Chapter 129: The plot that is getting more and more anticipated
December, winter, the weather becomes very cold.
Yesterday, the first snow fell at Hogwarts, covering the entire castle, and from a distance, it really looks like a fairytale castle in the snow, full of Western dreamy and beautiful flavor.
Severus stood on the edge of the Forbidden Forest and watched the scene.
Hogwarts has a lot going through university, and students are already used to the climate, and even first-year students won't find it surprising that they will only snowball in the snow and roll it around twice.
As for building a snowman, it's just too simple for a wizard with magic, and as a result, no one plays this "kid's" game.
"Don't you think it's beautiful? Severus? β
Dumbledore didn't know when he appeared next to Severus, he also looked at the castle in the distance, and said with pride.
"Maybe you don't think some of our practices are good enough, but, Severus, you have to admit that we have made what we think is the best option." Dumbledore said with emotion, "Although some are not good for Slytherin, but, for the sake of Hogwarts, we can only do this, do you understand?" β
Severus hadn't spoken to Dumbledore since they had spoken before.
In recent days, Severus has been teaching as normal, locking up students, deducting Gryffindor grades, and then occasionally learning about Quidditch training in Slytherin.
Severus himself Quidditch is still very good, although it is not described in the novel, but. Severus had served as a Quidditch referee, and the whole school had no objections.
Of course, Gryffindor doesn't count!
This period of time was the most comfortable time Severus lived, which made Severus have a strong affection for this castle and a sense of home again.
Moreover, nothing happened during this period of time.
Except for Charles. Singleman is getting more and more nervous.
The Quidditch tournament has also come to an end, and the second half of the tournament will take place after Valentine's Day the following year.
Gwen was ready to come back with a Quidditch Cup.
Severus, of course, was supportive, and the entire Slytherin students were confident, even Rozier.
After a month of confinement, the Roziers were finally settled, allowing Severus's plan to come to fruition.
Slytherin, in addition to lashing out at Gryffindor as usual, has resumed relations with Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.
At least it won't be tense, and it's cautious as soon as they meet.
In other words, the Slytherin crisis has been preliminarily over.
Now let's see when they can win the Academy Cup again, and Severus' plan to win the Academy Cup is already underway.
He plans to win the House Cup in the past few years before Harry Potter enrolls, more than six times in the original book, and it is above board.
Of course, Severus will not stop some small means that do not violate the rules.
Like the Quidditch method that Severus gave to Gwen, the "attrition plan"
That's what Severus means, and it's absolutely in line with the rules.
It's a couple of players staring at each other, and then knocking him off the field, and so on, which is the job of Gwen Jones, who plays the batsman.
As long as it is done well, then it is easy for the other party to reduce the number of personnel.
Bludgers are really powerful
There are not a few players in history who have been directly killed by Bludger, let alone just quitting.
Quidditch has no substitutes, and once you leave, you can only face the situation of playing more with less.
Especially once the Seeker leaves, then the whole game can only be seen when the opponent wants it to end.
And as it happens, the Slytherin batsmen and Seekers are not bad.
As for Dumbledore's warning or consolation, who cares about him!!
If other Slytherins were tempted, Severus was convinced.
Only a wizard who has practiced dark magic will know how terrible this thing is,
Not its power, but the damage to the wizard itself.
The release of black magic requires strong negative emotions, which itself affects the will of the individual, and most of the black magic released attacks the will of the soul, and it will also carry its own will, which is like killing a thousand enemies and damaging eight hundred.
It is also for this reason that there is a saying why killing others will split one's own soul.
It is also for this reason that Voldemort can split the soul to make a Horcrux by killing people and adding certain means.
But Voldemort was made into a Horcrux.
Most of the other wizards who used the dark magic to kill people became neurotic, and the more they killed, the worse they became.
Like Bella.
The distortion of the soul is the greatest danger of dark magic.
Severus knew all of this, but he still dared to practice the Dark Arts, even with the will of Nidhogg, the god of death.
Severus, who was soul splitting and merging, could feel this kind of damage more than Dumbledore, and naturally, he knew better how to treat, recover, and even wipe out this effect.
Cetina also contributed a lot to this, and it was also influenced by Cetina's singing that Severus came up with this way of counteracting the influence of the dark arts.
At the same time, it also provided the most basic support for Severus to create meditation methods.
How to purify the will of the outside world, how to incorporate the magic of the outside world into several bodies, how to make the growth of his will and soul keep up with the growth of magic, these problems are solved, and Severus's strength will definitely increase by leaps and bounds.
"I really didn't expect that the supposedly brave and reckless Gryffindor would end up implementing such a method of shrinking defense, is it that we are here to wait for death?"
Finally, Severus replied.
"So, Severus, sometimes the Sorting House is a bit sloppy." Dumbledore also said sarcastically, "But admittedly, this is the best way to do it at the moment, and unless you are sure that you can defeat Nidhogg, I will not risk it." β
"Of course, when the mountains are really exhausted, I don't mind giving it a try."
Dumbledore looked sideways at Severus and said, "It's not that bad right now, I don't want to risk it." β
Severus was silent.
There are some things that can't be told to Dumbledore, after all, a lot of things really can't be explained.
If Dumbledore's trust was really regarded as 100% blind obedience in the game, then Severus would die an ugly death.
Take, for example, speculation about Voldemort.
If before, Severus thought that Voldemort was gradually brainless, but now Severus feels that the other party may have been seduced by Nidhogg, and the degree is quite deep.
So splitting the soul and making it into a Horcrux can also be said to want to get rid of the influence of the Grim Reaper.
Slytherin is proud, and any Slytherin, especially someone like Voldemort, should be the most intolerable to the mercy of others, even if they are called "gods".
Hence Voldemort's self-proclaimed "Flying Away from Death",
Therefore, with the weirdness of the first Horcrux diary, there is the magic of the Horcrux but not the main body.
However, Voldemort after the resurrection apparently failed.
Maybe he was at the mercy of Nidhogg.
Don't expect a beast to have much wisdom.
This would explain why Voldemort became more and more retarded!
As for the truth, what is the truth?
Severus is looking forward to it more and more!!
