[HP] Subversion - Destined

The atmosphere became tense.Snape remained silent, and the portrait of Dumbledore, who had been smashed somewhere, also remained silent.

"What does Voldemort mean by this? Out of embarrassment? Or... to divert attention?" Afraid we guess his target is the prophecy ball?Having said that, what use is that prophecy ball to him?I can't recall those vague memories of the original book, especially now that fate has changed so much.

"Potter, go to the study room and find the books you want. I need to read any books related to Potions. You know what to take and what not to take." Snape said an irrelevant sentence.

"You want to dismiss me?" I frowned in dissatisfaction and didn't move. "We are equal."

"I'm afraid you'll be overwhelmed by the blood. I know what you're worried about. I won't hide anything from you. I assume we trust each other?" Snape patted my shoulder lightly. , "Go, Harry." I bit my lip and walked into the back room reluctantly.

In Spider's End, there is a special old bookcase in Snape's study. I once looked through it. There are many books he read and took notes when he was a student, including some textbooks.Hogwarts textbooks don't seem to know how to renovate, and there is almost no difference between the textbooks decades ago and the current textbooks.At some point, he moved this bookcase to Hogwarts.Maybe he had the same intentions as me from the beginning?

I flipped through the books, most of which were marked as the Half-Blood Prince's, more or less crowded with some gradually forming ornate cursive letters, and he even had a record of the history of magic.Potions textbooks have the most notes, especially "Advanced Potion Preparation", and there are even spells in some places.My fingertips slid across the handwriting of "Shen Feng Wu Ying", and I slowly remembered that this book should actually be in the potions classroom of the senior grades, right?Put it back in its original place and never take it out. If it is accidentally practiced into black magic by these ignorant little wizards, the consequences will be unimaginable.

I continued to read one by one, and finally understood why Snape specifically mentioned that he had to read all the books about potions in person, except that some improved formulas involved prohibited materials, and there were some formed or unformed spells in them from time to time. , a large part may be black magic similar to Shenfeng Wuying.I broke out in a cold sweat for my father, James Potter. Merlin blessed him for not being maimed by the spell Snape experimented with.

Looking at it, I started to get tired after not concentrating for a long time. I yawned and was about to see if Snape and the others had finished talking. When I glanced, I found a copy of "The Transformation of Animagus" on the bookcase. Tips", Huh?So he also learned this?I pulled it out and flipped through it. There were many notes in it that were no less than Sirius' notes, but they were no longer recorded in the later "Dream Adaptation" chapter.Looking at his fonts, it seems that he started to study after graduation. Did he give up later?

"What are you looking at?" Snape's close voice startled me, he stood beside me at some point, stared at the book in my hand for a few seconds, and then pulled it away, "Are you still Listen carefully to your godfather, don’t read this book, it didn’t work.”

"Why? I can learn from your experience. Besides, just because you didn't succeed before doesn't mean you won't succeed now." I watched curiously as he hid the book to a higher place, and suddenly felt the anxiety in his heart, "... Can't you say it? That's fine."

I sat there silently, with Snape's back turned to me, unconsciously caressing the spine of a book, the surrounding was so quiet that only the beating of my heart could be heard, until the hollow tone seemed to float out of distant history , stated slowly and embarrassingly: "...no one is not afraid of the ruthlessness of the Dark Lord, and his snake king Nagini... as a Death Eater, this is even more so... Animagus transforms and needs Courage, self-confidence, strong beliefs, you can only truly change if you identify yourself as that kind of animal. At that time, when I realized the form I was going to change, I was... scared.”

Snape turned around, the thick black in his eyes seemed to be a fog that could not be cleared: "Harry, the Dark Lord is the heir of Slytherin, and the Parseltongue is its symbol. According to rumors, he can control all snakes, With his pet Nagini, there are almost no snakes that can disobey his commands - I can't, and I won't try to transform from an Animagus, you know what I mean?"

"... I know... Don't worry, my transformation will definitely not be that of a snake." I looked at him seriously.

His eyes were finally no longer the kind of hollowness that disturbed me, and he looked at me very strangely: "Are you kidding, Potter? If you were a snake, there would be no lions in the world."

"Hey... By the way, what does Dumbledore want you to do?" I asked casually.

"A potion that suppresses or removes the Dark Mark."

……

The tutor of DA was settled in this way, and the result was that except for Lupine who would occasionally come to see, we still had to practice by ourselves, the senior grades taught the junior grades spontaneously, and grew up in mutual discussions. Fortunately, there was the precious Half-Blood Prince Notes and Mr. HP's systematic theoretical teaching should not deviate from the direction.

In the end, the statistics of the number of people from each college came out. Only a small number of people in Gryffindor would not participate, half of Hufflepuff joined, and Ravenclaw was relatively small, less than ten people, and the least was Slytherin , Draco only brought Blaise Zabini.

"The identities of Slytherins are quite special. It is my honor that Draco is willing to trust me." The Zabini family is indeed a social expert, and Blaise's smile is very contagious. Immediately, Hermione took the case and decided to let him Join the core group of DA (that is, those members before the expansion).

DA has made a lot of communication badges, and everyone has one, but the DA communication book has become a secret communication tool for the core group due to the difficulty and complexity of making it, and the fact that it can contact Lockhart, Sirius, Lu and other powerful adult wizards .But also because of this, I was depressed by Umbridge's Legilimency, and I decided that all members should learn Occlumency—fortunately, Ron was more natural during that labor service, and the secret he could really understand was true. Not much, and Umbridge didn't seem to get much from him.

After the expansion of DA enrollment, I became even busier. In addition to doing homework, I also had to help members train.Since the DADA professors are different every year, everyone learns very messily.The most worrying ones are Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. The former learns most of the spells for pranks and duels every now and then, but the latter knows too few spells. Some of them will take the OWL exam this year. Neither will the disarming spell.Especially Hufflepuff, more than half of them are aimed at the title of savior. Every time I show up, I will be surrounded by them and ask questions. They are always dubious about other people's answers, and I have to repeat them.

Fortunately, there is only one fixed day of training for each grade every week, and the rest of the time is free, so I can sneak in to learn Animagus.Within a few days, I entered the dreamland mentioned by Sirius, and I was confused at first. I subconsciously thought that my beast was an eagle, so I always wanted to experience the feeling of flying in the sky, but for some reason, I felt myself Crawling around on the ground all the time... Could it be that he can't fly because he is too young and his wings are not yet full?

The days flew by as we obeyed Umbridge on the surface and stepped up our training secretly.Umbridge, who has gradually adapted to the daily order of Hogwarts, is becoming more and more arrogant. The new rules follow one after another, and he framed the walls with frames as if we were afraid that we would not know, and began to interfere with the normal teaching of other professors. It made the whole school very dissatisfied with her, but she seemed to enjoy this feeling of being cursed very much, and it intensified.Until one day she actually wanted to intervene in Hogwarts' defense system.

"Abus, are you crazy?! Hogwarts' magic defense doesn't just stop and start! Then the bloody detection will definitely cause a certain degree of defense gap. If the Dark Lord takes the opportunity to attack, he will have to set so many unknowns." What is the status of an adult wizard?!" Snape's gradually rising voice unsurprisingly affected Sirius who was lecturing to me in the corner.

"...This is an order insisted on by the Ministry of Magic and signed by all the school managers. Hogwarts without the headmaster cannot resist." Dumbledore's voice was unusually deep, "They simply decided to execute it during the Christmas holiday. , and most of the students will go back by then."

Snape sneered: "So what? Once infiltrated, they can completely hibernate. Don't forget how that mouse scurried around under your nose!"

"So, I can only ask you professors to pay more attention. In addition, you remind the creatures in the Forbidden Forest to strengthen their vigilance during Christmas. Animals will have a stronger reaction to animals." But at this time, Dumbledore The subject changed, "By the way, Harry, how is your Animagus doing?"

"I have encountered a bottleneck, but I believe he will succeed soon." Sirius replied quite proudly, "Harry is much more talented than us at that time!"

"Haha, very good, that's also because you taught well." Dumbledore praised without hesitation, Snape couldn't help snorting a disdainful nasal voice, turned and sat back at his desk.

After getting along so many times, Sirius has been able to ignore his arch-rival very well, and still gleefully gushed, "Harry's beast is probably a rare bird, but maybe because of his age, he always It is impossible to enter the state of flying. As long as this can be solved, you can try to transform, after all, his magic power is enough to maintain even a huge animal...." The portrait Dumbledore listened quietly until Sirius danced Let me recap my progress.

"Oh? Can't fly? Harry, maybe you can try to start from another angle? For example, learn to catch prey first?" Dumbledore suggested with a smile.

"But how can eagles hunt if they can't fly?" I suddenly remembered that he was a professor of transfiguration before he became the principal.

"Harry, why do you think you're an eagle?" Dumbledore asked.

I didn't think too much about it: "Because my Patronus is an eagle, and I like to fly—otherwise what animal would I be?"

He nodded his head, "Don't be limited in this thinking, maybe it's because your understanding is wrong, so you haven't been able to deeply understand your beast form. The so-called breaking and standing, throw away the eagle in your mind, If we start again, we may have new breakthroughs, otherwise we may stagnate here."

"Okay..." I don't quite agree with his opinion. After all, I spent so much energy in two or three months. Is it really necessary to start again? "By the way, Professor Dumbledore, what is your Animagus?"

"Me? Oh hehehe," as soon as he touched his own topic, he became unserious, "I, sometimes I am a chocolate frog, sometimes I am a pile of cockroaches, and sometimes I split into many bibidos Flavor beans. Sigh, it's really troublesome..." Everyone blacked out.
