Hogwarts: Please graduate soon

Grace's home is in René, an apartment in Fulham, inner London. Wayne found the door in less than five minutes.

"You came so fast?" Grace was very surprised after opening the door when she saw the boy arrive so quickly.

"Finish it early so I can go back and rest."

Grace was wearing very cool clothes, and her silk nightgown showed off her good figure to the fullest.

Wayne walked in without looking around, looking at the shoe cabinet at the entrance, "Do you need to change shoes?"

"No." Grace yawned, not caring at all that her suspenders were about to slip off.

"Come to think of it, you are the first guest to come to my house..."

This is a small apartment with two bedrooms and one living room. The area is not large. The things in the house are placed very casually and look a bit messy.

Grace took Wayne to sit on the sofa.

A door of a room opened, and Wayne saw several bookshelves and a writing desk inside, which had been converted into a study. He asked curiously:

"Don't uncle and aunt live here?"

"Are you talking about my parents?" Grace sat down next to the boy, her head still drooping on his shoulder, and whispered:

"I grew up in an orphanage."

Wayne was silent for two seconds.

"Sorry."

"What's there to apologize for?" Grace smiled, "I rented this house after I moved out of the orphanage at the age of sixteen. When I make money in the future, I will buy it and transform it into a wizard's house."

"It's a bit small, have you considered changing to a bigger one?"

Seeing that Grace really didn't care about it, Wayne was relieved and asked jokingly.

"You think I'm you, Lord Lawrence." Grace slapped the boy in annoyance: "With the house prices in London, I don't know how long it will take for me to be able to afford a house here."

Wayne took the opportunity to get to the point. "What a coincidence, I came here today to discuss a big deal with you."

"As long as it's done, you can easily buy this house."

"You don't really want to support me, do you?" Grace looked weird, and pretended to be scared and protected her chest with both hands. Wayne's eyelids twitched wildly.

People put their hands in front of their chests for defense. Why are you squeezing here? Are you trying to increase his attack speed?

"Don't make trouble, I'm serious."

"Oh." Grace immediately became obedient, and her attitude changed so quickly that Wayne took a long time to react and sighed helplessly.

"Tell me first, how much money have you made with the expedition team in the past few months?"

After thinking for a moment, Grace replied: "Not counting the compensation from Borgin and Burke, I probably made 300 Galleons by selling some things."

"But I also made some money from Muggle currency. Some of the antiques are still valuable. I exchanged them for a few thousand pounds."

"What do you think of the strength of your teammates?" Wayne asked again.

"Very average." Grace shook her head:"If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't make it, few wizards with great powers would choose to do this."

"That's it."

Wayne spread his hands and advised: "There is no future in following those scumbags. You might as well listen to me and go to the Ministry of Magic for training for a while. As for exploring the ancient tombs, we can team up when you become stronger or after I graduate."

"Those tombs are buried underground, and they won't run away by themselves."

"Hahaha."

Grace was amused by Wayne's description, but she still couldn't make up her mind.

After all

"Excuse me, why are you so obsessed with the cause of Hufflepuff's death?" Wayne asked curiously when he saw her struggling look.

"Actually... I can't explain it clearly."

Grace bit her lip: "Before I enrolled, I read some basic information about the school and I liked the name of Hufflepuff... Before the Sorting Hat made a decision, I knew I would be sorted into Hufflepuff."

"Then... I looked up a lot of information about Hufflepuff and became more and more interested in her, but after the school was established, she mysteriously disappeared and there was no subsequent record."

"In short, it's an inexplicable fate."

Grace couldn't describe this feeling either.

Intuition, emotion, instinct...

There are all kinds of factors.

Seeing her like this, Wayne didn't ask any more questions, but continued to persuade:

"Then you should improve your strength first and collect more information. If you really find a clue, you don't think you can break into the powerful tomb with just those teammates, right?"

"What does this have to do with going to the Ministry of Magic?" Grace asked puzzledly.

Wayne took out an envelope and handed it to her.

Opening the envelope, Grace took out the parchment inside and said in surprise after reading it: "Auror training class?"

Wayne nodded gently: "Your grades are enough to apply to become an Auror. Even if you are not interested in this job, the things taught in it will always be useful."

He asked Mrs. Greengrass to get this.

To become an Auror, it is not enough to just meet the grades. You also need to go through a series of examinations.

Usually, before becoming an Auror, you have to train for about three years. You can only officially join the job after passing the test. The assessment items are also very comprehensive.

Not only does it test a person's combat effectiveness, but also the law, black magic detection, intelligence detection, and even physical fitness.

Grace will definitely gain something if she goes to training for a few years.

Wayne has done this, and Grace also knows that it would be a bit too much if she refuses again, so she nodded gently and agreed.

"Then I'll listen to you."

Wayne finally smiled.

"You're welcome. If you find anything good while exploring the ancient tomb, you can sell it to me. The price is negotiable."

As he spoke, Wayne held Geli's hand.Silk's hand.

"Now, it's time to replenish your magic..."

.......

The last few days of the holiday passed quickly, and Wayne did not go anywhere, but accompanied Nagini to watch the store in Diagon Alley.

After discovering that he was here, Valor and McKay came to the door, and they encountered new troubles.

"Boss." Valor said with a bitter face: "The two old goblins are not satisfied with the current dividends and want more gold."

"They also threatened that if they did not increase their shares, they would lead other goblins to strike."

"I guessed it a long time ago."

Wayne was not surprised by this.

The greed of goblins is endless, and never expect them to be grateful.

Seeing that the sales of Firebolts were so hot and in short supply, the two goblins naturally became more greedy.

For this, Wayne was also prepared.

"You go find a goblin named Bell. I asked him to learn the skills of those two old guys."

"If his level is similar, promote him and give all goblins a little more salary. As for those two old guys, just let them show some flaws and let them be greedy for money. After catching the evidence, hand it over to the Ministry of Magic and send them to Azkaban."

Wallo was stunned: "Boss, you actually planted a spy?"

"Basic operation." Wayne shook his hand, "These two goblins have exploited other goblins for so long, there must be someone dissatisfied. Remember, if Bell also has evil intentions, follow the same process."

"The thing that this world lacks most is greedy goblins. As long as you give them money, it is common for them to betray their own kind."

Wallo and McKay knelt down directly.

It was the last day.

Wayne went to Knockturn Alley and took "The Most Toxic Magic" from Borgin and Burke's.

By the way, he also received a reward of one thousand Galleons.

"Pay attention to any news related to Hufflepuff in the future."

Looking at the respectful Burke, Wayne made a request.

Borgin and Burke naturally did not dare to neglect it, saying that they would take the initiative to look for it and would also contact the pure-blood families he was familiar with to see if they had any clues.

"By the way, how do you plan to deal with the Rosier family?"

Before leaving, Wayne suddenly remembered something and asked curiously.

"Hehe..." Burke sneered: "Excuse me, I'm just a small businessman. I can't afford to offend the Rosier family, who are so powerful. I can only give them a few small things to vent my anger."

Wayne knew that the small things he was talking about were not gifts.

Borgin had a room full of dark magic items, and taking out a few of them would be enough for the Rosier family.

.......

Leaving Knockturn Alley, Wayne Apparated to Snape's door.

Only then did he realize that Snape, who had never been home for Christmas, actually came home this year.

Will he not protect Harry anymore?

With such doubts,Wayne knocked on the door, and hurried footsteps were heard inside the room, and the door was soon opened.

Snape's ugly face appeared in front of him.

"You're finally here."

"It's vacation now, and I don't have enough time to spend with my girlfriend. Is there anything that can't be said at school?"

Wayne complained and walked into the room.

Just like the last time he came, the room was very dim and uninspiring.

Snape turned a deaf ear to it, closed the door, cast a few warning spells, and then came to the bookshelf.

The wand gently tapped on the bookshelf, and the bookshelf was pushed open from the middle to both sides, revealing a secret passage.

"So mysterious?"

Wayne was even more curious and followed Snape in.

There was a single bed in the closed room, with a man lying on it. There were two workbenches on the wall, with several crucibles and various potion raw materials on them.

Wayne didn't look carefully, his attention was all attracted by the person on the bed.

"Are you doing experiments again?" He was too lazy to ask where the unlucky guy on the bed came from.

"No." Snape said coldly, "I never stopped."

"I told you, you can't succeed." Wayne sighed.

He understood Snape's obsession. Lily's death was an eternal pain in his heart, but it was not that simple to resurrect a person. There were too many things to consider.

"Indeed, I haven't succeeded yet." Walking to the single bed, Snape lowered his head and was a little excited: "But I have succeeded halfway!"

"Half?" Wayne looked at him puzzledly: "What do you mean."

"Come and see for yourself." Snape motioned Wayne to come forward.

The boy walked over and looked down at the man on the bed.

The breathing was steady, the body temperature and heartbeat were normal, but the face was paler than that of an ordinary person.

Wayne's face gradually became serious, and he found something abnormal.

At first he thought that this man was just put into a coma by Snape to facilitate his experiments.

But after observing for a while, he denied this idea.

The breathing was too even, and much slower than normal.

It was like...

"Zanating dead?"

The boy's eyes glowed blue, and he had unconsciously used the perspective magic to observe the changes in the man's body.

"How did you do this?"

After watching for five minutes, Wayne dispersed the magic and asked in confusion.

"Did you catch a Dementor and give this guy a kiss?"

Snape's eyes lit up: "Yes! That's the state!"

"I have been unable to find a suitable metaphor to describe it, you said it very well!" Snape bent down, his tone was enthusiastic, as if he was appreciating the most perfect artwork in the world.

Seeing his appearance, Wayne thought of the sentence "halfway to success" just now, and his face was surprised: "Don'tThey said this person had died before..."

"Five days, he had been dead for five days." Snape said excitedly, which was very different from his usual gloomy expression.

"At that time, his body had begun to stink, and even showed signs of decomposition and corruption."

"But when I gave him the potion, everything returned to normal, as if... he was alive!"

Wayne frowned when he heard it.

This is too disgusting...

But he was still shocked in his heart, and he didn't expect Snape to be able to do this.

Even with the bonus of materials, this far exceeded the limit of his talent, and even exceeded the limit of the subject of potions.

"Lawrence, now there is only one last step, the last step."

Snape turned his head suddenly and looked at him with a pleading look that he had never seen before: "Help me, please, I need more experiments, I must bring... her back. "

"Professor..." Wayne sighed.

At this time, he didn't have the heart to tease.

Whether Snape is a good person or a bad person, this persistence and emotion are enough to be admired.

He also understood why Snape didn't talk about this matter in school.

If Dumbledore knew about such an anti-human experiment...

Hmm?

Wayne suddenly thought of Ariana. If Dumbledore knew about it, he would probably want Snape to succeed immediately, right?

"I underestimated you before." Wayne frankly admitted his mistake: "It can be called a miracle to turn a dead body into a vegetable."

Snape didn't speak, still staring at him closely.

"But..." Wayne observed the 'experimental subject', "You can see that this is just a body without a soul. ”

“Soul...” Snape muttered to himself.

“I wonder if you have discussed this issue with the ghost.”

Wayne continued: “After a person dies, the soul will go to another place. Some people are afraid of death and choose to stay, so they become ghosts.”

“That is to say... what you lack now is the soul of the person you want to resurrect.”

As he spoke, Wayne’s wand shot out a green arc of electricity, hitting the living dead lying on the bed.

The body of the living dead trembled slightly.

“Did you see it? Although the Cruciatus Curse is said to be a heart-piercing curse, in fact, part of the power acts on the soul. This is just an instinctive reaction of the body.”

“What’s more, since this is a magic potion, it must be usable by the person who is resurrected, right?”

“Can you still find her complete body now? "

Snape fell to the ground as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.

Every point Wayne said was a problem that he couldn't solve now.

A complete body, Lily's soul.

Where should he find it?

"Don't be too discouraged." Wayne kindly advised: "This is also considered a completionOne-third of the goal, as long as people are still alive, there will be hope. "

"You don't need to comfort me." Snape got up from the ground, and the light in his eyes gathered again:

"As long as I am alive, I will never give up."

"I believe in you." Wayne gave a thumbs up.

Snape really gave him a big surprise.

He wanted to see how far Snape could go with his feelings for Lily.

Wayne suddenly understood why Dumbledore always emphasized that love is the greatest magic in the world.

Isn't this a living example?

"What's the use of just talking." Snape returned to his usual annoying appearance: "I have run out of materials, don't you sponsor some?"

"Of course." Wayne kept smiling: "As long as you hand over this potion formula, everything is easy to talk about. ”

Snape’s face slowly darkened.

This brat is still as annoying as ever!

........

Thanks to [Xuexia Wangyue] and [19955..] for the rewards.

By the way, I want to correct a mistake. Nicolas Flamel knew that Vane had the Sword of Gryffindor, but thought it was taken away by Dumbledore and had not been returned. The previous article has been modified, but like typos, we have to wait for the review to see the modified version.

Thank you readers for your corrections!

Oh yes, there will be another chapter later, so it will be too late.
