242 Blood Curse, Werewolf, Heir

242 Blood Curse, Werewolf, Heir

"Are you sure it's okay to do this? That it won't cause Regulus trouble?"

After walking to the underground level of the castle, Snape whispered to Karan.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Karan continued to maintain Regulus's usual expression: "The relationship between the two brothers has never been good anyway."

Snape nodded silently. They had already walked to the corridor leading to the Slytherin common room. They could no longer whisper as before, otherwise Callan would be exposed easily.

After passing through the dark corridor, the two finally came to an empty, wet stone wall.

Snape glanced at Callan.

Karan nodded silently.

"Ambition," Snape said.

A stone door hidden in the stone wall slowly opened, and Snape walked in, followed closely by Callan.

Slytherin's common room is a long, narrow basement with walls and ceilings made of rough stone. Round, glowing green lights are hung from the ceiling by chains.In front of them, a fire crackled under an intricately carved mantelpiece, reflecting the figures of several Slytherins seated on carved chairs around it.

It's the weekend and most of the upperclassmen have gone to Hogsmeade.But according to Snape, since Lucius disappeared, Narcissa was no longer in the mood to play and would not leave the castle again.

That's why Karan chose to try his luck today.

The two sat on two empty chairs away from the fire.

Karan stared out the window with interest. The Slytherin common room was connected to the Black Lake, and he could clearly see the scene at the bottom of the lake.

Just now, Karan saw a giant squid swimming slowly from a distance.

After Snape slowly calmed down the anxiety in his heart, his eyes gradually became a little complicated.

"I didn't expect that I actually did such a thing." He whispered: "I brought a Hufflepuff to the Slytherin common room. If other students knew about this, they would definitely be chopped up alive. mine."

Karan glanced at him.

"What you really regret is not bringing Lily with you, right?"

Snape suddenly seemed to be choked.

At this time, a first-year freshman walked out of the passage leading to the Slytherin girls' dormitory. She had long black hair. After seeing Karan, she said hello to him from a distance, but she didn't Come over here.

"That's Lisa Greengrass." Snape reminded in a low voice: "The Greengrass family is also one of the 28 holy families, and she, like Regulus, is a pure-blood supremacist."

Karan looked at Lisa's back and nodded silently.

He remembered that there was a blood curse in the Greengrass family, and it would only be passed on to women.The future wife of Draco Malfoy became increasingly weak after giving birth to his son, Scorpius Malfoy, due to the blood curse, and eventually died unfortunately.

But there is more than just one blood curse. For example, one of Voldemort's future Horcruxes, Nagini, was subjected to another blood curse, which would gradually turn her into a real snake instead of a human being.

In fact, Callan even felt that the werewolf infection was somewhat like a blood curse.

After being bitten by a werewolf, he will painfully turn into a werewolf on the night of the full moon, every month.

While Karan was thinking silently, many people were already walking back and forth in the common room, which finally allowed Karan to meet Snape's four roommates.

Evan Rozier, Mulcerbaugh, Avery, and Wilkes.

Their treatment of Snape wasn't exactly warm, but it wasn't that bad either.

The difference in blood makes it difficult for these people to regard Snape as a true friend.He is just a half-blood, and these four people are all noble pure-bloods.

And Karan also knew that these four people were all future second-generation Death Eaters.

It is not difficult to understand why the original Snape would defend these people in front of Lily.But when he was bullied, no one was willing to help.

Because he longed to join them.

But they were more indifferent to him.

"It's really hard for you." Karan suddenly whispered.

Snape seemed to understand, but he didn't complain.

His life now is much better than before.

This freed him from the need to deliberately curry favor with anyone and gave him more options.

But some ideas remain unchanged after all.

"I'm a Slytherin," he said.

Judging from the look on his face, he at least never regretted his academy.

Karan just chuckled and said nothing more.

Time passed slowly.

The effects of Polyjuice Potion don't last long, but Callan was specifically looking for the period before dinner.

After another while, Narcissa Black finally appeared.

Her face still looked a little haggard, and she seemed to be still worried about Lucius, which also made her whole temperament look a little gloomy.

But Karan stood up and walked towards her immediately.

After hesitating for a short while, Snape followed Kahlan.

Narcissa noticed the two of them.

Although she was not familiar with Snape, and she hated her cousin Sirius Black who was sorted into Gryffindor.

But her impression of Regulus was naturally much better, especially since he was also sorted into Slytherin House.

"What's the matter, Regulus?" Narcissa asked, her tone was far less cold than the expression on her face, but she still ignored Snape beside her.

But this was exactly what Snape wanted. He stood silently behind "Regulus", wanting to hear what he would say next.

"Regulus" finally spoke, his tone seemed a little excited.

"Cousin, I feel like I have found out who the heir is!"

His voice was not loud, as if he did not intend to let more people hear it, and he wanted to keep it secret for now.

But this made the two people next to him stunned at the same time.

After calming down for a while, Narcissa came back to her senses, and her gloomy expression gradually changed.

She took "Regulus" to the corner of the common room. When she saw Snape silently following him, her expression looked a little unhappy.

"Severus and I discovered this together."

"Regulus" explained the reason very simply.

Snape couldn't help but glance at him, becoming even more curious about the lie he had concocted.

Finally, after all three people were seated, "Regulus" said.

"The heir is Dorcas Meadows, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor from last semester!"
