Chapter 276: First Contact with Voldemort
"Thank you Luna, I'll treat you to pudding when I have time!" Although Hermione got the answer she wanted, Qin Hui's figure seemed to envelop her like a dark cloud. And in Hermione's heart, there was always a voice reminding her that the mysterious Master Qin was the last hidden demon, and that she and Harry would one day face this unimaginably powerful being.
"It's enviable that you can stay together all day, good luck!" Luna shook her head at Hermione and smiled meaningfully.
"Hermione, where are you pulling us along! I'm going back to sleep! As soon as the feast was over, Hermione pulled Harry and Ron out and headed for Hagrid's cabin.
"Professor Qin has always watched the matter of Professor Snape's spell on Harry, and that's it, Professor Qin still wants Luna to be careful of Professor Quirrell instead of Professor Snape, do you know what that means?" Hermione asked in a hurried tone.
"Who are you listening to! It can't be Luna! That Luna is insane, and everyone says he's crazy! Ron asked, puzzled.
"I don't know if Luna is crazy or not, but we should go to Hagrid now and ask him what he thinks of the two mentors, and remind him that someone is playing the Philosopher's Stone."
"But what does this matter to us! We're just freshmen! Ron grumbled reluctantly, but his body was still behind Harry and Hermione.
"Dangdangdang Hagrid, are you in there?" After arriving at Hagrid's stone house, Hermione knocked on Hagrid's door.
There was a creak of noise from the old wooden door, and with the sound of the door opening, Hagrid, who had been red-faced from drinking a lot of wine at the banquet, appeared in front of the three Harry.
"It's you! But it's too late today, so let's talk about it tomorrow! Hagrid, who opened the door, did not welcome Harry and the others into the door as usual, but blocked the door and said in a hesitant manner.
"Hagrid, we have something important to tell you." Harry shouted at Hagrid.
"Let's talk about important things tomorrow, it's late today, I'm going to rest!" Hagrid said apologetically to Harry.
"It's about the Philosopher's Stone, I suspect Voldemort's people are playing the Philosopher's Stone!"
Just as Hagrid was about to close the door, Harry said something that even Hermione and the others were stunned by.
Harry looked at everyone's expressions and said affirmatively; "I've been searching for things about the Philosopher's Stone these days, and in a biography, it is recorded that the Philosopher's Stone is not only the main material for making the elixir of longevity, but it is also a universal elixir in itself, which can help people with impaired strength quickly recover their original strength, so I think it may be that Voldemort is making a comeback."
"Voldemort!" Hagrid swallowed his saliva when he heard this, hesitated for a moment, stepped out of the way, and said to Harry and the others; "Come in, it's not safe to talk outside."
The three of them followed Hagrid into the door, and Hermione, who was the most eloquent, told Hagrid about what had happened recently.
From the theft of the fine bank where the Philosopher's Stone was stored, to the strange things that happened recently, one qiē and one qiē turned into a big conspiracy in Hermione's mouth. After hearing Hermione's words, not only Hagrid was thoughtful, but even Ron, who didn't quite believe in this qiē, couldn't help but doubt it, because they were too coincidental.
With Hermione's words, things that originally seemed to be unconnected seemed to be implicated after Hermione's analysis, making people wonder if this was planned by someone.
"Click" Just as Hermione's mouth was dry, there was a sudden cracking sound in the room.
"Oh! Oh, my God! I've forgotten about it! Hagrid scrambled to his feet, and took out an egg from the fire that was much larger than an ostrich egg.
"What is this!" Harry asked strangely as he looked at the egg in front of him.
"Hagrid, you made it!" Ron looked at Hagrid in surprise when he saw the egg.
"Ron, what kind of ass is this!" Seeing that Ron wanted to know where this thing came from, Harry asked suspiciously.
Ron looked at the dragon egg in front of him and said hesitantly; "My cousin is studying dragons in Egypt, and if my guess is correct, this should be the egg of a Norwegian Charizard!"
Just as Ron finished speaking, there was a cracking sound on the eggshell, and a young dragon, only thirty centimeters long, broke out of the eggshell.
"It's really a dragon! Hagrid, how did you do it! Ron asked in disbelief as he looked at the young dragon that came out, because the female dragon guarded the dragon eggs very closely, and it was impossible for ordinary people to get them.
Hagrid looked at the young dragon who was trying to stand up, and said proudly; "I won it from a wandering merchant at the bar, and I drank four barrels of beer to win this dragon egg!"
"Drink four barrels of beer and he'll give you the dragon egg! That's impossible! Ron, who knew the value of dragon eggs, said incredulously.
Hagrid teased the young dragon with his fingers and smiled; "Of course not, he wanted to regret it after losing, he felt that I had no experience in raising dragons. But I didn't hesitate to tell him that since I had a three-headed dog, I didn't have the slightest problem raising a dragon. ”
"Wait, Hagrid, you're telling him about the three-headed dog!" Harry took Hagrid's words and whispered to him.
"Of course, otherwise he wouldn't have given me the dragon egg. And I also told him that the secret of raising a three-headed dog is to play music for them, although the three-headed dog is irritable, but when it hears the music, it will fall into a deep sleep and will not wake up until the music is over. ”
"Dangdangdang" was just as Hagrid was happily talking about his glorious deeds, and with a quick knock on the door, the wooden door that had not been closed was knocked open.
"Mr. Filch!" When they saw Filch standing outside the door, Harry's faces changed dramatically.
Filch is the night watchman at Hogwarts, and at Hogwarts students are punished for leaving the dormitory after the lights are turned off, and Filch is the one who manages it.
"Mr. Potter, Mr. Ron, Miss Hermione!" Filch looked at the three Harry in front of him, and an ugly smile appeared on his face.
"Filch, why did you come to me!" Hagrid quietly shielded the young dragon behind him and asked calmly.
"Because I saw this outside your door!" Filch smiled, reaching out and pulling in a man through the door.
"Malfoy!"
"Hi Harry!" Malfoy smiled awkwardly, he didn't expect that he would be caught by Filch when he followed Harry out of curiosity.
"Are you here for them!" Hagrid thought Filch was making a big fuss.
Filch pushed Malfoy into Hagrid's room and shook his head; "Of course not, Professor McGonagall had just heard the unicorn's wail. So I asked you to inform you to go to the forest, before I came, I was afraid that you would not have enough manpower, but now after seeing a few of them, I am really relieved. ”
"Harry, Ron, Malfoy, Hermione. Since you left the dormitory area without permission, I decided to punish you by letting you follow Hagrid to explore the Forbidden Forest! Filch smiled at Harry and the others.
Malfoy looked at Filch in disbelief and exclaimed; "Forbidden Forest! You are crazy! It's a forbidden area, it's dangerous! ”
"The place where the unicorn wails is only on the outermost periphery, and the danger of having Hagrid with you is minimal. Of course, if you don't want to go, I can take this to Professor McGonagall. But if the professor knows about your escape, you may face a penalty of 50 credits each! Filch knew that Hagrid and the students didn't understand this, so he exaggerated the severity of the punishment and scared Harry and the others.
"Think about it, gentlemen, you have less than two hundred credits a year, and if you are fined fifty credits, you are doomed to repeat a grade." Filch said, lifting the oil lamp in his hand and walking towards the academy, not feeling the slightest hint that Harry and the others would reject his offer.
"Mr. Filch, we're willing to go, please don't tell Professor McGonagall!" Looking at Filch's back, after thinking for a while, Harry and the others said in unison, even Malfoy is no exception.
"Hey, Professor McGonagall told me to go to the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid, I don't have to go with these little guys!" After hearing Harry's words, Filch, who was in a good mood, whistled and walked towards the Academy.
At the same time, Qin Hui, who was wandering in the forbidden forest, also had his first contact with Voldemort, the villain of this world.
