Chapter 353 Three Little Suspects
·
Chu Ni Fan Wan
In fact, Ron and Hermione weren't as obsessed with Snape's misbehavior as he was.Of course, it wasn't his friends' fault. If it were him, he wouldn't take the risk of violating school rules to offend a senior professor who was already scary.
But the scar on his forehead has been a faint reminder that things are far from over.If his guess is correct, Snape stole the Philosopher's Stone in order to give it to Voldemort to help him resurrect. After that, not only would he be murdered again, but the whole of Hogwarts would also be in danger.
Hermione has been worried about being fired for breaking the rules, and Ron has always cared about the deduction of points, which is nothing compared to this.
There is one more thing that can confirm his suspicion.He had received a looking glass once for his birthday from the godfather's niece, who he remembered was an Auror.And that kind of gift, after being taken out of the dormitory by him inadvertently, suddenly issued an early warning.
That's what happened after the Transfiguration class.The Transfiguration classroom was between the second and third floors, and he looked around in fright, fearing that Peeves or Myrtle was going to play tricks on him.But that was not the case that time, ordinary pranks were not enough to make the looking glass make such a loud noise, he looked around, and soon noticed that Snape came out from the school infirmary on the second floor.
Sure enough, it was him.Harry immediately told his friends about it, although Hermione saw it differently.
"There are a lot of people coming and going on that floor. There are four or five classrooms alone. You can't be sure that Snape must have triggered the warning of your looking glass." She said: "Maybe Pippi The ghost is hiding behind you, trying to trip you up."
"Okay, okay, let's just think it's a coincidence." Harry said a little annoyed, "But it was given to me by an Auror who graduated from Hufflepuff. I think it's not just to remind Peeves that Peeves is nearby. So simple!"
"Speaking of Hufflepuff." Ron said, "Harry, do you remember that Takeya said many times that Snape would not do anything to hurt us... Well, what exactly did she say? But anyway, she trusted Snape."
"That's right, don't you believe her at all?" Hermione rarely agreed with Ron, "Observe and observe more, I know your doubts have not been dispelled, but we are students, and if we want to deal with the teacher, we must There is enough evidence."
It was rare for Harry to hesitate, he still believed in his own judgment, but when his friends were not very supportive of him, he had to suppress his thoughts first.
Evidence, yes, he needs evidence.
It's not that he never thought of asking his godfather for help, but he vaguely knew that the relationship between the godfather and Snape was bad, and the godfather was not at Hogwarts after all, insisting on intervening in this matter... would make him feel that he and Snape Malfoy who can call Dad is not much different.
So while Harry was preparing for the Quidditch match, he was struggling with various subjects while keeping an eye on Snape's problems.
It wasn't until this time that he had passed all the final exams and the Quidditch match was over that Harry finally noticed Snape's actions again—he actually wanted to threaten Quirrell and ask him to help him steal the Philosopher's Stone.
In addition, Hagrid also told him not long ago that a unicorn that was killed for blood was found in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts. This is heartbreaking news.
Harry and Hermione, Ron, went to visit Hagrid, who was drinking non-stop because of the loss of this beautiful animal.
"Oh - I knew it was going on and on. The guy who found it a few months ago didn't go away at all! He killed a unicorn and it wasn't enough! He didn't care if he was cursed once or many times Curse, anyway, we lost another such a beautiful little guy."
"Snape must have done it!" Harry said bitterly.
"Oh, why do you say that?" Hagrid stared, "He is someone Dumbledore trusts very much, how could he hurt the unicorn?"
"Look, even Hagrid believed him. Harry, you're on your own now," muttered Ron.
Harry wasn't sure if he was in the wrong, or if they had all been tricked by Snape.He admitted that because Snape was particularly targeting him, and because he was devoted to the godfather, he really wasn't looking at Snape's actions in a completely rational way-but Snape did have a lot of doubts!
"He must have defected to Voldemort and betrayed Dumbledore. He wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone and help Voldemort get back. So he kept threatening Quirrell because he was the only one who was new and the other professors simply ignored him! "Harry analyzed:" Quirrell has wavered many times, but he has returned to the right path. However, not long ago, I saw him threatening Quirrell viciously again. This is about the same time as the time when the unicorn was killed. Fits! Unicorn blood can help Voldemort too, I think it must be. It's almost the end of the term, and he can't stand it anymore!"
"Harry, don't say that." Hagrid took another sip of his wine. "How could Professor Snape want the Sorcerer's Stone? Dumbledore prepared a lot of mechanisms to protect it, and each mechanism had a professor to help design it." , Snapchirrell is involved, and if he really wants the Philosopher's Stone, then—"
"Thousands of traps?" Hermione called in a low voice.
"A lot of professors involved?" Ron repeated.
"Oh—I shouldn't, I shouldn't have told you this!" Hagrid angrily said, "But only people that Dumbledore trusts can participate in it. Anyway, there are so many professors guarding the Philosopher's Stone together, you don't have to Worry."
"Hagrid, you were also involved, right? I know you are also deeply trusted by Dumbledore." Hermione said suddenly: "We saw a big dog with three heads by accident on Halloween... and It's facing the restricted corridor."
"Oh, of course. Of course I am someone Dumbledore trusts!" Hagrid laughed, but soon realized that something was wrong. "Oh, I didn't tell you anything. Good boys, don't ask about this anymore What's the matter, even if you don't trust Professor Snape, you also don't trust your dean, Professor McGonagall? Are the deans of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw also under your suspicion?"
Harry and his two friends looked at each other, and Hagrid passed out completely drunk with grief and worry after saying this.
Harry saw both suspicion and anxiety in the eyes of his companions, but he didn't say much, just said: "It's almost curfew time, we have to go back to the dormitory."
The dog named Fang was also drunk, and the wooden door burned by Norbert had been repaired, and Harry hoped that in the future Hagrid would never be so sad about losing his little animal again.
But the scar on his forehead has been a faint reminder that things are far from over.If his guess is correct, Snape stole the Philosopher's Stone in order to give it to Voldemort to help him resurrect.
