The Chinese girl from Hufflepuff is both timid and brave
Chapter 353: The Little One's Suspicion
In fact, Ron and Hermione were not like him, who were bothered by Snape's various inappropriate behaviors. Of course, it was not his friends' fault. If it were him, he would not be willing to risk violating school rules and offending a senior professor who was already scary.
But the scar on his forehead has been reminding him 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 will he be killed again, but the entire Hogwarts will also be in danger.
Compared to this, Hermione's fear of being expelled for infractions and Ron's concern about being deducted points were nothing.
There was one more thing that confirmed his suspicion. He once received a spyglass as a birthday gift from his godfather's niece, who was an Auror. And that gift, when he accidentally took it out of the dormitory, suddenly gave out a warning.
That happened after the Transfiguration class. The Transfiguration classroom was between the 2nd and 3rd floors. He was so scared that he looked around, fearing that Peeves or Myrtle were going to play a trick on him. But that was not the case this time. Ordinary pranks were not enough to make the mirror make such a loud noise. He looked around and soon noticed that Snape came out of the school infirmary on the 2nd floor.
It was indeed him. Harry immediately told his friends about it, but Hermione had a different opinion.
"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 it was Snape who triggered the warning of your mirror." She said, "Maybe Peeves was hiding behind you at that time, trying to trip you up."
"Okay, okay, let's just call it a coincidence." Harry said irritably, "But this is something a Hufflepuff-graduated Auror gave me. I think it's not just a reminder that Peeves is nearby!"
"Speaking of Hufflepuff," Ron said, "Harry, you remember that Takeya said many times that Snape would not do anything to hurt us... Well, what did she say specifically? But in short, she believed in Snape."
"That's right. Don't you believe her at all?" Hermione rarely agreed with Ron. "Just observe her for a while. I know your doubts have not been dispelled. But we are students. If we want to deal with the teacher, we must have enough evidence."
Harry hesitated for a rare moment, he still believed in his own judgment, but when his friends didn't support him, he had to suppress his thoughts.
Evidence, yes, he needs evidence.
It's not like he hadn't thought about asking his godfather for help, but he vaguely knew that his godfather had a bad relationship with Snape, and his godfather was not in Hogwarts after all. If he insisted on intervening in this matter...it would make him feel that he was not much different from Malfoy, who only knew how to call himself dad.
So Harry prepared for the Quidditch match, tried hard to cope with his subjects, and kept an eye on Snape's various misbehaviors.
It was not until this time, after he had gotten through all the final exams and all the Quidditch games were over, that Harry finally noticed Snape's actions again - he was actually threatening Quirrell again and asking him to help him steal the Philosopher's Stone.
In addition, Hagrid had recently told him that another unicorn that had been killed for its blood had been found in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, which was heartbreaking news.
Harry, Hermione and Ron went to visit Hagrid, who was drinking non-stop because of the loss of this beautiful animal.
"Oh - I knew it, this is not the end. The guy we found a few months ago is not gone at all! He killed a unicorn, but it's not enough! He doesn't care if he was cursed once or many times, anyway, we have lost such a beautiful little guy again."
"It must have been Snape!" Harry said angrily.
"Oh, why do you say that?" Hagrid stared, "He is someone Dumbledore trusts very much, how could he hurt a unicorn?"
"See, even Hagrid believes him. You're alone now, Harry," muttered Ron.
Harry was not sure whether he was wrong or they were all deceived by Snape. He admitted that because Snape was particularly targeted at him, and he was devoted to his godfather, he was not completely rational about Snape's actions - but Snape did have many doubts!
"He must have surrendered to Voldemort and betrayed Dumbledore. He wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone and help Voldemort come back. So he keeps threatening Quirrell, because he is the only newcomer and the other professors simply ignore him!" Harry analyzed, "Quirrel wavered many times, but returned to the right path. However, not long ago, I saw him threaten Quirrell viciously again. This coincides with the time when the unicorn was killed! Unicorn blood can also help Voldemort, I think this must be the case. The semester is about to end, and he can't hold back any longer!"
"Harry, don't say that." Hagrid took another sip of wine. "How could Professor Snape want the Philosopher's Stone? Dumbledore prepared many mechanisms to protect it. Each mechanism was designed by a professor. Snape and Quirrell were involved. If he really wanted the Philosopher's Stone, then -"
"Trap?" whispered Hermione.
"A lot of professors involved?" Ron repeated.
"Oh - I shouldn't, I shouldn't tell you this!" Hagrid said angrily, "But those are things that only people Dumbledore trusts very much can participate in. Anyway, there are so many professors guarding the Philosopher's Stone together, so you don't have to worry."
"Hagrid, you were involved too, right? I know you are also trusted by Dumbledore." Hermione suddenly said, "During Halloween, we accidentally saw a big dog with three heads... and it was facing the restricted area of the corridor."
"Oh, of course. Of course I am also someone Dumbledore trusts!" Hagrid laughed, but soon realized that something was wrong. "Oh, I didn't tell you anything. Good children, don't ask about this anymore. Even if you don't trust Professor Snape, you also don't trust your headmaster, Professor McGonagall? And do you also suspect the headmasters of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw?"
Harry and his two friends exchanged a glance, and after Hagrid had said this, he became completely drunk with sorrow and worry.
Harry saw suspicion and uneasiness in his companions' eyes, 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 on the side. The wooden door burned by Norbert had been repaired. Harry hoped that Hagrid would never be so sad about losing his little animal in the future.
