Hogwarts: Harry Potter and the Glock 18

Snape is in a very happy mood recently, which can be seen from the hourglass in the auditorium. Less than a week after the start of school, there are actually more than ten rubies in the Gryffindor hourglass! This is a very extraordinary thing. Thanks to Tosnapp, if he wants to break through this number in previous years, at least he has to wait until the end of the first week.

However, some careless little lions didn't notice this, and naturally they wouldn't notice Snape's recent changes. If someone uses super Legilimency to read Snape's heart at this moment, you will probably hear him humming a little tune.

Although as a professor of Potions, Snape has always wanted to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. Although his attainments in Charms are not as good as in Potions, he still has a deep research on it. When he was a student, he developed super powerful spells like Shenfeng Wuying, and he is also qualified to be a genius in Charms.

Lockhart was expelled, and Dumbledore gave him two extra days to teach a class for students from grades one to seven, but even Lockhart was so capable, he couldn't get a course grade with a negative rating rate of 98%, and even his loyal fans couldn't give his Lockhart giegie an O (excellent) with a clear conscience.

This guy didn't make any preparations for the teaching of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Instead, he did a test paper about his own hobbies very seriously. There were 54 questions in total. Each question was to test the loyalty of his fans and had nothing to do with Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Lost in face, Lockhart had to leave Hogwarts with hundreds of brand-new autobiography textbooks. As for the cost of the books, he had to pay for them out of his own pocket. The vangallon compensation drained the last Knut in Lockhart's arms.

"Shouldn't it be the eradication of evil, Professor Dumbledore?"

In the principal's office, Harry asked Dumbledore curiously while teasing Fox, "He stole those stories, right? Exposing him, and then ruining him, and imprisoning him in Azkaban shouldn't be the best result?"

"Leave a little tail there, maybe one day he will come back and make trouble."

"Yeah, I know."

Dumbledore looked at Fawkes, who was eating deliciously, with a bit of pain. A ray of faint blue flame was sucked in by it. The ancient flame is not an ordinary flame. It is an eternal flame that can burn forever and will not be extinguished. It involves advanced alchemy. It is not easy for Dumbledore to make it, but at this moment Harry got it as a snack for Fawkes.

Dumbledore really didn't want to watch the tragic scene of teasing my bird with my stuff, but he couldn't help it.

Dumbledore waved his hands inexplicably agitated, "Sometimes you don't need to be so anxious. If you finish everything at Hogwarts, it's hard to say what people who are driven to a dead end will do."

"I will send him in when the time is right. After all, the stories he stole include the adventures of friends I know."

"That's great."

Sure enough, Dumbledore was not as bright and kind as he appeared on the surface, but it had to be said that the old man was more considerate than the younger one.

"Why do you have so much hostility towards Lockhart?" Dumbledore asked suddenly.

"Isn't it just to prevent the precious youthful time of all the students from being wasted by this misleading trash, didn't I say so?" Harry looked at Dumbledore a little strangely, what kind of temptation is this?

"Only this?" Dumbledore asked with a smile.

"Okay, okay." Harry said a little helplessly, "I just don't like him. I've never heard of a little bastard, but he still wants to get me famous. If I don't step him into the mud, can I still be regarded as Professor Grindelwald's proud student?"

"I will succeed Professor Grindelwald in the future and become the chief candidate for an excellent dark wizard, Professor Dumbledore."

"You bastard."

Dumbledore smiled helplessly. Gail was indeed right. The little bastard in front of him was too similar to him. But what worried Dumbledore was that Gail had him, but who did Harry have?

This kind of wantonness that no one can control, if there is no restraint, it is really possible to cause big troubles.

'But by then I may be dead. '

Dumbledore thought silently in his heart, 'Let him go, the child will always grow up. '

"Now Lockhart has also been driven away, and the werewolf has also been arrested. I will make up for the lessons I missed these days."

Dumbledore waved his hand, "Severus asked me to tell you to go find him when he comes back."

"What's the matter with me, Godfather Snape?"

"I don't know that."

The old and the young rolled their eyes at the same time, and at first glance there was quite a tacit understanding.

————

Basement level of Hogwarts, Potions Office.

Severus Snape is most likely a cat faction, so when facing dogs, wolves, and other canines, his patience is always extremely limited. This is definitely not because he saw Sirius upset and angered Lupine incidentally.

After all, James will only go up and pull the sidelines, Peter will have no time to run, and Lily will pack them all together and clean them up. The only one who can do this is Lupine.

When Harry told him at the beginning that he wanted to improve Wolfsbane Potion, Snape refused. Although Harry was his godson and a good boy whom he treated as his own son, he couldn't do it by himself as soon as he opened his mouth.

But after thinking about it, there were not many people who had anything to do with him at the beginning. For the sake of face, Snape reluctantly agreed to improve the Wolfsbane potion. It was not difficult for him, and in fact it was.

After paying all the taste price, the wolfbane potion whose potential was almost fully exploited was no longer the semi-finished product that barely worked. As long as it was drunk before the full moon, the werewolf would be able to maintain a clear mind when the full moon came, and the side effects that would have caused physical weakness were also completely cut off. The original version of the wolfbane potion relied on weakening the body to suppress the beastliness and threats brought about by wolf transformation. Snape felt that this idea was too bad.

The root cause of the werewolf transformation is the very special contagious werewolf curse. If so, why not directly suppress the effect of the curse? Snape, who has a lot of research on black magic, also has a lot of experience in dealing with curses.

The werewolf in the Forbidden Forest was tied out of the forest by Snape. After two months of careful research, Snape figured out the root of this curse.

This curse draws the magic power from the wizard and stores it. When the full moon arrives, the switch is activated and the werewolf curse enters a highly active state. The mandatory human transformation begins, forcing the wizard to transform into a half-man, half-wolf form.

But what Snape couldn't figure out was that if it was just a simple transformation of the human body, the transformed wizard would not lose his mind due to animalization. The transformation of the werewolf was more like the state of keeping an Animagus transformed for a long time and completely forgetting his own human identity.

This does not conform to the basic rules of Transfiguration. Even if one is infected with the werewolf virus at birth and turns into a werewolf at the full moon, the transformation will take place twelve times a year, and the duration of each transformation is usually less than six hours, seventy-two hours in one year, and seven hundred and twenty hours in ten years.

Peter has been a mouse for ten years, and he has only become like a mouse, and he is still a little far from the stage of losing his mind and forgetting that he is a man and not a mouse.

"The only possibility is." Snape got up from the armchair and wrote a line on the blackboard beside him, "Blood Curse Orcs."

"When the curse of the werewolf was first born, it was probably improved from the blood curse of the werewolf. In other words, the guy who created the curse of the werewolf roughly rubbed the blood curse of the beast on a guy who had completely turned into a wolf, and spread it around the world as a plague."

"An interesting idea. After giving up the bloodline transmission, the werewolf curse is indeed more contagious than the blood curse. Unfortunately, after the transformation, you can't cast spells, you have no brains, and you can't spread this plague on a large scale just by relying on your bloodthirsty instinct."

"This kind of curse without beauty is really boring."

"Godfather, what do you mean...you can fix the werewolf curse?"

The surprised Harry almost didn't hold back his expression after learning the whole story, is he as awesome as his godfather?

"6!"

Harry gave a thumbs up. Although Snape couldn't figure out what the special meaning of 6 was, the admiration on Harry's face was still very useful to him.

"But don't get too excited. I'm not the first to discover all this. The wizard who invented the wolfsbane potion actually also noticed this. It's just that he is not good enough to make a potion that directly suppresses the curse. Therefore, we can only start by weakening the body's strength and restoring human rationality."

"It's almost impossible for Lupine to turn back into a human. The curse of the werewolf has already taken root in his body. If it's the initial stage of the infection, there is still a little possibility of saving it."

Snape poured cold water on Harry. The werewolf curse is like a cancer. If it is detected early, there is a possibility of cure, but if it is late, it can only wait for a miracle to happen. Lupine has already missed the best period of treatment. Although the werewolf curse will not kill him, it will still accompany him for the rest of his life.

"What I can do is, after he drank my wolfbane potion, he can maintain his human form during the full moon, pretend to be a normal person, and integrate into society."

"This is already remarkable, godfather, this is already a miracle for them, right?"

"That has to be affordable."

Although it is very useful in his heart, Snape is a down-to-earth character, "My improved wolfbane potion is indeed very useful, but almost all werewolves are poor, and they may not be able to afford a single Galleon. Not all werewolves can afford this potion. Even if it is just the cost, it is worth a month's salary of an ordinary employee of the Ministry of Magic."

"Fifty Galleons."

Snape opened his right hand and held it lightly, as if grasping the tragic and bleak life. No one wants to be a werewolf, they are a group of poor people abandoned by social discrimination.

"It's a pity that most werewolves are not worth selling themselves," Harry said regretfully. He is not a majestic saint. If there is value, he would not mind making a deal with the wolfsbane potion to buy their lives. But werewolves have lost too much, and there are very few werewolves who are as lucky as Lupin. Most werewolves can't even use the simplest magic tricks.

"But who the hell, at least Lupine can afford it. Defense Against the Dark Arts is five hundred Galleons."

"You are very kind to him." There was a trace of jealousy in Snape's words. It was the first time he had seen Harry care about someone so much, obviously he had never even seen Lupin's face.

"He's my mother's good friend, isn't he?" Harry smiled slightly, and fed Snape the irresistible candy. "If my mother knows that you have done such a great thing, Godfather, she will be very happy."

Snape was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, and said in a very gentle voice: "Yes, Lily has always been a very gentle and considerate girl."

"Give those werewolves to me for research. I can't use some special methods to test the medicines on those in the Forbidden Forest. If you catch those werewolves, they will die and no one will care."

"And then we keep Lupine's identity secret?"

"Yes, as long as he takes the medicine on time, he is no different from a normal person, and no one will notice."

Harry also heaved a sigh of relief. Without Snape's current version of Wolfsbane Potion, he still needs to pave the way for Lupine. After all, once his identity as a werewolf is revealed by interested people, his professor will not last long.

Although Lupine has disappeared from people's sight for more than ten years, he still needs to prepare for the worst.

"Then I wish you a medal of the Order of Merlin in advance?"

Harry took out a bottle of spirits that made Snape's eyebrows twitch. His godson is good at everything, but the habit of pulling people to drink has to be changed. Is the 95-degree alcohol mixed with water drinkable?

"The Medal of Merlin?" Snape curled his lips, showing a touch of disdain, "The first-class medal is still worth collecting. With this spare time, I might as well use this potion to add a star to my potion master certification."

"There's nothing to celebrate." Snape waved his hand and began to chase people away. "I still have to prepare a substitute class for Defense Against the Dark Arts. Lupine doesn't know how to come to work early."

Seeing Snape who was preparing the courseware, Harry pushed the door quietly and left, but he muttered with some doubts: "How many Defense Against the Dark Arts classes do you have to prepare the courseware?"

Assuming that his godfather is a conscientious and responsible teacher, Harry strolled around the castle while drinking some wine.
