Chapter 44: What Dumbledore wants
"Oh, Snape is his headmaster!" Ron still couldn't help but say, "At the Quidditch match that day, he was the one who cast a spell on Harry, and that broom almost killed you, don't tell Snape!" ”
Ron warned Brie, who rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, Snape took my wand, I'm still angry with him, and I'm even more angry to hear you guys." ”
"Still." Brie covered the faint flush in his eyes with his hand and said, "What's the matter with Professor Quirrell, I obviously saw that he wanted to enter the forbidden area on the fourth floor." ”
Hermione also made a gesture of thought.
"Maybe he found out about Snape's plan, after all, the Philosopher's Stone is... It's ......"
Oh, it seems that Harry and the others have not yet discovered the relationship between the Philosopher's Stone and Nicol Lemay, as well as the role of the Philosopher's Stone.
Brie wasn't going to tell them that he needed to watch and watch to his advantage.
"I think we should find out the secret of the Philosopher's Stone first, but I'll have to go upstairs now, because I'll have to talk to Headmaster Dumbledore about the broomstick."
Brie looked at Harry's face, the green pupils under his glasses were very deep, and the whole person was a little reserved, who let Brie stare at him.
"Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you, you are also a victim, and I can also promise not to say what you said to me today until this matter is perfectly over."
With that, Brie waved to Hermione, left the corner, and walked up the stairs.
Ron frowned, "He's not going to go to Dumbledore right now, is he?" ”
Harry came to his senses.
"I think it would be more useful for him to go to Snape, after all, Snape hates me to the point of wanting to kill me."
Hermione looked at Brie as she left, her eyes full of doubt, and he felt that Brie had something to hide from her.
"Find out the secret of the Philosopher's Stone and the truth will be revealed."
Hermione confidently said that she wouldn't ask Brie because she believed she could solve the puzzle, and it was like an after-class competition.
Brie came to the door of the Headmaster's office and said to the stone statue in the doorway, "Can you inform Headmaster Dumbledore?" ”
Soon the door opened.
"Sorry to bother you, Headmaster."
Dumbledore sat behind the Headmaster's desk, looking at a candy leaflet.
"Oh, it's not a big deal." Dumbledore didn't put the list down, and asked, "Is there anything wrong, Mr. Ode?" ”
"Chirp!" Phoenix Fawkes on the side chirped from the wooden shelf, as if trying to get close to Brie.
"Look, it likes you."
Dumbledore caught a glimpse of the cheerful phoenix and looked inquiringly at Brie.
Brie said, "It's about broomsticks... I think I know the murderer. ”
The broomstick had already attracted the attention of the young wizards, especially the professors, who had also discovered traces of dark magic in it, which made Professor McGonagall angry, but she was always busy and had to leave the matter to Snape, who unfortunately disappeared here.
"Oh, Snape told me about it, sorry to get you hurt at Hogwarts, you can rest assured, we'll take care of it."
"Tell me about your murderer, then?"
Dumbledore put down the list in his hand, and the blue eyes behind the half-moon glasses flashed, a little surprised by Brie's words.
"Snape?" Dumbledore stared at Brie strangely.
"I think you should have faith in the professors at the school, although Snape is a little harsh, but who makes him a good potions master, the pursuit of potions will always make him lose something, such as not being good at expressing himself."
Dumbledore seemed to remember, and when he secretly saw that Brie's gaze became less determined, he laughed and said, "We will investigate this matter in detail, until then you can stay away from what you think is the murderer, I hope your dean will not be sad." ”
Seeing that Brie did not refute, Dumbledore slowly continued, "You are very good and very vigilant...... I'll have the other professors assist Snape. ”
Dumbledore winked at Brie.
"It's also spying on him, do you think it's okay?"
Brie smiled inwardly, but his face showed nervousness, he had verified the answer.
"Sure, but I just want to be sure of one thing right now."
"You're going to watch what's going on behind the scenes, right, I don't want to go to the school hospital again."
Dumbledore sat up in his chair and replied in the affirmative to Brie, "I'll be watching, there are other professors watching while I'm away, it's our duty to protect the little wizards, you can trust Hogwarts." ”
……
Leaving the principal's room, he was expressionless and didn't let out a breath until he returned to the corner tower.
"It's certain that Dumbledore won't make a move... He was obviously the headmaster, the strongest white wizard of his time, why was he letting that Quirrell go, what did he want? ”
Brie is a firm believer that no one would want to do something that doesn't make sense.
"The secrets are all hidden in the forbidden area on the fourth floor, the Philosopher's Stone is the bait, and Quirrell is...... Chessman? ”
"Dumbledore is trying to lure out the master behind Quirrell!"
Yes, Brie understood, but he couldn't forgive Dumbledore, it was putting Hogwarts in danger, was he sure that everyone was safe, no!
Brie herself almost died.
"The Greatest White Wizard... To what extent is it white, or is his vision higher to another level, those who take care of the overall situation are not informal, and sacrifice is inevitable? ”
But is this style of doing things suitable for Hogwarts, the answer is even more no, Hogwarts's job is to teach and educate people, even if it was built into a fortress thousands of years ago, it cannot be changed.
"I appreciate people who have a big picture, but I can't tolerate being a pawn on the chessboard that is sacrificed."
Brie has never been so angry, he hates to be controlled by people, being able to use the contract, and restricting Quirrell even at the cost of injury is a kind of embodiment, life is precious, freedom is priceless, temporary forbearance is okay, but it must not be resigned.
Brie decided that he would go to the penalty area, since Quirrell is also a pawn, then let this pawn stay in the penalty area forever, as for the master behind Quirrell, it is Dumbledore to deal with, and Brie has nothing to do with it.
After this incident is over, Brie doesn't want to touch Dumbledore at all, this person is terrible, who knows if he will be sold and be grateful to Dade!
Self-righteous Dumbledore, huh!
But what about the savior?
As long as he thinks about it, Brie can find out that Dumbledore is partial to Harry, if he guesses correctly, the exception of Quidditch's selection rules is because of him, otherwise there are no outstanding students in any world, why did he make an exception after the arrival of this Savior.
At that time, when Dumbledore said that he could participate in Quidditch in the first year, Professor McGonagall, who was in charge, was pleasantly surprised.
"The Boy of the Great Disaster defeated the Dark Lord...... A one-year-old kid at the time defeated the mystery man? ”
Thinking of the faint lightning-shaped scar on Harry's head when he saw him, Brie seemed to realize something.
"So Quirrell's master is a mystery man?"
"The mystery man isn't dead yet!"
Brie supported his head with his hands, his head hurt a little, the recent events were too complicated, he felt like he had fallen into a big net, and there were obviously many breakthrough points, but he couldn't move, and all the opportunities hadn't come yet.
The speculation that the mysterious man did not die made Brie feel incredible and take it for granted, how could a famous character die so easily and strangely, and the mysterious man was not brain-dead.
"Dumbledore asked Hagrid to fetch the Philosopher's Stone from Gringotts, then Hagrid must be someone Dumbledore trusted, and the news they got from Potter and Hermione is likely to be deliberately revealed by Dumbledore."
"Why, Mr. Potter is not even good at studying, so he is better at riding a broom."
……
"Brie, what are you muttering?" Verle spat out the lamp oil sparks on the side, looked at Brie's low spirits, and said with concern.
"Maybe you should go to dinner, it's not too early."
"Goo......
"You're right, Verne."
Brie put aside the doubts in his heart for the time being, he only needed to reveal the secrets of the forbidden area on the fourth floor to understand everything, why bother to be so sad.
Brie leaves the Corner Tower and hears Cedric's voice after dinner.
"The little box is for you, and Professor Sprout asked me to give it back to you...... But. ”
But?
Brie couldn't help but get nervous, but she didn't find the unicorn corpse in the flower garden.
Looking at Brie's nervous appearance, Cedric smiled and said, "Professor Sprout said that he wanted to prepare the Christmas decoration plants in the near future, so he needed some little wizards to help, and he specially ordered you." ”
"Whew, oh that's a trifle, alas, but Christmas is coming, it's so fast."
Brie's eyes were a little sad, but the emotion quickly faded, and Cedric didn't even react.
"Aren't you going home?" Cedric asked.
Brie didn't seem to have spoken to anyone about himself, and he wasn't prepared to do so.
"I decided to stay on campus and hope that Christmas at Hogwarts is safer than Halloween."
When Cedric listened, he seemed to remember that when he was at King's Cross Station, Brie was also a man, and based on Brie's owl exchanges in the past few months, Cedric vaguely knew something.
"If you don't mind, I can invite you to my house for Christmas."
"I'm sorry, Cedric, I don't think I'm used to it, I'll be happier at Hogwarts."
Brie wasn't telling a lie, he never liked Christmas, because it was the day Brie was left in the orphanage, and it was also Betty's hated birthday, but Brie never gave her a birthday present, and Betty only gave Brie a satchel when he was 9 years old.
Perhaps it would be possible to take advantage of Christmas when most of the young wizards were home to explore the Forbidden Zone on the fourth floor, a day when many professors would also leave Hogwarts, and I heard that Quirrell was leaving as well......
Alas, wait, Brie doesn't think it's necessarily a good time, because the last time Quidditch was matched, Brie thought the same thing, and the result made Brie regret it, stealing chickens and rice, depressed!
