Chapter 68 Flexible Standards
After about three minutes, Professor Snape reluctantly came out of the fireplace.
He looked at Dumbledore with a gloomy face, and was about to say something weird and let the headmaster know what private time was, but found that Scamander was here.
Could it be that Night Tour was arrested?
He suddenly felt a little gloating.
Snape sniffed and smelled a bloody smell, then turned his head and saw a white creature lying on the table.
"Unicorn?" He frowned and said, "Dumbledore, what I want is the corpse of a fire dragon. How did you get me a unicorn?"
"Professor Snape, this is not for you." Dumbledore explained: "It is injured, but there is black magic on the wound, and Rove can't heal... I think this is your field of expertise, let Let's take a look."
"..."
Snape twitched the corner of his mouth... Dumbledore's research in the field of black magic is more advanced than anyone else, so why should he be asked for such a thing?
He glanced at Scamander again, slandered in his heart, and couldn't help cursing inwardly:
"You don't want your beloved student to know that you are proficient in black arts, so leave all the dirty work to me, right?
Dumbledore? ! "
Snape snorted coldly, and casually inspected the unicorn's wound, intending to find a reason to shirk it, but after a few glances, his expression became more and more serious.
He looked Dumbledore in the eye one last time, and asked sullenly, "Who did this?"
Even if the wolf king of the wolf pack has been missing for a long time, if an ordinary male wolf suddenly smells urine by a tree one day, he will still be able to sense that it is from the wolf king.
Snape is like a male wolf, he smelled the "piss smell" of the former boss Dark Lord from the black magic!
Snape was so familiar with that smell! !
"In the Forbidden Forest, a wizard attacked this unicorn and wanted to suck its blood." Dumbledore said flatly: "Okay, Severus, hurry up and treat me, I will deal with the rest later. Tell you."
Snape's lips moved slightly.
In the end, still holding the wand, aiming at the unicorn's wound, he murmured a series of complicated spells in a low voice, and then hurried back to his office, took back a bottle of crimson liquid medicine, and cleaned the unicorn's wound.
"Wash it three more times, and the black magic will be eliminated." Snape threw the potion on the table.
Seeing Rove put away the bottle, Snape turned his gaze away, stared at the boy with pursed lips, and asked:
"I'm even more curious, why did Scamander stay here in the middle of the night?"
"I'm here to detoxify this unicorn, Professor Snape." Rove said lightly, "It's also poisoned by snakes."
"Dress like this in the middle of the night to detoxify?" Snape looked at Rove's strange attire and sneered, "I think you just came back from the Forbidden Forest?"
"Principal, how many points should be deducted for a student who goes to the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night?" Snape asked in a cold voice.
Phineas, who was pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes, arched his eyes and said, "Should be fired immediately!"
"Thank you for your suggestion, Phineas." Snape smiled maliciously, "No wonder everyone says you are the best headmaster at Hogwarts!"
"I think so too." Phineas stroked his goatee and boasted to each other: "Severus, I think you can become the principal one step ahead of Minerva in the future..."
The headmasters on the wall stopped pretending to be asleep and started arguing with Phineas, especially the Hufflepuff and Gryffindor headmasters.
"Since Scamander violated the school rules and went to the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night, I think Hufflepuff will deduct 100 points." Snape said in a greasy voice, "Is it reasonable, Dumbledore?"
The old man closed his eyes and nodded, "It's a reasonable punishment."
Snape grinned, almost gloating.
At this moment, the door was knocked open, and Hagrid's burly body rushed in. He was still holding a large donkey skin bag, which was thrown to the ground with a bang.
"I'm not too late, Professor Dumbledore... Rolf, this is the herb you asked for! How is the unicorn?"
The mouth of the donkey skin bag was wrapped with long unicorn hair. After Rove untied it, he opened the bag:
Baixian, Yanaicao...all are precious herbs, as if they don't cost money, a big bag full!
Snape sat on the chair, picked up a cup of tea, and took a few sips. He thought that a small broken bag could hold something good, but when he saw the big bag of herbs, the tea almost spewed out, and his eyes were straight. up.
"Hagrid, have you moved Professor Sprout's greenhouse here?"
"Ah, you're here, Professor Snape." Hagrid seemed to have noticed him, scratching his hair and saying, "I picked these up from the Forbidden Forest."
"..."
Snape had also been to the Forbidden Forest, why couldn't he pick up these herbs?
Rove saw Snape put down the teacup, hands behind his back, and walked over, he quickly tied the bag tightly.
"Thank you, Hagrid, you helped me a lot. I will heal the unicorn, don't worry."
"That's good."
Rove dragged the bag and was about to throw it into his box. Seeing Snape approaching, he quickly waved his hand and said:
"Professor, I can move it by myself without your help... Aren't you going to sleep? Go back quickly!"
Snape froze for a moment, gritted his teeth angrily, and wanted to deduct points from Scamander, but found no reason, after all, he had just deducted 100 points.
Snape looked at the herbs, his throat moved slightly, he had his own private storage room, but herbs were never enough, especially with his speed of brewing potions... the gap was huge.
Don't ask why you don't sell potions to make money to buy herbs, isn't that a beggar on your knees?
Who wouldn't want a big bag of herbs these days for free?
Snape rolled his eyes, "I think this bag of herbs should be handled by me. The potion that was given to the unicorn just now is very expensive, and I need compensation."
"Professor, the unicorn doesn't belong to me. You saved it out of kindness. I shouldn't compensate you, but the school compensates you." Rove blinked and said:
"This bag of herbs is Hagrid's personal property, he gave it to me as a gift, and it is my personal property.
If you want compensation from the school, you should go to Professor Sprout... Oh, forgot, you just deducted 100 points from Hufflepuff, what a pity. "
Snape's face was black, with a disgusted look of stepping on rotten shit, he resisted the discomfort, and said against his will:
"Scamander, given that you rescued a unicorn, I think it's a very special gesture... Hufflepuff might get fifty... one hundred points, what do you think, Professor Dumbledore ?”
"It's a fair penalty, Severus. I'm very pleased that you don't stick to school rules and have flexible standards for adding and deducting points." Dumbledore smiled.
For a moment, Snape didn't know whether the headmaster was praising him, or blaming him, but he still said, "Then this herb..."
"Rove, give half of the points to Professor Snape, let him give you extra points, which is rarer than deducting points from Slytherin."
Snape snorted coldly, and he just had to find a few excuses to hold it back in the future, and he began to pick out his own herbs triumphantly.
Precious, old, and good-looking ones are all kept for myself, and the poor ones are left for Scamander.
Then Snape heard Hagrid whisper:
"Rove, if you still need herbs, I still have them. There are several big bags. I sometimes use them as fodder to feed thestrals and hippogriffs..."
Snape: "..."
After everyone left, Professor Dumbledore waved his wand to disperse the smell of blood in the room.
He walked to the window and, under the moonlight, turned his head to look at the scenery outside Hogwarts.
From that Quidditch match and tonight's encounter, he already knew where Tom was hiding.
He thought that Tom would be more restrained before he got the Philosopher's Stone, but he didn't expect that he would be so bold tonight and fight him directly.
Tom should also be vigilant. Could it be that he intends to abandon the servant Quirrell and start a new plan?
Dumbledore turned his head and looked towards Gryffindor Tower, where he could see Harry's bedroom.
Dumbledore put the Sorcerer's Stone in Hogwarts just to attract Voldemort, to further observe his state, and to train Harry.
But Harry's progress is a bit too slow now, it seems that he needs to reveal more information.
