A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 559: Reason of last resort

Felix knocked on the door of the basement. Snape was wearing a black jacket that had never changed for thousands of years. His curly black hair was stuck to the back of his head. His motionless black eyes always reminded Felix of that day in the courtyard. Grilled fish eaten in the cold wind.

The person who opened the door silently stepped aside, revealing Professor Bubaji lying on the table. Her hair was disheveled like a pile of straw, and her wide glasses were like a pitchfork stuck in the hay. Professor Bubbaji is carefully examining a flower pot.

"Am I missing something?" Felix asked cheerfully.

"You came just in time, Felix." Professor Bubaji said excitedly, his face still not moving away from the flower pot, "I told Severus, I must wait for you to come and witness this scene"

"There's nothing to witness," said Snape.

He slammed the door shut, strode over to the table, and took a glass bottle from his coat pocket. "Excuse me," he said coldly, and Professor Bubbaji stepped aside, holding his breath as Snape carefully uncorked the bottle and dropped a drop of liquid into the flower pot.

A magical scene happened.

A small bag bulged from the brown soil in the flowerpot, revealing a faint touch of green. Under the silent gaze of the three of them, a few minutes later, a palm-sized green bud swayed gently in the flowerpot.

"Is this" Felix asked.

"Rejuvenation potion, a magical potion that makes plants germinate," said Snape.

"Don't you need to add rejuvenation potion? I remember that the combination of these two potions can restore most of the withered plants to health." Felix asked curiously.

"There's no need to waste it," said Snape, "The seeds provided by Bubaji are nutritious in themselves."

"Can I take it back with me?" implored Professor Bubbaji, looking anxiously at the seedlings in the pots.

"Oh, no." Felix said immediately, "We agreed."

He wants to take this potted plant to test, mainly to see the changes in the nutrients in the soil and the growth of subsequent plants. Bubaji also knew this, but he was reluctant to part with it. Now she looked at Snape pitifully again, "Severus"

"I only made this bottle of potion." Snape snorted, "Use the simplest ingredients according to someone's request."

Felix comforted Professor Bubaji and said: "There is no need to worry, Caredi, there is enough time. We only need to understand the first step from the germination, growth, flowering, and fruiting of seeds, and the normal Compared with the growth cycle, can it be accelerated by at least half a month?" He asked Professor Bubaji.

"Yes, absolutely." She said confidently.

"That's enough." Felix said: "Don't feel insignificant, it's great to study this process thoroughly, and it's completely worthy of a Merlin Medal."

Professor Bubbaji left with a red face, and now she wants to apply to Principal Dumbledore for a piece of land to build an experimental greenhouse.

"Sprout will certainly be able to help, and she would be happy to." Snape said dryly at the door, hoping that she would trouble him less in the future. Turning his head, he found that the culprit was sitting leisurely on the sofa and flipping through a magazine.

"What did you think of again, the new hole card?" He said sarcastically.

"I was wondering if the Avada Kedavra can kill the bacteria in the water, well, I'm joking, forget it." Felix saw the expression on Snape's face and said hastily. "I have something to tell you. Mr. Scamander has found a way to make the snails reproduce stably. He said in his letter that the larvae of the snails are flooding now. He asked me if I need it"

Snape thought for a moment.

"The slime of the snail larvae is corrosive, but if it is handled well, it can remove the properties of specific potion materials, so it is an excellent auxiliary ingredient."

"Then you'd better publish a few articles to help promote it." Felix said.

Snape nodded, which was what he hoped too. The office fell silent, Snape stared at the specimen jar on the shelf against the wall and said, "Someone told me that you have Laclau's diadem in your hand"

"Dumbledore said?" Felix asked.

"Not him," said Snape.

Felix frowned. Only Dumbledore knew about it. He never showed it himself, mainly because he felt too ashamed and kept using it secretly. On the contrary, Varen wore it for a while when he first started studying, but Varen didn't know what it was, other than that

"Did someone from the Ministry of Magic tell you?" Felix said while pondering, "But even if there are not many people in the Ministry of Magic who know about it, such important filings are generally not taken seriously. , unless someone deliberately looks for it, I understand."

Voldemort reached into the Ministry of Magic anyway.

"What's that?" Snape said softly, he'd been meaning to ask. "It cannot be simply a relic of Rowena Laclaw. Although it is said that her crown can increase people's wisdom, the Dark Lord attaches far more importance to the crown than the legend itself."

Felix fell silent. The less people knew about the Horcrux's secrets, the better, but now that Sirius knew he was hesitant, his biggest worry was that Severus would deduce the secret that Harry was a half-Horcrux himself. In fact, Sirius was also a hidden danger, but Sirius didn't know much about horcruxes, especially he didn't know that living things could be used to make horcruxes, and Severus had a chance to know the existence of that snake.

"Is it related to his secret of immortality?" Snape asked in a low voice.

He carefully observed the expression on Felix's face. Although he found nothing, a moment of silence was enough for him to deduce part of the truth.

Snape didn't ask any more, but changed the subject and said, "The Dark Lord found out about this information through a spy from the Ministry of Magic. He asked me to make indirect remarks, but I think it's better to ask you directly. I've had enough trouble, I don't want to Waste of time"

Felix smiled, "This is indeed the most time-saving way. Maybe Voldemort will praise you for your efficiency."

"I'm not going to report right away," said Snape. "The Dark Lord attaches great importance to this matter, even more than his desire for the thing in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. He revealed to me that he will find an opportunity to arrange it." The spies cooperate with me."

"Come to school?" Felix thought it was funny.

The plan was good, but with Snape around, it seemed ridiculous. He didn't pay much attention to it. If the spies were arrested now, Snape's undercover identity would probably be exposed. Felix guessed that Dumbledore might have his way, and waited for the spies to fall into the trap, and then it would depend on who would come. school.

He was inexplicably looking forward to it.

Voldemort only had one Horcrux next to him now, so he probably felt extremely insecure, but he didn't know whether the golden cup belonged to himself or Bellatrix Lestrange. From every point of view, Voldemort is not the only person who entrusts his only wealth and life to his subordinates. then

Felix tried to simulate what Voldemort was thinking at this moment: what would he do if I were him in Voldemort's situation?

First of all, the safety of the Horcrux must be confirmed.

I clearly know that there are three horcruxes that were destroyed, diaries, snakes, and rings; the horcruxes whose status cannot be determined include crowns and lockets. The crown might be in the school, well, I don't know at the moment on Felix Hepp. And the locket "Where are you going to spend your Christmas break, Severus?" Felix asked, looking up. Snape looked at him in astonishment, and replied reluctantly for a while: "I'm going to do something in the Order of the Phoenix." Felix looked away, good, I understand, so I suspected that the locket was stolen by a former servant. Regulus had died more than ten years ago. If the Horcrux hadn't been destroyed, it was most likely in that old Black house that he couldn't enter.

What else?

I also know that I have some kind of connection with Harry Potter at school. Having to use Occlumency to protect my brain for the past two months is frustrating, but right now it's the best way because I'm not sure if this connection will extend to other horcruxes, damn, only half said prophecy! Damn Harry Potter! Now I must ensure that the only Horcrux is under my nose, and I must never separate it from the Jinbei unless there is a last resort

Felix thought hard, he was going to find out the reason now. He continued to think:

There are two other people on the same level as him in the wizarding world. If they fall into the trap, they will be lost. Therefore, I must be careful enough, but I know that one of them will die soon. Mind giving him a ride when he was at his weakest, that feeling must be wonderful. The premise is that he holds a Horcrux that is crucial to me

Felix suddenly understood.

Is this Dumbledore's plan? Using Horcruxes to catch Voldemort? But this battle seems to have no place of its own, it is completely a one-on-one situation between Dumbledore and Voldemort

"What can I do?" Felix asked himself. "Yeah, it's so easy, I should have known." He said happily.

Of course I took the opportunity to get the last Horcrux.

This is the last resort reason Voldemort and the Golden Cup Horcrux had to be separated, no one would be stupid enough to take their other life to participate in a life-and-death duel, even if the opponent is a sick child, and the only person Voldemort can entrust is Bellatrix Lestrange.

Snape stared at Felix who was talking to himself, ignorant of his complicated mental activities.

"Would you like to play a game of Crackling Explosion, Severus?" Felix asked in a good mood. Valley

Of course the cards didn't work out.

Felix came out of the Potions office. The notice board in the foyer still had a list of the student clubs posted, but that was three weeks ago.

Christmas is coming soon.

Felix plans to go to Newt's house to update his material library during his vacation. At the same time, he is also planning to travel around the world and take the opportunity to collect some rare magical animals. When he passed a huge armor in the corridor, he suddenly stopped and looked carefully, there seemed to be some kind of magic hidden in it

The helmet of the armor creaked and slowly lowered his head, looking at Felix.

Felix: ""

"Kang Dang, Bang Dang, Bang Dang"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa"

Felix stopped knocking on the armor, turned his head to look at the light-colored furious eyes of the administrator Filch, and asked with some embarrassment: "Mr. Filch?"

"Professor Hype, I thought" Filch muttered, "I was just chasing Peeves, and he got a bubble gun from somewhere, and there were colorful bubbles all over the ceiling. Bubbles may be Zuko’s new product, I must report”

Felix waited silently for Filch to leave. "Bang Dang! Bang Dang!" He knocked twice, the armor finally seemed to be unbearable, and he opened the mask on the helmet and began to retch.

"By the way, Professor Haip, I want to ask." Filch, who had gone away, came back again, with an embarrassed and flattering expression on his face, but he was stunned when he saw Felix's actions , Felix also had some headaches, he just wanted to check this strange piece of armor.

At this moment, the armor laughed exaggeratedly, and opened its mouth to spit out a red envelope, which slowly fell from the air under the gaze of the two.

"Oh," said Felix softly, recognizing what it was. The roaring letter started to smoke and then burst into flames. He took a few steps back and reached out to grab it, confining the sound to the foyer. After a few seconds, the cheerful voice of the Weasley twins, amplified hundreds of times, rang out:

"It doesn't matter if you're Peeves or Filch or a kid who failed a test or"

Fred and George's voices alternate:

"You are great"

"Of course it's also mischievous"

"Adventurous"

"Caught countless times"

"Indomitable"

"Repeated"

"Undesirable number one!" The voices began to gather here, and Filch's face turned purple. The roaring letter continued to roll happily in the air, "Hurry up! We have provided you with plenty of help, as long as you and I have a good understanding!"

"Bang!" The roaring letter exploded into a ball of flames, and colorful fireworks flew out from it, and finally all disappeared.

After an embarrassing silence.

Felix patted the ashes on his body. Although his teeth were itching with hatred, he still pretended to be calm and asked: "Mr. Filch, did you forget any tools?"

"Oh, uh, yes." Filch said vaguely, the sagging flesh on his face quivering unnaturally. Passing by Felix, Felix heard him swearing the Weasley twins' names repeatedly.

While Filch was walking towards the office, Felix also quickly slipped out of the castle. After stepping on the stone steps and taking a few breaths of dry, cold air, he relaxed.

Felix saw that Filch had something to say to him, and he might even have been preparing for a long time, but the timing just now was indeed a bit subtle. Let's talk about it later. If he heard the news of the Weasley twins being locked up, he would definitely think of what happened today.

Felix made his way down the steps. Seeing Warren having fun from a distance, he grinned, then turned around, walked through the greenhouse and vegetable field, and came to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. After apparating a few times, he was standing on the edge of the cave where the giant Glop spent the winter.

There was a loud "bang bang" sound from inside, and small stones rolled down from the cracks in the rock above his head. Felix smelled a mixture of musty and straw.

The sound of "Glop biting a lion" was deafening.

"Shut up! You idiot!" Hagrid yelled loudly, "Go and brush your teeth."

There was another slamming sound, which sounded like venting dissatisfaction.

"Ouch!" Hagrid covered his face in pain and ran out, panting, his moleskin coat was torn a few times.

"Are you all right, Hagrid?"

"Felix?" Hagrid said in surprise, he smiled and pulled the stones out of his beard: "It's okay, little Gramp is just kidding with me, he's making rapid progress, even if he loses his temper I can't bear to hit people anymore." His tone became low, "Although there is still a possibility of being accidentally injured."

"Are you showing him a movie?" Felix glanced into the cave, from this angle he could only see a huge dirty foot,

"Yeah," said Hagrid happily, "little Gramp likes small animals, as much as I do! I'm going to take him to the Forbidden Forest to meet some friends when the time is right, and he won't have to tie the rope anymore, but not now, I can only show him the movie. He has never seen a lion, and he is very curious about this thing. I plan to give him the book you gave me~IndoMTL.com~Felix was in a daze, remembering the first time he came to the door The set of books he gave Hagrid when he was at the age of 10, had pictures of various Muggle animals on it.

At this time, there was another pounding sound from the cave, and Felix saw the big foot beating the ground like a drum.

"Shut up! I'm talking to Philly!" Hagrid yelled into the cave.

"Philly? Felich Mihager Sirihalirong" Gropp growled inside.

Hagrid said helplessly: "His English is still not standard, and he is very stubborn. He thinks Hali sounds better"

"What's going on at school?" he asked gruffly.

"Oh, no. It's a private matter." Felix said, "I want to know the address of the tribe of giants. Of course I know they have gone deep into the mountains. I mean, in which direction they ran. ’” he added quickly, seeing that Hagrid was about to speak.

"You don't want to deal with them, do you?" Hagrid muttered uncomfortably, "They are miserable, there are not many left."

"I can't do it, but I think it is necessary to confirm their situation. You must know that they have disappeared from the wizard's sight for a long time."

Hagrid was stunned for a while, "Well, I can only tell you the approximate location, is there a map?"

"I collected a bunch"

When Felix reappeared, he had come to the edge of the Black Lake.

Varren is standing on the ice and skating. Some student conjured up a pair of skates for it, but judging from its movements alone, it can skate much better than most Hogwarts students.

"Varren, come one more!" A student shouted excitedly.

Valen happily took out his exclusive magic wand, waved it casually, a gust of wind rolled up the snowflakes on the ice, like a tumbling snow dragon, Varen rushed straight into the whirlwind, and the little yellow hat and scarf filled the sky Flying high in the snow.
