if i am not me

Although it was nothing on the surface, Neville was always a little uneasy after that incident. Unfortunately, the exams would not stop coming because of his uneasiness. Fortunately, his usual seriousness was perfectly reflected at this time, even He and Ron, who were most afraid of this, had an easier time in the exam.

After finishing the last subject, the four of them strolled along the shore of the Black Lake except for Harry, who suddenly had nothing to do because Neville left ahead of time.The weather is very hot, but this will not affect everyone's happy mood. "Oh, Harry, I'm sure my mum will be very pleased with my report card." Ron said triumphantly, even hopping around like a big rabbit.Beside him, Hermione was flipping through the book while walking, and Draco was facing the answer of the exam, "This exam is much simpler than I imagined, if I knew it, I would not have reviewed the Werewolf Management Act of 1637." " and the chapters of "The Event of the Elven Rebellion."

Her words made the veins on Draco's forehead twitch a few times, and Harry couldn't help giggling when he saw this scene. "Hermione," said Ron, who also couldn't stand it, winking at Harry and saying, "We'll have a week to wait for the test results, so now we should talk about how to pass the time. "As he spoke, he relaxed his limbs and spread himself out on the soft grass, "In such a great weather..."

"How about we borrow a broom and play Quidditch?" Looking up at the brilliant sunshine overhead, Harry suggested with a smile, sweating is always the most necessary thing for a boy.

"Very good." Draco agreed with both hands. He would have wanted to play a good game of Quidditch a long time ago, if it wasn't because he was still a damn first year.And Ron also gave this suggestion the most positive response, and he was already calculating the chances of borrowing a broom from the twins.

Seeing this, Hermione rolled her eyes. She really didn't understand why that kind of dangerous sport was so admired by boys—although it seemed that it was indeed exciting and fun, the premise was that it seemed that it would be difficult for her to play in person. It is absolutely impossible.

When the afternoon sun made the four of them bathed in a more relaxed state of mind, but this atmosphere could not be maintained, because a boy with a flustered expression rushed to their side - it was Neville.

"Hey, buddy, what's the rush?" Ron was puzzled by the panting Neville, who didn't understand what else could make Neville like this now that the exams were over.Stamping his feet anxiously, Neville ignored Harry and Drake's presence, and said directly, "Ron, Hermione, come with me."

Hearing this, the four of them were taken aback for a moment, did something really happen...?Otherwise Neville would not have used that tone.

"No, it just so happens that Drake and I are going back to change our clothes, you can just say it here." Standing up to stop the three of them from leaving, Harry pulled Drake and waved to them with a smile, "It's so hot today That's enough, you have to pay attention." After finishing speaking, he left the place with a smile on his indifferent face, leaving them a relatively quiet space.

"What's going on?" Ron glanced apologetically at Harry and Drake's leaving back, and Ron turned his gaze back to Neville.

Seeing that there was no one around, Neville hastily whispered his conjecture. "...Dumbledore is not at school, I'm worried that Snape is going to attack." These days they have been paying attention to the movement of the Philosopher's Stone, so whenever there is any trouble, Neville will be aware of it immediately.

These words made both Hermione and Ron feel nervous, "Oh my God. Do the other teachers know?" Hermione's first reaction was to ask the teacher to stop it. In her opinion, the teacher would not ignore this kind of thing of.

"I told Professor McGonagall, but she didn't believe me." Neville looked aggrieved and sad, thinking of what Professor McGonagall said just now, he felt a little angry in his heart.

In this way, the teacher is hopeless. Hermione frowned, and after a long pause, she said decisively, "Neville, you are going to send an owl to Professor Dumbledore now. And Ron, follow me to monitor Sneaker." general."

"Send an owl?"

"Spying on Snape?"

Neville and Ron asked their own questions in unison, which made Hermione roll her eyes indecently, "Who else can stop Snape now except Professor Dumbledore? We have to get him back as soon as possible, and we can Find Snape as soon as you get back!" Hermione urged, getting up. "Hurry up, Neville, we don't have much time." After speaking, she was already 5 meters away.

The atrium in the afternoon was full of students in groups of three or five, so they didn't pay too much attention to the three first-year students hurrying past, except for the two figures in the shadows.

"I heard terrible news..." Stroking a strand of hair hanging from his forehead, the beautiful boy with platinum hair said helplessly, but the sparkle in those blue eyes was undisguised. Interest and excitement.

"Yeah, we guessed correctly. It seems that there will be a good show tonight."

Curling the corners of his mouth, Draco licked his somewhat dry lips, and looked in the direction where the backs of the three disappeared. "you sure?"

"Of course! If this was premeditated..." Harry said confidently, crossing his arms. "And don't say you're not interested, Draco."

"Well, I admit that I'm quite curious..." Draco nodded honestly rarely. I have to say that Hagrid's three-headed dog is really attractive, not to mention that it seems to be a dog from what they heard. There are many more interesting things, although they are also dangerous...

Drake's confession made Harry chuckle pleasantly, and put a hand on Drake's shoulder, Harry raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter, let's go, we have to get ready too."

Coming out of the owl shed, Neville was still in a daze for a moment, and after standing there for a long while, he turned around and walked towards the castle—no matter what happened next, he had to meet Ron and Hermione first.

But the development of things was always beyond his expectation. He didn't find Ron and Hermione. Instead, in the hall, he met Snape who was supposed to be under the surveillance of his two friends.Snape never concealed his ill intentions towards Neville, which made Neville always instinctively want to avoid him, but it was too late, "Good afternoon," Snape walked to Naville with a sullen smile. In front of Wei, "You shouldn't stay in the house in such a fine weather."

"I..." Neville was visibly taken aback, he didn't expect Snape to come up and talk to him.

"I advise you to be careful." As if enjoying Neville's expression at the moment, Snape smiled more cheerfully, "Wandering around like this, others will think you are going to do something bad again. And Gryffindor has already It’s impossible to lose points again, right?”

Hearing this, Neville's face instantly turned red like a big apple, but Snape didn't intend to stop his speech, "Longbottom, be alert. I can guarantee that if you dare to wander around at night again, you will definitely be expelled." Yes." With a malicious smile on his face, Snape strode towards the staff office without waiting for Neville's reaction without looking back, leaving only a deep shadow on his back.

Seeing the back of Snape's head getting smaller and smaller, Neville let out a heavy breath. At this time, Hermione and Neville who ran towards him because of Snape's departure also came to his side. "We failed." Hermione said anxiously, "Snape seems to be wary of us..."

Hearing her words, Neville couldn't help letting out a groan, he really came here for whatever he was afraid of.But now is not the time to be depressed. Thinking of this, a determined look appeared on Neville's face, "We must get the Philosopher's Stone before Snape," he said slowly but clearly. "Just tonight, he will definitely do it. There is no better opportunity than now..."

"Are you crazy?" Neville's words made Ron scream, and Hermione also expressed objection, "If you are found out, you will definitely be kicked out of school!"

"So what?" Hearing this, Neville frowned and shouted. "Don't you understand? Once Snape gets the stone, Voldemort will come back! Do you think Hogwarts will be able to expel me by then? He will destroy it, or turn it into It's a dirty school. Losing points doesn't matter anymore, even if Gryffindor won the house cup, he won't make it difficult for you or your family. If I get that stone I was caught before, and I will go home and wait for Voldemort to come to me. In fact, I just did this a little earlier, because I will not give in to evil forces! I will go to that road tonight Checkpoint, you two stop trying to persuade me, Voldemort killed my parents, I will not let him have a chance to hurt others." Neville said in a sharp tone he had never had before, speaking at an astonishingly fast speed .

Staring at Neville dumbfounded, Hermione and Ron exchanged glances, and said slowly, "You're right, Neville." Hermione whispered.

Seeing their expressions change, Neville knew that he had persuaded them, and the serious expression on his face eased a little. "I'll use the invisibility cloak," he said, "fortunately, I just got it back again."

"Can it cover the three of us?" Ron, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help but speak at this moment. In his opinion, how to sneak into that room to avoid Hagrid's three-headed dog was a difficult problem.

"Three people?" Ron's question puzzled Neville, so he stared blankly at the red-haired boy who was also looking at him.Of course Ron didn't miss the astonishment on Neville's face, he just rolled his eyes at him, and he said dissatisfiedly, "Don't be stupid, do you think we will let you go on an adventure alone?"

"Of course not," Hermione said proudly, tossing her disheveled curly hair, "and with us here, you will find the Philosopher's Stone faster. Ah, but I'm going to the library now, maybe And find something useful."

Neville, who understood his friends' personalities, knew that he could not change their decisions, but he still couldn't restrain himself from saying, "But if we are arrested, you will also be kicked out of the school." If there is something he does not want to see, Except for Voldemort's resurrection, I'm afraid Ron and Hermione were implicated because of his own relationship.

"No," Hermione smiled rather easily at the question. "Professor Flitwick secretly told me that I got a 120 in his exam. So, I don't think he would be willing to let me leave the school."
