Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Harry paled a little, but it wasn't because Snape deducted points from Gryffindor -

What's more, the points he was deducted this time were relatively the least.

Harry panicked because Snape was walking towards the one-eyed witch statue...

He had just finished chanting the spell to separate the left and right sides and hadn't had time to crawl in.

At this moment, every moment of Snape's slow pace seemed to be infinitely stretched.

“Ah…what is this…?”

Snape's eyes lit up, and there was a hint of joy in his smooth voice.

"A...secret passage? Hmm?"

Harry's breathing stagnated, his eyes went dark, and he felt that he would not be able to escape death today.

Help!

His pleading eyes slowly moved towards Anriel.

And then... Harry was even more desperate -

The Marauder's Map, on which the writing had not yet been erased, was spread out in Anriel's hands... He also showed a very interested expression on his face.

Harry wondered, could this situation be any worse than it was now?!

There should be no more, right?

should……?

"Potter? And Severus and Anriel? What are you doing here?"

A calm female voice came.

"Ah...what a coincidence, Minerva..."

A sinister smile appeared on Snape's face.

The last bit of color drained from Harry's face.

Let him die, quickly and neatly.

"We seem to have come across... something very interesting."

Snape's "we" obviously refers to Anriel and himself, and at most Professor McGonagall.

"Let's see...Minerva."

Snape stepped aside, revealing a crack in the statue of the one-eyed, hunchbacked witch behind him.

The crack was big enough for a person to crawl into, and there was a pitch-black tunnel underneath.

Professor McGonagall's mouth dropped open.

Surprise and anger appeared on her face at the same time.

"Mr. Potter...can you give me a reasonable explanation?"

Professor McGonagall turned to Harry with a stern and extremely serious expression and asked.

Harry turned pale and stammered:

"I... I don't know... Professor, I..."

Anriel watched this scene with great interest.

Harry Potter couldn't be considered unlucky this time - he was simply possessed by a jinx:

Why was Minerva McGonagall in the corridor on the fourth floor?

You have to know that there are no particularly interesting facilities on the fourth floor of Hogwarts, no matter who you are -

Two years ago, the abandoned classroom where the Philosopher's Stone was kept was on the fourth floor, and there were many abandoned classrooms on this floor.

There is also a trophy display room, which displays all kinds of boring history. Most people come here for the first time because they were punished by Filch to do voluntary labor for free.

Finally, it was the Charms classroom.

besides……

Sorry, there is really nothing else on the fourth floor.

The reason why Minerva McGonagall appeared on the fourth floor today was related to the last facility mentioned above -

She came to the Charms classroom to look for Professor Flitwick.

The reason...is related to Sirius.

Because the last time Sirius broke into the Gryffindor common room, he destroyed the lion head door knocker and the hole in the mural.

Professor McGonagall came to ask Professor Flitwick to cast a few more protective spells.

Unfortunately, when passing by, McGonagall heard Snape's greasy voice...

Old enemy.

Maybe Snape is bullying the children in their school right now...

With this in mind, Minerva McGonagall turned the corner of the stairs and rushed over.

Okay, very good...

"Then let us guess...where does this mysterious passage lead to?"

Snape bent down and picked up the dirt on the ground.

"I think there's a high probability that it's Hogsmeade?"

Snape tried it, drew his wand, and slowly walked into the crack.

Anriel knew exactly what Snape was thinking now——

From Snape's perspective, all he needed was to ensure that Harry Potter did not die. As for his happiness...

What does that have to do with Snape?

It would be better to kill Snape directly than to let this man with James Potter's face be happy.

It was undoubtedly a great temptation for Snape to ground Harry.

And there's not a lot of risk.

Anyway, if the person on the other side really was a Remus Lupin who was transforming into a werewolf... Snape would have known that passage a long time ago, right?

"let me see……"

Snape's voice was getting farther and farther away from the entrance.

Harry dared not move, because Professor McGonagall was staring at him with a murderous look.

In the empty passage, the creaking sound of wooden boards could be heard.

Perhaps Snape pushed the floor away—

It's the floor of Honeydukes' basement storage room.

After a while, Snape returned.

Anriel shrugged. He probably knew what was waiting for Harry.

But that had nothing to do with him.

He put the Marauder's Map in his pocket and turned to Professor McGonagall:

"That's alright, I'll leave first...

At least I think that since the Heads of Gryffindor and Slytherin are here, there should be nothing for me to do."

The two deans nodded, their attention was not on Anriel at all——

Dealing with Harry Potter was obviously necessary, and Minerva McGonagall was not the kind of professor who would take sides in such matters.

The question now is, how to deal with it and to what extent?

That would require Snape and McGonagall to argue.

......

“Okay…Okay.”

Snape took the lead in inviting a fight, his lips twisted into a smile that Harry thought was extremely evil:

"All of us, even the Minister of Magic, were trying to protect the great... Harry Potter, from being killed by a madman who had escaped from Azkaban...

But now it seems that this is unnecessary? "

Snape began to circle Harry.

"The great Harry Potter goes wherever he wants..."

He turned to Mag and waved something in his hand:

"Look, Minerva—Honeydukes!

When everyone was busy with Sirius Black's affairs, this most protected child actually sneaked into Honeydukes' underground storage room through the secret passage of the school!

Compared with this, any possible theft is a small matter."

Good opening, flash R and follow.

Snape's words were logically clear, and at the end, seemingly unintentionally, he added another charge to Harry's crime.

The speculation is reasonable.

The entrance to your passage is in someone else's underground storage room. If the theft occurs, it's not your fault. Do you also blame Sirius Black?

Mag had no way to fight back.

The only thing she could say was -

"Severus, I understand, thank you...

But Potter is still a Gryffindor child -

This means that how to deal with him will probably be decided by me, so you don't have to worry about it."
