The story started not too long ago.
Not long ago, when Chown finished his plan, more than half a day had already passed. This was thanks to the fact that he had taken a short break in the morning, which wasted some time. Hence, by the end of the Quidditch competition, he had almost completed the entire plan.
But this wasn't enough. After finishing up in the house, he prepared to have dinner.
Then, he met the house Elf, Rockael, who had just appeared in front of his house.
This Elf was using a quill and parchment to record Harry Potter's inner thoughts. After Harry Potter hid in the Forbidden Forest, he couldn't continue to track him.
It wasn't because he was afraid of being discovered by Harry Potter, but because he was afraid of being discovered by the Professor who was talking in the Forbidden Forest.
Snape naturally didn't have to worry. All the Elves who participated in Harry Potter's daily recording knew that Snape was actually someone who protected Harry Potter and was on the same side as them.
They had to be wary of Quirrell because they didn't know if the Professor could sense the presence of nearby Elves. Thus, they didn't dare to get too close.
Coincidentally, at this moment, he met Jon who had just come out.
The Elf had a different presence from the Wizard, so Quirrell might discover him. But Jon was a Wizard, so he didn't have such concerns.
Moreover, in the Forbidden Forest, he had a force field that was reinforced by the training field barrier, so he could observe the situation around him.
After sharing this authority with the Elf, Jon also started to observe.
Snape's way of doing things was worth pondering over. Because he kept interrupting Quirrell's words, Chown reckoned that Harry Potter's bad impression of Snape had deepened once again in Harry Potter's heart.
"I don't care whether he has a good impression of me or not. Protecting him is a mission that Dumbledore gave me."
"It's best if it's just a mission."
Jon couldn't be bothered to continue arguing with this man who didn't mean what he said. Just now, he let Kane shout because he was worried that Harry Potter, who was hanging on the tree, would really fall and cause an irreparable situation. "Actually, I was listening in on your conversation just now. I have to say, the way you speak is really annoying."
"Really? I thought Harry Potter was the only one who hated talking to me. "
"No, no, no, you don't have to be so modest." Jon swallowed the fries in his mouth and drank a mouthful of tea to moisten his throat. "In the entire school, apart from a few Slythrin students, there's almost no one who doesn't hate the way you speak. How should I put it? It just feels weird."
Of course, Snape did not speak in a sarcastic manner. It was just that his tone was always sarcastic, making others feel as if he was blaming the heavens and blaming others, which was very good at ruining other people's good moods.
But there was no way to avoid this. He had developed a habit of speaking like this for so many years. As long as one knew a little about him, they would know that he was not a particularly harsh person.
Facing Harry Potter was a special case and could not be generalized.
"Furthermore, take what you said just now as an example. You frequently interrupted Quirrell when he was about to open his mouth to speak. If it were me, without knowing the reason, I would also feel that you have a guilty conscience and that you were bullying the weak."
Jon explained to Snape. But in fact, he did not need to explain, because Snape would definitely understand these words.
"I understand what you said. But even if I did not speak like that, I'm afraid that between Quirrell and me, no one would feel that Quirrell was the stronger one."
Snape sighed, clearly feeling very helpless.
This was the benefit of Quirrell's disguise.
"You can't say that. You are obviously too strict normally, causing the students to think that you are very difficult to get along with. Especially when facing Harry, you more or less added in some personal grudges. It's very difficult for people not to misunderstand."
Jon actually really liked talking to Snape, because he could speak more frankly with Snape. He did not have to act fearlessly like he did with Dumbledore, and also carefully prepare his words at the same time.
To be able to repeatedly test the boundaries of what Dumbledore could not accept, this was also Jon's ability.
"I guess that Harry should have already returned to Gryffindor's celebration ceremony, and is telling his friends that you are not good." Jon said calmly, "Oh yes, during the competition before Christmas, when you helped Harry to resist Quirrell's magic, Miss Hermione Granger thought that you were the one who played dirty tricks on Harry. So now the three of them are starting to hate you."
Snape was silent. He stuffed a piece of roasted chicken into his mouth and chewed for a while.
"I had already expected this. I never thought that girl would have a good impression of me."
"She wasn't so bad in the past. At least in the information I received, that girl even spoke up for you."
Snape nodded. "That's normal. Gryffindor girls are always kinder than those guys."
Is that so?
Jon did not intend to expose Snape, because the latter was obviously thinking of a certain girl. He would not be the bad guy in such a heartwarming scene.
So the two of them ate in silence for a while.
"You didn't call me over just to tell me this, right?"
After finishing this simple dinner, Snape wiped his mouth and asked.
Although he knew that it was important that Harry overheard his conversation with Quirrell, it was not so important that Jon had to tell him immediately.
So Jon must have something else to ask him.
He guessed right.
Jon opened his mouth. He wanted to ask about the Dragon Soul Crypt directly, but when the words reached his mouth, he did not ask.
Snape might not know about this kind of thing, and if he said more, considering that Snape would need to be a double agent in the future, it would most likely cause more trouble for Dumbledore.
So he directly changed the topic to Dumbledore.
"How's the principal's mood recently?"
"Principal? Dumbledore's mood has been good recently. He even specially went to watch the competition today, although it is very likely that he wanted to talk to Potter about the magic mirror. "
Magic mirror?
Jon was stunned for a moment, then reacted. Snape should be talking about the Eris Magic Mirror.
This mirror that stored the Magical Stone should have been moved into the Guardian Area, right?
But Jon did not dwell on this question. "Professor, can you help me ask when Dumbledore is free recently? I want to visit him."
