Chapter 491 A Dream Full of Coincidences, Snape in a Good Mood (1/2)
Chapter 491 A dream full of coincidences, Snape in a happy mood
Harry walked out of the school hospital with lifeless eyes, as if a large cloud of bad luck was on his head.
The bell for the end of get out of class rang suddenly, pulling him back from his trance.
"Another nightmare, huh?" Aaron asked in a deep voice, "I guess the Dark Lord got the prophecy he wanted, or someone else was murdered?"
"Neither, but the situation is more serious, very serious."
"It can be seen that your performance just now is like the sky falling."
"I don't know what to do at all. Umbridge has found ways to drive away everyone who can help in the school." Harry said angrily, "She is simply sent by Satan to punish me."
"So what did you dream about?"
Harry was about to say something when Hermione and Ron ran over in a hurry.
"Harry, what's wrong with you?" Ron asked anxiously, "Don't tell me you had a nightmare again."
"This is not a place to talk." Harry calmed down, "Come with me, this is very urgent."
He found an empty classroom along the corridor on the second floor. After the three of them entered, he immediately closed the door and looked at them nervously, "Sirius, Voldemort has captured Sirius."
"What?"
"How could you?"
"I accidentally fell asleep during the exam, and then I saw him take Sirius to the room full of prophecy balls and asked him to get the prophecy ball at the end of the 97th row of shelves."
"Then what?" Aaron asked with interest.
"Of course Sirius didn't agree." Harry's voice trembled, and he spoke with difficulty: "They used the Cruciatus Curse on him, and I saw him covered in blood, trembling and curled up on the ground wailing."
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Aaron clapped his hands, "The examiner is right, you really need to rest well."
"I'm not kidding." Harry said angrily, "We have to think about how to get to the Department of Mysteries, Sirius is still waiting for us to rescue him!"
"Forget it! If you want to fall into the trap, don't take me with you." Aaron curled his lips in disdain, "I have taught you the brain block technique for two months, and you haven't had a nightmare for two months. Why can you see it today?"
"How do I know?" Harry roared, "Maybe you didn't teach well, I just improved my ability to resist the absorption of divine thoughts, but it doesn't mean that I really learned the brain block technique."
"Somewhat makes sense." Aaron laughed dumbly, "But don't you think what you saw is too easy to make you lose your mind?"
"Are you saying that Voldemort deliberately let him see it?" Hermione asked.
"Almost certain." Aaron snapped his fingers, "Sirius is the person Harry cares about most, no doubt about it.
But he is a wanted criminal! He should not be able to leave the Order of the Phoenix until he is proven innocent!"
"That's not necessarily true." Ron said inappropriately, "Sirius doesn't have that kind of self-awareness. Last year, he turned into a big dog to send Harry to school."
"Yes." Harry nodded repeatedly, "His personality determines that he can't stay in one place for a long time, and he has always felt guilty for not being able to help the Order of the Phoenix. It is possible that he ran away on his own initiative."
"Okay! This is the second coincidence!" Aaron waved his hands with a smile, "But how do you explain the timing of your dream?
Just when Dumbledore left The day after Professor McGonagall was hospitalized and Hagrid ran away, the person you trusted the most was in an accident when the person you cared about the most was not there.
This is too coincidental, even the most coincidental. "
"But it's true, I really saw it."
"Your brain block technique is not good enough. A great wizard can make you see something with some effort."
"Aaron is right." Hermione nodded, "This may be a trap, a trap set by Voldemort to catch you."
"So what? Am I going to watch him die?"
"Oh my God!" Aaron rolled his eyes, "Can you be a little wise?
So many coincidences, it's like a script."
"Then do you think I should pretend that I didn't see anything?" Harry questioned.
"Although you may not be happy to say this, I do mean it." Aaron shrugged, "You should calm down now, maybe..."
"I don't need a sedative." Harry interrupted.
"You think too much, potions are so expensive!" Aaron said with some disdain, and then pulled out his wand, "The Stunning Spell is different, it doesn't cost anything, but the effect is better, but it's not very friendly to you."
"What are you going to do?" Harry took two steps back in fear.
"Relax a little, I'm measured, and you will definitely thank me later."
"No, you can't do this." Hermione immediately dissuaded him.
"But this is the easiest way, I'm stopping him from going over to die."
"Expelliarmus." Ron suddenly took action.
A ball of white light shot straight at Aaron, but he easily dodged it by turning sideways.
"Haha! It's good to be loyal, but at least look at your own abilities!" Aaron said speechlessly. Even if he only had half of his magic power now, it was like playing to beat a wizard.
Ron smiled awkwardly, "I just want you to be less impulsive."
"I'm calm." Aaron said lightly, "Besides... I'm not the one who's impulsive now."
"That was not a dream." Harry emphasized word by word, "Why did Dumbledore ask me to learn brain blockade? It was because what I saw was real."
"Self-deception, but there should be a limit to self-deception!"
"Of course you are not in a hurry. Sirius has nothing to do with you, but he is my only relative." Harry said to Aaron, his tone was extremely excited.
"I understand your feelings very well, but there is a price to pay for committing suicide."
At this time, the door of the classroom suddenly opened, and Ginny and Luna walked in.
"I just heard your voices outside." Ginny said, "What are you talking about?"
"None of your business."
"Don't be so rude!" Ginny frowned. It was the first time that Harry lost his temper so violently, "I just wondered if I could help."
"You can't help."
"You really can't help." Aaron sighed lightly, "He dreamed that his godfather was captured by the Dark Lord and taken to the Department of Mysteries, the place where your father was attacked by a poisonous snake."
"What?" Ginny widened her eyes in surprise, and she understood why Harry was so anxious.
"It sounds serious." A string of question marks floated over Luna's head, "But I remember Harry was an orphan, does he have any relatives?"
"Only this one." Harry said painfully, "The only one."
Aaron took a deep breath, and then looked meaningfully at everyone except Harry, "He wants to save people, I can't persuade him, but you'd better not go with him on a whim."
"Why?" Ginny asked puzzled, "If Sirius is really caught, we should think of a strategy, at least notify..."
"There's no way to notify." Ron interrupted, "Umbridge drove them all away."
Ginny's expression froze, "Then we can't do nothing, can we?"
"We really can't do nothing, we don't have time to waste, Sirius is still suffering!" Harry said, wishing he could teleport to the Department of Mysteries immediately.
"Maybe we can verify the situation." Hermione said hesitantly, "What if this is Voldemort's trick?"
"How to verify?" Harry asked angrily, "How should we verify it?"
Aaron seemed to have thought of something, "This is not a good idea."
"It's better than him going to the Department of Mysteries to rescue people without any preparation!
The fire in Umbridge's office, we can use the Floo network to confirm whether Sirius is safe.
If he is, it proves that this is Voldemort's trap, if not..." Hermione smiled bitterly, "Then we can go to the Ministry of Magic through the Floo network.
But her fire may not be connected to the Ministry of Magic, we may have to transfer several times."
"I agree." Harry said immediately.
"Then someone needs to lead Umbridge away." Hermione thought, "But George and Fred are gone, we need a suitable candidate."
"Let me do it." Ron volunteered, "I'll say Peeves smashed the Transfiguration classroom while Professor McGonagall was away."
"Someone needs to keep watch to prevent others from reporting."
"Luna and I can help." Ginny said, "Just say someone has put throat-locking poison in the corridor and prohibits students from approaching."
"Harry, you and I will put on the invisibility cloak and sneak into her office."
"It's a good plan, but I don't recommend you do this.
I still think this is a trap, and Umbridge has been tricked so many times. What if there is an early warning magic in her office..."
"You can choose not to help, but you have no reason to stop it." Aaron was interrupted by Harry before he finished speaking, "I just want to confirm the safety of my relatives."
"Well... this reason is indeed impeccable, but you may have forgotten that there is another professor at Hogwarts who can help."
"Professor Snape, yes, and Professor Snape." Hermione said excitedly. Harry was stunned for a moment, then firmly refused, "No."
"Why?" Hermione asked doubtfully, Ron and Ginny also looked puzzled.
Aaron was thoughtful, "You don't believe him, right? Hasn't Professor Snape helped you enough?"
"Yes, but do you think I can hand over Sirius's life to someone who has a personal grudge against him?" Harry lowered his head when he said this, not daring to look directly into Aaron's eyes.
He also knew that this was a bit inappropriate, completely putting Snape in the position of a villain, but he really didn't dare to gamble.
If Snape wanted to take this opportunity to retaliate against Sirius, he didn't even need to add fuel to the flames. As long as he delayed a little time, he might miss the opportunity to save him.
"Haha!" Aaron sneered, pushed open the classroom door and walked out.
"You... are too much." Hermione said solemnly, "You know that he respects Professor Snape the most, aren't you deliberately making him angry?"
Harry didn't mean to explain, after all, that was his father's dark history when he was a child, and he didn't want others to know.
According to Hermione's plan, they quickly took action.
Ron was responsible for leading Umbridge away, Ginny and Luna were responsible for guarding and keeping sentry, and Harry and Hermione put on invisibility cloaks and went to Umbridge's office.
On the other side, Aaron went directly to the Potions professor's office.
"It seems that the exam is over." Professor Snape said slowly, "You always come here for no reason, but I have to tell you in advance that I haven't prepared any potions during this period." "Professor, what do you think of me?" Aaron felt wronged for some reason, "Would I covet your collection?" Professor Snape turned his face away, "Put away your thoughts and don't think about my materials." "Okay!" Aaron shrugged, "I just happened to have something to tell you about Harry Potter." "What trouble did Potter get into again?" Professor Snape sneered, "It's a pity that I wasn't there." "He had a nightmare again." Hearing this, Snape's mouth twitched, "Didn't I ask you to teach him brain occlusion?" "I taught him, and taught him very seriously. He hasn't had a nightmare for a month or two, until today." "What did he dream about again?" Aaron didn't answer, but just looked at the glass bottles on the shelf with interest. This is the treasure of the potion master. The rare materials in it are hard to find on the market, and even on the black market, they are in short supply.
"Huh!" Professor Snape also knew what Aaron meant. He took a deep breath and said, "He has had dreams before. How do I know if this dream is worth it?"
"It is definitely worth it." Aaron promised solemnly.
Snape hesitated, and after struggling for a few seconds, he stretched out a finger, "10%."
"30%."
"Get out. You want to rob so much for a dream. You might as well go and dream."
Aaron smiled awkwardly, "Professor, you have to learn how to bargain!"
"Half a percent." Snape said lightly.
"Okay, 10%, isn't 10% enough?" Aaron said hurriedly, "But can I choose it myself?"
However, the next moment he met Snape's teasing eyes, "It seems that it's not possible."
"The thing is, when Harry was taking the exam today, he dreamed that Sirius was captured by Voldemort and taken to the Department of Mysteries, and was tortured."
"Oh!" Snape immediately became interested, "Is it serious? Did he lose his arms and legs?"
"Probably not, but it's definitely exciting enough to be heartbroken."
"Haha, retribution!" Professor Snape raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Although it's fake, it's still very exciting.
Especially seeing this picture is Harry Potter, it's so wonderful, so satisfying!"
Although the 10% collection made him bleed a lot, this news made him happy and relieved.
"Professor, do you know this is fake?" Aaron asked curiously.
"I'm not sure, but it's too suspicious, isn't it?
From what I know about Dumbledore, he wouldn't let Sirius go out to perform a mission casually, and it's a mission related to the Department of Mysteries."
"I think so too, but Harry thinks it's true."
"That's useless, the Hogwarts Floo network is under strict surveillance.
No one can contact the Order of the Phoenix except me, he can only worry." Professor Snape said with a happier mood.
