[HP] Spring Mountain is Sleeping

Severus' belly looked more and more like a raised hillock, growing in size.

The current situation is good. For the time being, his magic power is fairly stable, and there have been no major fluctuations caused by the baby's absorption.The pregnant woman's complexion has recovered. Although he is tired, he may stand or sit at the window for a long time to watch the scenery, and sometimes he can take a walk on this tightly guarded floor.Severus has been feeling very bored recently. Apart from reading, his daily pastime is to keep picking on the quality of the hospital's potions. He complains about everything about them with all kinds of gorgeous rhetoric - materials, heat, cooking methods, texture, color and effects.Therefore, the healers strictly prohibited him from experimenting with potions, including no cauldrons or stirring spoons in his range, let alone any potion ingredients.

Much to the Savior's delight, the Potions Master had several times rejected the suggestion to go to Malfoy Manor, although Lucius was still a frequent presence in that ward.This put Harry at ease for a while.He's at the bar again, still looking like he's drinking heavily—for he's never discovered that Firewhiskey seems to clear his head—to burst into more inspiration.

Yes.Inspiration, yes.

He was sober even when he was drinking heavily.He needed composure in the current situation.Calmness is especially needed when dealing with a natural viper like Lucius Malfoy.

Mr. Sorting Hat was right, Harry Potter found that he still had some Slytherin traits.

In the absence of Dumbledore, and the covert protection of the former Head of Slytherin, he could - rather, he should, and could only rely on himself.

A few days ago, everything was peaceful.After it was confirmed that Severus had lost his memory, after a heated debate, they agreed to keep it a secret for now, and to postpone the matter until after the baby was born, so that until then, the Potions Professor could have a peaceful life.

Harry hadn't heard anything amiss in the Ministry until the day he ran into Charlie Weasley while wandering around Hogsmeade.

The red-haired guy, on holiday from Romania, enthusiastically tugged Harry to the Hog's Head for a few more drinks—well, bottles, to be exact.After the war, signs of prosperity in the surrounding area of ​​the recovery period may have made everyone let down their guard.In addition to generously promising to give Harry a pair of precious dragon eggs next time, Charlie also inadvertently inquired about the memory of the former potions professor.

"I heard that he has forgotten many things in the past..." The red-haired man stood on the stone road in Hogsmeade, looking at the savior with blurred eyes.

"That's normal." Harry instantly became alert, and replied after consideration, "He was seriously injured in the last battle and almost bled out. This will affect the brain. You must have read the newspaper."

"But what if he forgets about Lily?" Charlie patted Harry on the shoulder.

"How do you know that?" Harry asked in surprise.

It wasn't until the words came out that Harry realized that he had said the wrong thing nervously - he should never have acquiesced to others, and it was true that Severus had forgotten Lily.

Even though he belonged to the Weasleys, Charlie wasn't in the know.

"Ginny and George said that they kept complaining that Ron kept it a secret from them." Charlie shrugged indifferently, "Mom asked us to keep it a secret, it's okay, this kind of thing should be kept a secret. Let's go eat some more what?"

Harry pretended to be a step behind, trying desperately to suppress the shaking of his hands.Ginny and George?The two of them are not within the scope of what should be known!This meant that the secret had already been circulated in the Weasley family.

He wasn't in the mood to hang out with Charlie at all.He had to know who the whistleblower was as soon as possible - not Ron, Hermione, or Arthur, Harry intuitively ruled out these three Weasleys, the real whistleblower was someone else.

The savior knew very well that among all the insiders of the Order of the Phoenix, the Weasley's house, where there were many people and many people, was the easiest place to leak secrets.Harry didn't know who already knew the secret, but since Charlie was able to tell it in Hogsmeade, it was likely to reach the ears of the Daily Prophet reporter someday.

At that time, under the pressure of people who don't know the truth, it is impossible for the Ministry of Magic not to announce the arrest of Severus and forcefully induce the "flesh and blood of the evil Dark Lord".

Harry must be thankful that Charlie's carelessness today allowed him to intercept relevant information before the situation expanded.

If that happens, who will gain?

The Malfoys?Harry's intuition pointed to the ex-nobles who were still free.Perhaps intellectually, no one would trust the prudent ex-Death Eaters Lucius or Draco to cause a leak, but at least, if St. Mungo was in danger of being searched, Malfoy Manor could immediately give Severus Provide a relatively safe refuge, perhaps the only refuge.

And that's the crux of the whole thing.

Imagine if things escalated, members of the Order of the Phoenix leaked their secrets and the Ministry of Magic arrested Severus and took him to court - Harry believed that, no matter how it went, Severus would eventually be vindicated, He suspected that Lucius had other evidence in his hands.Even if there is no other evidence, the three of them, obviously, will run for the professor for their own purposes-the end result is that the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic have made great efforts and lost both sides, and the Malfoy family, which firmly provided cover, once again became opportunistic. hero.

Harry had to run the risk of the golden trio completely turning against each other.After an unprecedented row, he finally persuaded Ron and Hermione to help him spy on the rest of the Weasley family.

Weeks passed, and Harry nearly broke down when he learned that George had secretly done business with Draco for the Joke Shop.

To make matters worse, he had already heard rumors about it in the Ministry of Magic.

The spread of news may not be stopped, is there no other turning point?

That night, Harry grabbed the floe powder and walked into the fireplace.

He went to find someone.A person who is not in the know, but should be trusted.
