him lawlessly."

Narcissa was silent for a while, then whispered: "I just hope to treat him as well as possible before I move out."

Lucius put down the potion bottle and said, "Have you thought about it? With all due respect, I don't agree with you leaving so soon. Draco is not yet three years old. You should at least wait until he grows up."

Narcissa nodded and said: "I've thought about it, I won't leave now, and even after we divorce, I will come here during the day. My house and Hunter's house are also in Wiltshire, away from It's very close here, as long as you open the fireplaces of the two houses, it's as if I haven't left."

Lucius remained silent, and Narcissa continued: "We are still a family, Lucius. We will continue to get along in this way until Draco becomes an adult."

"Are you planning to stop dating when you become an adult?" Lucius said casually.

Narcissa said helplessly: "Of course not, don't misinterpret what I mean. I mean, before he gets married, as long as he needs me, I will stay here every day and leave at night."

This time Lucius thought for a long time before saying, "Hunter has no objection?"

"Of course he has no objection." Narcissa said lightly, "If he had any objection, then I would not choose to be with him. I will only have one son, Draco, in my life. He is my most precious baby. There is nothing more important than him in this world."

In fact, Lucius didn't expect to talk about this with Narcissa so soon.

He is still weighing the pros and cons at this moment.

He wanted to think of a good way to keep Draco from being affected by his parents' divorce, and Narcissa gave the best plan—as she said, after turning on the fireplace, she could sleep after Draco fell asleep. Go back to Hunter so it looks like they're still living together and the kid won't notice anything.

The only question was how to tell Draco about it when dealing with the wizarding world and when he grew up.

"I know what you are worrying about." Narcissa said in silence, "Sometimes we don't have to think about the problem so complicated."

Lucius looked at her lightly, and Narcissa said softly: "You should let Draco get used to Nisha as soon as possible, Lucius, don't deny my words, I know exactly what you are thinking, we grew up together, After so many years of marriage, no one knows you better than me."

Lucius frowned slightly, and said with restraint: "We shouldn't be so selfish. We should wait for Draco to make his own choice."

Narcissa looked at him in surprise.

"I'll wait until he grows up," he said softly, "You can do what you say, but I won't be so quick... Like you said, I won't be so quick to start him accepting another mother. I'll be with him until he grows up - until he tells me he needs a new mother."

Narcissa froze.

Her eyes suddenly turned red.

She stood up, walked to Lucius, smiled and said, "I always thought you were more cold-blooded than me and cared more about your own interests... But over the years, I have misjudged you, Lucius. You are a good father , I'm sorry, sometimes I think too narrowly of you."

Lucius smiled quietly, got up and went upstairs without saying anything.

He must have gone to see Draco. Although he always looked serious, no one could deny that he loved his son deeply.

Draco had fallen asleep.

He was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.

Lucius stood beside his son's bed, and Narcissa's words echoed in his ears, and he tightened his grip on the cane.

After a while, he bent down and placed a kiss on his son's forehead.

He thought he wouldn't find out.

But the next second his little dragon opened his eyes.

One big and one small, two pairs of gray-blue eyes stared at each other, Draco realized something belatedly, and couldn't help showing a bright smile.

"Dad." He threw himself into his father's arms and said with a smile, "I love you."

Lucius' back was stiff, and he picked up his son jerky with one hand, put the cane aside, and stroked his hair of the same color as his own with his free hand.

"Mother has a new choice, Draco." He said, as if he didn't care if the child understood, "but she still loves you, and she won't leave this house."

Draco looked at his father ignorantly: "New choice?" He obviously didn't understand what that meant.

Lucius said in a low and gentle voice: "Everyone will meet many people in their life, Draco." He hugged his son and sat on a chair beside him, "You will also meet many people in the future. You will choose to spend your life alone , if you love each other, you will grow old together, but if you get married for other reasons, you can separate in the end and choose someone else."

Draco leaned on his father's shoulder, blinked and said, "I don't understand, Dad."

"You will understand." Lucius' voice was long and steady, "You don't need to know too much now, you just need to remember this, remember that your parents never concealed their choice from you. You need to remember more The thing is, no matter what choices they make, you will always be the most important."

Draco raised his eyes and stared at his father's side face. This was the first time his father spoke to him in such a gentle and intimate way. He nodded slightly, leaned on his shoulder again and said, "Will Mommy go?" The sensitive child who didn't understand the logic of the matter still noticed something unusual.

"No. You'll just have one more uncle who loves you like me." Lucius kissed his son's forehead again, and seeing Draco's dazed face, he didn't feel that the immature son could understand his words at all. Being a little dragon is pretending to be brave.

"Now, it's time for you to sleep."

Putting Draco back on the bed, Lucius straightened up, straightened his clothes, and turned to leave.

Draco lay sideways on the bed, looked at his father who was about to leave, and suddenly asked, "Where is Dad?"

Lucius paused.

"I have one more person who loves me, so will Dad have one more person who loves you?"

Lucius didn't answer.

He continued his pace and left his son's room.

Draco was so young after all, he quickly put this matter behind him and fell asleep in a daze.

Lucius stood outside his son's door, leaning his back on the door, all these years of spying for the Dark Lord, a difficult road and no future in sight.He never thought that the days of stability would come so quickly, nor did he expect that Narcissa would choose to start over so decisively.The only one who is still standing there so far seems to be him.

Will he have one more person who loves him?

It's not that Lucius didn't answer Draco, he couldn't answer.

Because whether this person exists or not is not up to him to decide.

It was later in the year that Vanessa really found time to deal with the Wilson family inheritance.

Because she never went to St. Mungo's to resume her job, and she can't go now, Vanessa went to the hospital to extend her vacation again.

Dumbledore greeted her, and the hospital staff didn't make it difficult for her. They also sympathized with her as a lonely mother who worked hard with her child, and quickly completed the procedures for her.

The business at the potions shop is getting better and better. In recent years, as Snape's reputation has grown higher and higher, the finished products made by the potions master who has already worked at Hogwarts and became a potions professor are displayed in the shop. It gets sold out every time it hits the shelves.

In recent months, with Yeda helping to take care of Senajiu, Vanessa can come out and take care of the business of the store.She discussed it with Mason's therapist, and they all felt that the brand in the British magic world had already started, and they could try to enter the foreign magic world.Even some special potions that are not so conspicuous can be packaged and sold to Muggles after reducing their potency.

This thought brought Vanessa and Lucius back together.

In the wizarding world, when it comes to doing business with Muggles, Lucius dares to be the number one, and no one dares to be the second.

Vanessa wanted to handle this matter properly. Apart from her own market research, it was the most effective and intuitive way to get Lucius' pointers and tips.

She and Lucius are officially partners.

In fact, for a long time in the past, she strictly did not want to have anything to do with him, but as time goes on, people are getting older and rich in experience, and they all understand that sometimes the more determined you are, the more determined you don’t want to have anything to do with him. Whoever is involved in the relationship, the more it means that you can't let go of someone in your heart.If you want to prove to others and yourself that you have really let go, you have to truly accept each other, just like facing ordinary people and ordinary partners.

Not to mention, Vanessa is now divorced, and she no longer needs to be as cautious as she was when she maintained her marriage.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with such cooperation in terms of interests.

It can be regarded as her repayment to Lucius for taking care of Senagius.

And Mr. Malfoy's success in becoming a shareholder and becoming the fourth partner of the VG Potion Store after Mason and Snape has already been requested by him many years ago.

At that time, even the agreement was drawn up, but Vanessa called back.

Now after many years, he finally got his wish, no one can tell what kind of feeling this is.

Going around, they still can't seem to escape this circle, and there is no need to eagerly think about escaping.

They are all adults who are gradually approaching the age of 30, and they can't recall the energy they had when they were young.

When Hogwarts started again, Vanessa made a decision.

She donated all the property inherited from the Wilson family to Hogwarts to support those little wizards from poor families.

Hogwarts itself has a fund dedicated to this, and Vanessa is just adding to it.

Coming out of the headmaster's office at Hogwarts, Vanessa saw Dumbledore for the first time since what happened in Sirius.He was still the same as before, unchanged, not getting older, and certainly not getting younger.

His eyes were still filled with gentleness, and he was very kind to Vanessa who was able to make a donation.

But just like Sirius, Vanessa also had a estrangement from him, no matter how close he is now, no matter how she pretends nothing happened, there will always be such a hurdle in each other's minds.

Unexpectedly, on the way out of Hogwarts, Vanessa met the current potions professor, Severus Snape, in the castle where she had studied for seven years.

After careful calculation, the last time they met was when James and Lily were not dead.

At that time, she pretended to be ignorant and reminded Snape, but she still couldn't prevent the tragedy from happening.

He would become the professor of Potions at Hogwarts, which was beyond Vanessa's expectations, after all... Everyone knows that he used to be a Death Eater.

Did Lily's death change him?

What is the entanglement between him and Dumbledore, only they know.

"What a coincidence." Vanessa was wearing a black overcoat, and she stood there with a slender figure, "Professor Snape, long time no see."

"It's been a long time." Snape stood there upright, his tall and straight body wrapped in black robes, looking like a bat from a distance.His expression was as gloomy as ever, and when facing Vanessa, he would occasionally show a little sadness.

"But this meeting is not a coincidence." Snape said indifferently, expressing his purpose, "I'm waiting for you."

Vanessa looked at him in surprise: "Wait for me?"

"I heard that you donated all the property of the Wilson family to Hogwarts." Snape frowned slightly and said what he had learned.

Vanessa nodded when she heard the words: "Yes, I am not short of money now, there are people who need them more than me, so I will donate them."

Snape pursed his lips and didn't speak quickly. After a while, when Vanessa started to look around, he said again: "I owe you a thank you for that."

Vanessa was startled, and quickly realized what he said.

"No need." Vanessa said softly, "That incident has passed, as you once said, we don't need to remind each other of that."

There was some pain in Snape's eyes, Vanessa stared at him, hesitated for a long time and said: "But if I have to mention it...Professor Snape, it has already happened, and a long time has passed. You don't need to be too guilty. No one is absolutely right and no one is absolutely wrong in that."

Snape looked at Vanessa, and she continued in a low voice: "I heard from Sirius that you only heard the first half of the prophecy, and I believe this is the crux of the problem. But if you understand all , even if everyone knows that the prophecy is true and highly credible, you will not tell the Dark Lord about it and use it to gain something." She lowered her voice, "Your feelings are worth more than many people's." Respect... I mean, you really don't need to be too guilty. People who know the truth will understand you."

Snape's dry lips opened and closed slightly, but no sound came out. He stood there, and it took a long time for him to return to his usual appearance.

"I've said all I have to say," he said hoarsely. "I wish you all the best, Miss Green."

He turned to leave, and Vanessa said flatly, "Are we friends? Can I call you Severus?"

Snape's black back paused for a moment, and he threw a sentence from a distance: "No, Miss Green."

Vanessa laughed, shook her head involuntarily, raised her feet and continued to walk, but ran into another person.

"I saw you talking, so I didn't come over." Sirius appeared from the corner. He is now the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, and it is normal to appear here.

Vanessa glanced at him and said, "Aren't you in class?"

Sirius glanced at the direction Snape left: "No, those who have lessons just left."

Vanessa also glanced at the direction where Snape disappeared, and said to Sirius with a different tone: "What do you want from me?"

"I have something to say to you." He turned sideways, his black hair was a little long, hanging by his ears, slightly covering his beautiful eyes, "Follow me to my office, have a cup of tea before leaving. "

Vanessa thought about it, agreed, and followed him to his office.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office hadn't changed over the years, it was still the same one.

Vanessa followed Sirius, and when she walked outside the office door, she was surprised to find a girl waiting there.

The girl should be quite old, about grade six or seven, wearing a Slytherin school uniform, with long brown hair and black eyes. When she saw Sirius, her eyes lit up, and when she saw Vanessa who appeared behind him At that time, his expression froze.

No one knows the relationship between Vanessa and Sirius. Sirius divorced his wife within half a year after he was rehabilitated. The news about him and his wife participating in the first trial at the Ministry of Magic was revealed at that time. After a long time, everyone felt that their marriage broke down because of that trial. Some witches can understand Vanessa's feelings, and some... can't understand.Most of the latter part are young girls.

For example, the 16-year-old female student in front of me.

"It seems that you have something to do." Vanessa glanced at the other party and said, "Then I'd better leave first. What you want to say can wait until you go to see Senna another day."

Sirius stopped Vanessa from leaving, frowned and glanced at the female student waiting at the door of the office, and asked in a bad tone: "Miss Farley, what do you want?"

The girl surnamed Farley hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Professor Black, I have some questions about the Patronus Charm."

Sirius glanced at his ex-wife behind him, and said quickly, "I don't have time to answer your question now, you can come back later."

Farley looked at Vanessa, took a breath and said, "But Professor Black, this involves my thesis. It's just a small problem. It's about pronunciation. I suspect that my pronunciation is wrong, so I can't pronounce the Patronus. curse……"

Vanessa took a step back slowly, watching the "farce" of unrequited love with an indifferent expression, Farley's face slowly changed under her gaze, Sirius didn't seem to notice, he impatiently He drew out his wand and said, "I'll only show you once, and I'll leave immediately after watching it, understand?"

Farley bit his lip and nodded, looking back at Sirius. Sirius waved his wand and said, "Call God to protect you."

Then, what appeared in front of Vanessa was a beautiful butterfly with wings spread.

She knew this butterfly all too well.

That was her Patronus.

She had also seen it in Lucius' wand many years ago.

Vanessa frowned slightly and said nothing, Sirius retracted his wand and said coldly, "Can we go?"

Farley withdrew the complicated expression on his face, nodded and turned to leave.

Sirius opened the door of the office and invited Vanessa in, she hesitated for a while, and finally walked in.

This office is different from when the old professor was here. The layout is more in Sirius' style, and there are still some unfinished homework on the desk.

"Sit down." Sirius invited Vanessa to sit down and poured her a cup of tea. Vanessa politely thanked him. He paused and said, "There is no need to be so polite between you and me."

Vanessa smiled and said, "I still want it."

Sirius moved his lips. After all, he didn't bother to talk too much about this issue. He is now very clear that there will be no better results if he says more. Although he still wants to get back some feelings, he also knows that he can't be in a hurry. Rushing too much will only push her away.He was a fan of the authorities before, and when he was a love mentor for James, he was also very... James.James. . .

Thinking of his dead brother, Sirius suddenly turned ugly. He sat opposite Vanessa and said after a while, "Dumbledore sent Harry to his aunt." There was a look of disgust in his eyes, "Pe Ni Evans, she is a Muggle, and her husband is of course a Muggle. They are very annoying, and Dumbledore will not allow me to see Harry. He is worried that I will offend the Dursleys-that is Melon. He’s afraid that my presence will make them treat Harry worse.” He said in a suppressed tone, “Yes, they treat Harry very badly. I secretly used the Disillusionment Charm to enter their house and saw that Harry was still so young. , who has just turned three years old, yet wants to sleep alone in a cupboard..."

Speaking of this, Sirius' eyes were red, and he didn't know whether it was anger or sadness.

Vanessa was silent for a while and said, "This matter should be considered a secret, can you tell me?"

Sirius looked at her and said, "From the moment I realize my mistake, I will no longer keep any secrets from you."

The corners of Vanessa's mouth curled up. Didn't he think it was too late?

"I offered to raise Harry by me, but Dumbledore refused." Sirius said very displeased, "I am Harry's godfather, don't I have more right to take care of him than that damn Muggle? Deng Bullido..."

Seeing his resentment, Vanessa rubbed her forehead, and said patiently: "Dumbledore must have his arrangements, you should do as he said, Sirius. The road he walked is shorter than ours. There are so many bridges, have you forgotten what happened after you didn’t listen to his arrangement?”

Sirius' expression was fixed, and it took a long time before he said: "I haven't forgotten. If I didn't remember that matter deeply, I wouldn't compromise with him."

Vanessa didn't speak anymore, she stood up and said, "I should go too."

Sirius followed suit and stood up: "How is Senna doing recently?"

Thinking of her daughter's happy appearance in Lucius' arms, Vanessa said calmly: "She is doing very well. You can come and see her this weekend. You didn't come last week..."

"I went to see Harry last week." Sirius said dryly, "I hid at the Dursleys' house for a day to observe their behavior...they treated Harry very badly, so I played with him for a while. After a while, he said in a low voice, "Use Animagus."

Well, I went to play with my godson, so I missed the time to visit my daughter every week... In fact, I can understand it. After all, it is rare to see Harry. It is okay to spend a long time with Senna every week, and it is acceptable if he does that.

"Didn't your Animagus scare him?" Vanessa made a joke casually, then walked to the door and said, "I'm leaving first, there are other things to do, goodbye."

After finishing speaking, she quickly turned around and opened the door to leave. A few female students came outside the door, wearing Ravenclaw school robes. They thought it was Sirius who opened the door, and called "Professor Black" excitedly, but it wasn't them who came out. Dear Professor Black, but former Mrs. Black.

Vanessa glanced thoughtfully at the female students, and then at Sirius who was chasing after him. He looked embarrassed and seemed to want to explain. Vanessa shook her head slightly, didn't speak to him, and left.

Not far away, Snape finished the course and was about to return to the cellar. When he passed by, he saw this scene, and the corners of his mouth twitched mockingly.

Deserve it.

Blake deserved it today.

He has today... almost as well.

Vanessa went home after leaving Hogwarts.

In the evening, she made a big dinner and planned to have it with Lucius when he came.

For a long time, even if she refused in every possible way, he would always come to see Senna at a fixed time. As time passed, she had no choice but to wait for Senna to grow up before solving this matter, but today...

Lucius didn't show up until eight o'clock.

He is never late.

Vanessa glanced at Senajiu, who was not happy, and persuaded: "Senna, maybe you can rest earlier..."

"No, Dad hasn't come home yet!"

Going home... What a good word, Vanessa twitched the corner of her mouth, and tried to persuade her daughter again: "He may be too busy today, so he will visit later... Well, it's going home." After her daughter was furious Under the gaze, Vanessa could only change the words. She had told Senajiu several times before that it was not your father. Her words were almost worn out, but the child's deep-rooted thoughts could not be changed. Lucius The punctual "return" made her even more happy and satisfied, now that he was suddenly late, she just...

Senna was crying.

Holding the toy dragon that Draco gave him, he cried for his father.

Vanessa stood up with a headache, she couldn't help being a little angry: "Senna, you can't be so willful. I told you more than once, it's not yours..."

"It's mine!!" Senna widened his gray eyes and said with tears in his eyes, "Why does Mom keep saying that! Dad never said he wasn't!"

It seems that the somewhat hurtful "That's not your father" really left a psychological shadow on her.

Looking at her daughter's injured face, Vanessa pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry, Senna, but something..."

"what happened."

There was a man's exhausted but strong voice behind him. Vanessa and Senna looked back together. Lucius stood at the door with a pale face, trying to force a smile and said, "Why are you crying? Senna?"

Senna looked at Lucius and said, "Mum said you won't be coming home today, Dad, I'm very sad, and Mummy also said you're not my father, I'm very sad..." The lovely Polaris cried out of breath Angry, Vanessa stood beside her and didn't try to appease her, she just lowered her head slightly, her long hair brushed over her shoulders, covering her face, and he couldn't see her expression.

Lucius stepped forward with a little vanity, and said in a low voice, "Go down, I'll take care of her."

Vanessa took a breath, turned her head and left here, Lucius glanced at her back, hugged the crying Senna into his arms, took out his pocket watch from his pocket, and said softly: "Look what this is , Senna."

After all, Senna is a child, and his attention was quickly attracted, throwing the pocket watch that Lucius took off. If the owner of the pocket watch saw his top design and most expensive product being played like this, he would definitely Heart attack.

Lucius didn't mind at all.

He accompanied Senna with a pale face, until she slowly fell asleep, and then went downstairs with some unsteady steps.

"Sit down." Vanessa pointed to a place, not opposite her, but next to her.

Lucius looked at her with gray-blue eyes in a little surprise, and supported his body with a cane.

Regulus and I It failed to destroy it directly, so it ran away." He pursed his lips and pondered, "Maybe we need some special weapon... Regulus was slightly injured, and he has already gone to Hogwarts to find Dumbledore."

"Did you not go to Hogwarts because of your injury?" Vanessa looked at him, "Or did you not go to Hogwarts because of your promise to Senna?"

Lucius turned his gaze away from Vanessa, feeling a little awkward.

The biological father missed the regular meeting day in order to see Harry. Even if the non-biological father was seriously injured, he insisted on visiting the little girl who was waiting for him. No wonder Senajiu liked him.

Vanessa looked at him quietly
