Chapter 31 Back to the Black Cauldron

The three little ones walked out of Professor Capet's office dejectedly.

"Hagrid and Professor Capet must know everything," said Harry, firmly, "but why wouldn't they tell us?" Or do they simply not believe us? I thought Professor Capet was a friend of mine and would definitely believe me. ”

"Harry, it's okay, we still have a way." Ron said comforting Harry.

Harry frantically ruffled his hair: "What else can be done! Hagrid and Capet don't tell us anything. ”

"Let's go find Fred," Hermione said suddenly, "and let them help gather information about Nicol Lemay, in Professor Capet's office." ”

"You mean to let them peek at Professor Cape's letters?" Harry was excited, he thought it was a good idea.

"Well, not peeking," Hermione corrected, "I mean, if they stumble upon Nicol Lemay's information, they can tell us." There are many famous wizards who have their own monograms, or seals, and if we knew this information, we might be able to find Nicol Lemay. Not a peek. ”

"How I still sound like a peeking." Ron muttered. Angry, Hermione picked up the book and slapped it on his head: "I said it wasn't a peek, it was seen inadvertently." ”

Ron walked around to Harry and said, "Okay, but let me warn you, Fred and George aren't going to help us for free. ”

……

In the Gryffindor common room, George and Fred looked at each other suspiciously, "So, you want us to be spies?" ”

"Not a spy," Hermione corrected solemnly, "just ask you to keep an eye on the information about Nicol Lemay." ”

"Isn't that a spy?"

Hermione wanted to open her mouth to refute again, but Harry spoke first: "George, Fred, can you please help me?" ”

"So, is it the savior who needs our help?" George grinned and put his arm around Harry's neck.

"It's an honor for both of us to be able to help the boy who won't die." Fred performed exaggeratedly.

"So you agreed to help?" Ron looked at the twins with distrust, he didn't believe the two would help out so happily.

Sure enough, the two of them set up Ron, and George said, "Of course not, little Ronnie, do you know the first law of alchemy?" ”

"It's an equivalent exchange."

Ron was terrified, he saw a wicked smile on the twins' faces, he was all too familiar with it, whenever this smile appeared, it was a sign that the twins were planning to play a prank.

The two of them put Ron on the couch: "That's the little Ronnie, haven't we helped the Gryffindor House students improve their Potions class scores significantly recently?" Much to Professor Snape's annoyance, he was now tracking down who had made the manuals. You've got to help us get in the way. ”

"Help?" Ron retorted loudly, "Did you guys help me?" It was clearly Harry's mother's notes that helped a lot! ”

Ever since Harry got his mother's Potions notes, Hermione had volunteered to start sorting through the first-year sections. Soon George and Fred found out, borrowed notes from Harry, and worked with Cedric of Hufflepuff to compile the sections for the second to sixth years, which were compiled into a booklet and began to be distributed in both houses.

As a result, most of the students in both houses had a Potions notebook from the Gryffindor Mysteries, making them make fewer and fewer mistakes in Potions class. Professor Snape had little chance of deducting points.

Harry was particularly surprised by Snape's actions. He found that every time Professor Snape stood next to him and watched him operate the potions he had made according to his mother's instructions, he didn't speak, he didn't deduct points, he just stood and watched. But his bloodshot eyes and clenched fists let Harry know that he was definitely not appreciating himself.

"Ron, Professor Snape has said many times that he's going to catch this bastard who tampered with the textbooks and burn all these illegal manuals." George patted his brother on the shoulder,

"Come to think of it, you're not just helping us, you're helping your best friend Harry, can you bear to see Harry's mother's notes taken away by Snape?"

Ron bravely carried the black cauldron.

The next day in Potions class, Snape once again found out that someone had committed an irregularity, and he finally couldn't help it, and his eyes looked in the direction of Harry and Ron: "Who the hell is tampering with the textbooks and distributing this illegal operation everywhere." ”

Ron immediately raised his hand, and without waiting for Snape to call his name, he took the initiative to stand up and shouted, "Professor, I wrote these things." ”

Seamus Finigan, who was sitting in the front, couldn't help but laugh, and Snape quickly glanced at him.

"That's a big joke, Weasley, tell me where you learned all these violations." Snape sneered.

Ron's dead pig is not afraid of boiling water: "I picked it up under a willow tree on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. ”

This time the Slytherin students couldn't help it, and Draco clutched his stomach and got under the table: "Weasley, you should go write a novel, and soon your sales will surpass Gilderoy Lockhart." ”

"Quiet~quiet," Snape maintained classroom discipline in his characteristic aria-like tone, "Weasley, Gryffindor deducted 5 points for your stupid lies." ”

Snape then looked at Harry: "Potter, deduct 10 points." ”

Harry argued, "Professor! Why? ”

Snape stared at Harry with his black eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "Harry Potter, you knew that Weasley was cheating on the professor but didn't stop it, so you deducted 10 points." ”

Harry gasped, he didn't understand why Snape was targeting him so much, and he rushed up immediately, took out his mother's note and slapped it on his hooked nose, telling him, "My mother is the mysterious senior sister, and her potions level is much higher than yours. ”

Fortunately, Ron squeezed his hand in time, and Harry didn't do anything impulsive.

……

In the evening, George and Fred had just returned to the Gryffindor common room from Professor Capet's class, when the three gathered around.

George and Fred spread their hands: "We didn't find any useful information, in fact, Professor Capet seemed to be guarding the two of us today." ”

Harry slumped on the couch as the three of them wilted, and Harry said puzzled, "Why don't they let us know anything?" So did Hagrid, and so did Professor Capet. ”

"Calm down, Harry," Ron wasn't too discouraged, "maybe the grown-ups did a lot of things when we didn't know it.
