The days of hanging out at Hogwarts

After the scene in the Herbology class, the little wizards of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff no longer had any expectations for Lockhart.

But when the Cornish elves were running around the classroom and even hung Neville from the chandelier, the little wizards still found it unbelievable that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor actually abandoned his students and ran away alone.

"If I accidentally see his portrait now, I will be so disgusted that I can't eat." Neville picked off a whole chicken leg with his teeth and swallowed it wholeheartedly, which made his words slightly distorted.

The fact that Neville, who had always been timid, could say such cruel words proved that he was completely disappointed in Lockhart.

"He keeps asking me about fame and news all day long. He doesn't look like a professor at all." Harry complained angrily.

Lockhart himself said that was enough, but he still kept talking to him, as if they were the same kind of people and were exchanging experiences.

"And Colin Creevey," Ron complained, "he has been looking forward to saying "Hello, Harry~" to Harry all day long. If Harry could say "Hello, Harry~" back to him, , Colin."

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

Colin Creevey is a new student in Gryffindor. Because he is too obsessed with Harry, he behaves like a pervert, always following and filming Harry.

His lover's words made Harry shiver, and he made up his mind to avoid Colin Creevey in the future.

But there are some things that cannot be avoided, such as having to eat in the auditorium and going back to the lounge. Colin always managed to corner him and then humbly ask for an autographed photo.

And Lockhart seemed to be proficient in some kind of summoning magic. Every time Colin took pictures, he would always appear and turn the single photo of the Boy-Who-Lived into the Boy-Who-Lived and the magical Loha. Professor Te’s photo.

Harry's expression of hatred and helplessness every time became a daily drama that Loren and others looked forward to.

Friday evening, the Potions Master's office.

This magic stone was supposed to die with Nico, but now it has passed into his hands. Loren didn't want the magic stone to be covered in dust 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 Nico and trust in Snape, before leaving school last semester, Loren agreed to Snape's invitation to study the Philosopher's Stone.

But Loren thought about it carefully later. Those words about legendary potions, about leaving names in textbooks, the nature of magic, and the secrets of potions were so general that even Snape himself would not believe them.

However, Loren still lent the magic stone out because he wanted to see what the potion master wanted to do.

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

Snape bent over, put his head on the countertop, and gently scratched the Sorcerer's Stone with a silver knife. The light shone on Snape's pale face. He was serious, cautious, and focused, like a believer in prayer. The whole behavior revealed a somewhat pious tone.

A few tiny grains of red powder peeled off from the main body and stained the blade surface.

The dust-like powder was so small that Loren, who bulged his eyes, hesitated for a while and then said: "Although the magic stone cannot be regenerated, there is no need to save it like this, right?"

Snape turned his head and looked at him with eyes as calm as an abyss. Snape, who was silent, turned his head and continued the experimental operation.

He carefully poured the powder into the transparent and viscous liquid next to it. Some of the remaining powder was stained on the silver knife, and Snape simply sank the entire knife into the slime.

"The slime mold duckweed extract from the Pantanal swamp is the most effective and stable magic inducing agent found so far."

While experimenting, Snape faithfully fulfilled his obligation as a teacher and spoke of knowledge in a smooth 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 pop up.”

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 and did not answer. He carefully observed the situation in the cup.

The magic stone powder containing majestic magic power dissolves in the mucus, and the fiery red color appears one by one. Bubbles rise, and the viscous solution is like boiling water, emitting a large amount of light and heat.

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

After an unknown amount of time, Loren and Snape faced the solution with their faces red and hot, as if they were facing a blazing bonfire and had been looking at it all night.

Snape first used a freezing spell to cool down the cup, then stretched out his hand and carefully took out the silver knife.

The temperature had completely cooled down, and the metallic handle felt a bit cold. Snape felt the difference as soon as he took the knife into his hands. He held the knife with his long fingers and waved it gently.

A ray of magical light burst 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 properties of a magic wand!" Loren said in surprise.

Snape's action just now was not to cast a spell without a wand, but to replace the gesture of waving the wand with the gesture of waving a knife, which shows that the knife has certain characteristics of a wand.

"Without the role of the wand core and material, I can only cast some simple spells, and the power is not as powerful as a wand." Snape quickly sorted out the clues, "The mucus in the cup just now was in a state of chaos, and the magic The properties of the stone were activated, and the properties of the leaching solution were replaced on the silver knife!"

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

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

From the moment he learned about the Philosopher's Stone, Snape's heart was completely different.

The Philosopher's Stone that makes wishes come true, makes the impossible possible, and is the legendary magic potion of immortality. Since the magic stone is so powerful, can it also bring the dead back to life?

These four words were like magic, taking root in Snape's heart and sprouting countless tentacles, tickling his desires crazily.

During the vacation, he looked up all the information about the Philosopher's Stone, but it only made his desires and thoughts stronger.

It was an amazing display of perseverance that he tried his best to control his behavior and play the role of Professor Severus Snape until the Friday night of the first week before starting the experiment.

But the Philosopher's Stone was right in front of him, and its miraculous properties broke the rules of magic. He could no longer control his thoughts and kept thinking about the possibility of bringing the dead back to life.

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

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

"Professor! Professor!" Loren couldn't help but interrupt him, "Nico, as a refiner, can make full use of the magic stone. He has only refined the elixir of immortality in his life."

"It's not even immortal. His body is aging so badly that a gust of wind might 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 was so excited that he squatted down and shook Loren's shoulders: "You said that Nico Flamel is not ageless, he is just Not dead! He’s just not dead!”

"The characteristic of the Magic Stone is replacement. Nico's elixir only replaces death! The death that has not yet occurred is replaced by the elixir. If the death that has already occurred is replaced -"

"This is the medicine that brings the dead back to life!"

Loren understood Snape's idea at once. He wanted to use the magic stone to refine a resurrection medicine, undo the mistakes he made back then, and resurrect the dead Lily.

"Replacement! Immortal! Hahahahahahahaha!" Snape looked like he was crazy, with his eyes wide open and laughing wildly, there was no shadow of his usual Potions Professor.

This was already a bit scary. Loren held up the magic stone in his hand and threatened: "Professor Snape! In view of your state, I think we should stop the relevant experiments!"

"And death is the basic law of life. Trying to reverse death will definitely lead to huge disaster!"

"You don't understand! You don't understand at all!" A tear dropped 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, regret, and self-blame. A body that has lived for eleven years.

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

"Let me continue this experiment, please."

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

Loren shook the magic stone in his heart and finally agreed:

"You need to abide by three rules. First, this matter must be approved by Dumbledore."

"Second, I must be present when using the magic stone."

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

…

The corridor in the basement was quiet, and the shadow hidden behind the corner was shaking, as if it was trying to eat someone.

Loren didn't know how he walked out of Snape's office. He was still thinking about Snape's words in a low voice: "Characteristic transfer requires a target, and I will become a vessel of death."

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