HP solves the mystery

Leaving aside the question of whether to go out or not, after enjoying a delicious dinner at home, Fu Maomao had to face something he had never considered.

"Take a bath with you?" Fu Maomao's eyes widened. You must know that when he was a cat, a cat occupied the bathtub. "Sev, I can do it by myself, really."

Fu Maomao decisively rejected someone's offer to help him bathe. It didn't matter when he was a cat, but now he has turned into a human.

Severus looked at his short stature and resistance on his face, feeling a little confused.

"But you are too short Tom, and you can't touch the hot water switch." The young man thought that he was a magical creature and would not be easily injured, but he was afraid that something would happen to him, so he could only answer patiently.

Fu Maomao looked at the switch high up, then looked down at his little feet, and suddenly became angry.

"Then... put the hot water on for me and I'll wash it myself."

Severus nodded helplessly, helped to adjust the hot water, and thoughtfully put the little yellow duck into the small basin.

"I'm in the house, just call me if you need anything." He warned and left uneasy.

Fu Maomao urged him to leave, closed the door, sat on a small stool, and took a bath with a towel with a kitten pattern.

But the child obviously forgot one thing. He was only four or five years old now, at the age when his hands and feet were short. After the shampoo was applied to his hair, the foam covered his eyes.

After he calmly cleaned it, he found that his eyes were still uncomfortable, so he had no choice but to summon the people in the room.

"Sifu, Sifu, my eyes feel so uncomfortable." He casually wrapped his belly with a towel, holding back the shameful cry of being slapped in the face.

Severus, who was always paying attention to the bathroom, immediately put down his book and ran in, hurriedly cleaning his eyes.

"Next time I'll wash your hair, and you can take a shower by yourself, okay?" The young man squatted down, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of the boy's eyes with a towel, and said in a soft voice, "I know you want to belong to yourself. You have a private space, but you are still a child no matter what."

Fu Maomao nodded with tears in his eyes, and a hazy thought passed through his mind. It would be great if these black eyes could always look at him.

Severus washed the boy in two or two, and then sat next to the sofa and blew his hair with a hair dryer. Rather than using magic, he preferred to experience this modern hair-drying mode.

Fu Maomao felt the cool fingers running through her hair and narrowed her eyes in comfort.

Next, Tom brushed his teeth, applied baby cream, and finally came to his own little bed.

"Sev, won't I sleep with you?" Tom asked quickly as he hugged the quilt and realized something was wrong.

Severus smiled and nodded. At first, he was afraid that Tom would suddenly become a human, so he kept him with him. But now that half a month has passed, he should get used to it.

"I'll let Haierbo accompany you, be good." He really raised Tom as a child, and even kissed him goodnight before leaving.

Tom touched his forehead and pursed his lips. The basilisk was cold and talkative. He didn't want the company of the basilisk at all.

The basilisk wearing a red nightcap and red socks spat out a message and slept in a circle at the end of the bed.

[Tom, go to bed quickly, we have to take the ferry tomorrow. ] The basilisk yawned, smacked its lips and closed its eyes.

Tom ignored the Basilisk's words, hugged the small pillow, stepped on the carpet with his bare feet, and quietly climbed into the big bed and fell asleep.

After Severus finished his work, he returned to his room and sighed when he saw the bulge on the bed.

Let him be, he's just a kid now. The young man thought to himself, silently turned off the headlights and lay down.

Ever since the kitten turned into a human, Severus had changed his homebody nature and went out more often.

For no other reason than to teach him to change his cat habits and strive to live a good life in the human world.

Tom had long been familiar with those things, and he might be more proficient at doing some things than a young man, but he didn't know why, so he patiently began to learn slowly.

On Christmas Eve, Severus sent a gift to Petunia in Cockerworth to congratulate her baby on her first Christmas.

Tom still has an impression of the green-eyed kid who loves to steal his snacks. Should it still be considered a feud? But at that time, his brain was twitching and the Potters resisted, so he took action.

In short, his feelings for Xiao Zai Zi are very complicated, and no one can sort out the right and wrong in it.

Originally, he didn't have that intention. If he had to blame, he could only blame the person who spread the prophecy. If he were asked what he would do if he had it to do over again, of course he would just use a cannon to kill him.

Severus didn't know about Tom's jumping mentality, so he took the little boy to the amusement park and spent a relatively happy night playing.

"Oh, Tom, point the camera at me and press this button to take pictures. Do you understand?" Severus taught Fu Maomao how to play with the camera, and he ran to the carousel.

Tom sighed helplessly and tried his best to capture the big kid on the carousel with his short fingers. The basilisk coiled itself on Tom's hat as a decoration, grinning and silently mocking someone's childishness.

The young man looked through the photos in the camera with a smile and nodded with satisfaction.

When I passed by a hot dog stand, I bought three. One to eat myself, one to give to Tom, and one to hold up for the basilisk to eat.

"Let's go take the cable car. From there you can pass the entire amusement park." Although Severus was suggesting, he was already walking over there.

Tom thinks the cable car is not fun. After he regains his magic power, he can fly as much as he wants. And the wizard's magic carpet and flying cars are not as interesting as the cable car.

He complained in his heart, and when he looked up, he saw the young man's shining eyes, which showed a genuine love for things.

On the cable car, Severus carefully explained the various buildings and delicious food to Fu Maomao, and occasionally took out his camera to take pictures for him.

Tom lowered his eyes. If the young man knew his true identity, would he still treat him so well?

When they came out of the amusement park and passed by the mall, Santa Claus was still there, and a group of chirping children sang Christmas carols around him.

Severus asked Tom if he wanted to take a picture with Santa and get a candy cane.

Tom looked at the little kids with runny noses nearby and shook his head and refused. This was such a shameful behavior, and Santa Claus was a false character. He was already past the age of expecting Santa Claus to arrive.

Severus nodded regretfully, and then they went to the hotel for a Christmas dinner and watched a fireworks show before returning home with unfulfilled satisfaction.

The end of the Christmas season means the end of leisurely days.

As the bell rang, time quickly came to 1983.

Severus rummaged through the pile of potions orders, calculated the delivery time, and called for the owl to arrive.

Tom saw that he was very busy, so he took the opportunity to say that he wanted to go out and play.

The young man looked at the room full of owls, thought for a while before nodding in agreement, gave him some pocket money, and asked the basilisk to watch him carefully, and then watched him go downstairs with the feeling of an old father sending his children to school.

The snow on the street was shoveled to the side of the road by snowplows, and it was as thick as a wall of ice.

Some of the children nearby were building snowmen, some were having snowball fights, and the bolder ones were playing on the snowdrifts.

Tom knew that someone had been paying attention to him, so he pretended to play with the children for a while, and after looking away, he took the money and got on the wizard bus.

Lucius, who was hiding in the manor and soaking in the hot springs with his wife and son, lost his peaceful life. He could only endure his resentment and dragged Regulus and Dolohov to discuss how to convert Muggle electrical energy into magic energy.

Lucius was speechless when he saw the letter sent by Voldemort. What if he asked them to invent a perpetual motion machine?

Tom doesn't care about the grievances of his subordinates. He only cares about the results. As for the process, who cares?

But now, he's running into a little trouble.

"Hey, kid, hand over all the money you have!" The two teenage boys surrounded Tom and reached into his pockets, not thinking that the five-year-old boy would escape.

They have been paying attention to this child for a long time. He lives in a high-end community and is dressed expensively. He must be a wealthy owner. And now that there are no adults around him, he happens to be blocked by them, so he has to search hard.

Tom nimbly dodged the outstretched hand. His expression was unclear through his half-closed eyes, but it could be seen from his furrowed brows that he was in a bad mood.

Tom recognized one of the boys. Even though he had grown taller, he was still very fat. The freckles on his face made him look a little fierce. The boy with freckles was the boy who injured Tom's leg with a branch when he was still a black cat. No one, but the girl following him disappeared.

[Hiss, Tom, do you want my help? ] The basilisk twisted its body and asked in a low voice.

【Need not. 】 Tom answered in snake language, already thinking about how to 'repay' them. He fought back by himself when he was in the orphanage.

Tom's red eyes stared straight at the tall boy, as if there was an endless abyss inside, and everyone who looked at it would be drawn into it.

The tall boy felt a little scared. He spat on the ground, rolled up his sleeves impatiently and tried to choke Tom.

But in the next moment, the branches above the head came down with a large amount of snow, just knocking the tall man to the ground, but Tom beside him was safe and sound, with no snowflakes on his body.

The freckled boy looked at this scene in shock and wanted to rescue his companion, but his raised leg was tripped by something and he stumbled forward.

The freckled boy climbed up from the ground with difficulty, spit out the snow in his mouth, and looked at the black-haired boy in front of him in fear.

Tom curled his lips, stared at the freckled boy with his red eyes for a while, and rubbed his fingers in boredom.

The freckled boy wanted to run away, but it was obviously too late. His fat face, which was red from the cold, began to expand, his small eyes continued to protrude outwards, and his mouth opened wide. He swelled, and the clothes on his body were torn by the swollen body. The buttons on it bounced in all directions like bullets, and one of them hit the tall man on the forehead.

"Help, help, there are, there are monsters, ah ah, mom! Mom! Ooooo..." The freckled boy's fingers were as swollen as sausages. He opened his mouth to scream in fear, and his limbs moved uncoordinatedly, but soon He floated off the ground, flew into the sky like a hot air balloon, and was finally hung on a telephone pole.

The basilisk silently watched the 'balloon' making noises and made a weird laugh.

[Haha, hiss, he looks like a pig! Well done Tom! 】

Tom's depressed mood, stimulated by that 'monster' sound, felt better, and he pursed his lips and smiled.

[Let’s go home, it’s not fun outside. ] The delicate-looking boy smiled like an angel. He took one last look at the tall man unconscious under the branch and curled his lips in disdain.

He didn't take it seriously, and the Basilisk thought it was nothing, so they just went home.

Not long after they left, the parents who came to see their children screamed in surprise and hurriedly called the fire brigade.

When the accident reversal team showed up, they happened to see the firefighters taking the escalator to rescue the bloated boy.

"Jean, it seems we are busy." The woman in a sweatshirt chewed gum and shrugged at the middle-aged man next to her.

The middle-aged man named Jean nodded, picked up the walkie-talkie in his hand and reported the situation, then took the wand to restore the bloated boy to his original state and began to modify their memories.

"How much bonus can we get this time?" The woman in a sweatshirt flipped through the booklet and walked in the direction where Tom left.

"I don't know," Jean took a drag on his cigarette, "but it's true that a certain parent will be fined."

The woman giggled. The two of them were new employees recruited by the Ministry of Magic last year. Originally, the incident team was a Qingshui Yamen, but after the minister carried out reforms and added bonuses and fines for those who caused incidents, they gradually became rich. stand up.

However, the two of them searched around and couldn't find anyone on the book who fit the situation. After all, there weren't many wealthy wizards with children living in the city center, well, not counting those from Universal.

They walked around and asked several wizards, and finally came to Severus' door.

"So, you are part of the accidental team," Severus pointed at Tom, who was sitting in front of the sofa watching TV, and pointed to their IDs, "and my kid used magic to blow a Muggle kid into the sky?"

"Well, to be precise, the child was inflated into a balloon and flew into the sky, and another child was knocked unconscious by branches and snow." Jean explained patiently, because he had seen too many fines. Bear is a parent.

Severus looked at the middle-aged man with difficulty. It's true that the cat is a magical creature, but he has never seen the cat use magic. What's more, he just went downstairs to play. If he hadn't been troubled by others, the cat was Won't fight back.

"Oh, don't worry, we have restored the child, and his memory has been adjusted. He will not remember this incident, and no harm was caused." The woman replied good-naturedly when she saw that the young man was a little suspicious.

Severus saw this and called Tom over and asked about it.
