[Zhongyingmei] My dad is Voldy

The holidays always fly by so fast, it seems that just after Christmas dinner, the new semester begins.Even if Anita is a top student, she will inevitably feel tired of studying.But soon, heavy schoolwork, extra classes on potions and Occlumency, and designing flying castles with Draco left Anita with no time and energy to get tired of studying.Of course, Anita is also enjoying it.

Just when the new term was slowly passing halfway, Severus told Anita that he had tried the portkey and that it was indeed the way to Prince Manor, which made both Severus and Anita loose tone.Although there has been no clue of the person who gave the door key, but the fact that the door key is real at least shows that the person has no malice towards Anita.

"Want to see what Prince Manor looks like?" Severus asked.

"Can I go?" Anita asked in surprise, "Didn't it mean that first-year students cannot leave school?"

"As a dean, you still have this privilege." Severus rubbed Anita's head, "If you want to go, you can go this weekend."

"I want to go! What is the Prince Manor like?"

"I didn't go in." Severus lowered his eyes, blocking the complex emotions, "You will be able to see Prince Manor this weekend."

Anita and Severus held the portkey at the same time in his office on Sunday morning, and Anita felt as if a hook was jerked forward with irresistible momentum behind her navel, and she doubled her hands. Feet off the ground, fly up.It was a terrible feeling, and Anita found herself whirling and jolting as the wind howled, unable to see or hear anything.

A few seconds, or a few minutes later, Anita didn't know very well, because it felt like being thrown around in the air for a long time, before Anita felt a sudden stop, and then was thrown out, hard fell to the ground.

Anita raised her head and looked resentfully at Severus, who was standing still despite his disheveled hair.Seeing that Severus had no intention of pulling her up, he pouted and got up by himself.

"Dad went too far, he didn't even give me a hand." Anita murmured.

"You'll have to get used to this," Severus said, walking behind Anita and slipping the necklace around Anita's neck.

Anita looked back at Severus suspiciously.

Severus explained, "It was meant to be yours."

"But……"

Before Anita finished speaking, she was interrupted by Severus, "When you are in danger, use this Portkey to teleport back to Prince Manor, protect yourself, and don't worry me, okay?"

Anita subconsciously touched the necklace and nodded, then realized it was a portkey, and looked at Severus in horror.

But luckily nothing happened.

Severus explained, "Mentally say 'Potion' when using the Portkey."

Anita breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great, don't worry about me being teleported when I touch the pendant by accident."

"Can I make another portkey?" Anita asked.

"An application must be made to the Ministry of Magic before a Portkey can be made."

"I know, but it's not a violation if you don't get caught?" Anita winked at Severus.

"The door keys to the ancient magic manor are different from ordinary door keys." Severus explained, "This kind of door key is usually connected to the defense system in the manor, and cannot be created by a Mentos spell. of."

Just then, the iron door behind Anita and Severus swung open, revealing through the crack a wrinkled face, its bulging green eyes, which took up a third of the face, stared in disgust. It glanced at Severus, and when it turned its gaze to Anita, tears filled its eyes instantly.

"Oh, little... little master. Babo... Babo is finally waiting for you." A house-elf in dirty clothes, Babo, opened the gate and ran to Anita to wipe his tears excitedly. .

"You know me?" Anita asked. Since she was born in the Muggle world, the Prince's house-elf should not know her existence.

"Of course, the little master is the daughter of the little master, and Babo can tell at a glance." said Babo proudly, "The first lesson of a house-elf is to learn to recognize the master."

Anita felt a thought flash through her mind, but she didn't catch it.

"Well, well done," Anita complimented dryly.

"Oh, the little master praised Babo for doing a good job, Babo was so touched." Babo began to sob again.

Anita looked at Babo, who was crying so much, and felt uncomfortable disturbing him, but how long were they going to stand at the door?

Anita looked at Severus for help, seeing Severus frowning slightly, with a gloomy expression, Anita also frowned when she thought of Babo's expression on Severus, she was very concerned about the Prince family's pet. The image of the pixie wasn't that good for an instant.

Anita took Severus' hand, seeing that Babo hadn't stopped crying, so she interrupted, "Babo, can you take us in?"

"Bad Babo, bad Babo, Babo actually left the little master at the door, Babo must punish himself." Babo violently hit the iron door with his head.

"Don't do this." Anita stopped, seeing that Babo was still knocking on the door, she had to change her tone and said sternly, "I order you to stop punishing yourself."

Babo immediately stopped his behavior and turned to look at Anita, as if waiting for her next order.

"I forgive your previous behavior, now, take me into Prince Manor."

"Little Master is so merciful." Babo sobbed again, then stopped quickly, and said, "Little Master, come with me."

Anita noticed that Bobble had been ignoring Severus except for an initial look of disgust.Anita looked at Severus worriedly, but couldn't read any emotion on his face.Anita had no choice but to shake Severus' hand, but Severus seemed to be distracted and didn't notice.

House elves generally represent the attitude of the master. Although Severus said that his relationship with his mother was "not very good", Anita also thought that it was probably a relationship between ordinary friends or acquaintances.But according to the attitude of the house-elves, disgust?It's been a while.Besides, as a time traveler, her mother shouldn't hate Severus, right?Besides, if she hated Severus, why would Mom entrust her to Severus?

Anita originally thought that her biggest problem would be the relationship between her adoptive father and her real father, but now that she thinks about it, her real mother seems to have problems too?

Anita followed Babo into the Prince Manor with a full mind.

"Merlin." Seeing the garden in front of the Prince Manor, Anita couldn't help but exclaim.

To be honest, this garden is much smaller than Malfoy Manor, nor is it as magnificent as Malfoy Manor.However, all the plants in this garden are precious herbs.All kinds of herbs are harmoniously planted together according to their habits, forming a well-proportioned landscape. Although it lacks a bit of delicacy, it has a kind of grand beauty, and more importantly, it is practical!For a potionist, there is nothing more exciting than seeing this.

"Please go this way." Babo led Anita and Severus into a path in the garden. Anita noticed that Babo's small chest stood out high, which was obviously a sign of the Prince's family. The garden is very proud.

The house of the Prince family is a typical Gothic style, with tall and large stained glass inlaid windows, tall and steep towers, and complicated decorative carvings.Babo brought Anita and Severus to the front of the house, and said to Anita with some embarrassment, "Babo can only bring the little master here, Babo is not allowed to enter the house."

"Why?" Anita asked curiously.

"Because Babble hasn't passed the house-elf training yet," said a strange voice, and Babo bowed his head in shame and pulled his ear hard.

Anita followed the sound from the voice, and there were three house elves standing under the pointed arch. Unlike Babo, all three of them were neatly dressed, and the one at the head was wearing a black suit and tie. Seeing Anita looking over, he bowed deeply to Anita, with the tip of his nose almost touching the floor, and said, "Welcome home, little master. Mandela is always waiting for your orders. Please allow me to thank Babo Apologies for the faux pas, and he will get his due later. Babo, though not house-elf trained, is gifted with herbs, so he takes care of the herbs in the garden and conservatory. Absinthe and Aconitum is in charge of housework. I am the housekeeper, and you can come to me at any time if you have anything to do in the manor, and it is Mandela's honor to serve you."

"Hello, I'm Anita Prince. This is my father, Severus Snape. Let's take a tour of Prince Manor first." Anita said.

"Yes, little Master Anita." Mandela said respectfully, but he also ignored Severus.

Anita frowned deeply, and asked, "The previous head of the Prince family was my mother, Irene Prince, right?"

"Yes, little master Irene is the previous head of the Prince family."

"My mother, does she usually live here?"

"Since little master Irene graduated from Hogwarts, she seldom returned to Prince Manor. This is all due to Mandela's negligence. Mandela is not a good elf. Where the master likes it. Mandela must punish himself." After speaking, Mandela began to bang his head against the wall.

"I order you to stop your behavior." Anita thought that Mandela was a steady housekeeper, but she didn't expect that she was also keen to punish herself by banging her head. Maybe this is the nature of house elves?Anita had long since discovered that speaking normally to house-elves would be overwhelming, and that the best way to communicate with them was to speak in a commanding tone.

Sure enough, Mandela paused with gratitude on his face.

Anita felt helpless and sad.Although she had been in Malfoy Manor for nearly ten years, she still couldn't justly accept that one intelligent race enslaves another intelligent race as a slave.What's more sad is that the house elves don't feel that they are enslaved. They all regard it as the greatest honor to serve their master for life, and it is a shame to be expelled from the house by the master.

In a way, Anita is on Hermione's side.But at the same time, Anita also believes that to liberate a race, it must be based on the awakening of the race itself, and outsiders can only play an auxiliary role.If house-elves are ashamed of being cast out of their homes, freeing them will only end up killing them.

Perhaps, Anita is not as brave as Hermione.When the entire race thought her help was harming them, Anita couldn't be as selfless as Hermione insisted on helping them.
