Chapter 888: Threat, Rescue
When Liu Yu walked into the restaurant, he found that it had been newly decorated, with a thousand bats fluttering over the walls and ceiling, and another thousand like low dark clouds, hovering and dancing above the table, causing the candle flames in the pumpkin's belly to flicker. The delicacies suddenly appeared on the golden plate, just like at the opening banquet.
Everyone talked about this topic while eating, and the atmosphere seemed very pleasant, but this pleasure did not last long when it was interrupted by the arrival of a person.
Quirrell burst into the dining room, his large scarf tilted on his head, a look of horror on his face, walked to the middle of the dining room, panting and shouting at Dumbledore, "Trolls...... In the basement classroom......" Quirrell fell headlong to the floor, seemingly unconscious. The dining room was in chaos, and Dumbledore had to make a few piercing fireworks explosions on his wand head before everyone fell silent.
"Chiefs!" Dumbledore gave the order in a low voice, "Get your year students to the dormitories at once!"
The students of the other three houses were already in a mess, and as soon as they heard Dumbledore's order, they immediately gathered around their prefects, anxious for him and her to take them back to the dormitory, but Liu Yu did not move.
Liu Yu didn't move, and the Slytherin students didn't go back to their dormitories like the other house students, but still sat at the Slytherin long table, and even a few students who were very nervous at first hearing Quirrell's words also sat back down. I don't know what Lu Dao is for, as soon as I saw Liu Yu's calm expression, the tension in the hearts of the Slytherin snakes also disappeared, and they all seemed to have become calm, no longer so panicked.
Forgot to mention that it was at the House Chief Challenge two days ago. Liu Yu defeated the previous House Leader and became the new House Leader of Slytherin. Moreover, Liu Yu is the first person in the history of the college to become the head of the college as a first-year student after the chief system was formulated.
"Slytherin Chief, bring the students of your house back to their dormitories, immediately!" Dumbledore quickly noticed the motionless Slytherin snakes, who were too quiet and calm compared to the other three House students, especially since they hadn't been ordered to go back to their dorms.
Snape's face was also gloomy as if ink was about to drop, and he looked at Liu Yu, who even had the leisure to stick a piece of fruit salad into his mouth with a fork, and he couldn't wait to go directly to drag him back to the Slytherin dormitory. The other professors didn't know what to do. Liu Yu became the head of the house, as the head of Slytherin, how could Snape not know the truth?!
Naturally, Snape also knew that for Slytherin, the current prefect was a decoration, a real master. The one who really has the final say is the indifferent teenager with a forehead guard tied to it - Harry Potter.
In the battle for the chief. Potter didn't even use much advanced magic. With just one move, "Armor Protection", he was able to withstand all of his opponent's magical attacks, laying the foundation for victory, which made him even more powerful and mysterious among Slytherin students.
As everyone knows, neither Snape nor the Slytherin snakes know what to do, it's not that Liu Yu doesn't want to use other magic to win, but for him now. It is impossible to defeat the senior Slytherin with pure magical ability alone.
If you want to win Liu Yu, you have to find other shortcuts, and for the current Liu Yu, his body that has been trained by martial arts and is close to King Kong's indestructible body is indeed the most useful means - the little snakes in Slytherin can't tell whether Liu Yu's defense comes from the magic "armor protection" or from the martial art "Thirteen Golden Methods that Do Not Cross the Periphery"!
Snape was certain that Potter had prevented Slytherin from returning to the dorm. But what he didn't understand was what it was for, in his perception, Potter was not a wayward person, or a fool, he was not the kind of person who did not take his own life or someone else's life seriously.
"If I'm not mistaken...... it was not the Slytherin prefect who answered Dumbledore, but Liu Yu, who looked back at Dumbledore fixedly, and no one could understand the look in his eyes: "Just now our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor said that the trolls are in the underground classroom, which means that if we go back to the Slytherin dormitory now, it is equivalent to giving Mr. Troll a big meal to the door and to the mouth." ”
"Shhh Liu Yu's words caused a gasp on both sides of the Slytherin table, they had just been frightened by the troll's invasion of Hogwarts, and now they had only reacted as soon as Liu Yu said it. yes, the trolls might be right in front of their dorm room right now, and the guy who told them to go back to the cellar was either stupid or trying to upset Slytherin.
So, naturally, Dumbledore received unkind glances from all over Slytherin, including their headmaster, Snape. The thought that if it weren't for Potter's composure, his students might have come into close contact with the trolls by now, Snape's heart felt a deep fear, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Sharp eyes unconsciously shot at Dumbledore - Snape didn't believe that the wise Archmage would make such a lowly mistake, and if he knew that this was the case and still let Slytherin go back to the cellar......
Snape's eyes were getting colder and colder as he looked at Dumbledore, which couldn't help but make him have a lot of bad associations, if the whole Slytherin Dumbledore wanted to calculate whom, then Potter was definitely in first place. Wasn't Potter Dumbledore's savior boy? Why would Dumbledore put him out of danger?
Snape didn't know about Dumbledore's plans, but he had no intention of making them a reality. Potter's safety must be guarded by himself, and this is the only thing he can do for him.
Dumbledore's eyes flashed behind his half-moon glasses, which had received dozens of unkind glances, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Dumbledore, I need your explanation." Snape's voice was sharp and cold, and he looked very seriously at the old man in front of him who had restrained himself from doing things for him with Lily's death and Potter's safety, and there was a kind of determination that he would not give up until he explained it clearly.
"Oh, Severus, you always make some mistakes when you're older, and you have to forgive an old man for his unintentional mistakes." Dumbledore's glasses flashed, but the last thing he gave Snape was an "explanation" that made him even angrier. And then. Before Snape could say anything more, Dumbledore then spoke, "Don't forget your mission, Severus, if your negligence puts him in danger...... Dumbledore's face showed an almost merciless smile, and he looked at Snape deeply, completely putting away his usual kindness.
"How dare you ......" Snape glared at Dumbledore in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that he had uttered such a threatening statement, but he quickly took a deep breath and put away his shocked expression.
Yes, I should have recognized the nature of this old man a long time ago, didn't I? When she prostrate at his feet and begged him to save Lily. This old man looked down at himself with this ruthless expression now, and asked himself "what can I give"! Lily is obviously a Gryffindor, his beloved disciple of Dumbledore, and a core member of the Order of the Phoenix, and it should have been Dumbledore's job to save him. But he took Lily's life and negotiated terms with himself!
However, at that time, when I just knew who the prophecy of the Dao was referring to, my whole heart was surrounded by fear, and I couldn't think normally at all. At that time. For the sake of Lily's life, he did not hesitate to answer "everything". Then the old man agreed, but Lily died, under the man's curse, leaving only her son, Harry Potter.
Therefore, he should have known Dumbledore's nature a long time ago. The old man in front of him was not as kind and generous as outsiders saw, he was essentially a guy who could sacrifice anyone for his own plans...... Do you still want to put Potter's life in his hands now, expecting him to save Potter's life? No, you will never make the same mistake yourself!
Snape's nails dug into his palms. He clenched his wand, and finally turned away to complete the task that Dumbledore had given him, and the corners of his robe churned behind him - Potter's life, this time he had to protect it with his own hands, this was what he promised Lily!
Neither Dumbledore nor Snape spoke loudly, making it difficult to hear in a restaurant that was so noisy because of the news that Quirrell had brought with him. Of course, except for Liu Yu, he heard the short conversation between the two clearly. Liu Yu's eyes flashed, after reading the original book, he naturally knew what Snape's mission was, and he was even seriously injured because of this mission, and he was unable to move for a period of time afterward.
Liu Yu's gaze quietly glanced at the place where Quirrell had just fallen to the ground, and sure enough, the man wrapped in the big scarf was gone. Through recent contact, Snape can barely be regarded as his friend, and Liu Yu, who is protective by nature, naturally does not want his friend to be hurt. If he doesn't know the way, it's okay, since he knows the way if he doesn't do something, it's really a little unreasonable.
"I'll leave it to you, Bowen, Anna, and let everyone stay in the dining hall until we're sure the trolls entering Hogwarts aren't a threat before going back to the dormitories." Liu Yu said to a man and a woman not far away, and the two nodded respectfully but unassumingly, watching Liu Yu stand up and leave. Bowenhill, Anna Hand, is none other than the male and female prefects of Slytherin.
"Potter ......" Seeing Liu Yu walking in the direction of the stairs, McGonagall immediately frowned and wanted to stop him, now the troll is still in the castle and I don't know where to go, how can a first-year student leave alone?
"Harry knows what he's doing, Minerva." McGonagall's shouting was interrupted by Dumbledore, although McGonagall disagreed with Dumbledore's words, but she had been used to obeying him for a long time, so even though she was very unimpressed, she still watched Liu Yu, the only Slytherin, leave the dining hall protected by several professors.
Watching Liu Yu calmly leave the dining room, Dumbledore's eyes flickered very much, he didn't know why Liu Yu was leaving after stopping the other Slytherins, but if he stayed here, his plan would be ...... However, although the plan that seemed to be risky to be carried out could be carried out, there was always a feeling of being out of his control.
From an angle that no one noticed, Dumbledore's brows furrowed slightly, the current Harry Potter, who had absolute prestige in Slytherin in the first grade, reminded him of a red-eyed boy who went to school here fifty years ago. And Harry seems to have emerged earlier than that person, you must know that that person only gathered a large number of followers after becoming a prefect, not like Harry now, who has only been in school for less than half a semester, and has already vaguely become the king of Slytherin.
Harry Potter's body. There must be a big secret that I don't know and that no one knows. I hope you don't repeat Tom's mistakes, Harry! If that's the case, I'll have to work with Charles and the mysterious man behind him, even if I don't want to...... Just in case, there will never be a new Dark Lord again, and the declining wizarding world will never be able to withstand another upheaval!
Dumbledore's gaze Liu Yu naturally felt it, and in addition to disgust, deep vigilance rose in his heart at the same time. Dumbledore had a strong desire to control, and he would not allow anyone who could not be controlled to move under his nose. Therefore, even though Dumbledore's strength was a lot worse than him, Liu Yu was still wary of him.
To know Lu Dao, in the original book, Liu Yu felt that Dumbledore was a conspirator to some extent, and after personal contact in this world. He also felt that Dumbledore was hiding a lot of secret secrets. Although with Dumbledore's character, it is unlikely that he will directly wave his wand against Liu Yu. But because of that. Liu Yu will be more careful. In terms of intrigue and trickery, even after being tempered in the illusion, Liu Yu will not think that he is an expert.
Flashing nimbly past the students who were still walking out in a panic, Liu Yu unknowingly went up to the fourth floor, the place that had been classified as a forbidden area this year. Before he could get closer, Liu Yu heard a roar and the sound of battle with infinite malice.
Snape was really fast...... Liu Yu sped up while complaining insincerely.
Turned a corner. I saw that the door that had been closed was wide open, and Snape's wand was constantly emitting various colors of light, and it was in a battle with a large dog with three heads. Looking at Snape, who had the upper hand steadily, Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he hadn't come too late, but before Liu Yu could completely spit out his breath, he suddenly saw a black shadow hidden behind a piece of armor out of the corner of his eye.
Liu Yu's eyes narrowed, and he immediately took out his wand. Almost at the moment when Liu Yu pulled out his wand, Snape jumped back two steps to avoid two of the three-headed dog's mouths, and at the same time, a magic spell deflected the third head of the three-headed dog, and at this time, the attack of the black shadow that had been observed for a long time also arrived.
"Huh!" A red light hit Snape's unsuspecting back, and Snape, who was preoccupied with the three-headed dog in front of him, didn't have the energy to care about his back, so he was hit all at once.
Snape's body stiffened instantly, and although he regained his mobility after only two or three breaths, it was clear that the three-headed dog in front of him would not let go of this good moment.
"Whew!" The head in the middle of the three-headed dog, larger than Snape's body, bit down at Snape with a stench, and all Snape could do was lean back as much as he could, leaving his legs exposed to the gaping mouth.
The three-headed dog's glittering teeth were getting closer and closer to Snape, and when his injuries seemed irreparable, suddenly a cold, childish voice echoed in the scene: "There are many obstacles! ”
"Bang!" "Whew!"
The first was a spell shouted by someone who came, the second was the sound of the three-headed dog's head hitting a transparent cover, and the last one was naturally the three-headed dog's howl of pain.
Then, before Snape and the man hiding in the shadows could react, the man took a harp from his pocket and magnified it and put it on the ground, and with a wave of his wand, the harp began to play on its own. The three-headed dog, who heard the music, immediately slowed down, and the three big heads yawned together, and their huge bodies fell to the ground with a "boom", and fell asleep with a snort.
"Perfect." The man spun his wand in his hand, apparently pleased with his actions.
However, there are people who are not satisfied, and there is more than one.
"Potter?!" It was Snape, who had just been rescued, his face gloomy and comparable to the black clouds that had just been made by magic in the cafeteria, not like he had been rescued, but as if he had some kind of enmity with Liu Yu: "Damn! Who told you to get here, Potter?! Snape roared at Liu Yu, "How dare you...... How dare you run to the forbidden area on the fourth floor by yourself knowing that there is a Merlin in Hogwarts and only knowing how long it has been a troll that has not eaten? Do you have less in your brain than a troll? ”
Snape's heart was beating as fast as if he had just finished a marathon, and his eyes were filled with worry and fear. Although Quirrell said that the trolls were in the basement, who knew if it was still honestly there, and who knew how many trolls had come into Hogwarts? Potter had come here alone, did he really think he was a savior troll and would be polite to him? Also, he actually ...... He was actually saved by Potter?!
Snape's brain was a mess, he didn't expect Potter to be here, and he did the same thing as his title "Savior" to save himself. Before the savior could save the world, he had already saved himself, a greasy old bat! Obviously, he should be the protected character, and he swore to protect him, but what backfired? No wonder Lily didn't choose herself but was with James Potter, it turned out that she was so useless, obviously Potter was right under her nose, not only did she not fulfill her promise, but ...... (To be continued......)
