CHAPTER XXXIII

Severus said goodbye to Gail and went home. Tobia didn't know where he was going to drink again, and he was relieved that he wasn't there.

Erin doesn't seem happy about Severus' return. With a sad face, she let Seaver into her room: "No! Don't take out your wand in this house! Put your textbooks away! ”

Tobias's hatred of magic over the years had twisted the woman's heart to the point where she even felt that her son shouldn't have been there. If it weren't for the fact that this child had a magical riot that forced her to confess her identity to her husband, then they would still be a loving fairy couple!

During the year Severus was away from home, Tobias didn't even notice his son's disappearance. Or maybe he noticed, but after blaming all the bad luck on Erin and Seaver, he wished they both disappeared from his life.

Seaver had come home with the mood of "I might be able to protect my mother." No matter how much his mother turned a blind eye to him, or only had the "father" who abused their mother and son in his heart, he always remembered that on his birthday, Erin once gave him a small, somewhat spoiled cake.

Although the cake eventually became a little moldy because he had left it for too long, and then Tobia grabbed him and punched him. Although Erin hasn't celebrated his birthday since, Severus always remembers the "love" that Erin gave him. Although that's just a little bit of insignificant concern.

Tobia returned home in the middle of the night a few days later, leaving all the money in his pocket for the tavern. Half-drunk, he was not happy with his drinks, and it was when he was angry. And Irene's attentive care seemed to him a great irony.

"Get out! I don't care about you! It's all you! Tobia shook off the towel that Erin handed her and kicked Erin down.

The dull sound of Erin as she fell to the ground and Tobias's roar soon made Severus understand what had happened - his "father" had returned.

Severus jumped up from his bed, and without thinking about putting on his coat, he rushed down the stairs barefoot. When he reached the living room, he saw his mother curled up and moaning on the floor, while his "father" swayed to his feet, trying to continue kicking and beating his mother who had fallen against the wall.

Severus quickly rushed over to check on Erin. Probably because she was often subjected to such violence and force, Erin's body could even subconsciously avoid the vital position, so she was just hit in the stomach. This relieved Severus.

"Little cub!" Tobias spotted Severus, and was almost awake when he saw Severus's nicely made pajamas, a birthday present from Gail. Tobias, who hadn't thought of Severus as his own child since he learned that he was a wizard, narrowed his eyes.

"You're a monster with that bitch mom of yours! Now I've even learned to hide money! You say there is no money, where will you get new clothes? Tobias roared at Erin, who had finally endured the pain, her eyes red as if she were enchanted.

"No, it's not! It's not! All my money is given to you! Erin shuddered, "Tobias, please! I love you! I'm your wife! ”

"It's not! No! My wife won't be a monster! Tobias took two steps forward, trying to shut up Erin with violence and force as usual. But it was clear that Severus, who had risen abruptly, was hindering his movements.

Tobia looked at Severus, who had risen tall and looked much healthier, standing in front of him in a defensive posture, and the anger in his heart was ignited at once: "Are you going to rebel?" ”

Severus ignored him, just picked up Erin and walked down the hallway to the second floor. But this silence made Tobia even angrier—how dare he! How dare he ignore him like this! How dare he do this to himself!

"Stop! Get the money out! Get your money out of your clothes! You ungrateful little! Tobias was furious and went up to grab Sever.

But Severus cleverly dodged it - there were even books on swordsmanship in the Hogwarts library. After a few times, Tobia's anger grew stronger, and he screamed and said a lot of unpleasant words, pointing the finger at Erin.

Erin listened to Tobias's mean and hurtful words, and turned her gaze between Severus and Tobia twice, and then grabbed Sever's hand: "Give your money to your father, please!" ”

Severus once told a story about Gail's family situation, but now he suddenly remembered Gail's assessment of the mother in it: "A woman who is immersed in her own love fantasies, plays the role of a self-pity sacrificer, as if she were the greatest woman in the world who sacrificed her life for love." Those insignificant actions made her child, who had lacked love since childhood, feel that she was loved, but in fact, this woman didn't love anyone, only the stunning beauty she played. Look, this woman may take advantage of the place that this child can use in order to satisfy her 'love'. Even if it's to take away the insignificant things that this child has for himself. ”

How like! Severus was in a trance. Is the story Gale telling himself? But then Tobias's voice came: "Little cub, take off your clothes too!" It's not something like you can wear! ”

Tobias's impression of Severus is still at the stage of "as long as Irene says something, Severus will obey". His request was more of an annoyance at Severus for daring to ignore him - he wanted to humiliate the kid!

Severus slowly let go of the hand holding Erin and said softly, "No." ”

"What?" It's a duet, one from Tobias, full of rage; A sound came from Erin, a little overwhelmed.

Severus made the same mistake as Gale - overestimating himself and underestimating the other. Such a mistake caused a catastrophe even in front of Seaver, who had taken the potion of potential.

The difference in physique between adults and minors is once again reflected here, and although Tobia is a person who has been hollowed out by alcohol, such a person, with the afterglow of alcohol still lingering and angry, is incredibly explosive. Severus was kicked in the chest and hit the staircase handle, knocking him down in pain.

Tobias then went up and yelled and kicked as he had done so many times before. And Irene, too, as before, sat on the ground not far away, crying and begging, "Tobias, please!" I love you! He's your child! It's you and my baby! ”

Severus suddenly understood that if Erin really loved herself a little, then it wouldn't be the same thing that she is now begging and begging, without the slightest hindrance. The words she said while crying were really a bit like a show! And the audience is Tobias.

Erin hopes that Tobia will change her mind through her performance, and that she is nothing more than a tool for her confession! Severus found that he still had the strength to think about it, and he could remember a book of tips for curling up to avoid critical injuries when being beaten.

But in such a situation, Seaver felt very sad and very sad! What he didn't know was that while he was curling up to avoid Tobia's punches and kicks, a fierce and short-lived magical riot was brewing because of the unsteadiness of his feelings. After a few seconds, there was a sound of glass shattering, followed by Erin's screams and Tobias's muffled snorts.

As Tobias's kicking stopped, Seaver peered through the gap between his arms and saw that Tobias's abdomen was stuck diagonally with several sharp shards of glass, bleeding downward. And Erin, because she was kneeling on the ground, was a little farther away, and behind Tobias, and was not injured by the glass.

Erin watched as Tobias began to bleed dripping beneath him, then let out a faint moan and fell to her knees.

"Ahh Yes! Tobias! Tobias! Erin screamed and went up to hold Tobias, and then because Tobias's injuries were not severe, she turned to Severus: "You devil! How dare you hurt your father! Her eyes were red now, too, the same as Tobias's furious gaze.

Tobia began to have chills and spasms from the injury. Erin, who was holding Tobias, noticed this immediately, and immediately gently placed Tobias in a place where there were no glass shards, and then ran to the utility room under the stairs to rummage through her wand and potions.

Severus looked at Erin with a cold gaze from beginning to end, and after Irene's figure disappeared into the shadows under the stairs, he turned his eyes to Tobias again.

Erin severed her ties with the wizarding world after marrying Tobias, so Severus is the only recorded wizard in Spider's End Alley.

After the first time Erin cast the spell, the spell was attributed to Severus. At the same time, there are two officials from the Ministry of Magic to deal with the matter. You know, sometimes the spells cast by the little wizard can cause some huge accidents. It would not be good if ordinary people discovered the existence of the wizard.

The owl with the warning letter came in through the broken window, dropped the letter and left. Severus picked up the letter but didn't read it, but continued to look at Tobias. Erin, on the other hand, was using a spell to heal Tobias's wounds, not even noticing the owl that came and went.

Seconds later, there was a knock on the door of 19 Spider Tail Alley. However, of the three people present, Erin was busy taking care of Tobias, who was injured and unconscious, and Severus, although no longer curled up on the ground, still did not get up. So after a while, there was the sound of "Alajo Cave Open" and a series of footsteps at the door.
