The Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts is always up for business

0221 Foreshadowing and disappearing mice

"The Forgetting Curse cannot completely and cleanly erase the original memory, but with Lockhart's level, it is very difficult for the victim to recover himself, but with these primers, it is easier to wake up the memory some."

Dumbledore put away the crystal ball in the air and motioned Fox to take them out of here.

"Wow~"

Little Phoenix didn't carry out his order immediately, and after getting a signal from Aini, he let out a soft cry and led the five of them into the principal's office.

Leaving Lockhart to the headmaster, Ernie sent the twins to Madam Pomfrey before rushing to the Potions office.

"Sev, be careful during summer activities, big fish are coming out."

Aini added a few crucibles in the workshop, and began to brew the antidote for the trap potion.

"That person? Any news?"

Snape walked between the operating tables, occasionally grabbed materials and threw them into the crucible, stirring them a few times with varying severity.

He will continue to go to Edinburgh during the summer vacation, so he must hurry up and complete the list that Professor McGonagall brought.

"Not yet, but a trace of residual blood has recovered recently."

At that time, Aini provoked Tom's anger, not to let him pass his negative emotions to the main body, but just to give Mr. Riddle a belief in revenge.

First, stabilize the hatred, and then let him know that he can't do anything to the opponent with his own means. The fear before dying magnified Tom's extreme emotions at that time. The ghost lingering in Albania will also make Aini pay the price in the future.

But these are means, not ends.Along with the emotion and strength, there is also Tom's memory.

I believe that Mr. Voldemort, who is currently alone, will be very interested in some of the pictures.

For example, a mouse on the lap of a red-haired boy.

Mere Peter, it's not worth Aini's effort to fabricate a "Hecate".

But risks and benefits always go hand in hand, and our Potions professor has played far more times than rats in Tom's memory.

And in comparison, Snape's status in Voldemort's heart is far from that of Peter's, whether it is in what he considers "loyalty", character, or personal ability.

For Voldemort, whose ability has declined and who is in urgent need of his subordinates, Snape is more...

...a more dangerous existence!

A person who has no friendship and no loyalty will not believe in other people's feelings for him, and will not believe that others will be absolutely loyal to him.

When the boss is weak, nothing is more dangerous than a once great and loyal subordinate.

The enemy killed him, at most let Voldemort continue to lurk for a longer period of time, and there will still be a response when he makes a comeback.

But if the weak Dark Lord falls into the hands of a rebel capable subordinate, the other party is likely to step on him to the leader of the faction.

His direct lineage will be purged, and the rest will also be branded by the other party. Even if one day Voldemort returns strongly and accepts them again without blaming the past, those people will no longer work hard.

let bygones be bygones

Pooh!Which traitor would believe it?

At that time, his power will shrink sharply, and no one wants him dead more than those "turning back" subordinates.

Therefore, Voldemort will never contact Snape until he has the strength to completely overwhelm Snape.

So for the time being, Snape was safe, and there was no need to trap himself to death in Hogwarts Castle.

Especially since he has more things to do than his own life.

However, it is not ruled out that the Dark Lord will try a little bit, and he still has to be cautious and try not to show his feet. After all, maybe when he can join forces with Snape to play him again.

After talking with Snape in detail, Aini went to the school infirmary with the completed antidote.

The new batch of mandrakes would have to wait for a few more days to mature, the petrified students were still lying on their beds, and the twins were fine, but Madam Pomfrey was not in a hurry to wake them up.

The two of them went through a small ordeal, and both suffered some injuries. It is not bad to sleep for a long time under the effect of the water of life and death.

Lockhart was "forced" to stay in the hospital for recuperation. At Aini's request, Dumbledore did not immediately hand him over to the Ministry of Magic. It is obviously more meaningful to continue to serve as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts than to join Azkaban.

No way, after Bagilisk woke up, the magic power share that powered it during hibernation had nowhere to be consumed, and a large amount of it was transformed into curse power.

Aini didn't even have to deliberately activate his perception, he could detect the faint black air circling in the magic vein of the castle.

After opening the magic eye, the observation becomes clearer. The black curse power in the field of vision is entangled in the green veins, like a ferocious serpent with an astonishing size, spitting out a large amount of venom.

Well, the current drop point of the venom is Mr. Lockhart, and the power of the curse falls into the body of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor all the time.

As long as the next semester continues to pick up Pan Xia in time, the power of the curse can be controlled within the safety threshold, and it will not cause irreparable negative effects on the magic nodes and contract system.

In this regard, Dumbledore and Ernie, on behalf of all the faculty and staff, thanked Professor Lockhart for his contribution to maintaining the stability of the Hogwarts magical pipe network.

As for what he did, Dumbledore also chose not to make it public for the time being. Anyway, Tom took advantage of Lockhart's body to beat his addiction to teaching. Not only did the Defense Against the Dark Arts class this school year not waste time, but the progress was far ahead , I believe that there will be a turnaround in the next OWLs and NEWTs.

Everything that follows is logical.

The Horcrux was destroyed, Lockhart fell into a coma, and Principal Dumbledore became the treasurer again, and he didn't return to school until the students were on holiday.

Vice-principal McGonagall also turned on the regular rage mode accordingly, with a more serious face. The senior students all turned into Congxin little quails in class, and they were very envious of the juniors having an easy-going professor of transfiguration.

However, Snape was too busy to trouble the little lion because he had to rush to finish the two-month summer order, which made the Gryffindor students have a lot easier in Potions class.

Aini, like other professors, does some small research of his own after teaching, and lives a fulfilling and peaceful life.

Hermione was so busy that this year, a certain unscrupulous professor not only finished writing the textbooks for the third and fourth grades, but even wrote more than half of the textbooks for the fifth grades. In addition, the exam was approaching, and he had to organize and plan the Transfiguration Society During the activities, the girls began to fantasize about learning the magic of avatars and splitting themselves into several parts for use.

Harry had nothing to say, he slept soundly every night after learning Occlumency, his relationship with the Dursleys improved, he no longer hated going back to Muggle society, and Lupine promised to visit him before the end of the summer, It also made the boy look forward to a little more.

All in all, the little wizards had a lot of fun when everyone boarded the train.

Only Ron was in a bad mood. To be precise, he was sad for a full month——

Scabbers is gone...
