"Nicole Flamel... are you looking for the Philosopher's Stone?" Harry's expression froze when he heard that!
"Hmph! That's right, you must know about it too~" Hermione glared at Harry pretending to be angry.
She didn't blame Harry for hiding it from herself this time, because in her opinion, since Harry was willing to tell about the Philosopher's Stone, it meant that he already planned to tell herself.
It's just that, this time I took the lead, hehe~
"No... where did you get the news?" However, while Hermione was secretly complacent, Harry gradually frowned.
According to his current deduction, except for Dumbledore, all the professors in Hogwarts, including Hagrid, should not know that the hidden one is the Sorcerer's Stone!
So... where did Hermione find the clue?
"I overheard it~" Hermione snickered like a little beaver who stole a pine cone, "On Christmas Eve, I accidentally overheard Snape threatening Quirrell, during which he mentioned The name Ke Flamel, that's why I decided to investigate after returning to school. Here, take a look~"
Hermione pointed to the words on the page, which were all related to the Philosopher's Stone.
"The Philosopher's Stone is a product made by using ancient alchemy. It has the amazing effect of turning metal into pure gold. It can also make the elixir of life, so that people who drink this medicine will never die"
'The only surviving Philosopher's Stone belongs to the famous alchemist and opera lover, Nicole Flamel, who celebrated his 665th birthday last year and is currently living in Germany with his wife Perenal (658). county hermit'
The records in the book are quite detailed, but there is only one thing that Harry really cares about: the Sorcerer's Stone is the product of ancient alchemy!
The interspatial ring that Scamander gave to him was also made using alchemy, so... is there any connection between the two?
"Anyway, I've completely figured it out now!" Hermione smiled triumphantly, "The thing Hagrid brought back from Gringotts is the Sorcerer's Stone, and this stone should be placed under the trapdoor on the fourth floor right now. In the secret room, it is guarded by the three-headed giant dog."
"Moreover, through my stalking of Quirrell and Snape during this period of time, I also know... other professors in the school are also involved in the arrangement of organs, and they are guarding the Philosopher's Stone together!"
Wonderful~
The proud female schoolmaster held her head up like a swan, while Harry on the side applauded respectfully.
Hermione's brain is really not covered, and her thinking logic is even comparable to those maddening computers in the game~
I can know this by relying on my foresight of the plot, but Hermione deduced it completely by relying on fragments of information!
So, what on earth was the Sorting Hat thinking to sort such a smart girl into Gryffindor?
Is it completing the annual KPI?
"However, I still have some doubts... Why did Snape argue with Quirrell about the Philosopher's Stone? In addition, who is planning this stone?!"
Today's Snape doesn't have a bad relationship with Harry like in the original book, so Hermione didn't arbitrarily think that the other party was the first boss who wanted to take the Philosopher's Stone.
"He should just want to confirm the existence of the Philosopher's Stone. As for Quirrell...he is indeed not just a weak stutter."
When Harry gave Snape an injection that day, the other party was obviously hesitant about the existence of the Sorcerer's Stone. It can be seen that Snape should be like other professors. Although he participated in the organ arrangement, he didn't know what he was guarding.
And the reason why he now asks Quirrell about the Sorcerer's Stone may be that he has doubts about what everyone is protecting.
Of course, another possibility is actually greater, that is, someone assigned him to contact Quirrell!
On Halloween, Snape was bitten by a three-headed dog. Harry roughly recalled a little bit of the plot... In the original book, Quirrell said that Snape was going to the fourth floor to stop him.
So... Snape obviously went to stop Quirrell, but he was bitten himself. This logic doesn't make sense at all!
But if someone instructs him to do so, if the so-called 'prevention' is actually a 'false collusion', everything will be a matter of course.
Obviously, some people knew from the beginning that Quirrell was the real villain.
Here, I have to do it manually, Mr. Principal~
At this point, Harry was completely sure that the Sorcerer's Stone wasn't in Hogwarts at all!
The reason why Lao Deng sent Hagrid to Gringotts, and later recruited a bunch of professors to set up institutions with great fanfare, was to set up a fishing trap, so that Quirrell Voldemort, the iron man, would fall into the trap with his head depressed Drill~
Just imagine, Quirrell rushed ahead of Hagrid ecstatically and successfully invaded the vault, only to find that there was no Philosopher's Stone in it, but a fake that could immediately be associated with Old Deng. What expression would he have at that time?
Under the shock, this guy must subconsciously think that the Philosopher's Stone had already been taken away by Dumbledore, so he could only leave the scene there intact and hurried back to the school to search for it.
And his abnormal behavior of going back and forth during the holiday is enough for Dumbledore to lock his identity as the ghost.
After that, Lao Deng gathered a group of teachers to arrange the mechanism in full swing. Seeing this situation, Quirrell would naturally be extremely convinced that the Sorcerer's Stone should be in Hogwarts, and of course he would continue to jump up and down to crack the mechanism!
However, where the real Philosopher's Stone is, perhaps only Dumbledore knows.
But he used such an unnecessary stone to successfully trap Quirrell into a trap.
His ultimate goal in doing this is naturally to allow Harry, the savior, to meet Quirrell...
Then face Voldemort head-on!
(ps Actually, if you look back at the original book, there is really no big difference whether there is a Philosopher’s Stone or not. Voldemort snatched it for a long time, but got nothing; the protagonist suffered a lot and protected it for a long time, but this In the end, it was ruined... Poor LeMay couple, even just mentioned a name and then finished it, the above~)
Chapter 77 The librarian is on my side too (10/10)
"In short, Snape wants to protect the Philosopher's Stone, and Quirrell is the one with the problem, right~"
After discussing with Harry for a while, Hermione's previous two questions were considered solved.
But immediately after, an obvious unwillingness to admit defeat appeared on her face.
"I still can't figure out where I lost?!" Hermione pouted angrily, "I haven't seen you investigate this matter much, and you even spent a long time in the Room of Requirement, Why did you know Quirrell had a problem before I did?"
For the competitive Hermione, investigating the Sorcerer's Stone is a long-lost competition between her and Harry before the final exam. Even if she loses, she must lose!
"Because Quirrell is just a pawn, someone else really wants to take the Philosopher's Stone!" Harry silently covered the scar on his forehead, "You know, this place has been hurting recently..."
"This... Could it be?!" Hermione was stunned for a moment, and then became extremely flustered in an instant, "No! This matter must be told to the professors and Principal Dumbledore immediately! That volt..."
"Hermione, calm down first!!" Harry hurriedly grabbed the little witch's little hand that had nowhere to rest.
Her hands were cold now, obviously she was extremely nervous and worried.
"This matter is too serious. Once it is leaked, it will even bring panic to the entire wizarding world! What's more, do you remember what happened to Dobby?" Harry looked seriously into Hermione's eyes, "Before we didn't The headmaster and professors won’t believe it until we have solid evidence. Therefore, we can only hold back for now and try to collect as much evidence as possible...Uh, why are you looking at me like that?”
While patiently comforting him, Harry suddenly noticed that Hermione was looking at him with a strange look.
"I thought...you would be as reticent as before, trying to exclude me." Hermione wrinkled her nose inadvertently, "At least you have a conscience this time~"
"Of course I don't want you to participate, but... I know you won't listen to me." Harry shook his head with a wry smile, but his eyes gradually became firmer, "And now I feel that you only , is the safest!!"
The current situation is very clear, Quirrell will definitely fall into the trap because of the non-existent Philosopher's Stone, and in Lao Deng's script, there must be a battle between himself and Voldemort!
Hermione accompanied her to the end in the original book, and now that she has become a family, she will not allow herself to take risks alone, so it is better to tell her who the real enemy is in advance, so that she can prepare early .
As for not letting Hermione go to other professors, it was because even if they did, it would be useless.
Old Deng will definitely impose restrictions on a few professors, so in the end, it is estimated that only the Church of Sri Lanka will stand up to help.
But in this way, Lao Deng will find out that he is secretly wooing Sijiao, and it will cause unexpected problems.
In short, since the situation cannot be changed, it is better to adapt to the situation, and under the premise of ensuring the safety of Hermione and himself, to maximize the interests and accumulate strength in this duel 'test'!
"Harry... we can get through this, right? Both of us, we'll be fine... right." Hermione, who was still full of worry, rested her head on Harry's shoulder and murmured his name softly .
"Well, yes! We will be fine! Whether it's this time or in the future!!"
Tightly holding the girl's hand, Harry's tone was so determined that he had never felt so far! !
...
Since the last heart-to-heart talk, the lives of Harry and Hermione have returned to normal on the surface, and every day is the classroom-canteen-library-dormitory four points and one line.
But in fact, they have secretly transformed the Room of Response into a practice field, and began to exercise their strength in a targeted manner.
Harry intentionally or unintentionally mentioned to Snape, saying that his scar was too painful and would affect the potion brewing, so Snape really shook his face after saying 'None of my business'...
Started secretly giving Harry a little treat.
In addition to spells such as your weapon, fainting, falling apart, fuchsia, and all kinds of messy potion formulas and ingredients, it doesn't matter whether Harry can master it or not, anyway, they all poured out in one go.
Well, Sijiao's body has always been honest~
Time flies, the spring semester and the Easter holidays passed quickly, and Hogwarts students ushered in the final exam semester, and Harry and Hermione got busy accordingly.
And when they were in the library one afternoon, they ran into Hagrid who was basically impossible to appear here.
"Hagrid, are you coming to the library to borrow books too, and what are you borrowing?"
Harry actually asked curiously, but he didn't expect Hagrid to start hemming strangely.
"No...it's nothing! Hey, it's just a few idle books. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first~"
After speaking, Hagrid ran away in a panic.
"What the hell is he afraid of?" Hermione looked at Hagrid's leaving back puzzledly, "We won't ask him how to pass the three-headed dog's blockade."
"This kind of thing, just ask and you will know~"
Harry smiled mysteriously, and led Hermione into Mrs. Pince's office.
"Ask Hagrid? Well... In principle, I wouldn't disclose it, but this time I made an exception. You can read the records yourself. Hagrid has borrowed several idle books, all of which are related to fire dragons."
The Hogwarts librarian, Mrs. Irma Pince, is definitely a strict and orderly witch.
She was a thin, elderly woman with a bad temper who yelled at her students so much that Hermione often came across her as a malnourished mean vulture.
However, Hermione discovered today that Mrs. Pince had a very friendly attitude towards Harry. Not only did she appear amiable, she even allowed Harry to look through the library's borrowing records at will!
"So that's it, Mrs. Pince, thank you so much!" Harry smiled and handed back the borrowing record, "By the way, you have become more beautiful recently~"
"What are you talking nonsense, you brat! Get out as soon as you finish the investigation, don't delay my work here~"
"okay!"
Hermione: w(?Д?)w
Seeing the harmonious interaction between Harry and Mrs. Pince, Hermione began to doubt life every minute.
"No...what's the situation?" Hermione asked with a dazed face, "Why do you have such a good relationship with Mrs. Pince?"
"Hey, you don't understand this~" Harry laughed and winked at Hermione, "I don't have a good relationship with Mrs. Pince, but my roommate has a good relationship with her, so She is willing to take special care of me."
"Roommate...you mean Mr. Filch?"
The unexpected mouthful of melon almost made Hermione bite her own tongue~
(ps The relationship between Filch and Mrs. Pince... Everyone, go to see the Half-Blood Prince. In addition, the tenth watch will be presented on the second day. Thank you very much for your support. From tomorrow onwards, two daily updates will be resumed. If there is no problem, there will be no less updates , and will not stop updating, everyone, please witness Sanmiao’s character after coming to this site, the above~)
Chapter 78 The Fire Dragon Egg Was Deliberately Pushed to Hagrid
For Hermione, Argus Filch and Irma Pince, these two people who couldn't fight each other, didn't...
Uh, well, they actually have a bit of a common language.
After all, these two people are very thin, they both hate students, and they are both administrators.
So... Could it be that the two of them are having an affair in private?
"Of course I have a leg!" Harry said with a strange look, "Otherwise, who do you think Mr. Filch is showing off to by wearing the new trench coat I gave him every day~"
Many principles of interpersonal communication are actually common in both Eastern and Western societies.
Most of the arguments circulated on the Datianchao's Internet in previous lives, such as 'the West is not a humane society', 'Westerners follow rules, and it is not too convenient for acquaintances to do things', etc., are actually somewhat one-sided.
After actually traveling to England, Harry realized that Western society also needs to manage interpersonal networks, and it also pays attention to 'the more friends you have, the easier it is to travel'.
As for the fact that acquaintances will not be too convenient to do things, this situation is indeed normal, but sometimes it is because you and your so-called acquaintances are not strong enough~
"Hmph... So, you have been in a relationship with Mrs. Pince for a long time, right?" Suddenly, Hermione's tone and face became inexplicably dark.
"That's right~" Harry, who didn't know that he was about to face disaster, was still showing off desperately.
"So... you also knew early on that as long as I told Mrs. Pince that I was looking for clues to Nicole Flamel, she would take the initiative to help me find the book?!"
"Uh, yes... yes~" Harry gradually felt that something was wrong, and cold sweat oozes out of his forehead uncontrollably.
"So you bastard brother didn't tell me?! It made me want to vomit after looking up information in the library!!"
But at this moment, the lion cub had already blown its hair, and it jumped on Harry with all its teeth and claws, screaming and killing~
...
"Raising dragons... What do you think Hagrid is going to borrow those books for?" After playing around for a while, Hermione tidied up her clothes and asked desperately.
