In the following days, Gerald quickly absorbed the knowledge he wanted to learn like a sponge.Snape was amazed at Gerald's learning speed. He finished a book in three days, and was able to retell it without mistakes. …

To be honest, when Snape saw the summary of a large volume handed in by Gerald, the professor felt that the student must be a little out of his mind. After all, who would do such a normal person? thing.

"Okay, Holmes, I know you have wisdom beyond the average troll, but please don't put your wisdom on these things." Professor Snape curled his lips and threw the parchment on his desk, then watched as Gerald began his daily training, "Okay, now you can go, there is just enough time left for you to walk back to the lounge, and don't let me find you in the castle during curfew Strolling back and forth, do you hear me?"

"Yes, Professor, then I take my leave." Gerald said, retracting his parchment, shrinking it, and stuffing it back into his sleeve.

This hand immediately gave Severus a pause, "Holmes, you just used the silent and wandless magic, didn't you?" A little wizard in the first year was able to use this technique that even many powerful wizards could not master well , as a child from the Muggle world, not from the wizarding world... and, "You've never used it in front of me before... why did you show your difference tonight?"

Slytherin wizards are the best at brainstorming, especially as the head of Slytherin House, Severus Snape is the king of brainstorming.Well, as a spy, it is also an essential survival skill.

Gerald was taken aback for a moment, he was just used to it, Harry and Ron and the people in the dormitory didn't say anything to his behavior (no, Gerald, they just didn't notice, after all, you There are not many opportunities to use silent and wandless magic in front of them. Even if Harry noticed, he has no common sense and would not say anything.), today he came here without a schoolbag, such a large roll of parchment must have Shrink the stuffed ones, otherwise it will take a lot of trouble to take them back and forth.

"Uh, professor, don't all wizards do this?" It's natural to shrink things that are troublesome to carry.

"No, wizards won't do that at all." Because this silent and wandless technique has very high requirements for a wizard's magic control, ordinary wizards simply cannot meet this requirement.

Gerald stared at Snape wide-eyed, and then saw the professor's serious expression on his face, and immediately realized that there seemed to be some mistakes in his understanding, so he immediately asked, "Isn't this normal? Things that are difficult to hold are shrunk to carry around, otherwise why would wizards invent such spells?"

"Damn it!" Snape realized the problem immediately, "I didn't mean that! I mean why did you use silent and wandless magic?!"

Gerald was even more puzzled, "Isn't this normal?! Aren't all wizards doing this? In addition to teaching you to wave your wand around and recite spells in order to teach little wizards all the time, Other wizards should be like me... right..." Gerald looked at Snape's darkening face, and finally said uncertainly...

"Normal??!! No, this is definitely not normal!" Snape finally found out that Gerald was from the Muggle world, without even the most basic common sense! "Wizards usually use wands and spells!"

Gerald looked at Snape, and there was disbelief in his eyes: "Could it be that wizards do something and tell others?! That is to say, when defending or hiding themselves, they have to shake their wands stupidly and then Say a spell, and tell others clearly what you want to do?! Let others be wary of yourself?!"

Gerald stared at Snape, Snape stared at Gerald.

The two were speechless for a while.

"Oh, no! This is not the wizards I imagined! Wizards are definitely not so stupid!" Gerald confirmed from Snape's silence that his assumption was wrong, and he said a little desperately, "Ordinary people Why don’t you just keep talking about it all day long!” Tell me, wizards are definitely not so stupid!

Snape twitched the corner of his mouth, realizing that he was really thinking too much, and by the way, he had a new understanding of Gerald's mind: "I'm so sorry, Holmes, for breaking your expectations of wizards. Actually In fact, most wizards are so stupid! And, in your head, you should understand why you use wands and charms!" They can increase the control of magic and improve the effect of magic, which is why powerful There's a reason wizards and wizards use spells and wands too.

Gerald was silent. He rubbed his face and felt that he was taking things for granted. He said in a depressed voice, "Okay, I see. I took things for granted... I thought..."

"Don't judge the world by what you think!" Snape said, crossing his chest, he looked at Gerald, the little bean, "I have to admit that you are very smart, but your smartness is also limited, keep your feet on the ground A little, Gerald, and don't think that what you say and what you know is the truth. What you stated before, do you think that no wizards have discovered this? But, even if they did, so what, Actions that don't come down to the ground are useless!"

Gerald looked at Snape without speaking, he knew that the results of unrealistic inferences were unrealistic.It seems that when we go back, we should ask Ron about some common sense in the wizarding world that will not be written into the books-for example, most wizards wave wands or something.

"Now, go back! It's okay, don't show your cleverness in front of outsiders!" Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to be targeted.

Gerald walked out of the Slytherin Headmaster's office silently. After he came out, he looked at the time and found that there were only 10 minutes left. Well... Watching the night tour is unavoidable——Gerald closed Eyes, began to recall the structure diagram of Hogwarts.A small three-dimensional figure of Hogwarts immediately appeared in Gerald's mind.

The Hogwarts in his mind is composed of countless lines, part of the unexplored area is covered with white, and the rest of the frequently active places are clearly displayed by the lines, the movement of the stairs is regular, and the portraits in the corridor As well as the number of armor, the number of classrooms on each floor and the locations of the professors' offices are clearly marked.

"Professor McGonagall and Professor Quirrell are on patrol tonight." Gerald silently recalled the notepad on Professor Snape's desk, then...Professor McGonagall's office is on the second floor, and Professor Quirrell's The office is on the third floor, and they set off from the office in 10 minutes. According to the division of areas, Professor McGonagall will come down first and start from the cellar—because it is a patrol, so he should not go back to the secret passage—and Professor Quirrell will naturally start from the third floor. The floor began to patrol upwards, ah, and Filch, the castle manager stationed on the first floor.

Gerald began to speculate on the patrol routes of the three, which was not difficult to guess—the professors had few choices to go around the entire floor without any dead ends, while Filch had many choices. However, with that cat around, Filch might be staring at the exit and entrance of the secret passage more.

"What are you still doing here?!" Professor Snape opened the door with a dark face, "Do you need me to accompany you up now?! There are only 8 minutes until the curfew!"

"It's nothing, I just want to speculate on the activities of Professor McGonagall and Professor Quirrell, so as to prevent me from being caught before entering the lounge." Gerald replied very frankly, "It's just that Filch is a bit difficult to handle. However, as long as you can deal with the cat, everything will be fine." And cats are easy to deal with.

Snape's face went completely dark, and he found that he had nothing better to do with the little wizard in front of him.Words can't convince him at all, this Sherlock Holmes started to read and sort out materials when he was closed, and he was more than happy to let him go to work. What a waste of money!).

Snape felt that he needed to have a good talk with Dumbledore.

"Very good! I don't think you need to think so much! I'll take you back to the waiting room now, how do you feel?" Severus gave a fake smile, then put on his robe and came out.

Gerald had a hunch that it was better not to secretly provoke the sensitive and proud head of Slytherin, but... tonight...

Gerald remembered what Harry and Ron had said about the duel at noon...well...he turned to look at the Slytherin lounge at the end of the cellar.

Harry and the others shouldn't be so stupid!
