Chapter 063 January 9

Snape was stunned for a moment, then took out a bottle of potion from the medicine box that Dobby had just brought and poured it directly on Lucius's wound.

"Phew!" Lucius clutched the armrest of his chair and cried out in pain, "Can't you lighten it?" ”

"Your wounds are starting to heal, how can you disinfect them thoroughly without tearing them open?" Snape sneered.

"Must?" Lucius frowned.

"What do you say?" Snape raised his wand.

"Come on!" Lucius leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

Snape pressed the tip of his staff against the wound, and green blood spurted out, and Lucius closed his eyes with a peaceful expression, as if asleep, and only the occasional frowning movement made people realize that he was still in pain.

"You have to be glad that it was only the children who attacked you." When the blood finally returned to bright red, Snape said sternly, but the movement of his hand did not stop, and soon the wound began to scar under the effect of magic.

Lucius looked at the centipede-like scar and asked, "Can you not make it so ugly!" ”

"Don't let the wound touch anything for three days." Snape warned as he packed up his medicine box, "Or you will bear the consequences!" ”

"I understand!" Lucius obediently asked Narcissa to bandage.

"How's it going?" Snape finally asked.

"Only the girl ran away!" Lucius said proudly, "But everything is back!" ”

"Looks like you've got a good harvest!" Snape raised an eyebrow.

"Just one copy!" Lucius's tone was modest, but his face was full of pride, "After all, there are too many people involved this time. ”

Snape didn't ask, Lucius didn't say, but for the next three days, the Malfoys were all socializing and barely returned home, Draco was very curious about this, but Catherine didn't show any interest, and continued to study the unfinished book "Real World History".

By the afternoon of January 8, Draco had finally been able to suppress his curiosity.

Catherine was lamenting that Christmas was actually the anniversary of the young Merlin and Jesus, led by the Egyptian gods, to become an alliance against the Roman gods, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of him sneaking into the room and leaning over to her, smiling very ambiguously.

"Catherine, aren't you curious?" Draco winked at her.

"Curious about what?" Catherine's eyes were still on the book in her hand.

"Of course it's my father, what the hell is he doing?" Draco lowered his voice.

"It's all in the newspapers!" Catherine still didn't look at him.

"The newspaper of that day?" Draco asked.

"1/01/92." As soon as Catherine finished speaking, Draco immediately ran to find the newspaper for that day.

However, Draco had scoured all the newspapers and magazines for January 1st, even the Muggle world, and found nothing to do with his father, so he ran to ask Catherine, but the red-haired girl only pointed to the front page of the Daily Prophet that day.

"Arrest of the Remnants of the Death Eaters - At 1 a.m. today, the remnants of the Death Eaters, led by Lordaeron Stoko, Salinger Hewlett, and Wesoland Rust, attacked the Bakers, Fields, and McAdams, and the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic arrived at the scene in time to wipe out the remnants of the Death Eaters who were killing the three family members, see the second edition for details." Draco finished reading the introduction of the headline on the front page, then looked at Catherine, "Does this have anything to do with my father?" ”

"Think about it yourself." Catherine finally looked at him and gave him an encouraging look.

This caused Draco to glare at her angrily, but Catherine was unmoved, she turned back and continued to read, obviously not ready to solve his doubts, and finally he put away the newspaper in discouragement, deciding to study it later.

"Do you know what tomorrow will be?" Draco suddenly reached out to block the book in Catherine's hand and looked at her with a smile.

"Of course!" Catherine raised an eyebrow and glared at him.

"And what do you have in store?" Draco's tone was curious.

"You won't know tomorrow!" With that, he took his hand and continued to study the process of Merlin's cooperation with Jesus.

Draco grinded his teeth angrily, he really wanted to pry Catherine's mouth open and make her clear, but considering the strength of both sides, he could only stomp his foot and obediently give up the tempting idea.

The next day, the Malfoys did not go out, Lucius pulled Snape to chat early in the morning, which made Snape very impatient, and Narcissa was directing the house-elves around, and she did not know what she was up to, but when Catherine came to the kitchen and offered to help prepare lunch, she laughed wickedly.

At noon, the Malfoy family's dining room was decorated with golden bubbles, sparkling icicles, colorful flower ribbons, and hundreds of candles...... There was even a brightly colored banner that read "Happy-Birthday!"

It's just that the protagonist of the birthday party has a cold face, as if he is being collected for a debt, and if it weren't for Lucius dragging him all the time, happily discussing the recent harvest with him, Catherine was very suspicious that he would have just run away, and by the time she brought in a small cake, his face was completely black.

"I don't eat dessert!" Snape glared at the girl through gritted teeth.

"That's why I didn't put sugar!" Catherine replied with confidence.

Snape's face was full of disbelief, and Lucius was full of disbelief, and when Narcissa nodded solemnly, they both couldn't help but look at the cake in surprise.

The two ladies who had tasted it were silent, but pulled Draco to put the candles together, and when all 32 candles were lit, the birthday party officially began.

“Happy－Birthday－to－you! Happy－Birthday－to－you!－－－－”

The crisp children's voices, the flickering candlelight, and the familiar face reminded Snape of more than a decade ago today, when there was also a red-haired girl celebrating her birthday like this.

“－－－－Happy－Birthday－to－Sev! Happy－Birthday－to－you!”

Afterwards, she would cheerfully shout, "Seapher, make a wish!" ”

Thinking of this, Snape couldn't help but clasp his hands, close his eyes and silently make a wish.

The other four couldn't help but look at each other, but then they all looked at Snape in silence until he opened his eyes again.

"You just made a wish?" Lucius asked cautiously.

"What!" Snape's eyes, which were still a little confused, immediately regained sharpness.

“Nothing!” Lucius smiled and raised his hand to signal, "It's time to blow out the candles!" ”

Snape stared at the 32 candles for a moment, then suddenly snorted, and a light breeze blew in the cafeteria, and all the candles were extinguished.

"Is that okay?" Catherine opened her mouth and exclaimed silently, and the three Malfoys were full of black lines.

"Now we have to cut the cake." Lucius shoved the knife into Snape's hand, clearly not intending to let him go.

Snape only raised an eyebrow this time, and with a flick of his right hand, the knife flew automatically over the cake, dividing it evenly and serving it to everyone's plate.

Looking at the cake in front of her, which was still with candles, Catherine had a deeper understanding of Snape's "elegance".

After automatically removing the candle, everyone picked up the utensils and prepared to eat, only to find Snape staring at the cake in front of them with a cold face, so they all stopped and stared at Snape until he finally tried it.

"How?" Lucius immediately asked.

"Not bad!" Snape said calmly and began to eat his cake.

The Malfoys were surprised, ate a little, and found that Snape was right, Catherine had completely retained the deliciousness of the cake, but without a hint of sweetness.

Catherine's skills were recognized by everyone, which made the birthday party go smoothly, but as soon as the meal was over, Snape said that he wanted to return to Hogwarts, because Lucius's injuries had recovered and the Malfoys had no excuse for him, so Catherine left.

"Professor!" As soon as she returned to Snape's office, Catherine asked, "Can you tell me about Mr. Malfoy?" ”

"Why?" Snape said unpleasantly.

"He's your best friend, Draco's father, and the one I can't avoid in the future." Catherine's attitude was calm.

"Lucius is a natural nobleman!" Snape pursed his lips and glared at Catherine for a moment before he said, "The popularity of the Malfoy family, and his father's relationship with the Dark Lord as the guide to join the hunt, gave him a very high status when he first entered Slytherin House. Even if he was the only one in the Slytherin Upper Division who didn't join the Death Eaters, no Slytherin student would dare to go against his will. ”

Many people thought it would last until he graduated, but when he was in his sixth year, he suddenly joined the Death Eaters and became the Dark Lord's number one henchman. It was not until the news of his father's death broke that it dawned on them that Lucius would be the Dark Lord's loyal thug, but they were wrong. ”

"In fact, after the Dark Lord became the president, his behavior began to become rampant, which made many members of the Hunting Society of the older generation unaccustomed to it, and some people secretly linked these people together, and when the Dark Lord found out, the Hunting Society had already divided into two factions, and Lucius made himself the only one who was recognized by both sides."

"Could it be that he is a tandem man?" Catherine asked.

"No," said Snape, "the split in the Hunt Society arose before he joined the Hunting Society. ”

"Could it be his father?" Catherine asked.

As soon as Snape opened his mouth to answer, a red light suddenly lit up in his office, and then a crimson bird the size of a crane appeared, which stepped on the back of a sofa with its golden paws, shook its golden tail proudly, and handed Snape a note with its golden beak.

"Dumbledore asked me to come over." Snape got up after reading the note and said, "You stay here, you are not allowed to go out!" ”

Catherine was stunned for a moment before nodding, Snape didn't notice her strangeness, and went straight from the fireplace to the headmaster's office.
