The Pacifist Necromancer of Hogwarts

Written at the front: The difference between a short story and an extra story is that the extra story follows the same story line as this article, but a bedtime story is more similar to a responsible little theater, and the timeline is not necessarily consistent with the main line of this article.

To put it simply, the bedtime story is really made up hastily during a temporary leave of absence. It is not directly related to the outline, and the timeline will jump all over the place... And because it is a bedtime story, I really tried to make the short story as possible as possible. End with sleep or night!

Snape walked through the corridor without making a sound.

This is his third night patrol this week. Pomona seemed to have heard about his night watch frequency, and asked herself with some concern today if she had brewed the water of life and death. However, Snape could swear that if it weren't for Dumbledore's request, he would rather do what those students said. , huddled in the cold, dark rooms of her own cellar sucking human blood - that's just a figure of speech, Pomona - rather than waste her time meaninglessly wandering around the castle in the middle of the night.

Snape saw several students trying to sneak into the kitchen. He squinted his eyes and recognized it. One Ravenclaw, three Gryffindors.

very good. He strode over.

After deducting five points each, Snape drove them all back to their dormitories. The students looked at the pictures in the kitchen regretfully and left hungry.

If it were Professor Anthony, he wouldn't deduct points from us at all... A Gryffindor complained to his friends in a low voice.

So is Professor Quirrell, his friend said. The last time I met him, he looked more surprised and scared than me.

Anthony and Quirrell. Snape murmured these two names gloomily in his head, the two reasons for his night patrol.

When he complained that Potter - the younger one - was as defiant and undisciplined as his father, the esteemed headmaster simply told him to keep an eye on Quirrell and Anthony, calmly, as if they were somehow to blame for Potter's rudeness Responsible as well.

Well, the principal was certainly referring to something more important. They need to figure out what the Dark Lord is doing now, how much power he has restored, and what kind of plan he has for the Sorcerer's Stone... When looking at these questions, the most suspicious thing is the Dark Wizard who came out of Azkaban (Dumbledore). Lido even utters the word necromancer) and a new stutterer who reappears and behaves erratically.

Of course they wouldn't be stupid enough to pry into the secrets of the Philosopher's Stone in daylight - Snape hoped they wouldn't, otherwise old Crabbe would no longer be the stupidest of the Dark Lord's followers, which sounded too frustrating - —So someone in the castle must monitor their movements at night.

Filch was of course very happy to help, but Snape believed that instead of counting on a squib to prevent the Dark Lord from stealing the Philosopher's Stone, it was better to believe that the Potter boy really had some strange power to defeat the Dark Lord and would miraculously point it out at the last moment. The real - well, double quotes, bad guys, end of quotes. Ah, he almost forgot, Dumbledore did believe it. (Indeed is italicized.)

Just then, he heard a very slight noise coming from the corridor on the second floor, almost like the wind blowing a dead leaf. Snape took a look and found that Quirrell's door was opened a crack. After a while, the door was closed gently again.

Quirrell, at 2:34 in the morning, went out to - the corner where Snape stood, holding his breath and listened to the noise - a little further away, at 2:34 in the morning, towards the stairwell, and then walked upstairs... Very questionable.

Just when he was about to follow, there was suddenly another very clear sound of the door opening coming from the corridor on the second floor. Snape took a few steps back so that Anthony could not find him when he came out. He watched Anthony standing in the corridor again wearing his coat and slowly closing the door. If Quirrell had run faster, Snape thought he might have been on the fifth floor admiring the view.

Snape waited gloomily for a very long time before he saw Anthony take a deep breath and slowly walk towards the stairwell.

Anthony went out at 2:35 a.m., walked around the first floor at 3:07 a.m., studied armor in the hall at 3:20 a.m., and played with the teaching telescope in the astronomy tower at 3:46 a.m. .

At four o'clock in the morning, Snape ended his fruitless night patrol, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.

Today’s short story is actually 1/4 of a chapter long…

I write this mainly because I remember what I said in the book club before about Snape being yin and yang with his new colleague Anthony when Harry was in first grade. In addition to the incompatibility (?) and various reasons, there is another reason: In this fanfic, The suspects who stole the Philosopher's Stone include both Anthony and Quirrell. Anthony is harmless to humans and animals during the day and the sun is shining brightly, but at night he can't sleep every day and wanders in the dark.

Quirrell went upstairs and Anthony went downstairs. Snape, who is responsible for keeping track: (gritting his teeth)
