Hogwarts in the shadows

Professor Quirrell had indeed approached him a few times since the troll incident, and each time he had asked for his opinion on Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Although he didn't think much of Quirrell, he was a professor after all, so he tried to be patient and say a few perfunctory words to him.

But Professor Quirrell seemed to be fine, except for the strong smell of garlic.

However, he trusted Snape far more than Professor Quirrell.

"Okay, professor." Hephis nodded to show that he understood.

"Stay alert, Quirrell is not as simple as you think." Professor Snape emphasized again.

"I understand, Professor."

Snape didn't say anything else, but just started correcting the homework.

Hephis continued to brew the potion.

The entire office returned to peace again.

After the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Hephis was stopped by Professor Quirrell again.

"Hephis, your magical talent is outstanding." Professor Quirrell's voice was filled with appreciation.

"Thank you, Professor," Hephis responded politely.

"If you wish, I can provide you with additional instruction in Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Hephis was a little confused. Professor Quirrell spoke very fluently, so how come he didn't stutter anymore?

"I'm sorry, Professor, my schedule is already fully booked with confinement." Hephis declined politely.

"I know Severus won't keep you in detention forever. I think you'll have time soon." Professor Quirrell was not surprised.

"Okay, Professor Quirrell. If I have the chance, I will definitely ask you for advice." Hephis had no choice but to agree vaguely.

Two days ago, Snape had just told him to stay away from Professor Quirrell.

It was such a coincidence that Quirrell invited me.

Professor Quirrell took out a book and handed it to Hephes.

"The current courses may be too simple for you. I think this book can help you."

Hephis took the book and looked at it. There was no name on the black cover.

"Thank you, Professor Quirrell."

"Okay, let's go eat! You probably have astronomy class tonight."

"Yes, Professor Quirrell."

Hephis left the classroom and weighed the book in his hand. These professors really liked to give him books!

After he put the books into his small bag, he walked quickly towards the auditorium.

The evening astronomy class was attended by students from four colleges, so he could hang out with Hermione again and look at the stars and the moon.

Hephaestus's astronomical knowledge was copied from the talented students of Imperial College London.

Without exaggerating, Professor Sinistra knew less about astronomy than he did.

The star maps he drew by hand are more accurate than those in textbooks.

Professor Sinistra completely let Hephis do what he wanted.

However, he would keep every star map that Hephis handed over carefully.

He also explained to Hephis that he would publish a new astronomy book as co-author.

Of course Hephis readily agreed. Anyone who doesn't make money is a fool. As for the Muggles having better ones, it's none of his business.

So astronomy is now Hephis and Hermione's favorite class.

They are now hiding in a corner looking at the stars.

"Hephis..." Hermione hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Hephis asked lazily, leaning on Hermione's shoulder.

"That's it..." Hermione was still a little hesitant.

"Hermione, is there anything you can't tell me? You're still hiding a secret." Hephis teased.

"You've been in detention with Professor Snape a lot lately. Have you noticed anything unusual about him?"

"Snape? Abnormal? What do you mean?" Hephesus looked at Hermione in confusion.

Because the two were so close, the breath of Hephis's words blew directly into Hermione's ears.

Hermione's little face turned red and she gently pushed Hephis's head.

"It was Harry who discovered that Professor Snape's leg was injured, and it was related to the room at the corner of the fourth floor." Hermione whispered.

"I know about Snape's injury! But how did you know that this is related to the fourth floor?"

"Harry overheard."

"That doesn't prove anything. Snape is a professor at the school after all. Maybe he was accidentally injured during a routine inspection."

"We also suspect that Professor Snape wants to hurt Harry." Hermione hesitated but said.

"Snape hurt Harry? Are you crazy?" Hepherdess widened his eyes and looked at Hermione in disbelief.

"During the Quidditch match two days ago, Professor Snape cast a spell on Harry's broom, trying to kill Harry."

"Hermione, that's impossible. Because..."

Hermione interrupted Hephis directly, "Hephis, I know that Professor Snape is your dean and has taught you a lot of knowledge in private."

She paused, then continued, "I was the one who set the fire under Professor Snape's chair, and then Harry's broom returned to normal."

Although Hephis didn't remember much about the plot of "Harry Potter", he knew quite a bit about Snape.

This is all thanks to his girlfriend in his previous life.

Once after they watched a movie, his girlfriend in the previous life asked him while crying.

Will it be like Snape's love for Lily Evans, which will never change throughout his life?

During that time, she was like a possessed person, browsing information related to Snape on the Internet every day.

He loved to follow Hephiskop whenever he had nothing to do, even in bed, which made Hephis remember it vividly.

Snape had a grudge against Harry's father because of his wife being stolen from him.

But Lily Evans is Harry's mother, and even Snape died for Harry in the end. She is an absolutely tragic character.

"Hermione, Snape will never harm Harry." Hepherdess looked at Hermione seriously.

"But......"

Hermione tried to argue, but Hephis interrupted her.

"Hermione, listen to me." Hephis organized his words.

"Hermione, I shouldn't have been the one to say this. I just didn't expect your misunderstanding of Snape to be so great."

"You don't know much about the relationship between Snape and Harry's parents."

"Snape and Lily Evans, Harry's mother."

"The two have always been very good friends, and can even be said to be childhood sweethearts."

"If it weren't for Harry's father, James Potter, stealing his love, they would be a couple now."

"Why? What exactly happened between them?" Hermione widened her eyes, the fire of gossip burning in her heart.

"I don't know exactly what happened, but I know that Professor Snape has never forgotten Lily. Even though she is dead, Snape still loves Lily."

Hermione was silent for a while. Although she was very touched by this emotion, she still analyzed it rationally.

She spoke slowly, "But Professor Snape and Harry's father have a grudge against each other for stealing his wife, so it's understandable that he would hurt Harry."

"Hermione, even if Snape hates Harry's father, he will only hate Harry. But he will never hurt Harry, and he won't even allow others to hurt Harry, because Harry is Lily's child."

Hephis took Hermione's hand and said firmly: "Love will continue. Love the house and love the dog."
