Chapter 77 Talking Back? It's Obviously the Truth

Half an hour later, Harry opened his eyes in a daze.

"You finally woke up." Ron asked worriedly, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"No, I feel quite relaxed." Harry said with a wry smile, then turned his eyes to Aaron and couldn't help complaining, "Can't you tell me in advance? I'm not prepared at all."

"Next time for sure."

"Next time? There will be a next time?"

"That can't be guaranteed.

You were so excited just now that you couldn't listen to anything.

I can only use this method to calm you down, and it seems to work well now."

Harry subconsciously touched the scar on his forehead and found that it was no longer so painful, and he was a little embarrassed.

"Sorry, but I was really too anxious.

That's Voldemort after all. Once he resurrects, I will be the first one to suffer." Harry looked at the three of them, "Can you understand my feelings?"

Hermione and Ron shook their heads gently. Voldemort was more abstract to them.

Although terrible, it would not hurt them, the little wizards, for no reason!

Aaron nodded, looking a bit out of place.

He didn't have the scar on his forehead that foreshadowed the crisis, but he had come into contact with Voldemort and Professor Quirrell, who was possessed by Voldemort, more than once or twice.

Every time he felt like he was jumping on the edge of life and death. If his psychological quality was a little worse, he might not see the sun tomorrow.

"Aaron, can you understand me?"

"I understand very well.

Don't forget, I fought with that man in black robes, it was too scary.

But we are still safe in Hogwarts."

Harry felt a little relieved when he heard this.

At this time, he really needed someone who could empathize with him.

"I have a feeling that Voldemort will act at any time.

We are in a hurry, so we have to make some changes." Harry said very seriously, "The original plan remains unchanged. Ron and I will keep an eye on Hagrid to prevent him from telling the secret.

Aaron, you and Hermione should keep a close eye on Snape and notify us if there is any movement.

But I suggest adding another layer of insurance. The two of us will take turns to pay attention to the trapdoor. Whether it is Snape or Voldemort, once they want to take action, that door is a hurdle that must be crossed."

"But that place is strictly prohibited by the school and students are not allowed to go there." Hermione reminded, "and we can't guard that door 24 hours a day.

If you act too seriously, you will alert the enemy."

"There is no other way." Harry said with a wry smile, "We don't have any evidence. If we don't have any evidence, we can only use this stupid method."

Hermione and Ron looked at each other and nodded helplessly.

At this time, we can only try our best. What if we run into it!

After the plan was finalized, the four of them left the classroom in batches.

However, from beginning to end, only two and a half of them worked hard.

Harry and Ron were two of them.

The scar on Harry's forehead was like a death warrant, forcing him to stay alert at all times.

Ron was Harry's best friend, so he naturally had to take care of his emotions and share the joys and sorrows with him.

Hermione was half of them.

She knew that Snape was not a bad person, and he was just pretending to monitor him, not working hard.

Only when he was a little more serious when paying attention to the trapdoor, he could often see a first-year Gryffindor sitting on the stairs reviewing what he had learned, which made many students feel ashamed.

Aaron perfectly removed himself from the plan. He thought that paying attention to Dumbledore was better than anything else.

Hagrid was unreliable, so there was no need to waste too much energy on him.

Snape was a professor of the college he respected, and there was no need to monitor him.

As for the trapdoor... hehe!

He suspected that Harry was monitoring this door just to seek peace of mind.

Can they guard the dormitory during the day and at night?

Students are not allowed to leave the dormitory at midnight, but professors have the right to do so.

It is impossible for the Dark Lord to steal things in Hogwarts openly, and the time of action will most likely be set at night.

......

A few days later, Aaron entered Professor Snape's office as usual as if he were walking into his own home.

"You are here again." Snape looked at Aaron speechlessly and said, "Once a day, every time at nine in the morning, very punctual!"

"I can't help it, I have to go to Professor McGonagall's office at two in the afternoon."

"It's almost vacation, do you have to?"

"Learning never ends, professor.

Any spell has its use. It is the greatest sorrow of wizards to regret not learning it when they need to use it."

"I admit that what you said makes sense, but... don't you think you come here too often?" Snape gritted his teeth and pointed at the counters piled on the wall with great pain. "I have worked hard to collect various rare materials, and you have spent only one tenth of them these days."

Aaron scratched his head awkwardly, and then said confidently, "It's not that I don't pay you."

"Is this a matter of money?

I am not short of money, and I am not short of money to the point where I have to rely on selling materials to make a living."

"I will pay double." Aaron said lightly.

Snape was stunned for a moment, his face twitched slightly, but his tone was obviously weaker, "I've said it's not about money."

"I know, this is just a little thought from the student, nothing else." Aaron said very sincerely, "Professor, in fact, you should feel happy to have a student like me.

My success rate in mixing potions these days is at least more than 70%, and the finished products are all given to you, right?

All in all, you not only didn't lose money, but also made a lot."

"How dare you say that?" Snape's face suddenly sank, "Those materials can be used to mix higher-level potions in my hands, but you can only practice with them.

70%, do you know how much you wasted?"

"It seems that you can make any potion successfully at once." Aaron said weakly, but his voice was full of dissatisfaction.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing.

Professor, can I ask you a small question?"

"Go ahead?"

"Please tell me, is there anyone who has a 100% success rate in preparing potions?

No one! Which famous potion master was not fed with ingredients?"

Snape was silent. He also came from the student days, so he naturally knew that there was no so-called shortcut on this road.

Talent is a must, but apart from talent, you can only continue to become proficient in trying.

"But you're too ruthless, and you use rare materials right from the start."

"It's not like I can't afford it."

"Ha! I really admire you for being able to say such things with confidence." Snape sneered, "These days, you come to my office every day to prepare potions with my materials and my instruments.

One bottle a day, no two bottles are the same. Some simple potions are no longer difficult for you. This is amazing. Your talent is almost comparable to mine.

But please think carefully, are you really rich?

The materials you wasted add up to 300 Galleons. Even Draco doesn't dare to squander the wealth of the Malfoy family like this.

I need to remind you that you are using your family's resources now, not yours."

"It's mine." Aaron said calmly, "Although I am a pure blood, my family is different from those ancient pure blood families.

As the only heir, I am qualified to open the family treasury and call on any resources in it."

Snape's mouth twitched when he heard this.

I feel upset. Why didn't he have such a good thing when he was a child?

In comparison, I feel that the world is full of malice towards him.

"Humph! Paying for your waste with the wealth accumulated by the family, it seems that there is nothing to be proud of."

"Uh..." Aaron frowned slightly, and then acted a little embarrassed, "In fact, I opened a small shop in Diagon Alley a few years ago. Except for the convenience of the family in the purchase channel, the rest is done by myself.

So even if I don't rely on the family, I can earn hundreds of Galleons every month, and it is not a problem to make ends meet.

With the accumulation of these years, my personal savings have barely reached five figures."

Snape:......

"Get out."

"Professor, what do you mean?" Aaron asked in confusion, "Do you look down on businessmen?"

"Don't put the blame on me." Snape said unhappily, "I have been teaching at Hogwarts for more than ten years, and this is the first time I have met a student like you who likes to talk back to the teacher. Is it interesting?"

"I am just telling the truth. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with that." Snape teased, "It's just that this makes me feel that I may not be worthy of being your teacher."

Aaron:......
