Chapter 60: Harry Awakens
Maple was severely overdrawn and spent a few days in the hospital before Pomfrev allowed him to be discharged.
There was also a small episode during this time, when Ron was about to talk about his brilliant exploits, and accidentally leaked the Weasley brothers. But fortunately, he was knocked unconscious in the chessboard array, and he didn't know what happened after that. He didn't know that the Weasley brothers were controlled by the dark arts, and even cast an unforgivable spell on Hermione, and he didn't know about Fred's possession of Voldemort afterwards, so it wasn't a big deal to just say that the Weasley brothers were involved.
But when someone heard the news and asked Fred, who had been discharged from the hospital earlier, he couldn't say anything. It's fun to be part of such a thrilling thrill, but it's too much to be controlled throughout the whole process!
Seeing the empty expression of Fred, who had always been willing to take risks, his friend instantly showed a knowing look -
Understand! Understand!
Then he went back and changed Ron's version, turning the Weasley brothers from Ron's script into himself, and then racking his brains to add some heroic deeds to himself. The next day, with big dark circles under his eyes, he was full of energy and proclaimed the results of his night's struggle.
With the initiator, the others also had fun, and some shamelessly replaced Ron directly. Despite this turmoil, the Weasley brothers' affairs passed uneventfully. But after the students had fun, except for Harry, the original protagonist who was still lying in the hospital, not only the Weasley brothers, but even the identities of Ron and Hermione became blurred, and Maple had no sense of existence.
Because Ron was the only one who mentioned him at first, but at the time Maple was lying in the hospital and didn't show off his thoughts to anyone after he was discharged, his presence was quickly ignored.
The characters on the front are all rushing, but the character of Quirrell on the back is not changed. It's just that after the news came out, everyone was shocked. Who would have thought that the cowardly, cowardly, harmless stammering professor in Defence Against the Dark Arts class would be the villain?
If Quirrell hadn't been exposed, if he had to let the students outside of Slytherin vote for the villain, the final result would have been Snape, and probably unanimous vote.
Even Fred was confused: "I hit George on the head with a snowball?" ”
Hey, seeing Fred's face, Maple decided not to tell them that they had smashed Quirrell not only in the face, but also in the face of Voldemort possessing Quirrell.
Unable to believe it, and thinking it was too bizarre, Quirrell disappeared and never appeared in the teacher's chair to defend himself, and the students soon believed that it was true.
The worldview of the students who had once laughed at and looked down on Quirrell collapsed in an instant, and at the same time, they were glad that when they said bad things about Quirrell—
He didn't see it! He doesn't know!
When Harry woke up, the first person to see him was Dumbledore, and Madam Pomfrey considered it the headmaster's prerogative and did not object.
Is the Philosopher's Stone still ruined? In fact, Hagrid was wrong, the safest thing was not Hogwarts, but Dumbledore. After all, castles are dead things, and the biggest guarantee of Hogwarts' safety is actually Dumbledore.
If it weren't for the fact that he was already old and needed a new wizard to carry the banner of maintaining world peace in his place, Dumbledore personally stopped it, neither Quirrell nor the Chamber of Secrets would have caused such serious consequences.
Although the Philosopher's Stone was guaranteed to be safe as long as Dumbledore was worn on him, Nicolame decided to destroy the Philosopher's Stone anyway. Because the owner of the Philosopher's Stone is Nicolame, this can only be his own decision, and Dumbledore cannot make decisions for him.
However, perhaps Nicolame had this idea as early as when the Philosopher's Stone was remembered, and since Dumbledore wanted to use the Philosopher's Stone to train his successor, he naturally had no opinion. Now the last mission of the Philosopher's Stone has been completed, and it is time to end.
Philosopher's stone can only make people immortal, but it can't make people immortal, although it can be immortal, but the aging of the body and the weakening of magic power are things that cannot be contained. This is probably one of the reasons why Nicolame is not so obsessed with the Philosopher's Stone!
If you live comfortably, you want to live longer, and since ancient times, it is the emperor who has chased immortality the most, and he is also the emperor who holds great power and governs the world.
After a pleasant chat with Dumbledore, Harry and Maple, Ron and Hermione meet, and Harry tells them about the thrilling duel with Quirrell, and Ron and Hermione gasp when they hear the face of Voldemort, the elder in the back of Quirrell's head.
Hermione didn't notice the scream, though, as she had already faced Fred possessed by Voldemort once.
Hermione didn't hide it from Harry, telling them about Maple and her fight with the Weasley brothers, and Ron screamed again when he heard that Fred was also possessed by Voldemort, and then Maple got a little bit of a scholarship from him.
But neither of these sounds of fear was as shocking as hearing Dumbledore destroy the Philosopher's Stone—
"Immortality, and endless wealth, is it ruined like this?" Ron clearly couldn't understand that Dumbledore's so-called death was another great adventure, and Ron, who had been fed up with the poverty of his family, also longed for more gold.
Soon, they also understood that Dumbledore seemed to be deliberately guiding them to the Philosopher's Stone.
"Oops, if that's the case, it's terrible, you're probably going to be killed, Harry!" Hermione said worriedly.
"No, it's not, Professor Dumbledore is a very interesting man. I think he probably wanted to give me a chance, and although he seemed to know what we were going to do, he didn't stop it, but taught us a lot of things. He seemed to think that I had the right to face Voldemort if it was possible! Harry disagreed with Hermione, thoughtfully.
"Hermione, I think Harry is right, too. From Fred and George, you can also clearly see that there are too many unknown dangers in the wizarding world. It's not that we don't ignore them, and these dangers don't exist.
Just like car accidents in the Muggle world, if you refer to a single person, the probability of him getting into a car accident is very low, and car accidents seem to be far away for him, but deaths from car accidents happen almost every day. ”
"Hermione, you and I are both from the Muggle world, do you know why the world is so peaceful now?" Maple asked as a result of a sudden topic.
"I don't know!" Although Hermione loved to read, it was all about study and schoolwork, and she had no access to the history of World War I and World War II until she was eleven years old.
"In 1914, the First World War swept across Europe, with more than 65 million people taking part and more than 30 million dead.
In 1939, World War II began in Europe, but as early as 31 years, the flames of war in Asia had already been ignited. The world war enveloped the whole world. More than two billion people are involved in wars, and the number of casualties on the battlefield alone is close to hundreds of millions, and the number of civilian casualties outside the battlefield is too high to be counted.
Only about 20 years later, there were two world wars, but now more than half a century after the end of World War II, the world has remained largely peaceful.
Because in World War II, the Muggles developed a terrible weapon called the nuclear bomb, a nuclear bomb can destroy a city of hundreds of thousands of people, and it was when it was first built.
Now that several countries have mastered this technology, no one dares to start a third world war under mutual fear. ”
"I don't know what Voldemort's state is now, but apparently he's not dead yet, and he could come back at any time, maybe before we are adults. Now that Voldemort could come back at any time, the gang that controls Fred and George is not a good one, but we only have one Dumbledore! ”
Seeing the solemn expressions of the three of them, Maple originally wanted to say that Dumbledore was old, but the other party was much more energetic than Dumbledore, but seeing the current age of the three of them, it was better to forget it.
"Harry had defeated Voldemort once when he was a child, and perhaps he was Voldemort's destined nemesis. We stood together this time to stop Voldemort from taking the Philosopher's Stone, and in the future, when Harry faced Voldemort himself, who had regained his magical powers, we could not leave him alone in danger.
So, although we are still young now, we must not slack off. ”
"Hermione, I think Dumbledore is deliberately giving us a chance, and although there is danger, it is a rare opportunity to improve us."
"And, Ron, don't be afraid to mention Voldemort's name. Because you are destined to bring him down with Harry and us, so that he never turns over and never comes back.
How's that, isn't that cool? What is your brother's prefect, what is the president of the student council, and what is more glorious than defeating Voldemort? ”
"Dude, that sounds cool!"
"yes, man, it's cooler to do!"
"Why do you talk so much like Fred?"
"Don't you talk like George?"
"Hahaha, mystery man, well, Voldemort!" After the initial discomfort, he bravely said Voldemort's name, as if the shadow in his heart had been removed, and his eyes were open.
"Great, Ron!" Harry immediately complimented.
Maple and Hermione were about to speak, but Madam Pomfrey barged in: "Alright, boys, you've been here for almost half an hour, get me out now!" ”
The next day, the last day of the school year, at the school banquet, Harry had Dumbledore's permission to relent, allowing Madam Pomfrey to let him go.
Then Hagrid came to see Harry, and when he saw Harry's condition, he couldn't help but cry and regret, and Harry managed to reassure Hagrid so that he would not blame himself, and then Hagrid gave Harry a gift.
He was very fond of satisfying gifts, and Hagrid collected many photos of Harry's parents from Harry's father's friends and gave them to Harry in an album. After the Mirror of Eris, Harry saw the pictures of his parents and family again, smiling and waving at him on every page, and Harry was both happy and sad, flipping through the album page by page, looking at all the photos over and over again.
When Hagrid saw this, he quietly retreated, leaving Harry with room for his own memories.
