Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

"Is it because there is not enough time?"

"Continuing refining will only deteriorate the active ingredients in it. This is already a finished product!" Snape hated being questioned.

"Then why is it this color?" Lockhart asked, "Does it mean that part of our thinking is correct?"

"Well, I suddenly had an idea. Maybe we thought the opposite from the beginning. Unicorn blood that does not contain the power of the curse does not exist. There is only a substance in the body of a pregnant female unicorn that can invalidate the curse. !" Snape said, "As for the reason——"

"Yes, that must be the case!" Hermione also became excited. "It must be because the unicorn fetus cannot resist the curse in the mother's blood before it matures, so pregnant female unicorns secrete something , to ensure that the newborn unicorn will not suffer from any problems!"

"It sounds much more reliable than 'unicorn blood without curse'." Lockhart nodded, "Then why is this magic stone still like this? Is it because there is not enough blood? I'll go get that unicorn Tie them here and take as much as you want, you can even keep them and draw blood slowly!"

"Don't-" Hermione was a little anxious.

"It's useless, we can't figure out what the ingredients are at work now..." Snape shook his head, "There should be two options, one is to remove the ingredients that cause the curse, and the other is to remove the ingredients that are responsible for the curse. Extract the ingredients that can suppress the curse..."

"Can't you just concentrate the blood and use it?" Lockhart asked.

"Stupid..." Snape said unceremoniously, "You can't figure out the ingredients that work. When you concentrate, you will bring both ingredients into the concentrated product. Whether it can be used to make a magic stone or not, it will definitely be possible." With a curse.”

"Oh...yeah, I'm so excited," Lockhart said. "Then you should quickly identify the active ingredients and then purify them!"

"You speak lightly. Do you know how much experimentation is required to determine the active ingredients in a substance? Do you think the blood of a unicorn is a mixture of water, the component of the curse, and the substance that inhibits the curse? "Snape chattered, "Do you know how long it took Dumbledore and Flamel to determine the dozen uses of dragon blood and their corresponding active ingredients? Do you know how many wizards participated in the experiment, and how many dragons were killed? Well. Fortunately, the blood of a dragon is enough for many tests, otherwise there might not be many dragons left in the world——"

"You don't have to say so much, just tell me how long it will take you to finish." Lockhart interrupted Snape's thoughts, rubbed Hermione's shoulders a few more times, and said with a playful smile. "If you work harder."

"Hmph... My answer is that it can't be completed. In this case, I can't ask those well-known alchemists for help. The Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic is hardly functioning. I can't hunt unicorns wantonly, and I can't care less. Those idiots arranged by the Dark Lord are conducting experiments day and night." Snape put the Sorcerer's Stone on the table and tapped it. "It is impossible to conduct such a complex research under such harsh conditions. If you insist on it, it will take at least several years. And I am sure. Nicolas Flamel has not figured out what this substance is. What, otherwise he wouldn't have destroyed the method of making the Philosopher's Stone, because the discovery of this substance is already a huge achievement no less than the Philosopher's Stone..."

"In that time, the war will be over!" Hermione curled her lips, "There is another idea, will this substance in the body of a pregnant unicorn be distributed differently as the fetus grows, or even in different parts - -For example, a certain period of the fetus is the most important stage of development. At this time, the mother's body secretes the most ingredients that suppress the curse. It can perfectly suppress the curse..."

"Then you need to raise a unicorn, get her pregnant, and then draw blood tests at each stage—"

"Listen to me, there is still a possibility. We just took the blood from the unicorn's body, but maybe as the blood vessels get closer to the fetus in the body, the ingredients that inhibit the curse will increase..." Lockhart He and Snape are friends and comrades-in-arms,

As Lockhart's wife, Hermione seemed to have gradually forgotten that Snape was once her most hated professor, and began to behave naturally. "There is a saying in the Muggle world that the umbilical cord blood of babies has special functions. Maybe the umbilical cord blood of unicorn babies will also have special features - for example, the curse will be completely suppressed..."

Snape's mouth opened slightly. Although it was still a guess, he had also heard about the special features of cord blood, and his intuition told him that Hermione's guess was getting closer to the truth.

"Then I still have to tie up the unicorn, and then... dig out the fetus?"

"No! Can't you wait until she is born..." Hermione turned her head and grabbed Lockhart's hand, looking at him with pleading eyes. She was as smart as she had discovered that her words had been particularly effective in the past two days.

"Okay, it's up to you." Lockhart pinched Hermione's little face, "But I have to go back and negotiate with the centaurs first to ensure that I can get the umbilical blood of the unicorn when it gives birth. "

"What are you going to do, let them notify you to get blood when the unicorn is about to give birth?" Snape glanced at him and asked, "Then you are really powerful."

"Hmph, as long as you make an offer that's hard to refuse, there's nothing in the world that can't be done." Lockhart smiled slightly arrogantly, "I'll go now, otherwise the centaurs will hide the unicorn. Trouble."

"What do you want to do, Gilderoy..." Hermione asked uneasily, "Don't hurt them."

"As long as they don't know what to do, why should I make things difficult for them?" Lockhart gently brushed her hair, "You stay here for a while and take a look around. I'll be back soon. Severus, don't leave. Bar."

"Not leaving."

"Yeah." Hermione nodded.

Lockhart took the Invisibility Cloak and left Snape's office. Theoretically speaking, after the control of magic reaches a certain level, the wizard can use the Disillusionment Curse to have the same effect as the Invisibility Cloak, but no matter how strong the Disillusionment Curse is, They can all be punched out by the human form, and the role of the invisibility cloak can never be replaced.

After leaving the castle for a while, I felt that there was no one around, so I simply activated my magic power and turned into a black light and shot toward the Forbidden Forest. Although it looked like a villain and consumed a lot of magic power, it did fly very fast.

According to the memory, he quickly flew to the place where he attacked the unicorn before. In mid-air, he saw a bunch of centaurs gathering together, seeming to be discussing something. The unicorn should have been sent back to the lair.

This place is already far away from Hogwarts. He triggered the magic power between heaven and earth within a thousand meters around him, and even the air was moved by him. The wind and clouds changed color, carrying a huge aura, and he landed directly next to the pile of centaurs. Ten meters away. With such an arrogant way of appearing, even a Muggle should have noticed that a powerful wizard was present, let alone the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest. All the centaurs nervously raised their bows and pointed them at him. .

"Stranger, were you the one who attacked the unicorn couple?" A centaur led by him walked out from among his companions and asked Lockhart loudly, "We have already reduced the scope of our activities in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, why are we still suffering? Aren't you afraid of forcing us to rebel against each other?"
