(HP Fan) The "Squib" of the Black Family's

Chapter 41

     On the day of Countermeasure, after Portoro left, he didn't come back all night. Severus also didn't fall asleep. He couldn't explain how he felt about Bentley, even though he was now famous in the wizarding world. Half-Blood Prince, but he has too little life experience after all. However, he kind of understands what Portolo has been working hard for.

　　During class the next day, Severus had been in a daze. Firstly, it was because of what happened yesterday. Secondly, and most importantly, he was worried that Voldemort had already taken action. He won’t give up, so will something happen to Portolo? So even though he barely ate anything yesterday, he still had no appetite today and only had some salad for lunch.

　　"Severus, you look very unhappy." Regulus looked at his friend a little worriedly.

　　"I'm fine, Regulus, don't worry."

　　"Really? Do you want to go to Madam Pomfrey's? I haven't seen you in the past few days. Are you sick?" The other party looked pale. Regulus had no choice but to think so due to his complexion and extremely poor appetite.

　　"It's really okay. By the way, Regulus, Portolo gave me a sculpture he carved himself as a birthday present." Severus changed the topic.

　　"Sculpture? Brother is so awesome! Severus, can you let me take a look?"

　　Severus was silent. Because of Portolo, no one had ever been to his dormitory: "I'll take it next time Take it to Filch, well, I have to leave beforehand."

　　"Huh?" Regulus was a little surprised, but said nothing more.

　　Severus got up and left, frowning and returned to the dormitory, but there was no one in the dormitory - Portolo hadn't come back yet, it had been a day and a night, Severus stroked the statue of Portolo who was full of happy smiles His face was stunned for a moment. Now that they have walked the road, there is no room for retreat. Now the "Dark Star" needs strong power to protect it, and this smile needs strong power to protect it. He knows what he should do. .

　　Portolo was busy for two days and one night. He first checked the place where Bentley was found - the entrance to Knockturn Alley, but there were no clues there, and Bentley's injuries were a common technique used by Death Eaters. Indeed, Death Eaters They have always been fearless, and it was almost inevitable that they would do this if they wanted to get information about the Half-Blood Prince. However, Portolo also wanted to know what role the Order of the Phoenix played in this incident. Did they know nothing about it? Standing on the sidelines, perhaps, is fanning the flames?

　　However, looking at the current situation, these should not be the first priority, because those working for "Dark Star" were extremely panicked. Fortunately, Portolo did some ideological work in time, so that the werewolf and the employees After calming down, he spent another night in St. Mungo's, and had to deal with reporters, customers, and suppliers the next day... No matter how good Portoro's health was, he was already exhausted when he returned to Severus late at night. About to collapse.

　　"Sifu, Sifu, I didn't think it through... I thought they would have to wait at least a few more days... I thought it would be too late to let you gain strength first and then defend them..." Portolo said intermittently. He didn't cry. Everyone knew that what they needed at this time was not tears, but he regretted it. He just followed his original intention and wanted to let his lover have the ability to protect himself first. He thought that at least they would not take action so quickly. And obviously he thought wrong.

　　"Don't be sad. Our first priority now is to prevent this kind of thing from happening again." Severus looked determined. Portolo looked at that face and seemed to get strength from there. His face was already sore. His body became energetic again and he nodded, a complicated light flashing in his eyes.
