Chapter 222 Asking for clarification in person (page 13)
"What is going to come will come," Bourne said to himself in his mind.
Seeing his pensive look, the three little ones were all a little worried. They were worried that Bourne would report what they were about to do.
That violated dozens of school rules!
But in fact, Bourne's worries are different from those of the little wizards.
Gryffindor's little lion has never been afraid of breaking school rules and deducting house points. House points can be deducted but can also be added back.
As for sneaking into the Slytherin common room, thanks to the indoctrination given to him by Grandpa Horace since he was a child, he even knows more ways than the serious little snakes.
The focus of his thinking was on how to deal with the basilisk - Harry didn't know who made the sound he heard, but Bourne knew that it was the murmur of a magical animal with a danger level of 5X - glare Whoever dies, monsters with such abilities are best killed by long-range sniping.
Seeing that everyone was silent, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, so Ron timidly suggested: "How about we stop preparing the medicine and report to Principal Dumbledore first."
In fact, this is what a normal young wizard should do when he encounters trouble at Hogwarts, but the three of them accidentally ignored it at the beginning.
Well, the subjective initiative is too strong.
Of course, Bourne had no intention of complaining after them. He just shook his head and stated a fact: "Dumbledore has not been in school recently. Not only that, our Dean McGonagall is not in Hogwarts either. They have some other We have to be busy with important things. In the past week or two, our Transfiguration class has been replaced by Potions and Charms classes, and you should be aware of this."
After catching the absconding Peter Pettigrew, Dumbledore immediately followed Kingsley and the others to London. Within a few hours, Dean McGonagall of Bourne's group also received a notice from the Fire Phoenix Fox and followed him to the Ministry of Magic. Before leaving, she entrusted the teaching affairs of Hogwarts to Snape.
Peter Pettigrew is also suspected of committing several crimes during his escape, several of which are related to his identity as an Animagus. As the most famous Animagus shapeshifter and transfiguration expert in this century, as well as the headmistress of Gryffindor (she was actually the headmistress of Gryffindor when Peter Pettigrew was in school), McGonagall The professor had no choice but to go to the Ministry of Magic in London to serve as a consultant to the Aurors, assisting them in collecting evidence and investigating.
As for why Vice President McGonagall entrusted important academic work to Snape before she left, rather than Sprout or Professor Flitwick, Byrne guessed that this might be Dumbledore's instruction.
Peter Pettigrew betrayed the Potters, causing Lily Potter to be killed. Snape may have been thinking about him for a long time.
If he wasn't overwhelmed by the academic responsibilities of hundreds of young wizards, based on Burn's knowledge of Snape, he had no doubt that the headmaster of Slytherin House would take the time to visit the Ministry of Magic in London.
After all, the temporary cell in the Auror office was not Azkaban, which was full of dementors.
It is not too difficult for a potion master to prepare a potion that can make the human body experience extreme pain, and even watch it dissolve into soup from the inside out after drinking it.
"But I don't sincerely advise you to provoke Professor Snape." Bourne sincerely advised the trio not to commit suicide recently. "In the past week or two, you went to his private storage room to borrow money from him without telling him." 'Things, once discovered, I suspect you will encounter great misfortune."
Hermione frowned: "But if we don't trick Draco, how can we know what other plots he has?"
For such a little witch with a stereotype of Slytherin, Byrne actually really wanted to tell her what those battle nuns who chanted "The Emperor is on High" and "conquered" heretics did. .
Look what they did!
Conspiracy or not, it is all a false excuse (only a certain big blue bird rarely does this). To put it bluntly, it is an inefficient method that is not uncommon for people to do it. Once they suspect someone of heresy, those girls usually come to the door to ask face-to-face.
Of course, he understands that there are differences between people, and after traveling through time, he gradually learned to face the differences between the two worlds.
Therefore, Bourne just patiently gave the trio a suggestion: "Some people like to keep diaries, but what is written in the diary must be what is in their heart?
You suspect that Draco is engaging in a conspiracy, but if you can figure it out with such a simple method as clichés, can it still be called a conspiracy?
Hogwarts is such a big place, and we are all in the same grade, and we take several classes together - we meet you without looking up - you can definitely find an opportunity to question Draco in person. "
What Bourne wants to express is also very simple: you can't understand it even if you ask him face to face, and you can't even understand it if you ask him behind his back.
Didn’t you see, the inefficient Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Human Empire has already lost 41k, and is still counting the losses caused during the Horus Heresy. In the tribunal established after the Great Rebellion, a small number of elite (head) and English (iron) judges began to learn to issue extermination orders on their own.
The reason why there is such a terrible efficiency gap is not because of one person who only works behind the scenes, but because of the other person who goes to the front line in person as soon as he encounters a problem and chooses to solve the root cause of the problem face to face. .
"Brilliant! That's a great idea! If I end up having to drink Polyjuice Potion with Crabbe or Gower's Toenail in it, I might as well just go for the snot-flavored Bibi's All-Flavour Beans."
Ron nodded approvingly.
In Bourne's view, this little wizard might be the one with the highest understanding among the trio. After all, he is also a well-informed Weasley.
Then, Ron happily stretched out a finger and said: "Tomorrow we will have a common Potions class with Slytherin, and Snape has been very busy recently and will leave the classroom after class. We just need to make If you have a chance to confront Draco face to face, you might be able to find the answer to your question easily."
Harry originally wanted to say something, but then he thought of the illustrations in "Powerful Potions" he had just seen. Appetite determines the brain, and he immediately changed sides and became the one who supported Ron's ideas.
As a result, among the three people, the vote became three to two.
Although Hermione was still a little reluctant, due to the Disai system, she could no longer raise any strong objections.
"B-But I just borrowed this "Powerful Potion". Do I have to return it now? I haven't finished reading it yet."
Byrne said it was okay to worry about her. "You know you don't have to take this book to the auditorium to read while you're eating - you're probably going to have trouble eating after you touch the mold on the book; or read this book before going to bed - —When you rub your eyes, your fingers contaminated with those magic spores may also cause some harm to your eyes...
Then, you can finish reading "Powerful Potion" in about a week. When the time comes, you can find a time to give it to me, and I will come to the library to return it for you. Mrs. Pince will not have any complaints against you then. "
