[HP] Spring Mountain is Sleeping

Severus left that hall, disorientated and Disapparated, to the last house in Spinner's End.

After tossing around in the Potion Association all day, it was already evening when he came out.Like Lucius said, Tom really doesn't live here.Everything in the room was neatly arranged, books from the Hogwarts library had been returned, and the floor had been cleaned.The bedroom and bathroom were clean, and even the sheets were replaced with the original black, as if no one had lived in the house for three or four years.Severus walked into the kitchen refining room and found that there were still some changes in the types of medicines, but who would pay attention to this except him?

As night fell, he didn't turn on the light, and sat curled up by the fireplace alone, sinking into the deepening darkness.

A sense of loss and despair filled the room, a frustration and humiliation he hadn't experienced since he started learning potions, no, since he started living as a wizard.Just 2 hours ago, who would have thought that Severus Snape, the youngest master of potions in Britain, and the recognized academic leader of the new generation of pharmacists, no one would dare to deal with him even as a high-level Death Eater Questioning his professionalism - he was expelled from the Potions Society, and it wasn't even for his poor performance in the questioning.

Plagiarism, plagiarism, fishing in troubled waters?So many people are filming today, and now the recorded images must have flowed to various channels along with the recording crystal ball. Tomorrow's "Daily Prophet" will even publish this big news, and they may still question all his previous achievements.He no longer has to think about conducting academic research in the UK. In the future, no journals in the UK will even agree to publish his papers, and regular pharmacies will no longer accept his products.

Severus stared at the dark ceiling, leaned his head against the cold outer wall of the fireplace, and let out a long breath.

Galleons, Merlin Medals, portraits, scolding or praise, these are not important to him, potions-in the past 20 years of dark career, this thing is almost his only spiritual sustenance.Double agents, Death Eaters, Dumbledore's murderer or the headmaster of Hogwarts, all of these are fake, uncertain, only the potions master is real, no one can take it from him take away from him.

Now, however, even this last bit of truth is gone, in a special, very real way.From now on, Severus Snape seems to be nothing more than an illusory name, entangled in all kinds of opposing and contradictory identities, and it will disappear forever behind these unspeakable veils.

The door suddenly opened, and a figure flashed in very quickly, and immediately turned around and closed the door.

"Tom?" Severus was sure he recognized him by the light of the street lamp outside.

"Of course, my little snake." Tom Riddle let himself adapt to the light in the room, put down the things in his hands, and walked quickly to the fireplace.He sat down there too, reaching out and pulling Severus into his arms.

"What have you been doing at the Potions Society today, Tom?" Severus demanded feebly.

"Oh dear, I know you're sad. Don't cry, that's not a Slytherin." Tom waved his wand, lighting a dim lamp on the floor, "Look, I brought you dinner." .Miss Granger and her companions were trying to stalk me, and it took me a while to get rid of them. Fortunately, Potter and Weasley left without answering Axel's questions, otherwise I would have been in a bit of trouble."

"Did you get me fired on purpose?"

"Isn't it, my potion master? You also have to taste the taste of betrayal and humiliation. You have done this to me several times." Tom took the takeaway bag over nonchalantly, took out the box inside, He held it in front of Severus flatteringly, "Well, eat it quickly, it's still hot."

Severus slowly pushed the things away: "I'm not hungry."

"That's no good, you can't take it out on yourself. I must say that your wonderful performance today has conquered everyone. If I don't speak, they really won't fire you." Tom picked up his share and started to eat again. Send the box to Severus, "Even if you don't have the title of Potion Master, you still have to eat, and the quality of the potion will not be affected by the title at all."

"Who is Kaparina?"

"The last time I was in a Muggle hospital, she was a nurse there."

"You don't live here recently, where did you go and steal her hair?"

"Yes, my little snake. When you wounded Saint Potter, I had to leave the house. I bet Miss Lelandy is crying over the sudden loss of half her hair." Fuck, open the fridge, and smash her boyfriend's entire scotch collection."

"My God, it turns out that the Dark Lord turned into a Muggle woman and sneaked into the hall of the Potions Association." Severus shook his head, as if he couldn't believe it. When it was held in front of him, he took it slowly.

"That's right. Otherwise I'll starve you and you'll have to eat. I'll have to count on you to make more potions," said Tom, gobbling his share, "Capa Lina Lerandi is famous now, and selling potions alone is enough to support the two of us. I don't have to conjure fairy gold coins anymore, we can make a lot of money."

"Are you going to spend the rest of your life like this?"

"Ha, ha, Severus, I know you don't think so." Tom laughed dryly, moving himself closer to Severus, "I think Lucius or Albus should have persuaded you Leaving the UK? Now you can no longer appear in British academia."

"What's up with you?"

"Oh, as long as you don't know Kaparina—you don't have to lie, because you don't know her—and you don't know where I live, which you really don't."

"Well, I don't know anything." Severus, who didn't know anything, looked at the dessert in his hand and sighed.

"You don't know anything. Everything in the future is none of your business. That's Miss Lelandy's business. Even if you resign from Hogwarts and hide in a cave, it doesn't matter. One day, she may Let's see if those idiots from the Potions Association dare to accept you again. She will let you be the chairman of the committee, and no one will dare to say that you are not the greatest potions master of this century. Take the notes as a golden rule and copy them 100 times."

"Are you suggesting this because you haven't copied the Gaunt family rules?" Severus raised an eyebrow, although Tom might not be able to see clearly in the dim light, "What about Miss Granger? She has Doubting you."

"Her and her companions? You don't have to worry about them. They are just a few young wizards who are not ranked in the Ministry of Magic. There are too many people ahead of them. Miss Lelandy will not threaten their wealth. Life. There are not many people in the Order of the Phoenix in the Ministry of Magic. The Minister of Magic will be re-elected next year. Believe me, Miss Lelandy does not plan to go to war with the Order of the Phoenix. Neither do you, Severus, you don’t even You need to work with her, you just have to know nothing and everything will fall into place."

"..." Severus blinked, as if he didn't understand.

"Oh, dear, it's getting late, let's go upstairs to bed." Tom cleaned up the leftovers. "It's a pity that the bedroom is empty. I won't be here for a long time. We have to enjoy it tonight, You know how much I like to see you in your chiffon pajamas."

"No, Tom, I'd better go back to school." Severus stood up, as if planning to leave.

"Come on, dear, I've put a wizard's warning spell outside, there's no way Potter, Malfoy, or the Ministry of Magic can come in casually, and no one can bother us." Tom put his arms around Severus Waist, with a little force, led him to the second floor.
