"I'm asking about the one she was born with!" Old Mr. Prince glared at the top of the bronze mirror in displeasure, but the bud opened and closed for a long time, but did not make a sound.

"Secrecy Charm?" Old Mr. Prince raised an eyebrow, and then smiled evilly, "That's interesting." He slapped his wand hand vigorously to stop it from shaking, and quickly drew an intricate rune in the air.

And the necklace around his neck was growing the tenth green leaf at this time.

When Snape pulls the red-haired girl back to the clearing where they arrived at Prince Manor, and finds that it is impossible to use the apparition to leave, Catherine immediately experiments with the portkey, but the surrounding environment does not change at all, and tries to summon Dobby and Kechelli, but also receives no response, and the two quickly turn to the gate to the manor, and then find that the road has been blocked by a pile of hideous plants.

Snape angrily called out the house-elves of Prince Manor, only to learn that Old Mr. Prince had just sealed off the entire manor, and even house-elves could not enter or leave.

"Is the old guy crazy?" Snape asked incredulously, "Does he want to starve himself to death?" ”

"Please rest assured, young master. Twenty years ago, the Lord asked Billy and his companions to renovate the entire manor, and now it is completely self-sufficient. The house-elf, who calls himself "Billy", said proudly.

"So, the old guy wants to lock us up until the end of the world?" Snape looked in shock at the old house, hidden among the plants.

"The lord said that since Hogwarts is on vacation, please ask the young master and Miss Catherine to stay here until the end of the holiday!" Billy carefully repeats it.

Snape looked down at Billy, and the house-elf was immediately frightened and fell to the ground.

"Professor!" Catherine shouted helplessly, and then asked Billy with a smile, "Since Mr. Prince wants us to stay, we will naturally be gracious. But we didn't think about staying for a long time before we came, so we didn't bring a change of clothes at all? ”

"The little master's clothes, the master asked Billy to prepare them early in the morning, and as for Miss Catherine's clothes, the master has already sent someone to buy them." Billy replied with a shriek.

"Didn't you say you couldn't even get in or out?" Snape asked sternly.

"The lord sent someone out to buy it, and then sealed off the manor." Billy replied with a shudder.

"How do you bring that thing in after you buy it?" Catherine asked curiously.

"They're in charge of bringing in." Billy hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed to the plant blocking the gate.

Snape and Catherine turned their heads to look over and saw the wriggling, sharp branches passing in a large wooden box.

"Professor!" Catherine reluctantly said, "It seems that we really have to stay here until the Easter holidays are over." ”

Snape snorted coldly. Turning and walking towards the house, apparently to settle accounts with old Mr. Prince.

Catherine covered her mouth and smiled, then bowed her head and politely asked Billy about the condition of Prince Manor.

The Prince family is a potions family, in order to facilitate the study of potions, the family station is directly in the forest, although the area of the forest has been reduced a lot due to the Muggles' wanton deforestation, but under the influence of the Prince family, this forest in the middle of England is still a paradise for magical creatures.

Since the members of the Prince family almost all devote their lives to potions. So passing on the lineage was basically a task, so the family members were unusually scarce. Prince ran to the Muggle world to hide his whereabouts. The manor, which was originally like a botanical and botanical garden more like a wizard's residence, began to slowly become part of the forest.

If it weren't for the hard work of the house-elves, the manor would have been uninhabitable twenty years ago. Because Mr. Prince closed his door directly after his daughter disappeared, many of the rooms in the main house were converted into greenhouses by him. Even the living room has been turned into a playground for small animals, so in addition to the multi-protected real room, study and storage room, only the kitchen, master bedroom and second bedroom can be used normally.

The second bedroom was originally Erin's room, and it remained the same as when she left, until Snape finally agreed to inherit the Prince family, and Mr. Prince ordered the house-elves to take all their daughter's personal belongings to the storeroom.

But Snape had been to Prince Manor at that time, and he had left after less than a day, so this second bedroom, which already belonged to him, looked more like a guest room, which made the house-elves extremely dissatisfied, but the Potions Professor ordered them not to enter Hogwarts, and they had no way of understanding the hobbies and habits of their little masters, and naturally they could not make changes to the room.

Catherine had no intention of overstepping her bounds, didn't even know where Snape was, and didn't pay attention to Old Mr. Prince, she just let Billy take her around the manor until the Potions Professor came to her.

"The old guy's brain is absolutely crazy, he actually locked himself in the real room." Snape scolded before he could get closer, causing Billy to look horrified.

"Professor!" Catherine waved Billy away, and then persuaded softly, "Actually, it's not bad to vacation here." The red-haired girl looked at the beautiful scenery around her, couldn't help but close her eyes, open her hands, and feel the surging breath of life around her, "I haven't been so relaxed for a long time." ”

Snape looked at her and was silent for a long time, then suddenly said, "Now is not the time to relax. ”

Catherine opened her eyes in confusion and looked at Snape.

"Come with me to class." Snape said without hesitation, and then turned to leave.

Catherine was stunned for a moment, then smiled pleasantly, took a few quick steps, and put her arm around Snape.

"Huh?" Snape looked quizzically at the red-haired girl who was on his left.

But Catherine just smiled at him, and rested her head on his shoulder.

Snape raised an eyebrow, ignoring Catherine's unusual behavior and continuing to lead her to her destination.

"The stinky boy is so incomprehensible, no wonder he didn't even win a girl." In the real room on the third floor of the main house, Mr. Prince swore and looked at the round table in front of him, on which a peep magic array was arranged, and the magic array was showing Snape and Catherine's every move.

"This Young-Fairy is unusually simple." The only portrait in the room suddenly spoke, a beautiful woman dressed in fine clothes.

"If you're referring to the fact that she has the protective mark of those two rival sages, then I already know that!" Old Mr. Prince pursed his lips disdainfully, apparently not liking either of the men he had mentioned.

"No, of course I know you know this, after all, you are a sage yourself." The woman smiled gracefully.

"An unknown sage hiding in the forest waiting to die, to be honest, I don't want this honor at all!" Mr. Prince angrily smashed the handguard of the wheelchair, and the handguard fell to the ground with a "click", but he only glanced at it, and the handguard that had fallen on the ground flew back into place, and the traces of the break disappeared without a trace.

"My dear, you can't be a Potions Master without this honor." The woman was kind and persuasive.

"Humph!" Old Mr. Prince pouted in displeasure and said no more about it, and the portrait turned the subject back to the right track.

"The reason why I think she is not simple is because I suddenly had a very awkward feeling when I saw her for the first time," the woman paused before hesitating, "I feel that you will be suppressed by her." ”

"It's so obvious!" Old Mr. Prince shouted angrily, "I didn't expect that the stinky boy would accept a person who is completely opposite to him as a beginner disciple. You can't imagine how shocked I was when I first saw her. ”

"No, that's not what I mean! Although I am truly sorry that you will lose to an underage wizard in terms of demeanor, it is undeniable that you would not have lost so much in front of your guests if you had not been misled by his attitude! The woman said with great exclamation.

"Enough! Anna! You're my wife! Old Mr. Prince smashed the wheelchair handguard again.

"You have to admit that his bad temper obviously comes not only from his father, but also from you. And I," the woman held her head proudly, "did not see you for what you are. ”

"Greengrass! You do it again! I'll burn your portrait. "A blue flame rose from Old Mr. Prince's hand.

"This is the 468th time you've shouted this threat, and I desperately want you to put it into action." The woman looked at her husband calmly.

Old Mr. Prince's anger disappeared completely, and the flame in his hand disappeared without a trace.

"You know I can't do it." Old Mr. Prince buried his face between his hands in discouragement, "I can't bear to lose you, but I must continue to survive, because the family inheritance cannot be broken in my hands." ”

"Isn't the hope that you can leave in peace now?" The woman asked rhetorically with a smile.

"Okay!" Old Mr. Prince looked up unusually reluctantly, "I admit that the stinky boy has indeed inherited my talent in finding a partner. ”

"You're still so narcissistic! Kvass! The woman chuckled.

"If not, how can I marry you?" Old Mr. Prince leaned back in his chair and smiled arrogantly, and his haggard and old age could not overshadow his arrogant and domineering temperament.

"So I must admit once again that I really didn't see you for what you are." The woman bowed her head slightly and glared at her husband dissatisfied.

"You've said this five hundred and six times, do you want to repeat it again?" Old Mr. Prince raised an eyebrow in displeasure.

"I can do it forever." The woman tilted her head and smiled. (To be continued......)
