After dealing with the troll, Harry and Hermione slumped to the ground in perfect sync, panting heavily.
"Thanks to Snape for talking about trolls in Defense Against the Dark Arts class"
Originally, Hermione just sighed casually, but suddenly caught the flash of inspiration before.
"Wait! Why did he give us a lesson on trolls?"
Hermione rubbed her hair frantically, making the already messy long hair even more unkempt. She faintly sensed that something was wrong, but she was missing a few key pieces of information and she couldn't connect all the clues together.
"So, what exactly are you suspecting?"
Having recovered a little, Harry got up from the ground and asked a little impatiently.
Since entering the trapdoor, Hermione has been saying some weird words, and no matter how dull Harry is, he can roughly understand her meaning-these levels have problems, and it is probably not the place where the Philosopher's Stone is really kept .
Don't they look like fools who rushed to break through the level in a hurry, and made them look ashamed?
After all, Harry was only an eleven-year-old kid, and he was still named Gryffindor. It was at the time when he had a strong desire to express himself, and when he was suddenly thrown cold water like this by Hermione, he was actually a little bit dissatisfied in his heart.
Now Hermione said something like this to defend Snape
So Harry's dissatisfaction burst out all of a sudden.
"Ron has been knocked out! We almost died under the big wooden club of this troll just now! Do you still think that all this is a game played by Dumbledore to deceive Snape?!"
Harry swung his arms wildly. In fact, he didn't even know why he did it. He just thought it would make him vent his dissatisfaction more happily.
And Hermione seemed to be startled by Harry's sudden roar, she stared at the angry Harry blankly, her mind went blank.
Because of being too surprised, Hermione couldn't even arouse the anger caused by being misunderstood. She just stared at her eyes and opened her mouth slightly, watching Harry continue to roar there without saying a word.
"Also! What did you mean by that sentence just now?! At this time, do you still want to say that Snape is a good person? It's not him who wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone. Could it be the missing Professor Quirrell?!"
Harry, who was constantly angry, didn't know that his casual assumptions were basically correct, which made it very difficult for the professors who were watching the play to hold back their laughter.
And Ron let out a long sigh and covered his eyes.
Only Fish was a little puzzled, he tugged at Professor McGonagall's sleeve, "Minerva, why is Scarhead so angry?"?w?
"Well Potter, there is a slight misunderstanding between him and Hermione"
Professor McGonagall explained as tactfully as possible, and Snape next to him sneered disdainfully.
Just when Fish was confused and confused about the situation, Harry continued to vent his dissatisfaction.
"I'll tell you! Why is Snape giving us troll lessons! He's showing off! Showing off that he's dealt with Quirrell! Got it?! Miss Know-it-All!"
The word "Miss Know-It-All" made Hermione who was stupefied gradually come back to her senses, and her eyes on Harry began to become dangerous.
Harry, who knew nothing about this, continued to growl: "Didn't you tell me that he stole the Philosopher's Stone to revive Voldemort? Didn't you burn Snape's robes and free me from his curse?" Saved come?"
Harry, who was roaring furiously, remembered at this time that Hermione had saved his life, and even when the troll was dealt with just now, Hermione was the main creditor.
Having regained his sanity, Harry quickly regained his composure, and hastily bowed his head to apologize.
"Hug, sorryHermione, I, I didn't mean that"
He repeatedly explained to Hermione: "I just just think you think too much. At this time, we should hurry up and get the Philosopher's Stone, instead of guessing wildly on such uncertain things."
""
Because Harry apologized too quickly, Hermione, who was about to get angry, suffocated her anger when she finally recovered from her sluggishness.
This kind of emotional disconnection is particularly uncomfortable, so her tone is not so polite.
"You finally remember that I saved your life."
After Hermione stabbed Harry a little,??I think the matter of the Sorcerer's Stone is more important.
"I'm just guessing whether Snape deliberately asked us to come first and snatch it from us after we got the Philosopher's Stone. After all, compared with the magic traps of the professors, it is obvious that we A few little wizards are easier to deal with."
But soon she shook her head again, denying her own thoughts, "No, he doesn't need to do anything extra, he will break through the level by himself, the speed must be much faster than ours Maybe you are right, Snape may just be To show off, or he deliberately lured you to die? But then, it doesn't make sense for him to teach us how to deal with trolls with all his heart"
Hermione's mind hit a dead end again, and she tugged at her hair irritably.
"Don't think so much," Harry interrupted Hermione's entanglement, "In short, let's move on, if it's really like what you said, this place is just a cover, and it's just a waste of our energy , if there really is a Sorcerer's Stone in it, then we'll take it away, and then it won't make sense whatever Snape is planning."
"Right."
Hermione shook her head, put her confused thoughts aside, and walked to the next room with Harry.
As soon as the two stepped into the new room, a purple flame rose from the entrance behind them, sealing off the escape route, and a black flame also rose in front of the door leading to the next level.
In the very center of the room, there is a table with seven bottles of different shapes placed side by side.
"Snape's magic."
Seeing this scene, even if he didn't need to eliminate it, he knew it was made by Snape, the Potions professor.
The two came to the table cautiously, and found a roll of parchment next to the bottle. They opened the parchment, and saw a string of words written on it.
Harry and Hermione stood together, reading the contents carefully, but what neither of them noticed was that when they were reading the parchment, the purple flame behind them shook strangely a few times.
"what is this?"
After reading the contents on the parchment, Harry suddenly felt his head swell. The string of words and poems were not like poems, and the stories were not like stories, which made him feel dazed.
Anyway, Harry couldn't figure out what it meant about killers, giants, and dwarfs.
However, Hermione's face showed a smile of victory.
"Wonderful," she explained to Harry, "it's not magic, it's logic, it's a riddle. Many of the greatest wizards don't have the slightest bit of logic, and they're stuck here forever."
Then, under Harry's amazed eyes, she solved Snape's riddle in less than a minute.
"The smallest bottle can pass through the black flames, and the round bottle on the far right allows us to go back."
Harry picked up the smallest bottle and looked at it, "It's only enough for one person."
The two looked at each other, Harry clenched the bottle in his hand, and said, "You can go back after drinking that bottle, take Ron with you, and use the broomstick in the first room to go back, and remember to put on your invisibility when you go back." clothes, so as not to bump into Snape."
He raised his hand to stop Hermione who was about to speak, "Listen to me, I was the one who insisted on looking for the Philosopher's Stone, so I can't let you take risks for me in this last level."
When it came to the critical moment, Harry was still very responsible, and he explained to Hermione solemnly.
"I don't know if I can get the Philosopher's Stone successfully, but if you see Snape on the way back, you should notify Professor McGonagall as soon as possible, and then send Hedwig to deliver a letter to Dumbledore. I need Their support. I may be able to contain Snape temporarily, but I will definitely not be his opponent."
"Ah¡¡"
Hearing Harry's brazen words, the sneer on Snape's face became even more disdainful.
Unaware that Snape was already on the side, the two cheered each other up again, and then Harry opened the bottle in his hand and drank the liquid inside.
"Good luck and be careful!"
At this time, Hermione didn't have time to worry about those incongruities, she watched Harry walk into the black flames, and then opened the round bottle
A hand suddenly stretched out from the air next to it, and grabbed Hermione's wrist firmly.
Immediately afterwards, Snape lifted off the invisibility cloak with a smirk on his face, and appeared in front of Hermione
