Natural Magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 44 What Dumbledore Wants

"Oh, Snape is his dean!" Ron couldn't help but said: "It was him who cast a spell on Harry during the Quidditch match that day, and that broom almost killed you. Don't do it to Snape." Nep snitched!”

Ron warned Bree, and Bree rubbed his brows and said, "Don't worry, Snape took my wand away, and I'm still angry with him. Hearing what you said, I'm even angrier."

"But." Brie covered the faint blush in her eyes with her hands: "What's going on with Professor Quirrell? I obviously saw that he wanted to enter the restricted area on the fourth floor."

Hermione was also thinking.

"Maybe he discovered Snape's plan. After all, the Sorcerer's Stone is...is..."

Oh, it seems that Harry and others haven't discovered the relationship between the Philosopher's Stone and Nico Flamel, as well as the role of the Philosopher's Stone.

Bree wasn't going to tell them, he needed to watch and look to his advantage.

"I think we should find out the secret of the Philosopher's Stone first, but I have to go upstairs now because I have to talk to Principal Dumbledore about the broomstick."

Bree looked at Harry's face. The green pupils under his glasses were very deep, and he looked a little reserved. Who wanted Bree to stare at him.

"Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you. You are also a victim. I can also promise not to say what you said to me today until this matter is over."

After saying that, Bree waved to Hermione, left the corner, and walked up the stairs.

Ron frowned and said, "He won't go to Dumbledore to complain now, will he?"

Harry recovered.

"I think it would be more useful for him to go to Snape, after all Snape hates me enough to want to kill me."

Hermione looked at Bree leaving with confusion in her eyes. He felt that Bree was hiding something from her.

"Finding out the secret of the Philosopher's Stone will reveal the truth."

Hermione said confidently that she would not ask Bree because she believed she could solve the puzzle. This was like an after-school competition.

Bree came to the door of the principal's office and said to the stone statue at the door: "Can you inform Principal Dumbledore?"

Soon the door opened.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Principal."

Dumbledore sat behind the headmaster's desk, looking at a candy flyer.

"Oh, it's not a big deal." Dumbledore didn't put down the list and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Ode?"

"Chirp!" Fox, the phoenix on the side, chirped on the wooden frame, seeming to want to get close to Bree.

"Look, it likes you."

Dumbledore caught a glimpse of the cheerful Phoenix and looked at Bree inquiringly.

Breedow: "It's about the broomstick... I think I know the murderer."

The broomstick that day had attracted the attention of the little wizards, especially the professors who also discovered traces of black magic attached to it. This made Professor McGonagall very angry, but she was always busy and could only leave the matter to Si Nap, it's a pity that Snape has disappeared from here.

"Oh, Snape told me about this. I'm sorry that you were hurt at Hogwarts. You can rest assured that we will take care of it."

"Then tell me about your murderer?"

Dumbledore put down the list in his hand, his blue eyes flashed behind his half-moon glasses, and he was a little surprised by what Bree said.

"Snape?" Dumbledore stared at Bree strangely.

"I think you should have confidence in the school's professors. Although Snape is a bit strict, who makes him an excellent potion master? Pursuing potions will always make him lose something, such as being poor at expressing himself. "

Dumbledore seemed to be reminiscing, and when he secretly saw Bree's eyes becoming less firm, he laughed and said: "We will investigate this matter in detail. Before that, you can stay away from the murderer you think. I hope Your dean won’t be upset.”

Seeing that Bree did not refute, Dumbledore continued slowly: "You are very good and very vigilant... I will let other professors assist Snape."

Dumbledore blinked at Bree.

"I'm also monitoring him, do you think that's okay?"

Bree smiled inwardly, but his face showed nervousness. He had already verified the answer.

"Of course, but I just want to make sure of one thing now."

"You will watch what happens next, right? I don't want to go to the campus hospital again."

Dumbledore sat upright in his chair and gave Bree a positive reply: "I will watch. There will be other professors watching when I am not around. It is our duty to protect the little wizard. You can trust Hogwarts."

……

Bu Li showed no expression after leaving the principal's office, and didn't let out a breath until he returned to the corner building.

"I'm sure, Dumbledore won't take action... He is obviously the headmaster and the strongest white wizard in the world. Why is he letting that Quirrell go? What does he want to get?"

Brie firmly believes that no one would want to do something that doesn't make sense.

"The secrets are hidden in the restricted area on the fourth floor. The magic stone is the bait, and Quirrell is... the chess piece?"

"Dumbledore wants to lure out the master behind Quirrell!"

Yes, Bree understands, but he cannot forgive Dumbledore. This is putting Hogwarts in a dangerous situation. Is he sure to ensure everyone's safety? No!
Bree nearly died herself.

"The greatest white wizard... how white is he? Or should we say that his vision has reached another level? He cares about the overall situation and does not stick to trivial matters. Sacrifice is inevitable?"

But is this kind of behavior suitable for Hogwarts? The answer is no. Hogwarts's duty is to teach and educate people, and it cannot be changed even if it was built into a fortress thousands of years ago.

"I appreciate people who have an overall view, but I cannot tolerate being the sacrificed piece on the chessboard."

Bree has never been so angry. He hates having his destiny controlled by others. Being able to take advantage of the contract and control Quirrell even if he is injured is a manifestation of it. Life is precious and freedom is priceless. Temporary forbearance is okay, but it must not be resigned.

It was up to Bree to decide the restricted area. Since Quirrell is also a chess piece, let this chess piece stay in the restricted area forever. As for the master behind Quirrell, that is what Dumbledore has to deal with, and it has nothing to do with Bree.

After this incident was over, Brico didn't want to come into contact with Dumbledore at all. This man was terrible. Who knew whether he would be sold and still be grateful!
Self-righteous Dumbledore, huh!
But what about the savior?

As long as he thought about it carefully, Bree could discover Dumbledore's preference for Harry. If he guessed correctly, the exception to the Quidditch selection rules was because of him. Otherwise, if there were no outstanding students in any field, why would he be in this one? An exception was made after the arrival of the savior.

At that time, when Dumbledore said that first-year students could participate in Quidditch, Professor McGonagall, who was in charge, was overjoyed. It seemed that Dumbledore was taking the lead in this matter. When did Dumbledore become so active?

"The Boy-Who-Lived defeated the Dark Lord... when a one-year-old child defeated You-Know-Who?"

Thinking of the faint lightning-shaped scar on Harry's head when he saw him, Bree seemed to realize something.

"So Quirrell's master is a mysterious man?"

"The mysterious man is not dead yet!"

Brie held his head with his hands, his head hurt. Recent events were too complicated. He felt like he had fallen into a big net. There were obviously many breakthrough points, but he could not move. All the opportunities had not come yet.

The speculation that the mysterious man was not dead made Bree feel incredible and natural. How could a famous person die so easily and strangely? The mysterious man was not mentally retarded.

"Dumbledore asked Hagrid to get the Philosopher's Stone from Gringotts. Then Hagrid must be someone Dumbledore trusts. The information that Potter and Hermione got was probably revealed by Dumbledore on purpose."

"Why, Mr. Potter is not even good at studying, he is only good at riding a broom."

……

"Brie, what are you mumbling about?" Vern was spitting out sparks of lamp oil, looking at Brie's lack of energy, and asked with concern.

"Maybe you should go to dinner, it's getting late."

"Gu..."

"You're right, Ver."

Bree temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart. He only needs to reveal the secret of the restricted area on the fourth floor to understand everything, so why bother so much.

Bree left the turret and heard Cedric's voice after dinner.

"Here's the small box for you. Professor Sprout asked me to return it to you...but."

but?

Bree couldn't help but become nervous, but she must not find the unicorn carcass in the flower garden.

Seeing Bree's nervous look, Cedric smiled and said: "Professor Sprout said that she would prepare plants for Christmas decoration soon, so she needs some help from some little wizards, and she specially asked you."

"Huh, oh, this is a small thing, oh, but Christmas is coming, it's so fast."

There was some sadness in Bree's eyes, but the emotion quickly disappeared, and Cedric didn't even react.

"Aren't you going home?" Cedric asked.

Brie didn't seem to have told anyone about his story, and he wasn't going to.

"I've decided to stay and hope Christmas at Hogwarts will be safer than Halloween."

After hearing this, Cedric seemed to remember that when he was at King's Cross Station, Bree came alone. Based on Bree's owl exchanges in the past few months, Cedric vaguely knew something.

"If you don't mind, I can invite you to my house for Christmas."

"Sorry, Cedric, I guess I don't fit in. I'd be happier at Hogwarts."

What Bree said was not a lie. He had never liked Christmas because it was the day Bree was thrown into the orphanage. It was also Betty's birthday that she hated. But Bree never gave her a birthday gift, and Betty didn't. Only gave Brie a satchel when he was 9 years old.

Maybe we can take advantage of Christmas, when most of the little wizards go home, to explore the restricted area on the fourth floor. On this day, many professors will also leave Hogwarts. I heard that Quirrell is also leaving...

Oh, wait, Bree doesn't think this is necessarily a good time, because Bree thought the same way during the last Quidditch match, but the result made Bree regret it. She stole the chicken but lost the rice. She was depressed!
