dumb wizard

Harry looked beggingly at the impatient Potions Master with his green eyes, and Draco took his hand, trying to give him some strength.Snape snorted softly and said, "Where are Lucius and Narcissa?" It's enough to solve it once, he doesn't want to waste his time explaining twice.

Draco immediately replied, "Father has gone to the Ministry of Magic, and mother has gone to have afternoon tea with Mrs. Zabini." Snape took a sip of the Darjeeling black tea brought by the house elf, and then said, "Wait until they come back." Besides." Harry was extremely impatient, but he didn't dare to rush the scariest professor in Hogwarts, even though he was Xiu's lover and Draco's godfather!

Snape leisurely sipped the mellow black tea, ignoring the eager eyes of the two small animals on the opposite side and the disapproving gaze of his lover. It was already disgusting to ask him to exonerate that stupid dog, why don't you delay him for a while? ?Snape thought carefully.

More than half an hour later, the green flames of the fireplace ignited again, and Draco and Harry immediately looked over excitedly, and Lucius' shiny platinum long hair came into view first. "Father!" "Uncle Lucius!" the two little wizards shouted happily, making Lucius wonder what he did to make the two children so happy.

But he didn't think about it, and quickly turned his attention to the two relaxed guests on the sofa, "Oh, Severus, Hugh, I'm really surprised how you guys have the time to come to Malfoy Manor." Nepe snorted disdainfully: "Then you really have quite a few surprises."

Lucius shrugged gracefully, then sat down on the sofa, ignoring his sarcasm.Having been friends for so many years, if he is not immune to this level of venom, he is really in vain as the head of the Malfoy family.

"Is the International Potions Symposium over? Isn't there two more days?" Lucius asked. He remembered that this seminar was always half a month, sometimes extended, and never shortened.

Snape smirked and said, "Do you think that what happened in Germany, those old fellows can easily stir it twelve times clockwise or seven and a half times counterclockwise when brewing the scabies potion? And arguing?" The handsome Patriarch Malfoy had a perfect smirk, "Oh, I think you're right."

Blue-eyed Xiaohu is not in the mood to listen to the two Slytherins talking aristocrats back and forth there, he is eager to know the answer, but Draco holds him down, signaling him to calm down.Draco was like his most effective tranquilizer, as long as he looked and moved, Harry could free himself from all negative emotions.

Lucius continued their meaningless conversation, "Severus, did you enjoy your trip to Germany? It must have been a wonderful trip with Xiu."

"Lucius, I'm assuming that you still have some brains left after being corrupted by the glory potion? That ridiculous seminar did not allow the participants to leave the venue without authorization. Of course, if you think that discussing with a group of old-fashioned old-fashioned If the unchanging subject is interesting, then it was a good experience," Snape said sarcastically.

Lucius smirked, "I don't think you need my sympathy." "Hmph! If you still have such a thing!" Snape said curtly.The platinum noble lamented hypocritically, "Severus, am I so unbearable in your heart? What a sad discovery."

"Save your tears to Narcissa, maybe she will soften your heart." Snape looked towards the fireplace, where a green flame rose, and the beautiful and noble Mrs. New, her movements are also impeccably graceful.

"Sissy, is the afternoon tea with Mrs. Zabini as delicious as you imagined?" Lucius' smirk was a little sincere.His beautiful wife gave him a gentle smile, "Oh, of course, dear Luke."

"Mother." "Aunt Narcissa, you are back." Draco and Harry greeted obediently, and Narcissa gave them a gentle and elegant smile, and then turned to the guests, "Severus, Xiu , nice to see you."

Snape was still very gracious towards the lady, and nodded lightly, without spilling the venom.Xiu smiled at her, he had a good impression of this beautiful lady who was arrogant but not domineering.

Narcissa sat next to her husband, and Draco spoke for him because of the anxious gaze of his sweetheart, "Godfather, can you tell us what you know now?" The will of the partner is more important.

Lucius looked at his son, "Draco, maybe you'd like to tell me what you were discussing with the two guests before I came back?" Draco replied respectfully, "Of course, father. We and the godfather Discussions are ongoing regarding Sirius Black's innocence."

The platinum aristocrat raised his eyebrows coquettishly, "Oh? I thought this issue was settled 13 years ago. Life in Azkaban is not very satisfactory." Narcissa beside him looked at Draco mentioned The name Sirius Black had turned mournful at times, and now it was pale, and Lucius patted her on the back to reassure her.

Draco glanced at the newspaper on the table. In the photo, Sirius Black had a ferocious expression, grinning at the camera. "Father, mother, we thought he might have been wronged, and the godfather seemed to think so too."

Both Lucius and Narcissa looked at the expressionless Snape, "Is that so? Severus." Lucius asked, and Mrs. Malfoy, who had always maintained a noble and elegant face, covered her mouth. Already shed tears.Sirius Black, the pure-blood traitor, the disgrace of the Black family, has always been Narcissa Malfoy, the former Narcissa Black's heartache.

Seeing Narcissa like this, Snape could no longer sneer, and said directly: "I think the traitor is someone else. Is there the Daily Prophet on August 8 last year?"

"Dora!" Lucius yelled into the air, "Bang!" A house elf wearing a clean pillowcase appeared, flapping its two big ears and saying respectfully: "Dora serves the master! What does the master have?" Command?" "Bring me the Daily Prophet of August 8th last year." "Yes, Master!" Disappeared again.

In less than half a minute, Dora appeared with an old newspaper, handed it to Lucius respectfully, and then withdrew. "Severus, what do you want this newspaper for?" Lucius asked strangely, spreading the newspaper on the table.

Snape pointed to a smaller photograph in the lower left corner of the first page of the newspaper, showing Harry, Draco and Hermione glaring at the youngest Weasley son.

"Is there anything wrong with this picture?" Harry asked suspiciously, isn't it a picture of them staring at that rude and uneducated Weasley?This happens a lot at Hogwarts.

Snape never knew how to write politely to him, and immediately satirized him coldly, "Stupid Potter! I really dare not expect to have a little wisdom in your brain, look carefully with your green toad-like eyes, Wei The rat on the shoulder of that fool of the Sly family!"

Harry was so shocked that he almost flinched into Draco's arms beside him, but fortunately he remembered the business and leaned closer to look at the mouse on Ron Weasley's shoulder in the photo.But...is there anything wrong with this mouse? It's just a dirty, bald, normal mouse to them.

They looked at Snape, whose face was obviously not good-looking, and his four pairs of eyes clearly revealed a meaning——Don't be a fool, just say it!

Snape took a look at Xiu and said, "The Weasley twins once mentioned to Xiu that this mouse has been in their house for more than ten years." He stopped, and Lucius frowned. Eyebrow, "Ten years? Can a mouse live so long?" Harry asked blankly, "Do mice in the wizarding world live this long?" His eyes were on Xiu, who smiled at him and shook his head. , signaling him to continue listening.

The mouse in the newspaper repeated the movement of scratching Ron Weasley's robe with its paw, and Snape tapped one of its paws with his wand, "Look carefully, this mouse is missing a toe."

Lucius frowned, and quickly realized, "A toe? I remember that our great victim, Mr. Peter Pedilou, winner of the Order of Merlin, seemed to have lost it in the battle with Sirius Black. One finger, and died a heroic death."

Harry opened his eyes wide, "Uncle Lucius, you mean... this mouse is a human?!" Draco patted his head, "Harry, there is an advanced transformation spell in Transfiguration Animagus, can turn people into animals. Everyone has their own Animagus, but this spell is hard."

Harry was amazed, the mystery and unbelievability of the wizarding world had been giving him endless surprises.Lucius raised his eyebrows, "Great hero, why did Mr. Pediru fake his death and hide in Weasley's house instead of standing up and enjoying his honor?"

Snape sneered, "If he is really an admirable hero." Lucius was surprised by the meaning of his words, "Severus, you mean that maybe Peter Pedirou is not Not as great as we know?" "I suppose so," said Snape coldly.

"Oh, Severus..." Narcissa who had been sobbing in a low voice raised her head, "Then Sirius may be innocent? Merlin! My poor Sirius!" Narcissa couldn't control her emotions, Lucius let her lean on his shoulder and comforted her in a low voice.

When it came to Sirius Black, Snape still hated him immensely, but he had to clear his name.After all, they still depend on him to reopen Black's old house and get the Slytherin locket.

Harry jumped up and down with Draco in his arms, "So my godfather is innocent? Great! I'm going to find him!" Draco grabbed him, "Harry, stop messing around! What are you doing now? Do you know where he is?" Harry immediately lowered his head in disappointment, "Yes!"

Seeing his frustrated look, Draco couldn't bear it anymore, "Don't be discouraged, Harry. If he is innocent, since he escaped from Azkaban, he will definitely come to you, my godson. I think you'll see him soon." Harry cheered up immediately, "That's right! Draco, you're so smart!" The platinum dragon blushed slightly for his sweetheart's overly direct compliment.

Lucius looked at his son who has not yet achieved a positive result, and looked at his son who has been single for more than ten years, and now has a close lover. '.

Xiu began to learn the Patronus Charm under Snape's guidance.This is very difficult. The Patronus Charm is a very advanced white magic, and there are not many people in the entire magic world who can use it, let alone those who can only learn silent magic.After learning for more than two weeks, I still can only emit some white mist.

Draco and Harry also started to study under the guidance of Lucius and their progress was much faster than Xiu, especially Harry, he has always been very talented in white magic, and he can already release the formed Patronus. His patron saint is a full-grown stag, vigorous and powerful.

Although they didn't know why their father would suddenly ask them to learn this magic that was useless except for dealing with dementors and passing on occasional messages, they all worked very hard.Draco also had to deal with the heir training of the family, so tired that he was paralyzed on the bed every day and couldn't move.

One day in mid-August, Lucius came back from the Ministry of Magic with a very ugly face, which shocked Narcissa, Draco and Harry in the hall.

"Luke, what's the matter? Your face is so bad!" Narcissa hurried to her husband and asked worriedly.Lucius gritted his teeth and said: "That idiot Fudge! He wants to let the dementors enter Hogwarts in the name of protecting Harry!"

"What?!" The three of them were extremely shocked.Harry knew about dementors when he first started learning the Patronus Charm. They are the dirtiest, greediest, and most disgusting creatures in the world. They live in the darkest and most desperate places, and they feed on people's happiness Students, stationed in Azkaban, everyone is terrified.

Narcissa said angrily: "Fudge is really crazy! Dementor... Oh! Merlin! Dragon and Harry are both at Hogwarts, what can we do? Luke, no one objected to his ridiculous decision? How could he!"

The snake rod in Lucius' hand hit the floor with a crisp sound, "Many people object, but what's the use? The current minister is Fudge, and he is the one who makes the decision!" He looked up at Draco and Harry, " You two must learn the Patronus Charm as soon as possible, and I will find a Boggart tomorrow to practice for you." The two nodded.

Lucius grabbed a handful of Floo powder and said quickly, "I'm going out!" Then he walked into the fireplace, "Spider's End!" Narcissa waved her hand with worry on her face, "Little Dragon, Harry, you Continue to practice the Patronus Charm, and I will look for any defensive items that can reduce the damage of the dementors." She quickly left the hall.

Draco and Harry looked at each other, and finally Harry suggested: "Draco, we have to tell Hermione the news so that she can learn the Patronus Charm as well." Draco nodded, "Let's write a letter, and then Send her a book of Patronus Charms." The two went upstairs to Draco's room.

Hogwarts headmaster's office.

Facing his former student and current right-hand man, Minerva McGonagall, Dumbledore smiled helplessly and said, "Minerva, I can't help it either. Fudge insists that Sirius Black will definitely come to Hogwarts to confront him." Harry's bad luck, it's not up to me to have the dementors garrisoned."

Professor McGonagall's face livid, "Albus! That's a dementor! Oh, Merlin! How the students will panic! If those monsters can't control their desire to eat, Merlin, I can't even imagine that! "

Dumbledore was so annoyed that he couldn't even eat his favorite sweets.First, Gellert Grindelwald escaped from prison, then Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban, and now the dementors are about to enter Hogwarts, pity his 100-year-old old man, his beard fell off one by one !

"Albus, you must take measures. Every student at Hogwarts is the future hope of the wizarding world, and there must be no damage!" Professor McGonagall said forcefully.The head of Gryffindor is always fair and responsible, and she really cares about every student.

Dumbledore pulled out another beard, and said bitterly, "I see, Minerva." Professor McGonagall left the principal's office worriedly.

In the headmaster's room where only Dumbledore was left alone, he turned over the upside-down photo frame on the bookcase, looked at the blank square inch, "Gellert, what should I do?...I have... ...I don't want to hold on anymore..."

He is so tired.The greatest white wizard, he has shouldered too much, lost too much, and owed too much.

Spider Alley.

After Lucius left, Snape sat on the sofa with Xiu in his arms, thinking deeply.Xiu put his arms around his neck and secretly looked at his expression.Snape felt his gaze and patted his fleshy buttocks, "What are you thinking?" Xiu shook his head first, and took out his wand after a few seconds, "Sev, it will be over soon, right? ?”

Snape was silent for a while, and then said: "Well, it will be over soon, don't worry." He knew Xiu's uneasiness. If the Dark Mark on his left arm was not removed, if Voldemort was not dead, Xiu would not die. Will be at ease.

Shuna rubbed her hair against the crescent of his neck, then lay quietly on his shoulder, playing with her wand.After a while, he suddenly clapped his hands and looked up, really startling Snape. "What's wrong?"

Xiu rubbed his chin, then waved his wand, "Sev, do you think that Black will agree with Draco and Harry?" Snape was helpless at his unfounded worry, "Hugh, Draco is a qualified Malcolm Fu!" Xiu looked at him - of course I knew!

"If he can't even solve this matter, Lucius should consider having another one with Narcissa." Snape said coolly.Xiu thought about it—that’s right!That kid Draco was shrewd at first glance, and Black's reckless and impulsive stupid dog must not be his opponent.He was really worried.
