Enchanted Parchment
Good heavens - it has been a busy day - I have written lots today, as you may have noticed, but have saved my favourite until last, and then I am going to...I don't know. Collapse on the bed, I think! I have no idea how I managed to update all my stories today - but there we go. Maybe it was inspiration day.
Also - new teaser trailer is up on YouTube. Go look! It's my favourite so far. I wish I was talented enough to do a Sev/Albus video!
Anyway - enjoy Enchanted Parchment!

Severus!
Hello, Headmaster.
How is your head? Has it returned to its usual shape?
Yes, thank you, Headmaster.
Good, good! I hope that you had a bearable birthday.
The cake was very nice, thank you, as was your present. You shouldn't have.
Yes, I should. I wanted to ask you something, while I have you here.
I'm not here.
Yes, you are. It's a good question, this time, I think! I was wondering - if you had three wishes, what would they be?
...Where do you get these topics from?
Reading, mostly. So! Three wishes?
I wish for more wishes.
No. No, you can't. You can only have three.
I don't like this wishing system.
Humour me.
Three wishes. One - I don't know.
Shall I help you? Do you know what my first wish would be? More socks.
Do not be ridiculous. You would wish for...Harry Potter to be protected from everything.
Well, no, if I protected him from everything...he would not grow. Maybe I would just protect him from dangerous things - like Voldemort.
I would wish that he had never existed.
Who, Voldemort?
No, Potter.
Severus!
- I'm joking - the Dark Lord. I would wish that he had never existed.
Ah, but, Severus - nothing would be the same if he had not been here - you would not be here, in the first place, and it would be a lesser world.
...You believe that the Dark Lord benefited the world?
He helped us to learn new things - so yes - how to be more vigilant. So, I have now told you that wish is not a good one. Any others?
You know what my wishes would be - but unless I am allowed to change the course of history - I would not be allowed any of them!
I would also wish to change the course of history - but in other ways, I think.
I wish that my friends would be safe.
That's a good one.
Indeed. Can I go now?
You have two more wishes!
Damn it, Dumbledore, I am trying to study! I wish that you would send me those Potions ingredients you promised in October, and that you would remember that I like dark chocolate in my hot chocolate, and not milk. There.
Wishes granted!
I really did not need a hot chocolate now, considering, but thank you for the ingredients. I may go to brew.
Wait! Don't you want to know what my first wish was?
Not really.
It concerns someone you know...
I am not interested in Potter...
I would wish that you would have someone to look out for you - always.
...I...
Could you possibly speak to Quirrell again for me, and try to determine how close he is to searching for the Stone? Thank you Severus - I shall see you later.
What would you wish for, if Albus gave you three wishes? ~ SS19
