Chapter 60 Professor Snape takes the blame

Faced with Quirrell's sudden retreat, Rice was a little confused: Why not continue to fight? Did you feel in advance that you would definitely lose, so you just gave up? Or are you afraid of being discovered by others, so you stop? Or do you think that this approach is pointless, and even throwing Harry off the broom will not have any impact on the game and Harry's health?

He looked towards Quirrell and then burst out laughing. The reason was not as complicated as he thought. Quirrell was knocked down.

For such a simple reason, Quirrell was defeated on a physical level.

The person who knocked down Quirrell was also an acquaintance, Hermione, a freshman in Ravenclaw College. She was also keenly aware that there was something wrong with Harry's broom, and then she found the culprit in the crowd... Severus Si Nep.

He stared closely at Harry in the sky, his expression gloomy, and the way he muttered words looked so much like a villain who was doing bad things that Hermione did not hesitate to regard him as an enemy.

After discovering her target, Hermione hurried towards Snape, intending to expose his ugly face in public. Fortunately, while walking through the crowded stands, she accidentally knocked over Professor Quirrell, who was engrossed in the fight. The purpose was achieved.

The steps to solve the problem were correct and the algebra was wrong, but an accident occurred during the operation, and the correct answer was finally obtained. This is the portrayal of Hermione's action.

Professor Snape didn't know that he had taken a solid scapegoat. He only knew that Harry's crisis had been resolved.

He immediately shut his mouth and pretended that he had done nothing. He couldn't let anyone find out that he had cursed Potter's broom. The Head of Slytherin placed a spell on the Seeker's broom during a Quidditch match between Slytherin and Gryffindor! Once discovered, the yellow mud will fall down the crotch and cannot be washed at all. Even if it is easy to prove innocence, the impact on the reputation will still be extremely bad because students will not believe it at all.

At this moment, Harry in the sky was in a very embarrassing situation.

Both Rice and Snape's spells could stabilize the broom, but when their spells were combined, an unexpected magical reaction occurred - Harry's Nimbus 2000 was under the influence of their spells. "It's dead", it stopped at high altitude and remained motionless no matter how much Harry drove it.

The two instigators, Les and Snape, also discovered this situation soon. Snape's face darkened, and Les couldn't help but cover his forehead.

Les did not try to use spells to activate Harry's broom again. He knew that the current problem was that the three-party spells were fighting in a broomstick, causing the broom to be temporarily unable to receive external signals. The best thing to do is to do nothing and the broom will return to normal on its own in a minute or two.

Now we can only hope that the referee will find something abnormal and stop the game. Where is the referee? Mrs. Huo Qi can do something!

At this time, Mrs. Hooch was distracted and did not notice the abnormality on Harry's side.

At this moment, a golden shadow flashed in front of Harry, and Harry's breathing quickened: He was 100% sure that it was the Golden Snitch!

Unfortunately, his broom refused to obey and pinned him to the spot, unable to move.

The next second, Slytherin's Seeker whizzed past him on his broom, holding the Snitch firmly in his hand. After catching the snitch, he gave Harry a strange look, not understanding why Potter just stood there and watched.

Harry:!

Les:…

Snape:…

Seeing the unexpected ending of the game, both Rice and Snape were stunned.

What should I say? Harry was indeed unlucky, and the accident happened in that short window of a few minutes.

Snape: I'm doing it for his own good. Without me, Potter would have been thrown off the broom. Isn't it normal for some accidents to happen during the rescue process?

Les: The reaction of magic is so amazing, haha!

Both of them quickly completed their mental construction and enjoyed the victory with peace of mind.

When Hermione also rushed to Snape's side, the game was over, and she naturally had no clue about Snape. Snape glanced down at her as he applauded the Slytherin team.

"Miss Granger, why are you here? If you want to celebrate the victory with Slytherin House, then we welcome you."

Hermione stared at Snape for a while, then left angrily.

Although I have no evidence to expose your ugly true face now, I will seize the opportunity sooner or later! She swore secretly in her heart and decided to go to Les immediately and tell him what she had just seen.

Harry fell back to the ground under the protection of his teammates, and handed his Nimbus 2000 to Professor McGonagall, who was coming quickly. She would conduct a comprehensive inspection of the broom.

The first Quidditch League of this school year ended in a somewhat absurd way.

Rice did not join the academy's celebrations after the game. He planned to go to the corridor on the fourth floor while the staff were enjoying lunch to find out what Dumbledore had hidden in the school.

But as soon as he walked out of the corridor, he was blocked by a man.

"Hermione, what's wrong with you?"

"Les, I have to tell you something." Hermione looked around and lowered her voice after realizing there was no one else around.

Les motioned for Hermione to start speaking.

Hermione told Les everything she saw during today's Quidditch match.

"Les, Snape wants to kill Harry!" Her expression became anxious, "I need your help, help me collect evidence."

Rice sighed: Professor Snape, look, this is the result of not managing your image well! Comparatively, if he didn't know the truth, he would regard people like Snape as villains.

"Hermione, this is not what you think. Professor Snape is innocent."

I'm also innocent, Les added silently in his mind.

"Les!" Seeing that Les didn't believe her, Hermione became impatient.

"Snape is helping Harry, not harming him. If you don't believe what I say, you can go to Professor Flitwick and he will find out the truth for you."

This kind of investigation is not difficult, it is just a matter of magic for Professor Flitwick.

Hermione's eyes lit up at Les's suggestion, but then dimmed again.

"But I have no evidence..." Reporting a professor without evidence was an extremely dangerous behavior in Hermione's mind, so she subconsciously found Les, her classmate who she thought was the most reliable, hoping to get With his help, collect evidence against Snape.

"Then you write an anonymous letter, I'm really convinced." Les was worried about the ability of the modern little wizard from the bottom of his heart.

He directly took out a piece of parchment, penned quickly and quickly, and soon a letter stating the facts Hermione had seen was written.

After showing it to Hermione to confirm that the statement inside was correct, Les tapped his wand on the letter paper, and the letter turned into a small paper bird and flew towards the staff table.

"Professor Flitwick will give you the answer. Snape is really innocent. Why don't you believe it?"
