Chapter 229: Kyle's Career
Hermione had guessed correctly, and by the time she and Ron arrived at the hospital hospital, it was already full of students who had come to visit Harry.
There are his friends, there are people from the team, and there are people who have nothing to do.
Of course, there are also people who come to fall into the well...... For example, a first-year Slytherin student who did not want to be named.
They barricaded the doorway, looking for all sorts of excuses to get Madam Pomfrey to let them in.
"Just let me in, Madam Pomfrey, please...... Tomorrow is a Quidditch match and I have to see Harry, it's important. ”
Oliver Wood rushed to the front.
If there's anyone who wants to see Harry the most, he's definitely in the top three.
Although they are more than 500 points behind first-placed Hufflepuff, there is still hope until the end of the final game.
What if a miracle happens......
But without Harry, the most important Seeker, they would have no hope at all, and maybe they would have finished at the bottom, setting the lowest scoring record for Gryffindor in a decade.
If that were the case, Professor McGonagall would have hung him on the tower...... Wood felt cold just thinking about it.
So no matter how much Madam Pomfrey refused, he clung to the door frame and said nothing and wouldn't let go.
Not far away, Dumbledore, who had just come out of the school hospital, saw this scene and smiled with relief:
"It seems that Harry's popularity is still very good, and so many people care about him."
Next to him was another person.
Snape surprisingly didn't say anything, he just gave Dumbledore a complicated look.
"Is this your plan, leave Potter alone to face the mysterious man, he may die......"
"Trust me, Severus......"
Dumbledore said in a deep voice, "Harry will have to face Voldemort sooner or later, this is inevitable, he must learn to overcome his fears. ”
"Heh, let a child be the savior......" Snape snorted disdainfully, not knowing if it was Harry or Dumbledore.
"Like his father, he was mediocre, arrogant, disobedient, showy, attention-grabbing, and impudent...... Seriously, I don't see any chance of him defeating the Dark Lord at all. ”
"What you see is what you expected to see, Severus."
Dumbledore walked into the castle and said without looking back, "The other professors said that the boy was modest, easy-going, and gifted, and I personally found him to be a likable child. ”
"Talented?"
Snape looked a little strange, as if he had heard the Ministry of Magic handing out elixirs for free...... Absurd.
If Dumbledore's words had been applied to Kyle, his reaction would not have been so great.
As much as he didn't like Kyle, Snape had to admit that the little bastard was really smart.
After all, even he couldn't make the perfect water of life and death in the second grade.
As for that Harry Potter...... He could get even the simplest boil potion wrong.
Is this still a good talent?
But thinking of Kyle, Snape suddenly asked in a deep voice, "So, you really don't know what happened in the underground classroom at that time?" ”
"Of course, Severus, I have no reason to lie to you."
Dumbledore shook his head, "Hogwarts Castle is huge, even I can't see it all. ”
"Where's the mirror......
"He hadn't looked at the Mirror of Eris, not once." Dumbledore's gaze became a little deeper: "At this point, he is more sober than all of us. ”
Snape fell silent again, and after a long time continued, "Aren't you worried that Quirrell will take the Philosopher's Stone?" I thought you'd keep an eye on him. ”
"Ever since I brought the Philosopher's Stone back, I've been worrying about this happening every day, and I've never relaxed for a moment."
Dumbledore looked up and said, "But there are always exceptions, Severus. ”
As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the forbidden area.
Lu Wei had been sent away, the entrance room seemed empty, and the two of them passed through the trapdoor to the room below.
Neither Dumbledore nor Snape used broomsticks, nor was it necessary.
This height is as easy for them as going down the stairs.
Upon landing, Snape's expression changed, and he bent down to pick up a leaf from the ground.
"Brussels sprouts...... If I remember correctly, Pomona is supposed to be the Devil's Internet café here. ”
"Maybe some people think that the devil's network is too simple, and it helps to increase the difficulty a little." Dumbledore laughed.
"I don't think this person must be Quirrell."
Snape rubbed the leaf in his hand thoughtfully:
"Planting such dangerous plants and leaving them in schools casually...... If Quirrell hadn't come down early, the Potters probably wouldn't have needed to go to the school hospital again......
With such a disregard for life, you don't worry about him becoming the next Dark Lord? ”
Snape didn't say who this "he" was, but Dumbledore guessed.
"You're wrong, in fact, Harry came down on a broomstick, and they wouldn't have been affected even if they hadn't had Quirrell."
Dumbledore shook his head and said calmly, "And Kyle won't, and can't be, the next Dark Lord."
He has a warm family and close friends who don't talk about anything. He was passionate about learning magic, but he was never obsessed with improving his strength.
Oh yes, and he has a career that he loves, which are completely different from Voldemort. ”
"Career? You don't mean those deceitful amulets and shoddy maps......" Snape suddenly felt a toothache.
If that's what Kyle does, then they're Slytherins doing a lot of work.
Dumbledore blinked:
"At least the students love it, don't they?"
"Well, even if you're right, what about Occlumency." Snape mused, "If it weren't for the secret secret, would anyone need to master Occlumency in their second year?" ”
"You should know, Severus, we can't use Regent Mind on students." Dumbledore's tone became a little harsh.
"It's just a temptation." Snape snorted coldly:
"That kind of fearlessness...... He's so obvious. ”
"But you see, Severus, it's not unforgivable to have secrets, it's that you're too prejudiced against Kyle."
Snape frowned, noncommittal.
"Oh, yes." Dumbledore seemed to suddenly think of something, sighed and said:
"Because of the fire, I can't hide what happened in the underground classroom from Kyle and Harry's families, they should be coming over soon."
"Do you remember, last year because of Oren, Diana came to the academy once, and I have to say that although all these years have passed, the child has not changed at all, he is still the same...... It's all over the place. ”
Snape's face turned ugly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he asked coldly, "When!" ”
"It should be almost there." Dumbledore thought for a moment, "But the person who came could be Chris. ”
"Good."
Snape turned and left the room.
"Are you going to meet her?"
"No...... It doesn't matter to me whether she comes or not. ”
Snape didn't reply, "I just suddenly remembered that I forgot to take a batch of potion materials that I ordered at Hogsmeade before. ”
