[HP] Being a problem student at Hogwarts

Chapter 21 Detective Granger

The Quidditch match ended in chaos.

"He didn't catch the snitch! The ball was out of control! He almost swallowed it!" Flint roared in anger, chattering after Mrs. Hooch, "And madam, you said jumping down is against the rules! "

But it didn't work at all - Lee Jordan was already shouting the result of the game with joy, Flint's voice was no match for the commentator who cast the "loud voice" spell, and the Gryffindors were already cheering and rushing down the stands. , and began to raise the Gryffindor players.

As for Mrs. Huo Qi, who has the right to judge, she is angry and scared about the accidents that have happened one after another on the field. She wants the game to end more than anyone else, so that she can have time to check the damn broom and those crazy balls. …

"That's enough, Mr. Flint," she said with a straight face, "I don't think Mr. Harry Potter broke the rules. The results of the competition are real and valid." She pushed Flint away and asked for Harry's broomstick. , and with a hasty wave of his wand, he gathered up all the ball's remains, floated them in mid-air, and took them away.

Harry obediently handed over the broom. Although he was a little worried about the fate of the broom, after Mrs. Hooch promised to return it to him after checking it, he concentrated on immersing himself in the joy of winning the game, pulling Tom, Hermione and Ron Eun went to Hagrid's hut to celebrate.

Hermione was restless as she took the strong tea that Hagrid handed her.

Harry was happily telling the story of the game: "...I never thought it would be so easy to catch the Snitch! It rushed over and appeared in front of me, but my hands were wrapped in the swollen uniform. I I had an idea and bit it with a squeal. Oops, it rushed so hard that I almost swallowed it hahahaha..."

Tom: ...if the team uniform didn't come with other protective charms, the sudden impact would be enough to knock you out.

Ron complimented Harry on a job well done and begged Harry to lend him his broom to fly when he was free.

"Flying lessons are so boring now," he said.

"I can't stand it anymore!" Hermione shouted suddenly, then stood up suddenly and placed the tea cup heavily on the table, "I have to say it!"

Hagrid cleared his throat awkwardly and said, "I know the tea I made doesn't taste good——"

"What? Oh, Hagrid, that's not what I meant," Hermione looked at Tom, "I saw it. It was Professor Snape who did it. I read in the book that evil curses require gaze. Contact, and he kept staring at Harry without blinking, and muttering something silently... It was the curse he cast on Harry's broomstick!"

"What?" Tom was shocked, "No, does he deserve it? If he wants to harm others, wouldn't it be better to give him some medicine?"

But no one listened to him. After hearing Hermione's words, Ron slapped his thigh angrily and shouted: "I knew that old bat was not a good thing!"

Harry's surprise was also somewhat natural: "I knew he hated me, but I didn't expect him to hate me so much."

Only Hagrid sided with Tom.

"Nonsense." He held the teapot and refilled tea for everyone, "Why would Snape do such a thing?"

Hermione bit her lip, glanced at Tom, and said, "In the restricted area on the fourth floor, there was a three-headed dog standing on the trap door, and Snape's leg was bitten by a creature with three heads - —I guess he was injured because he wanted to get something guarded by the three-headed dog, maybe on Halloween."

For a moment everyone else shouted:

"What! Wasn't Snape bitten by Tom?" - Ron.

"How do you know what's in the restricted area on the fourth floor?" - Harry.

"Then why would he attack Harry who knew nothing?" - Tom.

"Enough Weasley! Stop your ridiculous fantasies!" - Tom again.

In the end, it was Hagrid who used his racial superiority to overwhelm everyone's voices: "How do you know about the three-headed Lu Wei?"

"Lu Wei with three heads?"

"Yeah - it's mine - bought it from a Greek guy I met in the pub last year - I lent it to Dumbledore to keep -"

"Guarding for what?" the children asked eagerly.

"Don't ask anymore," Hagrid closed his mouth in frustration, "I can't tell, that's the top secret, understand?"

"But Snape wanted to steal it," said Ron.

"Nonsense!" Hagrid was angry. "Snape is a professor at Hogwarts. He would never do such a thing."

"Then why did he want to kill Harry?" Hermione asked stubbornly.

"Yes," Tom frowned and asked Hermione, "even if he casts a curse -"

"That's him! I recognize him!"

"Then why did he attack Harry? Harry doesn't know anything." Tom asked.

"Oh, he doesn't know that Harry doesn't know anything." Hermione said anxiously, "We are in this together, and he must have thought that we would say it! So suppose we all know that there is a three-headed Lu Wei on the fourth floor, and he If Harry saw his injury, he would deduce that Harry knew that he was trying to steal something through the three-headed dog! And the next day, today, happened to be the Quidditch match, and there was an accident during the Quidditch match. Accidents are very common, so he took advantage of the situation and attacked Harry."

"You must be wrong." Hagrid said rudely, "I don't know why Harry's broomstick behaved like that, but Snape would never want to kill a student! But, you all listen to me Say, you are meddling in things that have nothing to do with you. This is very dangerous. Forget about the big dog and what it is guarding. This is between Dumbledore and Nico Flamel—"

"Ah ha," said Harry, "so there's a man named Nico Flamel involved, right?"

Hagrid was furious, he was angry with himself.

Hagrid told them to go back to the castle and would not say another word to them.

On the way back to the castle, Ron was still asking: "How do you know there are big dogs in the restricted area on the fourth floor?"

Tom ignored him and was discussing with Hermione: "I still think there is a problem with your reasoning. First of all, we were not caught wandering that night, how did he know that we had been to the restricted area on the fourth floor? Secondly, Harry said he saw It was Filch who applied the medicine to him. If Professor Snape had something in his heart, how could he dare to show the wound to others?"

"You two? Going on a night out? And went to the restricted area on the fourth floor?" Harry was shocked by this. He thought these two good students were very honest.

Hermione had already thought about Tom's question.

She said: "We made quite a lot of noise during our night outing. Both Filch and Peeves knew that someone was near the restricted area that night, and we quickly went to Filch to advise him on closing the corridor -"

"——Huh? You were the one who sealed the corridor?" Ron interjected.

Hermione ignored him and continued: "It was not difficult for Filch to deduce that it was the two of us who wandered at night, and we had also been to the corridor on the fourth floor. He gave Snape medicine, which shows that they are a couple. Man, if Filch knows, Snape knows."

"Professor Snape is the Potions professor. Wouldn't it be more convenient for him and Filch to poison him?" Tom asked.

"I've read books on criminal psychology," Hermione said confidently. "Many criminals commit crimes of passion and commit crimes as soon as their brains get hot."

"But," she looked worried, "if he failed this time, he might make a plan first before taking action. If I guess correctly, it will not only be Harry who will be in danger next, but also Harry. Those of us who know about it will be in a very bad situation."

"If you can tell that Snape cast the curse, I think there should be more than one witness," Tom said. "Mrs. Hooch is also investigating this matter. If it is really him, he had no choice but to escape."

"What about the time difference?" Hermione retorted, "Besides, he is a teacher, so our testimony may not be accepted, but it will easily alert the enemy. And his partner Filch is also the castle administrator... Alas, I don't even think about it. Dare you go back to the castle! I wonder if Hagrid is willing to let us stay at his place for a few days."

"Hagrid won't agree to that," said Harry frustratedly, "He's angry.
