[HP] Spring Mountain is Sleeping

"Graceful Hufflepuff!" Quentin Taylor whispered towards the ceiling beyond the picture frame as Tom walked across the cellar drawing room carrying the heat-warming herb bag.

"Hey, two, it's me, Tom Riddle. It's nothing surprising, and it's not my first time at Hogwarts." Tom waved his wand in his pocket at them casually, "You know that I I can speak Parseltongue, and I am also very happy to help Severus reduce the burden of work."

"Tom!" Severus yelled from over there, "as if you didn't just point your wand at me for a password! Don't waste time, get the stuff in, it'll only take five more minutes It will drop dramatically!"

"Okay, okay, my dear, I will definitely not exceed 5 minutes." Tom walked towards the refining room while speeding up his pace, while stretching his head towards the portrait of Albus Dumbledore, "Hey, Albus Dumbledore Think, how about the sweets in the portrait? I think it's possible for the illusion magic to create the same effect as the portrait, and then I'll make some sweets a lot. And I won't give you trouble, you must already know that I have Severus Stein's Polyjuice Potion..."

"Tom!" The potions master roared from the refining room, and there was the sound of something knocking on the table.

"Come on, come on, dear Sev, it's not good to be in such a hurry."

Quentin Taylor looked at Tom's back as he slid into the refining room, and then at Dumbledore who was a little stunned next door.

"Albus, what do you think? I bet even a benevolent Hufflepuff wouldn't allow this guy into the cellar like this."

Dumbledore leaned back in his chair and shrugged, not bothering to start his honey tea. What happened now seemed to exceed his expectations.

"I don't know them very well, Albus, and you have always dealt with matters concerning the Dark Lord."

"Oh, Quentin, this seems a bit bad, but Tom... It doesn't seem so bad." Dumbledore finally reacted, and started to get the teacup, "I haven't dealt with this kind of thing, you have to let me Think for a while."

"Tom! You depend on Riverdale to grow your hair and nose!" Severus' growl increased in decibels. "Tell me, what the hell did you do in that cave up there? Tell me!" .”

Judging from this posture, Severus probably hasn't forgotten to point his wand at Tom.

"I haven't done anything. I've watered them, loosened the soil, tried Warming and Freezing Charms, and tried a couple of growth-enhancing spells on them, but they didn't respond..."

"How long were you there in all?"

"Not more than a week in all, and I said I didn't stay there very long."

"that's it?"

"That's it. So why did you ask me to pick the six-pointed star grass and wild buco today? I don't remember any potion that uses these two things."

"This is for Pomona's herbal growth potion. I plan to try it here first."

"Are you going to try these two Riverdale trees first?"

"Of course, I've tried it before, and they didn't grow. The six-pointed star grass and wild radish are the key ingredients. I plan to change the formula a little this time."

"Oh, Sev, I don't know much about this, you have to talk to the person outside, or look it up in the library, or ask this question at your daily academic meeting..."

"I don't hold seminars any more, and now none of the little trolls come over at night to discuss Riverdale." Severus replied bluntly, his voice was still silky but unlovely, "As for Mr Taylor, he obviously wouldn't agree, and neither would Pomona."

"Then what if I don't agree?"

"Get out of here for me."

"It's very dangerous. The use of stronger stimulating growth potions and magic spells may cause unintended consequences, especially for powerful magic plants like Rivedale. I still need to communicate with them later. I think the regular Growth potions may not be the specific substances that Riverdale needs." Headmaster Taylor shook his head, expressing his disapproval of this risky behavior, "However, Albus, this cellar has a silencing spell, I'm afraid their voices just now The whole Slytherin common room could hear it."

"Must be, Mr. Taylor, since the first day Severus came here, this place has always been the forefront of all kinds of quarrels. I bet you can't imagine Tom putting his bald head in the fireplace before Like Severus lecturing."
