Chapter 41: The Temptation of the Philosopher's Stone

Cedric smiled and agreed to Brie, maybe he himself wanted to find something to keep himself busy so that he wouldn't fall into self-blame, especially the dean who helped him, because he felt sorry for Sprout's expectations that he didn't make it to the finals this time.

"Well, I'll help you ask by the way, you're our dean's favorite student, and you're going to make her angry."

For more than a month, Brie had not scored a single point in the herbal medicine class, not that he had given up studying the herbal medicine class, but that he did not dare to raise his hand at all, and Professor Sprout ignored him.

"Oh, don't laugh, I didn't mean to, who gave me a reason to do something wrong." Brie opened her dark eyes and looked at Cedric obediently and said, "You're going to help me get the box back, right, Seid?" ”

"Hiss......" Cedric nodded stiffly.

"I'll do my best."

Brie happily ate another egg yolk pie, waved at Cedric and hurriedly left the hall, tonight he needed to go to Professor McGonagall's office, Professor McGonagall wanted to check his progress in learning Transfiguration, he was already familiar with the changes between dead and living things, and I believe he would soon become proficient.

"Come in, little Ode."

Professor McGonagall has begun to privately call Brie little Ode, and McGonagall likes sensible and studious little wizards, especially when it comes to asking about Transfiguration, which is McGonagall's strength and pride.

"So let me see, for example, how about turning a pillow into a kitten."

Professor McGonagall handed Brie the cushion in her chair, and Brie picked up her wand and cast a transfiguration spell on the pillow.

"Meow~"

A lively little black cat appeared in Brie's arms, and it slightly arched the back of Brie's hand, which was very intimate.

Handing the kitten to Professor McGonagall, the soft touch made the professor raise an eyebrow happily, she took a closer look at the kitten's body parts, pinched the cat's nose again, and saw the kitten sneeze before she used her wand to feel the kitten's internal magical structure.

"Great, I'd say you're the most gifted transfiguration wizard I've ever met, and maybe Dumbledore wasn't as good as you in his first year."

Professor McGonagall placed the kitten on the table, and excitedly picked up a copy of Transfiguration Newspaper Collection 1 from her bookshelf and gave it to Brie.

"I think you need this now, this is the highest authority on Transfiguration - the Animagus newspaper reports over the years, I have collected them all, of course this is not all, it has a lot, you can come to me after reading this one, I will also test your content, you have to let me see new surprises, when I feel that you are competent, I will teach you more advanced transfiguration techniques."

Rubbing Brie's head, McGonagall said: "Before this, you need to accumulate, you are only a step forward in Transfiguration, if you want to qualitatively change, you need more knowledge to reach the side, don't worry, a solid foundation is the most important power to learn Transfiguration." ”

Brie put the book away.

"Of course, I understand the dangers of Transfiguration, and I can guarantee that I won't learn advanced Transfiguration without your approval."

Professor McGonagall is a senior, a master of Transfiguration, Brie knows what to do, he is not a conceited person, there are many geniuses in this world, but there are few strong people, and the dead geniuses will not be respected, only ridiculed.

"It's good that you understand, now go back and rest, I hope I can see you tomorrow in the Quidditch match, you can see more, it will help you in your flying lessons."

When Brie heard Professor McGonagall's words, he couldn't agree with it, although he couldn't do well in flying lessons, but it was definitely not bad, and it was obvious that Professor McGonagall had other expectations for him, but he couldn't accept the sport of riding on a broomstick.

"Hmm...... Good night, Professor McGonagall, and hopefully Slytherin and Gryffindor will have a good friendly match. ”

Brie didn't say anything explicitly, but Professor McGonagall knew what Brie meant.

Leaving Professor McGonagall's office, Brie returned to the Slytherin common room, and instead of going to his dormitory immediately, he sat by the fireplace and silently read Professor McGonagall's excerpt of the Transfiguration report.

It's said to be a report.,In fact, it's a publication of their own ideas by some Transfiguration masters.,It's like a paper.,If you don't have an interest or opinion about it, I'm afraid you'll have a headache when you see it.。

"No one should tell you that this is my place, Ode!"

Malfoy walked into the lounge with a long package, followed by Goyle and Crabbe, Pansy and Daphne, and Theodore, who had been waiting in the lounge for a long time, but they didn't dare to point a word out to Brie.

"Come and see, this is my dad's new broom for me to congratulate me on my Quidditch title!"

Malfoy raised an eyebrow excitedly.

"This is a light wheel 2001, an in-house custom, not an expiring 2000, hum."

Harry's Light Wheel 2000 given to him by McGonagall is very precious, but Malfoy is Malfoy after all, he will always get better, who let him have a duplicitous and doting father, obviously said before that only Malfoy will buy him a new broom if he gets the first in his grade.

And now before the race, he was given the Halo 2001, which will only be released next year, tsk, it's Malfoy.

Brie looked up and watched Malfoy excitedly open the package, stroking the broom in a way that Brie couldn't accept.

"Your dad really loves you, but I hope he won't be sad that his son is in love with a broom, are you going to kiss it now?"

Brie withdrew her gaze and looked back at her book, more interested in knowledge than an object like a broomstick that was too much of a hassle to sweep the floor, even if the Transfiguration press was esoteric.

Brie had to go to the library to find more materials to refer to, which could be found in the general book section, and some of the esoteric ones were left for Professor McGonagall to answer.

That's the benefit of having a teacher, who has already prepared you for the path of learning, and you just need Brie to climb hard.

"Oh." Malfoy glared at Brie and sat down on the couch next to Brie with his broomstick.

"You'll never understand the charm of Quidditch, you have no idea what you've lost!" Malfoy was in a good mood, and he didn't seem to think that he might lose.

Brie couldn't help but slap Malfoy and said, "Victory is always uncertain, you won't know until the last minute, don't cry after losing, and complain to your father." ”

With that, Brie glanced teasingly at the flushed Malfoy, ignoring his angry gaze, the boy was sometimes mature, but sometimes naΓ―ve, and Brie felt that he was a little more Slytherin than he was.

A child who grew up in a honey pot pretended to be an adult.

Shaking his head, Brie still decided to end the day quickly, tomorrow is a good opportunity, the Philosopher's Stone, that is a treasure that can obtain unlimited wealth and lifespan, and even the former owner of the Corner Tower is willing to sell his soul for him.

When Brie learned a month ago that the Philosopher's Stone was likely to be in the fourth-floor exclusion zone at Hogwarts, she had information on the Philosopher's Stone.

Nicol Lemay, a master alchemist who lived for nearly six hundred years and is the only person in history to have made the Philosopher's Stone, is still alive and friends with Dumbledore.

The Philosopher's Stone can turn stones into gold, and it can also make elixirs of immortality......

"But why is it here?"

Brie was puzzled, so he simply prepared to go and see, the students will go out during the Quidditch match tomorrow, this is a good opportunity, some time ago the fourth floor of the forbidden area is an important patrol location for Filch, and Brie has to take a detour to the forbidden area to read books at night.

……

The next morning, Brie slept under the covers, unoblivious to the noise of Malfoy getting up in a hurry to put on his Quidditch uniform.

"How can a gluttonous and lazy person be a Slytherin?"

Malfoy complained about the shabby Sorting Hat again, but he didn't have time to spend time in Brie's bedroom.

It was long after Malfoy had left that Brie got up slowly, the most comfortable sleep he'd had in a month.

After Brie walked out of the dormitory, the Slytherin was already empty, it seems that almost all the little snakes have been dispatched, who let the battle against Gryffindor today, Slytherin is never bad in terms of house unity, and it doesn't matter if it's really united internally, it depends on everyone's ability.

Using the Ignore Charm and the Illusion Charm to the fourth floor, Brie approached the end of the hallway, where there was a passage that hadn't been cleaned in a long time, and it seemed that this was it.

But just as Brie was about to open the door, she heard a voice from outside!

Who is it?

What bad luck!

Brie looked around and saw that there was no place to hide, so he could only open the door and walk in.

"Wang!"

Three-headed dog!

How could there be a three-headed dog here, Brie was on guard with a wand in hand, ready to cast a spell on it at any time, but the person behind him was already approaching here, and he had to prepare to face a more complicated crisis.

I hope it's not Rocky!

"It's all petrified!" Brie used a spell to hit the three-headed dog on the head, but strangely enough, its three pairs of eyes were full of grievances.

The spell was only petrified for a moment before it was unraveled, and another voice came from behind Brie, as well as a pair of large hands pulling towards Brie.

"Get out!"

Snape limped out of the door and slammed it shut.

He stared viciously at Brie's flustered little face, and snorted, "I think Mr. Oude needs to explain to me why he's here." ”

Brie went around in his mind, where did he know that Snape would come, didn't he say that except for Dumbledore who was going to attend an important meeting outside the school, all the professors would go to manage order, this is fishing law enforcement!

Brie decided to be honest and said, "...... I heard Professor Quirrell. ”

"What!"

Snape stared at Brie's expression, as if to determine whether Brie was telling the truth.

"I don't think you're going to frame a professor for nothing, even if he can't win the affection of his students."

"Of course, anyone deserves respect, unless he really has something wrong, and I can guarantee that I am telling the truth, and I swear by Merlin's magic."
