Just look at all the trouble he's gotten into these past two years! We can't expect everyone else to always be chasing after him, cleaning up his messes, can we?
Parvati said coldly.
She hated it most when Hagrid caused Darren trouble.
Her words won widespread approval.
Even the Slytherin students applauded for her.
Darren inwardly lamented Hagrid's miserable situation, but outwardly pretended to want to defend Hagrid.
This made many students even more angry.
They started speaking ill of Hagrid on various occasions.
They also said that if Hogwarts had never hired Hagrid in the first place, none of this would have happened.
Darren would always argue with them.
Because even though they always insult Hagrid, they gain "saintly points" if they help Hagrid in his defense.
Perhaps this is a kind of rebellious thought: although I am moved by your integrity, we just won't listen!
But this is just the beginning.
After a week, very few people spoke ill of Hagrid anymore.
Because Hagrid really didn't show up for a whole week.
Hagrid wouldn't even appear in front of the students during mealtimes.
Hagrid didn't even show up when they finally had the chance to go to Hogsmeade.
Darren was taken to Hogsmeade by Hermione to relax.
But she wouldn't let Harry go.
Because Harry still didn't listen to what the golden egg was saying while he was taking a bath, or look for any clues.
Hermione also assigned Harry the task of analyzing the clues inside the golden egg. She said Harry needed to exercise his brain and couldn't always rely on Darren's help. Harry sighed.
He felt that this wasn't the reason Hermione wouldn't let him go to Hogsmeade, but he couldn't find any evidence to prove it.
As for Ron, he hadn't finished his homework and was punished by the professor to copy it, so he couldn't go to Hogsmeade anyway.
He was overjoyed to hear that Harry wasn't allowed to go either, and wanted Harry to stay obediently in the library with him.
Harry agreed.
So after seeing Darren off, he went back to his dorm to get his homework.
He pulled out a few books from his bag, intending to make a show of it, but instead pulled out a piece of parchment.
Harry certainly recognized the parchment.
This is the map that Fred and George gave him.
Harry casually stuffed it into his pocket.
He decided he could go to the kitchen first to get some food before going to the library, so that he and Ron could stay there until Darren and the others returned.
In order to prevent the professors from finding out that he had secretly gone to the kitchen, Harry naturally had to bring parchment with him.
He walked out of the dormitory and headed towards the kitchen.
Then he discovered a problem.
A name called Batty Crouch appeared in Snack's office.
He wasn't deliberately watching Snape's office.
Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do; Snape was the teacher who hated him the most in the entire school.
If any professor would deduct points from his grades for going to the kitchen to get food, it would be Snape.
So Harry glanced there instinctively.
But that one glance stunned him.
Batty Crouch.
Yes, that’s the name.
At the Christmas ball, he heard Percy say that Mr. Barty Crouch was seriously ill, but why would he be in Snape's office if he was seriously ill?
He instinctively wanted to find out what was going on.
So he went back to get the Invisibility Cloak and then quickly ran to Snape's office.
only……
Suddenly, a huge hole appeared in the gap of the stairs, and Harry stepped into it.
He screamed, and then his parchment slipped from his hand and fluttered down the stairs.
He almost instinctively wanted to reach out and retrieve it.
but.
Snape!
Snape came downstairs.
He looked around suspiciously, then seemed to realize something and began to grope around as if trying to grab someone who didn't exist.
"Harry Potter, I know you're here, you're definitely up to no good!"
He said sternly.
Harry was on the verge of tears.
He looked at his stuck leg, at the parchment floating on the stairs, and at Snape who was about to approach him, and felt a chill run down his spine.
When will he be able to stand up?
462
Chapter 462 Search Office?!
Just as Harry was on the verge of tears, thinking he was about to be caught, the sound of footsteps going up the stairs instantly caught his and Snape's attention.
Moody's.
It's Moody's!
Harry knew that Moody's fake eyes could see him.
He felt a little guilty.
how to say?
Although it's not considered doing anything bad, wearing an invisibility cloak during the day is still somewhat problematic.
Not to mention he was stuck in the gap of the stairs, while trying to evade Snape's pursuit.
Based on this, no one would believe he is innocent, right?
Harry felt even more conflicted when he thought about Moody's personality.
Is he really going to get caught by Moody's?
So he kept praying that Moody would let him go.
Moody's fake eyes paused for a moment when they saw Harry.
Just when Harry thought Moody was about to expose him, Moody looked away.
He set his sights on Snape.
"Why are you here?"
Moody's face hardened.
"What mischief are you planning to do now?"
Harry froze.
He never imagined that Moody would treat Snape this way.
Then he remembered reading in Rita Skeeter's newspaper that Moody seemed to have searched Snape's office.
"I didn't intend to do anything bad, but my office was broken into."
I suspect someone... a student broke in. Back in second grade, a student stole something..."
Snape quickly replied, as if making a defense.
But Moody interrupted him.
"You said your office was broken into? So, what do you think those people were looking for?"
Or, to put it another way, have you left anything in your office that you shouldn't have?
Harry noticed that Snape's face was somewhat ashen.
He said gloomily, "You've searched my office thoroughly. Don't you know what's in my office?"
