[HP] Father?dad!

Looking at his taste buds, Neil, who was completely captivated by the food, had already unknowingly relaxed his expression, and he was no longer restrained at the beginning.

Sensing that Neil was finally relaxing, Madam Pomfrey cleverly started the topic, "Neil, is the food still in your mind?" Madam Pomfrey looked at Neil lovingly and asked with concern.

"Madame Pomfrey, the food you cook is really delicious." Neil admired from the bottom of his heart, his face flushed slightly.

"As long as you like it." Neil praised without pretense, making Madam Pomfrey laugh from ear to ear.Such a sensible and polite Neil made Madam Pomfrey love him even more.

Severus lowered his eyes slightly.He found that Neil's learning ability is really very fast. At the beginning, when eating appetizers, Neil could only clumsily cut bread. Sliced ​​fish fillet.Although it is only a small detail, it intuitively reflects Neil's learning ability and comprehension.You know, in school, there are many little trolls who have studied for so many years, but they still can't learn the correct table manners!Such Neil made Severus even more proud and distressed.When Neil officially entered Hogwarts, he found that even though he had such a strong learning ability, he would always fall behind in practical subjects due to his magic power. How painful it would be for him, How cruel would it be? !Even if Severus didn't think about it from a father's point of view, but from a Slytherin's point of view, Severus found it unbearable.And all of this was caused by that traitor Blake!The deep hatred for Black made Severus completely ignore why Black had to take magic supplements during pregnancy since he had already made up his mind to abandon his parents and children.Perhaps, for Severus, even thinking about it, he would only think that Black took the magic power supplement because he didn't want to damage his magic power.After all, during pregnancy, if the pregnant woman does not insist on taking magic power supplements, not only will the magic power development of the fetus be affected, but serious adults may also become squibs due to insufficient magic power supply.For so many years, the deep hatred and boundless resentment towards Sirius Black had already made Severus unable to rationally analyze Black.

With the last dish of caramelized eggs on the table, the dinner finally came to an end.

Looking at the caramel stewed eggs in front of him, Severus' face turned black into the bottom of the pot.Severus didn't like desserts at all, and the crispy baked apples that were known for their crispness could still be tolerated, but the caramel stewed eggs, known for their sweetness, were really unacceptable to him.At this time, Severus noticed that Neil had finished his caramelized eggs and was licking his lips with endless aftertaste.

Reminiscing about the tenderness and crispiness of the caramel stewed eggs, Neil put down the spoon in his hand.At this time, a new caramel stewed egg appeared in front of Neil's eyes.

Neil looked up, looking at Severus puzzled.

Severus cleared his throat uncomfortably, and said, "I don't like dessert." As soon as he finished speaking, Severus looked away.

Looking at the caramel stewed eggs in front of him, Neil was slightly dazed.It never occurred to him that the man would be willing to offer him the food. "Thank you." After hesitating for a few seconds, Neil still reluctantly accepted the gift from that man, adhering to the belief that he would never push food away.

Bite by bite, he ate the caramel stewed eggs in the bowl. For some reason, it tasted the same, but Neil felt that the bowl in front of him tasted much smoother.Taking a peek at the man sitting on the left, Neil's heart beat a little faster.Why is he willing to give up the food to himself like old Jeff?Although he didn't dare to think about the reason, the corner of Neil's mouth covered by the bowl couldn't help but grinned.

19 Spider's End Lane.

The second time he experienced the feeling of teleportation, Neil's performance was much better than the first time.At the destination, Nildo closed his eyes for two seconds to suppress his dizziness, and then opened his eyes, his whole body had returned to normal.

After eating just now, Severus couldn't wait to take Neil away.Although Neil was slightly reluctant to Madam Pomfrey, he knew that he had no right to speak, so he also pretended to be obedient and obediently followed Severus away.

Opening his eyes, Neil realized that he was already in the living room of the man's house in front of him.The living room of Severus's house is unique, with black curtains, black sofa, black coffee table and wooden floor, the white walls are slightly yellow due to the age, there are some corners, and the walls are still Some fell off, revealing spots of black marks.He secretly raised his eyes to look at Severus, who was covered in pitch black. The strange and depressing environment was superimposed with the tension of being alone with the man in front of him, and Neil became a little cautious again.

"Now, we need to talk." Severus looked down at Neil, pointing to the sofa and beckoning him to sit down.

Seeing Severus' unquestionable expression, Neil didn't refute, walked to the only sofa in silence, sat down, raised his head, and looked straight at Severus expressionlessly.

After Neil sat down, Severus waved his wand, turned the coffee table into a high-back chair, and sat opposite Neil.

Sitting on the chair, Severus had a complex expression on his face. He wanted to ask his son many questions, but he, who was never good at communication, didn't know where to start.

"Who was the man who hurt you?" Finally, Severus chose a question he wanted to know the most.

"That man is a homeless man named Jerry." Knowing what Severus wanted to ask, Neil didn't go around in circles. Pry the door of that house and occupy it." Neil stated the facts flatly, without exaggeration or concealment.

"Why did that man beat you?" Severus frowned after hearing Neil's narration.

"He didn't want to hit me on purpose, he just threw the bottle on me because he was drunk." Neil hesitated for two seconds before answering truthfully.

"...You've been alone all these years?" Severus raised his voice slightly, not believing it.Because according to what Neil said before, he was abandoned when he was a baby. If there were no well-meaning people to adopt and take care of him, it would be impossible for him to grow up smoothly.

Hearing this question, Neil's eyes were cold.He studied Severus' expression carefully, trying to see why he wanted to ask this question.

Neil's defensive look made Severus realize that his question had hurt him a little.Severus didn't show any expression, but felt a little frustrated in his heart.He really didn't know how to get along with a child, especially if the child was his own son.Trying hard to slow down his expression, Severus stiffly tried to elicit a smile, but his face was distorted because he hadn't smiled for a long time.

Severus' performance made Neil retract some of the thorns that stood up a little.Feeling that he was not malicious, but simply wanted to care about himself, Neil's sense of resistance to the man in front of him weakened a little.

"When I was young, my grandfather adopted me. My grandfather's name was Jerry Hill, so I followed his surname Hill. Before I was 9 years old, my grandfather and I lived together. My grandfather had no house or money, so, We have been wandering around. When I was 7 years old, my grandfather spent all his savings and sent me to primary school for two years, but he died because he had no money for medical treatment. Since then, I have been alone." Neil did not hide his previous experience.Although it was a bit embarrassing, he knew clearly that in order to get along with this man for a long time, it was necessary to explain his past clearly.When he said this, Neil choked up a little, his eyes widened, desperately trying to stop the tears from falling down.

Neil's explanation gave Severus a more intuitive understanding of his current life situation. The poverty in his childhood made Severus empathize with Neil's experience.This is his son... But, for so many years, I have never cared about him, and let him live a better life than when I was a child... Reminiscent of his childhood, Severus's mouth became more and more bitter... From then on, He should treat him well and make up for his child...

☆, exam

Having a general understanding of Neal's situation, Severus paused the inquiry.Standing up, Severus turned his back and said, "Come here first today, I'll take you to your bedroom."

Seeing Severus turn around, Neil quickly raised his hand, wiped the tears from his eyes, and stood up as if nothing had happened.

Compared to Madam Pomfrey's residence, 19 Spider's End Lane is much smaller.Following Severus, Neil took the stairs in the corner of the living room to the second floor.The house has been in disrepair for a long time, the stairs are rickety, and there is a "creaking" sound when stepping on it.

Going up to the second floor, through a door, Severus led Neil to a room deep in the corridor.It seems that the room just now should be this man's bedroom.Neil had a general understanding of the house.

Severus pushed open the door. "There is a bathroom in the room. Go to bed early, and tomorrow we will go buy things for school." Seeing Neil enter the room, Severus closed the door and turned to leave.

Entering the room, the cool air instantly drives away the heat of the sun.Neil guessed that this must be another miraculous manifestation of magic. Thinking of this, Neil looked forward to the arrival of the next day even more.Standing in the middle of the room, Neil looked around.This is a bedroom of about twenty square meters, and the room is spotless.Directly opposite the door was a large window hung with striped curtains of silver and green.There is a black wooden desk on the right side of the window, which is clean.Neil was a little disappointed, the empty desk discouraged him from reading.To the left of the window stood a black single bed covered with silver-green sheets.Taking a closer look, Neil found two sets of clothes on the bed.From the style point of view, a set should be pajamas.The other set was the wizard robe he saw wearing on that man today.Neil gestured on his body and found that the size was just right.Holding the clothes in his hand, Neil's face stretched out.It seems that this man is not useless - Neil thought awkwardly, not admitting that he was full of surprise and emotion when he saw this well-decorated bedroom.

Carefully stroking the fabric of the bed sheet, Neil's eyes darkened.Neil had never seen such silky, soft sheets in his life.The fabrics he uses are always rough and rough, even cotton is a luxury for him, let alone such high-grade fabrics.It seems that this man is really rich, and he is so extravagant and generous even to himself, a kid who just popped up out of nowhere.

After carefully refolding the clothes and putting them back on the bed, Neil walked into the bathroom on the left side of the bedroom.The bathroom is not big, and the bathtub, washstand and toilet are just placed in the bathroom.Next to the bathtub is a small stool with three bottles lined up on it.Neil picked them up one by one and looked at them.There is no writing on the three bottles, the first bottle has a picture of a bathtub full of bubbles, the second bottle has a picture of a little boy with bubbles on his head, and the last bottle has a picture of a boy covered in bubbles. Little boy full of speech bubbles.Looking at the three bottles, Neil was a little at a loss.The functions of the latter two bottles, Neil could guess, were for shampooing and bathing.When Old Jeff was still there, he always worked hard to satisfy himself in this regard. As long as he had spare money, he would still find a way to buy shampoo and body wash to ensure his cleanliness.Remember, in order to save money, he protested against this, and felt that there was no need to waste money on these luxuries.However, old Jeff gently touched his head and told himself that children must be kept clean in order to be healthy.

Wiping his face, Neil's hands were full of tears.Why is this world so unfair?When I was still struggling to survive, some people, like this man, lived so rich and carefree? !Obviously, it should be this man's responsibility, but when old Jeff broke his body for himself and fell into a deep sleep forever under the cold bridge hole, this man may be drinking fine wine, eating delicious food, or even Enjoy the beauties!Yes, he does not know his existence!But it's just such a fluffy sentence, can it be said that it is right for him not to bear the slightest responsibility in his life for so many years? !Since I don't want to be responsible, why don't I bother to manage my few drops of liquid while enjoying it? !

Neal was angry but had nowhere to say it.After taking a few deep breaths, Neil gradually calmed down.He knew that now he couldn't fall out with this man.It's only natural for this man to raise himself!I can't let him grab any braids, and then have a reason to abandon myself again with confidence!

early morning.

That night, Neil tossed and turned, and didn't fall asleep until late at night.However, the fear of being in a new environment beyond his control and the long-term biological clock made Neil wake up automatically from one to five o'clock.

After washing up, Neil changed into his wizard robe, walked to the window, and opened the curtains.At this time, the sky was just a little bit bright, and there was a little red light in the depths of the white clouds, which smudged the white clouds with a red border.

Taking a deep breath, Neil exhaled the stale air in his lungs.Looking into the distance, Neil worked hard to adjust his expression, trying to show a smile that belonged to a child.It wasn't until the corners of his mouth became stiff that Neil straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and tiptoed out of the room.

The room was quiet, Neil took a few steps and came to Severus' door.Seeing Severus' door shut, Neil guessed he might not be up yet.Muttering 'slacker', Neil quickened his pace and walked downstairs.

Meanwhile, Severus was in the cellar.He had brewed the potion overnight.Severus' face was sallow, and his hair was greasy from the continuous brewing of potions.As soon as he bottled the potion, Severus felt the warning spell he had placed in the room activated.Raising his eyebrows in surprise, Severus waved his wand and looked at the time, it was only 5:20.

Surprised that Neil got up so early, Severus speeded up the progress in his hands, packed up the potion table, picked up the brewed potion, and walked out of the cellar.

As soon as he was done on the sofa, Neil noticed the man approaching roughly from the depths of the first floor.Did I guess wrong?Isn't his bedroom on the second floor?Neil was a little puzzled in his heart, but his expression remained calm.

"Father." When Severus walked in, Neil stood up respectfully.

Severus nodded and handed the potion bottle to Neil. "Drink it."

After taking the potion bottle, Neil didn't drink it right away obediently. "What is this?" Fascinated by the colorful charm in the bottle, Neil asked casually pretending to be curious.For this man, Neil is very vigilant.

"Potions to heal your body." Severus replied evasively.Neil doesn't even know much about the magic world now, so he doesn't want to explain the specific effects of this bottle of potion to him at this time.

After listening to Severus' explanation, and thinking about it, he knew that this man could not blatantly poison him, so Neil didn't ask any more questions, and obediently drank the potion.

Watching Neil drink up the potion neatly, Severus took back the empty bottle with satisfaction. "Now I will give you a general introduction to the basic common sense of the magic world." After putting away the bottle, Severus sat down and assumed the posture of a long talk.

Seeing this, Neil quickly sat down.Straightening his back, Neil leaned forward slightly, his face full of excitement and longing.Ever since he knew he was a wizard yesterday, Neil has been looking forward to gaining a deeper understanding of the magic world.

Severus talked for more than an hour before he introduced the general situation of the wizarding world and the situation of Hogwarts.

"Father, you just said that Hogwarts is divided into Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor. What house do you belong to?" After listening to Severus' introduction, , Neil wanted to ask.When Severus' narration came to an end, Neil hurriedly asked.

"Slytherin." Severus replied without hesitation, "I am the head of Slytherin." Severus looked calm, but his eyes were a little complicated.

Slytherin... Neil murmured in his heart, and Neil was a little curious about this academy.Only by fully analyzing and understanding a man's personality and growth environment, can he get along with this man as safely as possible.At this moment, Neil set himself a short-term task - to understand Slytherin.

"Now!" Severus raised his voice, "Let's do a simple test."

Unexpectedly, there would be a sudden exam, and Neil was a little surprised.However, Neil is not afraid of this in the slightest, on the contrary, he is a little eager to try.

"You go to the room to write, and take down the parchment." Seeing Neil's performance, Severus was secretly satisfied.His positive and serious attitude towards learning made Severus feel satisfied with him. He was worthy of being his own child, and he was different from the little trolls at school who couldn't read any books.

kitchen.

Before returning home last night, Madam Pomfrey had stuffed Severus with a bunch of ingredients and recipes.At this time, Severus was cooking oatmeal according to the breakfast recipe Madam Pomfrey had given Neil.This was the first time Severus made porridge, and since there were no kitchen utensils, Severus chose a pewter pot for potions to cook oatmeal.

Looking at the steaming cauldron in front of him, Severus looked deeply.This is the first time he has cooked porridge since he grew up, but he didn't expect it to be his son.Since Lily left, Severus has fallen into the abyss of self-blame, regret and despair.For so many years, his only mission in this world is to protect Lily's son to grow up safely. He never expected to have his own blood in his lifetime.Severus had mixed feelings about Neil.On the one hand, ever since he knew about Neil's existence, Severus felt deeply guilty towards him.It was his irresponsible behavior that made his son have such a miserable life for so many years. The only thing he can do now is to try his best to make up for him and take good care of him.On the other hand, thinking of the other half of the provider of Neil's blood, Severus felt extremely overwhelmed.However, none of this is Neil's fault, he is innocent.If I hated Neil because of this, then what is the difference between this kind of me and Tobias, the man who hated me because I have the blood of a wizard? !All of this is my own sin...

Neil's movements were faster than Severus expected, but a little over half an hour later, Severus heard the creaking sound of the stairs.With a wave of Severus' wand, two steaming bowls of oatmeal and two buttered buns flew onto the coffee table that turned into a dining table.

Neil returned to the living room again, and was surprised to find that the layout of the living room had changed.The coffee table and sofa in the center of the living room are gone, replaced by a small dining table and two high-back chairs.In the past two days, Neil has seen a lot of the wonders of magic one after another, and he is gradually not as surprised as he was at the beginning.

Walking up to Severus, Neil handed over the paper with both hands. "Father, please take a look." Severus's test paper only tests Neil's mastery of English and Latin, and Neil is not very satisfied with his answers. Although the English part is not a big problem, but Neal had barely touched Latin, so a third of the paper was blank.

Severus took the test paper and pointed to the empty seat opposite him. "Sit down and have breakfast first."

Neil sat down obediently, but didn't start eating, just looked at Severus anxiously.

Severus read the test paper carefully, and had a clear understanding of Neil's language level.Neil's English is very good, and he has been ranked in the upper middle of the first graders at Hogwarts, but his Latin is not good at all. According to the test paper, he has almost no contact with Latin.After closing the test paper, Severus had a rough idea of ​​Neil's study plan for the next month.

"Why don't you eat it? It doesn't suit your appetite?" Severus frowned. This was his first time cooking. Although the operation was completely in accordance with the recipe, Severus was still a little worried about the bad taste.

Neil shook his head quickly. "No." In Neil's opinion, these two meals can be called extremely sumptuous. You must know that Neil usually skips breakfast in the morning, and it is good enough to eat half a black bread once in a while. "I just want to know the situation of my test paper." Speaking of this, Neil straightened his back, his expression slightly nervous, "I know, I didn't answer well. But I promise, I will study hard in the future. "Neil has always been hungry for learning.He knows that only by studying hard can he become stronger and control his own destiny.Ever since he was sensible, Neil was unwilling to let go of any opportunity to learn knowledge, whether it was asking old Jeff when he was homeless, or going to the library every day when he was in school. Therefore, Neil was able to learn six years of primary school within two years. knowledge.It's just that Latin English is something only in middle school, so Neil didn't have the opportunity to get in touch with it.Neil was very discouraged by the poor response to this question.He was afraid that the man in front of him would feel that he had no plasticity because of this, and he was unwilling to teach himself any more.

"Not bad." Severus put away the test paper, with an understatement. "From your test paper, it can be seen that compared with most monsters of your age whose brains are covered with achnatherum, your head is not just stuffed with decorative straw."

not bad?Neil couldn't believe his ears.After carefully analyzing the man's words twice, Neil showed a shy smile when he realized that the man was praising him.

"I will work harder!" At this moment, Neil was full of energy.Putting down the big stone in his heart, Neil picked up the spoon and started to enjoy breakfast.

Watching Neil's unconscious intoxication while eating oatmeal, Severus curled his lips in satisfaction.It seems that my cooking skills are not too bad?

☆, Diagon Alley

After a delicious breakfast, Severus apparated to the Leaky Cauldron with Neil.

At breakfast time, there were only two or three people in the bar.The bar is small, dirty and poorly lit.The bar owner was wiping his glass on the bar counter, when he saw Severus walking into the bar with a child, he whispered, "Professor Snape, another freshman?"

Severus replied with a "Hmm".Knowing that Severus never got close to people, the bar owner continued to wipe his glass without saying a word.

Leading Neil, Severus walked through the bar and came to the patio.Pulling out his wand, Severus said, "Remember carefully."

"Yes." Neil nodded, watching Severus' movements intently.

Severus used his wand to count three tiles above the bin, then two tiles further down, and finally tapped three times with his wand.

The brick he knocked on shook quickly and began to move, a small hole appeared in the middle, which became bigger and bigger, and after a while, a wide archway connecting a winding street appeared in front of them.

Although he has seen a lot of magic in the past two days, such a huge magic still made Neil's eyes widen in surprise.

When he came back to his senses, Neil realized that Severus had walked out of the archway, trotted a few steps, and chased after him.

The main reason why Severus chose to bring Neil to Diagon Alley today was because he wanted to prepare some comfortable clothes for Neil.So Severus first took Neil to Madam Malkin's robe shop.

As soon as he entered the shop, a short, fat witch greeted him.

"Severus, bring new students here to buy uniforms for Hogwarts school?" Madam Malkin smiled kindly.

Severus nodded. "Madame Pomfrey, please make him 4 sets of uniforms, and then make 5 sets of the clothes he usually wears from the inside to the outside of the four seasons, and the material should be the most comfortable." Severus said, reaching out to hide the clothes behind him Neil pulled it out and pushed it to the front.

Neil behind Severus couldn't react in time and staggered.This was the first time he bought so many new clothes, and he never expected that this man would be so generous to him, and Neil was a little stunned when he was extremely surprised.Severus reached out to stabilize Neil's figure.

Neil's ears were slightly red and he lowered his head, feeling a little annoyed at his gaffe.Glancing furtively at Severus, Neil felt that the man's expressionless face seemed less annoying than before.

"Hello, dear little guest." Madam Malkin smiled kindly, and with a wave of her hand, a tape measure flew into the sky and arrived in front of Neil. "Don't be afraid, let me measure you first."

As soon as Mrs. Malkin finished speaking, the tape measure was playfully wrapped around Neil's body.Neil moved uncomfortably, but he didn't resist. He just stood obediently and let the ruler do what he wanted.

Seeing this scene, Severus frowned unhappily, exuding a strong air of coldness.As if feeling that the people behind him were not easy to mess with, the tape measure calmed down, quickly finished measuring, and hid behind Mrs. Mojin.

Neil breathed a sigh of relief, looked up, and Neil flashed a shy smile at Severus.

At this time, Mrs. Mojin saw the face of this little guest clearly for the first time.With a burst of exclamation, Mrs. Malkin covered her mouth. "Severus, is this your son?"

Severus' face darkened instantly. "How much?" Severus didn't answer Madam Malkin's question.

Realizing her gaffe, Madam Malkin smiled embarrassedly. "28 Galleons and 3 Sickles. Because there are a lot of clothes, they may not be finished until tomorrow. Can I send you the clothes tomorrow?"

Severus nodded, paid, took Neil's hand, and strode out of the store.

Hearing that Severus didn't admit the relationship between the two, and couldn't explain why, Neil felt a little bit lost in his heart.Before he had time to think about it, Neil was taken aback by Severus' sudden hand-holding, and his mind went blank.

He followed along in a daze, and when Neil came back to his senses again, he found that the two had entered a very crowded small shop.

Entering the store, Severus let go of Neil's hand with a slightly uncomfortable expression.

"Good morning." A soft voice suddenly appeared, breaking the embarrassment between the two.

Severus cleared his throat, "Ollivander, choose a wand for him." Severus' words were as concise and clear as ever.

"Hello." Looking at the cardboard boxes piled up almost to the height of the ceiling, Neil was a little cautious; thinking that he would soon have his own wand, Neil felt a burst of excitement again.

"Yes, yes." Ollivander said, scanning Severus' and Neil's faces sharply. "My little gentleman, which hand is your usual dominant hand?"

"Right hand." Neil replied quickly.

Carefully measuring the size for Neil, Ollivander kept talking: "The essence of Ollivander's wand is that each wand has a super strong magic substance. Usually, I use unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers Or the nerve of a dragon as the main body of the wand. In my hand, each wand is unique, because in this world, no two unicorns, dragons or phoenixes are exactly alike. Here, you will meet To your own wand, it will maximize your magic power."

When the tape measure automatically measured the size, Ollivander shuttled between the shelves and unloaded several long boxes.

"Come on, try this one." Ollivander said, the ruler fell to the ground and curled up on the ground. "Bucklewood and dragon's nerves, ten inches long. Very springy, try it—"

Neil took the wand and waved his hand. A warm current flowed through his body and flowed to his fingertips. The tip of the wand emitted a faint light.

Ollivander had a serious expression on his face. "Very good, very good. This is it. You were very lucky to find your wand of destiny for the first time. It's just—" Severus behind Neil shook Ollivander slightly Shake your head.

"Just what, Mr. Ollivander?" Neil urgently asked about the information of his wand.

"Nothing." Ollivander changed the subject, "Seven Galleons in total, thank you for your patronage."

Neil was a little puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it. He just stroked his new wand lovingly.

Severus paid Garen, pulled Neil and walked out of the store.

The next stop is Lihen Bookstore.Rows of bookshelves are filled with all kinds of books, exuding a strong fragrance of ink.There are two or three small stools in the middle of the bookstore for customers to choose carefully in the bookstore.Looking at the books in the room, Neil was ecstatic. "Father, can we stay here a little longer?" The strong desire for the book captured Neil's reason and courage, and Neil looked at Severus expectantly.

Severus nodded, agreeing.Severus was very pleased that Neil liked to read, so naturally he would not stop him.Pointing to the leftmost bookshelf with his finger, "You can browse some books on that shelf first." Severus drew a range for Neil. Some books in the wizarding world are inherently dangerous. The books on the bookshelves are all safe. Even if some books Neil can't read now, there will be no accidents.

Neil excitedly ran to the bookshelf after receiving Severus' instruction.

For the past two days, Neil has been acting very reserved and guarded. This is the first time Severus has seen Neil look so energetic.Although Severus was surprised that Neil liked reading so much, he felt unexpectedly appropriate.As expected of his own son, even his hobbies are so similar to his own.

After buying the textbooks for the first grade and the books he drafted for Neil that he needed to finish in the first grade, Severus used the Shrinking Charm to shrink the books and put them in his pocket.

Looking at the small figure immersed in the books not far away, Severus felt a little heavy.The scene at the wand shop just now was still recurring in Severus' mind. Severus would accompany many freshmen to buy wands every year, so he knew very well that the magical effect when the wand was successfully tried largely reflected the wizard's The level of magic power.As for Neil, he can be regarded as the wizard with the least magical effect he has seen in so many years.Thinking of this, Severus felt extremely distressed, and the resentment towards Black deepened in his heart.

When I came out of the bookstore, it was already noon.After reading the books all morning, Neil's face was flushed with a high degree of concentration.

"Father, where are we going now?" Neil stretched a lot after swimming in the ocean of books all morning.Immersed in the aftertaste of excitement brought about by reading, Neil took the initiative to ask about the itinerary for the first time.

"Go to lunch first." Severus stopped holding Neil's hand, but accommodated Neil's pace, deliberately slowing down.

After lunch, Severus took Neil to the potions shop.After completing the potion materials he needed for teaching in the next school year and the potion equipment Neil needed, Severus took Neil to the last stop of the day - the Magic Zoo Pet Shop.

Seeing all kinds of pets in the store, Neil was a little overwhelmed.
