Chapter 199 Anxious Harry Potter

Even if it carried two people, it didn't take much time for the Phoenix Fox to travel from Austria, the far interior of Europe, to Hogwarts in the Scottish Highlands. Compared with the portkey when she went to Austria, Ada still felt that Phoenix's way of traveling was more comfortable, at least she didn't get dizzy from Phoenix.

Dumbledore did not take Ada directly back to Hogwarts, but took Ada to the empty Shrieking Shack. After Ada left, the Weasley twins never came to the Shack again. Room.

Looking at the familiar layout in the Screaming Shack, Ada truly felt like she was home. Although the shack does not belong to her, everything here is closely related to her and carries a lot of happiness for her.

Phoenix Fawkes landed on the bookshelf nearby and cleaned his feathers, while Dumbledore sat directly on the rocking chair in front of the window. This was Ada's exclusive seat, but it was forcibly occupied by the principal.

Ada, who had "lost" her rocking chair, could only sit on the sofa aggrievedly. Fortunately, the sofa was comfortable enough and gave her a lot of comfort. Ada looked at Dumbledore, who was closing his eyes and concentrating, and said, "Show me here instead of going back to school directly. If you have any ideas, you may as well tell me."

In the past, Ada would not have asked this question. She would have waited for Dumbledore to speak first.

"No one knew that I left school to pick you up at Nurmengard. They thought I was going to the Ministry of Magic for a meeting." Dumbledore said while rocking the rocking chair. "Albus Dumbledore is not at school. What a great opportunity!”

"You really have a well-planned plan!" Ada said, "Aren't you afraid that he will see through your trick and choose to stand still?"

"The Philosopher's Stone is not a life-saving straw for me. I can't afford to delay." Dumbledore explained, "But he can't afford to delay. Recently, several unicorns were killed in the Forbidden Forest and their blood was sucked. Now, you should know what this means."

The unicorn is a holy magical animal. The hair of the unicorn can be used to make magic wands. Its horn can detoxify. It is said that drinking from a wine glass made of its horn can make people healthy and protect them from diseases. Come to the door.

Although the unicorn is full of treasures, it is not easy to hurt it. Unicorns are only attracted to virgins who are pure and kind-hearted. They will fall asleep on the girl's skirt and then have their fur or horn removed.

No matter whether it is fur or unicorn, no one is willing to harm the life of the unicorn and obtain its blood. Unicorn blood can prolong life, but when you put its blood on your lips, you're cursed for the rest of your life.

No one wants to live a half-dead, cursed life, and no one in desperation would make that choice.

But Quirrell did this under the pressure of his master. It was imminent to seize the Philosopher's Stone. Even if he knew it was Dumbledore's trap, Quirrell would jump in without hesitation.

Dumbledore didn't want to drag out the matter of the Philosopher's Stone any longer. If Quirrell left the school, it would be very difficult to find him out. We can't always be on guard like this and force him to show up and solve the problem. This is why Dumbledore is hiding in the Shrieking Shack.

"Aren't you afraid that something unexpected might happen if Harry follows up?" Ada asked again, "Or are you absolutely confident in your plan?"

Dumbledore looked into Ada's eyes and said: "Haven't I already suffered a loss of self-confidence in you? Nothing will happen to Harry, because he has the power to protect him. And I am also prepared to Another set of plans to ensure the implementation of the plan.”

"The other plan you prepared is not me, right?" Ada is very self-aware, "That's why you ended my exile at this time and let me come back, because everyone agreed that I was fired, and I You won’t show up at school at this time, right?”

Dumbledore did not respond to Ada's weirdness, but asked: "Don't you have anything to eat here? Or is it in your handbag?"

"No, they all stayed in Nurmengard."

"Then go to the village and buy some!" Dumbledore said. "You can't bear to watch me, a centenarian, starve, can you?"

Ada walked up to Dumbledore, stretched out her hand to him, and motioned for Dumbledore to pay. Dumbledore looked at Ada with his blue eyes open, with no intention of paying.

"Take the money! If you don't have money, you'll be hungry!"

Dumbledore just looked at Ada, but Ada was unmoved. She stretched out her hand to ask for money, so Dumbledore had no choice but to put a small purse in her hand.

Ada weighed the money bag in her hand politely. After hearing the sound of metal coins colliding, Ada put on her hood and left the Screaming Shack. Dumbledore closed his eyes and lay back on the rocking chair. He was now very satisfied. It seemed that he had made the right move in sending Ada to Nurmengard.

However, when Dumbledore knew that Grindelwald had changed Ada's view on dark magic, I wonder if he would still smile so contentedly.

Putting aside Dumbledore and Ada, we refocus our attention on Harry Potter, because he is now as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

The weather today was a bit sultry, and Harry sat uneasily in the classroom. He didn't listen to a word of what the professor on the podium was saying. It was as if there was a little beast roaring in Harry's heart, which made him upset, and the dull and painful scar on his forehead made him unable to calm down.

Ever since he witnessed Voldemort sucking the blood of a unicorn, the stinging pain on his forehead had been bothering him, making him sleepless all night. Harry felt that this was a warning to him that Snape was about to take action.

A few days before the civil strife, Ada had kindly reminded Ron about the dragon eggs, so Harry and Hermione went to Hagrid to ask.

The stranger who lost to the dragon egg had learned from Hagrid how to deal with the three-headed dog, which meant that Snape could safely pass the three-headed dog and the Philosopher's Stone was no longer safe.

Fortunately, Dumbledore was always at school. Although he left briefly, he would come back soon. But today, Dumbledore left again and did not come back until lunch, which made Harry feel even more uneasy.

Dumbledore is not in school, and no one can stop Snape!

Although Harry Potter put all the blame on Snape and turned a blind eye to Snape's hidden protection, he still had the foresight. At least he could see that Snape's strength was one of the best in the school.

I finally made it through dinner, but Dumbledore's seat at the teachers' table in the auditorium was still empty, and the principal had not returned. Harry stared blankly at the empty chair, his mind filled with images of Snape holding the Sorcerer's Stone and presenting it to Voldemort.

After dinner, Harry, Ron, and Hermione went to Professor McGonagall's office.

Hermione said directly: "Professor, when will Professor Dumbledore come back? We want to see him!"

"Why?" Professor McGonagall asked doubtfully.

"Because..." Hermione, who had been very brave just now, did not continue, but the anxious Harry continued for her: "Because Snake... someone wants to steal the Sorcerer's Stone, and only Professor Dumbledore can stop him. !”

Professor McGonagall's book fell to the floor with a clatter, and she said: "Dumbledore went to London and will not come back until tomorrow. I don't know who you know about the Sorcerer's Stone from, but don't worry, no one can steal it." Go, it's well protected and foolproof."

I have to say that Professor McGonagall's acting skills are not even comparable to those of the best actor, Snape, even Quirrell. That is to say, the trio in front of them are still very green when they just debuted. Otherwise, they would have discovered Professor McGonagall's embarrassing performance long ago.

This acting skill is comparable to that of Sha Wujing throwing bowls.

After leaving the office, Harry said: "Tonight, Snape will go through the trap door tonight. Dumbledore is not at school, and no one can stop him from stealing the Philosopher's Stone."

"But what can we do?" Hermione said slightly helplessly, "Professor McGonagall doesn't believe us."

The three of them were only first-year students. They were unable to fight against a professor. They had no way to stop Snape from stealing the Philosopher's Stone.

"What if I get the Sorcerer's Stone first?" Harry made a decision, a decision that sounded absurd.

If they are not Snape's opponents, can they definitely pass the protection of the Philosopher's Stone?

Yes, they can, because these protections are really perfunctory...

"Are you crazy? You can't do this!" Hermione said, "Think about Ada. She was expelled just because she wanted to attack her classmates. Do you want to be expelled too?"

"Ada won't be fired!" Ron said suddenly.

Ron's protection was very touching, but it was a pity that this concern came at the wrong time. The two people in front of them were not as close as him and Ada, and their focus was also on the Philosopher's Stone.

"Fred and George have gone crazy. They block Professor McGonagall's door every day. Do you want us to be like that too!" Hermione continued.

Hermione felt very sorry for Ada, but she couldn't do anything, and stopping Harry was the most important thing at the moment. She couldn't watch her good friend become like Ada.

Hermione's reasons were good, but Harry's reasons were even better and more impeccable. Harry began to present facts and reason, and both Ron and Hermione were convinced by his words.

The three of them decided to protect the Magic Stone together. Even if they were expelled, the three of them would be together, and no one would be left here alone.

In the office, Professor McGonagall, who had sent Harry and the others away, rubbed her head and sat in her chair. She felt that these three people were more difficult to deal with than Ada. As long as she spoke more harshly, Ada would immediately calm down. .

With a sigh, Professor McGonagall bent down and picked up the books scattered on the floor. She would wait for the next wave of visitors. If nothing else, the Weasley twins were already on their way to find her.
