Hogwarts Collector, I cast a spell with the Eye of God - Chapter 119
Snape took a deep breath and tried to calm his excitement:”But…how is this possible? I mean, how did that person sneak into Hogwarts with Quirrell?……”
“It’s not hard to understand, Severus.”
Dumbledore sighed softly,”When I saw this pattern, I understood that person’s method. This ritual is not only used to completely possess Quirrell’s body. If it is slightly adjusted, it can also prevent that person from completely devouring Quirrell’s body, but only staying in part of Quirrell’s body.”
“It’s just a part… I see, it’s the back of the head, no wonder Quirrell wears that turban every day.”
Snape’s face was terribly gloomy, he looked at Dumbledore, and said in an almost questioning tone:”You knew that person a long time ago… was hiding on the back of Quirrell’s head?”
Dumbledore maintained a calm tone, without revealing any pride:”Yes and no, I sensed an unusual aura when I first met Quirrell. Although he concealed it very well and it was almost impossible for ordinary people to detect it, I have always been more careful than ordinary people.”
He went on:”After the incident in Gringotts, I became more convinced of my intuition that he was by Quirrell’s side. It’s just that I haven’t been able to figure out that person’s lurking methods.”
Snape stared at Dumbledore with even more anger,”You knew that person was on Quirrell, but you still let him move freely in the school?”
“Headmaster, is your head full of troll snot?! There are so many students in the school… and that kid Potter… he is impulsive, arrogant, arrogant, ignorant… that person wants to kill him immediately! Aren’t you afraid of something going wrong?”
Dumbledore responded deeply but calmly:”Severus, the choices Harry will face in the future will probably be much more difficult than they are now. This is a test and training for him, he is very important. If he can’t even bear this, then I must adjust my plan in advance.””
“This is a test and a test. He is very important! If he can’t even withstand these, I must change the plan in advance.”
He paused, and added:”Besides, I have been secretly monitoring Quirrell.”
Snape asked sarcastically:”Then, did you expect Quirrell’s death?”
For a moment, the air was filled with terrible silence.
Dumbledore really miscalculated this time.
Originally in his script, Harry should have been guided step by step, and then realized that something was wrong with Quirrell, and then bravely broke into the restricted area on the fourth floor.
Next, Harry, with the help of his friends, broke through many levels, and finally faced Voldemort head-on. Relying on the power left to him by Lily, he defeated the big devil in one fell swoop!
This is where the whole story should go.
Unfortunately, plans always can’t keep up with changes.
How could Dumbledore have thought that Quirrell would suddenly go crazy last night and… Breaking into the Forbidden Forest?
Not to mention that he later had the audacity to come to the restricted area to steal the Philosopher’s Stone.
The most surprising thing is that Quirrell, a character who was originally designed to be a tool man, died before the end of the story.
However, thinking back to the level settings he had just seen, Dumbledore was relieved.
You are really something, Ye Ting.
For the first time, he realized that his indulgence of the little wizard was a bit too much.
Although this indulgence did fully stimulate the potential of the little wizard, this stimulated potential was too…
He now felt a little tricky and could not help rubbing his temples.
“What are you going to do with this restricted area?” Snape couldn’t help asking,”And what about the Philosopher’s Stone?” Dumbledore took a deep breath and said thoughtfully,”Keep it for now… Of course, those levels must be restored to their original state, or at least become simpler.”
He paused and sighed again,”I know Voldemort too well, maybe even better than he knows him. I’m sure that guy has never left, he is hiding in a corner of this school.”
“”Then where do you think he will hide?” Snape frowned. Dumbledore pondered for a moment and whispered,”There are too many possible places. I will look for them one by one, but I am afraid that he is hiding somewhere I don’t know at all.”
A sarcastic smile appeared on Snape’s lips:”Is there any place in this school that you don’t know?” Dumbledore smiled bitterly and shook his head:”Severus, there are too many secrets in the castle of Hogwarts. Even I can’t know them all. Now there is a place that I know exists, but I have been tracking it for so long, but I still can’t figure out the exact location.”
Snape looked at Dumbledore with a suspicious look, as if trying to figure out the truth of his words.
After a while, Snape asked again:”What about Quirrell’s matter? He is a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. He can’t die inexplicably in school like this? The Ministry of Magic will definitely intervene in the investigation. How do you plan to explain it to them?”
Dumbledore seemed confident:”Well, let’s say Quirrell attacked Gringotts. He is a dark wizard lurking in our school. Moreover, he was also responsible for the two attacks in the Forbidden Forest. I believe Cornelius will be very happy to see such a criminal arrested, even if the body is not found.”
“”Where’s the evidence? Will those people in the Ministry of Magic believe it?” Snape asked with a frown.
“What I say is evidence.” Dumbledore said firmly,”Quirrell didn’t stay in his room that night, but ran to the restricted area. Isn’t it obvious that he wanted to steal the Philosopher’s Stone?”
Dumbledore pointed at Quirrell’s bloodstains,”You saw it, his last trace was here.”
Snape didn’t quite buy it,”Maybe he was just curious and came here to take a look? To be honest, these evidences are a bit far-fetched.”
“I have Ye Ting as a witness.”
Dumbledore said,”I will let him be questioned by the Aurors, and he will tell them that he saw with his own eyes that Quirrell was the black-robed wizard who attacked the Forbidden Forest.”
Snape shook his head,”Is this really a good idea? Ye Ting is the only eyewitness, and the Ministry of Magic will certainly make his testimony public in order to close the case, and all the media will report it crazily.”
He continued with a bit of sarcasm,”Think about it, what will the newspapers write? A first-year student riding a dragon to fight a dark wizard to protect Hogwarts? Is this kind of exaggerated praise really good for a child? Are you sure it won’t affect his growth?”
“Ye Ting is stronger and more mature than you think.”Dumbledore responded seriously.
The in-depth conversation last night left him with a deep impression of Ye Ting’s wisdom and maturity.
Snape shrugged indifferently.
Although he didn’t have much affection for Ye Ting, he also recognized Ye Ting’s excellence.
He didn’t want Ye Ting to become like Potter – reckless, arrogant, and love to show off.
Speaking of Potter, why doesn’t he look like his mother Lily at all?
Snape couldn’t help but sigh, full of regret.
If Harry was a girl, he would adopt her even if he tried his best!
Dumbledore waved his wand lightly, and a circle of flickering magic appeared on the ground, carefully sealing the bloodstains.
He turned around and picked up the parchment on the table, his eyes inadvertently swept across the bottle of No. 5 potion that had run out of steam, a trace of contemplation flashed in his eyes, and he didn’t speak for a long time.
Finally, he broke the silence and asked with some curiosity:”Severus, what is the answer you solved? Snape raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion:
“Why, you don’t know? Isn’t the answer obvious? The number six potion is the real one.”
Dumbledore was speechless for a moment and could only look at him quietly.
Seeing Dumbledore was silent, Snape showed a trace of confusion on his face,”Isn’t it right? Did I calculate it wrong? This is impossible… You must have made a mistake, Headmaster!”
Snape categorically denied his mistake. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Dumbledore remained silent. An inexplicable feeling suddenly welled up in his heart. Quirrell’s death seemed a little wronged.
Soon, Ye Ting was also called to the restricted area to clean up the mess at the checkpoint.
When Ye Ting learned that Professor Quirrell had lost his life in the restricted area and his body had mysteriously disappeared, Ye Ting’s first reaction was the same as Dumbledore’s. They both immediately confirmed that Voldemort was still studying abroad.
Otherwise, why would he occupy Quirrell’s tattered body?
Moreover, Ye Ting knew more than Dumbledore. Ye Ting knew very well where Voldemort was most likely to hide – that is, where Dumbledore had always wanted to find but couldn’t find it.
That’s right, it’s Slytherin’s Chamber of Secrets.
Think about it, even the youth version of Voldemort in the diary knows how to use the Chamber of Secrets. This old fox actually knows how to use the Chamber of Secrets. How could the body ignore such a place?
Therefore, in order to find out whether Voldemort really hid in the Chamber of Secrets, Ye Ting ran to the abandoned women’s bathroom alone early the next morning.
Pushing open the slightly old bathroom door, a dim and shabby room immediately came into view. Under the large mirror covered with stains and mottled, a row of stone pools stood quietly. The surface of the pool wall had peeled off and was covered with moss, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.
The floor was wet, and a few candle heads were swaying with weak flames on the brackets. The dim light they emitted made the floor gloomy and mysterious.
Ye Ting stood by the pool, carefully examining every corner. Suddenly, his eyes fixed on a brass faucet.
A lifelike little snake was engraved on the side of this faucet.
Here is the entrance to the legendary Slytherin Chamber of Secrets[]
However, Ye Ting did not intend to open it immediately. He knew very well that if he went down rashly, he might encounter unpredictable dangers, such as Voldemort or the basilisk in the chamber of secrets.
Now, he was not fully prepared.
Although Ye Ting did not intend to go deep into the chamber of secrets to confirm it himself, he had other ways – he planned to ask the”natives” here?
After all, someone was squatting in this bathroom almost all day.
He walked towards a toilet cubicle, and heard a small rustling sound, as if someone was stealing snacks, accompanied by the sound of running water.
Ye Ting knocked gently on the door of the cubicle, and the sound inside stopped abruptly. After a moment of silence, a weak female voice came:”It’s not convenient here! Go to another bathroom!”
Ye Ting increased the force of knocking on the door, and finally, a girl ghost floated out of the cubicle. The gray color of the ghost made her originally melancholy face look a little gloomy, and the long straight hair and thick pearl-colored glasses covered half of her face.
This is Myrtle.
But the moment she saw Ye Ting, her gloomy face immediately turned into a smile:”……Ye Ting… You are Ye Ting, right? Why are you here?”
Ye Ting pretended to be a curious little wizard and said in surprise:”I heard that there are always strange noises coming from this place. Everyone guessed that there might be an evil bird hiding here, so I came here excitedly to explore.” Myrtle said with a straight face:”Oh, so that’s the case. Then you should have discovered the truth now, right? In fact, the strange noise was not made by the evil bird, but by an ugly female ghost.”
“Oh, don’t listen to their nonsense, I don’t think you are ugly.”
Ye Ting learned the words of the girls in a red book in his previous life:”I think you are very good, but you are not in a good mood, and your glasses hinder your appearance. If you can smile, you should be very beautiful.”
It must be said that the words summed up by the girls after thousands of trials are really useful.
Or maybe Ye Ting’s own appearance makes his words more persuasive.
In short, as soon as these words came out, they had an immediate effect.
“Do you really think so?!”
Myrtle’s transparent eyes quickly became turbulent, and tears rolled down like beads that had broken off the string.
“They always bully me, especially that damn Peeves.……”Myrtle choked up and said,”I also have emotions. Although I am no longer in this world, my feelings still exist.”
Ye Ting took the opportunity to ask,”Besides ghosts, have other wizards come here to disturb you? For example, someone sneaked in and looked mysterious.……”
“Of course there is. Myrtle answered affirmatively
“”Who?” Ye Ting asked anxiously.
Myrtle widened her eyes, stared at Ye Ting, and said word by word:”You!”
“……”
Myrtle looked at his embarrassed look and couldn’t help but burst out laughing:”You are a boy, but you sneaked into the girls’ bathroom and are still concerned about my mood… I think you are the weirdest person.”
After saying that, she stared at Ye Ting’s handsome face, suddenly covered her face, and said shyly:”But, I… I like Nai Ting very much.”
