[029] Quidditch conflict
Carl's elemental prayer teaching successfully filled Hermione's remaining time - Miss Wanshizhi is very hard now, and she has to attend classes every day, answer questions, take notes, train after class, and write three homework.
Well, if Carl hadn't felt sorry for her, Hermione would have to do four homework.
But after observation, Carl found that her worries seemed redundant - Hermione herself enjoyed this content and did not have any hard work at all - even because she did multiple homework, she said more when facing Harry and Ron!
Because of the same homework, Harry and Ron simply turned Hermione naturally short, so that every time Hermione scolded them, both of them could only be speechless.
There is no way, the boss is the one who helps with homework!
………………………………………
Hogwarts' calm lasted for nearly a month - the calm was quickly broken by a Quidditch training match.
The reason may be the snatch of the venue, or the daily conflict between lions and snakes. In short, the Quidditch team members of the two academy quickly changed from literary battles to military battles, and the two sides fought each other as they quarreled.
Because there was no reason for Draco to make trouble, although Harry had fallen in love with Quidditch, he was not a member of Gryffindor at the moment, so this conflict had nothing to do with him - it was bad. After Snape learned of the conflict, he was the first to be slapped, and Harry and Ron, who were following him, were accidentally discovered.
"Ahhh, Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley Jr.," Snape sarcastically said in his usual, greasy tone. "I remember that freshmen in the first grade cannot join the Quidditch team. Now you are in conflict, and it seems that they are not innocent - then, because of you, Gryffindor deducts ten."
"We don't!" Harry immediately spoke, "We don't participate in the fight!"
"Didn't there be a fight?" Snape glanced at Harry, "So, why did you appear in Quidditch's training ground when get out of class was just over? Lies to the professor and deduct three more points."
"I--"
Harry seemed to want to say something, but Ron stopped him in time - Ron could see clearly. If Harry let him continue, I am afraid that Snape would deduct 20 to 30 points to Gryffindor this time.
"It's so terrible!" On the way back, Harry complained angrily, "That big bat is not only partial, but also rather unreasonable - a total of thirteen points. If Hermione knows, we may not be at peace this week!"
"It's a pity that this matter cannot be hidden." Ron shook his head helplessly, "The points have been deducted. All we can do now is to seize Snape's handle and drive him out of Hogwarts!"
"That's right!" Harry clenched his fists when he heard Ron say this. "This road is obviously not the direction he returns to the office. Perhaps this time he is already planning to steal the Philosopher's Stone - he just doesn't know how he passes the Three-Headed Dog's level."
"Who knows?" Ron shook his head, "Maybe someone else knows how to use the three-headed dog... We probably have to keep a closer look!"
"No!" At this time, Harry suddenly discovered the problem. "The direction Snape left just now was not going back to the office!"
After hearing Harry say this, Ron's eyes lit up - the two of them quickly found a corner without anyone, took out the invisible cloak from Harry's schoolbag and put it on his body, and sneaked quietly towards the corridor on the fourth floor.
When the two of them came outside the corridor, they happened to see Snape leaving here in a hurry - Ron even found that there seemed to be blood on Snape's legs!
After Snape left, the two confirmed that the three-headed dog was still there, and then quickly left and found Carl.
"Carl!" After seeing Carl, Harry's tone was full of excitement, "We saw it!"
"I saw the conflict between Gryffindor and Slytherin Quidditch team, and then participated in it and deducted thirteen points for Gryffindor?" Before Carl could speak, Hermione next to him spoke unhappily, "Thirteen points - I'm afraid I won't make it back in a week-"
"But we found Snape's whereabouts!" Ron planned Hermione's words, "We saw him entering the fourth-floor corridor. When he came out, he had a wound on his leg. It must be that he wanted to break through the three-headed dog's defense, but he was bitten by the dog!"
Hermione was stunned when she heard Ron's words - she threw the deductions aside and began to quickly ask about Snape.
After confirming that Snape was indeed bitten by a dog, Hermione also became excited - her excited look made Carl next to her stunned.
He's really a natural Gryffindor!
"We must keep an eye on Snape!" Ron began to incite. "He is injured in his leg now, but it seems that his injury is not very serious - maybe in the past few days, he will try to steal the Philosopher's Stone!"
"So, Carl can go to Professor McGonagall." Hermione also expressed his opinion, "Now Snape has an injury on his leg, so it must be impossible to hide it!"
"But he is very good at potions." Ron gritted his teeth and insisted on it. "If he had drunk any medicine now and healed the wound on his leg, I'm afraid Professor McGonagall would not trust us anymore. There was only one chance to ask Professor McGonagall for help, and we could not use it hastily!"
"What do you think you should do?" Hermione couldn't help but raise her tone, "Do you two want to follow Snape in invisible clothes? This is simply impossible!"
"So we have to take out the Philosopher's Stone one step ahead!" Ron finally revealed his fox tail, "This is the best way to protect the Philosopher's Stone!"
"Are you crazy?!" Hermione looked in disbelief, "We are stopping Snape from stealing the Philosopher's Stone!"
"We took away the Philosopher's Stone to prove that the Philosopher's Stone can be taken away!" Ron said firmly, "Hagrid said before that as long as he prepares a piece of music, the three-headed dog will fall asleep - the facts have proved that the Philosopher's Stone is no longer safe. We can't wait for Snape to get the Philosopher's Stone to take action, right? That would be really too late!"
"Before that." Carl finally spoke, "I should try to communicate with my mother, maybe there is still something to talk about - but don't have too much expectations."
"We may have other choices besides Professor McGonagall." At this time, Harry also spoke up. "What Ron said makes sense. Perhaps the defense of the Philosopher's Stone is not as strict as imagined. We must also be prepared when necessary... Perhaps in addition to Professor McGonagall, Professor Quirrell is also a target for help!"
"Well said, Carl!" Ron, who was completely unaware of the problem, nodded happily, very satisfied with Harry's assist, "This is the best way to stop Snape!"
In this way, although Hermione still reserved her opinion, Gryffindor F4 passed the "Sorcerer's Stone Protection Plan 2.0" under the principle of minority obeying the majority. This time Carl will turn to Professor McGonagall, Harry will turn to Professor Quirrell, and Ron will prepare to get the Sorcerer's Stone first.
