195. Quirrell's provocation

Harry Potter didn't notice an inexplicable light in his eyes at all, he was just stalling for time, this non-human thing seemed to be much faster than their movements, if it were him, Harry could run very fast, after all, he had trained in this area before, but Draco couldn't do it, he didn't usually look like he was exercising often.

So Harry is standing here now.

It didn't matter what the monster was, whether it was a human or a ghost, Harry thought he could drag it out, it wasn't Harry's conceit, it was just that he had something he wanted to protect, at least he wouldn't stop here.

Harry Potter looked at the monster close at hand, and he spread his hand and said, "You should be targeting me, right?" After following all this far, don't you feel tired? ”

The monster didn't speak, just wandered there, as if waiting for someone, and as if looking at Harry, who was thinking about the magic he knew, but he hadn't tried a lot of magic, he had only seen spells.

"Do you have a helper? Are you waiting for him? ”

A wall of fire appeared between the two of them, and Harry was not stupid, he stood still but did not say that he would not resist, this time he did not use his wand, but just the fire that he had kindled according to his own heart. Harry's magic normally wanes a lot with a wand. Harry didn't know why, but it was clear that this wand was the best fit for him.

But even if Harry didn't fit his wand that well, he was still better than a young wizard his age. The flames were raging in the monster's footsteps, he looked a little agitated, Hagrid's cries and footsteps were getting closer, and Harry looked at the monster that didn't want to leave.

"Guess if your helper is faster, or Hagrid is faster."

Harry didn't say anything bold to try to catch him, but the fact that Harry's scar hurt every time the monster came near him made Harry mind a little, and he looked at the monster and wondered if he had any connection to his scar in one way or another.

The monster pounced once, but this time the flames were even more powerful than the last time, he was probably burned by the flames, so he fell back to his original position, and it seemed that even the monster was thinking about whether he should continue to stay here or leave.

"Let's get back to the topic, who are you?"

Apparently the monster didn't want to sue him, he didn't say a word the whole time, just wandered over there, Harry took a step forward, "Let me guess, you have a helper, it's the professor at Hogwarts, who is it?" ”

Harry didn't say Professor Quirrell's name, which would have been a surprise, and if the monster that suddenly appeared had nothing to do with Quirrell, Harry was willing to be deducted fifty points by Professor Snape.

"Whether this person is willing or forced, what he wants is the Philosopher's Stone, but now it seems that it should be prepared for you, the Philosopher's Stone can reshape people's **, isn't it just what you need to look like a half-human and half-ghost?"

Harry was stimulating the half-human, half-ghost monster in front of him step by step, he was still thinking about why Professor Quirrell wanted the Philosopher's Stone, at first he thought it might be Professor Quirrell who wanted eternal life, but when he looked at the forbidden/book area, he knew that things might not be so simple, an alchemy, a magic that can make people get their own ** again.

He didn't think Professor Quirrell had any of his closest relatives in need of such magic, but after seeing this half-human, half-ghost monster, Harry thought that this was the answer.

"You also deceived Hagrid, that dragon egg must have been given to him because he wanted to know something from Hagrid's mouth, Hagrid's mind is relatively simple, you can't let him think about complicated things, no matter what kind of question you want to ask after he gets the dragon egg, Hagrid will answer it in a daze, am I right?"

Harry pressed step by step, thanks to his biological parents for giving him a good head, thanks to the horrific bedside stories that David had since he was a child, and those reasoning questions that appeared from time to time, so that his mind was not sluggish. They must be waiting for an opportunity, a chance to make a move.

"You must be wondering why I know so much?" Harry paused to raise the flames even more, "Because you have someone to fear, Dumbledore, and the reason why you are so slow to do so is because Dumbledore is here. ”

After all, Dumbledore is the greatest wizard in the wizarding world, and it is said that Voldemort has always been afraid of this great wizard, so they are probably waiting for the right time to do it.

"Dumbledore told me a lot of things."

Harry was now thinking about who the monster was, and he had an answer in his mind, but he didn't have a definite answer yet.

Hagrid was already close, the monster regretted the barrier of the wall of fire, but was still ready to turn away, he needed to leave immediately, his appearance could not be seen by others, but he also knew a lot from the mouth of the "mouthy" Harry, it was Dumbledore who commanded a qiΔ“ from behind.

"You're the one you can't speak, are you?"

Harry didn't get any answers, of course, but he was already somewhat sure that the half-human, half-ghost monster was Voldemort, and to be honest, no one but Voldemort could be like this, let alone have any connection to his scars.

Hagrid had already come to Harry's side, Draco and Tooth were following him, Hagrid saw the wall of fire in front of Harry and exclaimed, Harry frowned and turned around The flames began to slowly disappear, to be honest, Hagrid exclaimed that the forest was going to be set on fire was purely out of excessive worry. When the flames were gone, Harry came to Draco, who was panting.

"Are you okay?"

If it weren't for Draco's estimation that he was a Malfoy, he would have sat on the ground a long time ago, he bent over and glared at Harry, but this glance was honestly not lethal, he ran too much and there was nothing to do except gasp for air, and the sweat flowed into his eyes and stimulated tears, so it would be strange if Draco's eyes were lethal.

"Dear Mr. Malfoy, looks like you need to work out."

Harry shrugged his shoulders and laughed at Draco's body, could such a body do anything other than wave his wand? Even if there was a fight, it was probably only for the sake of being bullied, Draco managed to straighten up, and then stepped forward and kicked Harry, he couldn't lift his hand but still had some strength under his feet.

Harry talked to Hagrid about the Forbidden Forest, and the professors would probably talk to him later. Harry was sixty percent sure that they had met Voldemort that night, and it was hard to guess anyone other than Voldemort from his relentless pursuit, his condition, and the scar on Harry's forehead.

Harry didn't bring it up to anyone else, except Thor.

And Harry also told Thor not to talk to anyone else, including their Dad, this matter is still within their control, if their Dad Greg Lestrade knew that the Voldemort who once wanted to kill Harry was still alive, he would definitely let the two of them out of school, but Harry didn't want to leave Hogwarts yet, there were many things he still cared about.

Thor agreed to Harry, and there was no way to tell Harry to be the boss of their family.

As Harry had guessed, Dumbledore had first approached Harry since he had enrolled.

In fact, Dumbledore has wanted to talk to Harry for a long time, he really wants to know what happened to James and Lily's children back then, they never talked about it, Dumbledore just heard about Harry from the mouths of every professor, but recently the professors are saying that Harry has improved, he is very smart, especially in magic, and has a very, very high talent.

Harry had come alone, and when he had entered Dumbledore's office with a password, he began to look at the man not far away, the greatest wizard, Albus Dumbledore, the white-haired, white-bearded old man with a smile. Harry knew that the old man was a very shrewd man, and it would be difficult to fool the old man, although Harry had not been in contact with him, but Harry thought that he should be the same figure as Mycroft, but Dumbledore was more concerned about the learning of young wizards.

"You're looking for me, Professor Dumbledore."

"Sit down Harry, would you like a cup of tea?"

Harry sat on a stool in Dumbledore's room, with a candy box on the small table in front of him, and it seemed that Dumbledore was a man with a sweet tooth.

"No thanks, Professor."

Harry wasn't much of a tea drinker, preferring juice or milk.

"Harry, would you like to tell me about what happened in the Forbidden Forest that night?"

Harry smiled and nodded, there really is no such thing as being willing or not, since he called himself here, is there any reason for him not to say it?

Harry then began to tell the story of a Forbidden Forest True Shadow who concealed part of the truth, concealing that he had lit a fire and that he had stopped to ask about the monster. When he finished telling his story, he looked at Dumbledore, who was sitting across from him, and asked worriedly, "Professor, that monster ...... What is it? ”

Dumbledore looked into Harry's eyes, and those eyes didn't show any fear, nor did they show any curiosity about the matter, as if Harry had asked this question casually, and it didn't matter if he answered it or not. Dumbledore was eager to meet Harry's adoptive father, and he wondered what kind of man could raise Harry to such a character, and perhaps the so-called reports were not comprehensive.

Dumbledore suddenly thought of eleven-year-old Tom, Harry was better than Tom who had just stepped out of the orphanage at the age of eleven, maybe Tom at that time was half as mature as Harry is now, and the world was about to take a big turn.

But the only thing I'm thankful about is that Harry isn't a bad boy, he doesn't have any **, no ** for power.

"Probably some kind of revenant? We'll look into it. ”

Dumbledore would deceive Harry like this because he didn't think Harry knew who that person might be, and if Dumbledore had known that Harry had guessed earlier, he probably wouldn't have deceived him like this.

Harry also looked into Dumbledore's eyes, Hannibal had told him that other people's eyes were the least deceiving, and that no matter what kind of affection they were, they would express it from their eyes. Dumbledore's eyes were telling him, and he didn't want to tell him about his own child, and Harry smiled and said to himself, is this a mutual deception?

Just as Harry was about to say goodbye, Dumbledore suddenly said, "By the way, it's a pleasure that you can be friends with little Weasley and little Mr. Malfoy, but the conflict between Slytherin and Gryffindor has been bothering me for a long time. ”

Harry tilted his head, he didn't know whether the old man was true or false when he said this, the conflict between Slytherin and Gryffindor had indeed been a long time coming, and the intensification of the conflict began during the time of Lord Voldemort, but if Professor Dumbledore was troubled...... Harry really didn't see it.

Mycroft said that such a contradiction must be due to the inaction of the senior management, or taking sides, and Harry thought that the management of Hogwarts should be the old man in front of him, and he didn't know why the old man would let this situation continue, whether it was because he had not found a way to adjust it or for other reasons.

However, Harry said goodbye again and left Dumbledore's office.

It's only the first year, it's just getting started, and no matter what the whole school looks like, Harry will find a way to pull it together.

Harry was thinking to himself as he walked towards Gryffindor's dormitory, Dumbledore probably didn't want to get his own kid involved in such troubles, but he mentioned Malfoy and Weasley, a standard Gryffindor and Slytherin, and the two were like a contrast.

He also said that he was happy, but was this happiness real or false?

Harry can't be blamed for thinking so much, he's always been acting as a protector, he has to think that much more than everyone else.

Quirrell already knew he was being suspected, he had locked himself in his office outside of class, he was thinking about whether he should report it to Dumbledore, but the one with him was not so easy to fool, he had been in turmoil since he came back from the Forbidden Forest.

Quirrell didn't know what was going on, but it seemed to be related to Harry Potter, and the boy who didn't die had too many secrets in him.

The man in him wanted Harry's shell, which seemed to him to have a powerful magical power that could be used by him. But Quirrell didn't know why he had a visceral fear of Harry Potter, who looked to be only eleven years old.

Quirrell was actually a timid man, but no one would believe that he was innocent after all that point, after all, he was already tightly connected to that person, didn't he?

Quirrell looked at himself in the mirror and smiled, "Master, I'll get you what you want." ”

"I will give you the highest glory, my servant."

The voice was a little high-pitched, but it was a little low, Quirrell looked in the mirror with a ridiculous scarf on his head, there was a strange smell on his body, he was indeed being ridiculed, laughed at all the time, how many people would respect him?

Supreme...... In fact, he just wants to get back to his original self.

Quirrell had been waiting for an opportunity, a chance for Dumbledore to let go, he didn't know how much Dumbledore knew now, but the Forbidden Forest had been completely sealed off, and no one could go into it lightly, and the same was true of the place where the Philosopher's Stone was hidden.

But fortunately, the Philosopher's Stone is still at Hogwarts, and it was not given away.

Quirrell hadn't been bothering Harry lately, he was eager to huddle himself up and not be discovered, he could see that Harry's eyes were on him all the time, and that his master was extremely interested in Harry Potter.

Time flies, and the Hogwarts students finally enter the intense revision phase, and that's when Quirrell finally makes a move, not with the Philosopher's Stone but with Harry Potter.

His master thinks Harry Potter is a troublesome figure that needs to wait until the Philosopher's Stone is found, and he doesn't like Harry being so close to Slytherin and the children of his former servants, and he needs to cause some trouble for Harry.

A trouble that allowed him to be distracted.

And that trouble is between Ron Weasley and Draco Malfoy.

Quirrell knew a lot of things, such as Thor's awkward relationship with Ron, Harry and Draco's friendship, Weasley's dislike of Malfoy, etc., which were all good tools for him to use.

When an anonymous letter appeared in Ron's books, Ron first had a confrontation with Draco Malfoy.

I always thought that because of Harry in the middle, Draco and Ron belonged to Cheng DΓΉ who could still ignore each other, although Draco didn't like the Weasley family's youngest son, but for the sake of their family's partnership with Lestrade, he still rarely mentioned Ron or the Weasleys in front of Harry.

Ron complained, but after Hermione reminded Harry of the importance of Draco's friendship, it was all that was left to complain, who knew that such a sudden anonymous letter would make everything change dramatically.

The letter was simple, with only one idea, that is, Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter were friends to use Harry, and to use Harry's fame and Harry's friendship with him to grow his family step by step.

What Ron had always heard from his father about the Malfoys was their meanness and shamelessness, and they were Death Eaters who found a justifiable reason to clear their name, and even convinced the Ministry of Magic of believing them, and in the eyes of the head of the Weasley family, Lucius Malfoy was captured in Azkaban to enjoy the Dementors' kisses, not in his own mansion.

Ron didn't know what to say when he saw the letter, he was angry but couldn't take the letter to Harry, he knew Harry wouldn't believe it unless he was confronted face to face.

This time, Ron didn't even ask Hermione what to do, and went straight to Draco Malfoy.

Draco has always been an awkward person, if he has done something good, he will say that he has not done it, and if you accuse him of doing something bad, then he will admit it generously. It was as if Ron suddenly stood between him and Harry, loudly asking if he had been using Harry.

Draco looked up at Ron Weasley, to be honest he had never thought that way, Harry Potter didn't seem to him to be that easy to use, but since he was so inquisitive, Draco went along with his words.

"Yes and what, no and what? Weasley, do you still want to stand up for Potter? ”

Thor had always been in the background, but when Ron said this, he glanced at Draco, who would not let the boy go if he really used Harry. But Draco's expression looked like he was following Ron's words, and Thor immediately understood that Draco was awkward, just as Loki had sometimes.

"So you're really taking advantage of Harry's friendship, and Malfoy is really despicable."

Harry stopped Ron, "Ron, don't say that so badly. ”

It's okay if you just scold someone, but you can't even talk about his family, they have to understand that the family includes their siblings and parents.

"Okay, okay, I'm taking advantage of Harry Potter's friendship, who doesn't want to take advantage of such a big name as the boy who doesn't want to take advantage of it, don't sue me that you're not the little transparent of the Weasley family. Besides, I was able to give Harry Potter what he wanted, but the Malfoys had wireless resources available, unlike the poor Weasley. ”

Hermione ran over when she saw the argument here, and when she heard Ron and Draco's words, she silently took a step back, Draco Malfoy is going to be in full swing, she doesn't want to be cannon fodder under Draco's poisonous tongue, such a person will definitely make you half angry if she opens her mouth.

"Harry, did you hear that?! He admits to his use of you. ”

Ron tugged at Harry, he wanted Harry to hear what the boy in front of him had confessed.

Maybe Ron didn't know that Draco's words were false, but Harry knew that Thor and Hermione knew that Draco really hadn't used Harry for anything, at least not yet.

So Harry frowned and said to Draco, "Malfoy, say a few words, OK?" Then he said to Ron, "Ron, no matter where you hear this, I don't think it's true. ”

"Harry! He's already admitted it, do you still think it's fake? Did you know that the Malfoys are vile Death Eaters, and they all got into Azkaban! They're trying to use you to resurrect the Malfoy family. ”

Draco clenched his fists, the Death Eaters, the Despicable and the Azkaban and the exploitation, all of which pierced Draco's heart, he did have a use for Harry, but after all, it was a child who still invested a little bit in the end, he thought Harry was funny, he was smarter than the children of the pure-blood families he had come into contact with, and he was barely someone who could be Malfoy's friend.

He never thought of using it, let alone letting his family rise, joke when does his family need the help of outsiders?!

Ron dragged Harry to say something again, and Draco finally couldn't help it, if he didn't beat people up, Ron would probably be able to lower his family to the bottom of his parents, they were never good people, but they never wanted to be bad people who did all kinds of evil.

So for the first time, Draco swung his fist at Ron in front of Harry.
