Hogwarts: What bad intentions could a little badger have?

"Oh, so that's it..." Black rubbed his head which was aching from sleeping, and listened to Baker's report to him in a daze.

"It's okay for Severus to cover the painting. In fact, as long as he accepts the painting, it means that he already knows that we understand the situation."

Black picked up a cup of refreshing potion and drank it. The headache caused by staying up all night gradually subsided.

"Master Black, Professor Dumbledore asked Baker to help secretly observe Professor Snape. Should Baker follow the headmaster's order?"

"It's okay, just do what he says." Black's eyes regained clarity.

"Master Black, Baker will naturally follow your orders, but if Baker is busy, who can help Baker take care of you?" Baker looked at Black with concern.

When he came back just now, he found Black's messy bedroom and almost fainted with shame.

Letting the master's bedroom become so messy is simply the biggest sin for a house elf!

Even if you are busy with other things, you can't forget the essential work!

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay to be a little messy, I'm used to it. Go quickly, the task that Professor Dumbledore asked you to do is very important, and you must pay attention to safety."

Black has a lot of secrets, so he doesn't want others to enter his bedroom casually, even the school's house elves, so his bedroom has never been tidied.

"Yes... Baker understands." Hearing Black say this, Baker couldn't insist, he snapped his fingers and disappeared in Black's bedroom.

Black got up from the bed and looked out the window.

At this time, the sky outside the window was completely dark. This sleep went from nine in the morning to nine in the evening...

Black rubbed his stomach that was constantly acidic due to hunger and walked out of his bedroom.

In the office, Cassandra and Hermione had already gone back.

On the table, a dinner was being kept warm with magic, and a stack of papers was under the dinner.

Blake picked up the papers and looked at them. It turned out that they were questions that Cassandra and Hermione found when they were reading today...

They saw that Blake was still asleep, so they had to leave the questions.

When Hermione left, she also left a dinner for Blake...

I have to say that Hermione's dinner was really thoughtful.

While eating, Blake flipped the papers in his hand, thinking that after dinner, he would write down the answers for them on the papers.

Suddenly, Blake's hand that was flipping the papers paused for 760 seconds.

He pulled out a piece of parchment from the middle and read it carefully.

This parchment was the simplified version of the Transfiguration Potion formula that he had used to test Snape last night.

However, this Transfiguration Potion formula was different from the previous one.

If the original Transfiguration Potion formula was just a researchA semi-finished product that has been studied for half a year, now it has become somewhat complete...

Looking at the extra lines of thin letters on the paper, Blake immediately recognized whose handwriting it was.

This is Cassandra's handwriting, and although this potion formula has only made a little progress, it is already very difficult for Cassandra to deduce the formula to this extent without any experiments at her current age.

Blake grinned. This level is much better than Snape's at the same age!

So, Cassandra is more suitable to be a potion master?

Blake put down the fork in his hand, picked up the pen, and started writing and drawing on this formula.

Because of the modified version by Cassandra, a completely complete simplified version of the shapeshifting potion was freshly baked in a short while!

The simplified version of the shapeshifting potion made with this potion formula can't make magical animals transform directly into humans like the original one, but it can easily make magical animals acquire a primary ability to change their body shape at any time.

This ability can be to become larger or smaller, or to change the shape of a part of the body at will.

Of course, the degree of transformation depends on the magic power of each magical animal... The stronger the magic power of the magical animal, the more forms it can transform.

The original intention of Blake to do this was to allow magical animals to gain the ability to work.

Think about it, if Dabao's claws can temporarily change into the shape of human hands, wouldn't it be more efficient to do the work?

But now it seems... maybe some magical animals that were originally very alert and had to hide can shrink their bodies and move in certain specific positions.

However, this is not the time to do this, Blake has some serious things to do tonight!

After he hurriedly finished his dinner, he took out a bunch of materials on the table and started to work.

Dabao propped himself up with sleepy eyes and looked at the busy (dbdd) Black, then turned over and hugged the stupid snake to sleep again.

It's cool to sleep with this thing...

...

"Gurgle gurgle..."

Snape looked at the potion in front of him that was gradually turning light blue, and sprinkled a handful of powder.

The light blue potion instantly turned into a creepy purple, and it also emitted a faint fluorescence, which turned his pale face purple.

Suddenly, Snape's face twitched, because a sentence suddenly came into his mind.

"Why? Why did you cover up the painting that old man Dumbledore gave you?"

Snape tried his best to maintain the brain occlusion technique, and answered carefully in his mind: "In Hogwarts, all the paintings are Dumbledore's spies... Only by covering them up can our secrets not be peeped."

"Oh? Really?" The voice in his heart sounded again, "Then why did youDo you want to accept this painting?"

"... Dumbledore gave me a painting, I can't refuse it. Working next to him, even if I know he wants to send a spy, I have to pretend to be confused and accept it. Dumbledore's vigilance against me has always existed..."

"Then... if you cover it up, won't it make Dumbledore more suspicious?" The voice in my heart sounded.

"Well... of course it won't work for a long time... I'm just dealing with it temporarily. When he asks, I'll just say I forgot to open the painting. In this way, he won't suspect me. I can delay it for a day." Snape said cautiously in his heart.

"No... According to my investigation, Dumbledore should have trusted you very much over the years, so... you can't do anything that will arouse Dumbledore's suspicion! Anyway... what we want you to do will not be done in this office, so you'd better open the black cloth now and hang the painting on the wall to avoid arousing Dumbledore's suspicion. ”

“Okay…” Snape used all his strength to perform the brain block technique, forcibly suppressed the joy of success that rose in his heart, calmly walked to the painting covered with black cloth, and slowly uncovered the black cloth.

Snape couldn’t uncover the black cloth by himself, and had to let the other party order him to uncover the black cloth in order to clear all suspicions… This was not easy.

“Good evening, Professor Snape.” In the portrait, Mr. Lyell greeted Snape enthusiastically, “Oh, are you brewing a refreshing potion? Ah... I think this color may not be right..."

Snape frowned. Sure enough... He still couldn't stand this self-righteous old guy who didn't know he was outdated pointing fingers at his potion... If it wasn't for Dumbledore's convenience to obtain information...

Snape returned to the table without saying a word and looked at the potion on the table...

While running the brain block technique, he also had to think about problems that could not be peeped under the cover of the brain block technique. This consumed a lot of Snape's energy. This pot of refreshing potion was indeed wrong... (Read the exciting novel, just go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Feeling the strange thoughts in his mind gradually dissipate, Snape couldn't help but secretly relieved.

Just in the World Cup final Not long after, Snape was blocked by Bella and a group of dark wizards in his home again. This time, she came with some dark wizards who had been temporarily subdued, as well as Barty the Younger and... that man!

At that time, Snape was extremely grateful that he had transferred little Lily to the Marian Orphanage...

Although that man had become completely different from before! In other words, he had become incredibly weak!

However, with Barty the Younger and Bella, two powerful Death Eaters, around him, Snape knew that he couldn't kill them with one strike...

If he failed, he might be besieged to death by Bella and Barty the Younger and a group of dark wizards. Even if he could beat these people, Bella and the others would have a chance to leave with Voldemort calmly!

So, SnapeSnape had no choice but to deliberately surrender to the man as usual.

Voldemort was very satisfied with Snape's performance.

So... for the rest of the summer vacation, Voldemort and his men hid in Snape's house.

When the vacation was gradually over and Hogwarts was about to start school... Snape also got his new task. []

That is, find a way to send Harry Potter to Voldemort and then use his blood to revive him!

Of course, this was something Black and Dumbledore could not have thought of. Logically, letting Snape steal Harry's blood directly was the simplest and most cost-effective method.

But Black and his men underestimated Voldemort's obsession... Voldemort wanted more than just resurrection!

He decided to kill Harry Potter himself after resurrection to prove it in front of his men! It was just a ridiculous rumor that he was defeated by Harry! And to break the terrible psychological shadow in his heart!

It can be said that Harry, who rebounded Voldemort's spell when he was a baby, has become someone Voldemort must kill himself! Even if there was no prophecy at the beginning, he would definitely do it!

Snape accepted the task calmly, and then planned to discuss with Dumbledore what to do after school started.

But... Voldemort did not trust him as much as he seemed!

I don't know what method he used to get a corner of Barty's soul into his brain!

In this way, all his actions were exposed to Barty!

If his brain occlusion had not reached an extremely high level, Snape would have been exposed on the day the soul fragment was implanted!

Snape guessed that this corner of the soul might be split from Barty's soul by Voldemort referring to the method of making Horcruxes and directly stuffed into his head.

If Barty Jr. had not murdered anyone at that time, Snape would have suspected that he had become Barty Jr.'s Horcrux...

But this is very normal. Voldemort would not really trust anyone except himself!

Even Barty Jr. is the same.

So, Voldemort certainly would not tell Barty Jr. the secret of his immortality so easily!

However, even so, Voldemort's method made Snape feel constrained...

Because Barty Jr. now completely shared his vision and part of his mind that was not sealed by the brain block.

Even at the critical moment, he could detonate this piece of his soul and kill himself...

At this level, it is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Snape to not expose himself and to convey information to Dumbledore and others!

On the evening of the opening dinner, Snape was in his office, using the brain block to deal with Barty's mind spying, while thinking about what to do.

The situation was urgent and a way to break the deadlock was urgently needed. Of course, Snape couldn't just leisurely cook a potion like before..

However, at that time, Black suddenly came to visit.

Snape knew that this guy was extremely smart. As long as he made a slightly different move from usual, the other party would definitely see it!

However, Snape was also worried that if he went too far, the little Barty who was secretly watching would find out.

Snape was even worried that Black would directly ask him why he was so abnormal!

If that happened, it would definitely alert the enemy!

But fortunately, Black was still as smart as ever.

When dealing with Black, Snape also clearly sensed the other party's temptation!

Until the end, when Black left, he asked about the potion that made him ashamed to talk about...

Black hadn't mentioned the drug for a long time, and of course he wouldn't mention it for no reason tonight!

So, Snape deliberately said that he was still taking it.

But Black, who knew that he had stopped taking medicine, did not point out the problem, but persuaded himself to take the medicine in moderation...

Snape felt that this was a signal from Black to him, indicating that he had understood his situation!

But even so, Snape was still worried and couldn't sleep on his first night at Hogwarts.

What if Black misunderstood? What if they acted rashly? Or what if Black actually couldn't see anything and asked himself those questions just to satisfy his bad taste?

However, early the next morning, after receiving Dumbledore's invitation, Snape knew that the matter had taken a turn for the better.

Sure enough, Dumbledore also tried to test him, for example, he gave him a portrait of the potion master he hated the most...

And Snape also responded, for example, he accepted the oil painting that he would never accept in the past without hesitation!

After knowing that Dumbledore and the others already knew about his situation, Snape secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, how to convey information to Dumbledore and the others without being aware of Barty Jr.'s consciousness is still his biggest problem!

"Snape... You can make a mistake even with such a simple refreshing potion? This is not your level." In his mind, Barty Jr.'s consciousness, which had already faded, suddenly came back again!

Snape perked up, and he knew that the test was still going on... How could Barty Jr. leave a gap for him to take advantage of? His mind was always watching him!

"I just want to test whether dragon bone powder can enhance the refreshing potion... It's just an experiment." Snape said calmly. .
