"There is a hellhound locked up on the fourth floor. If you are fine, please don't go there!"
The day before Halloween was Thursday, and Hufflepuff only had a small Herbology class in the afternoon, and Hermione and Hermione rarely had any extra classes, so the three of them gathered at Hagrid's hut to enjoy a rare leisure and afternoon tea - of course , only tea was provided by Hagrid, snacks and other items were all "smoothly" brought out from the school kitchen by the three of them.
As for Hagrid's rock biscuits, Hermione and Harry said they couldn't bear it.
Moreover, they had no idea of tearing off other people's umbrellas after being caught in the rain, and using rock cakes to trick Neville, an honest boy.
Also taking this opportunity, Hermione told Harry and Neville about the Cerberus.
Although John said not to tell this information, in Hermione's view, Harry and Neville were obviously not within the scope of not telling it.
Well, there's Hagrid.
"Oh, holy light, how do you know about the three-headed Lu Wei?" Hagrid's eyes widened when he heard Hermione's words.
"Huh? It seems that Hagrid, you already knew?" Hagrid's reaction was so big that he immediately aroused the suspicious gazes of the three children.
"Well, yes, it's mine - I bought it from a Greek guy I met in the hotel last year - and I lent it to Dumbledore to guard..." Hagrid said about his magical animals He was always so proud, so he spoke smoothly as soon as he opened his mouth, and almost told me about the Philosopher's Stone.
"Guarding what?" All three children looked at him curiously.
"Okay, don't ask anymore," Hagrid said rudely, "That's Secret No. 1, do you understand?"
"Oh, okay...we figured it out!" Seeing Hagrid's look, Hermione raised her eyebrows and looked at Harry.
Hagrid's reaction was so big, it seemed like there was a secret here.
I just don’t know if John knows.
Hermione thought.
"Guess what the three-headed dog is guarding?" Harry was the first to ask on the way back to school.
"No matter what it is, it has nothing to do with us. After all, John and Hagrid said it was very dangerous!" Hermione shrugged.
Although she was also curious, since John and Hagrid had already confessed, there was no need to get to the bottom of it.
"But some people seem to be curious..." However, at this time, Harry hesitated and said.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Hermione blinked and looked at Harry and asked.
Then she saw Harry take out a piece of paper.
"This is what Professor Capet asked the third-year Gryffindor students, the Weasley brothers, to give to me. It's called the Marauder's Map. It's said to be a relic of my father!" Harry introduced.
Apparently, after the exchange between John and the twins, the twins indeed found an opportunity to hand over the Marauder's Map to Harry.
"Map? But there's obviously nothing on it!" Not only Hermione, but also Neville looked at the blank paper in a daze.
"Of course, this map is very interesting. It requires a spell to appear... I solemnly swear that I have done no good things." Harry looked a little excited when he mentioned the Marauder's Map, and then immediately said to use the spell.
Then Hermione and Neville saw an ink dot begin to appear in the middle of the paper, then extend around, and finally a map of Hogwarts appeared.
It is 90% similar to the map released by the school.
The remaining 10% is marked on the map with many routes that are not found on school maps.
"Are these routes..." Hermione blinked.
"Yes, it's the secret passage. After I got the map, I asked Professor Capet. He told me that these were all the Hoggs that my father, my godfather, Lupin and that guy found during their school days. Watts' secret passage... There is no doubt that from this spell, it can be seen that my father did a lot of bad things in school at that time!" Harry shrugged.
At this time, Harry has accepted the fact that his father is a member of the school bully group and is also the leader.
There's nothing he can do if he doesn't accept it, because it's his father.
Besides, as John said to him, James Potter may have indeed done some not-so-good things when he was young, but at least in his later life-that is, in resisting Voldemort, he was There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
His youthful mistakes did not prevent him from being a hero in this matter.
There is no debt to the child Harry - after all, James Potter also died to buy Lily and Harry time to escape.
"What your father did has nothing to do with you, as long as you don't use these channels to skip school!" Hermione also said.
"Of course, but that's not the most important thing. Look at these names. Professor Capet told me that the map will show the names and locations of everyone in the school. Even an Animagus cannot escape the surveillance of the map." Ha. Lee said.
"So?" Hermione was confused.
"Because it is my father's relic, I will take it out from time to time to look at it before going to bed, and then I often see two names appearing outside the room on the fourth floor." Harry said.
"Before bed? That's after curfew? I wonder if one of the names is Snape?" Hermione asked quickly.
"Huh? How do you know?" Harry was a little surprised.
"You know, the curfew works for us, but there are no strict rules for pets...especially since Jigglypuff's nominal owner is a professor!" Hermione said with some pride.
"You actually let Jigglypuff follow the professor?" Harry and Neville's eyes widened.
In their opinion, Hermione was really brave.
"Oops, as you know, I'm learning potions from Professor Snape. I just want to get to know him better, so as not to be beaten to pieces by him every day." Hermione said with some embarrassment.
Hearing Hermione say this, Harry and Norway immediately thought of Snape's "dead face".
Especially Harry, although he learned a little bit about the reasons why the other party targeted him from John, he still could not avoid the fate of being targeted.
It's quite heartbreaking.
"So who is the other person?" Hermione asked again at this time.
"Shouldn't you be wondering why Snape paid so much attention to that room?" Harry asked.
"...Because he is guarding that room!" Hermione said directly.
"...Professor Capet said that?" Harry was stunned when he heard this, and then asked.
Hermione nodded.
Well, Snape's suspicion was immediately cleared.
That leaves one other person.
"Quirrell???"
"How could it be him?"
Hermione and Neville were both surprised when Harry said the name.
Although Professor Quirrell was a little weird and always had a strange smell about him, aside from their prejudices, they always felt that Quirrell was the kindest one among all the professors, except John.
"I wonder if you feel that Professor Capet has never liked Professor Quirrell?" At this time, Neville, who rarely spoke, suddenly said.
His words immediately made Hermione and Harry fall into deep thought.
Recall some of the details of John and Quirrell's rare appearance together.
It seems...it's true.
