Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Chapter 26 Snape's Resurrection

Ancient runes may be the prototype of modern magic spells, and because of their primitive form, Lu Ke can see many of the underlying principles of magic.

For example, there are simple words and spirits, as well as complex metaphors.

Now Lu Ke can almost complete the research on the distance from the Felixir alone: of course Snape has already completed this research alone.

And there was another thing that Lu Ke didn't even dare to think about.

Fire dragons also have complex writing like runes, which means they may also possess intelligence.

This is something that will never be acknowledged by wizards, and Lu Ke is not sure.

But if he really wanted to become the master of darkness according to Slytherin's requirements, perhaps dealing with the fire dragon would be unavoidable.

"Are you ready to deal with the dementors?"

Johanna turned casually and glanced at the Gryffindor table behind her.

Lu Ke was silent for a moment: "Not yet."

Johanna shook her head: "This is not good. I'm not sure how long they can endure it. Don't you think things are getting out of control now?"

Lu Ke nodded.

Sirius's actions gave the Dementors an excuse, and the Dementors couldn't find Sirius. As a result, they said they had to enter Hogwarts, and they pressed harder. Although Dumbledore was always unwilling to give in, the Dementors couldn't find Sirius. The actions of the spirit monster cannot be stopped.

What's even more frightening is that the Ministry of Magic's deterrence against dementors is weakening.

In the final analysis, dark magical creatures like dementors are almost like wild beasts, with almost no sense at all. Working for the Ministry of Magic is like a flock of sheep driven by fear, and they cannot maintain their sanity at all.

Johanna sighed: "But I'm not worried about this. Dumbledore always has a way, right?"

Lu Ke shook his head helplessly.

Dumbledore always had a way, that was true, but the Dementors' actions didn't look like they were planned.

…

After breakfast, Lu Ke went to find Snape alone.

According to time calculation, he should have completed the research on the principle of Felixir.

But Lu Ke was a little surprised when he walked into the office.

Snape didn't look relieved at all that his long-cherished wish had been fulfilled. Instead, he looked exhausted and in a bad mood.

"professor?"

Snape sat on the chair and glanced at Lu Ke casually.

"I failed...just a little bit..."

Lu Ke turned around and glanced at the parchment spread out on the table.

The above is a long paper, which is almost a copy of the principle of Polyjuice Potion, with complete and strict metaphorical markings for all steps and ingredients.

But at the end, a step is missing.

That's the final metaphor for Felixir.

Lu Ke couldn't help but laugh: "There is only one last step left. Even if the potion is no longer effective, it can be completed easily."

Snape shook his head.

Lu Ke glanced at him and knew that this was because the gap after the potion failed was unacceptable to him.

"Actually, some of the potion's effects will remain forever."

Snape just shook his head silently.

Lu Ke sighed helplessly.

Then he looked down at the end of the paper on the parchment and fell into silence.

What he saw reminded him of the last of the ancient rune studies he had just learned.

In the study of runes, one of the simplest principles is to believe that anything with magic has a complex and chaotic core, which is the essence of magic.

The so-called magic spell uses countless detailed constraints to stimulate specific parts of the chaotic and complex core.

According to this idea, the same principle applies to magic potions that are equivalent to magic spells.

"The metaphor of the Elixir of Fortune should be that everything in the world is full of accidents, and these accidents can always be influenced and controlled."

Snape was stunned for a moment.

He stood up suddenly and walked to the table.

Then Snape let out a long breath.

"Finally finished……"

Lu Ke was stunned for a moment: "I just said casually..."

Snape shook his head, then calmly finished writing the final paper with a quill pen, and glanced at Lu Ke.

"Everything in the world is full of surprises, especially in the wizarding world."

Lu Ke shook his head: "So... it's done?"

Snape nodded: "Finally done."

Lu Ke smiled: "That's great."

Snape, however, had a calm expression, and even had the same gloomy look on his face as usual.

"It's time for you to go to class."

Lu Ke nodded and left the office.

He originally wanted to see if there was anything he needed help with, but now that the research on the principles of the Fuling Elixir has been completed, there was no need to stay here.

…

In the darkness, dementors were flying in the sky.

They didn't like the light inside Hogwarts, but they couldn't help but approach the tower, wanting to feel the happy atmosphere.

At this time, in the wasteland outside the castle, under the dark night, the leader of the dementors was floating in front of the little snake.

"The Ministry of Magic agreed..."

The leader of the dementors sighed longly.

Rune Snake smiled: "Are you unhappy?"

The leader of the dementors nodded: "We will never feel true happiness unless we get a soul."

Voldemort smiled: "I rarely feel true happiness, except when I crush a soul..."

The two magical creatures in the dark fell into a long silence.

"The dementors will join your alliance and help you complete your plan."

The three heads of the rune snake said: "I'm so happy that you finally see everything clearly."

"You are welcome to join my great cause and you will never regret this decision."

…

A few days later, potions class for the third years finally arrived.

This time, Snape looked no different from before, but after the class ended, he did not leave the classroom before all the students with a gloomy face, but stayed.

So Harry walked over quickly.

He wanted to ask Snape about his suspicion.

"Professor Snape..."

Snape looked at Harry and nodded: "Harry..."

They haven't spoken in a long time.

"Professor, do you suspect that someone in Hogwarts helped Sirius?"

Snape was stunned for a moment.

He had always had a gloomy look on his face, but now, his expression was even gloomier.

"Why do you ask about this?"

Harry mustered up his courage: "It's Professor Lupin, right?"

Snape looked obviously surprised.

He looked at Harry, his expression changing for a moment and very complicated.
