It's raining outside.

Harry opened the curtains slightly, and he looked at the continuous rain outside the house, this day is not suitable for going out.Harry drew the curtains tightly, and he returned to the bed barefoot. Snape had already gone down. Last night's potion needed to stand overnight, and now was the time for the pot of potion to come out.

Harry sat cross-legged on the head of the bed, picking up the plate of breakfast and poking at the omelette in boredom.

Obviously they stayed in the same room, but he just missed his prince.They didn't have time to finish yesterday, only a kiss before bed was still on his cheek.

Dissatisfied, Harry picked up the fried egg that was poked with liquid, and took a bite bitterly.

He was bored looking at the homework Snape had given him on the bedside cabinet - about the wandless spell that he was now keen to learn.The old bastard always had a knack for reducing his interests to dullness.

Snape wasn't such a boring 16-year-old, he had new ideas in his head that never repeated, and he wanted to share them.Every moment they spend together is so pleasant, the only drawback is that the time is too fast.

If he can, he really wants to make up for the lost 20 years.

Harry blinked, and he fell back down to earth, continuing to work on his breakfast.

After breakfast, Harry picked up the glass of milk. He started to read the homework Snape assigned him, and the time moved forward bit by bit.Suddenly Harry felt a little thirsty, and he had already run out of milk.

He could only walk towards the door, ready to go downstairs.But when he turned the doorknob to go out, he found that the door wouldn't open.

No matter how hard Harry turned the doorknob, the door wouldn't open.

"Could it be—" Harry suddenly remembered what Snape said yesterday.

Could it be Bellatrix!What was she doing with Severus?

Harry was glued to the door, but unfortunately he couldn't hear the world outside the door at all, not even if there was a visitor in the house.

Wrapped in a cloak, Narcissa looked critically at the dirty and narrow Muggle streets around her. She closely followed the good sister who pushed her son to perform that impossible task. Draco's odds of success.

Narcissa just thought her sister was crazy.But what else could she do?Her husband was in Azkaban, and only her sister escaped.

She couldn't push her son into the fire pit anymore, her sister was a total lunatic.So she really needs another way.

"It's here." Bella sneered and looked at the gloomy house in the deepest part of the Muggle alley. The profound Muggle expulsion spell was like telling people around that the owner of this house was a man who didn't like Muggles very much. the wizard.

As the rain was getting heavier, Bella signaled Narcissa to knock on the door. Narcissa, who was asking for others, suppressed her disbelief, she knocked on the door calmly, and waited for a while for the door to be opened a small crack from the inside.

"It's me, long time no see, Severus." Narcissa pulled her hood back.

Snape looked at the two uninvited guests who came in the rain, he took a step back and opened the door, "It's really a rare visitor, this is the first time someone has come to visit me in a month and a half." Snape smirked and said Said in an unhappy tone.

He led Narcissa and Bellatrix to the reception room to the left of the entrance.

"Wait a moment, our dear Peter will bring drinks for you ladies." Snapela opened the chair and sat down.

Narcissa sat across from Snape stiffly and abiding by etiquette, while her sister stood there looking at Snape's collection of books. She knew that this behavior was not good, but she didn't say a word.She needed to figure out how she could speak to get Snape's promise, and besides, she didn't really want to put her son at risk.

Draco couldn't do that, the Dark Lord was sacrificing his family to the flames.She must think of other ways.

Suddenly the door was opened from the outside and Peter did bring drinks, he brought them grape juice.

"I'm not your servant!" Peter yelled after putting down his drink, like a protesting gutter rat, "The Dark Lord asked me to watch over you instead of taking care of your food— Stop trying to make me work!" he said, dropping the tray and storming back to his basement.

No one cared about his rage, and Bella even laughed, as if the mouse was entertaining her humorless life.

"It seems that your treatment is really good. The Duke even assigned you a servant." Bella picked up a glass of juice and handed it to her younger sister first. After watching her restless younger sister take a sip to calm down , she picked up another glass.

Snape took the last glass, and he glanced at Bella indifferently, only to see that she was slightly regretful, but still raised the glass of juice in her hand.

"Respect, our great monarch." Bella's face was full of reverence and fanaticism.

Snape also had to raise his glass, followed by Narcissa, who was a little slower. She looked really out of spirit, and her voice was a little low.

Then they each took a sip of their drink.

It's a good thing he didn't have any wine - he didn't want someone to go crazy with wine in his house.

"Then, why are you here? You don't want to come to me to catch up on the old days, right?" Snape shook the grape juice in the glass, and he glanced at Narcissa who was always in a state of nervous tension, from her There was a palpable unease in the body language, and a hint of mistrust and guilt running towards her sister - Snape assumed it was coming towards him.

In addition, their visit must have been driven by Bella, so it was obvious that there was a purpose, and Snape tended to think that this was a trap that Bella came to him-this woman had a strong sense of revenge.

And he was waiting for Bellatrix to dig a hole for him, so that another Horcrux that Bella kept would soon fall into his hands.Barely a good deal—he wouldn't necessarily do what they wanted him to do, after all.

"As servants of the great Dark Lord, each of us must do our part for the master's top priority." Bella walked up to Snape with her wine glass, her head raised as if she had become The spokesperson of her beloved master, "Now is the time to show your loyalty. You, who claim to be the master's right-hand man, probably don't know that the master bestows this honor..."

"I probably know what you're talking about." Snape interrupted Bella's proud words, making Bella's complexion instantly ugly.

"You know?" Bella panicked, staring at Snape with hatred and resentment.

"Ah, I know you have been away from the center for too long. After all, you escaped from the airtight place of Azkaban recently, so naturally you don't know. Although the master has been troubled by this for a long time, the one you recommended Is the person really suitable?" Snape smirked, and then he shifted his gaze to Narcissa, "It's Draco Malfoy, right? That boy who was so beloved by his parents that he couldn't even hold his wand steadily— —" His words made Narcissa shake her shoulders, and she took another sip of her drink to make herself less frightened, but her trembling hands still revealed her extremely uneasy mood.

"You actually recommended him to go, and you are not afraid that he will mess up the mission of the master." Snape snorted coldly, "Anyway, there is already an example of you, maybe it seems to you that the sea is on the master's side Opportunity, and then pull someone to give you a back, and work hard for you, and the completion of the task is of course everyone's good, the master will definitely reward you for the proposal, but in case there is a mistake, you have also found the scapegoat —what a clever plan!"

"Snape!" Bella yelled, distracted, as she drew her wand.

"You must have forgotten that the place under your feet is my home." Snape didn't care about Bella's anger at all, "Also, let me tell you another piece of happy news - our great monarch has long expected your You ordered me to watch you because you didn’t accomplish enough and more than failed.” He smirked like a successful villain, admiring Bella’s face that was as red as dried blood.

"So you really know." Narcissa stood up, she put down the glass in her hand, she walked up to her sister, "I appreciate you wanting to find a helper for Xiaolong for his mission, he really Not mature, but Severus might not be the..." right guy.

"No, Mrs. Malfoy, I sympathize with what you have done for your sister. Unfortunately, your sister is not even willing to give your husband a hand, leaving him alone in Azkaban." Snape shook his head sadly.

"This makes me wonder whether the treasure that the Dark Lord entrusted to the Lestrange family to keep is still intact where it should be." Snape said maliciously, "It's still kept like the Malfoy family." The one that was dealt with as evidence against the family when the master was away?"

"No, I will take good care of everything my master gave me!" Bella yelled.

"When you were in Azkaban? Maybe some house-elf lost it." Snape laughed. "After all these years, anything can happen."

"Impossible! I put it in the family vault!" Bella was so angry that she almost rushed to beat the villain, but her sister stopped her.

"Calm down, Bella." Narcissa patted her sister on the back reassuringly, she held up the drink and made her take a sip, "I think that's what the master meant, that's why he asked Mr. Snape to come Convey his thoughts. This shows that there is still room for redemption, otherwise the master will not let Severus tell you directly, but let him secretly report your every move." She said calmly, and used A hopeful look at Bella.

"Why are you looking at me like that! Which side are you on?" Bella glared at her good sister.

"I'm on the master's side. The master has assigned Draco such an important task. I can't disappoint him." Narcissa said, grabbing Bella's hand, "You can't disappoint the master either—so Bella, take us to your vault and see if the master's treasures are still there - I think this is what the master wants, you have to let Severus see that you have kept his belongings intact , otherwise you will lose the trust of the master." She looked at her sister firmly.

"Sissy!" Bella called out her sister's nickname unwillingly, "You know I can't go out, Aurors are looking for me."

"So I'll go," Narcissa said, "or do you not even trust me?"

"I see." Bella compromised, and she glared at Snape, who had watched enough of the show.

Snape glanced at Narcissa, and now Mrs. Malfoy was not trembling anymore, she straightened up and looked indestructible - for the child, no matter how weak a woman is, she will become a strong shield.Lucius Malfoy has always had a unique vision, he can always find the best at a glance, and his wife is the best decision he has made in his life.

"It seems that you have already discussed it." Snape stood up and raised the drink in his hand again, "To our great master." He drank the drink in his glass, and Narcissa followed suit Drained the grape juice in the glass.

Bella was motionless, staring at Snape viciously.But she can't do anything, the master doesn't trust him, he only wants to trust the villain who is full of lies.

"Then let's go," said Bella. "You must not leave me behind. I must be present to open the Lestrange vault."

"If Aurors were after you, we wouldn't go to Azkaban for you." Snape sneered.

"I know." Bella said with the strength to crush her teeth.

So they walked out the door together.

That's when Harry realized he could open the door, and carefully turned the handle.

"Severus." Harry stomped down the stairs, searched around and found that Snape was not there.

But this old bastard left him a message, he was going out, and he better not leave the house.Harry read it over and over again, poured himself a glass of water and went back to the bedroom, ready to continue the homework Snape had assigned him.

He really wanted to help his prince sooner.

The author has something to say:

In the past week, I have been in a deadly cycle, and I haven't been more excited for a long time

Snape held up the golden cup: My dear, I got you another Horcrux.

Harry stared at Snape resentfully: That's why you gnawed on me again?
