days at Hogwarts

Chapter 163

After the scene in herbal medicine class, the little wizards of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff had no expectations of Lockhart.

But when the Cornish elves ran around the classroom and even hung Neville on the chandelier, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor actually abandoned the students and ran away alone. The little wizards still couldn't believe it.

"If I accidentally see his portrait now, I will be so disgusted that I can't eat." Neville picked off the whole chicken shank with his teeth, swallowing it so that his voice was a little distorted.

Neville, who has always been timid, can say such harsh words, which has proved that he is very disappointed in Lockhart.

"He pulls me around all day about fame, news, and doesn't look like a professor at all," Harry complained angrily.

Lockhart himself said that's all, but he still dragged him to talk non-stop, as if they were the same kind of people, exchanging experiences.

"And that Colin Creevey," Ron complained, "has been looking forward to saying 'Hello, Harry~' to Harry all day, if Harry can just say 'Hello to him , Colin."

"Oh! It's like he got a response from his lover."

Colin Creevey is a freshman in Gryffindor. Because he is too obsessed with Harry, he behaves like a pervert, always following and secretly taking pictures.

What his lover said gave Harry a chill, and he made up his mind to avoid Colin Creevey from now on.

But some things cannot be avoided, such as eating in the auditorium and going back to the lounge.Colin could always stop him and humbly ask for an autographed photo.

And Lockhart seems to be proficient in some kind of summoning magic. Every time Colin takes pictures, he can always pop up and turn the single photo of the Boy Who Lived into the Boy Who Lived and the magical Lockhart. Group photo of Professor Te.

Harry's grinning and helpless expression every time became a daily good show that Loren and others were looking forward to.

Friday night, the Potions professor's office.

The Philosopher's Stone was supposed to pass away with Nico, but now it passed into his hands.Loren didn't want the Philosopher's Stone to get dusty on his hands, so he could only use it as a source of magic power to do things like remove traces.

Out of respect for Nicole and trust in Snape, before leaving school last semester, Loren agreed to Snape's invitation to study the Philosopher's Stone.

But after Loren thought about it carefully, those words about the legendary potions, about leaving their names in textbooks, the nature of magic, and the mysteries of potions, these words were too general, and Snape himself would not believe them.

However, Loren still lent the Philosopher's Stone, he wanted to see what the potions master wanted to do.

On the test bench, irrelevant utensils were put aside, and there was only a cup of viscous transparent liquid and a red magic stone on the bench.

Snape bent over, put his head on the table, and gently scratched the Philosopher's Stone with the silver knife.The light shone on Snape's pale face. He was earnest, cautious, and focused, like a praying believer. The whole behavior somehow revealed a hint of piety.

A few tiny red powders peeled off from the main body and stained the blade.

The dust-like powder was so small that Loren, who puffed up his eyes, hesitated for a while before saying, "Although the Philosopher's Stone can't regenerate, there's no need to save it so much, right?"

Snape turned his head and looked at him with unwavering eyes, like an abyss.Snape who didn't speak turned his head and continued the experimental operation.

He carefully poured the powder into the transparent viscous liquid next to it, some of the remaining powder stuck to the silver knife, Snape simply sank the whole knife into the slime.

"The slime duckweed extract from the Pantanal swamp is the best and most stable magic inducer found so far."

While experimenting, Snape faithfully fulfilled his duty as a teacher, telling the knowledge in an unwavering tone: "It has good magical properties, but even if the huge magic power of a hundred adult wizards is poured into it, it will only Tiny bubbles came out."

Loren's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Can it be used in alchemy?"

Stable and highly conductive, this property sounds very suitable for a powerful alchemy circle.

Snape glanced at him again, but without answering, he carefully observed the situation in the cup.

The magic stone powder containing majestic magic power was dissolved in the mucus, and fiery red colors appeared one by one, bubbling bubbles rose up, and the viscous solution was like boiling water, emitting a lot of light and heat.

The silver knife kept rolling in the slime, colliding with the inner wall of the cup, making a crisp sound.

I don't know how long it took, Loren and Snape faced the solution, their faces were flushed and hot, as if they were facing a burning bonfire, they watched it all night.

Snape first cooled the cup with a Freezing Charm, then reached out and carefully fished out the silver knife.

The temperature had completely cooled down, and the metal handle of the knife felt a little icy cold. Snape felt the difference as soon as he took the knife.He held the knife with his slender fingers and waved it lightly.

A ray of magic power shot out from the tip of the knife, hit the wall of the storage room, and was absorbed by Hogwarts' defensive formation.

"This knife has the characteristics of a magic wand!" Loren said in surprise.

Snape's action just now was not casting a spell without a wand, but replaced the gesture of waving a wand with a gesture of waving a knife, which indicated that the knife had certain characteristics of a wand.

"Without the effect of the wand core and material, I can barely cast some simple spells, and the power is not as powerful as the wand." Snape quickly sorted out his thoughts, "The mucus in the cup was in a state of chaos just now, and the magic The characteristics of the stone are activated, replacing the properties of the leaching solution with the silver knife!"

Snape's tone gradually became excited: "This shows that as long as the conditions are right, we can play the role of the Philosopher's Stone!"

"Chaos, magic power, excellent conductor..." Snape walked back and forth in front of the test bench, muttering about the experimental conditions, and the Potions professor who had just been calm and silent fell into a daze.

From the moment he learned of the Sorcerer's Stone, Snape's dead heart was different.

The Philosopher's Stone that grants wishes, makes the impossible possible, and the legendary potion of immortality.Since the Sorcerer's Stone is so powerful, can it also be brought back to life!

These four words took root in Snape's heart like magic, and grew countless tentacles, frantically tickling his desire.

During the vacation, he searched all the information about the Sorcerer's Stone, but only fed his desire and thoughts stronger.

He tried his best to control his behavior, tried to play the role of Professor Severus Snape, and didn't start the experiment until Friday night of the first week, which was already an amazing display of his perseverance.

But the Philosopher's Stone was right in front of him, and its magical properties broke the laws of magic. He couldn't control his thoughts anymore, and kept thinking about the possibility of the resurrection medicine.

"What does immortality have to do with replacement? What exactly is replaced..." Snape kept muttering.

Although Loren didn't know what happened, the scene in front of him was obviously abnormal.

"Professor! Professor!" Loren couldn't help interrupting him. "As a refiner, Nicol can make full use of the Philosopher's Stone. He has only refined the elixir of life in his life."

"It's not even old. His body is aging so badly that a gust of wind could break his bones."

Loren didn't want the Potions professor to indulge in illusory delusions. If he indulged in it, his whole life might be in vain.

But these words were like a fire, completely lighting up the light in Snape's eyes. He squatted down halfway in excitement and kept shaking Loren's shoulders: "You said that Nicole Flamel is not old, he just Don't die! He just doesn't die!"

"The characteristic of the Philosopher's Stone is replacement. Niko's elixir only replaces death! The elixir is the elixir if the death that has not yet occurred is replaced. If the death that has already occurred is replaced—"

"This is the medicine for bringing life back to life!"

Loren suddenly understood Snape's thoughts. He wanted to use the Philosopher's Stone to refine the medicine of resurrection, redeem the mistakes he made back then, and resurrect the dead Lily.

"Replace! Immortal! Hahahahahahaha!" Snape looked crazy, laughing wildly with eyes wide open, not showing the shadow of the usual Potions professor at all.

This is already a bit scary, Loren raised the Philosopher's Stone in his hand and threatened: "Professor Snape! In view of your state, I think we should stop related experiments!"

"Moreover, death is the basic law of life. Trying to reverse death will definitely bring about a huge disaster!"

"You don't understand! You don't understand at all!" A tear fell from Snape's left eye, peeling off the shell of madness, peeling off the disguised arrogance and indifference, revealing that he was tortured by guilt, remorse, and self-blame 11 years of body.

"As long as I can open those eyes again, I'm willing to exchange...." He didn't explain anything, but took a deep breath, knelt down and looked at Loren, and said in a trembling voice: "I will not destroy the laws of the world. The transfer of characteristics requires a goal. I will become a container for death."

"Let me continue this experiment, please."

This is, the dean of Slytherin... It seemed that Professor Snape, who was always proud, made such a gesture, and Loren felt as if his heart was blocked by something.

Loren shook the Philosopher's Stone in his hand, and finally agreed:
"You need to abide by three rules. First, you must obtain Dumbledore's permission for this matter."

"Second, I must be present when the Philosopher's Stone is used."

"Third, during the experiment, you must live a normal life."

……

The corridor in the basement was silent, and the shadow hidden behind the corner was shaking, as if it was about to eat people.

Loren didn't know how he got out of Snape's office. He still recalled Snape's quiet words in his mind: "The transfer of characteristics requires a target, and I will become a vessel for death."

　There is only one update today, and I kowtow to the readers, and I dare not make any promises, so I will make it up later if I can.
