The leader of HP arrives

"Honorable Chief Malfoy would like to know if you can spare the time, Mr Snape."

"Tell Lucius, and I'll go—" the shrill voice of the house-elf appeared in the room, and Severus forced a hoarse answer from his throat, reaching for the nightgown beside the bed out of habit.

The damp silky cloth slipped down from his fingertips, and the bright red cloth was gradually stained with a few cloudy white stains. Severus was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that this was not his uniform white. Cotton dressing gown.Apart from that lord, there is no other wizard in the entire British magic world who can control such a luxurious and rich color material.

Severus struggled to sit up, opened a bottle of intelligence enhancer from the table and poured it into his mouth. The high-quality potion eliminated the severe headache after the hangover, and his chaotic brain gradually woke up. There are ridiculous memories of last night.The crumpled parchment was still lying in the corner under the desk, Severus hesitated, but bent down to pick it up, the nightgown brushing against his shoulder blades caused a prickly pain, making him try to flatten his fingers on the letter With a shudder, the parchment fluttered down on the carpet again.

The fragments of memories that seemed fragmented due to the hangover were slowly pieced together, Lily's letter, Regulus' gift, the rich bitterness of the absinthe, the clear moonlight last night, and that suppressed sigh.He chose the oldest way of Slytherin to surrender to his master, but chose the most cowardly way to escape.

The body can still faithfully recall the pleasure of last night, the light itching when the breath swept over the shoulder, the trembling when the fingertips brushed the skin, the burning heat when the palms were clenched, the temperature belonging to another person, it seemed that the blood in the whole body was clamoring for The urge to pour out.But before the last moment, he flinched cowardly like a Hufflepuff, as if scalded by hot liquid, and fled back to his bedroom in panic.

"Severus, are you up?"

"When will Mr. Malfoy be as rude as Gryffindor, or, in your eyes, I, a humble Slytherin, don't even need to have the last bit of personal space?" The door was knocked from the outside, The gorgeous voice of the platinum nobleman interrupted the memory, and Severus took a deep breath, wrapped his nightgown tightly, and looked at Lucius who pushed the door and entered.

"Oh, Severus, your misunderstanding really makes me sad." Lucius glanced around the room, and broke into a big smile, "You know, your foster elf has let me walk in the corridor I wandered here for half an hour, and as your best friend, I was only concerned for your safety—they found your coat by the lake."

"I'm fine. If there's nothing else, I think you have more important things to worry about, Lucius." Severus pursed his lips and stretched out his hand to open the bathroom door.

"Of course, I have something more important to tell you, Severus." Lucius brushed off the corner of his clothes disapprovingly, sat down on the only chair in the room, and watched Severus The figure disappeared behind the door, and the bright smile disappeared from the corner of his mouth.The room was filled with a faint smell of cinnamon, and I, who was once famous for being unrestrained, could even clearly catch that subtle fishy smell, and an imperceptible bright red came out from the gap in the quilt.

"Severus—" Lucius called lowly into the bathroom, but Severus didn't answer, the noise of the water drowning out such an insignificant voice.Lucius blinked, put aside the sudden ambiguity, reached out and pulled the quilt to cover the inadvertent blush, and left the room before the sound of water stopped.

"Lucius, I thought something important enough had happened that you broke into someone's bedroom with no regard for etiquette." When Severus found Lucius outside the warehouse, the latter was busy directing the house-elf to Crates of Galleons were piled up like pyramids.

"Of course, I have important news for you, Severus." Lucius glanced over Severus's collar that was buttoned up to his chin, and handed over the family books to the housekeeper beside him. Elf, "Today next week, I will get engaged to Sissy."

"Narcissa Black?" Severus quickly recalled the Slytherin witch with brilliant blond hair. Compared with Bellatrix, the gentle and sweet Narcissa didn't even look like a wizard from the Black family.

"If you want, I sincerely invite you to be my best man, Severus. Apart from Narcissa, I don't think there is any other witch who is qualified to be the mistress of the Malfoy family." Lucius touched The pendant hanging on the chest is inlaid with Narcissa's photo, "If it wasn't for Sirius Black, maybe Malfoy Manor has ushered in a new heir now."

"If you have any brains, you should know that there are more suitable candidates than me." The word engagement made Severus' heart twitch violently, and Lily's smile came to mind in a trance, "at least According to your promise, I should now learn advanced potion formulas from an ancient German magic family." Although Headmaster Dumbledore and most of the Slytherins knew that they were hiding in Voldemort's Manor, they also agreed not to mention it , but the marriage contract between the Malfoy family and the Black family will expose this secret to the entire Order of the Phoenix.

"You are one of my closest friends, Severus. Even a strict and harsh German wizard will not prevent you from returning home to attend your best friend's engagement ceremony, trust me."

Lucius frowned and removed the magic wand on his forehead, and the quicksilver-like memory flowed into the Pensieve, with a few ripples before returning to calm.The platinum nobleman breathed a sigh of relief, put away his wand, and adjusted his white evening dress for the last time in front of the huge full-length mirror in the room, ready to welcome the congratulatory guests.Severus is indeed not suitable to appear at the engagement ceremony of the Malfoy family and the Black family, and any pure-blood wizard would not be willing to invite a half-blood Slytherin as his best man.There are many wizards who are more suitable for this role than Severus, but Lucius still stubbornly chooses to let this half-blood wizard stand closest to him.

The Malfoy family also needs something more important, something closer, closer, and more closely related to the master, so that the Malfoy family becomes a special existence that cannot be easily discarded.And that day, he saw this possibility in Severus, a possibility of using Severus to maintain the relationship between the Malfoy family and the master.

"Thank you for coming, great master. This is an unprecedented honor for Malfoy Manor." Even the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters are not lacking in families that have blood ties. The wizards gathered in Malfoy Manor at this time except Slytherin In addition, there are many pure blood families of Ravenclaw and Gryffindor.The mysterious man who had disappeared for half a year appeared in Malfoy Manor for the first time, causing a slight commotion. Lucius raised his eyebrows and glanced at Severus, who had tense cheeks, and bent over to open the carriage door.

"Abraxas will be happy for you, Lucius." The eastern gaze swept over Severus's drooping forehead, and finally stopped at the ornate sculpture at Malfoy Manor.It was a mermaid's magical fountain. It was hard to imagine that a Slytherin pure-blood family's manor would have a fountain based on Muggle fairy tale characters, but Abraxas not only did this, but even put this The sculptures are placed on the only way of the manor.

But the visit of another distinguished guest quickly interrupted Lucius' greetings. After a slight bang, the headmaster of Hogwarts in a pale pink wizard robe appeared outside the gate of Malfoy Manor, beside him It was Sirius Black who seemed embarrassed.

"I didn't expect you to attend the engagement ceremony of the Malfoy family in person, Riddle." Dumbledore's eyes flickered, but his face still had the same smile.

"Malfoy and Blake are both the most capable subordinates of this seat, so I naturally want to congratulate." Dongfang Bubai looked at the old wizard disapprovingly, and stepped into the manor first, "It is Principal Dumbledore who attended the two Si The engagement ceremony of the Leitlin family was beyond my expectations."

"Whether it's Gryffindor or Slytherin, Lucius and Narcissa were both students of Hogwarts." Dumbledore glanced around at the wizards present, noticing the eyes of several Gryffindor wizards. Surprised, apparently the encounter between himself and Riddle was not artificially arranged by Lucius, "Also, I can also send Sirius to the ceremony along the way."

"I just want to meet Narcissa, Lucius, and I will leave before Bella finds me." Sirius coughed lightly, his embarrassing expression even slightly pleading.Once he joined the Order of the Phoenix, rumors that the Black family would sign a blood severance contract had spread in Hogwarts, and Regulus' indifferent attitude also confirmed the credibility of the rumors.

This plunged Sirius into a paradoxical pain.I met James on the Hogwarts Express and joined Gryffindor against the wishes of his parents. At first, this rebellious behavior was only due to his disgust and resistance to the conservative and rigid rules of the Black family. He is the eldest son of the Black family and the future The heir, from the very beginning, he just wanted to enjoy seven years of unfettered freedom, and never thought of betraying Black and Slytherin.But despite his Gryffindor company, Slytherin's innate pride still wouldn't allow him to succumb to a parchment that screamed at him in front of all Gryffindors.

He was expelled from the Black family, lost the right to inherit the family, and even lost his status as the eldest son. At this point, he had no other choice but to grit his teeth with a smile and insist on his last trace of pride.

"I want to see the portrait of Abraxas, Lucius, you stay here." As the host, Lucius naturally wanted to stay to welcome the guests, the red hem flashed in front of his eyes, Severer Si hesitated for a few seconds before following.Abraxas, the former patriarch of the Malfoy family, the legendary close friend of the mysterious man, his portrait hangs in the study of Malfoy Manor, facing the door, welcoming every visitor .
