"What a magical power!" In John's office, he saw that the hideous wound on his leg was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although this was not the first time he had seen such a scene, Snape couldn't help but do it again. Marvel.
Why do you say it is again?
This brings us back to the rat in Azkaban... If it hadn't been for John's healing skills that day, the Ministry of Magic might not have recognized his original appearance at all when they came.
"Okay, you are better at replenishing blood than me, so I won't say anything more. However, you were indeed careless. As a guard, you were bitten by a dog who was also a guard. If you tell me, you will laugh to death!" John joked with a smile.
It was also because of that mouse that John and Snape established a fairly good friendship, so much so that today John not only calls Snape by his name, but even dares to make fun of Snape.
Regarding this situation, Snape actually refused in his heart.
But there was no way, John was thick-skinned, and Snape owed him a favor, so he could only endure it.
"Damn it, how could I stare at that guy's three heads at the same time!" Snape said angrily.
"...Why don't you just let him fall asleep?" John said with a smile.
"To put it lightly, that guy's resistance to magic is comparable to that of a dragon, and the sleeping spell has no effect on it at all..." Snape snorted coldly.
"...So you don't know that a little music can make it fall asleep?" Hearing Snape say this, John couldn't help but be silent for a few seconds, and then asked.
John's words instantly caused the office to fall into silence.
"Just a little bit of music can make that beast fall asleep? How do you know? Did Hagrid tell you?" After a long time, Snape asked through gritted teeth.
"No, Hagrid didn't tell me...but haven't you heard of the myth of Cerberus?" John asked.
"...Cerberus? What is that?" Snape looked confused.
"In ancient Greek mythology, Cerberus is the gate guarding the underworld. Cerberus allows the souls of every dead person to enter the underworld, but does not let anyone out, and does not allow the living to enter or leave. The hero Orpheus In order to bring his dead wife Eurydice back from the underworld, he entered the underworld, played the beautiful lyre with which he was good at, and made Cerberus fall asleep, so he was able to get out of the underworld...haven't you heard of it?" John? Somewhat unexpectedly, in his previous life, he was quite interested in Greek mythology, so when he saw Hagrid mentioning the weakness of the three-headed dog of hell in the plot, he immediately thought that the author used the setting of the three-headed dog in Greek mythology.
When he was in the church, he also read many legends and records about the three-headed dog of hell in many classics of Greek mythology.
Therefore, some people subconsciously believe that the legend of the three-headed hell dog should be a story known to all ages in Europe.
But judging from Snape's expression, it was obvious that this was not the case - or that it was not the case in the wizarding world.
It seems that the disconnect between the magical world and the ordinary world is not just about technology...
Of course, this may also be John's own problem, such as survivor bias?
"...Muggle mythology?" Snape was silent for a few seconds and then asked.
"Yeah..." John shrugged.
"Do Muggles basically know that?" Snape asked again to confirm.
"That's not necessarily...but anyone who is even remotely interested in Greek mythology should know...about 23 out of 10?" John hesitated and gave a ratio that he thought was not very high.
"Damn it, that guy Hagrid actually let a beast with such an obvious weakness become a demon... guard there, this is dereliction of duty! I must tell Dumbledore!" Snape scolded in a low voice, even because of his excitement , almost pronounced the words for the Philosopher's Stone.
John really wanted to say, Philosopher's Stone... I know.
However, in order to prevent Snape from becoming more excited, he did not say it after all. Instead, he changed his words and said, "No, no, after all, this story may only be popular in the Muggle world, and few people in the wizarding world know about it. You You don’t know it just by looking at it...and do you think it’s possible that Dumbledore doesn’t know the weakness of the three-headed dog?”
But as soon as he said these words, Snape's face turned even darker.
What do you mean? Do you think I am ignorant?
How come a good person has a mouth?
"I'm almost healed, so I won't delay your work! And don't you need to comfort those children?" Snape snorted coldly, stood up and walked towards the door.
"Look, you still care about Harry very much. Lily will definitely be very happy if she knows..." John felt something was wrong as soon as he said the words. It seemed that he had stepped on someone's red line. He had already seen it with his sharp eyes. Seeing that Snape was taking out his wand, he quickly waved his hand and the office door closed instantly.
Looking at the closed office door, Snape gripped the wand in his robes bitterly, so hard that his knuckles turned blue.
After a long time, he took a long breath and relaxed.
The moment John mentioned Lily, he did have the urge to fight her to the death.
Dare to joke about his lost Bai Yueguang, it is simply "already have a way to die".
Only after calming down, he understood that this might be John reminding him not to extend the grudges of the previous generation to Harry, the child.
Thinking of this, Snape's mind immediately flashed to Lily's gentle face and her eyes that seemed to be able to speak, and a hint of tenderness flashed across his face.
Yes, maybe it’s time to let it go.
But as soon as this thought came to his mind, he remembered James Potter's annoying face again.
So...give it up!
——However, what Snape didn't know was that whether he let it go or not was purely based on his own imagination.
John didn't have such complicated thoughts at all. Just now he was just talking nonsense. Just now he was really afraid that Snape would tear down his office.
Of course, it's not that John is really afraid of Snape, it's just that we are all colleagues, and Hermione is also his potions apprentice, so it's not good to make it too ugly after all.
So after Snape left for a long time, John quietly opened the door of the office. After confirming that Snape had really left, he walked out of the office and walked towards the school hospital.
Start thinking about how to mention the Holy Light to Cedric.
Today, John had been watching the battle between the children and the troll. If anything went wrong, he would take action as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Harry and Neville's performance exceeded his expectations and was simply perfect, so they didn't show up.
The performance of Harry and Neville today must have left a deep impression on Cedric. When he proposed to teach the other party about the Holy Light at this time, John could not think of any reason why the other party would refuse.
No, John didn't even need to mention it, maybe Cedric himself would beg to learn.
What a perfect day!
