Harry had just finished his formal toilet and was now sitting in his old pajamas on the bed.
Fawkes and Hedwig had gone on an 'excursion' to hunt and fight their wings - or should he say "fly away"? .no matter, in any case, the two sure had their fun, which pleased the cat boys. After all, they were always worried about him, so they should have some time for themselves.
.Harry turned his attention back to the small box in front of him, it was the inside of his box of healing potions. But he had also filled her with other things that were important to him. Especially during the summer holidays, the content had already saved his life several times. .the green-eyed one was sure that his relatives did not want to kill him, but they were just too afraid of the wizards. .however, both his uncle and Dudley had very bad body awareness and so Harry and Harry had often been tormented to the brink of death.
.Carefully, the boy took out some of the vials and lay down carefully on the blanket, then he reached for a small book, which he opened.
"What are you doing there?"
As bitten by the savage Niffler, Harry jumped from his thoughts. .The ears lay close to the head and the hair on the head and tail were bristling.
"Sorry, I did not mean to scare you, but you were so engrossed in your reflections."
Severus sat down next to his partner on the common bed and smoothed his hair carefully. .The kid looked like a sea urchin on the warpath at the moment and the tail had something of a pipe cleaner. It looked pretty funny, but the potions master wisely avoided telling his husband, after all, he wanted to wake up tomorrow.
.After Harry had recovered from his fright, he pointed to the lined up items.
"I was just checking out which potions I need to replenish, I used up more than usual during those summer holidays."
Alarmed Severus looked at the many empty vials. .if he just thought about what those Muggles had done to his kitten, he got murder fantasies.
"What was in the whole vials?"
"It was a mix of all the potions Poppy gave me at the beginning of her treatment. Do not look so horrified, they were not all for me. "
.At Severus' questioning glance he continued with his explanation.
"Dudley has a new hobby since this year, he torments animals, the more helpless the better. Luckily, he does not kill her and quickly loses interest when one of the poor creatures no longer tries to defend himself.
.I always picked them up and got them well again. If it was cats, I brought them to the neighbor as soon as they felt better. I released the others somewhere away from the house. .All the animals that survived were smart enough not even to move any closer to Dudley. Unfortunately, I could not save everyone, I buried them behind the playground. "
.Harry tried not to think about the pictures of the battered little bodies and did not make it. He stopped crying without stopping.
Severus took the broken boy in his arms. It did not surprise him that Harry put the well-being of another being above his own. .his little one would always take care of others before he thought of himself.
"Why did not my cousin just be content to trample on me? None of these animals did anything to him, I just do not understand how anyone can enjoy doing that. "
.severus could hardly believe what he heard there. Harry would have preferred that his cousin had tortured him further. On the other hand, the potions master had just discovered just how typical this behavior was for his companion.
.So he just kept his hangover until it had calmed down again.
When Harry parted ways with his partner's embrace, his eyes fell on the little book. Curious, he looked at it, he had never seen such a specimen. .it was definitely not a textbook.
"What's this?"
Harry, who had followed Severus' look, smiled.
"In the book, I've written down all the potions and spells that I've developed or rewritten."
.When Harry saw the teacher's startled expression, he blushed and passed the little booklet on.
..severus opened the first page and promptly found the recipe for a pain potion, albeit with a different composition than was found in conventional potions books. .If the ex-spy had not been convinced of Harry's talent before, now he was! Not only did the composition of ingredients show understanding of this subject, but also of great ingenuity. .how had the boy come up with the idea of ​​freezing the spider silk from mixing in? Shortly thereafter, however, he already got the answer, she stood aside as a side note:
