In the evening, Snape and Xiu, who was holding the little snow raccoon, went to Malfoy Manor through the Floo network. Only Narcissa was in the living room. "Severus, Xiu, welcome." The beautiful and noble Mrs. Malfoy said with a smile, oh, the little snow fox is here too.Basically, little Snowy, who was friendly except for Snape, jumped into Narcissa's arms—well, it was so soft, so comfortable.

Narcissa gently stroked the back of the coquettish little snow fox, thinking for the hundred and first time that her husband should get one to raise as well—anyway, the dragons are all raised, and the snow fox has never been easy. "Narcissa." Snape greeted, and Xiu nodded at her.

Narcissa made a gesture of please sit down, and then said, "Luke is in the study, Draco and little Harry are in the courtyard." Snape nodded, then lowered his head and asked the little guy beside him, "Xiu, you Are you going to find those two little monsters in the courtyard?" Xiu thought for a while, nodded, smiled at Narcissa, and stood up.

The little snow fox in Narcissa's arms jumped down and climbed onto Xiu's shoulders along his legs.Snape glared at this ten thousand-year "rival in love", and the little snow raccoon flicked his tail - he just ignored you!Xiu smiled gently at his jealous lover and walked out of the living room.

Narcissa smiled and watched Snape slowly pull his eyes back from Xiu's back, and said with a bit of a sigh: "Severus, I'm so happy for you to see you like this." Snape Nepe's eyes moved, he pursed his lips, and said nothing.

Narcissa didn't need his response, but she was very emotional, "Xiu is a good boy. I can see that you are very happy when you are with him." Snape's eyes softened, and he said in a low voice: " Yes, Narcissa, I'm glad..."

"Oh, Severus, you're here." Lucius' usual aria came from the winding staircase, Snape's eyes twitched, and the venom sprayed out, "Lucius, what about your hospitality? Is it the so-called etiquette of the Malfoy family not to greet guests when they arrive? It really opened my eyes."

The handsome and gorgeous Malfoy patriarch raised his eyebrows infinitely, "Severus, I don't think we need to care about these things in terms of our friendship. Didn't your little lover come? It's rare that you are willing to take a step away from him."

Snape snorted coldly, "He's in the courtyard." Lucius came over, sat gracefully on the sofa, and said with a smirk, "Severus, you really can't leave Mr. White for a moment. As your friend, I will give you a piece of advice, you have to be careful."

Snape glanced at Narcissa next to him, and said with a half-smile: "Narcisha, I think of Lucius' lover list when he was a student, and I think you will be interested in it." Lucius' handsome face Suddenly froze, the wife beside him smiled softly, her beautiful blue eyes were full of coldness, "Oh, of course, Severus, I don't think you would mind taking some time to make a list for me .”

Lucius was dripping with cold sweat, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Sissy, that's all in the past, and I only love you now. My dear, after meeting you, those people are just achnatherum in my eyes, and you are the one in my heart." The most beautiful and noble, pure and innocent daffodils!"

Narcissa and him stared affectionately, "Oh, Luke..." Snape's head was full of black lines, this old couple really didn't know how to spell the word shame!He decided to go to the courtyard to find his little lover to wash his eyes.

The Christmas atmosphere in Malfoy Manor is very strong. The Christmas tree reaching the ceiling in the hall is covered with silver, green, and some wine-red magic balls, which are shining brightly. Green lace hangs from the top of the tree, twitching gently under the influence of magic.There are some colorful gift boxes hanging on the branches, with exquisite bows.There is a transparent crystal ball on the top of the Christmas tree, which reflects beautiful light under the illumination of the chandelier.

The Christmas tree was cursed by the Malfoy family master himself, and snowflakes fell gently from the top of the tree, and disappeared without a trace when they were about to reach the ground.A wreath of holly and mistletoe hung over the drawing-room door, with 'MerryChristmas' written in silver letters.

The magic circle that regulates the weather was closed during the Christmas period, and the entire Malfoy Manor was covered in snow. The thick snowflakes on the roof reflected the moonlight, and the silver light was really beautiful.

The dinner was a standard British Christmas dinner. A fat roast goose was served on a delicate plate in the center of the table, exuding bursts of tempting aroma.The dishes around the roast goose are also exquisite and delicious, all showing the aristocratic taste of the Malfoy family.

They were all acquaintances, and the atmosphere of the dinner was joyous and harmonious. They chatted with each other while enjoying the delicious Christmas dinner.The three young wizards chatted in full swing, Draco and Harry's chatting and laughing were mixed with bright green words, while the three adult wizards talked about some things in a roundabout way unique to Slytherin.

After the dinner, Harry suggested that everyone go to the courtyard to enjoy the snow scene, and the little snowflake squatted on his lap, as if agreeing with his proposal. "You guys go, Severus and I have something to talk about." Lucius said holding the staff.Harry pouted, "Uncle Lucius, is there anything we can't talk about later? It's more fun for everyone to go together!"

Lucius made a distressed look, "Dear little Harry, I also want to enjoy the beautiful snow scene of Malfoy Manor with you, but this matter is so important that I cannot fulfill your wish." Harry was disappointed, and Snape glared at him coldly, "Does the Honorable Mr. Savior feel that everyone is obliged to agree with him, regardless of other things?"

Poor little Harry shrank his neck and hid behind Draco. Sure enough, Professor Snape was the scariest thing!Narcissa smiled softly, "Okay, let's go out first, the two guys who don't enjoy themselves miss the beautiful scenery, don't you think it's good to see them regretting?"

Harry stuck out his tongue, and Draco reached out to pat him on the head—stop it!Narcissa led them to the courtyard, Xiu secretly gestured "I'll wait for you" to Snape, and the black-haired wizard nodded softly.

Turning his head, seeing his friend's narrow eyes, Snape was a little embarrassed, coughed twice unnaturally, "It's not that I have something to do, I'm still leaving! I don't have so much time to waste here!" Lucius said, tsk tsk " Twice, "Severus, you are so kind to Mr. White, but you are so sarcastic to me, it really makes me sad!"

Snape glanced at him coldly, and said indifferently: "It seems that you really want me to hand over your lover list to Narcissa, I think I don't have any scruples." Lucius stopped immediately Teased, "Cough! Severus, you know, I'm so relieved to see you and Mr. White so...happy."

Snape snorted coldly, said nothing, and went upstairs first.

study.

"Come on, what's the matter?" Snape asked, raising an eyebrow.Lucius waved his wand to remove the protective spell on the desk, then took out a book with a history from the bottom drawer, and handed it to Snape.

Snape's eyes lit up almost as soon as he saw the title of the book. "The Potion Lost in History"!Merlin!He is not dreaming!

Snape carefully picked up the incomparably precious book, his hands trembling slightly.This is the ancient potion book that all potion masters dream of! 400 years ago, the painstaking work of Basil Walker, the potion master who is still unmatched by anyone so far, there were only five written books at the beginning, and now it is even more rare!

Lucius tapped on the table, "Severus, don't get excited. No. 30 page five, you can read it." Snape even used Occlumency to calm down his turbulent emotions. Carefully open the book, No.30 five pages.Immediately afterwards, his voice trembled slightly: "Purification potion!"

Lucius raised his eyebrows, smiling with excitement and a sense of relief, "Yes, Severus, it's all over." Snape was in a trance for a moment, and the Dark Mark disappeared, which meant that his sin...

"Severus, now is not the time to be in a daze, copy down the recipe, and then you will be busy." Lucius urged.Snape took the quill and parchment from his desk and began to write.

Moonlight flowers can be found in the Forbidden Forest, and unicorn hair can also be found, but the blood and tears voluntarily donated by unicorns may be difficult... The tears of the phoenix, Dumbledore's phoenix has, five-leaf Buddleia... this has already extinct!

Snape frowned and tapped the parchment, "Lucius, Buddleia is extinct." Lucius also frowned a pair of handsome eyebrows, "That's troublesome." He thought about it Thinking, said: "I'll go to Knockturn Alley to have a look, maybe someone will collect it."

Snape responded lightly, and put away the parchment on which the prescription was written.In fact, they all knew in their hearts that the five-leaf Buddleia was very rare even when it was not extinct, and the possibility of finding it now is extremely slim.And the recipe also stated that the five-leaf Buddleia must be fresh.This incomparably precious potion material must be plucked with ice-ground blades and stored in a crystal box immediately, otherwise it will wither quickly.

Lucius also put away the "Potions Disappeared in History", and asked, "Then what should we do next? Besides Harry and the main soul, there are three Horcruxes."

"Nagini is with the main soul, don't worry about it for the time being." And the time when Nagini will be made into a Horcrux is uncertain, and it should be solved together with the main soul. Snape continued: "The other two We have to wait, the time has not come."

Lucius looked at Snape with weird eyes, but the latter pretended not to feel it, "Also, the Patronus Charm, let Draco and the damn Potter learn it during the summer vacation." Individuals are like nightmares, although Lucius would be suspicious, but he had to remind him.

"Severus, you seem to know a lot of things." Lucius said slowly, "I never knew that the Prince family had prophetic blood besides potion masters." Snape snorted, "Stupid speculation! Lucius, have you finally taken over those damn beauty potions?" He paused, trying to soften his tone, "You don't need to worry about how I know this, I promise, after everything is over The Malfoy family is still the number one noble in the wizarding world, and Draco will be a perfect heir, instead of kneeling at the feet of that lunatic and kissing the dust humbly."

Lucius's beautiful lips trembled, and finally he only whispered, "I see, thank you, Severus." Snape was not used to the Malfoy master who was beating around the bush suddenly so bluntly and awkwardly He said "I don't have time to waste here with you!" Then he flicked his robe and walked out of the study.

After ten o'clock in the evening, Snape and Xiu returned to Spider's End. Snape told his lover about finding the formula of the purification potion.But Snape's next sentence dampened his excitement, "But one of the potion ingredients, Buddleia, is extinct."

Xiu drooped his shoulders dejectedly—what should we do then?Snape pinched his cheek and comforted him: "Lucius said he would go to Knockturn Alley to look for it. There are all kinds of contraband there. Maybe some down-and-out nobleman has such a collection." Xiu rubbed his cheek , shrugged - that's the only way to go, force majeure, no one wants to.But at least I found the formula, which is a bit hopeful.

Xiu cheered up, showed a big smile, and nodded vigorously to him.
