Hogwarts Asylum
113. Always thinking about the past proves that you are old.
In the classroom, Snape waited quietly for Dumbledore to give him a satisfactory answer.
Snape actually understood the conversation between Eurolin and Dumbledore, because he had some doubts about Quirrell before. After all, Quirrell's performance this semester was very different from when he was still a Muggle Studies professor. For this reason, he even secretly followed Quirrell, but Quirrell was too vigilant and ran away.
However, Quirrell's problem does not mean that Oralin will be innocent. Snape knows the danger of Oralin better than anyone else.
Therefore, the reason why Dumbledore acquiesced in Orolin's innocence must be because there was some kind of ulterior secret agreement between him and Orolin.
In order to find out this secret, Snape would question it in the presence of so many professors. Otherwise, if he asked in private, Dumbledore would definitely say some nonsense to fool him.
"Severus..." Dumbledore shook his head at Snape, as if to signal him not to ask any more questions.
But Snape not only failed to restrain himself, but pressed forward step by step.
"Don't try to hide it, Dumbledore, you promised..." Snape paused before continuing, "There is danger in the school now, and the biggest suspect is that guy, but you only listened to what he said You believe a few lies?"
O'Loughlin was unmoved by Snape's words and continued to observe the classroom.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom is located on the third floor. In theory, in addition to the door leading to the corridor, there are two exits.
One is the windows, but in order to prevent the little wizard from jumping off the building to play, the windows are equipped with railings, and they also have anti-curse effects. In other words, unless you are a master of human body deformation, it will be difficult to leave through the windows.
The other exit was the back door that Olorin had neglected before. This back door led to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office on the second floor.
Olorin looked at the small door next to him that was full of traces of time and thought.
Theoretically, anyone could come to this classroom from the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office, kill Quirrell, and then leave the same way with Quirrell's body.
However, Oluolin is more inclined to think that Quirrell ran away on his own, because there were no traces of a fight in the classroom. Although it may have been cleaned up, it would be difficult for ordinary people to kill Quirrell quietly no matter how much he was defeated. Him, not to mention there is an "old grandfather" in him.
But Quirrell was lurking well, so why did he run away?Even if he ran away, why would he leave such a strange message?
Furthermore, O'Loughlin was certain that Quirrell was not capable of cracking the alchemical lock he had installed outside from inside the classroom. Voldemort, who only knew how to destroy, was also not good at "creative" subjects like alchemy, so if Quirrell had used it through the back door He ran away, so who opened the front door for Filch to find?
Although Filch has a little secret, as a "squib" who cannot use magical power, it is impossible for him to open the door without damage.
Oralin looked at Dumbledore not far away, but he immediately ruled out Dumbledore as a suspect. Although Dumbledore had the ability to break Oralin's alchemical lock, he would not let Filch go crazy. He ran to the auditorium to report the news and then fainted.
So will it be Snape who opens the door?
It is indeed possible. Snape is an undoubted genius. This guy may have been influenced by Orolin and secretly mastered alchemy. Moreover, as a potions master, Snape actually does not like potions class at all. The reason why he studied potions was entirely because Lily was also very talented in this area.
Snape actually preferred to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts and had been applying to Dumbledore for a transfer, but Dumbledore did not agree.
So when Snape left the meeting early, he might have been preparing to secretly kill Quirrell so that he could complete the job transfer while Dumbledore couldn't find anyone to attend the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. However, due to Quirrell's disappearance, Filch Just when he patrolled nearby, he ran away before he could restore the scene.
It was a very reasonable reasoning, and Oluolin wanted to give himself a thumbs up.
"Professor McGonagall," O'Loughlin looked around the classroom, "can you confirm who opened this door?"
"It was already open when I arrived here." Professor McGonagall replied with a straight face, meaning she didn't know.
"Really?" Orolin touched his chin, "Severus, where did you go after you left the table?"
When Snape heard this, he glanced at Orolin from the corner of his eye expressionlessly: "You suspect it's me?"
"Don't use such ugly words. I'm doing elimination. Besides, aren't you also doubting me?" Orolin said with a smile, "It's a little offensive to say it, but the entire Hogwarts is capable of deciphering me." There are not many people who have left alchemical locks behind, and you may be one of them."
"Clear yourself first, you lunatic."
"What do I have to do to clear myself up?" Orolin shrugged. "If it were me, I wouldn't leave such a boring message to everyone. Although it's really fun to do this, I wouldn't be stupid enough to show up at the scene. Leave any evidence that can point to me, after all, I never failed when I was in school, let alone now."
"So you admit that you broke the legs of those 166 people?"
"Once a person starts to like to recall the past, it proves that he is old. Severus, although you look 50 or [-] years old, you are really still young. Don't always hold on to the past." Orolin He teased, "But I can admit two of them. After all, when I broke the legs of Potter and Black, you were hanging on the tree nearby, and many people saw it."
"You..." Snape's veins popped out, but he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. After taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down again.
"Okay, professors." Dumbledore's old voice sounded, "Let's get here first tonight. Everyone has seen what needs to be seen. If you have any ideas, you can come to the principal's office to communicate with me.
Michael, could you please ask Ekaterina to come to my office for a while? "
"Of course, the password is still the same as in the morning?" Olorin replied with a smile.
"Yes, I may have to ask her to replace the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for a while. I hope she won't blame me as an old man." Dumbledore smiled bitterly.
"No, I don't think a foreign witch is enough to hold such an important position." Snape said, "Especially since she also has an unclear relationship with a certain suspect. Who knows if she was captured by someone with evil intentions?" What tasks did the guy give me?"
"Why, do you want to say that you are the right person to teach this course?" Oluolin smiled.
