HP's Kiss of Eternity

Da da da--

In the potion shop, the ancient wooden clock sounded regularly.

The fine sand in the hourglass keeps flowing down.In the field of vision, an old hand appeared, turned the hourglass upside down, and put it back in place.

A bitter breath entered Lucius' nostrils at the same time.

"Is it done?"

Contrary to the bitter and strong breath, it is a clear liquid poured into the bottle.

"What do you want this for?" The medicine bottle pinched between fingers appeared in front of Lucius' eyes, but it was not brought forward immediately.

The old pharmacist squeezed a worried expression on his face: "Who is it for?"

"Precautions for a rainy day, that's all." Lucius released his right hand from the snake staff, and spread out his palm to the pharmacist.At the moment when the pharmacist hesitated for the last time, he raised his hand to hold it, exerted a slight force, and took the round-bottomed medicine bottle into his grasp.

However, the pharmacist's concerns were answered by Lucius: "I plan to end some industries, and I may not be able to easily collect all the materials in the future."

"Is it finally... your adopted son?" The pharmacist nodded with a dazed look at the second half of Lucius' sentence.Attention also shifted away from his original focus area along with the topic.

Lucius paused for a moment when he put the medicine bottle into his pocket, and his breath was also suffocated.After a period of silence that almost made the pharmacist raise his head in doubt, Lucius' eyes drifted to the window behind the pharmacist, the corners of his mouth drooped, and after subtly speeding up his speech, a short sentence came out from between his lips: " In Coleraine."

"Did you get angry?" The pharmacist frowned slightly, and asked worriedly, "Then..."

"Angry, because of a little wizard? I don't have that skill." After feeling the weight of the medicine bottle falling into his pocket, Lucius snorted reassuringly, and glanced at the pharmacist's worry with contempt Eyes, "Get angry, and then murder your adopted son with a potion, or a priceless potion. I don't know that my image in your heart has fallen so far."

"Okay, I'm just worried. After all, I don't know the detoxification method of this potion. Irreversible results will always make people cautious." The pharmacist was a little relieved, and his sentences were no longer restricted by nervous emotions. .He laughed at himself again, shrugged his shoulders, turned his back, and tidied up his console. "Old man, there will always be futile worries. Since a Malfoy will not have the choice to kill himself, I can only worry about other people around you."

The teasing tone made Lucius behind the pharmacist tense the back of his hand with the medicine in his pocket for a moment.But in the minds of the pharmacists who hadn't seen it, the performance of this regular customer was perfect.

"Will you have lunch with me?" Lucius pulled his right hand out of his pocket and reattached his snake stick, his chest puffed out as usual.When the pharmacist turned his head, Lucius just looked up and looked around the small messy space he was in.On a storage table not far from the two of them, a piece of half-eaten bread was placed on a silver plate, monotonous and unappetizing, "I think you need to improve your food."

"Oh, of course, I've been looking forward to it before you came. Wait for me to change." The pharmacist wiped his hands on his apron and went into his dressing room.

Lucius' eyes fell back to the swinging wooden clock, and his thoughts ran out of control again.

angry, huh?

Even if a trap is disguised perfectly and seductively, it cannot change its essence.Just like a threat, no matter how softly it is expressed, can only irritate a Malfoy.

How bad his physical condition is, no one knows better than the user of his body.

And if the users themselves have decided to sit idly by and give up on this, then naturally no one else has any right to criticize it.Respecting the privacy and liberty of others is a polite principle that a gentleman must abide by, isn't it?

Even, in Lucius' view, Scorpius' dismantling of his disguise has already touched the bottom line of his tolerance.

So, can a gentle good morning and care soften Lucius' defense?

The answer is obviously no.

Perhaps the feeling that Scorpius should have more than expectation is rejoicing.Luckily for Lucius, the person he threatened has been helplessly stripped of almost all of his threatening power.

Otherwise, it would be a doubtful fact that the morning could have been spent in peace.

Facing Lucius' peace, Scorpius was undoubtedly excited.

But that brief moment of peace together that morning seemed to be the culmination of their relationship.

Although physical exhaustion was unstoppable, Lucius' inner vigilance would not be as lax as his outward appearance.The pretense of silence and calm lasted only until breakfast was over.

After reading all the letters of the day, Lucius gave the order for Kaka to accompany Scorpius to live in Coleraine Manor in an unquestionable tone.

After a brief silence, Scorpius chose to obey Lucius' instructions.However, under his helpless obedience, Lucius really felt the astonishment and surprise of Scorpius' reaction to him.

This discovery made Lucius even more angry.

A Malfoy can be knocked down, but not underestimated.Young Malfoy still had so much to learn.

Humming a disdainful nasal sound, Lucius forced himself to end this meaningless memory.

******

Coleraine Manor is the closest to the Muggle world among all the properties of the Malfoy family involved in the Muggle world.It is not difficult to understand why Lucius chose this place as the center of the future industrial development of the Malfoy family.

After Scorpius came to Coleraine Manor, he could no longer treat the job of taking over the Malfoy family business negatively with reasons such as "not knowing magic".After all, he had already revealed to Lucius his experience of living in the Muggle world.

The purpose of Lucius throwing Scorpius over is simple.

Because what gathers here are all the Muggle-oriented industries of the Malfoy family.

In the spacious manor, the study that was specially vacated and newly set up for Scorpius was filled with materials shipped from various places in just one week.In addition to various accounts and checklists, there will be countless visitors who visit here for the purpose of reporting and asking for instructions.

When Scorpius wakes up every day, he will immediately see various instructional letters from Lucius sent by Kaka.The content of these instructions, without exception, completely consumed Scorpius' waking hours every day.

Scorpius tried his best to show his favor, but he didn't wait for any news from Lucius beyond the order.

And whenever Scorpius chooses to disobey, he will receive a red letter from Lucius.

Even in the roaring letter, Lucius' voice was still flat without any ups and downs.

If Scorpius still insisted on resisting, there would be no further reaction from Lucius' side.

For seven days, Lucius didn't show up once.

Meanwhile, Scorpius' patience finally ran out.

Perhaps, he never realized his lack of patience.

When he decided to ignore it, put aside his gesture of goodwill, and return to Malfoy Manor on his own.Only then did he realize that Lucius had completely shut down the connection to the fireplace outside Malfoy Manor.The Muggle passage outside the gate of the manor was also impossible to reach because of the activation of the manor's defense.

At the beginning, the reason why Scorpius chose to obey Lucius' resolution was entirely because Lucius' method of driving him out of the Malfoy Manor itself was unlikely to produce any practical results.

This point, both Scorpius and Lucius are very clear.

Therefore, Scorpius has always been suspicious of Lucius' insistence.

Scorpius also thought about the possibility of the fireplace being turned off.But after all, this is not like a switch of a machine, which can be manipulated at will, unless Lucius no longer has the need to leave Malfoy Manor.The latter is obviously impossible.

However, he never thought that in order to avoid him, Lucius would actually choose to completely separate himself from the connection with the world.

Cough—cough—

Lucius' consciousness was awakened by a dull pain in his chest.

The human body is so fragile.When all organs begin to fail, the lungs, which are most directly in contact with the complex world, are the first to begin to be overwhelmed.

In order to help him wake up from the vague and broken dream, the house elf had already prepared for Lucius the soothing incense placed by the bedside.However, this kind of incense with special effects still belongs to the ranks of drugs after all, even if there are no side effects, it cannot avoid the result of drug resistance in users.

Weak and inefficient breathing caused Lucius to fall into confusion for a longer period of time, and the appearance of coughing exacerbated the exhaustion of his only physical strength.

Lucius wasn't sure how long he had been in a coma before waking up this time.

A warm breath gradually fainted at the most painful place.In the darkness, Lucius suddenly felt that the heavy pressure that had been lingering on his chest was slowly released, and then turned into a wave of relaxed fatigue that gradually spread to every corner of his body.

However, this warm and comforting feeling only briefly stayed in Lucius' sea of ​​consciousness for less than five seconds.

Lucius' eyes widened in shock at the strange relaxation.

A pair of beautiful, worried gray eyes flashed in his vision.The young man with soft light blonde short hair put his hands on his chest and gently massaged him through his clothes.

"Father, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've lost weight again."

The author has something to say: I'm sorry, Yuanyuan has been busy going around during this time, and the update came late.

The update time after visual inspection is not guaranteed, but it will definitely not be cheated, and it will not be delayed until the New Year...

Uh... that's all I've said, cover the pot...
