Chapter 162: Music, I'll Rub

Just two days later, Malfoy's father, Lucius Malfoy, came to the school to trouble Li Quan.

Lucius-Malfoy protested that Li Quan should not take students to such a dangerous place as the Forbidden Forest, and as one of the school trustees, Lucius-Malfoy believed that Li Quan should not continue to be a professor.

The implication was that Hogwarts should expel Li Quan.

Li Quan ignored Lucius-Malfoy's threats and completely ignored the attitude. Just as he had thought, Dumbledore quickly stood up for him, and Dumbledore's words were very clear in favor of him.

"As a principal, I feel qualified to decide who goes and who stays. Until all the directors agreed that Professor Li was not qualified as a teacher, Professor Li would not go anywhere. "Dumbledore's words are still very useful, and no one would question Dumbledore's authority for such a trivial matter. After all, the supporters of Lucius Malfoy are only in the minority.

Therefore, Li Quan's position in the school is stable.

This is actually due to the high level of his "business". Dumbledore saw how much help Li Quan had brought to Hogwarts as a Potions professor.

In this year's OL, Hogwarts Seniors received high marks in almost all of the required Potions subjects, known as the "General Wizarding Grading Exam", which aims to allow students to test their knowledge and abilities in a specific subject area, and students will be awarded a Wizarding Rank Certificate in a specific subject area.

Li Quan's combination of potions and alchemy greatly broadened the minds of the senior students, who were even better at potions refining than the average adult wizard. Li Quan's contribution to this is obvious to all, and Dumbledore naturally sees it in his eyes.

In Dumbledore's opinion, it was rare for Hogwarts to have such a good teacher, and he would not have driven Li Quan away because of Lucius-Malfoy's few words.

The end result of this turmoil can only be Lucius Malfoy's angry departure.

With the end of the OL, so is the final exams at Hogwarts.

That afternoon, the three of Harry walked out of the examination room after their final exam, and walked along the stone path of the castle towards the hunting ground outside the castle.

"I've heard people say that final exams at Hogwarts are hard, but I think it's easy." Hermione said with a lighthearted smile.

Ron pouted and said, "It's only you who think so." He looked at Harry, who had been covering his forehead all the way, and asked with concern, "Are you alright, Harry?" ”

"My scars have been burning like fire." Harry said in pain as he put his hand over his forehead. His scars hurt so much throughout the exam that he didn't even do well.

"It's happened before." Hermione said.

"I haven't hurt that much." Harry said.

"I'd better take you to the school doctor." Ron suggested.

Harry shook his head, "I think it's a warning, that there's danger. I have a hunch that something bad is about to happen......"

"Sounds like Professor Trelawney." Hermione said.

They came out of the castle to the hunting grounds, and at first glance they saw Hagrid chopping wood at the door of his hut, and Hagrid seemed to be in a good mood, humming a little tune. Thanks to Li Quan's help, he left his dragon Norber behind, gave him a home in the Forbidden Forest, and became good neighbors with his other pet, the eight-eyed spider Aragog.

When Harry saw Hagrid, he immediately realized, "I see! ”

"What's wrong?" Hermione looked at him strangely.

Harry walked briskly towards Hagrid's hut and said to the two men who followed him, "Don't you think it's strange that Hagrid has always wanted to raise dragons, and suddenly a stranger with dragon eggs appeared, how many people do you think will carry dragon eggs around?" Why didn't I think about it sooner......" At this point, the three of them have changed from walking to running.

They raced up to Hagrid, and Harry asked, "Hagrid!" Who gave you that dragon egg? What does he look like? ”

"Oh, Harry, it's you." Hagrid smiled and replied, "I don't know, I didn't see his face clearly." He had been covered with a cloak. ”

"You've always talked to this stranger, haven't you?" Harry asked.

Hagrid put down the huge axe he had used to chop wood and stood there for a moment. "Hmm...... He asked me what animals I had raised, and I told him that after raising Maomao, even raising dragons would never be a problem. ”

"Is he interested in Maomao?" Harry then asked.

"Of course he's very interested in Maomao, and it's not always the case that you see three giant dogs, not even rare animal dealers!" Hagrid looked proud, and he said, "But I told him that the secret to taming the beast is to calm it down, and in the case of Maomao, play music to it, and it will fall asleep......"

The three of Harry all looked at each other, and they could see the urgency in each other's eyes.

Hagrid only came to his senses at this time, and he hurriedly covered his mouth: "Uh, I said again, I missed my mouth, these things should not be told to you......"

However, he was only halfway through his sentence, and all three of Harry had already run away. Hagrid shouted from behind, "Where are you going?" Where do you go? The figures of the three quickly entered the castle.

The three of them ran through the castle corridors as fast as they could, and in the Transfiguration classroom, they finally found Professor McGonagall, who was writing something at her desk.

Harry came up to Professor McGonagall out of breath and hurriedly said, "We want to see Professor Dumbledore!" Without further ado! ”

Professor McGonagall glanced at the three of them strangely through her reading glasses, as if wondering why the three little ones were in such a hurry. She replied to Harry, "It's a pity Professor Dumbledore isn't here. The Ministry of Magic sent an owl to deliver an urgent message to him, and he immediately set off for London. ”

"What? He's gone? Harry said anxiously. After a moment's silence, he said to Ron and Hermione, "Then let's go find Professor Lee......"

But Professor McGonagall said behind them, "I'm afraid Professor Lee isn't in the castle right now." This morning, Professor Lee also received a letter asking for leave of absence from Hogwarts for urgent matters. ”

The three of them looked at each other for a moment, their faces full of surprise.

Harry had no choice but to be honest with McGonagall, "But we have something important about the Philosopher's Stone. ”

Professor McGonagall's face changed as she looked at Harry solemnly and asked, "How do you know ......?"

"Someone wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone!" Harry said directly.

Professor McGonagall looked even more surprised, and she groaned for a long time. But after a while, she said, "I don't know how you guys will know about the Philosopher's Stone, but I can assure you that this matter has been kept strictly secret, and the Philosopher's Stone is safe. Let's go back to the dormitory. Also, don't say it. ”

Apparently, Professor McGonagall didn't really believe the words of the three children.

The three of them had to leave with disappointed faces.

After coming out of the Transfiguration classroom, Harry said to Ron and Hermione, "The man Hagrid met was none other than Snape. He knows how to get past Maomao's level! ”

"Neither Dumbledore nor Professor Lee are there...... This is definitely no coincidence. Hermione said with a serious look on her face.

Harry was about to say something more when a cold voice came from behind the three of them, unhurried, "Good afternoon." ”

As soon as the three of them heard this voice, their faces immediately collapsed. They turned to see Snape, dressed in a wide black wizard's robe, looking them up and down with his sinister gaze.

Snape still had the same unhurried and annoying tone that had not changed for thousands of years: "You three Gryffindor House children, the weather is so good, why haven't you gone out to play?" ”

"We ...... We're just ......" Hermione was speechless.

Snape didn't wait for her to finish, and snorted coldly and said, "You guys be careful with me. You are so sneaky, others may think that you are playing some bad idea......" After speaking, Shi Shiran walked away.

It wasn't until Snape's figure disappeared across the hallway that the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Hermione asked in a low voice, "What do we do now?" ”

Harry resolutely said, "Let's go down through the trapdoor, and we'll go tonight!" He was referring to the trapdoor that led to the underground chamber guarded by the three-headed dog, and all the answers were underneath.

The three of them whispered the details of the night's operations as they gradually left the hallway. Neither the three of them, nor Snape, who had just crept in, hadn't noticed, and in the garden next to the hallway, a shadow flowed silently. The invisibility potion will not completely make Li Quan completely invisible, but it will greatly mislead others' vision.

Li Quan had been hiding and following Harry and the three, who had not noticed him at all. Yes, he didn't leave at all, the "urgent letter to take him away" was for everyone to see, and he needed to make alibi evidence of what happened next in order to take the Philosopher's Stone. Dumbledore was summoned away by an urgent message from the Ministry of Magic, but it was forged by Voldemort in order to divert the tiger from the mountain. He would use it as an excuse afterwards, and no one would suspect it. Voldemort had already carried the pot for him once, and Li Quan didn't mind letting him carry it again.

When he saw Harry and the others go looking for McGonagall, he knew that the time had come. The school year was coming to an end, and Harry would face Voldemort for the first time. As for the Philosopher's Stone, it's time for him to get it.

Nightfall......

The three of them cloaked in invisibility cloaks and sneakily walked through the dark corridors of the castle. The cloak of invisibility was a mysterious Christmas gift Harry received at Christmas. It made the person wearing it invisible, which was a great convenience for Harry at one point.

They followed the forbidden route demarcated by the school to the room where the three giant dogs were locked in the corridor on the third floor. Hermione chanted a spell to unlock the door, and the three cautiously walked in, only to find that the three giant dogs were already asleep, and their huge bodies like small mountains were lying quietly on the ground. Nearby, someone placed a magical harp, and the harp was playing a beautiful piece of music automatically.

The three of them glanced at each other. Harry lowered his voice and said, "Snape has already arrived, and he has put a spell on the harp. ”

"Uh, it stinks......" Ron said, pinching his nose. The three giant dogs purred in waves, like a bass trio, and slammed into their faces again and again with a violent bad breath.

The trio approached with their feet and noticed a large fluffy dog paw pressed right above the trapdoor where they were going.

"We've got to move it out of the way." Harry said.

The three of them then carefully worked together to remove the dog's paws, but they did not dare to make a noise, and the dog's paws were heavy, which made the three of them quite troubled.

Wiping the sweat from his face, Harry looked at the dark entrance that opened and said, "I'll go down first, and then you can come down when I signal you." If things don't go well, run for your lives and leave me alone. ”

At this, Harry suddenly stopped. He listened quietly and asked, "Do you think it's too quiet......

Hermione suddenly said, "It's a harp!" The music stopped ......"

At this moment, a large drop of viscous liquid landed on Ron's shoulder. Ron was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at it, and suddenly almost vomited in disgust: "Ah, it's disgusting! ”

The three of them looked up slowly...... I saw that the three giant dogs had woken up at some point, and the three heads and three pairs of eyes were staring at them with a fierce light.

"Ah, jump!" Ron shouted, and he jumped down the pitch-black entrance first.

The three giant dogs pounced, and Harry and Hermione couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly jumped down, and Harry was almost caught.

The three of them screamed in unison and fell downward. The three of them thought they would fall to their deaths, but when they fell, they fell on some soft plants one after another, but their buttocks hurt a little.

"Luckily, we had this plant to catch us." Ron said with a look of rejoicing.

Before he could finish speaking, the plants under them suddenly squirmed, and they saw black vines quickly wrapping around them like tentacles, and in a moment the three of them were tightly wrapped into zongzi, making it difficult for them to even breathe.

The three of them struggled violently, trying to get out, but the black vines on their bodies became tighter and tighter.

Hermione thought of something, and she shouted, "Don't struggle, it's the devil's net, the more you struggle, the tighter it wraps up!" ”

However, Harry and Ron were in a state of panic, they were still struggling desperately, and the plants on their bodies were getting tighter and tighter, and Harry felt like he was about to suffocate.

At the same time, Li Quan followed the three of them and came to the trapdoor. At this moment, the three giant dogs had already woken up, and when they found Li Quan walking in, they immediately roared and bit Li Quan.

Li Quan's body was light and dodged, dodging the three mouths - because there were three heads. Then he took out his phone, of course he knew how to deal with the three-headed dog, let's make a tune.

He pressed play, but the music played: "You-is-I-the-little apple!" ”

The three giant dogs not only did not fall asleep when they heard this, but became more and more crazy, and the three heads bit Li Quan fiercely, as if they hated this mobile phone more than Li Quan himself.

"I'll rub!" Li Quan's face turned green. Who stores this music? He didn't even know he had the Divine Comedy on his phone.
