Chapter 454: A series of traps for Lao Fu

Although he had used the pure-blood duel to suppress Umbridge's arrogance, Sebastian did not expect her to behave herself after coming to school. After all, this girl came with Fudge's orders, and if she wanted to make Fudge happy, she would definitely do everything she could.

Of course, Umbridge's appointment as a professor at Hogwarts had little direct impact on Sebastian.

If there is any inconvenience, it is that seeing a frog in pink clothes jumping around on campus every day is indeed a bit polluting to the eyes.

With Fudge's support, it is certain that Umbridge will act recklessly, but no matter how much she does, her main target will only be students.

Compared to the professors, the little wizards are the easiest targets.

Even in the original novel, Umbridge, apart from making a bunch of weird bans, mostly targeted a small group headed by Harry. As for the professors, she would at most use some annoying little tricks to disgust them, and the only one who really took ruthless action was Trelawney, who was also a typical person chosen to establish her authority.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with Dumbledore's order to maintain a superficial harmony with Umbridge.

After all, professors at Hogwarts are public figures, and their every word and action is watched by students. If they get into a fight with Umbridge, it will not only bring shame to the professors, but will also have a bad influence on the students.

Umbridge can be shameless and will leave Hogwarts after a few months, but the professors still have to teach here for a long time and cannot lose their composure.

After discussing Umbridge's matter, Dumbledore assigned some tasks to each member of the Order of the Phoenix and ended the meeting.

Snape did not leave the tent first as usual, but signaled Sebastian with his eyes that he had something to discuss with him.

When they were the only two left in the tent, Snape said calmly, "The You-Know-Who is pressing hard. Do you want to tell him some information about the dragon form?"

Lao Fu is too impatient. It’s only been a month and he can’t wait any longer?

It seems that the dragon-man form really concerns Lao Fu.

Sebastian curled the corners of his mouth and was about to complain when he heard Snape continue.

"By the way, the You-Know-Who has let Wormtail live in my house secretly. The reason I came out tonight is to have dinner and chat with you, and to gather information by the way."

"Wormtail?" Sebastian frowned. "Did the mysterious man let him live in your house to monitor whether you took his orders to heart, or did he still have doubts about you?"

"It's hard to say," Snape's expression did not change at all, "The You-Know-Who has always been very suspicious, but I feel that the most likely possibility is that he is really anxious."

"From what I understand, he has collected a lot of information related to Animagus in the past month, and asked the Death Eaters to prepare a lot of dragon blood for him, including dragons of various types."

"Oh? There are all kinds of dragons?" Sebastian raised his eyebrows and asked excitedly, "Did he experiment on himself?"

He was very interested in this result, because the prerequisite for transforming into a dragon is to use the blood of a single dragon to prepare the potion.

If Lao Fu experimented with multiple types of dragon blood on himself, the conflict between the different dragon bloodlines would make him completely lose hope of success.

When that time comes, let Snape report this key information to Voldemort, which will surely piss him off to death.

"No," Snape denied. "The mysterious man is very cautious. His experiments have always remained at the theoretical stage. That's why he keeps urging me. He needs your experience to verify his ideas."

"So, you need to think carefully about what information you are going to reveal and to what extent."

So cautious...

Sebastian nodded. "I was planning to use the fake insider information in the form of a dragon man to trick the mysterious man, but now it seems that the previous plan needs to be fine-tuned. He must be unable to distinguish the real from the fake."

He tapped his fingers on the table and thought carefully.

Voldemort still has to keep him awake for another two months, making him anxious and unable to sleep or eat, and letting him know that the news was not easy to come by. Only in this way will he dispel his doubts to the greatest extent and believe that the news is true.

However, we can take this opportunity to set a trap for Lao Fu.

Thinking of this, Sebastian looked up at Snape and said, "Severus, when you go back this time, you can tell the You-Know-Who that ordinary wands can't withstand the violent magic of the dragon form. You must use a special wand after the transformation."

"And this wand of mine is a relic left by Gryffindor. It is a treasure I got from the Gryffindor inheritance secret realm."

"Gryffindor?" Snape's tone was filled with doubt. "Will the You-Know-Who believe it? According to historical records, Gryffindor has never had such a special wand."

"He has to believe it even if he doesn't want to," Sebastian said confidently, "Don't forget, the You-Know-Who has also read Slytherin's magic notes, and it says that Slytherin got the inspiration from Gryffindor."

"Just tell the You-Know-Who that the wand was obtained by me in the secret realm. It was a gift that Gryffindor was going to give to Slytherin, but the two of them broke up completely in the end, and Slytherin's experiment was unsuccessful, so Gryffindor kept the wand."

Hearing this, Snape nodded slightly.

This statement is indeed highly credible, and the power of Sebastian's wand is worthy of the title of Gryffindor relic.

More importantly, he had actually seen Sebastian enter the secret realm with his own eyes. Under all these conditions, the mysterious man had no choice but to believe it.

However, this would make the mysterious man even more annoyed.

Thinking that the You-Know-Who would be unhappy, Snape felt refreshed. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he stood up and said goodbye: "That being said, I hope the You-Know-Who can sleep well tonight."

Leaving the tent, Sebastian found that Neville's parents had not left yet. They were chatting with Harry and the other little ones in the yard.

After seeing Sebastian appear, Alice came up to him directly: "Professor Swan, Frank and I want to ask you for help with something."

"What is it?" Sebastian smiled and said gently, "Just tell me, I will help you if I can."

"Look, I heard that Harry is receiving special training with you, so can you also train Neville? Frank and I have a mission with the Order of the Phoenix, so we can't train him this summer."

"No problem!" Sebastian agreed generously, "I still like Neville very much. Let him come tomorrow. He can live in Swan Manor or go back and forth by Floo every day. It's all fine."

After hearing this, before Alice could even thank him, Hermione, who was listening carefully beside her, could no longer sit still.

"Professor Swan, can I also go to Swan Manor for special training?"

Ever since the mysterious man returned, she had a sense of urgency, so she only stayed at home for a few days this summer before coming to the Burrow, just to be able to practice magic openly.

To be honest, she had long planned to wait until Harry's birthday to ask Sebastian to stay at Swann Manor for special training together.

Seeing Hermione so enthusiastic, Ron immediately expressed his opinion: "Professor Swann, can you take me with you? I also want to improve and become stronger."

Yo--

This spirit is good.

Anyway, it doesn't matter whether you drive one sheep or let two sheep go. The little ones can improve faster by competing with each other.

Thinking of this, Sebastian waved his hand.

"Okay, go pack your bags, and we'll go to Swan Manor together later."
