HP Paranoia and Antisocial

Spinner's End hasn't changed.

It is in a dark corner of the city, not far away there is a big chimney emitting black smoke, a river flows through here, it becomes more and more filthy, and even emits an unpleasant stench...

Many of the houses stacked in the lanes are broken wooden houses built randomly.They are stacked together, crumbling in the wind.

Severus squeezed Wardmont's hand tightly and stepped on the road to number 19.

After falling snow, the ground was cold and dirty, but the biting coldness of the water formed by the falling snow covered up the usual stuffy smell.

Severus' eyes were fixed on the ground, and the familiar scenes around him that were engraved in his bones didn't make him take a second look.

What happened to Eileen?

The soles of the shoes were worn on the wet | sticky ground, and every time he took a step towards the familiar address, Severus felt more uneasy.

Without him, would Tobia be willing to live a good life with Irene?

In these days, would Irene miss him as much as he missed her?

Wardmont's eyes followed Severus, and he could see that Severus was nervous at the moment.But he didn't speak, Severus had made a choice, and it was his responsibility.

He didn't allow Severus to come to see Irene before, but that didn't mean that Waldmont really didn't care about Irene.

Irene did not contact Severus, nor did she contact the Princes, let alone reply to them. One was that she did not want to meet the Princes again just like this. There were too many misunderstandings and heartbreaks between them. It is Irene who must abide by the agreement with him.

If Waldmont didn't allow it, even if Irene missed Severus to the point of madness, she could only grit her teeth and endure it.

This is the price.

Waldmont couldn't explain why he was suddenly willing to grant Severus' little wish, allowing him to be reunited with Irene.But just think of it as one of his Christmas presents to Severus.

Just as Severus didn't want to make things tough between them, Wardmont didn't want them to break up on the first day Severus came home.

Although if that was the case, Severus would eventually compromise.But Waldmont doesn't mind granting his disciple's little wish once in a while.

"Teacher..." Severus stood at the door of the house, hesitating.

"Go."

Wardmont patted Severus on the shoulder and let him go.

Severus took a deep breath, walked softly to the door, raised his hand and knocked on the door panel.

The doorbell that broke a long time ago has not been replaced.The door is locked again, and I don't know if there is anyone...

After waiting for a while and no one came to open the door, Severus knocked hard again a few times.

"Who?! It's annoying early in the morning!"

— Tobias Snape!

Severus retreated bewilderedly to Wardmont, who was not prepared to face Tobias Snape.

Wardmont stood in front of Severus not minding.Tobias cursed and opened the door, and what he saw was Waldmont's overly good-looking face.

"Who are you?" Tobia didn't know that his family could still know such a decent person.

"Where's Irene?" Waldmont knew very well that Irene didn't go to work today.

When Tobia heard Irene's name, his face twisted.He looked Wardmont over and over again, his eyes were strange and dirty.Grinning, Tobia showed his yellow teeth and said, "You are her new concubine, right? Do you know what kind of monster she is? You—ah!"

Wardmont didn't use his wand, but a silent, small needle sting was enough for Tobias to suffer.

"answer my question."

Wardmont had no patience for such Muggles.

Tobias rolled and wailed on the ground, and finally said what Irene said after being driven out by him for a long time.He said in a foul language that Irene was a stinky cousin who sold her son for money...

Wardmont had blocked Severus' hearing when Tobias was swearing and going out, preventing him from hearing the swear words.

Leaving Tobia with a Sting Curse that lasted for half an hour, Wardmont led Severus directly out of Spider's End.

All the while Tobias didn't know that Severus was right behind Wardmont, and Severus didn't know what Tobias had scolded Irene.

"She's not home?" Severus followed blankly out of the alley.

He'd seen what had just happened, and even if he couldn't hear what Tobia said later, Severus was sure he had said something bad.Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen to the ground so painfully... Waldmont always shot without hesitation, but he always had his reasons.

"I'll show you to her." Wardmont used the spell, and with the help of Severus beside him, used the magic of blood to point out where Irene was at this time.

The delay in the news of Irene's whereabouts must be a mistake caused by the slack of the Death Eaters.

For someone like Irene, even if she is not allowed to meet Severus, at least he must know Irene's exact movements.However, he only had news about Irene's work, which led him to take Severus for a wasted trip.

Things that shouldn't have happened just happened like this, and those who were in charge of scouting and guarding information among the Death Eaters were really too slack.

Severus trusts what Waldmont says, and lets him act as Waldmont leads him.Although the two took a detour, Wardmont took Severus to find Irene before lunch.

She lived in the company's dormitory, and she didn't leave even during the Christmas holiday.

When Severus saw Irene, she was lying on the window, watching the passers-by.

The eyes of the two accidentally met.

Tears welled up in Erin's eyes before she realized it.

"Severus—it's Severus!" Irene said Severus' name over and over again, turned her head and rushed out of the dormitory, and ran towards Severus.

Right in front of Wardmont, Severus was hugged tightly by Irene.The lost and recovered treasure made Irene unwilling to let go.

Her Severus, her son, her dearest...
