Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

After experiencing London's crowded pre-holiday subway once again, Snape dropped Dean off at his door.

Before parting, Snape, who had been silent all the way, said to Dean: "Dean, there is no need for you to be so polite to Digory. He is a guy who loves to show off and is always very proud of his son. Brag about his achievements every chance he gets—"

"But Cedric is indeed very good, isn't he?" Dean said immediately, "I heard what Mr. Diggory said. You were so mean to Cedric at Hogwarts. I guess you can't stand it. It’s Mr. Gorey’s way of doing this on purpose, right?”

"This can only be blamed on the Sorting Hat for not sorting Cedric into Slytherin." Snape replied dryly.

Dean sighed inwardly, Snape was such an arrogant guy, and it was really difficult to meet his requirements.

"Professor, whether it is you or Mr. Digory, I am very grateful. I will not change my judgment because of your mutual opinions." Dean said seriously.

Snape stared at Dean's face for a while and then said coldly: "Then - goodbye!"

Turning to leave.

"Professor, don't forget your promise." Dean reminded.

Snape paused before leaving and said without looking back, "I don't think now is a good time."

"Then wait until I get back to school?" Dean asked tentatively.

"Mr. Thomas, I'm very busy! Do you think today's matter is over? No, far from it!" Snape turned around suddenly, leaned down and stared into Dean's eyes closely and growled.

"Professor, I have a request." Dean said calmly.

"You ask for too much, Mr. Thomas!" Snape said displeased.

"I hope to resolve the issue with Mundungus personally," Dean said.

"Don't forget that you have just been acquitted. If you commit another crime, I won't have time to deal with your case." Snape reminded.

"Professor, trust me, I can handle it." Dean insisted.

"Well, leave Mundungus to you!" Snape hesitated for a moment and said through gritted teeth.

"Thank you." Dean smiled, took out something and handed it to Snape, "Professor, this is my Christmas gift to you. Merry Christmas!"

A clear look of surprise appeared on Snape's face. He didn't expect that Dean was still in the mood to prepare a Christmas gift for him. He was really generous.

"Dean, you have to know that I have very high requirements for gifts." Snape's tense face finally relaxed.

"I think you will be satisfied. Goodbye, Professor!" After Dean finished speaking, he went home neatly.

Snape grasped the "gift" in his hand, which seemed to be a piece of parchment. He didn't understand why Dean concluded that he would be satisfied with this gift.

However, Snape did not check immediately. Instead, he glanced around and found that no one had noticed before using Apparition to leave - he planned to check again after returning to his home in Spider End Alley.

After quietly returning to the bedroom, Dean heard the familiar sound of disembodiment in the yard, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Professor, whether it can change your destiny depends on whether this 'gift' can really change your destiny." Satisfied."

Dean's gift to Snape was a recipe: an antidote to the Blood Curse.

This recipe was obtained from Umbridge after Dean successfully completed the mission "Umbridge's Conspiracy".

When this task is completed, in addition to gaining 2 skill points, the system will give you two options, one is to extract a skill from Umbridge, and the other is to obtain one of Umbridge's collections.

Dean hesitated for a moment, feeling that Umbridge didn't seem to have any skills that interested him, so he chose the second option - he hadn't gotten any items directly from the system and wanted to see how the system operated.

As a result, after Dean chose to get one of Umbridge's collections, he immediately felt that there was something extra in the dragon skin bag.

Taking advantage of the crowded flow of people on the subway, Dean quietly took out that thing - a very ancient piece of parchment.

After Dean took a quick look at it, he was immediately shocked, because the content recorded on this parchment shocked him. It contained the formula for the antidote to the blood curse.

Dean is very aware of the value of this recipe.

If the formula is real, it means Dean has a way to get rid of Voldemort's cauldron.

Dean knew that Voldemort's pet, the big snake Nagini, was actually a woman who had been cursed by the blood curse. In the future, Nagini would be made into a Horcrux by Voldemort.

If Dean can create the antidote to the bleeding curse according to the formula, what will happen if he finds an opportunity to give it to Nagini?

Although Dean has the skill of "Poison Expertise", his knowledge in potions is not rich enough to judge the authenticity of this formula, so he decided to contribute this formula as a Christmas gift. Snape.

Dean believed that Snape must know the value of this formula with his eyes, and with his ability he would definitely be able to judge the authenticity of the formula and even prepare a real antidote.

Dean was equivalent to giving Snape a chance to change his fate with his own hands - Snape was eventually bitten to death by Nagini. If the antidote he prepared could lift the blood curse on Nagini and restore himself Will Nagini, who has no consciousness and memory, still murder her savior?

Dean thought this was the best Christmas present he could give Snape right now.

Although he generously gave the formula to Snape, Dean actually got the biggest gain.

The system has backed up the contents of this recipe, and there are unusual notes in the relevant introduction:

"Recipe: Antidote to the Blood Curse. Concealment Fragment. Once obtained, it can increase the completion of the Mysterious Walker inheritance by 5%."

Dean checked the progress of "Legacy Mission: Mysterious Walker". Sure enough, after adding 5%, the progress reached 12%. At the same time, he unlocked a new skill "Explore Everything".

"Skill: Exploring everything. Can see through all the blinding methods in the wizarding world, including illusion spells, invisibility cloaks, Agmanis, Disguise Manis, etc.

The Mysterious Walker is a mysterious existence that walks between light and darkness. He is proficient in all means of deception. How could he be deceived by others? "

This skill is simply too powerful.

The only regret is the active skills, which need to be used actively.

Only then did Dean notice a detail. For some unknown reason, it seemed that the skills acquired through the Secret Walker inheritance could not be upgraded.

Dean guessed that maybe it was because these skills did not fall into the category of magic spells?

In this unusual Christmas, Dean has gained a lot: due to his smooth escape, in addition to "Umbridge's Conspiracy", the mission of "Unjust Injustice" has also been completed.

Compared to "exploring everything", Dean feels that the Patronus Charm rewarded by this mission is the best gift this Christmas.

After Dean used skill points to upgrade the Patronus Charm to the full level, he had no plans to try the Patronus Charm immediately. He planned to practice it in the Room of Requirement after returning to Hogwarts.

The most important thing right now - of course, is to have a good chat with Mundungus.
