Chapter 64: "Sky-high" Bounty (Second Update, Ask for Subscription)

The night was dark, but the Gryffindor common room was still partying.

To celebrate their first victory, Fred and George disappeared for two hours, returning with bottles of butterbeer, hissing pumpkin juice and bags of candy from Duke Honey's Shop.

The two also invited William, Cedric, and Cho.

For this kind of rubbing and drinking, William of course they will not refuse.

"So Hagrid mentioned the name 'Nicol Lemay'?"

Sitting in the corner of the Gryffindor lounge, William took a sip of a cup of black tea.

"Yes, Hagrid also said that it was a pact between Professor Dumbledore and Nicolamay." Harry replied.

"And, the day Hagrid and I went to the vault to retrieve something for Dumbledore, and Gringotts was stolen."

William rubbed his eyebrows, he basically understood the whole thing.

From the available information: Nicol gave something to Dumbledore, and Dumbledore kept it in the vault.

After Hagrid took it, the black-robed wizard went to snatch it, and William happened to run into them.

Dumbledore then laid out the level to hide the thing in.

So the black-robed wizard is Quirrell?

But Quirrell didn't look like such a powerful dark wizard.

Or, if he really had the strength of that night at Gringotts, Dumbledore wouldn't have let him stay at school.

William faced the black robe head-on, clearly knowing the terrifying strength of the other party.

Could it be ...... Quirrell was controlled by the Black Robe with the Imperius Curse, or was he the Black Robe's henchman?

It's all possible.

"Who is Nicol Lemay? You still haven't told us. Ron asked.

Harry also looked at William curiously, trying not to get his attention, and focused on Cho next to Diggory.

William looked at Hermione strangely, "You didn't tell them?" ”

Both Harry and Ron looked at Hermione.

Hermione blushed and argued, "Before he left, Mr. Lemay told me not to tell anyone about him. ”

Harry and Ron's eyes widened, "You know Nicol Lemay?" ”

"Of course I do." Cedric was playing with the cards with Autumn when he looked back and smiled, "William and Mr. Lemay have been talking for months!" ”

"Well, we're barely counting...... Pen pal. William explained.

The statement of pen pal is inaccurate, and the teacher-student relationship is appropriate, and the other party instructed William a lot about alchemy.

But in order to avoid trouble, William certainly can't say.

Not to mention Gringotts, at least not to Harry and Ron, who promised Fudge to keep it a secret.

In fact, William only told Cedric, Cho and the twins about the Gringotts incident, which were all his best friends and would not be leaked.

As for Hermione, she was the one who had experienced it, and she knew it.

"I have a book about Nicolame in my dorm, I'm going to show it to you." Hermione hurried away.

Ron felt uncomfortable sitting in front of William and the others, and after a while he hurriedly pulled Harry to bring some drinks.

Harry glanced at Cho reluctantly, then left.

Hermione ran out of the dorm room, saw Harry and Ron eating snacks, walked over, quickly flipped the thick book in her hand, and handed it to the two of them.

The two were dumbfounded after reading it, Nicolame's resume was terrible.

"It must be Lemay's Philosopher's Stone! I'm sure LeMay asked Dumbledore to keep it for him, because they were friends, and he knew someone was playing with the idea of the Philosopher's Stone.

That's why he transferred the Philosopher's Stone from Gringotts. Harry said.

"A stone can turn into gold, and it can make you immortal, no wonder Quirrell is also playing with its idea, everyone would want to get it!" Ron said enviously.

"If I get the Philosopher's Stone, I'll buy my own Quidditch team."

"By the way, how did Hermione know Nicolame?" Harry wondered.

"During the summer vacation, William ...... Sick, he came to see William. Hermione explained vaguely.

Nicol also explained that he couldn't tell anyone about Gringotts.

"By the way, I can ask Mr. Lemay if the thing he lent to Professor Dumbledore is the Philosopher's Stone." Hermione said suddenly.

"What, can you contact Lemay?" Harry and Ron looked at each other.

"I can't be contacted, only William, but ......" Hermione smiled sweetly, "But Mr. Lemay invited the two of us to his six-hundred-and sixty-fifth birthday party at Christmas." ”

"What?" Ron's eyes erupted with envy.

He wants to go too!

Not far away, William told Cedric and Autumn about his conjecture.

Cedric asked in a whisper, "Could it be the Philosopher's Stone?" ”

William shook his head: "It's hard to say, Mr. Lemay has too many good things, who knows what it will be?" ”

"But whatever it is, I'm more curious about something now."

"What's the matter?"

"What the hell is hidden under Quirrell's scarf?"

Quirrell had been wearing a scarf around his head, what he had thought was a quirk, but now it seemed that there was something hidden.

You know, he didn't even want to remove the scarf when he was on fire.

"It's easy." Cedric smirked. "We can issue a bounty at the school."

"That's right." William immediately understood, and he also smiled, "Just offer a reward for what is under Professor Quirrell's scarf." ”

"It's not easy for students to make a move on professors." Qiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "How much bounty are you planning to give?" ”

"Fifty Galleons." William thought for a moment.

"This price will drive a lot of students crazy!"

Ahh

In the Defence Against the Dark Arts office, Professor Quirrell tightened his robes, feeling as if he had caught a cold

"Damn Snape, he poured cold water on me." Quirrell cursed inwardly.

But it doesn't matter if you sneeze, the "spicy man" on the back of the head suddenly felt that his face was being pulled, and the injury was even more serious.

"Idiot!" A shrill voice sounded, and Quirrell began to tremble.

"Hurry up and give me a scalding potion!" A shrill voice commanded.

Quirrell lifted the potion on the table and handed it to the back of his head.

Where it should have been the back of Quirrell's head, there was a face that was dead white as chalk, red eyes glowing, and two long nostrils as slender as snakes underneath.

The most terrifying thing is that there are countless red spots and bubbles on that face, all of which are burned.

The man opened his mouth and took a big sip, but before he could swallow it, he immediately spit it out, and said sharply:

"What's in this potion? Why does it taste so ...... Disgusting? ”

Chiloh shuddered.

This was the potion he had asked for from Pomfrey, how could he add something strange?
