Chapter 560 Professor Snape Tonight Is Fake

Chapter 560 Professor Snape Tonight Is Fake

"It is with great regret that I inform you that the College Cup Quidditch Tournament will not be held this year." Dumbledore's speech made the students below wailed.

"Why!" Fred shouted the loudest.

And his twin brother was not to be outdone, looking at the teapot he was holding in his right hand.

It seems that if Dumbledore can't come up with a suitable explanation, he will throw the tea bag... to the Slytherins.

There is no other way, they don't dare to throw the principal away, right?

"This is because a large-scale event will officially start in October and last for the entire school year! This event takes up a lot of teachers' time and energy, so it is really a pity."

"However, what I can guarantee is that you will definitely get more fun from this event. I am very happy to announce to you that there will be an event at Hogwarts this year.

The activities that have been suspended for more than ten centuries have been suspended for more than ten centuries.

"Yes, it was originally the Triwizard Tournament, but a school intervened temporarily, but that's not important... I can only tell you that this is a very meaningful and exciting event. ……………”

On the stage, Dumbledore was still introducing the past Triwizard Tournament to the students, some of the history of the current Four Wizard Tournament, and some of the rules of the upcoming Four Wizard Tournament.

Almost everyone's attention was focused on the principal, but Blake's attention was elsewhere.

Now Blake is no longer sitting at Hufflepuff's long table as before. As the new professor, he is sitting in the faculty seat, right next to Professor Sprout.

And his eyes were currently looking at Professor Lupine, who was smiling and listening to Dumbledore's words.

This year, Moody won't be able to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Because Moody, who has "523" all his limbs, is currently working hard as a pride in the Ministry of Magic.

Therefore, if Voldemort still sneaks into Hogwarts as in the original work, then Professor Lupine will be their best target.

However, Blake's true eyes looked at Professor Lupin's face for a long time, but could not see that he had undergone human body transformation in any way............ similar to polyjuice potion or the like.

Could it be that Voldemort changed his approach this time? Or maybe he frightened them during the World Cup and they haven't recovered yet? So they didn't have time to implement the plan? Blake thinks this is very possible.

Professor Lupine seemed to feel Blake's gaze, and turned around to look at Blake in confusion.

However, he still smiled and nodded politely towards Blake......

At this time, the campus has almost finished talking about the content of this competition.

Because the Weasley twins below shouted again, "They can't do this! We will be seventeen next April! Why don't you let us give it a try?"

"Calm down, Fred, didn't you hear that? Students have died in competitions before.

"Lee Jordan! I'm George!"

"Tsk, how do I know? You are almost exactly the same!"

The students' opposition could not shake the rules agreed upon by several headmasters and the Minister of Magic during the holidays.

After the principal finished speaking, the students had no choice but to be taken back to their dormitories by their prefects to rest.

Rebecca stood in the Slytherin team. After seeing Blake's eyes, she waved to Blake with a smile on her face. Cassandra was standing next to her.

Rebecca's aura of Obscurus and past experiences made her, like her family's ancestors, sorted into Slytherin by the Sorting Hat, like Sirius.

In the Blake family, after all, they are rare.

Of course, if Rebecca had not experienced those tragedies, maybe she would really be a "rebellious" Blake like Sirius.

However, Blake also needs to worry about Rebecca. On the one hand, Rebecca is very strong now and no one can bully her. On the other hand, with Cassandra taking care of her, the little snakes will not get into trouble. .

After the students left, the other students also left one after another, and Blake followed their footsteps and walked out of the auditorium.

As he walked, he recalled his class schedule and found that the first class he had to attend was next Monday...

After all, as an elective course, the school must set aside enough time for students to consider whether to take it.

The elective courses are great because they give Blake enough time to do his own thing.

Blake's office and classroom were not located in the center of the castle, but were placed on the edge of the castle, in an empty tower next to the greenhouse.

He had moved in last school year.

When Blake returned to the office, the office had been neatly tidied by his sniffing.

At this time, Dabao, who had just finished his busy work, was bitterly baking a small cake for himself...

"Well done, Dabao! You saved me a lot of time! I told you a long time ago that Xiu Xiu is also capable of working."

"Zhizhizhi!" Dabao jumped up and down angrily.

A certain person has nothing to do and can still eat and drink in the auditorium, but this poor little Xiu Xiu has to work at home and has no food!

"Crack!"

A money bag landed on the table with a pleasant metal collision sound.

"This is your reward, Dabao. Since you have worked hard, you should naturally be paid... Well, here is your monthly salary."

Dabao looked at the money bag and suddenly felt that the cake was no longer fragrant. He ran to the small bag of money and opened the mouth of the bag impatiently.

One, two, no...

Dabao happily poured out twenty gold galleons from his money bag.

Not much...but this is earned from the evil Blake!

He stuffed these gold galleons one by one into his breast pocket with great treasure...

Blake just picked up a small cake that Dabao had just baked and took a bite. As if he felt something, he took out a small mirror from his pocket.

This is a two-way mirror, and on the other side of the two-way mirror is Lady Marianne.

Because Lady Marianne is a Muggle and cannot use the magic address book, Blake gave her a two-way mirror so that she could contact him at any time, which is much faster than an owl.

"Good evening, Lady Marian." Blake smiled.

"Good evening, Blake."

"What's the matter?"

"Well, Blake...did you see...um, Professor Snape tonight?"

Blake recalled that in the auditorium just now, Snape was sitting in the faculty seat with a coffin face as usual.

"Yes, I saw him."

"Well... that's good. It's great that he's okay." Mrs. Marian said: "Not long ago, he suddenly brought little Lily to my place, and then he never came to see it. The child... I know how much he loves this child. He has been indifferent to his words, which is very abnormal... So, I thought something might have happened to him... "

Blake thought about the Lestrange couple's previous escape from prison and quickly guessed something.

Snape was probably worried that these two former colleagues would come to him and find out about little Lily.

Snape couldn't bet on the reaction of the two desperadoes when they saw the child...

Let alone little Lily, he wasn't even sure whether the two desperadoes would let him, the apparent "traitor" go!

That's why Snape temporarily sent little Lily to Madam Marian, and then faced everything alone.

"I think Professor Snape did encounter something, but we will help him get through it, please don't worry." Blake comforted Mrs. Marian.

"Okay... It's okay. By the way, little Lily has occasionally called daddy." Mrs. Marian smiled, "I have never seen such a smart child... Well, Except you, Blake."

When Blake's eyes light up, will the children call him daddy? Why don't you use this to increase Snape's strength? Let's have some fun and get some system rewards or something by the way?

After saying goodbye to Lady Marian, Blake looked at his watch.

It's only half past nine, and for Hogwarts, it's already curfew time.

But for people like Snape, the night has just begun at nine-thirty in the evening. Maybe he's brewing some weird potions in his dungeon office right now.

After Blake finished the small cake in his hand, he left his tower and walked towards the dungeon.

After Dabao ordered the gold galleons, he ignored Blake who left. His master was a night owl, and he knew it very well.

However, Yinbao's joyful mood immediately fell to the bottom.

Why is there one missing piece of cake that Ben Xiangxiu baked!?

There are only three creatures in the house. The stupid snake doesn't want to eat the cake, so who else can eat it?

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

This is exploitation! Naked exploitation!

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

Blake just knocked on the door. The door was opened instantly.

Snape stared blankly at Blake, "Is that you? Why are you here so late?"

"Oh, I recently encountered a small problem with a new potion formula I was researching, so I wanted to discuss it with you. Maybe you can give me some inspiration."

There were too many potions that Blake was researching, so he casually took out a half-researched potion formula.

"Oh, you still need to discuss it with me?" Snape still had a straight face, but his eyes were already looking at the formula in Black's hand.

Blake secretly smiled inwardly. Sure enough, even though this guy was tough-talking, he was still very enthusiastic when he saw the new potion formula...

"On academic issues, it is not advisable to work behind closed doors. Only through communication can we get better results." Blake said with a smile.

Snape turned and walked into the house, but the door was not closed.

Blake walked in naturally.

Snape's office was as cold as ever.

However, Blake was a little surprised that Snape's cauldron, which never seemed to be empty, was now empty.

Maybe he just came back and didn't have time to brew the potion?

Blake calmly pulled up a chair and sat in front of Snape's desk.

"You didn't close the door." Snape, who was sitting opposite, said expressionlessly.

"Oh. Sorry." Blake snapped his fingers and the door was closed.

"Recipe," Snape said.

"Here, here you go." Blake handed over the formula in his hand.

This is a simplified recipe for the transformation potion. In fact, the transformation potion rewarded by the system, although powerful, allowed Nagini to regain her body.

However, because the materials needed are so precious, it is basically difficult to mass produce. Therefore, Blake planned to simplify it, but he had too much research on hand, so he only completed half of the work and put it aside for the time being. However, even though this is a formula that Blake has simplified a lot, it is still a good thing rewarded by the system. It is still qualified to take it out to fool Snape at this time. "Is this a potion formula that can transform people?" Snape frowned. Blake was slightly stunned, not knowing whether it was his own illusion, he saw a trace of panic in Snape's eyes? "Why do you study the potion formula for transformation when you have nothing to do?" Snape asked while looking at the recipe. Blake said calmly: "Because of curiosity. You can't deny that curiosity is the best driving force for human development... If there is no curiosity, why do we do research? Why do we do experiments?"

"Hmph......" Snape didn't comment, but he seemed to tighten his grip on the formula...

Blake stared at Snape for a while, and suddenly asked: "You just figured it out... This is a potion formula that makes people transform?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Snape said, "But what do you think is wrong and you want to ask me about it?"

"Oh..." Blake took the formula thoughtfully, and then took out a piece of paper and a pen, and quickly wrote down the names of more than ten materials on the paper.

"It's still too expensive to fake this formula, so I've been looking for cheaper substitutes among these materials... Which of these materials do you think can do the job?"

Snape took the paper and formula again, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Although these materials are cheap, they can't compare with the original formula in terms of efficacy. In my opinion, they don't need to be replaced. Besides, potions are supposed to be effective, so why do we have to pursue low prices? Besides, the materials in your recipe are not very expensive. They are already cheap. There is no need to pursue such extreme cost control, which will affect the efficacy. " "Well... you have a point." Blake took back the recipe and the paper with the materials. "Okay, thank you for your help tonight, then... I'll leave first. "Please." Snape said. "Remember to close the door when you leave." Blake walked to the door and noticed that Snape picked up a potion book and seemed to be preparing to read it. Tonight, Snape's cauldron seemed to be out of favor. Blake pulled the door, but when the door was about to close, he suddenly asked: "Severus, do you still drink the potion I gave you before?" Snape was stunned for a moment, then said: "Of course! What's wrong?" "Nothing, I just want to say that medicine should be used in moderation... Don't indulge too much." Blake said, and then closed the door. After the door was closed, the smile on Blake's face disappeared instantly.

He didn't tell Snape that the child would call him dad, which he had planned to share with him, because it was no longer necessary...

After leaving the dungeon, Blake did not return to his office, but went directly to the principal's office through the dimensional door.

Dumbledore was wearing a purple nightgown and a blue nightcap on his head, leaning on a chair and reading a book comfortably.

"………………I remember that I told you the password, but since you came in so anxiously, you must have encountered something urgent..."

When he saw Blake suddenly breaking in, Dumbledore put down the book and entered a listening state.

"It's true that I was a little anxious... Today, the Professor Snape we saw was fake."
