Chapter 441 In Action
“What’s wrong with Ron?”
Harry hurriedly walked into the hall and saw Ron next to Hermione who looked lonely. He asked Hermione curiously what happened and why Ron looked so shocked.
“He, he just participated in the wizard card competition and was eliminated.”
Hermione suppressed her laughter and simply told Harry about Ron's participation in the Wizarding Card Qualifying Tournament, but was easily defeated by his opponent in just two seconds.
Ron's wizard card level is really bad. He was beaten to a pulp by his opponents and now he is completely autistic.
“Shut up, thank you.”
Ron glared at Hermione angrily. Being defeated so easily for three consecutive times really had a big impact on his confidence.
"You can count the number of times you've played wizard cards on both hands. Why do you think you can beat that group of students who often play wizard cards?" Ron's idea made Hermione feel funny, it was simply whimsical.
"Wizard Cards and Wizard Chess are both games that use your brain..." Ron wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Harry.
“Okay, I have something to tell you.”
Harry led the two of them out of the noisy hall and came to a deserted corridor. He stopped and told Hermione and Ron what he had accidentally bumped into just now.
Hearing from Harry that Snape forced Quirrell to reveal the way to protect the Philosopher's Stone in the classroom, both Hermione and Ron looked uneasy.
"you sure?"
"Did Professor Quirrell really compromise?" Hermione asked in a low voice.
"It seems not yet, but I don't know how long Professor Quirrell can hold on." Harry's face was full of worry, "Maybe we should do something to prevent this from happening."
"But... we can't do anything." Hermione's brows frowned deeper, as if she was thinking about how to deal with this matter. She said to Harry: "Maybe, we should go and have a good chat with Hagrid."
“Hagrid doesn’t believe us,” Ron reminded.
The three of them were silent immediately.
yes!
Hagrid did not believe that Snape would steal the things Dumbledore had hidden. He did not believe what they said at all, thinking that it was the three people's prejudice against Snape.
Even if Harry, Hermione and Ron wanted to be the first to get the Philosopher's Stone before Snape, they would not be able to get past Hagrid's three-headed dog, and they would only end up with their legs bitten off if they tried to break through. end.
"How about we write a letter to the principal. Even if Principal Dumbledore doesn't want to believe it, he should be wary." Hermione suggested.
She knew very well that it was almost impossible for the three of them to stop Snape from stealing the Philosopher's Stone. In the end, it was more appropriate for Principal Dumbledore to step forward in this matter.
"Who will write the letter?" Harry agreed. He didn't know whether Principal Dumbledore would be willing to believe the content of their letter, but it was better to write than to do nothing.
“I don’t think the principal will believe you.”
A cold voice suddenly sounded behind them. The three of them were startled by the voice. When they turned their heads, they were faced with Snape's gloomy and ugly face.
“Potter, the ideas in your mind amaze me beyond measure.”
The corners of Snape's lips were slightly raised as if he was mocking the three of them. "Maybe you should try it. Slandering a professor is enough for me to deduct a hundred points from each of you."
"Sir, I think you are mistaken." Harry replied dryly: "We have never meant to slander any professor, and we will not do that."
"That's best." Snape stared at Harry for a long time, and then said before turning away, "Don't let me seize the opportunity."
“Harry, what should we do now?” Faced with Snape’s threat, Ron was very angry and disturbed.
Harry really wanted to write a letter to Dumbledore, but he was beginning to hesitate now. If Gryffindor was really deducted a large amount of points, they would not be able to defeat Slytherin House again. He also knew that many students in the school wanted Gryffindor to beat Slytherin again, and he couldn't ruin it.
At this moment, all three of them were confused.
In the end, Harry decided to write a letter to Dumbledore. The letter did not mention Snape, but said that someone in the school was eyeing the Philosopher's Stone, and was also asking around for the mechanism to protect the Philosopher's Stone.
Harry told Dumbledore everything he knew. Although it was just their guess, Harry believed that he mentioned the pile of things in the letter, and the principal would be slightly more vigilant anyway.
The letter was written by Hermione because her handwriting was the most beautiful among the three.
Halfway to the Owlhouse, they met Professor Quirrell. The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor seemed to be ill, with almost no color on his face.
Harry, Ron and Hermione all gave Professor Quirrell an encouraging smile, but they didn't know that their smiles made Quirrell a little confused.
Quirrell's physical condition was indeed very bad. He was already terminally ill and was about to die.
Since the last time Quirrell tried to create the Philosopher's Stone, it failed miserably.
Voldemort was extremely angry at Quirrell's stupidity and punished him severely.
Now Voldemort has gradually become stronger by absorbing Quirrell's life, but the price is that Quirrell himself will not live long.
He is really dying.
If he can't get the magic stone in the next time and use the magic stone to survive, Quirrell will really be dead.
Although the situation was very bad, Quirrell did not despair. He had found a way to pass the big dog. No, it should be said that he had found a way to deal with Hagrid.
This is really thanks to Albert. Yesterday, when discussing with the other party how a wizard could face a fire dragon alone, Albert accidentally mentioned that Hagrid has always been eager to raise a dragon.
Since Hagrid is eager to raise a dragon, he can definitely find a way to give Hagrid a dragon egg, and then use some methods to make the other party drunk. With a little innuendo, he will definitely be able to find out how to deal with the three-headed dog.
Of course, he needs to be very careful not to let Hagrid know his identity.
Well, it's easy.
“But what is this, the reward for racking your brains every day to answer that annoying brat’s question?” Quirrell couldn’t help but laugh at himself in his heart.
He had just written a letter to a smuggler and planned to spend a lot of money to buy a dragon egg from the smuggler.
As long as you can get the Magic Stone, you will not be short of Galleons at all, and if you die, there will be no use in keeping Galleons, so Quirrell is very generous. The two parties have reached an agreement, and they only need to wait patiently for a while, at most one Months later, the smuggler would help him get a dragon egg from abroad.
