Chapter 39: Exposure

Hufflepuff Lounge

"Find a time, let's go to the Forbidden Forest again" Ivy lay on the couch and roasted the fire

"Haven't you already made up that base? Why are you still running in? Betty sat next to him, flipping through the books.

"That's just the normal version, Muggles do. As a wizard, I have to be more stylish. ”

"You're not afraid of another basket," Betty reminded him of the last experience

"I'm not the same as I was then. Besides, don't you still have yours - how are elemental spells? ”

"I didn't have much talent for these offensive spells, so I learned one"

"Enough!"

"Do you have eyebrows for the young dragon essence blood?"

"It's simple. After a while, a trip to Hagrid will be done, but now is not the time. Ivy knew it.....

β€”β€”β€”β€”

The next day, between classes, Ivy and Betty were sitting on a bench in the courtyard basking in the sun.

"Ivey, you would never have imagined! Something was hidden in that room. The trio ran over in high spirits

"Who is Nicol Lemay?" Ivy replied lazily

"That's right! But thanks to Neville's card, Ron was also pleased

"So in that roomβ€”" Ivy followed their words

"Philosopher's Stone! That room contains the Philosopher's Stone," Hermione excited, and she continued, "an ancient alchemical artifact that can turn any metal into gold. And most importantly, it can make people immortal! Its bearer, Nicolamay, lived to be more than 650 years old! ”

"It's quite detailed," Ivy exclaimed, "since the problem is pretty much sorted out - who do you think is more suspicious, Snape or Quirrell." ”

"Quirrell!" Ron was the first to speak up, offering a very different opinion than the last time

"That's right, it's Quirrell!" Hermione explained, "Dumbledore must have known that someone was trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone, so he took it out and protected it. Snape had been at Hogwarts for so long, and Dumbledore didn't react. Quirrell's immediate start to change was telling. And as you've said before, Quirrell was there on the day Gringotts was stolen. ”

Well-founded and convincing. Ivy was about to say nice

"But the last time I went to the Magic Mirror in the Cloak of Invisibility, I ran into both of them - don't worry, I wasn't spotted (Hermione looked at him with a frown). Snape tugged at Quirrell's collar and spoke menacingly. He doesn't look like a good person like that. "Harry can be stubborn at times

"You're too subjective, and your opinion isn't just at all." Hermione was unhappy with Harry's rhetoric, "It's clear that all the clues point to Oddle's suspicion that Snape is much more suspicious!" ”

"That's right! Harry, though I hate Snape too. But this matter is obvious, and it must be Qiluo. Ron chimed in

"Well, I agree with what you said, it's Qiluo who is more suspicious." Harry said helplessly

"Don't be so reluctant, it just so happens that we still have a chance to verify." Ivey laughed

"What chance?"

"I've just heard that the next Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff game will be refereed by Snape."

"What!"

"Snape is the referee, he's going to make things difficult for us!"

"It's over, our Quidditch Cup is gone! We can't get the House Cup! ”

The three of them cried wolf howls

"Well, these are secondary, and being able to discern whether Snape is a good person or not is the key. Snape was the Headmaster, and if he was a thiefβ€”" Ivy didn't go on, believing the three understood what he meant.

"You're right, protecting the Philosopher's Stone is the key," Harry agreed

"Butβ€”wouldn't it be too risky?" Hermione was a little worried, "If we misjudge, then Harry will be dangerous." ”

"Otherwise, you don't have to compete, it's safer." Ron said a solution

"Don't worry, it's important for us to find out where Snape stands, and we have to be tempted!" Harry had made up his mind

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Gryffindor's dressing room before the game.

Wood pulled Harry aside and said solemnly

"It's not that I want to pressure you, Harry. But we need to catch the Snitch today faster than ever, and we can't give Snape time to favor Hufflepuff. ”

Unfortunately, Harry was in no mood to answer him. He was nervous now, although he was almost certain that Snape was a good man, but he was afraid of what happened.

He's gambling with his life

In the Hufflepuff stands, Ivey and Betty were already in their positions, ready to cheer on their own academy.

"Dumbledore is here, and the effect is greatly reduced. It's not a big problem though."

He glanced at the Gryffindor stands, which were very lively. Five or six people scuffled together, and it was the trio of Ron, Neville, and Malfoy.

Ron first landed a straight punch in Malfoy's right eye, and Malfoy was not to be outdone, hitting Ron in the nose with a backhand hook. Then the two simply hugged each other and pinched each other's necks.

On the side, Neville and the three were already rolling on the ground, and it seemed that Neville was on the downside.

"Is there another fight?" Betty followed his line of sight

"It should be said that they finally started fighting. Every time, it is a mouthpiece, and people are in a hurry to die. Ivy gloated

"Your friend was beaten, and you just watched"

"No, I prayed to them in my heart"

It will be turning the gaze to the field. Truth be told, even though he and Harry were friends, Ivey was eager to see Gryffindor lose the House Cup, so he's been cheering on his team.

However, my own team is really not good~ The others are okay, but the gap between the Seekers is too big.

Sure enough, only five minutes into the game, the Golden Snitch was caught by Harry.

"Yay! We won! ”

"Long live Harry Potter!"

Even the commentator Lee Jordan couldn't contain the excitement in his heart

"Everyone, let's congratulate Gryffindor!"

β€”β€”β€”β€”

"What the hell, sneaky" big night, Ivy is pulled into this room by the trio.

"Shhhhh Then he told them everything he had seen in the Forbidden Forest.

"What do you think?" After listening, Ivey asked

"I now believe that Qiluo is the thief." Harry thought for a moment

"Why? Listening to what you said, I felt a little sympathetic. Ron was surprised

"It's so fake! He was pretending too much. I can't imagine how such a person could be a teacher of Defence Against the Dark Arts class. Ron, think about the other professorsβ€”Ms. Hooch, Professor McGonagall, even Snape. Compared to them, Qiluo's performance is simply unremarkable. Even Neville knew about resistance, and he looked like he was trying to confuse others and keep himself out of sight. ”

Harry's wisdom would be incredible

"Now that the suspect has been identified, the rest is easy to handle. Pay more attention to Qiluo in the future, don't let him take advantage of it. Ivey concluded

"But I heard that the stone was soon gone," Ron said suddenly

"That's better, even the time of the crime has been determined"

"Quirrell will definitely make a move at this time," Hermione said heavily

Looking at the three of them with gloomy faces, Ivy said slowly, "Don't think about it, the conditions are more favorable to us now." Oddfall probably didn't know he was exposed, and judging by his current performances, he was certainly not as strong as Snape. ”

"Shall we tell Dumbledore directly? It's safest," Hermione suggested

"No, we don't have evidence, no one will believe us. You can refer to Hagrid for this. Harry shook his head
