Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

Although Professor Quirrell rescued them in time, the five of them were inevitably late. Fortunately, this class was a Charms class, and the short wizard who taught this class was Flitwick, the headmaster of Ravenclaw House.

When the five of them broke into the Charms classroom, Professor Flitwick happened to be holding the roll call and called Harry's name.

When Harry gasped and shouted "arrive", Professor Flitwick screamed excitedly and fell to the ground and disappeared - with the help of this loyal fan of Harry, the small flaws of the five of them being late were natural were ignored.

In this spell class, Big Mouth Seamus showed off one of his extraordinary talents - a simple levitation spell, which suddenly allowed him to do tricks: when all the students were While trying to make a feather float, Seamus used the levitation spell to blow it up into powder.

Seamus' "excellent" performance not only attracted the attention of Professor Flitwick, but also attracted the attention of Hermione, who secretly competed with Dean and successfully made her feathers levitate first.

By the time she reacted and realized that she had "won" Dean, get out of class was over.

Hermione couldn't help but feel angry.

Of course, Dean knew that Miss Know-It-All wanted to prove she was better than him, but unfortunately the system did not release relevant tasks, and he was too lazy to compete with Hermione for such a false reputation.

In fact, Dean knew in his heart that it would be difficult for him to win over Hermione before the weakened mental state disappeared - the blackthorn wand did not recognize Dean's strength like the Thunderbird wand, and Dean was very uncomfortable to use it. Conveniently, it seems that there is a long way to go to tame this second-hand wand.

Dean really wanted to ask who the original owner of Mundungus's blackthorn wand was. If possible, he wouldn't mind grabbing the wand from that person again. Maybe this was the right way to get the wand home quickly. .

After Dean "cleverly" avoided a failure, Hermione seemed to have gained endless confidence and fighting spirit, and she was particularly active in the following classes.

Whether in Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class or Professor Binns' History of Magic class, Miss Know-It-All became the one who attracted the most attention in the class, and even Harry's limelight was completely stolen by her.

Dean was happy to see this happen. He wished that more people would distract him so that he could appear less conspicuous. It would be best to forget about his "proficiency in prophecy"!

As for losing to Hermione repeatedly - there will be no punishment anyway even if he loses, not to mention that he has never competed with Hermione, so can he be called a loser?

In contrast, Dean has more important things, such as what happened to the "Elf Language Expertise" extracted from Professor Quirrell?

Dean doesn't think there is any need for Professor Quirrell to specifically learn "Elf Language", because most of the elves who come into contact with wizards master human language, and there is no communication barrier at all.

Dean, who couldn't figure it out, originally planned to find an opportunity to ask Professor Snape during Potions class in the afternoon. He felt that it shouldn't be difficult to get the answer based on their "friendship" between the two.

But when Dean read a piece of news in the Daily Prophet at lunch, he suddenly understood.

"The latest report on the Gringotts break-in incident: The investigation into the Gringotts break-in incident on July 31st is still ongoing... It is generally believed that it was the work of unknown dark forces witches and wizards...Gringotts' The goblins reiterated today that nothing had been stolen... The underground vault that had been searched by the intruders had actually been drained out earlier that day... A Gringotts Goblin spokesperson said this afternoon: What exactly was stored in the vault? No comment, please don't interfere in this matter..."

Dean counted the days, and it should be the day when Hagrid took Harry to Diagon Alley for shopping. So the target of the theft should be the Sorcerer's Stone - obviously the thief was Quirrell, who was possessed by Voldemort.

Now Dean understood that Quirrell had mastered the Elvish language and was obviously preparing to sneak into Gringotts and steal the Philosopher's Stone.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore sent Hagrid to remove the Philosopher's Stone first, so Quirrell failed and had to choose to enter Hogwarts to steal the Philosopher's Stone.

I think "Elf Language Expertise" was one of the abilities taught to Quirrell by Voldemort. Unfortunately, it didn't come in handy, but it gave Dean an advantage.

Dean, who had thought through all this, was not happy at all. He had no intention of robbing Gringotts. He couldn't think of any other uses for "Elf Language Specialization" at the moment. It was simply a useless skill. Well, it might as well be a random spell!

……

In the Potions class, Professor Snape acted as if he had never known Dean before and turned a blind eye to him. At the same time, just like in the original book, he made things difficult for Harry and found excuses to punish Griffon a lot. The large number of points caused almost all Gryffindors to be full of resentment towards Snape.

Dean may be the only exception. He owed Snape too many favors before, and knowing the twist about Snape at the end of the original book, Dean felt that he had no position to hate Snape. On the contrary, he understood Snape very well. Pu's actions.

On the one hand, Snape transferred his hatred of James Potter to Harry; on the other hand, because of his deep love for Lily Potter, he had to protect Harry.

Such contradictory feelings can hardly keep a person rational, even if Snape is such a calm person.

In order not to appear so alien, Dean chose to sit on the sidelines. He had not yet figured out how to resolve the conflict between Snape and Harry, and was not sure whether he should do so - this would undoubtedly undermine Dumbledore. plan of.

Dean has deliberately kept a distance from the so-called greatest wizard of our time since he entered school. Dean feels that if anyone in this world can see through him, then this person can only be Dumbledore.

So since Snape deliberately kept a distance from him, Dean was content with the status quo and had no intention of being as warm as Snape in front of anyone.

Then the biggest role of the Potions class seems to be to master the potion formula and test the effect of "Potion Specialization".

In the next Potions class, Hermione, who obviously had not experienced Snape's power, once again transformed into "Miss Know-it-all" and was always rushing to answer Snape's questions. Unfortunately, her positive performance not only failed to impress Gryffindor She earned house points, but Snape made excuses to deduct a few points, which made Hermione furious.

Dean watched all this with a smile from beginning to end. Snape's teaching to Gryffindor may be questionable, but his way of educating Hermione was absolutely appropriate. It was time to let this self-righteous little girl suffer.

But Dean soon stopped laughing because he and Hermione were assigned to a group by Snape for the next potion preparation.

Snape definitely did it on purpose!
