Chapter 130: Snape's Hint and the Soul Eater Curse
Money is not everything, but it is money that impresses most people.
Even in the wizarding world, this principle works.
John quickly got the ingredients, the delicate box, and the leaves of the mandrake were placed inside.
When the first full moon arrives, John can begin the Animagus.
"Speaking of which, the full moon Lupin is also going to transform."
Thinking of Lupin's identity, although there is a wolf poison potion now, Lupin is estimated that he will not maintain his werewolf form to come to class.
Sure enough, in Defence Against the Dark Arts class, Professor Snape replaced Lupin.
"Sorry I'm late, Professor Lupin, I'm ......"
John saw Harry who was late, and there was confusion in his eyes.
"This class started ten minutes ago, Potter, so I think Gryffindor should be deducted 10 points and sit down."
Snape raised his eyes from the podium, his tone not light or heavy, but the smell of yin and yang was strong.
Harry didn't move his feet, but stared at Snape, and he asked, "What about Professor Lupin?" ”
"He said he was not feeling well today and couldn't come to class." Snape grinned, no young wizard had ever dared to challenge his authority, stared at Harry with a sad look, and said, "I seem to have told you to sit down, right?" ”
Harry thought about this sentence a lot, he thought of Snape's long-awaited Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, and he thought of the black stuff that Snape gave Lupin to drink that day.
As if Snape had poisoned Lupin, Harry didn't move, staring at Snape and asking again, "What's wrong with him?" ”
Snape's patience was exhausted, and his eyes widened, "Not in danger of life." ”
Saying that, Snape's expression seemed as if he wished that something would happen, and he said lightly: "Gryffindor will deduct 5 more points, and if I have to tell you to sit down a third time, 50 points." ”
Harry finally walked slowly to his seat, John pouted, Professor Snape looked fierce, but Harry answered every word.
Snape looked around at the class with a cold attitude, "Before Potter interrupted me, I said that Professor Lupin didn't leave any record of what you had learned......"
"I'm sorry, sir, but we learned the Boggart, the Red Hat, the Kaba, and the Grindellow."
Seeing him say this, Hermione's mouth opened and closed quickly, and she said the previous lesson, and then reminded, "Just about to start learning......"
"Quiet, I didn't ask a question."
Hermione's behavior made Snape's attitude even colder, and he was very upset with Lupin: "I'm just criticizing Professor Lupin's teaching for being undisciplined. ”
"He taught us ......"
Dean Thomas saw that the two Gryffindors were so brave that he had to follow suit.
However, as soon as he spoke, Snape's death gaze came.
John was speechless, do you also have a mother named Lily, so brave.
Didn't you see that Professor Snape's face was dark?
Seeing that there was a lot of talk in the class, John coughed.
Neither light nor heavy, the voices in the classroom gradually quieted down.
John looked up at Professor Snape and smiled, "Please continue." ”
Snape looked deeply at John, and waved his wand.
"Today we're going to discuss...... Werewolf. ”
He dragged out his long tail, and Hermione over there was still about to speak, but Snape had already looked at John and said, "Mr. Wick, you might be able to say that." ”
John watched as the textbook in front of him was flipped to page 394, the chapter on the werewolf.
Snape crossed his hands and asked in a lazy voice, "How do you tell the difference between a werewolf and a real wolf?" ”
It is rare to take the initiative to name John.
And Lupin is not here yet, his identity is still a werewolf.
That's a bit of a point.
John couldn't let it fly when he got the extra points, and said: "There are differences between werewolves and real wolves in several small places, such as pupils, noses, tails, ......."
John answered the question with ease, and Snape gave John 10 points.
Then he asked several questions about werewolves in a row, and without exception John answered.
Hermione wasn't far away, her hands held up the whole time, but they were ignored.
This made Ron unhappy, and he deliberately said loudly: "You asked so many questions, she knows the answers!" If you only ask John, why don't you just add 50 points to him! ”
Snape turned his head dangerously, and he walked quickly up to Ron, his face pressed closer.
The students around him held their breath, and Ron was too brave.
Snape whispered softly, as if to put a child to sleep, "Shut up, Weasley!" ”
After speaking, he straightened up and looked around, and the person he saw couldn't help but shrink his neck.
No one dared to give any more opinions, and the lesson was like a special one for John, with two people playing double reeds.
After asking and answering, John noticed that Professor Snape seemed to have a soft spot for him today.
All kinds of werewolf questions were thrown in his face, and his eyes seemed to say, hurry up to find out Lupin's werewolf identity.
John resisted the urge to hold his forehead, and he didn't know it, besides, you said it so obviously, just tell me directly.
The question is over, followed by an excerpt from the knowledge about werewolves.
Snape placed another piece of parchment in front of John, who looked at the one he had just copied and fell into deep thought.
"John Wick, your handwriting is so ugly, write again." Snape said unhurriedly, slowly.
Good fellows, you say it again!
Lao Tzu's writing is a flower body, do you know what a flower body is!
The corners of John's mouth twitched, I know you're trying to hint at me, but you don't have to, do you?
There was some resentment, and John had to copy it again.
The bell rang for the end of the lesson, and the lesson was finally over, and Snape glanced at John, his wand seemingly casually resting on the word werewolf written on the book.
"Each of you writes a paper for me on how to identify and kill werewolves, and I ask you to fill two rolls of parchment on the subject."
Speaking of this, Snape paused, lowered his head and said to John, "John Wick, you need to submit four volumes. ”
What the hell am I ......
John really wants to say I know, don't hint at it, I know Lupin is a werewolf.
Who reminded you like this.
It's a pity that Snape didn't understand John's resentment, and said with dissatisfaction in his tone: "It's handed in on Monday morning, this class needs to be taken care of, Weasley, don't leave yet." ”
Ron was still angry that Snape deliberately ignored Gryffindor, but after seeing John's double homework, he began to rejoice that he was a little transparent.
Just as he was about to leave in the group, he was directly named by Snape.
His legs were a little weak, and he looked very intimidated when he saw a smile on Snape's sallow face.
"Harry, Hermione, help me."
He asked his two friends for help, but got a helpless look.
In the end, Ron was sent to clean the urinal at the school hospital, the kind that was not allowed to use magic.
Enraged, he told Sirius to hide in his office and kill Snape.
...
At night, John looked up at the sky.
Tomorrow is the full moon, and he heads to the secret room.
Last time the Dementors searched, they didn't find the secret room.
The new Dementors are pressed into the corner, John holds his wand in one hand, and the Patronus Charm turns into an albatross to knock the Dementors into the wall.
There were two bottles in front of him, one for a silver-white soul and the other for black.
After a moment's hesitation, John picked up the black one.
"Let's see if this can be used to separate souls."
If the Dementor has flesh, then the black mass is considered flesh.
Essentially a curse mixed with dust, John's right hand pressed on top of the black.
The black is adsorbed up, gradually forming a black ball on the hand.
Traces of darkness were pulled out of it, and John blew on the Dementors.
The black threads covered the Dementors little by little like spider silk.
The dementors' tattered capes were stripped of their cocoons and consumed by black orbs.
Seeing this, John's eyes narrowed.
"The same kind devours."
Staring at the ball in his hand, he pulled out a ring.
"Come here."
In the palm of his hand was a ring with an emerald green gemstone, and the darkness that had been pulled out was led to the ring.
The black gradually infects the emerald green, and the original pure ring has black traces like a spider's web on the surface.
"Let's call it the Soul Eater."
The ring was placed on the ring finger of his right hand, and John shook his hand, aiming it at the much weaker Dementor, and he opened his hand, and the layers of black were peeled off and flew into the ring.
The Dementor let out a shrill cry, and was eventually stripped of its physical curse, leaving a mass of unconscious souls.
