Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

Ryan also had a subtle look on his face, because Pansy Parkinson's words really sounded like the words of a little witch who was just beginning to fall in love and was having a secret date.

He has received quite a few love letters with similar wording recently.

"Oh, I don't think so."

But Simo said at this moment: "She looked very serious when she asked me to tell her something. I think she might have something to tell you..."

So Ryan nodded.

He thought about it and felt that the situation was a bit strange.

If Pansy Parkinson wanted to confess her feelings, then there was no reason for her to ask Tosimo to deliver the message - a love letter expressing her feelings would obviously be more direct, and Gemini even provided a delivery service.

And the location she chose was the dock...a place that young wizards and even faculty members usually don't go to.

Plus the time every Sunday - at least Ryan has never heard of any little witch confessing her love and making an appointment with someone every Sunday.

so...

"Sunday? That's today?"

Ryan muttered.

"Yeah... Anyway, it's up to you whether you want to go or not—I'm leaving first. Can I take this cheesecake to go?"

"Oh, of course."

So, Seamus also said goodbye and left.

Hermione was the only one left in the dormitory.

"Will you go?"

Hermione asked curiously, "Dating a Slytherin at night... I'm starting to suspect some conspiracy."

Her words seemed to carry subtle emotions.

"Oh, I'm not sure either, Hermione."

Ryan shook his head: "Tell me, Hermione - you came to me because..."

He looked at Hermione, a little confused: "Speaking of which, where are Harry and Ron?"

"They were put in solitary confinement."

And speaking of this, Hermione looked a little worried.

In fact, that was exactly why she was here.

The story begins with the newspaper she brought today.

After Sirius escaped from prison, news about him spread like wildfire.

Of course, neither Harry, Ron nor Hermione had paid much attention to this - they had been busy preparing for their final exams and had no time to care about anything else.

but...

"Harry and Ron were caught by Filch on their night out in the library a while ago - Ron said Filch's cat was sick, and it was making him upset, and he's been completely erratic on his night patrols lately."

Hermione said helplessly.

"Harry was punished by Filch to clean his office. He thought his cat got sick because the environment was not clean...While cleaning, Harry found Filch's punishment book - that was the book where he recorded the punishments for the little wizards who did not follow the school rules..."

"Harry saw his father's name on it, and Sirius was listed alongside his name almost every time."

"Besides that, he saw Peter Pettigrew's name in the punishment book, and someone called Remus Lupin, and... Severus Snape."

"The school rules they violated were basically 'private fighting'."

When Hermione said this, Ryan's brows were already furrowed.

He knew very well that Harry was curious and active about everything about his parents, so...

"We looked up the relevant information and found some information about Sirius and the crime for which he was imprisoned."

When Hermione said this, she couldn't help but look at Ryan.

"He was charged with many crimes, but the two biggest ones were that he was directly responsible for the 'death of James and his wife', and that he 'hunted down and killed Peter Pettigrew and several Muggles in public.'"

Then Ryan began to frown.

because...

"You told Harry that Peter Pettigrew was his attacker—and that this man was a friend of Harry's father."

When Hermione said this, Ryan had already realized the problem.

And sure enough...

"Ryan."

At this moment, Hermione was looking at him with complicated eyes: "Sirius is innocent, right? He was imprisoned wrongly? Peter Pettigrew is the murderer who killed Harry's parents?"

"So that's why you and Dumbledore are going to Azkaban?"

So at this moment, Ryan couldn't help but look at Hermione in admiration.

He had long known that the little witch was very smart, but it was obvious that her intelligence still exceeded his expectations.

She actually guessed the truth about Sirius.

"I suppose you told Harry about this idea?"

So, he asked softly.

And Hermione nodded as a matter of course.

And in fact, it was this incident that caused the problem.

"Harry was very excited - he wanted to know the truth about his parents' death, and about Sirius..."

When Hermione said this, the worry in her eyes became more intense.

"He went to confront Professor Snape, and... well..."

She hesitated a little.

But Ryan knew very well - with Snape's complicated attitude towards Harry, it was not difficult to imagine that Harry must have been severely criticized by Snape again at that time.

And considering that this matter even involves the truth about the past that Snape least wants others to know.

Ryan could almost imagine the situation.

And this is indeed the case.

"What on earth is going on in that impoverished brain of yours?"

According to Hermione's description, Snape's expression was gloomier than ever before.

And his venomous tongue finally went beyond the concept of venomous tongue and became sharp and stinging.

"You think you can find the truth by flipping through some old books? Forget it, Potter - your pathetic detective game is just like your father's death... stupid, self-righteous and worthless!"

Snape even seemed to be grinding his teeth as he said this.

Therefore, the subsequent results can be imagined.

"Harry couldn't stand Snape's humiliation of his father. He angrily scolded Snape and cursed him..."

"Snape easily blocked his spell and knocked him and Ron down."

Hermione's voice became anxious when she spoke here.

"They are in the Potions office right now - they haven't come out since yesterday. I... I'm afraid for Harry and the others..."

obviously.

Hermione also knew that the situation this time was obviously different from the past.

In the past, even if Harry was dissatisfied with Snape, he always restrained himself and did not lose his composure.

Snape could lock them up, he could punish them, but that was the best he could do.

But this time is different.

Harry not only insulted the professor, but also cursed Snape...which was even enough to get him expelled!

This was also the reason why she went to find Ryan as soon as she heard that he had returned to the castle.

From what she now knows, Ryan may be the most reliable help she can find.

not to mention...

"Ryan, you and Headmaster Dumbledore have been working together a lot recently. Perhaps you can..."

She said.

In her opinion, the only person who could stop Snape from expelling Harry was Dumbledore as the headmaster - not even Professor McGonagall could intervene.

but...

"No, Hermione."

But she found that after hearing her words, Ryan's expression became a little strange.

"Professor Snape—he won't expel Harry."

"I can guarantee that he is probably the person in the whole school who least wants Harry to be expelled!"

Ryan knew it well.

If it were the previous Snape, then out of his hatred and anger towards James Potter, he might really expel Harry... or at least give Harry a lesson he would never forget.

But, now... after Snape had seen hope of saving Ms. Lily.

Ryan was sure that Snape was definitely the person in the entire school who could least tolerate Harry being expelled - he might not even want Harry to be out of his sight.

Because the fragment of Lily Potter's soul is in Harry's body!

so...

"Let's go."

Under Hermione's incomprehensible expression, Ryan stood up.

"Let's go to the Potions office...um...see what's going on!"
