Hogwarts Raven

Chapter 32: Stories of lies! Furious Snape!
The curtains on the windows were drawn tightly.

Torn oilcloth and scattered corpses were scattered all over the house. If Snape had not clearly known that this was an idle house under his name, he would definitely think that he had accidentally entered the lair of a dark wizard.

"You mean you were walking down the street and accidentally bumped into a dark wizard, and a piece of paper accidentally fell from the dark wizard's body."

"And this piece of paper happened to record a piece of black magic, but you didn't notice it. Just out of curiosity, you accidentally learned the black magic recorded on it?"

Snape stared at Ian with his sinister eyes. His face looked as ugly as a crumpled paper, and his brows were twisted into a knot that seemed unsolvable.

"Yes, that's what happened."

Ian nodded his head like a rattle.

"Professor, I am innocent, I am a victim, and my young heart was so scared that I couldn't sleep well last night!" Ian tried his best to widen his green eyes.

Of course, his words were half truth and half false.

Even though he was not a wizard born and raised in the wizarding world, Ian knew that a book like "Secrets of Advanced Black Magic" was almost equivalent to a certain kind of Kung Fu in the wizarding world.

He said Aurora gave it to him?

Regardless of whether this can help him get away with it, the limited edition study material will definitely be confiscated, and he may even be held accountable for having access to "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic"!

after all.

Aurora has a grandfather named Grindelwald.

He didn't!

Aurora can be said to have a family heritage because she owns the book "Advanced Dark Magic Revealed", but if he owns the book "Advanced Dark Magic Revealed", he will probably be labeled as the second generation of Voldemort!

"I didn't expect this place to be a cemetery, professor. You don't know, when those corpses crawled out from under the floor, I was almost scared to death!"

Ian continued to play the victim in an exaggerated tone, trying his best to make himself appear more innocent.

however.

Snape obviously didn't buy it.

"Kid, do you think I'm as easy to fool as those kids in the orphanage?" Snape's expression was still ugly, and his voice was filled with gritted teeth.

"Do you think there are dark wizards everywhere?"

He obviously didn't believe Ian's nonsense.

"It must be a dark wizard. I also met one when I was in London. He kept following me and wanted to capture me for evil research. Who knows if it's the same one who appeared in the village!"

Ian wanted to strengthen the credibility of his story, so he brought up his own experience.

Never thought about it.

Snape's expression became even uglier.

"Shut up! You idiot!"

He directly scolded Ian.

"Tell me the truth!"

The sense of oppression Snape exuded increased a lot.

"That's really it..."

Ian's confidence began to wane. There was nothing he could do. He was just an innocent college student before he traveled through time. He was the kind of person who was cheated by people using counterfeit money when he was selling jelly at a stall during the summer vacation.

If Snape had not suddenly barged in and sensed some of his emotions again due to his drastic emotional fluctuations, he probably would not have dared to continue to insist on his words.

"Do you think I would believe that you, a little wizard who came out of a Muggle orphanage and didn't even know what magic was, could successfully learn a complex dark magic by yourself without anyone teaching you?"

"Heh, the Corpse Control Curse, this level of magic, even if students in the fourth or fifth grade come here, they dare not say that they can learn it in just a few days!"

Snape sneered sarcastically.

"Perhaps you do have some gifts from God, a natural Legilimency..." Snape began to walk back and forth in the shabby living room.

His eyes were fixed on Ian the entire time. "But there are many people in this world who are more talented than you. Don't you think you can be more powerful than the mysterious man?"

Typical Snape-style sarcasm.

"I didn't say anything like that, Professor."

Ian whispered back.

"It seems that you have flipped through your History of Magic textbook these days and know who the mysterious man is... That's good." Snape continued to observe Ian's reaction.

Suddenly.

He changed the subject again and raised his voice.

"In that case, you shouldn't use your giant brain to make up such stupid lies and try to make me believe that you can do something that the mysterious man can't do."

"I can tell you straight away that when he was your age, You-Know-Who didn't know this kind of dark magic." Snape's eyes looked as vicious as if he wanted to eat Ian alive. "Hiss, do you know the true identity of You-Know-Who?"

Ian tried to change the subject by using shock.

But Snape still didn't take the bait.

He still looked at Ian viciously.

"I can definitely send you to Azkaban right now, and let the Aurors use your proud Legilimency to dig out your secrets, and then you will live there with Dementors for the rest of your life."

"The reason I didn't do this is because I wanted to give you a chance... You have to understand that it is because of your status as a Hogwarts student that I was able to give you this opportunity!"

Snape threatened Ian in a harsh voice.

"Professor, I don't want to go to Azkaban."

Ian looked at Snape in panic.

This is a half-true and half-false attitude.

I am definitely panicking.

But he was not worried about being sent to Azkaban - he was not a fool, and of course he could see that there must be some kind of relationship between him and Snape.

If not.

Not to mention giving him money and arranging accommodation for him, just being able to take him to Diagon Alley to buy some second-hand teaching materials could be considered a sign that Snape was in a good mood that day.

"If you don't want to go to jail, then tell me who taught you the black magic."

Snape stared at Ian.

"It was a dark wizard. He had a note and dropped it in front of me."

Ian still insisted on his original statement. There was no other way. He really couldn't bear to part with the "Advanced Dark Magic Revealed" annotated by Grindelwald himself.

Knowledge is innocent!

"Snapped!"

Snape was so angry that he slapped the table.

"Good! Very good! You think that if I can't find that dark wizard, I won't be able to verify your ridiculous statement, right?" Snape spoke as if there was something else stuffed in his mouth.

Gritting teeth.

The bytes seem to be squeezed out from between the teeth.

"I am telling the truth."

Ian once again acted innocent but a little bewildered.

Ok.

The truth can indeed be considered the truth, but it is not the entire truth, and then there are some artistic embellishments added... How can it not be called the truth?

"A smart little brat!"

Snape sneered.

immediately.

He grabbed some paper and pen on the table and wrote a long list on the paper.

"what are you doing?"

Ian asked curiously.

"This is a note dropped by a dark wizard. Come on, Mr. Prince, prove your talent that is more powerful than the You-Know-Who, and maybe even more powerful than Dumbledore!"

Snape handed the paper to Ian.

The voice was extremely sarcastic.

His eyes also became teasing and mocking.

"Are you teaching me magic?"

Ian's eyes lit up.

I immediately looked at the paper in my hand impatiently.

as predicted.

The note did record the detailed principles of a magic trick.
