Chapter 33 Private Affair

　　It was lunch time after the Charms class. Severus had just arrived in the auditorium and was about to search for Regulus when he realized that the person he was looking for had already run towards him.

　　"Regulus, what's the matter?" We've been in such a hurry these days, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and even if we did, we couldn't say anything. Severus was surprised to see Regulus frowning, and he said something. What's up?

　　"Severus, I haven't seen you for a long time, can I ask you some questions?" Regulus uneasily took out the wand from his pocket and put it back, and returned to the Slytherin table with Severus. , the two chose a remote corner, but did not notice everyone's strange looks.

　　"Of course. I was just looking for you. What's your problem?" Severus took the food but didn't eat it. Talking while eating was not what a Slytherin should do, even if he and Portolo were there. It was always like this when we were together, but after all, this was the Great Hall, not his dormitory or their home - home, it was such a warm word, Severus happily asked the brother of his lover in front of him.

　　Regulus absentmindedly took food from a large plate of vegetable salad, pursed his lips, and said, "Well, Severus, does my eldest brother hate me?" "How so!

　　He often talks about you to me. ——Well, it's in our communication." Severus felt strange about the other person's feelings. Portolo had always cared about his younger brother, much more than Sirius who would choose the life he wanted. In fact, Sirius didn't need them to care. He was enjoying his time in Gryffindor.

　　"Well, Severus, you know, I have been helping Filch. Recently, his correspondence has become less and less. I wrote to him, but he did not reply. You are his friend, okay Can you help me ask why?" Regulus was surprised by Portoro's reaction in the past month. He was even more unfamiliar with him than before. His efforts seemed to be completely in vain. This situation made him feel at a loss.

　　"He's just been too busy recently, Regulus. That's exactly why I'm looking for you." Severus figured out the situation. During this time, he was preparing the potion, but Portoro spent a lot of effort. No less than his.

　　Regulus stabbed the salad in the bowl with his fork for a moment: "What happened?" Portolo's letter didn't mention anything, and he frowned again.

　　Severus decided to end the conversation as soon as possible so that he could start lunch: "It has something to do with Lupin..."

　　"Severus, you promised not to tell anyone else! My eldest brother knows?! Severus! You didn't keep your promise. !" Regulus excitedly raised his voice. It wasn't that he didn't trust Severus and Portolo, but...

　　Severus helplessly discovered that the two of them had attracted the attention of others. In the quiet Slytherin Making noise on the long table is a very unwise behavior. Almost all the little snakes quieted down and looked here. Is it because Regulus was too emotional? Severus felt uncomfortable with the eyes staring at him, and he stopped with a little displeasure: "Quiet! Regulus! Listen to me!"

　　Regulus also noticed his gaffe and stopped talking. , biting his lower lip.

　　"The Half-Blood Prince has developed a potion to suppress wolfsbane." Severus lowered his voice. Although the two of them chose a remote corner and talked in normal voices without fear of being overheard, it seemed that Regulus's words just now This behavior made everyone pay attention to the situation here quietly, so he had to be careful.

　　"What?" Regulus opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a while before he recovered and asked again: "What did you say! Is this true?!" His voice became louder again.
