Chapter 496: Thinking about it is extremely scary
Soon after, Harry finally woke up from his coma and learned the truth from Dumbledore. Afterwards, he didn't forget to share the thrilling story with his two friends.
Harry also learned something from Hermione and Ron about what had happened afterwards.
When the two of them hurriedly left the dungeon and were about to send a letter to Headmaster Dumbledore to report the situation here, they met Dumbledore who had just returned from the Ministry of Magic outside the restricted area corridor on the fourth floor.
Actually, both Hermione and Ron were in a hurry.
How could it be too late to send a letter to the principal at that time?
By the time Dumbledore received the letter and rushed back to Hogwarts School, it would have been a few hours later, not to mention stopping Quirrell, Harry Potter's corpse would have been cold.
Fortunately, Dumbledore came back "early", otherwise it would have been too late.
Hermione lowered her voice and said to the two of them, "I think Headmaster Dumbledore did it on purpose for you to do this. ”
"You're saying he gave Harry the Cloak of Invisibility on purpose to lead Harry to do that?" Ron was shocked and couldn't understand why Headmaster Dumbledore was doing this.
"If that's the case — it's terrible — I mean you're probably going to be killed. There was a hint of unease in Hermione's tone.
After this incident, Hermione realized that Albert was actually right, the Philosopher's Stone was really safe, and it had been most closely protected by Headmaster Dumbledore from the beginning, otherwise how could the Headmaster appear at the right time?
There are not so many coincidences in the world.
There's no way Quirrell could have stolen the Philosopher's Stone.
"I think Dumbledore probably wanted to give me a chance. Harry frowned and said what he thought, "He knows more or less what is going on, and may even know what we are going to do, but instead of stopping us, he secretly teaches us many useful things. ”
"Why did the Headmaster do that?" Hermione thought to herself, and came up with an immature answer, the Headmaster might be exercising Harry, if Voldemort was still alive, then ......
If it weren't for the time spent with Albert, Hermione might not have been aware of these problems, but when you think about it, a lot of things can be figured out.
Some of the things Harry did could have been led by Dumbledore.
It was no accident that they were asked to go to the Forbidden Forest to help Hagrid find the injured unicorn.
Hermione had checked the school's records, and Hogwarts schools were closed in many ways, but the professors would never joke with the lives of their students.
"Actually......" Ron hesitated for a moment, but then said, "I think Albert probably knows most things." ”
"Albert?" Harry asked, confused, "Why do you say that?" ”
"Don't forget, he was the one who told us about Nicol Lemay and the Philosopher's Stone. ”
Ron picked up the candy piled up on the table and handed it to Harry and Hermione before unwrapping the chocolate himself, taking a bite and saying, "You don't know, George said that he had already gone through the magic level assigned by the professors a long time ago. ”
Harry's mouth was open in shock, not knowing what to say.
"You didn't tell me. Hermione glared at Ron a little angrily.
"Actually, I only found out today. Ron reached out and scratched his head and explained, "Lowe is gone, and many of the students are trying to venture through the trapdoor and below. ”
"A lot of people?"
"A lot of people," Ron said earnestly, "but the vast majority of the students were blocked by Professor McGonagall's giant chessboard. I heard that a few students who tried to break in were also injured a little because of it. ”
Speaking of which, Ron was still a little proud.
"And then?"
"I saw that Fred and George didn't venture out with the others, and I know both of them better than you do. If it had been before, they would not have given up such an opportunity. The expression on Ron's face was complicated, "Guess what they say." ”
"How?" asked Hermione
"He said we've made it. Ron reminded, "The dog only disappeared today, and, don't forget, Albert knows how to get through Lowe, and I'm not surprised that they were able to get through those levels." ”
Hermione agreed with Ron, saying that she didn't think the magic trap she could break through would stop Albert as a genius.
Hermione even suspected that Albert had already guessed that Quirrell was the thief, and his assessment of Snape had always been that he didn't look like a good person.
Harry was silent, he had actually asked Dumbledore before, and the Headmaster only said that Albert knew Nicol Lemay, and that they kept in touch by letter.
"By the way, Harry, you missed the last Quidditch match. ”
Ron's words made Harry feel a pang in his heart, he knew that he was the only Seeker on the team, and if he was lost......
Harry thought that before he was stunned by Ron's words.
"Still, we won the Quidditch trophy, and Albert came on in your place and managed to capture the Golden Snitch. ”
"That's really amazing. A smile appeared on Harry's stiff face, he knew that Wood had always wanted to lead Gryffindor House to victory, and Harry couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief to hear Albert finish for him, he would feel guilty if he caused Gryffindor to miss the trophy because of himself.
"Of course, Slytherin still finished first, you know, because of that time, we were completely out of the House Cup. Ron said regretfully.
"Don't worry. Hermione said suddenly, "I heard Albert say that this year's House Cup belongs to Gryffindor. ”
"Do you believe we can win the House Cup?"
"Well, I believe Albert's words. ”
Actually, in the past, Hermione didn't believe this kind of nonsense, but if the person who spoke had prophetic powers, why might as well believe it?
Anyway, I don't suffer.
In the brief time she spent talking to Albert, Hermione saw so much incredible in that genius.
For the next few days, while Harry was still recuperating in his hospital bed, Hagrid brought him a photo album full of Harry's family, crying and apologizing to him.
Harry was happy with the album, he didn't have any pictures of his own family.
With Madam Pomfrey's permission, Harry was finally discharged from the hospital to attend the end-of-year party. And also witnessed a dramatic scene, the Slytherin House, which was temporarily leading, was turned into second place by Dumbledore's extra point operation, and Gryffindor, who was at the bottom, inexplicably turned defeat into victory and won the final victory of the House Cup.
As for Harry, the savior who defeated Quirrell and saved the Philosopher's Stone, and became the hero of Gryffindor House, those unpleasant memories were quickly forgotten.
At this moment, Snape was shaking hands with Professor McGonagall at the guest of honor, and everyone was surprised to find that the expression on Professor Potions' face was so wonderful that people wanted to find a camera to capture this scene.
The end-of-year dinner ended with laughter, at least for the Gryffindor students.
