Harry Potter: The Age of Magic

Chapter 5 Snape

"Of course, I'm not doubting you." Rosie's delicate face showed a sweet smile and she said in a gentle tone, "I don't think Principal Dumbledore will let a dangerous person stay in Hogwarts."

Hearing what she said, the nervous expression on Hagrid's face relaxed slightly, and then he asked with some confusion: "Then what do you mean when you mention this?"

Rossi explained: "Although I believe you and Principal Dumbledore, if I cannot complete the investigation in time and solve this secret room incident, then even if it is just out of caution, the people from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement will definitely take you into custody."

Taken away to assist in the investigation."

Hagrid opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end he sighed helplessly: "Oh, I don't know anything about the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets. The fact that the Chamber of Secrets was opened fifty years ago has nothing to do with me.

Relationship. Even if the Auror captures me and puts me in Azkaban, this chamber of secret incident will not be solved."

"There is no way to solve this secret room incident..." Rossi silently repeated his words in his mind, and then asked again: "What if after you are captured in Azkaban, the person who opened the secret room will no longer commit crimes?

?Then you are definitely taking the blame?"

Rossi's words made Hagrid become nervous again, and he danced and said: "No, no, Dumbledore will not let me be wronged. I have never opened the Chamber of Secrets!"

"Relax, this is just a hypothesis. As a detective, I will not let innocent people be wronged."

Rossi comforted the other party and looked at the approaching Hogwarts Castle. He continued with confidence: "Don't worry, I will solve this secret room incident as soon as possible!"

While she was speaking, the carriage pulled by the invisible creature had passed through the main entrance of Hogwarts Castle and stopped in the open space in the courtyard.

"Will this secret room incident be solved?" A mean and cold voice came from the side, "Just because you are a third-level trainee agent who has not yet been regularized?"

Am I... being despised?

Rossi looked around and saw a man in his thirties, who looked thin, wearing a black robe and a black cloak, standing quietly in the shadow of the wall like a bat. The proportions seemed a bit awkward.

The rather large aquiline nose made Rossi focus on his nose while noticing his facial features.

"Well, this is the Potions Professor at Hogwarts, Professor Snape." Hagrid introduced with some embarrassment, "This is the agent from the Ministry of Magic, Ms. Rossi."

"You don't need to remind me, Hagrid, I know what she does." Snape approached with a cold face, looked at Rosie from head to toe with a scrutinizing gaze, and then continued, "I thought the Ministry of Magic would

How seriously do you attach importance to this incident, only to send an intern?"

"I think whether we can find out the truth and the whole story of this incident has little to do with our identity as a trainee agent or a full agent." Seeing Snape questioning his status, Rossi raised his face and said,

Express your opinions without being humble or arrogant.

"A real case is not like your agent's entry test. There are ready-made clues like AVG scripts for you to reason and guess. Huh, with your current level, I don't think you can find any useful information.

"After saying that, Snape turned his head and glanced at Hagrid before preparing to leave.

Seeing that Snape was about to leave after sarcasm, Rossi immediately cleared his throat, used a loud voice to attract the other person's attention, and then retorted: "Can a high-level person find out the truth? Then Professor Snape can

Didn’t we fully investigate the ins and outs of this incident? Or is Professor Snape himself related to this incident?”

Hearing this, Snape paused, glanced at Rossi coldly, and said disdainfully: "I hope your ability can be compared with your verbal skills."

After that, Snape angrily walked into the interior of Hogwarts Castle.

Looking at his leaving figure, Rossi chuckled and looked at Hagrid next to him, and complained with a smile: "It seems that this professor has a bad temper."

"Professor Snape is the youngest Head of Slytherin House in history, and it is understandable that he has a bit of Slytherin arrogance in his temper." Hagrid touched his nose and explained awkwardly, "Although he has been

...Well, if Dumbledore believes in him, he must be a respectable professor."

"So the reason why you respect Snape is just because Dumbledore believes in him?" Hearing what he said, Rossi couldn't help complaining again, "You are really a qualified die-hard Dumbledore fan.

"

Then, she thought again: "The NPCs in this dungeon, their AI is really ridiculously high, even the cognition they instilled is ridiculous, they can even speak game terms like AVG."

While thinking about it, Rossi followed Hagrid into the castle and came to a corridor on the second floor of Hogwarts.

Although it was still daytime at this time, in a dark corridor, one had to rely on the flickering torches on both sides of the corridor to see clearly the surrounding environment.

"This is...?" Rossi, who felt vaguely familiar with this scene, was about to ask Hagrid for confirmation, but saw Hagrid take out a badge from his jacket pocket and hand it to Rossi: "This is Hogwart

This is a special badge of Hogwarts. You can walk freely in Hogwarts with it. You will use it if you want to investigate cases in Hogwarts."

"A pass? This is indeed a necessity."

Rossi nodded in agreement and took the badge. The front of the badge was similar to the Hogwarts school emblem. The upper and lower lines were painted with animals representing the four major houses of Hogwarts - lion, snake, badger, and eagle.

, the four magic words "Don't disturb the sleeping dragon" are engraved on the back using hollow technology.

"Quest item: Hogwarts' special badge. With it, you can enter the public areas of Hogwarts. It is only valid for this copy."

"Thank you!" After checking the badge's prompt information, Rossi put the badge in his inventory and thanked Hagrid.

"You're welcome!" Hagrid waved his hand, and then continued, "Dumbledore is doing other things right now, so it's not convenient to see you at the moment. And now the students are in class, so you'd better not make a big deal about it when you're investigating the case.

The incident is somewhat dangerous, and letting too many students know or even participate may put the children in danger."

"Understood!" His words made Rossi, who suddenly thought of some old things, say in amusement, "If some Gryffindors full of courage know that someone is investigating the Chamber of Secrets, then this case is likely to become more complicated.

complex."

"Yes, Gryffindor students are always more courageous!" Hagrid said proudly.

Hearing this, Rossi couldn't help but rolled his eyes secretly, and complained in his heart: "No matter how high the AI ​​is, it is still just an NPC, and it can't even hear the ridicule."

During her previous detective missions, she had been exposed to several incidents where the involvement of Gryffindor NPCs made the case more confusing, so she had a rather unfavorable impression of Gryffindor.

"This is where Mrs. Norris was petrified."

At this time, Hagrid pointed to a torch barrel and said, "Mrs. Norris was hung there at that time."

Immediately afterwards, he pointed to another place and continued to explain: "This place was previously written in blood: 'The secret room has been opened, enemies of the heir, beware!'"

After hearing this, Rossi immediately understood where his familiarity with this place came from: "Sure enough, this is where the plot of the secret room officially begins."

While thinking, she suddenly remembered something and asked: "If I remember correctly, Mrs. Norris is a cat, right?"
