Chapter Forty-Eight: Meritorious Service (I)
Luo Cheng's progress at Hogwarts is going very well.
There was no pressure at all on this errand of the centaur liaison office: the centaurs usually stayed in the Forbidden Forest and did not come out, and even if they did, they would send someone to contact Dumbledore through Hagrid.
The horses are very arrogant and disdain to deal with wizards, as long as they don't trespass into the Forbidden Forest, then everything is fine. Therefore, Luo Cheng's errand is indeed an idle job.
As for the newly opened ideological and moral education courses, it is even more relaxed, and in the face of those senior students above the fifth grade, Paine is not willing to embarrass them, but gives them the focus of the exam.
For Luo Cheng's work attitude, other teachers were relieved while disdainful. They understood that the introduction of ideological and moral education classes was the Ministry of Magic's intervention in Hogwarts, and that Luo Cheng's passive sabotage was not bad news for Hogwarts at least.
But what the Hogwarts teachers and students don't know is that Luo Chengke is a very self-motivated employee, and he has to make achievements to earn points for promotion.
Luo Cheng soon found this opportunity, and he stumbled upon Snape leaving the castle in a hurry, walking in the direction of the Forbidden Forest. Snape looks sneaky, leaving Hogwarts Castle while others are eating.
Luo Cheng cast a spell on himself and quietly followed Snape, who walked for a long time before he stopped in a shadowy clearing.
There was already a man waiting here, and the man had a large purple scarf wrapped around his head, which looked very strange.
"It's Quirrell, is it Snape who came to threaten him?"
Luo Cheng said in his heart, he knew that Quirrell had a Voldemort on the back of his head, so he was more careful.
“…… I don't know why you want to ~ I want to choose to meet here, Severus ......"
"Oh, I don't think it's appropriate to make it public," Snape said, his voice cold, "after all, students aren't supposed to know about the Philosopher's Stone. ”
Quirrell was muttering something.
Snape interrupted him. "Have you figured out how to subdue Hagrid's monster?"
"But—but, Severus, I-"
"You don't want me to be your enemy, Quirrell."
Snape said, taking a step closer to him.
"I—I don't know—I know you—"
"You know exactly what I mean."
"But—but, I don't—"
"That's enough." Snape interrupted him, "Quirrell, I'm not a fool, don't prevaricate me with stupid things. Why did you make a move on Potter so early? He's just taken his first flying lesson, and you're going to kill him? Dumbledore already suspects you! ”
"I-no."
"Enough!"
Snape snapped, "You idiot, you're going to mess everything up like this!" It won't be long before you've had time to think through and decide who you're loyal to, we'll talk again. ”
He covered his head with his cloak and strode out of the clearing. It was almost completely dark. But Luo Cheng could still see Quirrell standing there motionless, like a clay wood sculpture.
It was only after a few moments that Quirrell undid the purple scarf from his head, revealing the face on the back of his head, which was dead white as chalk, his red eyes glowing, and below it were two long, snake-like nostrils.
"Master, did Dumbledore really find out?"
"You idiot! I warned you, don't just do it to Potter! ”
