Since Dobby returned to Malfoy Manor, there has been no news for a few days, but no news at this time is the best news. After all, Dumbledore also needs time to think of countermeasures.

Dumbledore actually called Severus and Mrs. Lockhart to a meeting, but for a while there was nothing good to do but to wait and see what happened, so he could only wait for the other side to make a move.

The bodies of Laya Nott and Bellatrix were found on the outskirts of Hogsmeade within a few days. The Daily Prophet spent an entire page analyzing their causes of death, and finally concluded that The conclusion of "Laya Knott left school without authorization and was discovered by Death Eaters and died with her".The wizarding world boiled for a while, and gradually calmed down.

The Nott family didn't come to the school to make trouble. After all, Laya Nott died outside the school. They only asked Dumbledore why she left the school during non-weekend hours. Dumbledore's answer was also watertight: " I don’t know why Miss Nott left school. I only know that the night before she left school, she disappeared when Head Slytherin called the students for a meeting. We searched the school but couldn’t find it. , I thought she was hiding in some secret room in the school, but I heard that someone saw her the next day... You asked how she got out? Well, there are so many secret passages in the school, maybe Did Miss Te discover a secret passage leading to Hogsmeade?"

The Knotts had little to say except to scold him for his dereliction of duty.

But Severus was in a pretty good mood these days, because Harry would blush when he saw him, and because of that casual kiss, there was actually a little more ambiguity between the two of them.

Xiaodong is more than 12 years old, almost 13 years old. Even if he has never experienced this kind of thing, he has seen it before. There are many student couples in the school. Let alone his roommate, an aborigine in the wizarding world Classmate Cad Lavard, as a small nobleman in the wizarding world, has a childhood sweetheart and a fiancée who has been engaged since childhood. The girl from the same school has a very good relationship with him. I don't know how many times I've seen it.

Poor little Harry kept telling himself "that was an accident and that was an accident", but he couldn't help getting entangled.After all, he had never experienced such a thing before, so he paid more and more attention, and unconsciously kept observing Severus secretly.In this case, his attitude was a bit unnatural when facing Severus. Once the two of them got a little closer, he was always a little flustered, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and he didn't dare to touch Severus. Looking directly at Severus again, only sneaking glances now and then.

Severus saw it, and kept his expression on the surface, but actually he was happy in his heart. Finally, Harry would no longer simply regard him as an elder.Seeing that the little thing is flustered every time he finds his gaze, for some reason, he suddenly wants to play tricks on him, so he starts to pretend to inadvertently increase the physical contact between the two, such as Help him wash his hair, give him a goodnight kiss before going to bed (although it is on the forehead, Harry blushes with shame every time), teach him how to make potions, and the little thing panics. I can't even speak well.

That night, when Severus was routinely researching potions, the little thing was called by him to do chores again.

"Today your task is to squeeze the sleepy beans." Severus handed him a small silver knife and pointed to a plate of sleepy beans on the small operating table.

Harry frowned, lowered his head and asked him, "But professor, I don't know how, I haven't learned this yet..."

"I'll teach you," Severus said softly, taking his hand that held the knife, and began to teach him, "You see, it's easier to squeeze the side of the knife against it."

The shriveled bean immediately oozes a lot of juice.

But Harry had no time to take care of it, his attention was all on the hands they held.Severus's hand was bigger than his, and it just wrapped his hand in the palm of his hand, and the dry and warm palm gently covered the back of his hand, causing his face to blush and the palm of his hand to bleed. sweat a lot. "What are you thinking about?" Severus's low and silky voice sounded in his ears, as if there was a hint of a smile, "Don't be distracted, try it yourself." Then he let go of his hand.

"Hmm, um." He quickly took another bean and squeezed it with the side of the silver knife, but the result was too much force, the bean was too round, and the knife slipped, almost cutting his hand.

"Why so careless?" Severus hurriedly picked up his hand to check, "It's not hurt, is it?"

"No, no!" The little thing shook his head violently and withdrew his hand, his face turned red.

Severus sighed, "What's wrong? Angry at me? Why do you seem to be avoiding me these days, huh?"

"No, I didn't avoid you!" Harry raised his head in panic, then lowered his head when he saw his eyes, and muttered, "I'm not so angry..."

Severus rubbed his head, and said in a low tone, "Forget it, just don't say it if you don't want to." Then he walked back to his operating table and started brewing the potion, but his ears were paying attention to his movements .

The little thing was really deceived, and ran to him anxiously, grabbed his sleeve and shook it, hesitantly called: "Professor..."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Severus looked down at him with a gentle expression on his face.

After hesitating for a while, Harry said timidly, "Well... I want to move back to the dormitory, is that okay?"

a bolt from the blue!If Severus was struck by lightning, did he go too far these days and scare him?

He managed to calm down, and asked calmly, "It's not peaceful outside, and those Death Eaters haven't all been arrested, why do you want to move back?"

"I, I'm too much trouble for you to live here...and now that Haierbo is protecting me, what danger can I have?" Harry lowered his head and said, "It's not good for me to live here all the time, it will affect you Work……"

Severus knew the reason was not that simple, but he was afraid that he had frightened him.He sighed helplessly and comforted him softly, "You have not affected me, you have helped me a lot here, and I am happy to take care of you, let's wait until it is completely safe? It is impossible for Hai Erbo to follow me all the time By your side."

Harry stared at the floor in silence and didn't speak for a long time.

Severus was really anxious, he lowered his head and cupped his face, looked straight into his eyes and asked seriously: "Harry, are you really that unwilling to stay with me? Am I treating you badly?"

"No!" Harry argued anxiously, "You are very good to me, but, but..."

"But what?" Severus asked.

Harry didn't speak, but tears began to roll in his eyes.

Severus was sore and hurt in his heart, he was neither willing to let him go nor to make him sad, so he sighed, put down his hand, and said with some frustration: "It's up to you, but it's too late now, Let the house-elf clean up tomorrow."

"Professor..." Harry subconsciously grabbed his sleeve and bit his lip, "I'm sorry..."

Severus said nothing more.

The two of them were silent for a long time that night, until before going to bed, Severus walked to the little bed, kissed the little thing's forehead tenderly, and told him softly: "Try not to walk outside alone when you get back, Let Hai Erbo follow you at any time. If anyone asks, tell me that I gave you a pet. Try not to leave the dormitory at night. I will prepare some nutritional medicine for you tomorrow. Remember to drink a bottle every day when you go back. Take good care of yourself and don’t let me Worry."

Harry lay on the bed and stared at him blankly.

"The weather is getting colder and colder in the future, so you need to wear more clothes." Severus fixed his eyes on his quilt and said slowly, "Remember to dry your hair before going to bed after washing... ..."

"Professor!" The little thing suddenly sat up, threw himself into his arms with tears in his eyes, and kept apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...I'm not leaving..."

"Heh..." Severus laughed lowly, hugged him well, pulled the quilt to wrap him up, and then patted him on the back, "Why didn't you leave again?"

"I, I don't want you to be so sad..." The little thing hugged his neck tightly, and pressed his small body into his arms, "I'm sorry, you are all for my own good, but I am so self-willed..."

Severus patted him on the back tenderly, coaxing him in a low voice, "Okay, you won't leave if you say no, stay as long as you like, don't cry."

Harry nodded, and said solemnly: "I won't think about it anymore, I will definitely listen to your words in the future, and don't be angry with me, okay?" At the end of the speech, there was a bit of a coquettish tone.

"When have I ever been mad at you?" Severus curled his lips in satisfaction.He knew that the little thing was soft-hearted, showing weakness once in a while would definitely be effective, wouldn't this keep him?

It can only be said that Harry is still too young to see that he is pretending at all.

"Okay, don't cry," Severus wiped his tears with his hand, coaxing softly, "Sleep with me tonight, okay?"

"Huh?" The little thing opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Severus tightened his arms and lowered his eyes, "I'm a little... reluctant to bear you...just now..." He deliberately stopped here and didn't continue.

Harry was stunned for a moment, his eyes misted again, looked at him with some emotion, and replied seriously: "Well, okay." He just made the professor feel sad.

Severus carried him to the big bed, held him in his arms, and kissed him goodnight: "Okay, go to sleep."

Harry hesitated, kissed him back on the cheek, said "good night, Professor", then blushed and lowered his head and closed his eyes tightly.
