Chapter 104 Petrification
It's a pity that Raven's plan was not successfully realized.
Because Marcus Flint was petrified.
"Mr. Weasley, I heard from Pomona that you have mature mandrakes in your hands?"
At lunch time on Sunday, Snape walked down from the teacher's chair and came to the Hufflepuff table.
I found a seat next to Jack and sat down.
The fingers of both hands are interlocked and the elbows are resting on the long table.
He looked at Raven calmly, as if he didn't care about the unpleasantness last night at all.
Only a few iron slaves on the Slytherin side were too depressed to eat.
The grumpy ones have already started looking for people in the house, wanting to know who deducted so many points from Slytherin.
Snape continued.
"Maybe you should take your mandrake and me to the infirmary,
Mr. Marcus Flint needs mature mandrakes to unpetrify him. "
Raven raised her eyebrows.
"Petrified? But that's none of my business. Want mandrake? A thousand gold galleons."
Raven connected to the basilisk and got last night's action log from the assistant brain he installed on it.
He did not kill the basilisk;
This basilisk's performance in all aspects is pretty good, so I just kept a control method.
Over the past few hundred years,
Even though its diet includes humans, it has never eaten humans.
If there is no Acromantula to eat, I will hunt rats and rabbits in Hogwarts to survive.
And the only murder record was under the control of Voldemort.
In the parallel world, when Voldemort was unable to control it and allowed it to act freely, no one was killed.
They were all petrified "by chance".
After all, although Salazar Slytherin didn't like Muggles, he was indeed cruel.
But he would not kill his own students.
Indeed, last night the heir to the Chamber of Secrets ordered a basilisk to attack Marcus Flint in his hospital bed.
But what does it have to do with Raven?
"Madam Pomfrey of the Hospital Wing discovered extensive blunt force injuries on Marcus Flint.
I assume you don’t want your brothers to be warned by the Ministry of Magic, right? "
Snape still looked calm and confident;
In his opinion, his behavior was not excessive.
Raven tricked him last night because a fifth-grade student wanted to duel with a first-grade girl.
He thought it was even, the points were deducted, and he could still gain them back in Potions class.
But if a student is petrified and is absent for a long time, that is his responsibility.
Regardless of whether the student did something wrong or offended anyone,
Snape, as the head of Slytherin, must cure him.
He didn't insist on Raven producing the mandrake.
It is true that the mandrake cultivated at Hogwarts is still in its seedling stage and has insufficient medicinal properties.
When using mandrake to prepare a petrifying potion, the potion must be taken out within two minutes, and the petrified person must take it within two minutes after the potion is successfully prepared for it to be effective.
Otherwise, he could just go to the market and buy it.
In Snape's view, everything that happened to Marcus Flint was caused by Weasley's revenge.
High-level petrification cannot find the caster.
But the club wounds were enough to pin the attacker on George Fred.
People were also beaten and petrified,
Take out the materials to lift the petrification spell, and this matter is almost over.
Snape thought.
It's a pity that Raven rejected his proposal,
Raven brought a whole lamb rib to his mouth with his fork.
The teeth bit down, and the mutton bones of the ribs were neatly cut off, leaving only a row of teeth marks.
Then he slowly chewed the meat, bones and tendons of the lamb,
Said calmly
"If you think Marcus Flint was attacked in retaliation for Weasley,
Then Mr. Dean, you can go and ask the Auror to come over.
Your friends will be sure to help you bring Mr. Rufus Scrimgeour in person,
Mr. Lucius Malfoy will also be accompanying him as a member of the School Council,
Then you can see how the Aurors identified this attack. "
As Headmaster, Snape's handling of the matter was not wrong. Raven's mandrake had no cost.
As for the so-called duel, it was originally just a fight between children. At worst, Raven would have beaten him to vent his anger afterwards, and Snape would have pretended not to see it.
But now this matter is no longer just a conflict between students.
The other party himself brought things outside the school into Hogwarts.
You can't blame Raven.
If Raven was really "magnanimous" enough to un-petrify Marcus Flint.
Then the platform he has built over the past year is going to be in trouble.
The reason why those pure-blood factions in Fang are still obedient now is also the result of Raven's iron-blooded speed in destroying Ali Bashir.
Before completely taming this group of people, Raven needs to maintain a dignified and inviolable image, otherwise it will be very tiring to scheming with these people all day long.
Raven has no ambition to become a "Magic King".
But he didn't want to be like Dumbledore and spend a lot of time wrangling with various wizards.
Therefore, it is very cost-effective to tame these pure-blood factions.
They could save Raven a lot of time.
Like now, he doesn't need to worry much, he can already ignore the Ministry of Magic.
The Aurors will come as soon as they come. See if I'm afraid.
Snape didn't expect Raven to be so strong in rejecting his proposal. His expression changed slightly, but he quickly came to his senses.
Raven's words seemed to be a subtle expression of his power.
But it also revealed another meaning to Snape. The "pure-blood faction", his old friends, were on the same front as Raven.
This is worth pondering. Obviously Flint is also a pure-blood faction.
Although the Head of Slytherin lives in seclusion, his identity as Potions Master is enough to build a network of relationships.
In addition, he was born in Slytherin, so he is not ignorant of the ways of the world.
So he didn't feel that he had lost face.
Nodding slightly towards Raven, he left the Hufflepuff table. He wanted to write a letter to ask about his old friends.
When Pappy saw Snape leaving, he immediately came over.
Jack also sat in the middle position across from the two, forming a compact triangle suitable for the three to "conspire".
Pappy said in a voice that only three people could hear.
"Snape means that the gorilla was petrified? It's a pity that little Ginny beat him violently."
Although they have not known each other for a long time, Pappy and Ginny already have a very good relationship.
After all, this senior is not only a friend of her brother, she also likes to share delicious food with Ginny and likes soft magical animals. Who wouldn’t love her?
"Oh? Do you have so much confidence in Ginny?" Raven asked strangely.
"Of course, Ginny's little teacher is really amazing. I also learned a lot of new spells from him!"
"Xiaofu...teacher!?"
