310. Accident in Potions class
As Scott and Rimbaud had said, he didn't know if Barty Jr., who had fled from his home under his covert push, would be able to find Voldemort in hiding, but he quickly got feedback.
This feedback did not come from Harry as he had thought, but from Snape, whom he had previously ignored.
The Dark Mark of the Dark Devil, the brand that Voldemort personally branded the Death Eaters, is a more intuitive reflection of Voldemort's state than Harry, one of the Horcruxes.
More than ten days after confirming that Barty Jr. had escaped, Scott sensed an anomaly on Snape's left arm during a potions class.
In his perception of mana, there was a sudden fluctuation of mana on the left arm of the Potions professor that did not belong to him.
The sudden activation of the magic gave people a very cold and evil feeling.
At the time, Snape, who was patrolling the classroom making potions, seemed normal on the surface, and only Scott noticed a pause in his steps.
Out of curiosity, Scott mobilized almost all his senses, and carefully sensed the trace of magic.
Probably because his perception was too keen, at this moment, there were even some hallucinations of corpses and a sea of blood in front of his eyes, and his nose seemed to really smell a strong smell of blood.
The smell made him almost sick.
When he really opened his mouth uncontrollably to retch, he quickly withdrew his perception.
Unfortunately, Snape suddenly turned his head and saw the unusual expression on his face.
Suddenly, Scott inadvertently met the dark and empty eyes of the Potions Professor for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he secretly screamed that it was not good, and quickly lowered his head and began to process the potions materials on the table.
Sure enough, the next moment, Snape slipped from the other end of the aisle to his desk, bent down to stare at the movement of his hands.
Scott's face did not change color, grinding the herbs with a pounding bowl and hammer.
At this time, he noticed that his partner Milton was breathing a little shorter, and his hands were shaking.
Scott hurriedly took the knife and medicinal herbs from Milton's hand, and handed him the bowl and hammer.
Snape snorted coldly, "That's good, Mr. Graves, is Mr. Trolop your babysitter in Potions class?" ”
Milton was now putting the material on the brass balance to weigh it, and when he heard this, his hand shook and the material was scattered on the table.
Seeing this, Snape finally straightened up.
"I can't believe you're in fifth grade, Mr. Grevis." He said in a sarcastic tone, "Ravenclaw deducts 2 points for your clumsiness." ”
With that, he turned and left.
Milton had a look of wanting to cry without tears.
Scott shook his head and sighed to himself, Snape's trick was really tried.
Next, Scott and Milton were left to work on one piece of material again, which slowed down their progress.
It wasn't until a while after class that they finally handed over the potions they had made.
Snape casually glanced at the two potions in his hand and said to Milton, "I'm looking forward to the day I'll see you independent, Grevis." ”
Milton lowered his head, and he didn't dare to breathe.
"You go first." Snape added, "I need to speak to Mr. Trollope alone. ”
Milton looked up and gave Scott a worried look.
Scott smiled at him and waved his hand, "You go first." ”
When Milton was gone, Snape put down the potions vial in his hand and then stared at Scott with his dark and empty eyes.
Scott had been silently running Occlumency for a long time, so he didn't hide from his eyes.
"Occlumency, I remember Hogwarts teaching that." Snape lengthened his tone, "Gifted Mr. Trollope." ”
Scott smiled, "I don't remember a professor using a dementor to read something in a student's brain, Professor." ”
"Don't laugh!"
Snape was still staring at Scott.
His expression was a little ugly, especially the few creases between his eyebrows, which were deep and stiff.
"You're snooping on your professor with your so-called magical sense, and I must say, it's extremely rude, Mr. Trollope."
Snape's muffled voice, which, combined with his distinctive accent, caused him to hiss like a snake at the same time as he spoke.
"I'm sorry, Professor." Scott is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and does not quibble, but honestly admits his mistakes.
If he had said something to Snape at this time that he had not meant to do so, it is expected that Snape would have thought that he was lying, and would have been even more angry.
Actually, he really didn't mean to, he was just used to using his magic perception to probe his surroundings from time to time.
This kind of behavior is generally unnoticed by others.
But unfortunately, because he didn't hold back his expression today, he was coincidentally discovered by Snape.
Of course, he didn't keep a close eye on Snape's arm, it should have been that momentary look that made Snape aware of something.
After all, he didn't have time to run Occlumency.
But it's not too bad at this point.
At that time, the evil magic shocked Scott's keen perception, so that all he thought about at that moment was the disgusting level of that magic power, so he didn't reveal other thoughts.
At least he didn't think about the "Dark Mark of the Dark" at the time, something he shouldn't have known.
Snape was visibly upset at this point, and asked Scott, "Tell me, what do you perceive?" ”
Scott replied honestly, "A trace of evil magic suddenly comes alive, on your left hand, Professor. ”
Snape's face became even more difficult to look at when he heard this.
His right hand was already gripping his left arm.
"Damn it."
He couldn't help but curse in a low voice and paced in place for a few steps.
Maybe he was still angry after thinking about it, so he sarcastically said a few more words at Scott.
"I don't have any sense of doing things, I always can't wait to show off my talent, why didn't that broken hat assign you to Gryffindor in the first place!"
Scott, with his head down, pouted.
He felt wronged - what did his personality have to do with Gryffindor?
Of course, he didn't open his mouth to refute it, because he knew very well that opening his mouth now would add fuel to the fire.
"If I could, I'd love to give you an Oblivion Charm to empty your inquisitive head!"
Snape said in annoyance, turning and striding out of the classroom.
"Follow me, Mr. Trollope!"
Scott answered, obediently following him.
The two shuttled through the castle one after the other, attracting countless curious glances.
Scott even saw a lot of people giving him a thumbs up from afar.
Probably because Snape's face was so ugly, these people thought that he had the audacity to provoke Snape's head.
