Professor HP is not a pedophile

Severus quickly ran up the fourth floor and passed the one-eyed witch statue into the secret passage. He heard faint footsteps ahead, cast himself a feather foot curse and continued to catch up.

He didn't know why Pediru used this secret passage instead of using the Portkey, but at this moment he was extremely grateful for it. If Pediru used the Portkey to take Harry away, there would really be nowhere to be found up.

This passage is winding and winding, no different from a rabbit's tunnel.Given Severus' height, it was a bit difficult to walk. He lowered his head and chased forward all the way. Due to the uneven ground, he stumbled from time to time, the light of his wand was a little weak, and the sound of footsteps in front of him disappeared several times. Coupled with the fact that he was very worried, he was really very irritable, and his anger towards Pedilou also increased steadily.

After chasing for about half an hour, he seemed to have caught up. He could hear footsteps not far away, but he couldn't see anyone at all.In order to prevent being discovered by Pediru and doing something bad to Harry, he extinguished the light of his wand.After chasing for a while, the channel went up.

Ten minutes later, he was at the foot of a broken stone step that stretched out of sight above him.The light was still dim, and there was still nothing to see ahead, but footsteps and breathing could be heard.

The stone steps were very long, and Severus didn't have the patience to count how many steps there were. Not long after, there was a "squeak" from above, a trap door was opened upwards, and then a light came down, he stopped quickly Without moving, he cast a silent disillusionment spell on himself.Then he heard footsteps climbing up.

He moved over slowly, poked his head out of the hole and looked up, first saw a cellar full of wooden chairs and wooden boxes, and then saw a transparent figure with distorted light, but he knew it was not transparent, It's just the visual effect produced by the Disillusionment Charm. Pedirou turned his body into the same color as the surrounding environment. When he walked around, those colors would be slightly distorted, which made Severus judge his position.

The damn mouse put Harry, who was also under the Disillusionment Charm, on the floor, and sat down on the floor, gasping for breath.

Then Pedirou cursed darkly in a low voice: "Damn Lestrange! Damn Dolohov! I'll prove it! I'll prove I'm more useful than you! I got Harry Potter I will make the master believe me! Even if you don’t give me the door key, I can do it! None of you know this secret passage!”

It was only then that Severus realized that this was Pedirou's personal action.Seeing that Pedilu was still panting and resting, he stepped back a few steps gently, cast a silencing spell around himself, and then whispered to Hai Erbo who was coiled on his arm: "Hai Erbo, The next step is up to you, you will climb up quietly later, and then petrify that person, remember it is petrification, don’t stare at him to death, just nod when you understand.”

Hai Erbo shook his head up and down, and then shrunk his body down smartly.

Severus put it on the top step, let it swim up, and poked his head out to watch.

Haierbo slid silently in front of Pedilu. For snakes that use thermal induction to "see" things, the disillusionment spell doesn't work at all.It suddenly raised its head, turned into a big snake as thick as a human thigh, and stretched its head in front of Pediru.

"Ah—" Pedillo's screams stopped abruptly, and then his Disillusionment Charm completely failed, revealing his petrified and completely rigid body.

Severus breathed a sigh of relief, carefully observed his surroundings, then climbed out of the trapdoor and ran to his side in almost three steps in two steps, reached out and groped, and finally touched Harry.He quickly lifted the Disillusionment Charm on Harry, checked him up and down, found no signs of injury, and then uncontrollably hugged him tightly into his arms.

The irritability and anxiety of more than an hour dissipated, and the heart seemed to resume beating at this time, beating fast and fast, and the ecstasy of losing and regaining hit him as if his whole body had lost strength, and he couldn't stand up for a while.After the ecstasy, there was a burst of fear. If he didn't arrive in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this moment, Dumbledore arrived in a hurry. Considering the physical strength of an old man, he was actually quite fast.

"Severus, have you solved it?" Dumbledore looked at him in surprise, and then heaved a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, you arrived."

"Hmph, it will be too late for you to come here!" Severus snorted coldly, stood up holding Harry who was still in a coma, and said hello to Hai Erbo, "Hai Erbo, let's go back."

Dumbledore blushed and said dully, "Shouldn't you wake up little Harry first?"

Severus gave him a contemptuous look, "Then let him walk through the passage just now? What do you think? Can he survive with his physical strength?" He glanced at the petrified Pediru and said, "This mouse is given to you."

Then he took Haierbo down the steps and walked back along the passage.

"If you feel sorry for you, just say it..." Dumbledore touched his nose, used the Levitation Charm to levitate Pediru and followed him, and closed the trap door smoothly.

The passage was still bumpy, and Severus hugged his small body tightly in his arms, trying to walk as smoothly as possible.After Harry grew taller, he could no longer easily hold him with one hand like a child, so he had to hold him horizontally to barely let the wand emit a little light to illuminate the road.

More than an hour later they were back in the fourth-floor corridor of Hogwarts.

"So, I'll take Peter back for interrogation first?" Dumbledore asked.

Severus gave the damn mouse a cold look, moved his lips, "As you wish." Then he strode towards the cellar with Harry in his arms, Haibo flicked his tail on the mouse viciously, and then followed him.

Back in the cellar, Severus laid Harry flat on the sofa, found a bottle of sobriety potion and poured it down for him. He made up his mind that when the little thing woke up, he must teach him a lesson, and he couldn't let this The little thing ran around without any sense of crisis!

The little thing's curled eyelashes trembled, then he opened his eyes, and saw his professor's black face above his head at a glance.

"Huh?! Professor!" The little thing widened his eyes in surprise, "Why..." Then he suddenly realized, "So I was dreaming just now..."

Severus' face darkened even more, "What dream?! You thought you were dreaming when Peter Pediru captured you? Didn't I tell you not to run around at night? Do you have any brains? If it weren't for me You don't know what you've become by now! How dare you call it a dream!"

The more he talked, the angrier he got, he simply grabbed the little thing and put it on his lap, and slapped him hard on the buttocks, "Speak! Do you dare to run around?"

"What?" Harry was stunned by the blow, and turned to look at him in bewilderment and aggrieved, "No, isn't it a dream?"

Severus hit him again in anger, "How dare you say that! It's nothing, what are you doing out there! Are you trying to kill me?"

"Ah! It hurts!" The little boy burst into tears, "It hurts..."

Severus hugged him helplessly and held him tightly in his arms, feeling really powerless in his heart.He was not willing to continue beating, and was angry with him for running out without permission, showing a trace of fatigue on his face.

"Professor..." the little thing called him worriedly, "I'm sorry, you seem very sad..."

I am more than sad!Severus almost wanted to yell at him like that, but he was afraid that he would be afraid of himself again after yelling, and his teeth were about to gnaw.

"Professor, what's the matter with you?" Harry was so worried that he didn't know what to do.

Severus put his head on his neck, and said almost beggingly, "Don't run around anymore, okay? You don't know how much I worry about you. I chased you for a long time, and a few times I almost thought I couldn't catch up He is gone, if you are really taken away..."

"So I was really taken away? I, I just remember seeing that scoundrel after I ran out, and then I was knocked out by him..." Harry finally came to his senses, shrinking into his arms with a look of fear on his face, "I'm sorry Professor, I made you worry again..."

Severus said nothing, just hugged him tighter.

Harry suddenly remembered what Sirius said before, "Snape has done a lot for you", and then began to speculate whether the professor secretly made a lot of efforts to protect his safety. Although he had been warned that it was not safe outside, But because he had never faced any danger directly, he had no idea all the time, and now he realized that the reason why he was able to live so easily was probably all because the professor was protecting him and did not let the danger reach him.Thinking of this, Harry suddenly felt a tight pain in his chest, and his eyes were a little hot.

He put his arms around Severus' neck and apologized with a sob: "I'm sorry, professor, I'm sorry, I didn't know you worked so hard... I will work hard to learn magic well in the future, and I will listen to you and never let you So hard, I will work hard to grow up..."

He couldn't help crying while apologizing, thinking that the professor had faced many dangers instead of him when he didn't know, he felt a severe pain in his chest, and the pain caused tears to flow down involuntarily.

"I will work hard to grow up..." He kept repeating this sentence, crying so hard that his body trembled a little.

Severus was stunned when he saw his little thing crying so hard all of a sudden, it took him a long time to react, and he couldn't laugh or cry, "Why did you cry so hard all of a sudden? It didn't happen when I beat you just now."

The little thing sobbed and said, "It hurts..."

"Where does it hurt?" Severus tensed.

The little thing pointed to his chest with tears in his eyes, "It hurts here..."

"What did that damn rat do to you?" Severus frowned. "Does it hurt?"

"Well, when I think of the professor working so hard for me, it hurts..." The little thing shed tears and hugged his neck tightly.

Severus softened in his heart, and wiped his tears gently, "How can it be hard work, how can it be considered hard..."

"I must grow up quickly!" Harry swore loudly with red eyes.

"Okay," Severus smiled and kissed his forehead, "I'll wait for you to grow up..."
