Not only Ethan, but Snape suspected that the group of so-called relatives had a problem as well.

For example, Logan, a Gryffindor student, is always alone, rarely plays with other children, and most of the time he is very mature, not like a child.

At first, he thought that Logan was just a little withdrawn, but now that he looks at the real reason, the real reason is that he can't play with real children.

And that Skaha...... Forehead...... Skaha?

Snape sat behind his desk, silent in thought.

Dumbledore saw through that Ethan was not a real child, but he did not ask about Ethan's true identity, and decisively chose not to continue to investigate the issue.

Snape disagreed, believing that leaving such an unidentified and powerful man at Hogwarts was a very serious danger that could cause great damage at any time.

Hogwarts is very important in the wizarding world, and if something happens, it may even cause the British wizarding world to be broken, and it may also cause many wizarding families to lose their heirs.

In this case, there is no one who does not take the safety of Hogwarts seriously, not even the officials of the Ministry of Magic who are always doing stupid things, they also take the safety of Hogwarts seriously - they just do strange things all the time.

Snape had been struggling with the identities of Ethan and the others, and while he was thinking about the anomalies of several 'children', he suddenly thought of this problem that he had been ignoring.

Skaha?

A cold sweat began to appear on Snape's forehead.

It can't be that Skaha, right? It can't be, right?

At this moment, he suddenly understood why Dumbledore didn't dig into Ethan's true identity, and he clearly remembered that Dumbledore specifically asked Ethan's real name, and Ethan said that his real name was Ethan.

In the same way, if the other children use their real names, the name Skaha is terrifying.

Even more terrifying, he remembered Skaha's performance in school, and her greatest achievement was her understanding and mastery of the rune script (also translated into rune), a lesson that was a headache for many adult wizards, and for this little girl, it was as simple as eating and drinking.

Snape ...... Are you hot?"

"Nope. ”

Ethan raised his eyes slightly, turned his gaze from the book to Snape, and immediately realized that the clever Professor Snape must have guessed something.

"Don't think so much, the truth of many things is simple. For example, I just came to Hogwarts to learn something interesting. ”

Snape swallowed, his expression now a little glazed, but no one here cared about that.

"Why do you ...... Would you be interested in this knowledge?"

"Why aren't you interested? After all, I don't know about these things, and they're interesting, aren't they?"

Snape didn't understand the meaning of Ethan's words at first, and then he reacted that modern magical knowledge has evolved over hundreds of years, and it has long been far from ancient magic, and even the core concepts of many magic have undergone earth-shaking changes, even if Ethan is really a special being with amazing powers, but he may not necessarily understand these things in detail.

The conversation came to an abrupt end, and Snape continued to sit for a while before seeing Ethan put down the book in his hand, then closed his eyes as if thinking something, then got up and tucked the book back into its place, then took another one from the side.

"Done?"

"Yes. ”

As is customary, Snape wanted to complain about how much Ethan could remember in this way of reading, but then he realized that the person in front of him was no ordinary student, and from the time Ethan opened the second Potions book and asked several questions in a row, Snape knew that Ethan not only remembered the contents of the book very clearly, but also understood it very deeply, no worse than him, a wizard who had studied magic for decades.

At this time, Snape suddenly realized a problem...... It seems like...... Probably...... Maybe...... Should I ask Ethan some questions that I have been thinking about for a long time but have no answers?

Magicians will always encounter various problems in their quest for mystical knowledge.

Some questions have a universal answer, in which case you only need to ask someone who knows, and the more powerful the wizard, the more 'answers' they have.

There are also some that do not have a universal explanation, and they also involve the different paths that everyone takes, and even if you ask powerful wizards for this question, at most it will help you and not get a very direct and clear answer.

But this is not absolute, like the one in front of you, if it is really the kind of existence you think, there should be a clearer answer, right?

Snape saw that Ethan was still reading a book, and he didn't know whether to ask, and at this time, Ethan suddenly said, as if he had seen through something: "Ask whatever you want." ”

Only then did he know that even if Ethan didn't look at him, all his actions couldn't be hidden from the other party.

"I have a few questions for you. ”

"Hmmm......"

Snape thought for a moment, and instead of asking his own question directly, he exchanged their understandings of a certain spell with Ethan as if he were discussing magic with another wizard.

I don't know if I don't ask, and I'm shocked when I say it.

Snape listened to Ethan's story, and realized that Ethan's understanding of magic spells was completely different from his own.

This difference is not that the two men have gone in completely different directions, but that there is a difference from the perspective from which the spell is viewed from the very beginning.

For example, if a spell is compared to a labyrinth, and being able to walk from exit to exit is considered to be successful in learning and can use the spell smoothly, then in the process of exploring the labyrinth, sketching its specific appearance is the understanding of the spell, Snape has walked back and forth countless times, and feels that he has discovered many places, but there are still many places that he does not understand;

Ethan stood higher up overlooking the labyrinth, Snape knew the area in the eyes of the other party, and Ethan knew what he couldn't see.

So not only can they explain the details that Snape himself has overlooked, but they can also describe and analyze the spell from another angle or even the opposite direction.

Snape was naturally very happy, and immediately began to discuss the next topic, so after discussing for most of the day, Snape not only learned a lot of things, but also solved many doubts accumulated over the years, and his magical strength was greatly improved in this half a day's effort.

This is not a sudden increase in mana or the ability to cast more powerful magic, but an increase in the ability to understand and apply many spells. Now he has more time when he casts spells, and the loss of mana is lower, and even many of the spells that he still can't figure out how to release silently can now be easily released.

The most intuitive embodiment is that now when Snape unleashes his invention of the Blade of Shadowless, not only can he not use a spell or even a wand, but he can do it silently and suddenly—he thought he would not be able to do this until the day he died.

At this point, the power of this offensive black magic has increased by I don't know how many notches, this spell itself is powerful and fast, there is no conspicuous light and shadow such as no light spots when it is released, and now there is no need for spells and wands when it is released, and it is more rapid and too late to react when it is shot.

Anyone who couldn't get along with Snape now, even if they just stood across from him, risked being suddenly killed by the spell.

Snape then asked about Potions, and as a Potions professor, Snape was very fond of Potions, and he also hoped that he could achieve more in this area.

Ethan hadn't had time to learn more about the world's potions, but he had other relevant knowledge, so it wasn't impossible to give Snape some pointers.

It can also allow Snape to personally explain some of the knowledge points of Potions in this world, so that Ethan can absorb the knowledge of this world faster.

Before I knew it, most of the day had passed, and Ethan had read a book for a day and unexpectedly learned detailed and advanced Potions knowledge from Snape, which was not in vain today.

In addition to these gains, there is a more important reason why he is here.

"I am not qualified to borrow books from many areas of the library, so I'm afraid I need your help. ”

"There's nothing wrong with that. ”

After a day of 'discussion' or counseling, Snape didn't mind doing Ethan such a small favor.

"What do you need me to borrow for you?"

"You need all the books that you can borrow but students can't, and you can take a few books a day. ”

Snape didn't know how Ethan had read so many books, but he wasn't prepared to ask—he'd know what was going on when Ethan came in tomorrow to pick it up.

"See you tomorrow, then, Professor Snape. ”

Before Snape could say goodbye to him, Ethan had closed the door and left Snape's office.

At this time, today's class at Hogwarts had ended, and it was the break between the end of the afternoon class and the end of dinner, and there were many students in the hallway, as well as in the courtyard.

The students are doing what they want to do to relax, and Ethan is about to find a place to be quiet for a while, and then go to dinner, when he is caught by Illya.

"You've skipped a day's worth of class!"

Ethan spread his hands, compared to other classes, he could still learn something, the Defence Against the Dark Arts class meant to Ethan only to learn some spells that could be used in battle, but now he could get all the offensive spells from Snape.

So why did he even listen to Lockhart brag? Instead of wasting time with Lockhart, he might as well research with Logan on what magic plants would be suitable for stewing with Basilisk's meat.

Or study the details of that leather suit with Skaha.
