Hogwarts Collector, I cast a spell with the Eye of God - Chapter 126
The two men and the ghost walked along the dim corridor and soon entered the key room.
Inside the room, the keys were flying in the air like a flock of birds, and there were two broken brooms on the ground.
“It seems that we need to use a broom to catch the key to open the door here.”Ron said thoughtfully.
“I’m good at this. Flying is my specialty.”Harry volunteered to ride on the broom, and in less than ten minutes he easily found the silver key.
Quirrell was in tears, and he wanted to bite his teeth to pieces – if he was still alive.
This is too unfair!
When it was his turn, these keys were covered with copying spells and various elements, but why was there nothing when it was Harry’s turn?
Ron pushed open the door, and the three of them entered the second room.
The room was pitch black, and you couldn’t see your hand in front of you.
However, just as they stepped into the room, the house suddenly lit up, showing a jaw-dropping scene.
The whole room turned out to be a huge wizard chessboard! The clockwork-driven chess pieces stood on the chessboard vividly, ready to start a fierce chess game at any time.
They realized that if they wanted to get to the next room, they had to use themselves as chess pieces and win in this magical chess game.
Ron took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of playing chess, and he was not afraid even if the price was that he was”eaten” by the chess pieces.
In the end, he successfully helped Harry step into the room at the end of the chessboard.
“Ron! Are you okay?”Harry stood at the door, his eyes fixed on Ron lying unconscious on the chessboard, feeling extremely painful and anxious.
“Don’t worry, Potter, he just fainted, and his life is not in danger.”Quirrell’s ghost comforted him.
However, at this moment, his heart was full of resentment and resentment.
Why was it so difficult when he played chess?
Why did the IQ of the white chess pieces seem to be instantly reduced to zero when this silly boy played chess?
If the white chess pieces he encountered at the beginning were also of this intelligence, he would not have to risk the siege of thirty-two chess pieces to force the door open.
Under Quirrell’s persuasion, Harry had to continue moving forward with his concern for Ron.
They entered a new room with simple furnishings and only a table with six identical bottles neatly placed on the table.
As soon as the two entered the room, two flames suddenly rose, blocking the front and back doors tightly.
Harry grabbed the parchment roll next to the bottle, unfolded it and read it carefully.
However, when he read halfway, he began to frown, scratched his head unconsciously, and muttered with difficulty:
“This logic reasoning question is really a headache. I can’t understand it at all, let alone deduce the answer… Professor Quirrell, can you help me?”
Quirrell showed a bitter smile and shook his head helplessly,”To be honest… this logic reasoning question… I have a headache too. But if you ask me… the fifth or… the sixth bottle, maybe it’s what we are looking for.”
When he said this, he felt mixed emotions.
These were the answers he got with his life.
Last time, when he passed this level, he had clearly used the exhaustive method to test that the fifth bottle contained the antidote.
But who knew that after drinking it, the antidote that should have been in the bottle turned into a deadly poison, killing him instantly.
Therefore, now he dare not easily assert which one is the real antidote.
After listening to Quirrell’s words, Harry thought about it, picked up the fifth bottle directly, took a deep breath, and drank the potion in the bottle in one breath.
Quirrell stared at Harry nervously, fearing that another tragedy would happen.
As a result, he was fine..
Seeing this scene, Quirrell’s ghost almost shed tears.
Sure enough, the fifth bottle was the correct choice.
He couldn’t help but curse Snape in his heart. That guy must have made a mistake before. The bottle that should have been the antidote was poisoned, which made him drink the poisoned wine by mistake when he got the correct answer and died.
After discovering that his”antidote” was poisonous, Snape realized that he was wrong, so he adjusted the answer overnight.
But what can he do?
His life can no longer be saved.
Thinking of this, Quirrell couldn’t help but want to shout:
Why is all this happening!
Baby Snape, don’t use questions that you can’t even answer as secret codes – it’s a waste of your life!
Quirrell was furious when he thought that he had lost his life because of Snape’s mistake.
If it weren’t for Snape’s self-righteousness, he wouldn’t have ended up in this situation – selling his body to Voldemort, becoming a ghost and working for him. What was even more difficult for him to accept was that he had spent his life exploring the way for Harry Potter.
What a huge irony!
Thinking of this, Quirrell secretly glanced back.
Sure enough, the master’s judgment was accurate.
These levels set by Dumbledore , which was simply designed to target him.
However, when Harry Potter took over the level, the difficulty was instantly reduced, as if all obstacles made way for him.
Instead of trying again, they chose to use Harry, which was a good move.
Under Harry’s leadership, they passed the level whose difficulty was reduced by who knows how many times, and easily reached the door of the final level, and the chance of resurrection he had dreamed of was within reach.
He followed Harry, stepped into the swaying black flames, and then successfully came to the other side and entered the last room.
However, it was empty here, without a single person.
“”Hey, where’s Professor Snape?” Harry looked around, confused.
At this moment, a sinister laugh came from behind them.
Snape had followed them silently and entered the room after them.
The moment he saw Snape, Harry’s heartbeat accelerated, and his heart was filled with excitement – his previous guess was correct, Snape was indeed stealing the Philosopher’s Stone in secret!
But why didn’t Professor McGonagall and Ye Ting believe him?
Why couldn’t they use their keen intuition to see the truth like him?
However, a bigger question came to his mind:
Why did Snape follow them?
Snape seemed to see his doubts, and explained with a sneer:”Hehehe, Harry, I have to thank you very much. It was you who helped me solve the levels along the way, allowing me to reach this last level so smoothly.”
“You mean… I helped you solve the level?” Harry asked in astonishment,”and you have been hiding behind us?”
“That’s right!”
Snape laughed even more arrogantly,”From the beginning, I used the [Disillusionment Charm] to hide behind you. To be honest, you really helped me a lot and saved me a lot of trouble… and now, I finally found this dream place.”
“”Snape, your ugly act of stealing the Philosopher’s Stone has been exposed! Don’t be stubborn anymore, there are Aurors everywhere, you can’t escape!” Harry shouted loudly, trying to intimidate the other party.
“Auror……”A flash of panic flashed across Snape’s face, but he quickly concealed it.
Harry was secretly proud of himself. Usually, Snape always looked at him with disdain and disgust, as if he was looking at an idiot.
Now, the professor finally showed a look of panic, which made him feel unprecedented satisfaction.
He seemed to have seen the scene of Snape being sent to Azkaban, and Harry felt more and more comfortable.
Is there anything more satisfying than sending a teacher you hate to prison with your own hands?
However, just when Harry thought he had won, Snape suddenly roared with a ferocious face:”Harry, do you think you won? I just need to get rid of you and get the Philosopher’s Stone, and I can leave here easily. Dumbledore is not here, and those Aurors are not my opponents at all!”
After that, Snape raised his wand and was about to attack Harry. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
At this critical moment, Quirrell, who had been observing silently on the side, suddenly rushed out and rushed straight to Snape, while reminding Harry loudly:
“Use magic, Harry!”
The ghost Quirrell pierced Snape’s chest, and his cold body took away a lot of heat, causing Snape to tremble all over and stop moving.
Then, he became angry and said,”Get out of my way, you damn ghost!”
Snape waved his wand and shot a red light at Quirrell.
However, the light went straight through Quirrell’s ghost without causing any harm.
Ordinary magic cannot hurt ghosts.
Taking advantage of the gap between Quirrell and Snape, Harry finally came to his senses.
He quickly raised his wand and chanted a spell at Snape:
“Wingardium Leviosa!”
In the room, an ancient candlestick floated up out of thin air and hit Snape like a meteor.
Snape obviously did not expect Harry to have such courage and strength to attack the professor. He was hit hard by the candlestick and fell on his back as if hit by a huge hammer. The wand in his hand flew out of his hand and slid to the floor.
Harry seized this fleeting opportunity, rushed forward, and kicked the wand further away.
Then, he punched Snape in the face and kicked him twice.
“You treacherous bastard!”[]
Harry roared, every word filled with anger,”You actually aided the evil and helped the You-Know-Who to steal the Philosopher’s Stone! What’s the difference between a despicable person like you and those beasts!”
“Ha… Harry… come on… let’s tie him up first.……”Quirrell stammered as he suggested, and as he watched Harry’s actions, a hint of…heartache flashed across his eyes.
Harry followed Quirrell’s advice, and quickly stood up and tied Snape’s hands tightly with Snape’s robes.
Just as Harry was about to leave with the captive, Quirrell’s ghost reminded him in time:
“Harry, let’s find the Philosopher’s Stone first to prevent it from being stolen again.……”
Harry thought it made sense, but he still had some concerns:”What about him?”
“Don’t worry, I will help you keep an eye on him.”Quirrel promised solemnly,”If he makes any movement, such as waking up or trying to escape, I will tell you immediately.”
Recalling the scene where Quirrell fought Snape desperately before, Harry felt a sense of trust in his heart, and he nodded.
Leaving Snape in the corner of the room, Harry began to search for the traces of the Philosopher’s Stone.
However, he searched the whole room, but didn’t even see the shadow of the Philosopher’s Stone.
In anxiety, Harry’s eyes suddenly fell on the ancient large mirror in the room.
He recalled that Professor Dumbledore once told him that this was the Mirror of Erised, a magical mirror that could reflect the deepest desires of the human heart.
He even experienced it himself.
An inspiration flashed through his mind like lightning, and Harry seemed to have caught something. He said to himself excitedly:”If I silently say to find the Philosopher’s Stone in my heart, and then stare at this magic mirror, can I see the scene of myself finding the Philosopher’s Stone? In that way, I will know where the Philosopher’s Stone is hidden!”
Before he finished speaking, Harry couldn’t wait to walk to the magic mirror.
He took a deep breath and stared at the deep world in the mirror.
Gradually, a strange picture emerged in the mirror: he saw himself reaching into his pocket and actually took out a dark red stone.
At this moment, the person in the mirror suddenly let go, and the stone fell into the pocket of the person in the mirror.
Then, Harry was surprised to feel that there was suddenly something extra in his pocket, and it was heavy.
Could it be… the legendary Philosopher’s Stone!
He couldn’t wait to reach into his pocket, and then, an expression of surprise that was difficult to conceal appeared on his face.
“”Professor Quirrell, I found it! I found the Philosopher’s Stone!” Harry waved the stone in his hand excitedly.
Quirrell widened his eyes and stared at the gem in Harry’s hand in disbelief.
He swallowed, his voice trembling slightly with excitement:”Congratulations, Harry… This is really a miracle.”
“Yes, it is indeed a great event worthy of congratulations.”A cold voice suddenly sounded, breaking the joyful atmosphere.
Harry turned around abruptly and found that the source of the voice was Snape.
At some point, the professor had woken up and even broke free from his restraints. He held the wand that was knocked away in his hand, and there was a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.
And the ghost of Quirrell, who had just vowed to watch over Snape, was now floating behind Snape like a loyal servant.
Harry’s heart suddenly rose to his throat, and the nerves that had just relaxed tensed up again. The muscles all over his body tensed up, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
“”Give me the Philosopher’s Stone, quickly, Harry.” Snape urged in an unquestionable tone,”I’m a professor, you should listen to me.”
Harry ignored him and looked at Quirrell’s ghost in disbelief,”You… are actually in the same group?”
“”Hahaha,”
Snape laughed triumphantly,”Yes, we have been allies from the beginning, but unfortunately… you only saw it now.”
Quirrell beside him also revealed his true face. He stared at Harry with a look full of mockery and pride:”Harry Potter, you helped me a lot this time, I have to thank you very much!”
Quirrell’s ghost suddenly became eloquent, no longer timid and stuttering, and looked very energetic.
