Hogwarts: What bad intentions could a little badger have?

"I regret to inform you that there will be no House Cup Quidditch this year." Dumbledore's speech made the students below wail.

"Why?" Fred shouted the loudest.

And his twin brother was not to be outdone, looking at the teapot in his right hand.

It seemed that if Dumbledore couldn't come up with a suitable explanation, he would throw the teapot...to the Slytherins.

There was no way, they didn't dare to throw it at the headmaster, right?

"This is because a large-scale event will officially start in October and last for the entire school year! This event has taken up a lot of teachers' time and energy, so it is really a pity."

"However, I can guarantee that you will definitely get more fun from this event. I am very happy to announce to everyone that this year, Hogwarts will hold an event that has been suspended for more than a century - the Triwizard Tournament... the Four-Nation Tournament!"

"Yes, it was originally the Triwizard Tournament, but a school temporarily joined in, but this is not important... I can only tell you that this is a very meaningful and wonderful event..."

On the stage, Dumbledore was still introducing the history of the previous Triwizard Tournament, the current Four-Nation Tournament, and some rules of the Four-Nation Tournament to be held.

Almost everyone's attention was focused on the headmaster, except for Black, whose attention fell elsewhere.

Now Black is not sitting at the Hufflepuff table as before. As a new professor, he sits in the staff seat, next to Professor Sprout.

And his eyes are now looking at Professor Lupin, who is smiling and listening to Dumbledore.

This year, Moody can't be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Because Moody, who has all his limbs, is now working hard as an Auror in the Ministry of Magic.

So, if Voldemort sneaks into Hogwarts as in the original book, then Professor Lupin is their best target.

However, Black's true eye looked at Professor Lupin's face for a long time, and he didn't see that he had undergone human body transformation by any means...such as Polyjuice Potion.

Could it be that Voldemort changed his method this time? It is also possible that he scared them during the World Cup and they haven't recovered yet? So he didn't have time to implement the plan? Black thinks this is very likely.

Professor Lupin seemed to feel Black's gaze, turned around and looked at Black with a bit of confusion.

However, he still smiled and nodded politely at Black...

At this time, the headmaster had almost finished talking about the content of this competition.

Because the Weasley twins below shouted again, "They can't do this! We will be seventeen next April! Why don't you let us try?"

"Calm down, Fred, you didn'tDid you hear that? Students have died in competitions before."

"Lee Jordan! I'm George!"

"Tsk, how should I know? You're almost identical! ”

……

The students’ opposition could not shake the rules agreed upon by several headmasters and the Minister of Magic during the holidays.

After the headmaster finished speaking, the students had no choice but to be taken back to their dormitories by the prefects to rest.

Rebecca stood in the Slytherin team. After seeing Black’s gaze, she waved at Black with a smile on her face. Cassandra stood next to her.

The Obscurus aura on Rebecca’s body and her past experiences made her, like her ancestors, be sorted into Slytherin by the Sorting Hat. After all, guys like Sirius are rare in the Black family.

Of course, if Rebecca had not experienced those tragedies, maybe she would really be a "rebellious" Black like Sirius.

However, Black also needs to worry about Rebecca. On the one hand, Rebecca is very strong now, and no one can bully her. On the other hand, On the one hand, with Cassandra's care, the little snakes would not touch bad luck.

After the students left, the professors also left one after another. Blake followed them out of the auditorium.

While walking, he recalled his schedule and found that his first class was next Monday...

After all, as an elective course, the school should leave enough time for students to consider whether to take it.

Elective courses are good, which gives Blake enough time to do his own things.

Blake's office and classroom are not in the center of the castle, but are arranged at the edge of the castle, in an empty tower next to the greenhouse.

He moved in last school year.

When Blake returned to the office, it had been cleaned up by his sniff.

At this time, Dabao, who had just finished his busy work, was baking a small cake for himself...

"Well done, Dabao! You saved me a lot of time! I've said it before, Sniff can work too."

"Squeak!" Dabao jumped up and down angrily.

Someone did nothing and could eat and drink in the auditorium, but poor Sniff had to work at home and had no food to eat!

"Pah!"

A money bag fell on the table with a pleasant metal collision sound.

"This is your reward, Dabao. Since you have worked hard, you should be paid... Well, here is your monthly salary. "

Dabao looked at the purse and suddenly felt that the cake was not fragrant. He ran to the purse and opened it impatiently.

One, two...

Dabao happily poured out 20 gold galleons from the purse.

It's not much... but it was earned from the evil Black!

Dabao ZhenAnd Chongdi stuffed these gold galleons one by one into his chest pocket...

Just as Black took a bite of a small cake that Dabao had just baked, he took out a small mirror from his pocket as if he felt something.

This is a two-way mirror. On the other side of the two-way mirror is Lady Marianne.

Because Lady Marianne is a Muggle and cannot use the magic address book, Black gave her a two-way mirror so that she can contact him at any time, which is much faster than an owl.

"Good evening, Lady Marianne." Black smiled.

"Good evening, Black."

"What's the matter?"

"It's like this, Black... did you see... um, Professor Snape tonight?"

Black recalled that just now in the auditorium, Snape was sitting in the staff seat with a coffin face as always.

"Yes, I saw him."

"Well... that's good, it's really good that he's okay." Lady Marian said: "Not long ago, he suddenly brought little Lily to me, and then he never came to see the child... I know how much he loves this child, and it's very abnormal that he has been ignoring her... So, I thought he might have encountered something..."

Blake thought of the Lestrange couple's previous prison break and quickly guessed something.

Snape should be worried that these two former colleagues will come to find him and then find little Lily.

Snape didn't dare to bet on the reaction of these two desperadoes when they saw the child...

Let alone little Lily, he couldn't even be sure whether the two desperadoes would let him, an open "traitor"!

So, Snape would temporarily send little Lily to Lady Marian and face everything alone.

"I think Professor Snape has indeed encountered some problems, but we will help him through the difficulties, please rest assured." Black comforted Lady Marian.

"Okay... I'm glad you're fine. By the way, little Lily has occasionally called daddy." Lady Marian smiled, "I have never seen such a smart child... Well, except you, Black." (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Black's eyes lit up. The child can call daddy? Shouldn't he strengthen Snape? Have some fun, and get some system rewards by the way?

After saying goodbye to Lady Marian, Black looked at his watch.

It's only half past nine now, which is curfew time for Hogwarts.

But for people like Snape, the night has just begun at half past nine in the evening. Maybe he is now mixing some strange potions in his dungeon office.

After Blake ate the small cake in his hand, he left his tower and walked towards the dungeon. []

After Dabao ordered the gold galleons, he ignored Blake who left. His master was a night owl. He knewVery.

However, Dabao's joyful mood immediately fell to the bottom.

How come there is one less cake baked by Ben the Sniff! ?

There are only three creatures in the room. The stupid snake doesn't eat cakes, so who else can steal it?

"Squeak!"

This is exploitation! Naked exploitation!

...

"Bang!"

"Click!"

Black just knocked on the door. The door was opened instantly.

Snape stared at Black with empty eyes, "Is it you? What are you doing here so late?"

"Oh, I've been researching a new potion formula recently. I encountered a little problem, so I want to discuss it with you. Maybe you can give me some inspiration."

Black is researching too many potions. He took out a half-researched potion formula.

"Oh, do you still need to discuss with me?" Snape still had a stern face, but his eyes were already looking at the formula in Black's hand.

Black laughed in his heart. Sure enough, this guy was just tough on the outside, but he was still very enthusiastic when he saw the new potion formula...

"It is not advisable to work behind closed doors for academic issues. Communication can get better results." Black smiled.

Snape turned and walked into the house, but the door was not closed.

Black walked in naturally.

Snape's office was still as cold as ever.

However, what surprised Black was that Snape's crucible, which seemed to have never been empty, was now empty.

Maybe he just came back and didn't have time to make potions?

Black pulled a chair over and sat in front of Snape's desk.

"You didn't close the door." Snape, who was sitting opposite, said expressionlessly.

"Oh. Sorry." Black snapped his fingers and the door was closed.

"Formula." Snape said.

"Here, here you go." Black handed over the formula in his hand.

This is a simplified formula for the Transfiguration Potion. In fact, the Transfiguration Potion awarded by the system, although it is powerful and allows Nagini to regain her human form.

But because the required materials are too precious, it is basically difficult to mass produce.

Therefore, Black planned to simplify it, but he had too much research on hand, so this work was only halfway done and put aside for the time being.

However, even though this is a formula that has been simplified a lot by Black, it is also a good thing awarded by the system.

It is still qualified to take it out to fool Snape at this time.

"Is this the formula of the potion that can make people transform?" Snape frowned.

Black was slightly stunned. He didn't know if it was his illusion. He saw a trace of panic in Snape's eyes?

"Why are you studying the formula of the Transfiguration potion?" Snape looked at the formula whileasked.

Black said calmly: "Because of curiosity. You can't deny that curiosity is the best driving force for human development... If there is no curiosity, why do we do research? Why do we do experiments?"

"Hmph..." Snape didn't comment, but his hand holding the formula seemed to tighten a little...

Black stared at Snape for a while, and suddenly asked: "You just saw it... This is a potion formula that makes people transform?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Snape said, "But what do you think is wrong and want to discuss with me?"

"Oh..." Black took the formula thoughtfully, then took out a piece of paper and a pen, and quickly wrote down the names of more than a dozen materials on the paper.

"It's still too expensive to fake this formula, so I've been looking for cheaper alternatives among these materials... Which of these materials do you think can do the job?"

Snape took the paper and the formula again, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Although these materials are cheap, they can't compare to the original formula in terms of efficacy. In my opinion, they don't need to be replaced. Besides, potions are supposed to be effective, so why do we have to pursue low prices? Besides, the materials in your formula are not very expensive. They are already cheap. There is no need to pursue such extreme cost control, which will affect the efficacy too much."

"Well... you have a point." Black took back the formula and the paper recording the materials. "Well, thank you for your help tonight, then... I'll leave first."

"Please." Snape said. "Remember to close the door when you leave."

Black walked to the door and noticed that Snape picked up a potion book and seemed to be preparing to read.

Tonight, Snape's cauldron seemed to be out of favor.

Black pulled the door, but when the door was about to close, he suddenly asked: "Severus, do you still drink the potion I gave you before?"

Snape was stunned for a moment, then said: "Of course! What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just want to say that the medicine should be used in moderation... Don't indulge too much." Black said, and closed the door.

After the door was closed, the smile on Black's face disappeared instantly.

Originally, he planned to share with Snape that the child would call dad, but he didn't say it, because it was no longer necessary...

After leaving the dungeon, Black did not return to his office, but directly came to the principal's office using the dimensional door.

Dumbledore was wearing a purple nightgown and a blue nightcap, and was leaning on a chair and reading a book.

"... I remember I told you the password, but since you came in so quickly, you must have encountered something urgent..."

When he saw Black suddenly rushing in, Dumbledore put down his book and listened.

"I am indeed a little anxious... Today, the Professor Snape we saw was a fake. ".
