Chapter 497： Scary to think about

Chapter 497 It’s scary to think about it carefully

Soon after, Harry finally woke up from the coma and learned the truth from Dumbledore. Afterwards, he did not forget to share the thrilling story with his two friends.

Harry also learned something about what happened afterwards from Hermione and Ron.

When the two of them hurriedly left the dungeon and were about to send a letter to Principal Dumbledore to report on the situation here, they met Dumbledore, who had just returned from the Ministry of Magic, outside the restricted corridor on the fourth floor.

 Actually, Hermione and Ron were too anxious.

How could it be possible to send a letter to the principal in time at that time?

By the time Dumbledore received the letter and rushed back to Hogwarts School, it would have been several hours later. By then, let alone stopping Quirrell, Harry Potter's body would have been cold.

Fortunately, Dumbledore came back "early", otherwise it would have been too late.

Hermione lowered her voice and said to the two of them: "I think Principal Dumbledore asked you to do this on purpose."

“You mean he gave Harry the Invisibility Cloak to deliberately guide Harry to do that?” Ron was shocked and couldn’t understand why Principal Dumbledore would do this.

"If he was like that - it would be terrible - I mean you would probably be killed." Hermione said with a hint of uneasiness in her voice.

After experiencing this incident, Hermione realized that what Albert said was actually right. The Philosopher's Stone was really safe and had been under the strictest protection of Principal Dumbledore from the beginning. Otherwise, how could the Principal show up at the right time? ?

 There are not so many coincidences in the world.

It is impossible for Quirrell to steal the magic stone.

"I think Dumbledore probably wanted to give me a chance." Harry frowned and expressed his thoughts, "He knew more or less about what happened. He might even know what we were planning to do, but he didn't stop it. Instead, he taught us many useful things secretly.”

"Why did the principal do that?" Hermione thought secretly and came up with an immature answer. The principal may be training Harry. If Voldemort is still alive, then...

Had she not spent some time with Albert, Hermione might not have been aware of these problems, but if she thought about it carefully, many things would become clear to her.

 Some of the things Harry did were probably guided by Dumbledore.

It was definitely not an accident that they were sent to the Forbidden Forest to help Hagrid search for injured unicorns.

Hermione has checked the school records. There are various ways of confinement in Hogwarts school, but professors will never play with the lives of students.

"Actually..." Ron hesitated for a moment, then said, "I think Albert may also know most things."

 “Albert?” Harry was a little confused and asked, “Why do you say that?”

“Don’t forget, it was he who told us about Nico Flamel’s relationship with the Philosopher’s Stone.”

Ron picked up the candies piled on the table, handed them to Harry and Hermione, then unwrapped the chocolate himself, took a bite and said, "You don't know, George let it slip. He said they were already together." Let’s go through the magic levels set by the professors.”

Harry opened his mouth in shock, not knowing what to say.

"You didn't tell me." Hermione glared at Ron angrily.

“Actually, I only found out today.” Ron stretched out his hand and scratched his head and explained, “Lu Wei has disappeared. Many students are trying to pass through the trap door and risk their way below.”

"A lot of people?"

"There are a lot of people," Ron said seriously, "but most of the students were blocked by Professor McGonagall's giant chessboard array. I heard that a few students who wanted to force their way in were slightly injured because of it. "

 Speaking of this, Ron was still a little proud.

"Then what?"

"I saw that Fred and George did not go on an adventure with others. I know them better than you. If it were before, they would not give up such an opportunity." The expression on Ron's face was very complicated. , "Guess what they said."

 “How?” Hermione asked

"He said we have already passed through." Ron reminded, "The dog just disappeared today, and don't forget, Albert knows how to pass through Lu Wei. They can pass through those levels, and I don't know. Not surprised."

Hermione also agreed with Ron's statement. She did not think that the magical mechanism she could break through could stop Albert, a genius.

Hermione even suspected that Albert had already guessed that Quirrell was the thief. His evaluation of Snape had always been: He really didn't look like a good person.

Harry was silent. He had actually asked Dumbledore. The principal only said that Albert knew Nico Flamel and they kept in touch by letters.

 “By the way Harry, you missed the last Quidditch match.”

 Ron's words made Harry feel a pinch in his heart. He knew that he was the only Seeker on the team. If he lost him...

As soon as Harry thought that, he was stunned by Ron's words again.

“However, we still won the Quidditch trophy, and Albert played in your place and successfully caught the Golden Snitch.”

"That's really great." A smile appeared on Harry's stiff face. He knew that Wood had always wanted to lead Gryffindor House to win the championship. When he heard that Albert had done it for him, Harry couldn't help but relax. He sighed, if Gryffindor missed the chance of a trophy because of himself, he would feel guilty.

"Of course, Slytherin still won first place. You know, because of that incident, we have completely missed the Academy Cup." Ron said with regret.

"Don't worry." Hermione said suddenly, "I heard from Albert that this year's Academy Cup belongs to Gryffindor."

 “Do you believe we can win the Academy Cup?”

 “Well, I believe what Albert says.”

 In fact, in the past, Hermione would not have believed such nonsense, but if the person speaking had the power of prophecy, why might she believe it?

  In any case, you won’t suffer any loss.

 In the short time she talked with Albert, Hermione saw so many incredible things from that genius.

  In the next few days, Harry was still lying on the hospital bed recuperating. Hagrid sent him a photo album full of Harry's family members and apologized to him in tears.

Harry was very pleased with the photo album, he had no photos of his own family.

 After getting Madam Pomfrey's permission, Harry finally left the hospital to attend the year-end banquet. And he also witnessed a dramatic scene with his own eyes. Slytherin House, which was temporarily leading, was moved to second place by Dumbledore's extra point operation. Gryffindor, who was at the bottom, unexpectedly came back to win and won the final of the House Cup. victory.

As for Harry, the savior who defeated Quirrell and saved the Philosopher's Stone, he also became the hero of Gryffindor House. Those unpleasant past events were quickly forgotten.

At this moment, at the guest of honor seat, Snape was shaking hands with Professor McGonagall. Everyone was surprised to find that the expression on the Potions Professor's face was so wonderful that people wanted to find a camera to capture this scene.

 The year-end dinner ended with laughter, at least for the Gryffindor students, it was a perfect ending.
