Chapter 161 162. Trouble Snape's suspicion

The somewhat chaotic night passed quickly.

Professor Flitwick never revealed the real reason why the school called all the students together.

Whatever the reason, Scott liked it.

I'm afraid only the professors know that someone entered the music room.

"It's hard to tell the truth from the false!" The headquarters of Sir Merlin was attacked, and members of the Siren named the murderer as the daughter of Slytherin! 》

Over breakfast on Monday morning, Scott looked at the newspaper's front page and laughed.

At this time, almost all the students in the auditorium were reading that day's Daily Prophet.

"Rita Skeeter has relented," Eddie said. "She insisted that Dumbledore was lying before, but now she says it's hard to tell the truth!"

Roger shook his head, "But her article still tends to suggest that someone is pretending to be the daughter of Slytherin. She just doesn't dare to blatantly offend those members of Sir Merlin."

"Avoid the important and take the easy!"

Milton comments.

"The process and results of the attack on Sir Merlin's residence are briefly described. The entire article is pointlessly entangled with Medea's true identity."

"Such ambiguous reports are enough to arouse everyone's discussion." Scott said, "Coupled with the prestige of Dumbledore and Sir Merlin, more and more people will believe that Medea is the daughter of Slytherin. "

"Let's go."

Milton stood up.

"The first lesson today is Potions."

After hearing this, Scott and Roger quickly put down their newspapers and finished their breakfast quickly.

They walked together towards the basement.

"Roger."

At this time, Caccini chased from behind.

Scott looked back at the same time.

"Good morning, Roger, Scott, Milton."

Caccini blushed and greeted Roger and them.

This girl had always behaved calmly and generously, but this was the first time she behaved so shyly and blushed.

Scott gave Roger a teasing look.

"cough."

Roger coughed unnaturally, turned around and walked to Caccini.

"Good morning, Caccini."

Scott raised his eyebrows. This was the first time he had seen Roger behave like this.

A veteran of the flower bush pretended to be innocent, which made him want to vomit.

"Good morning, Caccini."

He said hello to Caccini.

"We'll just take the first step."

Then, he smiled at Roger again and called Milton to speed up the pace together.

Most people in the Potions classroom were reading the contents of this morning's newspaper.

There was no photo of Sir Merlin's residence in the newspaper, which disappointed many students.

"In today's Daily Prophet, there is only one report written by Rita Skeeter about the attack on Sir Merlin's headquarters."

Scott whispered to Milton.

"As for the Hogwarts incident last time, almost all pages were written about that incident. Why do you think it's because of that?"

"If you didn't say it, I wouldn't have noticed it." Milton frowned.

He thought for a while and said in a disgusted tone: "It seems that they are sparing no effort to suppress Dumbledore's reputation. I have heard that..."

He lowered his voice further.

"The current Minister of Magic, Fudge, was elected by Dumbledore. In the beginning, he would write to Dumbledore for advice on everything. I heard my grandfather laugh at him about this in private."

"It seems that our minister is no longer satisfied with his reputation." Scott smiled, "Maybe, he wants to become the greatest wizard."

Milton laughed sarcastically, "A guy ranked 100th, even if he kills the 1st, he is still only 99th."

"I like this metaphor."

Scott was happy after hearing this.

Milton's "Yin Yang Technique" has been successfully practiced, and his speech becomes more and more interesting.

"Good morning, Scott, Milton."

At this moment, Cedric walked over to their desk.

"Good morning, Cedric."

Scott looked up at him, a little confused.

"Why are you so happy?"

Cedric looked excited.

"I'm here to say thank you, Scott."

Cedric said very sincerely.

"Thank you for telling me how to study."

"you made it?"

Scott looked at him in surprise.

Could it be that after practicing according to the method he provided, he truly had the ability to perceive magic?

Cedric nodded excitedly, "Yes, although it's a little blurry, I really succeeded! Of course, my transformation skills have also improved a lot!"

"Congratulations." Scott was also a little happy.

This shows that the method I came up with is really useful!

"I don't know how to thank you!" Cedric looked at him very gratefully.

Scott said politely: "No, this is the result of your own efforts."

Cedric said quickly: "No, you told me..."

"Quiet!"

At this moment, Snape's voice came from the back of the classroom.

“I want to see everyone back in their seats!”

Cedric quickly gave Scott an apologetic look and ran back to his seat.

Scott couldn't help but secretly breath a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he felt that Snape came at the right time this time.

Cedric's character is so honest that he can't handle it.

Snape strode through the classroom, and when he passed by Scott's desk, he looked at him very deliberately.

Although Scott felt his real gaze, he kept his head down and did not look up to meet his gaze.

"Humph."

Snape snorted lightly and quickly walked to the podium in front of the classroom.

Without saying anything, he waved his wand and the chalk automatically filled the blackboard.

"Everyone!" He knocked on the blackboard with his wand, "Look here!"

Scott raised his head obediently and met his gaze.

He was so cunning, worthy of being the snake king of Slytherin!

It was a pity that Scott had already started the brain block after he entered the classroom.

And after practicing for this period of time, his brain block had improved a lot.

Although he still couldn't deceive a soul reader with false thoughts, he could easily resist soul reading completely.

Scott and Snape looked at each other for a moment, then naturally looked away, picked up the feather pen and began to copy the blackboard.

Snape didn't say much and started the class naturally.

Scott certainly understood why Snape suspected him.

It was because of Occlumency!

Scott was helpless about this problem.

After Travers' death, Scott had to learn Occlumency to guard against Snape's Legilimency.

And when Snape found out that he was using Occlumency, he would naturally be suspicious of him.

Once he was suspicious, it would be troublesome for Scott.

The same thing happened afterwards. He had experienced so much, it was impossible for him to be flawless all the time.

Some details and coincidences would also increase Snape's suspicion of him.

Unless Scott's Occlumency could be practiced to the same level as Snape, to the point where he could deceive Voldemort, otherwise this problem would be unsolvable.

Fortunately, this matter was just tacitly understood between the two.

Snape was just suspicious at most, and he couldn't catch Scott's handle.

Snape couldn't publicly say that Scott used Occlumency, as if he was hiding something.

It was of course illegal for a professor like him to use Legilimency on a student.
