Professor Rupert Hogwarts

Chapter 33 Harry's Discovery

"Have you figured out how to subdue Hagrid's monster?" Seeing Quirrell mumbling and not knowing what he was talking about, Snape interrupted him directly.

"B-but-Severus, I-" Quirrell's pale face seemed to become even paler.

"You don't want to be my enemy, Quirrell." Snape had a gloomy look on his face, as if he would go up and beat him up at any time.

"I-I-don't know-" Harry saw clearly that Quirrell was slowly backing away under Snape's pressure.

"You know exactly what I mean." Snape interrupted Quirrell again, and then threatened: "I'll be waiting for your secret little trick!"

"But - I - I don't -"

"Then, after a while, when you have time to think about who you are loyal to, we will talk again." Snape waved his hand, and turned around quickly with a cold face.Then he covered his head with his cloak and strode out of the Forbidden Forest.

At this moment, an owl hooted, almost frightening Harry to fall from the tree.After he stabilized himself, he looked down and could only see Quirrell standing there alone, like a sculpture.

Then, Harry got on his broomstick and flew back secretly.

After delivering the broomstick to the broom shed, Harry quickly ran to the Gryffindor common room on the eighth floor, only to see Ron and Hermione still talking excitedly.

"Harry, where have you been?" Hermione asked sharply, with a hint of displeasure in her tone.

"We won! You won! We won too!" Ron didn't think too much. He came up and patted Harry on the shoulder hard, and then continued to shout loudly, "Hahahaha, I put Malfoy's eyes in He was beaten green, and Neville also beat Crabbe and Goyle alone. He is still unconscious, but Madam Pomfrey said he is fine."

Harry showed a dull expression. Obviously, when he was focusing on catching the Snitch on the Quidditch pitch, he didn't know that Ron and Neville had conflicts with Malfoy and the others.

"Don't be like this, let's talk about how you taught Slytherin. Everyone is waiting for you. We are having a celebration, and Fred and George even stole some cakes from the kitchen!" Harry said. It seemed that Ron didn't see anyone else and just pulled Harry over.

"Don't worry about it for now. Find an empty house. I have something to tell you!" After Harry came back to his senses, he seemed to have thought of something, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

Later, the three of them found an empty house. Especially after Harry confirmed that Peeves had not come to cause trouble, he told the two of them his previous experience of following Snape.

"So, our analysis is correct. The thing Lu Wei is guarding is the Philosopher's Stone, and Snape wants to get the Philosopher's Stone by threatening Quirrell. You see, he asked Quirrell if he knew how to subdue Lu Wei. , obviously trying to enter the trap door below through Lu Wei!

Moreover, Snape also mentioned Quirrell's secret trick, which is likely to be another mechanism for guarding the Philosopher's Stone.Maybe there is a lot of magic and witchcraft, and Quirrell has put some anti-black magic spells in it.Snape needs to disable it to get the Philosopher's Stone! "

"In other words, if Quirrell can't resist Snape, the Philosopher's Stone will be unsafe?" Hermione said with a trace of panic in her tone, obviously thinking that Quirrell would be hard-pressed to stop Snape.

"If that's the case, the Philosopher's Stone will disappear soon." Ron nodded in agreement, obviously not thinking that Quirrell could keep the Philosopher's Stone.

"Should we tell Eisen what happened?" Hermione said suddenly, with an inexplicable look in her eyes.

"But he's just a professor of astronomy, will he be Snape's opponent?" Ron pouted beside him, feeling that Hermione's proposal was really superfluous.

"But, don't you think Eisen's magic is very powerful?" Hermione's face bulged, as if she was defending Eisen's injustice.There is no way, why would a handsome guy like Aisen show off his skills in front of everyone from time to time.

"Okay, you're right, we can tell Eisen about it!" Harry and Ron looked at each other, as if thinking of the level of magic displayed by Eisen, so they nodded and agreed to the proposal.

The next day, after the three had breakfast early in the auditorium, they came to Aisen's office together.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Looking at the trio in front of him, Aisen showed a confused look.That's right, Aisen's main focus is still on practicing spells and learning alchemy, and he doesn't care much about the progress of the plot.

"Professor Eisen, do you remember the last time we were looking for Nico Flamel?" At Harry and Ron's signal, Hermione finally opened the topic.

"Yes, you think Snape wants to steal something, belonging to Dumbledore and Nico Flamel. How about it? Did you find anything?" After a moment of thought, Eisen showed a look of surprise. , and then asked along the topic.

To be honest, it's quite difficult to pretend like you don't know anything.Because he wanted to separate the plot he knew from the situation the trio told him, and they couldn't mix it up.

"Yes, Professor Eisen, we found that what Snape was going to steal was the Sorcerer's Stone!" Hermione said the result of the inquiry, and Harry and Ron beside him nodded emphatically.

"Philosopher's stone? A magic stone that can turn stone into gold and make people immortal?" A look of surprise appeared on Aisen's face at the right moment.

"Yes, if Lu Wei is guarding the Sorcerer's Stone, it wouldn't be surprising if Snape wants to steal it!" Ron on the side couldn't help but interjected.It seemed to give Snape a valid reason why he wanted to steal the Sorcerer's Stone.

"But, didn't you say that Snape was bitten by Lu Wei during the troll riot last time? How could he steal it?" Eisen had a headache.To be honest, the reasoning ability of these three people is simply terrifying, and Eisen even thinks that they are comparable to Sherlock Holmes.

"Harry saw Snape secretly going to the Forbidden Forest after the game yesterday..." Hermione continued, but when she mentioned the Forbidden Forest, she saw Eisen's brows frowning and she sped up. Speaking quickly, he quickly told what Harry had discovered.

"That is to say, Harry heard Snape asking Quirrell how to subdue Fluffy?" Eisen wanted to blame Harry for going to the dangerous Forbidden Forest, but the current development of the plot made him ignore it. Got this.

"Yes, if Snape knows how to subdue Lu Wei, he will successfully steal the Sorcerer's Stone!" Harry couldn't wait to conclude.Obviously, as the young wizard who hated Snape the most, Harry never wanted Snape to succeed.

"I just hope Quirrell will not succumb to Snape." Ron shrugged and said softly.Obviously, even he felt that it was unreliable to place hope on this.

"I see. Then, what do you want me to do by telling me this? Are you going to shoot Snape directly? But you have to know that all of this is just speculation right now, and there is no direct evidence!" Eisen clicked He nodded and then asked a very crucial question.

Yes, all of this is just speculation by Harry and others, a conjecture made by combining some specious and unfavorable clues pointing to Snape, rather than intuitive evidence.

Even if Aisen really agrees with the three people, he can't take action directly.What's more, he knew that Snape was not the one who planned to steal the Philosopher's Stone, but was the one who stopped Quirrell from stealing the Philosopher's Stone.
