A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

"He did it," Harry muttered.

"Potter, follow me to the school hospital, you need a good night's sleep," said Professor McGonagall.

"No, wait, Professor McGonagall. I know what Voldemort did, what he's been planning all this time! A wand, a handy wand."

Professor McGonagall glared at him, pursing his mouth tightly, before saying for a long time, "If you are talking about the 'Elder Wand', Professor Hepp has already refuted the rumor..."

"Not the one from the professor," Harry said loudly. "It was too late. He got a wand from under a snakewood tree, and it looked very extraordinary, like a legendary wand..." His The voice slowed down, and his mind turned frantically: "It's a snake-wood staff! He got Salazar Slytherin's snake-wood staff."

Several people took a breath.

"The seventh in the top ten wands?" Ron asked.

"What? Oh," Harry said blankly, still lost in his own thoughts: "Yeah, that's what Voldemort is for, he doesn't care about the Elder Wand . It's too difficult for the professor to get it, and he's not sure if it's true or not... So he deliberately provoked a dispute to cause trouble for the professor, in order to cover up his investigation of other wands..."

Snape looked at Harry with a complicated look.

"But how did he know the location of the snake stick?" Professor McGonagall asked dryly.

"He's been following similar rumors, and a lot of people have gone missing," Sirius said. "Like the owner of Florin's ice cream parlor, who we suspect was caught because of this. He—"

"He's descended from Dexter Fusco, the former headmaster of Hogwarts, and has a legend of a powerful wand," Hermione said sharply, then gave Sirius a cautious look, "I only recently You know, right?"

Sirius smiled at her.

"It's all right," Harry hammered his palm with his fist. "He worked so hard to finally get the wand that suits him best."

"Where's the Dark Lord?" Snape asked suddenly.

"I don't know," Harry shook his head, "I only saw a building complex on a hill that looked a bit like Hogwarts... By the way, there are two huge statues on either side of the main entrance."

"The top of the mountain, similar to Hogwarts, and there are two statues at the door..." Hermione racked her brains, recalling where she had heard such a statement.

"Yes, the two statues are a man and a woman, but I really didn't pay attention, no, it should be Voldemort who didn't care..." Harry looked at Hermione expectantly, hoping to get an answer immediately. After a few seconds-

"Ilvermorny!"

"Ilvermorny."

Hermione and Neville said at the same time.

Everyone looked at Neville, and Neville scratched his head, "Byers told me a lot about his school, including the tree you mentioned. You know, I'm very interested in herbal medicine classes, so I asked more. A few words... But what I heard was different, Byers told me that the two founders of the school planted an unknown snakewood outside the school that could not be cut down and destroyed. It was later discovered that the tree's The leaves have powerful medical effects."

"I'll notify Dumbledore right away," said Professor McGonagall decisively. She drew out her wand, and a silver Patronus flew out from the tip of the wand, flew towards the outside of the school, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Harry was a little relieved.

"So, Potter—" Professor McGonagall looked at Harry.

"I don't need to go to the school hospital," Harry said hastily. "I'm fine, something like this happened before... just take a break, or get some air." He made an excuse for himself.

Sirius cleared his throat: "Well - I'll take him out for a walk, it's nearby."

"Well then, I'll tell Dumbledore all this as it is," said Professor McGonagall reluctantly, and she hurried away.

The others were also about to leave, when they suddenly discovered that there was another person at the scene - not Snape, his presence was too strong, just standing here involuntarily emitting cold air, scaring the other students away — was another man hiding behind Snape.

"Draco Malfoy!? What are you doing here?" Ron nearly dropped his jaw.

Harry and Hermione stopped breathing, Malfoy knew! He knew that I (Harry) could see Voldemort's mind! He knew it, Lucius Malfoy knew it, and what about Voldemort...

The remaining five people figured it out at the same time. After a disturbing silence.

Sirius drew his wand silently, and Snape said slowly, "Give him to me, Blake—"

"Go away if you don't want to get hurt, I'm not kidding," said Sirius.

"Really?" said Snape with a deadpan expression, his hand reaching to his pocket, where he had his wand. "You're still so impulsive and arrogant, with no regard for the consequences."

"I know what I'm doing," said Sirius nonchalantly.

Draco took a step back, frightened by the look in his eyes, pale.

Snape stared at Sirius and whispered, "Oh? You know what you're doing...like school, in the screaming shack?"

The muscles on Sirius's face suddenly trembled with excitement. He knew what Snape was talking about, they were sworn enemies at school, and if there was a chance to expel each other, they would never hesitate. Snape spent a lot of time tracking him and James, even approaching the truth that Remus was a werewolf. Tired of being chased, Sirius impulsively told him the location of Remus' transformation. If James hadn't found out and pulled Snape out of the screaming shack, no one knew what would have happened.

It's possible that Snape managed to escape with a secret, and then spread the word about forcing Remus to drop out of school; it's also possible that Snape was directly torn to shreds by a werewolf who smelled human...

Sirius hesitated, but his expression firmed as he looked at Harry.

He had been wrong once with Peter Pettigrew, so wrong that he couldn't leave any hidden dangers behind.

"Just an oblivion spell... Snape, Harry... I can't risk it."

"It's best to wait until Dumbledore comes back before making a decision," Snape said, clutching the wand in his pocket. "If we let our headmaster know that you attacked students..."

"I don't care!" said Sirius frantically, spewing hot sparks from his wand.

Snape drew his wand immediately, and the two pointed at each other, as they had done in the Shrieking Shack more than a year ago.

"But I care, Sirius," said Harry.

Sirius immediately turned his head to look at him, Harry looked at him resolutely, and after a while, Sirius took the initiative to avoid his eyes.

James...

"I won't say it," Draco said suddenly.

Everyone looked at him.

Draco's face paled even more, a few drops of sweat dripping from the tip of his slender nose.

"You lied!" said Ron. "If you just let you go, you'll turn around and sue! He's got a criminal record, remember? Buckbeak—"

Draco gave him a stern look, and he said to Harry, "Potter, I have something to tell you, it's important... only you know," he added.

Harry looked back at him, Draco's expression trembling with panic.

"Good," he said.

"Harry?"

"Harry!"

"It's okay, listen to what he has to say first," Harry said, and he gave Draco a deep look: "Malfoy, even if you don't do this, I won't let Sirius cast the Oblivion Charm on you, not because of believing in you. , I saw with my own eyes what happened that night...I just didn't want Sirius to leave school because of you, because...it wasn't worth it."

Draco's pale face flushed slightly, almost pointing to his nose and saying, I know your dad is a Death Eater, so I don't trust you to keep a secret at all.

"We went too," Ron said. "Me and Hermione, and Neville."

Draco turned to stare at him.

"We're standing far away and won't eavesdrop." Ron turned his head and muttered softly, "Who knows if you'll take the opportunity to curse Harry."

Draco responded with a mocking sneer, "Yes."

They walked down the steps, Ron, Hermione, and Neville following them far behind, and when Harry looked back he could even see Hermione holding his arm, Ron pointing to Neville as he said something. Farther away, Sirius and Snape stood on the stone steps, neither looking at the other.

They walked a good distance, leaving the greenhouse and Hagrid's hut behind, and seeing that they were about to reach the main entrance of Hogwarts, the boar wings loomed over the cast iron gate. Harry was finally impatient, he felt that he had made a mistake by being here.

"How long are you going to hesitate?" Harry said.

Draco finally stopped, and he glanced at the three men who adorned them in the distance, making sure they wouldn't hear what was going to be said. His lips moved slightly, and he said inaudibly, "I support Professor Hepp."

"what?"

"I said, between that person and Professor Heppe, I support Professor Heppe." Draco tried to keep his tone calm, but when he saw Potter's utterly surprised face, it was as if He was talking about the Arabian Nights, and he suddenly became angry and wanted to punch it.

But he didn't dare to do it, there were three stalkers behind them.

"Don't think I believe everything you say, Malfoy," Harry said.

"Okay, I can tell you a secret. You swear you won't tell anyone," Draco said reluctantly, feeling terribly uncomfortable.

Harry blinked. "Okay, I swear."

"Answering too quickly! You have no sincerity at all," Draco said angrily.

"I don't have time to waste," Harry countered. "You can choose to believe it or not, at least I have a better reputation than you."

Draco's grey eyes were full of disgust as he weighed Harry, the first time this had happened. He had to force himself to think about a question: Is it worth giving the secret to Harry Potter?

Draco took a deep breath. "Well, remember what happened in the second year, the Chamber of Secrets and the Basilisk?"

"Of course I do," Harry said quizzically, and Malfoy wouldn't want to say that he knew he and Ron were using Polyjuice Potion about him? That would really get them into trouble, they broke quite a few school rules, and Hermione even sneaked into Snape's private storage room and took the bicorn horn and the skin of the African tree snake.

"I used to have that diary."

"What?" Harry froze for a moment, not because of what Draco said - he already knew it, it was Dobby who told him. What he wondered was why Draco Malfoy told him this, shouldn't he have kept it quiet?

Draco's expression also became odd.

"I followed you to an abandoned girls' bathroom, which was later found... When I returned to investigate, you were gone. I only found a diary on the ground..."

"And then?" Harry asked, discussing these things with Ron and Hermione.

"Something happened in between..." Draco said vaguely. "I then handed him over to Professor Hepp, who destroyed it."

"You handed it over to the professor yourself?"

"Yes, I asked him to help me keep it a secret, I can't get involved with this."

Harry was stunned in place. He always thought that the professor discovered the abnormality and confiscated the diary (horcrux) from Malfoy. They also laughed at Lucius Malfoy for being a cocoon and almost killing his own son... But the truth is that Draco Malfoy personally handed the diary (horcrux) to Professor Hepp, which led to the destruction of the first Horcrux.

This is just ridiculous.

He felt the world spinning, the surrounding scene blurred, and his consciousness kept falling. His scars started to hurt again.
