Atonement of HP

Soon the summer holidays were over, and Snape only left Malfoy Manor for the last week.In fact, the attitudes of Lucius and Abraxas are very abnormal-one is approaching abnormally, and the other is gradually alienating abnormally.The professor who has been a double agent for more than ten years is still very sensitive to people's emotional perception, especially when the other party thinks that he is just a relatively wary third-year Hogwarts student.Even Occlumency was perfectly placed on the mother of "Snape's deceased, who came from an ancient pure-blood family" by the ancient aristocratic ritual. Abraxas did not strictly restrain his emotions.

In fact, Snape could understand Abraxas's attitude of being close first and then defensive.The closeness is because of his potion talent, and the defense is because he has discovered his possible origin. As a noble patriarch, he naturally has to consider the entire Malfoy family, approaching a Slytherin hybrid with no background and an ancient After all, the heirs of noble families are different.

In comparison, Lucius' attitude is a bit strange.The ball at the Malfoy family after the fifth grade officially announced to the entire wizarding aristocracy that the young master of the Malfoy family had begun to choose his future wife.It stands to reason that the current Mrs. Malfoy should be responsible for these screenings, but who made Lucius' mother die so early?Abraxas was a man after all, and Lucius' choice was more complicated than any previous Malfoy.This required him to spend a lot of time with his father doing the work that should have been done by Mrs. Malfoy.

Under these circumstances, it seemed unusual for Lucius to find time every day to care about Snape.

As the social interaction began, Abrathas also heard the stories about Lucius and a lowly Slytherin half-breed in the school last semester. Outside of Snape, it was different for his own son.Thinking of the conversation Lucius had with him a few days ago, Abraxas vaguely had a not-so-good guess.If the situation of the Malfoy family is good, it’s fine. As Malfoy who values ​​his family the most, Abrathas doesn’t mind helping his son, but now that Abrathas is sighing in a place where no one is around, Lucius should understand. above all else.

Snape himself was ignorant of all this, and he quickly accepted Lucius' concern for him. After all, Lucius took care of many of his affairs in his last life. The elves of Malfoy's house served him, and they didn't return to Malfoy's house until the war started again.Lucius even arranged the clothes for himself to attend various meetings or events at one time.It can be said that Snape is definitely a member of the Malfoy family, and a family that Malfoy truly recognizes is absolutely heart-to-heart and meticulous.

It is also because of this that Snape never refuses Lucius' overtures and care, and adapts very quickly. Everything Lucius does is taken for granted in his eyes, and he is even secretly satisfied in his heart. The relationship between Lucius and himself now.In the previous life, because of Lucius' kindness to him, he couldn't accept his betrayal of the Malfoy family. Although he protected Drake from the task of assassinating Dumbledore, he didn't make it easier.Being able to be friends with Lucius again in this life is like a gift from Merlin!Snape was so grateful for this that he paid less attention to the abnormality in it.

As for Lucius, just because he did not "release" Snape from Malfoy Manor until a week before the end of the summer vacation, and even more so when Snape lived in Diagon Alley in the last week, he reported almost every day. Hughes was not that slow, Abrathas's reaction gave him a guess, and he himself was deciding to follow his heart, he wanted to see what he wanted from Snape.

That's why Lucius has been abnormal for a while, of course he knew that he was going to start picking a future mistress for the Malfoy family, but every lady he met was picked out by him—— This one, the hair color is too bright; that one, the eyes are lifeless when she smiles; and this one, Merlin, did she spill the whole bottle of perfume on herself?Doesn't she know how bad the smell of roses is!

Lucius didn't know what kind of lady he wanted to choose, but he was not satisfied with every lady he had seen until now!Including the young lady of the offshoot of the Prince family, which is famous for its blood, and the young lady of the main family of the Black family.Lucius knew that he must be engaged to a pureblood before the seventh grade. For the continuation of the platinum family, he had no choice, but before the arrival of the seventh grade, he had to figure out what he wanted.

---------------------------------- I am Lucius, the dividing line that no one can see ------ -------------------

The Hogwarts Express stayed at Station Nine and Three-quarters as usual, and Snape was obviously the first to arrive from Diagon Alley.

As early as a few days ago, Lucius repeatedly asked Snape to go to the box of Malfoy's house to find him after he got in the car again, "there is a surprise waiting for him".But Snape immediately refused. "Has the heir of the Malfoy family forgotten his responsibilities as a prefect? ​​Or does he need a half-blood Slytherin to smile at every lady who wants to be Mrs. Malfoy when they visit, or humbly beg them to wait a little longer?" , because the Platinum Prince is busy?"

Snape clearly remembered the expression on Lucius' face after he said those words. It wasn't ugly, it was just a mixture of anticipation, weirdness, disgust, and even confusion, which made Snape almost throw a demon on the spot. Curse, see if someone drank compound soup and pretended to be his good friend.

Because of this, Snape finally decided to allow Lucius to find him after attending the prefect meeting. He still needs to deal with Lily's problem, even if he doesn't want to touch Lily anymore, but because of Dumbledore's conversation before the summer vacation, He had to continue to pretend that nothing happened and continue to communicate with Lily.And his absence from Spinner's End this summer had left a huge opening, and he had to gag Lily before returning to Hogwarts.

Snape still chose to sit in the car with Lily in previous years, and thought carefully about the reason he was going to say later, the corridor outside the door gradually became lively, Snape was holding a potion book, but he was full of energy on the door.

Finally, the door was opened, "Severus? You arrived so early?" The girl's voice was as light as ever, mixed with unmistakable surprise.

"Lily." Snape nodded, calm as usual.

Lily didn't mind either, the fact that Snape was still in their original compartment was enough to satisfy her. "Severus, where did you go on summer vacation? I went to our vacant lot several times and didn't see you." When she said "our", Lily's voice became a little softer, and her face was a little red.

"I rented a house near the cemetery. I want to spend more time with my mother." Snape replied blankly. He had tampered with the memory of the cemetery keeper a few days ago. Lido went to ask, as long as he didn't use advanced black magic, he wouldn't find out that the memory of the gravekeeper had been tampered with, especially when the target was himself, a potential Slytherin agent.

"Oh, Severus, I'm so sorry." The girl's eyes were a little red, "I really shouldn't have mentioned this."

"It doesn't matter." Snape quickly continued, as long as Lily believed this, the old bee would be more satisfied with her filial piety and hard work.

Afterwards, the two of them talked about their experiences during the summer vacation. Lily was mostly talking and Snape was listening. They will be in the fourth grade after school starts, and they can start attending dances in the fourth grade.Lily talked about what kind of robe she planned to choose, and mentioned her longing for the ball again and again.

In fact, this summer, Lily understood one thing, she had a crush on Snape.Petunia had a big fight with her parents during the holidays. She had a boyfriend at school, and Mr. Evans couldn't accept it at all.Petunia quarreled at home, "You never pay attention to me, you only see Lily", "At least Vernon cares about me", "I feel happy when I see him".Petunia's words were very hurtful. Mrs. Evans was so angry that she almost fainted. Lily was also very sad. It seemed that she could no longer feel her sister's love for her after she was 11 years old.

But Penny's love for her boyfriend

The friend's description made Lily feel familiar. In her heart, there is also such a person she trusts, is familiar with, and feels happy when she sees it - Severus Snape.She might like him, Lily blushed, which also made her look forward to studying with Snape during the summer vacation, but she didn't expect that Snape didn't show up.This made the girl a little lost and a little relaxed.

Now Snape was sitting next to her, and he was still sitting with her in their previous car, so could she think that Snape was waiting here to explain to her?Lily's face turned even redder, her whole body looked like her own hair, and her emerald green eyes were astonishingly bright.

"Severus..." Lily summoned up her courage. She wanted to ask her childhood sweetheart if she would go to the ball with her. She was the little lion of Gryffindor, and Gryffindor was always going forward.

"Lily!" The door of the carriage was violently opened, "You snotty, stay away from Lily!" Potter said angrily after seeing the scene in the carriage, and the goddess in his mind looked at the black-haired girl shyly. Slytherin, the two sat on the same chair, very close to each other. "Vine binding!" A spell that I just saw from the library at home this holiday was subconsciously thrown out, and a spell that didn't work during the holiday was perfectly realized this time.

Snape pushed Lily away, "Armor protects you," and issued a protective spell, but Snape didn't expect that the spell in his impression that it could protect him was not strong enough. This was black magic, and Snape immediately Judgment, mentally quickly calculate the way to get out.

At this time, "Armor and protection," another familiar voice sounded, the silky voice lost its usual aria, and now You Qi was in a panic, two consecutive protection spells blocked Potter's spell, and there were obvious fluctuations of black magic The trace made Snape smile maliciously.

"Well, well, look, this is the righteous Gryffindor who used black magic on his classmates in public. Professor McGonagall needs to give us an explanation." Lucius came out after hearing the commotion, and when he arrived, he happened to see Snape's first armor protection was not enough to protect him, Lucius's spell was fired without even thinking about it, until standing in front of Snape, Lucius still felt his heart beating beat.

"You are all bloody poisonous snakes!" Potter was furious. "I didn't use black magic. This is what I saw at home. You don't want to slander Gryffindor!"

As the action here is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more small Hogwarts animals onlookers. Many pure-blood families have already seen it, and the faces of several pure-blood Gryffindors have changed It sank.

"Prefect Malfoy, I will personally report to Professor McGonagall." The Gryffindor prefect came from a pure-blooded family, and he stood up with a livid face.

"I will report to Professor Slughorn and ask him to account to Professor McGonagall." Lucius was thinking about showing off his aria, "Then, see you at Hogwarts, now, please allow us to retire After finishing speaking, Lucius pulled people back out of the box regardless of Snape's reaction, and went directly into the box of Malfoy's house, completely ignoring Snape's struggle.It wasn't until after throwing countless Locking Charms and Silencing Charms on the door that Lucius let go of Snape's hand, with a smirk from the Malfoy family on his face: "Look at our brave Slytherin warriors!" , asking a hero to save the beauty in front of Gryffindor, how majestic!"

"Lucius, use your brain full of beauty potions! Lily's presence by my side will only add to my burden. Now, what about your surprise?" Snape finished the first half of the sentence righteously, and at the end Half a sentence consciously changed the topic, Lucius knew he was concerned about himself, and Snape explained awkwardly in the face of such concern.

"Oh, Severus, you'll like it." It wasn't Lucius who had been thinking about Snape for a long time, and he quickly understood what Snape meant.Slytherins never explain, but that doesn't mean they're equally silent when it comes to friends they admit.

At least he knew that Snape treated him differently, even though he looked different to that Gryffindor lioness, but one day he would be the only one!Lucius was sure he disliked Snape's attention being given to others, most notably Lily Evans.
