Hogwarts: I inherited my legacy

Harry seemed to be in a very good mental state at the moment, so they did not waste too much time and quickly arrived at the door of the principal's office on the eighth floor.

As they stood in front of the huge gargoyle sculpture, they seemed to faintly hear a quarrel coming from inside the door.

Could it be that there is someone else in this room?

The three of them couldn't help but feel a little confused, but at this moment they had no time to investigate the reasons.

Ron then shouted out the door-opening spell that Raven had just told him: "Lily"

Unexpectedly, the gargoyle responded, "The password is correct."

This is rare because usually gargoyles will just silently get out of the way without any verbal communication.

Obviously, it is in a particularly good mood today.

Dumbledore had been gone for so long that the gargoyle statue usually only came into contact with two people during that time.

One of them was a passerby who appeared in an inexplicable identity as the "acting principal". He always ordered it to get out of the way in an arrogant tone.

The other one is the guy who never uses passwords.

He could either choose to pry open the door from outside the tower and enter the principal's office - which had nothing to do with the gargoyle itself, or just walk in with a swagger, the main point being a rebellion.

Oh, yeah, that guy actually did use passwords, when he was first in fifth grade, but that was over a hundred years ago.

Now, a professor who has the authority to set passwords has finally set the password.

Moreover, it was a rare occasion that a visitor actually used the password to open the door, which made the gargoyle feel extremely excited and ecstatic.

......

As if the sound of the gargoyle moving was heard, the originally unclear quarreling sound suddenly stopped.

When Harry and the other two walked into the room, they saw Raven fiddling with Dumbledore's burial objects.

However, what is puzzling is that all of Dumbledore's candies had been eaten by Raven!

Before they had time to take a closer look, an unexpected surprise appeared before their eyes - there was a special guest in the principal's office.

"Professor Snape? You're back? When did you come back?"

Harry exclaimed in surprise, his face filled with uncontrollable joy.

In contrast, Neville and Ron seemed a little scared.

After all, it was not only that George and Fred often spoke ill of Snape, but even Charlie, who was always kind and gentle, was dissatisfied with Snape.

Therefore, Ron has always kept a certain distance from Harry's teacher.

Neville's feelings for Snape were even more profound.

In Gryffindor house, the student Snape hated the most was probably Neville, who was often targeted by Snape.

Snape gave Harry a "gentle" smile - if that kind of smile that was just a slight twitch at the corners of his mouth could be called a smile...

Anyway, Ron and Neville didn't think it was a real smile.

As one of Snape's favorite students, Harry knew very well that at this moment, Snape's expression could be considered very happy.

Snape only nodded slightly at Harry, but did not directly respond to the question raised by Harry.

Instead, he asked with his signature gloomy voice,

"Did you feel something was wrong just now?"

After a brief pause, he added:

"Do you think the problem is at the soul level?"

These contents are actually the information that Ron just passed to Raven through the intercom... pager.

Snape was obviously present at the time.

Hearing Snape's question,

Harry nodded quickly and answered truthfully,

"Before leaving, Headmaster Dumbledore reminded me that there might be some potential problems with my soul, and asked me to pay more attention to the relevant situation. In order to better master the art of brain occlusion and gain a deeper understanding of the soul realm, more relevant knowledge must be acquired. That is why I inferred that the problem I encountered just now is very likely to involve the soul."
