The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 199 Anxious Harry Potter
From the distant European inland Austria to Hogwarts in the Scottish Highlands, even with two people on board, Phoenix Fox did not take much time.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 with Phoenix.

Dumbledore did not take Ada directly back to Hogwarts, but took Ada to appear in the deserted screaming hut. After Ada left, the Weasley twins never came to the hut Room.

Seeing the familiar arrangement in the Screaming Shack, Ada really felt at home.Although the shed does not belong to her, everything here is closely related to her and carries a lot of happiness for her.

Phoenix Fawkes cleaned his feathers on the bookshelf on the side, while Dumbledore sat directly on the rocking chair in front of the window. This was originally Ada's exclusive seat, but was forcibly occupied by the headmaster.

Ada, who "lost" the 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 with his eyes closed and meditated, and said, "Showing up here instead of going back to school directly, you may wish to speak up if you have any ideas."

In the past, Ada would not ask such a question, she would wait for Dumbledore to speak first.

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

"You are really well-planned!" Ada said, "Aren't you afraid that he will see through your tricks and choose to stay still?"

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

Unicorn, a holy magical animal, the hair of the unicorn can be used to make a magic wand, and its unicorn can detoxify. It is said that drinking from a wine glass made of its horn can make people healthy and will not be infected by disease find the door.

Although the unicorn is full of treasures, it is not easy to hurt it.A unicorn is only attracted to a pure and kind-hearted virgin, and will fall asleep on the skirt of the girl, and then its fur or its horn will be plucked off.

Whether it is hair or unicorn, no one wants to harm the life of a unicorn and obtain its blood.Unicorn blood lasts life, but when you get its blood on your lips, you are cursed for the rest of your life.

No one wants to have a half-dead, cursed life, and no one who has nowhere else to go makes that choice.

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

Dumbledore didn't want to drag on the Philosopher's Stone anymore. If Quirrell left the school, it would be very difficult to find him again.You can't always keep on guard like this, forcing him to show up and solve this matter, which is why Dumbledore is hiding in the Screaming Shack.

"Aren't you afraid that something unexpected will happen after Harry follows?" Ada asked again, "Or do you have absolute confidence in your plan?"

Dumbledore looked into Ada's eyes and said, "Haven't I suffered a loss of self-confidence on your body? Harry will be fine, 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 wouldn't be me?" Ada was 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 be at school at this hour, will you?"

Dumbledore did not respond to Ada's yin and yang, but asked, "Is there nothing to eat here? Or is it in your handbag?"

"No, they are all in Nurmengard."

"Then go to the village and buy some!" Dumbledore said, "You won't have the heart to watch me, a centenarian, go hungry?"

Ada walked up to Dumbledore, stretched out her hand to him, and signaled Dumbledore to take out the money.Dumbledore looked at Ada with his blue eyes open, not intending to pay at all.

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

Dumbledore just looked at Ada like this, but Ada was unmoved. She stretched out her hand asking for money confidently, so Dumbledore had to put a small purse in her hand.

Ada socially weighed the purse in her hand. After hearing the sound of metal coins colliding, Ada put on her hood and left the Shrieking Shack.Dumbledore closed his eyes and lay down on the rocking chair again. He was very satisfied now. It seemed that he made the right move in sending Ada to Nurmengard.

It's just that when Dumbledore knew that Grindelwald had reversed Ida's view of black magic, he wondered if he would still smile so contentedly.

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

Today's weather was a bit muggy, Harry sat uneasy in the classroom, he didn't listen to a single word of what the professor was saying on the podium.It was as if a small animal was roaring in Harry's heart, disturbing his mind, and the dull painful scar on his forehead made him unable to calm down even more.

The stabbing pain in his forehead had been haunting him since he had witnessed Voldemort sucking on the unicorn's blood, keeping him from sleeping through the night.Harry took it as a warning to him that Snape was about to take action.

A few days before the infighting incident, Ada had kindly reminded Ron about the dragon eggs, so Harry and Hermione went to Hagrid to find out.

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

Fortunately, Dumbledore has always been at school. Although he left for a short time, he will be back soon, but today Dumbledore left again and didn't come back until lunch time, which made Harry feel even more uneasy.

Dumbledore wasn't at school, no one could stop Snape anymore!

Although Harry Potter pinned all the blame on Snape and turned a blind eye to Snape's covert protection, he still had good eyesight, at least he could see that Snape's strength was among the best in the school.

After finally making it to dinner, Dumbledore's seat in the teacher's seat in the auditorium was still vacant, and the principal did not come back.Harry stared blankly at the empty chair, and his mind was filled with the image of Snape holding the Philosopher's Stone and offering it to Voldemort.

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

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

"Why?" Professor McGonagall asked suspiciously.

"Because..." Hermione, who was very brave just now, didn't continue, but the anxious Harry continued for her: "Because Sne... someone wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone, and only Professor Dumbledore can stop him !"

Professor McGonagall's book fell to the floor with a clatter, and she said: "Dumbledore has gone to London and won't be back until tomorrow. I don't know who you got the Philosopher's Stone from, but don't worry, no one can steal it." Come on, it's well guarded and safe."

I have to say that Professor McGonagall's acting skills can't even be compared with Snape, the movie king and pot king, she can't even compare with Quirrell.That is to say, the trio in front of them are still young when they debuted, or they would have discovered Professor McGonagall's embarrassing performance a long time ago.

This acting skill is comparable to Sha Wujing's throwing a bowl.

After leaving the office, Harry said, "Just tonight, Snape will go through the trapdoor 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 a little helplessly, "Professor McGonagall doesn't believe us."

The three of them were just first-year students, they couldn't stand up to a professor, they couldn't stop Snape from stealing the Philosopher's Stone.

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

They are not Snape's opponents, so they must be able to 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 do something to her classmates. Do you want to be expelled too?"

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

Ron's maintenance was very touching, but unfortunately, this concern came at an untimely time. The two people in front of him are not as close as he and Ada, and their focus is also on the Philosopher's Stone.

"Fred and George are 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 what happened to Ada, but she couldn't do anything, and the most important thing was to stop Harry right now, she couldn't watch her good friend become like Ida.

Hermione's reason was good, but Harry's reason was even stronger and more unassailable.Harry began to present facts and reason, and both Ron and Hermione were convinced by his words.

The three decided to protect the Philosopher's Stone together. Even if they were fired, they would be together, and no one would be left here alone.

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

Sighing, Professor McGonagall bent down and picked up the books scattered on the floor, and she would welcome the next wave of visitors after a while.If nothing else, the Weasley twins were already on their way to find her.
