"Hiss!" Harry suddenly took a sharp breath.
"Harry, what's wrong?" Ron immediately leaned in, concerned.
Coming from a large family with seven children, Ron had often been overlooked at home and didn't have many friends.
He cherished his friendship with Harry deeply.
"It's nothing, just a bit of a headache."
Feeling his friend's concern warmed Harry's heart, and even the sudden pain from his scar seemed to lessen.
Wait a minute.
The last time his scar hurt like this…
Harry quickly scanned his surroundings.
Sure enough, in the distance, he spotted Snape—cloaked in black, his aura dark and unpleasant as always.
Even though he disliked Snape, Harry wasn't the type to openly disrespect a professor. And as a student, accusing a teacher without evidence wasn't exactly smart.
So, Harry simply frowned, gave a polite nod to the Potions Master, and tugged Ron's sleeve, hurrying away.
Snape remained silent, his gaze fixed on Harry like a bat lurking in the shadows.
Only when Quirrell had completely vanished from his peripheral vision, and Harry had disappeared from sight, did Severus Snape withdraw his watchful stare.
Then, he turned and walked in the direction Quirrell had gone.

Roger had no idea that, in another corner of Hogwarts, a small incident involving him had just unfolded.
Even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared.
At this moment, all his attention was focused on his new magical experiment.
After extensive theoretical planning…
After discussing the technical details with multiple professors…
After verifying his ideas with Transfiguration Master Professor McGonagall…
The first step in his magic research on immortality was finally ready for practical testing!
"The supplies I bought just in case… I didn't expect them to actually come in handy."
Roger rummaged through his luggage and pulled out a package about the size of a computer tower, but narrower.
"A three-pronged lancet."
"Glass slides."
As he unpacked, Roger sorted through the items.
"And most importantly… a microscope!"
With everything ready, Roger raised his wand.
Now, let the miracle begin…
Transfiguration!
