Chapter 582: Borrowing the Philosopher's Stone

Twenty minutes later, they returned to the empty common room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The room was quiet, dimly lit, and the only source of light was the fire in the fireplace.

The four of them sat down on the soft armchairs, each with a sense of exhaustion and powerlessness.

On a nearby table, the badges in support of Cedric Diggory that the Creevey brothers were trying to improve glistened in the firelight, and it seemed like a long time ago that the two of them were working together to improve the badges.

The images they saw tonight were so shocking that their heads were still full of dragons roaring.

"Karkaroff also knows about the dragon, we should tell Cedric about it, so it's fair!" Harry whispered for a long time, "he certainly doesn't know about this, we can't let him ...... alone"

"You're right, Harry!" Hermione said, "but now it's time to think about how to get Ron through the first project and survive until Tuesday night." ”

"I can't do it!" Ron said in a hollow voice, "I can't do it, I can't defeat those monsters." ”

Aven, Harry, and Hermione looked at each other, and Ron wasn't in a good state right now.

Originally, I thought that after seeing the appearance of the fire dragon tonight, he would be mentally prepared and play better in the game.

But looking at Ron's appearance, the terrible fire dragon seemed to knock him straight down!

Evan helped him all the way back, and he could clearly feel Ron's legs stumbling all the way.

Charlie is right, facing the fire dragon at once is too difficult for Ron!

"Be brave, Ron!" Hermione said, turning her head to look at a pale Ron, "Sirius said that with the Eye Curse, you can make those dragons see nothing, and then you can go over and get what they're guarding. ”

"It's easy to say, it's a fire dragon, not a bigger lizard!" Ron said loudly, clenching his fists, "you all saw just now, they can breathe fire twenty feet away, and that Hungarian tree bee can even spray forty feet, which is longer than the distance of the spell, how can I get close to them and use the Eye Disease Charm." What's more, even if I use it, it may not be effective, my strength is too weak, and the fire dragon will definitely resist my spell. ”

After a long silence, Harry and Hermione asked themselves, unable to easily approach the terrifying fire dragon that was constantly spitting fire.

Just looking at it from a distance is enough to make people shudder.

As Evan had anticipated, what Ron needed now was courage, followed by the strength to defeat the fire dragon.

"I can't do it, I don't want to die yet!" Ron said weakly, "I should just give up the game, or run away from Hogwarts and run away wherever I want." ”

"Don't say stupid things, Ron!" said Harry, hurrying.

"It's impossible!" Hermione followed, "Professor Moody said that from the moment your name was spat out by the Goblet of Fire, you have a contractual relationship with the Triwizard Tournament, and you have to participate in it. ”

"Those people are trying to kill me, I can't just send me to die!" Ron shouted, the expression on his face looking a little scary.

Immediately, he sat back down in his armchair, without any strength.

After another moment of silence, Ron said softly, "There is only one way, there is only one way, unless ......"

"Unless what?!"

Evan noticed that Ron was staring at him in a daze, his eyes shining.

"Unless Evan lends me the Philosopher's Stone, with the power of the Philosopher's Stone, I will be able to defeat the Fire Dragon!" Ron said quickly.

Evan was stunned for a moment, looking at Ron's serious expression before he was sure he wasn't joking.

He didn't expect that Ron would make such a request to borrow a philosopher's stone from him?!

In the end, to borrow or not to borrow?!

"It's useless, Ron!" Evan thought for a moment and said directly, "I know what you're thinking, but even if I lend you the Philosopher's Stone, you won't be able to use it, and the magic in it can't be directly absorbed and used by wizards." The Philosopher's Stone is a prop created by ancient warlocks using alchemy to provide magic power to powerful magic, and cannot directly improve the strength of wizards. ”

He briefly explained the principle of the Philosopher's Stone, hoping that Ron would understand.

But seeing Ron's eyes, Evan knew that what he had just said was in vain.

"Evan told me about it before, the last time he used the Philosopher's Stone at the World Cup, he almost died. Hermione hurriedly said, "Don't think about it anymore, Ron, the Philosopher's Stone won't help you at all!"

"Really?!" Ron said, the smile on his face a little stiff, and he looked at Evan and Hermione suspiciously, "But last semester, Professor Lupin and Sirius clearly said that the magic in the Philosopher's Stone greatly increases the strength of wizards, and with its help, wizards can do many unimaginable things. Aven, you said that, too, that's why we went to the centaur tribe to find the Philosopher's Stone, didn't we?!"

"I thought so at the time, but it was clearly not the case. Evan patiently explained, "I can't use the magic power in the Philosopher's Stone at all, and his improvement in my strength is not as great as I imagined." ”

"Then how do you explain that your magic has increased by leaps and bounds in the past two years?" Ron questioned.

He didn't care about pulling Harry from the side, and told all the questions in his heart.

The atmosphere was very awkward, looking at the expression on Ron's face, Evan was a little irritable, his doubts and distrust of himself were already very obvious.

"I told you about it, my mana enhancement is due to the magic potion I received from Slytherin a thousand years ago, and it helped me increase my mana quickly!" Evan hesitated for a moment before continuing, "The recipe for this potion has been lost for a long time, and it is impossible to configure. ”

He didn't say anything about how quickly his magic had improved with the help of the Slytherin Locket.

The locket is a powerful magical item that has saved Evan many times, but it also doesn't help Ron.

And Dumbledore had told Evan not to tell anyone else about it, not even those around him.

A magical item that can help wizards quickly increase their mana, which is already comparable to the power of a Deathly Hallows.

If it spreads, I'm afraid that Ai Wen won't want to live peacefully in the future!

Then again, Evan wasn't obligated to explain anything to Ron, and there was no need to lend him the Philosopher's Stone.

He had helped Ron for the sake of the two of them being barely friends, as well as the faces of Harry, Hermione, and the rest of the Weasleys, and Evan had had a bad impression of him since the last time Ron yelled at Hermione in the common room.

It's not that Ron doesn't have merit, but sometimes it's really annoying, like now......

Ron didn't seem to be able to tell if he was begging for someone or if he was jealous of his questioning attitude.

If it weren't for the fact that Hermione wouldn't give up on Ron, Evan wouldn't have bothered to care about his life or death in the face of the fire dragon. (To be continued.) )
