Chapter 49: Action
"Professor, I think—I know—Snee—someone is trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoI have to talk to Professor Dumbledore. Professor McGonagall looked at them with a mixture of surprise and suspicion.
"Professor Dumbledore will be back tomorrow." She finally said, "I don't know how you found out about the Philosopher's Stone, but rest assured, no one can steal it, it's heavily guarded and foolproof. ”
"But the Professor—"
"Potter, I know what I'm talking about." She said impatiently, and with a wave of her wand, the book flew back into her arms, "I suggest you go outside and soak up the sun. ”
But they didn't.
"Tonight," Harry said quickly, making sure Professor McGonagall was too far away to hear, "Snape is going through the trapdoor tonight." He'd got everything he needed, and now he'd tricked Professor Dumbledore out of school. He must have sent the letter, and I dare say the Ministry of Magic would have been taken aback to see Professor Dumbledore suddenly appear. ”
"Stop talking." Lin Yiyan reminded. Hermione took a sharp breath of air, and Harry and Ron spun around. Snape stood there.
"Good afternoon." He said in a sleek tone. They stared blankly at him.
"You shouldn't be inside in such weather." He said, his face contorting with a wry smile.
"We were in—" Harry said ramblingly.
"You need to be careful," Snape said, "and you're going to think you're trying to do something bad." Gryffindor can't afford to throw points, can they? Harry blushed, and they turned and walked outside, but Snape called them back again.
"A word of war, Potter - if you wander around in the middle of the night again, I'm going to fire you myself, and I wish you a good day." He strode in the direction of the faculty lounge. As soon as the four of them reached the stone steps outside, Harry said, "Well, we have to do this now, one of them is in charge of keeping an eye on Snape - wait outside the staff lounge, and if he comes out, follow him." Hermione, this is best left to you. ”
"Why me?" Hermione asked.
"Well," Ron said, "you can pretend to be waiting for Professor Flitwick." He feigned a shrill female voice, "Oh, Professor Friedwick, I'm so worried, I think I might have made the wrong choice B for question 14!" ”
"Bah, shut up." Hermione said, but she agreed to keep an eye on Snape.
"The three of us better stay outside the hallway on the fourth floor." Harry said to Lin Yiyan and Ron.
"Go ahead, I'll wait for your good news in the common room." Lin Yiyan said with a wicked smile. When Lin Yiyan strolled to the common room and found Harry and Ron sighing, Harry muttered "At least Hermione is staring at Snape", and saw the portrait of the fat lady jerk away, and Hermione came in.
"I'm sorry, Harry!" She whimpered, "Snape came out, and he asked me what I was doing there, and I said I was waiting for Professor Flitwick. Snape went to look for him, and I had to run away. I don't know where Snape has gone now. ”
"Well, that seems to be the only way to go, right?" Harry said.
"You've really decided?" Lin Yiyan asked.
"Yes, it's decided." Harry said. Both Hermione and Ron stared at him, only to see that his face was pale and his eyes were shining.
"I've decided to sneak out of here tonight, and I'm going to try to get my hands on the Philosopher's Stone first."
"You're crazy!" Ron said.
"You can't do that!" Hermione said, "Didn't you hear what McGonagall and Snape said?" You're going to be expelled! ”
"So what?" Harry exclaimed, "Don't you understand? If Snape gets his hands on the Philosopher's Stone, Voldemort will return! Haven't you heard what it was like here when he wanted to dominate the world? If he had succeeded, Hogwarts would not have existed, and it would not matter if he was expelled or not! He'll turn it into a school dedicated to teaching dark arts! Can't you see that it doesn't matter if you lose points or not now! Do you think that as long as Gryffindor wins the House Cup, he will let you and your family go? If I had been caught before I could get my hands on the Philosopher's Stone, I would have to go back to Dursley's house and wait for Voldemort to come and find me. That's just a little later than now, because I'm never going to join the underworld! I've got to go through that trapdoor tonight, and you can't stop me with anything! Voldemort killed my parents, remember? ”
He glared at them angrily.
"Don't look at me like that, do I look like someone who will stop you?" Lin Yiyan said with a smile.
"You're probably right, Harry." Hermione whispered.
"I'm going to use my invisibility cloak." Harry added.
"But can it cover all four of us?" Hermione asked.
"It's three people." Lin Yiyan prompted.
"Why don't you go? Don't you want to help Harry? Ron asked angrily.
"I want to, too, but I have my reasons, trust me." Lin Yiyan said. In the evenings, the common room is gradually less crowded. Because Lin Yiyan refused to go with Harry, the three of them ignored him. Lin Yiyan didn't care about this.
"What are you doing?" A man's voice rang out in a corner of the room. Neville stepped out from behind an armchair, clutching his toad, Lev, in his hand. It seems that Levif has been fighting for freedom again.
"Nothing, Neville, nothing." Harry said, quickly hiding the Cloak of Invisibility behind his back. Neville stared at their sinister faces and said, "You're going out again." ”
"No, no," Hermione said, "we don't want to go out." Neville, why don't you go to sleep? ”
"You can't go out," Neville said, "you're going to get caught, and Gryffindor will be deducted points in that case." ”
"You don't understand," said Harry, "it's a very important matter. But Neville seemed determined to stop them this time.
"I won't let you do that." He said, rushing over to the front of the portrait hole, "I'm going to- I'm going to fight you!" ”
"Neville," Ron furious, "get out of that hole, don't be an idiot—"
"Don't call me an idiot!" Neville said, "I don't think you should break the school rules, and you were the ones who encouraged me to stand up against others in the first place!" ”
"That's right, but it's not against us." Ron said angrily, "Neville, you have no idea what you're doing. He took a step forward, Neville threw away the toad in his hand, and the little thing was gone.
"Come on, come and hit me!" Neville raised his fists and said, "I'm ready!" Harry looked at the crowd and said, "Think of a way." ”
"Leave it to me!" Lin Yiyan took out his wand and said to Neville, "Faint!" Neville swayed in place a few times before falling to the ground with a thud.
"What did you do to him?" Harry asked quietly.
"It's just unconscious, and I'm probably awake at dawn. Go ahead, remember, Harry, Voldemort can't touch you. Good luck. Lin Yiyan resisted the unconscious Neville and walked upstairs and said.
After putting Neville away, watching Harry and the others leave, Lin Yiyan chuckled, "It seems that I should do it too!" It's a good time to look at Harry and them! For me, the intensity of monitoring may be a little smaller. ”
As for why Lin Yiyan didn't get involved, the main reason was that Lin Yiyan didn't like the Philosopher's Stone, because in Lin Yiyan's opinion, although the Philosopher's Stone could increase the upper limit of the user's lifespan, it would also link the user's life with the Philosopher's Stone, as long as the Philosopher's Stone was broken. Even if you were living in the moisturizing state at that time, it wouldn't be long before you would turn into dust, irreversible.
Lin Yiyan was quite interested in the treasures of the founders of Hogwarts, the only thing that made Lin Yiyan regret was that all those things were collected by Voldemort in advance and turned into Horcruxes, and if they were collected, they would have to remove the soul fragments on them.
For example, in the case of Helga Hufflepuff's gold cup, Lin Yiyan was very interested in that thing, but unfortunately, that thing is now stored in Gringotts. It was impossible for Lin Yiyan to sneak into Gringotts and steal it. Marvolo Gaunt's ring is stored in the old mansion where Salazar Slytherin's last bloodline lived, and it is impossible for Lin Yiyan to obtain it at present, and Lin Yiyan still has some ideas about things that can summon souls.
As for Salazar Slytherin's locket, Lin Yiyan has no interest in taking things, except for the poison that makes life worse than death, who would want to touch that kind of thing? And now the only thing Lin Yiyan can get is Rowena Ravenclaw's crown.
It is said that Rowena Ravenclaw's crown can increase people's wisdom, although the specific effect is unknown, for Lin Yiyan, it is a good thing. Another thing that Lin Yiyan is interested in is Harry's invisibility cloak, which Lin Yiyan has been coveting for a long time.
It's a pity that Harry protects that thing like a baby, Lin Yiyan has also studied it for a while, and even let Lala see it, and Lala has expressed great interest in this invisibility cloak that can be invisible. However, it will take a lot of time to develop it thoroughly.
However, Lin Yiyan remembered that this thing seemed to be sold in Tumbledown Alley, as for whether Lin Yiyan had not verified it, so it was not very clear.
And while Dumbledore's eyes were on Harry's body, the purpose of Lin Yiyan's action this time was to store the Ravenclaw crown in the Room of Requirement. (To be continued.) )
