Chapter 40: Brie's new roommate
Leaving Slytherin? Nabrie's efforts for so long have been in vain!
The Slytherin rules were more convenient for Brie, and the little snakes could understand that he wasn't easy to mess with, and that he was easier to handle.
The independent life is very comfortable, he doesn't want to crowd around a bunch of badgers and pretend to be well-behaved, and no one will meddle with the little snake just to show his strength, which is very convenient.
Brie walked behind Snape with his suitcase, while Professor McGonagall, Professor Sprout, and Dumbledore had been persuaded by Brie to go back to rest, and the next was the internal Slytherin problem.
"You're not Muggle, you're not half-blood, there's a good chance you're a pure-blood wizard." Snape dragged his big robe in front and said coldly.
"Me?"
Snape stopped at the door of the Slytherin common room, turned to look at Brie's face and said, "Magic is the answer, and there have been a pair of powerful wizarding parents who have produced strange magical anomalies like you in history. ”
"Alienation is not a bloodline talent, the professors can see it."
"Savvy!"
"Boom!" With the password, the door opened.
In the common room, the Slytherin prefects were there, and the few young wizards who had caused trouble before did not dare to leave.
Brie glanced at the men, chuckling kindly.
"Oh, it's finally back."
Malfoy grumbled under the side, he didn't know how many yawns.
"Who was Brie Ouder's roommate before?"
All eyes were on Breth Shabini, the tall, dark, thin boy.
"It's me, Dean."
Sabini didn't flinch, facing Snape.
"Very well, you go and clean up Filch for a month, do it yourself, and by the way I will write to Madame Sabini."
"And you...... A bunch of troublemakers. ”
Snape looked at Brie, then around before finally turning his gaze to Malfoy and said, "Let Mr. Theodore Nott move in with Mr. Shabini, while Brie Ode sleeps with you." ”
Malfoy's eyes widened, he was going to be with Brie Ode?
It didn't seem to hurt either, and Theodore's snoring Malfoy had enough of it.
"Of course, who has Malfoy to be tolerant and considerate of Mr. Oder."
……
Soon, Theodore moved out of the original dormitory, and Brie asked the elves to get a new set of mattresses and get ready to sleep, but today's events were so sudden that he couldn't care about the other little snakes who were still being trained, and they had already parted ways after that time.
"How are you feeling?"
Malfoy lay down on the bed and said to Brie.
"It's just a different place to sleep, I prefer the view of the corner tower, it's too gloomy here, and the wind can't blow in."
Brie answered truthfully, but he can't be special, he doesn't have the capital to do it now, of course there will always be a way, maybe use the unicorn's skin to make an alchemy note that can withstand the power of time and space, so that it can be teleported over a short distance, of course, this needs to be tested after finding the trance grass.
And before that, Brie needs to dispose of Quirrell's notes first, and going directly to Snape is a way, the two tigers must be injured, and Snape doesn't seem to want to see Quirrell.
……
The next day, Brie was once again in bed and didn't wake up until 10 o'clock, knowing that breakfast was over, and Brie was soon in the kitchen, and he needed to go to Snape.
"Enter."
Snape's office was also on the basement floor, and Brie walked to Snape's desk with Quirrell's notes.
"What's the matter with Mr. Ode?"
Snape looked at the note in Brie's hand and frowned.
"This is the notebook Professor Quirrell gave me when he sentenced me to confinement as an assistant, I think there's something wrong with it, maybe I can ask the professor for help."
"Oh, thanks to our Mr. Oude for learning to find a professor." Snape said harshly but honestly took the note from Brie, and after looking through it for a moment, asked solemnly, "I think the clever Ode didn't learn the dark arts." ”
"Of course, any dark magic requires a malice to match, and I keep that in mind, I swear by the magic that Merlin gave me, and I have never learned a single magic in this notebook."
……
Snape was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Very well, you can leave, I'll go talk to Quirrell about his problems." ”
"Thank you, Professor Snape."
"Call me Dean, Mr. Ode, and you yourself admit to being Slytherin."
"Yes, Dean."
Ode chuckled and looked kind, and he quickly left Snape's office, and the rest was not something Brie needed to be involved in.
"According to some accounts, Snape was once a Death Eater, but Dumbledore kept him in court and granted him the position of Head of Slytherin and Potions Professor, so he can be trusted in some things, after all, Dumbledore can also be trusted."
Thinking so, Brie connected a lot of recent events.
The werewolves in the Forbidden Forest sent a message that there were werewolves from the outside world stirring up their interior, and soon after, the unicorn was hunted by monsters, Professor Quirrell's anomaly, the Philosopher's Stone... The master, and the forbidden place deep in the corridor on the fourth floor, the barking of dogs.
Quirrell's master?
Who could it be, could it be that he is a dark wizard, ready to contact the werewolves from the outside world to make a move on Hogwarts, and also hunt down unicorns, and the philosopher's stone in the corridor?
And it seems that Snape knows something, and Dumbledore probably knows it, but why did they let Quirrell stay at Hogwarts?
Luring the snake out of the hole? Catching a turtle in an urn?
Aren't you afraid of hurting the little wizard, this is a school, not the Ministry of Magic!
Brie couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to get involved, so it was best to stay away from Quirrell after that, and it was the right thing to learn magic in peace.
"Damn, that monster is in the Forbidden Forest, how am I going to find the trance grass." Brie sighed.
"Spells now I have learned everything I can learn, the combination of natural magic and spells has no clue for the time being, I don't want to mention the trance grass, the pile of alchemy books in the corner tower is useless without materials, and now I can only go to the forbidden book area to find books about the soul... And the borrowing voucher that Professor McGonagall gave me. ”
Speaking of books, Brie thought of meditation and the parchment given to him by Professor Flitwick, the magic of blessings and curses in the parchment book was magical, similar to the forces of nature, but for Brie it was a low-level version of the magic of nature.
"Maybe I haven't figured it out yet, maybe I can take it with me and ask Professor Flitwick when I have time."
After having an updated plan for the rest of her studies, Brie began to prepare for the Charms class at one o'clock in the afternoon, and today there was also a flying lesson and an astronomy lesson in the evening, which was very full.
……
In November, Hogwarts was covered in snow and ice, and it was unusually cold, the surface of the Black Lagoon had formed a thick layer of ice, and Brie rarely went out to the castle.
The castle is kept warm because of the Flame Grass Potion, and Brie has made some of them himself to keep the corner tower warm, although the four-leaf clover vine can also resist the wind and cold, but the warm room obviously makes Brie like it more.
Although Brie had to return to Slytherin every night to rest, the rest of his free time would go to the Corner Tower to read.
In the afternoon, inside the corner tower:
"'Portrait of the Soul' is the only book I have hope for."
For more than a month, Brie often went to the forbidden book area, but because Mrs. Pince checked the books every day, especially those dangerous books, Brie could not take them with her, so she could only take a notebook and record them in the forbidden book area, and the rest of the time was spent studying other courses other than the spell, and he couldn't hold on to the spell.
Looking at the method of detaining souls recorded in the notes, Brie pouted incomprehensibly, such a technique was too rough, how much soul power could be left?
"No wonder, soul portraits don't need too many souls at all, if a lot of soul power is left, the dead may not be able to go to hell or heaven, and they will become unfortunate......"
Although he has no trust in these things in hell or heaven, Brie knows through the souls of the dead unicorns that they will go to the original place, and maybe it will be a good place to go, the beginning of another journey.
"But what if you use the magic of nature to cast this magic of soul detention?"
Brie can't experiment, and he doesn't want to, it's unfair to the soul, unless it's an enemy, Brie can't step the bottom line in his heart.
"Only by keeping the bottom line and sticking to your heart can you overcome the influence of dark magic, this is what the master of the corner tower said in his notes, and I think this still applies to soul magic."
"It's a pity that it's still too rough, it's not completely effective, the owner of the corner tower just crossed the bottom line and sold his soul."
Putting down the note, Ver on the side crawled to Brie's side and said worriedly: "Brie, soul magic is too dangerous, let's find another way, maybe we can call for help from the professors." ”
Professor?
No, this is Brie's secret, and he will never tell it to anyone he doesn't trust, even Verre will tell it because of the existence of the contract.
"Verre, only I can handle this matter myself."
"It's like I will only make decisions for myself, and the rest of the people's affairs are their own choices, and in turn, others will not want to decide my fate, everyone has their own path, and no one will help them unconditionally."
"Maybe I'll make the wrong choice, but I have no reason to regret it, and that's enough."
"Don't talk about Quirrell's notes, because it's not an untreachable secret, and it doesn't matter to me if you say it."
"Quirrell wouldn't kill me for a notebook, haha."
Brie got up, tomorrow is the final of the Quidditch tournament, Gryffindor vs. Slytherin, the previous month has ended the rest of the house team competition, and now it is the first tournament winner, and the champion has 150 house points.
It's a pity that Brie has no interest in this game at all, and I hope I don't meet Hermione today, otherwise the girl will definitely ask Brie to watch.
When Gryffindor and Hufflepuff fought before, a positive chaser was desperately trying to block a Bludger and was injured, which happened to affect the timing of the opposite side, otherwise it would be difficult for Gryffindor to win with a good Seeker like Cedric.
So Hermione was able to play.
Brie didn't want to get in trouble by rejecting Hermione.
……
All the young wizards today are still immersed in tomorrow's championship speculation, and the Hufflepuff who has just experienced defeat is the same, maybe they are disappointed, but they are still very kind, and they never complain about things that are within the fair range, and if they lose, they lose.
"Cedric?"
Cedric lowered his head to think of something when he heard Brie's voice.
"What's wrong, Brie?"
"What's wrong with you, is it because of Quidditch?" Brie sat down at the Slytherin table, turned to Cedric, and said, "I don't think you should be like that. ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, I was just wondering if I would be disappointed if I lost when I first joined the academy, although I knew they weren't going to put the blame on me."
Of course, the gentle little badgers will only blame themselves and not complain about their companions.
"I think you're good, just keep trying, but I'm not looking for you to comfort you."
"Professor Sprout has been taking care of plants that can't withstand the cold lately, and I wanted to help, but Professor McGonagall wrote a lot of things in my Transfiguration notes some time ago, and I don't have time for the time being, maybe you would like to help...... Well, by the way, ask the professor when my little box will be returned to me. ”
Since the last time the professors discovered the corner tower, Sprout saw that there were so many magical plants from the Forbidden Forest in the flowerbed, she took the flowerbed, saying that some magical plants could not be raised like this.
Brie knew that this was Professor Sprout's punishment for being angry that he had entered the Forbidden Forest, but the unicorn buried in the flower garden was a big problem, and it seems that Professor Sprout had not found out about it now.
