late at night

Principal's Office.

"The girl almost died."

After a long silence, Snape, who was sitting in his chair, suddenly spoke.

Because the sound was too loud, the headmasters in the portrait were "woken up", and everyone stared at the rude Snape dissatisfied.

But Snape didn't bother with the dead.

"Don't you have anything to say?"

Dumbledore took his eyes off the Transfiguration of the Day in his hand and said calmly, "I remember that you always hated Hermione and began to care about her?" ”

"These are two different things!" Snape was annoyed and argued, "If the student dies, this school will close, and I don't want to ...... yet Unemployment. ”

Dumbledore squinted at the thought of a student...... The man had also said he didn't want Hogwarts to close, but ended up framing another innocent person.

Seeing the Headmaster's distraction, Snape was even more dissatisfied, he knocked on the table, and sneered, "I don't believe the great Dumbledore would have found out about the troll invasion!" ”

Dumbledore said calmly: "Severus, you think too highly of me, I am also a human being, and there are times when I am negligent. ”

Snape was clearly unconvinced, and he stared at the headmaster. "It's not like an accident."

"Of course not an accident." Dumbledore closed the book and pushed his half-moon glasses.

"In the evening, I went to the Forbidden Forest to investigate, and Gollum told me that there was one less clansman."

"Gollum?" Snape froze. "Who is this?"

"The leader of the tribe of trolls closest to Hogwarts in the Forbidden Forest." Dumbledore replied.

"He told me that some time ago, a black-robed wizard suddenly appeared and captured a clansman."

"Wait......" Snape looked at Dumbledore suspiciously, "you're still going to talk to trolls?" ”

Snape's impression was that the trolls would only make a grunting and snoring sound.

"Well, it's just some simple daily communication, didn't I tell you?" Dumbledore laughed.

"In addition to troll language, I can also speak merfolk language, fairy language, and even understand it...... Parseltongue cavity. ”

Snape looked at Dumbledore in shock, he knew that the Headmaster was powerful, but he didn't expect to be so virtuous.

"Wait...... You say you know Parseltongue? ”

"I can only understand, but I can't speak." Dumbledore blinked, "Don't look at me like that, it's always right to learn one more language."

If you are interested, I can teach you a foreign language privately. ”

"I'm not interested." Snape coldly refused.

This disappointed Dumbledore a bit.

"So, that fool named Gollum told you that one less clansman ......"

Snape hesitated.

"Headmaster, I don't mean to offend, you should know that trolls don't have good heads, right, they can count?"

Dumbledore leaned back in his chair and took a sip of his tea.

"Don't be so prejudiced, there are exceptions to everything, and there are smart ones in trolls. They are able to understand simple human language and even speak some. ”

Snape said impatiently, "Well, I think putting Longbottom among the trolls should be just right for their leader." ”

"Severus, be patient, including with that kid, you know how Neville's memory is so poor." Dumbledore said solemnly.

Snape snorted coldly, "One less clansman, this one from Hogwarts?" ”

"That's right, according to Gollum's description, and the memories I got from its head, a wizard attacked the Horde and captured a troll.

He's just as biased as you are, believing that trolls don't have a lot of intelligence, so he doesn't hide his appearance at all. ”

"Who's that man?"

"Quirrell."

"Is it really him?" Snape squinted, Dumbledore had warned him of Quirrell.

"He's the black-robed wizard who won't attack Gringotts, right?" Snape muttered to himself, he remembered last year's Tywin.

"Maybe it's him, maybe it's not."

Dumbledore had something to say, but Snape didn't understand, and he asked seriously:

"Headmaster, why did you let him go at school when you're sure it's Quirrell?"

"Harry!" Dumbledore looked directly at Snape. "We protect him, but we also have to train him, nurture him, let him hone his abilities.

So I laid out the level and left something at the end of the level that appealed to Quirrell and Harry. ”

"What's that?"

"Severus, I can't tell you yet."

Snape was silent for a moment and stood up, "I don't care about your secrets, I just hope there won't be any more accidents. ”

Dumbledore didn't speak, fighting Voldemort with his wits and courage, and he couldn't guarantee that nothing would happen.

He's not Merlin, after all.

Snape limped away, and was about to reach the door when Dumbledore pulled out a bottle.

"There are toxins in Louwe's teeth that prevent wounds from healing. Even you and Pomfrey won't be able to make an antidote in a short period of time.

It's Fox's tears...... Take it. ”

Snape took the bottle and remained silent, he had gone to the checkpoint to replenish the potions that William had stolen, each time going to the Headmaster's office.

Because Louwe wouldn't let him in.

Today, I wanted to break through urgently, but I didn't expect to be bitten by Lu Wei.

Obviously, Quirrell put the troll in as a trap to make the illusion of breaking in, to test Dumbledore.

Unexpectedly, Snape was accidentally hit and bitten by Lou Wei.

And the tears of the phoenix can dissolve all toxins, and they are the best potions.

After Snape left, Dumbledore picked up the book on the table and continued to look.

In the office, only the sound of Fawkes eating cuttlefish bones.

……

……

The Halloween troll incident quickly subsided without stirring up a splash.

As we enter November, the weather becomes very cold. The mountains surrounding the school were gray and covered with snow and ice, and the lake was as cold and hard as hardened steel. Every morning, there is frost on the ground.

From the upstairs window, you can see Hagrid, wrapped in a long moleskin coat, wearing rabbit fur gloves and huge beaver fur boots, defrosting his broomstick on the Quidditch pitch.

From this month onwards, the Quidditch season begins.

Ravenclaw's training is more intense, and everyone wants to get off to a good start.

It wasn't easy, though, as their first match was against Hufflepuff.

It's a tough battle to fight.

William wasn't that worried, and he was the first to enter the Hufflepuff team in the time loop, and he knew every player well.

William knows their tactical play, their usual positioning, and even the weaknesses and characteristics of each individual.

But the other party has not seen him play, and this lack of intelligence will have a great impact.

The only thing that will affect the outcome is Cedric. If he gets the Golden Snitch in the first five minutes, William won't be able to win even if he can score.

Fortunately, Autumn is a Seeker, she is very talented, and she also knows Cedric well, and she will not let him catch the Golden Snitch so easily.

And so in this atmosphere, the first game of the year began.

……

(PS In the official setting, Dumbledore can understand the Parseltongue but can't speak.) This is what JK Rowling said in an interview.,As for which I can't find it.,The big guy will also make it more difficult for the same person.。

Of course, some people will say, why didn't he hear it fifty years ago, it's likely that Dumbledore hasn't learned it for fifty years, and after Voldemort opened the secret room, he began to learn, of course, this paragraph is my personal patch, commonly known as the second set. ）
