Chapter 644

Holiday life, everyone has everyone's way of life. Whether it is fast-paced excitement or slow-paced comfort, as long as you are satisfied, it is a valuable and beautiful holiday.

Of course, this is based on the premise that life is full of surplus.

"Bang Bang... Bang Bang..."

In the depths of the old brick houses like a maze, knocking on the door echoed in the narrow alleys, breaking the depressing silence.

After several consecutive days of rainfall, the temperature that should have entered the summer has dropped to a cold state again. In addition, this almost abandoned residential area is sparsely populated, and people even want to add a coat.

In the distance, a tall chimney straight into the sky appears quite abrupt in the generally low brick rooms. The sewage in the distant river experienced a few days of showers, and the smelly sludge churned up, passing a disgusting smell straight here along the night wind.

"Bang Bang... Bang Bang..."

The knock on the door continued. It seemed that there was a sense of never giving up until you knocked on the door. In such a dirty place, I don't know how an unexpected guest suddenly came.

This is spider tail lane, an old place with both dark and stale.

I don't know how long it took, a dull male voice finally sounded from the door, suddenly interrupting the seemingly endless knocking at the door.

"Narcissa, go back! I don't welcome guests here anymore."

The voice was cold and cold, and there was no polite element in it, which directly showed his refusal. The door didn't open, not even a crack.

"Severus -" the man outside the door holding the wooden door couldn't say, "Severus, open the door... Draco needs your help..."

Although she was wearing a beautiful cloak with a hood, she hid her whole face in the shadow. But the name she called when she was called in the door suddenly revealed her identity - this is Narcissa Malfoy, Draco's mother, who had just been found some time ago.

Narcissa's insidious words seemed to silence Snape behind the door. But a few seconds passed, but the wooden door still didn't open.

"What happened to him?" snape asked in a deep voice across the door.

"Oh... He, he has been having nightmares for a long time. My worry is... You know... What terrible things that man left him..."

It could be heard that Narcissa's voice was trembling, which was her performance of gradually sinking into despair. Her son suffered unknown suffering all night in her sleep, which broke her mother's heart and wished to replace the person who suffered with herself.

"Then you should go to a therapist," snape said immediately after a brief meal. "Don't say I'm a defense professor now. Even before, my job was to teach a group of little children in Hogwarts, not to treat patients in St. mungo."

"No, Severus, I know what you can do..." Narcissa tried to persuade her, but in the twinkling of an eye, a sense of sadness surged into her heart, and she couldn't help crying. "Severus, you have to help Draco... Remember? Lucius gave you a lot when you were at Hogwarts..."

"Stop talking!" as soon as he heard this, Snape's voice suddenly increased a lot. "Narcissa, you should know that I have brought too many conveniences to Lucius in recent years. When Voldemort was rampant, I was... Narcissa, I don't want to make it so clear. You know those things..."

Although he didn't finish his words, the meaning could not be clearer.

Yes, when he was a student in Hogwarts, Lucius, as a senior student, brought a reliance to his poor mixed race, which made him very moist in the lower grade. But all this also foreshadowed his miserable life after Lucius graduated.

Seriously, up to now, every fragment of those days is what he tried to abandon. Had it not been for Lily's existence in his memory, he would have stripped those memories completely from his head and put them into a small test tube for permanent storage.

"Oh..." Narcissa felt as if her heart was about to break. "Severus, save my poor child... Please save him..."

In Narcissa, the pain for her son and the grievance against her family's depression surged into her heart at the same time, and the tears in her red eyes immediately flowed down.

"Bang, bang -"

She lay on the mottled wooden door, beat her fist twice, and then slipped down the door as if she had lost her strength.

On the other side of the door, Snape stood expressionless, a pair of indifferent pupils flickering with complex light.

He is a persistent and selfish man.

In the past, for an invisible love, he could seize all the chips that slipped in front of him, and the Malfoy family was naturally one of them; Now, when Maka has erased his meaningless pursuit of love, his sister TIA has become everything in his life.

He felt that his life was actually very good now - in Hogwarts, he could be a professor of defense against the dark arts, which he had never forgotten since he was a student; In this home, you can enjoy the warmth of your loved ones you haven't felt since childhood.

In this case, a friendship with the lonely Malfoy family is obviously not what he needs.

What's more, although Lucius was brought out of Azkaban by Marca, many people know that the relationship between him and Voldemort cannot be written off. At present and even in the future, there will not be many people willing to have a relationship with the Malfoy family.

With Severus Snape's shrewdness, naturally he would not do that thankless thing.

"You... Who are you?"

In the moment when Snape tried to make Narcissa retreat by herself with silence instead of answer, a light female voice suddenly sounded behind Narcissa. There was a little surprise in the voice, but more confusion and uneasiness.

When Narcissa suddenly turned back and looked at the young woman not far behind her, with a soft sound of "squeak", the wooden door that seemed impossible to open in her life was opened.

"Please make way..."

Snape seemed quite polite in his words, but with some impatience in his actions, he gently pushed Narcissa back half a step, and he himself walked sideways.

"TIA," snape grabbed his still confused sister and dragged her quickly to the door, "I've had enough shopping today, haven't I? It's time to go home..."

"Wait, wait --" "boom."

Almost when Narcissa reached out to pull the wooden door, her hand was caught by the quickly closed door. To be honest, Snape closed the door with great strength. Narcissa squatted down with her right hand over her finger.

The door, in the end, was not closed, although the price paid to prevent it from closing seems too high.

"Severus..." Narcissa clenched her teeth and didn't let herself cry out. "Please, please help Draco have a look... I can't watch my child suffer so much..."

Snape turned back, slightly lowered his head and frowned tightly. After only a few seconds' pause, his hand reached the door handle again. It was obvious that he wanted to close the door again.

But this time, his hand was only half stretched out, and he was pulled by his arm.

"... she... What's the matter with her child?" it was TIA who spoke. Although her expression was still timid, her life in spider tail lane at least allowed her to say a few complete words to strangers. "Severus, can you help her? We should help people, not turn away the trouble."

Her words really came from her heart and were transformed from her own personal experience. If she had not been taken to the old black house and helped by many people, mainly Mrs. Weasley, she would never have lived such a safe life now - she was always confused and timid, and even found Snape, the only family member in the world.

This made her understand that sending warmth to those in need is also the meaning of life.

"Tut..." snape smacked his tongue and said impatiently, "where did you hear this meaningless truth?"

"Yes, Mrs. Weasley, they let me understand..." TIA still seemed a little difficult to deal with Snape's habitual coldness and impatience, but she still said, "you know, they have helped me a lot... And... Well, and Mr. McClane, he is always helpful."

"Hum," snape snorted and automatically ignored the last name, "Weasley? I should have guessed that only their family would meet. Everyone is as enthusiastic as a fool..."

Of course, he obviously ignored another point in passing - the Weasleys never looked good when they saw him, and naturally when they saw Narcissa and Lucius.

But after these contemptuous words, Snape did not reach out to close the door, but suddenly turned around and went into the house.

"Narcissa, come in and say --" he said coldly, "take the door by the way."

Narcissa didn't know who the young woman who was helping to speak was, but when she saw that TIA could speak next to stubborn Snape, she immediately took off her hood, wiped the tears on her face, and nodded gently to thank TIA.

Soon, with another squeak, the wooden door finally closed again.
