Chapter 50: Busy

Under Snape's strong aura, Quirrell stuttered that he couldn't even say a complete sentence. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Then an owl suddenly barked over their heads, startling Al and Harry, and they steadied themselves just in time to hear Snape say, "...... Your secret little trick, I'll wait. ”

"But... But...... I don't... Not ......"

"Alright. Snape interrupted Quirrell, and said, "We'll talk again before you've had time to think it through and decide who you're loyal to." ”

After Snape said this, he covered his head with his hood and strode out of the clearing, towards Hogwarts Castle.

Quirrell, on the other hand, stood motionless, looking at Snape's back like a clay sculpture of wood.

Al whispered in Harry's ear, "Now that we've figured out Snape's purpose, let's get back before he gets back to the castle." ”

Harry nodded knowingly, knowing that if Snape closed the castle gates, they would have to spend the night outside the castle.

The doors of Hogwarts are under a protective charm that no one can open except for the school teachers or the use of a powerful destruction charm.

The next day, Al and Harry told Hermione and Ron what they had seen.

"In that case, then our previous analysis is correct!" Ron said, opening his mouth wide, "There must be a Philosopher's Stone underneath the trapdoor, and Snape was clearly trying to get it." ”

"Since Snape mentioned Quirrell's 'secret trick'......" Hermione muttered as she cupped her cheeks, "I suspect that there are probably other mechanisms guarding the stone besides the three-headed dog Luffie." ”

Al nodded in agreement, and he said, "Maybe Quirrell has cast some anti-dark magic spells to protect the Philosopher's Stone, after all, he is our defense against the dark arts teacher!"

"Snape threatened him to get Quirrell to undo the magic he had cast!" Hermione snapped her fingers and added, "And he wanted to force Quirrell to help him get the Philosopher's Stone, so he asked Quirrell if he knew how to subdue Lowe." ”

"Well, now it's up to Rocky. Al closed his eyes and sifted through all the clues in his mind, then opened his eyes and concluded, "If Quirrell can resist Snape's pressure, then Snape can't make it!"

The more Al learned about it, the more they felt that they were wrong.

Thankfully, Quirrell was far braver than El had hoped, and in the weeks that followed, he did look paler and thinner, but not completely broken.

Every time they passed through the hallway on the fourth floor, Al would secretly put his ear to the door of that room to hear if Lou Wei was still growling in there.

Snape strode around the school all day, and his temper was the same as usual, which undoubtedly showed that the Philosopher's Stone was safe for the time being.

These days, Harry would give Quirrell an encouraging smile every time he met him on the road, and Ron began to persuade people to stop laughing at Quirrell's stammering.

As for Hermione, she had more to worry about than just worrying about the Philosopher's Stone, and she had already started to make a revision plan and began to mark the important points on all her notes, with different colored pens.

Al threw himself at Hermione's admiration, while Harry and Ron didn't care.

Hermione kept nagging in El's ear, telling them to follow her example and make a plan for themselves.

Ron shook his head, and he said helplessly, "Hermione, the exam is still hundreds of years away from us. ”

"It's only been ten weeks. Hermione retorted, "Not hundreds of years, for Nicol Lemay, it's just a blink of an eye." ”

"But we're not five or six hundred years old. Ron reminded her, "And, anyway, why do you have to review, you already know everything." ”

"Why should I revise? Are you crazy? Did you know that we have to pass these exams to get to second grade?" Hermione looked at Ron in disbelief and exclaimed, "They are important, I should have started studying a month ago, I don't know what I thought at the time......

Unfortunately, the teachers seem to think the same way as Hermione, and they assign a whole bunch of homework. The heavy homework makes the students sigh and complain, and feel that there is never enough time.

Time passed little by little, the ice and snow outside the castle melted, the spring flowers bloomed, and the footsteps of spring have quietly arrived.

The weather is getting warmer.

The Easter holidays were far less fun than they were at Christmas, with Hermione by her side reciting the twelve uses of dragon's blood or practicing spells, and it was hard for Al to rest easily.

Al and the others spent most of their free time with Hermione, in the library, and with Hermione's supervision, they had to work hard to complete their homework.

"No, I'll never remember this!" One afternoon, Ron finally got tired of it, threw the quill and leaned on the table, staring out the window of the library.

For the first time in months, they had encountered such good weather, and the sky outside the window was clear and clear, blue like the color of forget-me-not flowers, and it seemed that there was a fresh smell of stamens in the air.

Al was immersed in "A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms" looking for 'white freshness' when he heard Ron's complaint and was about to speak, but suddenly he saw Hagrid.

"Hey, Hagrid, what are you doing in the library?"

Because of their busy schedules, Al hadn't seen Hagrid in a long time.

Hagrid came over with a kick and tapped something behind him, looking out of place in his moleskin coat.

"Oh, I'll take a look. Hagrid's eyes dodged as he spoke, apparently he didn't want them to know some secret.

Hagrid's appearance immediately aroused the interest of Al and the others.

"What are you doing here?" Hagrid asked, suddenly suspicious, "Are you still looking for Nicol Lemay?"

"No, we figured out who he was hundreds of years ago. Ron said triumphantly, "We know what the three-headed dog is guarding for, it's the Philosopher's Stone......"

"Shhhhh

"Honestly, we have a few things to ask you," Harry said, "about the mechanism that guards the Philosopher's Stone, with the exception of Lowe......"

"Shhhh ”

"There are some things that students shouldn't know, and if they hear something, they'll think I'm telling you......"
