43 Chapter 42

After hearing Hope's explanation all of them become silent then suddenly Jack asked," So you mean if we want to develop in technology then the price we have to pay will not be by money alone but our powers."

Hope nodded and said," Yes, but it's not like you just have to stay here in the wizarding world all the time. you can also go to Muggle world like some kind of vacation trip or Honeymoon something."

Hearing the last part both Daphne and Hermione blushed and Lily said after she noticed their faces," Hope, Severus forbid us from talking about these things before fourteen right?"

Hope sighed and said," Lily I don't know if you have noticed or not but I did those girls' hungry eye on him and they will make their moves on him soon. I don't want to lose Sev in any way."

Lily becomes silent and said after some time," But he promised us right."

Hope annoyed at her naive nature," are you serious? it was a promise that a 9-year boy made to 9-year-old girls, what if he doesn't remember that right now?"

Lily becomes silent and everyone looked at them anxiously, they were ready to separate them if a fight broke out but suddenly a voice from behind came.

Severus who was hearing their conversation this whole time said," I never forget even a single moment three of us have spent together Hope."

All of them turned towards the voice and saw Severus, Hope was shocked and tried to say," Sev I.."

Severus cut her in middle and said," I know you didn't mean anything bad from it and I am telling you to sleep because it is too late so go sleep."

Hope was about to say something but Severus left immediately after finishing his words not giving her any chance to say anything.

Regulus seeing all this come beside Hope and comforted her," It's okay, I know he is not mad at you as we all know, how much he appreciates your and Lily's company maybe he is just tired of all these problems we are going through right now."

Hope nodded and said," I hope that it is really what you're saying."

Regulus smiled and said," Don't worry I will talk to him."

Regulus went in the direction where Severus went and Everyone else go to sleep. Regulus come outside and saw Severus standing in front of the lake with a calm expression on his face.

Regulus only thought one thing in his mind,' Beautiful!!'

He realised what he was thinking and immediately shook his head and walked to Severus. Regulus come beside Severus and stands beside him also admiring the beauty of the black lake at night.

Severus said after some seconds of silence," Reg, have I done anything before that will make them suspicious about me?"

Regulus shook his head and said," No you haven't and I also think that you are kind of overreacting right now."

Severus turned towards him and said," Tell me how."

Regulus sighed and said," Look even if you have made them mature for their age, they are still 11 years old girls who were just living in a society which is ruled by democracy and here in the wizarding world they are now seeing the darkest nature of humans. have you thought how will affect their mental state?"

Severus looked at Regulus' face and sighed," you are right, I was the one overreacting, opposite my nature looks like love makes you an idiot."

Regulus nodded and said," Now we should head inside and do the first thing in the morning go and talk to Hope."

Severus nodded and both of them head back to the dormitory on their way back Severus said," Thanks Reg, for explaining to me that I was so wrong. you know I have seen relationships breaking and how people feel while keep being in that relationship. I don't want that my, Lily and Hope's relationship becomes like that."

Regulus said," If you want that then make sure that you never thought of them as your source of happiness but make sure you are their source of happiness because after some time you start exploiting their happiness."

Severus nodded and make a mental note to not forget these words ever in his life both of them went back to their rooms and honestly, both didn't like even one bit about sharing their rooms with others but they just can not let unknown boys sleep in one of the rooms without someone watching them.

Severus looked at the face of Jack who was very nervous but Severus didn't say anything and just removed his upper jacket and get to the one side of the bed and said," if any part of your body comes to this side of the bed, you won't have a peaceful day and I mean it."
