Chapter 212: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada, and the Yellow Sparrow Follows
Ever since the invasion on Halloween Eve, Hogwarts has been on high alert, and everyone has a string on their minds.
Who knew that for more than a month after that, the school was calm and quiet, and nothing happened, as if the previous invasion was just a tribute to the fans of the movie, which made many people, including Ron and Hermione, gradually put their minds at ease.
It wasn't until Christmas came, when Harry actually received an invisibility cloak, that they suddenly remembered the plot from the movie, so they sneaked into the forbidden area on the fourth floor together at night.
This time, instead of breaking into the secret room as in the movies, they hide in the corner of the forbidden place with their cloaks on, ready to wait for someone to come in and then run to report to the professors.
The silence of the space made Ron feel a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but ask, "Harry, are you sure someone will come tonight?" ”
Harry: "I'm not sure if anyone will come tonight, but tonight is the best chance to steal the Philosopher's Stone." ”
"Why?"
"Because Headmaster Dumbledore isn't here. I met Professor Chino at noon, and he told me that the Headmaster had been notified by the Ministry of Magic that he had rushed to London. ”
As soon as Harry finished speaking, Hermione added, "It's not just the headmaster, the school is closed for Christmas, and some professors are not there, and now is the time when the school's defenses are at their weakest. ”
Ron: "In that case, do you think the Headmaster will leave the Philosopher's Stone elsewhere before he leaves?" ”
Harry: "It's possible, but I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, what if the headmaster is negligent and forgets to go too quickly?" ”
"If you want me to say, even if the headmaster didn't leave, the Philosopher's Stone shouldn't be here, and the people who want to steal the Philosopher's Stone are all aiming here, how could the headmaster be stupid enough to really put it here? What's more, it was already ...... some time ago"
As he spoke, Ron suddenly shut up as Harry tugged at him, and Hermione put her index finger to her mouth in a "shhh
In the silence, footsteps rang out, and they approached.
The three of them held their breath, so nervous that their hearts almost stopped.
Unexpectedly, Harry guessed correctly, and someone really took the opportunity to steal the Philosopher's Stone!
At this moment, the three of them were excited, and they were all secretly guessing who it was.
It's okay if it's an ordinary wizard, but if it's Voldemort and the Death Eaters, Dumbledore isn't there, and I don't know if the professor who stayed at the school can beat it?
Otherwise, let Harry give Voldemort a set of eighteen touches like in the movie, and he will be weak to resist by touching him?
However, what they never expected was that it was none other than ......
Malfoy?
Harry and the three looked at each other, almost screaming.
Yes, it was none other than Draco Malfoy, and his two henchmen, Crabbe and Goyle.
Malfoy follows the film's prompts, opens a door, and creeps in, taking Crabbe and Goyle with him.
Inside is a room, in which a three-headed dog is sleeping on the ground, and there is a movable wooden board in front of the three-headed dog, which opens to the entrance to the secret room.
Malfoy glanced around and saw that there were no musical instruments left around, even the movable planks were in place, as if they had not been moved.
He took out a magic music box from his bosom, activated it and handed it to Crabbe, asking Crabbe to put it in front of the three-headed dog Luwe, and by the way, to test whether the big dog would really be hypnotized by the music.
Crabbe didn't dare to go, and made an excuse and said, "Master Malfoy, you see that there are no musical instruments here, and the entrance has not been opened, could it be that Harry Potter didn't go in?" Or ......"
Malfoy urged, "Hurry up! Harry Potter and they are not in the dormitory, they must be here! ”
Before, Professor Chino instigated him to break into the secret room and take out the Philosopher's Stone, although he was tempted, but he couldn't hold it back.
It wasn't until today that he found out that Harry had been given an invisibility cloak and was not in the dormitory after dark, and realized that the other party had gone to the secret room, so he hurriedly followed.
He couldn't sit still at the thought of Harry Potter becoming the hero who kept the Philosopher's Stone and defeated Voldemort again, just like in the movies.
As Professor Chino said, reality is not a movie, no one is born to be a protagonist, who is born to be a supporting role, what Harry Potter can do, he can do too!
As for Crabbe's statement that no one entered the secret room at the scene, it must be that Harry Potter deliberately disguised it like this, so that people would not be suspicious.
However, Crabbe still didn't dare to go: "Master Malfoy, doesn't Harry Potter have an invisibility cloak, do you think he will not go down and hide nearby?" ”
Malfoy was taken aback, and looked around a little annoyed: "What is hidden nearby, and he doesn't know that we are behind, what are we doing here?" Hurry up, are you going or not? ”
"Go! Go! I'll go! ”
Under Malfoy's persecution, Crabbe had to walk up to the big dog with a bitter face, but luckily the music box worked, and until he put the music box down, the big dog showed no signs of waking up.
Malfoy tentatively walked over and jumped off the plank.
……
Outside, Harry waited for Malfoy to leave before he spoke again.
Harry looked confused: "How could it be them?" ”
Ron nodded in agreement, "yes, how could it be Malfoy?" Their family hates Muggles the most, and they certainly wouldn't steal the Philosopher's Stone for the Muggle rich. Could it be that he was possessed by Voldemort? ”
Hermione rolled her eyes: "There are so many people in the school, what is Voldemort doing with him?" It is better to possess him, than to possess Professor Chino! ”
Harry said, "It shouldn't be him." Didn't you say that in the movie, when I met Voldemort, the scar on my forehead hurt? Nothing happened just now. ”
Ron: "Maybe the movie is fake?" ”
Harry: "......"
It is they who open their mouths and close their mouths to say that the movie is fake, and they are also the ones who say that the movie is fake from time to time, and they dare to love his movie of the same name, which is a urinal, take it out when you want to use it, and kick it away if you don't want to use it?
Or is Hermione, the top student, the most focused: "The key now is, what are we going to do to report to Professor McGonagall as originally planned?" ”
"No way!" Ron flatly vetoed, "If it's an adult wizard, we'll report it normally, but Malfoy ...... If we go to the professor, others will think that we are afraid of him. Will you be afraid of him? ”
"Joke! I'll be afraid of him? Hermione sneered, Ron, a scumbag, was not afraid of the other party, she would be afraid.
At this point, Harry interjected, "You say, will Malfoy and them be like us, guessing that someone might be stealing the Philosopher's Stone tonight, so come and protect them?" ”
Hermione: "Just him?" Protecting the Philosopher's Stone? If he wants to protect the Philosopher's Stone, why is he spying on us? Didn't you hear him say that he secretly followed us because he knew we weren't in the dormitory? ”
Ron thought for a moment, lowered his voice and said, "Let me tell you one thing, Malfoy's grandfather was a Death Eater, and his father was a Death Eater as well. ”
"What!"
Harry and Hermione were shocked, and if that was true, they couldn't let the Philosopher's Stone fall into Malfoy's hands.
They must chase it in immediately, immediately, now, to stop Malfoy from getting close to the Philosopher's Stone!
