Chapter 30 Who is Nicol Lemay
"Snape did it," Ron explained, "Hermione and I saw it. He's chanting a spell on your broomstick, muttering and his eyes fixed on you. ”
"Nonsense," said Hagrid, who knew nothing about what was happening around him in the stands, "why would Snape do such a thing?"
Harry, Ron, and Hermione exchanged glances, not knowing what to tell him. Harry decided to tell the truth.
"I found out something about him," he said to Hagrid. "On Halloween, he wanted to pass the big dog with three heads. It bit him. We think he's trying to steal something guarded by the big dog. ”
Hagrid put down the teapot heavily. "Alright, don't ask any more," he said crudely, "that's Secret One, you know?"
"But Snape wanted to steal it."
"Nonsense," Hagrid added, "Snape is a teacher at Hogwarts, and he would never do anything like that." ”
"Then why did he want to kill Harry?" Hermione asked aloud.
The events of this afternoon seemed to have changed her opinion of Snape a lot.
"I'm telling you, you're wrong!" Hagrid said irritably, "I don't know why Harry's broomstick behaves the way it does, but there's no way Snape would want to kill a student!"
Now, all three of you listen to me - you're meddling in things that have nothing to do with you. It's dangerous. Forget the big dog, forget what it's guarding for, it's between Professor Dumbledore and Nicol Lemay—"
"Hah!" Harry said, "There's a guy named Nicol Lemay involved, doesn't it?"
Hagrid was furious, he was angry with himself, how could he tell the truth.
Hagrid hadn't seen Harry much since they parted that day. On this day, Hagrid went to the castle to look for Dumbledore, and when he returned, he happened to see Harry and the three of them eating in the Great Hall.
"Harry, why don't you go to my place for tea these two weeks?" Hagrid greeted the three.
"We've been a bit busy these days, Hagrid," Hermione said, "Harry, Ron, remember to go to the library after dinner." ”
"Oh, yes, you're right." Ron said, reluctantly looking away from Professor Flitwick. The Professor was using his wand to spew strings of golden bubbles and hang them on the branches of the newly moved tree.
"Library?'' Hagrid sat down next to Harry and said, "It's still early before the exam, so it's too hard, huh?"
"Oh, we're not reviewing our homework." Harry happily said to him, "Ever since you mentioned Nicol Lemay, we've been trying to figure out who he is. ”
"What?" Hagrid looked horrified. "Listen to me—I told you—stop it. The big dog guarding something has nothing to do with you. ”
"We just want to know who Nicol Lemay is, nothing else." Hermione said.
"Are you willing to tell us lest we have to bother?" Harry added, "We've looked through at least a hundred books, and we haven't found even a shadow of him—just draw us a hint—I know where I've seen his name." ”
"I'm not going to say anything." Hagrid said dryly.
"Then we'll have to find it ourselves." Ron said. This made Hagrid very angry, and he left the castle with a furious face.
"Hey, Harry, I just heard you guys looking for Nicol Lemay?" George and Fred sat next to the trio who were quickly eliminating lunch.
Hermione secretly rolled her eyes when she saw the two of them - she hadn't returned the bottle of milk to Professor Capet, and that the punch to Professor Quirrell during the match that day had earned her the nickname of Berserker, and that the Slytherin students were mocking her for going to a Muggle school to be a boxer.
Harry nodded and asked, "Do you know Nicol Lemay?" ”
"How so?"
"Actually, we don't know each other."
"But we know who knows."
"Who?" Harry asked excitedly.
"Professor Capet," said Fred, "I once stumbled upon a letter from Professor Capet, addressed to Nicol Lemay. ”
"Do you know who he is?" Ron hurriedly swallowed the chicken leg in his mouth and asked Fred vaguely.
"I don't know, I didn't ask. Maybe it's Professor Cape's pen pal, and as a well-known wizard, it's not surprising that there are many. ”
"Impossible," Hermione said categorically, "I didn't find Lemay in Studies in the Development of Modern Witchcraft." ”
George spread his hands: "We don't know about this, we just heard that you are looking for Nicol Lemay, tell you what I know, and then you have to find it yourself." ”
Harry and the others glanced at each other, and it seemed that it was necessary to go to Professor Capet.
The three of them quickly wiped out lunch and arrived at the door of Professor Cape's office, which, unlike usual, did not have a "Please come in" note on the door, but a "Please knock" on the door.
Harry knocked on the door and heard a clanging sound from inside the room, and then the office door opened, and Calvin sat behind his desk and hurriedly sorted his clothes while Amor helped him with his haircut.
"Come in, little wizards, please be seated." Calvin was as elegant as ever, but he didn't even have socks on, and Amor had to get under the table to help him put them on.
Calvin tries to get Amor to make them a cup of coffee, but considering that the poor kitten has just put on his socks, he waves his wand and floats in front of the three of them in exchange for three cups of lemonade.
"What's the matter? The children. Calvin had just finished his intense experiments, and it was time to relax.
"Professor Capet, we ......"
"Professor Capet, we've heard you know Nicol Lemay, and we'd like to find out who he is." Harry was still hesitant to ask, but Hermione asked directly.
"Nicol Lemay," Calvin rubbed his eyebrows, the three of them were really uneasy, "Hermione, who mentioned that name to you?" ”
"It's the ...... of the sea"
"It's Professor Binns, and he gave us the homework." This time it was Ron's turn to interrupt Hermione's speech, and with Hermione's temperament, he must have told the truth.
It's Gryffindor, Calvin sighed to himself, looking at their recklessness and stupidity, he really thought that this level of lying could fool me. Let me see who they suspect, oh, Senior Snape. Tsk, I hope Senior Snape doesn't use the Regent on them.
"Potter," Calvin put his coffee on the table, "I personally advise you not to track down what's in the room behind the hallway on the right side of the fourth floor, it's dangerous. And I don't want you to doubt Professor Snape, I can assure you, he's a good guy. ”
Hermione opened her mouth to retort, but soon Calvin looked at Hermione, "Miss Granger, please give me that bottle of milk, I heard that you punched Professor Quirrell away during a Quidditch match, and that's no fun." ”
