Hogwarts: What Bad Intentions Could A Little Snake Have?

"Harry and Hermione are back too?" he asked gently.

"Yes, Professor," Ronald said.

Then he saw Crow following Dumbledore.

His handsome face remained expressionless.

But Ronald felt an inexplicable pressure.

Ronald swallowed involuntarily.

"Good evening, Ronald." Crow whispered to him.

Although the tone was very calm, it made Ronald feel extremely oppressive.

"Hello, Crow!" Ronald bowed quickly and greeted, "Good evening, Crow.

After Hermione and Ronald said hello, they also nodded slightly towards Crow.

"Good evening, Harry, Hermione, and Ginny." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"I came to you today because I hope you can do me a favor."

"You said it." Ronald said eagerly.

"As long as I can do it, I will do my best to help you."

"Don't force it," Dumbledore shook his head.

"Actually, this matter needs to be handled by Crow explaining the situation to you.

He turned to look at Crow, "Tell them."

"Hello, Harry, Ronald," Crow looked up at Harry.

"I want you to make a potion with me."

Then Crow waved the wand in his hand, and a bottle of 350 red liquid appeared in front of everyone.

Floating slowly in the air.

It was the bottle of ceratopsian blood that Crow took out from the Ministry of Magic yesterday.

It has been analyzed by people from the Potions Masters Association.

A formula that ensures its effects are consistent with Hogwarts standards.

"Ceratopsian blood?" Hermione recognized the item immediately.

"I want you to help me refine this bottle of blood into a potion." Crow said.

"I need a list of ingredients, can you prepare them for me?"

"That's no problem." Hermione nodded.

"It's just. Crow, what on earth do you want to do with such a large quantity?"

"You also know that my current relationship with the Ministry of Magic is not very harmonious.

If I'm not well prepared, I'm afraid I'll be in danger.

Crow's expression gradually turned serious.

"I need you to help me."

"That's true, but we're not good at refining blood." Hermione said with a frown.

"Especially with the blood of the horned dragon, this project may not be easy to complete.

And we don't understand potions, so if we make a mistake, we will cause serious losses.

"I know." Crow nodded.

"But this is the only option at the moment and I believe you can get the job done."

“After all, you have proven that you have enough potential.

Hermione pursed her lips.

Of course she also knew that this job would be very difficult for her and Harry.

However, she was also unwilling to turn down any opportunity that might enhance her learning experience.

No matter how difficult it is, you must try.

"If you can help me complete this research, I will pay you."

"And it won't be less than a gold galleon."

"This is already a huge sum of money for an ordinary wizard." Crow continued.

"In addition, I will tell you many secrets about the magical world."

"Even other secrets from the Muggle world."

"Wait!" Hermione interrupted Crow in surprise.

"I don't mind the reward, I'm just worried about our strength."

She originally thought she was good enough.

But since Crow appeared, Hermione's confidence has obviously taken a big hit. .

"I know what you're worried about," Crow smiled slightly.

"But you should understand that the magical world is far more complicated than you think."

"Even I dare not say that I have absolute certainty, so I am asking for your help.

Hearing his words, Hermione fell into deep thought.

After a moment, she gritted her teeth and decided: "Okay, I promise you, Crow."

"Whether this is an adventure or not, we will do our best to help you."

"Thank you for your trust," Crow nodded, "Then come with me."

"There are some materials in this place, I need you to go to (bjfd) to help me collect them."

Several people followed Crow through a corridor.

Finally he stopped in front of a door.

Crow pushed open the door. It was dark inside, with only a faint light coming through.

Ronald stretched out his hand and groped the wall, using the moonlight to illuminate his surroundings.

The room is filled with antique shelves.

The shelves are filled with all kinds of gems, pearls, agate and other accessories.

Apparently the owner of this manor likes to collect these things.

"This is what I need." Crow led the three people into the house.

I sat on the sofa and turned on the light.

The dim light dispersed the shadows and restored brightness to the entire room.

"Let me introduce first, this is the secret base left to us by Dumbledore."

Crow pointed around the room and said to them, "This is my bedroom."

"This is the bathroom, this is the kitchen, this is the sink, and here."

He turned to the other side, "This is a small library."

library?

The three of them followed Crow's fingers and looked over.

Sure enough, I found an area next to this small room.

It was stuffed with thick parchment.

"The materials we need are placed above, you can take some."

Crow pointed at the parchments and said, "But it's best not to touch these materials."

"They're a little fragile."

"Okay." Ronald nodded and said.

They walked over to the parchment and looked at it carefully.

There are many strange words written on it, which seem to be some kind of spell or a text.

"We don't quite understand," Hermione said, shaking her head.

"I remember you once saying something about dark wizards."

"These are some of the topics I have studied." Crow said slowly.

"Because I need this information and data."

"Help me unlock the secrets of the Ministry of Magic's imprisonment of dark wizards."

"So." Ronald hesitated and asked.

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"Because I think you are worth my investment." Crow looked at them.

"I don't want to give up such an excellent assistant, but I can't take risks."

"As you know, the patron saint of Hogwarts is more than just a simple legend.

"I understand your concerns," Hermione nodded.

"We will complete the work you assigned as soon as possible."

"Thank you, I believe you." Crow smiled.

"You go and select the materials now."

"Try to choose materials that are more suitable for making wands."

"I'll come find you later"

Ronald and Hermione left the room and headed towards the materials.

"Do we really want to participate in this plan?"

Ronald asked softly as they walked on the road.

"This is about a great dream!".
