CHAPTER XXXVI
Dumbledore certainly wasn't going to put Severus in danger by succeeding Prince, and that week his old bones weren't in vain. More than the Princes' secret potions and book collections, which were valued by the Falling Ground Demon, Dumbledore cared more about Severus himself. Nothing is more important than the living, especially those with an unknown future.
Regardless of whether Dumbledore's intentions for Gale and Severt were to be sold or exploited, Gale knew that Sever's inheritance of an empty manor would not be in danger. While magical families have their own secrets to preserve their family fortune and power, Voldemort wasn't a vegetarian either.
Yes, what has happened in recent months has changed Gail's address to Tom Riddle from "Duke Dark" to "Lord Voldemort" as he began to use the Diamond Curse to punish his men.
Voldemort should still have all but the living Horcruxes of Harry Potter and Nacini, and the incompleteness of his soul has begun to make it more and more difficult for him to think calmly. His temper will become more and more irritable, and his appearance will gradually change. The handsome looks that had once been inherited from the elder Tom Riddle would be gradually discarded by him, and then he would let his eyes gradually become narrower and his facial features gradually flattened, and he would get closer and closer to his imaginary ancestor with the blood of the feathered serpent.
For this, Gail recalled the handsome and elegant appearance of Tom Riddle in the school book he had seen before, and he really didn't understand what this thing thought, and he thought that people would look better with a snake face? And how could he think that having the blood of a feathered serpent is going to look like a snake? If Salazar Slytherin really looked like this, Gale felt that Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw would never have achieved their dreams with such a person!
If Salazar himself really didn't have any human appearance at all, then how did he teach at Hogwarts in the first place? Don't scare the little wizards away! So Voldemort's head must have been squeezed through the door to make his appearance this virtuous!
While Gail complained about Voldemort, he did not forget that he was not invincible in this world. Now that he has been stirred into this muddy water, then he must have the strength to win! Only in this way can the people and things you care about not be harmed and not become your weaknesses.
So when Severus was taken to Hogwarts by Dumbledore to meet his portrait ancestors, Gale also began to attack the next small realm in the High Jack Valley.
Gail was a little unhappy that the portrait of the Prince family did not directly accept Seaver as the heir, but planned to take the school examination first before making a decision: "Even picky!" Their family is dead except for you, okay! Gail couldn't help but think about it before he left.
Severus is glad that Gail is upset about him, but from another point of view, although this is also a bit of a sell-by-the-price implication, first of all, he has confidence in himself, and in addition, if the other party really directly surrenders to the family just because he is the last person in Prince's bloodline, then it is Severus himself who is disappointed.
So, the decision of the Princes portraits, Severus expressed understanding. But that doesn't stop him from enjoying Gail's maintenance of himself: "If they really don't want me, it will only be their loss." As he said this, Seaver raised his chin slightly, and there was a hint of confidence that he had not had before.
Gail agrees: "Yes! If they don't want you, that's their loss! When the time comes, you will become a world-famous Potions master, create your own Potions family, and let them slap themselves in the face! ”
Seaver went to the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts to meet the ancestral portraits of the Prince family with Gael's approval, and Gale entered the state of cultivation with enthusiasm.
Probably because he had just gone through the training of a careful demon and had the blessing of the correct mentality, Gaier broke through the cultivation that had been suppressed by the demon for nearly five months, and entered the stage of Great Perfection. As long as there is one more chance, he can get married.
The so-called knot pill means that Gail has completely converted the essence part of the magic source into the true spirit qi, which can be regarded as half a foot into the immortal level. This didn't stop Gael from using magic, but after the pill, the magic was based on the golden pill instead of the magic source - after all, the magic source had been completely transformed.
Gail, who was in a state of Dzogchen, felt that his bodily functions had reached the limit of human beings. The Divine Soul that was previously damaged by Rothdorf's thugs using soul magic has also been repaired. He tried to turn on his Divine Straf, and found that the range had expanded. This made Gail happy.
Since entering the wizarding world, Gail's cultivation has become as simple as eating and drinking, but every time he has ascended, Gale feels as if he has a better sense of the world. This feeling does not come from emotion or common sense, but from the understanding of everything in the world and the laws of nature.
During the time that Seaver and Dumbledore did not return, Gale looked up at the sky, fascinated by the blue and white colors, and gradually fell into a state of concentration.
When Severus returned, he found Gale standing in the courtyard with his head up, as if he had become a tree or a grass in the courtyard, as if he would be blown into the sky and turned into a cloud.
"Gail!" Severus interrupted Gail's slump in a loud voice. Just because he was selfish, Gail's feeling that he seemed to be going away at any time made Severus frightened.
"Seaver! You're back! What do you think? Gail came back to his senses at Seaver's call, and asked a little cautiously. Although he was sure that Severus was definitely a good seedling who could endure loneliness and was talented, who knew if the portrait would be biased because of Seaver's brainless mother?
What if the other party is interested in Seaver on the one hand, and on the other hand, he says something unpleasant because of Erin, which irritates Seaver? Many thoughts crossed Gail's mind in an instant, which is why Gail asked so cautiously.
Severus pursed his lips and nodded, "No problem." Within a week or so, my inheritance will be issued by the Ministry of Magic, but my identity is not a direct line of the Prince family, but a distant bloodline. The Headmaster arranged my lineage to be a descendant of a Prince member who had faded out of the wizarding world long ago because he was a Squib. ”
Seaver saw Gail's apprehension, and said a lot of rare words, "After fading out of the wizarding world, my ancestors have mixed into the ordinary people to live, and there has been no wizard blood for many years. As for the mother, they ......"
Gail raised an eyebrow: "Seaver, what do you think about them?" Gail knew that he was asking this question in danger of revealing the scar. But he really didn't think it was a good thing to whitewash a wound that was beginning to suppurate. Now that the wound has begun to suppurate, wouldn't it be better to uncover the blood scab and squeeze out the pus in order to avoid further deterioration?
Severus weighed over his words, and he felt that he should inform Gale of his state of mind. Gale cares more sincerely and deeply about himself than he actually has a blood family.
"I don't care anymore. I've done the best I can. "I used to think of them as the only people I could do to satisfy them, but they didn't need me. ”
Gail's eyes widened with nervousness, then he relaxed abruptly. He also thought it would take a long time for Seaver to come out of the shadow brought by this irresponsible couple. In the original book, it is because of the existence of Lili's light. But in the end, although Seaver asked Erin and Tobia to take the shadow, the ending was still tragic. Now that he says he doesn't care, is it true that his future fate will not slide into the abyss where even death is equal to salvation?
Gale relaxed, happily pulled Severus to find Doudou for lunch, completely ignoring Dumbledore standing at the gate of the courtyard.
Dumbledore was not at all annoyed by Gale's neglect, but smiled as he watched the two young children enter the room hand in hand. It's nice to be young, to have someone who cares about how you feel, and you can ignore all the other hurts.
Erin Snape took a small break after sending Tobia back to the bedroom. Tobia is just too heavy. When she returned downstairs, the whole house was silent. Seaver is gone, the Ministry clerk is gone, and the kid who came later is gone (Irene doesn't see Dumbledore, who never entered the house).
She walked to the cupboard under the stairs absently, trying to take out the potion materials she had stored to make a blood tonic for Tobias. But the empty cupboard made Erin panic.
Her potions chest is gone! All her books proving that she was a wizard were gone! Erin hurriedly ran to the window that had just been repaired by Carl, kneeling for the wand that she didn't know where to throw, and tossed her shoes aside.
No! No! No!
Irene, who couldn't find it even on the ground with her bare feet, was almost crazy. Without her wand, how could she survive without any food or pounds at home? Without her wand, how would she get into Diagon Alley? She can't get into Diagon Alley, she can't buy potion materials, what will she do the next time she gets violently treated by Tobias?
As Gale once commented, Erin is actually just in love with the character she plays. After countless episodes of domestic violence, she used guò potions to heal her body that was violently treated by Tobias, but she didn't think too much about giving it to Seaf, who was also abused and treated. She obviously has the ability to make the family live a little better, but she always lets her children suffer. She is obviously capable of stopping Tobias's atrocities, but she is always just "performing".
"Severus! Severus! Erin, her hair scattered and her red eyes were about to rush out. She must retrieve her wand! But her movements were so intense that she stood up so fast that Irene's eyes darkened, and her head tilted to the side of the glass window.
Her entire weight hit the glass, shattering the window for the second time in a day. Most of the glass shards were scattered outside the house, but a small part still fell inside. Erin fell to the ground from the impact of her head and glass, and her bare right arm was covered in blood.
She struggled to get up, but fell again because her foot was punctured by a glass. And the shard of glass that had been piercing her right arm was pierced even deeper.
