Hogwarts: Undercover Death Eater Replaces the Dark Lord

Just as he was about to wave his wand, the highly corrosive potion on the ground just overflowed over a stool and almost flowed onto a pair of exquisite shoes.

The next moment, a cold voice sounded——

"Evanesco disappeared."

……

Chapter 19: The Neglected Cassandra

As that cold, yet crisp sound like a ringing bell fell, the corrosive potion on the ground disappeared.

"Huh?" Snape curled up the corner of his mouth in surprise and looked towards the place where the voice came from.

The blonde, blue-eyed, cold little witch once told Lycos her name - Cassandra Worley.

"Professor, can we continue the class?" Cassandra retracted her wand and asked calmly, as if she had just done something insignificant.

"A good Vanishing Charm, Miss Vorley." Snape nodded slightly, offering a rare compliment. "You used the magic you only learned in fifth year to redeem your classmate's mistake in time... Well done, five points from Slytherin."

Then he turned around and glared fiercely at the other little wizards who were watching the show:

"What are you still doing here? Do you want to ruin the potion?!"

The young wizards were frightened and shuddered, turning their attention back to their crucibles in disappointment.

"Lex, is that girl from our college?" Draco asked in a low voice while stirring the yellow sticky liquid in the pot.

"If I remember correctly, school has been started for a week now." Lycos glanced at him.

"It's been a week since school started, but I really don't have any impression of this girl!" Draco complained innocently, "I only remember seeing her once at the Sorting Ceremony, and I don't have any other memories..."

Having said that, Lycos unconsciously stopped grinding the snake bone powder.

He suddenly realized that Cassandra's presence during this period was indeed frighteningly low - after carefully searching his memory, he had not found her figure in the classes in the past few days!

But this shouldn't be the case.

A little witch with such outstanding appearance should not be ignored even if she doesn't become a celebrity in the school, right?

Lycos's expression changed, and he turned and patted Crabbe's shoulder.

"Crabbe, Goyle, do you have any impression of her?" He pointed at the little blond witch and asked the two fat guys.

Crabbe was lost in thought, his face heavy with emotion. "Who is she? Why is she here?"

Goyle also had a serious expression on his face: "...Lex, what did you just ask? I didn't hear clearly."

At the same time, because the crucible was not stirred in time, the temperature of the potion in Crabbe and Goyle's pot was too high, and a big bubble exploded with a "pop".

The two fat guys were splashed with bubbles in their faces and cried out "Ah".

“Ahhh, it’s hot! It’s burning me to death—”

"It hurts, it hurts, woooo ...

"..."

Lycos blinked, then sat back in his seat as if nothing had happened and began to grind the bone powder on the workbench seriously.

Hearing Crabbe and Goyle's screams, Snape glared at them with a ferocious look.

"Two idiots!" He glanced at the two fat potions, his eyes revealing uncontrollable disgust. "You didn't listen to what I taught in this class at all, right?"

Crabbe and Goyle were still screaming, and red lumps appeared where the potion bubbles had splashed on them.

"Draco, take them to the school infirmary." Snape said to Draco.

Then he walked slowly up to Lycos.

"Hayden, why don't you tell them the correct steps to make the medicine? Do you think you are great just because they make mistakes? Slytherin..."

Snape subconsciously wanted to deduct points, but when he thought of Lycos's college, he forced himself to suppress the desire to deduct points.

"It's a shame for Slytherin to have a student like you!"

After changing the action of deducting points to swearing harshly, Snape waved his long cloak and walked back to the podium like a giant bat...

An hour later, the first Potions class of the semester ended.

Leko paid special attention to Cassandra and found that as soon as the bell rang, she left the classroom as gracefully and silently as a cat, without attracting anyone's attention.

Snape did not express any dissatisfaction with Cassandra's punctual departure, because she had already completed the potion she was supposed to brew in accordance with the rules.

Although it wasn't as good as the potion brewed by Gryffindor's top student Hermione Granger, it was more than enough to meet the passing line.

Lycos always felt that Cassandra was deliberately hiding her strength.

After all, the Vanishing Charm is an advanced part of fifth-year Transfiguration. Since Cassandra can cast the Vanishing Charm so easily, is her potion level really so mediocre?

……

"How are Crabbe and Goyle?"

Lycos and Draco met in the foyer at the front of the Great Hall.

He still felt a bit guilty for causing the potion to splash onto the faces of his two followers... Although if he had continued to brew it in their state, the explosion might have been even more severe...

"Madam Pomfrey put something on their faces and they'll be fine in a few minutes." Draco waved his hand nonchalantly. "They can both make it to the afternoon Herbology class!"

"Wait, if Crabbe and Goyle were fine in a few minutes, why did you skip the whole class?" Lycos folded his arms and looked at him expressionlessly, "I brewed the rest of the potion by myself."

"Ah...hahaha, hahaha, I'm just worried that Crabbe and Goyle will be lonely!" Draco knew he was in the wrong, so he laughed and changed the subject.

"Look at the college hourglass!"

After all, skipping classes is human nature, not to mention that the professor personally gave him a reason to send someone to the hospital.

Lycos was too lazy to continue arguing and casually looked at the college hourglass in front of the auditorium door.

It is one of four giant hourglasses located in the foyer that records the number of House points awarded or deducted.

The four hourglasses are filled with small red, blue, yellow and green gems respectively, representing the four houses of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin.

When points are added to the academy, gems of different colors will fall from the sphere above. If points are deducted, the gems will float back into the sphere from the hourglass.

It’s only been a week since school started, so there aren’t that many gems in the four hourglasses.

However, because a new first-year student who raised his hand to answer questions in class all day long joined Gryffindor, the red gem surpassed other houses in the past few days.

"Look, Lecos, Slytherin has the most points!" Draco said excitedly, pointing to the green hourglass belonging to Slytherin.

"But Slytherin's points haven't increased much..." Lecos was stunned.

However, when he saw Gryffindor's score, he immediately reacted -

It turned out that with the "joint efforts" of Snape and Harry, Gryffindor successfully deducted Hermione's week-long efforts in just one Potions class...

……

Chapter 20 Lycos, why are you here?

Weekends at Hogwarts are bustling.

The little wizards finally finished a week of school and could use two full days of free time to do whatever they wanted.

"Lex, Flint invited me to the Quidditch pitch today to participate in their practice match. Do you want to come with me?"

Draco asked excitedly, jumping out of bed uncharacteristically early in the morning.

"I won't go. Have fun." Lycos shook his head.

He has no idea how to ride a broom, and his knowledge of Quidditch is limited to books. Wouldn't it be asking for trouble if he went to the training match?

"Well, that's a shame." Draco shrugged.

He changed into a formal green sports robe with cuffs, combed his light blond hair into a shiny slicked back bun in front of the mirror, and then revealed a narcissistic smile.

At this moment, the mirror suddenly grew a mouth and began to speak:

"Don't be so conceited, be careful of your receding hairline."

"Are you kidding? How could this happen to me?" Draco, obviously used to the mirror talking, retorted naturally.

"I hope you remember this and don't come back in a few years to smash me to death to vent your anger." The mirror retorted.

"I'm too lazy to argue with a mirror." Draco straightened his collar again, walked away from the talking bronze mirror in the dormitory angrily, and walked towards the dormitory door.

"Not taking Crabbe and Goyle?" Lycos put down the spell book in his hand and asked casually.

"Forget it, I'll save them from embarrassing me." Draco glanced at the two chubby guys still in bed. "Besides, I have to be able to wake them up..."

Goyle responded with a deafening snore that woke him up.

Then he glanced blankly at the chandelier on the ceiling, smacked his lips, and fell asleep again in an instant...

"...I guess the two of them are going to sleep this weekend away." Lycos said with a twitch of his mouth.

Draco spread his hands as if he was used to it, then opened the door and walked out.

His immature voice came from outside the door: "Goodbye, Lex, I'm going to the Quidditch field to kill everyone today!"

"Tremble, all Quidditch teams at Hogwarts!"

Lycos watched him leave expressionlessly, silently rubbing his arms, feeling embarrassed to the point of goosebumps all over his body...

He had already made up his mind that when Draco matured in a few years, he would find a Pensieve and show him what happened today, so that he could feel what embarrassment was!

The firewood in the fireplace was still crackling, accompanied by the occasional snoring in the dormitory and the occasional bubbling sound of the Black Lake outside the window.

Lycos thought for a moment and put the spell book aside.

It would be a bit unreasonable not to go out for a weekend when he finally got one, especially since he was in a big castle full of treasures and secrets.

First of all, of course, we should go and see the magical Room of Requirement, maybe we can find some interesting things in it——

……

The Room of Requirement is located on the eighth floor of the main tower of Hogwarts Castle.

There is a tapestry hanging on the left corridor of the eighth floor, which tells the story of a foolish wizard who tries to teach a troll to dance.

The Room of Requirement is located behind the blank wall opposite the tapestry.

Of course, knowing the location is one thing, but being able to find it is another...
