[HP] Squib Prince

As soon as Hogwarts was on holiday here, Snape left immediately.Although Brian himself heard that he was only going to pick up someone and there was no danger, he was still anxious, afraid that he would hear the news of Snape's injury immediately.Still, Mr. Duke couldn't stand it anymore, so he directly slipped Bryant into the potions room and assigned a lot of tasks.Naturally, for such a precise subject as potion, you can't slack off when making it. Brian can only devote himself to it, and those cranky thoughts will stop.

These performances made Mr. Duke shake his head.He really can't laugh or cry about this heir who has been wandering in the Muggle world, and he doesn't know what kind of reaction he will have if he finds out about his conversation with Snape. He probably will ask Snape to do something stupid again. .Just thinking about it made Mr. Duke very helpless, so he made up his mind to keep that conversation from Brian.

Just when Brian thought that this summer vacation would pass in such a busy way, an unexpected visitor came to Prince Manor—Madam Pomfrey.

Because Prince Manor was open to Hogwarts, Madam Pomfrey came out of the fireplace without notifying Brian, which surprised Brian very much.

"It's rude to come here without prior notice." Madam Pomfrey's complexion was very haggard. She had two big dark circles under her eyes, and she looked like she hadn't rested well for several nights.

Brian froze for a moment, then shook his head quickly.He had great admiration for this lady who had dedicated her life to Hogwarts, especially since this lady had saved his life, which made him even more grateful.Judging from Madam Pomfrey's principles, if it wasn't an urgent matter, she definitely wouldn't do such a thing.

Thinking of this, Brian's heart suddenly tightened. Could it be that something went wrong with Snape?Brian quickly stabilized his weak hands and asked, "Did something happen? Could it be Severus?"

Madam Pomfrey was taken aback when Brian asked this question, and then shook her head: "It's not Severus, it's Headmaster Dumbledore who was injured. It's just that I've never seen such a wound, and there's nothing I can do for Dumbledore. Lido to heal. And Severus hasn't come back yet, all I can think about is you."

Brian was relieved to hear it wasn't Snape.But the more he listened, the more surprised he was, and finally he could only open his mouth, not knowing how to reply for a while.He never thought he could cure ailments that Madam Pomfrey was helpless against.

"I don't have any experience in this field. The only thing I can do is to make potions according to the script. And this is not top-notch. Can I help?" Brian rubbed his hands and asked.

Madam Pomfrey pinched the bridge of her nose wearily, and then smiled wryly: "There is no way to do this. The only person who can be trusted at Hogwarts is Pomona, except me. But Pomona has nothing to do with this." There is no way. We searched the Hogwarts library all night, but found no relevant information. The most important thing is that this matter should not be known to the outside world as much as possible according to Dumbledore's wishes. In this way, we can ask for help It's only you. After all, Prince, as a potion family, has more books on some treatments than Hogwarts' collection. Although this request is presumptuous, there is really nothing we can do about it."

After listening to Madam Pomfrey's explanation, Brian nodded helplessly: "I really have to thank you for trusting me so much. I'll go and have a look with you."

Seeing that Brian had agreed, Madam Pomfrey hurriedly left from the fireplace.Brian had never seen Madam Pomfrey in such a hurry, so he could only sigh and followed closely.Although they and Dumbledore are on guard against each other, in any case, as the pillar of Hogwarts, the spiritual leader of many civilians in the magic world, and the same purpose between them, Dumbledore cannot fall down, especially It is at this time.The matter of Voldemort has just begun to emerge, and the investigation has just started on the right track, but the general public in the wizarding world knows nothing about it. At this time, Dumbledore must not be allowed to have any problems.

Brian frowned all the way, thinking about these questions.Until Madam Pomfrey led him to the hidden room in the medical wing.

Dumbledore was lying on the hospital bed at this time, and he was not surprised to see Brian coming in after Madam Pomfrey.He smiled and greeted Brian: "Long time no see, Brian. I wonder how your summer vacation is going?"

Brian was taken aback when he saw Dumbledore's pale face, and then he found that although the other party was as peaceful and kind as ever, he was definitely not as energetic as before.His pale face was not counted, and there was a faint blackness, as if he had been entangled by some terrible curse.

Brian nodded. "I'm fine. It's just that you look worrisome."

Dumbledore was not angry when he heard this, but he was a little annoyed in his words: "I was careless for a while. I didn't expect to be like a young man at my age, so I couldn't see it..." Afterwards, those words seemed to be Just like talking to himself, Brian didn't know whether to answer or not.

"Madame Pomfrey told me that your health is in trouble." Brian pursed his lips, thought for a while, and then said, "Can you let me see what's wrong?"

Dumbledore nodded calmly, and then lifted the quilt that was lying on his body.Seeing the scene under the quilt, Brian couldn't help but gasped.Looking at Dumbledore's face, he never thought that the other party would be so serious.

How should I describe it?Dumbledore's limbs were completely black, especially his left hand, which was no longer black enough to describe it, it looked as if it had been scorched, the hand that was originally skinny due to age was now It looked even more like there was no flesh at all, and the poor bones seemed more like something was about to peel off because of the burning.It's downright scary to look at.

Dumbledore was not surprised at all by Brian's frightened expression. He even joked with a smile as usual: "Bobby's expression was much more shocked than yours when he saw it. Your psychological quality is very good, Brian. "

Brian looked at Dumbledore in disbelief. He couldn't help pointing at Dumbledore's black limbs, and asked, "You still have the heart to joke? How did you get into this look?"

Madam Pomfrey was also furious at the side, and rubbed her red eyes and snorted coldly: "I advise you to keep your mouth shut. If you always have this attitude, there is no guarantee that I will not Kick you out of the hospital wing one day because you can't take it anymore. Let all Hogwarts students see what their headmaster did to him because of his recklessness!"

Seeing Madam Pomfrey's angry appearance, Dumbledore wisely chose to shut up, and then blinked innocently at Brian.This small action that Dumbledore is accustomed to made Brian almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. It has reached this level. How can Dumbledore be so calm?

Brian calmed down for a while before he remembered his purpose for coming here today.He looked at Dumbledore's good-looking frown, and then said uncertainly: "I've never seen such an injury. It looks like it was poisoned, but seeing your left hand, it seems to be poisoned." Burnt. Did you touch some kind of dark magic?"

Speaking of this, Madam Pomfrey glared at Principal Dumbledore viciously again, and then she simply turned her eyes away and went out with red eyes.

Dumbledore watched Madam Pomfrey's movements and did not make a sound. After the door of the room was closed, he smiled wryly and said, "It's my fault. I didn't expect that at such a long age, I would also have a weak will." When. I think, I should be under some kind of curse. And this curse has been devouring my vitality and magic power. I have no way to undo it myself."

Brian had never heard of this level of black magic. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.Seeing Dumbledore's situation, he was sure that there was absolutely no way to solve it on his own words.

"Then you now..." Brian couldn't continue. As a person who has just been educated about what life force is, he certainly knows that once all life force and magic power are lost, the only thing that greets Dumbledore is death.That's not okay, whatever the reason, Dumbledore needs to be alive.

"The absorption of life force and magic power, does this have anything to do with that crown?" Brian asked.

Dumbledore glanced at him unexpectedly, and then said with a smile: "The crown only absorbs life force, but it cannot absorb magic power. This curse should not feel as complicated as the crown, after all, it absorbs all the energy in the body indiscriminately."

Bryan nodded. In fact, he suspected that Dumbledore was cursed by a Horcrux.However, judging from the information he searched, the Horcrux should not have this function.Anyway, put this aside for now.Brian thought for a while, then asked, "How long can you last?"

This question sounds cruel, but it is indeed the primary concern of Brian and the others.

When Dumbledore talked about this, he was not as relaxed as before.Although his tone was still calm, his deep voice let Brian know that the situation was not optimistic.Sure enough, he heard Dumbledore's answer.

"Although I have tried my best to suppress the absorption speed, I don't think it will take long before I can no longer mobilize my magic power to do this. Now, the absorption speed is getting faster and faster, and there are still three days at most..."

Brian's eyes widened suddenly, not to mention whether he could make an antidote, but the time alone was terribly nervous.Brian clenched his fists and kept telling himself to calm down, calm down.After a while, he could finally calm down and think about the problem.

Brian kept saying "absorb magic power, absorb magic power" and "absorb life force, absorb life force" in his heart. After a while, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "If your magic power can be preserved, but there is no way to stop it?" What about the absorption of life force?"

Dumbledore thought for a while, and smiled: "I know where your idea came from, but I'm not sure whether it will slow down the absorption rate or speed it up..."

Brian bit his lower lip helplessly, lost in thought again.At this time, he desperately hoped that Snape would appear by his side soon.
