HP Paranoia and Antisocial

Wardmont himself did not expect Morris to retain his identity for so many years.

Originally, it was just used to fool people, but he didn't expect that he would keep this identity in the process of interacting with the Princes and his wife.He has always thought about abandoning this false identity, but he has not thought about how to confess.

Perhaps subconsciously, he also worried that if his identity was exposed, would the Princes still treat him as before?

Severus' worry was not unreasonable, Dumbledore, that old fox, any small detail was a magnified weakness in front of him.If caught by him a little bit, he will be able to see through the disguise by following the clues, and it is difficult to deceive him.

A fake is a fake, and it is impossible to deceive others for a lifetime.What's more, Wardmont never thought of using Morris's identity to deceive the Princes and his wife for a lifetime.Anyway, he was going to be exposed to Dumbledore, so why not create an opportunity to confess at the same time.

"Tell Dumbledore about your project." Wardmont had already figured out how to tell the Princes.

The old Prince hasn't really retired yet—most of the positions in the Ministry of Magic and the seats in the Wizengamot are almost tenured for life, and Waldmont is also thinking about how to solve the serious problem of the aging upper structure of the wizarding world— There is always a chance.

Prince Sr. knew Morris very well, and Wardmont didn't have much contact with him.Old Prince's position meant that he could not always work with Wardmont.But Wardmont planned to move Prince Sr. to a more relaxed location, closer to his office.Under his design, the old Prince can easily find the similarities between Wodemont and Morris, and then doubt whether there is a relationship between "Morris" and "Wodemont".

As long as he asked "Morris" to meet Old Prince again, and Old Prince asked casually, he would admit it directly, and it would be much easier to confess.

Both active notification and passive discovery have their own advantages and disadvantages. It just so happens that with Old Prince's personality, this method is the most acceptable to him.

Now that Waldmont has said so, Severus knows that he must have a way to deal with it, and he is no longer worried that the identity of "Maurice" will disrupt Waldmont's rhythm if he is found out.

Severus sent the letter he had written earlier in the morning to Dumbledore in front of Wardmont.

Looking at the direction in which the owl was going away, Waldmont was a little distracted.

Waldmont never thought that one day he would really not care about Dumbledore. Once upon a time, he regarded Dumbledore as his lifelong enemy, but now Dumbledore even knew his disguised identity. Probably don't care anymore.It's as if he and Dumbledore are really on good terms.

Severus and Waldmont looked in the same direction, and suddenly asked: "About the story about Nagini, is Dumbledore involved in it?"

A long time ago, Wardmont hugged him and told him a "fairy tale" adapted from Nagini's life experience. There were some plausible plots in it, which made him unable to guess who those people were.The only thing that is certain is that Nagini was born cursed, she will change from a witch to a snake, and even gradually lose herself.

"Yes." Waldmont no longer concealed it, "The boy who wanted to rescue Nagini had something to do with Dumbledore. And it was Grindelwald who seduced Nagini and that boy."

Severus was even more surprised to hear that this incident was not only related to Dumbledore, but even Grindelwald: "They were in that war..."

"Otherwise, why do you think I met Nagini at Hogwarts?" In fact, Nagini was brought to Hogwarts by Dumbledore.

"Then Dumbledore studied the Blood Curse on Nagini a long time ago?" Severus really didn't expect this to happen. Who knew that a snake would be related to these top figures? , and even participated in the tragic wizard world war.

"I don't know about that." Wardmont had never paid attention to the relationship between Nagini and Dumbledore. "If you are curious, you can ask Dumbledore directly."

He was well aware of how obedient Severus had been to Dumbledore.The relationship between the old guy Dumbledore and Severus is really good, so good that Wardmont is a little jealous.

After all, when it comes to Severus, everyone will say that it is Dumbledore who has been kind to him.Severus' academic guide was Dumbledore - just for that first-year dragon's blood research paper.

When his identity as Morris is announced, and his relationship with Severus is made public, whoever is the person who influences Severus the most will feel a little bit upset.

Although Waldmont didn't give a clear answer, Severus always felt that Dumbledore had studied the Blood Curse on Nagini.

And his feeling was indeed right. His letter pointed out that he wanted to study the "Blood Curse", and it was aimed at the snake next to Wardmont, which reminded Dumbledore of those past events.

The duel with Grindelwald, the blood and tears brought about by that war, more and more regrets and estrangement... He was unwilling to face it at first, so he pushed Newt to help him, which angered Grindelwald instead.

How could Dumbledore forget that boy, and Nagini?

"I didn't expect that Severus would study the Blood Curse."

Dumbledore stared at the letter on the table, and stood up somewhat distraught.He hadn't felt so anxious for a long time, but he didn't expect that when he saw the name of an old friend, those pasts would come up one by one, and it would affect his state of mind in this way.

Time can smooth everything out, but some things are difficult to transfer after going through vicissitudes. Even if all the parties involved pass away, these pasts are like sharp thorns in everyone's heart.

Aberforth couldn't let it go, and he couldn't... Grindelwald...

Dumbledore knew that Severus had been busy with the "same-sex fertility potion" ordered by the Ministry of Magic recently, and that research would not produce results in just one year.The birth of each new potion requires at least ten years as a cycle, even if it is put into clinical trials, it will take more than ten years, so it will take nearly 20 years of research.And this project was just on the right track, and there was no reason for Severus to be so eager to start a new project.

Or about the "Blood Curse" research.

Is it Tom's request to Severus?

Dumbledore couldn't believe it, Tom really cared about Nagini so much, and he couldn't wait to...

Recalling the words and phrases in Severus' letter, Dumbledore felt something was wrong again.

This is Severus' request. He rarely says anything in his own name. Work is work. If Tom really placed the order, then Severus will also write a letter to seek it in a business-like manner. help.But in the letter Severus emphasized that it was his personal project and he wanted to study it himself.

This is so unusual.

Dumbledore stood up and walked up and down in front of the unburned fireplace.

Fox tilted his head to look at Dumbledore, not understanding why Dumbledore was convulsed again, why he suddenly fell into deep thought, and walked back and forth muttering words.

Fox let out a soft cry, but Dumbledore seemed to have been struck by lightning, and suddenly remembered a strange thing - Severus said he was going to Greece on a half-month vacation some time ago, and the magic of Wardmont The minister also took a half-month vacation suddenly, and I heard that he also went to Greece—they went on a trip together?

After a short trip to Greece, Severus was going to do research on the Blood Curse when he came back.This is definitely not a coincidence.

So Waldmont hooked up with Severus through the same-sex fertility potion?And then privately asked Severus to start research on the "Blood Curse"?But if the Blood Curse was to be mentioned, then Waldmont would have to confess something about the past to Severus.These things are what Tom has always tried his best to cover up. He doesn't want others to know his identity.

This is not normal!

The author has something to say:

Dumbledore: Tom, there is something wrong with you!

Wardmont: ? ? ?

Dumbledore: What have you been traveling with Severus for?

WADERMONT (trying to do something, but getting nothing done): What does it matter to you what we did?

Dumbledore (shocked): You admitted it! ?

Waldmont: Admit... (what)

Dumbledore: I'm sorry Duke and Shanna (QAQ) I promised to help them find a suitable girl for Severus on a blind date, how can you-

Waldmont (!!): Me and Severus don't bother you, you better mind yourself.

After Waldmont left, Dumbledore ate Lemon Sherbet and frowned sourly, but he still realized Waldmont's abnormality more deeply.

Given Severus' age, Tom was enough to be his father.

How should he tell his old friend...
