Hogwarts.

Salazar was looking at his silent and calm room, as he had always done for the last 1000 years, returning to normal since that boy had gone away and everything seemed ordinary once again as he appeared to relish his solitude in that room, except for the fact that his precious Sara was now dead, which left him quite sad but unable to do anything about it.

But it seemed that this would break today, because the next moment, part of the structure exploded, cracking the place. When he looked towards the location, he saw more punches being inserted at the entrance, causing it to crack even more and begin to crumble.

"Damn, why didn't I think someone might come to break in with brute force?" Salazar could not help but murmur as he saw, once again, the entrance to his precious chamber being destroyed. As soon as the stones flew in all directions, knocking various things down, Snape appeared, with a quite serious look.

"Hello, Salazar. It's been a while..." Snape said, while Salazar just nodded, as there was nothing he could do about it.

Snape walked towards the bookshelves in the room. It had been two days since Snape had received that wizard's investigation, so he gave up looking for anything in the forbidden section, not having success, he thought he might risk some time looking at the exemplars in Salazar's collection.

Snape looked at the portrait that had been staring at him the entire time, before addressing it "I want to know one thing, if you can help me..." He requested.

Salazar slowly stood up. "No, I will not help you." He simply said.

"Alright." Snape shrugged off the refusal while heading to the shelves behind what might indicate the last missing piece of the puzzle that was his mother, father, and the Prince family, especially about his father's uncontrollable rage.

Then after looking at some of the books, he took one to sit down in the chair and begin reading right there. His first book had nothing after reading it for an hour, so he moved to the next while remaining focused not even caring about the portrait that continued to stare at him the entire time.

Thus, he read the third, fourth, fifth and seemed to give up when he reached the twelfth book. "I'm leaving." Snape simply said while Salazar's memory just nodded watching the boy leaving.

"He didn't even fix the door..." He could not help but complain about the hole and all the destruction that Snape had caused still being part of the environment.

The next day, Snape returned to the place, catching Salazar's attention once more. The boy seemed determined on something, and spent another whole day choosing book by book, despite them containing quite interesting information in many of them, Snape ignored this knowledge and sought only what really mattered to him. Salazar, on the other hand, seemed unable to take it anymore and finally broke the silence after two days.

"Boy... what are you looking for in my books...?" Salazar spoke.

And Snape, who was reading his book, looked up while raising an eyebrow at him, remaining silent for a few seconds before speaking. "I'm after something that can change someone's feelings towards another... not that I would want to do something like that, but someone close to me is someone with that... But do you really want to know about it and try to help me?" Snape spoke calmly waiting to see what the portrait would respond.

"You could kill some of my boredom." Salazar responded calmly.

"Will it take time, is that worthy of the great founder of Hogwarts?" He did not fail to raise an eyebrow mocking the man who liked very much to show off and insult him as a half-blood, even though he had not done that in the last while he was here reading his books.
