[HP] Father?dad!

Severus brewing the potion.Walking to his own potion table, Neil set up the crucible and started making the potion with all his heart.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&Dividing line&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The potion was not difficult, and after more than an hour, Neil completed the entire brewing process.After packing up the potion table, Neil quietly left the potion room without disturbing Severus who was still immersed in the potion.

Back at Black's house again, Neil was not surprised that Sirius hadn't woken up yet.After putting five bottles of potion on the table, Neil took out the book under the table to pass the time.

After another two hours, Sirius finally yawned and walked downstairs.

"Where's Harry?" Seeing that Neil was alone in the living room, Sirius asked.

"He's doing his summer homework in his bedroom." Harry has been frantically working on his summer homework for the past two days.Neil believed that if it weren't for the World Cup, Harry's homework would have been delayed until the last moment of the summer vacation.

Pushing the potion on the table towards Sirius, Neil signaled Sirius to drink it. "This is the spirit accumulation potion I brewed for you. Drinking it can make you more energetic. Drink a bottle every other day, and you need to drink it five times in total."

Sirius looked at the swamp-colored potion on the table and swallowed.Glancing quietly at Neil, who had an unquestionable expression, Sirius picked up a bottle as if death was at home.This is the wish of my son!No matter how difficult it is to drink, you have to pour it in!

After drinking all the liquid in the bottle in one gulp, Sirius stuck out his tongue.It's so bad, it smells like soap bubbles!

Sirius' face wrinkled into a ball, and it took a while to relax.

"Baby, you're so kind!" Sitting down on the sofa, Sirius embraced Neil.Regardless of whether this works or not, being able to get his son's care is enough to turn him into a beauty!At this moment, Sirius felt that his son was the most sensible son in the world, and he knew how to care about his father at such a young age!

Hearing Sirius' unadorned praise, the corners of Neil's mouth rose slightly.Seeing that Sirius' mood had returned to calm, and his whole body had returned to a state full of vitality, Neil felt relieved.As for Pediru, Neil can only regretfully say that only if he has a chance in the future, he will read it——

☆, World Cup

On the eve of the World Cup, Sirius took Harry to Snape's house through the fireplace.At this point, Neil and Severus were having dinner.

Severus put down the tableware in his hand, picked up the paper towel on the table and wiped his mouth lightly. "I remember, I didn't seem to have invited you?" Severus smirked and raised his eyebrows.This is of course not true, although Severus did not say that he agreed to participate in the World Cup, but knowing that Black was coming tonight, Severus secretly activated the permission of the fireplace, otherwise the two of them would not be able to reach Snape's house. "Is this the courtesy of your being a guest? Come here uninvited, and choose a special time for dinner? Could it be that you can't afford to eat at Black's house?" Severus had already finished eating at this time, but he always asked Neil Eat slowly, so he is still on the table with Neil.

"You think I'm rare!" After hearing what Severus said, Sirius immediately fought back subconsciously.Normally, Neil often shuttled between Black's house and Snape's house, Sirius couldn't notice the loophole in Severus' words, and he didn't expect that Severus would replace the fireplace after he broke into Snape's house. After setting, usually, the permission to go back and forth from Black's house is only open to Neil. "If my beloved little Neil hadn't been here, I wouldn't have come if you asked me to."

Unmoved, Neil cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth.Now, he has learned to ignore the quarrel between his father and dad.In other words, it doesn't matter if you are a father, why does your father, who is usually stable and unusual, suddenly lose his IQ when he sees him?Is this a special way of expressing love between the two of them?

"Professor Snape." Standing beside Sirius, Harry licked his lips nervously.

"Potter?" Severus glanced at Harry condescendingly, and spit out two words inexplicably. "In my territory, please keep an eye on your feet and curb your Gryffindor spirit of adventure. Remember, don't go where you shouldn't!" After finishing speaking, Severus turned around and strode forward Go to the basement and hand it over to Neil for entertainment.

Behind Severus, Sirius grimaced at the back.

"Finally the eye-obscuring person is gone!" After Severus left, Sirius stretched himself out and sat on the sofa in a big way, not at all aware that this was not his home.Harry sat next to Sirius carefully on the sofa.

After taking the last bite of creme brulee, Neil left the table and came to Sirius.

"How soon did we leave?" Neil certainly didn't think that Severus was avoiding Sirius on purpose.In the Snake King's territory, no one can make him dodge.He knew that his father was just in a hurry to get the final touch on his pot of potion.Sitting next to Harry, Neil began to ask about the arrangements for the trip.

Sirius took out a small thing from his bag and threw it on the table with a 'clang'. "The door key to the World Cup. The set activation time is one hour later." It was an old bronze medal with mottled marks all over it. "It took me a while to get the door key, and we don't need to go to the designated place to find it." Sirius said showing off, his tail almost raised to the sky.

Harry looked around quietly, a little out of his wits.

"Harry, what's wrong with you?" Neil looked concerned after pushing Harry aside.

"...I never thought that one day, I would actually walk into Professor Snape's house... It's just incredible... If I told Ron them, it would definitely be listed as a Gryffindor Ten wonders..." Looking around, Harry felt dizzy.

Neil rolled his eyes.Please, his house is not a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, so why not? "You'd better not go to Gryffindor to show off. You better not even tell Ron and Hermione." In the end, Neil still urged.

"Why?" Harry tilted his head in confusion, looking at Neil.

Neil scratched his hair impatiently, and replied perfunctorily. "I don't want them to know. Okay?"

Although he didn't understand why, Harry still nodded and agreed to Neil's little request.

……

After brewing the potion, Severus bottled the potion and tidied up the potion table.Since Neal's magical circulatory system recovered, Severus began to develop how to further regulate his body so that he could completely escape the damage caused by his previous diseases.After a period of research, Severus finally made a potion that was specially designed for Neil's situation and had no side effects at all.

After thinking about it, Severus put the potion in the medicine cabinet, ready to let him drink it when he came back.Although this potion has no side effects, Neil has suffered from stomach problems for many years after all. After drinking this potion, he has to eat and drink very taboo within three days.

……

On the other end, the conversation between Neil and Sirius continued.

"Then where did we go and where do we live?" Neil was most concerned about this question.After such a long time of wandering, Neil didn't want to have the experience of sleeping outside again in his life.Considering Sirius' unreliability, Neil still felt that he had to ask every question clearly before he could rest assured.

"Don't worry, Neil. I brought a tent." Sirius pointed to the bag he was carrying.It can be seen that there is obviously another space in this bag. "It's definitely enough." As he said, Sirius passed his hand over Harry's back, and vigorously stroked Neil's hair. "Children only need to play carefree, and let us adults worry about other things."

The corner of Neil's mouth twitched.Don't worry about leaving it to the adults...

Harry, who was sitting in the middle, was a little distracted.He wanted to visit Neil's house very much, but considering that Professor Snape mercilessly asked him not to run around after meeting just now, Harry took a gamble and was unwilling to speak.

……

After almost an hour, Severus came out of the cellar in a hurry.

"How long does it take to leave?" Severus glanced casually at Sirius and Harry without stopping, and looked at Neil, asking for the time.

"There are still 5 minutes." Neil pointed to the bronze medal on the coffee table. "This is the Portkey."

Severus nodded, indicating that he understood, without looking at Sirius and Harry, he just lowered his head, thinking silently.

As far as his heart is concerned, he simply does not want to participate in an event that is neither nutritious nor time-consuming, such as the World Cup.It's just that Lucius came to find him mysteriously before and invited him to participate in this World Cup.Not knowing what medicine Lucius sold in his bones, Severus was still hesitating whether to go or not, so he was provoked by Sirius.Severus also pretended to be excited, and agreed.Although Severus was depressed later and wanted Black to be in the same room, but seeing Neil's expression full of confidence at this moment, not as gloomy and gloomy as it was a year ago, Severus also relieved.After all, he and Blake were Neal's parents.It was already a fact that they couldn't live together, but if there was a chance, it would be a concern for Neil to get along with the two of them at the same time.

Hold the door key.About a minute later, Neil made a sound, breaking the silence in the room.The drowsy Sirius was stunned and woke up.Harry and Neil had already stood up, stretched out their hands, and took the lead in holding one end of the portkey.And Severus followed closely to grab the Portkey.

"Father, hurry up!" Neil couldn't help urging, seeing Sirius's unexpected look.Only now Sirius grasped the portkey in a trance.

In a few steps, the moment Sirius held the Portkey, the Portkey started.After the space distorted for a while, a group of four people appeared in another place thousands of miles away.

Neil steadied Harry and Sirius who were staggering, while Severus stood upright and stood far away.They came to a barren swamp.The surrounding area is misty and misty, and the distance is blurred.Two spirited wizards appeared in front of them.

"Good morning, Basil." Sirius shook his dizzy head and stepped forward to negotiate.Severus folded his arms and stood far away, saying nothing.

"Good morning, Sirius." Basil said in a high voice. "It's really early for you to arrive. You are our first guests." Holding a notebook and parchment in his hand, Basil searched for the camp that belonged to Black.Severus on the side frowned after hearing Basil's words, but didn't make a sound. "Let me take a look... Black... Go back and go around, the third camp is yours... When you get there, look for Daniel."

"Thanks, Basil." Sirius waved his hand gracefully. "Let's go! Children!" With that said, Sirius gave Severus a provocative look, and walked forward with one arm in his arms, ignoring Severus who was standing aside.

"Childish!" Severus looked at Black in front of him and spat out two words with disdain.Lifting his footsteps, Severus walked forward silently, maintaining a distance that was far behind but not lost.

After crossing a large swamp, a group of four came to an open field.The clearing was empty and desolate. Neil looked around and didn't see Sirius' so-called tent.Raising his head, Neil looked at Sirius suspiciously.

Sirius smiled dryly.He wouldn't say that he deliberately chose the Portkey that arrived the earliest in order to spend more time with Nil.

"Hello, Daniel." At this time, a big man with a beard came over.Sirius rushed forward as if he had been pardoned. "Where is our camp?"

"Hi, Sirius! It's really early for you to come!" Daniel walked over and patted Sirius on the back heavily.After looking at the list, Daniel spoke. "It's right in front. Just walk over and look at the one with a 6 on the ground. It's in the middle of the camp."

"Okay, thanks!" After waving his hand, Sirius continued to walk forward with the children.

Seeing Sirius' guilty conscience, Neil smiled and shook his head, not trying to expose him.Another short walk.The group of four finally stopped.

A small 6 sign appeared in front of their eyes——

☆, World Cup ([-])

"Start building the tent!" Sirius cheered, let go of Harry and Neil's hands, opened the bag on his back, took out all the tent parts from inside, and placed them on the ground.

Neil squatted down and began to help build it.Neil rarely uses the tent. In the winter when he was 4,5 or [-] years old, old Jeff was lucky enough to pick up a tent.With that tent, Neil spent that winter much warmer than usual.It's a pity that when spring was about to start, a group of half-grown boys teamed up to snatch the tent.After that, Neal never used the tent again.Seeing Sirius and Harry laughing and trying to set up the tent, Neil stared at the front without focus, a little lost in thought.

Severus, who was standing not far away, keenly noticed that something was wrong with Neal.Severus' heart tightened.He knew very well that Neil did not have a sad temperament. Compared with children of the same age, Neil was more rational and able to control his emotions.At this time, Neil must have seen something that touched his nerves, and then he showed a trace of weakness.

Taking two steps forward, Severus patted Neil's shoulder lightly.

Feeling the comfort from his father, Neil raised his head a little flattered.Seeing the hidden encouragement and support in Severus' face, Neil twitched his lips and regained some vitality.Indeed, those pasts are gone, and now he has a wise and stable father, an energetic father, good friends who care about him, and strength that he didn't have before.The present me is no longer the penniless Neil who can only hide in the corner and obediently hand over the money he earns when he is robbed by the older children.

Smiling at Severus, indicating that he was fine, Neil settled down and threw himself into the construction of the tent.

Contrary to Neil's expectations, Sirius not only didn't make trouble, but was very good at setting up the tent.With Harry's help, Sirius had already finished the prototype of the tent.After confirming that Sirius and Harry were fine, Neil simply took two steps back and waited side by side with Severus for the tent to be completed.

With the last-minute nails put in, a tent is finally built.This is a low-key but luxurious tent with towering Gothic pointed arches and intricate flower decorations on the body of the tent, which is light but steep.

Neil's eyelashes flickered. "Dad, is this the tent you chose?" Neil asked suspiciously.In his opinion, the tent had a strong smell of Slytherin, not Sirius' style at all.

Sirius was taking two steps back, admiring his masterpiece.Hearing Neil's question, Sirius was startled. "No." Sirius shook his head.His expression was a mix of nostalgia and disgust, and there was a hint of emotion in his eyes that Neil couldn't understand. "I found this tent from home and it has been in use for many years."

"That's right." Harry on the side followed suit, "The godfather and I searched for a long time before we found this tent."

Neil frowned. "Kreacher is disobedient again?" If it was true, then this kind of rebellious elf must not stay.Neil still remembers the lessons learned by Draco, and he will never allow a second Dobby to appear in the Black family.

"No." Harry scratched his head, "It's Sirius who doesn't want to order Kreacher." Harry could see clearly, since Neil taught Kreacher a lesson, although Kreacher no longer openly resisted them, let him do something. It'll do it too, but Sirius still doesn't like using Kreacher if he doesn't have to.

"Go in." Severus, who had been standing outside for a long time, cut off the conversation between the two impatiently, and walked into the tent first.Sirius didn't want to lag behind, and followed closely behind.

"Go in?" Harry winked at Neil and winked.He really didn't want to continue to face Professor Snape who kept making air-conditioning.

pity.

"Of course." Neil deliberately distorted the meaning of Harry's words, and replied solemnly.Looking at Harry's puffed cheeks, Neil instantly swept away the haze in his heart.Taking Harry's hand, Neil lifted the curtain of the tent.

Inside the tent was completely different from Neil's imagination.He originally thought that the tent should be empty in the future, with nothing but a small open space.Who knew, after entering the tent, he thought for a moment that he had come to another villa.

What Neil presented was a spacious living room.Behind the living room is a circular staircase paved with marble.Neil looked up.There are two rooms on the second and third floors. From below, you can directly see the railings surrounding the corridor and the upper part of the door.

Neil's eyes were full of admiration.Although this year, Neil believes that he has already learned enough about the wizarding world, the wonder of magic still surprises him from time to time.

"How about it, isn't it good?" Sirius stroked the railing beside the stairs, raised his head with a slightly smug expression. "Come on, let me show you the room."

"Which room does father live in?" Neil looked at Severus who was standing beside him with arms folded and said nothing, and took the initiative to ask for him.Severus and Sirius were either arguing or not talking when they were together. In short, wherever they appeared at the same time, the atmosphere was extremely awkward.As the son of the two, Neil had to take on the job of adjusting the atmosphere.

Sirius hesitated.

"I want to live on the same floor as Neil." Harry had already noticed the layout of the room.Looking at Sirius, Harry begged.It was painful enough for him to live under the same roof as Professor Snape, and he should never live on the same floor as him!Panicked, Harry completely forgot that he and Sirius could live on the first floor.

"Okay, then Harry and I will live on the second floor. You two will live on the third floor." Neil immediately made a decision.It doesn't matter who he is on the same floor with, but if possible, Neil still hopes that the two adults can have more opportunities to get along.It would be best if the two of them could get back together.

Sirius was dumbfounded for a moment, and Severus shot Harry with a frozen gaze.However, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and Neil directly pulled Harry upstairs.

Downstairs, Severus and Sirius looked at each other.

"Huh!" Two cold voices sounded at the same time, and the two turned their heads away at the same time.

Who wants to go to the next level with that stupid dog/that snot-nosed man!

……

At four o'clock the next morning, Severus got up as usual.After closing the bedroom door, Sirius was surprised to find that the door of Blake's room next door was also opened at the same time.

Raising an eyebrow, Severus stood still.He didn't expect that Blake, who had been in low energy since he was released from prison, would wake up so early.

Sirius naturally also caught sight of Severus standing in the corridor.Rubbing his eyes, Sirius' voice carried a hint of laziness that hadn't woken up yet. "Are you getting up to make breakfast for Neil too?" Sirius was in a daze as it was rare to wake up so early.Sirius, who was half-drowsy and half-awake, didn't have the energy to arm himself with pretentious power as usual.

Surprised by Black's meekness at the moment, Severus wasn't as aggressive as usual. "Yeah." Severus replied softly, and stepped down the stairs.

Behind him, Sirius yawned and staggered after Severus.

Walking to the first floor, Severus turned into the kitchen in the stairwell.Sirius followed closely behind.

Severus pursed his lips. "What about the material?" Severus said briefly.Looking around, Severus found that the kitchen was empty, with neither utensils nor ingredients.

"Ingredients?" Sirius felt his mind was muddled, and after hearing Severus' question, Sirius was stunned for a second before realizing what Severus was asking. "It's in my bag, wait a minute." With that said, Sirius was about to run out of the kitchen.

"Perhaps you haven't forgotten that there are still two cubs wandering in dreamland in this house at this time?" Sirius had just taken two steps when Severus' voice hissed behind him.Sirius scratched his head in embarrassment, and walked lightly.

After a few minutes, Sirius returned to the kitchen with a backpack.Opening the backpack, Sirius took out a series of ingredients, a set of kitchen utensils, two pots and some seasonings.

Looking at the sleepy Sirius in front of him, Severus had a complicated expression.He didn't expect that Black, who has always been careless, would arrange this trip so meticulously.He originally wanted to provoke him, but in fact he brought all the ingredients himself.Neil's stomach is not good, how can Severus rest assured to let other people prepare the ingredients.

Flipping through what Sirius had brought, Severus picked out bananas and sour dates. "Neil has a bad stomach, so he can't eat these two things." As he spoke, Severus took out a bowl with a cold expression, cracked a few eggs, and started beating quickly.

"Neil's stomach is bad? What's going on?" Sirius' drowsiness disappeared all at once.Clutching Severus' hand, Sirius asked nervously.

Taking a deep look at the bony arm, Severus smiled sarcastically. "Thanks to you, Neil was born with unstable meals and malnutrition. Naturally, his stomach cannot recover." Severus has always been resentful towards Black, if he hadn't accidentally lost Neil back then, Neil wouldn't have suffered so much these years.Because of this, even though he knew that Sirius was not the real traitor, and that he was forced to do so back then, Severus was still unable to forgive him, unable to get along with him peacefully.

Sirius looked full of grief and remorse.Although he had heard from Harry that Neil had lived a life of wandering since he was a child, Harry didn't know the specifics, nor did he know Neil's physical condition.For the first time, Sirius realized that his wrong decision back then had also caused indelible damage to his little Neil's physical condition.

"It's my fault..." Sirius choked out, gripping Severus tightly, Sirius looking tense. "Is Neil's stomach disease cured well? Your potion is so powerful, it must be cured, right?"

Taking a deep look at the haggard and panic-stricken Sirius, Severus fell silent.After a long time, Severus finally nodded slowly.

"Yes, I can heal."

☆, World Cup ([-])

Sirius felt relaxed after hearing Severus' answer. "That's good..." Sirius murmured, letting go of Severus' hand.At this time, Sirius realized that he was exhausted after being highly stressed.Unwilling to show weakness in front of Snape, Sirius straightened his body hard.

Unmoved, he twisted his aching arm from Sirius' strong grip, and Severus didn't make a sound.

"Well...can you tell me about Neil's childhood life? Why did he have three meals and malnutrition? Although Harry told me a little bit, he didn't know clearly...Harry said that when he was a child There was a grandpa Jeff who was responsible for raising Neil, but then that grandpa Jeff died... He said that Jeff was better off, but Harry didn't know about the rest... You must know, right? Tell Me, okay?" Under his confusion, Sirius was a little incoherent.

Severus looked deeply at Sirius, this was the first time that Black lost his previous arrogance and disdain when facing himself.At this moment, Black was standing in front of him with disheveled hair, begging all over his face.

Taking a closer look at Black, Severus, who had calmed down, really noticed for the first time how thin the man in front of him was.His face was no longer as plump and elastic as before, but shriveled and thin; his expression was no longer as bright as before, but deeply tired.After calming down, Severus admitted for the first time that Black was no longer the heroic and always domineering Black more than ten years ago.Just looking at Black's appearance, there is no trace of the past anymore.

And all of this is thanks to him.If he hadn't been forced to force him, he wouldn't have gotten pregnant unprepared; if his due date hadn't happened at that time, he wouldn't have proposed to change the secret keeper.What caused him to make mistakes, in the final analysis, was himself.Even though he often bullied himself when he was a child, he almost turned himself into a werewolf on the night of the full moon, but he also got his revenge... He was imprisoned for 12 years, no matter what kind of mistakes he made, That's enough to offset...

That's all, for the sake of being Neil's son, from now on, I will be more generous and not bother with him...

Sighing slightly, Severus told Sirius objectively what he knew about Neal's past in a peaceful tone for the first time.

"So it's like this... No wonder..." Sirius fell back a few steps unsteadily, with a bewildered and painful expression, "No wonder, when screaming at the shack, Neil said never, never Forgive me... I really don't deserve to be forgiven..." Leaning against the wall, Sirius slid slowly down and sat on the ground.Burying his face in his knees, Sirius' voice was humming, full of sadness and remorse. "I'm too arrogant... I thought I could do anything... I thought it would be fine for me to take care of Neil alone... If I hadn't insisted on using blood magic to test who Neil's other father was, Neil didn't need to wander outside for so many years... It was my arrogance that caused him..." Muttering, Sirius buried his face in his knees with tears streaming down his face.No wonder Neil was so angry and looked at him so hatefully that night at the Shrieking Shack.He never thought about it, and never realized that because of his carelessness, he actually brought such a great disaster and pain to his precious child.Not only did he cause problems with his magical circulatory system, and he passed an extremely depressing first grade, but he also caused him to be displaced in his childhood, running around all day long in order to make a living.This kind of life was beyond the imagination of Sirius, who grew up in a honeypot since he was a child.Sirius only felt a sharp pain in his heart - it was all his fault...

Severus stood opposite him like this, looking at Black sitting on the ground with an inscrutable expression, exuding an aura of pain all over his body. "If you still have a sense of responsibility, you should know that what you should do at this time is not to squat cowardly and mourn the age, but to cook a hearty breakfast for Neil. Don't forget, five o'clock, Neil I'll get up." After speaking, Severus ignored Black who was squatting on the ground, and turned to continue processing the ingredients.

for a long time.

"Thank you..." Black's voice whispered behind Severus. "Anyway, thank you for being willing to tell me about Neil's past. And—" Sirius paused, "Thank you for being willing to admit Neil for the first time and take care of him with your heart."

Severus' voice was dry. "Neil is also my son." The implication was that he did not intend to accept Sirius' thanks.

For the first time, Sirius didn't contradict Severus.Standing up, Sirius wiped his face casually with his hands and shook his feet. "Is there anything I can do to help?" Wiping away his tears, Sirius regained his vitality, but, from the looks of it, his eyes were still a little red and swollen.

Severus pointed to the dishes in the sink. "Washed and cut up." After finishing speaking, Severus continued with his movements.

Sirius straightened some wrinkled clothes, washed his hands, and started the busy breakfast.

Although Sirius was completely incapable of cooking, after all, he had taken potions classes for 7 years and was able to pass the knife skills.With a knife in his hand, Sirius chopped the two potatoes into mash as Severus asked.

Severus on the side watched Sirius keep rubbing his eyes, but trying to concentrate on assisting with cooking, his expression was unclear...

……

"Neil, it's breakfast!"

As soon as he walked down the stairs, Neil heard Sirius' energetic voice coming from the dining room.He raised his eyebrows in surprise.Sirius woke up so early?After a pause, Neil changed his route and followed the sound to the living room.

"Where's Harry?" Looking at the sumptuous breakfast on the table, Sirius and Severus sitting at the table, Neil hesitated.Wouldn't it be nice to come out for breakfast and not call Harry?

"It's okay, I reserved a special copy for him." Sirius stood up and walked behind Neil, pushing Neil forward. "He will eat when he gets up. He won't get up in at least three hours, so we won't wait for him." Pushing Neil to the chair, Sirius thoughtfully pulled the seat away.

Severus snorted coldly. "As expected of a lazy Gryffindor, the time to wake up is so different." Severus, who said so, completely forgot that before Neil arrived, he often stayed up all night and the next morning at ten o'clock I didn't get up until one or two o'clock.

Contrary to Neil's expectations, Sirius didn't push back.He just made a face at himself, then returned to his seat and sat down.

Neil sensitively noticed that there seemed to be some kind of change in the atmosphere between Severus and Sirius.Although the two of them still spoke very little, they did not have the feeling of incompatibility and electric light that they had before.

I knew it would be a surprise to let the two of them get along alone!Neil was very grateful at the moment for Harry's brilliant idea yesterday.

At this moment, footsteps were heard from the other side of the stairs.Neil turned around—Harry got up this early too?

It wasn't that Harry didn't know Neil's schedule. When he was at Aunt Petunia's house, although Harry didn't get up so early, he often got up at six or seven o'clock to prepare breakfast for the Dursleys.Before, at Black's house, Harry didn't want to force himself because he was living at ease.Now, living with Professor Snape, Harry got up at five o'clock spontaneously under the pressure.

Walking into the dining room, Harry was dismayed to realize that he was the last one up.Even Sirius, who was always sleepy, had woken up.

"Godfather, Neil." Harry swallowed. "Professor Snape." Looking at Professor Snape's dark face, Harry really felt a lot of pressure.Why is such a lovely Neil actually the son of the dark Professor Snape?Is this really unreasonable? !Could it be that Neil will grow up like Professor Snape in the future?Thinking of this, Harry couldn't help shaking.

"Harry, sit down." Sirius waved his wand, pulling away the seat beside Neil for Harry.Next to Neil, Harry sat down.

"Morning." Nodding slightly to Harry, Neil returned his gaze to the food in front of him.Today's meal was unexpectedly rich.There is oatmeal, toast with butter, and cheese mash.What surprised Neil the most was that there was a smoked fish for dinner.You know, Severus has always disapproved of eating big meat for breakfast.

Neil looked up and glanced at Severus in confusion.Severus nodded slightly, indicating that Neil could eat.After getting permission, Neil no longer hesitated, and happily picked up the fork.

Seeing Neil eating happily, Severus' brows and eyes softened.He knew that eating meat for breakfast wasn't very good for Neil's stomach.It's just that after thinking about it, Neil needed to avoid eating for a while, and this time, after all, he was out for fun again, so Severus' request was slightly relaxed.

"How about it, Neil, Harry? I made the mashed potatoes myself!" Sirius subconsciously ignored the potatoes, he was only in charge of cutting, and Severus was in charge of cooking.Severus on the side heard this and sneered,
