Chapter 149 Not Too Stupid

After the wand-checking ceremony, Schelling's life returned to taking classes and studying transfiguration.

He already has a good grasp of the human body transformation technique and is confident that he can master the human body transformation technique before December.

A few days later, Rita Skeeter's article about the Triwizard Tournament was published. This article is not so much a report on the tournament as it is an embellished description of Harry's personal life. The entire article is about Harry, with the names of the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang warriors squeezed into the last line of the article and misspelled, and not a word about Schelling.

Not only did Rita turn Harry's hemming and hawing into a disgusting tirade, but she also asked other people what they thought of him.

"Harry finally found his first love at Hogwarts. His close friend Colin Creevey said that Harry was inseparable from a girl named Hermione Granger. Miss Granger was stunningly beautiful. , born into a Muggle family, she, like Harry, is one of the top students in the school." This made Harry and Hermione the main targets of cynicism among Slytherin students.

This drove Harry crazy. He even accidentally yelled at Zhang Qiu, the goddess in his mind.

Hermione naturally shared some of the unpleasantness, but she did not yell at innocent passers-by.

What she cares more about is whether anyone will misunderstand her emotional world. However, when she thought of the scene that day when Xie Lin held Daphne's hand and walked into the classroom, she still couldn't help but feel a little bitter in her heart.

This was also the first time that she felt sincerely envious of the fact that Daphne, who was born in a pure-blood family, could easily be selected into Slytherin House.

She thought of the day she put on the Sorting Hat and the Sorting Hat asked her - Ravenclaw or Gryffindor?

Because she admired Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of this century, she resolutely chose Gryffindor, which she thought was the best house.

She couldn't help but think, if she had chosen Ravenclaw that day, what would her situation be like now?

Eleanor and Catalin did not attend classes with the students at Hogwarts, although Dumbledore had given them the freedom to attend any class.

Eleanor spent most of her time on the ghost ship, guided by Karkaroff himself.

The same goes for Katalin, who spent most of her time in the carriage, under the guidance of Madame Maxime herself.

After the staff inspection ceremony, Xie Lin had friendly exchanges with the two girls. As far as he knew, whether it was the ghost ship or the carriage, the traceless stretching spell was cast inside.

Not only is the space large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, it is also divided into many sub-spaces, such as boys' dormitories, girls' dormitories, washrooms, offices and classrooms. It is simply a mini portable school, designed for small class teaching.

Schelling makes good use of his time hourglass. In addition to daily studies, he also spends time with Daphne, Murray and Astoria every day to enhance their relationship. Although it was important to pursue the power to rescue Meredith, he couldn't take the efforts of the three girls for granted, and he couldn't be so selfish.

That night, the Potions class was in the underground classroom.

Under the dim lights, the classroom at night was even colder than usual.

"Professor," Schelling said respectfully, "what brings you to me?"

Snape's eyes were still so gloomy, and he said in a low and smooth voice: "Is it your own idea to participate in the Triwizard Tournament?"

"Yes, Professor," Schelling replied, "I think my strength is not much worse than that of a seventh grader, and I have a reason why I must participate."

Snape's usually empty eyes also flashed with a hint of wavering, and he said slowly: "Is it because of Meredith? That Shafiq girl?"

"That's right." Xie Lin looked directly into Snape's eyes, "To me, she is a companion, a relative, and the person I love."

Snape couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Stupid!" He seemed to realize that he had violated his usual aloof personality, pursed his lips, and then said coldly: "With your family background, appearance, and strength, If you can’t get what kind of woman you want, why should you cling to the past?”

Xie Lin sneered secretly in his heart, Professor, you are probably assuming your own past.

"Professor," Xie Lin said with firm eyes, "If I abandon my lover today because of a small difficulty, how will I deserve to have a true relationship in the future?"

He raised his voice slightly, "What's more, not to mention that there is still a chance to save Meredith now. Even if she has really changed into someone else or even remarried someone else, I will act like a real man and snatch her back. ! "

There was a rare change in Snape's eyes, the temperature in the classroom became even colder, and Xie Lin, who had a keen sense, actually felt a vague murderous intention.

Hum hum, I must have spoken your mind, old bat.

After a while, Snape's eyes returned to their previous hollow look. He said calmly: "You are different from all the Malfoys I know... you are an idiot..."

"Although you are stupid, but since you have made up your mind," Snape continued: "As your dean and your father's friend, I should help you both in public and private matters."

He took out a book from a secret compartment on his desk and handed it to Xie Lin, "Take this book. It is the magic notebook I usually study. It should be helpful to your strength."

Humph, how could Sherin not know that Snape simply saw his past self in him - he clearly wanted to help Sherin and make up for his regrets, but he had to act in a businesslike manner.

Of course, since Sherin had taken advantage of him for nothing, he naturally wouldn't say these things.

"Thank you, Professor!"

"One more thing," Snape's low voice echoed softly, "This time, don't share this book with anyone, even if that person is your brother."

"Understood, Professor." Sherin immediately understood what he meant and couldn't help laughing.

Last semester, Sherin shared his elementary potion notes with Slytherin students without Snape's permission. It seems that Snape already knew about this.

Sherin actually did that for a reason. He was testing Snape and wanted to know Snape's bottom line.

Snape was a very complicated person. He was a half-blood wizard, but because he admired dark magic and power, he joined the Death Eaters who valued pure blood. He was originally loyal to Voldemort, but changed sides because of the woman he loved. But this does not mean that he is really loyal to Dumbledore.

He obeyed Dumbledore's orders only to protect the boy he hated the most.

In the end, Snape was only loyal to himself, and he was an object that Sherin could fight for.

It was not surprising that Snape knew about the incident last semester, because Sherin had no intention of hiding it from him.

Snape's performance was very interesting.

He did not accuse Sherin of leaking his potion experience, but at the same time, he did not praise Sherin for helping the entire Slytherin to greatly improve the potion level.

He knew about this, but acted as if he knew nothing and said nothing.

And this time, he finally took the initiative to ask Sherin to keep the notes privately, and even Draco was not allowed to share them.

What does this show? This is nothing more than saying that Snape's personal assistance to Sherin was because of Sherin's relationship, and had nothing to do with Slytherin and the Malfoy family!

This once again highlights the importance of reputation.

Whether it is the Greengrass family, the Nott family, or the Trelawney, as well as Snape in front of them, they all saw another possibility in Sherin!

In this world, besides Dumbledore and Voldemort, there is a third possibility!

Snape snorted lightly and said coldly: "I take back what I said just now, you are not too stupid."
