"What?" Hearing Hermione's words, McGonagall was taken aback, "...... Ringo and Harry? ”

Dumbledore and Snape suddenly looked at the two petrified men on the field.

Then.

Hermione couldn't hold back any longer.

She stumbled to her feet and walked over to Ringo's statue, crying as she clutched it in her arms, "This is Ringo, Professor, that's Harry...... They weren't stone statues, they were turned into stone statues by basilisks! They, will they die? ”

"No, it won't." Dumbledore finally spoke.

He looked at Hermione calmly, "Don't be too sad, Granger, they were just petrified, not killed, if I remember correctly, the Mandrake Resurrection Potion could revive them......"

While comforting.

He reached out and picked up the camera in front of Ringo: "What is this?" ”

"It's the camera." Hermione was still crying.

"Oh...... Miss Granger, I'm not old enough to recognize it, I'm just curious why it's here. ”

"It's Ringo, and Ringo said that we were taking a lot of risks like this, and that we should record it so that it could be used as evidence later to prove that we didn't do anything bad."

"Well, it's his style." Dumbledore nodded, "Can I check it?" ”

"Of course."

Dumbledore was obviously able to do it, so he quickly opened the mechanical camera and took out the film, and began to check it against the firelight: "Well, this is you hanging on the devil's net, this is Harry riding a broomstick, this is the wizard's chess...... Quirrell, sure enough, he's taking off his turban? Followed by ......"

It came to an abrupt end.

"What's wrong, Albus?" McGonagall asked.

"That's what Granger said." Dumbledore frowned, "Voldemort, Quirrell's turban is Voldemort. ”

"How is that possible? Is he really alive? McGonagall couldn't help but lean in.

Even Snape approached: "So...... Did he get his hands on it? The Resurrection Stone let him take it? Didn't you say that the Resurrection Stone could not have been stolen? ”

"It's impossible, as the photos show, the magic that Lily left on Harry made it impossible for Quirrell to touch him, and even if they were at a disadvantage, Harry could deal with them alone, but ......"

"But what?"

"Look at the last picture."

McGonagall and Snape looked over and saw a great serpent breaking through the wall facing Ringo, in which Harry had been reduced to stone.

"Basilisk?" Snape frowned, "Where did he get the basilisk from?" ”

McGonagall was silent.

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes: "More than fifty years ago, there was a murder in the school, Hagrid was suspected and dropped out of school, the whistleblower is named Tom Riddle, who is the predecessor of Voldemort, and now it seems that the girl is likely to have died at the hands of Voldemort, or the basilisk, yes, the basilisk in the secret room, the existence of the Muggle wizard left behind by Slytherin." ”

"It's just speculation." Snape grimaced.

"You're right, Severus, it's just speculation, but one thing is for sure." Dumbledore looked apprehensively at the large hole in the wall, "The once terrifying Dark Lord will return after receiving the Resurrection Stone." ”

"The Ministry of Magic must be notified!" McGonagall said.

"We have to get Ringo and Harry back first." Hermione added.

Dumbledore nodded, "Don't worry, Miss Granger, I remember there are still a few bottles of resurrection potions stored in the school hospital......"

……

Ringo opened his eyes.

The bright ceiling, openwork Western-style windows, white draperies, orange lacquered tables and chairs, and ......

A witch lying by the window on the left and right.

Hermione and Penelope.

They also seemed to be asleep, with a more or less tired look on their faces.

But.

With Ringo's sober movements, Penelope was the first to be awakened, she looked up and looked at Ringo with a relaxed smile: "You're awake, Ringo." ”

The next moment.

Hermione came to her senses, too.

Perhaps it was because of seeing Ringo turn into a stone statue with her own eyes, the little witch was even more excited than Penelope, and the moment she saw Ringo, she pounced on him, just hugging his neck: "Great, Ringo, you're finally awake, it's okay, you scared me before......"

"Ahem." Penelope coughed only after the little girl had vented.

Hermione blushed and left.

But the burning gaze was still fixed on Ringo.

"What happened next?" Ringo still asked about the topics he cared about, "Fu ...... Did the mystery man take the Philosopher's Stone? Hermione, the basilisk didn't hurt you, did it? ”

"Yes, the mysterious man took the Philosopher's Stone away, but the basilisk didn't hurt me, the snake language is very effective, and the basilisk can really understand it...... This has led to more and more people who want to learn the old way of snakes recently. Hermione was first delighted, then snorted, "It's just a pity that you and Harry didn't have time to talk." ”

"Harry?" Ringo turned his head to look, "How's Harry doing?" ”

"It's still petrified, but the petrification effect is very weak, and I should be about to wake up."

"Oh, it's fine, it's good that Harry is wearing glasses, and I'm looking through the lens of my camera, otherwise it's terrible...... Okay, don't be sad, I've been petrified for a few days, tell me about what's going on lately......"

"You've been petrified for three days......"

Explain this kind of thing, but still have to let Hermione come.

The little girl spoke quickly and logically, and soon made Ringo understand what had happened in the past few days.

For example, the whole school already knows what is going on under the trapdoor.

Learn about Quirrell's theft of the Philosopher's Stone.

But they didn't know it was Voldemort......

Even the Ministry of Magic sent someone to take the photo away, and asked Hermione what happened, but he still didn't think that Voldemort had recovered, so he naturally suppressed the news......

But even so.

In order to prevent Quirrell from stealing the Philosopher's Stone, two of Ringo's party were petrified, one was injured and unconscious, and the only girl facing the basilisk was enough to be praised by the whole school......

Ringo listened quietly.

The expression on his face barely changed much—even when he heard that Voldemort had succeeded in stealing the Philosopher's Stone and was about to return to the wizarding world.

Of course.

The two witches just woke up before they got used to it.

After listening to what Hermione had to say.

Ringo's face looked completely sober, and he stretched: "Okay, let's do it first, I think I'm fine, Hermione, you go and ask Madam Pomfrey if I can be discharged, it's really uncomfortable to lie down, I want to go out for a walk." ”

"Okay." Hermione turned to leave.

Only Ringo and Penelope remained.

Penelope opened his mouth, as if to say something, but before the words could be spoken, Ringo reached out and took her hand, rubbing it slowly: "Thank you, Penelope." ”

The tall witch's gaze suddenly became tender.

Even his cheeks were slightly red.

She stared at Ringo, as if she was intrigued, and said, "This is what I should do." As he slowly approached Ringo, he approached ......

But at this moment.

Hermione's voice rang out, "Madam Pomfrey is here!" ”

Penelope immediately sat down.

Mrs. Pomfrey, the school doctor, came over to examine Ringo's body and repeatedly confirmed that Ringo had no sequelae before agreeing, "You can be discharged." ”

Before leaving, Ringo looked at Harry again.

Where is Ron guarding.

But after seeing Ringo, Ron excitedly followed over and gave a big hug: "Ringo, you're okay, great!" ”

"What about you? Ron, are your injuries healed? Ringo is also duly concerned.

"Well, it's not like you and Harry!" Ron was excited, "Are you hungry?" It's almost time for dinner, let's go to the auditorium, haha, be careful not to be scared! ”

"Surprised?"

Ringo looked at Ron.

It was all at once.

Obviously, he and Sanxiao will only be treated as "heroes", no wonder Ron looks red-faced.

Not bad......

Ringo also likes to be touted and can't help but look forward to it.

But in anticipation.

Still, he asked, "How is Tia?" ”

"It's twice as big as it used to be." Hermione shook her bracelet, "Here's me, for you." ”

Apparently.

Hermione still had a heart.

Dumbledore took advantage of Dumbledore's lack of attention to remove the storage bracelet that was on Harry's wrist - or Tia the young dragon would have starved for a few days.

Penelope on the side saw Ringo's storage bracelet.

Didn't speak.

She only parted after following her to the auditorium casually, and she had to sit with her friends.

And Ringo ......

ushered in his thunderous applause.

Whoa!

In the applause, most of the students from any college looked at him excitedly.

Or whistling or cheering:

"Great! One of our heroes, Ringo, has woken up! ”

"Ringo, I blamed you wrong!"

"It turns out that the snake is really useful, please forgive me for my stupidity, I've started learning from Hermione and Ron now......"

"How does it feel to be petrified? Brothers! ”

The little wizards came together.

One by one, they really stretched out their hands as if they saw heroes, just to be able to touch Ringo—as if they could touch the glory.

If it was Harry who had encountered such a scene.

Not even Harry.

Even Hermione and Ron were at a loss at first a few days ago.

But Ringo ......

He's the best at it.

Seeing people talking about people, talking nonsense, and encountering so many touted people, he communicated with them like a fish in water, striving not to snub anyone, and soon solved most of the people's doubts in turn, and then passed through the crowd and fell into the snake chief's table.

"Ringo!" The red-haired witch Sadie put her arms around Ringo's arm affectionately, seemingly supporting, but in fact it seemed to declare sovereignty, "Why did you just wake up?" Tell me directly, I can bring you food. ”

And the female prefect Farley.

He silently took out a small handkerchief and wiped the seat for Ringo, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes: "Sit down and eat, Ringo......"

She didn't hang "sir", and obviously wanted to be closer.

These two are so.

The little snakes around are even more honored-

Ron is really too good at blowing, although he has never seen a basilisk, but through Hermione's description, he still introduces the details of the adventure, the eighteen-meter-long, one-size-fits-all basilisk that dies at a glance, against it, is just petrified, which is shocking enough......

"Let's eat." Ringo sat down and issued the order.

That's when the little snakes moved.

But there is still a little snake curious: "Mr. Ringo, can you tell us the details......"

"Absolutely."

Ringo did not refuse, and carefully gave them the science of those levels......

……

After eating.

Ringo declined Hermione's invitation to the library, as well as Penelope's invitation to the Room of Requirement, and even dispersed the allegiance snakes who followed him.

In the name of it, I went back to the dormitory and slept for a while.

But......

In the dormitory, he still turned the pillow into himself as always, cast a confusion charm, and sat down until everything was safe, first returned to Shelby Manor, and told Daisy that they were safe, of course, on the way, he was also ravaged by Daisy again, and then returned to Hogwarts.

And after casting the illusion spell, he rushed from the dormitory to the girls' bathroom.

Taking advantage of the crying myrtle, she didn't pay attention.

Re-enter the chamber.

As soon as I entered, I heard a resentful snake whisper: "You came so late, I waited for several days and nights, and the meat in my stomach has already been digested......"

But in the eyes of the world, he is a basilisk who "helped Voldemort take away the Philosopher's Stone".

This eighteen-meter-long emerald green serpent.

At this time, he was venting and pressing a few mice to the ground, teasing them like cats and mice, wanting to eat, but not wanting to eat......

And in the middle of the basilisk's curled up body.

It is a stone statue with two faces, one for Quirrell and one for Voldemort.

"I'm sorry." Ringo replied in serpentine language.

"Nothing, you're the master." The basilisk moved slightly, causing the rats to flee in all directions, then lowered its head to look at the stone statue's Voldemort head, "But he ...... Seems to be the host too. ”
