After a conversation with the founder, Gail did not let go of his baggage, but turned to the other extreme, which the founder did not expect.

Gail has been so busy lately that he has barely seen anyone, and every night when he returns to his bedroom, he is also very tired and falls asleep. This gave Severus a sense of loss.

He finally realized how Gale felt when he was immersed in potions research, loneliness.

This unstoppable loss and loneliness left Severus without the undivided attention he used to have. Facing the cauldron in front of him, Severus absentmindedly stirred the stirring rod, causing the originally clear potion to gradually become cloudy and disappear in the direction of an eerie viscous substance.

It wasn't until he felt that the stirring rod in his hand could no longer stir the potion, that Severus, who had come to his senses, looked down at the cement-like things in the crucible, sighed deeply, and disappeared without a trace.

Gail has indeed been unable to do anything recently, and has died a lot of brain cells.

Defensive items are not a rare alchemical product, and a random person from a well-known family in the wizarding world can take care of a person with one or two defensive items at worst. Cufflinks, hairpins, brooches, earrings, glasses. Even some ancient families still have wizards' robes woven into magic scripts or defensive circles.

However, given that the magic circle and the method of weaving the ruin have been lost, most families regard these robes as family heirlooms, rather than wearing them casually.

No matter how hard Dumbledore tried to minimize the turmoil and chaos in the wizarding world, conflict was inevitable. So, self-protection has become a very important thing.

What Gale wants to do is an item that can protect the owner to the greatest extent, passively trigger to deal damage to enemies, and not be misused even if it is taken away.

This is the basic quality of a defensive item. At the same time, he also wanted his work to have the ability to capture, bind, and preferably alarm and teleport.

There are not many alchemical items with the above single functions, but there are none that are mixed together. Alchemy itself is a kind of carefully calculated superposition of energy, and the energy transformation carried out in the original single function is complex enough, and when these are put together, the final result is the chaos and collapse of energy.

That's what Gale has been busy with – building a framework that can mix multiple functions and make it possible.

In addition to this, Gael's Slytherin reading entries gradually added more specialized (read "boring") books to the young snakes.

From politics to law, social development, and the course of history, he even began to conceive of the talent composition that would be needed in the future when the Ministry of Magic changed its blood.

"You're thinking too far." Lily more or less saw a hint of Gail's meddling. In this regard, she gave the above evaluation.

"No, I don't think it's far at all." Gale gave Lily another number that needed to be counted to be counted and checked, "Four years at most, this guy will definitely die." We have to get ready! ”

"Merlin, I wish we had a computer!" Lily looked at the interrupted number on the parchment with disgust, and complained a little dissatisfied, "Why did you only ask me to help you get these?" ”

Without waiting for Gail to answer, Lily answered the question herself: "Well, only I know math. What more can I say? ”

Almost in the blink of an eye, time slipped away when Gale wasn't looking. However, his research gradually reached a bottleneck and stopped.

In March, Gale and Lily finally completed all the theoretical calculations, and Gale began to make Zuò. Sadly, the god of luck did not continue to favor Gail. Supported by near-perfect numbers, Gael's reality was stuck from the start—he wasn't even able to build a monolithic framework to accommodate these functions.

"Gail, you need to rest." Severus was strict with his requirements.

Gail's head didn't lift his head with an "um", which hardened Severus's attitude and snatched a piece of metal from Gail's hand.

"Severus, give it back to me! I'm not sleepy! You see, there are no dark circles under the eyes and no hija. ”

"That's because of my energy potion! Gail, potions are no substitute for sleep. ”

"Please, Seaver! Five more minutes! I'll definitely go to sleep in five minutes! Gail looked at Severus pitifully, hoping that the latter would open the net, "I just had another idea, and this time it will be successful!" ”

Severus sighed, frowned and shook his head, rejecting Gail's unreasonable request, "You and I both know this is not true. When I give you five minutes, you're going to want the next five minutes, aren't you? It's been three days since last Friday, and you even missed today's breakfast. You need to rest, and if you don't go yourself, then I'll let you go. ”

"It's urgent! Severus, Lily and I have been calculating for over a month now, and it may take even longer to see the finished product! It's so important! Gail stood on tiptoe to reach the piece of metal that Severus had lifted, but the difference in height made his efforts futile.

"Without you, the world wouldn't be ruined!" Severus was angry. Originally, Gail's persistence, sense of justice and sense of responsibility were all things he found cute, and they were also the starting point of Gail's connection with his fate. But now, he wished that Gail was a selfish nuisance, so that he wouldn't have to spend time and energy on things that had nothing to do with him.

Voldemort? Could it be that Dumbledore and Grindelwald were vegetarians? Isn't the Daily Prophet's report denigrating the Potters not even a single piece of water enough to prove their competence? Why did Gale think it was him, a fourth-grader, who needed to be responsible for the safety of most people?

As if he hadn't heard, Gale continued to slap Severus on the shoulder with one hand and reach out to the metal that had been polished into an oval outline. This made Severus even angrier.

He casually threw the metal block in his hand on the processing table on the side, and fixed Gail's shoulders with both hands for the other party to look at him: "Gail, how long has it been since you looked at me seriously?" Or do you regret it? ”

"What?" Gail came back to his senses slightly. He touched his hair, a little stunned at something, "No, no! ”

"Now...... then," Severus said, holding a sigh in his throat and not spitting it out, "go to sleep." He took Gail by the hand and led him back to the bedroom, washed him clean, changed into a pair of pajamas, and tucked him into the covers.

"Seaver, I'm sorry." Gail pursed his lips, knowing that he had been wrong.

Because of the energy potion, Gale can't sleep unless he waits until the potion effect has passed or he drinks the dream potion or life and death potion again. When Severus returned with the dreamless potion, he heard Gail's apology.

"I hope you're okay and don't torture yourself like this." Severus took Gail's empty bottle before replying.

The effect of the potion was immediate. When Gale snored and fell into a dark sweetness, Severus's tense expression softened. He lowered his head and kissed Gail's soft, slightly cool lips, and felt peace from the bottom of his heart: "Never have to say 'I'm sorry' to me." ”

He watched Gael's sleeping face quietly, wishing to reach the end of the world, but there was always something else to work out.

"It's my fault." In the central hall, Rowena was also uncomfortable.

Gail was so excited, and a little extreme, that he seemed to be able to take on one but couldn't afford it alone. So Rowena wanted Gail to divert his attention. ”

"I thought a month had passed and Gail should have stopped ...... I'm sorry. ”

Severus knew intellectually that this was Gael's own problem, that he had thought it badly. But people's hearts are on the long side, and he doesn't feel at all wrong with throwing the main responsibility for things on the founder: "So in fact you are just diverting Gael's attention? ”

"We didn't know how to convince him. In fact, Gail understands the truth of Yiqiē, but he himself is unwilling to be a non-productive bystander because emotion has overcome reason. He has too much weight and secrets in his heart. ”

"I think you're the one who can convince him more than we are."

"To be honest, it's the first time in so many years that I've seen a kid who takes everything on himself."

"Yes, isn't campus life bad?"

"What a great experience it was to be with all those energetic friends, young lads and girls, young feelings and so on! I wish Gail could enjoy it. As an elder, I don't want him to grow old. ”

"Come on, Godric, Gale was probably born like this! He probably won't be able to change this idle temperament in his life. ”

"Hey! Hey! Boy, I have an idea! Godric leaned closer to his frame, half of it filling up with one face, "I think it's too unlikely to change Gale, and I still have to divert his attention." ”

"Rowena tried it before, didn't she? It didn't work! Helga said politely.

"That's in the wrong direction!" Godric's face has a faint expression that is called "evil" on the faces of good-looking people and "lewd" on the faces of ugly people.

"Oh, Merlin! I'm not going to want to hear what follows, I'm going to leave! Rowena and Helga stroked their foreheads as if they were going to pass out at any moment. After being friends for so many years, they couldn't have a better idea of what Godric's virtue was.

Salazar frowned and opened his mouth, swallowing back the words he had originally wanted to stop Godric, and said something else: "Actually, back to the roots, just get rid of Voldemort." But there are some things that really aren't within our reach. It's as if now, we are clearly the portrait of the four founders, but we can only solve the mental health problems of teenagers here. This is ironic, but it is true. With that, Salazar disappeared into his portrait.

"Listen, boy!" Godric seems to want to chase Salazar away. But Gael's business was not finished yet, so he quickened his speech and said his thoughts to Severus, "People always run away from pain and yearn for happiness, so once they have the opportunity to live a little easier." ”

Speaking of which, probably Godric also realized that the Gale he had met in a short period of time happened to be a person who was unwilling to live a easier life, so he skipped this paragraph: "There are only two things that no one can resist!" Gastronomy and beauty, eating and xing. ”

Severus's ears turned red at Godric's blunt words, and he pursed his lips uncomfortably.

"You can try using it to distract Gail. As long as Gale feels enjoyable and addicted, he will always be distracted and want to ......"

"Godric!" Severus interrupted, his face flushed with excitement or something, "Gail isn't like that...... He's simple! It is the cleanest and noblest! This should be after we graduate and go to the Ministry of Magic to get the partner certificate! ”

"Merlin's socks, another
