Chapter 35 Snape Is a Good Man, but His Goodness Is Not Obvious
"Don't be silly, Professor Snape has left." Aaron looked at Hermione who was stunned and laughed, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Yes, I almost forgot." Hermione suddenly said, "Come with me first, this is the Quidditch field, not a place to talk."
"Mysterious." Aaron shrugged, picked up Abe who was lying on the seat and followed him.
The two began to walk along the campus and gradually walked to a place with fewer people.
"That's about it! The bathroom is just a little further away.
Even if you want to date, find a decent place!"
Hermione blushed, "Who wants to date you?"
"Not a date? Then I'll be even more disappointed.
But it's okay, we are only eleven years old, just keep the relationship of good friends."
Hermione couldn't help but feel a little happy when she heard the first half of the sentence, but the little happy was wiped out when she heard the second half of the sentence, and her face became more bitter.
"Okay, I'm just kidding.
If my mom knew I made a girl cry, she would probably come back from Loch Ness to beat me up."
"Pfft!" Hermione was amused and let go of the unhappiness.
"Can you tell me what you want to do with me?" Aaron asked curiously.
Hermione calmed down and looked around with a serious face. After making sure there were no people and ghosts, she said, "Aaron, you must listen to me. Stay away from Snape in the future. He is not a good person."
"Ah?" Aaron was a little dazed. He never thought that Hermione called him over just to remind him of this.
Although Gryffindor students don't like Snape's expressionless face, they don't define him as a bad guy!
"Impossible, I can still tell whether a person is a good person or not.
Although Professor Snape is a little strict at ordinary times, he is definitely not a bad person."
"It's true, I'm not lying to you." Hermione explained anxiously: "You know that Harry almost fell off his broom during the Quidditch match yesterday."
"So...
What does this have to do with Snape not being a good person?
You don't suspect it was him, do you?"
"He cursed Harry, I saw it with my own eyes.
He was sitting on the platform, staring at Harry's broom, without blinking, and the speed of the curse was very fast."
"That doesn't prove it was him!"
"Why? This is already conclusive evidence!
Don't you believe me?" Hermione felt very wronged. Originally, only she, Harry, Ron and Hagrid knew about Snape's curse.
She made a great determination and even risked being discovered by Snape to come and tell Aaron.
Seeing Hermione's red eyes, Aaron panicked and said hurriedly: "It's not that I don't believe you, but are you sure Snape is harming Harry?
Snape is quite powerful, at least he is a magician. A magician is concentrating on spelling the flying broom. How do you think Harry can hold on for so long without falling off?
Depending on skills? Don't be ridiculous.
I admit that he has good talent, but he is just a novice after all."
"What do you mean?" Hermione frowned, as if she found the key point, but she was a little unsure.
"Stupid! I read so many books in vain." Ling Ge shook his head speechlessly, "Since you have read the relevant content, you should know that this kind of evil curse can also be counteracted by the opposite spell.
The method is similar, keep your eyes on the target of the curse and concentrate.
That is to say, there were at least two people chanting the curse at that time, one was chanting the evil curse, and the other was chanting the reverse spell.
If Snape chanted the reverse spell, then he was not harming Harry, but saving him.
You don't know the specific situation, so you put such a big black pot on Professor Snape. Isn't it too arbitrary?
Or did you hear Snape chanting the evil curse with your own ears?"
"But... at that time I only saw Snape chanting the curse, and the mouths of others didn't move so fast."
Bang!
Aaron flicked Hermione's head lightly, "Who told you that you have to say the curse with your mouth? Some high-level wizards can achieve the same effect under normal circumstances by just looking at the object they are casting the curse on, and with some props and secret methods.
To give a simple example, before you came to Hogwarts, you should have suddenly released magic without using any spells!"
Hermione was stunned for a moment, thinking that the magic world is really deep, and there are so many details to harm a person.
"But this can only reduce Snape's suspicion by half, and there is still a 50% possibility that he is chanting the curse." Hermione said stubbornly.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Aaron said word by word, "In Hogwarts, everyone, you, me, and even Dumbledore may harm Harry Potter, but only Snape will not, he is..."
"But what?" Hermione looked at Aaron, and the curiosity in her eyes seemed to overflow.
"Nothing."
"No, you must know."
"I really don't know." Aaron said very seriously. Snape would never know.
"Really?" Hermione suddenly showed a meaningful smile, "Aaron, if I go to Professor Snape now and tell him that Aaron told me everything, what do you think he will think?"
Aaron was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands, "Oh! Good idea, very smart.
If I didn't know, you might have succeeded."
The smile on Hermione's face froze instantly. Snape Severus is the dean of Slytherin College. Aaron, a Slytherin and Snape's favorite student, can easily see him, but she is a Gryffindor. Let alone seeing him, I'm afraid she can't even get in the door.
Now the two are standing at the same starting line, but the finish line is obviously much closer to Aaron. I'm afraid her "little trick" will be broken before it is implemented.
"Have you figured it out?" Aaron smiled proudly, "I can tell you responsibly that Snape will never harm Harry Potter.
Now, Hermione, please get out of the way. I have to go back to catch up on some sleep."
"No, you can't leave." Hermione grabbed Aaron's arm, "I must know the reason.
If you don't tell me, I...I will cry in front of you."
Aaron sighed helplessly and lifted Abe in front of him, "Do you know what species this is?"
"Cat, what's wrong?"
Aaron nodded, "Then you must have heard of 'curiosity kills the cat'!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Abe kept turning over in Aaron's arms. It was a dragon, a dragon with noble blood. That kind of lowly curse was simply an insult to it.
Bang!
Aaron patted it on the back, "Don't make trouble, I'll give you a chicken leg for dinner."
In front of the delicious food, Abe instantly stabilized.
Isn't it just a curse? It is a holy dragon, and it is least afraid of curses, let alone such a curse that has nothing to do with it.
Hermione pondered for a moment, "But I still want to know."
"I really can't tell you.
This matter may be related to Professor Snape's self-esteem, and the more you know, the greater the risk you take."
"I am not afraid of risks. Gryffindor is not short of adventurous spirit."
"But I am afraid." Aaron smiled bitterly, "If you accidentally let it slip, I will be the one who is unlucky."
"Okay!" Hermione was a little regretful, "Since you don't tell me, I can only check it myself."
Aaron just breathed a sigh of relief, and was frightened by her second half of the sentence, and immediately said: "Stand there."
Hermione stood up straight, then showed a victorious smile, and stuck out her tongue embarrassedly.
"I'm really scared of you.
I can tell you, but you have to promise me not to tell anyone, especially Harry Potter."
"I promise." Hermione raised her right hand and said solemnly: "I swear I won't tell anyone even if you kill me."
"Haha! In the wizarding world, swearing is the least binding.
But I'm still willing to believe you this time, as long as you don't take my trust lightly," Aaron said, and then his face became more serious, "Do you remember what question Professor Snape asked Harry in the first potion class?"
"Remember, adding narcissus root powder to wormwood infusion will get What did he ask?"
"Yes, that's it.
Have you ever wondered why he asked this question?
Narcissus and wormwood, in the language of flowers, the meanings of these two plants can be understood as 'my regret follows you to your grave', as well as 'absence' and 'bitter sorrow'.
Snape apologized in this way when he first met Harry. He felt extremely guilty about Harry and would never hurt him. "
"You mean... OMG!" Hermione opened her mouth in shock. The impact of this secret on her was so great that she couldn't accept it.
"Wait, that's not right!
Why does Professor Snape always make things difficult for Harry?"
"Who knows? Maybe he's angry at Harry for not trying hard enough!
After all, Harry's grades are totally unworthy of his fame and talent.
As long as he's good enough, Snape naturally has no reason to make things difficult for him, right?"
Hermione nodded blankly, "It seems to be true.
Harry hasn't taken his studies seriously since he started playing with Ron.
Both of them copied my homework."
Aaron's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that these two didn't study well when they were eleven years old.
But it doesn't matter. Let alone copying homework, even if they handed in a blank paper, it has nothing to do with him.
