Chapter 104 Hermi1 Scolds Harry, And The Parchment Appears (For Subscription)
Hearing Professor McGonagall’s words, the expressions of other professors were not very good.
Dumbledore, the old man who had been silent for a long time slowly raised his head, with strong confidence in his eyes, glanced at everyone, and waited for Dumbledore to speak slowly:
“Take it easy, Minerva… I can’t guarantee anything else, but with Voldemort’s current state, it will take at least a year to crack the spell I left behind to protect the Philosopher’s Stone…”
Dumbledore had this confidence. The Philosopher’s Stone was put into the Mirror of Erised under the protection of layers of magic spells. Voldemort was just a remnant now, and it was not that easy to take out the Philosopher’s Stone.
There is no wizard in this world who can easily do this…
Except that guy.
Dumbledore thought of Saruman in his heart, this mysterious wizard has the ability of transfiguration more superb than him, and to crack the magic that protects the magic stone, transfiguration is the key…
From Nagini’s intelligence, we can know that Voldemort and Saruman should have had contact.
“If the worst happens…”
A chill flashed in Dumbledore’s eyes, and if that was the case, as long as he was around, Voldemort couldn’t make any waves.
“My biggest worry is that those former Death Eaters, Dumbledore, there were many Death Eaters who escaped punishment through various means. If they knew that Voldemort got the Philosopher’s Stone, even if they would not support it openly, but secretly defected. situation is bound to happen.
“If they help Voldemort, I think the Philosopher’s Stone will be taken out much earlier.
Snape used to be a Death Eater, so he knew the Death Eaters very well, and the wobbly guys would definitely rejoin him once they heard that the former Dark Lord was back.
Thinking of this, Snape felt resentment in his heart. 583
At first he only thought Quirrell was sent by Voldemort to steal the Philosopher’s Stone, so Dumbledore wanted to use him, Snape didn’t say anything, but when he learned that Voldemort’s remnant was hidden in Quirrell, Snape More than once, Pu had advised Dumbledore to let him do it directly.
But Dumbledore never agreed.
Alright now, play off.
No matter what, the Philosopher’s Stone is indeed in Voldemort’s hands.
“This matter can’t be publicized. If the Ministry of Magic knows, Hogwarts will be in chaos. Well, I will meet some old friends later… Don’t worry, Voldemort will not survive so easily.
Dumbledore looked at the preoccupied professors and smiled slightly. His smile carried a kind of magic, which calmed the nervous emotions of the professors inexplicably.
“Minerva, Severus, you two, search Quirrell’s office carefully, he left in such a hurry, maybe we can find some clues…”
“Flitwick, you should contact the murals and ghosts in the castle, and ask them to be more careful recently to prevent someone from sneaking into the castle and doing bad things.
“Sprout…Can I invite you to the school doctor’s office, please ask Ms. Nagini to come to my office, I have something to discuss with her…Professor Binns…you go back to rest first…”
“Okay, let’s act!”
Dumbledore clapped his hands, and the professors took action one after another. Snape took a deep look at Dumbledore, threw his robes, and hurriedly left.
“Ugh.
After everyone left, Dumbledore sighed and looked at Fox not far away.
Since the chant of light was cast on it, although Fox has no nirvana, its vitality has become more and more vigorous.
“Old friend…Am I really wrong this time? But Harry…”
(cgeb) Dumbledore thought of that prophecy, then shook his head in self-deprecation.
“I’m still old enough to doubt my decision… Although I don’t know how Quirrell discovered the Philosopher’s Stone, it’s not that easy for Voldemort to be resurrected.
Dumbledore opened the drawer and took out a box inside.
He opened the box, which contained a magically sealed, ugly, curled-up soul, and Dumbledore looked at the ugly soul and muttered to himself:
“A Horcrux…how can it be so easy? Tom…everything has a price…”
Quirrell’s office.
After Snape and McGonagall entered the office, the lingering smell of garlic made Snape frown, and he opened the window to let in the fresh air outside.
From this window, the Black Lake was just in sight, and Snape glanced at it and found Artel and Hermione walking.
“Professor McGonagall, if you had supported me in the first place, and had taken action against Quirrell as soon as possible, these things would not have happened today. 99
“I believe in Dumbledore.
Professor McGonagall walked over, she also saw Artel and Hermione, and a soft color flashed in her eyes.
“Everyone is not omnipotent, Dumbledore has done a good job, since he said Quirrell didn’t get the Philosopher’s Stone so easily, then I’d like to believe him.
Professor McGonagall walked to the desk, looked at Snape, and asked:
“There’s still time to make up for it, isn’t it?
Professor McGonagall said something, took out his wand and tapped it. All the drawers in Quirrell’s office were opened, and various materials flew out.
Snape didn’t speak, he turned and searched Quirrell’s bookshelf.
With the help of magic, the two quickly searched Quirrell’s office, but when Snape wanted to leave, Professor McGonagall found something wrong.
She looked at a wall for a long time, looked this way, looked that way, still a little undecided, and finally decided to go to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore quickly rushed over with Nagini. After learning about the situation from Professor McGonagall, Dumbledore walked to the wall to observe. After about five minutes, his face changed slightly.
“There are traces of Transfiguration, a very clever enchantment…”
Dumbledore took out his wand and waved it, and a wave of light flashed across the wall.
With a click, a crack appeared where Dumbledore’s wand was pointing, and then as if something was broken, a dark red wooden board suddenly appeared on the wall.
“This enchantment.”
Dumbledore’s face was a little suspicious, because this magical barrier didn’t look like Quirrell could make it out.
But he didn’t think too much at the moment, and gently opened the red wooden board to reveal the contents inside.
Both McGonagall and Snape were a little surprised.
Because inside is a very familiar parchment.
“Gandalf’s Diary…”
McGonagall whispered.
Dumbledore took out the parchment, opened it and took a closer look, the surprise on his face thickened.
“If this is Quirrell’s thing…then that spider in the Forbidden Forest, was Voldemort getting it?
Dumbledore quickly read the content on the parchment. When he was in the Forbidden Forest, he learned a little about Shilob from the conversation between Artel and Shilob, but it was not comprehensive.
On this parchment, however, Shilob’s origin and history were recorded in detail.
“Fortunately, when Frodo left Rivendell, the elves presented him with a short knife and a crystal bottle of starlight…”
“Starlight crystal bottle…”
Dumbledore glanced at Nagini, remembering that Nagini said yesterday that the woman who had healed her curse held a bottle of sparkling stars in her hand.
Could it be this thing?
And what Gandalf mentioned at the end of his diary, the potion that turns people into animals…
The one who betrayed them…
Is it Saruman? Or someone else?
Dumbledore pondered for a long time, and handed the parchment to Snape and Mag. The two quickly browsed the information on it, and both showed different expressions.
“I don’t know what this parchment has to do with Quirrell for the time being… Although his ability is not enough to create such a secret magical enchantment, if there is Voldemort’s help, it is not impossible. 39
“The spider monster in the Forbidden Forest, Shilob… He knew Saruman. If this thing was brought by Voldemort, what was his purpose?”
Dumbledore had a headache. His Pensieve had been filled with a lot of things, and many questions had not been answered, and now new questions have arisen.
“Let’s discuss it at the next Phoenix Society meeting.
Dumbledore decided to stop thinking about it, he looked at Snape and said:
“Block off Quirrell’s office. Don’t let the little wizards in. I have to deal with those directors. A professor suddenly disappeared, and I have to give them an answer.”
Dumbledore took the parchment from Snape, turned and left the office. Nagini thought about it, and left with Professor McGonagall. She didn’t teach anyone else, so she planned to ask McGonagall. .
Snape glanced at the messy office, closed the door, cast a spell to completely seal the place, and left without looking back.
Artel and Hermione walked around the edge of the Black Lake, planning to go back to the castle, when Harry and Ron were leaving Hagrid’s cabin.
“Why doesn’t Hagrid believe me?! It’s obviously Snape…”
The atmosphere on Harry’s face, it was obvious that he didn’t get the answer he wanted from Hagrid.
“Forget it…let the professors worry, Harry, let’s talk about our Defence Against the Dark Arts class on Friday, I can’t wait…”
Ron saw Artel and Hermione, and he shut his mouth and smiled awkwardly.
Harry glanced at Artel, seemed to have made up his mind, walked to his side, and said in a low voice:
“Artel, I want you to do me a favor…”
“No problem, if it’s not against the school rules…”
Artel nodded, though he couldn’t think of anything Harry would ask him to do, but he didn’t mind helping him if it wasn’t troublesome.
Harry’s expression was a little embarrassed, he opened his mouth, hesitated a few times, and finally gathered up his courage.
“I want you to help me pry open the door to Snape’s office…”
“Are you crazy?
Harry hadn’t finished speaking, Artel hadn’t answered, and Hermione had quit.
She sneered and looked at Harry as if she were seeing another lunatic.
“It’s not enough for you to violate the school rules yourself, do you want to implicate Artel? To pry into a professor’s office? I really don’t know how you dare to say such a thing!”
“What the famous Harry Potter? You’ve already deducted a hundred and fifty points from Gryffindor! Look what you’ve been up to lately! Now you want to drag Artel to do something bad! It’s hilarious! Idiot! 35
Hermione scolded Harry angrily, reaching out and grabbing Artel’s sleeve.
“Let’s go, Artel!”
