[HP] Spring Mountain is Sleeping

"Tom? What are you doing?" Sleepy-eyed Severus came out of the bedroom, before stretching, he was surprised to see Tom wearing a traditional black robe with many buttons, Facing the mirror, he twisted his waist.Sunlight from the magic windows poured into the cellar, and with the cool morning breeze, it seemed it was getting late.

"Oh, Sev, you're awake." Tom glanced at him. "Principal Taylor said you'd probably wake up today. I called Nessy early in the morning. Breakfast is already in the kitchen."

He must have slept for several days, since the eruption of the potion.Severus rubbed his eyes, probably because of the potion, he wasn't fully awake yet.He glanced at the kitchen, but didn't go to have breakfast.

"Are you... are you wearing my clothes?"

The dress seemed to be a little out of place, and Tom had some trouble buttoning it down the neckline.

"Of course, why do you have to button up all the buttons? It's really uncomfortable." Tom complained, and then began to drink Polyjuice Potion.

"What are you going to do, Tom?" Severus was still confused.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the morning. Of course you don't know it after sleeping for so many days. I've already taught you two Potions classes. Go to dinner."

"What Defense Against the Dark Arts class?" Severus rubbed his brow bone with some strength, but he still didn't react.He hadn't eaten for a few days, and he was feeling a little weak, his poor stomach rumbling in protest.

"I've got to get out, or I'll be late, and Albus will explain to you." Tom hastily cast a levitation spell on the hem of the black robe, turned around and pointed his wand at Severus, "you You are not allowed to go anywhere, and you are not allowed to go out from the door of this house, stay at home, and call Nessie if you have something to do."

"Wait, you mean to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Severus finally sobered up.

"That's right." Tom practiced a turn in front of the mirror that made the hem of his black robe flutter.

"My God, what's going on?" Severus howled at the ceiling, "Merlin, you're going to kill them all by Avada, who's going to let you go to class? Albus?" ?”

"No, no, dear Sev, I won't jinx them, I don't even need to use my wand for those little ones, and I will never speak a word of Parseltongue, no one knows It's me." Tom tucked his wand up his sleeve. "I can call out a few students by name, which you can't, Severus. Go and eat your breakfast. Say it again, you Don't go anywhere, hide in your bedroom or refining room, and don't take the Floo."

Speaking of the "floo web" reminded Tom, and he cast a shielding spell at the fireplace and hurried out of the cellar.The black dragonskin boots echoed on the stone floor, and the hem of the black robe drew gorgeous curves in the corridor.No doubt no one would think that it wasn't old Bat Professor Snape.The door closed, and Severus, still in shock, stood there, nearly collapsing against the doorjamb.

"It's nothing, Severus, Defense Against the Dark Arts was his dream. Now you have to go to breakfast."

"Albus!" Severus snarled, jumping up like a toad, and pounced on the portrait on the table. "You actually agreed to let him go to class? Tom?"

"It's not me, I don't have this authority anymore, Severus. This was agreed by Minerva, of course she thought it was you."

"No, what the hell is going on here? I can't even imagine..." Severus spread his hands, "Him? What did he do to Minerva?"

"It was an accident. On the day you fell asleep, Minerva asked for a potions teacher impromptu, and Tom answered with visions."

"And then he went to class?"

"Of course, he said yes to Minerva, and we found out later that you passed out in the refining room, so he went by himself. He took two potions classes, and I heard that he put Gryffindor and Slater together. Lin's points are almost deducted. He took Polyjuice Potion to go to class, and everyone thought it was you."

"Then..." Severus was a little unsure if he was capable of digesting the information, "He deducted points from Slytherin?"

"Yes, it doesn't matter. He told Minerva he wanted Defense Against the Dark Arts and would let him know if there were vacancies. That's it, nothing out of the ordinary."

"Has Merlin been in such a good mood lately? I want to greet him from head to toe, and Tom," Severus hissed, "Let Lord Voldemort go and give these little bastards Defense Against the Dark Arts class? How dare he deduct points from Slytherin! Albus! And you say there's nothing unusual about it?"

"Of course, I'm not worried that he will use evil spells on the students. What's the point of that to him? There are no students marked by the prophecy in the school now. It would be great if he would teach them illusion magic. According to me As far as I know, there is no professor in our school who is particularly good at illusion magic." Albus leaned back in his high-backed chair, and picked up a cup of honey tea.

"Have you been discussing illusion magic with him these days, and transfer spells?" Severus had forgotten to eat breakfast, "Oh, my God, but you don't even know what he wants to do! He always I want to make some big news!"

"I don't really know what Tom's thinking, what he's trying to do at the moment," Albus admitted, "so I'll have to watch him act, and if he doesn't act, it will be worse, and we'll never know. For a few days he discussed illusion magic and teleportation spells with us, and he had a couple of ancient tomes of spells from the library, which I must say we were very interested in. The only thing Headmaster Tyler was sure of was that Tom had a good idea of ​​how Not interested in growing Rivedale."

"I don't expect the Duke of Darkness, who can't even grow hair, to be able to grow any weeds." Severus said bitterly, "Then he talks to you all about spells? I can't imagine... "

"No, Tom isn't here a lot, I'm guessing he still spends most of his time in the Forbidden Forest, there's no way he's wandering around the school without using Polyjuice Potion, maybe he still lives in the Shrieking Shack. You can go to the Refinery Look, I don't think he's been making potions very often."

"That's the place that really suits him. It's full of rags, stupidity, and corruption." Severus found that he didn't have any more energy to comment on Tom Riddle's crazy behavior, so he had to walk dejectedly to the kitchen to eat breakfast.He checked the refining room by the way, and Albus was right, Tom didn't add much to the material cabinet, and he didn't add anything new to the medicine cabinet.As for the two stubborn Rivedale trees, after using high doses of potions and spells and paying the price of sleeping for a few days, they still didn't show the slightest sign of growth.

According to Quentin Taylor, it may be that the potions do not contain the dormancy-breaking substance that Riverdale needs, although the ex-headmaster is optimistic that each plant has its own growth stimulant.

The author has something to say:

In fact, I think as long as Tom doesn't mess with things, life can go on like this (wrong)...
