HP Paranoia and Antisocial

When Della came home from get off work, she was busy in the kitchen immediately. Her husband, Kona, was an Auror and was very busy with work. She had to take care of herself.

Connor rarely came home from get off work on time, and even Della herself forgot when was the last time she had dinner with Connor.

Della rewards herself by cooking tonight's feast in earnest.Cooking is one of her favorite things and she is good at it. In school, she often studies with her friends how to make food taste better.

Smelling the aroma of food coming out of the pot, Della felt that her saliva was secreting a lot faster.Turn down the heat and wait for the stew in the pot to simmer for a while, Della wants to peel an apple for herself contentedly.Della hummed, and the doorbell rang unexpectedly.

Della put down the fruit and the knife, and trotted to open the door while responding. She didn't expect that it was Irene outside the door.

"Irene..." Irene's condition looks terrible, the blood on her face and tangled hair, the clothes are wrinkled, there is no way to provide any warmth for Irene, she seems to have just experienced a terrible violence.

"Della..." Irene came here like a ghost. After seeing Della, Irene regained her senses and grabbed Della's arm, as if grabbing the last straw.

"Irene, what's wrong with you?" Della was dragged down, and Eileen's grip made her feel painful, but what Della felt more deeply was that Irene was as cold as ice, "Irene, you are like this outside How long have you been running? You're as cold as ice."

Irene just shook her head, slipped to the ground, choked up and said, "Della, Severus... Severus is missing... Please, please help me..."

Her pride, at this moment, all turned into ashes.

Della's heart was suddenly blocked, she had never seen such a distressed Irene, which made her feel sad, and also had to worry about the missing Severus.Supporting Irene, Della's eyes were red, and she said as calmly as possible: "Irene, can you go in with me first? Let's sit and talk. I will help you."

Irene grabbed Della and nodded with all her strength.She repeated her request, confused and frantic.After confirming that she really couldn't find Severus, Irene's spirit also reached its limit.

Della was dragged almost to the point of falling, and with her strength, she couldn't lift Irene up, even though Irene was as thin as a paper man now.Thanks to Merlin, there is still magic in this world, otherwise Della really doesn't know what she should do.

The burning fireplace warmed the whole room, and Irene's face finally became less scary.Being embraced by Della, Irene, who gradually calmed down, finally stopped trembling and raving nervously.Under Della's reassurance, Irene gradually spoke out.

After experiencing Tobia Snape's domestic violence, she also faced Severus' magical violence, which caused her to suffer a lot.When she woke up, she only found a bottle of potion beside her, and the house was full of mess, but there was no sign of Severus.

The potion was just right for her symptoms, and Irene drank it directly after making sure there was no problem.The potion did work faster than ordinary people's medicine, but in just a split second, she was able to move freely.Being able to move, she first went to the small shop on the street to borrow the phone, asked her current boss for a day off, and then looked for Severus.

After the magic riot, Severus certainly couldn't go by himself, so he must have been taken away.In order to find Severus, Irene picked up her wand and used the Appearance Charm, but she only saw a tall figure suddenly appear, calming the violent fluctuation of magic power, and took Severus away suddenly.This is something only wizards can do.

Irene tried her best to find Severus, even wrote to her parents whom she had long since severed, but she found nothing.She hasn't been back to the wizarding world for a long time, and she doesn't even know how to find it, so she can only ask Della.

The more time passed, the more Irene panicked, she was afraid that whoever took Severus would hurt him.

"It'll be fine, Irene, we'll find Severus." Della could only comfort Irene first, and then she called her husband.Connor is an Auror, and his help is justified in a missing wizard kid.

……

Outside the window, a dark group of people came out of the gate one after another from the path.There was a deep forest outside the door, and Severus had no way of knowing where they had gone.

The natural light is getting dimmer, the night is low, oppressive and urgent.

But for Severus, it didn't matter.Severus had been in the room all day, and since the man and the snake had gone, he hadn't spoken to him - and no creature could have spoken to him.

So this day, it seemed extraordinarily quiet, and it made him restless.

He wanted to see how Irene was doing for himself, but he didn't know where he was, and he couldn't even leave the room.

Severus had tried it a long time ago, his range of activities was only in this room, and he couldn't even open the door or open a window.

The man wouldn't let him go.

Severus knew he couldn't be kind, and he couldn't get home until he paid the price.

But he has nothing worthy of that person's plan, and he really has something worthy of the other party's thoughts, so why does that person leave him here.

If it wasn't for the food that would automatically appear on the bedside table, Severus even thought the man would have forgotten his existence.

Food appeared silently again, the rich and warm smell of tomato goulash, stirring Severus' hunger.

Here, the food he has seen is the best in years, and the furnishings in the room are also the best he has seen. Even before moving to Spider's End, their house can't compare.

Severus refused to eat, sat on the edge of the bed, and silently recited the content of the text he had memorized before going home.

As soon as Waldmont opened the door, he saw Severus' eyes staring with hunger, and thought of the news that the house elf would inform him when he left: the child ate lunch and dinner except breakfast because of his presence. Neither moved.

"The magic riot didn't allow you to commit suicide, and now you want to starve yourself to death? I thought you knew how to assess the situation."

Waldmont's voice is too special, low and hoarse with an inexplicable hiss, revealing a chill.

"I didn't intend to kill myself." Severus frowned, "I just don't have an appetite."

"Have an appetite now?" Wardmont tapped his fingers on the food that had gone cold, and Severus saw the plate steaming again.

"…No." Severus replied.

Wardmont's momentum pressed on Severus: "You want me to coax you to eat?"

Severus breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard Waldmont's words, he blushed again: "You, who wants you to coax? What am I living here? Eat yours and use yours...I don't Charity is needed."

He knew very well that this person was not giving him alms, but it was even more strange because of this.

"Alms?" Wardmont restrained his momentum, staring at Severus, "Isn't it safe to live here? Isn't it much better than your home? The food is not good enough? The clothes are not comfortable enough?"

Severus felt that Wardmont looked at him strangely, which made him more uncomfortable: "It's really good here, but you don't need me, and I don't belong here. Besides, if you can't find me, mother will be anxious... ..."

It was actually he who wanted to know about Irene, saying that Irene was worried about him, and that Severus wasn't that confident.

He could be anywhere, but what Wardmont gave him was something he both wanted to grab and fear.The best option is to stay far away...

Waldmont could hear the lack of confidence in Severus' words, but he only thought about what Severus said "you don't need me".Should it be said that this cub is sensitive?But the value of collectibles is different from general needs, unfortunately he doesn't understand.

"Skipping food just because of this? What an idiot."

Severus was scolded, but he just kept silent, but it could be seen from his eyes that he was not angry.

"Feeling angry? Feeling unwilling?" Wardmont pinched Severus' chin with his fingers, and when he got closer, he saw that Severus' eyes were pure black. It's like being sprinkled with a handful of stars, the flickering light is more alive; when there is a dead silence, those eyes are like a deep pool.

"But you can't resist.

"Whether it's me or your father. No matter what happens, you can't stop it. No matter what you think in your heart, you can't realize it.

"Low into the dust, no one cares..."

With every word, Wardmont touched Severus where it hurt.Seeing that Severus couldn't help looking away, Wardmont let go of his hand, Shi Shi stood up straight, "What do you think is the reason? You are a wizard, you have power, not restrain yourself, suppress yourself. If you You are stronger than your father, you are stronger than me, and you are still in this situation?"

"Then why did you save me? And brought me to your house?" Severus was driven to the extreme, for the first time he was not afraid of Waldmont, but grabbed Waldmont's arm .

"You pick up a person who has no strength, just to show your kindness?"

"Mercy?" Waldmont seemed to hear some joke, and the tone of a word could change several times. "You actually look down on yourself so much?"

"What?" Why did you look down on yourself?

Severus didn't understand at all.

"You want to repay your life debt, but with your current ability, you can't pay it at all. You want to leave again, are you going back on your word?" Waldmont didn't explain, but continued to confuse Severus.

Severus retorted, "I won't…"

"Being by my side, you can gain power, you can also gain status, do things for me, and repay - kindness - isn't it fair?" Wardmont interrupted Severus, giving Severus a reason to stay .

Severus's mind was in a mess, he felt that what Waldmont said was right, but something was not quite right.But for a while, he couldn't think of anything wrong, he could only feel distressed.

"So your decision?" Wardmont wouldn't give Severus time to figure it out, he wanted Severus to commit now.For a kid like Severus, Waldmont knew exactly how to induce it.

"I..." Severus felt a cold grip on his hand, and the hand he was holding on Waldmont's arm was held by Waldmont.

"Tell me, your decision. Do you want to sink yourself, or follow me and get the status you deserve." Wodmont asked again.

Severus' heart was beating fast, and he was very close to Waldmont at the moment, and those red eyes caught something in him that almost burst out.

"...I," Severus felt that Waldmont's hand seemed to be loosened at any moment, he was suddenly anxious, and took the initiative to hold Waldmont's hand, "I am willing!"

Gaining strength, gaining status, and repaying the kindness, if you just stay by his side, why would you not want to?

Waldmont finally got the answer he wanted, and handed the still warm dinner to Severus: "Now, can we eat?"

Severus took it, and began to eat sheepishly.

"Tomorrow, I will take you to meet your mother." Waldmont didn't mind giving the cub a little sweetness at this time.

Hearing that Severus was completely relieved, he even showed his first smile to Wardmont.It's so soft that Wardmont wants to squeeze it.
