(I just finished the Mother¡¯s Day meal, burp, I¡¯m so full~ I wish all the mothers in the world a happy Mother¡¯s Day~)
Ever since he learned that Hagrid had obtained the dragon egg, Verne began to wait for the incident of Quirinas sucking the unicorn's blood, but he never waited. When he read the volume of "The Philosopher's Stone" in his previous life, he always thought that the interval was very short, but in fact, after he experienced the magical world in this life, he realized that hatching a dragon egg was not that easy.
Excluding all the various pre-requisites, it would take more than a month just to incubate the dragon eggs in a high temperature. This is also the main reason why in the original book, Harry discovered that Hagrid got the dragon egg ten weeks before the final exam, but was punished to enter the Forbidden Forest to perform labor service, but it was one week before the final exam.
However, the question arises, why did Voldemort have to wait until the end of the semester to actually steal the Philosopher's Stone despite knowing the way to break through it ten weeks ago?
If it is because the body is too weak and he is worried about lack of strength, the explanation is really far-fetched, because Voldemort hunted the unicorn and drank its blood two weeks before the final exam, which is far from being solved. Lu Wei Method was separated for nearly two months.
Why did Voldemort delay for so long? After all, anyone with a little bit of savvy could see that when it came to trying to steal Hagrid's information, every second he stayed at Hogwarts would increase his risk, so why not take action as soon as possible?
"It can't be said that it is to serve Rowling. Let's wait until the end of the semester to finish the ending of this episode" Verne smiled bitterly and put the letter in his hand into his pocket.
This letter was sent by Fox just now. The content is about describing the attack on the unicorn in the Forbidden Forest. There are signs of blood being sucked. He suspects that it was Voldemort, and he is worried about the current situation of Quirinas. This made Verne, who had no memory of the dragon egg incident or the timeline of the Forbidden Forest labor service incident, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. However, after he put down his high-spirited heart, he also had the above doubts.
Verne lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then finally shook his head, took out his wand, and cast the Patronus Charm. In an instant, a proud and vigorous silver raven appeared in the office, illuminating the surrounding area.
Verne said to the Patron Saint of Ravens: "Dumbledore, I need to visit Master Flamel. Please turn on the floo network in the Hogwarts fireplace." Then, he paused and then said: "Don't worry, don't feel guilty, maybe this is a good thing" After he finished speaking, he waved his hand suddenly, and the raven rushed out of the window and flew to the principal's office.
Verne understood the deeper reason why Dumbledore had just sent him the letter. The other party felt guilty for failing to prevent Quirinas from falling into such a desperate situation, and he also felt that he had no shame to tell Verne face to face. Bad news", so I had to put in a lot of effort to write a letter, otherwise the two of them were in Hogwarts and not far apart, so why bother asking for trouble.
Within about half a minute, Verne discovered that the fireplace that had been temporarily abandoned because the weather was getting hot suddenly burst into flames. He walked closer, grabbed the floo powder on the side, sprinkled it into the fireplace, and then stepped into the green flames that appeared. As he shouted the name of "Ram Villa", there was a burst of flames. arrived at the destination.
"Huh?" Nico was sitting by the fireplace, reading the "Daily Prophet." Lemei frowned, and after seeing clearly that it was Verne stepping out of the flames, he smiled and said, "Why are you free today?"
Verne took the brush from the cabinet, brushed the soot off his body, and sighed: "Oh, I have a question that I would like to ask my tutor to help answer"
"Oh?" Nico. Flamel closed the newspaper and looked at Verne with some curiosity, "What problem can't you and Dumbledore solve?" He didn't think that Verne would not tell this before he came to the Ram Villa. The problem was discussed with Dumbledore first.
"It's about the friend I mentioned to you before" Verne sat down on Nico. Opposite Flamel, he briefly told the story of Quirinas drinking the unicorn's blood, and finally asked: "So what I want to ask is, can the 'power' of the Sorcerer's Stone be able to cure him?" ?¡±
At this time, Nico. Flamel was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a long time, and then slowly nodded and said: "Even if people only have one breath left, the blood of unicorns can extend their lives, but those subsequent lives will be cursed forever. The pain is far away"
"What to do with this cursed life" Nico. Flamel sighed, "The magic stone's power, whether it is 'blessed' or 'cursed', can indeed restrain it"
Listen to Nico. Flamel claimed that the power of the Philosopher's Stone was cursed. Verne opened and closed his mouth several times, but no words came out.
"Don't look like that, kid, it's all going to end soonIt's over, you should be happy for me. Nicola Flamel smiled slightly, "Congratulations, Verne, your friend has a chance to be saved!" "
"Alas" Hearing this, Verne sighed, with a bit of relief and a bit of hidden sadness.
The two of them looked at each other in silence for an unknown amount of time. Suddenly, an owl hooted outside the window, attracting their attention. At this time, I saw a short-eared owl pecking at the window glass with its beak, an impatient look in its yellow eyes.
Verne came forward, opened the window, untied the letter from its leg, and put a silver coin into the small leather bag on its other leg. Upon seeing this, the short-eared owl let out a long cry of satisfaction, put away all its impatient expressions, and even pecked Verne's cheek to express its gratitude, before spreading its wings and flying away.
Verne glanced at the signature of the letter and handed it to Nico. Flamel. Nico. Flamel opened the letter, and not long after reading it, a surprised smile appeared on his face.
"A letter from Latham, saying that Gabriel is awake." Nico. Flamel stood up and said with a smile: "What a coincidence. Come on, come with me to St. Mungo's."
St. Mungo¡¯s, full name St. Mungo¡¯s-hospital-for-magical-maladies-and-injuries, is located in London. Bohan was founded around the seventeenth century. Those who work in it must undergo rigorous training to master extensive knowledge related to magical medicine and injuries, and participate in psychological-related courses every year to train therapists to face the Patience, empathy, and stress tolerance when working with patients.
But it is obvious that the effectiveness of this psychological course is not significant
When Verne and Nico. As soon as Flamel entered St. Mungo's, he saw a therapist angrily pushing and beating a patient. The patient's figure and appearance were ordinary, but now he was born with two horns. He kept making "moo" sounds and was biting the corner of the therapist's green robe, chewing hard.
"Go away, go away" The therapist wanted to kick the patient away, but the patient shook his head hard at the same moment, as if he wanted to tear off the green robe and swallow it. , but indirectly caused the therapist to almost fall over.
"Come and help me, Carl!" The healer asked his companion for help, because St. Mungo's has regulations that unless the caregiver wants to treat or is facing immediate danger of harm, magic cannot be used on the patient, which may cause harm. The therapist was in a desperate situation at this time.
"Heyjust wait until I finish registering." Another therapist held a quill and wrote furiously on the record board. He seemed very busy, but his eyes turned straight and did not look at the record board at all. At a glance, he just looked straight at the good show of his colleague, "Mead Minotaur, the magic misfired when using the 'Conversion Spell' on his own dairy cow, causing him to grow horns, and even mistakenly thought that he was also a cow. Cow. Am I right, Lady Minotaur?" he asked without looking back.
A strong woman standing next to Karl replied without turning her head: "Oh, you are right Yes, yes, I almost forgot to mention that my husband has four more children." He has only two nipples. I hope that when you cure him later, you will not remove the two extra nipples. Maybe this way my family can produce more milk"
"Okay, no problem, I will make a special note. According to the symptoms, Mr. Minotaur should be admitted to the 'Curse Injury Department', which is on the fifth floor." Karl said calmly, as if he was worried about the woman beside him. I wasn't surprised by the strange request.
"Karl, hurry up! This bastard is attracted to the most 'protruding' piece of grassah!"
Verne watched the farce in front of him with great interest. At the same time, he did not forget to glance at the long queue in front of the waiting room. He was about to queue up, but was stopped by Nico. Flamel grabbed his sleeve.
"Gabor is now transferred to the general ward on the first floor. The letter from Latham said, come with me."
The two of them walked towards the double doors next to the waiting room. They saw many strange symptoms along the way. Some people had a teacup bitten on their noses, wailing loudly in pain, others were shedding colorful tears, and even some people were crying. Some people exchanged positions with their hands and feet, walked upside down, and peeked at the scenery under the female therapist's robe from the corner of their eyes. All this opened Verne's eyes.
After passing through the double doors, a narrow corridor comes into view, with portraits and doors of famous therapists on both sides. Crystal bubbles containing candles float on the ceiling, shining with a radiant light. Along the way, therapists came and went from time to time at various doors, and faint whining sounds could be heard from time to time.
After pushing the door open, I saw a pale Gable, leaning on the pillow talking to Professor Wharton and a therapist with a hooked nose.
"It seems that a visitor has come to see you" The hook-nosed therapist put the record book under his arm and nodded slightly towards Verne, "Mr. Abt still needs to rest more and don't chat for too long. "
Nico. Flamel glanced at the therapist's nameplate, nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Therapist Cartel."
"It's nothing, this is my duty." Carter smiled, his upper lip almost touching his hooked nose. This point made Verne couldn't help but sigh. Finally, someone could compete with Professor Wharton on the "nose".
After the cartel left, Nico. Flamel walked slowly to the hospital bed, but before he could speak, Gabour apologized: "I'm sorry, Tutor Flamel, Latham told me everything that happened before. I didn't expect that I was almost injured." When it comes to you, you beat Ah Fu, destroyed the Gongyang Villa, and even tried to steal"
Before Gabor could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Nico. Le May waved his hand to block it, and saw him smile kindly and said: "I don't remember you hurting me. As for Ah Fu, I think you have to apologize to him in person later, and the damage to Ramey Villa When you get better, I will give you the bill together with your treatment expenses and hospitalization expenses during this period."
"Teacher Flamel" Gabour's eyes were red with emotion. He was a man who respected teachers very much. As soon as he woke up and heard what Professor Wharton said, he felt uneasy and guilty. Now, Finally he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, by the way" Gabor turned to look at Professor Wharton and said gratefully: "I forgot to thank you just now, Latham. You are busy teaching at Hogwarts and taking care of you at St. Mungo's. I'm really troubling you."
Professor Wharton chuckled, looked back and winked at Verne, and then said: "I am now the most laid-back of all the students of Master Flamel. If not for me, who else would be taking care of you?"
Looking at Gabor¡¯s astonished expression, Professor Wharton pointed to Verne and explained: ¡°The current Professor of Magic at Hogwarts is¡ Verne!¡±
"What?"
Professor Wharton continued: "Don't look at his youth, Verne is not only the Professor of Magic at Hogwarts, but also the winner of the Second Order of Merlin!"
"Oh, Merlinhow long have I been unconscious?" Gabor sighed, stroking his forehead, causing everyone to laugh in unison.
"It's only been ten months." Professor Wharton shrugged his big nose and joked: "You must have been unconscious for so long to realize that the world is changing very fast!"
"Professor Wharton" Looking at Professor Wharton's warning gaze, Verne smiled bitterly, and then changed his words: "Okay, Latham, don't joke with Gabour, I have a very urgent matter." I want to ask him questions."
Then, Verne cast an apologetic look at everyone present, and then asked: "Gabour, although I am sorry to ask you to recall the previous misfortune just after you have recovered, but this is really urgent ¡¡±
"Excuse me, do you know Quirinus Quirrell?"
"Quirinas Quirrell? Mr. Quirrell!" Gabriel's body shook, he suddenly stood up from the pillow, and said loudly: "Of course I know him, what happened to him? Is he okay now? You say Why is it so urgent?¡±
"He's pretty good, and he's currently staying at Hogwarts." Looking at Gable's concerned look, the last trace of doubt in Verne's heart finally dissipated, and his heart suddenly dropped.
Although he has always asked himself to trust his friends, the encounters in his previous life have made it difficult for Verne to completely trust others and not dare to give his full affection to anyone. In fact, even he himself is not very clear about this, or rather I don't want to know it clearly, I just feel it vaguely.
"Staying at Hogwarts? Why did Mr. Quirrell stay at Hogwarts?" Gable asked in surprise and confusion. It seemed that he didn't know Quirinas well.
At this time, an explanation came from outside the ward: "Because Quirinus is nowthe Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts." Under Gable's surprised gaze, Dumbledore slowly walked into the ward. , and placed a beautifully wrapped gift box on the bedside table, "So don't worry, Quirinas is doing well now. Oh, by the way"
"This is the 'Black Pepper Naughty Boy', a little bit of my thoughts. I think you need a little more excitement in life now that you have been lying down for so long, my old friend." Dumbledore said with a wink.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to come too. It seems that this matter is really serious." Gable, who has known Dumbledore for many years, was very disrespectful to him, "What happened before, has already made me want to live my next life in peace, so thank you for your kindness, Dumbledore. ¡± He glanced at the gift box with half-serious disgust.
From the interaction between the two, Verne discovered that Dumbledore and Gabriel seemed to be old friends. It seemed right, they both knew Nico. Flamel, who also attended the "Cairo International Alchemists Conference", must have known him for quite some time.
"What a pity" Dumbledore shook his head and sighed, but he put the gift box back under his arm slowly and quickly.
"It's probably because I didn't have time to buy a visiting gift, so I used my beloved collection to make up for it." Verne rolled his eyes in his heart, but still asked without changing his expression: "Dumbledore, why are you here? People" He stopped talking.
"It doesn't matter. I have asked Severus to hold him back. As long as you grasp the timing, there will be no problem."
Listening to the incoherent exchange between Verne and Dumbledore, Gable was puzzled and asked: "What on earth are you talking about?"
"Please tell me about your previous experience first. After all, time is tight." Although Dumbledore said it was harmless, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart. After all, that school was his lifelong love, even if he had other Even with the arrangements for back-up means, we still can¡¯t help but worry about safety issues.
Gabor frowned, but still didn't ask any more questions. He just said: "Mr. Quirrell and I met in a small restaurant outside Albania. At that time, there was a Muggle gangster who wanted to blackmail me because he thought I was old and easy to bully. Then I and Mr. Quirrell at the next table cast a very subtle little magic to scare away the Muggle."
After rubbing his temples, Gabr continued: "Then, I took the initiative to talk to him. After chatting for a while, I found out that he came to the Albanian jungle for a trial, so I took the initiative to invite him to come with me. After all, there It¡¯s not a safe place, and although Mr. Quirrell is pretty good, he looks like an academic wizard, and he doesn¡¯t seem to have traveled far, and he wants to break into the jungle without any preparation."
"I didn't expect that my momentary kindness saved myself" Gabr sighed with emotion, "On the third day after entering the jungle, I unexpectedly discovered a large area of ??'Sin Blood Grass'. I was delighted. Under this, I actually forgot what the sin blood grass feeds - without a large amount of blood to nourish them, how could such a lush group of sin blood grass grow."
"There is a famous proverb in ancient Britain: 'Greed blinds the eye.' That's what I was like at that time. I rushed towards the sin blood grass excitedly, but just as I was about to bend down to collect it, I was attacked and a transparent monster suddenly bit me. If it weren't for Mr. Quirrell, maybe I would have become disabled, no, maybe I would have died long ago" Gabor slowly lifted the sleeve of his right arm, revealing the upper arm. A row of eerie bite marks.
"Under Mr. Quirrell's 'appearance spell', we finally saw the appearance of the monster clearly. It is a subdragon-like creature that is nearly seven feet tall, with four legs, a pair of bat wings and long ears**, but In my opinion, it is much scarier than ordinary flying dragons, because it can turn invisible, especially in the jungle, it moves so fast that it is impossible to guard against it."
"Even though we won in the end, Mr. Quirrell was pierced in the chest by the dragon's horn in order to save me. Fortunately, I always carried dirtany with me and finally controlled his injuries. But just as I breathed a sigh of relief"
An inexplicable smile gradually appeared on Gabour's face, "When people get old, sometimes what they want is not to live a better life, nor to live longer, but to sleep peacefully every night." Have a good sleep!¡±
"I speculated that the black mist was some kind of corrupted soul that wanted to occupy Mr. Quirrell's body, so I set up a 'soul-suppressing circle' to stop it but I failed in the end and became the opponent. A controlled puppet" Even though he talked about his failure and the tragic consequences, Gabor did not show any signs of discouragement. Instead, he smiled very calmly, "I heard you just said that Mr. Quirrell is at Hogwarts. A professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, this"I feel relieved. Please apologize to him on my behalf because I failed to help him, and also thank him on my behalf because"
¡°He allowed me to defeat myself.¡±
Seeing Gable's peaceful but tired expression, Verne, Dumbledore and others did not tell each other about Quirinas' current situation, but chose to leave silently, promising that they would let Quirinas know if they had the opportunity in the future. A big vacation would give him time to visit Gabor, but that might have to wait until the end of the semester
It¡¯s also possible that you¡¯ll never be able to wait
Diablo 3 is coming out soon!
? ? **In Albanian mythology, the Albanian dragon has four legs and a pair of bat-like wings. It has a horn and a pair of big ears on its head. It has the ability to become invisible and usually appears in the forest. When the Ottoman Empire invaded Albania, it became the guardian of the highlanders.
