[HP] Spring Mountain is Sleeping

This is the cave.

There was no one in the entire valley, and the Muggle town below the mountain was still as peaceful as before, receiving tourists coming and going.The Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic obviously did not intend to stay here for a long time.The magic level in the valley is basically normal now, just like when they left, except of course that crazy night-Tom Riddle re-entered the cave along the path that had been blurred by rain on the stone wall When he was there, he was surprised to find something that he didn't dare to imagine.

Near the entrance of the cave, in the thin and hard soil he was familiar with, several clumps of dark green leaves were trying to arch upwards, forming a miniature grassland.Tom bent down weakly and looked at the leaves. They were small in size, but bright in color and full of energy.He even saw an early, tiny golden bud peeping out from among the largest clump of leaves.

Riverdale actually grew back.

Tom stood there for a long moment, as if he had regained his magic a few days ago, trying to make sure it wasn't a dream.All the books recorded that Riverdale was extremely difficult to grow, and he had never heard of it. After being destroyed, Riverdale could grow back again—unlike the ordinary lilies in patches in the valley below.Maybe the weird combination of magical powers that day also had an effect on this plant—in this case, he might still be able to count on, through some magic, to bring Rivedale out of the cave and make it retain a certain amount of medicinal power. effect.

This is not a dream.

He didn't know what was going on with Severus, but he couldn't go directly to England to find him yet.

Had the magic power been sufficient, it would not have taken Tom Riddle several days to return to this cave.

Even if it was just a short-distance apparition, Tom felt as if he had consumed most of his magic power and needed a long rest before doing the next one.He was very fortunate that he didn't have a feverish mind to destroy the Muggle hospital that night, otherwise he would have exhausted his magic power very quickly, and was bitten by the neck by the wolfhounds guarding the outside of the yard, and went back to the 7 sievert radiation experiment ...then he would know exactly what the consequences of that experiment would be.

He still needs Rivedale now...maybe a lot of Rivedale.He needs to count on the healing power of these newborn plants.

Before lying down here, Tom made his rounds of the cave.The furniture is still there, as is the bathroom he dug.He opened chests and chest drawers, turned over upside-down cauldrons and Muggle cooking utensils, inspecting every nook and cranny.People from the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic took all the books, coins, and potions that were already in limited quantities in the cave, but nothing else seemed to decrease, including the food that was put in bags and hung up, and the food he had brought from the small town down the mountain. Muggle shampoo from here.Despite the dust, the remaining half bottle of shampoo still stood in the bathroom, the dried liquid forming a white ring around the mouth of the bottle.

The defenses of the cave have been completely dismantled, and the valley still retains natural magic—maybe these self-proclaimed saviors think that keeping some food and daily necessities can provide the necessary support for the next wizard who unfortunately strays into the valley ...a stupid idea, but it just made things easier for the Dark Lord.Tom sneered inwardly.

He made himself a meal, and lay down in Rivedale.Tom couldn't weave the leaves into a bed yet—the leaves weren't strong enough.He searched for a more comfortable position when his hand touched something on the ground.

hair.

Long, tangled black hair, much longer than his own.

Severus's hair—it was quite a lot, scattered sparsely under the Rivedale.
