HP trickle down

When there were only Bert and Severus in the dormitory at the end, Bert told Severus all about his conversation and deal with Lucius.There was no need to hide this from Severus.

Moreover, he can also rely on his own means to make Duke agree to his request, which can be regarded as completing Lucius' deal.

"Prince?" Severus's mind raced quickly, thinking of his mother's complaints in his ear when he was very young.But the older I got, the more silent my mother became.Now he actually doesn't know how Irene feels about Prince now.But because he heard bad things about Prince's family when he was a child, he doesn't like Prince now.

Hearing the disdain in Severus's words, Bert only said, "Duke Prince is old, and he may be approaching the end of his life. Aunt Ailin may also be willing to visit his grandfather."

This matter should best be brought up by Severus, Burt is really not very good at interfering in their grievances.It was a deal, but Burt was actually taking this opportunity to talk to Severus about the Prince family.If Severus wanted to avoid detours and become a master of potions, he also needed the help of the Prince family.

Anyway, Prince is also a member of the nobles, so it's not good if the Ministry of Magic is so cheap.

"You write a letter to my mother first." Severus had no distaste for Bert's behavior, and it was Slytherin's nature to use any means to achieve his goals.

Bert nodded, remembering the more accurate location of the Slytherin chamber he had calculated, and said, "Sev, let's go find the Slytherin chamber."

"Did you forget the last time you said to go to the Chamber of Secrets and only heard a gossip?" Severus smirked.

Bert confidently took out his "evidence", pointed to the twists and turns on the parchment, walked his fingers over the picture, and stopped at a red mark, Burt said: "I've calculated it many times, and I feel it must be there. Severus, it's still early anyway, why don't you go and see it with me?"

"Compared to this, I'd rather go to the Forbidden Forest." Severus had no curiosity about the secret room, wandering around in the secret passage would be better than wandering inside the Forbidden Forest.In this way, fresh potions can be picked, and the scenery of the Forbidden Forest is also good.

"Okay, let's go to the Forbidden Forest." Bert was going to find the secret room first, and take Severus there after making sure there was no danger.Don't know what's in the Chamber of Secrets, if there's something Severus likes, it's not too late to call him.Let Severus just follow him like this, what if he gets bored?

……

The Forbidden Forest is very quiet in the dark night, and you can hear the chirping of little insects like weavers if you listen quietly.

The lights inside Hogwarts have been extinguished, and the castle has fallen into Hei Tian's dreamland.Burt and Severus came out just like that, but they were also cautious, using the Disillusionment Charm and silence on their bodies to ensure that they would not be discovered by the patrolling professor during their night travels.

There were no medicinal herbs on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, so Severus glanced at Hagrid's cabin not far away, and decided to take a walk inside.

Bert followed silently, but his nerves were tense.The school will not designate this forest as a Forbidden Forest for no reason, and the Alfreds are not interested in night tours, so they are not familiar with the Forbidden Forest at all.

It had been many years since Hagrid had lived here.Bert knew that this man was a hybrid of giant and human, and had a kind heart.But this big man obviously doesn't know the difference between himself and ordinary people, and always likes some large dangerous creatures, which he can still call cute.It can only be said that his pet taste is not flattering.

Moreover, Hagrid has lived here for so many years, and Bert didn't believe that this big fool would not raise some of his favorite "little cuties" in this forest.Those creatures were no threat to Hagrid, but it was hard to say to the little wizard.

So even if it's a night tour, it's like taking a rest in a different environment, Bert doesn't dare to relax his vigilance here.

Severus seemed relaxed, but secretly he was also wary.The reason is the same as Burt's. There will be dangers in the Forbidden Forest, but if you walk a little from the outside, there shouldn't be any problem.

After walking and stopping for a while, Severus finally found a potion that satisfied him.Taking a closer look at this herb, Severus confirmed that it was "Miyue Grass", a kind of neutralizing herb used to make advanced potions, with mild medicinal properties and no toxicity.

Taking out his small medicine hoe from the tail ring, Severus squatted down on the herbs and gently dug up the dirt with concentration.The rice moon grass must be uprooted and can be preserved for a long time.

Burt seemed to hear something in his ears. He glanced into the depths of the Forbidden Forest twice, but he didn't see anything unusual.Quietly stayed by Severus' side, without saying a word.

Severus, who had dug up a herb, walked towards the sound of water.Generally speaking, where there is sufficient water, more herbs will grow there.

Burt moved closer to Severus, smiled at Severus, "Sev, the moonlight is pretty good today. The riverside must have a better view."

"Do more useful things when you have time, instead of standing aside and watching the scenery." Seeing his smirk, Severus doubted his original intention of taking Bert to visit the Forbidden Forest.

"Of course I will help you pick the medicinal materials, but along the way, there are no medicinal materials that you are satisfied with, so I just watch you pick the medicinal materials." Bert defended himself a little.

"Whatever you want." Severus was more than satisfied with his reason.Hogwarts is now covered with a layer of snow, but for some unknown reason, the Forbidden Forest is still full of vitality.The leaves haven't fallen much, but it's still cold.

Bert saw that Severus' lips were turning purple, and cast a warming charm on Severus.He had already asked Severus to change into the clothes he had prepared, but Severus still looked out of shape in this environment.

Burt secretly made up his mind to make Severus healthier. As Severus' "elder", Burt felt that the task on his shoulders was heavy.

Following Severus to the river, the moonlight shone softly on the surface of the river, and the river water floated out of the darkness deep in the Forbidden Forest like a silver ribbon, and flowed into the Black Lake.

There are relatively few trees by the river, and there is only a grassland on the river beach.Some weed-like plants emerged from the snow quilt, and seemed to have a tendency to grow up against the moonlight.

Severus found a lot of medicinal materials he needed here, and he was more satisfied with letting Burt go to the other side to help him collect the medicinal materials.

Burt turned around, took a seat where he could see Severus, and started gathering herbs as well.He always thought the new weeds looked familiar, and wondered if Severus had seen them.If it was medicinal materials, Severus should know about it.

As time went by, the moonlight became brighter and brighter. When the moon was in the sky, Burt suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.The medicine hoe in his hand fell, and Bert remembered what those weeds were.

"Severus..." Burt stood up and called Severus who was concentrating on collecting medicine.

Hearing Bert calling him, Severus raised his head and saw a pale white light opposite him.A flower gradually blooms under the moonlight.The petals are slowly unfolding, and dots of light spots float out from the center of the flower.A faint fragrance came, and the moonlight made the flowers bloom more and more beautifully.

"Moonlight flower..." Severus murmured, his black eyes lit up suddenly, and the frantic light made Bert sure that his feeling was right.

I really didn't expect Hogwarts to have such a big moonlight flower here. The sea of ​​flowers looks sacred and beautiful, and it's hard to give birth to the heart of destruction.

Still, the two people present are the ones whose dictionary lacks the word romantic.Severus looked at the moon in the sky. When the moonlight flowers were in full bloom, they would wither and the medicine would lose its effect.

"Pick it quickly!" It was impossible for Severus to just watch the moonlight bloom and lose.So he acted immediately. Compared with Moonlight Flower, these medicinal materials were too ordinary.

Burt laughed a little at Severus' energetic look.It seems that although he likes black magic the most, but because the progress of research is too slow, his love for potions has also exploded in his blood.

The moonlight flowers under the moonlight bloomed quickly, and then withered quickly in the next moment.Moonlight spots fluttered in the air, like fireflies, like stars surrounding them.

Burt watched Severus dig up the moonshine flowers quickly, freezing them at their most beautiful moment.The technique was clean and neat, the strike was quick and ruthless, and the eyes also accurately found the moonlight flowers that could be picked.

Severus was so focused on picking medicinal herbs, Bert couldn't just let Severus dig by himself, willingly squatted down and searched for usable moonflowers among the thousands of flowers,...

Even after working hard for a long time, there are only dozens of moonlight flowers that can be collected.Moonlight flowers only bloom at midnight, and after midnight, no matter how bright the moonlight is, the moonlight flowers will wither one after another.

Severus wanted to continue picking other herbs, but Bert wouldn't allow it.

Staring at Burt's hand holding him, Severus' eyes seemed to say let him go.

Bert shook his head disapprovingly, and said, "Sev, it's time to rest." Besides, it's been a long time since bedtime.

Severus had no choice but to put away the medicine he picked and followed Bert out of the Forbidden Forest.

Bert, who was walking on the road, always felt that he could hear some strange sounds. Sometimes he couldn't help but look back, but there was always nothing.

'Maybe it's a little far away. ' Burt thought to himself.His hearing is already abnormal, and he can hear very far away, so sometimes he is not sure where the movement he hears is.

"What's wrong?" Severus saw that he sometimes looked behind him, and he followed suit, but found nothing.

Bert shook his head and said, "It's nothing, let's get out of here." Bert didn't want to stay here any longer, and Bert would always feel chills when he heard those movements.

Severus, who didn't know what Bert was thinking, could only follow Bert's instructions and quicken his pace.

Back in the dormitory, Bert told Severus to wash up first, there should not be any threat to him in the Forbidden Forest.So, what's in there?

The author has something to say:

……small theater……

Bert (holding a large bouquet of roses): Wife, here you are!

Severus (sneezes): I'm allergic to hay fever, fuck off!

Bert (a large bouquet of moonlight flowers): Wife, here you are!

Severus took it and happily went to the laboratory.

Bert was shut out, staring at the sign—Bert and dogs not allowed!
