Chapter 50
At dinner in the evening, Harry saw Snape limping.
Although he had noticed it yesterday, he didn't think much about it at the time. After what happened today, and knowing from William and the others that Snape and Quirrell might want to kill him,
Harry was more concerned about Snape's behavior and why he was limping.
So, when Snape finished dinner and left the restaurant, Harry put down his food and hurriedly followed him.
Snape limped back to the staff room, and Harry followed him stealthily.
Suddenly, Harry heard footsteps approaching slowly, and he hurriedly found a hidden place to hide and secretly observed the situation outside.
The person who came was Filch, who had some bandages in his hand.
Harry saw Filch knock on the door of the staff room, and Snape's voice came from inside:"Come in."
Filch pushed the door and walked in. Harry hurried out of his hiding place and approached the door carefully.
Harry found that the door of the staff room was not closed tightly, so he leaned forward to the crack and looked inside. What he saw was a horrible scene.
There were only Snape and Filch in the room. Snape had lifted his robe above his knees.
One of his legs was covered in blood and flesh, and Filch was handing him a bandage.
Snape said,"Damn it, how could you keep an eye on three heads at the same time?"
Harry was startled when he heard this and planned to leave.
But it was too late. Snape inside had already discovered him.
"Potter!"
Snape quickly put down his robes to cover his injured leg. His face was twisted with anger.
Harry felt that he couldn't breathe.
"Professor, I…"
Before Harry could find an excuse, Snape roared,"Get out! Get out!"
Harry didn't wait for Snape to deduct points from Gryffindor, and he ran all the way up the stairs.
"" Harry, have you been chased by a dog? Why are you running so fast?"
William, who met Harry in front of the Fat Lady's portrait, laughed and teased.
Harry was panting and his words were a little unclear.
William patted him on the shoulder:"Okay, don't talk for now, go in and take a rest first."
Hermione stepped forward and gave the Fat Lady a command, revealing the hole behind the portrait, and the three of them went in one after another.
Harry sat in the armchair to rest for a while, and then he told her everything he had just seen.
"Do you know what this means?"
Finally, he held his breath and said,"He wants to pass by the three-headed giant dog. He is looking for the thing that the big dog is guarding!"
"And I guess it should be the day before Halloween two days ago. The troll appeared without any warning that day. He must have released it to divert people's attention."
William's eyes were wide open and his mouth was slightly open. He didn't expect things to develop to this point.
The grudge between Harry and Snape is really tangled.
He has already dragged Quirrell into it, but Harry finally chose to doubt Snape. This may be the fate.
Even this time, even Hermione agreed with Harry's inference. After all, during the day, Snape's behavior did seem to be harming Harry.
Of course, Ron, who heard the news just after returning from dinner, was also very worried.
"I think it's him, but what is Snape looking for? What is the big dog guarding?"
"Find a chance to ask Hagrid, he was the one who lent the big dog to Dumbledore, he must know something."
When William went to bed, he was still thinking in his mind, is there an invisible hand in this world that controls everything.
Those things that go off track will eventually be brought back on track by this invisible hand. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
But in his heart, William always believed that man can conquer nature, and strength is the foundation of everything.
The next day was Sunday, and William received a letter from Hagrid inviting him, who helped William find a Bowtruckle.
Harry also wanted to ask Hagrid some questions, so the four of them came to Hagrid's hut again.
Hagrid was still so enthusiastic, making tea for them and serving them the rock cakes he made himself.
William couldn't wait to ask,"Hagrid, where is the Bowtruckle you mentioned?"[]
Seeing William so anxious, Hagrid laughed.
"William, don't worry, you need to prepare some things first, otherwise the Bowtruckle won't go with you."
"Don't worry, Hagrid, I've prepared it."William said as he took out a glass jar from his sleeve, which was full of ground turtles.
Ground turtles are the favorite food of Bowtruckles. If you give a Bowtruckle ground turtles, it will be comforted for a long time.
Seeing that William was already prepared, Hagrid nodded with satisfaction.
Then he took down a small twig-like Bowtruckle from his collar.
It was very small, and it looked no bigger than one of Hagrid's fingers. Its two small brown eyes stared at the glass jar in William's hand.
Seeing its eager little eyes, William couldn't help but open the glass jar and handed it over.
Harry and the others also gathered around curiously. They should have never seen such a magical creature as the Bowtruckle.
Under the temptation of William's jar of ground turtles, the Bowtruckle soon fell and became William's pet.
After looking at the Bowtruckle for a while, Harry finally asked Hagrid his own question.
"Hagrid, I found out something about Snape. He was bitten by that big three-headed dog. We think he was trying to steal something the dog was guarding."
"That big dog should be the three-headed dog Fluffy you mentioned earlier. Hagrid, can you tell me what it is guarding?"
Hearing Harry's words, Hagrid put down the teapot heavily.
""Don't you want to die? Fluffy is very dangerous to you, and he is guarding a top secret, so don't ask nonsense questions, okay?"
Hagrid's rude words did not make Harry restrain himself at all. He said anxiously,"But Snape wanted to steal it."
Hagrid said firmly,"Nonsense! Snape is a teacher at Hogwarts, he would never do such a thing."
""Then why was he bitten by the three-headed dog?" Harry asked loudly.
Hagrid said irritably:"This is none of your business. Now, listen to me, all of you. You are interfering in things that have nothing to do with you. This is very dangerous!"
"Forget the big dog, forget what it's guarding, this is the difference between Professor Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel.——"
"Aha! So this involves a man called Nicolas Flamel, right?"
Hagrid was furious when he heard this. He was angry with himself.
William hadn't spoken a word, but the corners of his mouth twitched. Hagrid must have grown up drinking truth serum, and he would tell the truth.
