HP: Wizards at Hogwarts

Chapter 98 Taking Advantage of Freebies (Please Subscribe!!)

Half an hour later.

Snape's face darkened as he looked at the materials Elaine had taken away.

"The materials you have are not the recipe for any known potion!"

For a fleeting moment, Elaine even wondered if the man in front of him was actually a black man with dreadlocks in disguise.

"I think that's how it should be."

"As I just mentioned, I want to research new potions."

Who knew you weren't talking about the "new type of potion with better effects" as before, but rather a "new potion with different functions"?!

Snape sneered again.

"So our Mr. Yakut has become so arrogant that he thinks he can develop a new potion after only studying potions for a few months?!"

"You think you're smarter than those potions masters who've been researching for decades, don't you?!"

"You think you can figure out the properties of all these hundreds of ingredients just by using a few secondhand potion textbooks?!"

It's clear that Snape was genuinely angry.

He actually used parallel sentences!

"Sometimes I really don't know whether you or Mr. Potter are more arrogant and unrealistic!"

"Did you pick up those stupid lions' bad habits after you pulled out the Gryffindor sword?"

'

Why bring up Harry at this time?

You're showing him way too much favoritism!

Also, the Gryffindor sword was pulled out two months ago, why are you still bringing it up now?!

"I want you to remember that you are a Hufflepuff, so you should do more things befitting that identity!"

"For example, spend your free time cooking and eating, instead of wasting your time, forming cliques at school, and participating in club activities!"

Feed, feed —

What does it mean that Hufflepuffs should cook and eat?

What do you mean by saying that forming a gang is neglecting one's duties and forming cliques?!

This is pure prejudice and discrimination!!

After spitting out a long rant, Snape stood there panting heavily.

If it weren't for the fact that the person standing in front of him was a young and vigorous potion master, Elaine would have worried that he would have a heart attack and die on the spot.

"Professor, could I have another can of dragon's blood?"

Snape: Rage ↑↑↑

"Get out of here!!!"

Alright~

Having already obtained the item, Elaine didn't linger. He turned and left, closing the door behind him as he went.

Looking at the collection room after Elaine's rampage, Snape felt even more frustrated.

This weekend, Harry will finally get to play Quidditch.

Elaine wasn't particularly interested in Quidditch, but as Harry's best friend, he naturally had to go over and cheer him on.

During the match, Harry's broom bounced.

Hermione, sitting in the audience, quickly discovered the source of the unexpected incident—Snape, who was highly suspected of casting a curse.

The young witch decisively used a fire charm to set Snape's robes ablaze, incidentally giving Quirrell, who was actually up to no good, a good elbow strike and cleverly defusing Harry's crisis.

Ultimately, the match ended with Harry winning the Golden Snitch, and Gryffindor emerging victorious.

After the match, Hermione told Harry and Ron about her discovery.

"You guys always said that Professor Snape was targeting Harry, and I didn't really believe it."

"After all, Elaine was always going against him in Potions class, and had even bribed the Slytherin students," so he didn't really target Elaine.

"But now I believe it."

Because Ravenclaw and Gryffindor did not take Potions class together, Hermione did not have a clear understanding of Snape's bullying of Harry.

In her view, how could a professor deliberately target a student? It must be that the student didn't do well enough!

But after today's incident, her thinking has finally changed.

"Thank goodness, you finally believe me," Ron exclaimed.

Hermione rolled her eyes at Ron: "But I still don't understand why he's targeting Harry specifically?"

'

"I don't know either. Perhaps Hagrid knows something?"

"Perfect timing, I was also looking to ask Hagrid about the treasures in the fourth-floor corridor."

Harry then shared his theory about Snape stealing the treasure: "Hermione, what do you think of my theory?"

Hermione thought about it carefully and said, "Well—at least so far, I think your guess is correct."

"Great! I knew I was right!"

Harry exclaimed excitedly, "You know what? I told Elaine about this before, but he just wouldn't believe me!"

After discussing it, the three of them agreed that the situation had reached a critical point and they could not wait any longer. So they rushed to find Elaine and forcibly dragged him to Hagrid's cabin.

Along the way, the group ran into Malfoy again.

With the idea of ​​sharing both the good times and the bad, Elaine simply dragged Malfoy into the team as well.

Hagrid's Hut.

Hagrid warmly welcomed the five unexpected visitors with his favorite rock bread and strong tea.

"You're saying Snape is going to kill Harry?"

"That's impossible!"

"Although Snape and Harry's father didn't get along well, Harry is still Lily's child, so—"

"I mean, Snape is a professor at Hogwarts, after all; he wouldn't do that!"

"Is Snape going to steal something from the fourth-floor hallway?"

"That's impossible!"

"Because Snape himself was one of those who set the trap!"

"Listen, you're getting involved in something very dangerous, something Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel are doing—oh God, I've said too much!"

The group talked for less than half an hour before Hagrid asked them to leave his hut.

Before leaving, Elaine took a large bag of "priceless junk" from Hagrid—items Hagrid had collected from magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest.

"So, you forcibly dragged me here just to let me know about your absurd and outrageous conjecture?"

On the way back to the castle, Malfoy kept muttering complaints.

Harry muttered, "It was Elaine who insisted on bringing you here; I never intended for you to join!"

Malfoy laughed upon hearing this: "Isn't it obvious then?"

"What's so obvious?" Harry frowned, his expression turning unfriendly.

Malfoy said smugly, "In Elaine's heart, I am the more trustworthy friend!"

"Got it? It's me, not you, you bastard!"

Harry was struck dumb, frozen in place, unable to utter a single word.

Pop, pop!

Two slaps landed on the back of Malfoy and Harry's heads, silencing their verbal sparring.

Elaine rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"You two can go and fight it out yourselves, don't drag me into this!"

"I'm not going to be part of your play!"
