After receiving the sugar-free snack from Rolf, Hermione glanced at him in surprise, then took a small bite and found that it was mint flavored. This made her sneak another look at Rolf, but
I found that he was also looking at me, so I lowered my head and took another bite of the snack, but my face turned red.
"What happened? It's not in line with your usual style to rush out in a hurry without even looking at the road."
"Nothing..."
Thinking of what Ron said in the corridor, Hermione put down the snack in her hand again. But she was too strong not to admit it. Seeing Hermione like this, Roff sighed softly in her heart. She really had to be strong.
.
"Did someone say bad things about you?"
"..."
"It seems I was right, but this is Gryffindor's usual style."
"?"
"Compared to the unity and tolerance of Hufflepuff House, the isolation of Ravenclaw, Gryffindor and Slytherin are the houses most prone to various small groups and bullying. Obviously, you have been isolated.
,because of your excellence."
"Why? I obviously added so many points to the college."
"They don't care, or rather, they are praising the brave Gryffindor, and they are even proud of challenging the teacher's authority. Although I never think that is true bravery, at least that's what they think. And you
The problem is that your excellence makes their mediocrity too obvious."
"You mean, they are jealous of me? This... this is too ridiculous. This is the college where Dumbledore was once? The best college in Hogwarts?"
"How should I put it? You can't have too high expectations for someone just because they have studied in a certain college. After all, 99% of the prisoners in Azkaban are Hogwarts graduates.
The remaining one percent were expelled after halfway through their studies. But just because of this, you can’t think that Hogwarts is a place dedicated to training criminals.”
"Pfft, how could you say that? Then wouldn't we all become alternative criminals?"
Seeing Hermione being amused, Rolf breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his persuasion had worked.
"Of course, Gryffindor also has their advantages, and you also have those qualities, so you were sorted into Gryffindor by the Sorting Hat. After all, they are all children now, so just give them more time." "Huh, you're not much older than them, you still speak in such an old-fashioned way."
Although Hermione said this, she was secretly happy that Rolf did not treat her as a child. Little did she know that her secretly happy behavior was exactly what a child would look like when he was recognized. Just when Rolf was preparing the gift and opening his mouth, his
But his stomach also made a growling sound, and he was hungry too.
"Uh-huh...Fortunately, I was prepared, hehehe."
Facing Hermione's teasing look, Rolf took out another piece of dessert that was exactly the same as Hermione's hand, shook it as if to show off, and then took a big bite.
"Well, it tastes pretty good."
"I remember Professor McGonagall once said that magic cannot directly create delicious food."
"But you can make it in advance and then send it to the designated location through magic. Do you want to learn?"
"Of course."
"I'll teach you next time, hahahaha!"
Rolf smiled while dodging the slap from the girl, and Hermione immediately chased after him. Compared to the two chasing each other in the twilight, Harry and Ron were in much worse condition.
"You mean, you used a floating spell to kill this adult giant monster?"
"Yes...yes, professor."
"Do you know what will happen to you if you lie to me? And I know a potion. It only takes one drop, and you will answer all your questions and tell all your secrets."
"Okay Snape, we are not going to use Veritaserum on the students. And I think the truth is as they say, they killed the troll that broke into the castle. Gryffindor will be because of it.
Five points will be deducted for their reckless behavior, but ten points will be added for their courage and actions."
"Hmph, I think they should leave anyway. Next we have to study why this giant monster broke into the castle at this time."
Faced with Dumbledore's favoritism towards Gryffindor House, Snape was a little dissatisfied, but he did not dare to refute him. What's more, in his daily actions, he was more partial to Slytherin, so he naturally lost the blame.
The other party’s position.
Therefore, he could only find an excuse to drive away these three annoying guys, so as not to stay here and make him uncomfortable. But when Harry and the others actually left, he looked at Harry meaningfully, until
He completely disappeared from sight.
When Harry faced Snape's gaze, he felt uncomfortable all over. That gaze contained too many things, unconcealable disgust and hatred, and seemed to contain a hint of hidden tenderness. But he felt that that gaze contained too much.
It must be his misunderstanding. How could Snape be gentle to him?
In the end, the trio returned to the dormitory with pride and glory. Harry and Ron could not wait to share their experiences. Neville was still immersed in the fact that his father's wand was broken and did not know how to face his grandmother's troubles.
Among.
However, his two friends also comforted him. Although his father's wand was broken, it was to protect his companions and it was an accident. His grandmother would only be proud of his brave behavior and would not blame him.
.But no matter what, he had to face this fact now and began to write to his grandmother about everything that happened today, and asked to buy a brand new wand.
When the trio returned to the dormitory, Rolf and Hermione also ended their walk by the Black Lake and returned to the castle. Due to Dumbledore's previous order, the castle auditorium was already empty at this time.
They missed dinner, but fortunately they ate a lot of snacks while at the lake, so they weren't hungry.
"What happened? Why is everyone gone? Dinner shouldn't be over yet at this time."
"I think something happened, and I should know it early tomorrow morning. What you have to do now is go back to the dormitory and have a good rest."
"Um...Okay. See you tomorrow then?"
"...You can say this again after I send you back to Gryffindor's common room."
Rolf, who knew what happened, was still worried about Hermione going back to the dormitory alone. Instead, he insisted on walking all the way to the door of Gryffindor's lounge, and watched her say the password and walk into the door behind the portrait of the Fat Lady.
