Chapter Seventy-Two: Serial Lies

"No・・・・・・ before the History of Magic exam, I rubbed shoulders with Professor McGonagall in the hallway・・・・・・" Vio racked his brains to make his statement sound a little better: "At the time- Professor Snape was also ・・・・・・" nonsense, Snape was in the cellar at the time, but Hermione wouldn't know, Vio thought as he said, "It was Professor Snape who asked about Dumbledore, and then Professor McGonagall said that he left the school and won't be back for a while-"

"Snape?!" Hermione screamed, as if she couldn't breathe. Pen & Fun &www.biquge.info Harry and Ron looked at each other worriedly.

"Without further ado, we should—" Harry could finish his sentence when a voice suddenly sounded from the other end of the hallway.

"What are you four doing in the foyer?"

Vio glanced at the visitor, frightened - it was Professor McGonagall, who had a large stack of books in her hand - oh my God, she had just told a lie about her when she appeared.

"We-" Harry hesitated, but didn't say anything, he believed Vio's words, and since Dumbledore wasn't there, it was impossible to find him.

"Then let's go outside, it's not a good place for a few kids to play. Professor McGonagall said. Then, she left happily.

But the moment she left, Vio immediately realized that she had made a huge mistake! she informed Harry of Dumbledore's absence in advance, so Harry stopped talking to Professor McGonagall, and did not tell him about the Philosopher's Stone.

She couldn't let Professor McGonagall leave like this - she didn't know Harry that they had learned about the Philosopher's Stone, so how could she immediately inform Dumbledore who had actually left the school, she hadn't informed Dumbledore - oh my God, what if Dumbledore wouldn't have had time to come back and banish Quirrell when Harry reached the final hurdle?

What to do??

In a hurry, Harry was already telling Hermione, "Just tonight, Snape will be passing through the trapdoor guarded by Lowe tonight." He'd got everything he needed, and now Dumbledore happened to be out of school—"

"But what can we—"

Hermione took a sharp breath of air, and Harry and Ron spun around.

Snape stood there.

"Good afternoon. He said in a sleek tone.

The three of them stared at him blankly.

Vio's eyes lit up! It was great to see Snape at this time!

"Professor!" Vio shouted, almost pounced, tears in his eyes as if he had seen a loved one, "You're here!"

For a moment, Snape stared at Vio, who was hugging his sleeve, stunned.

Harry, Hermione, and Ron were all confused.

"We, we've heard that the Potions class results are coming out, and we'd like to ask if you can let us—" She said confusedly, but kept her eyes on Snape - there was only one way, Snape would be able to read what others were thinking.

Without arousing the suspicion of Harry and Hermione, one can only hope that Snape will use the Celestial Mind on Vio's brain, and then know what Harry is about to do, and then Snape will inform Dumbledore - which will also ensure that Dumbledore is informed and will return at the right time・・・・・・

We're going to find the Philosopher's Stone later, and Harry knows that Snape and Quirrell are teaming up to find the Philosopher's Stone, and I'll have to find a way to stop him, yes, I'll have to stop him from meeting up with Quirrell - Vio tried his best to think of the sentences in his head, while still looking at Snape unblinking, tears in his eyes.

Finally, she felt a change in her mind・・・・・・ Snape's eyes became hollow・・・・・・ and for a moment, he was back to normal.

He paused, pulling his sleeve back from Vio's arm in disgust.

"Delusional that I'm going to give you a change in the grades—I don't know, Santriel, how a year of study can make you more and more stupid. Snape said, his face contorting with a wry smile. "You shouldn't be inside in such weather. ”

"We we're in—" Harry said, but he could tell he didn't know what he was going to say.

"You need to be careful," Snape said, "and you're going to think you're trying to do something bad." Gryffindor can't afford to drop points, can they?" He looked happily at Harryton's blushing face and added to him alone, "A word of caution, Potter - if you wander around in the middle of the night." I'm going to fire you personally. Have a nice day. ”

He strode outside.

Several people turned to look at Vio together, "You were really risky just now-" Hermione sighed sadly, she saw that Vio didn't speak, she thought she was being taunted by Snape, so she put her arm around her, "You know, we can't just stare at Snape and not let him go." ”

Harry nodded, and as Hermione said that, he realized what the reason for what Vio had just done.

The four of them came together on the stone steps outside.

Harry said to them, "Well, that seems to be the only way to go, right?" Harry's face turned pale and his eyes sparkled. "I'm sneaking in tonight, and I'm going to try to get my hands on the Philosopher's Stone first. ”

"You're crazy!" Ron opened his mouth.

"You can't do that!" said Hermione, "didn't you hear what Snape said? you're going to be expelled!"

"I'm rooting for Harry. Vio said calmly.

Hermione looked at her in disbelief. "You're going to get you expelled—"

"So what?" said Harry exclaimed, "Don't you understand that if Snape gets the Philosopher's Stone, Voldemort will come back! Have you not heard what was like in the wizarding world when he covered the sky with one hand? If he had done it, Hogwarts would no longer exist! He would have flattened the school, or he would only teach the dark arts in the future! It didn't matter if he lost points or not, whether he was expelled or not. Do you think that if you win the House Cup, Voldemort will let you and your family go?"

He paused, and finally said, "If I am caught before I can find the Philosopher's Stone, then I will have to wait for Voldemort to find me at the Dursley's house (where Harry lives with his aunt and uncle), and that will only be a little later than now, because I will never go to the dark Ones." You two can't stop me! Voldemort killed my parents—"

He ended his argument glaring at Ron and Hermione.

"You're right, Harry. Hermione said softly. Ron patted Harry on the shoulder, but said nothing.

Vio sighed, she could understand Harry's feelings, and avenge his parents - what was she planning so much, all sorts of guidance, and even getting involved in a head-to-head confrontation with Voldemort?

There were so many reasons, but now, the reason in front of her - she just wanted to see her parents in the twentieth century in that mirror of Eris.

And the magic mirror was used by Dumbledore to hide the Philosopher's Stone.
