Chapter 137 Help each other
Not only Ethan, Snape suspected that the so-called relatives had problems.
For example, Logan, this Gryffindor student is always alone and rarely plays with other children. Most of the time he acts very maturely, not like a child.
At the beginning, he thought Logan was just a little introverted, but now the real reason is that he can't play with real children.
And that Skaha...well...skaha?
Snape sat behind his desk and began to think silently.
Dumbledore saw that Ethan was not a real child, but he did not ask about Ethan's true identity, and he decided not to continue delving into this issue.
Snape did not agree with this. He felt that keeping such an unknown and powerful person in Hogwarts is a very serious hidden danger and may cause huge damage at any time.
Hogwarts is very important in the magic world. If a situation occurs, it may even cause a dynasty in the British magic world, and it may also cause many wizard families to lose their heirs.
In this case, no one does not pay attention to Hogwarts' security issues. Even those officials from the Ministry of Magic who always do stupid things, they also pay attention to Hogwarts' security issues but often do strange things.
Snape has been entangled in the identities of Ethan and others. While he was thinking about the abnormality of several "children", he suddenly thought of this problem that he had always ignored.
Skaha?
A trace of cold sweat began to appear on Snape's forehead.
Could it be that Skaha? Is this impossible?
At this moment, he suddenly understood why Dumbledore didn't delve into Ethan's true identity. He still clearly remembered that Dumbledore specifically asked Ethan's real name, and Ethan said that his real name was Ethan.
Similarly, if the other children use their real names, the name Skaha is very terrifying.
What's even more terrifying is that he remembered Skaha's performance in school. Her most outstanding performance was her understanding and mastery of Runi (also translated into Luen). For many adult wizards, the courses that are extremely troublesome for this little girl is simply like eating and drinking water.
"Snape... are you hot?"
"No."
Ethan raised his eyes slightly and turned his eyes from the book to Snape. When he saw his expression, he immediately realized that the clever Professor Snape must have guessed something.
"Don't think so much, the truth of many things is very simple. For example, I'm just coming to Hogwarts to learn some interesting knowledge."
Snape swallowed his saliva, his expression now seemed a little dull, but no one here would care about this.
"Why... are you interested in this knowledge?"
"Why aren't you interested? After all, I don't know these things, and they're very interesting, right?"
Snape did not understand the meaning of Ethan's words at first, and then he realized that modern magic knowledge has evolved for hundreds of years and is far from ancient magic. Even the core concepts of many magic have undergone earth-shaking changes. Even if Ethan is really a special existence and has mastered amazing power, he may not necessarily understand these things in detail.
The chat came to an abrupt end. After Snape sat down for a while, he saw Ethan put down the book in his hand, then closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something. Then he got up and stuffed the book back to its original place, and then took another book from the side.
"Are you finished reading?"
"Yes."
According to usual habits, Snape wanted to complain about how much content could Ethan remember in his reading method? But then he realized that the person in front of him was not an ordinary student, and after Ethan opened the second magical book, he asked several questions in succession. Snape knew that Ethan not only remembered the contents in the book very clearly, but also understood it deeply, and was no worse than him, a wizard who had been studying magic for decades.
At this time, Snape suddenly realized a question...it seemed...it was probably...it was probably...it should have asked Ethan for some questions that he had been thinking about for a long time but had no answer?
Magicians will always encounter various problems in the pursuit of mysterious knowledge.
Some questions have general answers. In this case, you only need to ask the person you know. Generally, the stronger the wizard, the more "answer" you have, the more you have.
There are also some explanations that do not have general explanations, and they also involve the differences in the paths that everyone takes. Even if you ask the powerful wizards for this question, at most, you can help and cannot get a very direct and clear answer.
But this is not absolute. If the person in front of him really exists like the kind of existence he thinks, there should be a clearer answer, right?
Snape saw Ethan still reading a book, and didn't know whether he should ask. At this time, Ethan seemed to have seen through something and suddenly said, "If you want to ask, ask what you want."
Only then did he realize that even though Ethan didn't look at him, all his actions could not be hidden from the other party.
"I have a few questions to ask for."
"Um……"
Snape thought about it and did not directly ask the question in his heart. Instead, he exchanged his understanding of some kind of spell with Ethan just like discussing magic with another wizard.
I don’t know if I don’t ask, but I’m shocked when I say it.
After listening to Ethan's story, Snape realized that Ethan's understanding of the curse was completely different from that of himself.
This difference is not because the two people are heading in completely different directions, but because there are differences from the perspective of the curse at the beginning.
For example, if a spell is compared to a maze, and being able to walk from the exit to the exit is considered to be successful in learning and being able to use this spell smoothly, then when exploring the maze and outlining its specific appearance is an understanding of this spell, Snape walked back and forth countless times, consciously exploring many places, but there are still many places that do not understand;
Ethan stood at a higher place overlooking the entire maze. The area Snape knew was long before the other party's eyes, and Ethan also knew what the place he could not see looked like.
Therefore, the other party can not only explain the details that Snape himself ignores, but also describe and analyze the curse from another angle or even opposite directions.
Snape was naturally very happy and immediately started discussing the next question. After discussing this for most of the day, Snape not only learned a lot, but also solved many questions that had accumulated over the years. His magical strength has been improved leaps and bounds in the past half day.
This improvement does not mean that the sudden increase in magic power, or that it can cast more powerful magic; it is the improvement of the understanding and application ability of many spells. Now it is easier for him to release the spell, and the loss of magic power is also lower. Many spells that he still can't figure out how to release silently can now be easily released.
The most intuitive manifestation is that when Snape released the Divine Blade Wuying, he not only did not need to chant a spell or even a magic wand, but he could suddenly release it silently and suddenly, thinking that he would not be able to do this until the day he died.
At this level, the power of this attack-type black magic has been increased by several levels. This spell itself is powerful and fast. There are no conspicuous lights and shadows such as light spots and lights when released. Now, there is no need for spells and wands when released. When attacking, it is faster and has no time to react.
Now anyone who can't get along with Snape, even if he just stands opposite him, he will risk being suddenly killed by this curse.
Then Snape asked about some content about potions. As a professor of potions, Snape himself also likes potions very much, and he also hopes that he can achieve greater achievements in this regard.
Ethan had not had time to understand the magical science of this world in depth, but he had other relevant knowledge, so he couldn't give Snape some advice.
It can also allow Snape to personally explain some of the key points of magic potions in this world, so that Ethan can absorb the knowledge of this world faster.
Before I knew it, most of the day passed. Ethan had read the book for a day and unexpectedly learned detailed and profound knowledge of potions from Snape. Today was not in vain.
In addition to these gains, there is another more important reason why he is here.
"I don't have the qualifications to borrow books in many areas of the library, and I'm afraid I need your help."
“There is no problem with that.”
After a day of "discussion" or asking for advice, Snape didn't mind helping Ethan so little.
"What kind of books do you need me to lend you?"
"You need to borrow books that students cannot borrow, and you can get a few books every day."
Snape didn't know how Ethan had read so many books, but he was not going to ask, when Ethan came to pick it up tomorrow, he would know what was going on.
"See you tomorrow, Professor Snape."
After saying that, before Snape said goodbye to him, Ethan had closed the door and left Snape's office.
At this time, Hogwarts' class today has ended, and it is the break from the afternoon class to before supper. There are many students in the corridor, and the same is true in the courtyard.
The students were doing what they wanted to do to relax, and Ethan was about to find a place to stay quiet for a while, and then went for supper, but Ilia caught him.
"You actually took a day off!"
Ethan spread his hands, and compared to other courses, he could at least learn something. The significance of the Black Magic Defense class to Ethan was to learn some spells used in combat, but now he could get all the offensive spells from Snape.
So why did he still listen to Lockhart bragging? Instead of wasting time in Lockhart, it would be better to study with Logan what magical plants are suitable for stewing with Basilisk meat to taste good.
