Lucius dreamed about the night of Armageddon, when he held Narcissa's body and watched Draco being taken away by the Aurors helplessly.

Struggling for a night in a boundless dream, Lucius had almost no way to wake up.

After the house elf took care of everything for him, he still felt sleepy and didn't want to open his eyelids.So in the end Lucius left the room later than the previous few days.

When he walked out of the room, he was not surprised to see Scorpius waiting outside the door with his hands down.Although there is also a magic spell to avoid wind and snow in the corridor, but due to the low temperature, his cheeks are slightly flushed from the cold.

"Good morning, father." Scorpius showed a not-so-obvious smile, and followed Lucius half a step behind. "Are you going out today?" Lucius didn't see the wizard hat in his hand After he and the cane, Scorpius' tone became visibly brighter.

"No. Wait and see what you read yesterday. I hope you're not just saying you want to be the heir." Lucius glanced at Scorpius, successfully making the other's childish expression disappear And empty.

During the breakfast, the house elf delivered today's letter to Lucius.

Lucius noticed that since his gaffe in the study last night, Scorpius' attitude towards him seemed to have changed subtly, as if deliberately making himself appear more well-behaved and younger.This is what Lucius didn't want to see, so he kept hypnotizing himself, everything was just an illusion caused by his being too tired.

Scorpius watched Lucius' movements from time to time, until Lucius picked up one of the letters with a delicate silver border and a badge pattern.Scorpius suddenly became quiet and concentrated on eating his breakfast.

Lucius opened the letter and read it at a glance.

"I think you should recognize it. This is a letter from Laila." Lucius raised his eyebrows after reading it, and gently shook the letter paper in his hand at Scorpius.

Scorpius looked up at Lucius' expression, but there was no result, so he lowered his head again without speaking.

"The text message you brought before didn't completely win my trust. For my current situation, your conditions are a bit too good." Lucius suddenly explained, "And you seem to care about it. "

"I don't want to stay in Italy," Scorpius whispered.

"Obviously, that's Lyra's answer too. You don't get along with them, why?" Lucius asked directly, without going around in circles.

"They don't like me, and I don't like them either. Although they took care of me growing up, they just don't like it. I'm alone anyway, and I'd rather be far away from their control." Scorpius put down the fork, the first Responding to Lucius' words with more negative emotions once.

Lucius shrugged and said nothing.Instead, I began to open and read the other letters.

Scorpius waited for a long time, but did not wait for Lucius' conclusion, so he couldn't help feeling a little nervous: "Then father, can I stay?"

"Since you insist, it's just an exchange of benefits..." Lucius' indifferent tone suddenly stopped, and his perfectly armed face suddenly cracked inch by inch.

Scorpius watched Lucius leave his half-late breakfast, got up quickly and obviously anxious, and asked quickly, "Where are you going, father?"

"Go change your clothes now, and go out with me later." Lucius' figure stopped suddenly, and when he turned around, he showed a sad and somewhat gentle expression to Scorpius, "Let's go pick Draco home."
