[HP] Spring Mountain is Sleeping

"Now, you go back to your own bedroom, wash yourself, and go to the library to finish your dissertation on snake teeth and porcupine quills. You must give it to me tonight before you go to bed."

Tom stood up from the remotest corner of the garden and gave Paddy instructions.

Seeing his son put away his wand and walk back to the castle with great relief, he simply turned into a snake again, hid his tail in the bushes, spit out the letter and touched it on the ground.

This is really tiring.

Being summoned all night by my own son practicing oolong out of the hole may not feel very good, but fortunately no one else is hiding in this corner to watch.

At night, the guests gathered around the castle. At this time, some people might be ready to go to bed, but the whole castle still looked brightly lit, and he could see figures swaying on the windows from here.

Of course, Paddy didn't want to sleep until he finished his dissertation, the kid's studies must be strengthened - Tom never thought there was anything wrong with holding his son to the standards of a Death Eater.Thinking about the scene where he and Severus were called up by the healer in the middle of the night to make potions, what's the point of staying up late to write a thesis?

Thinking to himself, Tom slowly crawled out of the bushes and swam back to the castle along the flagstone path.

There were still people swimming at night in the garden, and there was a lot of noise from the direction of the swimming pool.Carefully dodging them, he slid along the wall and through a skylight into the castle room.

It's the kitchen.

The kitchen was quiet and safe at the moment, because the dining room was closed and the house-elves were off work, and no one would come here to see him.Tom transformed himself back, pulled a chair at random and sat down, intending to take a rest and go up to supervise Paddy later.

He glanced around and saw a bag of green beans on the table next to him, as well as some mixed vegetables such as corn kernels and carrot cubes.

Tom, who rarely goes into the kitchen, suddenly remembered something. These seemed to be ingredients that could be turned into a supper?

Just do it.With a flick of his wand, a fire was lit on the stove, and a pot full of water flew onto the stove, and Tom began to pick up the ingredients and put them in the water.

In this lively summer, why do I suddenly think of those silent springs ten years ago?Those lonely times they spent together in the cave—could it be because the dust had settled now?

"soften……"

Tom said it only twice, restrained, not daring to use too many softening spells.

How nice it would be to add a love potion to the green bean porridge, although it is no longer necessary, Tom thought as he stirred, and now he could only put some salt and pepper in it normally, and he began to rummage through the strange-looking seasonings. jar.

It looks a little better than what was made in the cave back then... Tom squinted his eyes in narcissism, then picked up the pot, turned out and walked to the refining room.

It would be the best ending not to meet anyone on the road.As luck would have it, around the corner Tom saw Quentin and Pomona coming out of the basement, going upstairs.They said goodbye on the landing of the stairs, and agreed to go to the valley outside to investigate tomorrow. Then Pomona turned and went to her room, and Quentin would continue to go upstairs and return to the portrait.

Tom huddled hurriedly in the corner, waiting for the sound of their footsteps to die away.

The former Dark Lord is still hiding in his own home?The realization made Tom feel disheartened - but he looked down at the pot in his hand, and decided that it was best not to be known, and he turned his head by the way to see if there was anyone behind him.

Tomorrow it would be bad - no, it would be bad - to have Harry Potter openly complain about the terrible Dark Lord's food in Nurmengard tomorrow.

"Oh, Severus, you must be hungry, come, eat these."

"Tom? What stupid thing did you do again?" Severus, who had just cleaned up the workbench, saw Tom walking in with a pot, and was immediately stunned.

"I've got a paper for Paddy, and he's working on it in the library. He's going to need some energy for the night, and so are you."

"Oh. Did you make Paddy's supper?" Severus was full of surprise, and then remembered the homework Tom had assigned just now, "You can take it to the library, I sincerely hope that you both have a good time tonight." Don't sleep."

"That can't be done, you have to eat. You have been busy here every day." Tom put the pot on the workbench, summoned two bowls at random, and started to serve the meal. "This castle is mostly Sustained by the potions shop. Sanitariums are cheap enough, I'll charge more for the Squibs."

"You care about a bat that is forced to make potions all the time? I'm surprised that the Dark Lord suddenly wants to cook. If you have the time, you might as well sell potions outside. You can sell a lot more with this face." Beauty Potion." Severus raised an eyebrow and looked over.

"Didn't I sell a lot, little bat? That thing is too expensive, and your reputation alone can't sell that much. Do you know how many tourists ask me for autographs?"

You're right...their potions shop is branded DarkLord, and Tom often goes in to sign sales.Anyway, Severus had been expelled from the Potions Association, and no one could control him.

"Oil cavity slip."

The green bean porridge looks pretty good today, at least it hasn't been softened into a lump of mud.Watching Tom lower his head to serve the meal, Severus's brows seemed to be covered with a faint, indescribable look.

"A little miss the days when we were in the cave?" Tom smiled, looking into the other's black eyes.

"Isn't it the same now?"

"Ten years later, it's still different. Back then we had countless possibilities, but now, everything seems to be in order."

"Are you blaming me?"

Tom waved his wand, turning the refining room into a cave, took the bowl, and brought it to Severus.

"No, my little bat. After that time, I realized that you are the most important thing in my heart, and nothing else is important."

Severus froze for a moment, looking at him intently.

"Lord…" he began slowly, "I should say I'm sorry, Lord. For 30 years… I…haven't said…"

"Don't call me that, Bat. I only use that name in the potions shop." Tom calmly pressed the steaming bowl to Severus's mouth. "Drink it."

Seeing that the other party smiled after a second of sluggishness, and reached out to take the bowl, he didn't expect Severus to start screaming as soon as he took a sip:

"Wait, Tom, what did you put in it? Albus would love it if he could eat!"

Is it sweet?Tom hurriedly took a sip too. Yes, it tasted very sweet, so sweet that it was even a little greasy.

There is no label on the seasoning jar. He took something wrong just now, and he probably put in a lot more with a shake of his hand.The smell of pepper doesn't seem quite right either... What was going through his mind just now?Have you been thinking about those simple and beautiful nights in the cave?

Oops, Severus, who hates sweets, is going to punish him for sleeping on the floor again.

Frowning, Severus barely ate the contents of his bowl, pulled out his wand, and went straight to cleaning the pot.

He can't let Tom take food to harm others.

"Okay, now, put away this illusion and go to your library. I must forbid you to cook any food for Paddy and the guests." Severus hurried to the sink to rinse his mouth, and then Went upstairs.
