Whoa......

As the little snakes spoke, a small group of people led by Flint got up and left in the corner of the long table.

They try not to make a noise as much as possible.

But it was still seen.

It's just that the eyes that used to be quite in awe have disappeared, but with contempt and indifference, which makes them feel like a man.

"What to do? Flint, we ......"

"What to do? Isn't it just that you can't go to the long table to eat? Flint grimaced, "What's the matter?" ”

The corners of the others' mouths twitched.

If only it were that simple.

But how is that possible?

"Flint, you're right, where to eat doesn't matter, what's really problematic is ......," sighed a little snake, "Shelby's threat before the Christmas break, he said he would strip us naked and hang them on a tree, along with pictures of our family and members and send them to the newspaper!" ”

Flint was momentarily stunned: "You, you're right, but this kind of thing may not happen, you see, it's been so long, and there hasn't been ......"

"But that's just Shelby's way to avoid discussion......"

"Enough!"

Flint glared at the little snake, "Don't talk about this again, hmph, if you want to surrender to your former enemy like that slut of Farley, then you can go!" ”

"I ......"

The little snake wanted to plead.

But that's not the end of the story.

was interrupted by the oncoming Snape: "Do you have a lot of energy when you don't go to eat or study in the morning, and quarrel here?" ”

"Professor." Several people immediately paused.

And this time.

The other professors came over one after another, and when they saw Snape stop the little snakes, McGonagall asked, "Is there something wrong?" Severus. ”

"It's fine." Snape didn't want to deduct the snake yard points, and immediately waved his hand, not wanting to look at a few stupid snakes, "Don't go yet!" ”

Flint and the others left immediately.

"They don't look very good...... "McGonagall is concerned about the students.

But Snape didn't want to continue to talk nonsense, and immediately said, "I heard that Quirinus is on leave? ”

"Yes, he is not feeling well, his face is ugly, and I don't know if he is sick or ......"

"Hehe, if I am defeated by the first-year freshmen, I will also have no face to stay in school." Snape sneered, "As for being sick, it's just an excuse!" ”

McGonagall looked at Snape helplessly, "Maybe." ”

"Perhaps? Hum...... I'm sure it was his mind that didn't want to go, after all, the spell he was knocked down was still a first-year Transfiguration. ”

"Transfiguration?" McGonagall was on her mind.

Flitvy on the side also sighed: "Yes, Transfiguration, Shelby turned Quillinus's turban into a skunk...... It seems to be this kind of animal, well, farting stinks, it can stun people, Minerva, it's a pity you weren't there, otherwise you would be happy to have such a good Transfiguration genius. ”

Between words.

Several people came to the guest of honor in the auditorium to prepare for dinner.

McGonagall nodded as well, "Although Qualinus ...... Alas, but I'm pretty relieved about Shelby's Transfiguration, he's at least a fifth-year standard...... Hey? Didn't Shelby come to dinner today? ”

She looked at the lion's table.

Before.

There will be a touch of green in a patch of red.

But now......

It's all red.

There was an empty seat next to Hermione, and it didn't seem very interested?

"In Slytherin." Professor Flitwick was short, but sharp-eyed, "Oh, next to Farley, it's pretty obvious, there's a first-year in the middle of a group of seniors. ”

The professors looked over for a moment.

And then......

McGonagall frowned;

Snape was thoughtful;

Only the chubby Sprout smiled: "It looks like Shelby has made a friend in the same house......"

Friends in the same house?

McGonagall and Snape looked at Ringo, who was at the center of the long table, and then at the badger dean, who looked harmless.

Friend......

Will it be so low-brow and pleasing to the eye? And it was an enemy before......

……

Potions lesson.

Under the strange look of the old bat, Ringo sat down next to Hermione again, except that Hermione's companion was Lavender Brown, and Ringo's companion was ......

"Noether." Ringo beckoned to the lonely little snake, "Come here." ”

The emaciated little snake immediately ran over.

But......

Compared with the initial recklessness and contempt, and the fear later, the current Noether has a smile on his face: "I'll come here." ”

Let's talk about it.

He shook his head proudly at Malfoy on the side, got up and sat next to Ringo, showing a proud look.

Snape withdrew his gaze.

Swim back to the front row of Ringo—there was Ron and Harry—well, mostly Harry...... of the eyes.

Today is a practical lesson.

It is a forgetting potion that has a high probability of taking the final exam.

Ringo is also very familiar with this thing, especially with the help of Nott - this little snake is actually very talented in potions as long as he doesn't make trouble, and Ringo controls the fire, and he handles the potions, and the two easily cut 5 points for Slytherin.

Hermione was an elementary school bully.

Immediately afterwards, the brewing of the potion was also completed.

Of course, she didn't get any extra points, and with Ringo's high level in front, she also gained a cold snort from the old bat at her ordinary level.

But fortunately, after half a year of getting along.

Hermione had long since adapted.

Not at all - in fact Hermione would have been terrible in Potions class if it weren't for Ringo's influence - as bad as most lion cubs.

"Ringo, remember Nicol Lemay you mentioned earlier?" Hermione spoke suddenly, "I finally saw his name in the library just now. ”

This time.

The Salvation Trio didn't look for a "Nicol Lemay" for as long as in the original books.

Because of the relationship with Ringo.

Harry and Ron immediately asked Ringo about Nicol Lemay when they overheard the name from Hagrid the Big Mouth, and Ringo easily pointed out that they were looking for Dumbledore's chocolate frog card, so they knew that Nicol Lemay was an alchemist - and that was just before the Christmas break.

Merely......

They only know the name, not the specific invention.

Ringo suggested that they look for it from books.

But apparently.

It's very hard to find.

- Especially when the three children saw that Dumbledore had cooperated with Nicol Lemay, they all regarded Nicol Lemay as a modern person, and the materials they were looking for were all modern materials.

Who knew that this old thing lived for more than six hundred years!

You can't look for him in the near and modern history.

Gotta look at ancient history!

And now......

Hermione seems to have stepped out of the misunderstanding!

- Actually, Ringo noticed that something was wrong with Quirrell, and felt that his leave of absence was most likely because he couldn't absorb the unicorn blood and took action, such as breaking through the trapdoor; In addition, he has been keeping an eye on Hagrid, and discovered Hagrid's anomaly the day before yesterday...... I deliberately recommended it to her.

So that Hermione could tell Harry.

Anyway, Ringo......

He wasn't going to get involved in the fight against Voldemort.

Leave it to the savior.

However, Hermione's relationship with Harry and Ron is not as good as her relationship with Ringo, so this scene is due to Ringo's compliments in the morning and did not go to the library with her, so she found an opportunity to tell Ringo at this time.

But hearing this.

Harry and Ron in front of them still turned their heads while Snape was looking at others.

Ringo smiled slightly and asked, "Huh?" Did you find out? What does it say he invented? ”

"Philosopher's Stone." Hermione whispered.

As soon as this remark came out.

Harry finally couldn't help it: "The Philosopher's Stone? What is it? Does it do anything? ”

"The book says that the Philosopher's Stone is a magical substance with amazing powers, it can turn any metal into pure gold, and it can also create an elixir of life, so that those who drink it will never die." Hermione looked at Harry, "I think, I know ......"

"Shh Harry booed.

And look back.

Glancing at Snape, who was reprimanding Neville.

Only then did he look at Ron: "He wants to get the Philosopher's Stone and give it to Vol...... Mystery Man! ”

"He can't get it!" Ringo said appropriately, "Don't forget that Dumbledore said that the fourth floor was forbidden when school started, if it is really the Philosopher's Stone, combined with what Harry said before, Hagrid took things from Gringotts, it must have been hidden there, and the professors also put a lot of protection!" ”

"The professors put on protection? Nas ...... Got it too? Harry frowned.

"Obviously yes." Ringo prompted, "Forgot about the trolls on Halloween?" I learned from Professor McGonagall that the troll was actually Quirrell's protection......"

Speaking of which.

Hit the spot.

As Harry and Ron's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and soon, Ron said, "Harry, don't forget the dog, apparently Hagrid ...... too"

"And don't forget the dueling class! Quirrell, the coward, would show up in dueling class, and he was forced to fight Ringo and get injured......" Hermione glanced at Snape, "Moreover, Snape was in constant contact with Professor Sprout because of his injury on Halloween, and now he communicates frequently with Flitwick because of his dueling class, and he has always been with Professor McGonagall......"

Goo Dong!

The three little ones swallowed their saliva in unison.

Moment.

All the clues seemed to be clear, so that their scalps instantly tingled, and they only felt that something dangerous was staring at them in the darkness.

Syllable!

Syllable!

But Snape walked up behind them at some point, and slammed the textbook on Harry and Ron's heads: "Talking before the potions were made, it seems that some savior thinks he doesn't need to study?" Hum! Gryffindor buckles ten! ”

Harry and Ron's faces froze.

Sluggishly turned around and continued to brew potions.

Hermione also bit her lip and looked at Snape in the distance with some horror - the three little ones were worried that Snape had heard what he had just said.

And Ringo ......

There was no expression on his face.

Seems to be worried.

But in fact, my heart is happy - laughing to death, sure enough, everyone has the ability to make up for the brain, and some clues that are obviously not matched can also be glued together by the brain.

Of course......

Hermione is a big part of this.

And Harry and Ron ......

Hehe.

After all, it's two "useless" "followers", so don't count on them!

But don't count on it, these two obviously had the same idea after Hermione finished speaking.

- If every professor contributes to the protection of the Philosopher's Stone.

Then according to the method of elimination:

Snape himself doesn't have to count, Professor Ghost doesn't have to count.

In addition to this, Snape communicated with McGonagall frequently, contacting Sprout through injury, Flitwick through dueling class, and forcing Quirrell and Ringo to fight Quirrell......

What's next?

Aurora Sinista of Astronomy Lesson!

Mrs. Hodge for Flying Lessons!

And even though he is not a professor, he has a three-headed dog...... Hagrid!

Figured this out.

After class.

Especially the moment Snape left, Harry and Ron bounced together, and said to Hermione and Ringo, "He must have heard our conversation, then he must react, we have to act!" ”

"What should I do?" Hermione looked anxious, too.

"Professor Sinista, Mrs. Hooch, and Hagrid, we must reach them before Snape!" Harry said, "Hermione, you go to Professor Sinista, Ron, you go to Mrs. Hooch, I ......"

"Then I'll go to Hagrid with you." Ringo is very empathetic.

"Hmm!"

Harry still had a lot of trust in Ringo.

Hearing this, he nodded immediately, and after glancing at Hermione and Ron, he followed Ringo towards Hagrid's hut.

Merely......

As you walk out of the castle and pass by the Quidditch Training Ground.

Ringo suddenly pulled him back: "Harry, we can't just go over like this. ”

"Why?" Harry looked confused.

"Because it's too obvious to be noticed, as long as it's noticed, it's easy to reach Snape's ears." Ringo caught a glimpse of Slytherin Quidditch Captain Flint, who was sneaking to his side from the training ground, "We're going to have to be invisible!" ”

"Stealth?" Harry looked back at the castle, "Then I need to go back to the dorm...... The cloak is in the dormitory. ”

He had nothing to hide from Ringo.

The thing about the cloak ......

Ringo had known for a long time, which is why he could say it so naturally.

But Ringo smiled when he heard this: "You don't have to use an invisibility cloak, some spells can achieve the same effect, such as the illusion spell." ”

"But that's a high spell."

"You're right, but I'm barely able to use it." Ringo pulled out his wand.

- "Hidden Shadows"

- "Hidden Shadows"

Ringo cast the illusion spell with seemingly difficulty, and both himself and Harry were shrouded in a transparent film, which looked immature, because if you looked closely, it was easy to see that there were two "transparent people" here.

But if you don't look closely.

But you won't find out.

"Awesome!" Harry was envious, "Ringo, you're amazing. ”

"You're going to be so good." Ringo also comforted, "Let's go......"

"Hmm!"

Harry nodded in satisfaction and continued to follow Ringo towards Hagrid's hut, unaware that shortly after the two left, Flint with buckteeth walked up to where they had just stood, squinting at the two "transparent men", not knowing what they were thinking......

Hagrid's Cottage.

Harry, who had appeared, stepped forward and knocked directly on the door—Dongdongdong: "Hagrid, it's me, Harry." ”

But it took a while for the door to open.

Suddenly a wave of heat hit, and Hagrid didn't seem as enthusiastic as before: "Oh, Harry, I'm sorry, don't blame me for being rude, I don't have time to play with you today...... Well, and Ringo. ”

said.

He's going to close the door.

"Don't do that, Hagrid, we know about the Philosopher's Stone!" Harry spoke anxiously.

Hear the words.

Hagrid was stunned for a moment, then reopened the door after a moment: "Oh...... Well, come in and talk. With that, he turned and re-entered, while the door was ajar waiting for Ringo and Harry to enter.

Harry quickly went inside.

Ringo, on the other hand, was a little slower, and his eyes kept observing the area behind him, until he noticed a handful of hair dangling through the wall, and then he smiled and walked in, closing the door by the way.

in the room.

It's hot!

It's hotter than Tokyo!

It was broad daylight, but the fireplace was burning brightly, and an iron bucket was baking on it, while Hagrid had his back to the two of them, and was constantly adding firewood.

See this.

Ringo's heart was on fire.

By the way, I was also relieved:

In fact, due to the change in the plot, Ringo is no longer quite sure that Hagrid will get Quirrell's dragon egg like in the original book.

Until......

Quirrell didn't have unicorn blood to drink, so he asked for leave of absence under the pretense of being injured by himself, and he was just a little expectant.

It so happened that Hagrid was out on Saturday and closed on Sunday.

- He's been watching Hagrid!

That's why he speculated that Hagrid might have gotten the dragon egg in advance;

and on Sunday, he gave Hermione an advance recommendation for "Research on the Development of Ancient Alchemy";

Another wave of assists today;

By the way, he used the Transfiguration Charm while waiting for Flint to show up on the Quidditch training ground - as the Quidditch tournament drew to a close, Flint trained harder, and now only he could play the role of Malfoy in the original book while still targeting himself.

Of course –

Ringo wasn't sure of all this.

It can only be said that it is most likely to happen with his various pushes - and if it doesn't happen, he will find other ways.

But the good thing is......

The moment you see the iron bucket on the fireplace.

Ringo was at ease.

By the way, Harry and Hagrid were allowed to entangle the Philosopher's Stone:

"We think Snape wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone, Hagrid."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible...... Snape is also one of the professors who protect the Philosopher's Stone, and there is absolutely no way he can steal it! ”

"But he forced Quirrell away, and got very close to McGonagall, Flitvier, and Professor Sprout, and that day, I saw him go to the fourth floor and be bitten on the leg by a three-headed dog......"

"What? Did you go to the fourth floor? Harry, that's dangerous! Lowe is a good baby, but he is ...... to you."

Hagrid didn't finish his sentence.

Ringo, who had been wandering around without sitting down, suddenly pointed to the egg in the iron bucket and exclaimed, "Oh! Merlin's beard! Hagrid, is this a dragon egg? Oh, my God! You've got a dragon egg! ”

"Haha!" Hagrid was immediately intrigued, and he leaned over, "Yes, a dragon egg!" ”

"Can I take a look? I mean, take it to the table and look at it for a moment, Hagrid, come on, you know what I like......" Ringo's eyes lit up.

Hagrid hesitated.

But look at Ringo.

In the end, he agreed: "Okay." ”

He wore thick gloves, held the dragon egg and hissed and put the dragon egg on the table: "It's so hot!" ”

"What a beautiful dragon egg!" Harry sighed, "What kind of dragon is this?" ”

"The dark and blue dragon egg, I remember seeing it in a book, seems to be ......," Ringo pondered, "is it a Norwegian spine-backed dragon?" Hagrid. ”

"Yes, it's the Norwegian Sisttalon!" Hagrid grinned and fiddled with the egg, making sure that Ringo and Harry had seen it before holding it back and putting it back in the bucket.

And yet he just picked it up.

I saw Ringo suddenly stretch out his hand and point out the window: "It's not good - who's outside?" ”
