CHAPTER XXVI
Wood's mouth opened and closed, and the Gryffindor Quidditch team members looked dumbfounded.
"What? What did Wood say? George put his arm on Fred.
"He said Snape was the referee of the Quidditch final." Fred replied subconsciously.
Harry didn't know how he got back to the common room, he felt like it was all over.
"You don't want to compete."
"How about faking illness?"
"Let's just say your leg is broken."
"Really break your legs."
Hermione and Ron had learned the situation from Harry, and you had an idea.
Harry shook his head, "Gryffindor doesn't have a substitute seeker, and if I don't play, the Gryffindor team won't even be able to play. ”
Kano comforted, "It's okay, I don't think Snape will face you in front of the whole school." ”
"Our opponent in the final was Hufflepuff, and having Slytherin's dean, Snape, be the referee was restricting him."
"Headmaster Dumbledore must have his own arrangements."
Harry nodded, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
At this moment, Neville jumped in from the mouth of the portrait hole, his round face flushed.
Everyone in the common room laughed, but Hermione didn't laugh and stepped forward to unlock his leg-locking spell, and Kano pulled an armchair for him to sit down.
"Malfoy, that guy blocked me outside the library, saying he wanted to try his newfound spell." Neville's clothes were still stained with blood, and the three of Harry stood up with ugly faces as they prepared to go to Professor McGonagall.
Kano looked at Neville carefully, "This blood, not yours?" ”
"Of course not." Neville laughed, "Malfoy let Crabbe and Goyle catch me and cast the Leg-Locking Charm on me. As soon as he finished casting the spell, I put my head on his nose. ”
"Harry, Malfoy's face was covered in blood when he was taken away by his henchmen." Neville shook his fist excitedly.
Harry laughed at the thought of Malfoy, who had a nosebleed calling his father on the night of the duel.
The Gryffindors in the common room were clamoring and offering snacks to celebrate Malfoy's hapless nose.
Neville seems to have shown courage to resist his oppressor early, because he was faced with Malfoy, who had been deflated many times?
Kano couldn't tell, but it was a good thing.
At that moment, Harry let out a low growl of annoyance. He was holding a picture of a chocolate frog in his hand, and the bearded Dumbledore was looking at him curiously.
"Nicolame, I've found it."
He flipped over the back of the card and pointed out a line of small print to Kano and the others.
"Dumbledore and Nicolame discovered twelve uses of dragon blood."
Kano calmly watched as Hermione ran back to the dormitory, took out a thick book, spread out one of the pages and pointed it out to them.
The book reads:
Ancient alchemy involved the refining of the Philosopher's Stone, a magical substance with amazing functions. The Philosopher's Stone can turn any metal into pure gold, and it can also create an elixir of life that will make those who drink it immortal.
There have been many reports about the Philosopher's Stone over the centuries, but the only remaining Philosopher's Stone belongs to the famous alchemist and opera lover Nicole Lemay. He celebrated his 665th birthday last year and now lives in seclusion in Devon with his wife, Perenal (658).
"He has the only philosopher's stone in this world, called the Philosopher's Stone, the Sage's Stone, anything." Hermione lowered her voice, "Hagrid's big dog must be guarding it, and that thing is at Hogwarts." ”
"Snape must want to get it, as long as he gets the Philosopher's Stone, he can turn it into gold, and he can never die." Harry went on to say with the excitement of solving the puzzle, "Anyone is tempted, isn't it?" ”
Ron also took over: "This man is more than six hundred years old, no wonder we can't find him among the famous magicians of modern times. ”
Kano listened to the discussion of the little ones and interrupted them.
"I have a question, why did Nicolame put the Philosopher's Stone, which is worth his life, at Hogwarts?"
The three of them looked at each other and couldn't answer for a while.
"Hogwarts is the safest place in wizarding world." Harry wasn't so sure.
"Harry, Gringotts is safe, would you leave the Cloak of Invisibility there?"
"Of course not." Harry reflexively said, "How can something so important... Leave? ”
"Yes, the Philosopher's Stone is such an important thing, and it is better to put it on your body than to rest assured." Kano shook his head, "I'll just get to the point, I'm afraid this thing is bait." ”
"Bait?" Hermione seemed to think of something, "Who does Dumbledore want to fish with it?" ”
"Maybe Snape, or someone else." Kano said that he didn't know, and the three little guys with hot brains were splashed with a basin of cold water and slowly calmed down.
"It seems that there is still a lot of complexity behind this matter?" Harry also had mixed feelings, feeling as if he had done useless work.
"There must be something else going on in this matter, but Harry, that doesn't stop us from eating melons and watching the show, does it?" Kano patted Harry on the shoulder, stretched, and went back to sleep.
Why did Kano, who had been wandering all the time, suddenly intervene? Very simple.
Dumbledore has a whole set of Harry the Brave training plan, which is very flexible, and how to implement it depends on Dumbledore's micro-manipulation.
Dumbledore's micro-manipulation level was very high, almost equivalent to a dozen or so eternal perfectionists. But one of the features of his plan is to let the Triangle do its job.
Harry was in charge of going head-to-head with Voldemort and didn't need a brain. Ron was a pure-blood and knew the invits of the wizarding world well. Hermione is brilliant and is the brains and logistical of the Iron Triangle.
But throughout the process of defeating Voldemort, Harry often misjudged because of his bad feelings for Snape, and led his little friends to the ditch.
Not to mention his impulsiveness, which directly killed the godfather Sirius.
So Kano is going to add a lot of money to Dumbledore's plan to give Harry a long brain, and maybe he will be able to do less bad things because of impulsiveness in the future.
He couldn't sit idly by and watch whoever was next to him die in Harry's future.
Kano lay on the bed, thinking about the trap Dumbledore had set for Voldemort this year.
It seemed that Harry still trusted himself now, but if he followed him by then, those levels could be pushed all the way.
It is more difficult to work without contribution, after all, Hermione can see her strength very clearly when she is in class.
Do you want to find an excuse to disappear for a while like Dumbledore?
Or, take this opportunity to make two moves with Voldemort in advance to see what kind of state he is in now?
Now that I'm going to have no problem playing Quirrell, I guess it's no problem.
