A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 561 Reason of last resort (Ask everyone for a monthly pass)

Felix knocked on the basement door. 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 the day when he was exposed to the cold wind in the courtyard. Eat grilled fish.

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 flowerpot.

"Am I missing something?" Felix asked cheerfully.

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

"Nothing to witness," Snape said.

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 miraculous scene happened.

A small bag bulged from the brown soil in the flowerpot, revealing a tiny touch of tender 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 causes plants to germinate," said Snape.

"Don't you need to add the resurrection 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 that Bubbaji provides are nutritious in their own right."

"Can I take it back?" begged Professor Bubaji, looking anxiously at the seedlings in the pots.

"Oh, no," said Felix at once. "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 concocted this potion." Snape snorted, "Using the simplest ingredients according to someone's request."

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

"Yes, absolutely." She vowed.

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

Professor Bubaji 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 can certainly help, and she'd love to," Snape said dryly at the door, wishing she wouldn't bother him 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, the new 'hole card'?" he said sarcastically.

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

Snape thought hard for a moment.

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

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

Snape nodded, as he hoped.The office fell silent, and Snape stared at the specimen jars on the shelf against the wall and said, "I was told that you have the Ravenclaw diadem in your hand..."

"Dumbledore?" Felix asked.

"Not him," Snape said.

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——

"Someone from the Ministry of Magic told you?" Felix said while pondering, "But even if there are not many people in the Ministry of Magic who know about it, such important filing documents are generally not taken seriously unless someone Deliberately looking for... oh, I see."

Voldemort reached into the Ministry of Magic anyway.

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

Felix fell silent.The fewer people knew about the Horcrux's secret, the better, but since Sirius knew it...he seemed hesitant, and 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 press the question any further, 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 insinuate, but I think it's better to ask you directly. I have enough trouble and don't want to waste it time……"

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

"I have no intention of reporting 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 spies to cooperate with me." .”

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

It was a good plan, 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 follow the trend and wait for the spies to fall into the trap. It would depend on who would come to the school then.

He was inexplicably looking forward to it.

Voldemort only had one Horcrux by his side now, and 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.So……

Felix tried to simulate what Voldemort was thinking at the moment: If I were him - in Voldemort's situation - what would I do?
First of all, the safety of the Horcrux must be confirmed.

'I' clearly know that there are three destroyed Horcruxes, diary, snake, and ring; Horcruxes whose status cannot be determined include crowns and lockets.The crown might be in the school, well, 'I' don't know yet on Felix Heap.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 long while: "I've got something to do in the Order of the Phoenix..." Felix looked away, fine, got it—so 'I' suspected that the locket was used by the former The servant stole it.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 knew I was somehow connected to Harry Potter at school.Had to use Occlumency to protect my brain for the past two months... It's frustrating, but it's the best way to do it right now... because 'I'm not sure if this connection will extend to other Horcruxes, damn it , Only half of the prophecy was said!Damn Harry Potter!Now 'I' must ensure that the only Horcrux is under my nose, and it must not be separated from the Jinbei, unless there is a last resort...

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

There are two people on the same level as him in the wizarding world. If they fall into the trap, they will be lost forever, so 'I' must be careful enough, but 'I' know that one of them will die soon, and I just need to wait peacefully...but when necessary I also don't mind giving him a ride when he is at his weakest, it must be a wonderful feeling.The premise is that he holds the Horcrux that is vital to 'me' in his hand...

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's 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, he took the opportunity to get the last Horcrux.

This is the reason for the 'last resort' - 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 trust It was Bellatrix Lestrange.

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

"Want to play a game of Crackling and Exploding, Severus?" Felix asked in a good mood.

……

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 student clubs posted, but that was three weeks ago.

It's almost Christmas.

Felix plans to go to Newt's house during the holidays - to update his 'material library', and at the same time he is going to travel around the world, taking 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: "..."

"Bang dang, bang dang, bang dang..."

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Felix stopped beating 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 Hap, 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, sounded:

"Whether you're Peeves - or Filch - or the brat who failed the exam - or -"

Fred's and George's voices alternate:
"You are great--"

"Of course it's mischievous—"

"Adventurous—"

"Caught countless times—"

"Indomitable—"

"The unrepentant—"

"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, er, 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 could see that Filch had something to say to him, and maybe even prepared for a long time, but the timing just now was indeed a bit delicate.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.

"Glop—bite—lion—" the voice was deafening.

"Shut up! You idiot!" Hagrid yelled. "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, with a few tears in his moleskin coat.

"Are you all right, Hagrid?"

"Felix?" Hagrid said in surprise, and 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, he can bear it." Stop hitting people..." 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, and from this angle all he could see was 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, so he doesn't have to tie the rope...but not now, I I can only show him a movie. He has never seen a lion and is very curious about it, and I plan to give him the book you gave me."

Felix was in a daze for a moment, remembering the set of books he gave Hagrid the first time he came to the door, with pictures of various non-magical 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? Fly--Hermi--Hager--Silly--Harry--Rong--" Gropp growled inside.

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

"Is there anything going on at school?" he asked gruffly.

"Oh, no. It's a private matter," said Felix. "I want to know the address of the tribe of giants—of course I know they've gone deep into the mountains, I mean, which way they're going. ' he added quickly, seeing that Hagrid was about to speak.

"You don't want to deal with them, do you?" Hagrid muttered uneasily. "They...they're miserable, there's not much 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 of..."

……

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

Varun is skating on the ice.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.

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

Varen happily took out his exclusive magic wand, waved it casually, a gust of wind rolled up the snowflakes on the ice, like a rolling snow dragon, Varen rushed straight into the whirlwind, the little yellow hat and scarf were flying high in the snowflakes all over the sky rise.
