Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

"Look, what I said is right. Quirrell was threatened by Snape, and Snape was the real mastermind." Ron looked at Nydia proudly.

After Harry returned to the common room, he did not attend the celebration that everyone had prepared for him. Instead, he hurriedly called out Nydia, Ron and Hermione. In an empty classroom, he told everyone that he had just See everything.

After the game, he discovered that Snape had sneaked into the Forbidden Forest and followed him there. He found that Snape was threatening Quirrell.

"Our analysis is correct. That thing is the Philosopher's Stone. Snape wanted to force Quirrell to help him get the Philosopher's Stone. He also asked Rocky if he knew how to subdue Lu Wei (the three-headed dog) and what other secrets he had. Just a little trick, I think besides Lu Wei, there are probably other agencies guarding the Sorcerer's Stone." Harry told everyone what he saw.

"You mean, the Philosopher's Stone is safe only when Quirrell can resist Snape?" Hermione asked in panic.

"This is unreasonable. If Quirrell is already helping Snape with the Halloween monster thing, then why does Snape need to threaten Quirrell now?" Nydia still insisted on her point of view.

"Harry has heard it with his own ears, why don't you still want to believe it? Did Snape give you some drug?" Ron looked in disbelief.

"I'm not biased, I just think it's unreasonable," Nitya said.

"Maybe Quirrell thought it wouldn't have much impact and compromised, but when it came to the Philosopher's Stone, he resisted again. Maybe he had been thinking of ways to resist Snape," Harry said.

"Now the hope of protecting the Philosopher's Stone actually falls on Quirrell. I feel that the Philosopher's Stone may be gone soon." Ron said.

Nydia didn't argue any more. Indeed, the evidence before her now, Snape, was more suspicious than Quirrell. Even Nydia's own heart began to waver.

In the next period of time, Harry and others began to dissuade some students who were teasing and laughing at Quirrell. They hoped that Quirrell would cheer up and persist in fighting Snape, and Quirrell seemed to be much braver than everyone thought. , several weeks passed, and nothing happened, except that his face became increasingly ugly.

One afternoon, Nydia and Michelle sneaked to Hogsmeade village again while there was no class. They began to become more and more bold, going more and more often, and staying longer and longer. This even aroused Hermione's suspicion, because there would often be snacks of unknown origin on them.

"Hurry up, we're late again. If we pass the curfew, we'll be in trouble." Nidia urged Michelle, who was still stuffing gummy candies into her pockets.

"Just wait for me, I'll be fine soon... Hey! Wait." Michelle suddenly stopped stuffing candy and pointed diagonally forward with her finger, "Who is that?"

"Hagrid?" Nydia looked in the direction Michelle pointed, "That's the direction of the Pig's Head Bar. Hagrid went there to have a drink, that's not surprising!"

"No, I mean the person following Hagrid! The hooded one, is he following Hagrid?" Michelle said.

Nidia looked behind Hagrid and saw a man wearing a hood and wrapped tightly not far behind Hagrid, deliberately keeping a distance. After Hagrid entered the Pig Head Bar, he He stayed at the door for a moment, looked around, and then followed in.

"Why is he following Hagrid? Let's follow him and take a look!" After saying that, Nidia walked towards the Pig's Head Bar.

"The Pig's Head Bar is very chaotic. There are all kinds of people. Fred warned us to stay away." Michelle was a little worried. The Pig's Head Bar is a place that even the twin brothers would not approach easily.

"If we don't go in, we'll just look in through the window. I'm worried that Hagrid will be in danger."

Nidia said as she quietly approached the window of the Pig's Head Bar and looked into the bar. She saw Hagrid and the hooded man having a lively conversation.

"It doesn't feel like you want to harm Hagrid!" Michelle said.

"Let's take a look again!" Nitya was still not reassured. This person's approach was too deliberate.

"Aren't you in a hurry to go back to school now?" Michelle asked. "It's really past curfew."

"It doesn't matter, I have a way." Nidia took out Harry's invisibility cloak from the pocket she always carried. "I borrowed this from Harry."

"You've already prepared to come home late, right?" Michelle was surprised by Nitya's preparation.

"I'm just worried that we will get into trouble if we come home late. We almost passed the curfew a few times before." Nidia is now glad that she has this preparation. "I think we should put this on now."

"good idea."

Time passed little by little. Nidia and Michelle had been lurking outside the window of the Pig Head Bar to observe the situation. Hagrid and the hooded man were still just drinking and chatting. He seemed to be asking Hagrid something. Hagrid They kept talking. Although they couldn't hear what they were talking about, it seemed from Hagrid's expression that he was very happy.

"Look, what he gave to Hagrid." Just when they almost wanted to give up, the situation made new progress.

"An egg? Why give Hagrid an egg?"

"Don't make a sound, he's out!"

They held their breath and squatted quietly against the wall without moving. The hooded man walked out of the bar.

"Should we follow him and return him or continue to watch Hagrid?" Michelle asked Nitya.

"Of course I'll follow him!"

After the man walked away, Nitya and Michelle quietly followed him. Nidia felt that this person's aura was particularly strange, and she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with him, but this figure was obviously very unfamiliar.

"He was walking towards the school." Michelle said after following him for a while.

"Is he from the school?" Nidia also found that they were getting closer to the school.

"He stopped! What was he doing?"

The person in front suddenly stopped, and they also stopped quickly, worried that they had been discovered. The man lowered his head and seemed to be putting something on his head. When he raised his head again, his hood was Already letting go, Nidia and Michelle were shocked by the person in front of them and did not follow his footsteps, because this person was very familiar to them, it was their Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Quirrell.

"Why is Quirrell so sneaky when he goes to the bar?" Michelle asked puzzledly. She thought that Quirrell could just go to the Pig's Head Bar openly.

"How could it be him?" From the moment Quirrell put on his big scarf and hat, Nidia felt that his aura had completely changed, and the inexplicable familiarity before was completely gone.

"Nitya, do you know anything?" Michelle asked, looking at Nitya's thoughtful look. "I've felt like you and Harry were planning something for a while."

Nidia didn't answer, and her thoughts were a little unclear now. She felt that Quirrell seemed to be hiding something dangerous.

"It's okay if it's not convenient for you to tell me." Seeing that Nitya didn't answer, Michelle didn't want to embarrass her, but she still looked a little disappointed.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you Michelle, it's just that I don't know where to start. Many situations are just our guesses."

Nitya felt a little embarrassed. She didn't know whether to involve Michelle in this matter. After thinking for a moment, she finally decided to tell Michelle everything. Michelle was her closest friend. She didn't want to create any rift with her.

"So you think Snape and Quirrell are planning to steal something guarded by the big dog in the corridor on the fourth floor, and that the thing hidden inside is the magic stone that can turn stones into gold and make people immortal? Then Snape Pu also wanted to murder Harry," Michelle said in surprise after hearing what Nitya said.

Nydia nodded, "To be honest, my personal feeling is that Snape is not necessarily colluding with Quirrell. I can't say why, and I don't have any concrete evidence yet."

"The amount of information is too much, I need to digest it!" Michelle couldn't accept it for a while that the teachers in her school were secretly trying to steal the principal's things and persecute the students in the school.

"I also think this matter is too ridiculous, so I never wanted to involve you before." Nidia understood Michelle's current mood very well.

"Why do you think Snape is not the one who conspired with Quirrell? Now a lot of evidence shows that Snape forced Quirrell." Michelle asked Nydia.

"I can't say for sure. From my contact with Snape, I feel that he is a cold-faced and soft-hearted person. Although his words are a bit harsh, he has never really punished any students excessively. Also, Even my father thinks it is impossible for him to harm students." Nitya expressed her thoughts, although there was no factual evidence.

"I believe you!" Michelle said decisively.

"Why? These are just my personal thoughts without any basis." Nidia did not expect Michelle to believe her own thoughts so decisively. Harry and Ron have always been unwilling to believe it.

"I just believe in your feelings, and judging from his behavior in the bar just now, I don't think Quirrell is as submissive as he appears." Michelle said. "Aren't you and Harry very close to Hagrid? I think you and Harry can go to Hagrid's tomorrow to see what kind of egg he got from Quirrell."

"Yes, his behavior is too strange. I will go to Hagrid tomorrow to inquire about it." With people supporting her ideas, Nidia herself became more determined that Quirrell had an unusual idea.
