Draco wanted to invite Pessatuben to his house this Christmas, but Pessatuben said he needed to go back to the manor to do some research.

Draco refused.

Although Pessatuben didn't want to spend Christmas at home, he didn't do it on purpose.

Nie??

Since he had obtained the seed and Severus' blood, Pessatuben needed to move on to the next step of his plan.

Pessatuben asked for leave in advance and told the principal that he would return to school before Christmas Eve. Pessatuben took the two precious things back to the manor.

"Gigi!"

Pessatuben called out to Gigi as soon as he returned to the manor. "Did you tidy up the things I asked you to in the basement?"

Gigi patted her chest. "Gigi did everything Master asked me to do!"

"Good. I'm going to the basement. Don't disturb me."

"Yes, Master. Gigi won't let anyone, including the house elves, disturb Master!"

Arriving in front of an inconspicuous wall, Posaturben reached out his hand and drew a pattern in the air. Following a series of cracking sounds, the wall in front of Posaturben split open, revealing a staircase hidden behind the wall that led downwards without limit.

The staircase was cursed. Even if the door could be opened, the intruder would still be unable to reach the end of the staircase.

This secret room could only be entered by the Prince family's head and the people recognized by the family head.

The secret room was wide and bright.

The walls were inlaid with glowing stones. In the innermost part, there were tools needed to make potions. There was also a secret passage used to transport potion materials.

One of the walls was set up as a bookshelf. There were books that didn't exist in the outside world.

Pessatuben planted the seed in the center of the secret room.

The seed was five meters tall.

There was still a fair distance between the top of the tree and the roof.

There was a hole in the middle of the tree that was as tall as a person. At the bottom of the hole, there was a hole that looked man-made but was actually naturally formed. The hole was used to plant the seed.

Pessatuben placed the seed in the center of the hole and took out a small bottle filled with a red liquid.

The liquid was Severus' blood that Pessatuben had extracted from the cotton cloth.

He took out his wand and used his magic to guide the blood to completely envelop the seed.

After the seed absorbed the blood, it turned from green to red, which meant success.

He buried it with soil.

Pessatuben produced many glass bottles about the size of two fists.

He cut his palm and guided his blood into the bottles.

In order to gather enough blood to last until the next holiday, Posatuben had obviously prepared a lot of blood tonics.

After filling up five bottles, the blood tonic also lost its effect. Bosatu started to feel a little light-headed.

He took out a bottle of water and poured it on the soil. Then, a small sprout emerged from the soil.

At this rate, it to fully grow to mature to to grow.

It was no wonder that many people had to be sacrificed in order to grow quickly in his previous world.

Pessatuben put away the rest of the empty bottles. The bottles left here were enchanted and would automatically be filled at regular intervals. Then, he dragged his tired body back to the Hogwarts.

Most of the students in Slytherin had gone home for Christmas.

Pessatuben cleaned himself up and went to the auditorium. A Christmas tree was placed in the auditorium, and only a few students were discussing topics of interest.

Pessatuben saw Ron and Harry playing Magician's Chess. He went over to greet them.

"Hi, Harry."

Harry looked back. "Pösa — why are you here?"

"Although I don't have much of a problem with you."

Ron said, "But I'm still angry about what happened with Snape. I think you owe Harry an explanation."

Pessatuben looked at Harry. In response, Harry sized him up.

It seemed that Hermione had told them everything that had happened.

"I can only say that Snape will never hurt Harry. I guarantee it with my life."

Ron shrugged. Hermione walked over. "Oh, you've already packed your luggage."

"You haven't?" Hermione asked.

"The plan has changed," Ron said. "My parents have decided to go to Romania to find my brother, Charlie. He's studying dragons there!"

"That's great. Maybe you can help Harry …" Hermione was about to say, but seeing Pessatuben here, she didn't finish her sentence. "Help Harry find some books. He needs some information. You know that."

Then, she glanced at Pessatuben. "You look very haggard." Then, she walked away.

"What are you looking for?" Pessatuben asked.

Harry and Ron exchanged glances. In the end, Harry had the upper hand.

"It's about Nicole Lemay."

"But we've already looked for it more than a hundred times."

Pessatuben thought for a moment. "Have you tried the forbidden area?"

"Forbidden area?" "Forbidden area?"

"The library of Hogwarts has the most complete collection of books in the world. Unless you're in the wrong place."

The next morning, Pessatuben received a gift from Draco. It was a golden snitch. It seemed that Draco was very dissatisfied that he didn't know about Quidditch. He even added a long list of benefits about Quidditch.

After leaving Severus' office that night, he secretly cast an illusion spell on himself. After waiting for a long time, Severus finally came out.

Severus came out and looked around. Just when Pessatuben thought that he had been discovered, Severus turned around and walked in a certain direction.

As if on purpose, Severus found Chilo.

Chilo saw Severus and panicked.

"Snape … Snape …"

Severus grabbed his collar and pressed him against the wall. "Don't think of me as' your 'enemy, Chilo."

"Then … then why are you looking for me?" Chilo stuttered.

"You know very well, don't you?"

Suddenly, Severus turned his head and looked in a certain direction. Pessatuben thought of a certain nocturnal kid.

Severus reached out and grabbed in that direction, but there was nothing there. He started to feel suspicious. He put Chilo aside and said, "Let's call it a day. When you decide who you want to be loyal to, we'll talk again."

Severus shook off Chilo and looked in the direction he had heard the noise.

It was obvious that a certain nocturnal kid didn't control the volume of his footsteps.

Pessatuben stretched out his leg and tripped Chilo who was trying to escape.

Severus looked back at Chilo who had fallen on the ground. He seemed to be mocking him.

"Professor Snape, I found this in the library's restricted area."

Filch came over with an extinguished lamp. "It's still hot. I think a student must have snuck in."

Filch looked angry and happy. He felt that he could punish the student who had broken the rules after telling the professor about it.

The landlord's silly son. Did he forget the necklace I gave him? Pessatuben thought.

Pessatuben turned around when he saw Severus running toward the library.

The wooden door opened and closed without anyone around.

As expected, Harry hadn't left.

Pessatuben quickly restrained his breath and followed him.

Was this the main character effect?

Or maybe Dumbledore had deliberately led him on.

The room Harry had opened was where the Eris Magic Mirror was kept.

Bang! Pessatuben made a noise on the door.

Harry couldn't see him because of the Illusion Spell. He could only ask in a panic, "Who is it?

Who is it? "

Pessatuben realized that Harry couldn't see him and removed the Illusion Spell.

"Pösa?!" Harry was surprised.

"Shh —" Pessatuben raised his finger. "I just want to confirm something."

"Okay, what is this place?" Harry looked around as he walked. "Hey, what is this?"

A huge mirror was placed in the middle of the room.

Pessatuben followed Harry to the mirror.

A circle of words was carved on the mirror. The two slowly approached.

After a while, Harry pulled Pessatuben's sleeve. "Pösa, I see my parents.

They're right next to me.

Look! "Harry pointed at the mirror.

"Sorry, I don't see anything, Harry.

You're still the same person in the mirror. "Pessatuben looked at the scene in front of him that was completely different from what Harry had described.

When Pessatuben looked at Harry in the mirror, he only saw Harry giggling. But when he looked at himself, he suddenly covered his face. If it wasn't for the dim light, Pessatuben would have seen the blush on his face.

Pessatuben saw Severus standing next to him in the mirror. He smiled at him and kissed his forehead intimately.

"You really didn't see anything?

That's impossible!

How could this be … "Harry sounded very disappointed.

"I think it's getting late. Harry, let's call it a night." Pessatuben picked up Harry's cloak from the ground. "Don't get caught next time.

Use the necklace well. "

"How did you —" Harry asked in surprise. But before he could finish, Pessatuben had already disappeared.

He watched Harry leave, then came back with Ron to confirm, then returned disappointed.

Pessatuben dispelled the Illusion Spell and turned to face the mirror.

The scene in the mirror was still the same as before.

'No, I can't be greedy. It's enough.'

Pessatuben closed his eyes and opened them again. There was nothing in the mirror. But soon, Severus' figure appeared again.

'So he still wants more.' Pessatuben clenched his fists and frowned.

"You're still here." An old voice sounded behind Pessatuben.

Pessatuben greeted him without turning his head. "Headmaster Dumbledore."

"Seems like you know more than I thought, child." Dumbledore walked forward and put his hand on Pessatuben's shoulder.

"Are you addicted to the pleasure of the Eris Magic Mirror? What did you see, child?"

Pessatuben didn't answer the question.

"Headmaster, is there really someone in this world who is so happy that they can only see themselves in the mirror?"

Pessatuben was very curious. People's desires were always born, and there was always something that made them feel that they weren't happy enough.

"You always give me a deep feeling, child. I thought you knew yourself well enough," Dumbledore said. "You know what you want the most, don't you?"

'I want to finish the plot safely and save Severus.'

"Headmaster, would you sacrifice yourself for this world?

What did you see? "
