Chapter 563: Snape Became The New Horcrux? !
"Oh, that's it..." Blake rubbed his head, which was aching from sleep, and listened to Beck's report to him in a daze.
"It's okay for Severus to put up the oil painting. In fact, as long as he accepts the oil painting, it shows that he already knows that we understand the situation."
Blake picked up a glass of refreshing potion and drank it, and the headache caused by staying up all night gradually subsided.
"Master Blake, Professor Dumbledore asked Baker to help secretly observe Professor Snape. Do you want Si Ke to follow the principal's order?"
"It's okay, just do as he said." Blake's eyes regained consciousness.
"Master Blake, Baker will naturally follow your orders, Master. However, if Baker is busy, who can help Baker take care of Master?" Baker looked at Blake with concern.
When he came back just now, he found Blake's messy bedroom and almost fainted from shame.
Letting the master's bedroom become so messy is simply the biggest sin for a house elf!
No matter how busy you are with other things, you can’t forget your essential work!
"Oh, it's okay. It's better to be chaotic. I'm used to it. Go quickly. The task Professor Dumbledore has given you is very important. Also, you must pay attention to safety.'
Blake has a lot of secrets, so he is unwilling to let others enter his bedroom casually, even the school's house elf, so his bedroom has not been tidied up.
"Yes...Beck understands." Hearing what Blake said, Beck couldn't hold on any longer. He snapped his fingers and disappeared into Blake's bedroom.
Blake climbed out of bed and looked out the window.
At this time, the sky outside the window was completely dark, and I slept from nine in the morning to nine in the evening...
Blake rubbed his hungry stomach and walked out of his bedroom.
In the office, Cassandra and Hermione had gone back.
On the table, a dinner was being kept warm by magic, and a stack of papers was pressed under the dinner.
Blake picked up the paper and looked at it. It turned out that Cassandra and Hermione found unclear questions while reading today...
Seeing that Blake was still awake, they had no choice but to leave the question.
When Hermione left, she left a dinner for Blake...
I have to say, Hermione's dinner was really thoughtful.
While Blake was eating, he turned over the paper in his hand, planning to write down the answers for them on the paper after dinner.
Suddenly, Blake's hand that was turning the paper paused.
He pulled out a piece of parchment from the middle and looked at it carefully.
This piece of parchment was the long simplified version of the transformation potion recipe he used to test Snape last night.
However, this transformation potion formula is now different from before.
If the original formula for the transformation potion was only a semi-finished product that was half-researched, then now it has become somewhat complete...
Blake looked at the extra lines of slender letters on the paper and immediately figured out whose handwriting it was.
This is Cassandra's handwriting, and although this potion formula has only made a little progress, at Cassandra's current age, she can still calculate the formula to this extent without experiments. , has been very difficult.
Blake grinned. This level was much better than Snape's at the same age!
So, wouldn't Cassandra be more suitable to take the path of a potions master?
Blake put down the fork in his hand, picked up the pen, and started writing and drawing on this recipe.
Because Cassandra modified the version as the base, a completely perfect simplified version of the transformation potion was released soon!
The simplified version of the transformation potion made with this potion recipe cannot directly transform magical animals into humans like the original version, but it can easily give magical animals a way to change their body shape at any time. Elementary shapeshifting experience.
This ability can be to grow larger or smaller, or to change the shape of a certain part of the body at will.
Of course, the degree of transformation depends on the magic power of each magical animal... The stronger the magic power of a magical animal, the more forms it can transform into.
Blake's original intention in doing this was to give magical animals the ability to work.
Think about it, wouldn't it be more efficient if Dabao's claws could temporarily change into the shape of human hands and work?
But now it seems that... it may be possible to make some magical animals that had to be hidden because of the big warning, shrink their bodies and move in some specific locations.
However, this is not the time to do this yet, Blake has some serious things to do tonight!
After he hurriedly finished his dinner, he took out a lot of materials on the table and started working clinkingly.
Dabao stood up with sleepy eyes and glanced at Blake who was busy (bjaa), then turned over and hugged the stupid snake again and fell asleep.
It's so fast to sleep with this thing in my arms
"Otomoto...'
Snape looked at the potion in front of him that gradually turned into light blue, and sprinkled a handful of powder.
The light blue potion instantly turned into a penetrating purple, and also emitted a faint fluorescence, reflecting his pale face into purple.
Suddenly, Snape's face twitched because a sentence suddenly came into his mind.
"What? Why are you covering the painting that old fellow Dumbledore gave you?"
Snape tried his best to maintain the Occlumency and answered cautiously in his mind: "At Hogwarts, all the paintings are Dumbledore's spy... Only by covering them up can our secrets be protected from prying eyes."
"Oh? Really?" The voice in my heart sounded again, "Then why did you accept this painting?"
"...Dumbledore gave me paintings, but I refused to accept them. When working around him, even if I knew he was going to send me an eyeliner, I had to pretend to be stupid and accept it. Dumbledore's wariness towards me was actually never there. ……………………
"Then... if you cover it up, won't it make Dumbledore even more suspicious?" The voice in his heart sounded.
"Well... of course it won't work like this for a long time... I'll just deal with it like this temporarily. When he asks, I'll just say that I forgot to open the painting. This way, he won't doubt me. "Put it off as long as you can," Snape said cautiously in his mind.
"No...according to my investigation, Dumbledore should have trusted you very much over the years, so...you can't do anything to arouse Dumbledore's suspicion! Anyway...we want you to do Things like this will not be done in this office, so you'd better unwrap the black cloth now and hang the painting on the wall, "so as not to arouse Dumbledore's suspicion."
"Okay..." Snape used all his strength to perform Occlumency, suppressing the joy of success that arose in his heart, and calmly walked to the painting covered with black cloth, and slowly The ground opened the black cloth.
Snape couldn't lift the black cloth by himself. He had to ask the other party to order him to lift the black cloth in order to eliminate all suspicion... This was not easy.
"Good evening, Professor Snape." In the portrait, Mr. Lyle greeted Snape warmly, "Oh, are you brewing a refreshing potion? Ah... I think this color is awesome.
.....
Snape frowned. Sure enough... he still couldn't stand this kind of self-righteous old guy who didn't know that he was outdated and pointed at his potion... if it weren't for the convenience of Dumbledore. Get information...
Snape returned to the table without saying a word and looked at the potion on the table...
While running Occlumency, he also had to think about issues that could not be observed under the cover of Occlumency. This consumed a lot of Snape's energy. There was indeed something wrong with this pot of refreshing potion...
Feeling the strange thoughts in his mind gradually dissipate, Snape couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after the World Cup finals, Snape was once again blocked in her home by Bella and a group of dark wizards. This time, in addition to some temporarily subdued dark wizards, she was accompanied by Barty Jr. and... ...that man!
At that time, Snape was extremely happy that he had transferred little Lily to the Marian Orphanage...
Although that man has become completely different from before! In other words, he has become astonishingly weak!
However, with Barty Jr. and Bella, two powerful Death Eaters by his side, Snape knew that he could not kill him with one blow...
If you miss, you may be surrounded and killed by Bella and Barty Jr. with a group of dark wizards. Even if you can beat these people, you have a chance to lead them away calmly if you pull them!
Therefore, Snape had no choice but to deliberately surrender in front of that man as always.
Voldemort was very satisfied with Snape's performance.
So...for the rest of the summer vacation, Voldemort and the others hid in Snape's house.
When the holidays gradually came to an end, Hogwarts was about to start school... Snape also got his new mission.
That is, find a way to send Harry Potter to Voldemort, and then use his blood to resurrect him!
Of course, this was something Blake and Dumbledore couldn't think of. Logically speaking, it would be the simplest and most cost-effective method to just let Snape steal Harry's blood back.
But Blake and the others underestimated Voldemort's obsession... Voldemort wanted more than just resurrection!
He decided to kill Harry Potter with his own hands after his resurrection, to prove in front of his men that his defeat by Harry was just a ridiculous rumor! It was also to break the terrible psychological shadow in his heart!
It can be said that Harry, who resisted Voldemort's curse as a baby, has become the person Voldemort must kill with his own hands! Even without the original prophecy, he would have done this in ten days!
Snape accepted the task calmly, and planned to discuss what to do with Dumbledore after school started.
But... Voldemort doesn't trust him as much as he appears!
I don’t know what method he used to get a piece of Barty’s soul into his head!
In this way, all his actions are exposed in front of little Barty!
If his Occlumency had not reached an extremely high level, Snape would have been exposed on the day the soul fragment was implanted!
Snape guessed that this corner of the soul might have been split from Barty Jr.'s soul by Voldemort based on the Horcrux making method and stuffed directly into his head.
If Barty Jr. hadn't murdered anyone at that time, Snape would have suspected that he had become Barty Jr.'s Horcrux...
But this is completely normal, Voldemort will not truly trust anyone except himself!
Even Barty Jr. is the same.
Therefore, of course Voldemort would not tell Barty the secret of his immortality so easily!
However, even so, Voldemort's method also made Snape feel constrained...
Because now little Barty completely shares his vision and part of his thinking that was blocked by Occlumency.
Even at a critical moment, he can detonate the fragment of his soul and kill himself...
At this level, it was undoubtedly a great challenge for Snape to convey information to Dumbledore and the others without exposing himself!
On the night of the school dinner, Snape was still in the office using Occlumency to deal with Barty Jr.'s thoughts and thinking about what to do.
The matter was urgent and there was an urgent need for a way to break the situation. Of course, Snape couldn't leisurely cook a potion or something like before.
However, at that moment, Blake suddenly came to visit.
Snape knew that this guy was extremely smart. As long as he did something slightly different from usual, the other party would definitely notice it!
However, Snape was also worried that if he went too far, Barty Jr., who was secretly watching, would find out.
In fact, Snape was worried that Blake would directly ask why he was so abnormal!
In that case, the enemy will definitely be alerted!
Fortunately, that guy Blake is still as smart as ever.
When Snape was dealing with Blake, he was also clearly aware of the other person's temptation!
Until the end, when Blake left, he asked about the Guangzhou Yao that he was ashamed to talk about...
Blake hasn't mentioned that drug in a long time, and of course he won't mention it tonight for no reason!
Therefore, Snape deliberately said that he was still taking it.
Blake, who knew that he had stopped taking the medicine long ago, did not point out the problem, but persuaded himself to take the medicine in an appropriate amount...
Snape felt that this was a signal from Blake that he understood his situation!
Even so, Snape was so worried that he couldn't sleep on his first night at Hogwarts.
What if Blake understands it wrong? What if they act rashly? Or, what if Blake actually doesn't understand anything and asks himself those questions just to satisfy his bad taste?
However, early the next morning, after receiving Dumbledore's invitation, Snape knew that the matter had changed.
Sure enough, Dumbledore also tested himself, for example, giving himself a portrait of the potions master he hated most...
And Snape also responded, for example, without hesitation, he showed off the oil painting that he would never accept before!
After knowing that Dumbledore and the others were aware of his situation, Snape secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, how to convey information to Dumbledore and the others while hiding it from Barty Jr.'s consciousness is still his biggest problem!
"Snape... you can even make a mistake with such a simple refreshing potion? This is not your level." In his mind, Barty's consciousness that had faded suddenly came back again!
Snape raised his spirits and knew that the test was still going on... How could Barty leave a gap for him to take advantage of? His mind was always watching him DE!
"I just want to test whether dragon bone powder can enhance the energy-boosting potion... It's just an experiment." Snape said without changing his expression. .
