HP: Let professors walk towards the light

Professor Sputlow's mandrake is slowly maturing, which means that a potion to cure petrification will soon be developed. At least Filch will definitely be happy to see it.

"Tallos, come here."

Snape found Hermalena in the Great Hall and called her to the Potions Office.

He opened the door and Lucius was waiting inside.

"I never knew that my small office could be used as a reception room. So, do you want me, the owner, to step aside?"

Lucius smiled faintly.

"It's okay. It's okay if the professor wants to listen," said Lena.

"Well, thank our powerful Hermalena for leaving a useless old professor like me here to listen to her business secrets." Snape sat at his desk with his hands crossed on the table, looking at the two of them leisurely.

"Last time I asked Draco to tell you..." Lucius spoke first. He took out a small green velvet gift box, opened it, and there was a necklace inside.

Lena picked up the necklace and took a look. It was a simple crystal pendant, but the back of the crystal was engraved with intricate and detailed images. The whole necklace exuded a powerful magical power - it was a magical device.

Reina smiled and said, "You've worked really hard to find a magic tool of this quality."

She put it on her neck, took off the black earrings she was wearing, put them back in the box, and said, "Find a safe place to destroy it, and be careful not to be affected by it."

"I know." Lucius took it back. He looked Reina up and down and asked, "Are you okay lately?"

"You arrived just in time, thank you very much."

"What is that?" Snape asked slowly.

"It took me a lot of effort to create this alchemical ornament engraved with the Defense Against the Dark Arts fusion spell." Lucius leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and fumbled with the cane.

"Where's the earring?"

"It can absorb and store all black magic. The downside is that it is not only a one-time limited product, but it must not be damaged during use, otherwise the stored black magic will all leak out and act on the wearer."

Reina answered casually.

"What kind of dangerous things are you doing alone that involve dark magic? Is there anything that you can't tell your professor to solve?" Snape was a little displeased.

"It's related to that secret room. I need the venom of the basilisk. But don't worry, professor. I know what I'm doing." Reina said.

"Yes, yes, you are more sensible than Dumbledore. Go ahead, go ahead. I can't control you." Snape said

"Ah, by the way, Dumbledore's resignation letter is being prepared, just waiting for your signal." Lucius added fuel to the fire with a sly grin.

"Wow, you are worthy of being the famous young lady of Talros. You are so capable that you can even order the board of directors to expel Dumbledore. I am enlightened again. It is not easy to gain experience at such an old age. Please help me to be promoted someday." Snape frowned and stared at Rena.

Lena held her forehead in her hand speechlessly. As expected of Malfoy, he was so quick when selling people.

"It's just temporary. Harry wouldn't go without a sense of crisis," she explained.

"She also asked me to take Hagrid away," Lucius added.

"Then just take me with you, right now," said Snape.

"He's just a planning professor. We'll have to ask the professor to deal with Lockhart when the time comes." Reina said helplessly.

"You can ask Lucius to take him away now, and then you won't have to ask me for help."

"Oh no……"

"Okay, Severus, stop teasing her." Lucius indicated that his goal had been achieved and he could stop.

"Lucius, you are quite capable—"

"Hey!"

……

"Draco... remember what you promised me." Lucius said to Lena.

"Don't worry, we have sworn a fidelity spell, so we will certainly keep our word. Besides, I am Draco's best friend."

Hearing the affirmative answer again, Lucius teleported away from the fireplace in Snape's office with confidence.

"What you promised Lucius was related to Draco? No wonder he was so obedient to help you. It's ridiculous."

Snape snorted.

"Partnerships that can benefit each other last the longest." Rena looked at Snape, "I think it's time for me to leave. Sorry to bother you, Professor Snape." She bowed to Snape and left the office.

At that moment, Snape found that the Hermalena in front of him and the one in his dream overlapped perfectly, especially the way she bowed to him and turned away. Snape always felt that she was familiar...

?

Slytherin common room.

"Reina--Hermalena--"

"If there's nothing wrong with your eyes, I think you should be able to see me in front of you, Draco." Reina slowly put down the book.

"Hey, you're blocking it." Draco walked over to Lena with a piece of paper and found a sofa to lie down on.

"You will be taking elective courses in the third grade next school year. What did you choose?"

"Ancient Runes and the Care of Magical Creatures."

In fact, she had already studied those six courses several times, so it would be easier for her to study less.

"You're only going to choose two subjects?" Draco was a little surprised.

"I might choose alchemy in the future, but that can only be learned in the sixth grade."

"So you only took two electives from third to sixth year. I even thought you would choose all of them," said Draco.

"I don't think the others are very useful. If I could, I wouldn't want to take any elective courses."

"Haha, it turns out you don't like studying so much." Draco sat up with a smile.

"That's it for now."

"My father let me choose by myself and said he would not interfere with elective courses, but my grades in required courses must be maintained and exceed that of the know-it-all." Draco rubbed his head.

"How about I choose the same thing as you. Ancient Runes and Care of Magical Creatures. These two classes don't seem to be as important as the other classes. Do you think this will allow us to see dragons?"

Draco was ticking the elective application form, pointing to the words "Care of Magical Creatures".

"I think that's better off."

"Your grades should be better than mine, so why did you only rank fourth last time?" Draco asked tentatively.

"Everyone will remember the top student in the grade, and many people will remember the top student in each college, but few people will remember the top student in the fourth grade and the second student in the college." Lena looked at the book.

"I don't understand, but my father just wants me to be number one. That know-it-all is so annoying." Draco said impatiently.

"If you want tutoring, I can teach you reluctantly. I can't guarantee anything else, but at least I understand most of the content in class and the exam." Reina closed the book.

"Really? Then you give me tutoring. I want to be number one this school year."

"Master, you can't get first place just by talking about it."

"That's what you said."

"I only said I would help you, not protect you."
