I remember clearly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On the second floor, near the library,” Professor Flitwick said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, so Potter lied,” Snape said coldly. “Just like his father—arrogant, full of lies…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Severus,” Dumbledore interrupted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape looked displeased but fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should we check the students’ hats?” Professor McGonagall quickly spoke up, shifting the topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need,” Dumbledore shook his head. “It was probably accidentally brought in by the troll. It doesn’t matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, this plain pointed hat was practically standard equipment for school robes at Hogwarts—it was far too common, and whoever lost it would surely have done something about it; checking this was meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I still think I should go to the hospital wing,” Snape stepped forward. “I’ll brew a special potion for Professor Quirrell—perhaps we can get the correct answer from him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among everyone present, only Snape remained true to his original intent—he simply wanted to get to Quirrell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether his “special potion” contained anything else… he’d deny it outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Dumbledore did not agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After staying on-site a little longer and confirming no other clues had been missed, everyone gradually left, leaving only Hagrid to care for the injured three-headed dog, Fluffy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way back, Snape spoke again: “Dumbledore, I still think it’s unwise to let that three-headed dog remain in the castle—it’s far too dangerous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You saw it yourself—even with only two heads, it killed an adult troll in minutes. What if one day it gets hungry and breaks into the castle without restraint…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—the three-headed dog can’t break through that door,” Dumbledore said. “Besides, the house-elves in the kitchen will take care of it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I assure you, there’s no problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape had wanted to say more, but now he fell silent and instead said, “I’ll keep an eye on Quirrell—this time, he’s definitely behind this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two parted at the staircase landing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on the eighth floor, Gryffindor common room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When did you get back!” Harry, just returning, stared in shock at Silven, who was sitting in the armchair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I came back with everyone,” Silven said. “I was about to ask where you were—everyone said they didn’t see you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We went looking for you to tell you about the troll in the school,” Harry said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silven looked at him, then at Ron and Hermione beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When did you two become so close?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who’s close to her!” Ron immediately distanced himself. “If she hadn’t pleaded for Harry, we’d never have teamed up with her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was just stating facts!” Hermione glared at him. “Do you think I wanted to be with you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silven stared at them in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, from Harry, he learned the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Halloween banquet, Hermione had gone to Professor McGonagall on her own initiative, providing a full account of the flying lesson, trying to prove that Malfoy was the one who broke the rules, and that Harry had been forced to get involved to protect a classmate’s belongings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because she told the truth, or perhaps because she added harmless embellishments, by the time Hermione left McGonagall’s office, Harry’s detention had been canceled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the Halloween banquet, when Quirrell burst in to announce the troll’s presence; all three immediately decided to find the still-outside Silven and acted together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, Silven felt a little touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it might have been the influence of “Gryffindor spirit,” they truly showed up when it mattered—and more importantly, they risked facing a troll themselves rather than reporting their whereabouts to the professors. This was a friend worth having.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silven felt somewhat comforted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry,” Harry patted his chest. “Professor McGonagall docked points from us, but not from you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silven’s smile froze. “No points docked from me… does that mean Professor McGonagall knew I wasn’t at the banquet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course,” Ron nodded as if it were obvious. “But we explained—you hadn’t had time to get to the banquet yet, didn’t know about the troll, and didn’t leave midway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I really thank you,” Silven said flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, his relief came too soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silven felt helpless—he had no idea how to describe his current mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just ten minutes ago, Silven had used the map Fred and George gave him to slip into a secret passage before Snape and McGonagall arrived, took a shortcut to the second floor, blended into the student group, and even managed to draw Professor Flitwick’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything had gone smoothly—he’d thought he could stay out of this entirely—but now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silven sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine, whatever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the professors knew, what could they do? He’d indirectly helped them deal with the troll threat—surely they wouldn’t dock his points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the injured three-headed dog? That was the troll’s doing—what does it have to do with Silven?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1076,"2026-06-20T04:03:11.805Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c86961d9bbc4036768270e496d98e2453b77efff4d530bb4d913a139952b9b4a","hogwarts-don-t-call-me-a-wandmaker-chapter-32","hogwarts-don-t-call-me-a-wandmaker-chapter-30",149,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-don-t-call-me-a-wandmaker-cover.jpg"]
