The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

After frowning for a moment, Link said seriously:

"Emily, don't go too far with Harry, he is Dumbledore's forbidden pet."

Emily said with some surprise:

"What do you mean by forbidden?"

"The relationship between them involves a lot of things, and it's not convenient for me to tell you." Link said seriously, "But what you need to know is that Dumbledore usually doesn't take care of Harry much, and often puts Harry there. You'll be pushed in the fire pit, but if you really go too far, he will definitely take action."

Emily lowered her head, seeming to be thinking about something. After a while, she raised her head and said:

"Don't worry, I didn't take action personally at all, I just added fuel to the flames. Even if Dumbledore wants to find someone to settle the score, he will never find him."

"It's enough that you know what's going on."

Link said as he stood up and walked outside.

Seeing this, Emily frowned and said:

"Where are you going?"

"Of course I listen to you and go out for a walk."

"Are you kidding me?" Emily also stood up, "It's the middle of the night!"

Hearing this, Link stopped, turned his head and gave Emily a helpless smile and said:

"Okay, I'm actually going to go find Professor Snape to settle the score. He dug such a big hole for me about the notes, so I have to give me an explanation. You should go to bed early."

As soon as this was said, Emily breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out and lay in Link's previous position and said:

"Of course I want to go to bed early. You must know that adequate sleep and rest are the best skin care products for women! I want to stay young like Aunt Leonie."

As she spoke, Emily took out a bottle of beauty potion and smeared it on her face, and said meaningfully, "Unlike some people, who use time twisters to overdraw their lives unscrupulously. I guess she will do it again." If you keep using it like this, you will become an aunt before the age of 20."

Link naturally knew who the certain people in Emily's mouth were referring to, but he really didn't know how to answer such words. In the end, he could only cough twice and continue to walk outside.

However, as soon as he reached the door, Emily stopped him again.

Link turned around and saw that Emily's cheeks were red again.

She rubbed the hem of her robe with her hands and said coquettishly:

"Well, the Hogsmeade Village Open Day will be held in a few days..."

"Go! Must go!"

Before Emily could finish her words, Link agreed loudly.

This made Emily's mouth corners rise.

She continued to rub the hem of her clothes while biting her lip to keep her smile from getting too big.

"Love you!"

"Me too!"

……

After struggling with Emily for a while, Link finally rushed to Snape's office.

Everything in the office remained unchanged. Everything here was not only the dead things in the office, but also Snape who was brewing the potion.

Sometimes Link really felt that Snape was extremely boring.

After spending so long with him, Link had never seen Snape doing any recreational activities other than making potions, preparing lessons, and planning conspiracies.

It was as if these three things were all he had left in his entire life.

Link really didn't know how Snape could survive such a boring life.

After all, human beings still need to be happy. If there is no happiness at all, the only result is to become crazy like the prisoners in Azkaban.

So Snape must have his own way of obtaining pleasure, but he never let Link discover it.

Of course, it is also possible that Snape could gain happiness just by making and researching potions.

This is not impossible for a potion genius like him.

After shaking his head to get rid of the random thoughts in his mind, Link walked to Snape and looked into the boiling cauldron.

'Fire ash snake eggs, pearl powder, tulip concentrate...'

Link silently recited the materials in the crucible in his mind. He stopped mid-reciting and laughed loudly in an incredible tone:

"Love potion?! Are you actually making a love potion? Hahaha!~"

Link laughed louder and louder, and finally even held his stomach and leaned against the wall, "Are you in love? But to be honest, I don't think the love potion will help you at all. After all, you are already like this. .”

Veins popped up on Snape's forehead, and the hourglass he held in his hand kept crunching as he squeezed it, as if it would break at any moment.

"Link!"

Finally, Snape suddenly took out his wand and said, "Lock the tongue and seal the throat!"

Gray light appears!

Link's pupils shrank, and the ebony wand appeared instantly, and he waved it fiercely.

hum!

The gray light was directly dispersed, turning into a wave of energy that rippled through the office.

"Isn't that true!? Professor Snape!" Link spread his hands and exclaimed, "The wand you are using now is the one I lent you!"

Snape raised his wand again and answered Link with action.

Link then gave up and explained:

"I'm kidding, Professor Snape! I mean, with your talent and looks, girls will fall in love with you without any love potion!"

Hearing this, Snape finally stopped, but just looking at his hands that were still trembling slightly, you could tell that his anger had not subsided.

After a while, Snape snorted coldly and sat back in his seat.

"Why did you come to my place again in the middle of the night!?"

Snape said angrily, while Link took out the thick black notebook with a smile and said:

"That's it, Professor Snape. There seems to be something wrong with the notebook you gave me. I can't understand the formula behind it at all. Did you make a mistake when you wrote it?"

Link said it tactfully, but Snape sneered and said:

"That's right, it's just that your troll brain can't understand such advanced potion knowledge."

He is not the kind of person who would break his teeth and swallow something bad.

Link had treated him like that earlier and wanted to make a deal with him. How could he let Link succeed so easily?

In fact, he had long expected that a young wizard like Link would not be able to understand the advanced knowledge behind the notes.

And if Link hadn't turned around and reconciled with Snape in the end, he would have even found a way to make Link unable to even read the basic potion formula at the front!

"Professor, I know you have a way. Just tell me how I can learn it."

Link was not annoyed when he heard this, and still leaned against Snape with a smile.

Snape, who had just been angered by Link, originally wanted to continue to make things difficult for Link, but his eyes glanced at the larch wand in his hand, and his expression softened after all.

He snorted coldly and said:

"You lack pre-systematic learning, and you won't be able to understand the above knowledge in a short period of time. Let's do it like before, you come directly after dinner every weekend, and I will give you extra lessons."

'What a make-up lesson, I think you just want to keep me as your coolie assistant so you can take revenge, right? '

Link complained in his mind, but on the surface he nodded like a fool.

Snape nodded with satisfaction, handed the pine leaf wand in his hand to Link and said:

"I will return this wand to you. My wand has been repaired."

"Ok."

Link took the wand, only to find that many of the scratches on the pine leaf wand had magically disappeared.

This must be the result of Snape's effort in maintaining it.

At this time, Snape also put on a serious expression and asked Link:

"There is also something about your physical condition. Your mother should have said that she has helped you think of some ways to solve the problem, right?"

As soon as he said this, Link became serious and nodded.

In fact, Mrs. Foley sent a letter asking Link about related matters shortly after the previous Sirius incident ended.

After learning what happened, she said she had found a solution and was now preparing for negotiations.

But when Link asked what the specific method was, Mrs. Foley refused to say anything.

Just say it to make Link feel at ease.

And now listening to Snape's words, he seems to know something?

Link narrowed his eyes and asked immediately:

"Professor Snape, do you know what method my mother is going to use?"

"You will know the specific matters when the time comes." Snape sighed and said with some emotion, "I can only say that your mother has made a great sacrifice for you, so cherish it."

Hearing this, Link nodded silently.

……

After continuing to communicate with Snape about the thick black notebook, Link left the office.

It was already past midnight, and the entire Hogwarts was plunged into darkness.

To be honest, the atmosphere of this dark castle is quite eerie.

But Link didn't have the slightest fear.

Link didn't even use the Lumos Spell and walked directly into the darkness.

This feeling of being enveloped in darkness even made him feel particularly comfortable.

He knew very well that something was wrong with his current state.

He was not originally the kind of person who liked gloomy and dark environments.

Link's first thought was of Mike.

But this is not possible.

The wall of the heart created by LV5 Occlumency has the ability to isolate all influences. Mike who is locked inside cannot do this at all.

Then the only possibility left now is that, as Snape said, there are still some unresolved problems in his own body.

For example, some of the blood in his body is subtly changing his character and soul through some unknown methods, making them crazy and advocating darkness.

If this conjecture is true, then Mike's appearance can be explained.

It is very likely that he is the dark soul that was stripped away from the original owner due to the influence of that evil bloodline for many years.

After all, judging from their mental appearance alone, Mike and the original owner Link are exactly the same.

Then the problem is coming.

If Link himself continues like this, will he also split into a dark soul?

Or would Link have no chance of splitting the dark soul at all, but would be directly controlled by darkness and madness, thus losing himself?

If this were the case, then the solution mentioned by Mrs. Foley and Snape would be particularly important.

But, does that method that they are unwilling to elaborate on really work?

Link was skeptical.

While thinking about it, Link took steps and walked quickly through the darkness.

However, before he had gone far, Link noticed a dim yellow light coming from the distance. Around the light, there were four figures, one tall and three short.

That was Filch, and the Harry trio.

"Mr. Filch, did you catch them swimming at night?"

Link emerged from the darkness and asked expressionlessly.

As soon as these words came out, the four people beside the light were startled.

Only Mrs. Lorris showed great excitement. She meowed and ran to Link's side, rubbing her body back and forth on Link's legs.

"F, Mr. Foley, good evening. Here's the thing. These three brats came to me and said they had something very important to come to you. I was afraid of delaying your affairs, so I brought them here. Waiting for you."

Filch stammered.

He looked nervous and flustered, as if he was afraid Link would be angry.

This is not difficult to understand.

In the past few years, Link has done many great things one after another. Coupled with his original origin of the Holy 28 clan, he is now the kind of big shot in Filch's heart who cannot be offended.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Link said this with a gentle and kind smile on his lips.

This made Filch feel relieved, and his original nervousness and panic turned into excitement at Link's words.

Fortunately, he also knew that Link and Harry still had something to talk about, so he left after chatting with Link for a while.

But before leaving, he glared at Harry and the three of them very hard, as if he was looking at something dirty.

Ron muttered something and made a face at Filch's hunched back.

But Harry and Ron lowered their heads and said nothing.

When Link saw this, he didn't say anything nonsense. He relaxed his neck and said:

"Tell me, what can you do with me?"

As soon as these words came out, Harry and Hermione lowered their heads.

The two of them were extremely ashamed now.

After Sirius was brought back to the Ministry of Magic by Fudge, Dumbledore told them some of Link's secrets.

These, coupled with what Sirius said casually, were enough for them to deduce the general outline of the matter.

Link is a pitiful and kind man.

As friends, not only did they not treat him well, they even misunderstood and hurt Link!

This is simply a heinous crime!

They were ready to ask Link to apologize.

But Link quickly entered a state of seclusion again. They were not in the same grade as Link, and they would never meet each other at all.

So today they had no choice but to ask Filch to take them and others to find Link.

Finally, Harry gritted his teeth, bowed to Link and said:

"Sorry! Link! We misunderstood you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hermione also sobbed softly and bowed to Link.

Looking at these two people, Link remained expressionless and silent.
