dumb wizard

Two days later, Lucius Malfoy sent a formal invitation to Snape and Hugh to visit Malfoy Manor, thanking them for their lunch last time.

The invitation letter was sent by Draco himself, and Snape gave an affirmative reply in person, and Draco went back with a smirk on his face.

At ten o'clock the next day, Snape went to Malfoy Manor with Hugh Portkey.Xiu used the Portkey for the first time, and the situation was not much better than the first time he was apparated by Snape. He was so dizzy that he leaned on Snape's shoulder and retched.

The way of transportation in the wizarding world is really monotonous and uncomfortable!Xiu was furious, and missed the Muggle world, although it is not as fast as Apparition and Floo, it is hundreds of times more comfortable.

The place they arrived at was the gate of Malfoy Manor.Xiu regained his strength, and looked at this ancient manor, which was hardly inferior to Hogwarts Castle.

Gothic white arches spanned dozens of feet, stretching out of view from either side of the fence.The elegant silver-black iron gate exudes an ancient taste, and you can see the extremely wide courtyard inside.

Xiu finally understood why his lover often referred to the Malfoy family as the peacock family, and there were more than a dozen beautiful and proud white peacocks standing beside the fountain in the center of the courtyard, which constantly sprayed beautiful water.Xiu almost couldn't help laughing, but out of politeness, he held back, and just lamented in his heart how accurate Snape's evaluation of the Malfoy family was.

Not long after, Lucius' gorgeous aria came, "Oh! My friend, welcome to Malfoy Manor." Lucius' clothes today were as luxurious as ever but tasteful, and the dark green slim-fitting robe showed his body The shape is slender and elegant, and the dark cufflinks have a low-key gorgeousness.

Xiu smiled and nodded at him politely, while Snape snorted coldly, "Lucius, I thought your head was finally eroded by the Radiant Potion to the point where you even forgot the basic hospitality of nobles, and you let the guests Waiting at the door for so long."

Lucius smirked, and said seriously: "Severus, the noble Malfoy doesn't need such a thing as a radiant potion." Snape responded suspiciously, "If that's the case, then in my locker There is no need for those radiance potions."

"Oh, no!" Lucius put on a perfect smirk again, "Severus, you can give me the Potion of Radiance, and I will sell it on my behalf, and the potion master's works will definitely get a satisfactory price ’” Snape snorted disdainfully.

"Luke, aren't you here to receive guests? Where are our guests?" Narcissa's gentle voice sounded behind Lucius, and then she walked over gracefully.

Snape nodded slightly at her, "Narcisha." Xiu also nodded and smiled.

Narcissa gave Lucius a reproachful look, "Luke, it's really out of Malfoy's style for you to let the guests stand outside for so long."

Lucius nodded, "It is indeed my fault, Severus, Mr. White, please come in."

The four walked into the main house of Malfoy Manor, where Draco and Harry were waiting in the hall.

"Xiu!" Harry habitually flew towards him, Snape's face darkened, and he quickly pulled Xiu behind him with sharp eyes and hands, leaving Harry in the air and almost falling out of his front teeth.Fortunately, Draco stopped him in time, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

Harry looked at Xiu with Snape behind him pitifully, his watery blue eyes made Xiu feel as if he had done something outrageous.

Snape snorted, "Stupid Potter!" and pulled Xiu to sit down on the sofa farthest from Harry.Xiu smiled apologetically at the aggrieved Harry. Harry was healed instantly, and he was eager to pounce on him again, but was held back by Draco.

The house elf brought the mellow Scottish black tea, Xiu took a sip, and the fragrance remained on his lips and teeth - it was the purest top-grade Scottish black tea, worthy of being the number one nobleman in the wizarding world.

Time passed quickly amid the pleasant conversation. The lunch was the best British meal for the house elves of the Malfoy family. Although it was still not as good as Xiu's, it was already the best meal Xiu had ever tasted in the wizarding world. up.

After lunch, Snape and Lucius went to the study at Malfoy Manor to discuss matters.

Harry finally got the chance to run up to Xiu, and asked cautiously: "Xiu, you, are you really...a couple with Professor Snape?" It shocked him deeply.

Xiu was surprised, even Harry, a dull kid, knew about it, so the others just...

"Harry, how do you know?" Xiu didn't use manifest magic, but used the pen and notebook in his pocket.He considered that some secret conversations would not be so obvious with the magic of manifestation, so he always carried a pen and paper with him.

The blue-eyed little snake blushed, and murmured: "I, I saw it, you and Professor Snape were kissing, kissing." Xiu's normal face suddenly turned red, and he was actually seen!

Patting his hot face, he wrote, "Harry, who else knows besides you?" Xiu was worried that his relationship with Snape would bring him trouble, and he wondered if the wizarding world cared about the relationship between teachers and students.Moreover, Dumbledore did not give up Snape as a pawn, and their relationship would definitely make the old fox feel that things were out of control.

Harry tilted his head and thought for a while, then replied in a low voice: "Uncle Lucius, Aunt Narcissa, and Draco all know about it." He straightened his face, "Xiu, why are you worried about this? Isn't it Snape? The professor doesn't want others to know about your relationship, as long as you are an underground lover?"

Hugh Khan—Harry, have you watched too many Muggle soap operas?

Harry continued to complain about his indignation, "No! You have been wronged too much! I'm going to argue with Professor Snape, and I must never let you follow him without a name!" He was about to get up Lou, Xiu quickly grabbed him and shook his head——Harry, your imagination is really too rich!

Harry still had an angry look on his face, "Xiu, you can't always accommodate him like this, you have to stand up and fight for what you deserve..." Xiu suddenly covered his mouth to prevent him from saying shocking, haha Li struggled a few times and couldn't break free, so he had to settle down.Xiu made sure that he would no longer impulsively want to find Snape's theory, so he slowly let go of his hand and made a simple "listen to me" gesture.

"Harry, you're really thinking too much. Sev absolutely doesn't mean that. It's just that I don't think it's time to expose our relationship. After all, I'm still a student, and it will affect Sev's reputation." After making sure Harry read these few sentences, he poked at his notebook and raised his eyebrows at him—understood?

Harry nodded, but he was still not at ease, "Well, Xiu, you are too considerate of others. If Professor Snape bullies you, you must tell me!"

Xiu was very funny, and wrote in a joking tone: "Harry, what's the use of telling you? Can you help me beat him?" Harry looked down at his small body, and then thought about Snape's tall figure And his Master of the Dark Arts, Master of Potions titles, pouting in frustration - guess he's got a beating!

Solving the diary proves that the Dark Lord is not immortal, and they who know the future trajectory can end all tragedies before they begin.

The Ravenclaw crown is in the Room of Requirement, the Hufflepuff Gold Cup is in Gringotts, the Slytherin pendant is in Black's old house, Nagini is missing, and the soul tablet on Harry's forehead needs to be purified. The solution is the Gaunt ring.

But the danger of this ring can be said to be far greater than other Horcruxes. Even Dumbledore died from the black magic on this Horcrux in the end, which shows how difficult it is to deal with.But they are afraid that if they don't act early, the changed future will develop in a direction they don't know. No one can be sure whether the ring will change under this situation.

Slytherin's caution allowed Snape and Lucius to quickly analyze all the situations and take into account possible unknown accidents.They decided to get rid of the Gaunt ring as soon as possible.

After discussion, Snape and Lucius decided to go to Gaunt's old house in Little Hangleton on August 8 to solve the Soul Resurrection Stone Ring.

Back home, Snape told Xiu of their decision.Xiu was very worried, the black magic on that ring was not easy to deal with, and he would be tempted if he was not careful.But there was nothing he could do to help, the only thing he could do was try not to show his worry so as not to affect Snape.

But for Snape, who was once a perfect double agent, he couldn't hide his emotions.He didn't say it clearly, but he spent less time going to the laboratory every day and spent more time with Xiu.

kitchen.

When Xiu put sugar into the pot as salt for the third time, Snape finally couldn't bear to stop him - he didn't want to eat a dish that was too sweet.

"Hugh." Snape pressed Hugh's shoulders and turned him to face him.Xiu stared at him stupidly, but didn't come back to his senses.

Snape patted his head, "Xiu, you are too worried." Xiu grabbed his hem, how could he not be worried, the curse on that ring could even fall to the greatest White Wizard Dumbledore.

"Sev, let me follow, I won't hinder you." Xiu hurriedly conjured up these words with his wand, and looked at Snape beggingly.But Snape flatly refused. "No, it's too dangerous!"

"I'm going to follow because of the danger! In case—" Xiu took a step back, the wand in his hand dropped, not daring to think about that possibility.Snape took him into his arms, "Xiu, I promise I'll come back safely!"

Xiu shook his head, if it is guaranteed that this kind of thing is useful, how can there be so many life and death?Snape sighed, "Hugh, don't you believe me?"

no!Xiu still shook his head, it wasn't that he didn't believe him, it was just that the thought of the danger made him nervous.Hugh White was a human being who always lost more than he gained, so much so that he felt more insecure than anyone else.Snape was almost everything to him, he couldn't imagine what would happen to him if he lost this man in such a decisive way as death!

"Sev, can you let me follow? I'll just stand by and watch! You know that the most dangerous thing about that ring is the temptation magic. I won't take the ring beyond my means, no It's dangerous." Hugh begged, he didn't want Snape to take risks where he couldn't see, it would break him!

Snape said nothing.Seeing his shaking, Xiu climbed his hands on his face, tiptoed, leaned up to kiss him, and silently delivered his request—please, Sev...

Snape pressed his lips against his, and cursed vaguely: "Damn you bastard! You win!" The fiery kiss swept all the senses, Xiu hugged the man's shoulders, and responded to the kiss with all his heart.
