HP Paranoia and Antisocial

Irene hugged Severus so tightly that Severus almost gasped.

Irene was both happy and terrified that Severus was lost and found, she really wanted to chain Severus to her body so that he would never be seen again.

"Ma'am, you're hugging a little too tightly, Severus is not comfortable." Waldmont didn't like his things being touched by others, even if Irene was Severus' mother, it would make him unhappy.

Irene was taken aback by Waldmont, hugged Severus and retreated to the corner, and pointed her wand at Waldmont.

"Mom?" Seeing Irene's vigilant posture, Severus quickly broke away from Irene's arms and hugged Irene's hand, "He saved me, Mom!"

Severus didn't look back at Waldmont's expression, but he had a feeling that Waldmont was a very dangerous wizard, and maybe his attitude towards him could be called gentle, but it didn't mean that Waldmont would "love his house and his wife".

It has to be said that Severus's judgment on Wardmont was quite accurate, and his actions to stop Irene made Wardmont quite satisfied, so naturally Wardmont didn't care about Irene's faux pas.

Wardmont greeted Irene politely, introduced himself as the wizard Morris who happened to pass by Spider's End Alley, and explained that he felt the movement of a magical riot at the time, so he came to have a look, but he did not expect to see The dead little wizard took away Severus in a hurry.

The reason sounded okay, and Waldmont's manner of speaking was so sincere that even Irene couldn't fault it.

"Thank you for saving Severus," Irene thought of the bottle of potion she picked up when she woke up, "thank you for the potion too. If you want any reward, I will try my best to satisfy it."

Waldmont rejected the so-called remuneration: "I don't need you to pay any remuneration. The short time with Severus is always very pleasant. He is a good boy who is eager to learn, and he will definitely accomplish a lot in the future wizard."

Irene hesitated, "Morris" refused the payment, and Irene couldn't feel at ease.This means that if you owe a favor, Severus will be in debt for his life early, which is not a trivial matter for wizards.

Irene looked at the appearance of the young man opposite, hoping that she could see the origin of this "Morris", but regretted to find out if there was anyone similar to him in her impression.

Although the young man on the opposite side was ordinary in appearance, he sat, stood, talked and behaved like a wizard from a pure-blooded family with deep accumulation.But in the pure-blood family, black hair and black eyes seem to be the only Black family.

However, the Blacks don't have the luxury of wandering around the Muggle world, especially places like Spinner's End.They can be said to be the proudest pure-blood family, claiming to be pure forever, how can they let Muggles defile them--especially poor wizards.

"Severus and I can't let you suffer, and the medical expenses must be returned to you." Irene insisted.

Waldmont saw through Irene's thoughts and no longer refused: "Okay, but there is no need to rush to pay back the money."

Hearing that Wardmont was willing to accept, Irene's hanging heart fell.

Wardmont made an inviting gesture to Irene, as if he was the master of the house.Erin didn't notice, and sat down obediently.

When Irene wanted to pull Severus to sit beside her, Waldmont was already a step ahead of her, and pressed Severus' shoulder to sit beside him.

"Mrs. Snape, Severus should have recuperated for a while before he came back to see you, but he missed you very much. At that time, I took Severus and left without leaving any news for you. The past two days Does it make you worry?" Waldmont pretended not to see Irene's silly outstretched hand, and just exchanged greetings with Irene.

Irene always felt that there was something in Waldmont's words, but she didn't want to delve into it, and only replied from the surface of the words: "The child is gone. As a mother, of course I would feel anxious. Thank you, if you didn't save Sif Ruth, I'm afraid he's become a Squib."

Even though Severus suffered a lot because of his status as a wizard, he was still proud of his status as a little wizard. If he really became a squib, what a blow it would be?

Not to mention the loss of mana, such a mana riot could easily damage Severus' own body, and it might even kill Severus.

Erin couldn't lose Severus, she didn't want to lose anything anymore.

Waldmont didn't take credit for it, and he didn't come here to communicate with Irene, he just wanted to give Severus a reason not to resist and bring him by his side.

As long as Waldmont thinks, he can please anyone. Irene's nerves, which were still tense, relax after a few words.

There was a rapport, and Severus was less restless.Irene asked him how he was going out these two days, and Severus said yes.

Listening to the conversation between Severus and Irene, Waldmont suddenly felt a wave of magic power—there were a little more people outside the house.

Soon these people crowded in. The door of this house was not closed, and the wizards could come in without even using a spell to open the door.

Aurors - Wardmont saw a few familiar faces, but what surprised him most was that the Princes were among them.

Waldmont didn't expect that Severus' mother would be so responsible and let so many people come to "see" the child together.

"Mum, they..." Severus moved closer to Wardmont, seeing so many strangers in the room.

This move put Waldmont in a much better mood. For these people who suddenly appeared, Waldmont was a little more patient.

"They..." Irene looked at the Prince couple and the Aurors in the house, and introduced to Severus, "That's your Uncle Kona, do you remember Aunt Della? Kona Uncle is Della's husband. The other uncles and aunts are colleagues and friends of your Uncle Kona."

Severus thoughtfully, turned to Prince and his wife, "What about them?"

Kona is easy to say, but the Princes, how would she introduce them?

Erin froze for a moment.

Mrs. Prince sighed inwardly, stepped forward, and looked at Severus tenderly: "Are you Severus?"

Severus felt that Mrs. Prince was kind, and nodded in acknowledgment.

"What a lovely child." Mrs. Prince looked into Severus' eyes, her smile became softer, "You can call me Mrs. Prince."

Just as Irene was about to answer, Mrs. Prince said again, "If you want, you can also call me grandma."

Severus blinked, wondering if he had heard it wrong.And Irene was even more surprised when she heard Mrs. Prince say that.Only Old Prince, he knew his wife too well, he would have expected her to say such reconciliation words.

Waldmont really didn't expect that he would have unexpected gains here, Prince, he really didn't expect that the child he picked up randomly would have something to do with Prince.

Prince's population is not very prosperous. Once the young lady of Prince's family insisted on marrying a Muggle, so she did not hesitate to break with her parents and even chose not to be a wizard. This is big news in the wizarding world.

Wardmont had little interest in Prince. Prince's bloodline would have been considered peerless if it belonged to the two old men. After that, Prince's property would be recovered by the Ministry of Magic. It made no difference whether he wooed or not.

It was different when Severus was a young Prince.

Facing Mrs. Prince's expectant eyes, Severus called her "Mrs. Prince" in a low voice, and stopped talking, and couldn't help but get closer to Waldmont again.

Mrs. Prince felt a little disappointed, but she also knew that she couldn't force it, "Severus is back, don't disappear suddenly again in the future, don't worry your mother."

Severus nodded, but the old woman opposite looked so pitiful and lonely, which made him wonder if he had done something wrong before.

Kona was silent for a while, watching the joy of the reunion of Irene's family, it was not a problem to continue to be here after all, so he asked Irene's current situation aloud.

Irene relayed the "truth" told by "Morris" to Kona. After hearing about it, Kona didn't want to pursue it. He could only say that "Morris" was in a hurry, but his kindness caused a mother to almost die .

"Since it's not a kidnapping, it's easier to go back and close the case. At that time, you may have to summon you to make a record and put it in the file." Kona told Irene and the others, knowing that there was nothing of his own here, so he quickly took the people with him. leave.

Old Prince didn't want to stay here any longer, so he dragged his old wife to Apparate away.

Eileen looked at the place where the Princes disappeared, feeling empty in her heart.

"Mom, is she really grandma?" Severus couldn't help asking.

Erin nodded to Severus.

"Then why, that..." Severus didn't know how to address the old Prince either.

"He is your grandfather." Sitting on the sofa, Irene said hesitantly, "When I was young, I was too stubborn and separated from them."

Waldmont didn't expose Irene either, sooner or later Severus himself would know about Irene's past and he wouldn't need to be a villain.

"Is Mom reconciled with them?" Severus thought of the old Mrs. Prince's eyes, and felt sorry.Irene's words were reserved, and Severus still understood that Irene must have had conflicts with them.

Erin just shook her head upon hearing this.

"..." Severus didn't know what to say for a while.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Severus, Morris took you home early in the morning. It was hard work. I'll go and prepare some refreshments." It was neither early nor late, and Irene hadn't entertained anyone , but the basic etiquette is still understood.

"Severus, come with me." Irene called Severus.

Wardmont sat firmly on the sofa, waiting for the mother and son to prepare tea for him.

In the kitchen, Irene took out cheap tea and some biscuits, and boiled a pot of water.Taking advantage of the movement in the kitchen, Irene still asked Severus how he was at Morris's house these two days with concern.

"Maurice is very good to me, and Nagini, they all take good care of me." Severus actually thought that Maurice should not be the real name of that person, but he didn't intend to tell Irene, nor did he plan to tell Irene. Linagini is a snake, "Morris taught me a lot."

Thinking of what he met at Waldmont's house, Severus finally realized that he was a wizard. He didn't mention that he was worried about Irene there, but only contacted Waldmont and Nagini, Severus I feel that the wizarding world is what I want.

Power, status, glory.Not the life here in Spinner's End, dirty and corrupt, with no direction to see.

"He does seem to be a powerful wizard." Irene has an instinctive awe for Morris, just like she felt for her father when she was a child-maybe even more than that.

"Mom..." Severus thought of his promise to Wardmont and felt the need to tell Irene first.

"What's wrong?" Irene tried hard to make the plate look better.

Severus stared at Irene's movements and went up to help: "Mom... If I want to live with Morris in the future and learn about wizards from him, what do you think?"

Erin almost knocked over the plate with her hands: "Severus, what did you say?" She suspected that she had heard it wrong.

"I want to live with Maurice and learn about wizards from him." Severus repeated, staring at Irene carefully, carefully testing Irene's attitude.

"Severus—" Irene took a deep breath and moved away from the cooking table, "Severus, why do you want to live with Mr. Morris? I know, I know that Mr. Morris' family conditions should be very good." Well, he must be a very learned man too—but why would you think of living with him? We have a home of our own."

At the end, Erin couldn't help but get louder.

"It's not..." Severus didn't want to enjoy himself, "Mom, I'm not for..."

"There's nothing wrong with a comfortable life, isn't it, ma'am?" Wardmont appeared at the kitchen door, "forgive me for interrupting, but I just wanted to see if there was anything I could do for you. But Ms. Snape question, I think I can answer for Severus."

Severus was relieved to see Wardmont.

"Mr. Morris...you made Severus say that? You want to take Severus away?"

"Ms. Snape, your words are too exaggerated." Wardmont smiled at Irene, but in Irene's eyes, he looked like a demon.

"I didn't take anyone away, and I didn't imply that Severus wanted him to say such things. It's just a little bit of the child's studious spirit. As a parent, shouldn't you encourage him?"

Irene shook her head: "Of course there is no problem with learning knowledge, but I already have a plan. I will send Severus to a Muggle school to study first. It is impossible for Severus to live with you, he has his own home."

In the last sentence, Irene said it firmly.

"Home?" Waldmont smiled. His sarcasm was so strong that Irene felt deeply offended, but Waldmont didn't want to take too much care of Irene's emotions at this time, "If this can be called home."

With that said, Wardmont canceled the magic, and the house returned to its dilapidated state.

"Excuse me, but I would like to ask Ms. Snape, what is your definition of home? Can such a dark and windy garbage dump be called home?

"In this place, even the basic functions of a house can't be guaranteed, how dare you say this is Severus' home?"

"A family is made up of family members, and the house is just secondary. I will take care of it slowly." Irene gritted her teeth and refuted Wardmont.

"Well, a family is made up of family members, and I agree with that." Wardmont nodded seriously, "But—" he changed his tone, "As a mother, I will not comment , Severus' father, can he really be called a father?

"Ms. Snape, your husband, Mr. Snape, is violent and even hates wizards. You were almost beaten to death by him. Severus, who witnessed this scene, was also beaten by your husband. To protect himself, Severus Si almost died because of the magic riot. Can such a person be called 'father'? Can such a person be a family member?"

"Tobia will get better!" Irene didn't believe it herself, she said it without confidence.

"Oh? Then can you guarantee that Mr. Snape will not do this in the future? Can you guarantee that Severus will not die under the fist of his 'father' next time?" Wardmont said, nodding again , said another thing, "It seems that you don't intend to divorce Mr. Snape, then your 'home' is a place where you and your children may be subjected to violence at any time, it really taught me a lot. "

Erin took a step back, she looked at Wardmont, but couldn't find words to refute him.

"Not only this, but all of your family's sources of funds come from your odd jobs. Oh, you have a new job recently, but you just started, and the salary is not much, right? How can you guarantee that Severus Educational resources? Muggle schools, can you find any good places? You can't afford private schools, and the quality of students in public schools is even more uneven. This is the educational resources you want to provide to Severus?

"A child needs a good environment to grow up. The best environment for a little wizard to grow up is in the wizarding world. Places like Spider's End and public schools for Muggles are simply a waste of Severus' talent."

Waldmont was still proud of what he said, but Irene was already pale and was speechless by what he said.

Severus tugged on Waldmont's sleeve, and Waldmont spoke quickly, but what he said was not complicated, and he understood everything.For this reason, he could feel Waldmont's determination to bring him by his side, but he could also understand how hurt these words were to Irene.

Severus wished Wardmont would be gentle and not push Irene too much.Erin has done the best she can.

Wardmont stopped, went to turn off the stove, and made a pot of cheap tea with graceful movements.

Irene stared at Waldmont with complicated eyes, and she asked incomprehensibly: "It seems that you really want to take Severus away, and want Severus to live with you...but why? We can't give you anything You, you don't know Severus well either, you don't seem like someone with a lot of kindness."

When Irene faced Wardmont, she deeply realized her own weakness and incompetence.No matter how high-sounding the man who called himself "Maurice" said, it could not conceal his purpose of taking Severus away.

"Severus is a little wizard, shouldn't he be exposed to the world of wizards? I am willing to provide him with this resource. He is really a lovely child, and there is a lack of such a person around me.

"So, why not?" Waldmont didn't answer Irene directly, does he need any reason for a collection?As long as he wants it, he should have it.

"I can't trust you." Irene pulled Severus and pointed her wand at Waldmont again. Even if she knew that she was absolutely no match for the person in front of her, Irene would not give up her child.

"Ma'am, it's impolite to point a wand at someone like this." Waldmont always had the idea of ​​killing someone who pointed his wand at him.

"...I can't trust you." Facing Waldmont's killing intent, Irene struggled to hold on.

The turbulent magic power of the person on the opposite side brought her too much pressure, and she could tell the gap in strength between them without looking.

Irene knew that if she didn't agree to let Severus leave with him, she would die.And when she died, Severus would be taken away as well.However, she had already done a lot of mistakes, and letting Severus leave with this man who had exposed his darkness would only lead to a bigger mistake.

But she couldn't resist, and she didn't have the right to refuse.Irene closed her eyes, shielding Severus behind her, looking at the man opposite who was bound to win, her thoughts changed sharply, thinking that she should protect Severus and protect him to the greatest extent.

It is most useless to die here like this.

A trace of blood dripped from the corner of Irene's mouth, and she spoke again: "I can't trust you yet. But if you can swear that you really want to bring Severus to live with you, and you just want to teach him about wizards, don't you I don't have any dirty thoughts...

"I can accept a teacher-student contract between you and Severus, allowing Severus to live with you and learn from you."

Irene knew she couldn't back down at this time, she knew she couldn't refuse Wardmont, but she would do everything in her power to keep Severus safe.And the bargaining chip to be able to negotiate terms with him was his concern for Severus.

Although it was a situation that Irene couldn't understand, and why this person was so obsessed with Severus, this was her only bargaining chip.

Wardmont was right, she really couldn't do what she wanted with Severus, after such a terrible thing happened, Irene was really worried that Tobia would kill Severus, she didn't want to see such a tragedy staged.

Severus was her child, and of course she wished him well.No matter how good it is, it was given by her or someone else.

Facing her parents again, Irene deeply understood her incompetence.Severus couldn't do with a mother like her.Even if there was no "Maurice", Irene also thought that if she could take this opportunity to reconcile with the Princes, she would also bring Severus to them and ask them to help educate them.

The difference in magic power was too great, and Irene even felt the urge to run away from her wand at this time.But she couldn't back down, otherwise she had a premonition that if Severus was taken away by Morris like this, she would never see her child again.

At this time, Irene couldn't help thinking, what would happen if Kona and the others hadn't left.But at that time, Morris hadn't changed his face, and they were all deceived by his gentleness and courtesy.

But Irene also understood that even if they were all there, they might not be able to defeat Morris in the end.His strength made her fearful.

Severus still doesn't understand why Irene's mood changes so much, but he understands the danger of Wardmont, and wants to get out of Irene's protection and protect Irene in turn.

The actions of the mother and son made Wardmont very irritable: "Severus, come here."

"Impossible." Irene blocked Severus almost as if she was dying.

At this moment, Waldmont really wanted to pull out his wand and kill Irene, but seeing Severus desperately shaking his head at him, the pleading and pain in those black eyes were about to overflow, he finally restrained his anger .

"Swear? Teacher-student contract? Very good."

Wardmont's rage hadn't taken his sanity yet, he should have given up on Severus, but he just didn't want to.The more Irene was like this, the more he refused to let Severus go like this.

Erin still got what she wanted, the "Morris" oath, and the pure teacher-student contract.

But that day, Severus didn't even eat lunch, and was taken away by Wardmont.I don't know when we will meet again next time.

The author has something to say:

This episode is finally over!

According to my previous style of 2000-word chapters, this chapter is 6000-words, which is the third watch!

I really didn't do it on purpose, one was busy, the other was the plot card, and the other was to get through the plot directly, so I held back a big chapter in one breath.

I hope the little angels have a good time eating!
