Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Snape’s Regret

Hogwarts, Snape's office.

 

Snape sat at his desk, looking at the five magical plants in front of him, lost in thought. The magical plants Lockhart needed to appraise had been mostly identified, and the results surprised him a little. He had originally suspected that Lockhart was involved in smuggling, but now his suspicions were completely dispelled. He was certain that the other party had a magical ruin in his possession.

 

Either they were the remains of an ancient potion master, or they were the remains of a magical plants cultivator. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why Lockhart had so many unknown ingredients at his disposal. Especially in the past few days, he specifically tried to explore these materials. Lockhart didn't hesitate at all and directly chose to use the material instead of gold galleons. What does this mean? This shows that Lockhart has a lot of materials in his hands.

 

To be honest, Snape regretted now that he had lost his identity as a dark wizard. Otherwise, capturing Lockhart and taking all his stuff would be a good idea. Of course, he was just thinking about it. As far as he knew, Lockhart was an explorer and his combat prowess was probably not weak. Well, it's not impossible to use potion to take what he wanted. Veritaserum and Obliviate Charm seem to go well together.

 

No, he couldn't think about it anymore. The more he thought about it, the more he had the urge to take action. Snape quickly retracted his thoughts. He was now the Potions Professor at Hogwarts and the Head of Slytherin House.

 

At the moment when Snape was thinking, suddenly.

 

Knock! Knock! Knock!

 

"Professor Snape, it's me."

 

Lockhart's voice sounded in the office along with a knock on the door.

 

"Lockhart, please come in. The door is unlocked."

 

Hearing Snape's voice, Lockhart entered Snape's office. After taking a look at the magic plant on the table, Lockhart said in a pleasant voice, "Professor Snape, what are the results of the test?"

 

"All tests have been completed," Snape nodded, took out a stack of appraisal papers, handed them to Lockhart, and said, "These are the results of the appraisal. You can take a look. It has my signature on it. If you sell it, you can directly say that it was authenticated by me. No one can doubt the authenticity."

 

Hearing this, Lockhart nodded and said, "Thank you, Professor Snape. There may be a batch of materials that need to be identified later, so I'll have to trouble you."

 

Hearing this, Snape squinted his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. Soon, he controlled his voice and said as gently as possible, "Lockhart, how many kinds of materials are there in the next batch?"

 

Hearing Snape's gentle tone, Lockhart felt a little uncomfortable but still replied, "Same as this batch, about seven or eight species."

 

Hearing this, Snape nodded secretly with a smile on his face. Lockhart suddenly felt uncomfortable. He had an inexplicable feeling that he had seen the other person's smile before. Well, this guy wouldn't want to rob him, right? Lockhart thought. It shouldn't be the case. The other party is the Head of Slytherin House and the Hogwarts professor. Lockhart felt a hint of amusement at his sudden thought.

 

Then, before he had time to think about it, he heard Snape ask, "Lockhart, how many of these five materials do you have currently? I'm going to order a batch."

 

Hearing this, Lockhart nodded suddenly. After thinking about it, Lockhart replied directly, "I still have some on hand, about 10 of each kind. How about it?"

 

Snape nodded after hearing this and said in a deep voice, "Okay, the price will be as recommended in the appraisal paper. Do you think it's okay?"

 

Upon hearing this, Lockhart said boldly, "Don't worry, Snape, you are my friend. If you buy it, you can get a 30% discount."

 

In response, Snape took a deep look at Lockhart, nodded slightly, and said nothing more. Although his face was still cold, his eyes were slightly softer. He mentioned 5 kinds of magic materials before, three of which are substitutes for some rare and even extinct potion materials, and the remaining two have very novel effects. It can be said that the value is not small.

 

"Okay, Snape. Put the materials aside for now. Now can we talk about the blood I gave you."

 

Hearing this, Snape nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Lockhart, I basically used more than half of the bottle of blood you gave me. If the blood is used as the raw material, some potions can indeed be made to improve physical fitness. However, other materials are not cheap either."

 

At this point, Snape changed the subject in the room and said with some amazement, "Lockhart, I have to say that it is a material of extremely high value. If you still have this blood in your hands, I will buy it all."

 

As he spoke, Snape explained, "After my testing, I found that the blood itself has a very strong fusion effect. If used to refine magic potions, it will have an effect similar to an accelerator. It can shorten the time for refining magic potion, at least by half."

 

Speaking of this, Snape's eyes lit up with fire. The efficiency of refining potions has been doubled, which is an unparalleled temptation for everyone who refines potions.

 

Lockhart was a little surprised when he heard it, but then he suddenly understood. Peter was able to successfully fuse the spider and gain its abilities, which shows that the blood itself is extremely special. Regarding Snape's request, Lockhart hesitated for a moment and said, "Snape, I only have this amount of blood at the moment. But I'll see if I can get some more next month. We'll talk about it when the time comes."

 

Hearing this, Snape nodded without saying anything. Last time, he heard Lockhart talk about how he couldn't catch the magical creature that resembled a golden snitch. Immediately afterwards, Lockhart was heard asking, "By the way, Snape, can this blood improve the user's instincts?"

 

In response, Snape shook his head and said, "It's not possible at the moment. No relevant effects have been detected. Perhaps instinct has little to do with blood. If there is the brain of the other party, I guess it may have a corresponding effect."

 

Hearing this, Lockhart took a breath. He was okay with the blood, but with Spider-Man's brain, he was a little worried about whether he could successfully return to the Harry Potter world. He quickly shook his head and replied, "The blood is fine, let's not talk about the brain for now. We will discuss it later."

 

Afterwards, Snape explained some material matters and then cordially communicated with Lockhart about some other issues. Well, he intentionally tested how Lockhart would deal with poisonous magical animals, as well as some methods of evasion.

Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Voldemort’s Horcrux Routine

After Lockhart left Snape's office, he thought back on their exchange. The more he thought about it, the more something felt off. Just talking about potions and his adventure experiences, it seemed that Snape was a little too curious about his methods. Snape had even asked about his ways of evading magical animals and briefly mentioned the Forgetting Spell, which he was best known for. Although these were minor mentions, they touched Lockhart's sensitive nerve.

 

Could Snape have found some traces of his original self? Well, maybe he was overthinking it. He had been a little too sensitive these days because of Dumbledore.

 

After returning to his office, Lockhart took out the black notebook hidden in the box again. He turned to the latest page and wrote while thinking.

 

"From today's experiment, a rune was discovered that can increase vitality to a certain extent."

"To be precise, it should store and release a small part of the vitality. Although the amount is not large, if it is used for alchemical items, I guess it may further increase the storage limit."

"Because it is mainly through blood that a certain amount of vitality is obtained."

"I named it - bloodthirst!"

"After experiments, the life force in other people's blood can be converted into one's own through bloodthirst runes, but the loss is huge."

 

Lockhart cast a disguise spell on himself as usual and wrote some tempting research insights in his notes. Suddenly, he noticed that the ink in his notes began to fade faster and faster. Soon, the page turned into a blank sheet of paper. Immediately afterwards, a line of text gradually appeared.

 

"Professor Lockhart, are you the owner of the notebook?"

"I am an alchemical item made by the previous owner, Tom Riddle. You can call me Tom."

 

Seeing the changes in the notebook, Lockhart's eyes flashed with joy. The fish had finally taken the bait.

 

Then, Lockhart quickly closed the notebook. After pausing for a few seconds, he opened it again and used the wand in his hand to cast spells on the notebook.

 

"Revelio!"

 

After a series of spells, the notebook showed no response, as if Lockhart was letting all his tricks go. In other words, it was confident enough to make all Lockhart's methods useless. After a while, Lockhart stopped casting spells. Feeling another secret fluctuation of mind reading on him, he deliberately revealed a trace of nervousness, worry, and fear of the idea of researching and leaking it.

 

Immediately afterwards, a line of text appeared on the notebook.

 

"Professor Lockhart, I am just an alchemical item, not a dark magic item."

 

Immediately afterwards, another line of text appeared.

 

"You can find Tom Riddle's name in the trophy room at Hogwarts."

"I have part of his memory, to a certain extent, as I was at Hogwarts 50 years ago."

 

Seeing this, Lockhart wrote with a pen: "Don't think that I am a fooled little wizard, I am a genius of Ravenclaw. I will verify everything you say. As long as there is any problem, I will destroy you."

 

This time the notebook paused, and for more than ten seconds, a line of text appeared again.

 

"Professor Lockhart, don't worry, the rules of the notebook itself do not allow lying. Lies cannot appear in the notebook. These are the rules set by the refiner, you can rest assured."

 

Seeing this, a sneer flashed in Lockhart's eyes. Lying is not allowed yet. If he really believed this, he might be tricked to death at some point. Immediately afterwards, he felt another wave of extremely small invasive mind reading on him. This time Lockhart revealed the idea of testing.

 

He paused for a few seconds and wrote in his notebook.

 

"Tell me all the information about your original owner, Tom Riddle, and I will make a judgment."

 

"Okay, Professor Lockhart. In a sense, I am Tom Riddle and I have a lot of his memories and knowledge. I was originally a student of Slytherin."

 

Next, in the next ten minutes of the diary, Tom Riddle's experience in school was introduced tirelessly. According to his description, Tom Riddle was a good student with excellent academic performance and was praised by many teachers. He was also the most popular person in Slytherin House.

 

Lockhart watched quietly without expressing any thoughts. The notebook seemed to know that this meant nothing to Lockhart. Then, a line of text appeared in the notebook again.

 

"Tom became the heir of Slytherin in his fourth year and received a lot of knowledge about Salazar Slytherin. I was also born at that time. You could say I am the product of Salazar Slytherin and Tom Riddle. Similar to the Sorting Hat, I have my own thoughts, but the rules dictate that I cannot deceive anyone."

 

Seeing this, Lockhart smiled with satisfaction. Finally, the other party gave him some benefit. The series of essays he wrote in his notebook before were actually intended to give an impression to the Horcrux. He is a researcher who yearns for immortality and power and believes that runes are the best way to achieve his goals. Therefore, if the other party wants to get his recognition, to be precise, he wants to get his research on immortality, and even wants to control him, there is no way to communicate with Lockhart without showing its worth.

 

A notebook with Salazar Slytherin's knowledge inheritance also has its own thoughts and cannot lie. If such an item is not used as a research assistant, it would be outrageous for both humans and gods, and it is unforgivable. Once it becomes a research assistant, wouldn't everything about it be revealed?

 

Then, as if to push Lockhart to resolve, the notebook continued.

 

"Professor Lockhart, there is a soul illusion space in the notebook, which can simulate some small experiments or perform magic exercises to a certain extent. Tom has been using this function to practice spells and conduct experiments. However, turning on this function requires a certain amount of magic and mental power. Do you need to turn on this feature?"

 

Seeing this, Lockhart felt another wave of spiritual intrusion on him. He quickly released some cautious but greedy and longing thoughts. After almost detecting this, Tom immediately took back his spiritual thoughts without leaving any trace. Lockhart couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Tom was worthy of being the Dark Lord. This wave of operations is really slippery. If you are not careful, you can easily fall into the Dark Lord's routine.

 

When mental power or soul enters the space in the notebook, don't forget that there is a fragment of Voldemort's soul inside. It said there is nothing fishy about this. How did the original Ginny become a puppet? But when he thought of Kamar Taj's magic and the soul shell provided by the system, a smile appeared on Lockhart's lips.
