Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

In the following days, Dean spent almost all of his body and mind wandering in the ocean of knowledge. He would occasionally take out the fragments of statues obtained from the pyramid and play splicing games, and he lived a very fulfilling life.

The manuscript given by Grindelwald records his spell-casting skills and experience over the years. Although there are no original spells, Dean discovered after practice that using Grindelwald's skills to cast spells will improve the magic output. While remaining constant, the power of the spell is increased by 10%!

This is an extraordinary improvement. If you take into account the bonuses of different wands... Dean can hardly imagine how Newt and Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald, who had the Elder Wand and this unique spellcasting skill.

Could it be that for some ulterior reason, Grindelwald gave up at the last moment?

Thinking about the blood oath pendant still in the dragon skin bag, Dean felt that this possibility was very high.

Maybe next time we meet, we should consider asking about the Blood Oath Pendant.

Dean has thought about this more than once. The Blood Oath Pendant is still silent. This is another problem that troubles him.

Compared with Grindelwald's generosity, Dumbledore's rewards seemed much stingy - Dean pretended to be a hawker and asked Hagrid to tell him personally how to deal with Lu Wei, and Dumbledore's sealed rewards in advance were also exposed: Then It is "The Twelve Uses of Dragon's Blood" written on an ancient and worn parchment...

As one of Dumbledore's most famous achievements, "The Twelve Uses of Dragon's Blood" has actually been out of the public eye for a long time. It can be found in detail in any professional book.

Perhaps the only value of this reward is that the content above is written by Dumbledore himself... right?

Dean just read it through after the seal was automatically unlocked. After not finding even a single word difference with those mainland products, he stuffed the parchment into the dragon skin bag - thinking that it was Dumbledore's manuscript. , Dean thinks it still has some collection value.

In the process of studying Grindelwald's manuscripts, the progress of "Grindelwald's Favor" is steadily increasing. Even if no rewards have been unlocked yet, it will be a matter of time before the progress is completed; in addition, the progress of the task "Knowledge is Power" is increasing. As time goes by, Dean's magic power is also slowly growing slowly and subtly.

Dean felt that he was not sure of victory in challenging other professors, but against the extremely weak Quirrell, even with Voldemort's secret help, Dean could eat him to death.

Now Dean just needs to wait patiently for Quirrell to break through the level of the Sorcerer's Stone, and then look for an opportunity to save Quirrell - it's not that he doesn't want to act in advance, but due to the agreement with Dumbledore, he can only wait for Quirrell to be grinding away. Only after Harry uses up all the swords and stones can he be saved before he is killed by the protective spell Lily casts on Harry.

To be honest, this timing is really hard to grasp.

Fortunately, Dean has now obtained the Marauder's Map from the twins, making it extremely easy to monitor Quirrell.

What surprised Dean was that Quirrell had kept silent for some reason. Instead, while monitoring Quirrell, Dean noticed that Snape would enter the Room of Requirement and stay all night long almost every night.

Dean knew that Snape's Potions class was fully booked almost every day, and he stayed up late every day despite such hard work... Dean was worried that Snape would fall down earlier than Quirrell.

Dean felt that he needed to talk to Snape.

One Friday night, Dean arrived at the door of the Room of Requirement early and stopped Snape before he was about to enter.

"Dean, why are you here? You should be sleeping in bed at this time!" Snape's eyebrows knitted into knots after seeing Dean, "Have you forgotten that your aphansia has just shown signs of improvement? ?”

"Professor, I want to talk to you." Dean said worriedly, looking at Snape's dark circles under his eyes.

"I don't think I have anything to talk to you about," Snape said with an unkind expression.

Recently, he had been avoiding Dean intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't expect Dean to come directly to block him.

"Professor, we have to talk today." Dean blocked the door of the Room of Requirement that had appeared.

"If you don't want me to deduct all Gryffindor points, disappear from my sight immediately!" Snape threatened in a low voice.

"Professor, you wouldn't do that." Dean said confidently, "I didn't violate any school rules."

"Really? I don't think so." Snape said greasyly.

"I know that if you think about it, you will always think of a reason to deduct points." Dean muttered.

Snape's face immediately showed that familiar look of disgust that usually only appeared on Snape's face when directed at other Gryffindors, especially Harry.

Dean immediately realized that Snape's patience with him was about to run out, and he was unintentionally draining Snape's goodwill towards him.

"Sorry, Professor, I'm not looking for you tonight to ask about my biological father." Dean said quickly before Snape got angry.

Snape's expression clearly relaxed when he heard this. He glared silently before reaching over Dean's shoulder and pushing open the door to the Room of Requirement: "Well, let's come in and talk."

This time, the Room of Requirement was a potions laboratory. As soon as Dean entered, he understood everything. Snape must have been frantically studying the three recipes he got from Umbridge recently.

"Professor, why are you working so hard?" Dean asked softly, "Even if those three formulas cannot be researched, it doesn't matter."

"When will it be your turn to dictate my decision?" Snape said displeased, "If you have anything to do, tell me quickly!"

"Professor, I'm worried about your health. You can't stay up late like this every day!" Dean was a little anxious.

"Dean, please answer me a question first. How do you know that I stay up late every day?" Snape asked with a serious face.

Dean was immediately speechless.

"Are you spying on me?" Snape's voice became softer.

Dean began to really panic, knowing that this was a prelude to Snape's impending rage.

"Professor, Professor, you should know that I don't have the ability to monitor you without being noticed by you. I just think that you are in a bad mental state recently." Dean reluctantly defended.

"Lie!" Snape said sternly, staring into Dean's eyes. "I personally prepare a bottle of energy potion and drink it every day. You should know how effective that potion is!"

"Professor, Master Newt once told me not to rely too much on energy potions. I think you should take this as a warning." Dean tried to change the subject.

"In terms of potions, I believe I have more say than Master Newt." Snape gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me, how do you know that I stay up late every day!"

"Well, it was Professor Dumbledore who told me. He hoped that I could persuade you." Dean found that he could only answer this.

"Really?" Snape looked at Dean condescendingly. He suddenly realized that Dean's size had grown a lot without him realizing it. I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to look at him from this angle soon.
