客堂裡空無一人，奧維尼愣在原地，不知站了多久，是在艾麗的呼喊聲中回過神。

奧維尼失落起家，心機完整飄遠，艾麗見奧維尼如許也隻好將盤子裡的牛排倒掉。

在床上懵了一會，比及陽光有點曬到他時纔起來，又坐起來懵了一會，貌似在聽著四周的聲音，但很可惜，樓下並冇有傳上來任何聲音。

心中微微鬆了口氣，起碼確認了斯內普還冇有出事，這為他帶來了一絲心安。

麵前的食品一點點變冷，奧維尼臉上的赤色也一點點褪去。

Mom and I already know about your relationship and don't need to hide it from us, although Dad is curious about how you got together now. If you can, remember to tell Dad frankly (cross out) and describe it.

Everything all right? It's Dad. Dad has arranged for your protection to be sent to Dad a few minutes ago, and now Severus Snape is on his way to the Prince family address, probably to pass on.

再次坐到沙發上，因為些許動靜而抬起的頭，那種從但願的岑嶺跌落到實際的低穀的感受，就像是一場冇有絕頂的寒冬，讓民氣灰意冷。

徹夜，奧維尼的夢是空缺的，比及他再度睜眼時，天上是高高掛起的太陽，看模樣是已經靠近中午了。

奧維尼深吸一口氣，緩緩推開了門。

Besides, Will, you will always be Mom and Dad's child. Remember this sentence. You can ask for help if you can't solve anything by yourself. Dad knows you are sensible outside, but you don't need to be so sensible. We know we don't give you a lot of pany. If you really fall in love with him, your mother and I will consider giving birth to a brother or sister for you.
