, "It seems that it can only be as told in the letter, right?"

"I'll sneak into the restricted area on the fourth floor for a while, trying to get the Philosopher's Stone first!"

"You're crazy!" Ron exclaimed.

His cry caught the attention of Professor McGonagall in the classroom, and the voice of the lecture paused.Ron quickly covered his mouth.

Harry and Hermione were shocked, and quickly pulled Ron away from the scene, and went down the marble steps to the first floor of the castle.

"Harry, you can't do this!" Hermione said to Harry seriously in the quiet entrance courtyard, "Those arrangements in the restricted area on the fourth floor are used to protect the Sorcerer's Stone, you are just a first-year kid Wizard, it's too dangerous to break into the restricted area!"

"Hermione is right!" Ron also persuaded, "And maybe Quirrell has entered the restricted area. Are you going to find him to send yourself as a gift?"

"So what?" Harry said emotionally, "Don't you understand? If Quirrell gets the Sorcerer's Stone, Voldemort will come back! Haven't you heard that when he wanted to occupy the wizarding world, here What is the situation?"

"Hogwarts wouldn't exist if he had his way, and he'd burn the school to the ground, or turn it into a school for the Dark Arts! Do you think Voldemort would let you and your families go? ?"

"If Voldemort is resurrected, all I can do is find a place to die. I will never go to the dark forces! I must go through that trap door tonight, and then get the Philosopher's Stone, Nothing you two can say will stop me! Voldemort killed my parents, remember?"

Harry finished a long passage excitedly, without panting, and even incoherently, staring at them breathlessly.

"You're right, Harry." Hermione's voice trailed off.

"Don't worry, I'll use my invisibility cloak." Harry's mood gradually stabilized, and he said softly, "Maybe I can bypass him without being noticed by Quirrell, and get the Philosopher's Stone smoothly? "

"But can the Invisibility Cloak cover all three of us?" Ron asked suddenly.

"We... the three of us?" Harry's eyes widened.

"Oh, don't be stupid, buddy. Do you think we'll let you go alone?" Ron spread his arms and put his arm around Harry's shoulder.

"Of course not!" Hermione said immediately, her tone was quite aggressive, "How could you think of leaving us alone to find the Philosopher's Stone? I'd better go and look through my books, maybe I can Found something useful..."

Chapter 67 The Petrified Three-Headed Dog

Before going to the restricted area, Hermione suggested to go to Hagrid to figure out how to deal with the three-headed dog.

Because dogs have always had a very keen sense of smell, Harry's invisibility cloak could only block their vision, but it couldn't cover their smell, so it probably wouldn't have any effect on the three-headed dogs.

Harry and Ron agreed, confident in getting the words out of Hagrid.After all, as we all know, Hagrid is tight-lipped, but the premise is that there is no bottle opener...

So, the three of them came to Hagrid's hut.

"Hagrid, what's the matter with you?"

Looking at Hagrid's big face wrapped in bandages, half-scorched clothes, and a large piece of bald hair and beard, Harry asked in surprise.

"Ah, I'm fine. I added too much firewood to boil the water last night, and accidentally burned myself." Hagrid said with a guilty conscience.

Harry, Hermione, and Ron looked at each other, thinking that there must be something tricky about it.

"Hagrid, did you do something against the school rules?" Harry asked.

"No! I definitely didn't!" Hagrid was startled, and shouted emotionally, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful, I will sue you for defamation!"

Hermione frowned suspiciously, and moved closer to Hagrid for a closer look.

"Something's wrong," she said. "Not only are you burnt, but you also have animal scratches."

Hagrid hurriedly covered his overcoat with his hands, and jumped back a certain distance with an unnatural expression on his face, shaking the entire shed.

"No, but...Maybe I accidentally scratched it somewhere..." He stumbled and said.

"Hagrid, I remember you've always wanted to raise a dragon." Hermione looked at him with keen eyes, "The burn marks, the animal scratches on the clothes... you really don't want to raise a dragon." Fire dragon?"

"I didn't!" Hagrid blurted out, "Look clearly, the scratches of manticores and dragons are different!"

After he finished speaking, he regretted it and quickly covered his mouth, but it was too late.

"So you had a manticore?" Hermione asked. "And what are the burn marks? I've read Mr. Scamander's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, but it doesn't mention Until the manticore breathes fire."

"Okay, I admit that I did something wrong last night." Hagrid said dejectedly, "I tried to crossbreed a manticore with a fire crab. I hid well by the side, but for some reason the sky suddenly brightened Get up, and then I was found by the animals..."

Harry and Ron looked sympathetic, and tiptoed to pat Hagrid's big belly as a comfort.

At this time, Hermione quietly winked at the two of them.

Harry suddenly remembered that there were still tasks to do today, so he quickly changed his attitude.

"Hagrid, you have been tossed to such an extent by a few fire crabs and manticores. I don't think you are as good at dealing with animals as you said." He raised his head and said disdainfully.

To be honest, his acting skills were a bit exaggerated, but Hagrid didn't see it.

"Nonsense! I'm the best at dealing with small animals!" Hagrid retorted unconvinced, feeling that his expertise had been challenged.

"But we can't see it." Ron, who was as slow as he was, also reacted at this time, and continued, "I think it's just a coincidence that you can subdue the three-headed dog!"

Hagrid blushed with his big, unshaven face, and slammed the table in front of him.

"Just kidding!" he said loudly, "the three-headed dog is the easiest to deal with, as long as you know how to calm it down and play some music to it, it will fall asleep immediately..."

Before he finished speaking, Hagrid suddenly showed a terrified expression on his face.

"I shouldn't have told you this!" he said bitterly. "Forget what I said! Say—where are you going?"

At this time, Harry, Ron, and Hermione had already got what they wanted, and ran from Hagrid's hut into the castle's foyer without exchanging a word along the way.

They stood panting in the quiet hallway, looked at each other, their expressions gradually changed from confusion to firmness.

"Without further delay, we must go to the restricted area to stop Quirrell as soon as possible!" Harry said, and at the same time

He took out the invisibility cloak from his pocket.

Hermione and Ron nodded and got into Harry's invisibility cloak together.

Following the vague memories of their previous night tour, they quickly came to the outside of the corridor on the fourth floor—the door had already been opened a crack.

"Well, you see," Harry whispered, "I'm afraid Quirrell has passed Lu Wei."

Seeing the ajar door, they seemed more aware of what they were about to face.Harry turned to look at Ron and Hermione under the cloak.

"If you want to retreat now, I won't blame you." He said, "Voldemort is what I should face, and I don't want to involve you. You don't have to join me to destroy his plan, so that even if he does come back Yes, you also have a chance to save your life."

"Don't be silly," said Ron.

"Come on, let's go in together." Hermione shook her head and said firmly.

Harry took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

Walking into this door, his mood was solemn, as if he had walked into his destined life...

However, instead of the deep barking of the three-headed dog, what greeted them was darkness and dead silence.

"Hermione, didn't you say that the three-headed dog must be able to smell us, and the invisibility cloak is useless to it?" Harry lowered his voice and asked Hermione, "There is no movement now, is it because the invisibility cloak can Is the smell covered too?"

Hermione frowned and took two steps forward, and suddenly lifted the invisibility cloak.

"Hermione!"

"Hermione, what are you doing!"

However, Hermione didn't care about the worries of the two, but stretched out her wand in the dark room——

"Luminescence (Lus)!"

A light shone from the tip of Hermione's wand, illuminating the dimly lit room.

Harry and Ron were stunned to see a huge three-headed dog that almost filled most of the room standing motionless.

Its eyes were wide open on one head, and it poked its head forward angrily, while the eyes on the other two heads were closed, as if it hadn't fully woken up yet.

The three-headed dog maintained such a movement, without any movement, and even lost its breath.

Harry plucked up the courage to walk up to it and patted its body, only to find that the three-headed dog's fur and flesh were as stiff as a block of wood.

"Quirrell petrified Lu Wei with a curse we don't know, Harry." Hermione said softly, "We must be prepared, he is far more powerful than we thought."

Her tone seemed very heavy.

……

At this time, neither Quirrell nor Harry noticed that there was a very good-looking bat hanging upside down in a dark corner of the room, watching the movements of Harry and Quirrell, his eyes sparkled with interest.

Dracula has been here for a long time, and he even came a few minutes earlier than Quirrell.He admired Quirrell and the three little ones almost from beginning to end.

After seeing Harry tied up with a rope, Quirrell showed a completely different arrogance from usual, he flapped his wings with interest, and subconsciously wanted to take out a lollipop and put it in his mouth.

Then he realized that he was not in human form now, so he folded his wings behind his back resentfully...

In the room of the last level, Quirrell loosened the ropes that bound Harry and made him stand in front of the mirror, the Mirror of Erised.

The next moment, Dracula clearly saw that the Philosopher's Stone quietly fell into Harry's pocket.

Harry doesn't admit that he got the Philosopher's Stone, and Quirrell doesn't believe it.After some disputes, Quirrell suddenly untied the purple turban on his head.

Where the back of the head should have been, there was an extremely hideous and terrifying face.The face was as white as chalk, with glowing red eyes and two nostrils that were long and slender like snakes.

"Sure enough." Dracula thought to himself, "The scar on Quirrell was not caused by the vampire he said, but the trace left by Voldemort when he parasitized."

When the professors of Hogwarts were checked before, Voldemort should have recovered some strength, and he did not know how to leave Quirrell's body.But even if he left, the traces he left would not disappear so easily.

"Harry Potter..." the hideous face whispered, "Give me the Philosopher's Stone, and don't let your mother die for you in vain."

Harry ignored him, gritted his teeth, and rushed towards the door that was burning with black flames.

What happened next gradually made Dracula a little confused——

Under Voldemort's command, Quirrell rushed up and grabbed Harry's wrist.Immediately afterwards, Harry seemed to feel some pain, shouted loudly, and struggled desperately.

At the same time, however, Quirrell also strangely let go of Harry's hand, arching his body in pain.Blisters popped up from his fingers one by one out of thin air!

"Master, I can't hold him...my hand, my hand!" Quirrell groaned in pain.

"Then kill him, trash, hurry up!" said Voldemort in a harsh voice behind Quirrell's head.
