Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

Chapter 135: Snape's handle? News about McCall Dohorov!

When Ryan took Hermione into the cellar, and familiarly found the secret compartment next to the door of the Potions Office and opened the tightly closed door.

Hermione's eyes nearly widened.

Although the news has already spread throughout Hogwarts Castle that Ryan Elias is Professor Snape's most special student, not only is he praised by Professor Snape in class, but he also often comes in and out of the Potions Office.

It is said that the latter returns to the Potions Office as naturally as going home. It is rumored that some young wizards have even seen Professor Snape personally pour tea for Ryan.

But knowing is one thing, and seeing it with your own eyes is another.

However, despite her surprise, Hermione was soon frightened by the gloomy atmosphere of the Potions Office, the mountains of bottles and jars, and the various biological fragments in the jars.

After all, if you are a witch, it is hard not to be scared by a huge eyeball.

"Don't be afraid, Hermione—that's the eye of a Cyclops Sea Anemone. You should know its effects... You need it to make the developing potion."

Ryan consoled him, "Professor Snape, he just... um... the decoration is rather unique. Actually, if you get used to it, you'll find it's a cozy place."

Where is the warmth?

Hermione wanted to ask this, but she ended up just shrinking tighter.

Soon, Ryan and Hermione saw Ron and Harry deep in the Potions Office.

At this time, the two of them were wearing dragon leather gloves and handling a pile of sticky liquid.

Ryan recognized the snot of the fire lizard - the key ingredient in refining the flamethrower potion, which was known to be difficult to process and disgusting.

It moves on its own like a slug and has a penetrating feel. Even if you're wearing dragon-skin gloves, you can still feel the warm and sticky feeling.

"Oh!"

But Hermione breathed a sigh of relief at this moment: "Great, Harry, Ron... they're fine!"

"...I think dealing with the salamander's snot is a problem in itself. Didn't you see how pale their faces turned?"

Ryan looked at him in surprise: "What do you think Professor Snape will do to them? Drain their blood? And then eat them?"

After hearing this, Hermione chuckled and said nothing.

In fact, her worst guess was worse than Ryan had said – after seeing all the jars and cans in the Potions Office, she almost thought she might see Harry and Ron in one of them.

I can only say that the environment of the Potions Office is too scary.

"Ryan? Hermione?"

At this moment, seeing Hermione and Ryan entering the office, Harry and Ron, who were pale, widened their eyes.

"Are you here to rescue us? Are you Headmaster Dumbledore... Ugh!"

Ron couldn't help but dry heave halfway through his words - he had obviously vomited many times before.

Harry didn't say anything, but he also looked at Ryan and Hermione with anticipation.

"Oh, actually Headmaster Dumbledore doesn't know about this yet."

Ryan said softly.

"Come on, let's talk outside."

But when the two little wizards looked desperate, he raised his hand and waved casually.

Then Harry and Ron saw all the salamander slime beside them fly back into the potion jar not far away.

So the three little wizards, including Hermione, looked at Ryan in disbelief.

"go out?"

But Harry and Ron didn't dare to move at this moment.

Especially Harry - his face was extremely pale at this moment, as if the mucus did not fly back into the jar but flew into his stomach.

"Get out...leave...I'm fired, right?"

He almost turned into a black and white wooden stake.

Obviously, he has calmed down now and realized the consequences of his previous gaffe.

"Oh, of course not."

Ryan shook his head.

But Hermione told him at this moment: "Ryan, Snape... Professor there is no way he can let Harry and Ron leave like this. You don't know how angry he was before..."

She said this.

But Ryan just smiled after hearing this.

He didn't explain much, but just looked towards the deepest part of the Potions Office not far away - it was shrouded in shadows and black cloth, and looked very creepy.

But Ryan now knew that it was just a potion laboratory that Snape had cast a 'Lightless Spell' and a 'Sealing Spell' on - many potions required a lightless environment to be brewed.

"Professor Snape, I'll take Harry and Ron first."

Ryan said loudly.

But the Potions Office remained silent.

Seeing this, Ryan added, "Or is there something you want to tell him in person?"

then....

"Take them away."

Snape's drawn-out, gloomy voice finally rang out.

There seemed to be a subtle tremor in his voice - it was anger, tension or some other complex mixture of emotions.

So at this moment, Hermione, Harry and Ron all widened their eyes.

"Let's go."

Ryan didn't explain much, just shrugged, and then left the Potions Office with the three of them.

But just as he was about to leave the office, he suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back to the back of the office, saying, "By the way, Professor—I've got some new research material and will come back to see you in a few days... In the meantime, please save some of the 'research materials' when you're doing your research. I'll compare them later."

he said softly.

He was obviously talking about Dementors.

"Ah."

Snape replied quietly.

So Ryan said nothing more and left the Potions Office with Hermione, Harry and Ron.

And when they walked out of the cold cellar and saw the sunlight pouring down from the sky.

Harry and Ron felt like they had escaped death and were almost crying.

Especially Harry - he was almost certain that he was going to be expelled, and the thought of leaving Hogwarts and returning to Privet Drive made him feel that he might as well have been killed by Peter Pettigrew's Killing Curse a few months ago.

But soon, Ron couldn't help but ask.

"Brother, you... are incredible. Just now, Snape - did you catch him with something? I'm willing to exchange all my assets for it!"

He spoke hesitantly and could hardly speak clearly.

"That sounds very insincere."

But Hermione commented sharply.

Although she couldn't be sure, she felt that Ron's total assets should not exceed five Galleons.

"Me too."

But Harry was very sincere at this moment - he had a lot of Galleons in his vault, and he was indeed willing to give up all his assets in exchange for Snape's handle, just like Ron.

He would spread the secret, making Snape lose face, and maybe even get him expelled or sent to Azkaban!

Harry felt relieved at the thought of this possibility.

But jokes aside, the fear in the hearts of the three little wizards at this moment was certainly not fake.

Ryan rescued them from the Potions Office with just two sentences - if the little lions knew about this, Ryan's reputation would probably reach a level almost as great as Merlin's.

Whenever Snape tortured the little wizards in the Lion's Court, they would probably say "Lion's stinky socks" to seek protection!

But at this moment, Hermione's reaction was naturally the fastest.

"You just said that Professor Snape had something to tell Harry? And you and Professor Snape...what were you researching together?"

She heard something from the conversation between Ryan and Snape just now.

Upon hearing this, Harry quickly looked at Ryan: "Ryan, is it... is it about my parents? And Sirius Black..."

He had obviously recovered from the surprise of being saved from a desperate situation, and immediately realized that Ryan might know the truth he was looking for.

"Don't worry, Harry... I'll tell you everything."

Ryan said softly.

That's right.

He had been planning to find an opportunity to tell Harry about Snape and Sirius, and now was the perfect time.

"But before that, we need to find a quiet place... and by the way, you two need to use a cleansing spell to deal with the slime on your bodies."

Fifteen minutes later, the Room of Requirement.

"Oh, this is amazing...incredible—I never knew there was a place like this in school!"

Looking at the reception room filled with desserts, tea tables and chairs, Ron exclaimed in disbelief.

Although Hermione and Harry didn't exclaim, it could be seen from their expressions that they were no less surprised than Ron.

"yes..."

Ryan nodded.

He had never told Harry and the others about the existence of the Room of Requirement, nor had he told Cedric or Qiu Zhang - so far, the only people who knew about this room were the twins whom he unexpectedly met when he first entered the Room of Requirement.

This is certainly not because Ryan is stingy, but because he found a Horcrux in the Room of Requirement.

Although Ryan did not know that the Horcrux belonged to Voldemort at that time, the existence of this dark magic prop was enough to illustrate the danger of the Room of Requirement.

There are many secrets in Hogwarts, and no one knows whether there might be a second Horcrux or some dark magic props hidden here.
