Chapter 55: Suspicion!

The fact that Quirrell was blown away by the alchemical bomb did not affect the progress of the Quidditch game. It was a serious matter for the Hogwarts professor to be attacked openly, but it was not enough for the wizards to interrupt a Quidditch game in progress.

In the teacher's seat, Professor Snape stopped chanting the counter-spell. He kept scanning the surroundings to check for any possible crisis.

In Professor Snape's view, the explosion of the alchemical bomb was a long-planned attack. Although the target of the attack was not a good thing, this attack without any clues was a great threat to Hogwarts. After all, Quirrell was attacked today, and any professor or student could be attacked tomorrow!

Professor Snape's eyes were full of vigilance. He even left the teacher's seat and kept patrolling in the stands to perform the duties of a professor.

In the Gryffindor camp, Hermione looked at Irina in disbelief: "Are you crazy? You actually attacked the professor with an explosive spell?! And, it was Professor Snape who was chanting the evil spell, why did you attack Professor Quirrell?!"

Hermione did not see clearly what happened in the teacher's seat, but she thought of Irina's actions and the coincidence of the explosion, so she had to think that all this was done by Irina.

Irina blinked her big ice-blue eyes innocently: "Hermione, this is not my doing. When I just got there, Quirrell exploded! I was shocked!"

As she said this, Irina felt wronged.

Hermione also realized that she had misunderstood Irina, she quickly hugged Irina and apologized repeatedly.

On the Quidditch field, the restored control of the Nimbus 2000 was manipulated by Harry to dive towards the ground, and he almost fell to the ground.

People saw Harry covering his mouth with his hands, as if he was going to vomit.

Harry crolled on all fours like a dog, coughed hard, and a golden snitch appeared in his palm.

"I caught the golden snitch!"

Harry raised the golden snitch high and waved it vigorously.

Eh~ I don't know if this golden snitch will be used in the future...

Irina subconsciously turned her head away. This is really an imported product!

Just like that, the Quidditch game ended in chaos.

Even after twenty minutes, Flint, the captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team, was still roaring indignantly: "He didn't catch the golden snitch, he almost swallowed it!"

In Flint's opinion, how could a seeker catch the golden snitch with his mouth? !

However, Flint's protest did not change the final result. After all, Harry's behavior did not violate any regulations.

Amid the cheers of Gryffindor, commentator Lee Jordan announced that Gryffindor won by 170 points to 60 points, which brought the atmosphere to the extreme.

Some were happy and some were sad. While the little lions were cheering and celebrating, the little snakes were very frustrated.

But all this had nothing to do with Lynn. After Quirrell exploded as he had imagined, he got up and left the scene, returning to Hogwarts Castle to prepare for the matter of refining the forbidden magic fire.

It was a rare leisure time without interruption, so Lynn naturally wanted to make use of it.

Outside Hogwarts Castle, Hagrid's hut.

Irina, Hermione, Ron and Harry, who had finished the game, came to Hagrid's hut together. The owner of the hut, Rubeus Hagrid, was making a cup of strong tea for Harry.

"It must have been Snape!" Ron said to Harry and Hagrid, "We all saw it. He was casting a spell on your broomstick, mumbling something, and staring at you! Fortunately, Professor Quirrell cast a counter-spell for you, otherwise you would be in danger, Harry!"

Harry was a little surprised: "What? But I saw Quirrell being blown away..."

Ron swore: "It must have been Snape. After he found out that Professor Quirrell was casting a counter-spell for you and hindering him, he tried to kill Quirrell! Fortunately, Professor McGonagall was here, otherwise Professor Quirrell would have left us forever!"

Irina covered her face, and Snape had another blame!

Hagrid didn't believe him: "Nonsense! How could Snape do such a thing? He couldn't attack his colleagues and his students!"

Ron was anxious: "What I said is absolutely true! If what I said is one point false, then let me eat chocolate and eat love potion!"

Irina looked at him sympathetically. She felt that when she looked at Harry and Ron, it was as if she was watching Farewell My Concubine on the stage.

Irina quickly pulled the anxious Ron. After exchanging a look with Hermione, she decided that Hermione would explain.

Hermione said to Hagrid: "Hagrid, we found out something about Professor Snape. On Halloween, he seemed to want to pass through the three-headed dog, and the three-headed dog bit him. We think he wanted to steal what the three-headed dog was guarding!"

Irina continued: "Of course, it is not ruled out that Professor Snape was just on routine patrol and was attacked when passing by there, or was accidentally attacked by the three-headed dog while chasing the criminals."

Harry and Ron looked at Irina in surprise.

Why are you still making excuses for Snape? !

"Please, Professor Dumbledore said that no one is allowed to enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor. How could Professor Snape go there if he was on normal patrol?"

Harry questioned.

Irina explained, "There are many little wizards in Gryffindor who go out at night. Maybe someone ran there during the adventure. If that's the case, then Professor Snape can still save our classmates' lives!"

Ron spread his hands, "But it's impossible to think about it! Think about it, a guy as annoying as Snape probably wants us to die, so how can he come to save us?!"

Just as several people were discussing fiercely, Hagrid put down the teapot in his hand heavily.

The teapot hit the table, making a dull sound, attracting everyone's attention.

"How do you know Fluffy?!"

Hagrid asked, looking a little panicked.

As the gatekeeper of the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets guarding the Philosopher's Stone, Fluffy would never leave that room on weekdays, but Harry and the others knew Fluffy, which clearly showed that they had gone to that room without permission and met the three-headed dog Fluffy.

This made Hagrid panic. The Philosopher's Stone was a top secret and could not be revealed to the little wizards in front of him.

"Fluffy?"

Irina, Hermione, Harry and Ron asked in unison.

They looked at Hagrid, waiting for his answer.
