HP Paranoia and Antisocial

After tidying up his personal laboratory, Severus put all the materials he had sorted out in a convenient place, waiting for Dumbledore's arrival.

Dumbledore's late reply to yesterday's letter almost made Severus think that Dumbledore didn't want to be involved in the project.However, Dumbledore agreed to the letter he received.His reply was so succinctly expressing his intentions that Severus couldn't tell if Dumbledore had guessed something or not.

Dumbledore rarely comes to the Potions Studio. After all, the first official project of the Potions Studio is actually the "Same-Sex Fertility Potion". In this regard, Dumbledore really can't give any advice, that is, Piaget I found this project very interesting, and I often corresponded with Severus by letter, and even went to the studio to see how the experiment was carried out after the teaching work was completed.

Severus carefully sorted out his research conjectures and plans, and waited for Dumbledore to show him when he came.

Dumbledore should also bring his research materials on the "Blood Curse"...

Even if Dumbledore hadn't explicitly said that he had done research in this area, Severus had such an intuition.

And his instincts are often true.

When Dumbledore came alone, most of the young people in the potions workshop recognized who the old man was.The vast majority of wizards in Britain studied at Hogwarts, and most of them were students during Dumbledore's tenure. How could they not know their headmaster?

And even if you really didn't go to Hogwarts, you can still know Dumbledore's name.After all, Dumbledore's title of the greatest white wizard of this century is still there, and his achievements are indelible.

Feeling the active working atmosphere in the Potions Workshop, Dumbledore was also a little surprised.He had thought that it would be especially strict under a leader like Severus - Severus was too demanding of himself - but he didn't expect that there were no special rules here, whether it was research or rest, The atmosphere is quite relaxed.Even if there was a disagreement on the discussion issue, although the voices of the debate were loud, they did not get angry.

Quite an academic atmosphere.

The University of Wizardry that Dumbledore envisioned should also be like this. Everyone is working hard to learn more difficult knowledge and work hard for the future of the wizarding world.Even if there are occasional differences, it is a harmonious discussion, and there will be no bloodshed or war for this.

If the atmosphere has always been like this, the wizarding world will definitely be better.

"Consultant Dumbledore, Director Snape is waiting for you in the laboratory. I'll take you there." Knowing that Dumbledore had come to the studio, the person in charge of the studio's reception appeared immediately.

Dumbledore followed him and arrived at Severus' laboratory unhindered.

"Albus, thank you for your hard work." Severus greeted Dumbledore, and the host retreated.

Passing the things he had prepared to Dumbledore without any nonsense, Severus said: "You can take a look, here are his past research records I got from Wardmont, and my own recent research records." Some basic data obtained... Besides, I also have a preliminary direction for cracking the Blood Demon Curse, after you read it, you can tell me about the loopholes and areas that can be improved."

Severus said the name "Wadmont" almost undisguisedly, without the awe that people usually refer to him.Dumbledore could easily tell from Severus' familiar tone that Severus and Waldmont had a very close relationship.

Dumbledore took out from his pocket the research records he had prepared earlier in the morning to crack the "Blood Curse", as well as quite a lot of reference books and materials.

"Severus, why do you want to start a new research project so soon? Or something as unpopular as the Blood Curse."

"I hope Nagini can return to her original form." Severus knew what Dumbledore wanted to ask and replied slyly.

Of course Dumbledore knew that Severus was avoiding the important things: "You have prepared in detail, it doesn't seem like you wrote it in just a few days."

The data cannot be released within two or three days. These are too detailed, and not just for one year.If Waldmont himself paid attention to Nagini's changes, he would also intentionally record some data about Nagini, but in the information Severus gave him, the data about Nagini in recent years is not Not exactly Wardmont's style.

He is too familiar with Tom's style of doing things, even if he was not the one who taught Tom the potion, but Slughorn, but Slughorn, who is still missing at the moment, has shown him too much in the past by showing off. Much of Tom's work.Dumbledore knew exactly what method and style Tom would use to record.And in this pile of materials, Dumbledore could see that the early records were indeed written by Tom, while the records in recent years to the last few days seemed to be written by Severus.

Dumbledore was also familiar with Severus' style of note-taking, which wasn't quite the same as Wardmont's.

Dumbledore had a very weird guess that Severus and Waldmont didn't meet through the fertility potion project, but met long before that.Otherwise it wouldn't make sense why Severus would have started recording Nagini's data years ago.

And that was the problem, Severus hadn't had the chance to know Wardmont at all.

"I've been preparing for a long time."

Before he guessed that the protagonist of that story was Nagini, Severus was unconsciously recording data about Nagini.After all, there were not many objects around him who could do this kind of observation, and Nagini was a very special snake. If he didn't observe and record it, Severus would think that he was reckless.After learning about Nagini's situation, Severus of course had to work harder to record the data about Nagini.Any slight change may be the key to breaking the blood curse.

"Severus..." Dumbledore stared at his favorite student through the lens, his blue eyes failed to see through each other for once, "When did you know Tom—I mean, Wolverine?" Demont?" Maybe he never saw through anyone, either.

He is not a person who likes to probe into other people's privacy, but Dumbledore is always cautious when facing Waldmont.And Severus was his old friend's child, and he had a good relationship with Severus.Dumbledore didn't want Severus to be used and possibly hurt for it.

He knew Tom too well, and Tom was always unscrupulous in order to achieve his own goals.And he is so reckless that he often hurts those around him.He has improved in recent years, but it doesn't mean that he is really a good person.

The environment in which Severus lived was quite simple. Although he was smart and suffered a lot when he was a child, he could clearly see the situation behind many phenomena that his peers could not see through, but it was indeed quite difficult to face someone like Tom. Not enough.

He never thought that he could hide it from Dumbledore, and Severus stopped playing tricks in front of Dumbledore: "I knew him long before I went to school."

"It's Maurice?" Dumbledore had doubts about "Maurice" a long time ago, but he didn't encounter any difficulties in tracing Morris's identity. The identity information was guaranteed, and it didn't seem to be forged.But when he saw Morris for the first time, he had a strange sense of familiarity with Morris, and his eyes were too similar to Tom.

Severus nodded.

Dumbledore took a deep breath and finally understood everything.

"I never thought that Tang—Woldmont would be willing to adopt a child. He also educated you very well." Dumbledore didn't see much shadow of Waldmont from Severus, Severus had grown into a fine young man.If it wasn't for Severus who took the initiative to present the flaw, Dumbledore would never have imagined that Tom would be able to raise the child so normally.

Severus thought of the Wardmont he first met, and thought of the changes in Wardmont over the years, and said naturally: "Anyone can change."

"Yes, people change." Dumbledore sighed.

In the past, he was wary of Tom, not only because he saw the shadow of Grindelwald from Tom, but also because of the indifference shown by Tom himself, the indifference to human life, the indifference to violations, and the indifference to him. ignorance of one's own behavior.He's not a normal kid, he just falls in the dark.After arriving at Hogwarts, Dumbledore couldn't like Tom, even if he could please other people, Dumbledore couldn't do it.

He has been paying attention to Tom, and besides his natural appearance and talent of parsimony, the lovable things he has shown are more imitations--that is not a poor imitation, if Dumbledore hadn't been He couldn't feel his sincerity, maybe he also thought that Tom would really be good because of Hogwarts.

But Tom has really changed in recent years.Tom's feelings when facing those who should be sympathetic are no longer a poor imitation, and Dumbledore can feel the sincerity from him.

He is no longer cruel, and the darkness is no longer lingering on his body. He has played some tricks and won the love of most people again. Even Dumbledore, who knows everything about him in the past, believes that he has really changed, and Willing to support him when the time is right.

"I'll help you." Dumbledore closed the file, didn't ask how Severus and Tom got along, and didn't ask why Tom became what he is now... He chose to believe Severus , also believe in today's Wardmont.

Breaking the Blood Curse is not only helping Severus fulfill his wish, but also making up for his past.

The author has something to say:

Regarding the relationship between Dumbledore and Nagini, since the follow-up of Fantastic Beasts has not been released, everything here is speculation.

According to the content of Fantastic Beasts 1 and 2, Credence, the man next to Nagini, should be Dumbledore's younger brother, and there is a relationship between them.And I speculate that Credence should die in the follow-up plot, and Nagini's whereabouts combined with hp to see that she met lv.I think it is possible that Nagini met LV when Dumbledore arrived at Hogwarts.But it does not rule out that Nagini met LV by accident.

Although I still haven't written the plot that should be on Qixi Festival, but the emmm happy and exciting plot will come later, right?
