Chapter Twenty-Nine: Snape's Warning to Quirrell!

I don't know if it's because I want to deliberately give Quirrell another chance, I don't know if it's because even if he has a secret hand, he still doesn't feel at ease, but before the start of this Quidditch match, Dumbledore actually appeared and came to watch the game.

At this moment Harry was completely relaxed, he absolutely believed in Dumbledore. He felt that Snape had no chance of hurting him.

So, when the game started, even if Snape was clearly unfair and awarded free throws to the Hufflepuffs, it was often the Seeker who decided the victory. When Harry overplayed and captured the Golden Snitch, the game was over.

The stands were boiling; It would be a new record, and no one can remember which tournament the snitch was caught so quickly.

Harry jumped from his broomstick a foot above the ground. He couldn't believe it. He succeeded—the game was over; It lasted less than five minutes. As the Gryffindors crowded into the arena, Harry saw Snape land next to him, his face pale and his lips pursed tightly - and then Harry felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up and saw Dumbledore's smiling face.

"Well done." Dumbledore's voice was so soft that only Harry could hear it, "Glad to see you didn't think about that magic mirror all day...... Life is very fulfilling...... Great......"

Snape spat on the ground in disgust.

In Liu Jiecao's opinion, when Snape saw the majestic Harry, he obviously remembered Harry's father, which made him unhappy for a while.

An hour later, Harry left the locker room alone to return his Halo 2000 to the broomroom. His mood was happier than ever. He had finally done something to be truly proud of—and no one would ever say he had a resounding name. The night air has never been sweeter.

He walked through the damp meadows, and the scene of the hour before reappeared in his mind, vague fragments of happiness: the Gryffindor students ran up to him and put him on their shoulders; Ron and Hermione jumped up and down in the distance, Ron cheering with a nosebleed. Of course, Liu Jiecao seemed to be expressionless again. Of course Harry was used to it.

Harry had arrived at the broomroom shed. He leaned against the wooden door and looked up at Hogwarts, the windows glowing red in the setting sun. The Gryffindors took the lead. He succeeded, and he made Snape see......

Speaking of Snape...... A hooded figure quickly walked down the main entrance steps of the castle, apparently not wanting to be seen, and made a quick head for the Forbidden Forest. Harry watched, the joy of victory fading. He recognized the figure's sneaky gait. None other than Snape. He sneaked into the Forbidden Forest while others were having dinner—what did he want? Harry jumped back onto his broomstick and took off. He glided silently over the castle and saw Snape running into the Forbidden Forest. He followed.

The trees are too dense. He couldn't see where Snape had gone. He circled, lower and lower, skimming the treetops, until at last he heard someone talking. He flew lightly towards them, silently landing on a towering beech.

He crept forward cautiously along a branch, his broomstick in his hand, and he wanted to look down through the leaves.

Below, in a shadowy clearing, stood Snape. But he's not alone. Quirrell was there too. Harry couldn't make out the look on his face, but he stuttered more than ever. Harry listened intently to what they were saying.

“…… No...... Don't know why you're ...... Want...... To meet here, Severus ......"

"Oh, I don't think it's appropriate to make it public." Snape said. The voice was cold, "After all, students shouldn't know about the Philosopher's Stone. ”

Harry leaned forward. Quirrell was muttering something. Snape interrupted him. "Have you figured out how to subdue Hagrid's monster?"

"Yes...... Can...... But, Severus. I ......," Quirrell stammered.

"You don't want me to be your enemy, Quirrell." Snape said, taking a step closer to him. "I ...... I don't know...... Know your ......"

"You know exactly what I mean."

An owl cried loudly. Harry nearly fell off a tree. He steadied himself just in time to hear Snape say, "...... Your secret little trick. I waited. ”

"Yes...... But I don't ...... No...... Not ......"

"Good." Snape interrupted him, "It won't be long before you've had time to figure it out and decide who you're loyal to, we'll talk again." ”

He covered his head with his cloak and strode out of the clearing. It was almost completely dark, but Harry could still see Quirrell standing motionless, like a clay sculpture of wood.

After the two left, Harry was woken up by Liu Jiecao, who was also here.

Liu Jiecao came with Harry, and he had an experimental invisibility cloak......

By the way, in addition to making invisibility cloaks and mobile phones, Xianpai and him also made flying broomsticks...... So you get the idea!

The school doesn't allow you to bring it, just do it yourself...... I don't usually use it, just use it when it's critical.

Of course, due to technical factors, the flying broomstick jointly researched and produced by Liu Jiecao and Xianpai is far inferior to the Halo 2000, and it is estimated that it is only barely better than those in the school.

Maybe it's because of the materials used, compared to other people's broomsticks, their batch is also an experiment, and it is also relatively easy to damage.

Just like now, once you flew this broomstick, you almost finished playing with it......

Earlier, Liu Jiecao and Harry had seen Snape warn Quirrell.

From their conversation, it can be seen that at this time, I am afraid that Quirrell has used the dragon egg to get a way to pass the three-headed dog from Hagrid, and Snape, who has been monitoring him, also knows, and it is estimated that Dumbledore also knows.

What Liu Jiecao was thinking about was that he didn't know if Dumbledore was aware of Voldemort's possession of Quirrell, and it seemed that Snape should not know, otherwise he wouldn't have warned like that.

It is estimated that Snape showed the mark of the Dark Devil and revealed his identity to Quirrell, which means that he knows that Quirrell is now working for Voldemort, wants to seize the Philosopher's Stone, and makes Quirrell choose again, obviously he does not know that Voldemort is on Quirrell.

Thinking about it for a long time, Dumbledore didn't know about Voldemort's Horcruxes. It wasn't until Voldemort exposed his first Horcrux the following year that Dumbledore was alerted, apparently this time even Dumbledore shouldn't be completely aware of Voldemort's affair with Quirrell, at most it was just some speculation, Snape's actions were not sent by Dumbledore to test him.

More than anything else, the number one problem now was that he and Harry needed to leave as soon as possible, so that Harry would not feel at ease.

"Harry, where have you been?" Hermione said sharply.

"We won! You win! We won! Ron slapped Harry the back and shouted. I knocked Malfoy's eyes blue. Neville deals with Crabbe and Goyle alone! He was still completely unconscious, but Madam Pomfrey said he would be fine - talk about the lessons to Slytherin! Everyone is waiting for you in the common room, we're having a celebration, and Fred and George have stolen some cake from the kitchen or something. ”

"Leave that alone." Hahe panted and said, "Let's find an empty room, you listen to me tell you......"

Liu Jiecao stood there expressionlessly, first glancing at the loli, and then leaving with Harry and the other trio.

Harry was sure that Peeves wasn't in the house before turning around and closing the door. Then he told them what he had just seen and heard.

Liu Jiecao also nodded to confirm the news that Harry had seen.

"So, we're right, it's the Philosopher's Stone, and Snape wants to force Quirrell to help him get it. He asked Quirrell if he knew how to subdue Lowe - and mentioned Quirrell's 'secret tricks' - I guessed. In addition to Lu Wei, there are probably other mechanisms guarding the stone, and it is likely that there is a lot of magic and sorcery, and maybe Quirrell has cast some anti-dark magic spell. Snape needs to disarm them—"

"You mean to say that the Philosopher's Stone is only safe if Quirrell is able to resist Snape?" Hermione asked, alarmed.

"The stone won't be there next Tuesday." Ron said.

Liu Jiecao still said unhurriedly: "It's not Snape. Harry, sometimes things don't go the face of it. ”

Harry and Ron didn't understand this, but they still believed that it was Snape and that Liu Jiecao must have misjudged.

Hermione, who knew part of the situation, was hesitant to tell Harry and Ron the truth, or continue acting?

Liu Jiecao shook her head at her, and Hermione continued acting, saying that she also believed that Snape had done it.

Through these small details, Liu Jiecao was just telling Harry. Potter, what he sees may not be true, and when the facts are laid out in front of him, Harry grows.

However, Quirrell must have been much braver than Harry had thought. Over the next few weeks, he did look paler and emaciated, but not completely broken.

Every time they walked through the three-hugging hallway, Harry, Ron, and Hermione had to put their ears to the door to hear if Lowe was still growling in a low voice. Snape strode around the school all day, and his temper was as violent as ever, which undoubtedly showed that the Philosopher's Stone was still safe.

These days, every time Harry bumps into Quirrell on the road, he gives him a smile of encouragement; Ron also began to convince people to stop laughing at Quirrell's stuttering.

Every time Harry and Ron did this, Liu Jiecao always showed a meaningful smile and said, "I hope you don't regret it." ”

The two said they would never regret it.

Hermione, as for hermione, has more to worry about than the Philosopher's Stone. She has already started to make a revision plan and mark all her notes with different colors. Harry and Ron didn't care, but she kept nagging them to do the same.

As for Liu Jiecao, do you still need her to worry? As a result, she only cared about Harry and Ron's studies. (To be continued......)
