Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 75 Mason Gate

Ever since he learned that Professor Highmore was going to attack Quirrell on the day of the game, Harry has been in a bad mood.Coupled with Snape's terrible attitude towards him, every potions class turned into a kind of torture, in these double - no, there is a third pressure of the upcoming competition, and the failed production of the school song flute No matter how Harry played on the flute, it would produce some indistinct tones, not as good as the previous obscene words.

The day came when the game started.

After lunch at school, Harry and Hermione exchanged glances. They had already discussed the plan for today-Harry played as usual, and at the same time lent Hermione and Ron the Invisibility Cloak so that they could Not so easy to be discovered by Professor Haimer.

"This is the last game."

Ron muttered pitifully, and was dragged away by the ruthless Hermione.

They walked through the laughing students, ran back to the common room quickly, and then took out the invisibility cloak, put it on when no one was prepared, and disappeared in a flash.

Under the invisibility cloak, Hermione's little face was full of solemn expressions, and even Ron became nervous.

"By the way." Ron whispered suddenly: "What should we do if we find out that Professor Highmore really intends to threaten Professor Quirrell today?"

"Do you think the two of us alone can stop Professor Highmore?" Hermione asked rhetorically.

Ron shook his head again and again: "Of course not."

"Then I can only hope that Professor Quirrell will persist for a longer time." Hermione said worriedly.

She also couldn't think of how to stop Professor Haimo. It was the best choice to report to other professors, but in this case, Professor Haimo might be fired.

Neither she, Ron, nor Harry wanted Professor Highmore to leave school so early.

It's really strange to say that, unknowingly, they accepted the stern Professor Haimer, even though they knew he had some bad intentions, they were unwilling to report him.

Hermione thought of her speculation about Professor Highmore's violating school rules—would Principal Dumbledore have the same mentality when facing this student?

Hermione rushed to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office with complicated thoughts. She didn't dare to stare at Professor Highmore, so she had to find Quirrell.

But just when Hermione and Ron stood still, they saw the door of the office being pushed open, and then Professor Highmore rushed out, and he was still supporting Professor Quirrell—at this time Quirrell's face was so pale that it was almost transparent. If his eyelids hadn't jumped a few times, the two of them would have thought he was dead.

How could Professor Haimo be so ruthless? !

Hermione and Ron were already scared to death. They hid under the invisibility cloak and didn't dare to move. They watched Professor Haimer walk down the stairs with the dying Quirrell. They should go to the school hospital. .

Professor Highmore probably didn't have the guts to kill a professor in the school.

After both of them disappeared, Ron said in horror: "What should we do? Professor Haimo must have succeeded in asking the secrets of the organ guarded by Quirrell. Why don't we just leave it alone, unless you also want to live in the campus Hospital."

Hermione hadn't recovered yet.They seemed to be late and failed to stop Professor Haimer's behavior. The key was that Quirrell was not seriously injured.

After a while, Hermione made up her mind and said, "No, we have to go to the school hospital again, just in case."

She couldn't even make excuses for Professor Highmore now.

The two quietly came to the door of the school hospital. They just saw Ms. Pomfrey leave the ward, and after she had gone far, they approached slowly, and put their ears on the door of the ward.

"No—no—I can't—"

It was Quirrell's voice, and it sounded like he hadn't agreed to Professor Highmore's coercion.

But in the next second, the hearts of Hermione and Ron became icy cold.

"Okay—okay—" They heard Quirrell sobbing, and at the same time they heard footsteps.

Hermione hurriedly dragged Ron to run outside, and they didn't want to meet Professor Highmore at this time anyway.

It wasn't until after leaving the corridor that Hermione stood on the steps and panted and said, "Oops, Quirrell still can't bear the threat of Professor Highmore—we have to go to Hagrid and ask him which other professors They are guarding the Philosopher's Stone, and I hope they can last longer."

At the same time, Professor Highmore, as Hermione said, was staying with Al in the Office of Ancient Magic.

"What a pity."

Tony regretted: "Quirrell didn't understand what kind of opportunity he lost. I didn't expect him to get sick at this time. It is estimated that the curse left by the vampire on him has taken effect. I hope he can survive it."

Haimer went to the ancient magic office after lunch, but he didn't expect that Quirrell would suddenly become so ill, so scared that he thought Quirrell was dead.

So he had no choice but to give up his plan to solve Quirrell's curse today.

This happens to be related to the reason why he rushed back to the office after sending Chirrell to the school hospital, because today is a special day-the Mason goalkeeper matures on this day.

Today's Mason Gate is no longer decayed. Not only has it become complete again, but it has even become lush and lush, like a revived tree with blooming branches and leaves, or some special magical plant.

In fact, mason gates are indeed a plant, one that looks like a door and acts even more like a door.Its origin is also related to Toby's archaeological experience, it is an extremely rare existence, and now only this one is left.

The door even gave Toby an idea - legend has it that the Fairy of the Lake framed the wizard Merlin and imprisoned him in an oak tree.

This is just one of the sayings. There are many similar legends. Toby didn't take it seriously at first. It wasn't until the bizarre experience that happened after he passed through the first door that Toby felt that Mage Merlin might really be alive. .

It's just that it's not in the real world, but a world similar to the one behind the door.

That's why Toby named this door the Mason Gate—meaning the forest where Merlin was imprisoned.

In addition, the reason why Toby set the day to solve the vampire curse today is also related to the Mason Gate.He originally planned to invite Quirrell to take a look behind the door, maybe he could find some clues, but unfortunately, the weak Quirrell can't do this anyway, and if he is not careful, he may even destroy Mason The door, trapping both of them behind the door, they will never be able to get out.

Toby handed the magic ball to Al, and Al put it in his belly pocket.

He pushed the wooden door open, and there was a burst of dazzling brilliant light behind the door.

"Remember to keep an eye on the door, Al. Otherwise, no one will accompany you in archaeology in the future."

"ah!"

Then, Toby took a step towards the door and was swallowed by the brilliant light.
