Chapter 44 Imprisoned Again
"You look happy, Lumi."
Dumbledore's smile was kind.
His feeling was correct. Whether Lumi's future would be bright or dark, the key point lay with Luna.
Luna's kid is also very good.
"Principal, the matter has been resolved. I want to see Luna."
Lumi didn't want to stay with this man who was extremely vigilant and dangerous.
He would rather be with the annoying Weasley than with this dangerous old man with a white beard.
Upon hearing this, Snape's face darkened.
"Mr. Gugliel, if I am not mistaken, your confinement is not over yet."
"Lockhart has left and I will be responsible for the contents of your confinement. Go to my office and process the materials, now!"
As soon as these words came out, Lumi's face froze.
Yes, I still have a confinement on my back.
"Professor, I just killed the basilisk, why don't you let me go see Luna first? I promise, I will go to your office immediately after I go to the hospital wing."
Lumi wanted to fight for it.
Just like Dumbledore and Snape don't want to fall out with Lumi.
Lumi did not want to become an enemy with his teacher. Besides, the conflict between him and Dumbledore was irreconcilable, but other professors were not.
He only targeted Dumbledore.
What's more, in Lumi's view, Snape is not a bad person, and as a master of potions, his knowledge is a huge treasure house.
You learn something every time you work with materials.
Except for holidays, he was happy to visit Snape at other times.
"I assume that you haven't forgotten that your confinement is under the responsibility of the professor. Mr. Gugliel seems to have forgotten that he has not seen his Professor Lockhart for a long time."
Snape had already planned it.
He wanted the basilisk material very much, and it was absolutely impossible to ask for it directly now.
But there is a chance during the lockdown.
When it comes to handling materials, Lumi's weight control is terrifying.
But if he were left to handle a live snake alone, how would he do it?
No, no problem, I’ll teach you.
Wait until you are almost able to deal with the basilisk, then offer to help him deal with it, at least this way the efficacy of the medicine will not be lost.
Even if Lumi resists, he can extend his confinement in various ways.
Don't you want to go see that Ravenclaw?
When will we finish dealing with the basilisk with him, and when will we go again.
Anyway, it's not him who is anxious. There will always be a little badger who can't hold back and takes it out on his own.
Faced with the material of the Millennium Basilisk, Snape, as a potions master, could put aside his professor's dignity.
After all, there is probably no other material like this in the entire magic world.
Dumbledore on the side was smiling. He could guess some of Snape's thoughts, but he didn't expect that he would use the excuse of confinement.
He didn't stop him, he also wanted to take this opportunity to see Lumi's reaction.
After hearing Snape's words, Lumi knew that he would not be able to see Luna today.
"Got it, Professor Snape."
Lumi grimaced, feeling a sense of grievance welling up in his heart.
[Damn Lockhart! Even though you are gone, you still want to harm me. 】
【I hope you never come out in this life! 】
Indeed, Snape was right.
After Lockhart was caught, Lumi immediately started preparing for the party. During that time, with Sprout's approval note and the principal's support, no professor asked him to perform the confinement task.
As soon as the incident about the heir of Slytherin came out, everyone in the castle was in panic, including the professors. They all ignored that Hufflepuff still had a little badger that was to be confined.
Ever since Lumi's magic power broke out yesterday, the four deans knew about Lumi at noon.
But because Lumi was blind, everyone was too embarrassed to ask Lumi to accept punishment.
Their confinement is nothing more than taking care of herbs, copying books, playing with materials and copying school rules.
For a blind child, such punishment is simply too inhumane.
Things should have ended like this. If you don't mention it, I won't mention it. After this semester is over, Lumi's confinement will be in effect. This year will also be a good year.
It's a pity that Lumi didn't expect that the basilisk would be so attractive to Snape, and he also forgot that he was still carrying the punishment of confinement.
When Harry and the others saw Lumi, they could clearly see the sadness on Lumi's face.
Even if you can't see the eyes, the mouth is so pouted that it makes you feel aggrieved.
The three of them wanted to ask what happened. Why did Lumi, who was cold and taciturn before, act like a child now?
What? He was originally a child?
He is only twelve years old?
That's fine.
"Okay kids, let's go back first."
Dumbledore was so satisfied with Lumi's reaction that he was in such a good mood that he could eat ten lemon snow candies in a row.
Dumbledore's bird was so powerful that it grabbed Harry and the others and flew out.
Draco and Hermione hugged Harry's legs tightly, fearing that they would fall off accidentally.
Dumbledore disappeared with a whoosh.
Only Lumi and Snape were left in place.
"catch me."
Snape was in a good mood and decided to fly out with Lumi.
He stretched out his hand, waiting for Lumi to grab it.
However, due to Lumi's bad mood, the effect of magic perception was unstable. The human-shaped blank in front of him wandered around from time to time, and he missed it several times.
Finally, Snape lost his patience, picked up Lumi by the back collar, grabbed him like a kitten and flew out.
Lumi, who was forcibly taken away, could no longer care about his mood at this time. The feeling of powerlessness in the air made him feel very vigilant.
The picture of magic perception immediately became much clearer.
When he returned to the women's bathroom, Lumi's sense of magic became clearer.
The rough pathfinding field of vision has not changed, but some blank spaces with magical power can now be seen by Lumi.
The originally invisible portraits and ghosts appeared in Lumi's field of vision again at this moment.
Before Lumi could figure out the current situation, Snape took him away.
Fortunately, Lumi was not very tall. Otherwise, with Snape's posture, Lumi's feet would have definitely fought to the death with the ground.
Finally, after experiencing the attention of ghosts and portraits, Snape's hands finally let go in front of the Potions Office.
Entering the office, before Lumi could catch his breath, Snape revealed the contents of the confinement.
"Take care of those poisonous snakes."
At this time, Snape didn't want to talk nonsense at all. All he could think about now was the basilisk.
"professor..."
Lumi looked at the half-barrel of snakes that were still moving. The venom of each snake was very strong.
"Won't?"
Just waiting for Lumi's words.
Snape took a knife and handled a venomous snake in front of Lumi.
His movements were smooth and fluid, just like magic. The little poisonous snake that was jumping around a moment ago turned into a pile of potion ingredients in the blink of an eye.
From Lumi's perspective, Snape's hand speed was extremely fast. Even with magic perception, he could only remember the process and could not see the details at all.
"Uh, Professor, I'm sorry, could you please slow down a little?"
Seeing Snape's operation, Lumi was also thinking about how to deal with the basilisk in the bag.
After seeing the professor's operation, he wished he could just leave the basilisk to him.
But he had told the professor before that the basilisk had turned into ashes. If he took it out now, wouldn't he have lied to the professor?
What if the lockdown is extended by then?
Therefore, the basilisk must not be taken out! Especially Snape, he must not let him know that the basilisk is in his hands.
Determined, Lumi focused all his attention on Snape's hands, hoping to see all his movements.
Snape seemed calm and calm, but his heart was scratching his head and he wanted to go through all the pockets on Lumi's body.
As long as this kid can hand over the basilisk, the confinement will end.
