Chapter 490

"... don't you speak ill of my father -" Harry glared at Snape in front of him, stretched his wand straight forward and jerked it up, "hanging upside down!"

However, although Harry has practiced very hard, it is obviously far from comparable when facing wizards such as Snape. Not to mention

"How dare you?"

Snape reacted faster than Harry and Ron thought.

He suddenly pulled out his magic wand and waved it at will. A light particle generated during the surge of magic suddenly exploded in front of him, and easily blocked Harry's spell.

"Tell me! Why did you use this spell? I don't remember teaching this spell in your spell course!"

Snape stared at Harry with his terrible eyes, and the tip of his wand trembled slightly, showing his restless heart.

"Where did you learn it? I don't have to tell you!" Harry stared at each other angrily, word by word.

"You --" snape looked at Harry coldly, gnashing his teeth for a while, but finally he snorted coldly. "I can guess that guy McLean must have taught you again... Potter boy, you'll always hide behind him and be a poor screamer!"

"I won't!" cried Harry angrily. "Wait! I'll beat you in a duel one day! Soon!"

"Hiss -"

Snape glanced at him contemptuously as if he had heard a big joke. He didn't wait for Harry to continue talking, but pushed Hermione gently to his side.

"Stay with your little friends! Miss know it all..." snape said impatiently. "Watch them for me, by the way, if you don't want them to lose their lives somehow."

After that, he didn't even look at Harry again, and Shi ran walked around Harry. Look at the direction he's going, but it's still beyond Hogwarts castle.

"Faint -" bang! "

Harry was probably overpowered by Snape's contempt and sarcasm. After Snape walked around him for a few steps, he turned back with a trembling spell.

To tell the truth, his strike can be regarded as a super level. In addition, he has a good talent. The chanting speed of this coma spell is really very fast. Except for the skill of forgetting to use the silent spell, all other aspects are quite excellent.

But he's fast, Snape's reaction is faster!

Harry who recited the spell first didn't even have time to finish reading the spell, Snape had already backhanded him. It was probably a silent disarming spell, because Harry's wand had flown into the air, and he himself fell heavily in the snow.

Because this time it could be said to be a sneak attack, Snape obviously showed strong anger. But he saw that after casting the disarming spell just now, he waved his staff for the second time and saw that he was about to fall.

"Professor Snape!"

Hermione finally spoke. She immediately stood in front of the fallen Harry with open arms, as if to block Snape's next spell with her body.

Ron, who looked blankly as an audience, finally recovered. He also hurriedly stood beside Hermione and protected Harry behind her.

Snape didn't look at Ron at all. He just frowned and stared at Hermione for a while. Unexpectedly, after a little while, he really put away his wand, turned and left.

"This..." Ron said in a puzzled way, "he just left?"

He had asked Hermione, but Hermione didn't answer him. It can be seen that from the beginning of today, Hermione seemed to have something on her mind, which made her face always dignified.

"Hermione?" Ron hesitated and called her again.

It was not until Snape crossed the snow slope ahead and disappeared from their view that Hermione shook her head slightly at Ron.

"We'll talk about the details later," she said, and went straight to Harry. "Harry, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Harry had already got up from the ground. After picking up his wand, he was patting the snow on his body without saying a word. After hearing Hermione's concern, she just turned around and shook her head silently.

His body may be all right, but the anger in his heart makes him faint and painful.

He also knew that he had been too reckless just now, but even so, he didn't regret it at all. Because of Snape's words, almost every sentence was firmly stuck in his heart.

In a way, Snape was harsh, but he couldn't say it was wrong. But isn't he trying? He has been trying!

So the more Snape poked his pain, the more angry he was. The anger was not only directed at Snape, but also probably at himself to a large extent.

"Harry, if I were you, don't take Snape's words too seriously." seeing that Harry was still angry, Hermione couldn't help persuading, "we can't be too anxious. We have to come step by step. And... You were too impulsive just now!"

Harry didn't retort because he knew that Hermione was absolutely right.

After taking a few deep breaths of cold air, he forced himself to calm down. After all, Hermione has found it now, which is more reassuring than anything.

After a little calmness, Harry put his eyes back on Hermione.

"What happened? Why are you with Snape?" he finally asked. "You don't know. Ron and I went to your house to find you, but we found your parents fainting in the bedroom, and you disappeared - we're all in a hurry!"

"Yes!" Ron quickly nodded. "I asked you just now, but why don't you say... Did that old bat do it?"

When Hermione heard it, she didn't start talking about it as usual. Inexplicably, she turned her eyes to the direction Snape left, and looked at it in a daze.

"Tell me? What happened?" Ron said hurriedly. "Since just now, is there anything you can't say? Oh -"

"It's not impossible to say," Hermione said with some trouble. "In fact, I don't know what to say..."

She paused again, as if organizing her words. In front of her, Harry and Ron waited patiently, even Marca in the distance.

But who knows, the first words she said made the three listeners jump.

"First of all... Yes, Snape broke into my house last night. When he opened the door and woke me up, I saw that his wand was aimed at me."

"What?" "really?"

Harry and Ron gave a cry of surprise almost at the same time, and then their faces were full of inexplicable expressions. As for Marca, although she didn't yell, she was also confused for a while.

"And then?" Harry hurried.

"... he sat on the chair in my bedroom all night. Although he didn't use a magic spell against me, the tip of the stick never left my direction." Hermione said, shaking her head in confusion. "I don't know what he meant by doing this. In short... It's like guarding me or guarding against me... I don't know."

"All night long, I asked him, but he didn't talk much. At most, he was sarcastic to me. As for what he said, I don't need to say, you should be able to guess -"

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and then both nodded at Hermione.

"Of course, there must be no good words," Harry grinned.

"In fact, it's not so..." Hermione doesn't seem to hate Snape as much as Harry. "Well, it's really hard to hear good words from him -"

"Not at all!" Ron interrupted. "Not even Marca."

"Don't say that yet!" Harry waved to Ron. "Hermione, what's next?"

Harry seemed very concerned about Hermione's experience that night. Because he always thought Snape was a bad guy. Now he finally caught Snape doing bad things. He was even a little excited.

If he can take this opportunity to catch something, he can threaten Snape with it next time there is any conflict.

Of course, it's mainly because Hermione looks good now, otherwise he probably doesn't have the mind.

After hearing Harry's inquiry, Hermione was stunned again, as if thinking about something complicated. After a while, she looked at Harry with a hesitant look.

In the distance, Maka was listening to their conversation, but his eyes were always locked on Snape's whereabouts. For a moment of Hermione's hesitation, Snape had reached the outer edge of the influence of the mysterious circular mirror.

At present, there are no souls in that range. Not only the souls of wizards, but also the souls of owls and other small animals are swallowed up by the round mirror and become a terrible dead land of silence.

In this case, there is no soul to absorb, the suction may still exist, but the spatial ripples that vibrate again and again do not continue to appear. If someone passes by without knowing it, you can't find anything unusual.

But Snape stopped exactly a few steps away from the scope of influence.

Maka looked at the invisible figure from a distance, but her heart was quite heavy. He didn't understand what Snape wanted to do and why.

Just then Snape suddenly took several consecutive steps forward and saw that he was about to step into that terrible land. When makaton rushed forward, the magic wand in her hand had been raised, and a magic spell was ready to go.

But suddenly, Hermione's words made him stop on the way.
