Hogwarts: Where are the Pokémon?

Chapter 131 The Sorcerer's Stone

Quirrell was dead, but the semester wasn't over yet, and Defense Against the Dark Arts was once again in Snape's hands.

It dispelled Harry's fleeting sense of guilt for having misunderstood Snape.

"Now Snape has paid off my dad for saving his life, so he can completely hate me," Harry complained to Hermione and Ron.

After waking up in the school hospital, he asked Dumbledore some questions.

Dumbledore told him half-truths and half-truths out of context about the things between his parents and Snape.

After that night, the learning atmosphere in the school became much stronger. The fifth and seventh graders were busy preparing for the wizard exams, and everyone was devastated, wishing they could review every second.So much so that the fifth and sixth grades were no longer seen in the Saturday club assembly during this period.

The other grades were not so easy. The professors maliciously created a scary atmosphere for the final exams, so as to make these little hippie-faced wizards nervous one by one.

Among them, Hermione was the most, she huddled in the library all day.

Xia Lin has basically let go of the courses in the upper grades, and all the Pokémon master classes for students above the fourth grade are for their review.

Even so, he's been busy lately.

What he is busy with is not the class, but the Pokémon Hogwarts Cup to be held this semester.

"How many schools are planning to come to visit now?" Dumbledore asked while eating the blue orange smoothie.

"Only four." Xia Lin picked up the reply letters from those schools, "France's Beauxbatons, Nordic Durmstrang, Japan's Magic Institute, and Brazil's Castro Buscher, and this one is still heard from Sneakers. Pu invented several special potions before planning to come here."

The other magic schools didn't respond at all.

"It seems that your appeal is still slightly insufficient." Dumbledore said proudly, "It would be different if it were me, I am the president of the International Federation of Wizards."

"Really, but I wrote to invite them in your name." Xia Lin tilted her head and said innocently.

Dumbledore:  …

"Ahem——" he coughed dryly twice, and pretended to open his mouth, "I think it is an unprecedented event to have four schools respond. Adding Hogwarts, it is five schools. You know, hundreds of years ago There are only three schools in the Triwizard Tournament."

This is completely changing the concept. Participating in a game is not the same as watching a game.

"Mr. Crouch must have been very busy recently."

"It's okay, there aren't many people here after all." Xia Lin shook her head. It's not the Quidditch World Tournament where 10 people gather. What is there to be busy about?
But if those wizards come to Hogwarts to watch the Pokémon Contest and want to introduce some Pokémon, then Crouch will be busy.

"Okay, what's the matter with you?" Xia Lin squinted at him, "Usually you won't stay with me for too long."

"This is not to thank you for drawing Fudge and saving me from countless files. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so leisurely." Dumbledore joked.

"However, I do have a problem and don't know how to deal with it." He said, groping for a red stone from his clothes.

Xia Lin was no stranger to this stone.

"The Philosopher's Stone? I thought you destroyed it."

"If it weren't for you, maybe I would really do it." He said with a smile, "But if I leave it to you, I don't think it will fall into Voldemort's hands."

Dumbledore had no intention of giving it back to Nicol, as the Nicols were ready for a death-defying adventure.

If there is no Xia Lin, then he cannot guarantee that the Sorcerer's Stone will not fall into Voldemort's hands, and he may only be able to destroy it, but now, it would be a pity to destroy it.

Xia Lin reached out to take the Philosopher's Stone.

This Philosopher's Stone can be said to be the Miracle Stone in the field of alchemy. Its existence has completed two of the three ultimate goals in the field of alchemy - touch stone to gold and immortality.

In fact, if Voldemort succeeds in the end, then he may use the Sorcerer's Stone to complete the third ultimate goal in the field of alchemy-creating life!
And the body created by the Philosopher's Stone is probably more perfect than Voldemort's own resurrected body.Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the risk and attempted to be resurrected in this way.

But this stone is not very attractive to Xia Lin.

Turning stone into gold is a bit useful, but he does not lack Gallon; Changsheng, who can't stop aging, is more tasteless.

In contrast, Xia Lin hopes to gain the power of the legendary Pokémon.

Most of the legendary Pokémon have an infinite lifespan. Isn't this much easier to use than the Philosopher's Stone?

But since Dumbledore gave it, Xia Lin naturally had no reason to refuse.The only Philosopher's Stone in the world, no matter how you say it, it still has a collection value.

"How's Tom doing?"

Xia Lin was referring to Tom Riddle in the diary.

"It's pretty safe, we have reached a cooperation, he taught me to use magic spells, and I'm going to make him a wand." Dumbledore said.

Make a wand for Riddle?
"He doesn't have a body, even if he has a magic wand, he can't use it?" Xia Lin asked strangely.

In the original book, Tom was able to pick up Harry's wand because he absorbed Ginny's life force, but now, he can't absorb Dumbledore's life force.

"He asked me to take an innocent life to bring him back to life, and I have been procrastinating." Dumbledore said shaking his head.

Riddle obviously really thought he was the evil version of Dumbledore, and he could even make such a request.But it was impossible for Dumbledore to satisfy his request.

Not to mention innocent lives, even Dumbledore, the sinful Death Eater in Azkaban, would not be able to murder them.

It's not that he is merciful, he killed quite a few people during the Wizarding Wars.

But war was one thing, and now it's another.

"It's impossible for us to really resurrect him anyway." Xia Lin shook his head and said.

The Riddle in Doudou's diary is just Xia Lin's whim, and it is impossible to really put a lot of time and experience on it.

"If you find it boring, you can destroy it, or use it to test your savior."

"My savior?" Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, as if he had found an interesting topic, "Harry was not chosen by me, he was the destined enemy chosen by Tom himself.

"It's you, you chose Neville to be your heir?"

As someone who knew the prophecy back then, Dumbledore naturally knew that Neville was another child of the prophecy.It's just that among the two sons of prophecy, Voldemort chose Harry.

"Not really, I just think he is quite suitable to be a sword master."
