Chapter 2334 Make Trouble? (This Is the Third Challenge of Meow Panda Changing Career)

Hermione couldn't sleep that night.

She was forced to start thinking about a problem she had never thought about before.

That is... what do you want to do in the future?

Hermione still remembers that when she was a child, she also had many dreams before becoming a wizard. But after receiving the notice from Hogwarts, these dreams seemed to be thrown away, and only the idea of ​​"being a wizard" remained in his mind.

But after talking with Ellie, Hermione suddenly discovered that being a wizard is not the end, but the beginning, not only that—is wizard really what she wants to be?

Hermione didn't dare to talk about this topic with others. Although she was only an eleven-year-old girl, she also knew that discussing the topic of "what's the use of wizards" to a group of people who aspired to become wizards would not bring good results . So she beat around the bush and asked others "what do you want to do when you grow up".

But the answer she got made Hermione very disappointed.

These children are not without dreams, but their dreams seem to be completely confined to the magic world, and they seem to be cursed, addicted to it and unable to extricate themselves. This made Hermione a little uneasy, and she even regretted that she shouldn't have come to Hogwarts in the first place. After all, after listening to Ellie's words, thinking about it, it didn't take much for her to become a wizard. Benefits, and the wizarding world strictly forbids wizards to use magic in front of ordinary people, so what is the use of these things I have learned? Can't even help your own parents?

Although Hermione also understood the dangers of exposing magic to the public, she always felt uncomfortable.

In contrast, Harry and Ron were equally dejected, but the reason for their dejection was different from Hermione's, only because Snape once again caught their mistake in Potions class and severely criticized them, Harry couldn't help but snap back, and Snape took another ten off.

This made them very frustrated. Because of the appearance of Ellie, Harry's life has been completely different from the original book. After Quirrell died, no one went to steal the Philosopher's Stone, and he did not join the Quidditch ball like in the original book. The current Harry is just an ordinary first-year student, without any savior halo at all.

"He hates me, Ron."

Walking down the road dejectedly, Harry complained helplessly to Ron.

"I know, he hates me, you see he will come to trouble me whenever he has time, I don't know what I did wrong..."

However, just as Harry was complaining, suddenly, a voice came from the side.

"Of course he hates you."

"Hey?"

Hearing this voice, both Harry and Ron were stunned for a moment. They turned their heads and saw Ellie sitting on a chair not far away, flipping through the book in her hand.

"Ellie... Teacher?"

Seeing this little girl, the two of them gasped. Although Ellie wasn't as scary as Snape, to them, it seemed safer to face Snape. At the same time, Ellie also raised her head and looked at them.

"You want to know why, Harry?"

“……………………”

Although Ellie's bright red eyes were still not bright at all, and looked cold, Harry Potter nodded bravely after thinking for a moment. After all, he also wanted to know why Snape was targeting him so much. In contrast, the fear that Ellie brought had to be delayed.

"Okay, sit down and let me tell you a story."

Ellie pointed to the opposite side, the two looked at each other, then walked over and sat on the chair obediently, and then Ellie looked at Harry.

"You have a bad relationship with Malfoy."

"this……………"

Facing Ellie's words, Harry was a little dazed for a moment. He really hated Malfoy very much, but he didn't understand what this had to do with Snape hating himself. However, Ellie ignored him and continued talking on her own.

"You have no ability, no strength, and Malfoy and his two followers always laugh at you and bully you, making you unbearable. But you have no ability to resist, you can only bear their bullying."

"........."

Harry kept his mouth shut, he wasn't stupid, he knew that what Ellie said must mean something, but he still didn't understand the connection.

"Then one time, when you were bullied by Malfoy and the others again, a beautiful girl came out to protect you and scolded Malfoy and the others loudly, and you also fell in love with that girl..."

Hearing this, Harry thought about it carefully. Indeed, if there was such a girl who would scold Malfoy for himself, he would like her too. Of course, it's a pity that there is no such girl in Gryffindor now, and Hermione feels to him and Ron that she is always chattering and meddling, which makes people feel a little annoying.

"Gradually, you fall in love with that girl, and you long to be better and worthy of her."

This is also a matter of course.

Harry also began to imagine that if there was such a girl, he would definitely want to work hard to become stronger, hoping to be qualified to stand by her side.

"But your efforts have had little effect. Malfoy and the others are still bullying you, and now they use bullying you as a way to attract that girl's attention. Once, they even hung you from a tree with a fuchsia in full view. Come on, it was the girl who came in time to save you."

God, that was a nightmare.

Harry Potter thought about that scene carefully, and he felt that if Malfoy really did this to him, he would definitely want to die.

"You were ashamed of being rescued by that girl, so you had a big fight with her to vent your anger, and then the two broke up. Then the girl married Malfoy and gave birth to a child."

“……………………”

Harry was beginning to feel that the story was tinged with malice now.

"And you became the Potions professor at Hogwarts, and then one day, you learned that both the girl you loved and Malfoy were killed by Voldemort, and only the child survived."

……………Ok?

"Then eleven years later, that child came to Hogwarts, and under your nose, you looked at the crystallization of love...the child born of Malfoy and the girl you loved, and in your heart How would it feel?"

"...Wait, wait a minute..."

Hearing this, Harry finally couldn't help but speak, and Ron was even more stunned.

"Ms. Ellie...you, you mean my father...he...he..."

At this moment, Harry felt like his idol had collapsed. Although he had never met his father, he always thought that his father should be a proud, gentle, and amiable father... But Ellie actually took him and Malfoy on a par with...? !

"That's right, Mrs. Ellie, Harry's father is the hero who fights against ... the mysterious man, how could he be someone like Malfoy?!"

At this moment Ron also reacted and shouted hastily, while Ellie just glanced at him.

"Parents' love for their children does not mean that they are the same for outsiders. Maybe Malfoy will be a good father who loves his children in the future, but this does not prevent him from still mocking you as a dirty Weasley."

Having said this, Ellie stood up and closed the book in her hand.

"My story is over."

After saying this, she left directly, leaving only Ron and Harry looking at each other.

After a while, Ron let out a sigh of relief.

"I can't imagine Malfoy being a good father."

"I can imagine..."

In contrast, Harry's expression became a little silent. Unlike Ron, Harry was able to understand this feeling better. Because his uncle and aunt were like that, and while they were complete villains to Harry himself, they did love their son Dudley very much. Maybe they look bad to others, but to my cousin, they should be the best parents in the world.

Therefore, Harry is more able to understand Ellie's rhetoric.

It's just that he can't accept it.

He'd always thought his parents were the best parents in the world, and they loved him, especially after hearing about their deeds—they had sacrificed their lives fighting Voldemort to protect him. So they must have been very great and gentle people.

But what frustrates Harry is that someone would treat his father as Malfoy... He can more or less understand Snape's hatred for him now, but he still doesn't know what to do.

In the days that followed, Harry's life did not become better because of this, but became more sad. In the past, he didn't know why Snape targeted him, but he could justifiably hate him. But after learning the truth from Ellie, he felt very complicated. On the one hand, Harry felt very unlucky and innocent. On the other hand, because he was often bullied by Malfoy, he could understand Snape's thoughts... This made Harry even more depressed.

So under the entanglement, Harry had to bite the bullet again to find Ellie and ask her if she could help him.

"So you mean, make Professor Snape stop hating you?"

"...Yeah, I don't know what to do, after all...that..."

Facing Ellie, Harry was still trembling, but Ellie looked at him, then thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"There is a way."

"Is there really?"

"That's right, but you need to make some sacrifices. The so-called heart disease needs to be healed... Are you willing?"

"I………"

For some reason, Harry always felt that the corners of Ellie's mouth turned up slightly when she said this, showing a weird smile, which made him instinctively feel a chill down his spine, but when he thought about it carefully, he still had to be in Hogwarts. After staying here for so many years, if Snape treated him like this every year, he might not be able to survive this school, so he gritted his teeth... and nodded vigorously.

"I do!"

"very good."

Hearing this, Ellie nodded, and then she took out a bottle of potion and handed it to Harry.

"this is?"

"You should have received the invisibility cloak. Tonight you wear the invisibility cloak and go to the potion room, and then drink this bottle of potion. Then you will know what you should do."

"I see."

Harry took the potion from Ellie and nodded. He did receive an invisibility cloak. I don't know who sent it, but Harry just kept it there because he didn't know what it would be useful for. .

"……………that's all?"

"That's right."

Although Ellie's answer sounded perfunctory, Harry still planned to give it a try. So at night, after everyone else fell asleep, he came to the potions room wearing an invisibility cloak, and then quietly opened the door and walked in——Snape didn't seem to be in the room, so Harry also relaxed. After taking a breath, he opened the potion Ellie gave him, opened his mouth, and drank it in one gulp.

Immediately after that, Harry felt his body start to heat up, and he couldn't stop panting. The magic seemed to seep out from his body, and then gradually became cold...

"Who are you?"

However, just as Harry breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, Professor Snape's voice came from the door. Hearing this voice, he was startled and turned his head hastily, only to see Snape's tall figure standing at the door of the potions room, looking at him coldly.

"It's time for a break now, why did you, a student, come here......"

However, before Snape finished speaking, he stopped, his eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at Harry Potter in front of him, as if he couldn't believe the reality.

"......... Lily?"

"……………Hey?"

Hearing the name Snape called out, Harry also froze.
