Chapter 292: Hogwarts History of Magic Professor (43)
In the end, Phyllis did not make a move, and the broomstick ridden by Harry Potter became more and more disobedient in the confrontation between the two wizards, Snape and Quirrell, and in the end, the boy fell from the sky, and amazingly, he caught the Quaffle as he fell, ending the Quidditch and winning the match.
Everything was so happy.
Phyllis sat on the seat in the stands, looking at Harry surrounded by friends and teammates, at Professor McGonagall, whose face was no longer serious and full of joy, and at Quirrell and Snape, who were staring at each other, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Teach...... The professor ...... "Lia, who was sitting next to her, accidentally saw Phyllis's smile, and from that weird smile, she seemed to see a deep but terrifying malice, and couldn't help but shudder and stammer.
Phyllis turned her head and smiled at Leah, "Okay, your friend is fine, let's go back." β
Leah was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, Professor." β
The reason why Leah came forward and invited Professor Kate over was only because of her friend Hermione, as far as she was concerned, she and Harry didn't have much in common, and the two sides didn't even say a few words. Since Harry was fine, there was no need for her to wait here.
Phyllis and Leah did not immediately return to Hogwarts Castle, but took a walk along the edge of the Black Lagoon.
Looking at the reflection of the ancient castle on the calm surface of the Black Lagoon, Phyllis asked a little abruptly, "What do you think just happened?" β
Leah didn't expect Professor Kate to ask this, thought about it, and said, "Someone is trying to harm Harry?" β
"Who do you think it is?" Phyllis had asked this question before, but she had asked it again now.
Snape ...... Professor. Leah replied immediately.
"Why?" Phyllis then asked.
"Because ......," Lia was about to say, but stopped again. She made this judgment in large part because of the "evidence" Hermione told her. From the bottom of her heart, Leah believed Hermione, and judging from the evidence, Snape had the biggest suspicion. But as soon as she spoke, she realized that Professor Kate would never like to hear her say thatβall the reasons, the so-called evidence, were heard from other people's mouths.
Phyllis glanced at Leah and knew she hadn't seen the situation clearly. But it's nothing, it's just an eleven-year-old, this kind of behavior is normal.
Phyllis herself doesn't matter, but Carl won't be happy when he finds out. He had high hopes for the daughter of the Price family, and now it seemed that Leah did not have that kind of aura.
β¦β¦
Back on the fourth floor of Hogwarts Castle, in her bedroom, Phyllis took off her thick cloak and changed into cotton loungewear.
"I really didn't expect Tom to be so arrogant." Phyllis looked at the dressing mirror on the inside of the wardrobe door and said to Chen in the mirror.
Chen in the mirror smiled and said, "It's normal, anyone who has made great achievements must have absolute confidence in himself, and this confidence can easily be interpreted as arrogance. β
"Not all insistence is correct."
"Yes, you're right." Chen said, "Those who fail to persist are fools and madmen, and only the persistence of success is the person who can make great achievements." β
Chen leaned forward slightly and said to Phyllis, "However, before this happened, no one knew which insistence was right. β
With a thud, Phyllis closed the closet door.
PS: This episode is very stuck. The main reason is that the first few books in the "Harry Potter" series are actually relatively standard children's literature, and some of the plot settings are relatively simple. For example, I thought about it for days, but I never figured out what Quirrell wanted to do in Quidditch. Was he trying to kill Harry? Then why not cast a spell directly on himself, but against the broomstick. Even if the broom shattered, Harry could only fall from a height, so many professors were in the stands, couldn't they catch Harry?
Also, in the process of casting the spell, he sensed that there was another force that was comparable to him, and Quirrell was not worried about being exposed? Of course, Quirrell himself may not have thought about it that much, but what about Voldemort possessed him? It doesn't feel like it's too risky.
Speaking of the possession of the Undulating Earth Demon is another problem. From the fact that he could find out that the Philosopher's Stone was hidden in Hogwarts, it was clear that although he had lost power, there were still a few Death Eaters who he trusted to follow, so why did he take such a big risk to infiltrate Hogwarts. There are so many powerful wizards at Hogwarts, is he really not afraid of being found out and dying again?
However, in the later parts, this series of books is no longer "childlike", it has become more adult-oriented, and the overall atmosphere is no longer so cheerful, and it has begun to have cold colors.
