The world of Harry Potter, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
When Victor, who traveled through time and space, stepped into this mysterious ancient building again, it happened to be September 1, 1991, the day when the savior Harry Potter officially entered school.
Since he returned in the afternoon and the sun was still high in the sky, he did not see Christina and others who he had been missing for the first time. At this time, the girls, like most of the little wizards at Hogwarts, were riding on the Hogwarts Express, heading towards this great school.
After learning from Filch that today was the first day of school, the home mage hesitated for a moment and then walked to the principal's office at Hogwarts.
A lot of things must have happened during the year he left. If you want to get the most detailed and comprehensive information, the old madman Dumbledore is always the best choice.
As for meeting the girls, evening is a great time.
"Oh, look who this is, our Professor Victor is finally back"
As soon as a certain house reached the entrance of the principal's office, he saw the old mage who had already received the news from the portrait standing with the gloomy Snape, smiling happily in his direction. After laughing, the old man stepped forward and gave a black-eyed mage he hadn't seen for a long time a long-lost hug. At the same time, the old man naughtily leaned into someone's ear and whispered in a joking tone.
"My dear, if this old man remembers me correctly, you still owe Hogwarts several cooking lessons"
At the beginning, a certain guy only worked as a cooking professor for a little over half a year before going to the legendary world of gods and ghosts. According to the contract that lasted for one year, it was indeed a lot worse.
"I wonder when you are going to pay it back? You know, we have a contract"
Hearing this, the black-robed mage rolled his eyes.
"Dear Dean, if you have anything to say, just say it."
If the old mage really cared about that contract, he would have made it clear to him when he came back last time. The reason why the old mage suddenly brought up this matter now is probably because something is about to happen and he needs to stay within the confines of Hogwarts. As for what exactly? Even if someone doesn't know clearly yet, he can still guess a thing or two. Thinking about today, thinking about Harry Potter being admitted to school, and thinking about the fact that he was about to meet a new professor who smelled like garlic, the answer was obvious.
Voldemort is back.
"My dear, let's go back to the dean's office to talk."
After some of his little thoughts were revealed, the old mage showed no trace of embarrassment on his face.
With that said, he directly picked up Master Zhai, pushed open the door behind him, and walked towards the principal's office that belonged to him.
They are going to talk about some confidential matters next, so it is naturally inappropriate to do so in an extremely empty place like the entrance to the office.
"Hi, Professor Snape."
On the way, the home mage smiled and greeted his long-lost partner, the most outstanding Potions Professor of this century, the cold Snape.
"Um."
The greasy professor nodded coldly as a response to someone.
The Master Zhai knew that a certain guy had always been like this, so after saying a simple hello, he casually sat on the sofa in the principal's office and waited quietly for the old Master to announce the answer that was nothing new.
"Vic, I think you've guessed it."
Dumbledore sat down in his seat and spoke in a solemn tone.
"Voldemort is back."
"Come back when you come back, we can just solve it directly."
Hearing that this was indeed the reason, Master Zhai replied casually. Compared with a year ago, he has experienced too many things and has grown completely. Now that he had absolute confidence to face the full version of Voldemort, he was no longer as cautious as before, and his tone was relaxed and normal.
"Right."
Looking at someone's confident appearance and thinking of the past, the old mage smiled with emotion.
" Voldemort has been destroyed many times by them. I believe this time will be the same as before. They just need to do their best."
"By the way, what happened while I was away?"
After saying this question, Master Zhai naturally asked what he was most concerned about.
"There are many"
Regarding a certain cooking professor¡¯s question, the old mage, who felt that Voldemort was no longer a problem, answered with a smile.
A lot of things have indeed happened in the past year or so.
Among them, Victor is naturally most concerned about the current situation of the "organization you know". The old mage also understands thatBecause of this, it was naturally the first thing he mentioned.
Under the whimsical ideas of those little guys, the more efficient and cheaper magic assembly line, and the care of the old bees, big dogs and platinum nobles, the "organization you know" has been developing rapidly and steadily. So far, the "Game Store You Know" has become the most famous toy store in the entire wizarding world. It has large flagship stores in the UK, France, Germany, New Zealand and other countries where wizards gather, and its business has already spread to every place where magic exists. land.
Recently, those little guys are discussing to open the latest flagship store to the other half of the earth, that mysterious and long-standing ancient Eastern country.
After saying this, the old mage continued to talk about Voldemort.
This time, because the wizard has obtained the magic stone, the Dark Lord's goal is slightly different from the original work.
According to Dumbledore's account, Victor knew that the Dark Lord was possessing Quirrell this time, and what he wanted to find was no longer the gem in his ring, but something else he cared about, something closely related to him. The most important thing is the life medicine successfully developed by the potion master using those otherworldly potions. The reason why Professor Snape stayed with the old mage today was because Professor Quirrell had contacted him privately and allowed him to see the possessed Dark Lord.
As for why the elixir of life was leaked, it was thanks to the cunning little Mr. Malfoy.
It all started when a few little guys came back last time.
In order to calm Lucius's anger, Mr. Malfoy, with the help of a group of bad friends, finally found a life-saving straw.
By cheating, he told his father that the reason why he followed Professor Victor to another world regardless of his life expectancy was not just for fun, but because he discovered a major secret that could change the pattern of the entire wizarding world. In order to give the Malfoy family an advantage in future changes, he participated in the time travel at all costs. Although he still hasn't investigated this secret clearly because of Professor Victor's caution, he already knows the most crucial part, which is that this secret is closely related to some things he gave to his godfather that were encrypted by Professor Victor. .
Under Malfoy¡¯s sincere performance, Lucius was silent for a moment, and finally chose to believe his son.
For the son he watched grow up, the platinum noble didn't think much and still maintained his previous trust. But a certain big noble didn't notice that since his son got mixed up with the little lion of Gryffindor, he was getting further and further away from the pride of the pure-blood nobles.
Things went smoothly after that. Relying on his good relationship with Snape, Lucius easily knew that the Potions Master was researching the elixir of life.
This was originally just an ordinary thing, so the potion master did not hide it. After all, he had studied many ancient potion formulas. But after his son's special reminder, Lucius completely complicated the matter and thought of many things that Victor and Snape had never thought of.
In the end, a fictitious and perfect plan became clear in the mind of a certain noble.
No matter who you are, lifespan is an extremely important thing. Otherwise, Voldemort would not have taken a name like Leap to Death and worked hard for it. In Lucius's opinion, the reason why the mysterious mage became interested in the potion of life was probably because he wanted to use the threat of lifespan to secretly control every noble who was afraid of death and become a big figure who could influence the entire wizarding world.
Thinking of this, Lucius felt that he had grasped the purpose of the mysterious mage.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, the operation of this matter is not as difficult as imagined. After all, there are only a few wizards who can look down upon life and death like Dumbledore. Most wizards hope to live longer, especially those nobles who are not short of money. Now, the only problem is that the effect of these life potions, if they can only extend life for one or two years, will not be attractive to those nobles at all. But once it can extend a wizard's life for twenty or thirty years, the plan has a high chance of success.
Lucius did not wait long before he received the news that Professor Snape had completed the life potion.
When Mr. Malfoy came to the potion office of Hogwarts as quickly as possible and without any image, the expression on his face after hearing the effect of this potion in the slightly excited tone of his friend Snape Particularly wonderful.
To be honest, the effectiveness of this potion far exceeded his expectations.
Although Snape heard in a dissatisfied tone that this potion can only increase a wizard's life by about fifty years due to drug resistance, it is much stronger than the life-extending secrets circulated in the families of major nobles. In addition, the magic potion required for this medicine can be cultivated in large quantities, and the configuration method is justIt was so simple that a senior potion master could complete it, which made him feel that the success rate of that plan was higher.
When he learned the news, Lucius didn't think about taking advantage of Victor's absence to completely take possession of the potion of life for himself.
But after thinking about it for a long time, he could only give up this seemingly tempting plan.
Dumbledore, who had been hanging out with Victor, would never watch him do such a thing, not to mention that he had to consider Snape's feelings. The double agent was definitely not someone to be fooled.
As for destroying or preventing? That is more difficult than the above plan. Facing the temptation of life, the so-called covenant and aristocratic friendship are weaker than a piece of blank paper. In desperation, Lucius, who was not very willing, had to release the news through his own channels in order to gain some aristocratic friendship and obtain enough benefits for the Malfoy family in another way
