Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 457: Unexpected results
In the past few days, when nothing happened, many people couldn't calm down.
Ever since he was spoiled by Albert last time, Hagrid has been thinking about the dragon egg in his head. Can he really get the dragon egg that Albert said?
Although Hagrid doesn't know how expensive dragon eggs are, he likes dragons and knows that it takes a lot of money to get a dragon egg.
Hagrid has always wanted to raise a dragon, and the thought that his wish is very likely to come true makes him inexplicably anxious, often wandering back and forth in his cabin, giggling.
Unbeknownst to Hagrid, however, he himself has become a source of entanglement for others.
Not long ago, Quirrell, who managed to get the dragon egg, was also upset because Hagrid showed no sign of leaving Hogwarts at all.
This is not good news for Quirrell, who is getting worse.
His body really can't hold it anymore.
Aside from being possessed by Voldemort for the first time, Quirrell had never smelled death like he did now, and all the joy he had brought from obtaining a dragon's egg had disappeared.
He really is dying!
However, Quirrell wasn't completely mad because he was dying, perhaps because he knew he had a way back, one that Voldemort had left him.
Hunting unicorns and sucking their blood to stay alive will be Quirrell's last resort.
At this moment, the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor is still secretly watching Hagrid, waiting for him to leave Hogwarts and waiting for the opportunity to come.
Compared with the previous two, Hermione, who had been shown by Albert's sleazy manipulation, did not explode in her mentality, but felt more and more that Albert was surrounded by a mysterious aura.
Perhaps, he's posing.
Perhaps, he's like a treasure waiting to be unearthed.
Hermione never told Harry or Ron these things, and she followed the agreement between the two to keep Albert a secret.
I don't know if it was Hermione's absent-mindedness in the knockout rounds, or her bad luck. She met Truman, the strongest opponent so far, and was directly crushed 2-0, and reluctantly stopped in the quarterfinals.
Ron has been regretting Hermione's elimination. He originally thought that Hermione would be able to go all the way to win the final wizard card game and get ten Galleons. As a result...
I always feel that Ron regrets losing the game more than Hermione.
Harry didn't care about the wizarding card game at all. It didn't matter to him whether he won the championship or not. As for the reward of ten Galleons, it was even less important. He was not short of money.
Lately, Harry has also been irritable.
Because Professor Quirrell is getting paler and thinner. Harry was worried that the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor would not be able to withstand the pressure to compromise with Snape and tell him how to pass the mechanism guarding the Philosopher's Stone.
"Harry." Hermione said after a moment of hesitation after hearing Harry's words, "I think your worries are unnecessary."
Excessive?
Harry had a look of shock and confusion on his face.
"Do you know something?" Ron whispered after looking around to make sure no one was eavesdropping.
"Are we really the only ones who know that someone wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone?" Hermione asked in a low voice, "I mean, the professors involved in protecting the Philosopher's Stone, and even Headmaster Dumbledore really know that someone wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone? Do you want to steal the Philosopher's Stone?"
Harry and Ron looked at each other, neither said a word, listening quietly to Hermione to continue.
"Impossible, right!" said Hermione, taking a deep breath. "After all, it was almost stolen at Gringotts. And, I think there must be a reason for that stone in there, I never thought that Headmaster Dumbledore was old and confused."
"How old is Headmaster Dumbledore?" Ron asked nonchalantly.
"Probably... over a hundred years old!" Hermione replied uncertainly.
"Even you have to admit that the Headmaster is indeed getting old," Harry made it clear.
"Perhaps, Principal Dumbledore is indeed a little old, but he will not be confused, and..." Hermione shook her head, "Albert also thinks that the Principal put the Philosopher's Stone in the school for other purposes."
"He told you?" Harry couldn't help looking at the long Gryffindor table, where Albert was presiding over the finale.
"Well, he thinks there's a reason that stone was placed in the school." Hermione hesitated, but whispered, "Also, I think he probably knows how to subdue Lou Williams."
"You said Albert might know how to subdue Fluffy" Harry said eagerly, looking at Hermione in shock, "but... Hagrid shouldn't tell anyone but Dumbledore. Yes."
"Albert and Hagrid have a very good relationship, and he seems to know very well about Hagrid raising Lou Wei." Hermione noted the shock and confusion on Harry and Ron's faces, and reminded in a low voice : "It is said that Albert also understands prophecy. If he really understands divination through crystal balls, it is not surprising that he knows how to subdue Lou Wei."
"If, I mean if Anderson wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone!" A very absurd thought suddenly popped into Harry's head.
"He wouldn't do that?" Hermione shook her head and denied Harry's words.
"I just said if." Harry didn't continue to struggle with the matter, he knew that Hermione had a little admiration for Albert.
Ron also looked sideways at the place where the finals were being played, the corners of his mouth shaking slightly, not knowing what to say.
The Wizarding Card Tournament is coming to an end.
Sannah was not among the students competing for the championship in the finals, but Ravenclaw genius Isobel and Hufflepuff prefect Truman.
The hapless Shanna met Isobel in the semifinals and was eliminated 2-1.
Although it is said that the final championship final is five games and three wins, but the two only played three games, Truman lost three games in a row and ended in a disastrous defeat.
"I knew it would be like this." Katrina said blankly, saying that she was not envious was a lie, but it was her sister who won the victory, and she was still happy for the other party.
Isobel's victory was completely unexpected by Katrina, and has always been this way.
Isobel is always a winner, no matter what.
“Some say you can count the number of times you’ve played wizard cards with your hands~IndoMTL.com~Is this true?” Lee Jordan handed the championship reward to Isobel at Albert At that time, he took the microphone and asked.
"No such thing, I occasionally play wizard cards, Albert can testify for me." Isobel gave Albert a charming smile, "He taught me to play wizard cards, I still remember him saying that wizard cards are going to be all over the wizarding world, how can I not know how to play wizard cards as a student. I can win more because playing poker with Albert and learning from him An understanding of the wizarding card game."
Of course, they don't know at all that Isobel's words are pure nonsense, just to avoid hitting people too much.
"It seems that you are not wronged." Diggory reached out and patted Truman's shoulder comfortably.
Truman looked at the runner-up prize in his hand and stuffed the bag of candy he bought from Duke Bee into his pocket to help Fred and George distribute the Butterbeer.
Albert found several senior students who knew how to use the refill spell, and asked them to take turns casting a spell on the oak kegs, providing everyone with a steady stream of butterbeer.
The Wizarding Card Tournament ended with laughter and clinking glasses.
Outside the hall, Professor Quirrell always felt an inexplicable irritability as he watched the students drinking and celebrating the successful conclusion of the wizarding card competition in the hall.
"Quirinas, maybe we should talk." Snape appeared beside Quirrell without warning, staring blankly at the scene in the hall, and said calmly.
"Okay - okay!"
The back of Quirrell and Snape's departure happened to be seen by Harry. The savior secretly wanted to follow and eavesdrop, but it was no accident that Snape discovered it.
