Harry's Discovery (Going on Sale on the 29th)

After leaving Snape's office, Sean went to Newt's place and, after happily tending to the Magical Creatures for a while, headed toward the Great Hall.

"Professor Scamander's stuff is all for Magical Creatures..." Sean, who was starving, quickened his pace. Although Professor Scamander said that wizards could eat some of the things Magical Creatures eat, and even demonstrated it himself, Sean still politely declined the offer.

After all, not everyone has the courage to put a still-wriggling, unknown worm into their mouth.

As Sean approached the Great Hall entrance, he saw the Gryffindor trio, who seemed to have just returned from outside, muttering to themselves as they walked.

Sean stepped forward to greet them, and Harry and his two companions immediately came over.

"Sean, you're back from Snape's?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, after spending the whole day picking out Flobberworm, I bet you don't want to try it." Sean sighed helplessly.

"Is Snape always in his office?" Harry asked quickly.

Seeing the other person's anxious expression, Sean nodded in confusion. "Yes, he kept looking at me and occasionally made a sarcastic remark."

The trio exchanged glances, all seeing the confusion in each other's eyes. Sean also wondered what these people were doing.

Where did you all go?

Harry looked around, pulled Sean aside to a quiet corner, and whispered quickly, "We just saw Snape outside!"

"Snape? When?"

"Just now, as we were crossing the covered bridge, we saw Snape coming out of the Forbidden Forest. I'm absolutely certain I didn't mistake him for someone else," Harry said confidently.

Sean rubbed his still-growing stomach. Judging from the time he left, Snape had plenty of time to get to the Forbidden Forest; he had stayed with Professor Scamander for quite a while.

He thought for a moment, "I didn't just come back from there, so Snape has plenty of time to go to the Forbidden Forest to do whatever he wants."

"But there's something wrong with Snape!" Harry said with absolute certainty, as if he had some information.

Why do you say that?

"Well, actually I have something that my dad gave me," Harry looked around and spoke quickly, "It's an Invisibility Cloak."

"Invisibility Cloak?" Although he already knew, Sean still widened his eyes in agreement.

Harry nodded. "After you told us about Nicolas Flamel last time, I was thinking of looking up information about the Philosopher's Stone."

"And then you sneaked into the Restricted Section of the library?" Sean immediately guessed what Harry was going to say.

"Yes," Harry adjusted his glasses sheepishly, "And then I ran into Snape while I was searching through the Restricted Section!"

"Snape? In the Restricted Section?" Sean asked, puzzled.

"That's right, he almost caught me. After he left, I saw that Snape had also been looking up information about the Philosopher's Stone!"

Snape is looking up information about the Philosopher's Stone? Sean rested his chin on his hand. What is he looking for? Is he helping Riddle gather information? After all, the restricted section of Hogwarts ' Restricted Section of the Library is most likely not open to Professor Newmontgard.

No, Harry must have sneaked in at midnight. As a professor at Hogwarts, Snape had the right to access the Restricted Section, so he had no reason to go to the library at midnight.

Sean narrowed his eyes slightly. Could it be that Riddle was impersonating Snape?

It's very possible! If he's discovered, Riddle can simply impersonate Snape and there won't be any problem. And whether Snape is loyal to Dumbledore or Grindelwald, he'll still be a Death Eaters on the surface, so he naturally won't expose him.

But Dumbledore have known all this, so why did he let Riddle gather information? Was it to lure Riddle into a trap?

This is what Sean has always been wondering about: if Dumbledore has already confirmed that Riddle is Voldemort, then why doesn't he join forces with Grindelwald to get rid of him?

Or is there something Riddle wants about him, something he needs to trick him into?

Wow, those old men really have a lot on their minds...

Harry, believing he had discovered a great secret, continued, "And Riddle, he might also be eyeing the Philosopher's Stone!"

How did you know?

"Reasoning!"

"...", Sean.

How could this be deduced? And the result is actually correct?

Harry was a little excited. "Sean, think about it, Snape and Riddle entered Hogwarts at the same time, they could very well be one of the masterminds and the other the mole."

You guessed right, but Snape, the traitor, wasn't loyal to Voldemort...

Sean shrugged. "That makes a lot of sense. You should go tell Professor Dumbledore."

"We can't get in touch with him..." Harry suddenly became frustrated.

"Hey guys, I think Professor Dumbledore knows everything that's going on inside the castle, so you don't need to worry so much," Sean reassured him.

He worried that Harry would become reckless after acquiring the Invisibility Cloak.

Wait a minute... could this be part of Dumbledore's plan again? Like training Harry or something.

Sean hadn't forgotten that when he was in Newmontgard Castle, he saw a parchment in Grindelwald's office with Harry and Neville's names written on it.

Harry just nodded, but judging from his expression, he probably didn't listen.

Sean could only say he was powerless to help, which is probably a characteristic of Gryffindor.

The starting point was good, but the process was somewhat reckless and driven by individual heroism.

After saying goodbye to the trio who were still excited, Sean went to the Great Hall, where Hermione was already sitting at the long table.

"I didn't see you at noon. Didn't Snape let you have lunch?" Hermione asked, frowning as soon as she saw him.

"Obviously, to be precise, he didn't have lunch either." Sean sat down next to Hermione, waiting for dinner to arrive.

Hermione slammed her book shut and said angrily, "I'm going to tell Professor Flitwick! Confinement is unreasonable to begin with, and they won't even let you have lunch!"

"Never mind, Professor Flitwick probably can't handle this anyway, and I've realized something."

"You're just too easygoing!" Hermione wasn't too happy with Sean's nonchalant attitude either. "And then, what did you realize?"

Finally, a sumptuous dinner appeared on the plate. Sean quickly took some and put it on his plate. He picked up his knife and fork and winked at Hermione: "This is a conclusion I came to from observing Snape. If you don't eat on time, your endocrine system will be out of balance, and then your face will be oily."

Hermione: "..."

She suddenly didn't want to talk to Sean anymore.
