Chapter 58: Deception
The water wrapped around the Philosopher's Stone and flowed in the sewers, and Li Lin controlled the flow of water in the direction of the Ravenclaw Tower. That's more troublesome.
After all, it wasn't like being in a school corridor in the sewers, and it was difficult for Li Lin to distinguish the direction, and he didn't have the help of a live map.
So I made a mistake many times in a row before I finally judged the location of the Ravenclaw Tower. By this time, it had already taken a lot of time.
Li Lin concentrated on controlling the Philosopher's Stone and moved towards the Ravenclaw lounge, but suddenly felt a cold touch on his face, which was obviously the reaction of his body.
This stimulation caused Li Lin's consciousness to fluctuate, and he lost control of the water flow in an instant, which caused the few pieces of magic stone fragments to fall to the ground and fall to a room covered with books and dust after leaving the shackles of the water flow.
Remembering the approximate location of the room, Li Lin's meaning returned to the main body.
The bed is soft, the air nearby is fragrant, and there is also a unique smell that can only be found in hospitals.
"Have you already arrived at Madam Pomfrey?"
Thinking like this, Li Lin opened his eyes.
The first thing that came into view was a pair of bright eyes like stars, and the eyes were full of tears, and when the tears fell, Li Lin also understood the touch on his face before.
"Hermione."
Instinctively, he called out to the owner of the eyes.
"Lin, too, great, you're finally awake."
Hermione hurriedly wiped away a handful of tears, and she stood up happily, with a heartfelt smile on her face. Li Lin smiled lightly, but his heart was sobbing and aching.
Is it because you deceived the person who least wanted to deceive? Or is it worrying the people you want to protect the most?
Li Lin couldn't tell what he was feeling, so he could only clumsily wipe her tears for Hermione, take her hand, and let her sit on the edge of the bed.
"Hermione, I'm fine."
Hermione held Li Lin's hand tightly and didn't speak all the time, just stared at Li Lin all the time, with worry in her eyes, but more blame.
Facing Hermione's gaze, Li Lin had countless words to explain and used to deceive, and he couldn't say a word.
It wasn't until Dumbledore entered the infirmary that he coughed deliberately, so frightened that Hermione quickly let go of Li Lin's hand and jumped off the bed.
In this regard, Li Lin was very dissatisfied.
"Headmaster Dumbledore."
"Oh, Miss Granger, it looks like I might be bothering you."
Dumbledore smiled and blinked, this sentence made Hermione blush, and she ran out of the medical room almost without looking back, which caused Li Lin to face Dumbledore alone.
"Headmaster, that person ......"
"Shhhhh
Deng Liduo smiled, and he sat down on the side of Li Lin's bed.
"I've always known that you're very good, just like your mother, your father, they were always the pride of the academy in school."
Dumbledore complimented Li Lin's parents, and then asked what he wanted to know.
"Can you tell me how you managed to get that guy to break his wand, and as far as I know, by the time he attacked Harry Potter, he was out of wands."
Dumbledore had a smile on his face, but his eyes were so sharp. As a white wizard who has lived for so many years, he has fought against two Dark Lords, and his intuition and experience can easily lead him to find suspicious points.
"I, I broke his wand."
Li Lin said. He couldn't just tell Dumbledore all the answers he had already thought of, Dumbledore just asked, and Li Lin explained everything, and there were no flaws, which made it even more suspicious. In this surveillance city of Hogwarts, once the headmaster suspects it, then there will be no action for the next few years.
"Break?"
Dumbledore frowned.
"You are a hero, and both Ravenclaw and Hogwarts are proud of you. But you're still a kid, and that man is so terrifying, how can you hit his wand? ”
Dumbledore paused.
"Well, I think, having seen the horror of that man, you should understand what kind of place we are facing? So do you mind if I recreate the scene through your memories? This can deepen our understanding of him and will allow us to really defeat that person. ”
Of course I mind, Li Lin roared in his heart, he actually added a truth vomit to the food, such a delusion of victimization, such a neuroticism, no wonder Tom Riddle, after entering Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as an 11-year-old student, was suspected by Dumbledore and targeted everywhere because of his much better talent than his peers. He eventually metamorphosed into Voldemort, and Dundedon also has a part to do.
However, in the face of Dumbledore's request, Li Lin just pretended to be embarrassed, and then nodded in agreement.
He sat up from the bed, and since his wand was damaged, he took out his staff, a length that forced Dumbledore to get up and retreat. Li Lin used his magic staff, pointed at his temple, and pulled out the memory that had already been modified.
In this process, it was not the staff that played the role of casting spells, but Li Lin himself. In fact, he could draw this memory even with his finger to his temple, but this "process" had to be shown to Dumbne.
Dumbledore got this memory, and he smiled and informed Li Lin of a piece of news.
"That's right, Mr. Lovegood. Your scooter, although not considered a broomstick, is also considered a violation of the rules of the first grade, so Ravenclaw deducts 50 points. ”
With that, he turned and left.
Li Lin lay down on the bed again, he didn't feel anything about being deducted, Ravenclaw's current score, even if he was deducted 100 points, was still the first in the Academy Cup.
Hermione came in from outside the infirmary.
There was a silence at first, and then Hermione deliberately grimaced, asking about Li Lin's experience after she left.
In the face of Hermione's inquiry, Li Lin smiled, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart when he deceived Hermione, and depicted the scene in his memory that he had modified.
"After you went to Professor Dumbledore, Quirrell, well, it was the mysterious man who smashed the wall right in front of me and walked up to me."
Hermione gasped, and she said nervously.
"Doesn't the dark tunnel move at any time? How did the mystery man find you? ”
"It's because of the spell of the name, as long as you call him by his name, he will sense it."
Li Lin explained and continued.
"At that time, the mystery man was still Professor Quirrell, but then the mystery man came out of Professor Quirrell's body, and he said that he was resurrected using the Philosopher's Stone."
Speaking of which, Li Lin's face was a little unsightly, after all, that kind of bloody scene was still very scary.
"After the mystery man was resurrected, Professor Quirrell died, but the mystery man did not kill me, he came to me and asked me to make a prophecy for him. Prophecy about him and Harry Potter. ”
"I pretended to agree to him, under the pretext that I had prophesied that I would need to drink a specific potion to stabilize my spirit. Otherwise, you will fall into a coma because you are not old enough. But I actually took out the potion, which Professor Snape had made, and he called it a knight's potion. ”
Hermione suddenly realized that she had read all the novels that Li Lin had written on "Singing and Singing", and understood the effects of the knight's potion.
"The mystery man checked the potion, but it was newly developed, and he couldn't tell what it was, he just put a spell on it, tested the potion, and after confirming that he was not in danger, he let me take it."
"Then I drank the knight's potion, and my strength increased greatly, and at that time, I still had some courage. Directly broke his wand. ”
Speaking of this, Li Lin paused, and fear flashed in his eyes.
"Then he lost his wand, and Voldemort cast a spell to fight me without a wand, although my level was not bad, but there was a difference between me and him, and after fighting for a while, he turned and left, as if there was something in a hurry, probably Headmaster Dumbledore had returned. Then as soon as I relaxed, I fainted. ”
Hermione immediately leaned forward and squeezed Li Lin's hand.
"Lin, it's fine."
Li Lin rested his head on his shoulder, burying his expression in the shadows, and his peripheral vision saw that on the portrait in the medical room, the portrait that was originally sitting there had disappeared.
In this way, Li Lin lay in the medical room for a while. It wasn't until Madam Pomfrey returned to the infirmary and examined him again that she finally got the assurance of leaving the infirmary.
As a result, Li Lin, who was proven to be healthy, did not get Hermione's preferential treatment. Hermione was a little angry, and the reaction was amazing.
And Li Lin knew that he was at a loss, so he naturally treated him gently.
The school's parting dinner was held in the evening, and it was still a long time, so Li Lin and Hermione returned to the common room first.
Along the way, I met many students because of the previous explosion, and the sudden cold. I was already full of curiosity. Seeing Li Lin wearing a tattered robe, he naturally understood who the person concerned was, and instantly swarmed over, surrounded Li Lin, and asked nonsense.
Li Lin hurriedly explained a few perfunctory words, and then pulled Hermione back to the lounge. He went back to his bedroom to change his clothes.
In fact, while changing clothes, Li Lin's consciousness once again controlled the flow of water and entered the sewers, looking for the room where the Philosopher's Stone had fallen earlier.
Because it was nearby, Li Lin quickly found it, but when Li Lin compared him with the building in his mind, he found that the location of this room was actually Ravenclaw to the lounge.
But the problem was that the Ravenclaw lounge was crowded, the fireplace was still burning, and there were books and dusty places.
"So, this is a secret room? Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets? ”
Such a thought flashed through Li Lin's heart, but today was the day he left the school, and he didn't have time to carefully investigate, how to find this secret room, how to enter this secret room.
The mess caused by Siberia is still waiting for him to deal with it. And the school dinner is about to be held.
