Unbehaved Hufflepuff

Soon, Lumi finished configuring the potion, leaving only the final mandrake and the flesh of the basilisk.

However, the potion still has to simmer for a while, and the medicinal materials need to be boiled into a decoction, after which the auxiliary ingredients can be added.

So Lumi placed the crucible in the room and waited for it to slowly take shape.

After leaving the eighth floor, Lumi was caught thinking about how to get to the Forbidden Forest.

Under the perception of magic power, Snape walked towards Lumi as quickly as a bat.

Without even explaining, Snape took Lumi by the back of his collar and took him to the potions office.

He pointed to the crucible aside and said in a serious voice: "The prescription is wrong."

Hearing this, Lumi was stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong? The prescription? But the only change on it is part of the body tissue of the practitioner."

Lumi was puzzled by this.

"It seems that you know the formula of Mandela's recovery potion very well."

Lifting Lumi, he led him to the crucible, pointed at one of them, and said seriously: "You are very interested in the prescription of Mandela Recovery Potion, and you even stood at the door of my office for this reason. I know Your eyes can see through the door, and it doesn’t matter.”

"But you have to answer me truthfully, have you brewed the potion?"

Snape turned around and grabbed Lumi's shoulders with great force, almost yelling and asked: "Have you put your body tissues into that damn potion?"

"It's cooked."

Lumi was a little scared when he saw Snape like this for the first time.

This answer made Snape's face stiffen, and he fell to the ground as if his bones had been removed, staring at the ground blankly.

"I haven't put it in yet...because the medicine hasn't been finished yet..."

Seeing Snape like this, Lumi was frightened, fearing that something was wrong with the professor and that he would only find out after he spilled the beans.

Snape was obviously relieved after hearing Lumi's answer, and his tense body seemed to relax all of a sudden.

He supported the table, stood up, and looked at Lumi with a hint of joy in his eyes.

Pointing to the crucible, there was a hint of joy in his voice: "As you can see, my judgment was wrong. I didn't put my hair in until this morning."

"It's all fine in the beginning, no different from normal medicine."

"Until I cast the Petrification Charm on a spider."

Snape patted Lumi on the shoulder, and there was a slight softness in his voice: "As the petrification curse was issued, I felt like I was a spider, and my whole body was extremely stiff, as if my soul had been exchanged."

"That's when I realized I was cursed, and this curse was dangerous."

"Luckily Dumbledore arrived in time and helped me break the curse."

"I don't know why just a hair has such an effect. Is it because I put it in at the wrong time, or because this is a unique feature of the medicine. But this is the danger of potions. No matter which link is wrong, the brewing No potion will be perfect."

"I'm glad you didn't have time to put your hair in."

Snape, who had regained consciousness, warned Lumi sternly.

The prescription is wrong, the added material will curse people, and the triggering conditions are very harsh.

If a wizard added body tissue when refining Mandela Restoration Potion, he would not have any problems at that time or in the future.

But as long as he used the petrification spell, the curse would take shape. Perhaps this is why no one found out that the prescription was wrong for so long.

Those who made mistakes may have died when the curse took effect. What's more, although the current prescription is somewhat less effective, the general effect is still guaranteed.

Ever since he discovered that the problem was caused by the medicine, Snape was really afraid that Lumi would be cursed because of his guidance.

If he hadn't been coveting the basilisk, he wouldn't have used ancient medicinal prescriptions as bait without verification.

This time he was lucky enough to be saved by Dumbledore. Where was Lumi?

He would not forgive a student who died at his hands.

Lumi was a little scared when he heard this.

Snape, the master of potions, was cursed, and Dumbledore was the one who saved him.

This is definitely a trap set by Dumbledore.

What is his purpose?

Lumi has already targeted Dumbledore as the suspect and made his deductions with him as the center of the incident.

[The prescription was given by Professor Snape. The exact source is unknown. It is assumed that it was Dumbledore. 】

[What does he want to do to me through the professor’s thoughts? Do you want me to bear another curse? 】

[I'm blind, but he still doesn't want to let go of the curse on me? 】

[Or is he afraid that I will break the curse and threaten him? 】

[No, no, he is afraid of my dragon-turned-state. He will definitely send someone to keep an eye on me during the holidays, most likely Professor Snape. He can use the guise of learning potions to monitor my every move. As long as my mood is slightly wrong, he will take action immediately. 】

Thinking of this, Lumi turned his attention to Snape.

The joy on his face was still there, and it didn't look too big...

[Professor Snape... is the master of Occlumency, and acting is closely related to Occlumency. 】

Lumi was startled and cautiously took a step back.

He now has a very bold idea, but this place gives him a very uneasy feeling.

The vigilance level is immediately maxed out.

"Then Professor, I'm going to get rid of the potion now."

"Go."

Snape looked tired, waved his hands and stopped talking.

Lumi breathed a sigh of relief after exiting the office and quickly returned to the room on the eighth floor. Remembering the curse Snape said, Lumi put out the fire and poured out the medicine.

Even so, Lumi was still worried.

What if Dumbledore put his own blood in during this time?

He personally admitted that he had his own blood on his hands, and it was impossible to collect just one drop of blood.

So what if you cast the Petrification Curse and the curse is triggered?

Lumi was frightened at the thought of the feeling Snape had described.

This was the first time he was so afraid of someone.

Dumbledore!

According to previous thoughts, Dumbledore told Lumi about the horror of potions and the danger of being cursed through Snape's mouth.

With Lumi's character, this statement is unlikely to be ignored by him, and it will definitely become a thorn in his heart.

Lumi was not sure whether Dumbledore put his own body tissue into the potion after he went to Snape's office.

Is there a curse on the unformed decoction?

But what if Dumbledore made his own potion and put his own blood in it?

Lumi, who was extremely wary, did not dare to verify.

It is clear that all questions can be answered with just one cast of the Petrification Spell.

But Lumi didn't dare to gamble.

The brilliance of Dumbledore's method lies in his perfect use of Lumi's psychology.

He didn't care if Lumi knew that he was the mastermind, but in this matter, Lumi seemed to have been given a hint.

Once Lumi's mood changes significantly, he will have an idea in his mind.

[The Curse of Mandela Restoration Potion. 】

【Dragon's Curse. 】

The two curses were like needles piercing Lumi's heart, as if he were wearing shackles.
