[TSNxHP] Fall in love with Whomping Willow

Eduardo had planned to Apparate directly from outside Hogsmeade to find Sirius Black once the students boarded the train.

Sirius was the secret keeper of Lily and James' wedding new home, and it was agreed that he would take Eduardo there.The four of them all wanted to know if Eduardo found anything interesting through the Marauder's Map, and it happened that Eduardo had no other plans on his schedule, so they readily agreed to go to the new house in advance, so as to help arrange some chores, for Lily, who was not familiar with wizard weddings, Reduce the burden on.

But early the next morning, what appeared in Eduardo's bedroom was not only a convenient breakfast, but also a message from the house elf, "The principal wants you to go to the principal's office immediately, Professor Savarin!"

This has only happened three times in Eduardo's two years in office, and it's always been an emergency.

So Eduardo washed up in a hurry, biting a bagel and rushing to the appointment, halfway he opened the "Daily Prophet" and glanced at it, and the photos of acquaintances made him stop briefly.

Chris Hughes, director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, calls for the Wizengamot to try Zuckerberg! "It's time!" This former classmate is convinced of Zuckerberg's darker tendencies »

Dameit.

He was pretty sure that Headmaster Dumbledore's message had something to do with it.

Eduardo reported the clearance password on the note to the stone beast, "Little Pepper Boy", walked up the steps exposed by the stone beast, and saw Mark as soon as he stepped into the principal's office.Fawkes, perched on a shelf, yells at Eduardo, as if complaining that he's been neglected.

"Ah, here he is," Headmaster Dumbledore nodded hurriedly to Eduardo, motioning for him to sit in the other armchair, then looked back at Mark, "So, Professor Zuckerberg."

Eduardo didn't know why, so he saw Mark sigh impatiently and stood up.

"First of all, the reason why I can't go undercover for the Order of the Phoenix, even though I'd really like to kill that snake-faced insanity" Mark grips his wand tightly, Eduardo remembers it well, oak, thirteen inches, core It's a very rare basilisk fang powder, they talked about it when they first met... Eduardo frowned, now is not the time to think about it.

He lowered his eyes halfway, combing Fox's side feathers, while looking at the strange brass ornaments on the principal's desk, and continued to listen to Mark.

"That bastard used Cruciatus on me more than once. Although I thought he was crazy, but since I didn't surrender in that situation, and now I go back and swear allegiance, even if he really lost his mind, he wouldn't be mad. Will easily believe me. I don't want to court death yet."

Eduardo gathers his wand together.

Mark looked at Dumbledore's calm face, and said frankly with his trademark fast speech: "Neither you nor I will trust others, in order to prove my words, I am willing to leave this passage in your Pensieve Memory, this also involves another issue, but it has nothing to do with the current situation. I want to discuss it with you after the trial. In case I am imprisoned in Azkaban, you should be able to understand something about luck after reading it. The truth about Voldemort*."

Catching the key words of Azkaban and Voldemort, Eduardo looked up at Mark, but was surprised to find that Mark's expression was unusual, solemn to a strange point.

He never expected to witness Mark like this, even if it was about the Wizengamot trial, even if it was about Voldemort, it seemed that Mark shouldn't be like this, Mark should always be indifferent, contemptuous, arrogant... And, Guan Into Azkaban?Since he never succumbed to Voldemort, how could he be imprisoned in Azkaban for inventing a spell to know a wizard's lineage?

Principal Dumbledore seemed to understand what Mark was talking about, and calmly floated a Pensieve in front of Mark. Mark turned his wand to his temple, pulled out a few strands of silver-white memories, and threw them into the Pensieve.

Eduardo had to admit he was curious, but obviously, Mr. Zuckerberg didn't invite him to watch.

"Secondly, my spell", Mark glanced at Eduardo quickly, "Professor Savarin may have briefly described it to you, but even he doesn't fully understand the ultimate secret of this spell."

Eduardo finally turns sideways, staring at the jerk who just a second ago admitted to keeping something from him.

Mark didn't look at him, and with an academic face, he introduced: "My spell, my greatest and most amazing invention so far, I discovered the mystery of the blood connection, all wizards, can Connected in a wide and complex web, it's like a family tapestry for the entire wizarding world, it's simple and beautiful, just two words, 'FaciemLibrum'*, facebook, any wizard who is curious about my spells, Since it gave me the right to see the origin of their blood, I don't even need to cast a spell in front of me, as long as they are curious, I will automatically know everything."

Eduardo already knew the essence of Mark's spell, so he was distracted to see Principal Dumbledore's expression.

Headmaster Dumbledore finally changed his face. He was surprised at first, of course, as Mark said, this is an amazing invention, and then he quickly realized the infinite harm hidden behind this spell, so he rarely Frowning, he said to Mark: "This is indeed an epoch-making spell, but"

Mark interrupted him and continued: "However, the flaw of this spell, in other words, the ultimate secret that even Professor Savarin didn't know at the time, is that I am the only one who has full access to this 'Facebook'. But a spell, no matter how powerful, that only one person can cast, no one else can do."

"So I actually didn't invite Professor Savarin to weaken him, but used rune deduction to increase its universality. Because Professor Savarin didn't want to pry into other people's privacy, he never noticed it. However, the result is strangely consistent with the real purpose After many deductions, Professor Savarin came to the conclusion that only by reducing the effect of this spell can more people use it.

"Ultimately, the public version of this spell, which is its weakened version, 'DehFaciemLibrum'. Its effect is that, if the caster has the express authorization of the caster before casting the spell, then, when the spell is spoken, The caster of the spell can see all the information that the caster of the spell does not resist the public."

"No matter which side people want to ask about my spell through the Wizengamot Trial, they will only be disappointed to find that the weakened version of this spell cannot obtain information that others do not want to publish, and the original spell can only be used by me , want to complete their conspiracy, unless they kidnap me from Hogwarts, or kidnap me from Azkaban. I think this is unlikely to happen."

Regardless of whether Headmaster Dumbledore fully accepted the statement, he loosened his brows and said relaxedly: "In this case, I think you can handle the Wizengamot trial in the afternoon, and you don't need to worry too much."

Eduardo looked at Dumbledore suddenly: "Afternoon? The Wizengamot trial? ... us? Headmaster, I don't understand"

Headmaster Dumbledore winked at him and smiled cheerfully (Eduardo found the headmaster's expression annoying for the first time): "Obviously, our Professor Zuckerberg needs a witness urgently, and I as Wei It is not very convenient to be the chief magician of Zengamo."

Eduardo, who just found out that he was deceived, wanted to say that he was not willing to be this witness, but considering Zuckerberg's poor social circle and this morning's newspaper, he didn't really say no.

"Well, we're off after lunch," Headmaster Dumbledore announced in an unnecessarily beaming tone, and promoted, "Cream mints, they're delicious, would you like one?"

Looking at the plate of milky white toads, Mark and Eduardo shook their heads in awe, and unconsciously synchronized their movements. Eduardo, who was aware of this, stood up angrily, said goodbye to the principal and left.

Using the school's owl to send a letter to Sirius to explain the situation, Eduardo almost bumped into Mark on the way back to the tower, and he couldn't explain why, when he reacted, he found himself hiding in an empty classroom door, with his back Stand against the wall.

Mark stops in the hallway outside, waiting for someone.

Eduardo was annoyed at his reaction, but it was too weird to go out now, so he just stood there.

"Ow~"

This unique call of bravado is Mrs. Norris.

Was it waiting for the cat?Is the relationship so good?

Eduardo poked his head out, and was surprised to find that Mrs. Norris was staring at Mark with a full face of wariness. It lowered its body, its claws couldn't help stretching out, and it didn't dare to show a fierce look. It wasn't as close to Mark as the rumors said, but rather Like very scared.

Mark took out his wand, and suddenly looked around vigilantly. Eduardo quickly retracted his gaze and leaned against the wall.

At this moment Mark's voice sounded, soft and deep, and Eduardo opened his eyes wide, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

"Imperio!"

Imperius Curse.One of the three unforgivable curses.Once used on humans, it will be imprisoned for life in Azkaban.

Mrs. Norris is a cat, not a human, and Zuckerberg has always been good at finding loopholes.

But why did Zuckerberg hypnotize a cat with the Imperius Curse?

What was he going to order Mrs. Norris to do?

Judging from Mrs. Norris's reaction, this is not the first time.

"Look at Eduardo Saverin."

what?

"Seeing him in danger, save him, even if you sacrifice your life."

"If you see him in danger, scratch your collar and let me know."

"Now, go away."

why?

Eduardo can't remember exactly how he got to the courtroom, he certainly remembers the Ministry of Magic elevator and the note plane, but it feels more like watching than experiencing it himself.

Until he was led by Headmaster Dumbledore, walked through the uncomfortable dark corridor of the Department of Mysteries, turned down the stairs, and entered the tenth courtroom.

They actually formally tried Mark.

Realizing this, Eduardo immediately suppressed his mixed thoughts and pulled himself together.

It's a dark hall-like room, with black stone walls, dimly lit torches, and rows of benches rising up and down the center of the room, reminding Eduardo of a Muggle Colosseum.

Some wizards in fuchsia robes (with a silver "W" embroidered on the left front breast, signifying members of the Wizengamot, as well as Headmaster Dumbledore) sat on these benches, as well as some reporters and observers, such as "The Prophet" The notorious Rita Kiester of the Daily, such as Chris Hughes, looks full at first glance, but the whole room is very solemn and creepy.

A very unpleasant place, and of course it wasn't built to be pleasant in the first place.

Mark, who followed Auror Frank Barton into the courtroom ahead of time, sat on the chair in the center of the room, and two chains bound Mark tightly.

"Trial on December 12rd," announced the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Barty Crouch grimly, "in the case of Hogwarts Potions Professor Mark Zuckerberg for breaching the International Statute of Secrecy."

"Interrogator: Barty Crouch, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement; Harold Minchan, Minister for Magic. Trial Recorder: Gilbert Whymple; Witness for the Defense: Eduardo Luiz Saverin."

Eduardo noticed Chris' angry gaze, lowered his eyes as if he didn't see it, he straightened his back, walked to the chair next to Zuckerberg and sat down, except that there was no chain, the two chairs were almost identical, cold and uncomfortable .

The plan is that Eduardo will testify for Mark and help Mark demonstrate his spells. Even though Eduardo is not willing to disclose his information to the public, there is really no better candidate. The sight of the official trial in front of him makes Eduardo more determined.Although he had a confused account and didn't know how to settle it with Mark, he obviously couldn't just watch Mark being conspired to send him to Azkaban.

In full view, Mark started his performance.

At first, Eduardo could still watch with a cold face, but when the faces of the members of the Wizengamot kept changing with Mark's words, he found it really difficult to hold back a smile.

That arrogant guy hasn't changed at all, listen, what is "When the whole wizarding world is going to stand still, I think that the great spell I invented, if used properly, will bring about epoch-making changes"?

Also, "I don't get it, is there any wizard other than me who sees the rapid development of Muggle technology? There are people fighting for power and profit in this small part of the wizarding world, killing each other? You are so short-sighted and superficial Unbelievable."

Even, "Allegiance to Voldemort? Why should I allege to a snake-faced insanity?"

……

Eduardo bets that the small twinkle in the calm eyes of the Wizengamot members next to Principal Dumbledore is definitely admiration for Mark, and the rest of the Wizengamot members are panicked, wishing to plug their ears and run away. I'm afraid of being implicated by Mark.

As for Director Crouch, who was in charge of the trial, although he was very disgusted with Mark's behavior, he was jealous and hated, and his complexion did not obviously improve after hearing Mark's bold satire on Voldemort.

When Mark was authorized to demonstrate the spell, he didn't directly ask Eduardo to help demonstrate it as promised, but suddenly said something unexpected.

"Although I am the only authorized person for the full version of this spell", Mark suddenly looked unwilling, and said in a pompous tone that made Eduardo feel strange, "However, I have to admit that this is a flawed spell. Mr. Savarin changed In the previous version, it is impossible to know the information that the caster is unwilling to tell the public. My original version, in addition to the extremely low success rate of casting the spell, has a more obvious flaw. If I cling to an idea, for example, if a half-blood firmly believes that he is a pure-blood wizard, for example, if a wizard is firmly in love with another wizard who has no knowledge, then I will get wrong information."

Eduardo looked at Mark in surprise, only to see Mark turn his wand decisively and cast a spell on himself: "FaciemLibrum!"

Rows of indigo characters floated from Mark's body, his name, age, parents, lineage, place of birth, school... all at a glance.

The most conspicuous, and also the most exciting to Rita Kester in the auditorium, are two of them.

"Relationships: Trying to Reconnect with a Fighting Lover"

"Lovers: Eduardo Luiz Saverin"

Eduardo freezes in his chair, but doesn't stop thinking at the same time.

Are Mark's spells really flawed?No, Eduardo is sure.

Different from "the permission to use the original spell belongs only to Mark", Eduardo knows Mark too well, he knows that it is not a defect at all in Mark's eyes. It's a real flaw that Mark is uttering now out of the blue.

But if there is such a defect, Mark will be furious, and will stay up all night to modify the research, and will never rush to make its modification and weaken it public, so as to arouse all wizards' curiosity about it.

But if it's not a flaw...

Forcibly ignoring the part related to himself, Eduardo's brown eyes flashed a trace of anger and worry, Mark actually acted recklessly to this point, improvised in the Wizengamot formal trial court, gave up his safe testimony, and lied in public!

Chris Hughes jumped out to protest: "I object, I think Savarin is helping Zuckerberg lie! As their friend, I know that the two of them had an extraordinary relationship when they were in Hogwarts! It's not a flaw, it's a fact!"

Eduardo kept his expression steady and didn't let himself panic for a moment, but Mark seemed to have expected someone to say that, and continued to Barty Crouch confidently: "So, as we all know, Director Crouch, you have a relationship with your only son Very bad, irreconcilable, it can be said that your disappointment in the only son is equivalent to the disgust of criminal wizards. Please think in the bottom of your heart 'only reveal the true identity of my son Barty Crouch Jr.', appoint a wizard at will Casting a weakened version of the spell on you, my spell will inevitably misread the strong emotions in your subconscious, and maybe reveal the identity of Barty Crouch Jr. as your most hated criminal."

Even if the spell did not fail as Zuckerberg said and showed his complete information, Director Crouch, who thinks he is clean and honest, will not be timid, because he has no evidence. It was a wonderful publicity, so after thinking silently, Director Crouch agreed with a straight face.

Deputy Director Amelia Bones cast a spell on Barty Crouch, and there was no response the first time, the second time until the fifth time, and it was not successful until the sixth time.

Eduardo knows without guessing that Mark secretly used the silent spell.

As Mark said, a line of indigo characters floated from Director Crouch.

"Only Son: Barty Crouch Jr. Status: Death Eater*"

Everyone at the scene gasped, and then remembered Mark's explanation beforehand, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and even felt sorry for Barty Crouch, who was busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Magic and had no time to take care of his rebellious only son.

These relieved people did not include Headmaster Dumbledore and Eduardo.

Barty Crouch Jr. is a Death Eater. This is not only a big scandal enough to stumble Crouch, who is in the limelight, but also involves the safety of many wizards.

The ensuing questioning, and all of Eduardo's answers, are almost instinctive.

Eduardo: "Yeah, I don't think he ever wanted to join You-Know-Who."

Director Crouch: "Is there any basis for your opinion?"

After a short silence, Eduardo finally said, "I never thought he was completely righteous, nor did I think he was completely evil."

"The only thing I am sure of, the only thing I am sure of, is that Mr. Zuckerberg, for all his arrogance and habit of contempt for others, is precisely because of this his inflated pride does not allow him to bow to Voldemort. If he does The choice of justice is not all because he has justice in his heart, but because he disdains to be anyone's lackey servant, let alone Voldemort's kind of bastard who tortures others wantonly."

All the wizards present were silent.

Only Mark chuckled.

The next day, Godric's Hollow.

At the breakfast table in the new home of the Potters, when Sirius impassionedly read the testimony written by Rita Kester to the "Daily Prophet" for the third time: "...not to mention Voldemort's wanton torture Other people's bastards! "

Eduardo's ears finally turned red, and he said angrily, "Thirty points deducted from Gryffindor!"

James Potter added fuel to Eduardo's fire with a smile: "If I had known, Professor, that you have a boyfriend, I would definitely have asked you if you wanted to bring a companion."

The understanding Lily gave him a pinch, and warned in a tone that was trying to cover up, "James!"

Eduardo explained desperately: "He's not my boyfriend."

Lupine smiled softly, but what he said blew Dao Lei up on the dining table: "Fortunately, Principal Dumbledore chose to bring his companions to participate. I saw a strange name when I registered, and I was curious who it was. It turned out to be this Professor Zuckerberg."

what? !

Sirius and James Potter burst out laughing, cheering "Principal Dumbledore" and "Boyfriend" like slogans, and the smile on Lupine's face became more obvious, and Wormtail sat timidly. At the end of the table, his eyes flicked timidly over Eduardo from time to time, and he chuckled in agreement.

Lily looks at them, with fondness and contentment all over her face, and winks apologetically at Eduardo.

Eduardo smiles wryly.

"By the way," Lily finally remembered what she had discussed with Eduardo before, "Professor Savarin, I've searched all the information I can get at, but I can't find any legends about your family's ring."

Eduardo was taken aback, and then said: "Really? I'm sorry to trouble you, if the family records have not been lost, I don't have to"

Lily interrupted him and said seriously: "What are you talking about? You risked your life to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts regardless of the curse. As your students, we are just helping to find information. How can we call it troublesome?"

James and Sirius obviously knew about it, and they interjected in unison: "What, is your ring invalid?"

Eduardo waved his hand quickly: "You don't have to worry, the ring is not invalid."

Everyone quieted down, and Eduardo continued to explain: "Compared to the crises encountered by the previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, such as falling off a cliff and exploding potions, the 'accidents' that happened to me this semester seem a bit ' prank', so I want to find out why."

"But doesn't that mean that your mithril ring does have the legendary function, counteracting the malice of the curse and alleviating your crisis?" Lupine speculated reassuringly and reasonably, and said in disapproval, " And calling those accidents 'pranks' is an understatement, you could all be hurt."

The others nod in agreement, looking at Eduardo with concern and reproach.

Eduardo can't laugh or cry.

What Lupine said seemed reasonable, but they didn't know more details.

Last school year, Eduardo served as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts for the first time. His ring was still intact. With the erosion of the curse, the surface of the ring gradually turned gray until it broke, and the protective effect on Eduardo gradually became stronger. Weakened, in line with the law of magic reduction.

Now, his ring is already a remnant sent to Gringotts for repair. The goblin who repaired it has warned that even if a ring with cracks appears to be repaired by the goblin, the powerful forged ring made by the foundry master The guardian spell cannot be completely repaired, and the protective effect must not be as good as before.

However, in this half semester, the crisis that Eduardo encountered was not as deadly as the various accidents of the previous school year, and it was more like a "prank that may cause serious consequences".

for example.

Eduardo clearly remembers that last school year, when the surface of the ring was as gray as it is now, halfway through the second half of the semester, one night, the curtains of the four-poster bed quietly caught fire, and if he hadn't been vigilant enough, he might have been burned to death in sleep.

Now, the first half of the semester is not over yet, and the surface of the ring has been eroded to the same gray scale. However, the last crisis he encountered was just that time when he was arguing with Mark and going down the stairs, the steps suddenly disappeared. .

But the newlyweds shouldn't worry about anything, Eduardo didn't explain his doubts in detail, but simply agreed with a few words with a smile, and then chatted with Lily.

Lily excitedly mentioned an ancient guardian magic that she found while researching information, about love and life, involving voluntary sacrifices for love and other conditions. Eduardo vaguely felt that the bride's talk about this was a bit ominous, so he changed the subject and talked about the lily of the wedding venue The magic spell of freshness of flowers.

Meanwhile, Zuckerberg was once again sitting in the Headmaster's office, steadfastly refusing to access his memories, so only Headmaster Dumbledore was at the Pensieve.

"Crucio*!" "Crucio!" "Crucio!" "Crucio!"

"ah-------------"

"Hahahahahaha, my master, he won't bow his knees to you, so I'll let him roll like a dog under your feet!"

"continue."

"Crucio!" "Crucio!" "Crucio!" "Crucio!"

"Hahahahaha, is he dead?"

"Crucio!"

"Crucio!"

"Crucio!"

"Crucio!"

"Trash! Move! Dead dog!"

"Crucio!"

"Crucio!"

"Crucio!"

"It moved. He's not dead."

"Crucio!" "Crucio!" "Crucio!" "Crucio!"
