Snape inwardly cursed
as Dumbledore's order got to him. He had nearly finished
concocting a special potion that should work on Ivory. Letting it
simmer, he began doing his research into this dark creature. Even
with his expert knowledge of the Dark Arts and Dark Creatures, he had
no idea what Dumbledore had detected. Snape feared it was a trap
Voldemort had set up to lure Dumbledore away from the school. If so,
it had worked perfectly. Snape cursed. Why didn't Dumbledore
consult him first?
Knowing he had no choice but to forgo his plans to seduce Ivory, he began mapping out a defense, should the Demon prove able to break Dumbledore's protections on the school.
