[HP] Spring Mountain is Sleeping

The spring drizzle is pattering in the valley, and the fresh greenery gradually floods the entire mountain forest.

Severus went up to the top floor of the castle early in the morning.Looking out from the window here, the smoky view shrouded in the spring rain seems a bit empty.Only one or two figures walking slowly can be seen in the garden.Except for the summer vacation, Nurmengard is relatively peaceful on the whole.

Although in addition to treating patients, there have always been a lot of tourists coming for potions and curiosity, so their hotel business is also good.Tom is considering upgrading the resort hotel in the off-season, buying more house elves, and it would be even better if he could create a fantasy maze in the garden.

But Severus didn't have time to ask about the hotel today. "The portrait is exported." He pulled out his wand, and said to the portrait in the tower compartment. After 1 minute, Quentin Taylor walked out of the picture frame.

"Portrait Export" is a fantasy spell invented by Tom.Using this spell, the portrait can become a physical illusion and walk out of the frame, but it cannot use magic outside like a wizard.At present, the portrait cannot use this spell by itself, and its effect can last for two to three days.

"Oh, Severus, Nurmengard is really the right choice." Quentin looked out at the valley, looking very satisfied, "This season is exciting. Now just go around the forest, always More medicinal ingredients can be found. Are you going to release Albus? Okay, I will go to the refining room tonight to see how far the chelating potion has progressed."

"I expect Mr. Taylor to be able to find the frostweed we need today?"

"I think so. I found traces of it last time. But you'd better come to the forest before noon. The frostweed will wither after noon. Pomona has always wanted to be in Hogwarts grow it, but poor England doesn't produce it," said Quentin, and went down the stairs.

But Severus couldn't go to the forest to find his medicine yet, so he had to turn to the room at the top of the tower and open the door.

This former prison cell is now a rather Slytherin-style bedroom, cold, elegant and simple.In the center of the room was a four-poster bed, with tables and chairs against the walls.But there were no other unnecessary things in this room, no wardrobe, and no snake-shaped decorations.This room is not used as a guest room, and there are two portraits hanging side by side on the wall facing the window.

When Tom and Severus took over the castle, Tom didn't hesitate to throw Gellert's hard plank bed, along with dusty sheets and debris, directly out of this window, and the wood was later taken by Severus. Adams picked it up in the garden and planted mushrooms.

"Portrait out." Severus said, raising his wand, to the portrait of Albus Dumbledore, and Albus stepped out of the portrait and straightened his clothes.

"Let me out!" Gellert grabbed the frame and shook it vigorously, "Severus! Let me out!"

"Not today, Mr. Grindelwald." Severus put away his wand without looking up.

"Okay. I promise not to go to Al's place. If he likes to go out in the rain, he can go out and get out in the rain. I don't care how much he gets wet. I'll go to the first floor to help you make potions, so you can go to the forest without worry Picking herbs."

"That's not okay either." Severus glanced at Gellert calmly.

There are only three portraits of Nurmengard.Every year on this day, there will be this routine game-Albus will walk out of the portrait alone on this day, and go outside the castle, next to an inconspicuous tomb, and spend the whole day.And Gellert was forced to stay in the portrait—because neither Severus nor Tom would let him down that day—watching the lonely figure of his lover from the window of the tower going out to find himself who was sleeping underground, If only he could see from such a high place.

It usually rained this season, and Albus was often drenched when he came back at night, but no one cared, and the portrait didn't catch a cold or get sick anyway.

Severus looked at Gellert, who was staring at the window, and at the back of Albus, who walked out of the room.

He didn't know how to describe this feeling—those things that happened back then can be understood after thinking about it again.The abandoned and famous Nurmengard Castle was indeed a good choice for two possibly cornered wizards who were destined to leave England for good and couldn't live in a cave forever.Severus even believed that some people hadn't been completely unaware when the plan had begun, but that what had happened later had taken them by surprise, because no one thought he was taking a love potion.

Anyway, Tom and Severus refurbished the castle and converted it into a hotel, restaurant, bar, potions shop.People speak of Nurmengard now as if sanatoriums, hotels, and DarkLords had existed in the valley for decades.Later, they managed to get a portrait of Gellert to hang in this room.After being able to export the portrait, the previous Dark Lord signed a written agreement, donating Nurmengard's property rights to Severus.

McGonagall had said that Quentin and Albus rarely returned to the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts.This old bee with a sweet tooth may have had his own selfishness in mind when he decided to support his crazy plan from the very beginning.

In short, Albus no longer had to waste time worrying about whether he would be removed from the Chocolate Frog card.

"Good morning, Tom." Albus greeted Tom outside.

"Good morning. Oh, the weather today." Tom looked outside. "It's not so good this time of year, and I think the dehumidification spell needs to be doubled."

"In spring, there should be some rain. If there is no rain, these forests will not grow."

"Tom! Come here and let me down!" came the cry again from within.

"No, Mr. Devil, stop shouting, no one will let you down today. Even if you tell me that Mr. Potter broke the Elder Wand again, I will not let you down."

Yes, they threw the Resurrection Stone to Harry when they left England.In order not to let people pick up these things again, Harry had to accept the three Deathly Hallows with a sad face, and he didn't know where to hide them. Finally, he boldly put them outside, and occasionally Use it.

Oddly enough, no one has been unduly harmed by the Deathly Hallows since.The children of the Burrow and the Malfoys were exposed to them a lot, and the children sometimes even practiced spells with the Elder Wand - they were just ordinary magic items.

"Tom, you really are different."

Albus and Tom were talking over there, pulling Severus back from his thoughts.

"You may be ready to say: 'Tom Riddle finally understands what love is'? I don't want to hear you say that, anyway, you understand this stuff naturally, and you have to mention love to everyone." Tom looked He spread his hands innocently.

"No, Tom, no one is born with love." Albus's face suddenly became serious.

"Well, I didn't expect this." Tom threw a red eye, "Maybe Mr. White Devil is going to start a long speech like teaching Saint Potter?"

"No." Albus shook his head. "Tom, believe me, no one is born with an understanding of love. I must admit, I didn't understand this when you were at Hogwarts...if I knew it then "He turned around and looked at the portrait of Gellert in the room, "I'm sorry, Tom, if I knew how to love at that time, maybe things would be different later."

"..."

Tom opened his mouth in surprise.

"Oh, no, no... yes, Professor Dumbledore..." He replied incoherently after a long time, "Yes... we didn't understand it at the time. I was a fool, and so were you."

They faced each other in silence for a minute, and suddenly they both laughed together, took two steps forward at the same time, stretched out their hands, and hugged each other lightly.

"Tom/Al, don't scare people," said the other two in unison.
