[HP] Spring Mountain is Sleeping

Harry Potter thought he was favored by Merlin, because he actually witnessed the second awakening of the Potions Professor during his watch.

This time it wasn't even what he saw, it was what he heard.When he heard the sound behind him at the entrance of the cave, he turned around and saw that the patient had woken up.Severus tried to move his body on top of the green foliage, but couldn't get up.The Potions Master seemed to be recovering well, though, and had probably been watching him for a while.

"No, Professor, don't move." Harry hurried over, "How do you feel?"

"Potter," the Potions Master didn't seem to have forgotten anything like the last time. Although he tried several times and still couldn't get up, he still turned his head and neck as best as he could, "Is this... that cave?"

"Yes, sir." Harry knelt down in front of him, "I'll get a therapist right away."

But he noticed that the man lying there seemed to move his fingers, maybe there was some disapproval in it, or some hesitation.So Harry gave up the act of standing up and moved closer to the Potions Master again.

"No." Severus fixed his eyes on Harry for a moment before answering, as if he was taking a long breath, although he wasn't actually breathing.His voice was a little fuzzy, probably not fully recovered yet.

"Wait a minute, who else is here?"

"Me, and a healer. He went down the valley just now."

"There are only two people, why are you here?"

"Someone needs to be on duty here."

"It's not necessary." The Potions Professor made a brief judgment.

Harry shrugged, but didn't answer.

In theory it does.The healer didn't play any practical role here, just observed Severus' situation every day, and tested him for magic fluctuations, and then always had a lot of time wandering in the mountains, collecting plants to make potions.

Even if there is no food, only relying on the input of Riverdale, the patient can maintain until the physical strength is basically recovered.According to the results of the magic fluctuation detection, Severus' almost completely disrupted magic system is being rebuilt, and it doesn't look like it will take too long to recover.

"We're doing research on Riverdale." Harry thought for a moment and argued.

That's true, Severus couldn't argue, rolling his eyes up at the rough ceiling above, then at Harry.

"That 'we' certainly doesn't include you, Potter of Gryffindor. What are you doing here, Mr. Potter?"

"I'm on duty. Our Order of the Phoenix and the Malfoy family take turns on duty."

"Boring." The potions professor, who was still weak, didn't have the strength to use his poisonous tongue, and after a few words, he was already a little tired.

"It is necessary, sir. Tom Riddle may come back, and we must be on our guard."

Hearing the name Tom Riddle suddenly, Severus' eyes showed a bit of confusion, and then stayed on Harry's face for a while.

"Has he never come back?"

"I don't know, sir, but we never heard from him."

"It's been... since when did it start?"

"Since that time, you teleported him away. We have never heard of him again."

Severus needed a little time to recall the previous events, he paused, and seemed to be able to react: "Is that the time you were here?"

"Yes, sir, it's been nearly two years. Where did you teleport him?"

"I don't know, I don't have a fixed goal." Severus turned his eyes to look at the tall hole, and the sunlight was coming in from there, making him squint, maybe he was already unfamiliar with this place , "Has it been two years? It seems that I have been asleep in Malfoy Manor for a long time."

"Yes, sir. Riverdale works. Will Tom be teleported far away?"

"I don't know, that spell hasn't been tested, but I think it will."

There was a momentary silence in the cave, except for some shrill whistle-like sounds from the wind in the valley blowing through the crevices in the rocks.Harry felt as though he had lost his voice.

"That child, I sent him to the Burrow before I came here, and Mrs. Weasley helped take care of him." After a while of silence, he finally found a topic.

"Oh, him." Severus replied slowly, seemingly uninterested, "Is he all right?"

"Yes, sir. The Ministry of Magic gave me a sum of money to cover his expenses, but I haven't used it much."

"Maybe I should thank you."

"I voluntarily, sir."

"I'm sleepy," said Severus, "I need to sleep a little longer. Then you can go down and call the healer, Potter."

"Okay, sir." Harry stood up and walked towards the path at the entrance of the cave.During this period of time, they dug some steps on the cliff and widened part of the path to make the path easier to walk without bumps and bumps, so that it would be more convenient to transport patients in the future.

"Tom will be back," Severus whispered behind him, his tone very firm.

Harry turned around and looked at the Potions Master who had fallen asleep again, leaning against the hole and thinking for a while.

Did their conversation just miss something important?
