Chapter 036
Late at night, the principal’s office.
Dumbledore was still awake. There were some school and International Federation of Wizards matters that needed to be dealt with urgently.
The portraits of past principals hanging on the wall were already dozing slightly. boom!
Suddenly there was a loud noise and the office door was rudely opened.
Snape walked in with a sullen face and angrily. He ignored the insults from the awakened principals and walked straight to Dumbledore’s desk. He held the table with his right hand and looked down at Dumbledore.
“Professor, you need to give me an explanation.”
Dumbledore adjusted his half-moon glasses, his blue pupils shimmering. He put down his quill and looked up at Snape slightly and asked,”What’s the explanation?”
“You clearly promised me that you would ensure…his safety,” Snape was a little annoyed.
“Isn’t Harry uninjured?”Dumbledore replied with narrowed eyes.
His nonchalant look made Snape even more angry. Snape knocked on the table and said angrily:”That damn troll! He would have almost been killed, if Evans of Ravenclaw hadn’t discovered it in time.……”
Snape’s voice lowered as he spoke,”I don’t want to repeat the scene that day.”
He raised his head again and asked,”I don’t believe that the great Dumbledore couldn’t discover that a giant monster had invaded the castle.”
“Severus, you think too highly of me,” Dumbledore said calmly,”I am also a human being, and I will be negligent sometimes. What’s more, today is Halloween, I think everyone deserves to relax a little, including me, right?”
“you!”Snape sat down on the chair slumped. The old man in front of him always made him feel deeply powerless.
“Then you must have some clues about the murderer, right?”Snape changed the question. If he knew who released the troll, then he must make that person look good!
“Of course, it is not difficult to guess,” Dumbledore slowly spit out a name,”Quirrell”
“Quirrell? Snape was a little surprised,”Only that Quirrell who stutters and has a cowardly personality?” Whether he can deal with the giant monster is a question.”
Dumbledore shook his head,”Severus, sometimes there is more to things than what they seem.”
“When Quirrell was the professor of Muggle Studies, everyone said he was personable and excellent, but since his trip to Albania, he has become what he is now,” Dumbledore recalled.
“Didn’t he mess up his brain while traveling?”Snape said sarcastically, but he did find Quirrell’s change strange.
“I have some guesses about why he became like this, but I still need some time to verify it,” Dumbledore said slowly,”Severus, help me keep an eye on him.”
“Huh,” Snape snorted without objecting.
As the topic ended, there was a long silence in the office.
“By the way, there is also Ivis Evans.” Snape thought of something again, suddenly raised his head and said in an unpredictable tone:”When I was checking the troll, I found that there was a magic spell on its knee. The injury, there is absolutely no way a first grader can do it”
“A young Muggle wizard who has just entered school has mastered some unknown attack magic. I have reason to suspect that he is secretly studying dark magic. Are you going to let him go like this?”
From Snape’s point of view, Elvis Evans showed great talent and hard work as soon as he entered school.
Although his talent in potions was mediocre, he w
as able to master the potions through repeated practice. The refining technique was incredible to an eleven-year-old wizard. In Snape’s opinion, little wizards of this age would rather ride on a broom all day than spend a minute in the library. temperament.
What’s more, Ivis has repeatedly received praise from Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick in Charms and Transfiguration classes. They have expressed their love for Ivis in the staff room more than once.
Now. , he suddenly showed his extraordinary strength, which made Snape a little worried. Could he be the next Dark Lord?
Dumbledore shook his head,”No, Severus, Mr. Evans and a It’s related to ancient prophecies, so you don’t have to worry about him at all. What’s more, have you felt any traces of black magic?”
“No,” Snape was stunned.
Dumbledore smiled slightly,”Then you don’t need to worry about it. Right now, your most important task is to see Quirrell. Snape stood up angrily,”
Dumbledore, you will regret it.””
Slammed the door and left.
Dumbledore put his chin on his hands and stared straight ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.
……
The Halloween troll invasion added a lot of popularity to Ives.
Every time he walked down the corridor, a witch would ogle him.
Apart from this change in the castle, the relationship between Harry and Malfoy has probably eased a bit.
Although Malfoy kept saying that he only chose to lie to Professor McGonagall because Harry and Ron rescued him from the bathroom, he had forgotten that it was the two of them who imprisoned him.
So Harry felt guilty, and his relationship with Malfoy was not as tense as before.
After entering November, the weather becomes very cold.
The mountains around Hogwarts were gray and covered with ice and snow, and the surface of the Black Lake was as cold and hard as tempered steel.
Every morning there is frost on the ground.
Hagrid can be clearly seen from the windows of Ravenclaw Tower, swaddled in a long moleskin coat, wearing rabbit fur gloves and huge beaver fur boots, as he takes to the Quidditch pitch. Broom to defrost.
Starting this month, the Quidditch Academy Cup officially begins.
Each college began to prepare for the competition, hoping to achieve good results in the College Cup.
Ravenclaw’s training is more intensive, and everyone hopes to make a splash in this Academy Cup and break the”myth” of Ravenclaw being at the bottom every year.
Roger made a thorough analysis for the players. Their opponents this year are only two houses – Hufflepuff and Slytherin.
Hufflepuff had a new Seeker last year: Cedric Diggory, who was very strong. After a year of hard work, the Hufflepuff team will undoubtedly become stronger.
Slytherin has always been a strong contender for the Academy Cup championship. They are good at physical collisions. Although it is a foul, it is really effective. With this tactic, Slytherin has won six consecutive championships, aiming for seven consecutive championships, with the intention of creating a dynasty!
However, the strength of Ravenclaw this year should not be underestimated. The new lineup gave Roger great confidence to compete with Slytherin.
As for the Gryffindor team, their captain and Seeker Charlie Weasley graduated last year. The most important seeker has not found a suitable candidate this year. It can be said that there is no threat.
