When Severus came out of his mother's room, Anita said nothing but gave him a hug.There was still no expression on Severus' face, but the strength of holding Anita still revealed his restless emotions.

After this slightly prolonged hug, Anita and Severus returned to the Great Hall together.In the picture frame in the hall, the old Patriarch of the Prince family has finished making the potion and is sitting on a chair drinking tea. Seeing two strangers coming in, the old Patriarch was taken aback for a moment, then slowly put down the teacup, with a complicated look on his face. looked at the two of them.

Anita curtseyed to the portrait and introduced herself: "I am Anita Prince, daughter of Erin Prince, nice to meet you."

Severus bowed to the portrait and said, "Severus Snape, son of Irene Prince."

The old man ignored Severus, just looked at Anita with a broad smile, and said, "Welcome home, good boy. You said your last name was Prince? Did your father have any objections? No no no , I don’t want your surname to be Prince, of course I hope you can inherit the Prince family, but your father..." There are successors in the Prince family, and the old man was a little incoherent with excitement.

Anita took Severus' hand and said, "I don't think he has a problem, eh, Dad?"

Severus was originally in a very complicated mood, but seeing the angry Anita, he couldn't help but feel a lot easier.Severus rubbed Anita's head amusedly, and said, "Of course you're a Prince."

The old man's gray and messy long eyebrows frowned tightly, "No, you are the daughter of Irene and Tom, Mandela can't be mistaken. You are a pure blood, how could you be the daughter of that dirty and lowly mixed blood .”

Severus' face turned ugly instantly, Anita shook Severus' hand, and said to the portrait, "Even if you are an elder, please pay attention to your words. I am the daughter of a half-blood wizard, Both my real father and my adoptive father were mixed, and I've always been proud of my father."

"How is it possible! Your father has the most noble blood, he is the heir of Slytherin." The old man said incredulously, even Severus looked at Anita in shock, obviously he didn't know that the Dark Lord was a half blood .

"Believe it or not, he is half-blood. He is indeed the heir of Slytherin, but he is also half-blood. However, the only father I really recognize is Severus, whether you like it or not, it is up to you." It's impossible to change my mind."

The old man glared at Anita angrily, and Anita looked at him without showing any sign of weakness. After a while, the old man seemed to compromise, "I don't know what happened. After your mother passed away, Prince Manor took the initiative because there was no owner. It's closed. I haven't heard from the outside world for a long time. Even the news of your mother's death is because the owner's seal will automatically return to Prince Manor after the owner's death. I don't know why you haven't been The upbringing of your biological father. But since your surname is Prince, I will not pursue this. I don’t care who you recognize as your father, heh, I can’t control a portrait even if I want to. But I will never allow a half-breed to step On Prince's land."

"This is ridiculous! Dad is your grandson, and this is his home, so why can't he enter here. Besides, since you can accept my mum from the Muggle world, why can't you accept Dad?"

The old man seemed to have been stepped on sore feet, and said sharply, "This is different. Although your mother grew up in the Muggle world, there is no doubt that she is a pure blood, even if her parents are Squibs, they are also pure blood." .And your so-called father, his blood has long been stained by the blood of his dirty and low Muggle father!"

"You are unreasonable! I don't believe that every generation of Squibs who have been expelled from the family for so many years can find another Squib to marry. It is impossible for Mum to not have Muggle blood in her blood."

"At least your mother's ancestors had no choice but to degenerate, shamelessly elope with a lowly Muggle, and abandon the responsibility of the heir to the family!"

"Enough!" growled Severus, who hadn't spoken.

Anita and the old man in the portrait stopped arguing.

Severus closed his eyes to calm his inner emotions, ignored the old master's portrait, but said to Anita, "You can't convince a portrait, Anita. A portrait only retains part of the memory of the deceased, not Soul, his mind will never change. Besides, even if he stands here, he will not change his mind because of your few words."

"I know, it's just..."

Although it is only a portrait, it is also the only family member of her father in this world besides her. Anita hopes that her father can be recognized.Because Anita knew that her father actually attached great importance to the Prince family, otherwise, her father would not have adopted her in the first place.

"I know, thank you." Severus bent down and kissed Anita's forehead, "Don't worry about it. You are the heir of the Prince family, and the portrait can only provide suggestions at most, and cannot make decisions for the owner, so As long as you don't drive me away, he can't do anything."

"Yeah." Anita replied sullenly. She knew that her father's mood must not be as calm as he said, but what her father said was not wrong.You're only hurting Dad by continuing to argue with that stupid picture of obstinacy.

The old man in the frame blew his beard and stared at what Severus said, but at the same time he was powerless, he was really just a portrait.

Asking Mandela to hand over the seal of the head of the family to Anita, the old man in the portrait said to Anita wearily, "Put a drop of blood on the seal, and you are the head of the Prince family. You can do whatever you want .What can I do? I am just a portrait. However, I hope you will not fall into the prestige of the Prince family. The Prince is the most powerful potion family, it has always been, and it will continue to be."

Anita looked at the seal representing Patriarch Prince, which was made into a simple ring.There is a big "P" representing Prince on the seal, the background is a burning flame and a large cauldron, surrounded by a snake, and the ring of the ring is engraved with the four most basic herbs for potions.

"Father, you will be the head of the Prince family." Anita said suddenly.

"What?!" Severus and the old Patriarch yelled in shock at the same time.

"No, I don't agree, I absolutely don't agree." The old Patriarch jumped in anger in the frame, he wished he could get out of the frame and give this little girl a hard-headed lesson. How could Prince's Patriarch Can a mixed race do it?

"It's useless if you don't agree. You only have two choices. My father will be the head of the family, and I will inherit the Prince family after my father, or the Prince family will stop here. If my father is not the head of the family, I will not be either." Anita said confidently.

"Besides, do you really want the head of the Prince family to be an 11-year-old girl? You don't even know if I'm going to be a good potionist, or, maybe I'll be with a moron when I grow up." Did Melon elope? Or do you want to choose a potion master like Dad, the youngest Slytherin head ever?" Anita changed her tone and said persuasively, "My blood is actually far away from you. Now, and Dad is your grandson, isn't it obvious who to choose?"

The old patriarch looked at Anita and Severus with a complicated expression, and said in an unclear tone, "The Prince family has never had a mixed-race patriarch."

"That's it now." Anita simply stopped trying to convince the stubborn old man and handed the ring to Severus directly.

Severus didn't take the ring, but frowned, "Anita, stop messing around."

Severus had complicated feelings for the Prince family, but he never wanted to be the head of the Prince family.

"Dad, I'm really not mad at that stubborn old man."

"I'm not a Prince," Severus said, his face blank and his eyes blank.

"Dad is Prince, of course!" Anita looked seriously into Severus' eyes, trying to make him feel serious, "I really think Dad is the most suitable person to be the head of the Prince family. What's the last name, Dad has all the qualities of Prince. Even if he is mixed, Dad is one of the best Princes. Only Dad can make Prince the most powerful potion family, because Dad runs in his veins Far from dirty Muggle blood, Dad has potions running through his veins."

"Anita..." Severus looked at the persistent Anita, not knowing what to say.He used to be proud of his bloodline of Prince, and he also felt inferior because of his mixed blood identity. He once hated the old patriarch who expelled his mother from the Prince family, and he also wanted to get the Prince family. acknowledgment.But now, his little girl told him so seriously that he was a Prince because potions ran in his veins.

Severus wanted Anita to be Prince's head, but he couldn't refuse Anita because he knew Anita loved him and he loved Anita.

"If Dad is not the head of the family, I will not be. Is Dad willing to take those herbs and books?" Seeing that Severus did not agree, Anita simply took advantage of the little girl and said, "I am only 11 years old, and Dad has the heart to let me take on a The family? Before I grow up, Dad will be the head of the family first, okay?"

Severus smiled and sighed, before finally nodding.Anita cheered and placed the ring in Severus' hand.

The old head of the family in the picture frame threw cold water, "The seal of the head of the house will not recognize a mixed race."

Anita and Severus ignored him, and Severus cut his finger with the magic blade, dripped blood on the ring, and healed the wound with a counter-curse.The ring absorbed Severus' blood, and after emitting a soft green light, it became the right size for Severus, and it was worn on the ring finger of Severus' right hand.

The old Patriarch looked at the ring on Severus' hand representing the Patriarch of the Prince family, with a very strange expression, half sad or happy.His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he disappeared silently into the frame.
