[HP] Squib Prince

"Severus?" Brian was feeling weak all over now, and he especially hoped that he could sit on the sofa and have a good rest, but Snape, who was supporting him, seemed to have no intention of letting go at all, so Brian had no choice but to remind him aloud.

After Brian called Snape's name two or three times in a row, Snape seemed to wake up suddenly, let go of his tightly clasped hands without a word, and let Brian sit on the sofa as he wished. superior.Neither of them spoke, one was too tired and didn't want to talk, the other didn't know why, and looked in a daze.

After a while, Brian felt that he had rested. Seeing that Snape still had no intention of speaking, he could only ask cautiously, "Is that spell 'Avada Kedavra'?"

Snape nodded absently, but said nothing.

Just when Brian was about to ask, Snape seemed to have finally digested something, and suddenly said: "Combined with your pendant, this spell is most likely to be 'Avada Kedavra'. It's just that it can't be done right now." Determine what happened when you were attacked."

Brian nodded in understanding, he didn't have much confidence in Snape's method.The situation was just as he expected. Even if they found that memory, it was really hard to say whether they could find the spell they suffered in the end under such a mess.But as far as he knew, apart from the baby who escaped under Voldemort's death curse a year ago, there seemed to be no case in the entire wizarding world that could escape from the Avada death curse.Thinking of this, Brian looked at Snape suspiciously: "Are you sure it's 'Avada Kedavra'? I don't seem to have such good luck, do I?"

Snape gave Bryan a complicated look, he didn't know what to think, and sneered: "Your luck is really not very good."

Brian didn't understand what the other person meant, but he could hear a hint of self-mockery from Snape's words.He grins awkwardly.Too many words, too many mistakes, Brian wisely chose to keep his mouth shut.

Snape didn't seem to see Brian's expression, and started to chase people away unceremoniously: "You can go back."

Brian always felt that Snape's state was rather strange since he finished reading his memories.It's just that he carefully recalled the clips he saw before, and he didn't feel that there was anything that would irritate Snape.Could it be the tragic death of the young couple?It didn't look like Snape was such a vulnerable person.

"Are you all right, Severus?"

"I'm not you, Mr. Prince." Snape's tone was really not good, "I think you should worry about yourself first. That couple who died tragically..." After speaking, Snape paused, He grinned viciously, and then said, "It is very likely that they are your biological parents."

Brian was taken aback by the malice in Snape's tone, and he thought of this question only after Snape reminded him.It's just that Snape's tone made him very uncomfortable. Anyone's biological parents would be uncomfortable if they were told in this tone, even Brian, who had never met his biological parents.He couldn't help but glared at Snape, then gave up the idea of ​​disturbing Snape, said goodbye: "Then I'll go back first, I think we all need time to sort out our thoughts. Anyway, thank you today ,take a good rest."

Snape just waved his hand and ignored Brian, he was not in the mood right now.

"Good night, Severus."

Snape watched Brian leave the office, and then sat down on the sofa in complete relaxation, looking up at the ceiling.Maybe the lights in the office were too harsh, Snape felt his eyes hurt, so he could only cover his eyes with his hands.Just like that, after sitting quietly in the dark for a while, Snape showed no signs of changing his posture.It seemed that this would allow him to escape this messy reality, and, he had to admit, the warmth of Brian's warmth on the sofa just now made his empty heart feel better.

After an unknown amount of time, Snape slowly stood up.He extinguished all the lights in the office with his wand, and went into the inner room.Under layers of protective spells, he opened the wooden box with silver decorations again, just like he did half a year ago.

After more than half a year, when he opened this genealogy again, Snape's mood cannot be described in words.Tonight, ever since hearing that name that he hadn't heard for many years, Snape knew that his mood was very unstable.He stroked the gray name with his hands, recalling the short and happy childhood, the youth full of violence and low self-esteem, and the youth full of regret. He didn't know what he should do when facing the owner of this name. What kind of expression do you make?It's just that since he heard her name in Brian's memory, the next action was not just for the purpose of blood relationship and research interest. He wanted to find out what kind of role his mother played in this matter. Role.

Snape seemed to have thought about this matter for a long time.After a long while, he turned his eyes to another branch in the family tree. The two names on it were "Auston Prince" and "Kristen Prince".Looking down from the names of the two, Snape's eyes paused, the name changed, it was no longer the original "Bowen Prince" but "Brian Prince" ".

This was the second time Snape had looked at the family tree since meeting Brian, and he had just discovered the transformation.Obviously, his guess was not wrong, Brian was the son of his mother's younger brother Auston, that is, his cousin.This change of name is most likely because when Brian entered the magic world, everyone recognized his current name, so that his current name has magical effects, thus changing his name on the genealogy.As for his biological parents, from the memories he had just obtained, it was easy to see that both of them died tragically under the siege of Death Eaters in order to protect him.

"Ha, great maternal love, great fatherly love." Snape twitched his lips in self-deprecating manner.Ever since he acquired the memory, his brow has never been loosened.

Snape clenched his fists and told himself this was not the time to think about it.He stood up slowly, as if he was carrying a huge weight, and he was desperately suppressing his emotions.He walked slowly to a cabinet and took out an empty white glass bottle from the cabinet.After a while, he took out the magic wand in his hand, aimed at his temple, and chanted a vague incantation, and then strands of silver-white filaments were pulled from his temple. Pulled out.

Snape fluently filled the silver-like object into the bottle, then snapped the lid on, cast a dozen spells of protection and defense, and finally put the small bottle back into the cabinet.Turning around again, Snape was back to his usual unsmiling, mean-speaking Potions teacher at Hogwarts, and no one could see his vulnerable side.

Since the night when Snape accepted his memory, Brian had never met Snape in person again, not even when Brian went to deliver his meal in person.This made Brian wonder for a while whether the other party was avoiding him, and this perception made Brian feel empty in his heart.

Today is Slytherin's Christmas ball, Brian thought that he could finally see Snape, so he put on the dress specially made for today at Madam Malkin's. Appeared in their common room on the basement level.To be honest, he couldn't figure out why these godless wizards celebrated Christmas at all.Maybe just find an excuse to have fun with yourself?Brian thought absently.

At this time, the Slytherin lounge has been completely redecorated, and the space of the entire lounge has been enlarged by at least three times by magic, and even the ceiling has become much higher.A tall Christmas tree stood in the center, decorated with all kinds of shiny trinkets, and even the fairies Brian knew before were flying around the Christmas tree.The original long sofa table in the lounge is also gone, replaced by various decorations with a very festive atmosphere. Only in the corner is there a velvet sofa for people to rest.

Brian has never been interested in things like proms. He leaned bored in a slightly secluded place, holding a glass of champagne, looking around.And those Slytherin students didn't know if they had heard about his magical powers, or they were still in a wait-and-see attitude. In short, none of the students came up to the front to chat with him, and Brian himself was very happy.

Brian's eyes skipped over the well-dressed and delicately made-up students, and he didn't pay attention to the various snacks that seemed to whet the appetite. He tried to find Snape who hadn't seen him for a long time in the crowd.Slytherin's ball, as the dean, he must not fail to appear.

To Brian's disappointment, Snape never showed up.Brian unhappily grabbed a first-year student he was familiar with, and asked, "Doesn't your dean attend the dance?"

The student was taken aback for a moment before realizing it, and replied: "I heard from the seniors that the dean basically only appears at the opening of the dance every year. If something happens, sometimes he doesn't even appear at the opening. This year It is said that there is something temporary, so I won’t come here.”

This time it was Brian's turn to freeze.He let go of his hand, patted the student's shoulder, then hid his disappointment, and said with a smile, "So that's the case. Well, you have fun."

Now that he knew that Snape would not appear at the ball again, he felt that there was no need for him to stay any longer, so Brian left the ball decisively.

On the way out of the common room, passing Snape's office, Brian decided to try his luck in it.

"Oh, what's the smell? Severus, are you there?" Brian successfully used the password to open the door of Snape's office, which made him feel better.

Frowning, Brian groped forward, trying to find the position of the oil lamp to brighten the office.As a result, before he found the kerosene lamp, he seemed to have kicked something, and then heard a muffled groan.
