Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

"You, you can ask Professor Dumbledore for confirmation." Dean could only pray and hope that Dumbledore could help him round up this lie.

"It's strange. He has many opportunities to admonish me, so why would he ask you to admonish me?" Snape asked doubtfully.

"Or, maybe he is creating opportunities for me to talk to you. You have been avoiding me recently." Dean said with courage.

"No, I'm just too busy!" Snape denied.

"I don't understand why you are so anxious?" Dean asked again.

"These three formulas are very important. If they can be studied thoroughly, they might change the entire magical world!" Snape said with shining eyes.

Dean had never imagined that Snape, who was known for his calmness, would have such a fervent expression on his face.

His heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered the main mission in the system that he had almost forgotten: "Change in the Wizarding World." According to the clues provided by Master Newt, the key to this mission seemed to be Snape?

"Did you find anything?" Dean couldn't help but ask.

"A little bit, but not much progress. I need more time..." Snape suddenly came to his senses and said displeasedly, "Why am I telling you this? It's not the time for you to know yet!" "

"Why?" Dean asked confused.

"You're too young!" Snape gave a rare explanation.

"I don't think so." Dean stretched out his hand to indicate his height. He was only half a head lower than Snape, and he was almost the same as a fourth or fifth grade student.

"What I mean is that your foundation is too poor! You haven't learned a lot of knowledge, or even if you know it, it's not solid. Rushing into such advanced potions knowledge will only be counterproductive!" Snape said angrily.

Dean could always stir up his emotions easily.

"I understand, Professor." Dean quickly said with a smile, "I just hope that if my ability meets your requirements, I hope you can share the research results with me."

Dean is still thinking about Lupin, who is currently troubled by the full moon, and Bill Weasley, who will also be troubled by werewolves in the future.

"Dean, who do you think I am working so hard for? The savior Potter?" Snape asked in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, Professor!" Dean was shocked. Was Snape working so hard for him?

Dean said he couldn't bear such wrong love.

Just when Dean didn't know what to say, the system suddenly flashed a red light in front of his eyes, and a line of dazzling red characters appeared: "Please note that the unicorn is under attack, and the mission to save the unicorn may fail. risk!"

I go, how is this possible?

The curse words almost blurted out, but luckily Dean woke up in time and covered his mouth.

It's hard to imagine what the consequences would be if Snape heard him swear.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Snape was startled by Dean's sudden movement, thinking that he was sick again.

"No, it's nothing." Dean said hesitantly, "I'm sorry, Professor, I was too reckless today. I think I'd better not waste your time. I want to go back to sleep."

"Do you need me to send you off?" Snape asked eagerly.

He didn't want to stay with Dean anymore. There was already a topic between them that he didn't want to mention but couldn't get around, but tonight there was another topic.

Even Snape himself began to wonder if if this continued, Dean would become a Potter in his heart again - this damn kid was too difficult to deal with, and Snape didn't know how to be right with him. get along.

"No need. The entrance to the Gryffindor common room is at the other end of the corridor. I won't get lost at such a distance." After Dean declined, he fled out of the Room of Requirement like flying.

"It seems that I have to take some time to study the potion to cure road idiots..." After the door was closed, Snape murmured, took out a piece of parchment and made a note.

……

After Dean came out of the Room of Requirement, he immediately took out the Marauder's Map and checked it, and found a result that stunned him:

The map shows that a black spot marked "Quirrell (Voldemort)" is moving quickly in the Forbidden Forest.

Is this Voldemort waking up from hibernation?

When Quirrell's name was displayed on the Marauder's Map before, Voldemort's name had never appeared at the same time.

Dean didn't think too much. After confirming that there was no one or ghost around, he immediately changed into the costume of the Mysterious Walker, activated the invisibility function of Prokos' robe, and flashed towards the Forbidden Forest.

At this time, the Forbidden Forest was already in chaos.

Although the centaurs have been very protective of the unicorns under the reminder of the "Secret Walker", a lone unicorn was still attacked by an unknown creature earlier tonight. .

It must be admitted that the protection measures of the centaurs were quite effective. The neighing sound of the unicorn when it was attacked alerted the centaurs patrolling nearby, and the centaurs rushed over quickly.

The unknown creature gave up on the nearby prey almost as soon as the centaurs appeared, and crawled quickly close to the ground, like a wild beast looking for opportunities to hunt.

"Seize it!" Wild Bane roared angrily.

The centaurs opened their bows and arrows and shot at the shadow. However, the shadow moved very quickly and ran out of the attack range of the centaurs in the blink of an eye.

Bain glanced at the attacked unicorn and found that it was only a little frightened and not seriously injured, so he immediately ordered: "Chase!"

"Wait a minute, Bain, have you forgotten that you fell into a trap last time?" Firenze quickly stopped him.

"Of course I remember, what if that thing attacks other unicorns?" Bain asked dissatisfied.

Firenze was speechless for a moment, this was indeed a possibility.

Compared with the huge Forbidden Forest, the number of horsemen is still too small. Once the current situation occurs, it will be difficult for them to protect it fully.

"Leave it to me, you continue patrolling." The mysterious walker's voice suddenly appeared among the centaurs.

"Mysterious Walker?" Firenze suddenly became excited, "I can't thank you enough, so please!"

Before he finished speaking, the Mysterious Walker turned into a mist and melted into the deep night.

"Fierenze, how can you trust that guy?" Bain said dissatisfied.

"I think the Mystic Walker has proven his position," Firenze retorted, "The best thing for now is to let him track that thing while we continue patrolling and protecting the unicorn."

"You are too gullible!" Bain snorted.

"Don't forget, Dumbledore also said that the Mystery Walker can be trusted." Ronan suddenly reminded him.

Bain snorted angrily, and instead of continuing the argument, spat in the direction where the unknown creature disappeared.

After Dean teleported out of the Forbidden Forest last time to save Rolf as the Mysterious Walker and fight Voldemort, Dumbledore showed up to clean up the mess and took Rolf back to Hogwarts. At that time, he said to the centaurs In this case.

The centaurs still trust Dumbledore.
