[HP] Snake

Although Riddle could basically determine the number of divided souls and their carriers, he didn't know where the main soul hid them.So, before returning to Hogwarts, Lucius and I only found two Horcruxes, one in Bellatrix Lestrange's private vault in Gringotts Helga's pure gold goblet, and the other is the ancestral Resurrection Stone ring found at Gaunt's ancestral home.

Helga's cup came on the third day after Christmas.

Lucius took Narcissa to Azkaban on Christmas Day to visit Bellatrix Lestrange, who had been imprisoned for many years. The woman who was said to be very crazy was Narcissa's cousin.

Through the Imperius Curse, Narcissa gained ownership of her private vault, and Lucius also acquired ownership of the Lestrange family vault that originally belonged to her husband.Being greedy for money is being greedy for money, and he even called it a beautiful name to deceive others. He really deserves to be the head of the Malfoy family with dragon blood.

After a series of formalities, Helga's cup appeared in front of me.

It has indeed been polluted, lost its original brilliance and beauty, lost its exquisitely carved gems, and was darkened by black magic and the breath of death.There is only a small piece of remnant soul inside, compared to nearly half of Riddle's total soul, it seems to only account for about one-tenth. It seems that the main soul can't control the cutting accuracy very well.

I took it out the same day and stuffed it in Riddle's journal.It didn't take long for Riddle, who had self-awareness, to absorb it, but he was still weakened by the black magic curse in it.

In order to make his soul strong enough to ensure that it will not be suppressed by the other three Horcruxes that will be absorbed in the future, I began to drip three drops of soul purification potion on him every day to nourish his soul.

After asking about the specific address of Riddle Gaunt's ancestral home, I dismissed his request to take him along without hesitation, and only took Lucius there.

The entire Gaunt ancestral house is surrounded by black magic curses. Although it is not particularly powerful, this Voldemort is able to connect simple black magic circles by nesting each other and expand the effective range To the size of the entire noble mansion, it can be said to be quite a genius.It wasn't until this time that I really fell in love with this Voldemort, and began to plan to train him well so that he could become a truly proud Slytherin.

After destroying the magic circle supporting the entire black magic curse circle, the black magic curse lingering in the entire house soon lost its original function.We found the soul-returning stone ring in a box in the basement, with a strong charm and a rather powerful black magic curse attached to it. The charm will make people want to wear the ring uncontrollably, and the ring The attached Dark Demon Curse is at least effective enough to turn a wizard of Lucius' level into fly ash in an instant.I have to say, this made me think a little more about Voldemort.Although these were nothing a thousand years ago, they are quite good now.

Not directly proportional to the degree of danger attached to it, the weight of the remnant soul in the soul-returning stone ring is still small, only a little bigger than the one in Helga's cup.And the legendary soul-returning stone is even more disappointing. From the outside, it is just an ugly black stone. Apart from the powerful magic power inside, it has no other characteristics.

This time, Riddle took a lot of effort to absorb the partly conscious remnant soul. After waking up, he has been nourished with soul purification medicine to ensure the stability of the soul.

Soon, the Christmas holiday was over, and I boarded the Hogwarts Express with Riddle's carrier, the diary.

————————————————————

On the teacher's seat, Severus frowned tightly, and a strong resentment exuded from his body.Professor Quirrell, who was sitting next to him, shivered and hid to the other side desperately, not knowing how much of it was true and how much was false.

Severus' resentment turned into anger, and he shot indiscriminately.The Slytherin students all sat upright, trying to maintain a noble posture, and ate their dinner without appetite.The Ravenclaws trembled but still refused to let go of their spirit of inquiry, trying to find the source of Severus' anger, and then trembled even more under Severus' colder glare.Hufflepuff shrunk their necks one by one and worked hard to stuff the food, not daring to raise their heads for fear of being swept away by the storm.Even the always bold Gryffindors were much quieter than usual, no chasing and fighting, and no loud shouting.

Swallowing the last bite of steak, Severus gave me a stern look, then raised his head high, swung the hem of his robe, and left the hall aggressively.

It seems that his research on the magic power purification potion failed.

Well, I'm definitely not gloating, absolutely not.

After dinner, I went straight to Severus' office.

[Oh, dear Lord Slytherin, you are here, it is my good fortune to see you again after a holiday. 】The portrait of Medusa named Guo Zhesi on the office door was different from the usual way of scratching the head and posing for the little wizard, and saluted me respectfully.

[Dear Miss Gorches, I am equally honored to meet you. ] Nodding gracefully, I have never spared my etiquette for this Ms. Medusa who knows the times well.

【Oh, dear Lord Slytherin, Professor Snape is very angry today, you should be careful. 】She was obviously very satisfied with my etiquette, she swayed her slender waist slightly, and her bright red lips curled up nicely.

[Don't worry, dear Miss Guo Zesi, he still can't do anything to me. ] With a slight smile, I reached out and knocked on the door lightly.

"Come in." The man's still angry roar came from inside the door, and the door lock snapped open with a click.

[See you later, dear Lord Slytherin. 】

[See you later. 】Although, I hope to see you tomorrow.

Slowly opening the door, the room was dark, and the familiar atmosphere reminded me of that same dark night.

"What are you still doing there stupidly? Have your feet been swallowed by slugs? Get out of here quickly, damn it." The man's low, angry voice came from the door of the laboratory, and he looked up , the man stood upright with his back to the light, and the dark light from the laboratory shone on his back and sides, making him look like the king of the night, elegant, noble and domineering.

"Don't worry, dear Severus, you can't handle potions well in your state." After being close for a while, he can already accept me calling him by his Christian name, which is barely an improvement Bar.

I originally thought that after hearing this, he would try his best to calm down his mood, but he became more impetuous.The breath around him was slightly suffocated, and then turned into a more raging anger, and he couldn't even control his own magic pressure.

"Severus, you are in a bad state. I think you should stop studying potions today, have a good night's rest, and adjust your state." Seeing him like this, I can't continue teasing him, adjust He changed his expression, and his tone became serious.

"Damn it." He cursed in a low voice, clenched his fist with his right hand, and was about to smash it against the wall beside him.

"Hey!" She rushed over and grabbed his wrist to stop his stupid subconscious venting.Has he forgotten how important hands are to a master of potions!

And, until then, I didn't see his eyes clearly.The always empty and lifeless black eyes were full of rage, boredom and struggle. This kind of emotion was not only shown in his eyes, but also filled his whole body.

"Severus, what happened? You're not in the right shape, maybe, would you like to talk to me?"

"No, damn brat, you should follow me in now, and then make that damn magic power purification potion." The moment I grabbed him, he immediately came back to his senses and shook off my hand. Occlusion suddenly concealed the emotion in his eyes.Although the anger around him has calmed down a little, it still exists.But fortunately, the restlessness is gone, at least it won't affect the research.

Clutching his hands tightly, his condition is worrying, and his attitude is even more uncomfortable.He still refused to trust me a little bit, and I suddenly felt resentful towards the person who created Occlumency.

Severus' private potion laboratory was not as dark and scary as most students imagined, but rather bright and tidy, which was quite necessary for most potion making.

There are a lot of filled crystal bottles piled up on the workbench. Judging from the color, they should be the failed products of the magic power purification potion.

He picked up a bottle casually, uncovered the cap, and sniffed carefully.

"The venom of the Dongkesier beast? I thought that what this potion needs is the horned scales of the Ledra unicorn, not just the venom of the Dongkesiur beast which has a somewhat similar effect." Frowning, I will make this potion After countless times, I can never get the recipe wrong.

"Hmph! Ledra Unicorn? That kind of thing disappeared 1000 years ago, so there's no way it could exist." Severus raised his eyebrows, sarcastically.

"Extinct? How is it possible? The vitality of the Ledra unicorn can be said to be quite tenacious. There is no reason why there are still those terribly weak unicorns that are now extinct." I still remember that before I came back, When I saw Salazar's forearm, I was punched through the back by a Ledra unicorn.

"However, this is the truth." The man's firm tone made me believe it.

"Okay, but you can rest assured that the horn scales of the Ledra unicorn here are enough for you to make medicine for a lifetime." He said meaningfully while taking out a bottle of horn scales.To be honest, in order to collect these horn scales, I did kill a lot of Ledra unicorns. Could it be that those in Dickworth Forest are the last Ledra unicorns...

Probably, no way...
