Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts
Chapter 49: Private Investigation Activities of the Magic Iron Triangle
"Harry, does he feel guilty?" Dudley struggled to straighten up, "Is it because he lost the first Quidditch match? But the other Gryffindor players should have also seen Harry's strength. ....."
"That's not the case. As you said, no Gryffindor team member blames Harry. They think Harry is brave for putting saving people first." Hermione shook her head, "But haha Leigh doesn't care about this, he thinks he is responsible for your injury... He feels that you were implicated in getting Snape's curse."
"Wait, Snape?" Dudley smiled in surprise, "He thinks too much. Snape can't curse me."
"But Ron and I actually agree with him." Hermione frowned and said seriously: "You have to know that Snape has been finding trouble with Harry since the beginning of school and wants him to drop out of school. If he You happened to be next to Harry when you wanted to hurt him..."
"Don't think so wildly, this matter has nothing to do with Snape..."
"Why do you believe Snape so much? I think because he is your dean, it affects your judgment." Hermione was still very stubborn: "We also investigated that he might have released the troll on Halloween. and the dragon, just to get through the trap door under the three-headed dog..."
At this point, Hermione realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said and covered her mouth.
"Wait, what are you investigating privately?" Dudley was shocked. The Harry trio were doing some activities that he didn't know about.
What Dudley is worried about is that the Harry trio still sneak out in the middle of the night to investigate matters related to the Sorcerer's Stone like in the original work. Hogwarts is now more dangerous than in the original work, and the trio may not be able to save the day every time.
"Don't act in a hurry yet," Dudley said seriously: "When my injury gets better, I will accompany you to investigate, so you just need to calm down for the time being, okay?"
"Don't talk like that Dudley, you are not our guardian. Don't forget that you and we are the same age." Hermione turned her head and seemed to be a little angry: "You don't have to worry too much, we will definitely be there for you in the future." Find evidence before someone is harmed and alert Professor Dumbledore."
Dudley wanted to continue trying to convince Hermione, but at this moment, there was another small argument at the door of the ward.
"I told you, this child needs some rest, and you guys will never stop doing it."
"I am the Head of Slytherin, and I should look after the injured students of my house, just for a moment."
The door to the ward was forced open again, and in walked Snape in black robes, his face under his greasy black hair more gloomy than ever.
Seeing Snape coming in, Hermione stood up in panic, lowered her head and whispered in Dudley's ear: "Then I'll leave first, and you can rest and recuperate. But remember, you must be careful with Snape. do you understand."
Hermione lowered her head and walked quickly past Snape to leave the ward. Dudley seemed to hear Madam Pomfrey losing her temper outside the ward, as if she was asking Dumbledore for a magic iron door to protect the patient. Suffer from lock.
Snape closed the door of the ward and walked slowly to Dudley's bed, looking down at Dudley with his deep eyes over his hooked nose.
"I heard from Madam Pomfrey that two girls came to visit you nervously just after you woke up." Snape had a half-smile on his face, "I didn't expect you to be so popular. ...Is it because young people’s aesthetics have changed now?”
Dudley smiled bitterly and said, "Professor Snape, you also said that you and I are not fools, so stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point."
"First of all, I want to congratulate you. Because you caught the Golden Snitch, the Slytherin Quidditch team won the first game of the season. You successfully completed the promise between us. But I think you are more concerned about, It must have happened when you were attacked."
Snape stared at Dudley closely and said slowly in a soft voice: "Actually, when your broom went out of control, I was paying attention to Quirrell behind me..."
Seeing Dudley's expectant eyes, Snape shook his head: "I know what you are thinking, but unfortunately, not only can I not find any evidence that he used any black magic - I can even be sure that Professor Quirrell Not the one who hexed your broomstick.”
"The casting of black magic requires a medium. As soon as I discovered that your broom was abnormal, I immediately interfered with Quirrell, but even if his sight left, your broomstick was still out of control." Snape said decisively: "This can only mean one thing. The person who put the curse on you and wants to kill you is someone else!"
"Then is it possible that Quirrell used Polyjuice Potion to disguise himself, and then the real him was hiding somewhere else?" Dudley still didn't give up. Pettigrew didn't have a wand, and he certainly didn't have the ability to interfere with broomsticks. Among the people he knew, he could only suspect Quirrell.
Snape looked at Dudley doubtfully, surprised that Dudley knew the name of this rare potion: "I didn't expect you to even know Polyjuice Potion... But I have thought about this too, since After Quirrell’s strange reaction last time, I have been preparing other methods of identification, and I am very sure that he is Quirrell himself.”
Dudley was a little disappointed. He couldn't catch Quirrell's flaw this time. Then he would probably have to wait until Quirrell decided to steal the Philosopher's Stone by force.And besides Quirrell, who is the secret assassin who is powerful enough to affect the broomsticks?
Snape asked Dudley about the location and time when the broomstick went out of control, and did not plan to leave until Madam Pomfrey came over angrily to urge him.
Just as Snape was about to walk out of the room, he paused and said slowly to Dudley: "Although it was my idea to let you go to the Quidditch pitch, your injury was beyond my expectation. Condition. You just stay in this ward and don't go out these days. After you recover from your injuries, be careful. Whether it's you or Potter and the others, do you understand?"
After Snape left, the ward finally became quiet.Dudley lay on the bed, thinking quickly about what Hermione and Snape had just said to him.
There is no doubt that his own injury may have stimulated Harry and the others, and the Harry trio took action earlier than in the original work.Originally, Dudley thought that he would have to wait until at least after Christmas when Harry got the Invisibility Cloak before he would start to doubt Snape. However, Dudley was almost used to it. The plot after his magical transformation always developed faster than he imagined.
The biggest threat at present is that Quirrell seems to have more powerful helpers besides Peter Pettigrew, but Dudley can't think of any villain in the original work who can appear at this time.
At this time, the effect of the medicine seemed to have taken effect, and Dudley fell asleep in a daze due to the overcoming sleepiness.
