Chapter 267, Section 266: Snape and Kakashi
Night fell like thick ink, enveloping Hogwarts Castle. Only a few scattered lights peeked from the tower windows, their glow appearing faint and thin in the darkness. In the distance, the hoarse cawing of crows broke the silence, startling a rustling of dry branches, as if foreshadowing the impending doom for the three young wizards.
"What are you three doing here?!"
A cold and angry voice came from the darkness.
Hermione, Neville, and Ron froze, a chill running down their spines from the angry roar behind them. They whirled around to see Professor Snape emerge from the shadows like a giant bat. His black robes billowed as he approached like a moving shadow, the Slytherin Headmaster's face grim and terrifying.
His face was contorted with anger, and his eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
"It's Professor Snape!"
Hermione's face glowed a pale white in the moonlight as she nervously twisted her scarf. Neville's fingers completely covered his face, while Ron's Adam's apple bobbed up and down with each swallow.
My mind went completely blank.
Sometimes people make some foolish judgments.
This is not.
"Damn it! Run!"
Ron's first thought was that he couldn't be caught. Everyone knew that Slytherin and Gryffindor were at odds, a conflict that had lasted for nearly a thousand years.
Therefore, we can conclude that...
Three Gryffindor students who were out at night were caught by the Headmaster of Slytherin House. Even a pig could tell that they were in for a bad end and would be punished by the wolves.
He might even become the laughingstock of the entire Hogwarts—although Ron had already made enough of a fool of himself during the school year, he still didn't want to be stripped naked and hung in the Great Hall.
Ok.
This was a scare tactic used by the Weasley twins to frighten their younger brother. Ron didn't believe it at first, but after meeting the Slytherin headmaster a few times, he began to believe it wholeheartedly.
can only say.
Ron doesn't believe what he should believe, and he blindly believes what he shouldn't believe—perhaps this is Ron's contradiction. Of course, he's just a child after all.
It is understandable that they cannot make reasonable judgments.
after all.
Just like many children are scared by their parents when they are young, saying that if they don't behave, they will be sent to an orphanage or given away to someone else. Most children don't think about the rationale behind this.
Ron was in the same situation.
He didn't consider that being stripped naked and hung in the Great Hall was a punishment that parents would never agree to, nor did he consider that the Ministry of Magic would certainly not allow Hogwarts to do such a thing.
Anyway, it's scary enough.
He was terrified.
In reality, while Hogwarts may have used similar punishments during its most severe periods of discipline, it has been a very long time since any instance of Hogwarts resorting to harmful punishments. This is indeed documented in the book "Hogwarts: A History of the School."
Wizards are human too.
It is also a gathering place of civilization.
Of course, they also continuously improve their level of civilization as times change. Perhaps wizards have stagnated in some aspects for a long time, but at least in becoming more civilized, Hogwarts has not lagged behind Muggle humans.
It's even more advanced than some other technologies.
In this day and age.
While Muggle society still harbors some prejudice against certain forms of special love, the wizarding world is decades ahead of the Muggle world in terms of tolerance for such matters.
not only that.
Even America, decades later, would have to admit defeat in this respect to the wizarding world, acknowledging its advanced nature.
Because in the Wizarding World, it is truly possible for men to transform into women and vice versa—judging from Snape's previous research on potions, such potions may have already existed many years ago.
Even in the wizarding world, it's possible to have a gender like a "Walmart shopping bag," and there's more than one gender. Wizards are exceptionally advanced in places where they shouldn't be.
"Run!"
Ron immediately took a step.
however.
He noticed that his two friends seemed to be frozen in fear and didn't move.
"Don't stand still! We'll be in big trouble if Professor Snape catches us!" Ron shouted anxiously, grabbing Hermione and Neville's arms and running away.
The two people who had been pulled into a run came to their senses and desperately took steps forward.
Ron finally said something right today.
If those three were caught by Snape, they would be in deep trouble. It had only been a short time since the start of the school year, and many Gryffindor students and upperclassmen had already proven this to them.
"Whoosh whoosh~"
The three of them were panting heavily, their footsteps appearing particularly frantic in the night, their breathing becoming increasingly rapid—they were definitely running at their fastest speed ever. However, this was an open area outside the castle, and they couldn't fly; how could they possibly escape Snape's watchful eye in the blink of an eye?
"What a bunch of idiots!" Snape cursed, a flash of anger in his eyes. He waved his wand, and a beam of red light shot towards the three of them, instantly freezing them in place.
The three felt their bodies stiffen like stone, unable to move no matter how much they struggled. Ron and Neville screamed in terror, while Hermione, despite her fear, was still filled with curiosity.
"This isn't a petrification spell! What kind of magic is this?" This was absolutely the purest desire for magical knowledge. She felt that Snape's magic was very different from the petrification spell she knew.
Well, how should I put it?
This was beyond the scope of her knowledge—which is actually quite reasonable, considering that Snape was, after all, a half-blood prince, a genius who could create the legendary "Sword of Despair" even in his student days.
It can be said.
If Dumbledore and Grindelwald belong to the first tier of wizards, then Snape is definitely second only to them, one of the most talented wizards of this era, not just in potions.
Even in the realm of magic, his talent is exceptional, though perhaps not as great as Riddle's.
And there's definitely not much difference.
Riddle was very talented, but not to the extent that many Voldemort fans believed, which is actually why Dumbledore didn't pay much attention to him in his early years.
No one could have imagined that Riddle would be ruthless not only to others but also to himself, forcibly using up his potential through the study of dark magic.
Did he become the infamous Voldemort?
If only Snape were as ruthless as Riddle.
He's probably not much worse than Voldemort.
To know.
To create an unsolvable spell like Divine Sharpness Without Shadow, and then to possess the talent to create counter-spells—just how impressive is that?
It's fair to say that if Snape hadn't encountered those later events and hadn't fallen into despair, but instead continued to delve into the field of magic, he could have definitely become a master of both potions and magic, leaving his mark on history.
of course.
Snape is just as good now; that's the irrationality of talent. Even after suffering a major setback, their strength far surpasses that of most mediocre people.
Even now, few in the wizarding world can confidently say they can defeat Snape. This is precisely why Voldemort, in his original timeline, took him so seriously.
It can be said.
Ian's good uncle.
He can be seen as Kakashi from the magical world.
"We're doomed!"
Ron let out a desperate scream.
Neville was so frightened that his eyes rolled upwards.
They were in a state of near-fainting, but not yet quite faint. Snape slowly approached, his cold gaze sweeping over the three young wizards who were out at night.
"If you run again, the outcome won't be the same as this." Snape gave a stern warning, then waved his wand, canceling the immobilization spell he had cast.
This could be his own magic, or it could be a modified petrification spell. But whatever it is, the three young wizards present wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
"Splat~"
All three of them plopped down on the ground.
"Look what I've found!" Snape's voice, like the spitting of a viper, seeped from the shadows as the hem of his black robe swept across the gravel path, raising a fine mist of dust.
The man was carrying a kerosene lamp.
The dim, yellowish light outlined the contours of his hooked nose.
The shadows in the eye sockets were deep and unfathomable.
It looks incredibly frightening.
"Three little mice who don't take school rules seriously are wandering around outside the castle in the middle of the night. Do you think school rules are nothing more than boring scribbles on parchment?"
"So this is the kind of audacity that Gryffindor possesses?" Snape's voice slithered down the spines of the three like a venomous snake, its sharp and sarcastic tone extremely pronounced.
Every word he uttered.
It was as if a sharp blade was hanging over the heads of the three of them.
No, no.
Ron crawled back half a meter, only to bump into the cold stone wall. Hermione and Neville both lowered their heads, not daring to argue, nor did they have the confidence to argue with Snape at this moment.
after all.
They did do something they shouldn't have done, and they got caught. According to the upperclassmen, this is a disgrace to Gryffindor, so it's normal for them to be reprimanded no matter what.
Professor McGonagall will also discipline them.
He just probably won't be as sarcastic as Snape.
"No? Still trying to deny it?" Snape glared at Ron, then slowly walked around to the three of them, his black robes billowing as if they were alive, making him look terrifying.
"Perhaps you thoroughly enjoy this thrill of breaking the rules? Does it make you feel like you have rights that others don't?" Snape looked down at the three people sitting on the ground.
That expressionless gaze sent chills down the spines of all three of them.
Ron's Adam's apple bobbed, and he forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace. "Professor, we...we're helping Neville find his lost toad. Pets are wizards' companions, you know, we can't abandon our friends—and I don't think Hogwarts would want us to ignore our friends' troubles."
This is clearly an attempt to morally blackmail someone.
However, I am not yet familiar with the business.
So he seemed somewhat guilty, and his voice grew weaker and weaker as he spoke. There was no way around it; under Snape's gaze, which seemed to see right through him, even Ron himself found the excuse utterly absurd.
"Ha, helping your partner find his pet? Should I praise you a bit?" Snape walked around the three of them, his long black robes trailing on the ground with a rustling sound.
Like the footsteps of death.
It kept striking the hearts of the three young wizards.
It terrified them.
My mind unconsciously started circling around Snape—Snape's expression was icy, his wand casually resting in his palm.
A few black lines flashed across the tip of the staff from time to time.
It was so obvious that they were deliberately putting psychological pressure on the three of them. Neville felt his knees trembling, Hermione bit her lip tightly, and Ron's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.
It slid down her cheek and into her collar.
He was a man with a truly rich imagination, and now he couldn't help but think of his older brothers, and even his parents', evaluations of the headmaster of Slytherin House.
An extremely evil person.
Moreover, he was once a staunch supporter of the mysterious man.
He's definitely a dark wizard.
Although Ron couldn't understand why a dark wizard could teach at a school like Hogwarts and even become the head of the house,
However, this did not stop him from worrying that the three of them would be killed to silence them.
In the stories he heard when he was a child.
Dark wizards are people who enjoy killing at the drop of a hat.
The Head of Slytherin House is also a dark wizard, and the Head of Slytherin House is the cradle of dark wizards. Perhaps he is more fond of killing than ordinary dark wizards?
"Mother!"
Ron found it increasingly terrifying.
His face was deathly pale.
My teeth started chattering.
His eyes were fixed on Snape, who kept circling around the three of them. Beads of sweat dripped from his body, and his face grew paler and paler, as if he felt he was about to be killed at any moment.
In comparison, he...
Neville and Hermione didn't think that much about it. Although they were quite frightened and their faces were pale, they weren't worried that Snape would turn them from little wizards into dead children.
Hermione was only known to Snape as a difficult and ruthless professor. In reality, during Potions class, Snape would give her extra points for her excellent performance, though he would not praise her in the slightest.
and so.
Regarding Snape.
Hermione was simply afraid.
More than just fear of other professors.
of course.
Ron did say a lot of bad things about Snape.
however.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry gave Hermione a sense of security and order. Most of the teachers were regarded as respectable and trustworthy by the students, and since Snape was one of them, Hermione naturally wouldn't readily believe Ron's words without clear evidence of his wrongdoing.
It seems so.
As friends.
Hermione knew Ron was prone to exaggeration. As for Neville, although he knew Snape had been a Death Eater, his entire family were loyal followers of Albus Dumbledore.
Since Dumbledore trusted this man and was willing to let him teach at the school, he believed that even if this man was a bad guy, Snape wouldn't dare to cause trouble at Hogwarts.
"Oh."
Snape seemed to sense the difference in the three people's attitudes towards him. His gaze swept over the three of them, but finally landed on Ron, whose eyes were filled with fear.
obviously.
This person is going to be in serious trouble.
