"Yolanda, I heard Sirius say that you designed a dress for his cousin Narcissa•Blake, and it was so beautiful that it seemed that even Bellatrix and Andromeda were full of praise."

"Yes, he's Regulus's cousin, and since she's asked me, I'll have to do my best. For Regulus's sake. Didn't I design several clothes for you before? I've never seen you so excited. ”

"That was three years ago, and it's been a long time since you've designed clothes for me."

Lily resented.

"You have a good calculation, is it possible that I will make you clothes for the rest of your life?"

Lily blushed.

"But don't worry, how could I be missing your share? It's almost Christmas, and I've designed a few clothes for you, so you'll know when the time comes. ”

Yulanda pretended to blink mysteriously.

Urlanda left before Christmas, saying that it was an important holiday and that she had to go to accompany Mrs. Stewart.

Lily also went home, and Regulus had to go back to the Malfoy family dinner, leaving Severus alone at the school.

Originally, Severus also wanted to go back to see his mother, but when he thought of the drunken man at home and the endless quarrels and abuses all day long, Severus decided not to go back.

Although it was lonely to stay alone in school, it was not too difficult for Potter and Sirius Black to go back.

Severus comforted himself sullenly.

Severus woke up early on Christmas morning, and although he thought he might not receive any presents, he decided to go under the tree and have a look.

To his surprise, there was a small pile of packages under the Christmas tree.

All of Slajerin's students had gone home, and he was the only one left in the entire house, so it couldn't have been anyone else's.

Severus was full of excitement and rushed over to open the present.

What Lily gave herself was a black scarf that she had woven herself; Regulus' gift was a one-of-a-kind copy of Mystic Potions from the Black family's collection; ("Wow!") Regulus, you know me so well! ”

When Ulanda's package was unpacked, there were two sets of clothes designed and cut by her, a silver-gray robe that could be worn in the wizarding world and a tracksuit that could be worn in the Muggle world.

To Severus's surprise, he received a Christmas present from his mother.

"Seaver, I have received your letter, and I understand why you are reluctant to return. Maybe I'm not a good mother, but I sincerely want you to be happy, even if I have to bear the thought of not seeing you. This is your first year at Hogwarts, and your mother has given you a Princes Potions notebook, which contains a lot of Prince's original potions and recipes. I'm sure you've discovered your amazing talent for potions as well. Mom's Prince family is a Potions family, and the head of the family has been a Potions master for generations. You have my blood in you, and potions in your blood. May your school life be well. Love your mom Irene."

Severus had mixed feelings, and when she was at home, her mother seemed to be exhausted from her usual life, and she no longer had the energy to care for Severus's needs.

Severus understood that life had exhausted the originally intelligent and beautiful woman, not that she didn't want to be a good mother, but that she really had nothing more to give.

How nice it would have been without that drunkard, Severus fantasized all the time.
