The Years Welding at Hogwarts

Southwest England, Wiltshire.

This is a dignified lord’s mansion located in the countryside. The diamond-shaped glass in the ground floor windows reflects brilliant colorful light under the warm winter sun.

Three figures appeared on this country road that only led to one location, the lord’s mansion at the end.

It is not so much a country road as it is a line composed of thorn bushes and hedges, the dividing line between the magical world and the non-magical world.

The low thorn bushes on the left are growing haphazardly, looking like barbaric growth without anyone taking care of them.

On the right is a neatly trimmed tall hedge. The mansion where the Malfoy family has lived for generations is hidden behind this hedge wall.

There seems to be some magic power in this dividing line in the middle. No matter how wildly the plants on both sides grow, they will not invade the other side’s territory.

Before they had gone far, two extraordinary wrought iron doors blocked the way for the three of them.

Snape reached out and touched the door in front of him.

The wrought iron on the gate began to twist and deform, and finally the abstract curling pattern twisted into a terrifying face, saying in an echoing metallic voice:”Say the purpose of your visit.”

“My name is Severus Snape, and I’m looking for Lucius Malfoy.”

But the door did not open immediately. The twisted and terrifying face stared directly at the two people standing behind Snape.

“They are with me.”

Hearing Snape’s words, the face on the wrought iron gate hesitated for half a second, and then returned to its original scroll pattern, and the heavy iron gate also rotated backwards and opened. The yew hedge made the three people’s footsteps sound It sounded a little dull.

A strange rustling sound suddenly came from the right of the three of them. Noah raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and found a beautiful white peacock walking gracefully on the top of the hedge. With

“Lao Si, look, this peacock is so beautiful! Not as good as us……”

“Peacock meat is not delicious.”

Noah:”……”

Snape’s words succeeded in dispelling his thoughts.

After being stunned for a moment, Noah realized something was wrong. Did Snape know too much?

“No, Lao Si, why do you understand so well?”

For this kind of question, Snape said that he refused to answer.

After a moment, the three of them stopped in front of the stone steps of a very respectable mansion.

Lucius Malfoy, the patriarch of the Malfoy family, Apparently he had already heard the news of Snape’s arrival through the magic on his wrought iron gate.

At this moment, he was standing in front of the main entrance of the mansion, welcoming Snape, the distinguished guest.

“Long time no see, Severus. Lucius smiled,”What kind of wind brought you here?””

A figure with the same platinum-blonde hair as him poked out from behind him.

When he saw Noah, Draco shouted in surprise,”Noah?”

Seeing his silly son’s startled look, Lucius couldn’t help but yelled,”Draco!”

Obviously, Draco, who usually acts like Noah is the boss and his second child in Hogwarts, besides Noah, there are other people who can make him afraid. That is, his father.

After being scolded Draco didn’t dare to yell anymore. He retracted his head and bowed politely to Snape,”Professor.”

Facing the greetings between Lucius and his son, Snape just nodded lightly.

Lucius obviously knew the character of Snape, his old friend, because this old bat was still so cold and repulsive. No.

He didn’t feel offended. He glanced at Noah who was following Snape with an inquiring look. Lucius smiled and said,”Is this the adopted son you adopted?””

He subconsciously wanted to engage in a business exchange with Snape, saying something like this guy with such talent will definitely be the best among men in the future.

But Snape shook his head, and the denial revealed The meaning made Lucius a little confused.

Although he still didn’t know what the situation was on Snape’s side, the door was obviously not a suitable place for chatting. He stretched out his hand to guide the direction of the room.

“Come in, I’ve prepared tea.”

Lucius walked in front and led the guests through the spacious entrance hall, with portraits of the Malfoy family’s ancestors hung on both sides of the wall, and arrived at the equally spacious but more magnificent living room.

A domesticated baby hidden in the dark. The elf quietly served several people steaming tea the moment they sat down. A roaring fire burned in the marble fireplace on the wall next to it, dispelling the chill in the dark manor.

……

“Lucius, I come to you this time not as a friend.”

Snape leaned on the chair, his black eyes staring closely at Lucius, keenly capturing the subtle expressions on his face.

Then, he spoke slowly, vaguely expressing his intention.

“But as a former colleague of yours.”

When Snape mentioned the identity of”former colleague”, Lucius understood what this meant. All his reactions were completely expected by Snape. The slightly narrowed pupils reflected the His shock and the twinkling eyes when facing Snape can also reflect the tension and fear in his heart at the moment.

“Draco, please go back to your room first.”

I originally thought that Snape bringing his adopted son to the door was just an ordinary family visit. After all, Lucius often read Noah’s name in Draco’s letters home.

But now it seems……

Lucius’s eyes fell on Noah beside him, and then he signaled Snape with his eyes, should you also let your adopted son leave the table?

After all, the topic the two of them are going to talk about next is not suitable for children..

But Snape didn’t say anything. On the contrary, Noah seemed to be taking the lead. He raised his hand and put it on Draco’s shoulder next to him, signaling him not to leave in a hurry.

“Mr. Malfoy, I think it’s better not to hide some things from Draco.”

Noah smiled slightly and said,”After all, Draco is not an ignorant child, what do you think?”

Lucius, who claimed to be of the upper class, naturally wouldn’t care about a child. He set his sights on Snape,”Sev.……”

“You are wrong, Lucius. Noah is not my adopted son.”

“Isn’t he your adopted son?”

The expressions of Malfoy and his son were synchronized, showing a mixture of shock, surprise and confusion. However, the old Malfoy’s face was mostly surprised, while Draco’s was mostly shocked.

“So what is his relationship with you?”

Snape did not directly answer the question raised by Lucius, but stood up and looked down at the former Death Eater in front of him in an extremely oppressive manner.

“Lucius, answer me, are you still loyal to the Dark Lord?”
