Only the white snow can look a little monotonous, and it can easily lead to snow blindness over time.

So I don't know who said it, if there is a little blood red in the snow, it must be a very beautiful scenery.

It's like the Western description of beauty, like the image of Snow White: skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood.

However, when this white and red scenery really appears in front of you, I'm afraid that no normal person will really feel beautiful.

Just like Cetina now.

Setina, who was originally full of ideas and was in a good mood, and her singing voice was passionate and loud, and she was singing to a climax, suddenly stopped.

It's also a shame that Setina's personality has almost fused, and when she sings, it has a strengthening effect on herself, otherwise there must be a scream that sounds now.

It's like the sound of every murder scene in Conan!

Severus frowned at a small patch of red in the woods not far away, which became more and more conspicuous as the snowflakes brought up by Setina.

"You two, take out your wands." Severus said lightly, taking out his wand himself before approaching the bloodstain.

"Professor, is it the blood of a beast?" Gwen Jones couldn't help asking.

Severus had already cleared the snow from the bloodstains, and if the large blood stain leaked came from one person, I am afraid that it would be a little troublesome, and maybe his life would be in danger.

"No, it's human." Severus frowned and said, "And it's magic damage." ”

Severus didn't go into too much detail, and it looked like the blood was supposed to be heading into the woods, but now with two students by his side, even if Gwen and Setina were not weak, Severus still didn't want to take the risk.

The point is, Severus looked at the blood stains as if there was some black magic, and it was better to be cautious when encountering black magic.

Severus then raised his wand and launched a string of red glows into the sky, like fireworks, blasting a beautiful shape over the snow-covered town.

Of course, no one appreciates it.

People who saw the signal quickly gathered, and students quickly gathered and returned to school.

This is an emergency signal for Hogwarts, and anyone who is a Hogwarts student will know about it, and of course the wizards who have been in Hogsmeade all year round know it.

In just a few moments, Dumbledore and McGonagall arrived, followed not far by a few Hogsmeade wizards, such as Lady Rosmerta with Three Broomsticks, Mr. Froome from Duke Honey, and Aberforth hiding in the distance. Dumbledore et al.,

"What's going on, Severus?" McGonagall asked.

Severus just turned sideways, allowing McGonagall to look behind herself.

Dumbledore had already seen the red of that patch.

"Blood?"

Dumbledore said differently, then waved his wand and began to detect.

"Human blood, mana fluctuations, damage caused by magic," Dumbledore pondered for a moment, then said, "McGonagall, you go and count the number of students and see if there are any injured students!" ”

"Albus~, you mean, maybe ~~ is a student...?" McGonagall asked a little nervously, she was a little worried about whether the student had been killed, this bloodstain was not small.

"Go ahead, McGonagall, I can't make a decision yet." Then Dumbledore said, "Take these two little girls back too, Severus, and you will accompany me into the woods." ”

When McGonagall had disappeared, Dumbledore walked into the woods, avoiding the other wizards, before asking, "Severus, will you tell us your conclusions?" ”

"Black magic, undoubtedly caused by black magic." Severus pondered for a moment, then added, "But it shouldn't be a student, the dark magic in his blood obviously comes from himself, that is, it is the blood of some wizard who practices dark magic. ”

"That's right, but it's also possible that the dark wizard's own blood," Dumbledore continued, if it was his own blood, it would be troublesome, this dark wizard who can still move freely with a lot of blood~~" Dumbledore organized his words, and then said, "I'm afraid things are a little tricky." ”

"Oh," Severus asked differently, "you also find it tricky?" ”

"Obviously, Severus, anyway, this is a dangerous dark wizard, a dangerous dark wizard ran to Hogsmeade, what do you say he wants to do?"

The two of them said as they slowly walked into the woods.

"Yesterday, Ed was discharged from St. Mungo's hospital and sneaked out on his own."

Dumbledore continued to whisper, as he spoke, and as he spoke, there were traces of blood that stretched out of the snow into the woods, close to the place where Rozier had fought the last time.

"Ed?" Severus thought back to the lucky supporting actor for a moment, then asked, "Is he alright?" ”

"No, and it's said to be more serious." Dumbledore said mockingly, "Minister Bagnore told me yesterday after he ran away. ”

"Ed may have been cast with a powerful Imperius curse, or maybe he was under the influence of dark magic."

"Huh?" Severus thought for a moment, then said, "That box is Ed's?" ”

"That's right, he's probably more affected than Peeves!"

Dumbledore's expression was serious.

I'm afraid this is true, and as far as Severus guesses, I don't know how much sanity this unfortunate bastard has left.

"How did he put the box at Hogwarts on Halloween?" Severus asked, then thought for a moment, "It's Charles. Singleman help? ”

"I'm afraid so, Severus, and it's not clear how he managed to suppress the dark magic on himself," Dumbledore paused, then turned back to Severus, "I suspect your potions may have had a bad effect on him, even if they didn't get on him." ”

Severus nodded in agreement, potions don't have an effect when you drink them, they also have smells, like aphrodisiacs.

If he had really been contaminated with potions, I'm afraid Ed wouldn't have persevered until now.

In some ways, that little potion was more like the straw that broke the camel's back.

Severus waved his wand, and the snow on the ground dispersed, leaving traces of bloody paintings.

"It's an old circle," Dumbledore looked at it, then breathed a sigh of relief, "It doesn't look too serious, it's just a strengthened circle, and it looks like that lucky guy still retains a lot of sanity." ”

"That's right, but it's clear that his strength has been strengthened, is this a sacrifice for himself? In order to gain the power to suppress the confusion of the mind? Or is it just a stupid thing to do because of confusion? Severus said coldly.

The two didn't have much sympathy.

This is the case in the wizarding world, and of course you are responsible for what you do.

As for whether he can survive in the end, it depends on Ed himself.

"Still, Severus, you have to be careful, Ed doesn't miss you much in St. Mungo!"

Dumbledore finally reminded.

Then, the two returned to school together.
