Chapter 81: Snape's help
didn't dare to stay longer, Ekla went straight to the dorm with Stewart and Terry, and called Michael and Anthony who were sitting in the common room by the way.
As soon as he entered the door, Ike said solemnly, "We're in trouble!" ”
After telling Fang Cai about what had just happened, everyone's faces sank and their faces were full of sadness.
"I'm sorry, but I'm the one who bothered you." Ike's mood was a little low.
There is no doubt that this must have been done by Comrade Xiaofu. It's also been lax lately, and I miscalculated the timing of the success of the potion.
Of course, no one could complain about this, after all, even Snape couldn't be sure, he was a rare Potions master in the world.
"It's not your fault, Ike." After a long silence, Michael suddenly comforted him, "That enemy will always make a move, and we will be the target, at least the others are safe." ”
"What's more, such a long time of training is also in vain, even if you can't beat it, you can always run."
Looking at Michael's eyes, Ike wanted to give him an affirmative answer, but after a long time, he finally shook his head.
"Sorry, I can't guarantee that."
"Ahh......h
"You'll find him, right, that enemy?"
"Yes! I'm sure! ”
"Then it'll be fine." Shrugging his shoulders, Michael wiped the sweat from his forehead exaggeratedly, "I thought even you couldn't solve it." ”
"But your safety ......"
"It's nothing." Stewart suddenly said, "As long as we don't be left alone, aren't we?" I remember what you said earlier. ”
Ike nodded, "Yes, he wouldn't dare attack in plain sight." ”
"Then it'll be fine." "Until the end of the semester, we promise that we will never be left alone. ”
"As for you, do what you have to do......"
"That's right, go for it......"
Looking at the obvious ease that Stewart and the others pretended, Ike suddenly felt that something was about to come out of his eyes.
Closing his eyes and calming down a little, Ike said firmly, "I'll definitely find him!" ”
"Trust me!"
As soon as the words fell, Ike pushed open the door, skillfully put on the illusion charm, and disappeared in front of the four people.
He walked so fast that he didn't hear Terry's barely audible murmur.
"Soon, Ike...... That's a curse of death......"
...............
Leaving the dormitory, Ike headed straight for Snape's office.
Compared to the previous basilisk attacks, this one is undoubtedly much more serious. Comrade Xiao Fu didn't plan to kill people before, he just petrified people to cause riots, but now he is directly Avada's face, and he came with his life!
Ike wasn't sure if Professor Flitwick knew about Comrade Fu's existence, so he went straight to the only person other than Dumbledore who knew about it.
When he arrived at the office, Professor Snape was holding a photograph and staring at it in a daze, when Ike woke him up by the sound of the door pushing the door, and he quickly put it away.
"Mr. Stred, you should be in the dormitory now, how can you ......" As soon as he said a few words, he saw Ike close the door, and rushed to him in two or three steps, and said with a serious expression, "Professor, I was attacked just now, and it was a death curse!" ”
"April Fool's Day is still more than a month away, and now is not the time for jokes." Snape's eyes were fixed on Ike, "Can you take responsibility for what you say?" ”
"Of course!" Ike immediately replied, "Actually, Stewart and Terry were with me at the time, and they can testify for me!" ”
"I'll check with Mr. Akerley and Mr. Bout to confirm the matter......"
"Now, tell me, who else knows about this?"
"Anthony Goldstein and Michael Corner."
"Humph!" Snape snorted, "Don't you know what secrecy is?" ”
"They're my friends!" Ike didn't back down, "I'm sure they're dangerous!" I can't hide it from them! ”
There was a dead silence in the office, and both men in the room were staring at each other. It was a long time before Snape spoke, "Tell me the whole story of your attack." ”
"Attention! Don't let go of any details! ”
Ike nodded, detailing the matter from beginning to end. Snape listened quietly, his hands crossed over his knees, motionless.
When Ike finished speaking, it took another moment before he spoke, "It seems that he has already brewed a life-sustaining potion, and has found a new 'Quirrell'. ”
"I think so." Ike replied, "But the question is, who is Quirrell?" How do we find him? ”
"That's your problem, Mr. Stred." Snape said calmly, "For some security reasons, the professors can't meddle in this matter, and we must prevent him from being cornered and killing indiscriminately!" ”
"I see." Ike knew exactly what Snape meant, and they were on the same page on this point, and few other young wizards had Ike's level of magic.
Snape nodded slightly, seemingly pleased with Ike's reaction. With a wave of his hand, a potion containing a small half-bottle of magical shimmer flew out of his private collection.
Hand it to Ike, and after seeing him accept it, Snape said, "Elixir, don't let me know what strange things you're using it for!" ”
When Ike heard this, he quickly put away the small bottle and patted his pocket. Seeing this, Snape couldn't help but say angrily: "You'd better hang it around your neck with a chain, don't expect to get a second bottle!" ”
"I will." Ike hurriedly agreed, knowing very well that Snape was bleeding profusely. This magical potion that can bring good luck for twelve hours is unimaginably difficult to brew, and the slightest mistake can lead to failure, and it is a rare potion that only a very few potions masters can brew.
Seeing that Ike was still in the office, and even looking around, Snape immediately felt a nameless fire welling up.
"Mr. Stred......" a gloomy voice sounded, "what are you looking at?" ”
"Nothing." Ike replied with a smirk.
"Well, then, it's time for you to leave." Snape waved his hand, and the door to his office opened, "Is it possible that you still want me to take you back to the dormitory?" ”
"No, no." Ike hurriedly got up, "I can ...... it myself"
Walking to the door, Ike suddenly stopped. Turning around, there was a serious look on his face.
"Professor, my friends...... They'll be safe, right? ”
Snape didn't reply for a while, and Ike kept watching him quietly.
"Hogwarts is the safest place in the wizarding world in England, and no one will be in danger of their lives......"
