Chapter 268 External Progress
"Oh - Severus, this Veritaserum you brewed - it's really powerful."
The sound of Dumbledore suffering from a headache rang out beside the bed in the medical wing. He looked dusty and exhausted.
After learning that his child was in trouble, he rushed back to school at almost flying speed and postponed an investigation far away in Austria.
"Even if it's a fake truth serum, it shouldn't make the person who takes it unconscious. That's not very safe—"
Hearing this, Snape's face became long, with a familiar sarcasm in his expression.
Faced with complaints from his boss and student's parents, he chose to divert his anger and began to insult Umbridge:
"No, I don't want to waste my precious herbs on that stupid fool."
"Given her ignorance of potions and her brain which is even worse than that of a troll, I even doubt if she would be stupid enough to feed a whole bottle of Veritaserum to a student."
He roughly fed Jane several bottles of hangover medicine and revealed the secret of the truth serum he provided to Umbridge:
"Veritaserum is colorless, odorless, and has a thick texture, but a few drops of thickener diluted in water can achieve the same appearance."
Dumbledore was surprised for a second, but the doubts in his heart were not resolved. He spoke hesitantly:
"Severus, though, are you sure you got her the right bottle?"
He waved his hands in front of his nose twice, feeling the strange smell in the air:
"I think I'm not mistaken... Do you smell any alcohol?"
Snape sneered and taunted Umbridge with all his might:
"Of course it was the Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic, who was visiting our school and was committed to curriculum reform, who wanted to increase the power of some truth serums."
"I told her that adding a moderate amount of alcohol would make the potion take effect faster, but apparently her language skills were so limited that she didn't understand the meaning of the word 'moderate amount'. I guess she added a lot of mixed alcohol."
Dumbledore suddenly recalled that when Jane Yu first entered school, she fell into a deep sleep after drinking a small bottle of nettle wine.
He carefully observed her flushed face and her unconscious appearance, and could not help but press his hand to his forehead.
This kid—she was actually drunk!
......
Jian Yu felt a little dazed after waking up from a sweet sleep.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the familiar ceiling and decoration of the medical wing.
Of course, there is also the familiar hooked nose on the left side of the bed...Professor Snape and the familiar white beard on the right side of the bed...Principal Dumbledore.
This situation made her almost feel like she had traveled back to the days when she first entered first grade.
"May I ask what year it is now?" she asked politely, half-raising herself.
But Snape and Dumbledore looked at each other, and both of them looked as if they had eaten strange beans with a booger taste.
"It seems that you are still not sober." Dumbledore said, "Severus, perhaps we need more hangover medicine--"
After being forced to drink another cup of extremely unpalatable potion, Jian Yu vomited for a long time beside the bed.
This finally cleared her mind.
Realizing that she was not drugged by the truth serum at all and was just drunk, she wished she could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it!
She used to be able to drink two kilograms of liquor... but that's gone forever!
How come the soul returned to the body and turned into a cup?
He got drunk with a glass of alcoholic beverage, talked drunkenly in front of Umbridge, and embarrassed himself in front of Dumbledore, Snape and Harry...
Jian Yu suddenly felt that it would be better for him to pretend to be unconscious.
But Dumbledore obviously didn't want her to continue sleeping. He pulled her up and gave her a big hug:
"Oh, Jade, I'm so sorry - I didn't realize that after just one day away from school - she would want to make a move on you -"
Before Jian Yu could answer, Snape, with his arms crossed over his chest, snorted coldly.
"Perhaps the headmaster doesn't know that our brave and fearless Miss Jane spoke nonsense and swore in front of the new professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Perhaps you should pay more attention to the physical and mental health of the Senior Deputy Minister to prevent her from making some extremely unwise moves -"
For a moment, Jian Yu couldn't tell whether he was scolding her or Umbridge, but she felt that maybe he was scolding both of them.
"Oh, I think as a senior deputy minister, Professor Umbridge's psychological endurance and ability to tolerate students should be improved." Dumbledore blinked, "How can the drunken words of a drunk child be taken seriously?"
Jane Yu frowned. She strongly suspected that Umbridge not only took it seriously, but also planned to exaggerate and practice it herself.
She could already imagine the scene of a group of students running exercises around the Black Lake!
Dumbledore put another two-sided mirror sent by the Flamels into Jane's hands:
"Nico and Perenelle want you to contact them directly. I heard they have encountered some...unsolvable technical bottlenecks?"
After successfully delivering the express, he was about to leave when Jian Yu stopped him.
"Wait." She asked curiously, "Grindelwald... have you found him?"
To be honest, she was really curious about what the scene would be like when the old lovers reunited after half a century.
Is it a fight, a raging fire, or just speechless response?
"No." In response to her question, Dumbledore sighed, "The symbol of the Deathly Hallows appeared in many countries... but he is good at covering his tracks. Whenever we arrived, he had already left."
"Okay." Jian Yu, whose desire to gossip disappeared instantly, shrugged in disappointment, "What about Voldemort?"
"No." Dumbledore sighed even louder. It was obvious that he was exhausted from running back and forth. He couldn't help but sigh that he was old and useless. "He was also good at hiding. He summoned the Death Eaters and obtained flesh and blood from them. Do you remember the formula of his resurrection potion? He tried to regain those three things to get rid of the body of the baby."
Snape, who was standing by, trembled unconsciously. His face, which had been pale and bloodless at the beginning of the school year, had now returned to its former sallow color.
Jian Yu nodded.
"Although we cannot control the flesh of the servants, we already have control over our father's bones; as for the blood of our enemies...we strictly protect Harry and try our best to prevent Voldemort from having the opportunity to obtain his blood again."
Jian Yu raised his eyebrows in shock and looked at him as if he had seen a ghost.
So Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix dug up the grave of Voldemort's father?
Did you also dig out the bones inside and take them away?
It's so tragic that this person can't rest in peace even after his death.
Digging up ancestral graves is a serious matter that will ruin the other person's luck!
For a moment she couldn't tell who was the Dark Lord between Dumbledore and Voldemort.
Of course, Snape also looked as if he had eaten a fly, and his face looked even more pale.
"Ahem... We have to make do with this as a last resort... To be on the safe side, considering his bloodline, we still have the bones of his grandparents, grandfather, and uncle... uh... maybe ashes... Don't worry, we will bury them back when everything is over."
White-Cut Black Dumbledore coughed twice awkwardly and chose to run away directly:
"Okay, that's it. I have to go to Austria again. I guess they can't wait any longer."
He avoided the two people's troll-like looks and left the medical wing at the speed of light, his pace was much faster than usual.
