[HP] Prisoner of Nurmengard

When the family returned to Hogwarts after their trip in India, they found that Britain had long been in chaos.The biggest thing is the collective escape of the Death Eaters. However, in order to protect the safety of Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic decided to send dementors to protect Hogwarts. This matter has been approved by Dumbledore, but the parents obviously do not agree. Buy it.

In the eyes of parents, Dementors are more terrifying existences than Death Eaters.If you meet a Death Eater, you can at least talk about strategies and find ways to protect yourself. When you meet a dementor... can you expect to reason with a dementor?This also made many parents who originally supported Dumbledore very dissatisfied. Let alone other things, it is their children who are now exposed to danger.

If it weren't for Dumbledore's repeated assurances that he would protect the children, if it weren't for Dumbledore's prestige for many years, perhaps there would be very few students willing to come to Hogwarts after Christmas.Anyway, Dumbledore barely made it through, though Severus and Voldemort didn't think it was a good thing for Dumbledore, and Gellert was noncommittal.

Dumbledore may be confident that he can control the situation, and even beat Fudge's increasingly arrogant arrogance in recent years, but in the eyes of Severus and Voldemort, Dumbledore is actually not sure of winning this round .Just like Dumbledore confidently admitted Lupine, didn't Severus almost become a victim in the end?

They couldn't stop this matter. Fortunately, Red's Patronus Charm was well mastered. Although Draco lacked magic power, he was able to summon the Patronus, which made them feel a little relieved.However, for the sake of safety, after discussing with Gellert, Severus and Gellert did not intend to take the little princess Rosalind to Hogwarts. Rosalind was still too young to protect herself in danger.

In addition to these big news, there is also a bit of bad news - James Potter, the current head of the Potter family, is missing.To be honest, few people paid attention to this matter at the beginning. After all, since the old Potter and his wife died, Potter hadn't really fulfilled his responsibilities as the head of the family. Those in the family felt that he was different from him.

Even Lily, who was supposed to be the closest to him, didn't feel much about her husband's disappearance. Over the years, she and Potter had quarreled and even fought over trivial matters. She wished that Potter would disappear for a while so that she could clean up.But when Potter doesn't appear in front of people all Christmas break, no one will feel normal anymore.

In view of the bad relationship between Lily and Potter, some people in the Potter family even wondered whether Lily might have something to do with Potter's disappearance, and this statement was also agreed by many people.This made Lily feel very uncomfortable. It was true that she often quarreled with Potter, and their relationship was almost exhausted, but she never thought of really hurting Potter.

Everyone can say that she is irresponsible and vain, but if you want to say that she is cruel, Lily Potter is not such a person.Lily, who had been wronged by her family, also left home immediately. Dialect must find Potter before returning. She seems to have completely forgotten that she has a son, Harry Potter, who was left unattended at Hogwarts.

This made people feel astonished and regretful. Although Lily and Potter have a bad relationship, it is really impossible to say that Lily will kill the killer. They were too anxious to speak at the beginning. Now it should be How to end?After all, Lily was looking for her husband. Even if people sympathized with Harry, they couldn't say that she made a mistake. In the end, wouldn't the responsibility all fall on them?

Of course, these were not the focus of Severus' attention. What depressed him most was that after the idiot left Hogwarts last semester, Dumbledore asked Lupine to take over the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.He was angry not only because of his grievances with Lupine, but also because Lupine was a werewolf. Didn't Dumbledore consider the consequences of losing control?

Hell, wasn't Hogwarts raising a bunch of dementors enough this term?Do you still want to raise a werewolf?Didn't Dumbledore regard Hogwarts as his back garden?Just when Severus was depressed and angry, Dumbledore's phoenix crashed into Severus' office, and Severus narrowed his eyes.No, here comes the debt repayment...

After getting the precious potion ingredients he wanted, Severus picked up the note that Dumbledore had sent him in a comfortable mood.He raised his eyebrows, Dumbledore asked to meet him?When Dumbledore so generously put the dementors and werewolves into Hogwarts, he never thought of informing him. Wouldn't it be possible to meet him now because he wanted him to provide Lupine with the wolfsbane potion for free?

Although they were in India at the time, if Dumbledore really wanted to discuss this matter with him, there was still a way to find him, but he had not received any notification, which means that Dumbledore had not even made an effort.Now I want him to help again, I really don't know where Dumbledore has such confidence, and where does he have such a thick skin.

Severus casually threw the phoenix that was crumpled by him out of the door, ignored the phoenix that flew away in a hurry, turned his head and kissed Gellert goodbye, and then left the office.Of course, he could also choose to go directly to the headmaster's office through the fireplace, but as long as he thought of Dumbledore's fireplace that would never be cleaned, Severus felt that he would rather walk a few steps.

Along the way, he thought about Dumbledore's possible purpose, and finally returned to the original guess, for Lupine's Wolfsbane Potion.Although the Order of the Phoenix has quite a large stall, it's a pity - there is no money.Especially because of Neville who went to Hufflepuff last year, the Longbottom family, which has always supported him, also reduced their capital injection, which made Dumbledore's life even more difficult.

Of course, even in difficult times, he could still support him to some extent, because in addition to the Longbottom family, he also had the Potter family who were willing to support him with all their financial resources.But the premise that the Potter family is willing to support the Order of the Phoenix so much is that Potter himself is present. Now that Potter and Lily are not here, although other members of the Potter family are still willing to provide some funds, the amount must not be as large as before.

Under such circumstances, Dumbledore had to tighten his belt to live.Although Wolfsbane Potion is not a luxury, it is not cheap either. It is not impossible for Dumbledore to provide Lupine with a bottle a month, but it is like cutting flesh from Dumbledore.Want Lupine to pay for it himself?No kidding, if Lupine has money, why bother wandering around.

As for not using Wolfsbane like Lupine did when he was a child?Although Dumbledore was very confident, he was not so confident yet.Lupine didn't use Wolfsbane Potion when he was a child because the effect of Wolfsbane Potion was too poor at that time, and it was not very useful after use. Moreover, Lupine was still young at that time, and adult professors could easily subdue him, so there was no need to worry too much about him hurting others.

But it's different now, Lupine has grown up, and after transforming into a werewolf, it's not something little wizards can compete with.Even if Dumbledore was relieved, other professors would not agree to let such a dangerous Lupine stay at Hogwarts. They agreed that the prerequisite for Lupine to teach at Hogwarts was Wolfsbane Potion.Without the wolfsbane potion, not even Dumbledore could make them compromise.

Severus closed his eyes and made up his mind before walking into Dumbledore's office.In the office, Dumbledore was looking at his phoenix that was devastated after only sending a letter.Severus also glanced at Phoenix, who was trembling when he saw him, and said insincerely: "What a pity, Mr. Principal, next time remember not to let it out of your sight in surprise."

The corner of Dumbledore's mouth twitched, and he decided not to bring up the subject of the phoenix, and knocked on the table to have the house-elf bring Severus a drink.Severus looked at the drink in front of him and his eyes twitched. Did Dumbledore deliberately retaliate against him?Is this stuff drinkable?Severus pushed his chair some distance away from the table so that he and the drink would be farther away.

Despite this, Severus could still feel the sweet taste of the drink seeping into his body through every pore of his body, making his stomach throbbing uncontrollably.He gave up the idea of ​​succumbing to Dumbledore, and now he just wants to deal with Dumbledore quickly and leave this office that makes him feel uncomfortable all over. "Say something quickly!"

Dumbledore shrugged, expressing his impatience with young people, and then said: "Severus, you already know that Lupine will be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. You were classmates back then. You are also aware of the situation, for the safety of the children, I hope you can provide Lupine with the wolfsbane potion, so that Hogwarts can safely spend every full moon night."

Severus twitched the corners of his mouth, "Mr. Principal wants me to brew Wolfsbane potion for Lupine? Sorry, my daughter Rosalind was born not long ago, and brewing Wolfsbane potion takes too much time, my I have to take care of Rosalind in my spare time. But I don't think Wolfsbane Potion is an out-of-print potion, Mr. Principal can buy it by himself."

Severus had already made up his mind that he would not be taken advantage of. The trouble was brought in by Dumbledore himself. Why should he help Dumbledore deal with the aftermath? He has never been such a kind person. "If Mr. Principal doesn't want to leak the news and make the outside world suspect, you can go to the potion store owned by the Prince family to purchase it. I will let them keep it a secret, for the sake of Prince's professional ethics."

Dumbledore gritted his teeth, unexpectedly Severus blocked his words directly.He smiled wryly, and said helplessly: "Severus, you also know that Hogwarts is not well-off financially, and Wolfsbane potion is not cheap..." He also knew that these words were not convincing to Severus , but he had to say that the Order of the Phoenix is ​​really too difficult right now.

"Then why don't you change Hogwarts to a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who doesn't need to spend this money?" Severus interrupted Dumbledore's complaints, he really wouldn't buy Dumbledore's account, "Of course, it's not that I can't understand this situation. If Hogwarts is going to purchase it, I will give a [-]% discount to the potion store owned by the Prince family."
