A sharp Hogwarts

"...Almost, correct."

Snape looked at Dalia, whose eyes were shining, and suddenly fell into a long silence.

After a long time, he suddenly let out a long sigh and said slowly.

"You are very talented, Miss Dursley - in Potions."

"Well, why don't you just get on with it?"

Snape stood up irritably. This office suddenly seemed to be unbearable for him to stay in.

It was too bad that the chowder still had to cook for almost an hour.

Because Dalia is so...too similar.

"You just stay in the office, you're not allowed to go there—"

Snape limped to the door and glanced at Dahlia, who was confused.

"There are twenty finished products in total. I hope to see them when I come back in an hour. Those that are not up to standard will be discarded or redone."

"As for the qualification standards, I will judge them when I come back later. You'd better take the time to prepare a few more copies - you can stay here until it's finished tonight!"

bump!

The office door was slammed shut, and the door lock made a clicking sound.

After saying these words, Snape turned and left, leaving Dalia alone in the office.

…………

Meanwhile, the Gryffindor common room.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat together by a window.

Hermione was checking the magic homework of Harry and others, including of course the copy that Ron copied for Dalia.

Because Dalia was temporarily taken away, Hermione turned a blind eye to Ron's behavior of helping Dalia copy homework for the first time.

On the other hand, Harry still felt very uneasy.

He wanted to get "Quidditch Origins" back, and even more wanted to see what happened to Dahlia.

Otherwise, he felt that his nerves would never be able to relax, and besides, they had a game tomorrow.

Dalia is right, why should they be afraid of Professor Snape?Even professors cannot punish students at will.

So, he stood up and told Ron and Hermione that he was going to Snape's office to try to "rescue" Daria and "Quidditch Origins".

"Are you crazy? Didn't you take the initiative to send him to the door to be punished?!" Ron raised his hand and touched Harry's forehead.

"I think it's best for us to wait in the lounge..." Hermione also didn't agree with Harry's idea.

But Harry had an idea. If they could find other professors, maybe Professor Snape wouldn't be so arrogant.

Needless to say, this proposal was supported by Hermione and Ron - in fact, everyone was a little worried about Dahlia.

The three of them went downstairs to the door of Snape's office and knocked on the door.

"Who?" Dalia's voice came from inside.

"It's us -" Harry lowered his voice and cautiously approached the door.

He tried to push the door, but it seemed to be locked from the outside. It seemed that Professor Snape was not inside.

Immediately afterwards, Dalia's answer confirmed his guess.

Snape left without knowing where to go, and now Dahlia was left alone in the room to brew the potion.

The door of the office was locked from the outside by Snape, and inside Dalia had to face a lot of ingredients that she had to deal with slowly.

"Perhaps Snape left the book in there? And Dahlia wants to help too."

Harry said, looking at Hermione and begging softly, "How about we... try? Just open the door -"

"Then be careful-"

Hermione glanced at Harry worriedly, pulled out her magic knife and knocked on the door lock.

Since the troll incident, she has become less resistant to breaking school rules.

According to Dalia's indoctrination, as long as you are not caught red-handed, it is not a violation of school rules.

“Cream of Broccoli Soup—”

Click - the door lock opens with a sound.

The door opened quietly and Harry quickly slipped in.

He first helped Dalia with the ingredients, and then they looked for "Quidditch Origins" in Snape's office.

Hermione and Ron walked to the other side, Ron was responsible for keeping watch, and Hermione planned to try her luck in the staff lounge.

If other professors could be found, they might be able to come and rescue Dalia.

…………

The door to the staff lounge was open, and there were faint voices coming from inside.

Hermione pushed the door open a crack and looked in - a terrifying sight appeared in front of her.

Snape and Filch were the only two people in the room.Snape lifted his robes above his knees.

One of his legs was bloody and bloody.Filch was handing him the bandage.

"Damn thing," Snape said, "how can you stare at three heads at the same time?"

Hermione was about to close the door quietly, but -

"who?!"

Snape quickly put down his robes, covered his injured leg, and limped towards the door.

Hermione was so frightened that she almost flew out of her mind, and she ran all the way down to the lower level.

Ron heard her movement and quickly asked Harry to come out quickly, but Snape was obviously faster than they expected.

Even though he was limping on one leg, Snape still appeared at the corner of the corridor when Harry left the office.

"Potter?! Why are you guys here?!"

Snape looked at Harry who happened to come out of the office with a book in his hand.

He was so angry that his face was almost deformed, and he stared ferociously at the black-haired boy.

Only half an hour, less than half an hour!

While he was temporarily leaving the office, Potter's cub slipped in!

"I wonder if I can get my book back..."

Harry's mind went blank and he subconsciously waved the "Quidditch Origins" he had just found.

Then, he immediately realized something was wrong and hurriedly hid it behind himself.

"Potter—" Professor Snape roared loudly.

"Why are you still standing there?! Run away——"

However, before Snape could vent his anger, Dalia suddenly rushed out of the office.

"Harry and I have chopped all the ingredients, and the magic potion is almost ready...I'm going back first, Professor Snape."

Dalia grabbed Harry, who was still stunned, and ran away as if for his life. She didn't want to stay alone in the office and face the furious Snape. Being caught stealing books was probably the worst situation. Anyway, There may be emergencies tomorrow to break up the incident. As long as you escape the scene in time today, there will be no danger.

After experiencing the "chasing battle" between the giant monster and the three-headed dog, Dalia and her group's escape speed obviously made a qualitative leap.

In less than a few minutes, the four of them appeared in the Gryffindor lounge, panting.

"What's going on? Why did you provoke Snape?!"

Ron gasped and frowned at Hermione next to him.

You know, Hermione is the most cautious of the four, and this situation is too rare.

Hermione lowered her voice and told them everything she had just seen. The bloody scene still remained in her mind.

"I see, no wonder—it makes sense!"

Harry also waved his fist fiercely, turned his head to look at Ron, who also looked stunned, and spoke in a low voice.

"He was trying to get past the big three-headed dog on Halloween! That's where he was going when we saw him - he was looking for the thing the big dog was guarding! I dare you to use my broomstick Bet it was Snape who let that giant monster in to divert people's attention!"

"...Okay, then your broomstick is probably gone - don't make such strange oaths!"

Dalia sighed helplessly and couldn't help but rub her temples.

It's over, it's over, why is the plot going back again?

"Professor Snape is a good man, at least as far as I know..."

"To be honest, Dalia, your 'divination' this time may not be so accurate."

Hermione said rudely, shaking uncomfortably, "You can't rely on 'feeling' to judge whether a person is good or bad. I believe more in the results of 'reasoning' divination. And you also saw Snape The professor’s expression at the end was so terrifying..."

"..."

Dalia looked at the serious Hermione and suddenly felt a sense of absurdity.

All right--

The plot changed a little bit.

Now Harry wasn't the only one to doubt Snape.

but……

On the other hand, Dalia couldn't help but shudder as she recalled the terrifying twisted look on Snape's face just now.

To be honest, that expression really looked like a villain - Dalia felt that if she hadn't taken Harry away, Snape might have chopped them up with a knife and thrown them into the pot in the next second. She also I have never seen Snape look so scary and furious.
