Chapter 43: Behind the Scenes of the Truth Elixir

People say that there are no more than three things, and now there have been as many as four Hogwarts attacks, three people, a cat, and a ghost have been petrified, the situation is so serious, and the plot is so bad that even if Dumbledore's energy is great, the headlines of the Daily Prophet still push the report about the secret room in a proper way.

Snape threw the newspaper with Draco's father, Lucius Malfoy, accusing Dumbledore of inaction, in front of Dumbledore, "Look, if you don't do something, you'll be pulled out of the headmistress." ”

"Actually, Severus, I've stepped down." Dumbledore seemed to be talking to someone else, grabbed a cockroach heap and ate it, "According to what I've heard, Lucius has gathered the directors of the school and signed a document to remove me from the headmaster's position, and according to our little Draco, you are the next headmaster." Congratulations, Headmaster Snape. Dumbledore's smile was still so contagious, and there was no sense of sadness about being deposed.

"I don't think the joke is funny, Headmaster, didn't you say you're in control?"

"Oh, yes. Of course I have to go, otherwise, how can the people behind the scenes have the courage to jump out? Dumbledore was confident in his plan, "But our Harry isn't ready yet, and I'm going to ask Professor Abbott to help him again." I may not have time, though, and I'll leave it to you when I'm gone. ”

Dumbledore got up from his chair and walked to the door as he was about to go, "By the way, what do you know about the Ravenclaw heir?" From the beginning he knew everything, telling Harry to leave it alone. If Harry really listened to him, it would have a big impact on my plans. ”

Snape's expression became very strange when Dumbledore mentioned Edge, "I've been doing this all year, asking Draco to create as many opportunities as possible for me to spend time with him. Seriously, I feel like I'm at the level of dementoring, but his weird Occlumency always works when it matters most. ”

"That is, you didn't get any useful information either? It wouldn't be just looking at his familiar face. Dumbledore was joking with Snape.

"No kidding, I want to know more than you do! I want to know that he really ......," Snape said, choking up, "and then he must have sensed something, yes, I was in such a hurry." Later, he tried to avoid being with me, and even when someone was present, he was wary. ”

Snape sighed rarely, "I have no choice but to save the country." I tried to trick his little girlfriend into drinking the elixir. ”

Dumbledore seemed to hear something, "You mean the truth potion?" It looks like you're really being pushed to the point where you can't do anything! ”

"That's right, Truth Elixir. You know Aitch was wary of me and didn't eat the candy I gave him on Halloween. So I had to let Granger do it. Snape's words were tinged with chagrin, "As long as Aitch drank it, I would be able to trick the girl from asking me what I wanted." ”

"I deliberately let that girl who pretends to be smart steal the material from me in order to make everything natural and has nothing to do with me."

Dumbledore seemed to have solved some riddle, "I mean, in a Potions class, I heard that someone threw a cannon in a pot, and Madame Pomri complained to me, and there were a lot of injuries that time. I thought it was Harry's sake, but before I could mention it to you, you let it pass with a thunderous bang. ”

"That's right, that time. Harry Potter was just as obnoxious as his bastard father. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let him go easily. Snape was as disgusting as the mention of bed bugs.

"But I overestimated that jack-of-all-trades lady, who was generally gifted in potions, and even forgot the basic principles of potions. A sloppy environment, two helpers, and poor pharmaceutical conditions...... I don't know where her faith came from. Snape found fault with Hermione's many shortcomings, "If it weren't for the help of me, the Potions Master, how could I have been able to make two completely different potions at the same time, and both of them are difficult potions!" ”

"I'm just the one that isn't a flaw." Snape said, amused, the smile on his face stiff and ugly, "But that kid wasn't fooled, shaking the vial of Truth Elixir and demonstrating against me hiding outside the door. ”

Dumbledore could imagine Snape's predicament, "I know, but I can't ignore the fact that one is his identity and abilities, which will have a great impact on our future war with 'that man'; And if he wasn't, we'd have to watch out for those who are too close to Harry! ”

"But if you can't help it, stop for now. Anyway, after I step down, I'll have a lot of time to eat sweets, and when the time comes, I'll go to the Muggles for clues. And during my absence, the school will be handed over to you. Dumbledore's last words solemnly entrusted Hogwarts to Snape.

On the hospital bed in the school infirmary, there were three people lying side by side, a cat and a ghost. The school is on the highest level of alert due to frequent attacks. Including the suspension of Harry's favorite Quidditch match, the Gryffindor team members almost flew into the sky on broomsticks, but were stopped by Professor McGonagall. All students must return to their dormitories by 6 p.m. and are not allowed to leave their dormitories after 6 p.m. Each day, a teacher will accompany the students to class. Bathrooms and toilets were not allowed without a teacher, and all evening activities were cancelled. These rules made the Hogwarts students fear and hate the murderer.

"Don't worry, Professor Flitwick, I'll be here for a while, it'll be fine." Aitch sat next to Hermione, and he smiled calmly at Professor Flitwick. Even when he heard Dumbledore leave, he was so calm, as if he already knew everything, "If you want to go back, I will let Hill accompany me, you have to believe in the strength of the house-elves." "Don't look at the house-elves as they look humble in front of people, each of them has no less strength than an adult wizard in their own right.

Professor Flitwick didn't say anything more and left. He knows this student very well. After two years of getting along, he has learned that Aitch has his own ideas, and he will consider them carefully before making a decision, and once he makes a decision, he will not easily change it.

Elvin lay down beside Hermione and played a game with her, where no one was allowed to move. Aitch combed her forehead with her hand, probably because she was in a hurry, and her hair was still scattered. "You just don't listen to me. Luckily, I've prepared for the basilisk to wear glasses that weaken the curse, or you'll be a Hogwarts ghost like Myrtle, and see what you do. ”

"But don't worry, Professor Sprout has already repotted the mandrake, and I believe it won't be long before it will be ready for use. Then, Professor Snape will be able to make a magic potion that de-petrification, and you'll be alive again. ”

"Remember, you're not done with the real elixir you want to pour in me, although you were just used as a gun, I don't blame you, but I will have to pay it back in the future." Madame Pomri was gracious to Aitch and let him stay until the latest, but it was still not possible to stay overnight, "I'm leaving, believe me, this matter will be over soon." ”
