Hogwarts: Where are the Pokémon?

Chapter 124 Operation Guardian of the Philosopher's Stone, Start

Because me and Dumbledore won't allow it!
A simple sentence directly dispelled the fear in Malfoy's heart.For a moment, he actually forgot how terrifying his former master was.

What Voldemort, what Dark Lord?

After all, he is just a little bastard who is at the mercy of others.

Whether he can be resurrected is still in other people's plans, so what else does Malfoy have to worry about?
"I'm going to do it."

"Ah."

After sending Malfoy away, Xia Lin didn't continue to ask about this matter.

On the contrary, it was Quirrell who asked for several days of vacation in a row, which made Snape feel secretly refreshed.Because after Quirrell asked for leave, Dumbledore asked him to temporarily take the Defense Against the Dark Arts class for a few days.

Needless to say, as a teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Snape is much better than Quirrell.

It's not that Quirrell is incapable, it's just that he has focused on teaching from the beginning.However, Xia Lin felt that whoever had a human face on the back of his head might not be interested in teaching.

"I said, this is a bit strange." Hermione realized something was wrong, "We encountered a dark wizard in the Forbidden Forest, and Professor Quirrell asked for leave after we came back."

"You think Quirrell is the dark wizard?" Ron asked in surprise.

However, even so, Harry firmly believed that the dark wizard that night was Snape.

Because the black wizard didn't suffer any harm until he left, if he was really Quirrell, there was no need for him to ask for leave, especially at such a juncture.

Most importantly——

"Don't you really feel that V—"

"Please, Harry!" Ron looked at him beggingly.

"Well, You-Know-Who!" Harry changed his words angrily. "It may be rude of me to say that, but do you think You-Know-Who would enlist Quirrell as his assistant?"

He said disdainfully.

It's not that he has an opinion on Quirrell, it's that the opponent's strength is really a bit unsightly.

Ron nodded in agreement: "Indeed, he was almost brought down by Fred and George with two snowballs last Christmas. And he has no strength to deal with Pokémon at all.

"Remember? If it weren't for this incident, the principal wouldn't have added a school rule."

"Okay. What you said makes sense. But why did Professor Quirrell suddenly ask for leave?"

"You don't know?" Ron said in amazement, he thought every Gryffindor student knew the news, "I heard that Defense Against the Dark Arts is a course cursed by You-Know-Who. The teacher who teaches this course every year There’s going to be some misfortune.”

Urban legends like this are very popular among young wizards at Hogwarts.

"Everyone's been saying Professor Quirrell is cursed these days." Ron shook his head and sighed. "Poor him, isn't he? First a vampire, then a curse—"

"It's just a rumor Ron, if the curse is true. Then why didn't Dumbledore just cancel the class? Or change the name?" Hermione didn't quite believe it.

In fact, Dumbledore kept the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, on the one hand, because the intensity of the curse is not strong, as long as the time is controlled, there will be basically no major accidents; on the other hand, he also needs the existence of these classes, Help him determine if Voldemort is still alive.

But now with Xia Lin, there is no need to be so troublesome.

By next semester, this urban legend will become legend forever.

"Anyway, if the curse is real, I wish Snape bad luck." Harry said immediately, and at the same time he also expressed his guess, "As for Professor Quirrell, I guess he might have been killed by Snape." of.

"Snape wanted to get the Philosopher's Stone for the V-Mysterious Man. He must have coerced Quirrell and asked him to tell the secret of the level."

Harry was very determined.

"Speaking of checkpoints, I don't know if Hagrid brought the Sphinx over here."

Replacing the three-headed dog with the Sphinx was the plan that Harry and the others came up with after they learned that Hagrid had leaked the secret of the three-headed dog.

In fact, Harry had waited until the last moment to think of this, but Hagrid had said everything when he was happy because he was holding two dragon eggs.

"It seems to have been brought over. The professor heard that it has some weight in the Ministry of Magic." Ron said.

The latter news came from Slytherin.

Hermione didn't want to think about it anymore.

"I think the professors are going to take care of this and we should be ready to review by now, with final exams coming up soon."

"Right now?" Ron's eyes widened. "There are at least two months until the end of the term!"

But regardless of his subtitles, Hermione was already concentrating on reviewing now, and Harry didn't think about Snape every day. Quidditch and Pokémon distracted him a lot of energy.

He has now obtained all the badges. Since Snape was banned from going off in person by Professor Xia Lin, there have been many wizards in Gryffindor who have received badges.

However, Snape has gradually become familiar with Pokémon battles these days.

Poison-type Pokémon are very compatible with him.

"When do you say the Hogwarts Cup will be held? Before or after the final exam?"

"It must have been before, or did the seventh grade graduate soon?" Ron said as a matter of course.

"No! Definitely after the seventh grade advanced wizard exam!" Hermione retorted immediately, "Think about it, the professor can't distract the seventh grade students during the exam just to organize the competition."

"Seventh grade students have to prepare for the advanced wizard exam, and fifth grade students have to take the junior wizard exam. In other words, our biggest enemy is still the sixth grade." Ron said.

"I think we have a chance to win the championship, what do you think?"

The upper grades have the advantage of being older, their magic power is stronger, and they know more spells.But he and Harry also have their own advantages - the number of Pokémon.

The few of them have the most number of Pokémon, and the Pokémon have experienced a lot of battles. In terms of the level of Pokémon, they surpassed the sixth and seventh grade students.

Time just passed day by day.

After Quirrell took a week's vacation, he finally returned to Hogwarts.This disappointed both Harry and Snape.

Snape regretted that he had lost Defense Against the Dark Arts again, and Harry regretted that Snape hadn't suffered a little misfortune.

During this period of time, did Harry just take a look at the corridor on the fourth floor, and attended the meeting of the Pokémon Masters Club on time every Saturday.

Many people's Pokémon have evolved in battle, but most of them are Lada or Bug-type Pokémon.

When it comes to the magical phenomenon of Pokémon evolution, one cannot fail to mention the previous Pokémon master classes.

Xia Lin found out that it happened to be the period when Ba Dadie broke out of the cocoon recently, so he took all the students to visit. The scene of hundreds of armored chrysalis evolving together left a great shock to them.

Come May, it may seem like everything is running smoothly.

The only difference was that the scar on Harry's head started to hurt again during this time, which made him very irritable.

He'd talked to Ron and Hermione about it too, but over time they both got tired of it.Because Harry just complained, but refused to go to the school hospital to have a look.

But today, his symptoms appear to be worse than ever.

"hiss--"

"Harry, you should go to the school hospital." Hermione said sternly, "We are all worried about you."

"No!" he snapped back, "You don't understand Hermione, it's not sick! I think it's Snape trying to do something again! But no one will believe it!"

"Then how about going to Dumbledore or Professor Xia Lin?" Ron was also full of confusion. "The professor is always willing to believe us, and he always has magical abilities. Maybe he will have a way."

"All right--"

Facing the concern of his two friends, Harry still compromised.

"Then we'll go to the professor."

Between the headmaster and the professor, Harry chose Xia Lin who was closer.

However, when they arrived at Xia Lin's office, they were in vain.

The offices are unlocked, but Xia Lin is not there, only a very powerful fire-breathing dragon is resting in the office coiled up.They didn't even look at Harry as they walked in.

"Why is there no one? Is the professor teaching in another grade?"

"You, are you here to find the professor?"

Just when they were wondering, Neville suddenly walked out of the protected area.

"Neville, why are you here, Professor?" Hermione asked anxiously.

"I'm here to practice swordsmanship." He said a little lonely.

"Oh, we forgot your wand—"

In order to save Malfoy in the Forbidden Forest before, his wand was destroyed. Malfoy promised to accompany him with a new, better one, but he refused.

To Neville, that destroying the wand made more sense.

But after his grandma found out about this, instead of blaming him as usual, she was very happy.

Because courage is something Neville inherited from his parents, something more important than a wand.

"It's nothing, the professor said he would make a new one for me." Neville shook his head and asked, "Are you looking for the professor? He seems to have received a letter and left in a hurry."

"letter?"

The three little ones haven't realized what's wrong.

"Yes, the professor said he might not be back until tomorrow, and told me to lock the door when I leave." Neville nodded.

After the Forbidden Forest incident, he had a small magic riot, and it seemed that even his memory was much better than before.

"Okay, then we can only go to Principal Dumbledore." Hermione said helplessly.

The three of them hurried to the principal's office again.As a result, he happened to meet Professor McGonagall who came out of the principal's room.

"What are you three doing?"

Meg startled them.In fact, there is no lion cub who is not afraid of the head of his family-except Hermione.

"We want to see Professor Dumbledore."

"Want to see Professor Dumbledore?" Professor McGonagall repeated, as if they had such an idea is very suspicious, "Why?"

Harry didn't know what to say.He didn't want to talk about his scars with others. If Professor McGonagall knew about it, he would only be ordered to go to the school hospital.

So he was quick to think, and came up with an excuse that couldn't be worse:

"It's a secret."

As soon as the words came out, he immediately wanted to slap himself, because Professor McGonagall was angry, and her nose flapped.

"Professor Dumbledore left 10 minutes ago," she said coldly. "He received an urgent letter from the Ministry of Magic from the owl and flew to London immediately."

"He's gone? At this time?"

"Professor Dumbledore is a very remarkable wizard. He has a lot to do and time is precious-if you have anything to do, you can tell me first. When Dumbledore is not around, some things have always been handled by me."

"Er—nothing, Professor."

"Well, since this is the case, I suggest you go out for a walk and get more sunshine." After speaking, Mag left.

"What should I do?" Ron asked in a low voice. "Dumbledore is not here, and Professor Charlene is not here. Maybe you should really tell Professor McGonagall about the scar. Or, how about Sirius? You write to tell he."

"But by the time the letter was sent and returned, it would have been several days." Hermione said, supporting her head.

Harry didn't speak, he was thinking about something.

"That's not right."

"what?"

"I mean, don't you think it's a coincidence?"

"First, my headache was worse than before, and then the professor left, and Dumbledore also received a letter and left urgently, as if someone didn't want them to stay in the school and wanted to send them away."

The appearance of Snape, who was greasy and smirking, immediately appeared in the minds of the three people.

"Just tonight, Snape will be going through the trapdoor tonight. He's got everything he needs, and now he's tricked Dumbledore and Professor Charlene out of the school."

"But how could he pass the Sphinx?"

"Hermione, he doesn't know we replaced the three-headed dog with a sphinx. This is our chance, but who knows, what if he gets the sphinx right? "

"But what can we have—"

Hermione took a sharp breath.Harry and Ron turned around.

Snape stood there.

"Good afternoon." He said smoothly.

"You shouldn't be indoors in this weather," he said, twisting his muscles into an odd grin.

"We were just—"

"You need to be careful, wandering around like this, people will think you are trying to do something bad." Snape sneered. To fire you myself. Have fun."

Snape threw down such a taunt, and left triumphantly.

Looking at his back, Harry said with hatred: "He forbids me to go out at night! Because he doesn't want me to hinder him!"

Both Hermione and Ron were a little overwhelmed. At times like this, Harry was always the most decisive and resolute.

"I must grab the Philosopher's Stone before him!"

He said seriously, but he planned to act alone.

"What are you talking about, it's us!" Hermione said seriously.

"That's right, we can't let you act alone." Ron also nodded vigorously!
