Chapter 103: The Hidden Secret
A moment later, Rosie, who was facing the collision with her eyes closed, did not feel the pain of being impacted, but heard a somewhat familiar female voice ask a little nervously:
"Who are you? Where did it come from? ”
Immediately afterwards, there were two familiar male voices: "Yes, who are you?" ”
Rosie opened her eyes and saw Hermione, Harry, and Ron nervously standing across from her and the others, pointing their wands at the four of them across a desk.
"Hey Harry, Hermione, we're meeting again."
Rosie glanced at the ground that looked very flat under his feet, and confirmed that the flood of rapids did not break through the floor and rush up again, before finally relieving himself completely, and greeted the other side with a smile.
"It's you (it'?!!)"
Harry and Hermione spoke at the same time.
Ron behind them asked in surprise, "You know her?" ”
"I saw it in Diagon Alley before school started." Hermione explained to Ron.
Hearing this, Harry next to him nodded repeatedly, indicating that he was the same.
"Why are you all here all of a sudden?" Hermione asked again.
Rosie pursed her lips slightly, and then suddenly smiled again: "In the face of you, I don't think there is any need to hide it. ”
As she spoke, she made a mysterious expression and said, "But don't spread it, a few of us are here to protect the Philosopher's Stone." ”
"Protecting the Philosopher's Stone ?!!"
Hearing this, Hermione and Ron looked at each other in disbelief, and the wand in their hands unconsciously tilted down quite a bit.
Harry, on the side, still looked unmoved:
"From the beginning you said you wanted to protect the Philosopher's Stone, but Hagrid has turned you down, how did you get into Hogwarts? And how do you prove that you are not the ones who want to steal the Philosopher's Stone? ”
Rosie looked at Harry for a moment with clear eyes, then quickly glanced over the few portraits and silver instruments that hung in the spacious room. Then, her eyes paused for a few seconds on a gilded perch behind the door, finally froze on a patched, dirty-tattered peaked hat.
Seeing this, even if she didn't open the system map, she could tell where this was from her somewhat vague impression - the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts.
"Good thing Dumbledore and his phoenix aren't here."
Thinking so to herself, Rosie turned her gaze back to Harry's again, and smiled at the corners of her mouth:
"Hagrid turned us down, but that doesn't mean Hogwarts turned us down."
"Otherwise, how do you think we ended up in the headmaster's office?" Rosie deliberately didn't give a positive answer, but asked, "It's you three little guys, Dumbledore is no longer here, how did you get in?" ”
Hearing this, Ron, who had already let down his guard, said proudly: "I got the password right." ”
"Ron!" Hermione glared at Ron dissatisfied, then turned to Rosie and said, "We have something important to ask the headmaster, so we're here to wait for him." ”
As she spoke, she and Harry looked at each other again, and after a brief eye contact, the two slowly lowered their wands. ”
"Something important? What about the Philosopher's Stone? ”
Seeing that the other party didn't reply, Rosie smiled secretly in his heart: This little girl, she is really wary.
After slowly taking a few steps closer to the three of them around the desk, Rosie said softly:
"Although Harry is known as the savior of the wizarding world, I don't want you to be involved in these things, after all, you are still children."
Looking at the unconvinced expressions on the faces of the three Harry, Rosie continued: "Whether it's Voldemort or the Death Eaters, it's up to us adults to deal with it, at your age, carefree reading and playing is enough." ”
"Volt ...... Mystery man? Death Eaters?!! Hermione couldn't help but be startled when she heard Rosie's words, she never thought that the Philosopher's Stone would have something to do with the mysterious Death Eaters.
Harry, who was on the side, remembered the conversation between Rossi and Hagrid at Gringotts, and said seriously:
"I remember you said that Voldemort is my mortal enemy, and since he wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone, then I must stop him!"
"Block?" Jiang Jing chuckled lightly and interjected, "What stop it?" I doubt you've ever found anything useful. ”
Provoked by Jiang Jing's words, Ron raised his voice and said, "Of course there is!" We've found out where the Philosopher's Stone is hidden in ......."
"Ron! Shut up, he's spoigning you! ”
Hermione interrupted him, her brown eyes once again occupied by suspicion, and she looked at Rosie and the others vigilantly, slowly raising the wand in her hand.
The atmosphere in the headmaster's room gradually became solemn, and judging from the expressions of the three Hermione, there was a big sense of fighting if they didn't agree.
At that moment, Rosie burst out laughing, gesturing for the three of them to put down their wands, and quietly distanced themselves from Harry and the others, giving them a sense of security.
"Hermione, you're thinking a little too much, he's just wondering what you've found."
After a pause, Rossi looked at Harry with bright eyes and chuckled, "Maybe you think it's a secret that the Philosopher's Stone is hidden on the fourth floor, but in fact, not only do we know that one of the Philosopher's Stones is hidden on the fourth floor, but we also know that the Hogwarts professors have set up a mechanism there. ”
"One of the Philosopher's Stones?" Harry's eyes widened and he asked.
"Yes, we've found another one, which was supposed to be given to Dumbledore for safekeeping, but unfortunately he's not here." Rosie said with some regret.
"She's Harry, the only known philosopher's stone recorded in the book, made by Nicolame in 1382, there is no second one!"
Hermione raised her nose and said disdainfully, "Don't try to fool us. ”
“1382?” Rosie was stunned for a moment, a little confused about this time.
Before he had time to think about it, he saw Ah Bai on the side suddenly speak: "You yourself said that it is known, can't there be an unknown magic stone?" ”
"That can't be!" Hermione said categorically.
"Not necessarily."
As he spoke, Ah Bai took out the Philosopher's Stone he had just obtained from his inventory and placed it on his desk.
"This, how is it possible?!"
Hermione's eyes widened, and her cheeks flushed.
Seeing her hesitant to her desk and Harry inspecting the Philosopher's Stone with the others, Rossi laughed silently and praised Aba for her tacit cooperation.
"It's true! I've read the description of it in the book, the appearance, texture, and the feeling of holding it in my hand are exactly as described! Hermione said with some surprise.
"Of course, it's true." Ah Bai stepped forward and put the gem away, "Now I believe we didn't lie to you, right?" ”
"If we're in league with Voldemort, then why did we come to Dumbledore with the Philosopher's Stone?" Without waiting for Harry to speak, Rosie took over the topic and said,
"Harry, we're running out of time, you must put aside your suspicions! We've been told that Voldemort has infiltrated Hogwarts, ready to strike at the Philosopher's Stone. Once he gets the Philosopher's Stone, relying on the power of the Philosopher's Stone, he will inevitably recover completely, and when the time comes, the wizarding world will face a huge disaster again! ”
"So we're running out for a lot of time, and if you find any other important clues, I want you to tell them."
Hearing Rosie's sincere words, the expressions of the immature Harry and the three were immediately moved.
Harry glanced sideways at Hermione, then said:
"We think there's something wrong with Snape, he's had a leg injury before, it must have been bitten by the three-headed dog guarding the Philosopher's Stone, and he was helping Voldemort! Moreover, he probably already knows how to get through the three-headed dog! That's why we're here to wait for Headmaster Dumbledore. ”
"Snape?" Erin muttered, "The Slytherin Dean? Potions professor at Hogwarts? ”
"Yes, that's him!" Harry nodded repeatedly.
"Is there any evidence?"
Although he knew the plot, in case the plot of the game changed, Rosie asked seriously, "I mean, in addition to the evidence of your subjective judgment." ”
"Not really." Speaking of this, Harry's expression was a little excited, "But we all think he's suspicious!" ”
"Suspicion alone does not condemn anyone, Harry!" Rosie first nodded at him earnestly, and then made an expression that seemed to have thought of something, and pretended to be surprised, "You just said that someone else knows how to pass the three-headed dog?" ”
"It's broken! Then we need to hurry up, whether that person is Snape or not, we can't let the Philosopher's Stone fall into the hands of each other. ”
————————
Somewhere in a secret Hogwarts place, a book with a slightly damp cover sits silently in the air.
The next moment, a little light suddenly lit up, vaguely showing a few lines of text in the book:
“…… After some discussion, the brainless Hagrid was persuaded by the female agent in front of him to take them ......"
(This line is crossed out)
"Grasping the words used in the words of the person you are talking to and deducing the true meaning behind the other person's words is an ability that a normal adult possesses. So, Hagrid sensed the problem in the other person's words and turned down the stranger from an unknown source. ”
……
“…… Because of the influence of ritual magic, Agent Rossi and her teammates in the cave will spend an entire year unaware......"
(The last few words are crossed out)
"Bizarre circumstances have happened, under the influence of some unknown force, Agent Rosie and her teammates have cracked the ritual magic in advance and successfully entered Hogwarts. Perhaps, they will have a special impact on the predetermined destiny......"
(The last sentence is crossed out)
“…… And entered the secret passage of Hogwarts, because of the peculiarity of the ghostly creatures, Sir Nicholas, who passed through the door of the secret passage, sensed the smell of strangers......"
Before he could reveal anything more, a wrinkled hand snapped shut.
