Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard - Chapter 945
Since the news of Voldemort’s defeat and escape spread, Hogwarts has become lively, and more and more people, whether known or unknown, have come from all directions.
Some of these people are parents of students, some come to inquire about the news, and some are just brave enough to watch the fun… After all, it is related to Voldemort, and ordinary people really don’t dare to join in the fun.
And when these people come to Hogwarts and find that the news is true and Voldemort has really escaped, they will immediately tell others excitedly about the news.
This also makes more and more people come to school, and a large number of wizards gather together, which seems chaotic.
If there is any quiet place in Hogwarts today, it is probably only the Forbidden Forest. The bright sunshine passes through the lush forest and sprinkles on the thick fallen leaves.
The dragon soars in the sky, but it does not alarm the castle of Hogwarts next door. The people there seem to be unable to see the situation here, and they are still chatting or celebrating, calmly doing their own things.
“As you can see, this is the truth of the matter.”
In the garden, Kyle looked at Connor with tears on her face and whispered, “Professor Snape is not a complete Death Eater. He is actually on our side and is in a more dangerous situation.”
Connor woke up half an hour ago and sat there in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
Kyle just happened to come in with a Pensieve at this time, letting her see the truth… or to be precise, part of the truth.
Before coming back here, Kyle made some slight modifications to Snape’s memory, deleting some not-so-good scenes, such as the part he almost experienced.
He thought Snape probably didn’t want Connor to see the grievances and black history of his school days.
Kyle wanted to divide the memory directly in half, but later found that it didn’t work, because many things couldn’t get around a key person… Lily Evans.
If the school life was missing, Snape’s behavior of agreeing to be an undercover Death Eater would seem very strange, and there was no logic at all, and the authenticity would be greatly reduced.
So Kyle had to give up this seemingly simple method and switch to a more troublesome one.
For this decision, he spent a lot of effort to modify the content that Connor is reading now, which is logical and can barely maintain the memory of Snape’s dignity as an elder, otherwise he would have come back long ago.
To be honest, he has done this much. If Snape targets him again in the future, it will be considered a problem of character.
Of course, the premise is that he can survive.
Kyle turned his head to look at Connor, and she happened to look over.
“I actually know.” Connor wiped her red eyes, “That’s what I thought when I first saw him in the astronomy tower, but I didn’t believe it at the time, thinking it was just my wishful thinking.”
“Is it possible that it’s just your wishful thinking…” Kyle looked at her and said carefully:
“Professor Snape has been undercover as a Death Eater for more than ten years without being discovered. How could you see through him at a glance?”
“Maybe, I can’t say for sure.” Connor stared at the Pensieve, “And I didn’t see through him either. I just felt that his eyes were different from those of other Death Eaters.”
“Eyes?”
“Yeah.” Connor nodded, “When he looked at Bill and the others, his eyes were very calm, without the madness and hatred in the eyes of other Death Eaters.”
“Is… that so?” Kyle pursed his lips and didn’t comment.
He really couldn’t tell whether it was true or not.
Not to mention that he didn’t see Snape on the battlefield, even if he did, he wouldn’t stare at the other person’s eyes… Even when he was in school, he rarely did so.
Taking the initiative to look into the eyes of a Legilimency master, isn’t that just looking for excitement?
The only ones who would do this, or dare to do it, seem to be Connor and Harry in the first grade.
“Well… if you say it is, then it is.” Kyle smiled and said, “But just from one look, you dare to conclude that Snape is a good person, and chase him… What if he is really a Death Eater, and you kill your own relatives for the sake of justice.”
“I didn’t think so much at the time, I just wanted an answer.” Connor said, “Uncle Snape, it’s impossible to kill me… and the facts have proved that I am right.”
“That’s because you are lucky.” Kyle couldn’t help but say, “Look at Barty Crouch’s family. Barty Crouch Jr. tried his best to kill his father, as if only in this way could he prove his deformed and twisted loyalty to Voldemort, but in the end But he was still… “
Kyle suddenly sighed and stopped talking. He just shook his head and said, “If he is really a Death Eater, the relationship of family members is not very useful.”
“Well, I know…” As if she noticed that Kyle was in a bad mood, Connor’s voice was very light, “What’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing.” Kyle shook his head, “I just feel a little conflicted.”
“Because of Barty Crouch?”
“Well, I always think that this is what he deserves, but when I see him in a state of despair and want to die with little Barty several times, I feel a little bit sorry.”
Connor didn’t speak.
She had never seen Barty Crouch and was not familiar with him. She didn’t know how to comfort Kyle.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about it.” Kyle shook his head, took a deep breath, and said half-jokingly: “Anyway, wizards generally live longer, and Barty Crouch is lucky enough to survive this time, so he is still young. , if he could figure it out, he would have time to create a new account.”
“Tell me about you.” Kyle looked at Connor again, “Do you remember what happened after you chased Snape out?”
“I remember most of them, but those are probably useless.” Kangna thought carefully for a moment and then said:
“Now that I think about it, Uncle Snape could have thrown me away halfway, but he didn’t do that. Instead, he always kept a distance that was neither far nor close. It seemed that he deliberately led me to that place.”
“where?”
“The corridor leading to the North Tower.” Connor said, “It’s the corridor where we went to take Divination class. It’s opposite the Quidditch pitch. It’s in a very remote location. Normally, few professors and students go there.
“Even when I chased Uncle Snape there, there was no one there.”
“What a painstaking effort,” Kyle muttered under his breath.
“What did you say?” Kangna didn’t hear clearly.
“I said Snape must have deliberately led you there, hoping that you could spend this war in a safe place.” Kyle said, “He also took the risk of handing you over to his former enemy Sirius. .
“It’s just that he probably didn’t expect that Sirius accidentally encountered a few Death Eaters who wanted to cheat and have fun, and was chased all the way to the Quidditch pitch not far away.”
“A sneaky Death Eater?”
“Ah, it’s just a small incident, it’s not important, as long as you know that Snape is not a Death Eater.”
Kyle waved his hand and changed the subject: “To be honest, many wizards outside have strong opinions on him now. If you hear something outrageous, don’t worry about it. After all, they don’t know the truth. They only see Snape.” Saved Voldemort.”
“I know what to do.” Connor nodded.
This memory came just in time, allowing her to finally let go of the big stone in her heart. If not, she really didn’t know how to face other wizards.
“Do you remember anything else?” Kyle asked.
“No more.” Connor thought for a while, “After I caught up with Uncle Snape, I had many questions to ask him, but before I could say anything, I was hit by his coma spell.”
“When I wake up, I’ll be right here.” Kangna raised her head and looked around. Her gaze stopped at the Romanian long-horned dragon lying on the ground not far away, and then turned to look at the half-missed dragon next to it. The iron belly of the wings.
“Is this…in your box?”
“Why has it changed again?”
With so many fire dragons, Kangna’s first reaction was Kyle’s box, but she vaguely remembered that Kyle’s box didn’t seem so big, and it wasn’t so monotonous.
He remembered that there was a cliff next to the forest where time was reversed. During the day, it was night over there, and he could just see the Moon-Crazy Beast dancing.
But now there are lush trees all around, some tall and some short, as far as the eye can see, completely different from the scene in her memory.
“Ah, I put you in a box before, but then I found that this place is not bad either.”
“Where is this?” Kang Na asked curiously.
“The Forbidden Forest.” Kyle said, “After I became a professor, I applied for a garden, and the school agreed.”
“How could it be the Forbidden Forest? It’s impossible…” Kangna blurted out: “The fire dragon is flying over the Forbidden Forest. You can definitely see it in the direction of Hogwarts Castle.”
“This is a long story.” Kyle did not explain, but took Connor directly to another direction, allowing her to see the Hogwarts Castle not far away with her own eyes.
No other explanation worked, and Kangna immediately believed the fact that this was the Forbidden Forest.
“It’s incredible.” She sighed and looked at the pensieve in her hand again.
“You’ve already seen it twice.” Kyle reminded her: “I think we should go to the auditorium for lunch now instead of watching it a third time. You haven’t eaten anything for almost a whole day.”
It was already approaching noon on the second day. Kangna had been in a coma and naturally hadn’t eaten anything. If you add in the preparations before the battle yesterday, it would have been almost a whole day.
“That’s…ok.”
Kangna actually wanted to read the memory again, but after being reminded by Kyle, she did feel a sense of hunger, so she could only reluctantly raise her head and hand the pensieve to Kyle.
Kyle took the Pensieve, first put the memory inside back into the glass bottle, and then skillfully stuffed the Pensieve into the box.
Kyle had no other intentions. He simply wanted to remind Dumbledore to keep this precious alchemical item.
Now Voldemort has just been defeated, and the principal, Severus Snape, has run away again. What if the Ministry of Magic does not allow Professor McGonagall to be re-appointed as principal, but randomly assigns a new principal.
This kind of good thing must be in the hands of his own people. When Dumbledore comes back from Nurmengard, he will return it.
Well, he just keeps it temporarily and prevents outsiders from taking it away secretly, that’s all.
Kyle thought to himself, feeling more at ease with the movements of his hands.
Afterwards, he took Kangna out of the garden and walked towards the castle.
Kangna was very interested in Kyle’s wooden house, but she thought the furniture inside looked a bit familiar… Oh, by the way, the dormitory.
The furnishings here are exactly the same as those in the dormitory, and there is no clue that a professor lives here.
“I’m just feeling nostalgic.” Kyle shrugged, “The dormitory is pretty good, isn’t it?”
Kang Na smiled and said nothing.
The two walked slowly towards the castle. Along the way, Kangna hesitated several times. It was not until they passed the black lake and arrived at the castle that Kyle finally discovered this and turned to look at her. asked:
“What do you want to say?”
“No, it’s nothing…” Kangna subconsciously shook her head in denial, but soon she became entangled again and asked in a low voice: “Are the memories you showed me true?”
“Of course, I have said it many times.” Kyle continued to walk forward without looking back, “This is the memory Snape gave Harry. I found it accidentally and brought it here. How could it be It’s fake.”
“So…” Connor’s voice became even lower, “Uncle Snape, does he really like that witch named Lily Evans?”
Kyle paused and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: “You are asking the right person. I know everything you want to ask.”
“That’s what I asked just now.”
“Of course it’s true, and it’s absolutely true,” Kyle said. “Think about the scene between Snape and Dumbledore in the office? He summoned his Patronus. Do you remember what he said? “
Connor thought about it for a moment, “Uncle Snape said his Patronus had changed.”
“Yes, this is the evidence.” Kyle said, “Usually, the patron saint will change only after experiencing a huge emotional upheaval or a major blow.
“For example, after Tonks fell in love with Lupin, her patronus changed from a hare to a wolf, and Lily Evans’s patronus happened to be a doe, the same as Snape’s…or, in other words, Snape’s patronus. Nep is the same as hers,”
“But…but…” Kangna looked confused, “She is Harry Potter’s mother…”
“It wasn’t when they were in school,” Kyle said.
“…Does Harry Potter know?” Connor asked cautiously.
“Of course.” Kyle glanced at her, “I’ve already said it, this is the memory Snape gave Harry. I just found it accidentally. It was in the Pensieve at the time, and it had obviously been taken away. People have seen it.”
“Oh…” Kangna responded absently.
“Why, do you feel uncomfortable?” Kyle asked with a smile.
“Of course not.” Connor shook her head repeatedly and said solemnly: “Uncle Snape is an adult wizard and he has the right to choose who he wants to protect.
“I just think his attitude towards Harry Potter is weird. It’s obviously to protect him, but why in the end everyone thinks they are enemies.”
Snape’s dislike of Harry was almost completely undisguised, and any wizard with a normal intelligence could see it.
Moreover, Snape deducted points from Harry every school year, which was enough for most students to deduct points from the beginning of school to graduation… and they were still wealthy.
This is what Kangna can’t understand.
“Who knows,” Kyle said, “Maybe Snape didn’t want Harry to see it.”
“I still find it incredible.”
“That’s because you have too little experience.” Kyle said, “I suggest you go to Three Broomsticks for more time when you have nothing to do.”
“Why, what does this have to do with the Three Broomsticks.”
“You can gain some experience, and you can also exercise your mental endurance.” Kyle walked up the stone steps of the castle.
“If this incident reaches the Three Broomsticks, a second version will probably be derived within five minutes.”
“The second version?” Kangna was stunned for a moment, “What is it?”
“Snape and James’ grudges, Lily Evans’ love.” Kyle showed a wicked smile, “You will never guess how wonderful the ideas of those guests who went to drink.
“What happened between Snape and Harry may seem bizarre to you, but to them it is as ordinary as water… After spending time with them for a long time, you will find that you have been able to face them without knowing it. Accept any news without hesitation.”
“Are you serious?” Kangna smacked her lips.
“Of course.” Kyle said.
“But how did you know?” Kangna looked at him. After the two walked into the castle together, they stopped at the door of the crowded auditorium.
There are many outsiders, and almost all of their reasons are to help Hogwarts and are worried that Voldemort will come back, so Professor McGonagall will not drive them away at this time even if she is unwilling.
This is a matter of etiquette.
There is one thing, the auditorium is a bit too crowded.
“Let’s go to the kitchen,” Kyle suggested. “Or go to the Hufflepuff common room. It’s better than here.”
“I agree.” Connor agreed without much thought. She also didn’t want to have lunch with so many strange wizards. It felt weird.
“You haven’t answered my question just yet.” On their way to the kitchen, Kangna asked again: “How do you know so many secret things?”
“Secret? This doesn’t seem to count.” Kyle muttered in a low voice: “Because I have experienced it myself, so I know this.”
“I have personally experienced it…” Kangna didn’t know what she thought of, her face suddenly became solemn, and she glanced at Kyle suspiciously, “What have you been doing in the Three Broomsticks… Is there anything noteworthy there? ?”
“I didn’t stay at the Three Broomsticks all the time.” Kyle asked, “Who did you listen to?”
“No?” Connor was stunned for a moment, “Then you just said…”
“Oh, I’m not talking about the Three Broomsticks, but another place called the Valley Bar.” Kyle said with a smile, “I lived there for a month.”
“The Valley Bar?” Connor frowned and thought for a long time, sure that she had never heard of this place.
“Oh, it’s in Godric’s Hollow.” Kyle said with a smile, “It’s also a bar opened in a wizard village, similar to the Three Broomsticks.”
