"Sit down, there's a lot of little cheese and mulled wine that I make myself, you can try it. Edward, who had led the three of them to his room, took out the snacks and sat down across from Harry.
"Now, tell me why you doubt Snape?" said Edward, "I have the impression that he is a very nice man to get along with. ā
"Nice to get along with, are you sure you're talking about Snape?" Hermione said in surprise.
"Do you see his face? It's like everybody owes him a lot of money, and I feel horrified just by looking at it. Ron exaggerated Snape's appearance echoed, his hands clutching the cheese into his mouth.
"Friends, look at a person's character, don't just look at it at the surface. Edward smiled and said, "Snape always had a cold face, but his heart was not like that. ā
"How do you explain that my scar ached when I first saw him?" Harry said, pulling his hair and pointing to the scar on his forehead, "This scar only hurts when I encounter Voldemort or when I'm in danger." ā
"I suspect Snape is Voldemort's man, and he unleashed the trolls tonight in an attempt to make a noise, but was bitten by three giant dogs, so his feet limped. ā
"Why did he enter that door?" asked Edward, after a moment's thought.
"When Hagrid and I went to Gringotts, he took out something that he said was Hogwarts' top secret. I guess that was what Snape, or Voldemort, wanted. ā
"Snape is a professor at Hogwarts, he wouldn't do such a thing. Edward said seriously.
"Oh my God, your answer is exactly the same as Hagrid's. Hermione sighed.
"Listen, Harry. Edward looked at Harry with a serious expression, "That Voldemort has put so much pressure on you that he has even confused your nature and made you feel like you're in a fog. ā
"You have to remember, Harry, no matter how strong Voldemort is, at Hogwarts, and with me and Dumbledore, I will also go home with you after the holidays, you don't have to worry about that Voldemort at all, I will protect you, as the guardian of Hogwarts. ā
"Your mission at Hogwarts is to learn magic well and become a powerful wizard as quickly as possible, and you shouldn't worry about anything else. ā
"Okay. Seeing Edward's serious expression, Harry knew that he had failed to convince him. However, as soon as he thought of Edward's words, Harry felt an inexplicable sense of security in his heart, as if with Edward's presence, Voldemort was not a threat at all.
"Alright, now you can go back and rest. "Since you doubt Snape, I'll keep an eye on him as much as I can." Ron, don't eat, it's almost time to turn off the lights, you can take all these snacks with you, and this bottle of mulled wine. ā

For the next few days, Hogwarts was in a festive mood as the House Cup Quidditch match was about to begin. On the playground in the courtyard, a huge Quidditch playing field was erected almost overnight.
Edward also met with two officials from the Ministry of Magic, and he disliked this kind of official, especially the Minister of Magic, Tomichie. But for Dumbledore's sake, Edward also forced himself to chat with the other party for a while.
At the opening match of the House Cup, Edward, dressed in a referee's uniform and wearing match gear on his limbs, made his first appearance as an on-site ambulance, and he and Mrs. Hooch came to a standstill next to the box containing the match balls, which drew a round of applause.
"Welcome to the first match of the Hogwarts Cup Quidditch season between Slytherin and Gryffindor!
"Oh, let's take a look at the new faces of this tournament, the first time a first-year member of the Gryffindor team, Harry Potter!"
"There's also the first live ambulance in the history of Quidditch, Edward Lee. ā
When Jordan introduced Harry, the Gryffindor audience applauded, while the Slytherin booed.
But when Jordan introduced Edward, all the audience responded with warm applause, which shows Edward's status in their hearts for most of the semester.
"I hope it's a fair game. Mrs. Hutch kicked open the box, and the small golden jar flew out of it and disappeared into the sky. This was followed by two Borgs who specialized in striking the team. In the end, Mrs. Hooch threw the biggest fast floater in the air, and the game began.
When Edward saw the real game of Quidditch, he understood why it was the most important sport in the wizarding world.
This kind of sports of hitting, dodging, and hitting each other in the wind is indeed very intense, very easy to get into a state of excitement, and of course very exciting. Edward had watched basketball and soccer games on television, and compared to Quidditch, the first two were almost like playing each other.
Edward was originally unbiased against both houses, but three of his best friends were in Gryffindor House, so he naturally wanted the Gryffindor pair to win.
However, he did not forget his duty and always stood in the center of the field, watching the fierce competition in the air in all directions.
At the beginning, the players on both sides were still very restrained, and neither of them showed anything out of line. But when Gryffindor took the lead, the Slytherins moved bigger.
Soon, Edward had his first chance - Gryffindor's captain Wood was concentrated on his chest by the opposing captain's Borg, and his body crossed the Circle Gate he was responsible for, and fell to the ground.
Edward was standing in the middle of the field, quite far from the Circle Gate, and would normally not be able to go there in time to catch Wood.
But just when everyone thought Edward was going to give up on the rescue, a black shadow suddenly shot out towards the spot where Wood fell, and caught Wood firmly before he hit the ground.
The audience was stunned for a moment, and then burst into a round of applause.
The name of Edward's Guardian has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people at Hogwarts, and the sight of him running at this time has made many people dazzled.
"Off-the-field ambulance, Wood was shot in the chest, broke a rib and couldn't play again. Edward gently placed Wood, who was speechless in pain, on the ground and said loudly.
Soon after, an ambulance crew from outside the field entered to carry Wood away, and Edward returned to the center of the field.
