66- Sorry Snape!
"I..." Harry hesitated.
His expression almost showed that he knew what he was saying.
"Please tell me, I really want to know what's hidden underneath!" Daphne almost couldn't wait to ask her question.
It's a rare opportunity to get the answer to the puzzle without forcing through the three-headed dog!
But Harry didn't answer her right away. Daphne's behavior puzzled him: "Why do you want to know what Dumbledore has hidden in the castle?"
"Because I'm curious too!" Daphne tried to act like a curious baby.
But Harry still felt suspicious.
Daphne's various actions were really suspicious. Coupled with her identity as a Slytherin and her performance in the first flying class at the beginning of the school year, Harry thought he couldn't tell her what he knew - before figuring out her motives.
"Did you know that there was a -"
"Three-headed dog."
"Yes, a three-headed dog." Harry was also carefully studying Daphne's face, hoping to see a clue from her face.
"I actually had a similar experience before, and by chance I knew what was locked inside."
"Ah?" Harry was stunned.
"Well, it's not a coincidence that you can meet me tonight. I often sneak out of the common room at night to wander around." She paused and added: "Night walks are not the patent of Gryffindor."
Daphne's words eliminated the gap between Harry and her, and she gained Harry's trust.
"Is that so, but I don't know what's in it. I only know that it is a small package that was previously in Gringotts and was moved out by Hagrid on the same day Gringotts was invaded!"
Daphne had some impression of this news. The invasion of Gringotts was widely circulated among pure-blood families, which brought Gringotts a lot of trouble. Many pure-blood wizards chose to extract the treasures in their vaults.
Although Gringotts kept announcing that nothing was stolen from them, there was still a crack in the trust between the two sides.
Although, Harry also provided her with a very useful clue.
'My descendants used my potion ingredients, which means that they didn't treat me as an outsider. So why should I be polite to those who inherited my potion storage room?'
Rhys figured it out.
So during dinner time, Daphne noticed that Rhys had a faint smile on his face.
"Rhys, you seem to be in a good mood."
"That's natural. I'm proud of the heirs of Slytherin House. They have kept the fine traditions of the house very well." After opening Snape's potion storage room, Rhys was sure that Snape had inherited at least part of his spirit.
The raw materials for potions there were all amazing. Except for those that require specific dark creatures, other potion materials can easily be found there!
Snape's efforts for this moved Rhys. So he took some of each to show his respect.
Interestingly, Rhys found that Snape was using the potion storage room he left behind, but it seemed that he didn't know the various anti-theft mechanisms inside. The kind-hearted Rhys opened a few less damaging mechanisms before leaving, so that Snape would understand that there were still many secrets in this storage room that he had not discovered.
Daphne was confused by Rhys's incoherent words. She scratched her head and took herself a piece of beef kidney pie.
She also gained a lot today. Harry was good at getting Hagrid to talk, and Hagrid accidentally revealed part of the truth - the item was related to Nicolas Flamel.
This name was unfamiliar to Harry, but it was a household name for Daphne.
Nicolas Flamel, the owner of the Philosopher's Stone!
Now she knew what was hidden under the trapdoor.
Both of them were in a good mood.
No one noticed that Snape was absent from today's dinner.
However, when the young wizards of Hogwarts and other professors who stayed in school saw him the next day, they were all shocked by the murderous intent on his face.
"Severus, you seem to be in a bad mood?" After a moment of hesitation, Professor McGonagall took the initiative to ask about Snape's condition.
Click! The fork in Snape's hand was broken by him.
