HP: At the beginning, I influenced Snape's childhood.

Under Snape's magic, the book could be turned automatically at any time, and Lin Mo seemed to forget that he was still tied up as he read the book attentively.

Both were engrossed in their own activities until nightfall, when Snape finally looked up and slightly moved his neck. Seeing Lin Mo engrossed in reading on the sofa, Snape frowned slightly, got up, and walked out of the cellar.

Hearing the sound, Lin Mo looked up at Snape and saw him walk away. For some reason, he felt a little lost.

Not long after, Snape pushed open the door, brought in the food, and placed it in front of Lin Mo.

Lin Mo sat on the sofa, looking pitifully at Snape who was standing there. Snape saw Lin Mo's expression and glared at him fiercely.

Then Snape reached out and untied the rope binding Lin Mo's hands. Perhaps because it had been tied for a while, or perhaps because Snape had tied it tightly, red marks appeared on Lin Mo's wrists.

Feeling his bound hands suddenly free, Lin Mo moved them slightly.

"Eat your food." Snape looked at Lin Mo's hands and said coldly, "After you finish eating, take your potions and get back to your place." He then placed two bottles of potions with "SS" engraved on the bottom on the table and sat back down at his desk with a huff.

Seeing Snape's duplicity, Lin Mo felt much better and quickly started eating. Soon, Lin Mo finished cleaning up the mess and carefully tucked the two bottles of potions into his pocket.

He rose and approached the wooden door, saying to Snape, "Sir, I'm going back now. Get some rest."

Snape didn't look up at him. Lin Mo opened the wooden door to the cellar and continued, "And also... next time, sir, tie me up lightly." After saying that, he left the cellar, closed the door, and ran away in a flash.

Even through the door, Lin Mo could still hear Snape's voice: "Get out!"

Snape cursed as he glanced at the two bottles of potions Lin Mo had made on the desk. His expression softened momentarily, but he still muttered, "What a troublesome brat..."

You little liar, you can't even come up with a decent excuse for lying. Humph, you forgot you opened the door in my name? And you're even trying to be evasive while lying…

Snape himself was unaware that the flickering firelight in the cellar reflected the brilliance in his eyes; in the long-empty abyss, there was now a captivating spark.

A——L——W——A——Y——S

In the afternoon, Lin Mo received a message from Hedwig that the group of five was preparing to move out. Perhaps because all of this was a scheme orchestrated by Dumbledore, the headmaster, who was in charge, left Hogwarts, and Snape seemed to know about the group's actions as well.

Just as Lin Mo was about to set off, a Slytherin student told him that the Headmaster was looking for him. Lin Mo had no choice but to go to the cellar first.

"Sir, you wanted to see me?" Lin Mo said as he entered the room.

Snape looked up at Lin Mo and said, "Come here." Then he took out a rope from the drawer. It hadn't been altered with a Transfiguration Charm and looked like it had been prepared specifically for this purpose.

Seeing this, Lin Mo could only "reluctantly" turn around and let Snape tie his hands. Snape looked at him with satisfaction and said with interest, "Mr. Lin, is the binding a little looser this time?"

"No, sir. I was just saying it casually last time, why did you take it seriously?" Lin Mo was on the verge of tears, and at Snape's prompting, he walked to the sofa and sat down.

"Don't even think about becoming a warrior, Mr. Lin. You'd better stay here obediently." Snape's gaze seemed to see through everything.

Having said that, he ignored Lin Mo and turned to leave the cellar.

"Hahahaha, Xiao Mo, you got your tongue out, now you're tied up again." Changfeng said with a tone of amusement.

"I didn't expect him to take it seriously, did I?" Lin Mo thought to himself, but his hand moved slightly, preparing to break free of the rope.

Perhaps because Snape had tied him up quite loosely this time, and because Lin Mo was good at untying himself, he quickly untied himself.

Before leaving, Lin Mo glanced at the hemp rope on the sofa and thought to himself: I'm sorry, sir, I failed to live up to your protection, but some things need to be done, and this is not limited to the savior in the eyes of wizards.

The door closed, and the stone serpent at the entrance seemed to want to speak but couldn't, unable to report to Snape. Lin Mo quickly walked to where Cerberus was.

Looking at the three-headed hellhound in front of him, who seemed somewhat close to him yet also showed some fear of his leader, Lin Mo felt a sudden surge of annoyance.

"No, it was you who bit my husband?" Lin Mo thought to himself, and kicked the Cerberus's butt twice, which was wagging its tail.

"Woof...woof~" Cerberus looked at Lin Mo with teary eyes.

If Lin Mo hadn't thought that having to use dog language to communicate with Cerberus would be too inelegant, he would definitely have had a serious talk with it right now.

"Shut up, don't hang around in front of me, or I'll kick you every time I see you!" Lin Mo couldn't hold back any longer and shouted loudly as he watched the fat three-headed dog whining at him with a resentful look on its face.

Of course, he didn't want to use dog language. Adhering to the principle that wolves and dogs are one family, Lin Mo moved his throat, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, and his wolf howl was long and deep, with an undeniable power.

"Woo woo..." Cerberus could indeed understand a little. It howled twice more and then quickly shut up, wriggling its fat body to make way for Lin Mo.

After getting off the trapdoor, Lin Mo quickly overcame the obstacle and the five people reunited at the location where they were looking for the key to flight.

Upon meeting, Xiaolong immediately asked, "Mo, where have you been? We've looked everywhere you usually go, but we couldn't find you, except... in the Godfather's office."

You know, not long ago when Lin Mo got two bottles of calming potion from Snape's office, everyone was bombarding him with questions and looking at him like he was a god.

"Yes, Professor Snape wants to see me about something, don't worry," Lin Mo reassured the group.

"Alright, alright," before the others could ask any questions, Lin Mo spoke in a coaxing tone, "Harry, are you confident you can catch that key?" As he spoke, he pointed to a special key.

"I'm confident, watch me." Harry mounted his flying broomstick. Draco watched Harry fly from below, a hint of worry in his eyes, but no competitive spirit in his expression.

Of course, Harry, with his excellent genes, easily caught the key and landed quickly. Lin Mo watched Harry leave the flying broomstick and nodded approvingly: "Great job, Harry."

Hearing Lin Mo's praise, Harry scratched his head shyly and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, we all know that your flying skills are much better than mine."

"Keep it low-key, keep it low-key." Lin Mo smiled and did not deny it. His flying skills were even better than Harry's, after all, cheating and genetic inheritance are not the same thing.

As for why Lin Mo doesn't participate in Quidditch, one reason is that he belongs to two houses, and participating in only one would be unfair. Participating in two teams would make it impossible to deal with the Slytherin and Ravenclaw matches, and it would be too troublesome.

On one hand, Lin Mo didn't really like riding flying broomsticks; he felt inexplicably... a bit silly. On the other hand, the real feel of the earth made Lin Mo feel more stable, solid, and safe.

Finally, Snape also disliked flying, and to avoid being ridiculed by Snape, Lin Mo wisely chose not to join the Quidditch team.

Author's ramblings: Why do other people write so well (ಥ_ಥ)? I'm heartbroken, my fragile heart is shattered (no, I'm not).

I feel that both Spellbound and Mo's character designs are somewhat out of character (OOC), but please don't interpret them based on the original plot. Mo actually changed a lot during Spellbound's childhood. Mo's appearance reminds Spellbound of his past self, naturally making him feel different towards Mo and more willing to approach him; this is actually something subconscious.

Xiao Mo's personality has changed a lot compared to his previous life because he has so many people protecting him in this life. In addition, the fact that he is in the body of a child and the regrets of his childhood have made him a little childish, such as acting spoiled and following his heart.

The feelings between the two may be somewhat ambiguous in these chapters, but it is not love. The current ambiguity is more like the trust that comes from the extreme similarity between two lonely and calm souls.

This trust and the feeling of being able to entrust one's back to someone is inconsistent with the exclusivity that has become a habit. In fact, this feeling can suppress subconscious alienation and thus bring people closer together.

It is a complex interaction between souls that cannot be controlled by human power.
