Chapter 619 Name
Harry came to the corridor again. He took out the map and wanted to see if the corridor was still safe.
Suddenly, he saw a dot moving on the map. From the map, he knew this was Snape's office.
And this point shows that this person is Trevor?
Harry watched the dot move here and there, pausing here and there. He felt that the name was very familiar, but no matter how much he thought about it, he could not remember who this person was or where he had heard this name.
Harry decided to find out. He walked down the stairs, tiptoed through the corridor, and then down a narrower flight of stairs. He kept looking at the dots on the map, eager to know why this man, Trevor, had sneaked into someone else's office at one o'clock in the night.
Harry knew that this was not from Hogwarts...
Was there a thief in Snape's office?
This is Hogwarts...
Suddenly, Harry's foot was empty. He staggered and the golden egg rolled down in his hand. Harry saw something bad and quickly got up to chase after it, but it was too late. The laying hen was crowing loudly. Get out.
At this moment, the invisibility cloak slipped off and the map flew away.
The golden egg finally stopped on the carpet, but it had already opened, and the song echoed throughout the building. Harry put on the invisibility cloak and tried to get the map, but he couldn't reach it. He strained his ears to listen to what was going on around him. , only footsteps and shouts were heard on the stairs.
'It's Peeves,' Harry thought. Soon Peeves was standing in front of him.
"What is this? The whole building was so noisy that he came to the foot of the stairs just as Filch picked up the golden egg and closed it.
"Egg?" Filch said quietly, "My sweetheart, this is an important clue. It should belong to the school champion."
Harry thought bad. There was a rabbit hopping in his arms.
"Peeves, where are you hiding? I will find you soon. Ha, you actually dare to steal things. Dumbledore is going to expel you from school..."
Filch started up the stairs, followed by his gray cat. Its two green eyes stared at Harry, who was so frightened that he was sweating, not knowing whether the invisibility cloak would work on cats.
"Filch? What's going on?" Snape appeared, looking angry. Harry was even more nervous because Snape's presence would make things worse.
"It was Peeves, he threw the egg down the stairs," Filch complained proudly.
"Peeves? But he can't come into my office."
"No, I mean, I heard a noise. It was that one... Peeves threw it down. I came out to see what happened..."
"My office can only be opened by those with magic skills." Snape looked up the stairs, looking right through Harry. Then, he glanced down the corridor and said, "Come here and help me find the thief."
"Me? Yes, Professor, but—" Filch reluctantly followed the professor upstairs, passing Harry directly.
"Go on and go upstairs with Professor Snape," Harry said to himself.
"Professor," Filch said sadly, "The headmaster will listen to me this time. Peeves has stolen from students before, and I feel it is my responsibility to testify against him this time."
"Filch, I wouldn't accuse a ghost of just disturbing the house, but my office is clanging." Snape said, stopping suddenly.
At this moment, Harry saw Mad-Eye Moody come in.
"What's going on? A slumber party?" Moody yelled at them.
"Professor, Professor Snape and I heard a noise. It was Peeves' fault. He threw something down the stairs. As a result, Professor Snape found someone breaking into his office," Filch said quickly. arrive.
Moody approached the stairs, and Harry saw his eyes rest on Snape, then land squarely on him.
Harry's heart skipped a beat, remembering that Moody could see through the invisibility cloak. The two of them stared at each other for several minutes, with Moody's mouth wide open.
Then, he turned to Snape and said, "Is it true? Someone broke into your office?"
"That's not surprising," Snape said coldly. "No, on the contrary, it is very important. Who broke into the office."
"I dare say it's just a student. He just wants to get some forbidden drugs, nothing more." Snape said coldly.
Harry wanted to tell Snape that the hooked nose was not made by anyone from Hogwarts, but Harry was still shocked.
Fan Lin told him that Snape's office has many prohibitions and is very dangerous, which can lead to death.
Harry once expressed disbelief at this, but Harry had never doubted Snape's magical level.
Take Fanlin as an example. Fanlin was trained by Snape, and he has been using the spells that Snape improved, secretly...
For a master of spells and potions, the protection of his privacy is naturally not on the same level as him.
Even so, Harry was surprised when Snape's office was burgled.
Moreover, there is a more critical point. He had never seen Moody's name just now, and the Marauder's Map could not display it, which made Moody's appearance a bit abrupt.
"Is it that simple?" said Moody. "Don't you have anything else hidden in your office?"
"You know I don't have it. My office has been searched by you a long time ago." Snape was about to get angry.
Moody smiled and said: "This is my right, Snape, Dumbledore ordered me to watch..."
"Dumbledore trusts me, and I won't believe that he asked you to do this."
"Of course he trusts you, he is a person who trusts others, but I - I said there must be something else, something else, do you understand what I mean?" Snape suddenly made a very strange move.
He grabbed his left forearm with his right hand as if he had been stabbed.
Moody smiled again: "Go back to sleep, Snape."
"You don't have the right to tell me where to go. I can just walk around the school after dark like you do."
"Go away." Moody's tone was full of threats. "I'm waiting for the moment I bump into you in the dark corridor and tell you that you dropped something."
As he spoke, Moody pointed to the map lying on the ground.
Snape and Filch looked in the direction of his finger.
At this time, Harry raised his hand towards Moody to attract his attention, and told him with his mouth: Mine, that's mine. Moody understood. But Snape had already walked over and picked it up.
Moody muttered a spell, and the map whizzed from Snape's hand to Moody's. "I made a mistake, this is my thing, I must have left it here earlier."
Moody rambled on with an unparalleled aplomb, much to Harry's admiration.
After all, he is a man called Mad-Eye...
But Snape now connected the egg with the map and understood immediately.
"Potter," he said quietly. Moody folded the paper and put it in his pocket, asking, "What are you talking about?"
"Potter. This egg is his, and the paper is his. I have seen it before. He must be standing in a corner wearing the Invisibility Cloak now." Snape shouted. Then, as he climbed the stairs, he reached out his hands and felt in the air, trying to find Harry.
Harry leaned back, trying to avoid Snape's fingers.
Harry's story was almost exposed. Snape almost caught his invisibility cloak, but the next development was far beyond his expectation.
Snape is very afraid of Moody. It can be said that Snape is much more timid than imagined. He has been like this since the beginning of school. However, Harry does not have a clear understanding. Why is Snape afraid of Moody?
This is simply unbelievable for Snape. He even hated Dumbledore...
When he was still about half an inch away, Snape shouted: "There is nothing else here. But I will tell the Headmaster soon that your heart is towards Harry Potter."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean the headmaster would be very interested in knowing who gave Harry these things." Snape finally put his hands down and said calmly: "I'm afraid that Potter is wandering around here. He has This is a bad habit. For his own safety, he should get rid of it."
"Oh, I see, you want to take advantage of Harry, don't you?" They stared at each other without saying anything, and finally Snape said, "I think I should go back to bed."
"This is your best decision tonight. Now, Filch, give me that egg," said Moody.
"No," Filch hugged the egg tightly as if he were his own son, "Professor, this is evidence that Peeves has broken the rules."
"This belongs to the champion, give it to me quickly." Snape said nothing more, Filch reluctantly handed the egg to Moody, and the two left.
The door slammed shut and Harry stared at Maudie as he walked towards him.
"It was a thrill just now," Moody said.
"Yes, yes, thank you, Professor Moody." Harry said tiredly like a deflated balloon.
This night was really exhausting for him. Why did he come to Snape's office so nervously? Or maybe, Snape's theft had nothing to do with him at all. Moody was here.
These professors can completely expel the thief who sneaked into Hogwarts, or is this just a new student who doesn't know what it means? Are you brave enough to hang out?
These are not things that Harry should care about. He already knows the secret of the golden egg. Of course, he should think about how to breathe underwater for an hour.
This is a big problem. He is not a fish. He breathes underwater or something...
"What is this?" Moody asked, opening the map.
"The map of Hogwarts." Harry replied weakly.
Moody looked at the map and said slowly: "Did you see who broke into Snape's office just now? I mean, judging from the map." (To be continued)
