043- Stealing Supplies

Even after acquiring a life-saving pendant, it did not ease Ivan's anxiety, on the contrary, it strengthened the idea of ​​brewing the blood fusion potion as soon as possible to improve his strength, and his actions became more radical.

It's a pity that Quirrell has been behaving nicely during the holidays.

Just when Ivan was disappointed and ready to think of another distraction, on the third day of school, Quirrell's name suddenly started to move quickly on the map and then disappeared into the forbidden forest.

Perhaps it is because Quirrell was in a hurry, so his name was not overlapped with other people on the Marauder's Map, which means that Ivan could see where he was going.

What made Ivan even more delighted was that Snape was not in his office at this time, the time had come...

...

In a potions class a few days later, Snape's stern face seemed to be gloomier than normal. During the class, the students in Gryffindor had suffered one mishap after another, even Hermione and Ivan were no exception.

"Is Snape crazy? He deducted forty-five points from Gryffindor in one class today!" After class, had Ron just walked out of Snape's basement and couldn't help but complain.

Harry also nodded with lingering fear, he had lost ten points.

Hermione was also very angry. After all, Snape's reason for deducting points today was too outrageous. She kindly helped Seamus correct his mistakes today, but she did not expect that Snape would deduct five points for disturbing others.

Ivan sighed. His situation was just the opposite of her. The reason for the deduction was that he sat back and watched other students follow wrong procedures...

Snape obviously used the Gryffindor students to vent his anger.

Ron spoke all the way cursing him, and Hermione finally found a chance to break the news that she had noticed.

"I heard that Snape's potion ingredients were stolen from his storage room, and a lot of precious ingredients were lost. Snape even threatened to search the entire Hogwarts in his third-year class."

"I think Snape offends too many people. Someone wanted to retaliate against him. If Snape was a fair Professor like Prof. McGonagall in class, who would trouble him." Ron guessed.

Hermione and Harry also started guessing different scenarios.

"Ivan, what do you think?" Hermione asked, seeing that Ivan had been silent the whole time and it was a little strange.

"Maybe Snape did it himself." Ivan said casually.

Snape?

The three of them were at a loss. Why would Snape steal his own potions? That was originally his potion storage room!

"Have you forgotten the trapdoor under the three-headed dog Fluffy? Someone has always wanted to pass through it, and only Hagrid knows how to pass." Ivan didn't say anything clearly and answered vaguely.

"The Polyjuice potion! Snape must have wanted to use the Polyjuice potion to pretend to be Hagrid. It's a good guess." Hermione understood Ivan's meaning instantly and immediately guessed.

Harry got excited too, because he saw Snape's thigh injury a few days ago.

Snape must have needed to consume a lot of ingredients to make potions to heal his injuries, but he couldn't be discovered by Dumbledore, so he pretended that the herbs were stolen.

After all, although the potion storage room was located inside Snape's office, it was strictly the property of Hogwarts, and most of the money spent on the purchase of potion ingredients was paid by the school.

Harry guessed he must be correct and shared his thoughts with Ivan, Hermione, and Ron.

"That must be the case, Harry, you are right! Let's go tell Professor Dumbledore now! and destroy Snape's evil plan!" Ron immediately brightened up.

Ivan was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that he just said something casually, Harry and others made a whole story out of it...

"I never knew you had such rich imagination."

Snape's low voice came from behind the four.

Ron, who was full of excitement, immediately felt a chill go through him, and the flame in his heart was instantly extinguished.

"Prof...Professor..." Harry turned his head hard and stammered.

Hermione was also very scared, only Ivan pretended to be scared.

Snape walked up to the four of them and slowly leaned down, looking at them with his dark eyes, and the hook-like nose almost touching Harry's head.

Harry's brain had even begun to imagine what terrifying methods Snape would use to punish them. Will it be the memory charm or other evil curses?

After all, they had discovered Snape's biggest secret...

However, contrary to Harry's expectation, Snape didn't pull out his wand or throw them out of the window but said "10 points from Gryffindor!" After then, he hurriedly left.

"He let us go?" Harry felt a little unbelievable.

"Didn't he deduct points?" Ivan reminded.

"We know his biggest secret! If we tell Professor Dumbledore, he will be done." Harry didn't even take the deduction of house points into consideration. It was not the first time he has lost points anyway. He has gotten used to it.

"Snape just continued on his way to the principal's room." Ivan shook his head, knowing that Snape had gone to report to Dumbledore.

"When did we know Snape's secret? Wasn't it just a guess? Anyone who wants to pass the three-headed dog Fluffy has an incentive to do it, I think Quirrell is more suspicious... "Ivan said, touching his chin.

Harry and the others were speechless, then why did you mention Snape first? They were all guessing here and were caught by him.

"Ivan, you must be hiding something from us." Hermione's amber eyes stared straight at Ivan, trying to see something in his expression.

"Err... Yeah, I just remembered that I had an extra cake at noon, and I didn't have time to tell you." Ivan joked and turned away from the subject, and in his heart, he quietly apologized to the three of them.

Naturally, he stole Snape's potions supplies, and in order to not be discovered, he also took some materials for making Polyjuice potion and healing injuries.

The purpose was to confuse everyone. After all, without considering him as a variable, the most likely culprit now is Quirrell...
