The Rise of Malfoy at Hogwarts

Schelling thought for a while, now that his relationship with Snape has progressed to this point, and he has also shown some strength and influence, it seems that he can try to recruit him.

So Schelling asked, "Professor, what are you going to do after the Dark Lord returns? Do you follow Dumbledore's instructions to go to the Dark Lord and undercover for him?"

Rao Yi Snape's cold face that was like a ten thousand year iceberg couldn't hold it at this moment, and suddenly changed color. He cried coldly: "What are you talking about?"

Xie Lin shook his head and smiled: "Professor, you are my father's best friend and the dean I respect. I always treat you as my own! You ask me about the missing students, but I am There is no concealment, I will tell you the truth directly—"

"It's not interesting enough for you to be a party now." Schelling said: "There are smart fortune-tellers among my allies, so I don't really know nothing about the future. I'm not afraid to tell you honestly. I have seen your ending!"

Snape's pupils shrank slightly, and his whole body shook slightly. He thought for a while before he said, "Am I dead?"

"Yes, Professor," Schelling said in a sighing tone: "You are like a tragic hero, and you die under the infamy of a traitor, and Potter has also embarked on the path you and Dumbledore arranged. , Have a one-on-one decisive battle with the Dark Lord..."

"What's the result?" Snape's body trembled visibly, this time he finally left his usual restraint, and he asked eagerly, even breathing a little.

Schelling shook his head and said, "This is difficult to tell. From the results of the divination, the Dark Lord died in a duel, but Harry also entered the Netherworld at the same time, which means that he may die, but he may also return. In this world... even a master of divination cannot see all the future..."

Snape's face seemed to be stuffed into a mouthful, how ugly and ugly.

Dumbledore!

We agreed to protect Lily’s child together. Is that how you protect it?

What a clever man Snape was. Although he only heard the final result from Schelling’s words, he immediately figured out the key. Harry was clearly put on stage by Dumbledore and used it to deal with Voldemort. arms!

This old man, who has the power to shake the earth and earth, blindly and foolishly entrusted all his hopes to an ethereal prophecy!

At this time, Schelling spoke in a timely manner, "Professor, I can help you change this situation...you don't have to die, and Potter doesn't have to fight the Dark Lord..."

Snape's lips trembled, but he turned around and looked away. The two fell silent for a while.

After a long time, he finally turned around to face Xie Lin, and said with difficulty: "What price do I need to pay..."

"Professor, don't think about me so much..." Sherring said amusedly, "Let's put it this way! Among my allies are master alchemists, master divination masters, expert magical animals, master herbal medicine... only to pay for it. There is a lack of a potion master, do you understand what I said?"

Snape restored his always indifferent face and nodded.

"I will give you a list of students," Schelling said: "You will continue to be your dean and professor at Hogwarts, but you must provide the students on the list with what you can. The greatest help provided."

"Yes." Snape nodded, these things were simply a matter of effort for him.

"After the Dark Lord returns, hey," Xie Lin smiled, "The world will be divided into three camps on the surface-those who follow the Dark Lord, those who oppose the Dark Lord, and those who refuse to believe in the return of the Dark Lord, don't doubt it. All of these have been shown in the divination results, and none of us will join—"

Schelling’s eyes glowed with a confident look, and his voice was low and powerful, “We are lurking in the dark, letting them fight on their own, and finally come out as a savior to clean up the mess... Don’t worry, I will make sure in the process. Potter will be fine... do I need to make an unbreakable vow?"

Snape stared at Schelling with deep eyes for five seconds, and then whispered, "No need."

"Well, professor," Xie Lin finally showed a sincere smile, "then I wish us a happy cooperation, and I will count on your care in the future."

["Ally" Severus Snape won! 】

Snape snorted inconspicuously, and then as if suddenly remembering something, he said, "Before you go, there is another thing. During this summer vacation, I haven't heard from the exact time yet, but It is estimated that it will be around mid-August. The 85th Wizarding Inter-School Potions Championship will be held in the magical garden in the French Pyrenees. Improved the potion formula?"

The Potions Championship is a long-established potion industry event. It was originally held to commemorate Quintia Mcquoid in the early fifteenth century, a man who lost his life in order to research and invent a potion to treat malaria. The pharmacist later gradually transformed into a competitive platform used by major magic schools to show the level of potions.

Participating in this competition is conditional. Participants must be students from one of the 11 most famous magic schools in the world and must be recommended by a potion master.

At the beginning of the 16th century, Sigmund Bach, the author of The Book of Potions, wanted to participate in the Potions Championship when he was fourteen years old. At that time, he was already the best student in the class of potions, and he was even able to correct the teacher's mistake in using the tail of the soft claw shrimp to make potions. However, due to his ordinary family background, he did not have any recommendation from a potion master, so he could only ask the then principal of Hogwarts for help.

But the principal rejected him on the grounds that he was under seventeen and the tournament was too dangerous for him. Because of this, he applied for dropout from Hogwarts in a rage. He felt that Hogwarts just wanted to stifle his chance of becoming a pharmacist. After leaving the school, he discovered that only the contestants representing the school could participate in the tournament, and he was no longer eligible if he had left Hogwarts.

It is not that he has never tried to transfer to other magic schools, but because of his unremarkable appearance and ragged clothes, he was not taken seriously by other schools. So proud he ran to Hemet on the Hebride Islands alone. He lived in seclusion on the island, where he studied his potions without distraction, and finally wrote the "Book of Potions".

His outstanding contributions include the inventing of charming potions that are full of charm, poisons used to destroy Humeizi, and the elixir with amazing effects. In addition, he also improved many ancient potions, such as shrinking potions and sleeping potions.

As mentioned earlier, the ancient sleep potion was originally made with moondew grass. It was Bazi who came up with wormwood to replace moondew grass and created the prototype of the decoction of living hell.

As mentioned earlier in this book, there are three highest honors for students in the global magical world, namely the "Triwizard Tournament", the "Cairo International Alchemy Conference", and the "Witcher Inter-School Potions Championship". Both are international-level competitive competitions.

Winning one of these three international competitions is enough to make a name in the international wizarding world. Of course, the wizarding world is not without other competitions and awards, such as "Banabus Finkley Award for Outstanding Spelling Techniques", "International Wizarding Chess Competition", etc., but their gold content is not comparable to the first three. Comparable.

Although Schelling has participated in the Triwizard Tournament, he did not want to let go of the other two competitions. He wants to be the Triple Crown, to be an existence beyond Dumbledore!

(Note: For comparison, Dumbledore’s achievements as a student are: Barnabus Finkley Award for Outstanding Spelling Techniques, and Gold Award for Pioneering Contributions at the Cairo International Alchemy Conference)

"Yes, Professor," Xie Lin took out a bottle of Blue Flame Potion from his arms. "This is a work I invented when I was in the first grade. It was inspired by Muggle's combustion accelerator, but it has been through my countless times. The improvement has been enough to increase the intensity and temperature of the flame by at least ten times."

Snape's eyes moved slightly, and he could invent potions in the first grade, even if it was just a crude work, it was quite remarkable.

He took out an ancient formula of "delighting agent" and said: "If I asked you to improve this formula, what would you do?"

Schelling just glanced at it casually, and said faintly: "The biggest problem with the euphoria is nothing more than the side effects of singing and nose-twisting because of excessive excitement. You can start to counteract the side effects—"

"The common method is to add peppermint to it, which is already very good." Xie Lin said.

Snape's brow furrowed deeply. "You mean... Besides peppermint, there is actually a better way to improve it?"

"Passiflora (passiflora)." Schelling said confidently: "Passiflora can make people calm down from excessive excitement."

(Note: Modern Chinese botany translates passion flower into passion flower, but the author still thinks passion flower is easy to remember)

Snape couldn’t tell the expression on his face. It seemed to be a little disappointed, but there were also some expressions similar to "this is normal." It will weaken the effect of the euphoria."

"Not necessarily." Xie Lin said: "Professor, you once said that potions are a precise science and strict craftsmanship. Passion is spent in the herbal sequence and belongs to Mercury, and it is also in the Leo sequence. Just control the timing of refining medicine. For example, when Mercury moves between the sun and us, the effect of the flower of enthusiasm can only appear after the side effects of the potion appear."

Snape fell into silence. He mimicked the process of refining medicine described by Schelling in his heart, and calculated the success rate of formulating the euphoria agent described by Schelling. After a long while, he nodded, "It does work."

Then, Snape took out a roll of parchment from his arms and handed it to Schelling, "This is a recommendation letter I wrote for you. With this, you can participate in the Potions Championship. I think with your strength. There is no problem in participating in this competition. I will explain to him personally from Dumbledore. His ideal candidate for the contest is actually Gryffindor’s boy student council president Moen."

Xie Lin snorted and sneered disdainfully. "The principal really takes care of Gryffindor. If I remember correctly, the president of the Boys’ Student Council has been dominated by Gryffindor for three consecutive years, right? I’m still not satisfied. Should I even decide on candidates for other competitions? If the Triwizard Tournament is not selected by neutral magic items, should Gryffindor's warriors be arranged for the battle?"

(Note: Throughout the book, all known male and female student council presidents, except our Lord Voldemort, are all Gryffindor-Dumbledore, McGonagall, James, Lily, Bill, Percy)

Snape's face was also very gloomy, which reminded him of the fact that a certain campus bully became the president of the Boys’ Student Council, but he still said coldly: "This is not the case. Moen The level of potions is indeed very good, and the grade is also older than you. After all, the competition is still quite dangerous. Of course, I think you are definitely better than him in terms of potion preparation methods and raw material combinations. The problem is that he understands. There are more types of potions than you, after all, he has learned your potions for three more years."

He first thought about it, and then said: "But this is not a big problem. There are still many months before the game. You can take the opportunity to improve your knowledge of the types of potions. In this regard, you only need to read more books and practice more. If you don’t understand, you can always ask me for advice."

"Okay, thank you professor in advance."

After that, Schelling didn't forget to take this opportunity to take out Snape's magic research notes and ask him some questions about the magic spell he invented and "flying without a vehicle".

After solving the doubts one by one, Schelling politely bid farewell to Snape with a contented expression.
