Chapter 144 Another Sorcerer's Stone
As soon as Sean came out of the principal's office, he was blocked in the corridor by Harry and Ron.
Harry said, "You know what's hidden in the corner room on the third floor, right?"
"No, I don't know." Sean denied it so strongly that it looked even more suspicious.
"On the first night of the Christmas holiday, I saw you sneaking into that house after curfew, as if you were looking for something inside?" Harry said with reason.
The test on Harry was still going on, and Dumbledore had already forgotten what happened in the elf village. If he still remembered that Sean pulled out the holy sword of the elves, he should not pay so much attention to Harry after he came back.
When he was in the Elf Village, Dumbledore's thoughts changed. Perhaps Sean who pulled out the holy sword was the real savior, but now he has completely forgotten, and everything is still going according to his previous arrangement.
Sean looked embarrassed, and mysteriously led the two of Harry to the corner of the stairs, and said in a low voice.
"I guess you used the invisibility cloak that night."
Harry nodded. Sean had fooled Harry with the matter of the invisibility cloak before, and Harry wasn't surprised when Sean mentioned it.
"As far as I guess, the guard level set up in that room last year was used to guard against Professor Quirrell."
"You mean that Professor Quirrell wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone?" Harry and Ron glanced at each other, they suspected that Snape was wrong.
"That's right, he was sent by the mysterious man to steal the Philosopher's Stone." Sean said sternly.
"Since you know he's here to steal the Sorcerer's Stone, why don't you expose him?" Ron wondered.
Sean pretended to be mysterious and said, "There are too many involved here, you don't understand, and it's not good for you if you know, anyway, Professor Dumbledore revoked the ban only after Quirrell was gone."
Harry immediately asked, "Is the Philosopher's Stone still there?"
"Shh, although the ban has been revoked, I guess the Sorcerer's Stone is still in that room, so curiosity drove me to sneak in in the middle of the night." Sean's words were true and false, luring Harry into his trap.
"Where is Draco? He also sneaked into that room. I suspect he also wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone." Harry said.
Ron echoed, "Draco's father is a Death Eater, maybe he was instructed by his father to steal the Philosopher's Stone."
"You can't talk nonsense. You are all students of the same year. You can compete, but you can't slander behind your back." Xiao En pretended not to believe it, and educated the two of them.
Sean knew Harry's character, the more he didn't believe him, the more excited he was, and Harry would definitely keep an eye on Draco afterwards.
The Philosopher's Stone was gone, so this pretense was used to practice for Harry, but the loss of the golden scepter made Sean a little worried.
The scepter was hidden somewhere in Hogwarts by Quirrell and Voldemort, and they must find a way to take it away later. There are countless places where the scepter can be hidden in such a big school.
"We still have to find Adam first." Sean thought to himself.
In Knockturn Alley, in the pharmacy, Hai Erbo was making a sharp voice and laughing strangely, "How can such a good thing as the Philosopher's Stone be made of only one piece?"
Haierbo found a trace of clues in the deleted memories of Nicolas. In addition to the destroyed Philosopher's Stone, Nicolas also made another Philosopher's Stone.
Although there is only one clue, but the finger points to Nicolas May's student Hof Stark, and Haierpo guesses that the other Philosopher's Stone is on Hof.
Voldemort, the mouse at the side, calculated in his mind that Haierbo's magic to bring the dead back to life was comparable to the Horcrux.
The difficulty here is not letting the soul enter a new body, but how to recall the soul of the dead.
At that time in the ruins of the castle, Voldemort saw the bloody and bloody Nicolas with his own eyes. It was really cold. Haier took out a crystal ball and continued to cast spells on it for a minute. The dim crystal ball suddenly lit up. , that is the soul of Nicolas May who has just passed away.
"I didn't get the method of making the Philosopher's Stone, but I still have a Philosopher's Stone. If I can get it, I won't have to humiliately possess a mouse." Voldemort thought secretly.
But Hai Erbo is a huge obstacle, and Voldemort must find Hough and get the Philosopher's Stone before him.
At this time, Hof also came to England, and Nicole May told him that if he wanted to ask for help, Dumbledore was the best choice.
After escaping from France, Hof finally arrived in Scotland by Muggle transport and magic, and now he is flying towards Hogwarts on a broomstick.
Four days later, the Christmas holiday finally came to an end, and the students arrived at the Overseas Cross Station one after another, preparing to take the Hogwarts Express back to school.
9? Near the platform, a dingy mouse hid under the wall pillar. It looked at the passing pedestrians, looking for a suitable target.
Voldemort needs to enter the platform to board the train to Hogwarts, and how to enter the platform depends on the returning students.
Cassius pushed the trolley to platform 9. There were two suitcases, one large, one small, and three suitcases on the trolley. There was room to hide underneath, but Cassius kept looking at the luggage, and Voldemort had no chance to get into his trolley.
"Graham, here it is." Cassius stopped in front of the platform and waved to his roommate Graham who had just entered the station.
Seeing this opportunity, Voldemort quickly climbed onto the cart, and Cassius led Voldemort into the platform.
After entering the platform, Voldemort immediately jumped off the luggage trolley, and while the students got on the train, he also managed to sneak into the train.
Before the train arrived at Hogwarts, Hof had already arrived at the school, and he flew into the airspace of Hogwarts on a broomstick. Dumbledore saw the red dot on the crystal ball on the table light up again, so he went to Looking at the sky from the window.
Professor McGonagall happened to be outside. Seeing that it was Hoff, she waved to him. Nicolas May is dead, what will happen to his students coming to Hogwarts at this time.
"Is Dumbledore here?" These were Hoff's first words after he landed.
"Yes, come with me." Professor McGonagall led Hough towards the principal's office.
After Hof arrived at the principal's office, he said that he had something important to tell Dumbledore. It was inconvenient for others to listen, so Professor McGonagall had to leave first.
No one knew about the secret conversation in the principal's room. After the two ended, Dumbledore called Hagrid over, and he arranged for Hough to live in Hagrid.
Mick just left last semester, and someone came to live with him again, and used his house as a hotel. Fortunately, Hagrid was hospitable and didn't mind. If it were someone else, he would probably be emotional.
In the evening, the train back to school stopped at Hogsmeade Station, and the students returned to the school in thestral carriages. When queuing up at the main entrance to enter the school, Voldemort slipped in under the noses of everyone.
There was no abnormality in the crystal ball on the desk in the principal's office, apparently it mistook Voldemort for an ordinary mouse.
