23. Principal exchange

Since that midnight duel, Harry seemed to have been deeply hit by the loss of the duel, and he was listless and decadent for several days, and every time he went to class, several professors were very surprised, why Harry, who was usually very cheerful, turned into a sad expression.

However, this has the advantage of allowing Harry to be less scolded when taking Snape's Potions class, and it may be that Harry in this state also makes Snape's provocation and strictness boring, but during the class, Harry is like a robot who listens carefully, doing exactly what their professor says.

Even once, after Harry's Potions class, when he was numbly packing up his textbooks and about to leave, Snape interjected in the back, "If the next time I see you looking listless in my class, then don't come in, it just so happens that what I taught in this lesson is how to configure refreshing potions, go back and configure more, maybe it will work for your state." ”

Snape's sudden words to Harry made Harry slightly moved, and he glanced at Snape seriously, feeling that the strictest professor in front of him must be hiding a deep secret from his parents.

It wasn't until one time Hermione stumbled upon a Hogwarts roster in the library that she stumbled upon that Severus Snape was actually in the same school year as Harry's parents, James Potter and Lily Potter.

After Hermione told Harry about this, Harry's spirits were immediately lifted, and Ron originally planned to pull him to study what was in the room guarded by the three-headed dog, because they saw a trapdoor hidden under the huge claws of the three-headed dog, although this discovery was seen by Assinsha and Hermione, when Ron and Neville patronized the devastated Harry and fled for his life.

But Harry wasn't interested in what was under the trapdoor, which made Ron a little curious about his brother's transformation, and what his brother saw in that duel.

"Maybe that's just an ordinary curse...... It's about seeing things that scare you, like you're afraid of seeing your mother die, and you hate and fear Snape, so you see Snape in the sight. ”

Hermione's explanation made sense to them, but Harry was still unconvinced, and he asked Asinsha what the spell Draco had learned from Sherlock did, and although Harry felt it, he wanted to know more.

"I'll help you ask, Harry......" Asinsha agreed.

Harry...... Professor Dumbledore wants to see you. After another lesson on Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration, Professor McGonagall left Harry in the class, and when he said that Dumbledore wanted to see Harry, Harry was immediately surprised.

"You've been in terrible form lately, and I think Professor Dumbledore is worried about you." Professor McGonagall led Harry to the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts.

Albus Dumbledore's office entrance requires the correct password to speak to an ugly gargoyle.

"Zizi Honey Candy!" With Professor McGonagall's finish, the gargoyle spun out of a staircase entrance, and she told Harry to go up on his own, and Harry saw Professor McGonagall turn and leave.

Harry saw Dumbledore sitting behind the desk, chattering with a huge red bird next to him, and Harry couldn't tell it was actually a phoenix with his current eyesight.

"I was talking to Fawkes about you, Harry, and I was wondering when you were going to be here, after all, you've probably been having a lot of trouble lately." Dumbledore's tone was very gentle, and Harry walked over slowly, looking directly at Dumbledore, the white-haired and white-bearded old man in front of him.

"It's like that!"

"What?"

"You really look like your father, but in my eyes, James was a complete troublemaker in his school days, and although he was very smart, even George and Fred were a little worse than him in terms of wit and fun."

"My father was a troublemaker when he was at school?"

"You're better than Jaime, at least James won't promise a midnight duel?"

Harry was stunned, he didn't expect Dumbledore to know about it.

"So...... I mean, why didn't you expel me, if you know? ”

"Why the expulsion? Who hasn't done a few pretty crazy things in school, as long as the whole school doesn't know about it, then even if I turn a blind eye at most, as if it never happened. ”

Dumbledore leaned forward, "But Harry, I don't think you're a boy who would be depressed to such an extent because you lost a duel, you've always been cheerful in my eyes." ”

"Yes...... Be...... Draco's spell...... I saw it after I was hit by that spell...... Scary picture? Harry told Dumbledore what had happened and what he had seen in his head.

Dumbledore frowned when he heard that Harry had also seen Snape among them.

"Do you know Leonardo da Vinci among Muggles?"

"Yes! He's a great artist! ”

"Not only that, but he was also a very shrewd wizard, he said...... When he was very young, his mother left young Leonardo da Vinci in a basket covered with white cloth and abandoned him on the lawn, and the crows in the sky swirled and landed on the basket, their claws clutching the edges, all of which were hidden in the memory of Leonardo da Vinci when he was very young in the first few months of his life. ”

Dumbledore went on to say, "So a child's potential is enormous, and their memory is able to remember scenes that are so significant that it's hard to ignore. ”

"So the picture I saw wasn't because of the spell, but the real picture in my memory, and Snape really showed up that night!" Harry's face turned pale.

On the bookshelf beside it, the dirty Sorting Hat suddenly sounded, "There are some truths you have to explore Harry, Sherlock is the most gifted wizard I have ever met, and no one knows what the effect of the truth is unless he has experienced it or created it." ”

"Remember when I said that Slytherin would help you get to the top?"

Harry asked, "Is it because Mr. Sherlock is also in Slytherin?" ”

The Sorting Hat smiled, "Almost!" ”

Harry sighed, so to find out if what he was seeing was real, he had to ask Sherlock himself, and Harry suddenly thought of the handsome young man, and finally ...... It's finally time for the first contact.

"Harry, people have troubles, but sometimes it is easy to say it, and I also have my own troubles, such as this paper, which I spent a whole year unable to answer."

At this time, Dumbledore took out another answer sheet, which was the one from the Sherlock Club.
