Hogwarts: I can load entries infinitely!
Chapter 159
"Okay, I brought you here because I have something to tell you, and you should also have many questions to ask, right?"
Snape put down the wine bottle in his hand and looked at Devereux coldly.
"Of course! Professor!"
Devereux immediately sat up straight, looking serious.
"I want to know, did the principal ask you to stop and treat Percy? How does he plan to solve Percy's use of dark magic?"
Snape walked towards the podium, stopped, turned to stare at Devereaux, his voice was calm but with a hint of sarcasm:
"It's true that Dumbledore asked me to do these things, but there is a more important task - to watch you. After all, you almost blew up Hogwarts last time."
The corners of Devereux's mouth twitched slightly, and he laughed twice, silently complaining in his heart: "The matter is urgent, as for remembering it until now?"
Snape continued:
"Also, I'm not here to treat Percy, because I don't have that ability. What the principal means-"
He raised his hand and pointed directly at Devereaux:
"Let you cure him."
Devereux's eyes suddenly widened, he waved his hands repeatedly, and said in an awkward tone:
"Well, Professor, although I am indeed a genius, this kind of curse-like magical damage is really a blind spot in my knowledge..."
Snape raised an eyebrow.
"You have actually been studying this for a long time."
Devereux was stunned and frowned, not quite understanding what Snape meant. Snape summoned a chair, sat down, and continued:
"You should know Anubis, right?"
Devereux nodded, not surprised that Snape mentioned Anubis.
"Anubis is a god in Egyptian mythology with a wolf head and human body. He is mainly responsible for death and rebirth. Many legends say that if you are protected by Anubis, you will be immortal. For example, mummification was born out of this belief, and Purple Xi’s black magic most likely comes from here.”
Snape nodded and said.
"Yes, the magic he used is a reversal of the magic used in ancient Egypt when making mummies. Therefore, it can cause the attacker to decay and age quickly. The same thing happened when the magic shield was easily broken in the previous duel. principle."
But then Snape changed the subject.
"But the point is not that, but the symptoms on him. Do you think that those characteristics on Percy are very similar to lycanthropy?"
Devereaux's pupils shrank suddenly, he vaguely realized something, and his voice trembled slightly:
"You mean...his curse is related to lycanthropy?!"
Snape nodded slightly, with determination in his tone:
"That's right. Original wolfsbane, the original form of lycanthropy. This is why we have been helpless against lycanthropy for so many years. The only thing we can do is try to help werewolves stay sane in the lycanthropic state, but we can't stop it. The tendency to turn into a wolf. Because this is not a disease at all, but an extremely powerful curse."
This shocking news left Devereaux stunned for a moment. He digested it for a while before slowly speaking:
"So, lycanthropy is actually a curse? But professor, how do you know this?"
With a faint smile on his lips, Snape took out a thick book from the podium and placed it in front of Devereux.
There is a picture of Anubis printed on the cover of the book - it is the book that Percy picked up before.
"Fletch just found it from Weasley's dormitory. Thank you to our dear American friends for bringing us new knowledge."
Devereux quickly opened the book, scanning it with his eyes. At the same time, Snape turned around and sat back in his chair leisurely, looking up at Devereux.
He was about to say something taunting, but saw that Devereux had closed the book, nodded slightly, and murmured to himself:
"Well, you're right, it's truly a curse."
Snape raised his eyebrows, but before he could ask, Devereaux had already continued:
"But... like, very similar! But it is not the same thing as lycanthropy. Percy's curse and lycanthropy have similar symptoms. They are both the result of the curse, but their sources are different."
He raised his head, his eyes flickering, as if he suddenly caught some inspiration:
"My guess is that this curse may have inspired some evil dark wizard. He modified it and made it contagious, thus creating lycanthropy. But Percy's curse does not have this property, so in theory , it is not impossible to find its counter-spell for targeted treatment. However..."
Devereaux frowned, lost in thought.
Snape's eyes gradually became complicated. He stared at Devereaux with a hint of surprise in his tone:
"You...have finished reading?"
Devereux nodded slightly, but his attention had obviously turned to deeper thinking. He muttered to himself, seemingly not noticing Snape's expression at all:
"For a curse with such a strong effect, the counter-curse's magic power demand must be extremely huge. But if it acts directly on the human body, I'm afraid the body cannot withstand such an impact. Hiss... what should we do?"
Snape turned and glanced at the wall clock - less than ten seconds had passed.
"How did he do it?" Snape secretly clicked his tongue. He had always known that Devereaux was a genius, but even he found this speed incredible.
To be honest, after knowing that lycanthropy is not a disease but a curse.
Devereux's thoughts suddenly became clear.
"Since it is a curse, it is essentially a spell. The most direct solution is to find the corresponding counter-spell. I am a [magic wizard], and it is easy to find the counter-spell after spending some time. But the problem is that finding the counter-spell is only the first step. How to make it work safely and effectively on the patient is a bigger problem. Judging from the stubbornness of lycanthropy, the counter-spell must require very powerful magic, and the elimination process must be long. Can the patient's body withstand it?"
Deverot pinched his chin and muttered to himself:
"It is too dangerous to use the counter-spell directly. If the human body cannot support it, then other methods must be considered... Maybe do it step by step? Or do we need a magic buffer device?"
Snape on the side wanted to remind him impatiently, but after listening to Deverot's analysis, he suddenly seemed to remember something.
"Speaking of curses..." Snape paused slightly, and a glimmer of memory appeared in his eyes. "For a period of time, I was often attacked by various curses. Later, I learned a spell that can temporarily reduce the impact of the curse."
Deverot raised his head suddenly, his eyes shining like searchlights.
"What spell?"
But to Deveraux's surprise, Snape seemed a little hesitant in the face of this question. His usual cold expression that was not afraid of any question was now a little hesitant.
"Professor?" Deveraux frowned, keenly capturing the subtle change in Snape's attitude.
Deveraux almost jumped up from his chair and ran to Snape in a few steps, his eyes full of eagerness and expectation.
"Professor, please tell me! No matter what spell it is, I will keep it a secret for you!"
