Chapter 643 Help Each Other

Not only Ethan, but Snape also suspected that there was something wrong with the group of so-called relatives.

For example, Logan, a Gryffindor student, is always alone and rarely plays with other children. Most of the time, he behaves very mature, not like a child.

At the beginning, he thought that Logan was just a little withdrawn, but looking at it now, the real reason was that he couldn't play with real children.

And that Scatha...er...Skathach?

Snape sat behind his desk, thinking silently.

Dumbledore saw through that Ethan was not a real child, but he didn't ask about Ethan's true identity, and chose decisively not to continue to delve into this issue.

Snape disagreed with this. He felt that leaving such an unknown and powerful person in Hogwarts was a very serious hidden danger and could cause huge damage at any time.

Hogwarts is very important in the wizarding world. If something happens, it may even cause a break in the British wizarding world, and it may cause many wizarding families to lose their heirs.

Under such circumstances, no one does not pay attention to the safety of Hogwarts, even those officials of the Ministry of Magic who always do some stupid things, they also pay attention to the safety of Hogwarts-only they often do weird things. That's all.

Snape had been obsessed with the identities of Ethan and the others. When he was thinking about the anomalies of a few 'children', he suddenly thought of this issue that he had been neglecting all along.

Scarha?

A cold sweat began to form on Snape's brow.

It can't be that Scathach, right? This is impossible, right?

At this moment, he suddenly understood why Dumbledore didn't get to the bottom of Ethan's true identity. He still clearly remembered that Dumbledore specifically asked Ethan's real name, and Ethan said that his real name was Ethan.

In the same way, if the other children also used their real names, the name Skaha would be very scary.

What's even more frightening is that he thought of Scathach's performance in school. Her most outstanding thing was her understanding and mastery of runes (also translated into runes), which was a headache for many adult wizards. For this little girl, it was as simple as eating and drinking.

"Snape...are you hot?"

"No."

Ethan raised his eyes slightly, and turned his gaze from the book to Snape. Seeing his expression, he immediately realized that this clever Professor Snape must have guessed something.

"Don't think too much, the truth of many things is very simple. For example, I just came to Hogwarts to learn some interesting knowledge."

Snape swallowed, his expression was a little dull now, but no one here cared about that.

"Why are you... interested in this knowledge?"

"Why not interested? After all, I don't know these things, and it's interesting, isn't it?"

Snape didn't understand the meaning of Ethan's words at first, but then he realized that after hundreds of years of evolution, modern magic knowledge is far from ancient magic, and even many core concepts of magic have changed. The earth-shaking changes, even if Ethan is really a special existence with astonishing power, he may not necessarily understand these things in detail.

The conversation came to an abrupt end. After Snape continued to sit for a while, he saw Ethan put down the book in his hand, then closed his eyes as if thinking about something, then got up and stuffed the book back in its place, and then took another book from the side. One.

"finish watching?"

"Yes."

According to his usual habit, Snape really wanted to complain about how much content could be remembered by Ethan's way of reading? But then he realized that this student in front of him was not an ordinary student, and from the few questions Ethan asked in succession after he opened the second Potions book, Snape knew that Ethan not only memorized the contents of the book His understanding is very clear, and his understanding is very deep, no worse than that of a wizard who has studied magic for decades.

At this time, Snape suddenly realized a question... It seems... probably... maybe... he should ask Ethan some questions that he has been thinking about for a long time but has no answer?

Magicians will always encounter various problems on the road of pursuing mysterious knowledge.

Some questions have common answers. In this case, you only need to ask someone who knows. Generally, the stronger the wizard, the more 'answers' he has.

There are also some that do not have a general explanation, and also involve the difference in the path that everyone takes. When encountering this problem, even if you ask powerful wizards, it will at most help you and you will not be able to get a very direct and clear answer.

But this is not absolute, like the one in front of me, if it is really the kind of existence I think, there should be a clearer answer, right?

Snape saw that Ethan was still reading, and didn't know whether he should ask. At this time, Ethan seemed to see through something, and suddenly said: "Ask what you want."

Only then did he know that even if Ethan didn't look at him, he couldn't hide all his actions from the other party.

"I have a few questions I want to ask."

"Um……"

Snape thought for a while, and didn't directly ask the question in his heart. Instead, he exchanged his understanding of a certain spell with Ethan just like discussing magic with another wizard.

If you don't ask, you don't know, and you will be shocked when you say it.

After listening to Ethan's story, Snape realized that Ethan's understanding of the spell was completely different from his own.

This difference is not that the two people have gone in completely different directions, but that there is a difference in the initial perspective of viewing the spell.

For example, if a spell is likened to a maze, being able to walk from the exit to the exit is regarded as a success in learning and using the spell smoothly, then when exploring the maze, sketching its specific appearance is the understanding of the spell. Snape walked back and forth countless times, and felt that he had found out many places, but there were still many places he didn't understand;

Ethan stood at a higher place overlooking the entire maze. The area Snape knew was already in the eyes of the other party, and Ethan also knew what the place he couldn't see looked like.

So the other party could not only explain the details that Snape himself had ignored, but also describe and analyze the spell from another angle or even the opposite direction.

Snape was naturally very happy, and immediately began to discuss the next topic. After discussing for a long time, Snape not only learned a lot, but also solved many questions accumulated over the years. In this half-day effort, he has made a leap forward.

This kind of improvement does not mean a sudden increase in magic power, or the ability to cast more powerful magic; it is an improvement in the understanding and application of many spells. Now it is easier for him to release the spell, and the loss of mana is also lower. Even many spells that he has never figured out how to release silently can be easily released now.

The most intuitive manifestation is that now when Snape releases the Shadowless God that he invented, not only does he not need to chant spells or even use his wand, but he can release it silently and suddenly—he thought that he would die Neither can do this.

At this level, the power of this attack-type black magic has been raised by several levels. This spell itself is powerful and fast. When it is released, there are no conspicuous lights and shadows such as light spots or lights. Now when it is released, there is no need for magic spells and magic spells. Magic wand, when it is shot, it is more rapid and makes people have no time to react.

Now whoever had trouble with Snape, even if he just stood in front of him, would risk being struck to death suddenly by this curse.

Then Snape asked about potion science. As a professor of potion science, Snape himself was very fond of potion science, and he very much hoped that he could achieve greater achievements in this field.

Ethan hasn't had time to understand the potions of this world in depth, but he has other related knowledge, so it's not impossible to give Snape some pointers.

It can also allow Snape to personally explain some key points of knowledge of potions in this world, so that Ethan can absorb the knowledge of this world faster.

Before he knew it, half a day passed. Ethan read the book for a day and unexpectedly learned the detailed and profound knowledge of Potions from Snape. Today was not in vain.

In addition to these gains, there is another more important reason for him to stay here.

"I'm not eligible to borrow books in many areas of the library, and I'm afraid I need your help."

"There's nothing wrong with that."

After a day of 'discussion' or asking for advice, Snape didn't mind doing Ethan such a small favor.

"What kind of books do you need me to borrow for you?"

"You need all the books that you can borrow but students can't. You can get as many books as you want every day."

Snape didn't know how Ethan had read so many books, but he wasn't going to ask - anyway, he would know what was going on when Ethan came to pick it up tomorrow.

"See you tomorrow, then, Professor Snape."

Before Snape could say goodbye to him, Ethan had already closed the door and left Snape's office.

At this time, Hogwarts' classes for the day had already ended, and it was the break time between the afternoon classes and before dinner. There were many students in the corridors, as well as in the courtyard.

The students were doing what they wanted to do to relax, and Ethan was about to find a place to stay quietly for a while before going to dinner, but was caught by Illya.

"You actually skipped a day of class!"

Ethan spread his hands. Compared with other courses, he can still learn something. The significance of Defense Against the Dark Arts to Ethan is that he can learn some magic spells to use in battle, but now he can learn from it. Nep needed all the offensive spells.

So why did he listen to Lockhart bragging? Instead of wasting time with Lockhart, it is better to study with Logan what magic plants are suitable for stewing with basilisk meat.

Or study the details of that leather suit with Scathach.
