HP: The Moon Over the Magic Academy

Chapter 16 Thinking about Relationships

Severus Snape hurriedly made an excuse and left. He returned to Spider's End and slumped onto his sofa in his home.

Just like when Lily died, he was filled with an aura of sorrow.

He didn't understand why he felt such deep affection for his son, Landric, when it was only their first meeting.

Perhaps it was the power of his bloodline? That made him take Landric to heart the moment he saw him? Or perhaps it wasn't the power of his bloodline? Landric simply exuded a decadent yet vibrant feeling, a feeling that was addictive, making people unconsciously want to get closer to him.

Snape's thoughts drifted back to his first meeting with Landric yesterday. He couldn't forget Landric's appearance; his beautiful phoenix eyes carried a unique oriental nobility and elegance, alluring and captivating, refined yet spirited. Despite being a child cherished by everyone, he exuded an overwhelming sense of powerlessness.

Snape didn't know if Landric had gone through anything, but he felt it was unlikely. He had seen how much the Malfoy family doted on Landric; if the Malfoy family, who always prioritized profit and honor above all else, liked Landric so much, then there was no reason why Tana Rosier wouldn't; she must also love this child very much.

Snape was right about these things. Tana Rozier's love wasn't just affection; it was deep-seated pampering. She wanted to lift her up to the heavens and give her the stars and the moon, and that wouldn't be enough.

Through yesterday's meeting, Snape roughly understood that everyone around Landric was very protective of him, treating him like a fragile treasure.

This made Snape wonder if Landric's health had deteriorated to the point that everyone was being so cautious.

If Landric knew what Severus Snape was thinking, he would probably be speechless again. His health was poor, but not that bad. Congenital deficiencies are not so easy to make up for. However, Landric's body was supported by the Rozier family and the Malfoy family. With the power of the two families, Landric would not suffer because of his poor health.

Meanwhile, Snape was thinking about how to find an opportunity to examine Landric's body.

Suddenly he thought of his godson Draco, and an idea instantly came to him. He could teach Draco potions, so why not teach Landric at the same time?

However, he couldn't let Draco say it directly, otherwise it would be easy for him to see that he had ulterior motives. He had to think of a way to guide Draco, and Draco's dependence on Draco was the best entry point for him.

As for revealing his identity and telling Landric that he was his father, Mr. Snape said it was impossible, absolutely impossible. He would not let Landric know that the irresponsible father who wanted to abandon him before he was even born was his.

He didn't want to see Landric resent him. It would be better if Landric treated him like a stranger. If he could go further, he hoped Landric would treat him as a trusted professor, which would be the best outcome.

Another reason Snape didn't want to reveal that Landric was his child was Dumbledore.

To outsiders, Dumbledore was the great White Lord who saved the wizarding world, but Snape knew that Dumbledore was too cunning and manipulative; he knew how to use people's emotions to achieve his own goals.

Snape didn't want his children to become part of Dumbledore's plans; he was content to walk into the mire alone...

Perhaps he should start planning for his child's future...
