Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 10 Professor Snape

It would be bad if Ivan evaluated the trip in two words.

Especially as they were approaching Hogwarts, the car was clearly exhausted, and after a loud glide, it landed on a battered willow next to the school forbidden forest, making the trip a terrible one.

Crazy branches suddenly smoked over, watching themselves risk being shot into meat sauce, Ivan closed his eyes scared, and he could hear Ron and Harry screaming.

The car was severely deformed and scattered pieces of glass ripped the boys' cheeks open.

Ivan tried to pull out his wand, but it didn't succeed, and the car shook so hard that he and Harry crashed into each other. Outside, a branch as thick as a siege gavel is madly smashing the roof, as if it were going to recede.

“Run!” Ron shouted so hard that he pushed open the door, and immediately after that, he was beaten back by another branch.

“We're fucked!” The roof collapsed, just one last time.

Just when the three men were desperate, the car engine suddenly rebooted and escaped with them under the beating willow.

Evan was thrown out of the car before he could breathe a sigh of relief, and beside him was Harry, Ron and three other people's luggage. Then he saw the car head go into the darkness without returning, and the taillights were still flashing angrily.

“Can you believe this bad luck, so many trees, we have to hit the one that will hit!” Ron's face was bitter and he leaned over to hold the mouse spots. His wand broke when he landed and was connected only by a few pieces of wood.

He looked back at the ancient tree, and it was still waving its branches threateningly.

“Let's go!” Harry was exhausted and said, "We'd better go to school, Ivan's going to the hospital, it's just in time. ”

Not at all as triumphant as initially imagined, the three boys arrived with stiff limbs and cold and painful bodies. They grabbed the broken box and started dragging it up the grass slope towards the two wooden doors.

“Look, the party has begun!” Ron pointed at a bright window in the distant auditorium and said, "Hey, we better hurry, I saw Professor McGonagall take out the cap and we're going to the precinct! ”

Harry and Evan looked in the window with Ron's finger in the direction.

In a spacious and bright auditorium, countless candles are parked in mid-air, with four long tables surrounded by people, with golden plates and goblets gleaming on the table and stars on the ceiling.

Ivan read in Hogwarts A History that the ceiling was enchanted to reflect the sky outside.

Across a densely numb black spiked Hogwarts hat, Ivan saw freshmen lined up to walk into the auditorium with care and courage. Ginny was among them, and she looked pale and seemed to be looking for herself from time to time.

Meanwhile, Professor McGonagall, wearing glasses and tightly tied his hair into a small round hammer, placed the famous Hogwarts cap on the bench in front of the freshman.

Professor McGonagall began to read his name, and a very skinny grey-haired boy was called to the front, wearing a branch hat.

“Come on, it's five minutes from here through the corridor to the auditorium, hoping you don't run into a skinny ghost. ”

“Wait!” Harry whispered suddenly, "There's an empty seat on the faculty table. Where's Snape? ”

“Who knows, maybe he's sick!” Ron said with hope.

“Maybe he's gone.” Harry was excited to say, "Because he wasn't a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher! ”

“Maybe he's fired!” Ron gets excited, "you know, everybody hates him! ”

“Perhaps he was standing outside the door, waiting to hear us explain to him why there was no school train.” Ivan sighed heavily.

He saw a skinny, grey-yellow, hawkeye-nosed, oily, long-haired, black-haired man standing on the steps outside the castle gate, looking at them coldly.

The smile on Snape's face told Ivan that the three of them were in a terrible situation.

“Ah, look who I met, the famous Harry Potter, and his two good friends.” With a slight, low hiss, Evan sees Professor Snape sweeping himself with a disgusting look, "you must think school trains are not addictive enough to play with, don't you? ”

“Sir, we don't, it's the Wall of King's Cross Station, it...”

“Quiet!” Snape coldly said, "Follow me! ”

They followed Snapeden up the stairs into the empty, echoing hall where the torch was lit. The smell of food came from the lobby, but Snape took them away from the warmth and light and went down a narrow stone staircase to the basement classroom.

“Sir, we have to go to the auditorium, and Ivan has to go to the courtyard.” Harry mustered courage.

“Quiet!” Snape interrupted Harry again, opening a door in the shady corridor, pointing inside and saying, "Get in! ”

As Snape watched, the three boys trembled into his office.

The walls are dim and there are many large glass cans on the shelves along the walls filled with disgusting liquids of various colors. The fireplace is empty, black hole.

Snape closed the door and turned around and looked at the three of them.

Like a snake watching its prey, it took a long time for him to coldly ask, "What did you do to the car? ”

“What?!” Ron stumbled and he didn't know why Snape knew about cars, could he see through others' minds?

“Weasley, while I'm your empty brain, I never have any illusions.” Snape rolls out a copy of the day's Prophet Japan, “but it's obvious you've been seen! ”

He showed them the headline: Flying Ford Anglia, Muggles surprised.

Snape's face revealed a slight smile and shouted, “Two Muggles in London are sure they saw an old sedan flying past the post office building... at noon in Norfolk, Mrs. Hertibellis, when she was getting dressed... and Mr. Angus Flint of Pebbles reported to the police... that there were six or seven Muggles. ”

“I suppose your father works in the Department for Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Products, right?” He looked up at Ron and laughed even worse, "Geez, his own son...”

Ivan noticed Harry and Ron's expressions of frustration, and they seemed to have just thought that the consequences would be unimaginable if someone found Mr. Weasley doing magic to the car.

“And!” Snape continued, "I checked the garden and found that a very precious beating willow seemed to have been badly damaged. ”

“That tree did more damage to us!” Ron came out of nowhere.

“Quiet, Weasley!” Snape shouted again, his eyes turned to Evan, "and you, Mr. Mason, I think you've found that being a Savior's companion is not a wise choice, and I think you'll be the first student ever to be expelled from Hogwarts on the day of school. ”

“No, you can't fire Ivan!” Harry shouted loudly.

“Obviously, I have this right!” Snape's eyes turned to Harry and Ron, "and as for the two of you, unfortunately, you're not my college students, and I have no right to make a decision to fire you. I'm going to find someone who really enjoys this privilege, and you wait here. ”

Harry looked pale at Snape's back. He wanted to comfort Evan, but opened his mouth and had no idea what to say. If Snape brought Professor McGonagall, he and Ron would be no better off.

She may be a little more just than Snape, but equally harsh.

If Snape fired him, he and Ron would certainly be punished the same way at Professor McGonagall's. He wasn't sure where to go after he left Hogwarts, and the Desirees would never welcome themselves, maybe he could follow Hagrid and become a school hunting guard.

Professor McGonagall walked in with Snape while Harry was confused.

Her lips were tight, and as soon as she came in, she lifted the wand and frightened all three boys to retreat, but she lit an empty fireplace, which immediately lit a flame.
