[HP] Five Poisons

Chapter 97 Potions Office

When Chi Mo went back to the dormitory to find Regulus to inquire about what happened at the hearing, Harry, who was angry at Simon, was pouring bitter water at Sirius through the fireplace.

"...They are also attacking Dumbledore. Fudge has used all his strength, and even put pressure on the Daily Prophet to attack those who lie about the resurrection of the mysterious man." I heard Harry complain that some students regarded him and Dumbledore as liars , and said that he was fabricating non-existent facts in order to show off, Sirius was silent for a long time before replying.

"Why did he do that?" Harry had long felt that Fudge was not a good person. Today, at the hearing, when he was acquitted, Fudge's wrinkled face was very dark. "He's just targeting us deliberately!"

"He thinks Dumbledore wants to take power."

Harry thought it was the funniest joke he'd heard this year. "Is he an idiot?"

"Of course, anyone with a brain would not believe it. But Fudge..." Sirius sighed helplessly, "he is a coward, fear distorts his judgment, and fear can make people do terrible things thing."

"Harry, when the Mysterious Man was in power last time, he destroyed everything we cherished. He is resurrected this time. The Ministry of Magic is afraid that it will do everything in its power to deny it."

Harry immediately sneered when he heard the words, "And then a pink toad was sent? She was also present at my hearing. I think she would like to send me directly to Azkaban."

Sirius stared at the open-mouthed godson, almost buried his staring head in his chest.

"...The Mysterious Man needs time to reorganize the army. It was 14 years ago, and there are a lot of them. Not only wizards, but also all kinds of dark magic creatures. He is recruiting troops, and so are we. Harry." Sirius' expression changed Seriously, "That woman has bad intentions, I can't be by your side, but you have to remember that only by protecting yourself can you do more things, Harry, you are very important to us, don't be impulsive."

Harry, who also knew that his life would not be so easy in the future, nodded sullenly, thinking about what tricks that woman would play against him.

Seeing Harry's listless look, Sirius coughed dryly, "Of course, I don't mean to let you be like a target and wait for someone to deal with it. Sometimes, you can..."

"So, after Fudge and Principal Dumbledore tore their faces apart, Fudge pressured her into it in the name of the Ministry of Magic?" No wonder Principal Dumbledore was not polite to others, but, in terms of Putting pressure on Hogwarts directly in the name of the Ministry of Magic, shouldn't Fudge be able to do it alone?He remembered that Ruona once said that Hogwarts was independent and not directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic.He wondered how Fudge did this.

Regarding Chi Mo's doubts, Regulus answered in this way. "Lucius has long wanted to bring people down."

Chi Mo snorted, and said how Fudge could level the entire Ministry of Magic by himself. It turned out that Lucius Malfoy was behind it.It is estimated that people have been staring at that position for a long time, and finally caught a chance that Fudge wanted to die, so he came over to add bricks and tiles right away. Maybe the minister is still grateful for the timely and generous offer of the great nobleman. Out of his hand of friendship.

"The Ministry of Magic has meddled in Hogwarts, and I always feel that there is nothing good." Chi Mo sat cross-legged on the bed, propped his chin with one hand, and supported his knees with his elbows, speaking sympathetically, "Harry is probably the focus of attention again."

Regulus commented very pertinently, "He will get used to it."

Although he guessed that Umbridge would not be safe when he mentioned this to Regulus last night, Chi Mo really didn't expect that woman to be so impatient.

At dinner the next day, news spread throughout Hogwarts that Harry Potter had angered the new professor in Defense Against the Dark Arts class and was invited to the office after class.

Chi Mo glanced at the long table in Gryffindor, but he didn't see Harry's bird's nest head, only Ron and Hermione who were absent-minded.Chi Mo withdrew his gaze and raised his eyebrows at the news pass beside him.

The little fat man forked a piece of chicken breast from Chi Mo's plate, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, before smiling triumphantly, "I knew you would ask."

There was no need for Chi Mo to ask, the little fat man told everything he knew, "I heard that it was the pink toad that stipulated that spells are not allowed to be used in Defense Against the Darkness class in the future, and only need to endorse."

Phoebe, who came over to listen to the gossip, immediately complained, "Sure enough, no Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is reliable!"

Another round-faced Muggle-born girl also echoed, "If all the professors are like her, why do we still come to Hogwarts, just let the owl send all the textbooks home."

This statement was well received by other students.

The little fat man shrugged his shoulders, "Potter and the others are already in fifth grade this year, and they have to take OWLs. The toad directly said that the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam is in written form, and the content of the exam is in the textbook, so everyone should read it." .”

Hearing this, there seems to be no problem, Chi Mo patiently continued to listen to the little fat man.

"But many people have raised objections to this, especially Harry Potter." The little fat man first turned his head to confirm the enemy's situation, then turned his head and lowered his voice, "He questioned that toad in class. Teach everyone practical combat skills, what to do if you encounter danger, for example, the mysterious person..."

Hearing this, Chi Mo can almost guess the follow-up development.

Sure enough, the little fat man who got the news from whom he didn't know played two roles, vividly recreating the conversation between Harry and Umbridge.

The Hufflepuffs immediately sighed, some agreed with Harry, and some thought Harry was lying when he said that the mysterious man was resurrected.

But the latter situation was soon forgotten, because Digory, who happened to hear their conversation, looked at the boy who laughed the most, and said seriously, "He has indeed resurrected, I saw it with my own eyes."

Diggory is already in the seventh grade this year. He already has a very high reputation in Hufflepuff. After winning the Triwizard Tournament last year, his supporters spread all over Hogwarts.

However, Digory's upright and fair image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Most of the Hufflepuffs chose to believe what he said. Occasionally, there were one or two who were skeptical, and they were not as loud as before. .

As soon as he saw the male god appearing, the little fat man immediately abandoned his friends and rushed towards the seniors.

Chi Mo thought for a while, and felt that Umbridge should not be so stupid as to attack Harry on the first day, so he put the matter aside and prepared to go to Snape's office later.

Because Regulus said last night that the senior knew about his affairs, and he was very strict, so that Chi Mo could ask him for help if he had anything to do.

"Our relationship is not bad." Regulus said so.

Thinking that Snape is a famous master of potions, and should also be involved in many poisons in the magic world, Chi Mo decided to go to the cellar that he hadn't visited for a long time after dinner.

Thinking of the professor's not-so-talkative personality, Chi Mo even brought a bottle of dragon's blood over there.Well, the ingredients come from Carl, the dragon in the back garden...

"Professor Snape." Chi Mo knocked on the door, and after getting a response from inside, he turned the snake-shaped doorknob and walked in. He found that all Slytherin people like to wear snake-shaped decorations , from Regulus to Draco, without exception.

When I came in, I realized that there were already guests here.

Chi Mo looked at Snape, who was dressed in black all the year round, and then at Harry, who looked like a quail with his eye sockets on the sofa, and was a little surprised—was this being confinement by two professors?

Harry, who also didn't expect Chi Mo to come over, adjusted his glasses in embarrassment, and explained weakly, "I'm here to learn Occlumency..." The final sound was swallowed back in his stomach, because he saw his younger brother He was looking at him with disgust with an expression of "you haven't learned yet, why are you so stupid".

Harry silently shut his mouth.

Snape sneered, appreciating Harry's embarrassment, and then gave Chi Mo a sideways look, "What's the matter?"

Offering the bottle of dragon's blood with both hands, Chi Mo smiled innocently, "Potion science is too complicated and obscure, I have no choice but to ask the professor for my dull aptitude."

Harry: Hehe, you can say such things against your will.

Snape, who also knew that Chi Mo was opening his eyes and talking nonsense, snorted coldly, but he put the bottle of dragon's blood in his pocket unambiguously. Face, said dryly, "Then, Mr. Mo Chi wants to ask you about potions?"

Afraid that Harry was present, it would be difficult to directly ask about the poison, Chi Mo was about to be euphemistic, when a big face appeared in the burning fireplace.

"Severus, please come to my office, well, I like cream mints more recently."

Snape casually picked up the glass on the table, poured a glass of water over it, and Dumbledore's big face disappeared together with the flames.

Harry swallowed, saw Snape turn around, and glanced at Chi Mo, who was still smiling, "What a coincidence."

"Please rest assured and go about your business." Chi Mo said with a smile, "I will take care of myself."

Snape who ordered the guest to leave in disguise: "..."

After the dark back disappeared with a loud closing sound, Harry breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at his younger brother who had wandered to the row of cabinets, he didn't know what to say. He didn't believe that Chi Mo didn't Understand what Snape said.

"Wow~ As expected of Professor Snape~" Chi Mo exclaimed briskly, "Compared to when I came here in the second grade, he has many more good things~"

Already leaning back on the sofa, Harry, who was starting to feel sleepy, suddenly became alert, "What do you want to do?" Merlin blessed his brother from plucking the tiger's mouth.
