They walked back with heavy steps, and finally Hermione broke the silence first: "It seems that Principal Dumbledore has indeed done a lot to protect the Philosopher's Stone. It stands to reason that we shouldn't worry about it anymore."
"But the more I listen to Hagrid's description, the more unreliable I feel." Ron said: "Although there are several professors who are trustworthy, what if they are also deceived? And Snape's methods are so high, I think It's not too difficult to break through their mechanism."
"You guys are willing to believe me and start to doubt him?" Harry was a little happy, "Snape is the most suspicious one."
"I just think that Hagrid is a person who is easily deceived. You see, even I can easily get his words out." Hermione was a little confused: "So he is very confident and optimistic, often not so reliable."
Although Harry felt sorry for Hagrid for saying this, he couldn't help but nodded.
There was a sound not far away, and the three looked over vigilantly at the same time.They were on their way back to Gryffindor Castle, and there was still half an hour before the curfew, so they were not afraid of anything, but said loudly: "Who is hiding there to eavesdrop? Malfoy?"
Navis walked out from the bush tremblingly, and said very apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Harry noticed that Neville was still holding something big in his hand, and couldn't help but ask, "What's that?"
"It's... a cat. My classmate lost her cat. I came out to help her find it."
"It's Maine." Hermione recognized it. "It's cute. But, have you been here all this time?"
Neville blushed, as if he didn't know how to answer this question, but he couldn't lie, and finally said: "You...you doubt Professor Snape..."
"Sure enough, you heard it all." Ron rubbed his nose, "But can you pretend you didn't hear it?"
"I..." Neville hugged the big cat tighter, and Vivian meowed softly, looking unlovable, "What are you going to do to Professor Snape?"
"It's not what we're going to do to him. If he's innocent, then what we're going to do has nothing to do with him." Harry kept a straight face, trying to make himself look serious, "This matter is very important to him." It's not a good thing for you, forget about it now, and take the cat back—"
"No..." Neville called out in a low voice. He looked at the three lions in a low voice, as if he wanted to back away, but he insisted on standing still, "Senior Bamboo said, we are friends..."
"Yes, of course." Hermione said immediately, "So, can you..."
"I can't watch you guys do such a dangerous thing, it's against school rules. And, if the professor finds out, maybe, maybe..." He looked terribly frightened, as if he had been knocked down by the picture in his imagination .
"I know, but we have no choice." Harry's tone softened a lot, "If you don't stop it, Snape will resurrect Voldemort and destroy everything here!"
"Oh! Don't mention that name." Ron whispered. "It's really terrible. I can't imagine the consequences at all."
"We can tell the other professors about this." Neville's voice was small, but his attitude was firm. "You have no way to deal with Professor Snape, and, if it's not him..."
"We've tried it, but no one believed it." Harry approached anxiously, "Even Hagrid didn't believe there was something wrong with Snape, and Bamboo trusted him somehow. But I only believe what I see, Snape Kep is clearly targeting Gryffindor, targeting me. And I have evidence to prove that he used to work for the... You-Know-Who. If he has reformed, why does he always act like this? Shouldn't you behave more kindly, otherwise, how can you redeem yourself?"
Neville seemed bewildered by what he said, and even Ron didn't react too much, and called him in a worried voice.
Hermione stepped forward gently and reminded: "Anyway, we have to go back quickly. Otherwise, Filch will definitely want to deduct our points and put us in confinement! Neville, don't worry about us. , we have a plan. If you try to stop us, you will only hurt Hufflepuff."
Neville seemed to be frowning even more deeply. Hermione knew that he was extremely embarrassed, and she didn't want to see her friends in danger, and she was afraid that her intervention would not only fail to help them, but also hurt her own college.
"Hey, let me say..." Ron rubbed his ears, "There are still ten minutes, and it will be too late if you don't leave. But, Longbottom, I still want to ask you a question..."
Compared with Harry and Hermione, Ron didn't have such a deep friendship with Neville for the time being, so he asked the question without any psychological pressure: "Aside from Harry, isn't it you who Snape bullies the most? If you don't A Hufflepuff, I'm afraid it will only be worse than me and Hermione. So, wouldn't it be a good thing for you that we have to deal with Snape? Why do you have to stop it? How can you be sure that we will fail? "
Neville's lips seemed to lose their color, and he seemed to be still thinking about what Harry and Hermione had said, and was caught off guard by Ron's question again.
Seeing him like this, Ron silently strengthened his idea of supporting Harry.From the beginning, he didn't fully believe in Harry's judgment, but later, although he began to doubt, he hesitated because he was afraid of Snape.But now, because of "foreign" objections, he was sure that he must persevere for Harry's sake.
Who said that a student can't be a professor, can it be that three Gryffindors can't do an old Slytherin?Who said that violating school rules will definitely result in expulsion?Even if points are deducted, so what, the Academy Cup can't be eaten as a meal.
It's not Gryffindor style to be timid!
"You Hufflepuffs are just too easy to bully." Ron said, "He scares you every day, and you are afraid. But it's not your fault, there are not many students in Hogwarts who are not afraid of him, but Unfortunately, there are three of them standing in front of you right now!"
Hermione couldn't help rolling her eyes. She didn't know what Ron was thinking when he suddenly seemed to have been beaten to death, but now, she did plan to advance and retreat with her two friends.
She patted Neville on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "I believe you will not betray us, so you should also trust us and not be defeated by evil forces!"
Neville watched the three lions galloping towards the Gryffindor tower, and then shuffled towards his lounge.
He has a lot of things that he can't figure out and needs to be sorted out urgently.But at the same time, he really envied their unrestrained and confident appearance.
If only I could be like them, a little braver.
"But the more I listen to Hagrid's description, the more unreliable I feel." Ron said: "Although there are several professors who are trustworthy, what if they are also deceived? And Snape's methods are so high, I think It's not too difficult to break through their mechanism."
