HP trickle down

Hogwarts' vitality recovered very quickly, but Dumbledore has been unable to restore Hogwarts' guardian magic circle, which made Dumbledore very worried.After carefully looking at the magic circle, Dumbledore, who found no problems at all, was almost at his wit's end.

In just one day, Hogwarts had been restored to its original appearance from the outside.The fire element gathered in the Gryffindor Tower also dispersed, and Dumbledore did not find out who was helping him that day.

After all, Dumbledore is still well-informed, the mysterious man who secretly helped him, the fire in front of Hufflepuff, the overactive magical atmosphere above the Gryffindor tower, and the guardian Hogg The basilisk in Watts... Dumbledore always felt that the acromant this time was very strange.

The good news is that no one in the school was really injured, and Severus Snape, who was thought to be killed unfortunately, was also safe and sound, and even Burt Alfred and their mailing addresses were the same.

Dumbledore suddenly felt that something was wrong, but Burt's performance made him give up his suspicion that it was related to several children.Even if there was a relationship, Hagrid was actually the culprit who made things worse.Dumbledore had no way of finding out who the victim was.He didn't even know the name when his real name appeared, maybe it should have something to do with the mysterious person who helped him.

There are always some little secrets in Hogwarts, maybe something left by one of the four giants.Dumbledore didn't know what to do if he couldn't figure it out.

However, the evidence that Tom killed Myrtle has emerged.Dumbledore had no way to speak out about this matter, he still had a feeling of guilt towards Voldemort.

If he treated Voldemort better back then, wouldn't Tom be so extreme?

It is also for this reason that Dumbledore has not revealed Voldemort's true identity for so many years.

This is why he allowed Voldemort to develop and grow for so many years. Even if he disagreed with Voldemort's ideas, Dumbledore did not take practical actions to stop Voldemort in the first place.Of course, there is also a reason why Voldemort was not as aggressive and cruel at the beginning, which made Dumbledore just think that Voldemort was just trying to become a great figure who could influence the course of history.

The danger turned out to have appeared so early.

Dumbledore reached out and stroked the blank photo frame. Voldemort is now more paranoid than Gail was back then, and Dumbledore can no longer sit idly by.

……

Letters were sent asking the children to come back to school, scheduled for two days later, to go to King's Cross for the train at check-in time.

For the past two days, because his magic power has not been completely stabilized, Burt always feels mentally weak and groggy.Casting magic in the form of a magical creature can indeed cause astonishing destructive power, but the damage to itself is also astonishing.

Severus went to see Lily at this time, and Lily had been very sad ever since she knew that Severus might be the child who was eaten by the acromantula that night.

Then, Lily kept writing letters to send the owl to Severus, but within two days, Severus was almost buried by Lily's letters.So, even if it was for the little girl's peace of mind, Severus couldn't just sit beside Burt and ignore Lily.

Lily snatched Severus' attention, and Burt made another note to Lily in his heart.But he didn't have the energy to calculate anything, he could only squint his eyes, in a half-dream and half-awake state, slowly recovering his magic power.

When Anthony saw that Burt was safe and sound, the big stone that was raised in his throat finally fell into his stomach.

Anthony could only express his helplessness to Burt's drowsy appearance.Severus has no potion that can alleviate Bert's current symptoms, which means that Bert can only fully recover on his own.

Heinrich's complexion was also very pale, and he fell asleep as soon as he got in the car, looking even worse than Bert.

Anthony looked at it and wanted to ask Heinrich what he had gone through to make him so embarrassed, but it is better to let them stay like this for now. Anyway, when the train arrives at the station, these two guys will always fight. Be energetic and appear in front of people.

On this side, Severus was checked by Lily from the beginning to the end. After making sure that Severus was fine, Lily pulled Severus to sit down and said relaxedly: "It's best if Severus is fine." I was really worried when I heard that you had an accident."

"Lily, are you alright?" Severus couldn't check Lily like this, so he could only ask.

Lily smiled and said: "It's nothing, I was just scared. I really didn't expect that there would be such a monster in Hogwarts, and it surrounded Hogwarts. Fortunately, there were professors who protected me. We also protected the school."

Severus nodded absently.

"Severus, what's the matter with you?" Lily asked with some concern seeing that Severus looked a little unhappy.

Severus replied "It's okay", thinking that he would face Dumbledore tomorrow, he was still a little nervous.Logically speaking, Dumbledore should not suspect them, because from the time of the accident to the present, he can be sure that the four of them have not shown any signs.As for Lucius, it was only because Bert got caught.

"Severus, how is Burt?" Lily couldn't think of any other topics, so she could only ask Burt.

Severus curled his mouth, his eyes full of disgust: "What else can he do? It couldn't be better."

Lily clasped her hands together and showed a cute smiling face: "Everyone is fine, that's great. We were all shocked when the acromantula suddenly appeared in the Gryffindor dean's room. The professor had closed the door." , and the acromantula smashed the door. There are so many spiders, we are no match."

"James and the others went to help, and then the younger students left first. When it was the turn of the third grade, James suddenly refused to leave and wanted to help the professor deal with the acromant. I admire him very much. Courage, I finally understood, that day, why Burt was so mad at me for wanting to go out and help people who were calling for help."

"Courage is not a mistake, and it's not a mistake to want to help others. It's just that you are not capable enough, and you want to help others, but always worry the people who love you. This is the biggest mistake." Lily said here, her face The smile is also a bit bitter.

Severus was very relieved by Lily's maturity now, and felt relieved a lot.Lily is always a smart girl, she knows what she should do.

"You can figure it out, it shows that your brain is still useful." Severus said it so distorted even if he praised it.

Lily laughed out loud, and at this moment, the door of the carriage was opened, and Mary stood at the door and said, "Lily, I finally found you. I searched for several carriages."

"Mary, how have you been these two days?" Lily smiled even wider when she saw Mary.Walk over and sit down with Mary.

Mary picked up the drink on the table and took a sip: "I've been feeling great these two days. Although Hogwarts is very interesting, the time to go home is too short."

"I really don't know how Hagrid will be judged this time." After laughing a few words, Lily and Mary recalled the newspaper they subscribed to, saying that many people were very dissatisfied with Hagrid's behavior: not only at Hogwarts Raising too dangerous magical creatures, and even helping the acromantula when the magical creatures were clearly threatening the little wizard, this practice made the wizards even more angry.

In particular, Hagrid was still a half-giant.For those pure-blooded nobles, this is even a low and dirty bloodline, which is only slightly better than Muggle bloodlines, and even worse than house elves.

"Those nobles, the mysterious man helped Hogwarts eradicate the acromant, but he is still too scary!" The freckles on Mary's face became a little more obvious, and her frowning showed that her own sense of fear of Voldemort was real.After all, Mary wasn't technically a pure-blood.

Lily nodded too.Voldemort's ideas are undoubtedly very cruel to people like them. The existence of contradictions needs to be resolved, but Voldemort's methods are too aggressive.A lot of people were killed by him. Although most of the news she read now is full of praise for Voldemort, the news she saw earlier made Lily feel that the reports about Voldemort are deliberately blurred and beautified.

Severus didn't engage in the subject, and even after seeing Mary, he didn't speak.Severus didn't feel much of what the two little girls were worried about.

Although he is a half-breed, he is also a Prince. Voldemort will not do anything to a potion master.Even if Severus is not yet a master of potions, having Prince's bloodline is like having a passport to become a master of potions.Surely Voldemort could have thought too, so he was safe.As for the safety of the wizarding world, Severus was not that noble and didn't worry about it at all.

The only thing that caught Severus' attention now was how he would deal with Dumbledore tomorrow.

Although your Excellency the principal is old now, Dumbledore is definitely not an old fool.Therefore, it is definitely not easy to fool the past. Burt didn't say too much, but believed him.Severus also knew that as a headmaster, Dumbledore would not use any excessive methods, so he could not avoid worrying.

The presence of pressure made Severus calmer.

……

After not hearing Severus' voice for a while, Lily turned her head and saw that Severus was in a daze, and she waved her hand twice in front of Severus' dull eyes to call Severus' attention.

"What's the matter?" Severus looked at Lily.

Lily said with some concern: "Severus, are you feeling unwell? You're all distracted."

"It's okay." Severus shook his head.

Lily pursed her lips and scratched her fiery red hair: "Severus, isn't the topic I talked to Mary too boring? Are you not interested?"

"It's okay." Severus didn't even notice what the two girls were talking about.

"Then Severus doesn't seem to be in a very good state of mind. Has it been too hard to study potions at home these two days?" Lily asked worriedly while holding Mary's hand.

Severus said dryly, "I'm fine, you go ahead."

Lily didn't think it was good to snub Severus like this, but Mary suddenly whispered something in her ear, Lily frowned at first, and then felt that the idea seemed good.

"Severus, why don't we go to Parkinson's box together, Bert should be there too. Then you won't have nothing to talk about." Lily was actually curious about what Slytherin's noble box was What it looks like.

Severus glared at Mary who came up with the idea, but still calmly spoke in a voice not much louder than a whisper: "Lily, Anthony and the others are resting." Anthony and the others didn't know what they would say in the box, he couldn't possibly Just take them with you.

After Lily was politely rejected, she looked at Mary in embarrassment. This reason made them unable to force her.After Mary said "Oh", she and Lily whispered a few more words.

Lily looked at Severus, then at Mary, not knowing which to choose.

Judging from Lily's expression, she seemed very moved.

"How is it? Lily, isn't it interesting?" Mary asked with a smug smile.

Lily was looking forward to it, and invited Severus: "Severus, you had a lot of fun in the Gryffindor box in front, and there is still a while before getting off the train, do you want to go together?"

Severus forced a smile and murmured, "Lily, Gryffindor party, I guess...as a Slytherin, I'm not a welcome guest."

"Then, then I won't go either." Lily wanted to give up this chance to play.

Severus could only help his little girl, so he pretended not to care and said, "Lily, you go. Maybe Slytherin has some activities. I should go back too."

"Yes, Lily, let's go." Mary immediately echoed Severus.

"Then, I'm leaving, Severus." Lily hesitated.

Severus nodded slightly and said, "I'll take my leave too." Then he turned and left first.

Seeing Severus walking so fast, Lily seemed impatient to see if there was anything Slytherin was doing.So she also happily left the box with Mary.
