I earned 100 million Galleons at Hogwarts

Chapter 78 Snape, do you want this pot?
John came out of the principal's office and found Fred and George in the auditorium.

They sat around two sides of the long table.

There was a thick old book in front of Hermione, the pages were yellowed, she was reading very attentively.

Fred, George, Ron, and Harry were lying on the table with their eyes closed, looking sluggish and lacking in energy and blood.

He was called to the headmaster's office just after the celebration of the Ravenclaw queue ended, so he hadn't had time to communicate with Fred and the others.

John walked behind Hermione and leaned over to read the words in the book.

It tells about modern wizards and their important deeds.

"What are you looking for?"

John's sudden utterance startled Hermione, and she trembled reflexively, and she pushed the table with a bang.

All the sleeping people were woken up.

"Oh, sorry."

John sat down next to Hermione apologetically.

Fred blinked his sleepy eyes, saw John's figure clearly, he woke up instantly, and asked hurriedly, "John, how are you, are you not injured?"

"No, it's intact, not a single hair has fallen out." John replied with a smile.

"That's good." Fred and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

George said: "We have been sitting near Quirrell and Snape, but we have never noticed that the two of them have a tendency to fight. Of course, it is also possible that some of us were too focused on watching the game and missed it."

Harry and Ron glanced at each other and bowed their heads silently.

The second half of George's sentence refers to the two of them.

Because the second half of today's game was too exciting, the two of them just focused on cheering, completely forgetting about the things Fred and George entrusted to them.

So they didn't know if Snape had done something behind.

"It's okay, the person who murdered me must have made preparations in advance." John shook his head and said, "Cedric was in a strange state at the time, as if he was being controlled by someone."

"Being controlled by someone?" Hermione tilted her head for a while, opened her eyes, and exclaimed, "Imperius Curse? That's one of the three unforgivable curses. Someone in the academy really dares to use it on students." Is this a spell?"

"No, his condition doesn't quite resemble the symptoms of the Imperius Curse."

John frowned, he could be sure that Cedric was normal until he finally chased the Snitch.

It was not until the last moment that Cedric suddenly changed.

It's a bit like hypnosis in the Muggle world. Someone planted a seed in his subconscious mind, and only when he heard a certain order or saw a certain scene, the pre-designed behavior would be executed.

John told Fred and the others his speculation, and they looked at each other, a little puzzled.

"Okay, this matter is over now, don't get too entangled, we just need to know a little bit." John said with a smile, "The enemy we are facing has already started to use unscrupulous means, so you must be careful during the investigation , and finally go together, don’t give him a chance to hurt you.”

John didn't tell them the real information of Professor Quirrell, lest a few of them go to fight him without knowing the importance.

In case Professor Quirrell is really anxious at that time, it is not impossible to kill two and escape.

So let Professor Snape share a little more damage, he is a good man, he should understand!

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, the three of Hermione nodded solemnly.

Especially Harry, he had already experienced it once, so his expression was very serious, as if he was about to go to the battlefield tomorrow.

Seeing their appearance, John smiled and pointed in the direction of Dumbledore's office: "But don't be too nervous, there is still a most powerful wizard here, and he dare not do anything blatantly."

Thinking of the old man with white hair, everyone's expressions softened a lot.

Dumbledore is like a talisman, as long as he is in the academy, everyone will automatically think that Hogwarts is the safest place in the world.

"How far has your investigation progressed?"

John continued to ask, he wanted to see if his little butterfly changed the course of events.

Hermione said: "After Harry was attacked yesterday, we went to Hagrid, and we got a name from him."

Listening to the familiar plot, John asked with satisfaction, "Who?"

"Nicole Mailer, do you know who he is?"

Hermione looked at John expectantly, hoping to get an answer from John's mouth.

Since she learned the name yesterday, she has been looking for it in the book, but unfortunately, she didn't find any useful clues.

"Well" John pondered for a long time, and then said, "I don't know, you know I've been very busy recently, and I rarely have time to go to the library."

Hermione rolled her eyes, and her eyes moved to the yellowed pages again.

John and Fred have learned badly, and now they are unreliable.

After talking nonsense with Fred and the others, John got up and prepared to go back to the dormitory.

Today's game consumed too much of his energy, and he needs to go back and take a good rest.

But as soon as he reached Ravenclaw's tower, a voice came from the side.

"John Bullock."

John looked to the right, and Cedric stood there anxiously and confused with drooping eyebrows.

"Cedric? What do you want from me?" John asked.

Cedric said, "I want to talk to you about what you said to me."

"Oh?"

John raised his eyebrows, nodded after a moment of hesitation, and walked towards Cedric.

During the walk, John's wand had moved to the most convenient position.

After all, he couldn't be sure whether Cedric had escaped the influence of being controlled.

If Cedric attacks suddenly again, he may suffer a big loss.

Walking to an unoccupied corner, John stood in a position where he could retreat at any time, and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"What do you mean by that sentence you told me?" Cedric asked, looking closely at John.

John replied: "Literally, I see that your state is a bit strange, so I want to remind you that if you are fine, I will talk too much, but judging by your expression, there seems to be something wrong."

Cedric observed John's face and took a deep breath: "I also feel a little strange, because I can't remember how I caught the golden snitch at all, as if someone erased this memory from my mind , or I haven’t experienced it at all.”

Cedric showed a distressed expression, patted his head and continued: "So I went back and thought about it carefully. There is only one person who has the opportunity and the ability to do something to me."

"Who?"

Cedric spat out a name word by word: "Professor Snape."

"Huh?" John looked at Cedric in surprise.

He had already put the blame on Professor Quirrell, but now the person concerned came out to overturn the case for him.

He also revealed another suspect whom he had labeled a good guy.

It's outrageous!
Could it be that Cedric is still awake?
Or was Professor Quirrell drinking the Polyjuice and pretending to be Snape?

Or had my little butterfly really changed, Snape really gone bad?

But the key point is that I have no grudge against him!
